Vince Gill - Go Rest High On That Mountain REACTION! REAL TEARS... I CANNOT

[@donalderickson8283]

I sang this at my fathers funeral, after everyone left the veterans cemetery I stood their and sang this to him. I was adopted and he chose me.

[@pattyrice2683]

This is one of the most beautiful songs I've ever heard Vince Gill go rest high on that mountain they sang it at this at my daughter's funeral she was only 17 I cry everytime I hear it I love Vince Gill and I love all his music

[@tonymcrae6510]

No other song purifies the soul like this one does.....PERIOD

Three of the best voices and best instrumentalists in the world. Just awesome.

[@charlieb.5047]

The musical talent on that stage is unbelievable, 62 Grammy’s between the three, Allison 27, Vince 21 and Ricky 14.

[@vickilee7494]

This is one of the kindest man and has a voice of an angel.

[@wendycalla4325]

Vince came to my 3 yr old cousins funeral and sang this song at the service . He really is such a sweet and kind person

My dad asked for this to be played at his funeral. We listen to it every anniversary. I miss him so much. This song means so much to us.

[@jamielynn767]

Vince Gill sang this song at George Jones's funeral service and he himself LOST IT!❤❤

[@robrobinson8597]

I still cant finish that video with a dry face.

[@jaywalsh8288]

I loose it everytime I hear this song it reminds me of my mom

[@vickiey6077]

That's actually the version I think he should have watched.

[@joannefisher9724]

I feel the same way when I watch it over again

[@tgolemon]

Lost my dad ten years ago today. Played this at his funeral. Gets me every time...

[@buschgardens]

Oh Lord--NOTHING compares like watching him trying to sing this at George Jones' funeral. He was BAWLING up on that stage and couldn't even finish the song. Patti Loveless was singing and comforting him at the same time. Seeing the audience stand up and crying at the end is incredible. Absolutely love Vince Gill.

[@fayefort-dh2co]

Yes the tears where flowing just watching Vince sing that day 😢

[@irenecoleman8375]

Beautiful song. I cry every time I hear it.

[@OldBooksForever]

That last "go to heaven a shoutin'... " sounds like a choir of angels.

[@sandeepayne3469]

My sweet little momma planned her own funeral, she didn’t want it messed up, this was the song she wanted played. Several years before she passed I was working security at the arena, Vince Gill came, my momma has never been to a concert, I brought her to see the show, she fell in love with him & this song. I still smile then cry when I hear it. I miss her every single day..

[@sharoncraig6911]

If this song doesn’t touch your soul there is something wrong with you.

[@jefftappan381]

If this song doesn't tear you up, you have no soul.

[@johnstrickland3933]

It is just one of those songs that touches everyone an crosses all Ethic groups. An ctures. Because everyone knows the pain. An everyone knows what this song is. Go to heaven to shouting.

[@trentonbrown721]

My great grandpa died in 2014 I still cry all the time and this song gets me all the time but we all know that all of our loved ones that passed away are in a better place but we miss them everyday

[@maryannanderson7517]

When my husband died almost 11 years ago I had this played at his funeral. It is my understanding that this song has replaced Amazing Grace as the number one song played at funerals. It is perhaps not surprising that I get as teary when I hear it today as I did on the day of my husband's funeral. It is a beautiful song and Vince's voice is hauntingly beautiful so how could you not love the song? I heard that Vince was so emotional over this song that he intended to write it for his brother and either sing it or have it sung at his brother's funeral and then never have to perform it again. His record company talked him into recording it which he reluctantly did but he did so believing that because the song was so highly personal to him it just wouldn't appeal to other people and no one else would want to hear it. To his chagrin, not only do average people like me want it played at the funeral of a loved one but when a member of the country music community dies Vince is always asked to perform it live at that funeral as well. I will never forget how much Vince struggled trying to make it through this song at George Jones' funeral. To Vince, George was not only a great country music singer, he was also a close personal friend and Vince had a terrible time trying to keep from crying. He was not successful. God bless Patty Loveless who tried her best to help him through .

[@TexasMagnolia]

Michael Liles Thanks! Today is one of those day I wake-up and miss my brother. You know, it comes and goes. Clicked on this song then saw your posting.

[@janeyreginelli3671]

Thank you so much I lost my sister last September . This was the song they played last at her memorial and I cried so hard I had to be carried out she was the oldest and she also raised me and my half brother and sister so I’m so lost with out my sister and my mother because she was my mother I miss her so much I still working on this grieving thing when do you have peace .

Your tears made ME cry. Great music touches us all and can bind us together.

