MY COACH FORCED ME TO REACT TO Brooks & Dunn - Believe (Official Video)

[@andonedave]

I’m 51 years old. This wouldn’t have been an unusual friendship back in the day. Especially in small town America. People are people and neighbors are neighbors. That’s the world I grew up in.

[@DaTo-k1o]

It's not that unusual now. I was 45 when my wife got cancer and died 5 years later. The most wonderful, Godly, elderly black woman (I'm so white I'm almost blue) friend across the street was the best friend I could have ever asked for.

I saw a old black man every morning at the bus stop going to school. He told me that my life was mine and it was up to me how I lived it. I'll never forget him. I'm 52 now, and I'll always be grateful to him.

[@stephanietip]

Actually a true story from his childhood. That wonderful old man existed

[@itsratedruth7331]

Oh well that’s wonderful to know makes the story that much better

[@victoriapowell6318]

I think the friendship is something that happened in BOTH of their lives because they BOTH needed each other.

[@itsratedruth7331]

I agree 100 percent glad the young boy never forgot about the old man when he went off to college and visited him in his early adulthood life

[@wendyparker1986]

I grew up in this time, and it was normal for people of different races to become friends.

[@jarrodmarshall1834]

​@wendyparker1986 Same. Back then, things were seemingly getting better racially. Not ideal by any means but certainly making a turn for the better. I hate how we've taken so many steps backwards. I just don't understand how this happened.

I'm only 35 sir and I'd heard this song as a 4 year old id listened to for the first time when my papa passed as a kid when I was 6 I hadn't listened to it until just two days ago I started thinking about my papa I got to say it broke me to my core

[@steverey8362]

Can I just say; I'm a 55 YO white man and not one day in my life was it frowned upon to be friends or even date outside my race. I know that it sometimes seems that the racial divide was always horrible. Truth be told we were solving problems and coming together until those who made big bucks to push racial division got so good at their jobs.

[@tracienielson7183]

Ronny Dunn actually based this song on real life experience. It's not just a story.

This song, though emotional is not sad, but victory. I love it.

[@spll3906]

A strong bond with a older man as A boy is very important especially if he is a good man. Great song great reaction, country is not my fav music but a song like this makes me stop and listen.

[@LindaLittle-m7j]

This is a true story that Dunn experienceed growing up ❤

[@cathiechaos6940]

Firstly, you look absolutely beautiful. I love your country reactions. It's wonderful to watch a young person feel the story. As you get older...like me...faith is what will help you navigate this crazy world we live in. Stay true to yourself. Sending you blessings, peace and good vibes. Xo

[@beckycottrellbabazam3]

The first time I saw this I cried, their friendship is something the boy will have with him forever. I know this is a true story. The guy singing was the little boy🙏

[@BOOMNERD51]

Especially because he passed this faith on to the boy who listened and responded to every word.

[@jasonsomething6003]

Can't see the forest because of the trees.. type of reaction. There's a lot more to the truth then many young people consider and RESPECT! Songs such as this REQUIRES people to do soul searching for a heartfelt connection that makes sense! Loved the reaction.... please do more! peace

[@ringmaster_spyke]

I was sitting on the back porch with my Dad the first time I heard this song. He told me that this song brought him cold chills and he loved it. Less than a year later my father passed away from cancer. This was the song I chose to be played at his funeral.

[@johnlwhite6848]

I’m 72 YO white man and when I was a baby of 3-6 my mom and dad both worked and we had a black lady as a maid and l loved her so much when we heard that she had passed l cried for days even though I was 37 I served in Vietnam in the Marines and black people l served with were my brothers. I despise prejudice people no matter what color

[@glennvanzandt2394]

Young lady, that was a very insightful reaction. Your observation that this friendship took place when things were much different was spot on.

[@itsratedruth7331]

Yes I realized that the setting for the video was probably before I the 2000s and immediately found their relationship strange but beautiful because they looked past what some at that time didn’t

[@Lunzatis_Palemoon]

​@@itsratedruth7331 Things were very different back then but in a different way than you are thinking. Things weren't so interconnected and news and other things weren't instant. The instant gratification of today's society wasn't there back then. People also got along better, overall, back then compared to today. Social Media and instant gratification has really made things far worse.

[@crankyyankee7290]

I've been very fortunate as I have had several of those people in my life over the years-in fact thinking about it, there have been many, -find a few,they are out there-the stories, and wisdom they can impart is amazing,it's the quiet and thoughtful ones you need, not the loud, and brash as life taught them long ago that the more you learn, the more you know how much you yet need to learn. We are all issued our ticket to the other side, and it gets punched at birth, the adventure is seeing where the journey will lead, and what we will learn along the way-every day we are granted on the way can be a blessing, but it's up to us to make it so-I think from what I see here you will have a great trip !

His name is Ronnie Rice I honestly dont know how old he is i know hes been an old man for the 28 years that ive known him. Your right i might have the facts messed up as him being in the war but he was stationed in Korea In the late 50's around the end of the korean conflict yes we officially stopped the war in 53 but we still had military prescence in the area But I dont need you to tell me my old friend is not a veteran that he surely is.

It hits you in your "feels" and your entire demeanor changed when you realized what the end of the song was going to be about, and it definitely hit you in your feels! Great reaction, and I am now a subscriber to your channel and look forward to your next review!

