Once again, another song that grabbed Amber, and shook her soul. This is the power of country music.

Me too. I'm 72, and have the same memories.

Same, Im about 15 years younger but it makes me cry because I think of both of my Grandfathers who I lost at a young age

[@Intelligentindividualism]

There are a lot of songs he did that aren't allowed to be played due to some contractual issues. Go back and loon for his "they call me country"

[@darrinlindsey]

Amber, that's exactly the reaction everyone should have when hearing this song. I've heard it several times, and it still brings tears to my eyes.

I don't know why but I immediately started crying hearing his voice

[@JessCorey]

"Back in '35 in The Great Depression...." Sooo many kids that are under 30, have no idea how lucky they are....man for those of us that have buried our Grandparents....it means a HELL of a lot....we cannot and should not ever forget them...

20 year old gen Z here. Raised by my great grandparents half my life, got to meet my great great grandparents who lived through the great depression and WW2. Learned a lot, how to be frugal, how to redneck engineer stuff to make it work, and how important the past actually is. My great grandparents are still alive thank the lord, but I am to inherit most of my great grandfathers heirlooms. These are the things I will cherish forever, and each one holds a memory to when I was growing up. As I sit at my desk that was once my great great grandmothers listening to this song typing this out, it brings a tear to my eye every time.

[@randytorres8211]

This emotional number about an elderly man looking back at his life was written by Johnson as a tribute to his grandfather. The country singer-songwriter explained to Roughstock: "He died in 2000; I've got memories of him. He didn't know I was a songwriter or a singer. He just knew I could sing and write and that I was moving Nashville to get it done. He died probably the first eight months that I was in town. I've always wanted to pay tribute back to thank him for the lessons growing up, all the conversations with him. Nobody ever pays attention to that stuff until they're gone I'm afraid. I had a long way to go, I wanted him to be around a lot longer, I wasn't ready for him to go. So it's kind of appropriate way to introduce this album to the public." This was named Song of the Year at the 2009 Academy of Country Music Awards. In his acceptance speech, Johnson said: "I thank these two guys up here - Lee Miller and James Otto - for helping me write this song. Thanks to my band, too, for going in on an off day and producing an off record." Later in the year, the song won the 2009 CMA Song of the Year Award. Lee Miller told the story behind the song's inspiration for the book Nashville Songwriter: The Inside Stories Behind Country Music's Greatest Hits: by Jake Brown. "You look for the phrase that gives you a reason to write a song," he said. "And I was telling Jamey a story about some event that I'd been to, and it was a story … about Nashville back in the '60s and some pictures in black and white … I'm talking, and he's kind of zoned out … and he said, 'There's your idea. You think that's somethin', you should've seen it in color.'" He added "Those ideas are hard to come by … At that point, just don't mess it up; just write it correctly." Miller and Johnson, along with James Otto began talking about their own grandparents, and the song stemmed from memories of their grandfathers. "In a lot of ways, it's a song about our grandfathers," Miller said. The second verse ("In the middle of hell in 1943...) is about the experiences of Lee Miller's grandfather during World War II.

I hang this one right up there with “He stopped loving her today.” I can give no higher praise.

See my comment above, if "loving her today" is number 1, Color is number 2.....I agree 10000% I think it is or has been overlooked for the perfection that it is.

Beautiful song!!! 66 yrs old & still brings a tear to my eyes! Don't feel bad Amber! ❤

[@louella616]

Amen Amber, when we are young we are very much into ourselves. I remember many stories my dad would tell and as a youth I would think not again. Now in my 70’s I have more questions I wish I could ask and get answers to. I have black and white pictures of our family and love looking at them. Time is fleeting and to the younger folks out there listen and ask questions because that will be a treasure when you are older.

Girl, I cried right along with you. This song does it to me every single time. My mom died a month shy of 54, I was 23 years old at the time (I'm 53 now). I have a million questions I never thought to ask while she was alive, I was too young to know I needed to ask questions that only she could answer. My dad died two years later so I was an orphan at 25. My parents were immigrants, I have no aunt's, uncle's, grandparents, cousins... no one, so the history died with them. So, yeah, songs like this make me cry and that's okay. It's a beautiful song and he really has a very emotive voice so it just makes it that much better.

[@amandaburkhalter36]

Lillian, you have been through so much! I cried too bc my daddy went home in 2015, and I'm hearing this on Thanksgiving, his fav holiday, and one of his all time favorite songs. But, hearing your story, is really what brought the tears, back, after listening! You've gotta be so strong! And I wanted to give you my condolences, reach out to you, tell you that I read your whole comment, and you're in my thoughts. And to have a Happy Thanksgiving. Bc, there here with us, too! God bless you and your family. 🦃❤🤎

I'm not particularly stronger than the average person, we all just deal with life as it comes...one battle at a time. God is good, I am very blessed. And songs like this remind me to continue to share the family stories that I do know with my kids so they can keep them alive by sharing them with their future children. 😊

[@CheleBoxy]

This song ALWAYS makes me think of my beloved Granny and how hard her life was in the aftermath of her 1st marriage, when she was struggling to raise 3 kids on a farm in Kentucky. She & my father were 2 of the best people I've ever known. 💕💔

[@surlechapeau]

Jay&Amber, for female Friday: Jackie DeShannon - "Put a Little Love in Your Heart" or "What the World Needs Now Is Love"!! She’s one of the early singer-songwriters. She co-wrote Put a Little Love in Your Heart. She wrote the music for her original “Bette Davis Eyes”, words by Donna Weiss. Kim Carnes cover of Bette Davis Eyes was a worldwide hit/record of the year, which you reacted to 11 months ago.

