Many of the comments here are beautiful. Thank you for uplifting me here on the last day of 2023.

[@seanscanlon9067]

Haunting - affecting, emotive, evocative, expressive, moving and touching. I am from London UK and a big fan of Garth Brooks and got into his music due to him covering a song called Shameless by Billy Joel, because I am a fan of his too. This then led to hearing the voice during harmony vocals by Trisha Yearwood on Garth's version of Shameless (they are married now) and so I looked into Trisha's music too and she has an outstanding voice. And as a final tie in, all of Billy, Garth and Trisha have recoded versions of Bob Dylan's song To Make You Feel My Love.

[@TedC5203]

Slight correction. Last day of 2022.

I wish you and your family a very blessed New Year....

[@nathancline4000]

I believe the actual music video for this song includes footage of JFK, martin Luther King, Jr., and the astronauts that died in the Space Shuttle Challenger disaster. People who's lives were taken too soon. He has said this song is to be played at his funeral.

[@I_give_up_already]

@@nathancline4000 it also shows Lane Frost, Keith Whitley and John Wayne. The made a later version with Dale Earnhardt.

If tomorrow never comes is also a hauntingly beautiful song

Absolutely!

You beat me to it! I believe that song is one of the most perfectly written songs of any genre.

[@arlenejones2473]

When my son was still living, (he was handicapped) he asked me if I ever wished he had never been born. I told him about this song and explained how I could have missed the pain, I would have missed the dance. He just smiled and said ok. Now, when I am at a low point, hand to God, this song comes on the radio and I just smile and find great peace. I really enjoy your channel. You might want to listen to Diamond Rio's I Believe and God only Cries for the living.

God Bless you. I also lost a son and a daughter. I took care of adults with special needs and will always have a special place in my heart for people with special needs

[@richmacdonald1052]

when I was 26 my Dad passed from cancer, I had moved back home and helped take care of him his last 6 months alive. His last 4 days in hospital I stayed in His room with him almost non stop and awake almost the whole 4 days til he passed. When leaving the hospital parking lot and driving home this song starting playing on the radio just after pulling out..always held a lot of meaning to me about my Dad since.

[@DJRivera7804]

sorry for your loss. I was 27 years old when my dad passed from a major heart attack these types of songs remind me of my dad

[@milissaleatherwood6837]

Garth Brooks went to high school with my ex husband's mom. She said he was a dork that carried his guitar everywhere but that even she will admit that he completely changed country music and opened it up to the world. He is also considered the best showman in country music.

[@calvin4up]

Its funny cos even he admitted he was a dork in High School. Certainly loves what he does.

[@scottdarden3091]

After 20 years of marriage, my wife and I divorced. And I could still sing this to her, because we had some great times.

[@ronburgardt6495]

I was married in 1982 and my wife passed away 3 years ago. This song really hits home for me. My heart still aches and I cry every day, but I can't imagine having lived without my beautiful princess. Any amount of pain would be worth the love we had.

[@jeffreyfisher6231]

Keep fighting man.

[@MommaD95]

"Hauntingly Beautiful" for this song definitely means that this song will PUNCH you right in your emotions! You feel them all...

[@granny2012joan]

This has me crying like it always does. My son passed away Christmas Day 2017 and we miss him so much. He was only 41, married and had a 12 year old daughter. Passed away from a virus, his heart stopped and they never got him back in time. He did everything in his life, traveled, hunted, fished got two black belts. He loved life 😢

[@dankom8946]

Unanswered Prayers is one song from Garth you may enjoy also.

[@pinky2245]

Yes, one of my favorites! Another one is "The River".

[@chantallafrance297]

That was my wedding song

[@lindabrewer3243]

I met my 2nd grandson around May 23rd of 2003. He was 5 weeks old. When I held him, a deep sense of love overcame me and I cried and cried. The connection was one which I had never felt. They left to go back to Tennessee a few days later. On June 12th of 2003, he died from S.I.D.S. It was the most devastating thing I had ever been through to date. This song has always been my go to song since his death. It reminds me that I was blessed to hold him if but only for a few minutes.

