My Dad passed when I was very young, and my Mom used to play this song over and over until she cried all the tears out. She missed my Dad so much. It hits me square in the heart to hear this song today, since Mom has gone on to be with Dad. I'm nearly 60 myself now, and some songs can reduce me to tears.

🥰 God-bless

[@Hobodeluxe960]

lost my wife of 41 yrs last summer and yeah some songs hit me like a ton of bricks still. "Into the Mystic" by Van Morrison being one of them.

[@christinalikoski4937]

@@Hobodeluxe960 Hi just wanted to say my condolence for last summer You must also remember 41yrs not many people pass 4years in a marriage You must have been a good man to your wife But I'm a big believer of the afterlife and we all meet again 🤩 I'm sure your wife would still wish for you to continue with life to your fullest while your still hear and don't think she isnt keeping an eye on you 🤭 Australia 💕 Christina

[@StarGeezerTim]

@@Hobodeluxe960 I am so very sorry for your loss, my friend. I just had a dear childhood friend lose his wife of 34+ years and his 30 year-old son on the same day. That's a shock that is unfathomable to most, and were it not for his deep faith I'm not sure how one would cope with it. "Into the Mystic" is another song that can evoke those feelings, you're absolutely right. I know it rings hollow without our loved ones here, but do have a Merry Christmas. I'm sure your wife would agree, let it be a day for happy Christmas memories and a day of hope for Christmases yet to come. God bless, friend!

[@stacymoore9836]

The year was 1968 and this song (Honey) was a number one hit for Bobby Goldsboro. A song about a widower reminiscing about his late beloved wife. And the fond memories of a short life they had together. Beautiful and heartfelt reaction by this lovely couple.

[@54nomore]

This was a monster hit back in 1968. It charted #1 on Billboard, Cash Box and Record World respectively. This was Bobby Goldsboro biggest hit and signature song. A widower reminiscing about the life he once had with his beloved late wife. And who is still being good after her death. No matter how crazy she might have seemed. Or how much empathy she had about the little things. Her husband loved her all the same. When she found out she had cancer and knew she did not have long to live. Is when he saw her crying in the middle of the day. To him he thought it was something over nothing. Later he realized why she was crying. And that little tree she planted when it was only a twig. Has grown a little because it wasn't long ago his Honey passed away. A true tearjerker.

[@mrsignguy1000]

And...it sold a million copies of those cute little 45 RPM records in only 3 weeks!!!

[@lindaeasley5606]

Yes. It reached #1 on the charts in all English speaking countries except UK ( #2) I don't believe most people can listen to it without a teardrop falling

[@gbh5912]

How can you state she had cancer? If you listen to all the emotional tidbits, it sounds much more like a suicidal, hippie wrist slicer??

[@jenniferlloyd9574]

@@gbh5912 Honey wasn't suicidal and they weren't hippies because the husband worked and they had a mortgage. Most wives stayed home in those days. Honey was tender-hearted, silly, gentle and sentimental. Angels come to take people experiencing unintentional deaths. I know they were making house payments because you don't plant trees at rentals.

[@jenniferlloyd9574]

The husband is "being's good" so that he can join Honey in Heaven someday. He knows she's in Heaven because Honey was just naturally good, but the husband has to work at being a good man. Like so many of us...

[@Cynthia2v]

A great example of how words matter, no profanity, just sweet melody and tenderness. What I miss most in todays music.

[@debbierhea5627]

I'm 66 and this still makes me cry, it always has.

[@timradde4328]

[@brockreynolds870]

This song was the #1 song of the year in 1968. The saddest part is that she died alone when he wasn't there. That line about the cloud passing overhead and crying down on teh flowerbed is one of the most beautiful an poetic lyrics ever written.

[@elaineen1]

So is "The angels came."

[@richardfalter3748]

Music from the 60s and 70s were the greatest songs ever written. They made you laugh , cry, smile and even think. They were beautiful times. I sm so happy that I got to experience the 60s.70s better times I sound like my dad sounded when he talked about the 40s and 50s

[@MissMom6]

Every time this song came on the radio, I bawled like a baby. I know Bobby Goldsboro sang other songs, but this is the one I remember him by.

[@barbarastrayhorn4667]

Me too. I was drawn to it but it broke me every time.

[@bofusnco]

I've heard this song for over 50 years and I STILL tear up every time I hear it

[@sheilagroupie219]

My mom passed when I was 8, going 50 yrs now. I always cry to this song. And she to was all alone when the Angel's came. Took me 40 plus years to forgive her family for that.

[@robinspawn7828]

I heard this song s a child and didn't fully understood the meaning. Now I'm 63 and I totally understand the meaning since I was married in May of 2010 and in Oct of 2010 my husband was killed. So this song has so much more meaning to me now. Cherish every day you have together. Love you both. ❤‍🩹❤‍🩹❤‍🩹

[@ednoponen2943]

Even now, at 78, this song made me cry. Unbelievable. Great reactin.

[@willattwood8303]

The man who wrote that song really experienced that in his life and you can tell its heartfelt Bobby had a great voice for those kinds of songs

[@danielfardella1622]

THAT song always touched me too, and it was so beautiful how he loved her. Every man with a wife like Honey can understand.

