First Time Hearing Tim McGraw - Don't Take The Girl Reaction Video - IS THIS A POP OR COUNTRY HIT?!

[@rickwelch8464]

"Take the very breath you gave me, take the heart from my chest". Gets me every time.

[@leevan_truck_offroadlife]

Im a older man and it brings me to tears every time

[@glennallen239]

Don''t Take the Girl was a Country Hit!

[@kylesummers1565]

Peace, Love!!

[@kylesummers1565]

@Tim McGraw I think so?

[@johnamadeusknight679]

More country please. Country music opened my mind to so many other ideas when I write songs. Please consider these suggestions (more will come): Billy Cyrus "Achy Breaky Heart" "Words By Heart" Little Texas "God Bless Texas" "Amy's Back In Austin" "My Love" " and so many others Dwight Yoakam "Try Not To Look So Pretty" "Fast As You" Shania Twain - almost every song she has. Shania Twain and Faith Hill were two of the first country singers to bridge the gap between pop music and country music. Shania Twain is (or was) married to record producer Robert John "Mutt" Lange. One of the greatest bands he produced in the 80s was Def Leppard.

[@timlamb-o3d]

The context on "don't take the girl" changed. His dad told him "some day you'll change your mind". Btw research says she did survive, that was her running at the end of the viseo. The whole point of the song is how the context changed.

[@jerrywalters8885]

Another beautiful story song that is tragic and beautiful is Bucky Covingtons I'LL WALK

[@cog4life]

Humble and kind is a great one!! Official Video please. Thanks!! ❤❤

[@ddwedd8667]

I interpreted the first part of this song a little differently when I was younger. I thought the boy and girl were friends, which is why she had a fishing pole and wanted to go fishing with them. But the dad was telling his son we can't leave her behind, as in she can't stay at their house alone, they need to take her home. And when he said son I know you don't want her to go I thought that was like the son doesn't want the girl to go home. He wants her to go fishing with him. Someday you'll change your mind, I thought was the Dad's way of saying like you know someday as you get older and things change you'll grow apart, because that's just kind of a common thing that happens in life. Of course that can be difficult to explain to a young kid so it's just easier to say you know someday you'll change your mind. And then the next part singing about Jimmy Tommy and Bo, I thought was like send them home but don't take the girl home, because he had a childhood crush on her and wanted her to stay with him. So then I thought like the rest of the song was kind of like in a way proving his dad wrong that what might have seemed like a silly childhood crush didn't fall apart as they got older, it only got stronger.

[@stephanie3230]

Not a fan of country but this song, and definitely the video, always makes me cry.

[@rebeccamcvey8600]

The Highway Don't care featuring Taylor Swift and Keith Urban is really good.

[@mohammadalamsyah7290]

Katrina verlade burn reaction

[@aaroncasey9696]

U should see 1883

[@jamesmosley8724]

The mom died

[@MrOfficialGamez]

This song is pure 90’s country gold. I’m in my 20’s now and I have fond memories of hearing my parents play this as a kid

[@paulharris9250]

SAME! I’m 28 now and gotta miss all those 90s hits that mom played in the car

[@KevinScarbrough-xd9cl]

Lol im 37 and your have no clue of the real shit

[@Lorenzorange1]

23 here and my mother used to always play this song when I was a kid too!

[@Prudog]

I am in my early twenties and I am so glad my town has a station that plays 90’s and earlier country songs for 5 straight hours every Sunday.

[@kimking6036]

This was very early in Tim's career. He's still putting out great music. His wife is Faith Hill. She's also a country singer. Tim has songs like, You'll remember me, Live like you were dying, Real good man, I like it I love it. Humble and Kind. Some with his wife. Let's make love, It's your love and speak to a girl

[@astralnomad]

He and his wife Faith Hill are both now actors too - they did the tv miniseries 1883 about settlers making the long drive on the oregon trail..

[@AzazelTheFallen]

I love watching reactions to this song cause you can tell the EXACT moment when it gets way too real for the guys watching it.

[@robertg7396]

I love in music, country in particular; can take the same exact lyric, use it multiple times, and each time it takes on a completely different meaning. Brilliant! Another example of this is; Kenny Chesney, "There goes my life". Great reaction today guys! May the 4th be with you! 😃

[@reneebush2399]

Yes!! I love when country brings Musical Motifs into the songs. Especially lyric wise. Loved that Hardy brought it back recently with his song “a rock”.