[@ajonteampanalo]

❤️❤️❤️

[@pauletteriddle3776]

Omg, I'm so sorry for your loss! Idk what I would do!

[@bobroseberry985]

Tony Arata wrote "The Dance". One night at the Blue Bird Cafe, Garth was there and heard Tony sign this song. Now neither of them had been discovered and when Tony finished the song, Garth went up to him and said that if he ever got a record deal he would record Tonys song. The rest is history for the both of them. They remain great friends to this day...

[@BOOMNERD51]

[@ClayMorrow91]

Garth almost didn’t cut this song back in ‘89. The album was almost finished and Allen Reynolds, Garth’s record producer at the time, was like: “Why haven’t we cut ‘The Dance’ yet?” And Garth was like: “I don’t think it’s country enough.” And Allen says: “Pal..” In the music biz, they always used the word ‘pal’. “If you don’t cut ‘The Dance,’ if you don’t cut that song, it’ll be the biggest hit you never had.”

[@sarafrey3163]

They mixed a version of this when Dale Earnhardt died. Heart wrenching😢

[@dillonlexington]

"hauntingly beautiful" never thought of that song that way, but 1000 percent agree with your wife!

[@emilymisner23]

So from the perspective of a mortician this is actually one of the top requested songs to play at a funeral. Over the years I’ve heard it a hundred times and I still tear up every time, 2nd only to TAPS!

[@liamhilt1822]

Taps is so simple but hits so hard. Especially from a true bugle. Add in a 21 gun salute and it's over.

[@ginodiaz7421]

This has been my favorite song for so long. Living without regrets. I've already told my family if something happens to me, this is the song to play at my funeral, so I totally get that

[@tylerlackey8756]

Taps were played at my Grandpas funeral as he was an army veteran. He got military honors because he had served in the army. My dad followed in his footsteps and also served in the army but he is still alive thankfully.

[@lauraskelts8242]

I worked in a Children's Hospital. You would get close to some of the families. If the child passed, often you were invited to the memorial. Like you said, The Dance was played at almost every one. It got so when I would hear the piano as the intro, I would get goosebumps, followed by crying. If I'm driving and this song comes on the radio, often I have to pull over and cry, thinking of the kids. I think the dance is life. The lines about could have missed the pain, but I'd have to miss the dance. I think the kids I worked with would never choose pain, but they have to in order to experience life. They fight to experience life.

[@fluffylittlebear]

This song and "Go Rest High On That Mountain" get me every time.

[@darrinlindsey]

Glad you guys realized the meaning of this song. So many people don't understand the metaphor for life. Garth told a story once of a message he received about this song. The person said that they didn't understand who Ida was or why she had to miss the dance.

[@mariannegoldweber1577]

I got divorced the Year this song came out. It played on the radio over and over and over again and while I grieved what I had lost and my unfulfilled expectations, this song carried me through to the awareness that it wasn't all bad, and in spite of the end I was better for it because it all had purpose.

[@SebsDuran]

Very very touching. Sorry that happened but thanks for this note.

[@vickimurphy5183]

My mom felt that way. My birth father was not good to her but without that experience she would have missed out on being my mom ❤️

[@janetpope1455]

This song hits me in the heart. In 2020 I lost my husband of over 30 years. This song eases the pain by making me realize that even though "I could've missed the pain", "I'd of had to miss the dance" (a metaphor of our life). As hard as the loss has been, I wouldn't change a thing and "I'm glad I didn't know how it all would end". We Lived, we Loved and it was wonderful and free. Live each day fully and be present, we're all on limited time.

Same. It's a horrible club to be in. But at least we had the dance.