[@gbh5912]

Sorry for your loss

[@tonyginnetti5828]

As a music person (I was a professional musician/singer/songwriter/entertainer for 25 years with my three brothers) I have an in-born love for music - I'm talking about real, honest-to-goodness music! Ballads, rock and roll, country jazz, popular, r&b/soul.....most all genres of music contain good as well as bad music - I'm an appreciater of any music from any genre as long as it's good music. I know that everyone has their own interpretation and opinion of what's considered "good" but I know for me what good music is! This Bobby Goldsboro classic tear-jerker may be the saddest but loveliest song ever written........there's a fine line between manipulatively sad songs and heartfelt sad songs. It's all in the melody, arrangement and vocal delivery, and "Honey" has it all! I dare any man to listen to this song and think of his wife/girlfriend and not well up!

[@jamesgallegos1976]

I sing bobby goldsboro forever. His songs are strong, listen to his best hits. Thank you 2

[@ralphkern380]

I believe that is the first song y'all have ever reacted to that you played all the way through - no stops. It grabs me by the throat every time.

[@leandabee]

I was going to say that too 👍

[@rhondalamb7053]

Same here still

[@cynthiacowan8422]

My daddy loved this. If you heard it playing, best be quiet and still.

[@Cheryltwin2012]

This song was a HUGE hit in 1968 and catapulted Bobby Goldsboro to stardom. Tearjerkers were still very popular and it's easy to sese why it was such a big hit. Because of the Vietnam War I think a lot of people at the time could relate to having someone they loved die suddenly.

[@Constance8722]

Bobby Goldsboro had a unique voice and many hits. His delivery seemed to be aimed straight for "the common man." After all these decades, it's still impossible to listen to this one without some tears. "Watching Scotty Grow" would be great for you to react to, and it's a sweet, uplifting song.

[@dagmar.6954]

Bobby Goldsboro was an American pop & country singer-songwriter from the 60's-70's. "Honey" was his biggest hit but he had a lot of great songs including "See The Funny Little Clown", "Summer (The First Time)", "It's Too Late", "Little Things", "Too Many People", "With Pen In Hand", "Hello Summertime", "Watching Scotty Grow" etc. Some of his songs were performed by other artists such as Brenda Lee, Dolly Parton, John Denver.

[@maajorkv]

"Honey" along with "Little Things" are my favorites by Bobby.

[@happyhawaii0711]

And he is still alive !

[@shamillamajarali1563]

This song gives me goose bumps every time I hear it my favorite song ong what a beautiful voice may he live in our hearts❤ Rest in Peace ..Honey 😢😢😢 your music rock!❤

[@elaineen1]

You both reacted with appropriate emotion to a very descriptive and very sad song. To those of us who have had a similar loss it pierces the heart. I lost my beloved wife of 50 years some months ago and can relate. Thank you for the song and for your empathetic comments.

[@valogden]

I remember being a little girl around 6 sweeping the kitchen floor and this song came on the radio. I sat down and cried. I have loved this song ever since.

[@celiagraungaard1253]

I remember around the same age too. It really shook me, because I didn't really realize that young people could die.

[@gbh5912]

I love it also, but finally realized she probably OD'd It was easy to believe she had cancer, or .. but love story was two years later, lol and I think she had HIV But, though fictional Honey was a nut bag really, so an std would make sense totally because such untreated infections would cause unstable emotional behavior?

[@valogden]

Interesting theories but this was the early 60s. I just assumed she died never though of how. Hmmmm if not cancer then drugs?

[@gbh5912]

@@valogden Late 60s, but thing is if this young lady had a cancer that was so serious she just dropped dead, I highly doubt she'd be at home alone, driving a car, ect.. So, likely she cut her wrists or od'd Keeping in mind, drugs were everywhere then, lsd was still legal and often found for free and people also didn't know they were on drugs, women took diet pills like candy and that could flip anyone out?

[@LadyGator1983]

Shawn & Mel, This was my daddy’s song for my mama. My mama died in March 2018 and five months later my daddy died in August 2018. We played this song at his funeral!

[@michaelsullivan4213]

I lost honey 6 yrs ago to cancer. I miss her every day. It's so to continue with out her. One day soon I'll be with her.

[@markh.7650]

As you started your intro, you were CLEARLY not ready for what you were about to hear (I internally cringed for you). You were so upbeat and happy, not realizing what was about to befall you, which made the reaction that much more honest. It just shows us the power of music to make you FEEL something the artist is trying to convey. I grew up to Bobby on the record player, he was my mom's favorite and we had a bunch of 45s of his (and elvis of course).

[@gerardvansister6007]

As I said before, a beautiful song from 1968, the sixties and seventies were the decades of meaningful songs, regards Gerard, Melbourne, Australia.

[@juliebronkhorst639]

2am, driving home, my wife screamed STOP. She ran out and picked up someones pet Rabbit from the middle of the road...we had it for weeks while she found the owner. We played this at her funeral last year. We were married in 1984 and this song sums her up. Still miss you girl.

[@theresareynolds3133]

I'm watching Shawn's reaction and I can see his eyes glistening with tears, looking at Mel, like he's wondering what it would be like without her. It's one of those songs that make you wonder what would happen if you were to lose s husband, wife, life partner, I know I'd be lost without my husband.

[@gbh5912]

Then always prepare for tomorrow, why be dumbfounded if you lose your guide?

[@stevenklein3195]

Such a sad and emotional, but beautiful song. To everybody who lost a loved one, this song is for you. You need to do "Mr. Lonely "by him too. It chokes me up every time I hear it.

[@Tonyoh.]
