FIRST TIME REACTING TO | Cole Swindell "You Should Be Here"

[@jdodd2798]

I know you love the live versions, but the video on this breaks me every time! This song is about Cole's dad, who tragically died when he was working on a vehicle and it fell on him. RIP Sgt. Swindell.

This song is about his dad. This is the live version, and the song is beautiful, the video to this one is really a tear jerker with he and his brothers at the end visiting their dads grave. A beautiful song for sure!

[@TexasMagnolia]

The video is a must! Opens with a phone call to Dad upon signing his record deal…. A few months later, Cole lost his father in a freak accident. Footage of visiting his Dad is real and, the first visit.

[@jealousjelly]

Great reaction to a touching song. I hope you'll take time to watch the official video, because it puts things in perspective. The video shows him breaking the news to his dad that he had signed with Warner Records. And within two months, his dad died in a freak accident and missed all the great moments in Cole's life, like his winning the New Artist of the Year Award, his singing with Luke Bryan and Alan Jackson and his first appearance on the Grand Ole Opry. The scene at his father's grave left me in tears.

I LOVE Cole Swindell...he is from the next town from me...however, the video is exceptional and the graveside video was actually the first time he went to visit his father's grave site! 😢

[@ChrisHaar]

The official video of this song hits you hard in the feels.

[@karendavis2668]

Ugh... That got me. My daddy died in a truck accident in 1992; he was 41 and I was 11. I miss him every day. ❤

[@lesliebates22]

I lost my youngest son in 2007 when he was 13. My other son was 2yrs older than him so there's been so many "YOU SHOULDA BEEN HERE MOMENTS" ❤️🎵💯💯🎣🎣🎣. HIS HEADSTONE READS "GONE FISHIN' WITH GOD"

[@bradvarley7474]

Was hoping you would react to his music video. Gives the song so much more meaning. You should watch it when you can.

[@john.brown.]

I would always watch the official video to a song before any live version. Most of the time the video ties in with the song and makes it a better experience.

[@5150crazyfun]

I'd never heard of Cole Swindell at the time I first heard this song and it made me an instant fan. Definitely one of the few great story songs in a while for newer country. The official music video makes it much more emotional too. You should be there lol 🤣

[@kelikeys27]

You have one of the most soft spoken and calming voices. It has ASMR written all over it 🌻

[@marshalsullivan1311]

No matter how many times i hear this song it chokes me up everytime. Always makes me think of my mama and dad. God rest there soul. Thanks brit god bless

[@horacesaffore2639]

The video will bring many tears. To finally accomplish all the two of them had worked for and then...

[@pamagnolia]

Love this song. It’s about his dad. Touching. 😢

[@AmericanPatriot85]

I absolutely love this song, it hits home on so many levels...great reaction

[@sandrast.martin3613]

Love Cole Swindell! He's another one of the great country singers from the state of Georgia...

[@Mark_MOORE_VFL]

Congrats Britt on 170k great reaction to a beautiful song

[@quinjesuis9187]

😢😢😢 beyond touching the heart beautiful 🥲🥲🥲

[@tennpsyc0316]

Country music tells a story, usually one of some type of hurt or heartache- You cant get the same meaning from the live version... the video depicts the story/message in the song In the actual video... it has live footage of his brothers w him at his fathers gravesite ... The original video, as other people have said- Is a must watch ... but i notice that many times here ... its always live and rarely ever the official video

[@andrewjohnengelhart]

I just took my six year old to go see him on saturday he is an amazing guy. He had my son come up to the stage so he could sign his had

[@matthewdooley7855]

Great question! A lot of these redheads also write their own stuff, which might be one thing that helps them connect to the music. There's a ton of young male vocalists in country music, I think Cole Swindell will have a longer career than most of them.

[@wormholewilly3037]

i lost my dad a little over a year ago and its been a tough year. he didnt make it through a surgery. Its a tough one. I have to keep my mind busy or i get caught in memories and then i get a little misty eyed. Going to sleep is the worst because no matter how tired i am i find myself laying in bed for hours just running through memories until i finally pass out. its been a tough year

[@johnbarton1690]

Cole wrote this song about his dad retired military vet. that passed away right before Cole signed his first contract

[@sebastiansolimando1464]

How is the girl on KZbin who has the best reaction, best regards from Uruguay ❤😊✌️

[@davidcohen7146]

@Britt- Cole SWindell did this song in memory of his dad. He lost his dad at a young age. You need to watch the music video of this song though.