[@williamthomas7509]

I can't share much of the journey / friendship right now. One of my best friends, Jacque battled cancer for the last five years. The last 8 weeks I had to pick her up and carry to her wheel chair, help her stand in the bathroom, things she hated but was grateful I was willing to help her with. I started to tease her that after all this time she finally would dance with me as we took stutter steps to and from the bed, chair, toilet, or her lift chair. She feared it was too much and we would fall. I swore to her I would never let that happen, I would never drop her. On the 14th at 6:30 she was struggling I asked if she needed to go to the ER ... a pause .. yes ... I said okay we need to get you dressed ... shockingly she said she didn't care about putting pants on. We got to the ER, I helped her stand and they picked her up and placed her on the bed in the ER. I thanked for yet another dance. 7 hours later after settling her in ICU they told her sister she wasn't expected to leave ICU ... her sister called me before calling the family. Two days later she asked me to find a last gift to her sister, she accepted her fate with dignity and grace. As she always did she put others first ... their bond was special ... asking to find something for her to give was an honor with a lot of responsibility. On Tuesday the 20th I delivered and had to help her give it as she was too weak to lift the package. I shared a few special words with her, told her I would see her soon ... watched a tear form and she closed her eyes feigning sleep. I realize now she couldn't watch me leave the room. I was honored to be called her friend, even more so to be one of the 24/7 care givers. She kept saying she hated being a burden, every time I told her honestly it was an honor. I couldn't look back, I was hoping to see her the next day but feared I wouldn't. 7:15 the next morning her sister called she had passed after finally falling asleep after a very rough night. I'm still in a bit of shock but damn straight I wouldn't of wanted to miss the dance with her. My message to everyone ... EMBRACE THE DANCE it may not always be fun, but every second is worth it, IT IS LIFE!

[@knitswithhorses2285]

Beautiful sorry. Thank you for sharing it. Aaaand... I'm in tears all over again.

[@pamhorne5514]

I'm so sorry you had to experience that. But it's all in the dance. Blessings to you.

[@melissaisloud7404]

Garth Brooks basically created Stadium Country. He’s the first country artist who produced his concerts like a pop/rock show. He had pyrotechnics, rain, and a show unlike any other seen in the genre. He created the giant show that’s now a stadium country concert staple. He was a true innovator in business as well as in music.

[@dontworrybehappy8080]

Saw him live in LA. No opening band. High energy. Beautiful woman everywhere in the crowd. Probably the most high feeling from a live show I've ever felt.

[@mick6614]

When this song came out in ‘89 , the video that accompanied it was very moving with footage of iconic folks who had lived unique lives and had since passed. Great song, thanks!

[@chrisdutton2975]

Love the video also for Garth's spoken words before and after the song.

[@lauraskelts8242]

I'm crying every time I watch the video. But when they show Christa McAuliffe, and the crew smiling and waving as the walk to the Challenger, my heart just breaks. Powerful song, powerful video.

[@trunktrollz]

One of my all time favorite songs ❤ and it makes me cry every.single.time!!

[@Seizure1993]

This song was played at my Grandpa's funeral in 1999. My grandma chose it as their final song for each other. This song will always hold a special place in my heart since I always think of them when it comes on. Absolutely beautiful songwriting and song in general. The piano at the end always makes me tear up

[@aimeemarie5462]

When he sings this live, the audience ALWAYS sings with him. Has done that since the 90s. Everyone one holds their lights up and sings. It's always a beautiful moment.

[@sassytbc7923]

Garth has ended two of the concerts I have been to with this song. It always brings me to tears.. as the atmosphere in one of his concerts is so incredibly special.

[@vickimurphy5183]

I’ve seen him in concert 5 times and he always closes the show with this before the encore and he rocks the house again as long as we can cheer and keep him out on the stage. It’s infectious.

[@chuckh6024]

Being a bit older now. This song always brings to mind the life I've lived, who I've lived it with and have lost. And wouldn't trade any of my life's experiences good ,bad and routine for anything. The only thing worth having through life is the memories you make along the way.

