Lee Ann Womack - I Hope You Dance (REACTION) First Time Hearing It

[@leslieoneal4464]

Yes, those are her actual daughters. ❤ I've loved this since it first came out. Such a beautiful song!

[@SaeedReacts.]

Thanks for letting me know! Amazing song!

[@seanscanlon9067]

@@SaeedReacts. The eldest girl, Aubrie Sellers is also the daughter of country singer Jason Sellers and although she was about nine years old then, she is 33 years old now and is a country singer herself. The background male vocals are by the band Sons of the Desert, made up of Scott Saunders, Doug Virden, Brian Westrum and brothers Tim and Drew Womack, although they are not related to Lee Ann.

Always brings tears to my eyes with that beautiful message and a mother's hope for her children. BEAUTIFUL!!!

[@jmrob1107]

Take chances, live your life to the fullest, don't be afraid...... DANCE!

[@SaeedReacts.]

100%

[@lt.spears1889]

The purity of this song, simply amazing.

[@RuthBair-ht1fj]

Beautiful song. Always your hope for your children/grandchildren. Thank you❤❤❤

[@larrywright3132]

The vocalists accompanying her are a band named Sons of the Desert, and they made a beautiful contribution to the song. They had a few hits of their own, as well.

[@kevinsharpjr]

The Sons of The Desert were the original singers of the song "Goodbye Earl " before the Chicks record it , you can find the Sons Of The Desert version on KZbin.

"to sit it out" is slang for choosing not to participate. So she is saying that when you have a choice to participate in life or not to, that you should go for it. It's not about people who are unable to walk or dance, but people who sit on the sidelines and watch other people do it.

[@SaeedReacts.]

I definitely got that, but i just included that part to say that if we are able to do it dont sit on the sidelines. And also go after your dreams.

[@katrinaprescott5911]

@@SaeedReacts. Sorry, I just wanted to make sure you didn't miss anything because of an idiom. Your English is excellent (far better than my French or German) but idioms can be tricky. I apologize if I implied any criticism of your language skills.

[@jjfurbable]

This song is so beautifully written and her voice is amazing. Glad you heard it.

[@SaeedReacts.]

Love it! Thanks so much for watching.

[@valkyrie1066]

❤❤❤❤❤❤ deeply felt by parents. This is what unconditional love sounds like.

[@threekidzmom04]

Such a beautiful song! Almost brings me to tears! I raised three children and I hope they keep dancing!

[@rouguy1972]

Gorgeous ❤

[@brendaclark8344]

Her daughters are both singers and sometime tour with Lee Ann. There is a video on KZbin of them performing together.

[@creinicke1000]

One of my favorite songs.. As a mom and grandma I feel this way for all my children.

[@faydriahenderson9392]

Same here.

[@josephcox736]

The poet Maya Angelou quoted these lyrics in one of her last interviews as being very inspirational

[@susanengland3919]

If you look closely you'll see that both of the girls inherited their mother's beautiful crystal blue eyes.

[@deepbluehue3]

🔱Many people have covered this song ; it's SO well written ... THIS is a good one !🔱

[@SaeedReacts.]

Incredible writing and great song. Glad i discovered it!

[@snowbabygirlpriv]

Everytime I watch the music video or listen to the song I start to cry like a baby because this song reminds of my furbaby spike

[@pattymckitrick7436]

❤I had the pleasure of hearing her live about 25 years ago here in Florida, along with George Strait, Tim McGraw, Faith Hill (she was pregnant then, and brought their first daughter Gracie, on stage) and a few others. LeAnn is a wonderful singer.😊

[@SaeedReacts.]

Wow! That is amazing!

[@loveloochay]

🌬️ .... So nice .... I love this song and Lee Ann's voice. This song will live on forever, the message will always be one to lean on. 👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏

[@randallshuck2976]

She is the original artist on this song. It has been covered by a bunch of artists, but this is her song and those are her girls.

[@jmiltier-pu9dd]

yes...gladys knight does an awesome version

[@Turnermama]

When this song came out it was a popular song for the father daughter dance at weddings.

[@SaeedReacts.]

Beautiful!

"Time is a wheel in constant motion Always, rolling us along Tell me who wants to look back on their years and wonder where those years have gone. " - Male Vocals in the chorus

[@attorneycarissa]

I was pregnant with my first child when this came out. I used to put my hand on my belly and sing this like a prayer for him. ❤

[@artiepavlov6022]

My ex's favorite song. He introduced it to me. I still have a soft spot in my heart for it.

[@SaeedReacts.]

Hope i didnt stir up any old feelings. It is a great song! Take care, my friend!

[@raymondjohnson2616]

The music video features Lee Ann Womack singing the song to her daughters.

[@deborahvernarelli6394]

What a beautiful way to send a message of hope and not giving up on your faith. I loved this song when it came out, and I still do. That baby just melts your heart, doesn't she 😊. They are her beautiful children, just like their momma. Thank you for reacting g to LeeAnn, Saeed. Much love to you and your family ❤️ 🫂.

[@SaeedReacts.]

Beautiful song and video. Thanks so much for watching, Debbie! Much love to you and your family!

[@davephillips7209]

Yep her children. What a profoundly lyrical song sung beautifully.

[@SaeedReacts.]

Thanks for letting me know! Beautiful song!

[@twilight79010]

Such a great song. I haven't thought about this one in awhile. Great choice!

[@SaeedReacts.]

