FIRST TIME REACTING TO | Tim McGraw "Live Like You Were Dying"

[@joemckinley754]

This is a true song for Tim as well. His father, Hall of Fame pitcher Tug McGraw passed away from cancer.

[@sweeney60]

I feel like this will be the song Tim McGraw will be remembered for.

[@TommyLMason]

OMG!!! Wow!! I did not know that Tug McGraw was Tim’s father! 😮 RIP Tug 🕊️🕊️😇

[@markd2851]

Wow! What a day. This morning got news of a close and dear coworker who passed away from leukemia. Spent the day just walking around. Walked to the cemetery to visit my mother’s grave then walked to my dad’s house for dinner. Just got home and saw you dropped this video a couple hours ago. Coincidence? Who knows. All part of the healing process. Thanks Britt!

[@jlbarstowful]

A number of years ago, I went through a cancer scare. This song got me through. I was lucky; I was cancer free. But, I'll always be grateful for this song.

[@MadMax-pu1kj]

Listen to Tim McGraw sing "Indian Outlaw"... before he was married and Country Music's Bad Boy.

[@telemperor]

My mom, a sister and an aunt died when I was 5. I'm 50 and I have stories about the places I've been and the things I've done. When I had a heart attack and a stroke a little over a year ago I wasn't scared I just wanted my kids next to me so they wouldn't regret it if my surgery went bad. My life has few regrets, but mostly it's things I said or did that didn't represent my true heart.

[@brianburkhammer4255]

I love you girl

[@amybennett8447]

Please check out the duet with Tim and Faith singing "Speak to a Girl".

[@DennisGayhart-s3t]

Tim McGraw has done some acting also...Blind Side...TV series 1883 with Faith Hill

[@ashleywatts6235]

1883 is an awesome show!!

[@hoytarchery5302]

This is the 1st song I liked that was country about 20 years ago.

[@rickmts]

I think Tim was really affected by his dad’s death. It seemed to really change him, like he realized it would happen to him some day. BTW, Tug was a great pitcher for the NY Mets

[@Kirsty-qz2sc]

This song was one of my mantras whilst going through my Cancer journey

[@MikkiHjalmquist]

Undivided is another good one by Tim.

[@vernonpike8344]

BRITT, DO YOU REALIZE JUST HOW BEAUTIFUL YOU ARE? MY GRACIOUS WOMAN, YOU ARE ONE OF THE MOST BEAUTIFUL WOMEN I HAVE EVER SEEN!

[@Rabessey]

Speaking of Faith Hill, her song: 'The Way You Love Me.', has this great line: I love the way you love the way you love me.

[@KittCrescendo]

Tim McGraw is great with adding all sorts of textures to his voice to keep it interesting.

[@bman133]

Don't wait till your sick...

[@aliciagritz1030]

Tim found out Tug McGraw was his father at 11. This song was for his father!

[@davidhodges7535]

Tim McGraw and Faith Hill have a do it together called let's make love You need to check it out

[@monicarose7549]

This is me. I was diagnosed with stage 2 breast cancer Dec 6 2022. I did the chemo radiation and bilateral mastectomy. I am in full remission praise Jesus.

[@scottp.2995]

Amen, Baby!

[@raymonddevera2796]

Tim was estranged from Tug McGraw when he was younger, but reconnected when they got older.😢

[@williamthomas7509]

It's important to note that he didn't learn who is dad was till he was 11 years old. Tug didn't recognize TIm officially until Tim was about 17 he had doubts that Tim was his son. They were estranged as much as they had no relationship at all. They did finally connect and built a good relationship. Tug actually gave Tim's career a boost by reaching out to record producer in Nashville. He also bought Tim a tour bus for him and his band before Tim got his record deal.

[@bella-xp7qd]

There was a real bull named Fu Man Chu . American Bucking Bull Inc. is a worldwide bucking bull and breed registry. Fu Man Chu had a buckoff rate of 82%, meaning he bucked off 82% of the bullriders that got on him, who on average, held on for 3.51 seconds before getting bucked off.Tim McGraw and (Tim's real life wife) Faith Hill tackle the Old West as husband and wife in '1883' Tim McGraw, and Faith Hill star in Paramount +'s “1883.” He also co starred in the movie The Blind Side.

[@triman95]

They were both soo good in "1883".

[@dylnfstr]

1883 was filmed here in Granbury, TX where I live. Also Taylor Sheridan and Koe Wetzel have homes here.

[@joshusdean5821]

We all should live like this because we’re not promised tomorrow. Another really good song of his is Where the green grass grows.