[@tylerhart6928]

The song hits you a lot harder when theres someone it makes you remember

[@robingallo5285]

Billy, I have been a fan of, and followed your channel for quite a few years. I have never really had the words to express how I feel about a reaction - and then there was this song. My mom and I lived together for 44 years - for the first 25 years she took care of me as here daughter and then for the next 22 years I took care of her until she left for me for her Father’s arms. I had this song played at her celebration of life. I replaced every “Son” for “Mama.” I just had want you to know how much your reaction impacted me. I especially was thinking of not only family members you may have had to say goodbye to but your military brothers. Love and light to you ❤️

[@williamdavidnew4719]

It is a tough, emotional, beautiful song of love and peace. It should touch your soul to its very depths.

[@warrenburlingame7087]

The Harmonies in this song are so perfect

[@jefftappan381]

Let 'em go, my friend. The song is for everyone who's lost someone. Tears just show that you have a heart. No tears, no heart and soul.

[@evhleppard]

One of the most beautiful songs ever written.

[@dathadotson9273]

Listen to them harmonize. That is just beautiful. Oh my, oh my. It will give you chills. I want to hold my hands up to heaven, close my eyes, and praise God.

[@callydavis3071]

My mom wanted this played at her memorial... and we did... and it was beautiful...

[@kimberlyfritts9960]

This was the one song I requested at my Mom'd funeral. It's been over a year since she lost her battle with lung cancer. This song can still bring me to my knees.

[@ncmike213]

Don't feel bad, I'm 67 years and this song has brought me to tears for many of those years.

[@pamelabarrera5074]

You just made me cry. Ty for your kind words and virtual hug.

[@bronsonsydow142]

He started writing this when Keith Whitley passed away and then finished when his brother passed away

[@lyssness15]

Ricky Skaggs was also dear friends with Keith, who he met when they were both teenagers performing Bluegrass.

[@bronsonsydow142]

b_lyss_fully yep that’s correct.

[@Popson2wheels]

"you're no stranger to the rain" was from a Whitley song. It was several years later when his brother passed, when he finished it.

[@shawnj1966]

@Pops on 2 wheels, there are references to other Whitley songs in this as well. Beautiful song!

[@warrenburlingame7087]

Would have loved to see Keith and Vince sing together

[@JediLivesMatter2]

Listen I don't know you, but I just know my brother you have a blessed heart. Enjoy what we have now people. Don't take it for granted. I'm sorry about that little interruption. But to you sir I just want you to know your demeanor helps a lot of folks in various hard times. It did for me just now. So I'll always thank you for the kind words when I needed to hear them. Boy God works in mysterious ways, don't he? And once again to you. God bless you, my kind hearted brother.

[@F5RacingF5]

You don’t have to react, but you have to watch when he performed this song at George Jones funeral.

[@chemislife]

That is my favorite one to play for people. They almost never make it all the way through without getting emotional. True country at its best. Edit:for anyone wondering what we are talking about: kzbin.info/www/bejne/omKUoHasd92hh5I

[@LoganTravisDark]

My mother passed away 2 weeks ago. I took care of her the last 2 years. I haven't cried yet... haven't grieved. The explosion is coming. Don't know when, or how. It just builds and screams inside me. I know God's Word better than most, know she sleeps, to rise when the Lord returns... but it damn sure hurts for now. I appreciate your vids; as a vet, it does my heart good to get your take on things. I also know, by sharing my heart here, some will join me while I work through this, and understand where my heart is at, and grieve with me. Thanks, everybody, in advance. I love and appreciate you.

I'm an old grandma and I would love to hug you right now. I'm feeling your pain. Hugs from NC.

[@larynanntapp6333]

Vince started writing this song when country music star Keith Whitley died and finished it when his brother died. Keith is well known for his song "I'm No Stranger To The Rain" which is one of the first lines in this song. Keith lived about half an hour from me and we all grieved when he died. Keith will always be a treasured memory. It's a gift for all to be able to hear a beautiful tribute to both men.

[@gamechanger1687]

No matter who u are..let the music do what its suppose to..go to ur heart..and let rest by history but not ever forgotten.

[@leefowler8594]

Man, Billy! This song has always made me think of my Grandfather. His death is probably the one that had the most emotional impact on me in my lifetime. But I also heard my dad sing it once in a church that had recently lost their beloved pastor. Tuesday, Dad found out he has inoperable cancer. I don't know long before this song has another sad connection in my heart. If you read this and happen to be talking to God in the near future and think to mention my dad or our family, I'd be appreciative.

[@jenniferdevereuxBarBon]

This is the song I picked to be played at my father's funeral in 2003. It STILL gives me chills when I hear it! If you want to see Vince Gill give the most amazing performance of this song,look up George Jones's funeral at the grand ole Opry and you will weap like a baby watching Vince Gill sing this song. It's such a beautiful,emotional,and raw performance. JUST BEAUTIFUL!!

