LITTLE TEXAS - What Might Have Been REACTION!

[@devindonovan5572]

My perspective of this song is that he is in a nursing home and grandma has passed away and he gets a second chance with his 1st love.

[@tedharvick9010]

Mine also

[@poguemom3]

Devin Donovan I agree. I’ve always loved the song, but I’d never seen the video.

[@berlyn3014]

That's what I've always thought

[@Venkman29]

I like that we have Billy so confused on this one.. I've never seen him so confused.. Its not even that hard to figure out either.. Yes retirement home, nursing home whatever you want to call it.. The Grandma had passed away and he just so happen ran across his old flame Clarise by chance.. I love singing along with this song.. I was hoping Billy would got around to doing this Little Texas song.. :)

[@touriewright5428]

Exactly Fate

[@Nitro1970]

Although I wouldn't want those photos out and displayed, I would never ask someone to get rid of them. Their life didn't start with me, and mine didn't begin with them. There is a reason they are with you now.

[@ccchannel2747]

perfect answer. I feel the same.

[@Kayla-ey3vt]

Absolutely

[@scarboroughjames7]

so true I would never ask a woman to get rid of pictures of ex boyfriends and I wouldn't get rid of any ex girlfriends pictures.

[@moondog9773]

Facebook changed that. They could reconnect ! Slippery slope just saying

[@attra91]

My ex got rid of my old girlfriends pictures.

[@jamiemiller7068]

This is my favorite Little Texas Song. So glad you got the chance to share it.

[@jenniecartier3917]

Mine too

[@ladylauraanne]

I love that you did this one!! It always made me think of a boy I dated when I was 15 years old..We lost touch and I always thought about him over the years. Flash forward 30 or so years and we found each other on Facebook and we got married last October. I was having a bad day today, my brother passed 2 weeks ago...seeing this brought a lot of happiness to me today. Thank you

[@aaroncoffman88]

Sorry for your loss. Glad you found your long lost love

[@kenspence2802]

If he hadn't married you, I would have just from that story.

[@36lats]

Condolences to your brother I lost my daughter in 2013 so yeah I'll pray for you ❤

[@Athletics510]

My wife still has a picture of her only boyfriend before we got together. Only reason why she still has it is because it’s the last picture of him before he committed suicide the next day. My wife and I were already together by then. They broke up mutually and they both wanted to just be friends. I became friends with him and we were close too. RIP Bobby-Mac I’ll never forget you bro. ✌️✌️✌️

[@loraharvey6740]

That's truly amazing. I'm so sorry for both of you having to loose him from your lives.

[@sportsbanter3885]

Sad story but kudos to you for being understanding...

[@denanebergall5514]

Maybe I'm just a hopeless romantic, but I have always LOVED this song!! I love the story in the song and video. You had that one true love, but it just never happened. You go on with life, meet someone else and have a family with them. Not to say you don't love the woman you married, but it's just not the same. And then at the end, once they've both led a full life... they find each other again. Oh the feels!! It's the same reason I love the movie The Age of Adaline. Similar storyline.

[@rodconner9079]

Good movie!!!

[@GaOutlawVinyl]

That look on your face at the end was priceless. You should check out their song First Time For Everything.

[@Venkman29]

That was really the best part of this video.. lol :) Never thought we'd have him stomped so badly..

[@melaniezirixa1239]

That it was. I was quietly laughing hard.

[@brianreasor433]

Great Little Texas song from the 90's, when country music was on fire with great artists and bands.

[@ethellittleage7000]

As long as we are on the same page with our relationship then jealousy has no place in our home

[@wyllia4]

After raising kids together for 18 years my husbands ex wife and I are, and have been, best friends since our kids were little. It was easier to be friends than put our kids through fighting and misery. So yes, we have pictures of people in our past relationships, we even spend Christmas together. ❤️

[@kencramer1697]

This song hits just about everyone. Most people have fond memories of their first loves. It is not uncommon to run into them again and it always seems to stir those feelings up from the past. But the message is clear, don't endanger what you have now in hope that this could be better. The video highlights the exceptions to the message. Finding that first love after years apart when you are both alone and getting to explore what might have been.