[@charlesc7950]

Nothing wrong with browsing the menu as long as you don't order.

[@mikeydonnie]

Ronald Reagan used to joke that the nine most frightening words in the English language are, "We're from the government and we're here to help ". I've since come to say when it comes to the most frightening words in the English language, there are only two. And it's the first time you or a loved one puts the words "my oncologist " in a sentence.

[@betsybabf748]

I was widowed at 41 with 5 children. Tomorrow is my late husband's birthday. You would love Real Good Man by Tim. Definitely a Panty Dropper's Club song.

[@vampfashions]

Thanks for holding it together. Hope you have a great party filled with laughs and memories. And live your fullest life!

[@firequeen2194]

Yes!

[@jasonenglisbe9646]

Please review his song "Please Remember Me" which has Patty Loveless on harmony vocals.

[@susanpeterson9947]

I’m sure you would LOVE Tim’s Real Good Man! Very upbeat and cheeky!

[@luispruneda915]

Would love to see you reaction to Real Good Man! I think you will enjoy it.

[@brianyanez549]

If you like the rugs on stage you need to watch him sing real good man in concert. He is nice and comfy in a recliner on stage. It's on KZbin and the video has him singing 2 really good songs back to back

[@kylesummers1565]

If we all lived like we were dying, the world would be a better place. Peace, Love!!

[@waltkimballjr5133]

But all of us ARE terminal if you think about it

[@darrinlindsey]

I believe Tim chose to record this song because his Dad (Who he didn't know growing up) had died, in 2004, after a courageous battle with cancer. His Dad, known as Tug, was a 20 year Major League Baseball Pitcher. A very well decorated one at that. At age 11, in 1978, Tim learned the identity of his father, but, deep into the late chapters of his baseball career, Tug denied parentship. Seven years later, after he retired, Tug found Tim and owned up to being Tim's father. They had a wonderful relationship from then, on. Tug spent his last days at Tim and Faith's home, where he died in 2004.

[@VincentManiscalco]

This is actually true for him. This song was written for his father tug McGraw, who used to pitch for the New York Mets. !

[@montedienno4413]

1980 world series champion Phillies you meant

[@VincentManiscalco]

@@montedienno4413 Yes but he played his first nine seasons with the Mets so saying he played for the Mets is ok no ??

[@erikrichards5072]

​@@montedienno4413 1969 champion Mets first.

[@bubbydos111]

One of my favorites from Tim. Great advice to live your life through.

[@DrTramp-uu1hh]

Vietnam convinced me that life was too short and uncertain to spent it living a "normal" life so I spent the next 50+ years wandering the world seeing, experiencing, and doing stuff and talking with people that most folks only see on TV. Now I'm in my late 70s and retired living in a body full of pain, worn, damaged, and rebuilt parts but I had a lot of fun wearing this body out.

[@matthewdooley7855]

So glad you're listening to this! Always thought you'd enjoy it on several levels. This songs builds really well! Tim has a lot of really deep, powerful songs, but I think this might be the best one. We can all learn from it! I believe McGraw really wants to help people through his music, whether that means "just" entertaining them, or teaching something important. A similar song is Rodney Atkins "if You're Going Thru Hell (Keep on Going)". But have you listened to some of Tim's earlier songs? "Indian Outlaw" is a JAM.

[@beezieboo2105]

Tim was my moms one true love ❤ she was diagnosed with cancer in march of last year and lived 9 months. Im heart broken because we used to lay in bed and sing this song together when i was little never knowing we would be living it. Love the people around you! Its the most important thing you will do in this lifetime

[@kreg517]

Tim McGraw did in fact do this song in honor of his father who passed away at the age of 59. His father was Tug McGraw, who was a pitcher for the Philadelphia Phillies. He was the closer when they won the World Series in 1980. Tim was the product of a one night encounter with Tim’s mother while Tug was in the minor leagues. I live about 5 minutes from where Tug lived during his playing days and would often see him on the streets or in a restaurant with his family!

[@travisdean8794]

There is no such thing as tomorrow. Not for any one of us. There’s only today.

[@rch2464]

Watch Tim sing Eddie Rabbit song Suspicions

[@cog4life]

This official video is AMAZING --You must watch it 😊❤This is a phenomenal song. True facts. 😊❤

[@Powersparky59]

Once again you stop and talk way to much , now the tslking while its playing i like but yep just stopped it for second time and it just stsrted

[@marijaneharless-smith1098]

Nothing wrong with admiring what god graced us with. Just so long as you stay true to you and yours.

