Willie Nelson - Always On My Mind REACTION

[@Pezzonovante916]

Elvis sang this, and I am a huge Elvis fan, but Willie Nelson owns this song, and you have reacted to the best version of this song.

[@frandistabile4723]

You have the most beautiful soul James..Thank you for bringing love and happiness to everyone..

[@dunismith3045]

I’ve said it before-your grandparents have great taste in music! Glad you are feeling better and back in the saddle!

[@ailishadoyle4660]

A little side info, He was married several times, and is still friends with all the wives! And they adore him..It says a lot about him,. a lovable rogue! Love Willie!

[@iseeyou736]

Willie wrote songs for everyone Patsy Cline, Elvis ect. Love to Willie

[@randybean4678]

You're grandpa knows his music And he has a terrific grandson.

[@lynette.]

Willie Nelson the most layed back man on the planet love that voice.

[@michaellynch5254]

No other version could compete with Willie Nelson's version. Such an epic original voice.

[@michaellynch5254]

@Kris Moodley yeah I do like the pet shop boys version as well.

[@Laueee95]

Elvis version did it for me

[@thekingsdaughter4233]

@@michaellynch5254 that's what I heard first; I loved it, and for the longest time I didn't know it was a cover version. But Willie Nelson's version really shook me. :-)

[@rachelsullivan2926]

Who else smiled when he said "This one was requested by my grandfather. " so sweet. (Though it made me wonder if gramps might be a smoking man like wild Willie.)

[@matthewlee6168]

Another GREAT Willie Nelson song is 'Angel Flying Too Close to the Ground'. Classic.

[@spidermiss2426]

yes, my Father was very fond of that one. :)

[@themisianos]

The one !

[@holyspacemonkey]

My favorite Willie Nelson song. Next is his first recording of Night Life.

[@joeterp5615]

Nicole Holford Lockney - yes, love the medley of that with Time Slips Away and Crazy! (Posted the link to this in my main comment).

[@joeterp5615]

Yep, that’s a great one too. He has soooooo many great ones. He’s a national treasure!

[@sarahweers8035]

“Blue Eyes Cryin’ in the Rain” is another Willie classic. Such a simple song with a simple arrangement, but it is simply beautiful!

[@debbieepps7029]

His best song ever!!!!! to me and he had a lot of great songs.

[@zenhaelcero8481]

Willie did a good version of the song. For the record, it was first performed by Roy Acuff.

[@marie2274]

His son does an amazing job of the song too..

[@shirleybuffington6420]

I like both versions of this song but this is my favorite one it seemed more tender

[@annasaylor3566]

Your not soft; it takes a strong man to cry, show true and deep emotion and feel it deep in the heart and soul. Your a true heart and a good man. Keep being that way and 😃

[@danw7008]

Willy Nelson is a legend mate! And such a beautiful voice

[@oldschool72]

This was written by Wayne Carson, Johnny Christopher and Mark James, the first recording was by BJ Thomas in 1970, it was covered by Brenda Lee and Elvis Presley in 1972, however Willie Nelson received the only Grammy for his version in 1982.

[@MsSlmitchell]

Love this song. Played this as the final song at my ex-husbands funeral. After his death, I heard that he always spoke lovingly about me to anyone he met....wish things were so different. RIP Derek.

[@frananderson7392]

So happy to see you and hear Willie Nelson. I love your Grandfather, because you love him and I love the songs that he asks you to play and react. Once, I said to myself "I love Love." GBY

[@chuckneace3219]

Have you covered seven Spanish angels by Willie Nelson and Ray Charles another great song

[@clarelouise1216]

Glad your back James! Missed your videos and your big smile 😊

[@2zxodcfm]

You may have heard it first by Elvis but Willie wrote this song. As a younger person I was never a huge fan of his voice but I've grown to really appreciate how to me he is quite unique. And this man has written some of our most beautiful heart touching songs ever penned. Someone here mentions Seven Spanish Angels sung by Willie with Ray Charles. I concur. That song will move you as well. Share it with your grandfather. He likely knows it but he'll welcome a return visit.

[@MommaBird52]

Willie has a distinctive voice!

[@Anu-uv4is]

Willie Nelson is such a legend. He wrote 'Crazy' when he was 23. Let that sink in. He is such an amazing songwriter and guitarist. His covers are always exceptional, 'Stardust 'is so very beautiful. Lovely reaction to wonderful artist.

[@nataliefeelme4416]

That song...is so very deep. I love it very much.

