Darryl Worley - Awful Beautiful Life (Final)

Music video by Darryl Worley performing Awful Beautiful Life. (C) 2004 DreamWorks Records Nashville

[@Coreyswerny]

The solider in the video is SSG Michael Heiber from 101st Airborne 1-32 Cavalry HHT Unit. He is a good friend and great guy. When I met Darryl I told him we were in the same unit and he laugh because SSG Heiber is such a great guy. Thanks Darryl for the advice and help with the Wounded Warriors Unit giving us a concert.

[@jameswagner-4116]

How can we give an artist like Darell what he deserves in the music world?

[@Musical_Magpie]

This song speaks to me! My life has been a roller coaster since 2019 when my husband died suddenly of cancer, and there have been many ups and downs since then but also many blessings along the way. You need to keep your eyes open for the blessings, and know that the tears won't last forever.

[@michaelcollums4197]

I am lucky that I live by Pickwick Lake and I got to see Darryl play at local bars and the Moose lodge in Savannah before he got big in the 90's he is the real deal super nice and super talented.

[@christianspain3015]

Darryl Worley is really one of the best ever. He wasn’t at the top as long as others but still had some of the greatest music and messages.

[@ihvsc1295]

"and how he loved to be a Soldier more than most..." my favorite line in the song

[@djminibikez]

When country music WAS ACTUALLY MUSIC!! Damn, i miss my childhood. Early 2000s was the golden age for country! 2019/20 anyone??

[@josephballweg6361]

I agree completely. Country music has shifted away from actual country music so bad for the past ten years and it sucks. I grew up listening to this kind of music including Brooks and Dunn and I was born in 1986.

[@kailikadabee]

Good memories

[@djminibikez]

@@kailikadabee you know something's good if people revisit years later

[@firsttimeforge3596]

I wouldnt call it the golden age but it was the end of the good stuff thats for sure.

[@garlandcreel9679]

Nah, all through the 90s was the "golden era" and it ran through the early 2,000s. After that, they destroyed it.

[@colinray4186]

The vast majority of this video was filmed in my hometown of Springfield, TN. I recognize so much right down to the tobacco barn. Every time I feel homesick I just watch this video.

[@samgural4340]

I’d love to hear this on the radio again. It’s a truly timeless song.

[@lawrencehastings2101]

You won't to many people don't know what good music is nothing But junk on the radio y call it cuntry..radio if they don't play really country

[@MorganBlystone]

Agree with you 💯 percent ❤🎉

[@giantintergalactictapeworm4787]

The most underrated artist I can think of off the top of my head.

[@robertterrivintroux7814]

Giantintergalactic Tapeworm he has historically sang some very patriotic songs which have never gave him the recognition he deserves

[@zubairpasha71]

Absolutely agree .... so underrated ... love his music

[@Smurffitness]

chris knight, gary allan, to name a few who are better. I love the guy, but still.

[@southernautodiy2643]

Darryl Worley comes from the catfish capital, guess where that is? He also has a cancer treatment center named after him

[@blacklab1990ify]

I could not agree with you more....so many great songs!!!!

[@willydiesel2081]

Saw this guy back in 2010 or 2011 in Memphis Tennessee. I bought him and his wife of beer. They were on a date or I think it might have been their anniversary. At one of the local barbecue places. Nicest guy in the world! Tapped me on the shoulder at least two times to start a conversation with me while he sat next to us. I recognized them and address him by his name and told him I was a huge fan. Super accessible superhuman

[@ronaldfriend4866]

Awesome

[@jessicanobles0824]

You can't really smile until you shed some tears.... My favorite line in this song because it is very true in difficult times.

[@MariahDavison]

I was reading this comment right as he's saying those lyrics word for word.

[@RaginCountryBoy]

Good lord! 10 years ago? I remember watching this video on CMT back in the day! I must have been six. 10 years goes by so fast.

[@andygullion5182]

He is exceptional. Had a long run actually. Hope he does more.

[@folashadethompkins4984]

I love this song! It truly speaks to the soul! It really put a good feeling in my heart this morning. I even shed a few tears.

[@paml.6101]

Darryl Worley is the complete package. Thanks for all the great music.

[@MattSteeleOutdoors]

I always dug this tune, glad it popped up in my feed

[@gordon2K]

Truly beautiful, brings tears to my eyes watching and listening to this song & video. It' encompasses everything most Americans live thru in their lives; a loved one in the war, a wife trying to cure the sins of their husbands, a little too hard drinking to be solved by 'dragging him to church', God bless us all, and God has Blessed Darryl.

