I CRIED LIKE A BABY... MY FIRST TIME REACTING TO CRAIG MORGAN "THE FATHER, MY SON, & THE HOLY GHOST"

[@jimwhite3719]

A back story to this...after this performance he walked off stage and Ricky Skaggs said it was a great performance and Craig told him he was glad he liked it because he would never be able to sing that song live again. Ricky told him he had to sing it...that people needed to hear it...and he took that to heart and has performed it live ever since.

[@glennkelley2307]

Came to say the same thing. Bless you

[@jamescrutchfield2251]

Ricky is right , thank you Craig.....

[@shawnmazyn7090]

He has another song called This ain't nothing that is a very special song. Please react to it when you have a chance.

[@bidwell13]

Then Blake Shelton posted it everywhere telling people to check it out. After Craig recorded it he sent it to Blake to get his opinion cause they’re real good friends.

[@chrismaraccini6706]

I can't believe I have never heard this song until today. I lost my 19 year old son to fentanyl 18 months ago. Then I lost my mind and nearly everything else since. No one seemed to understand why I seemed to be self-destructing. Now, thanks to Craig Morgan, I know that the loss of a child can not be understood by any that hasn't gone through it. God bless Mr Morgan for the courage to put this out. I finally have hope to move forward.

[@jeffdetmer4681]

Britt. A little about Craig. He served in the US Army for 17 years. I believe the last 7 or 8 as a combat medic. When he got out he did a number of different jobs to support his family, and finally got to a place where he felt his music could be what he did full time. He has done very well for himself in that regard. As to the kind of guy he is, one day he was driving home and happened upon a house fire. The Fire Dept. hadn't gotten there yet and he stopped to see if he could help. He was told there were people inside still, and he went in and carried out 2 (My memory is that they were kids, but not certain). Then when the FD arrived he pulled a hoseline and helped put out the fire. He and his family own a lake house. Kind of a getaway place. Well his son, who was 19 at the time, had gone to the lake with a couple friends for a weekend. The day they were due to drive back to town they decided to spend a little time tubing before they left. Something happened during the tubing and his son drowned. He wrote the song because that is how songwriters deal with their feelings. After his performance on the Opry, he swore he could never do it again. With encouragement from Ricky Skaggs and Craig's buddy Blake Shelton he continued to perform it. You really should watch the video even if you don't react to it. For more of Craig's music you should try "That's what I love about Sunday" and also "This ain't nothing". Do yourself a favor Britt. Watch the videos. Peace right back at you.

[@robinmcintyre3472]

He is such a dear, genuine, kind man! Another song I'd like to add to the two great songs that you've listed by Craig is "Almost Home". It touches me in so many ways!

[@ericarandall6712]

He's a precious man. My favorite upbeat and fun song is "International Harvester"

[@christimecarmona6810]

Nice story did not know all of that about him!

[@StevenSimpson-dt7ck]

lol

[@marcluna3176]

His son hit his head on apart of his friends head or a specific part of his body that knocked his son unconscious and drowned but he hit his head on something... Craig speaks on it on the show with celebrities in the woods I'm sure u can find it by looking up Craig Morgan reality tv show in woods idk just a guess but it's a great show it plays the song and that's how I found out about everything

[@TexasMagnolia]

Craig’s son, Jerry age 19, died in a tubing accident. The chorus came to Craig in his sleep. He credits the Holy Ghost.

[@garylefevers]

I can definitely see why. It is such a powerful song. Like Tears in Heaven. There are not many songs dealing with this specific type of grief.

[@paulsutubification]

Damn

[@Bamabchgrl]

They adopted Jerry also

[@jamesday9701]

I came here to say that. Thank you.

[@aletmartins6940]

My husband died when he was 46. I was 41 and our sons 18 and 9. Nine years later my oldest son died, so our family was half of what it used to be. You absentmindedly set the table for all sometimes, or buy their favorite snacks while grocery shopping. Even after all this time one gets transported back to relive the loss. Not every day, but during a song like this, or randomly. My son wrote beautiful lyrics when he was about 35 or so, about his experience as a 9 and 18 yr old… being told.

[@DonaldFerriere]

[@TROLLINDOWNTHELANE1]

I don't know how you can sing while you are that emotional. It has to be a gift.

[@karencole1037]

I sobbed when I heard this, and still do every time I hear it. Yet I still listen because I feel if he can put the emotion into this true story, I can help carry the burden with him, even though he has no clue I do.