[@Melly01]

This is my go-to song for any hard thing in life, especially the loss of loved ones. It's a reminder to go ahead and take the chance (almost certainty) of pain in order to experience the joy. People pass, relationships don't always last, serious health issues arise, life is freakin' hard, but worth it, so enjoy the ride! I LOVE this song. Love it. (FYI: You do have an echo going on.)

[@stevedaulton9655]

You picked a good one! Garth is one of the very best. Some of the best Country music there is, comes from the 80s and 90s! Great Era in Country music with so many household names coming on the scene and timeless classics. Definitely has a different feel than Country from the 50s, 60s, and 70s which is fantastic too. You know Country music is often referred to as Two Chords and the Truth. Its always great songwriting, sung with soul and passion with great messages that stay with you. Often great life advise.

[@kerriewhitaker9444]

Thank you for the tears this morning. Such a emotional song for me. I lost my husband to cancer so this hits me hard. Great reaction.

[@pnwcruiser]

Describing the meaning of "haunting" in that context isn't easy, it's true. You two are great together.

[@aveemarie268]

He definitely sounds just like this live. He's an amazing entertainer 💕

[@jodale1972]

The original video to this song is so incredibly moving. You should watch that when you get a chance. It pays a beautiful tribute to some great people we have lost.

[@TNT05]

Another Garth song that I think is underrated is The River. I love how Garth songs have deep meaning. I think he changed Country music and is one of the best ever musicians.

[@georgehucks2560]

I'm in stage 4 COPD with not much time left in my life. This song and MICHAEL BOLTON doing when I'm back on my feet again are 2 songs that ease my pain. Do Michael Boltons song and you will see what gives me strength. Do the live version. Happy New Year to you both. God Bless

[@dealer50]

The love of my life would always ask me to sing this at karaoke. On 12/3/23 she left this earthly life and took my heart and soul with her. This song will always be very special to me.

God, this reminds me of the 90's, Hangin out at my favorite local music bar, This killer local country band playing, slow dancing to this song... MAN I miss those times. Thunder Rolls was another of Garth's songs they played.

[@michellemcdowell8570]

My Dad loved this song. After his passing, my brother stood in for him as the father-daughter dance at my wedding

[@Patty0147]

This song is the definition of better to have loved and lost than never to have loved at all. You should listen to Kelly Clarkson's rendition of this song at the Kennedy Center Honors (honoring Garth).

[@elizabethstanford6826]

This song is more about would you change your path in life if you knew how it was going to end either for the good or the bad or would you still go down the same road.

[@ThatGirl.865]

"Like fr😂eaking RIP" 😍 Yellowstone is my favorite show! I hope you are enjoying the series. Garth Brooks is one of my favorite artists. I attended my first Garth concert in December 1992 on the "due date' of my first child. Our tickets were general admission and three hours on the floor was brutal, but I wouldn't have changed a thing. My second Garth concert was @Neyland Stadium in January (?). Our seats were on the top level and it was SO COLD! The show was unbelievably awesome!!! My niece is not a fan of country music, but kept saying "Wow, I had no idea! "

[@airkong]

Hell yeah! This is cool watching you go down the Garth road! One of my all-time favorite artists for sure! This was his studio version. Not live. Love the break down! Garth always makes you go deep when you listen to the lyrics! "If Tomorrow Never Comes", "Unanswered Prayers", "Mom" are 3 other Garth songs along this line....

[@RandyTWA]

There’s no going back now, Sebs. More Ali! Would love to see her react with you to The Warning and get her feedback on a female sister band.

