They just don't make them like we used to

Respect your Dad.

Sorry for your loss.

He must have been one hellavu daddy,God speed.

Im so sorry

How a mom could leave her kids don't know how she could do that I two sons I would never leave them

She’s missing out. Prayers to you all!

My dad was gone but not may his chosre he died when I was 12 from cancer

@@sylasdouglas6599 stfu no one cares

Only the real old country fans:)

@@marksneddeker6818 Dan Seals used to be England Dan with John Ford Coley. He's great.

Or Rodriguez

I envy you that.

Perhaps you are confusing some county fair.... but, the Montana State Fair is held in Billings. No mountains anywhere within site.

@@Frieghtliner1975 wow geography major are you? Must be a good “heavy hauler”!! Skid steer, maybe a backhoe on that 24 foot “heavy haul” trailer huh

@Shane Woods . Born and raised in Montana. So yeah, I know the state. Weird how my profession and where I grew up triggered you. Let me guess... your boyfriend has a crush on a local trucker ?

@@Frieghtliner1975 uhhhhh let me think about this for a min……..let’s see, 2 tours in Iraq and 2 tours in Afghanistan with the United States Army, held a cdl since 1992 and have hauled heavy equipment and flatbed while I was stateside since then. No not triggered and no boyfriend, same wife for 24 years and 2 sons as well. One wants to drive a truck for a living but you are the reason I’m trying to tell him to stay away from MY profession. I appreciate your reply and the way you judged right off the bat, makes me happy that me and many many others actually stayed away from our family for 2-3 years at a time for those fine people such as yourself. Be safe driver keep the rubber side down

no kidding. he was an unused talent for sure.

Agreed

I got to see him twice in concert. Loved it.

Bro you got that right. This is one of those songs that you actually feel what he's singing. I don't know the backstory but I'm willing to bet that this song was based off a personal experience of his. Ain't know way you just write this, this way, outta just creativity if you understand what I mean.

Oh man, I got to agree 100% on this...he sang out some hits when competing against many many other greats in the 80s.

AMEN, thank you.

You are right, but men too. Not all men are/could be amazing husbands and fathers. My father is the perfect example of this. 22 years of marriage (now my mom is leaving him) and 20 years as a parent, and he is still mean, abusive and sexist. I'm better off without him. You, instead, seem like an amazing man and dad, and I'm sure your daughter is happy to have you.

@@LucyQ-ew6zp oh definitely. Lots of terrible parents out there. People should have to complete some sort of class or something before they're allowed to procreate.

Kid across the rode from me has 2 moms as parents and the one whose the more motherly wasnt even born a woman I don't think. The "father" one had surgery to be a guy (like up top reduction surgery) and he, she, her what TF ever, looks like a lil pretty @ss flat chested college chick still. Talk about needing classes to procreate. They need thorough mental evaluations before just my couple can adopt. I feel for that lil boy and he keeps coming cross the road talking to me wanting to play catch lol. I put him up a basketball goal I fixed up out the trash. It's kinda like nature has him gravitating towards a real man and boyish things if you feel me. I can tell he prolly gets picked at in school cause he gets off the bus looking all sad n sht. Its gonna be hard for the lil fella when he gets older but hopefully tictok and social media in general, don't end up brainwashing him like his weirdo parents. They pushing that crap on lil kids and it ain't right. To me if someone wants to be gay or whatever they call all that stuff then just be gay or be no sex or two sexes if ya want, just leave the God blessed little kids out of it til they mature. And ny teacher that wants to throw a fit on tictok cause they can't tell a little 5 year old about their sex life, outta be removed from it just schools but society in general. They can have all the fun they want in prison. Them long term felons in there would appreciate it too. Edit): I didn't mean to go off and write a whole book there and I'm sorry if I offend anybody that reads this but what I said is the truth and whoever the weirdo big city latte liberal is that reads this and report me, You know I'm right on what I said. Prolly be some new York overpaid weakling that thinks since he got surgery that his tits can produce milk now and he can have periods too. #morementalhealthcheckups

I raised my daughters after their mom left us. I feel your pain. And your joy.

@@dyackman That actually is rather a good idea!

Omg....Just Beautiful!! God Bless you and your family.!✝️

💗

Hang in there buddy, you will be paid back the day you walk your little girl down the aisle.

You are a better man for that. I have two daughters and truly the best thing we can do as fathers is to set a good example for them, so they know what a good man is when its time for them to choose. Stay strong Dad, being a father is not for the weak.

Oh I understand my friend. Mine are 18 and 17 now. Eventually they figure things out. You have to say it. Daughters are precious. I've been crying all week because of graduation this weekend. I can't let go its so hard. Treasure every minute.

Deep breathe Dad it's about her still ❤ you are a good man.

He sure did. I remember listening to his music on the radio and tv. I saw him in person at a concert he had here in Hutchison Kansas back in 1994

This song is the one that made me fall in love with country music.

❤️ so much truth in your statement.

great job dad!!

You will do fine, my daughter is going through the same. Just the other way around. God Bless.

you got this dad!