[@unitedurbanwarriorsociety8286]

This is one of my favorite songs. I spent -months traveling the western pacific. I was 18 in the navy and had a wild 7-day relationship with a 26-year-old Polynesian lady in Sydney Australia, she was from New Zealand. This song hits home. PS I do have photos from my past.

[@scottwalker3818]

Absolutely. If you love someone why would you want to erase their past

[@fitzgivesfits1]

The flashback with them dancing reminds me when Captain America went back to the past and danced with Agent Carter in the Endgame.

[@marshalljackson9796]

Absolutely. My wife threw away my pictures of the one that got away. They were hidden but she was digging and found them. I never forgave her for that. Your life doesn't start when you meet someone new. You should respect that.

[@tammymoseley1348]

I remember this song being played for a young up and coming talent in the racing world who died in an on-track incident in May of 2000. He was only 19, and the first fourth-generation competitor in any professional sport. For him it wasn't "the one that got away," it was "the life he didn't get to live," and it still brings a catch to my breath every time I hear it. That's the magic of a great song. The words can mean so many different things to so many different people.

[@nikwalters1029]

Love this reaction. Kinda makes me want to have you react to Life's a Dance by John Michael Montgomery or Unanswered Prayers by Garth Brooks though I know his gets blocked a lot. Being mid 30's and a product of a divorce that was made amicable because of me and my brother (though he wasn't biologically my Dad's as he was from a previous relationship, not that you could ever tell from how we were treated even after the divorce) I realize that mementos and contact with ex-partners are a case by case basis. If you can be strong enough to admit the mistakes on both sides and grow into better people, keep that proof close! We are all a sum of our experiences. Hope everyone is staying safe and relatively sane!

[@chrisariesb.5356]

Almost everyone has a past. Lots of reasons why there might have been one that got away. I think it's most important to be reasonable even when it's hard. Dating a widow is the hardest. But the heart has lots of love to give. They're both widowed....I am guessing. Lol

[@jakecarter9920]

That was my take of the video. I"ve heard this song hundreds of times, but this is the first I've even seen the video to go with it. It actually changed the way I think about it.

[@gracejenson]

90s country never gets old.

[@planojag595]

grace THIS ⬆️

[@starfire6122]

😂😂😂your expression at the end was priceless!!😂😂😂💞💞💞💞💞

[@carihenson8019]

Everyone has a past. My husband and I have been together since 2002 and there are still pictures of both of us in our albums with significant others. Our pasts shaped us, no reason to get bent out of shape over an inanimate object. 🤷🏻‍♀️

[@homefry707]

In my 40s now and we all have pictures of exes. No big deal, unless they’re holding the picture while singing sappy songs like this. 😉👍🏻

[@Courdorygirl]

pretty much what my husband and I had to say!

[@afry6400]

When I was in my 20s and 30s I had trouble with that idea. However at some point I realized I am the one here now. If it was a good memory then who am I to make someone feel bad for that. This world is so full of horrid things. Good memories are good things, even if I'm not related to some of them. As the song goes, that was then.

[@chrisbenson1991]

His wife passed away before finding the picture (it's implied when the little boy is talking about Grandma...)

[@Godlygirl38]

I love this band. This is my fav of their songs.

[@ashleighallegrucci2380]

I would never ask my BF to get rid of those pics. That’s part of who he is. He would never ask me to get rid of pics of my past. I think that’s selfish to ask you to forget your past.

[@caseyb4425]

My husband and I both fell in love with this song when it was first released. Him for his reasons, and me for reasons that do not involve him.... Our pasts make us who we are, good or bad.

[@johnblanks]

My friend wrote this song and was in Little Texas; you should see his heart when he sings this still!!

[@kathylutz948]

One of my favorite songs!! ❤️ this!

[@melanieleblanc4562]

There is always room for new and more love. Whether they have a picture or not, the love and memories are still there. And a picture doesn't change or ruin the love you have now.

[@elliceserpico711]

This was the first country song that gave me the feels. I have loved this song since it came out.

[@carmenmcknight1012]

Tim Rushlow, the lead singer of Little Texas, did a song called "I Can't Be Your Friend" that is really good.

[@willvelasquez7505]

One of my favorite i went thru it

[@MelanieCravens]

After Little Texas broke up, Tim Rushlow started another group with some of the guys from Little Texas and named it Rushlow. That was the group that did "I Can't Be Your Friend (Anymore)". It is another song that speaks to me.