[@jerrywalters8885]

Lucky the girl makes it at the end you can see her running to go fishing with them. Wonderful storyteller. I also love his first hit INDIAN OUTLAW. Really shows his range

[@ToddVance]

according to the music video....not the song.

[@creinicke1000]

​@ToddVance in the song it's implied because each verse is calling out to not take the girl and eCh yi.e she's OK.. so, to me, she always was fine because that's how the verses went. The positive vibe of the song would never end with her dying..

[@ToddVance]

@@creinicke1000 well I'm just saying... this is just the interpretation of the guys hired to make the video. Great video but it doesnt necessarily reflect the actual lyrics. I would HOPE that God would allow her to live but the song doesn't tell us, so we cannot empirically state that she lived because some Nashville producers decided to make her live in a video...thats all.

[@NathanBailey123]

This is a great 90s country song from Tim mcgraw, but you should listen to gary allan right where I need to be, it's also 90s country, gary allan is my favorite country artist of all times

[@frederickseltzerjr2170]

You should listen to the first duet he did with his amazing and beautiful wife, Faith Hill ... called "It's Your Love."

[@757optim]

The last frames of the video are of "the girl".

[@gatorgotme]

The end of the video shows Johnny as a father taking his son Johnny fishing…with the woman(girl) living.

[@Armyaunt73]

Tim McGraw has some amazing songs like, Humble & Kind, Live Like your Dying, Speak to a Girl, Angry All the Time, Real Good Man, My Little Girl, etc.

[@kevinsharpjr]

The woman in the video doesn't die she is seen walking in the field at the end of the video.

[@jenniferewing4504]

Wanna compare cou try to rock singers - try Dave Matthews and Kenny Chesney ---- I'm Alive ...

[@Gutslinger]

I like Tim McGraw's older stuff from the 90's. I remember seeing a ton of him and his wife's stuff when I was a little kid in the 90's. I'm not really a fan of his modern stuff beyond the 2000's, even though I know a lot of people are.. His singing style has seemed to change to me since the 90's. Seemed like he dropped the unique qualities that I used to like about him. But that's just my opinion.

[@creinicke1000]

Of course she survives.. Each verse starts with trouble but moves to positive, so ending will of course be fine and it starts last verse in the fade out with new boy going fishing .. the baby now a little boy.

[@maryrichardson1318]

I love the progression in this song, from the 8 year old boy, who wouldn't touch a girl with a ten foot pole (cooties!), to being willing to give his own life to spare hers.

[@warrendelay]

It's crazy how people that were always into only hip-hop find it surprising that a song would actually tell a story, You said: "He's actually talking about something". Yes he is, just as songs have historically, from happy, fun stories like the Beatles "yellow submarine" to this touching emotional song. Song lyrics have historically had storylines. That is until Hip-hop came along with just bass and word rhymes. Often, we see hip hop fans having a problem actually being able to focus enough on lyrics to put the words together for cognitive understanding. I've seen their eyes go blank like a puppy trying to understand a language while bobbing their heads completely out of sync with the music. It's odd watching a generation that has been lost from real music reacting as if it's something from another planet. when in reality, it is THEY that have been lost in space while listening to nonsensical beat noise. But you seem like nice people. I hope you continue to discover real music and song. Thank you for your video.

[@ericwalker8636]

This is precisely the revelation that occurred to me when he was making that comment about the song. He's not as familiar with what a more traditionally constructed SONG sounds like.

[@williamlewis1001]

Try Phil Collins in the air tonight in concert

[@carybrown3192]

What is Phil's favorite saying in their videos, hmmm, with that being said, that's an easy question to answer if you pay attention to the other videos!

[@glenketchum6379]

Probably the best full circle song ever produced!!! I enjoy your commentary and the way you two interact together as you react to new music. Thanks for what you do!

[@traceycater]

Definitely a good song, but, “In The Ghetto” I think is a great full circle song!

[@seanscanlon9067]

Stay by Sugarland and There Goes My Life by Kenny Chesney are others, and country music loves to use a particular title or lyric where the same line has more than one meaning.

[@curtismarsh4528]

His Biological father is Tim McGraw, CY Young award-winning pitcher for the Phillies.