[@silverman001]

This song makes me smile every time i miss my buddy!! Lost my brother to cancer new years eve 2011 . Miss ya jeff!! I promise to carry on the life lessons you thought me. We will meet again!!!🍺🍺Cheers!!

I absolutely love this talented guy! He sings about real life that most of us can relate to. Can’t wait to see him again in concert.

[@spanishinfluenza]

I really wish people liked country more because it's so amazing I remember when country was always played on the radio now it isn't played as much ;~;

[@autdrew]

Move south or get Sirius

[@spanishinfluenza]

Lisa P I'm in Texas and still no one likes country music

[@autdrew]

SERIOUSLY?? Texas?? They have ALWAYS been the number 1 most proud! I really am shocked!! Has Austin weird taken the state? In now 25+ years around the military and Country, they've been the most loud n proud!! Come to GA/SC!! We've got tons. Texas? I've never met more proud

[@spanishinfluenza]

Lisa P people think that Texans are all hicks and loud but truth be told everyone in Texas is like everyone else everyone here -excluding me- likes the music which is popular now like rap or pop so yeah Texas is like every other state -we don't have accents like everyone thinks also-

[@autdrew]

I know that, I was remarking about the lack of country

[@agarrett9819]

Sitting here this morning trying to get motivated and catch up on office work - Darryl is what I needed on KZbin..

[@MorganBlystone]

This song talks a lot about me I was just out last night 🎉at the jefferson County fair now today I don't feel like getting up out of bed

[@TheAerovons]

Amazing musicianship on this, and Darryl, damn what a voice.

[@ruthysim]

Love this video and Darryl. He has never gotten the fame and fortune that he deserves. He is very gracious with his fans and supports our military. Thank you Darryl for supporting our troops and for your charity work.

[@claudiasfavoritebirdsongsv7162]

not an old man ... one who can touch the hearts of billions!

[@helendean5305]

This song lifts me up, thank you!!

[@act4666]

Me too!!! This one and A Good Day To Run!!!

[@tammyheral4104]

When life is throwing you for a loop its still beautiful . Hang in there

[@codeywinters7790]

cant help but smile and bob your head to this great music

[@silverman001]

the kinda song that makes you forget all lifes problems!! makes them a little less painful

[@jeremyds45]

One of the best songs. Period

[@Dennette-eo2ch]

I have always loved your voice I did get to see you,live & just loved you more than I did , God bless you and yours ❤️🦋

[@jacktripper7099]

What a beautiful song.

[@TheMulticamfan]

I wish country was still this good! I really miss those days.

[@mariap.brennan1259]

I'm with you Billybob! If I have to hear one more song about tailgates, tight blue jeans and blue eyes, I think I'll scream! Where are the true life stories and original melodies?

[@Mert96sS]

I totally agree with both of you. They definitely don't make music like THIS anymore.

[@jkstewart55]

I know you made this comment 6 months ago but like Waylon said once "image consultants" have taken over Nashville. Its not about the music. Its not about their lives. Its about what sells and what makes the most money. Typical greedy big business corporations

[@penneydonohue4871]

Kyle Stewart you are right in some ways

[@sharoncooley5426]

Billybob James me too the good old time country

[@VinnydaNetEnginner632]

2004 was the year for country

[@autdrew]

I use this line often when trying to describe being a military wife. I ALWAYS attribute it. got to see & meet him on a USO tour, extra sweet because they saw me with my surgical boot & cane and put me head of line 💕

[@Tokslaboss]

Still one of my fav song 🎵

[@marinescntrygirl2]

This is such an amazing and real song. Great song Darryl like many of your others. True to feelings and life.

[@jimmyc7540]

Great car driving tune

[@jeeadvanced6533]

Daryl worley u are a music genius ❤❤❤😊😊😊

[@BuckyBrown-t5x]

This song keeps me going when times get tough thanks you.

[@zeebee9356]

The book Awful, Beautiful Life was just released and I can't wait to read it!

[@jeeadvanced6533]

Its 2024 i watched ur all songs , love em all ❤❤

[@garmen987]

Some songs can brighten a day in a matter of minutes. As a side note if your inspired to look up the video and it contains a beautiful car like that, the day is even better.

[@pamhospodarsky6129]

What a total description of life!

[@davidfabian2604]

Now this is what country should be

[@cate4310]

David Fabian Amen to that. I love this video.

