FIRST TIME HEARING Brad Paisley- Whiskey Lullaby Ft. Alison Krauss REACTION

[@6DogNight]

Ok, who else saw the title, grabbed a box of tissues & took a deep breath before hitting play! Such a hauntingly beautiful song.

I sure did. 😥

[@myowndrum286]

No, he didn't shoot himself, he drank him self to death out of pain. Her too. Sad, sad, and often true song. It makes me cry every time. Thanks a lot guy! haha!

Alcohol poisoning is absolutely a real thing. It's how Keith Whitley and Amy Winehouse died.

[@patriciafontes5789]

This is such a sad song. I remember this happening a lot during The Vietnam war. My brother served during that time & did not come back the same . PTSD is no joke . He is a Purple Heart recipient. I just thank God he came back alive. Thank you to all Veterans for your service! Love & Peace.

[@tomh5006]

To me your brother is a true American Treasure and Hero! Much love to all who served and are still serving. I lost my hero, my Dad 9-11 19. Vietnam Veteran who saw a lot more than I would want to see. RIP Pops!!

[@patriciafontes5789]

Tom Hosier so sorry for your loss. May your Pops RIP. My father was my hero also, he was a Army WWll Veteran had 2 Purple Hearts. I was in the Navy. A lot of Veterans in my family. I love my fellow veterans! Thank you for your comment. That was nice to hear. Peace be with you.

[@laurensmith43017]

This song ALWAYS makes me cry and I’ve loved it since it was released in the early 2000’s. I love the way it’s written “put the bottle to his/her head and pulled the trigger”.. such a poetic way to describe the horrors of alcoholism and drinking themselves to death

[@elizabethmclauchlan6623]

I’ve never heard this song before. The tears are falling!

[@geraldbarras7785]

Glad you got to hear it. It's a sad song but also a beautiful piece of music 🎶

[@MadeInNewYork73]

Happened to someone I knew coming back from Vietnam. All because of a selfish she-witch. Died this year, never married. From Prom King to existing with booze & drugs. 😭

[@MadeInNewYork73]

@randywhite3947 Was a him. Afraid to say too much. Town I come from is very VERY small. Why got out of there!

[@shirleykelly9971]

This song is so powerful with Brad Paisley on the acoustic guitar coupled with Allison Krause angelic voice then you have Ricky Schroder who directed and starred in the video I cry every time I hear this song

[@KevinSchmitt77]

The blonde girl at the end is Schroder's daughter, too.

[@elizabethmclauchlan6623]

Didn’t know he directed this. It’s an excellent video!

[@sonjaashmore2972]

O love Allison's voice its like hearing an angel sing

[@lincolnlewis6979]

@Sonja Ashmore I agree 100% she has the best voice in music (at least in my opinion)

[@debbejones6086]

Allison Krauss, When You Say Nothing At All is a great song

[@michaelmacdonald334]

For clarification, they didn't commit suicide by guns. They killed themselves by drinking themselves to death, unintentionally. One big question I have for the reaction community: the song is called WHISKEY Lullaby, and it's a COUNTRY song... why does everyone act so surprised when they listen to it and it turns out to be sad?!!! 😂😂😂 As for Allison Krauss, she has won 27 Grammy's! This girl can sing! I would L😍VE for you to react to another one of her songs, Jacob's Dream. Keep the tissue box handy, it's a powerful one! Originally Allison didn't want to record it, because it was too sad of a song! kzbin.info/www/bejne/iqjEi4uLoaumr9E

[@austinsutton3003]

Personally I think it could mean both

[@deborahfoster3928]

I was gonna suggest "Jacob's Dream" also until I saw you already had. Beautiful, sad song.

[@judijohnson3153]

Duh

[@ElijahsGirl4ever]

Did anyone else notice that the bus driver is old man Wrigley from the Brooks and Dunn "Believe" video?

[@kristamcgukin6246]

The end of that video is so powerful! The greeting that should have been when he got home! Country songs, TRUE country songs..., are amazingly powerful!

