Vince Gill is such an unbelievably talented musician and singer. That voice is one of a kind.

[@williamweiss6128]

Agreed!!

[@scottluck2516]

I lost a family memeber yesterday morning. Last year my Grandma passed 2 days after my bday. I played Go Rest High at her funeral. Thank you for this

[@scottluck2516]

Incidentally, Vince started writing this song after Keith Whitley passed away and finished it after losing his brother.

[@kenseymour5152]

I’ve been to many funerals that played this song it gets me every time I hear it.Sorry for your loss we all must stand by faith in Jesus and his promise that we will see them again. So it’s just see you later see you we I get there

[@staylor3539]

Michael, I'm so sorry for the loss of your very special friend. May he rest in peace and may his memory never be forgotten. ❤️

[@psaint60]

Sorry about your friend. I lost the last of such friends a few years ago. Listening to music in my basement one night. 10 hours later he was gone. The last song I turned him on to was the old standard “How Great Thou Art”, but the version with Vince Gill and Carrie Underwood during the ACM Awards “Girls Night Out”. I told him I cry like a baby every time I watch it. He didn’t believe me. This was very early in her career and she looks so tiny, but the power she generates-I can’t remember seeing anything else like it. And in the background, there is Vince Gill, the Guitar Slinger, married to that contemporary christian singer, holding down the fort. Everything you said in your review applies here, times two. His solo, which comes off her very powerful and emotional beginning is so quiet, reverent and understated it could have only been pulled off by someone at his level. This is no ordinary crowd they are playing to either, and the cutaway reaction shots to many of country music’s best players and ending with a rousing, tear filled standing O verifies what a special performance this is. It made a believer out of my buddy Rick and although you probably won’t need a good cry for a while, I’m sure you will dig it. Cheers! The best cut here on YT is 5:42 long and posted by Peter Dennison.

[@reginaldwilson7140]

My favorite cousin was killed yesterday on his motorcycle. A 24 year old girl turned directly in front of him. Usually I rode right behind him. My front tire in beside his back tire. But I wasn’t there. That is why I’m here to learn this song. Thank you

[@Guitargate]

Wow. So sorry my friend. Lots of love

[@LiveFreeOrDie76]

Played this song at my best friends funeral. Great song and I still can't make it through the whole thing even after 20+ years. I miss you boom. Thank you Michael for doing this song.

[@Guitargate]

It’s my pleasure brother

[@chrishart8593]

Tears my little heart.

[@paulxaviercyr]

Vince Gill's voice is my "gold standard" for male voices.

[@homer6010]

Vince and patty loveless have the best harmony’s.

[@roberttaylor7309]

Just lost my lil brother mar 6. I feel your pain.

[@SteelCityJW]

For Adam, a true 🐐. Go rest high on that mountain

[@sandracloutier8230]

Great song! I lost my beautiful partner to cancer...way too young. I still grieve 6+ years later. These songs are a way to say goodbye again and again,and to express the sadness. I love your version! Thank you!

[@jcmartin1978]

God damnit Mike! This song always makes me cry.

[@travisthornton1792]

Thank you, Michael.

[@toddmarier]

Thoughts and prayers to all who have lost someone dear to them.❤️

[@Caperhere]

Sorry for your loss.

[@thearrogantcorndog5704]

This song gets me every time... this was played at my grandfathers funeral and I cried like a baby hearing it for the first time... and I still cry hearing it to this day... that's a testament to the power of music... beautiful choice of song, brother!!

[@jayceevender]

Thank you, i.m from Germany, you find the words, that Touch me. For me, the best Song Ever! Very nice greetings JC Voigt Lübeck, Germany

[@sir118]

Simply as good as it gets. Period.

[@sherirx]

I’m so sorry for your loss.

[@wiggywu]

Michael your breakdown of songs and your passion for music is one of the most incredible things I've ever seen.

[@benjamminnw]

So sorry for your loss.

[@erbyjay7414]

Hey Micheal Vince started to write this song after the great Keith Whitley died. He finished when his brother in law died in a car accident. You gotta know who Keith was... If not you tube him. Kieth was married to another great country artist Lori Morgan. Keith had a life long battle with alcoholism. Lori had to resort near the end to tying their legs together so he wouldn't sneak away when she was asleep. He died of alcohol poisoning. Two great losses for vince created this masterpiece.So sorry for your loss. Rest in the love of your wife and your faith. Keep up the good work brother.

[@erbyjay7414]

@Vince Gill Official Inbox it would be an honor. When I call your name is one of the greatest songs ever written. And yours and Pattie Lovelace harmony are heavenly. Also I've been a fan of your wife since her touring with De Garmo and Key. Your music has always been a huge part of my life. Thanks for all you do

[@erbyjay7414]

[@eyeandmind]

Well said, Michael, about your friend.