[@lisamayreed6399]

Ty for playing this beautiful song....I needed to hear it today.❤👍

[@MikaSL53]

2/12/1980 when I was 10yrs old, my baby sister was born. She was everything I ever wished for in a little sister. I love my little brothers, but there's just something special about a sister bond & the fact that I was 10yrs her senior, and was not raised in the same home, made not one iota of a difference. 12/19/1993 my sweet sister was killed in a car accident. I lived in CA at that time and the day it happened, I was running errands & getting my car tuned up so I could drive to be with our family in UT for Christmas. My heart shattered that day & took me into a very dark period where I lost my faith in God. I was so angry, and at 23yrs old, it was even more painful to watch my dad & stepmom go through the agony of losing their youngest child and burying her 3 days before Christmas made it so much more brutal. Garth Brooks was one of my sisters favorite artists, & we had The Dance sang at her funeral. I found out later, that she'd been in the car with a neighbor woman not too long before her accident, and this song came on. My 13yr old sister said something to the effect of: "I want this song sang at my funeral". This year will be 30 years since we lost her. I didn't let go of my anger & let God back into my life until 2001, and am so blessed to say that He loved me even when I turned away from Him. This was a difficult reaction to watch, but at the same time, brought me peace & a sense that I know she's still around me & with me every day. PS. When I was growing up, we always went to the rodeo in our hometown in southern Utah. I think it's still going all these decades later.

I only started listening to country music because it was the only station I could get in the building where I worked. My brother was a Garth Brooks fanatic and I did not understand why. Then I saw Garth perform one of his songs live on an awards show. Totally changed my prospective. I have never been to one of this concerts but love to watch his live performances.

[@donnacopeland1382]

Yellowstone is so awesome I've been watching them from the day they came out and Garth Brooks The dance is my favorite

[@TheSyncos]

Honestly the "you don't like country but still like Garth Brooks" thing is legit. In '97 he played in Central park with an attendance of over 1 million people. He was honestly the biggest artist in the world for a time.

[@janethunter8741]

Hmm, those of us who are serious country music fans put Garth low on our list. He ain't no Alan Jackson, George Straight, Merle Haggard or Vern Gossdin. We wouldn't know him at all if it weren't for "Friends in low places" that someone else wrote.

[@TheSyncos]

@@janethunter8741 Regardless of whether or not "country purists" accept him is irrelevant to the fact that at one point he was the biggest recording artist in the world.

[@janethunter8741]

That's because many people have no taste. He tried to change to rock like Taylor swift and made a fool of himself. I like some of his songs, but I don't care for his voice. But, then again, I lean more towards bluegrass, and I love the older country artist who have kept country, country.

[@TheSyncos]

@@janethunter8741 Just let people like what they like. "The world has bad taste because a multi-platnum artist isn't what I like." C'mon now. He's always kinda been pop-country, and that's fine. Don't yuck other peoples yum.

[@janethunter8741]

@@TheSyncos it's a free country but country music is struggling to stay country and that's a shame because pure country is poetic and beautiful. ALL the synthetic accompaniment is really taking away from its beauty. There are very few musicians today who stick to guitar, fiddle, mandolin, even banjo and piano and go with sound tracks. Garth Brooks has just left a bad taste in true country music fans mouths. You can listen to whomever you want but we need to fight for pure country. It's not just music. It's a heritage.

[@creinicke1000]

Not just about losing someone from death or illness.. But also divorce or ending of relationships.. Even if it ends and causing pain.. That doesn't take away from the blessings of the relationship.

[@ryanlogan9231]

Garth talks about this song like it's his favorite child. It can mean so many different things to so many people. It's one of my favorites.

[@ronrogers8600]

This song is about having someone you loved torn from your life, being taken away through death, or stolen by a criminal act. This is live for the moment. Love for the moment for the time we may come when you miss that person and they’re no longer with you. Love with all you might all your heart.

[@charlenedurgin223]

It’s like that saying, “It’s better to have Loved and lost, than to have never Loved at all”. The journey of life is worth it, because of the love we have for others. Sometimes its best to not know how things will turn out.

