WHAT A STORY! Randy Travis - "Three Wooden Crosses" Reaction

[@user-do5gw3yh9e]

This song moves me to tears every time since I was a kid. When he says “the preacher said can’t you see the promise land! As he laid the blood stain bible in that hookers hand”. 😭 I can never finish singing from then on. How many others cry from this song?

[@ScottEdgmand]

Give this girl the blue ribbon very nicely done . Noone gets the meaning of this song the first time and you nailed it excellent reaction

[@MaddyReactions]

Thank you 🤍

[@glenketchum6379]

I just LUV your reactions. You are to cute for words!!

[@MaddyReactions]

😊🤍 thank you

[@Prudog]

This is why I love older country music it’s a story not just somebody singing

[@jimbennett8036]

This has for a long time been my favorite song by Randy Travis. I really enjoyed your reaction to it, especially when you figured out who survived the crash.

Wow wow wow is right! You got the meaning of this song quicker than any other reactor I’ve seen! You knew as soon as the preacher handed her the Bible, good job! Beauty AND brains!…;)

[@MaddyReactions]

Thank you ☺️💖

That’s the truth most reactors don’t get the story but she got it right away

[@MaddyReactions]

Thank you so much 🤍🤗

[@randieandjodistrom854]

This song is so good at illustrating the length of God's desire to reach every one of us. I'm along in years, and have been continually amazed at the length God goes to to get our attention, and how He embraces us when we finally get it, regardless of anything in our past. Grace and mercy. Grace--being given what we don't deserve. Mercy--not given what we do deserve.

[@MaddyReactions]

So true

[@jealousjelly]

Great reaction! You picked up the meaning of this song so much faster than any reactor I've seen. It was both the country and the gospel song of the year a couple of decades ago. If you haven't reacted to Brooks and Dunn's "Believe," I think you'd enjoy and appreciate it.

[@MaddyReactions]

Oh wow! Thanks

[@glennvanzandt3011]

Maddy, your comments and insights are always so good.

[@MaddyReactions]

[@treada1583]

meaningful song indeed

[@mikeconway9849]

Great reaction Maddy! Randy had such a great country voice. Good story telling also. He had many popular songs before suffering a stroke in 2013.

[@MaddyReactions]

Definitely

[@planojag595]

The timbre of his rich baritone voice is unparalleled. My favorite Randy Travis songs are Reasons I Cheat; Promises; Take Another Swing At Me; This is Me; Look Heart, No Hands; Spirit of a Boy, Wisdom of a Man; That’s Where I Draw the Line; I Told You So; The Box; He Walked On Water; Three Wooden Crosses; Hard Rock Bottom of Your Heart; It’s Just a Matter of Time; On the Other Hand; and Forever and Ever Amen.

[@kcctradio5751]

I LOVE your reaction at the end when the story came around. This has aways been one of my favorite songs.

Very good assessment, Maddy. It is also about change and redemption. "He Walked on Water" by Randy Travis is an excellent song too.

Great reaction, it's songs like this one that make you stop counting days and start making the days count.

Ugh i get so frustrated when i watch reactions to this song and people don't actually get what hes saying at the end. I'm sk glad to see that you understood the story that hes telling. Youd be surprised by how many people just don't be paying attention.

I have listened to this song and watched many other people like yourself react to this song but ive never thought about it like that. She was spared because she didnt have enything to leave behind yet. Actually insane.

[@samf.6298]

That's country music for you. So many country songs tell a story. And the fact that you understood the message so quickly is amazing! So many people get this message all wrong, kinda blows my mind. Great reaction!

Thank you ☺️

[@miked2445]

Even as an atheist, I draw inspiration and solace from this song. I never let myself believe that a Utopia exists in my future. Im not disillusioned to the point where I think Ill agree with every thought, explanation, reason and motivation that every other human has. But Ill never come down on or discount someone elses beliefs when I know they come from a place of thoughtful introspection and an understanding of place and self worth, inside our current and defined existence. "Intelligence is the ability to adapt and change." And those criteria are definitive of SELF, not surroundings.

[@MaddyReactions]

Very true

[@ellet6560]

"Just Like That" (Bonnie Raitt), "The Wreck of the Edmund Fitzgerald" (Gordon Lightfoot) & "Vincent" (Don McLean) are all great story-telling songs.