[@redhed9776]

some heart written songs are just a cut above...especially blessed.

[@guitardog]

Sorry, brother. Nice tribute to Adam. Vince is amazing. 🔥🎸🐶

[@allrise4]

The Avett brothers No hard feelings is one I would put in this category.

[@gordonpelto1069]

Sorry for the loss. God Bless

[@robertdonofrio7342]

The first time I heard this song was when Vince and Patti Loveless sang it at George Jones funeral.

[@richardbackstrom1748]

I love anything Vince Gile plays

[@rogerledoux4741]

I love this song, my dad passed not long ago I wanted to play and sing this for him but life intervened and my blood pressure shot up and I had a stroke the same day he died. I'm ok but it screwed up my fine motor skills so at least for now I cant play or sing. Thanks for doing this I just had flash backs of how much I love my father

[@scottluck2516]

So sorry about your loss and the stroke. Hope you continue to recover and get those motor skills back to play again.

[@rogerledoux4741]

@@scottluck2516 I appreciate it its getting better its slower then I want it to be😏

[@joerob3081]

The Isaac girls are amazing singer as well.

[@ryanw3658]

Condolences for your friend Adam. This song brings so many people comfort in the time of grief. I worked in the funeral industry and this song gets me e every time.

[@trawl7880]

'textbook, perfect' yup bless

[@TennesseeYaya]

Can’t believe I found this today. Just left you a post a couple weeks ago how much I enjoy your channel. This song, as all know, was written about Vince’s brother; could have been written about my brother. We lost him at 32 yrs old in a tragic drowning accident… this song came out about 2 weeks after he left us. Needless to say, it means much to my family. Thank you for doing this.

[@tims1348]

Tears in heaven could be a nice song for this series!

[@berntwangberg]

Thank you sir. What an amasing song. Your reaction made me cry. This song this song. All my love from Norway ❤️

[@lokevng]

Very sorry for your loss, man.

[@smellydan715]

Vince Gill is sooo amazing

[@tausenti]

Great tune, wtg Vince!

[@shopsmartin5851]

metal and rock try to turn the sadness to anger, but country embraces it. Nothing can get close to how sad folk/country music can be, in the best, most beautiful way.

[@DavidYarber]

Michael, it is unbelievable, to me at least ,that you released this today. I was at the Emergency Room at our local hospital last night waiting to be seen. Sitting there scrolling through my phone when a KZbin video of this song being performed be Vince, Allison Krause and Ricky Skaggs popped up. I told my wife right there that I wanted this song to be played when I was laid to final rest. Thank you for choosing it as well.

[@terrycolletti6793]

Vince is one of the greatest musicians the world has been fortunate enough to have. Unbelievably distinct and incredible voice not to mention his ridiculous guitar skills. Wow.

[@ish474]

I'm sorry for your loss. I've been there and I wish I could say something to make it better. ❤💔

[@billvillamusic3625]

Thanks again MP, condolences from California.

[@ff1047]

Sorry for your loss Michael.

[@oldman0995]

This song comforted me after my father died after an extended illness. Thx for sharing.

[@298s79]

Because true love never ends..people we love are always with us

[@mikem668]

I'm sorry for your loss, but happy you'd had such a close friend. Vince sang this for his friend George Jones at his Funeral and Memorial Service. I was lucky to have seen George in a little town in Washington few years before he died. Watching Vince sing, he was crying and I was crying. It's a special song for special friends.

[@2ChukBuk]

Beautiful. And that pedal steel player is perfection.

[@SeanVedell]

Agreed. A gorgeous song.

[@johnwallace3997]

PLEASE go and watch the version he played at the memorial service for George Jones. He falls apart while singing, and it is agonizingly BEAUTIFUL! Love your channel!!!

[@shawnchaudry2126]

Oklahoma produces some of the best musicians.

[@bkmeahan]

Maybe the 3rd or 4th song I learned years ago. Very simple melody and easy to play, but never failed to bring the room to a halt and get everyone listening. Of course as soon as I realized everyone had stopped talking and was listening to me, then I would forget the words :-D

[@troberts2009]

i would pay so much money to just hang out and have a few beers and listen to you play guitar and strum some rythm along, yes i have no friends anymore😅

[@iantaylor827]

Thanks for this Michael. Great video.

[@cwjr1968]

Thank you for this video. God bless you!

[@brendakirby2186]

You are absolutely right. This is the finest song ever written. Vince Gill has set the precedent of superb and outstanding vocals...melodies..and songwriting. Thank you for recognizing this beautiful song and the master who wrote and sings it.

[@stevenadler7460]

One of my favorite country singers and players! He’s one hell of a guitar slinger too. Plays just the right amount.