[@kyliepollert8341]

@@MelanieCravens No, it was with 3 members who are now in Jason Aldean's touring band. Little Texas reformed without Tim and Brady Seals in 2004. Porter Howell takes over lead vocal duties for the band now.

[@marvieliss7]

We can look back fondly at the "might have been" because we didn't have a mortgage, kids, bills, and daily life stuff together. I feel the way you do about looking back on a past love, but everyone is human and does it whether the other one knows it or not. Sometimes, like the video portrays, we find ourselves widowed or divorced and can look back fondly.

[@chaoticdreamer523]

I love your expression at the end! Lol, this is a sweet song and everyone has one that got away.

[@TheTrueAngryElf]

In all my years of loving Little Texas and this particularly song, I've never seen the video. Such an amazing song, always makes me think of one person from my past I don't think I'll ever get over.

[@davidernst1354]

Everyone has a past. You cant or cant expect to wipe the past from existence. This does have that feel of the one that got away. Due to my own issues I pushed someone away that was very good for me and this song hits at that heart.

[@TexasMagnolia]

Such a great band. Thanks for the reaction! 90’s Country videos had the best concepts.

[@TheLorijean1971]

Absolutely okay, I’ve been married 23 yrs and , I know my husband had a life before me it’s memories and that’s okay , because in the end he chose me and I’m grateful everyday of our life together.. ❤️❤️

[@aarontodd72]

This is such a great song.glad to see more little texas

[@hiedibilliter3323]

This song used to remind me of my first love. We were highschool sweethearts. We found each other again last Jan 8th. We were married Feb 9th. And life is as amazing as we both always thought it would be if we never would have parted

[@helabelle4362]

I had no clue this was Little Texas. Added to my collection on pandora now.

[@planojag595]

Helabelle Since you liked this you might also like their song Amy’s Back in Austin.

[@lukebaer6258]

This song just really gets to me. I had the perfect woman and just let her go. 10 years later and I think about her everyday. Hope you're doing well Sandi and if you ever happen to read this I hope you're doing well and are happy.

[@courtneyvial3799]

This song is one of my favorites. Love your reactions!

[@gregorycanales5357]

Your past makes your future! Every choice you make shapes your future.

[@Nitro1970]

I like that, and believe it

[@n.m.s7552]

Thumbs up, thanks for reviewing country from this awesome era!!!

[@saremile]

One...Hes in a retirement home so "Grandma" probably has already passed....and Two I wouldn't get jealous over a picture or 2...i would get mad if they were rubbing it in my face but not in a box in the attic or somewhere else tucked away

[@aaroncoffman88]

I am guessing Grandpa hasn't in the nursing home long either because they said they found it while cleaning. Sounds like it was tucked away in some long lost corner of an attic or basement.

[@anthonygarrison4208]

Me to Bill I've heard this many times but the video ending surprised and shocked me as well

[@markcainyourfriendinthecar3387]

I had a girlfriend when i was younger. We met in 4th grade. Went together until 10th grade when she moved away and lost touch. Her name was Stacy Kimball. I'd love to reconnect with her some day.

[@melissasmith3820]

There's a great song by Joey+Rory called Teaching Me How To Love You. The lyrics are about the singer's earlier relationships and how they went wrong, but that each time, "they were teaching me how to love you." So each time you love and lose, you learn how to be a better partner. I love that song, and all the songs on their "His and Hers" CD. You could react to any song on it and I'd be happy.

[@IvannaBeSpanked]

hell ya they can have a picture, the past doesn't change.

[@571257personal]

we all have someone in our pass my husband has pictures and i do on our walls we both r widows i wouldnt want someone to stop loving someone because they die .this song reminds me of someone from 1980s and knowing hes happy is good .. no matter what my mom passed away 27 yrs ago i still love her ..

[@AriesFiyah]

You know those songs you'll always know the lyrics to? This is one for me. 💜💜

[@professionalvampire1]

I have no problem with anyone having a picture of a past love - an ex, a spouse who has now passed on, or as in this case, the "one who got away". Everybody has a lifetime's worth of memories, and the pictures are a part of that. Just because you loved someone before doesn't mean you don't love your current partner now.. That being said,, the only way it could possibly become a problem is if the person tries to use the picture to hurt their current partner. In that case, the picture should go - or perhaps that person shouldn't be trying to have a new relationship.

