TOBYMAC "21 YEARS" - REACTION VIDEO - SINGER REACTS

[@kimtalley4496]

It seems like no matter how many times I hear this song, it wrecks me every time.

[@gabriellauria]

Blessed are those that mourn, for they shall be comforted . 😢❤️

[@BirdmansPlace]

Amen, my brother.

[@kingderphead]

I could feel his pain especially during the screaming part. I know you always remember your dad. A very great tribute song. Thank you Mr Birdman

[@BirdmansPlace]

Most definitely. It was heartbreaking to watch this. Thank you brother. I appreciate it. Much love to ya.

[@rondag.3761]

This was so awesome and sad! Yes, as a Christian when my heart hurts from a big loss I always say, "My Christian heart is having faith and understanding but my human heart is struggling or breaking".

[@BirdmansPlace]

I love that. So true. I feel the same sometimes.

[@joannajohnson8210]

Jesus cried when He reached the home of His friend, Lazarus. There is nothing wrong, no shame, with feeling grief and loss. We just know that this isn't the end of everything... we have hope. And that helps.

[@danielleharty269]

You are the first reviewer to mention the yelling from toby ... That part tore me up .

[@blameitontherain29]

You can absolutely feel his heart breaking... Especially in his live version. It's so powerful 💞

[@jaysondixon923]

Beautiful song... the line "21 years what a beautiful loan" absolutely KILLED me... but yes, his son, Truett, was an up and coming rapper, he has a few tracks with him when he was younger

[@BirdmansPlace]

Yeah..that is a strong line. Very strong. But that quote at the end..that's what did it the most for me.

[@Pyroverbs205]

It's been 2 years since I first heard that song and it's still just as impactful. God bless

[@Iluvantir]

Luke 15:20 "And he arose and came to his father. But when he was still a great way off, his father saw him and had compassion, and ran and fell on his neck and kissed him." God is so ready to forgive, and run, and welcome us home.

[@El-Chav0]

Amen

[@kenross9026]

Im crying with you man ,beautiful trbuite to his son and And God

[@djsherrard8904]

I just saw your reaction to this song/video. I cried and got emotional in the same place you did when he is screaming out for his son. I cried and still get emotional every time I watch it. Thank you for being real!

[@victoriabroadfoot4041]

I lost my 21 yr old son around the same time as Tobymac to the same thing. This song hits deep

[@BirdmansPlace]

Amen... I feel you on that. Same here.

[@jessicalacommare743]

God bless you all!!!❤🙏

[@jamesbo8521]

♥️🙏🏼🕊️

[@blameitontherain29]

This song was always so touching to me because we had a son who was struggling with addiction .. my husband had loved Toby Mac since DC Talk. You can literally feel his heartbreak especially through that cry near the last lines. It's so emotional. We ultimately lost our son last year - coming up on his 21st bday a month from today... And the date of his passing just over a month later April 1st. .. this song is now one that I know prepared us for what we would go through 💕 he was in a coma for 6 days so in a way we got to say goodbye but I will never forget that anguish. It's indescribable. This song has helped us cope- along with some others in the same Christian realm and I know without a doubt in my mind some days it's my son communicating- saying he's ok. Thank you for your reaction it was so touching and beautiful.

[@kristisiggers8068]

Lyric that gets me is " you thought you had to time to straighten out" no one knows when their time is up

[@BirdmansPlace]

That's exactly right..that's a hard one. Hard song to listen to in general.

[@axisfighter]

Great reaction! Nay! The best realest reaction to this song! You are the first reactor that I’ve watched of this song that was real and let it flow. I cry every time I listen to this song. Be blessed.

[@jacobroquemore1698]

This brings tears to my eyes. Every times I hear this song. Toby Mac is the GOAT.

[@hannahhuffman5061]

It is such a beautiful yet sad song. His son's 1 year of being gone is coming on October 23. His sister recently passed away. I know that things are certainly tragic for Toby, but I love to remember that God is always going to be with us through it all. Thank you for the reaction video.

[@BirdmansPlace]

Wow...I didn't know about his sister. So sad. :( God Bless this man. Such a sad time for him. At least he knows they are in a better place now than we are.

[@flameofthespirit7222]

Thank you for a genuine reaction! Another good song I think you should react to is When I Say My Prayers by Jordan Feliz.

[@trw3736]

Thank you. I needed this today.

[@kathylivedinthe80s14]

As someone who has lost their only son I can feel and understands his pain. It’s something no parent should ever have to go through is to bury a child. It’s been 29 years for me and the pain is still raw and days feels like it just happened. You never get over it or it never gets easier you just learn to live the new normal.