[@SuperMartind28]

You should look at his guitar collection on KZbin, it's crazy good

[@SuperMartind28]

@Vince Gill Official Inbox sure that would be great

[@metaltango329]

My condolences to your friend. And yes very powerful song. Watch him on do this song at George Jones’s funeral.

[@2ChukBuk]

Agreed. The vocal harmonies with Patty Loveless sends shivers up my spine.

[@nathanialbradford6681]

As someone who had this played at his father's funeral I appreciate you for talking about this. And loving it as much as I do.

[@jamiebroglin7395]

Michael, I'm so sorry for the loss of your friend. People don't always understand how hard it is to lose a friend. Vince Gill is such a good artist and this song touches our hearts every time we hear it. It always makes me think of my mother and how I miss her. Keep doing what you're doing sir, it works.

[@genegill3939]

Great song!

[@theatonementsight]

I clicked on this and it was so perfect the way you were talking about your friend because I was just driving back to Bryon Bay from Brisbane and this old friend came to my mind who I wouldn't have seen for 30 years at least and who I'm pretty sure perceived me with the vision of Christ so saw me where I really abide and not as I saw myself. And I was crying thinking of that and then I got home and heard you speak of your friend who it sounded like you have not run into for eons because of the way things have unfolded yet you know that your relationship is TIMELESS because the LOVE and brotherhood and GIVE is always present and you met in LOVE where there is no TIME. Funny though I clicked on your link in my email box as I thought you were doing "Go Tell it on the Mountain". :)

[@tyhathaway794]

after watching this video i have no words great job lots of heart and soul love what you do sorry for your loss God Bless watching from PC FL

[@KimberlyBowling]

Vince Gill is so underrated! He is so talented.

[@billfly2186]

Agree he's talented. But, he has won 22 Grammy Awards, so not too underrated.

[@SeanShuffler]

I feel the same about this song…I play this one all the time

[@thl.e]

When you play guitar like this, I'll sit all night till sunrise and listen. Beautiful!

[@robertekh4100]

So sorry for your loss Michael, praying for you and your friend's family. And thank you for picking this song, absolutely awesome song by one of the best musicians/songwriters/singers of our time. Much love!

[@scottcanann]

I don’t even play guitar, but absolutely love your channel, your reviews, your enthusiasm and your insights. All of that resonates with my love of music

[@staive70ss]

Keep watching, pretty soon you'll know more music theory than most guitar players.

[@OligoST]

Music is like a math problem that you can solve with only your feelings.

[@sherirx]

Me too!!!

[@alfredgregory6473]

Vince is awesome

[@samuelflohr2881]

Me too. I play trombone.

[@allrise4]

It surprises me you picked this and I am so happy you did. I love this song so much. I’m sorry to hear about your friend.

[@qcc5]

AWESOME !!! No other words could express it.

[@mitchweiner]

Great song and singer to start a new series with. My condolences on the loss of your friend!

[@matthewmartin7639]

I had the privilege of meeting Vince at a Predators hockey game. He is an avid fan of the team and a season ticket holder. And he sits amongst the fans, not in a box. I ended up standing behind him in a concession line. Super nice guy. Extremely humble and down to earth. It was in between periods so we talked music and guitars for about 15 minutes. He really is a what you see is what you get kinda guy.

[@douglove2412]

Another amazing feature of the song is Vince’s references to his friend Keith Whitley, whose death inspired the song. “I’m no stranger to the rain” is one of Keith’s hit songs. Also the lyrics about “facing the devil” come from that song. Whitley died of alcoholism. So sorry for the loss of your friend. May he Rest In Peace.

[@xitsAndrew3388]

my best friend passed away tragically in january of 21. we played this one out hard.

[@horrorandgames]

Hey Michael, I am so very sorry for your loss. I'm glad you mentioned Adam's name. We've heard his name and now, we'll not forget it. I wish you, your family and Adam's family all the strength you will need in this brutally difficult time. All the best.

[@Buk99]

Beautiful song, man. During your intro I could see you were deep in thought when playing. The best country tunes have a way of stirring up something inside of us. When those harmonies kick in they tear your heart out (in the best way) Music is the ultimate healer.

[@brandiegger8808]

RIP Adam. One of the most beautiful and impactful songs of all time.

[@beenice9867]

This is the greatest song to remember someone you loved. Rest high on that mountain, Adam. So sorry for your loss, Michael.

[@janesmaellie6813]

I know zero about playing guitar, piano, or anything, but just love your channel Michael. Vince Gill is special. That song gets me every time. I’m 75, just finished a documentary about the rise of Creedance. Loved it. Last night while watching a movie I instantly recognized Sturgill Simpson’s voice. Have just discovered Shakey Graves. Wow! I’m grateful that music brings me joy even if I can’t play a single note. 😋🎶 Thank you Michael . Your reactions are the best!