[@PlumbPitiful]

Jackie was also the singing voice for Mary Ann on Gilligan's Island! Dawn Wells couldn't carry a tune in a bucket so when a 1965 episode of the show required Ginger, Mary Ann and Mrs Howell to sing a song Dawn lip synched to Jackie DeShannon's voice! kzbin.info/www/bejne/iauamKVqnbiehLM

Glad y’all got to Jamey. He’s a great talent with a lot of good music.

[@therockbiter8140]

My dad spent most my childhood in the Navy, my mom was a Marine, after that they both spent many years off traveling for construction jobs. So I spent most of my time with my grandparents who were children of the great depression and WW2. So this song resonates with me so hard. Looking at those old pictures and hearing stories of how my grandparents grew up through all of that hardship. Looking at all of the black and white pictures of them in their teens and twenties as they worked themselves to the bone starting a new family...you'd have no idea how hard it really was for them through all the smiles they had on their faces as they were working sugar cane or cotton fields or caring for all of their siblings who tended not to make it.

[@susanlab572]

I haven't hear this song in a good long while. Jay, your eyes lit up the moment he started singing, with love and astonishment vying for position in your smile... Amber, your reaction nearly brought me to tears. I lost my mom to cancer in 1980, about three weeks before my 18th birthday. Pictures were a luxury we couldn't often afford so I don't have many photos of her. She was 49. I think we were both feeling that song... I'm looking forward to Friday's film! Happy Thanksgiving to you all... ♥

[@reno8122]

When my Dad passed, the funeral home, at my request, made a video using this song, with pictures I supplied to them from my Dad's life. When I first heard this song years ago, it reminded me of my parents even then. They took extra time and made it really well. It was so good. A real tear jerker....and it's one of my most prized possessions. My Dad was a Korean War vet....Sergeant First Class. He was in the group that took Heartbreak Ridge. He actually went to the top twice....beat back down the first time, regrouped, and took it on their second try up. He came back home, put himself through night school, learned how to be a machinist, and kept the job he earned from that, for over 50 years in the same place. Him and my mother....who both grew up working in the cotton fields that Jamey spoke of....were married for 63 years. She passed away on his birthday, and he passed away on hers. He was my best friend and my hero. I miss them both every day. I haven't been able to watch that video again yet. It's been almost 3 years. This world we live in, and all the decent things we have in it, have come from people like them, that led those hard scrabble lives to build this country. I wish I could shake Jamey's hand. He has no idea how many people he has touched with this song.

I spent most of the day and evening working on them and I am amazed at the history in them.

I believe that when Grandpa says: “But you can't see what those shades of gray keep covered You should've seen it in color”, he is talking about seeing it through their eyes. Meaning they the picture only tells part of the story. It’s like when you see a picture of you and your bestie. You were there, you know what happened. Someone else will just see a picture of the two of you, with little or no context. (in color)

This beautiful song continues to bring a tear to my eye every time I hear it. The song reminds me vividly of my childhood spending time with my grandparents. As a family, we always spent time sitting and talking. My grandpa told lots of stories which included how he, as a Texas rancher, struggled during the Great Depression. My grandfather was very frugal even though he worked all his life and had a nice retirement salary. He fashioned tools from scraps and made due with what he could scavenge. He had a cellar filler with cans and cans of screws, nails, nuts and bolts and so much more stuff that he could have had his own hardware store. When I got older, it struck me why he was the way he was; The Great Depression. You learned to live with less and nothing went to waste. Some of that actually rubbed off on me. 😢😊

I am thankful to be reasonably healthy but I know, I have less days left than I have had. Tell those stories, share those memories. We only die when people stop telling stories about us. Love the COLD reaction. Sometimes I am frustrated that people who react to videos and songs do not know who these artists are but this reaction was awesome because you were caught up in the emotion of this amazing song. For what its worth, George Jones' "he stopped loving her today" is considered to be the greatest country song, if that is true, this is number 2 for me. Great job and well done! Keep up the good work.

Every single time we were there, we asked to look at these pictures that we've seen a hundred times and hear Papaw tell us about them. Such sweet precious memories.

This is also my first time hearing this song, and it brings to mind all the old photos my grandparents would always show me. One of my faves is the day they got married: she in a gorgeous wedding gown and him in his Royal Canadian Air Force uniform. I’m really missing them now. 🥹💜

My mother's family comes from Appalachia and we are blessed to have the number of old black and white photos of my ancestors that we do. Wish we had more from my father's side.

Jamey Johnson is a great artist. “High cost of living “ and “can’t cash my checks” are two my favorites that would be great reactions. He puts on a great show if you get a chance see him live.

I saw Jamey Johnson perform this song, and it makes me almost cry. I love it.

Another good song from Jamey is The Dollar, very touching!