[@steveartinger966]

Memories on paper or in mind, history can't be erased no matter how you dispose of it.

[@meganreilly4776]

You know I never watched reaction videos ever I saw my brother watching reaction videos of video games and it was never really my thing and then I found your page a few years back and I'm hooked I have a group of reactors that I follow and I'm so glad! You're still my OG though I always come back to your videos so genuine, funny heart wrenching wether it's byss, bysc or byse I'm hear for it

[@genevaross1754]

You were a lost for words at that the end was you not Billy.Lol Love it,.

[@jennileebeavers]

Yes because that made them into the person that you feel in love with.

[@brianreasor433]

It's funny because you had the exact same reaction I did back in the 90's when it debuted and I watched it for the first time.

[@RinniePere]

Oh my gosh, I haven't heard this song in aaaaaaages!! I remember this one back in the day... perfect country break up, sad song. I am so glad you reacted to this! Keep up the awesome content. ❤

[@DMP12345]

100% yes on the question about having a picture. If having mementos from your past is a reason for jealousy or fighting than perhaps it is really other reasons behind the tension, not the picture.

[@scarboroughjames7]

The ending of this song really gets to me. I was in the Navy from Feb. of 1992 until Feb. of 1994 I met a girl in the Panama City Panama through shipmates of mine and friends of hers. We kept in touch for a while and I called her when I could. but she stopped writing me. I assume she is married. I loved her with all my heart. she is definitely the one that got away. The girl's first name that I knew her by was Jenny and Jenny if you ever read this I never stopped loving you and you will always hold a special place in my heart.

[@misfitmakeup1980]

This songs hits home for me in so many ways I love my significant other but theres always that lingering thought in my mind of how things woulda or coulda turned out if I had stayed with my high school love we got together in Jr high and stayed together till after high school with a break or too in between but I still love that man with every fiber of my being even though we have both moved on and have family's of our own

You're so dang funny! I was 😂. Don't change. I love your reactions. You keep it real and I am all.. about.. that! ♥️

[@jenm6836]

life is complicated Billy. Love your expression at the end when he noticed Clarice.

[@Katrina67482]

I think it's fine to have keepsakes of past relationships they helped form the person you love. Hell my husband is friends with some of his ex's on Facebook so am I it doesn't bother us because we're committed to each other and we're in love. Pretty sure grandma had passed before this.

[@Awetopsy1703]

love watching your reaction videos keep up the good work !!

[@DiamondRioFan1]

When I saw that you were reacting to this song, I thought there was going to be a BYSE moment at the end. My take on it is that Grandma is gone and he runs into her. Now the thing is you have to figure is that she is there to see someone else apparently. So there is no "guarantee" that they get back together at the end of the day. Your reactions never disappoint me. Don't worry about the people that say you talk too much. If they want to watch the video without the commentary, they can watch the "actual video" and not the REACTION!! Right? I'll catch ya down the road.

[@davidellis7786]

Hahaha I knew Billy so emotional was coming out! I was waiting for it lol

[@edwarddoddy2130]

Everyone has special memories that molded them and lead them in the direction they ended up, I wouldn’t ask my significant to erase those memories on my behalf

[@cowboycountry4870]

Everyone first true love hits different then later loves. Nowadays with technology it's different. Back then having a photo of a memory wasnt frowned upon

[@Warriorbob-im5py]

I took as they were digging in the attic and found grandpas ww2 army foot locker and found stuff he’d forgotten about and seeing that photo brought back alll those memories and feelings. Also, my grandpa has tattoos done when he was in the Air Corps of two women on his arms. When people asked my grandma if it made her made, she said no, he chose me.

[@inthedenwithgbear5776]

My Mom Dad and StepMom were all friends until the day my Mom passed away

[@trdavis9954]

One of the best songs and videos ever

[@justkiddingnotreally4865]

I was looking through past videos and i was surprised to find that billy has reacted to travis tritts anymore/tell me i was dreaming. If you guys love "billy you so emotional" we really gotta get him to watch both of those videos.

