As someone in those final years,I find this song gives me more peace than sadness. The belief this old man had was in the words of Jesus in the Bible…the “words written in red” and the comfort in knowing he would see his loved ones again. I am SO counting on that as loving them in my memories is not enough anymore.💔. Taylor,hon,I had a heart connection with you the very first time I saw your eyes fill with tears while listening to a song,because I have always been the same way. And Stephen,you don’t fool anyone,my friend…I’ve seen that “glistening” in your eyes more than once,and,to this old lady;it takes a strong man to show a tender heart! I loved your reactions to this beautiful song!❤️❤️

If you want this. It is open to you too. Pray this prayer from your heart. Dear God, I know that I am a Sinner. I believe that Jesus Christ, your Son, died on the cross for my sin and rose from the dead to be my Lord. God, I now repent of my sin and personally invite Jesus into my life. Thank you, Jesus for giving me the free gift of eternal life. I promise to live for You as You reveal Yourself to me through your Word, the Bible. In Jesus name, I pray, Amen

Mamma used to send him over with things. He believed and trusted her judgement. He became friends with the old man. He believed, over time, what they shared. The old man passed on his faith in there being something more. It wasn't til the old man died that he had to wrestle with these things himself. The life, the shared experiences all of it together was ALL Belief. I am an older person and I took great comfort in this song. I have buried more friends and family, and I too BELIEVE that it doesn't end in a slow ride in a hearse. It gives me peace.

The close connection of a young boy and older guy with an instant bond, is what really pulls at your heartstrings and you never want it to end.

I have heard a lot of “sad” songs since I was a teen in the 60s. Usually do not make me cry because the singers are not “feeling” the song themselves. Great voices, great music, great sad lyrics, but still fell short. With or without an MV. I have great respect for singers who put themselves into that vulnerable place while they sing and make me cry. My all time favorite group, S. Korean, made me laugh, cry, angry, heartbroken, rock to the beat, and wish I could give them granny hugs. Including during their live performances and me not understanding a single word.

J D Souther (who wrote many songs that were recorded by the Eagles, Linda Ronstadt, Jackson Browne etc) once said in an interview, he hated country music when he was younger. Thought to was all nothing but simple, "crying in your beer" corny hillbilly music., But he said once he started actually listening to more of it and studying it and writing more country style music himself, he started to realize just what an art form it actually is and formed a real appreciation for it.
