I grew up in the 70s and I mostly listen to classic rock but there are a few country singers I like. Waylon Jennings is my favorite but I really like George Jones too. This song is one of my favorite country songs

You are one of the few reactors that gets it. The song starts with "He said I'll love you till I die..." And he meant it

When i was a child and first heard this song I understood he died which is why he stopped loving her. When i asked my mom about the song and remember her telling me it was a prison song. I thought she meant he was actually in prison. Only now as an adult do I realize the "prison" was his love for her. On one hand it's hard to find love like that. When you do it should be treasured and treated with equal love. On the other hand it's also sad that his love for her was a "prison" that he could never escape from. Thank you for your reaction

I gotta say, you got it faster than most. I even have seen some reactors to this song listen to the whole thing and still not get it… often thinking he just got over her. The first and last line of the song sums the whole thing up… “He said I’ll love you till I die.” And “He stopped loving her today.” It’s a Harmonica btw

He was true to his word. He loved her until he died. Of course to quote another country song in the woman's favor, "You can lead a heart to love but you can't make it fall." She just couldn't love him the same way he loved her.

Mister George Jones sings it with such great emotion.....you can feel the way he loved her, you can visualize the moments described.... dressed up to go away... placed a wreath upon his door... soon they'll carry him away...she came to see him one last time..... Just incredible imagery used in the lyrics. Good reaction. God bless you and all here!
@cathymerchant9768 Жыл бұрын
You got it before most reactors do. Many get that the man died when he sings "they'll carry him away" and a few do with the line about the wreath upon his door. But not many do right away when the chorus begins, and even fewer with the dressed up to go away. I do agree about the smile--if he was already dead when his friend came to visit, the mortician wouldn't have him smiling for a wake/visitation/viewing. The ambiguity in the song for me has always been in that line. Did the guy die of natural causes (cancer) and felt relieved because he knew the end was near when the friend visited? or was he happy because he had decided that was going to be THE day, and he had invited his friend over for a final goodbye; after the friend left, did he take out those love letters, set them on the night stand, and end his life?