[@mikeydonnie]

Standing Room Only is another good one from Tim Mcgraw

[@irmaoksanen6830]

Song brought me to tears. First time hearing it. Heard today someone share about having a near death experience and how beautiful it really is. To be received in love.

[@brandy012173]

Look up “Play it Again” by Luke Bryan. You won’t regret it! It was my brother & his wife’s song. He’s gone now and missed very much but his wife and kids and the rest of us. This song was kind of like the example of what started a family. There are moments that you HAVE TO MEMORIZE. They’re what make us alive. 💕

[@DavidSingerSongwtr]

One of his best songs is Please Remember Me.

[@thekingcobra63]

favorite Tim song is Refried Dreams.

[@butterflymama0838]

This is one of my favorite songs of Tim's. It's such a beautiful song. My life was definitely put into perspective in November. I found a limp about 8 months ago. I finally did something about it. I was scared. It was cancer, but luckily an operable tumor. I got a lumpectomy and have to get mammograms every 6 months. This was a really great reaction, Britt and I'm sorry to hear about your friend. God bless her at this time of need 😥🙏🏼 Edit: Tim is such a hottie 💋🔥

[@llorona7847]

Saw someone else suggest Real Good Man and I have to say, I believe you’d have a good time with that one

[@lismariesweetie]

Can you please do pam tillis mi Vida loca?

[@Andrew-ms8md]

"Real good man" live. It doesn't fit with the theme of the last 2 songs but one of my favorites

[@dianneodom3918]

I love that song by Tim McGraw

[@scoobysnacks]

He's a very good actor too. You should watch the show 1883. It's a spin-off of the show Yellowstone and Tim McGraw and Faith Hill are the main characters. It's very good.

[@neighbourlady]

Great reaction! Love Tim! As far as the married guy and the PDC? I mentioned once around my 12 year old daughter some man was attractive - and she was "MOM! You're married!" I said "Yes - married but not dead. I can look at the menu and comment how good things look - doesn't mean I am ordering anything. I can look." Time is fine! Faith is a lucky lady.

[@poguemom3]

Another amazing song in this similar vein is My List by Toby Keith. It’s a beautiful reminder to live each day as it could be our last. ❤

[@GrumpyOldGuyPlaysGames]

Back in April, I went into the hospital thinking I'd contracted pneumonia. Turns out I was in total heart failure and needed a transplant. Here is it September and I am still recovering, but I've also reconnected with my kids, become the best friend my baby brothe always wanted, and told my ex-wife -- who is herself struggling with cancer right now -- that I still love her despite everything and while I know we don't work as a marrier couple, if she needs a friend I'm there. I've been taking advantage of living on the beach (I'm in Florida, on the Atlantic coast), and going to the zoo a lot, and enjoying the roller coasters at Disney I've never ridden. I came too close to dying to not give living a try.

[@jonelmer3518]

I am sorry for the news about your friend with breast cancer. I hope you don't mind that I felt compelled to pray for you and your friend. May God bless you both.

[@kevin-5641]

Just so you know, irregardless is a word. The Oxford English Dictionary traces it back to 1912.

I was fortunate enough to see Tim and Faith in concert and I had 5th row seats on Tim’s side. The view was amazing if you know what I mean 😉. Yes, Faith is a lucky woman. He’s only getting finer with age and I was a fan after Indian Outlaw 😂. 🥰🥵 is it getting hot in here? Seriously, I love this song.

[@vampfashions]

2 simple questions: If you knew that you were going to die in 72 hours, or 72 days, or 72 years, how will live each day, what will you do? Second, what's stopping you from living, really LIVING, and is the answer to that actually just an excuse that easier than living? Live each moment. Savour each breath. One day you will look back at all the life you didn't end up using.

[@jamesday9701]

Another Tim McGraw you should do a reaction video to is "If You're Reading This".

[@sueg3650]

Britt, I think you'd enjoy one of his lesser-known songs, called "Drugs or Jesus". Find the official video if you can...it adds atmosphere to the song...and you may want to check out the Wikipedia page for the story behind it. If you want a chuckle, listen to "Do You Want Fries With That?" Spoiler: It is not a happy man asking that question...🍟 Thanks for adding a smile to my day!