[@secolerice]

When this song came out, we were friends with a group of people that included rodeo cowboys. One of our friends said he would never live to be 30. Somehow he knew. I don’t know if he thought it would be from rodeoing but instead at the age of 29, he was hit head on in a vehicle accident. The Dance was played at his funeral. My cousin who is part of the group was country DJ and also a photographer for Cheyenne Frontier Days. He just died last December 2022. Hearing this song again connects it to him now in my heart. Here’s to you Brad and Dennis❤️

Hey guys. This is from his debut album " Garth Brooks" in 1989. He would turn country music 🎶 on it's head! He did and sang stuff and did stuff that nobody else was doing at the time. He has won entertainer of the year numerous times, broke sales records, attendance records, and puts on a show like nobody's business!! I've been lucky enough to have seen him twice. In 1989 and again in 1994 or 5 here in AZ. He is the most down to earth guy you'll probably ever meet. He is considered a legend. Glad you are checking him out. I am new to your channel and will be checking out more of your reactions.

As a. I minister I have officiated many funeral.s With few exceptions, this is the song that is played while the the video of the deceased’s life is shown. It gets me every time.

First time I heard this was live at the Colorado State Fair, with my wife. Years later, our daughter died at sixteen. Within a year my wife left. I'm alone at seventy four with two songs to mourn to....No Tears in Heaven (Daddy will see you again baby girl) and The Dance (I pray my wife found her happiness). God bless

Love Yellowstone. My guy and I were Beth and Rip for Halloween lol. Garth was my first musical infatuation. I love so much of his music. Some of the best never even made the radio.

I was raised on country music. Haven't had an easy life by any stretch of the imagination. This song makes me cry because I lived in Nashville with the most amazing beautiful woman I've ever known. All I've known since is pain but I wouldn't trade the time with her to avoid the pain and heartbreak I've been living with since then

The dance is all of the good times they had together he's calling that the dance

Radio station played this song when they announced Davey Allison had passed away on July 13th, 1993. I heard this was Garth's mother's favorite song he did.

Thanks for watching "Yellowstone "now you are my hero. Happy to have met you here. You are "down to earth" that is country.

Just caught up to this reaction...omg this song gives me chills and makes me misty every single time.

[@lisaburtchell1527]

My brother insisted this song be played @ our Step-Dad’s Funeral. It described my Mom’s, & our Stepdad’s Marriage. It was beautiful. ❤️

[@GeorgeD1965]

The video of this song was cool as well. Have to see it. Showed things that happened in the past.

[@brookehornback1896]

Enjoyed you guys reaction.

[@Tinkerbellstune]

The actual video of this brings more clarity. It has images of the astronauts who died. Martin Luther King and many others who have sadly passed. I’ve told my family that when it’s my time I want this played at my funeral. At the end of the video he voiced these words…..you know I’ve never compared myself to the folks in this video but god forbid if I should leave this world unexpectedly I hope they play the dance for me because you see that’s it, I could of missed the pain but I’d of missed the dance and I wouldn’t miss this for the world!

Hauntingly beautiful... emotionally touching, tugs at heart strings, but moving and amazing at the same time!

[@banthonyl]

Many Many Wedding songs were danced to this song!!!

[@MomofTwins1992]

Your wife had it right hauntingly beautiful..I was 19 when this song came out and that's the description that popped in my head...hauntingly beautiful!

[@teresaglaros9457]

Yes, I love The show Yellowstone, another greatest ever

[@murtbuggy1]

I really like this girl's vibe and style.

[@bryanberg8132]

Garth. Is. The. Man. I can't listen to this song without crying because my dad told me he wants this song played at his funeral and I can't even think about losing my Superman without utterly breaking.

[@fouru2nite]

I just found your channel and it brings a smile to me. Seeing you learning the true meaning behind country music. If you have not seen the video of the Challenger space shuttle and this song. You need to. Thank you for the smiles and the tiers.

[@ognarw]

Absolutely his most beautiful song and he’s been rated among the top country songs of all time

[@MrDylanBrewster]

This song makes me cry every single time because it makes me think of my pawpaw it was his favorite garth brooks song

[@colleendebardeleben9167]

HAHA this is great! I love Ali's explanation for haunting...it is a hard one to explain. :)

[@kathysiedlecki6364]

Unanswered Prayers, Friends In Low Places, Thunder Rolls, The Vessel, and many more I can't think of.