[@arthurprelle3295]

Great ear and insights.

[@davidburchfield2720]

So sorry for your loss my friend

[@brianhartsell4085]

Just subscribed to your channel. Sorry for the loss of your friend. This song was played and my Grandfather's funeral. Man, I'm a metal head, have been for over 40 years. But I do listen to different genres, this is one of the most beautiful songs composed. I do play, well did and stopped for a while. I've started back, with my son. I have an eye disease, that's taking my eyesight, so I had to stop doing(working), for almost 30 years. I'm disabled, as far as my sight. So music has become important again, well it always has been, but the participation had stopped, but have started back. I found your channel, last night. You were doing a video about Randy Rhoads, Mr. Crowley. So glad your channel popped up. Again, man, I'm very sorry for the loss of your friend. And this is a beautiful song, thanks for sharing the techniques and explaining it.

[@craigrwc]

Sorry for your loss, Michael. This was a wonderful tribute to your friend. I could watch videos like this about Vinve Gill all day every day. My uncle that inspired me to take up guitar so many years ago was a huge fan of Vince and he and I bonded over this kind of music. Thank you for this.

[@liseeistrupschrder4888]

Sorry for your loss. And thanks for the lesson’s, and this is a great song. 💔

[@mase3516]

Always reminds me of my old man who passed last year...beautiful song!!!

[@darkbluemullet]

My favourite song of all time is Into My Arms by Nick Cave. I would a reaction to that.

[@pettyeddie2000]

This song rips my heart apart every time I listen to it because it’s so genuine and full of emotions. I often play this song for the yearly Memorial Day of my nephews death. R.I.P. to your friend Adam and my nephew. 🙏🙏

[@thl.e]

This is exactly how I see you with sensitive people. That's when I write love songs because it's love. (For everybody. Please don't get mixed up with love and lust. Big difference. I'm not going that way.)

[@stratcat3216]

I've lost both my parents now and this song is a gift.

[@Dave-gf3kd]

Michael, sorry to your and your friends family for the loss. Please keep doing this series! Being on GuitarGate and following you here on KZbin has taught me so much- that I can now understand most of what you point out. A beautiful song, a beautiful performance. I was entertained, inspired, and learned a lot! Thank you

[@pastorhudson]

Thank you so much for posting this. I love what you said about creating space and dynamics. It’s so easy to over play songs like this because people are afraid or lack confidence to sit in the space.

[@brentpruner]

Beautiful. Sorry for your loss. Music can heal. Also hear John Hiatt’s Friend of Mine (for a musician friend) or Carved in Stone (for a Dad)

[@jeffwhiten3150]

I'm so glad you reviewed this song and this artist. His abilities to write, sing, and play come from a Divine connection to the One who gives all talent. It's also to this same God that He's singing about giving rest to all who will call on Him. Love what you're doing Michael Palmisano!

[@jeffwhiten3150]

@Vince Gill Official Inbox Hi Vince. I do appreciate your talent and skill at making great music. You make it look easy. I'm sure the world would do well to hear some of the original "struggles" in learning and growing your craft. I certainly would. Keep up the great work!

[@clayvinson720]

Hi Michael. Your channel is full of all the emotions of life. I hope everyone who watched this listened until the end. It takes balls to be vulnerable. If you didn't allow yourself to share those things, we wouldn't get to know you. Many times people who have KZbin channels don't allow themselves to open up, and I fully understand why. Your channel, on the other hand, is enhanced by your ability to communicate with the rest of the world in an honest, open fashion. Thank you for all you are doing. May you all find peace in the loss of your friend. God Speed

[@clayvinson720]

@Vince Gill Official Inbox I'd be honored to be on the list. Please feel free to do so.

[@jamesjacobs8575]

Sorry for the loss of your friend. As someone who has lost I appreciate you doing this song. I love your channel and how you do things. Vince wrote it for his brother and did write a third verse to this song.

[@jamesjacobs8575]

@Vince Gill Official Inbox Hey thanks for the reply on my comment for you video. I would love to be added to your fan account. I actually played and sung that song at my grandpa's funeral in Manchester Tennessee a few years ago. It was a very in the moment all feels and I got through it. He loved when I would play so I had to do that song for him.

[@sirhilaryflange]

Wow what a song, nearly lost my brother 2 weeks ago, this song hits hard…

[@donaldyoung9838]

Hey Micheal You Are So Right This Is One My Favorite Country Songs Of All Time Every Time I Hear This Song It Makes Me Tear Up I Heard When He Starting Writing This Song It Was For His Brother That Passed An Then He Was Writing It For Keith Whitley Thanks For This Music