[@StevenW3644]

I’ve watched a lot of people that review all types of songs. You fine lady really get & understand peoples voices into happiness and joy or story telling and you always give great words to describe and you felt this. I’m maybe not a fan of country but this got me. Thank you for putting this on cause I would have never heard or watched. As a parent my kids will always be my kids and thank the lord I still have them and love.

[@crashwalker1478]

As a father who has lost a son, this song tears me up every time. Beautiful reaction.

[@JinxDClown]

sorry for your loss. I can't even imagine!

[@jimmoore2838]

I'm so sorry for your huge loss

[@TeeDeeTD]

Just an unbelievable performance. Amazing and heartfelt song. Excellent tribute to his son… such a sad song but it carries on that legacy. Craig Morgan is awesome! Also recommend “How You Make a Man” by him.

[@michelleshaw54]

I lost my daughter 12-29-22 and this song has been a blessing to me. It makes me believe that I am not the only going through the pain of losing your child. This song makes me think I may get through it. Your reaction was pure and I really appreciate it. Thank you.

[@blakeshedd5354]

This did actually happen to him. This song is incredibly hard for him to perform.

[@WolvenHeart1]

I lost my brother in 1990. He was 20 at that time. I saw the pain my parents went through. My pops would suffer dementia later on in life, but up until the end, when he saw one of us kids, "Are you ok?". My dad was always close to us, but I think after Jeff was killed, this protection went even deeper. Even as dementia was claiming his mind, the one thing it held on to was his kids being ok. In the song, it shows the mom even more distraught, same happened to my mom who is 90, tough old farm girl still drives, tends her flower beds. Talks to us kids daily. She had a support group at church and us to help her through it, but, until this day 32 years later he has a hard time looking at Jeff's picture. Dad was the king of the castle, but mom rules it . This song brings me back to the day my brother was killed in that car accident on Sept 02, 1990. Beautiful song.

[@JinxDClown]

You should watch him perform this live on the Kelly Clarkston show...He actually kinda breaks down at the end.....so powerful and heart wrenching

[@paanne1013]

Wow, that was like being punched in the gut listening to him sing that song. How he gets that out and doesn't break down crying is beyond me. That was beautiful.

[@pamagnolia]

This tears me up every time I hear this. It is true. He lost his son. 😢🙏

[@chrisplunkett8369]

Thanks so much for this reaction. I grew up with him & his family such an awesome family. He lost his son to a lake accident and it's so hard for him to perform this song. 😢 again thanks girl!!! ❤️❤️#creeksquad

Powerful. In tears. First time hearing this song. Thanks for the very authentic and heartfelt reaction!! May God richly bless you Britt.

[@royperkins9176]

Thank you for reacting to his beautiful song about his deep loss. I recommend you watch the video, probably privately, for your own appreciation of this emotional work of Art. May those suffering from loss find comfort, solace and healing 🙏

[@davidbilliter5619]

The strength it took Craig to stand up and sing that song is incredible. His son passed and it crushed this man not long before this appearance . I can't watch it without breaking down . I can't fathom the strength it took

[@ryderaunlein3457]

Beautifully-expressed reaction Britt. In fact, the most powerfully honest reaction I've seen. Music has such power to evoke any and all human emotion, and never any more so than when the artist is telling their own story., and it's a sad one. I'm very impressed that, without knowing in advance that this man was doing just that, you were able to feel the rawness and confidently assert that we're listening to a true first person story. Btw, tears are a beautiful reaction when they're caused by heartfelt emotion. Love your work. x

[@JenniferSnider73]

Thank you for reacting to this. My 22 y/o son took his life and I'll never be whole again, but this song, I envy him for his trust and faith in the Lord!

[@maryannturton9830]

Jennifer,I am so incredibly sorry for your loss.My brother was hit by a car and killed when he was 13.My father has been so angry with God,and it's been 50 years ago.As a mom I can't imagine your pain.We want God to fix it.The thing is,though,that He created us with free will.That's why it's so hard to understand somebody else's choices,ugh...God loves you so much,and I pray that you can lean in on Him and get gradual healing.Like this song says,I won't completely heal till I go home.

[@daleb1279]

Craig has written so many heartfelt songs and they have depth. Let him take you to church with a more upbeat song, What I Love About Sunday. If you want to cry again, watch the Grand Ole Opry performance with Craig Morgan and Jelly Roll singing Craig's song Almost Home as a duet.