[@fitzgivesfits1]

First, we assume his wife passed. Second, Nick the grandfather can remember perfectly his moments with Clarisse 50 years prior. He does not belong in a retirement home.

[@donnasue2513]

Love your reaction at the end!😂

[@jeanettewilson264]

I think we all have that person who u wonder "What might've been?" I've seen this video a buncha times n I never realized the woman at the end was his girl!! Hey Billy you need to react to Daryl Singletary the note!!

[@janettameierotto7116]

billyyyyy!!!! i'm so glad you did this one. straight up used to listen to this and cry when i was 14 after me and my middle school boyfriend broke up 😂😂 no bullshit. I love little texas though.

“Speak My Mind” by The Willis Clan (about being abused by their father) “American Bad Dream” by Kane Brown (about the corruption in our society) “Learning” by Kane Brown (about learning to forgive and let go of the hurts and negativity of your past) “Guns, Bombs and Fortunes of Gold” by Griffin House (a powerful and thought provoking song) “Back When” by Tim McGraw (a fun tongue-in-cheek song)

[@MelanieCravens]

Billy, I've never seen you left speechless before! I knew you'd like this song and video. I love this song and the video always touches my heart. Though I do wonder what Clarice's family thinks of some random stranger walking up to her in the hallway and kissing her.

[@moore2life_2012]

Some of my dad's friends were my mom's ex-boyfriends. One walked me down the aisle after my dad passed away.

[@krystinyocum1382]

This was a conversation my mom and stepdad had about my former stepdad. He raised me and passed suddenly when I was 10. It was hard to put his pictures up but my mom understood that it was time and she was getting remarried.

[@randymolina6739]

Been on Furlough since last week Billy your keeping me sane my guy keep em Coming🙏

[@brandon0627]

BYSC look of shock at the end - Grandma is dead and Clarice is new grandma

[@willvelasquez7505]

The realist reaction I've seen pour emotion life goes on by l little texas is a up lifter

[@the_Real_Grammy_of_6]

OMG - your confused face - PRICELESS 🤣 I’ve never seen you so speechless 🤣 Grandma has passed. Grandpa is in a retirement home

[@thebluemarvel1111]

I love your reaction. Keep doing your thing

[@linkfromhyrule5504]

I've sang this song a few times at karaoke. My friends told me I'm a karaokeholic. Anyway, Tim Rushlow was the lead singer for Little Texas, before the band broke up. I recommend doing a reaction to his solo song, "SHE MISSES HIM". The song discusses Alzheimer's disease as seen from the perspective of a woman married to a victim of the illness.

[@antoniogarcia5081]

Try "Amy's Back In Austin, "First Time For Everything" "I'd Rather Miss You " or "You And Forever And Me" from Little Texas if you haven't already.

[@ness1860]

Poor Billy, you looked so very confused at the end. I agree with a few others that said he was in a nursing home and his wife has passed away and then he met Clarice again.

[@kyliepollert8341]

Little Texas had other country hits in the 90's, worth checking out. "Kick a Little", "Life Goes On" and "Amy's Back in Austin", to name a few; they're very reminiscent of The Eagles, in their sound and harmonies.

[@shauncougar9752]

I try not to think about what might have been cuz that was then We have taken different roads. 😔 always makes me cry 😭

[@egomaniac247]

OMG your face at the end lmfao I fell out my chair

[@ellenhunt8767]

Just be open about it... As you get older, if you lose someone and find someone else, it's really likely that they'll have had another love in their life. There's another old country song and I can't think of the actual title, but the chorus is 'I don't care if I'm not the first love you've known, long as I'll be the last.' Seems to be a good way to think :)

[@usbells1]

Everyone from your past makes you who you are. She is the past and Grandma was the present until she died. It’s all about trust.

[@jeremygildon9857]

I don't know if anyone else picks up on this but your facial expressions can say a million words. Lol

[@brookebaker6265]

Ummm... Okay. I've known the song for years. Just now watching the music video with Billy and his reaction at the end was mine! 😂

[@susanbrown303]

I think we all have a past and it makes us who we are and for that you have to respect it for what it is. And p.s I am in your age bracket. Much love from Texas 😍

[@raerae725]

They wouldn't be displayed, but I would never ask someone to erase their history. I have feel good memories from the past.