[@shirleyedwards116]

Do Tim McGraw, Taylor swift,and Kieth urban the highway don't care,

[@rbodee]

He also played the father in the football movie, "Blind Side".

[@barsandbarbells2022]

Did not know that!

[@jonfazzone5125]

Sticking to Country Martina McBride “Concrete Angel” Bring the Tissue’s

[@larrybench6398]

Hey guys, I'm a new subscriber, and enjoy watching your reaction show, Tim, did a great job on this song, I would like to request a song by Alan Jackson, called "SO YOU DON'T HAVE TO LOVE ME ANY MORE" you will enjoy it it's a great song by one of the best country singers ever, hope you give it a try. THANK YOU.

[@georgeb6079]

That's not music. Try Sara Bareilles gravity or Manhattan or st Honesty. Aimee Mann or Bob dylan cowboy junkies that's music

[@d_Howard]

The whole song is great, but the BEST part is the last scene where the dad was taking the family fishing, and "the girl" (the new mother who was having a rough go during the delivery in the hospital) came running up carrying the baby in a carseat! Woohoo! Thank the Lord for answered prayer! P.S. I hate when KZbin puts ads and video suggestions over top of the last 10-15 seconds of EVERY video! A lot gets missed.

[@simon_wiggle_fan]

You should check out the Australian children's group, the Wiggles. Although they are geared toward preschool/kindergarten kids, they do a few songs that aren't really "little kid" songs. They're celebrating 30 years this year, you should check out their version of the song, Castle Of Dromore. It's an old Irish lullaby originating in the 1800s, it's a very good song and would make for a great reaction video ❤

[@Jason-qy4rt]

Some decisions aren't really decisions. You know the answer already, everything else is nope! When something that can't happen, happens, your left in a world of nope! it breaks the mind.

[@sonnyharrelson3897]

OK, Great song I believe the sadness of it gives it something most do not expect. Now I will try again to bring you to a artist I believe will open a new rabbet hole for you two. The artist name is Collin Raye and the song One Boy, One Girl.. Collin Raye I have seen live and he has some hits you two WILL like, list is " Love Me, 2. " Really Not That Different. 3. If I Were You, 4. " Little Rock. Plus a few others but this will be enough to start you on you way. Each song tells great stories. Oh, if you listen to Love Me, get the tissue ready.

[@getdavo1]

Mother died giving birth...... she comments at the end " I love this song,,,its so cute!" What???? :-)

[@garrymoore2161]

Such a clever use of a repetitive phrase to show how males look at females in a heterosexual situation. We begin by begging older males to not force us to be with those cootie spreaders. Dad, please don't take the girl with us. We grow to realize that she is more important than any material possession we have. Here's my wallet with my money in it, here's the only thing I have left to remember my grandma-take this watch, here's my car keys, my credit card. Look guy, take all I own but don't take what I want most. Don't take the girl from me. Eventually, we are as willing to lay down our life for her as Jesus was willing to lay down His life. We think we can offer God something he does not have and we try to bargain. Then we realized our life might be worth an exchange for hers and we offer our very life to God. At that point I. The song, God has made the man see how very much she is. No need to take her or the boy . At the end of the video, you see Johnny Sr taking little Johnny fishing and his son is now right years old. And who is coming along carrying their picnic basket? That's right, the girl.

[@williamparrish9954]

You should do more Tim McGraw do Indian outlaw and if your reading this Also my next 30 years

[@MarcusBumgardner-d4e]

It is a life long story of a couples journey and how ewwww became an beautiful family

[@zachdoughty1562]

"he sounds country " hahaha it's Tim frigging Mcgraw wonder why it sounds country? this new age country pop crap is just that! CRAP! 90's country is dead. 😢

Men sacrifices are rare nowadays . Most are made by women but love the song

[@jamescoleman8954]

Yes I’m with my mother tells me I was never that boy that didn’t want anything to do with girls. She said I was flirting with girls from the age of 11 I had my first girlfriend at five years old, so yeah I never had that don’t take the girl moment as a boy.

[@rebeccamcvey8600]

Also plays the dad in the remake iof Flicka.

[@barbaradawdy6317]

You guys have GOT to react to 'I Like It I Love It'!

[@alvarovargasbang-wutang8461]

Looking at your guys's faces, both of you look like liars.

[@blakem1932]

Welcome to 90's country. You can understand them, and be told a story.