[@sportsfan5548]

In the video to this song, when Cole Swindell visits his dad's grave, that was literally the first time he had visited since his passing.

[@frank_in_s_jersey]

If it’s Country, you know it’ll tell a great story.

[@paulwoodcock112]

We played this for our dad at his funeral 😢8 years ago

[@20herbst]

You should check out Cole's song Dad's Old Number. I have lost my dad and that song really hits home

[@robwilliamson9056]

I lost one of my best friends a year ago in may from complications of a kidney transplant. Today is his birthday and this hits hard

[@justinea4480]

Love this song but it makes me cry 😭 because I miss my mom who passed away around twelve years ago 😭😭😭😭

[@michaeljenkins746]

I miss ted Christopher and bray wyatt

[@justinea4480]

@@michaeljenkins746 same here 😭 I'm here for you 🙏

[@justabaker5609]

Kind suggestions: The Fighter by Keith (PDC Member) Urban. The one from the CMA Awards with Carrie Underwood. You'll get a kick out of the audience. Humble and Kind by Tim McGraw

[@TheRealMrAndrew]

Swin-del. Amazing song. If you want some more country music, What Ifs by Kane Brown featuring Lauren Alaina is a must.

[@samf.6298]

Great song, great reaction but if you're feeling up to it go ahead and grab those tissues and watch the official video. Yes, it's sad but so powerful when it comes to family and what matters most.

[@michaeljenkins746]

I like this song

[@justinea4480]

Me too 😊

[@aprilphillips3404]

You should definitely go react to the original video... It's easier to understand the depth of this song with the music video on this one.

[@smedleybutler1969]

The music video is way way better and very emotional!

[@mikezeller4816]

Really missed out not doing the official video with this one..redo

[@JillCrowe55]

Please add Just As I Am by Brantley Gilbert to your list of great songs to watch ❤

[@diopermana7235]

Bravo putri Ariani the best seller di Amerika Serikat 🇮🇩🇮🇩🇮🇩🇮🇩🇮🇩🇮🇩🇮🇩🇮🇩❤❤❤❤❤❤

[@qdup7997]

Oooh do the official video

[@ricksexton8888]

Great reaction, but you need to see the video, reaction or not. This song is about his dad who died shortly after he signed his record deal. side note: ( his name is pronouced Swin Dell not Swindell)

[@codyclaeys2008]

You should react too aint worth the whiskey 😅

[@josephbeach6046]

This is his only song that is close to country. All his other songs are pop

[@grubbyD]

Should've reacted to the video to get the full "feel" of the song. This live version doesn't do it justice

[@RaymondSutherland-e8m]

Swin-dell

[@40granite]

Dang girl, the live version doesn’t give you the visual of what this song is really about. If you prefer the live versions, maybe you can do both, the live version, and the original music video, for us fans who want to see you get the full experience of the song? Maybe? Pretty please…

[@TnL-nt2kd]

Please react to Brett young "in case u didn't know'!

[@traviswissman5633]

NOOOOO, again another song that NEEDS the video.. Who is requesting these songs but not telling you these important things? Also, why are you throwing the official video in the ad then we click and you got a live version?? Cmon now.. lol, get all excited your bout to react to this video and then click and an immediate let down knowing you tricked us and it’s a live version. This is for his father, which the video would have shown that.

[@ScottThielmann-e8b]

Music video will break you!

[@therealcarter1353]

The Video is Better 😢

[@charlesweaver9079]

Should have done video first

[@joe2thesequel]

Should have been the video instead of the live on this one. Swing and a miss.

[@terryburke2620]

Brit you are one beautiful woman. WOW 😮

[@douglashayes3167]

and for the 490th time.... you NEEDED..... like reall y needed to watch the freaking video.... go find the live version after you get to know the song... with Country being 99% story telling....the official video is the way to go.... another song I was so pumped to see on your play list only to be disappointed again, that you picked the wrong thing to watch... almost made it a minute... and read the COMMENTS girl... they speak for themselves!!!