[@johnlake4809]

You have a genuine sincerity in your reactions. It is refreshing to hear and see someone touched by a song and express how it affected him. Keep up the good work that you are doing, bringing these classics to a new generation.

[@jodavey7709]

Willie was old when he became popular ... a beautiful beautiful voice

[@zebulon8819]

The piano player is Willie's sister ✌️♥️"blue eyes crying in the rain" my favorite from him

[@solitarybee3714]

yes

[@lindabrewer3243]

Mac Davis, the writer of "In the Ghetto" and a million other songs, died today. He was 78. Complications from heart surgery he had. I hope you will honor him. He was awesome.

[@beedeegee9374]

Was so sad when the news came out. Helen Reddy died the same day. R.I.P.

[@jodavey7709]

Love love love Willie Nelson. "To All The Girls Ive Loved Before", "Stardust Memories"

[@traceyhindson2060]

If I'm ever having a bad day I watch your reactions and see your little face light up and I always smile.. thank you

[@darcisavelli546]

Willie Nelson has a distinguished voice and no person in this world could ever sound like him. One of a kind!

[@TheShannon681]

WIllie Nelsons Blue Eyes Crying IN the Rain.... amazing

[@phylliskranich2838]

Glad you back, missed your reviews. Your grandpa has great taste. Hope all is well with you, you seem so sad, and when you talk about past loves it brakes my ❤️

[@raedarden9830]

Willy's rendition always brings tears...so heartfelt. The lyrics; the melody. You WILL NOT find this in current "music".

[@joannecooper4592]

You are a sweet, kind man. Your grandparents must really be proud of you to keep suggesting such great songs! God Bless You.

[@laminage]

This was also sung by Elvis Presley which was a Love Song to his True Love Priscilla who divorced him after Six Years Of Marriage. She loved him but he was so wrapped up in his Career she felt that she was taking a back seat to him, his friends and most of all his Career.

[@yankeeladee02]

This song makes me CRY EVERY TIME I hear it. It’s beautiful and sooooo heartbreaking.❤️💔 Willie is a phenomenal singer, songwriter and activist. His son Lukas covers this song beautifully. He sounds so much like his Dad. He was the one behind the music of “ A Star is Born” with Bradley Cooper and Lady Gaga. He’s amazing in his own right. The duets with his Dad are priceless.💖 Lovin your fresh cut, JB 😊

[@catherinemccullough299]

I was privileged to see Willie in concert, he sang this, it was so beautiful. He also sang Mamas, Don’t let your babies grow up to be cowboys, my niece’s favourite song when she was little, great song!

[@louiemiller6469]

Love Willies version! My favorite Willie song - he's truly our TeXaS treasure! This songs been around awhile..I'm thinking even before Elvis - And it's still good today!

[@debbieepps7029]

Seven Spanish Angels with Ray Charles is a MUST!!!!! Love you're reactions, you remind me of my son. Genuine. Your Grandfather will always be with you.

[@tessasnow]

I’d forgotten how beautifully he sings...🖖🏻🇨🇦

[@suzanneprock7286]

Willie had a unique voice and he was an excellent songwriter. Many people re-recorded his songs, he was that good.

[@davidmaholchic6146]

Maybe one of the most iconic songs of all time wonderful wonderful love you

[@karolyn8644]

Thank you for reacting to Willie Nelson, a national treasure. His voice is so unique that it is recognizable in the first two notes. There is a really sweet video of Angelina Jordan getting very emotional when singing this song to honor her recently deceased grandfather.

[@StudeSteve62]

Your sense about Willie is probably right. He's had a tremendously long career as both a performer and a songwriter (for instance he wrote Patsy Cline's classic "Crazy"). He's famous for his fondness for cannabis, but hey, so was Louis Armstrong. And I have a feeling, James, that you'd particularly respect someone who was kind to animals. Willie, not long ago, rescued a slew of horses that were going to be euthanized and had them brought to his ranch to live out their days. Apparently that's just the sort of thing Willie does. He's well up there in years but still performing and recording as always. And he has put out several albums of big band era standards over the years, too, the first of which, in 1979, sparked a revival of interest in that music, leading to a number of other contemporary artists also recording that kind of material...

[@karenmaynard7999]

I love your reactions. You are a wonderful down to earth man with a beautiful heart. This song is special to me about a love long ago. It brings back tender memories for me. Keep up your awesome reviews. God bless. ☺

[@kellyjimenez8984]

You've got the biggest heart! Never loose that.💗

[@VogonPoet67]

I'm sure it's fake but I love the quote attributed to Willie: "I think youngsters need to start thinking about what kind of world they are going to leave for me and Keith Richards!"