[@ThomasConnaughton-d6j]

It's actually a story from Ronnie Dunn's past growing up

[@timhmetal3499]

I grew up in the deep south. Race wasn't a conversation. I ate, lived, worked with many races without a second thought. I was equally welcomed in their homes as well. It's today's culture bringing back racism. I still talk to all my childhood friends and shake our heads about the "powers that be" tying to divide the country with lies and subterfuge. We are ALL God's children, equally.

[@itsratedruth7331]

I grew up in the south of Texas. As a child I experienced racism that at the time I didn’t even realize was racism. I was unintentionally ignorant but have learned that racism did exist heavily in the south during the 20th century up until now. However now that I’m mature I have decided to not let one time experiences over shadow my feelings on an entire race or ethnicity.

[@therockbiter8140]

This song reminds me of my "Mr. Wriggly", His name was Mr. Levi, he worked on my great grandparent's land as a sharecropper as a young man, raising cattle and farming and taking care of it as it was his own because it was. When my great grand parents died they left the majority of it to his family. He lived to be about 96, outlasting my great grandparents and grandparents. He was like a great grandfather to me, always one of the smartest and funniest and wise people I ever knew. I still miss spending time with him fishing my pond and picking his brain, talking about nothing, and everything.

[@mclovinemfj]

This song is how humanity can be without the BS from MSM & social media influences. Just good conversations with Ole man Wrigley

I want to tell you about my friend Mr. Roberts, "a black man" who passed away when I was very young, perhaps 8. He owned the big farm house and rental cottages at the end the road that I grew up on, in a tourist town in OOB, Maine. We were a big family. He was always so kind to us and loved us children coming around to bother him. My great-grandparents , grandparents and Mr. Roberts were friends. My grandparents told me they had been friends with Louis Armstrong. My grandfather also said he knew other famous people like Bette Davis. (all of this happened around WW II). As far as I know, Mr. Armstrong stayed at Mr. Robert's rental cottages when he played at the venues near where we lived My grandfather told me he, Mr. Roberts and Mr. Armstrong went to bars that would have them many times to have beers and play cards. I swear I am telling you what everyone I know said is true. I never met Louis Armstrong or Bette Davis to ask them about it. being only 60

Brooks and Dunn were THE dominant country duo in the nineties and into the 2000's until they split up... They are back together now, and are touring again... Kix Brooks, the other half of the duo, usually sings backup, but does lead on some songs... Thank you to Pete Potaczek for pointing out that part of this post, about this song being based on a true story, is not true... I had read it in an article awhile back, but now, I can not find it, or any other source that backs it up, so I deleted that part of the post... I had also phrased it poorly, saying it was a true story instead of BASED on a true story, which is what I had meant to say, but didn't... Like I said earlier, since I couldn't back it up, I deleted it. I left the part that is true. I apologize for my error, namely, not double checking my source as I usually do when I have any doubt. This one slipped by me.

[@petepotaczek5844]

This song was co written by Craig Wiseman and the story is not a true story. I know we all want it to be a lovely true story but it isn’t. This don’t diminish the story but, how you just manufacture a bs story such as this is ridiculous. Why would you comment this non truth?.Craig developed the basic concept of this song snd Ronnie finished it and called him back.

[@js3599]

@@petepotaczek5844 I did know that it was not written by Ronnie Dunn, I was trying to convey that he DID have a similar relationship when he was a kid, that helped him relate to the song... I had read that it was based on a true story in an article I had read awhile back, but now, I can't find it anywhere, after about a 15 minute search, which makes me doubt the validity as well now...

[@llGracell]

when i was growing up there was an elderly man and his wife that lived behind our house. George would come outside as school was letting out, and sit on his back stoop. My mom would let me go visit with him while she was making dinner. We would visit for about a 1/2 an hour, he would ask what i learned in school. And then share stories about when he was growing up. He once taught me how to fold a hand kerchief into the shape of a mouse... something they did when he was young because store bought toys were just too expensive for most families back then. It was just a little time out of his day but it was something i looked forward to. It's not really like that anymore... people don't have time for others and no one seems to care about anyone like they used to.

Feeling it is the point. Music can raise you up, bring you down, or just calm you. But all of those emotions are things you need to be a complete person. Its how you get in touch with how you feel about life, love and the world around you. Don't pass up listening to music because it might make you feel sad. That doesn't mean you have to listen to it immediately, but don't completely pass it by either.

I had this relationship with a Black woman as a young child. Even later I skipped school, pretending to have a stomachache, because I knew she was coming over to the house. I loved that lady and she loved me. Race relationships were actually better back then. You're too young to remember. The recent hate and division has been stirred up on purpose so we'll fight each other instead of those in power who make our lives miserable. All of us together could force them to be what they are meant to be, servants of the people who elect them and pay them. But there are those who pay more and it's THEIR will that's followed. Their will is to enslave us all.

The most important point to me was, this old man lost his wife and son. That is more than enough to destroy a man. Many would have cursed a God who would let this happen. Many would begin to hate everything, everyone including his own cursed life. Many would have found some solace in a bottle of booze or packet of drugs. But not this old man. He believed. He believed there is more to life than this. He believed in God's mercy and that he would one day be with his wife and son again. He decided to keep on living. Do his best to love others anyway. Yes, even this young boy whom he shared his wisdom with. I believe, too. I believe he made the correct choice.