[@kimking6036]

For a real P.D.C song from Tim listen to Real Good Man 😊 Songs that are amazing with his wife are Let's Make Love, Speak To A Girl and It's Your Love

[@smalltownfamadventuresmore5109]

I lost my cousin *bestie* to cancer 5-27-14. She was only 24 yrs old. Her mom and dad have full custody of her 13 yr old daughter. Belle is just like her mama. She was 13 yr old and i was 15 yrs old when we became besties. She loved Tim McGraw. I lost my grandma 6-6-11. She was more like my mom. After i lost my cousin i lost it i fell into deep depression. Im stronger and smarter now. I have 2 daughters. My 13 yr old daughter and Lindseys 13 yr old daughter are best friends they remind me and lindsey.

A sweet older lady in my Bible study group just found out she has terminal gall bladder cancer that has spread. She has decided not to seek treatment because she’s incurable. Her attitude is so amazing. She says that she’ll just be here living and enjoying her family until Jesus calls her home. 🥹

[@williamthomas7509]

The words to this song are so true. In March 2018 just days before my birthday I learned I have a terminal disease, it's slow, but will cut my life short by 10 years or so. A few months later one of the best friends anyone could hope for was told she had 8-10 weeks, her sister and I managed with the help of a great doctor and meds to get four years. She never complained, sadly her health didn't allow her to live like she wanted. She told me two years before she passed that it was too late to see National Parks and other things she wanted. So, just after her passing her sister and I started planning a memorial road trip. This was so Joss could visit the places and do the trip they always wanted to do. As we prepped to sell their house and buy the RV Joss started coughing a lot. Doc said no worries just your allergies, but I told her I had never heard coughing like that with allergies. Six weeks later same answer from the Doc, and again 8 weeks or so later (early June '23). Last week of August we had gone on a short trip and only been at destination for 2 days when she woke up to blood in her urine. Called the Doc, advised to come in ASAP it was normally a 2+ day drive. I drove straight through. Over the next few days, a couple of tests indicated need for a specialist ... 6 months after the first time the Doc said allergies, the new Doc said it was cancers. The same exact ones that took Jaki from us. So, ladies make sure you talk to your Gynecologist and know the warning signs of Ovarian cancer. If it's not caught early is spreads and causes a secondary primary called peritoneal carcinomas (aggressive and deadly). Stage IV, incurable, one real chance to extend life with a brutal surgery that is nicknamed the mother of all surgeries. So everyone I can not urge you all strongly enough .... LIVE don't just exist, do the things you want and are passionate about, do not worry about chasing busy things and money over living and loving ... embrace life with passion and appreciate the incredible gift that it is. As always Britt a great reaction.

This was back in the 90's when I was growing up, so I could be wrong, but I seem to remember a bull named Fu Manchu on the Pro Bull Rider circuit who gored multiple riders and actually killed one of them. Again I could be wrong. I only watched PBR when nothing else was on. But I definitely remember watching at least one where a rider was gored by the bull, and they announced that he had died from his injuries.

I’ve worked in and around The Music Industry for the last quarter century, and that one still gets me every single time!

Update to my previous post, my friend Joss lost her battle in an unexpected turn in mid February she went to bed feeling good and in the morning I couldn't wake her. She had gotten some type of infection that turned septic overnight. Paramedics got here quick, I was a bit behind heading to the hospital halfway there they called asking about ventilator and cpr etc ... got there they stabilized her but were honest that it didn't look good. An hour later they came to me saying I had to decide vent with no realistic chance she would ever come off or to go palliative and let her go. To have to make that decision for someone you love, someone who just hours before told me she was so excited about our planned trip ... only to then have to make the decision ... I don't wish that on anyone. Live everyday like it may be your last and be sure to tell those you love how you feel.

[@dennisegrant5901]

Cancer is not as much as a death sentence these days! I have been cancer free 5 years after chemo, and radiation. I was able to work and go to the gym 5x a week during treatment. My sister didn't fare as well and was hospitalized for 6 months and she is in full remission now.

What a beautiful song that makes one to think about their lives and the ones they surround themselves with. Especially for those of us who are fortunate to be healthy and have this chance to say I love you; I forgive you and spend those precious moments with loved ones so once one of us is gone, the other will have that time spent to cherish and no regrets. I like that you besides the musician and the song, you have an eye also on the whole picture including what they are wearing. I remember how you loved Bobbie Gentry's look, clothing plus imitating her singing style. You put in so much input and visualization into your reactions. Growing up in a church household, and you mentioned some videos were not able to watch at home, were you allowed to state the good looks of people and your panty dropping club?

[@kevinenkler4905]

MLB pitcher Tug McGraw was in town to pitch and had a one night stand with Tug and never told him she got pregnant. Tim looked Tug up as an adult and Tug accepted him from the start. Tug died from cancer is this is Tim paying homage to his dad who he only got to know as an adult. Awesome!