[@yasminm7157]

Someone’s had a haircut I see 🥰 You’re looking so much better, sweetheart! Love the lyrics to this song, so poignant and heartfelt, about taking someone we love for granted. But letting them know they were still very much on our mind, perhaps we just didn’t verbalise our feelings enough. Great reaction xx

[@kennyanderson3264]

Willie Nelson writes amazing songs.

[@cnatview]

Thanks for the great request, Grampa! I've missed both you and James. Willie can always soothe the heart. "Angel Flying Too Close To the Ground" is another tender song from Willie. Happy to see ya back, James. Take care and be well. Peace. kzbin.info/www/bejne/eWSzc2SgjLRmlac

One of the biggest tear jerk songs ever

[@BigPete44]

What’s up James!! Great to see you on here and IG!!! 🙌💯👏✊

[@VanDiemensLair]

AOMM is a very deep song covered by many. I grew up first knowing and loving Elvis' version which was recorded in the aftermath of his divorce from Priscilla. Then Willie did his sublime version a decade or so later. I love both versions equally. Both of them did an amazing job with the song.

[@aeh8446]

Willie is classic, one and only!!! He and his son Lukas do a great cover of Pearl Jam's "Breath"... Can't think of a bad Willie tune!!! FWIW, this song has been covered by dozens of artists. Willie won an Emmy with it... Before recording, Willie's early success was via song writing, among the biggest of artists owe successful hits to Willie's writing...

[@deannasomerville4282]

Your grandpa and I share musical tastes, I thank him for keeping you on the journey

[@sadfaery]

I have to say, I absolutely cannot stand country music, but I LOVE Willie Nelson. He's such a great singer-songwriter, and I love his music and the work he's done more socially and politically, including his efforts with Farm Aid to raise money for struggling small farmers.

[@holyspacemonkey]

Willie Nelson is special, no doubt. I’m curious if you like Johnny Cash at all. Or Patsy Cline maybe?

[@sadfaery]

@@holyspacemonkey Some Johnny Cash and also Dolly Parton, but not a huge Patsy Cline fan.

[@holyspacemonkey]

B.C. I love Dolly! I have recently been listening to more of her early albums on Amazon Music. So talented!

[@teddylong2590]

Dude love your videos reactions so much . Did you know elvis and willie Nelson were given this song at the same time but at the time elvis version was always going to be bigger but willie sings it with so much heart !!

[@Blindsquirrel42]

Willie is an absolute legend. Grab his Red Headed Stranger album and listen from start to finish and just get caught up in the story. It will change your whole life.

[@elaineh7993]

This song reminds me of my ex. It came out while we were engaged. Willie did this song perfectly. I get sad every time I hear it. My ex would sing along with it, cos it fit him perfectly! Took me for granted! Love you! You are so nice and can't ever believe this song could be about any woman who is lucky enough to get you! Keep up the good work!!!💖

[@michellewilkins8206]

Have a listen to "Blue Skies, Smiling at Me" by Willie Nelson always makes me smile in a sad way. Btw, you're not soft for liking love songs, you just feel deeper & you know what you want from love. Wish there were more guys like you around when I was your age (about a 100 years ago 😄) instead of all the damn fools I found! 🤣🤣

[@cici7333]

Michelle, you're so right. I would have fallen so in love with James back then. He's a good man.

Hey James great to see you're back! Hope you're recovering well. There's a song I'd love you to react to but it's a difficult one to listen to, but important and much covered: Billie Holiday - Strange fruit. I'm sure your elder relatives will know it too.

Props to your Grandfather! Check out 'Whiskey River' or 'Mammas Don't Let Your Babies Grow up to Be Cowboys' by Willie. Elvis was singing to his recent ex-wife.

Songs of love will always go against the grain to the ones who would have us hate one another

The first song that my ex husband and I danced to the night we met, the marriage lasted 24 yrs (divorced), the song will live forever. I loved the Movie Honeysuckle Rose that he sang it in for the first time.

[@kellysmith3917]

Please react to George Michael! Suggest Praying for Time, Kissing a Fool, Cowboys and Angels, Waiting for the Day, A Different Corner, Mother’s Pride, Father Figure! You will want to go through his entire catalog if you give any one of these a chance! Passionate love songs!!!