[@tonydelapa1911]

Having had an incurable (but sometimes controllable) cancer for 5 years (that I have beaten 5 times now) I have learned to motivate, inspire, and challenge myself to use well the extra time I have been given. Something I decided early on is that it is not as important to die without regrets as it is to do all you can to make sure the people you love do not die with regrets that you could have impacted or prevented. Nobody can be sure how much time one has. Next time you draw a breath in, hold it for a few seconds and appreciate it because you can never be sure that it won’t be your last breath. Use your time well.

[@MaddyReactions]

Hugs 🤗

I subbed to ya because of this video.

[@MaddyReactions]

Thank you, very impactful song!

[@CaptainMarvelsSon]

While the story is fictional, the crosses "on the right side of the highway" mentioned are real and the inspiration for the song. Nearly two decades ago, a millionaire (or his family after his death) spent his fortune erecting triads of tall crosses all along the "bible belt" area of the United States. Most have been taken down now, but a few still remain as far as I know.

[@jj.harvey4067]

@MaddyReactions, Randy Travis is a tremendous country crooner and true story teller, He’s had some very bad health issues and is no longer able to perform… Please, check out Randy’s songs, Forever and Ever Amen, On the Other Hand, I tTold You So, Deeper Than the Holler, He Walked on Water and my personal favorite “Promises” eVery one of them quite different , but each is Country Music Classic… Good Luck Jjh

[@atafuri]

Absolutely beautiful song!

[@michaelphipps8647]

I love Randy's voice. So sad his career was cut short.

It is refreshing to see a reactor understand the meaning of this song without having it explained to them. The thing is, it's not that hard to understand if they would just pay attention. Obviously, you do! Good reaction!

Hug 🤗

[@fayewood1377]

This is a wonderful example of redemption, I love this message.

[@timothybuchanan662]

I think the meaning is " we don't know what gods plan is. In this case the hooker survived, and bore a son who theoretically ended up saving many more souls.

Tim McGraw had a version of it. I think that is the one I know. It was first done by David Lee Murphy.

[@businessguycasual4200]

In the first verse ehen he says two are searching for a lost soul, it was the soul of the hooke.. thats my interpretation anyway.

[@gmac5431]

I'm curious what happened to the bus and semi drivers!!

[@damedicmt]

The Preacher did NOT preach to the Hooker. All he did was got her to think about something... He asked her a simple question about an absolute truth: "Can't you see the promised land?" Referencing what Jesus Christ our Lord said: "Thy Kingdom Come..." Definition = That absolutely, and most assuredly, know this - The Kingdom of My Father IS GOING to come!!!. This got her to think and realize that her Sin of desire to please her flesh (and the flesh of others) was going to NOT allow her to see this Kingdom, she then RIGHTED her life and took that "Blood Stained" bible given to her and began to read it! Then she shared the contents of The Word of God in that Blood Stained bible with her son, who eventually became a preacher who now is sharing the Good News with others! And... That is what the Hooker left behind!!! After The preacher left behind the Good News!

More often than not country music offers a story born of home, heart and soul which anyone can relate to in their own way. Thank you for including the genre in your reactions Maddy. And congratulations on your well deserved channel growth which will continue because of your dedicated effort, no doubt.

Very nice Maddy. Insightful as well as beautiful. One of VERY few reactors to this song who didn't need a comment section full of explanations lol. really a wonderful story. Lots of great music from Randy. One of my faves is a song about a guy remembering the time he spent hanging with his great-grandpa when he was a boy. It's called He walked on water. Think you'll like it. Stay safe and well.

Somebody else commented the same thing I was going to say. I love this song. I've watched so many reactions for this song, and you were the quickest to reach the meaning, and you reached it in a much deeper way.

[@PatrickOneal-nl7xk]

thats the thing about country music ... i am 67 yrs old and i can tell you that country music artist don't usually make up stories to right songs about ... most of them are true and they write about what they see or experience and country singers are very well known for writings songs about personal experiences and is where they get their ideas from.

Some really great voices, but somebody writes these songs. that's why they get the big bucks. then find the right singer. Good job Maddy.

[@TheLightSideReactions]

You caught the plot twist VERY early. Until the last verse, I thought it was the preacher that survived.