[@karlcarr9784]

I love that Tim didnt actually show or say if the mother died or not. It allows us to choose our own ending in our heads.

[@jamescoleman8954]

I love this song such a great song but I have one great with it. He left it open at the end. Where did she live? Did she die? We would all hope that she ultimately lived but he leaves it open I guess for interpretation.

[@joshMitchell-xt7pu]

You realize she died in labor that’s why he said at the end he was taking him fishing at 8 years old

[@deniseadkins2901]

Christians feel that feeling all of the time. We are willing to die for each other literally. Christ died for us so we should be willing to give up our lives as well.

It's Don't Take THE Girl not that girl.

[@MommaBird52]

Right at the end joining Johnny and little Johnny was "the girl".

[@planojag595]

This song has such a powerful message. Thanks for doing this one. My favorite songs from the great Tim McGraw are When She Wakes Up, One of These Days, Just To See You Smile, Don't Take the Girl, Can’t Be Really Gone, I Do But I Don’t, Angry All the Time, Grown Men Don’t Cry, Back When, My Little Girl, Everywhere, You Had To Be There, and If You’re Reading This.

Defintely country. His wife Faith Hill has more crossover hits beyween country and pop though.

[@aletmartins6940]

Their duets are beautiful!❤

[@jeremywilcox5470]

This was the song that got me into country when I was 8yrs old, and my grandma showed me this video. I'm 35 and still tear up once in a while to this... edited part, I'd recommend Indian outlaw, it's a fun one.

[@danrudnick5252]

A good amount of pop and country and R&B were interchangeable in the 90's. Just depended how much of a drawl you had and if you used a steel guitar.

[@ChibiHoshiDragon]

Or a fiddle

Another great 90s country song you should check out The River And The Highway by Pam Tillis, daughter of country great Mel Tillis. I haven’t seen a single reaction to it yet, and it’s a great story about men and women, and the video is incredible with a Native American theme.

[@willieboy3011]

[@barsandbarbells2022]

Thank you!

Tim McGraw's dad was 20 year MLB pitcher Tug McGraw. He played for the Mets and Phillies. He was best known for being a high-strung ball of fire, in big situations, slapping his glove against his thigh as he walked off the field between innings. Tim's dad was dying of cancer when he recorded Live Like You Were Dying.

[@tonycampbell4982]

I Like It I Love It Refried Dreams Not A Moment To Soon were his biggest songs. I opened for him in 1995 with a cover band. His dad was a pro pitcher in MLB.

[@3SailorMartin]

Another good one by Tim McGraw "Live Like You Were Dying"

[@MarcusBumgardner-d4e]

This song was all over when i owned horses at the stables in the 90s. This was my favorite and the first song of my now over 900 song karaoke list. This song is so well written and performed.

[@cathybrookeburt2616]

This is one of Tim's earliest hits. My fav is his official video for 'Humble & Kind' & 'Live like you were dying' is also great. Tim is married to country star Faith Hill & they have some great duets together like 'I need you' & 'It's your love'. They also star on the TV spinoff from Yellowstone, called 1883. They have been married over 20 years & have 3 grown daughters now.

[@kimberlyosborne1977]

Tim did a song with Nelly that blended rap and country really well also. It's called Over And Over great song.❤❤❤

[@beckyconner3632]

Did you see that his prayers were answered? “The girl” lived and was running towards them with a picnic basket at the very end of the video ❤

[@cathysmith2941]

When I heard this song for the first time it really got Me hooked on country music the way tum Mcgraw tells a story and makes this come full circle.. love the part when he says this And there he prayed Take the very, breath you gave me Take the heart from my chest I'll gladly take her place if you'll let me Make this my last request Take me out of this world God please, don't take the girl That whole verse gets me everytime... What a great reaction do a reaction to tim Mcgraw live like you were dying thats another good one by Tim mcgraw he has so Many good songs

[@barsandbarbells2022]

Thank you! Live Like You Were Dying Seems like a popular request!

[@honda86tb]

Tim is my favorite. One of his latest, “7500 OBO” is one of the best

[@tidentrue]

“Something Like That” is a very fun song with probably the best line ever. “ I bet you don’t remember me and I said only ever other memory” Lyrical gold right there

[@jeremycates3570]

how the meaning of the words "don't take the girl" evolves from the begenning to the end. 🥲💔❤