[@pattilegg5986]

This song came out shortly after my first husband passed away 25 years ago. I've always loved it for it has continued to comfort me for many years.

[@RosettaStoned462]

Vince Gill .. his voice is so beautiful

[@100fredkrueger]

I can’t hear this without breaking down. Vince has an amazing voice and he is an amazing guitar player too. Another amazing Okie. We sure have a lot of good musical talent come out of our state.

[@suewatkinsmehlenbacher8587]

Vince Gill does so much for country music AND country artist! He watches out for all of the new & old country artist! His faith in our Lord Jesus Christ is just as strong in our path of Country Music!

[@estherwhalen614]

This is a song that everyone will need in their life. Such a touching song, written from the heart. I appreciate your heartfelt reaction.

[@RTHfan]

Billy, you’re a good man. I pray you never need to use this song for a loved one. Blessings on you for the tears you’ve shed.

[@travisrussell9166]

Best true reaction I have ever seen. Its a very heart touching song.We have all had someone that we have lost, hoping they are resting high upon a mountain. Great Job Billy

[@shadsullivan7817]

This song brings out a lot of emotions in me! All the people lost in my life, the pain comes back. Vince has a gift that no other singer has to give us. Thanks!!!

[@KuutenV3]

As soon as I saw the title I knew BillyYouSoEmotional would make an entrance. If you want an even sadder version he tried to do this live at the funeral of George Jones. In this song no matter when he does it he always seem to bring out just the emotion in his voice which makes it just have that connection with anyone who listens to it.

[@jefftappan381]

I couldn't hold it together watching Mr. Jones' funeral, either. Bawled like a baby.

[@rhondadross]

Jeff Tappan I bawled like a baby!

[@seanswinton6242]

KuutenV3 Lord yes! I saw that a couple of weeks ago and like Vince Gill, I lost it. It hit me like the song did in 2000. As I drove to work listening to the radio the song came on and I had to pull off the road the a gas station to compose myself. I've come to realize that is just going to happen I hear this song. Vince Gill-genius! The power of great music!

Where I'm from in Oklahoma there is an indian festival every year. I think over the course of 3 days the habe like 10 concerts, atleast 2 performers are hugely famous and it's all free. The night that Vincent gill was there we got there around 10 a.m. and waited all day just to hear him sing this one.

[@hnd450]

yes sir that man can sing and his music has been played at most of my family's funeral and i played it for my father when he passed

[@kelseykelley976]

My husband is an army vet as well!! He was in 7-8 years and was a combat engineer. Love your channel I just subscribed because I happened to stumble upon this video wanting to hear this song.

[@bobbycates6176]

People react different when listening to a song.. but when you see someone hear a song for the first time. And see the reaction. See there emotion.. and I have heard this song probably a hundred.. it's still cry every time I hear it.. so that emotion you're feeling.. that feeling of that there is something special about this song.. dig deep in your soul.. and let that feeling come out . That is the true meaning of song..

[@melissakardos3715]

I lost my little brother 14 years ago. This played over and over in my world even still today. He was 32. It’s was quick. We were talking on Friday night and my mom was calling me Monday morning. I was with a patient. I quickly went from being the nurse to needing help. I was on my knees in the hall. I’m glad to see younger people listening to these older songs to help through some of our darkest hours.

[@berlyn3014]

The original with Patti Loveless and Ricky as the backups is a bit better but this is an amazing song. The only cover I've heard that comes even close to the emotion of the original is Home Free's cover.

[@Gutslinger]

Yeah, I love the way Patty's voice meshes with Vince's.

[@fawnebrown4619]

The original will always be the best version to me. The harmonies are glorious!! Vince's vocal is perfection. The background video gives it a haunting and heavenly feel to it.

[@BW-lb3vd]

I dunno Alison Krauss could sing perfect harmony with a lawn mower,mowing lawns in heaven.

[@marynorris724]

Thank you so much for playing this! I sing this song to my 19 ye old son! Bless you!

[@tammymoseley1348]

This is one of the only two covers on Home Free's "Dive Bar Saints" album. And they totally "get" the song's meaning and emotion. They also slip in a little surprise that completely fits as if Vince Gill himself told them to do it. Give it a listen, you won't be disappointed.

[@susanhorn4325]

There is a fantastic video of Home Free singing this song as part of Country Rebel’s The Church Sessions. It was recorded live in one take at a church in Nashville. The acoustics are so good...it’s the perfect live recording. I’ve seen them sing it at several concerts and Chance had a difficult time getting through it...he had to keep his eyes closed throughout the song.

[@bevmilton2726]

Precious and blessed are those that can feel

I like this better with Patti Lovelace, instead of Alison. But Alison is my second favorite with this song.