[@phoenixmeharg5514]

+David Fabian i love this guys music

[@Shadow-Walker-13]

+David Fabian Country music has lost it's way now of days.

[@jeeadvanced6533]

Amen to that

[@rangerrsh]

Darryl Worley is an awesome man he visted us while in Iraq and sang then when I got home I got the pleasure to meet him at a concert and we talked for like 30 minutes.....super awesome person

[@klong2023]

Looking forward to seeing him at our county fair on Independence Day 2022!!

[@makradi]

Thank you Darryl! A wonderful song!!

[@penneydonohue4871]

Beautiful song ever

[@michaelhoward6442]

Man I wish I could have met my great great uncle ed. The man in the begging of the video.

[@carriepeters1955]

Who else loves that old man?

[@killthequiet]

ive been looking for this for so long i love this song so much

[@CobiSimon]

I love the chorus because of the good use of adjectives and obviously the music.

[@jakeTsnake101]

thats a badass chevelle

[@candicemachella7037]

I love this man songs especially where were you when the world stops turning by him.

[@dustinscheller7795]

Great song, can't believe it only has 1 million views

[@kimlebouton]

I don't disagree with any comments that I've read. I bet that Josh Turner or Brad Paisley can explain that country always returns to it's roots. Sometimes it has to go through Bakersfield or Austin or some small unknown village in North Korea. Sometimes roller coasters are built that way. I'm even guessing Darryl Worley might be a great college history professor, but I've never heard him interviewed. Be careful with sharing too much info online, but here goes... I'm a left coast elite-ist (born and raised, PhD dropout from the "little" bear college) that's departed father (an Okie that stumbled into California via a military base near Joshua Tree) taught me who the King of Western Swing was long before I could walk, talk, or all those other "Awful Beautiful" things. Sorry for spelling and grammar errors, I got that A in algebra!

[@saadbinrauf6883]

I recorded this song on audio from FM Radio Pakistan in my childhood

[@SteveKACH570]

When my dad went away to war ..i put this song on hes i-pod he told me that he loved it very good song.....

[@davidcallowayjr2098]

Love this song

[@matthewdavis2987]

I swear these country artists r real...

[@kristinerickson8350]

BEAUTIFUL!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

[@1cummins4life65]

IDK what happened to music but this song took me 🔙 when the world wasn't so crazy

[@roncornell4345]

Give me a hell yeah for Darryl Worley

[@drivs5642]

Yeah from Darryl. Yeah Never Quit.

[@silverman001]

looking forward to summer and cruizin the country dirt roads!!!

[@coreywilson138]

2019 and still awesome music.

[@austingriggs8671]

The old man at the beginning reminds me of my dad and his buddies. Awnry old men!! lol

[@ricochetrob]

It's 'ornery', as in ... 'Some dude graciously gave me a spelling lesson, but seemed more like he was bein' ornery.'

[@user-tl5dc6np5y]

Thank you for your music, it helps me on long days.

[@fast7douglas658]

Brings me these song when little

[@Haydens-il6th]

I love your songs and voice

[@CreatureLikeGod]

six years later this song still gives me goosebumps

[@legendBrett]

i love this song =)

[@sharoncooley5426]

I saw him in small town peach festival in Campbell Missouri

[@tiffanybittman7523]

Keeps me going

[@dutchgrl35]

I think this is a great song. I also think the he was a real guy, and I have always wondered what happened to him.

[@spanishinfluenza]

He's waiting in a secret bunker awaiting the day the country music rapture happens so he can be country Jesus and push Justin Gayber off stage and culture the children dumb enough to listen to Gayber

[@deatheater98]

i love that old man in his vids, so commical :D

[@heatherwilson9610]

Best country bring it back to how it use to be

[@MrFer150]

Favorite part I lay in bed that night and thought about that day and how my life is like a roller coaster ride

[@stitcho7563]

Met him in 2000. A really nice guy.

[@captainjacksparrow5933]

This is a great song! I really know how this feels. 😅

[@hannahwilliams3535]

This is my cousin and I didn't even know he sung until now oh my god lol

[@joshridgell4312]

I guess it’s safe to say y’all don’t keep in touch🤷🏽‍♂️😂😂 and I guess it’s safe to say you don’t listen to country music either, there’s no way you woulda not seen him, 12 years ago I remember seein this guy on cmt all the time I loved his music, still do

[@frankt9288]

Seriously? Lol

[@brittanymccreary8163]

How are you related to Him that’s so cool

[@thisolcowboy21]

[@Agermanshepherdsheba]

[@wayneedward7391]