[@shilohwillis]

Thank you for your words. This is the actual1st performance of this song and it was supposed to be the last. He didn't feel strong enough to keep doing it. His friends in country music plead with him to record it for those who've had a loss. Thank God he did.

[@christopherking4932]

I can't believe he can sing this song without breaking.

[@tinagoff3573]

I just came across your channel and I’m so glad I did. Your reaction was real and you are absolutely beautiful. This song is definitely difficult to get through without being moved to tears. It’s a reminder to not take anything for granted and treasure those we love while we have them in our lives. I’ll definitely be watching more of your reactions. ❤❤

[@cpenn2244]

The most beautifully, sad, tragic song. So beautiful. God bless Craig Morgan.

[@cinemacodey]

Im bawling my eyes out, ugly crying watching your reaction. Just watched your other reaction where you shared about your sister passing. I lost my younger brother when he was 20 and I was 22 in a motorcycle accident. Worst thing that ever happened in my life and even though I'm 33 now it feels like it wasn't that long ago. This song makes me think of my brother and every time I listen to it I grieve along with Craig. This is probably the most powerful, emotional, real, grieving a loved one songs out there. Other songs that remind me of my brother are "Say Something" A Great Big World & Christina Aguilera, "I Drive Your Truck" Lee Brice, "Who You'd Be Today" Kenny Chesney, and "See You There" Joey Feek of Joey + Rory, very sad story behind that song. Joey is singing the song about the loss of her brother (same name as my brother, Justin) in a car accident in 1994 but then later she too passed away in 2016 from a battle with cervical cancer.

[@memmie1104]

You are so right. You can feel his grief and agonizing pain over the loss of his son. He's only sang it publicly a few times because it takes everything in him to sing it and get through it without puking or passing out. He talks about it in an interview. His heart was racing like crazy just talking about it in the interview. I know his pain because our 14 year old granddaughter died two years ago. I still can't take about her without my heart racing and my throat closing up because of the knot in it. Blessings!

[@cog4life]

Craig Morgan (earlier) That’s what I love about Sunday”

[@DDD-dt4zc]

Whew Britt..this one hits so deep. My son and I lost his mom when he was 3. I grieved, he grieved, my family grieved, but nobody grieved as hard and as long as her mother. The fact that Craig can grt through this song in this performance just shows his son was right there with him holding him up. Also Im sorry to hear about your sibling. I hope your family found peace eventually.

[@bgfree1965]

It’s a true story. Son killed in a boating accident. He’s so humbled while singing this song.

[@elizabethseals2001]

It took so much strength for him to sing that song. I can't imagine the pain he went through. I'm unable to have children, but i can't even begin to imagine going through something like that.

[@carriemaybrun1904]

The best of music, the best of country - and the most authetic performance - just so incredible

Thank you for your reaction. This is what people are looking for, a real emotional reaction. As a Father who has lost a child, this is important.

[@susieq1565]

I've seen the official video but the most poignant version to me is his performance on the Kelly Clarkson Show. Blake Shelton and Ricky Skaggs played a huge role in helping Craig to take this song to the top. I truly believe this song helps people heal. ❤

[@KevinBlankenship-p6m]

Craig has another great song, "Almost Home" that will get you right in the feels!!

As a father that lost a son in 2001 when he was 16 1/2 to an auto accident I can certainty relate to the song and Craig's loss. After 22 years I still grieve and wear the pain like a heavy coat... we should never out live our children. On my bad days I listen to this song (and others) and know, unfortunately, that he and I share something in common. But I know without a shadow of a doubt that I will see my son again one day... because of our faith and trust in Christ. I think your reaction to this song was absolutely beautiful and very touching... thank you!

[@Jdwray12]

I tear up every time I hear this song. I came close to losing my son when he was 2 and 18 years later I still have nightmares. I can't imagine how people deal with the loss of a child.

[@trentupchurch5414]

Brit this one hit me hard. I do appreciate this. I'm pretty sure this is the first time I've heard this song. I too watched my parents go through losing a child. I was the oldest of 3. I was 11 when we lost the 7yr old baby. My folks were living in a backslidden condition with their relationship with God. With her passing the only thing that kept them going was the promise of seeing her again. I watched my folks get on fire for God and have been devoted to service for over 40 years now. My dad is a singer but not a song writer. He did write one similar to this but only was able to sing it twice. He said he could never sing it again. From my perspective watching my parents cope I can't imagine how a lost parent handles the pain. Praise the Lord for strength and mercy. Bless you and your channel