[@kathleenlyon1427]

THis song does not exist without George Jones "He Stopped Loving Her Today". Classic country from the best voice country EVER had.

[@scottjames1401]

Facts. That being said, this ranks way up there.

[@treggliebler6237]

That was my dad's favorite song, he was married to my mom for 35 years. He died ten years ago. That song was all I could hear at his funeral.

[@kathleenlyon1427]

@randywhite3947maybe! It would be cool if it was.

[@tifaniarmintrout5132]

Alison Kraus - When you say nothing at all. Not the original artist but her voice is phenomenal. Tim McGraw - Don’t take the girl. Anything Randy Travis.

allison krauss sounds like an angel...beautiful voice....

[@kenrk]

Check out Allison: "When You Say Nothing At All", "The Lucky One", "Ghost in This House", and "Every Time You Say Goodbye". Another country artist you should check out is Mary Chapin Carpenter: "Rhythm of the Blues", "This Shirt", "Down In Mary's Land", and "I Take My Chances".

[@melissagibson3306]

Allison has the prettiest voice Ive ever heard.

[@reddragonready]

Yes!!! But check out the live versions!

Alison singing Down to the River to Pray is really good

[@Errorloadingvideo]

I forgot all about this song. I am ugly crying, missing my husband-😭

[@sleepybobo2403]

Alan Jackson's "Where Were You (When the World Stopped Turning)" is amazing in its honesty and the humane ease with which it captured a national moment.

[@robinhamilton2]

Allison Krauss is superbly blessed with the voice an angel. She has performed and recorded with countless fine musicians. I don't usually listen to country either, Jayvon, although I was married for 24 years, to a southern guitar player who was a bluegrass afficionado. I went from my world, to total immersion in old country and bluegrass. When you walk through the door into that world, you will discover some of the most amazing voices anywhere. Off the top of my head, I would suggest, among a hundred others, the beautiful harmonies in 'Whenever I Call Your Name'- co-written (with Tim DuBois) and performed by Vince Gill, who happens to have an extremely smooth voice, and is a fantastic guitar picker, and the talented Patti Loveless holding the harmonies. This is a classic country combination of piano, steel guitar and heartache. I could go back and second guess a recommendation, but honestly, I'd be here all night. There are so many artists and sub-genres under the wide category of country. It's like a box o' chocolates. Try a few! kzbin.info/www/bejne/q6jQeIp5f7SrpNk

[@eloyneerickson6166]

Beautiful! I believe Allison holds the record for the most Grammys won.

[@kathyjam2482]

The soldier is Rick Schroeder and the little girl is his daughter.

[@billf9526]

One of the most powerful lyrics that, the first time hearing, caught me off guard. Come to think of it, having heard it dozens of times now, it still hits hard. A gun isn't the only way to pull the trigger on yourself.

[@JustHeAndMe7733]

This song gets me Everytime. Especially with the base of the video being a veteran going through it and taking his life. I have many friends that are veterans and suicide among veterans is a real and tragic reality we face. None of our military men and women should ever have to feel like that's the answer especially after all of the sacrifices they make to protect us and our freedom. There needs to be more done to help them. And more done to show how grateful we are to them.

[@dperry203]

People fall into this situation all the time. Guys going off to war are scared they won’t come back. They rush into marriage before they leave. Which gives them something worth fighting for and reason to love and come back. But at the same time you are asking your wife to go without sex and a companion for months or years at a time that should be the honeymoon portion of the marriage. It’s a tough spot for both.

[@DMB088]

I've been a part of these salutes to many times. Even if you don't know the soldier you still feel the pain of losing a brother/sister. The final roll call is enough to bring the hardest of us to tears. A lesson to the young servicemembers, #1 Do not fall into the military love trap just because you don't have a GFBF or a person with multiple kids, #2 focus on your career, #3 work your ass off, #4 Listen to your superiors (buy a car with your SGT to make sure you're not being taking advantage of). 5#financial counseling/consulting. 6# alcohol is a death sentence (I'm there now) #7 leave your ego at the door. Good luck to all of you. Respect to all who have already done everything. -Army SGT-