Amazing song! So uplifting! Thanks for watching.

[@arliemoses4272]

She has a hilarious song that goes the opposite direction called, I’ll Think of a Reason Later.

[@auditingtn5696]

When my health started declining, I told my sons this song conveys the advice/guidance I wanted to give them. Things are better now and I need to take some of my own advice.

[@SaeedReacts.]

Hope you are doing better now!

[@edwinbarnett9032]

Love Lee Ann Womack

[@hackermusic3355]

Great message in that song.

[@Koma_Texeld]

I liked it, and the same thing happened to me, the chorus sounded familiar too. Pretty song, voice and blue eyes 😃. Sending you good vibes 👋 P.S.: Don't work too much this weekend, I always tell you the same thing but you don't mind me a lot 😉😅

[@SaeedReacts.]

Great song! I try to take it easy on the weekends. Usually my video's are pre-scheduled. Only if a lot of requests come i record video's in the weekend to not get a big backlog. 😃 I wish you a great weekend!

[@rubroken]

It's a beautiful song, beautiful video, and it really tugs on your heart(even as someone who is a non dancer)

[@raspberryswirl375]

The harmony at the end gets me every time..."Who wants to look back on their years and wonder where those years have gone?" 😭 They go so fast! This is pretty cheesy, but before we go to sleep each night my husband and I thank each other for what they did for us and express our gratitude for everything we have. We don't have a luxurious life, but we have a home full of love with the two of us and our cat, and I am thankful every day for that. Thank you for reacting to this song! It really makes one reflect on the choices we have in front of us, and remind us that life is short and we should live it to the fullest. ❤

[@SaeedReacts.]

Such an amazing song. Thanks for sharing that. That is beautiful!

[@daleenengelbrecht4861]

I so love love this song. Never heard her name though. So thankful for your channel. TX Saeed. Greetings from South Africa

[@SaeedReacts.]

Amazing song! Definitely one i will be listening to more often. Thanks for watching. Greetings from Belgium.

What a beautiful song 👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻

[@Leah-cn5cu]

Yes those are her girls, great song and video, I have a list of song I made for both my grandaughters in their memory book and this is top song listed.

[@MoniCharli677]

Still brings tears after all these years🩷Love my baby girl! Great reaction as always 🎉🎉🎧☮️🩵

[@SaeedReacts.]

Amazing song! Because of this reaction, i went out for a walk at the beach yesterday.

[@garyhiggins5823]

Love this song. Lee Ann has a beautiful voice. It evokes hope for the future but also nostalgic at the same time. If you get the chance, check out Gladys Knight's version.

[@LeahJo13]

Saeed!!! THANK YOU for reacting to this! I recommended it recently but I'm sure I'm not the only one. I just LOVE this song and I started to cry when I saw you posted this video. Cried happy tears all the way through. It's a special, special song to me and my daughters. And yes, the two young girls in the video are Lee Ann's daughters. Saeed, do you have a P.O. Box? I would really like to send your daughter the I Hope You Dance book. I see you have an email address. I can email you if you are open to the gift. Thanks again, Saeed!

[@SaeedReacts.]

Thanks for recommending it. I was inspired by the line: "I hope you still feel small when you stand beside the ocean" I shared some pics on my patreon and the following caption. So i decided to take my daily walk here today at the beach by the North Sea. High season is over so most tourists are gone now and it is very peaceful here today. A soft breeze carries salty flavours and i the corners of my mouth forming a smile. I sat down to meditate for a while and felt a tremendous amount of gratitude. Being able to see this vast amount of water, hearing the waves that almost sound as they are the breath of the earth pulling sand and the secrets of many wanderers like myself back into the deep. With closed eyes, I feel the gentle wind on my skin, making waves in my own hair, and I remember-it’s important to take a pause. I do not currently have a P.O. box, but you can always reach out via mail. Have a wonderful day!

[@LeahJo13]

​@@SaeedReacts. The words you wrote are beautiful Saeed! Thanks for sharing. I will try to find your Patreon. I've never visited that app or site or whatever it's called. I will reach out by email. Thank you for being such a lovely person.

[@DolaPrice]

Yes! Take a chance and dance!

[@marcieharreld286]

This is the song you send your daughters out into the world with....and Lynard Skynyrd's "Simple Man" is what you send your son's out into the world with!!!🎵🎼🎶💜💜💜

[@SaeedReacts.]

Yes! Exactly!

[@network_king]

Older song like this i actually found by accident like 10 years ago from a TV ad was "fight song", i was working on trying to get a cert for a job and struggling with parts of it. Never thought would use that part, had a few times i had to use and actually ended up figuring out some useful techniques that were more a side effect of knowing this. This type song now makes me think of my last 5 years going from horses being one of my biggest fears to doing riding lesson for 5 years and being able to ride fast, patterns, prepwork, etc. Started I figured try once atleast just say i tried and atleast have a real reason not to like, but I've pretty much fallen in love with them.

[@boroblueyes]

I also think this song goes together with "I Wanted You to Know" by Brooke Ramel.

[@SaeedReacts.]

Dont think i have heard that one. Will add it to my list.

[@shakykneezz]

I'm new here, I've seen you react to some powerful country women but I have not seen Reba McEntire's Fancy? Am I mistaken? Can it be true?

[@SaeedReacts.]

I have. The video sould be in the Reba McEntire reactions playlist. Thanks for being here!