[@sarasweightlossjourney1432]

I have a 21-year-old son and I cannot even fathom losing him. I have to remind myself everyday is precious that I have with my children and that God has blessed me by giving them to me because ultimately they're his children. We are his children and he loans these amazing human beings to us to enjoy and love. I don't let myself sweat the small stuff anymore especially after losing so many people in such a short amount of time over the last 10 years. My mother, my father, cousins, my best friend committed suicide a few months ago, and I've lost more friends than I can even count because of drugs. I have a really hard time with loss and coping with it so to see the strength coming through TobyMac it's 100% God's strength that's what I've realized is I don't have the strength that's why I need a savior to give me his strength. Thank you for your beautiful respectful reaction 🙏💖

[@Mr79Man]

I'm a first timer on your channel. I'm now a lifer. Thanks birdman. Great reaction. Hits me hard too.

[@BirdmansPlace]

Thank you so much for the kind words and the support. It truly means a lot. Yeah..this song was hard to listen to, and the video made it MUCH harder. But it's amazing. I appreciate you taking the time to watch my channel. Much love to ya.

[@BirdmansPlace]

Yep...it actually does. Very cool. Definitely a great one, brother.

[@loriunderwood5629]

The tree in the video was Truetts favorite tree; they held his service there.

[@BirdmansPlace]

Oh wow...that's beautiful. Thank you for that info. I appreciate it. Love hearing more about this story, and other songs as well. Much love to ya.

[@cindyreinhart9552]

Pass. Yep Birdman I felt it too....our loss is still so raw. Dang...comes in waves is so true. Much love to you Birdman. I'm feelin it....

[@BirdmansPlace]

Yeah...it definitely does. Comes in strong waves. :( Much love to you as well.

[@couponingjen1581]

This one hit me hard because I can relate to the lyrics and pain😭 Good video as always hope you are doing good :)

[@BirdmansPlace]

Thank you, my friend. I am doing well. Hope you are as well. Yes..this song hits hard. I can definitely relate as well.

[@maryjacobs1226]

That's why we see the butterflies Bird Man. They are finally at piece. Yep it hurts but I know my mom as well as your dad is pain free and looking down on us. Much love.

[@BirdmansPlace]

I think so too...it's like their life here is the cocoon..now they are in their full and beautiful state in heaven...hence the butterfly.

[@coldspringsqueen6641]

His music will change you forever.

[@joannajohnson8210]

The visuals that hit me hardest are the shots of his empty arms. I've not lost a child to death, but have had to send foster children from my arms to their bio parents, knowing that they would not be loved or cared for well. Those first nights, when I was used to hugging them goodnight, but my arms were empty... whew! I can't describe it. There too, the pain becomes a part of you, you get used to it, but it never goes away. All I can do is pray that God will provide someone else to really love them. Thank God we had openings when most of them came back into care. There's only one who I don't know of her fate. Another thought that comes to mind is that God really KNOWS what it's like to watch His Son be tortured and killed. He really does understand our pain, beyond what we can imagine.

[@BirdmansPlace]

Yeah...that screaming got me. And the images of his son. And I agree 100%. Only God knows.

[@carolyngregory9092]

I cried with you!!!!!

[@mackenzielundt2213]

I have heard this song so many times because I listen to Christian music and this is on the radio all the time and I always cry

[@BirdmansPlace]

Absolutely beautiful song. It really hit me.

[@sue9197]

Tru dog was on his father's songs as a little boy on up til he lift us. Yes a young rapper on his own. Great loss but he is with the his are other father. God bless everyone 🙏 ❤️

[@commonsense1012]

God Bless Toby and his family what incredible courage to write and perform this song... so many lives lost to Fentanyl 1 close friend lost her only child at 18 and one of my best friends lost his 25 year old boy hi only son. Tragic to say the least!!

[@jasonmartinez2698]

Great song, good reaction

[@CytherX]

Pain makes the best musicians and artists. Pain get you in touch with your emotions and allows you to express it more clearly in your work. The devil seeks to kill and destroy. He will try to get you to turn from God by taking the lives of those you love. It can be turn around to create new things in you let it. Steven Curtis Chapman created the back up camera after his toddler daughter accidentally got ran over. After the release of Cinderella which was about a father dancing with his daughter at the ball before giving her to the prince....tragic...this is why we need to be right with God, so we can all be with each other in heaven.

[@BirdmansPlace]

I couldn't agree more, my friend. Much love to ya.

[@ztails3276]

I think that this song makes me think that what would my family and friends would react if I was gone from this world and gone to be with Jesus This song got me 😭

A truly great reaction vid, good to see your genuine emotion Birdman! My heart goes out to Toby and his family anew every time I hear this song. You should definitely react to some music by "for KING & COUNTRY", I strongly recommend the original vid to "God Only Knows", I think you'll love it and the message behind it. Ditto to their song Priceless which was written while they were making a film by the same title based on true stories. Check them out please, thanks.

I am not a parent, but I can’t imagine the pain that they feel if they have to bury their own children. We may joke about death every once in a while, but we don’t know how I feels to lose someone until it happens

Lost my beautiful cousin back in March 2020 at the age of 26....She left behind a beautiful little girl. Its crazy......I feel for my Aunt....no parent should have to bury their child.