So sorry Wayne, hope you are doing well my friend. Songs like this always helped me, and I hope it helps you too.

Don't over think it!!! They will always have you and you will always have them!!

😞

I kne men that were abandoned by the mother of their children and raised them on their own - the mothers never returned - make that four men - incredibly sad - but the fathers and the children made out okay - hats off to all of you that have suffered this profound tragedy.

Wow, I can see why this song is so special to you. Your life is the same as the song. Despite everything deep inside, you still love her, and that's ok. Thanks for sharing your story with us.

Great songs, which of his songs would you say is your most favorite ?

Dont wait for him to see this. Walk right up and tell him ... tmrw is never promised

@@franka8888 Amen to that..

2024 💖

Same bro! :)

I was born in 1993 but I love 80s music. Best musical generation for sure.

I sure was around in the 80's and it was an awesome musical generation. You're spot on.

2022

The 80s is country gold in my book. Late 70s cosmic cowboy stuff is great too

Sorry about that

I hope you still have your precious daddy. Don't you know your momma would be so proud of him. God bless you, honey.

@@sharonhall6951 you have a beautiful heart Sharon I wish I can get to meet you❤

My daughters call me daddy, your comment truly touched my heart. Anytime you are in rough patch your ma has her hand on your shoulder, but I'm sure you know that already. God bless you and your daddy.

I'm sorry for ur loss my prayers are with you

And the single Moms! It's just as hard for them. Great parents come in both genders. So do deadbeats.

i learned most people in america at least dont know pain or loss. that is why so many seek drama out, on tv and in their personal lives. women especialy love to create drama....

bill hargrave Man that's amazing! A heart as big as his voice!

Great story

That's cool Bill.

met him in Jamestown ND talk to him after the show. great guy

Being a strong man has more to do with how tightly you hold up those around you than it is about how hard you can hit someone. Being a bold man has more to do with how soft your heart can be to those who love you than it does with how tough you appear on the outside. Being a man has everything to with love and nothing to do with hate. Thanks for sharing that story. Sounds like he was a good man!

You are vey lucky dear ,I wish my dad was still alive too

Hello friend, how are you doing today??

Moparmainiac I have heard , and my ears bleed and heart breaks. However there are memories, and, Some Memories just Wont Die😊

+Alchemie Helms the country music out today isn't junk, it just caters to a different audience, which is unfortunately what the masses seem to want today, pity since I also think they're missing out on great music like this. It just a soothing, feel good nostalgia to it. :)

+Alchemie Helms okay, now what song is this , on the tip of my tongue - some memories just won't die?

Ellie Larocque song by, Marty Robins, some memories just won't die , its an awesome classic country song:)

+J Bsea like a country pop music

I lost my wife and three children with something that glitters

Yep yep

God bless you

driverain2 i love it so much

PRECISELY

Totally does

Awsome

And it is the truth! Dan knew a good song when he heard it. He died way before his time.

In mine too brother!

Dill Chives same

Me too

You have a beautiful heart

Me too

Same here

I'm sorry to hear that Bro.

Mark & Judy Meadows sorry for that I am going through the process of my favorite horse

Hello Tanya how are you doing hope you’re having a great time with your family may God bless you and your family

Dan gave us live and his music and then his father called him.. Beautiful Angel. Dan Seals your music will live on

Single father of two beautiful daughters for the same reason as yours, and I'll be damned if we didn't pull it off in blue ribbon style. Yes, this song does mess with my head too, but the past no longer matters for any of us, we have each other and our futures, and five grand children to keep us busy as hell; Best of wishes my friend.

steven hewitt I'm proud of the dads that stood up and took care of their children when the moms abandon them

Patrick Reamy I'm not in that situation but it messes me up also

Patrick Reamy God Bless You.

We need more dads like u man god bless u 😢🙏🏻

Hello friend, how're you doing today?

Scott Burger Saw a tee-shirt the other day that described this perfectly. "I'm not getting old. Your music really does suck."

Scott Burger not just pop they are putting rap into country also

nedyost63 its corporate country, what the record producers want, not whats from the heart.

Honestly I kinda feel bad for some of today's singers. I hear some of their stories, and they're not like the songs they sing. I get the feeling that those guys want to put out some traditional Country, but it's gotta be in the Bro Country format for them to make any money out of it. Sad, but true.

Luke combs is pretty talented

Hello friend, how're you doing today?

I definitely understand where you are coming from brother.

Hello friend, how are you doing today?

The best for country ❤

Me. Awesome

Me too, Great Song !

I can't just get enough of Seal's sultry delivery and awesome lyrics. Moreover, his trademark voice sets him apart from other country singers. He is one of the greatest American country singers - He lives on.

I'm here

@@anthonypirtle5687 Great

I was named after this song as well. It’s funny though my dad named me after this song but my mom is the one that was always there. He was too but he did things that a husband/father shouldn’t. So I turn it around and sing it to him instead of my mom.

God Bless you guys.

Ron Watson Thanks Ron! It's been a hard couple months but I'm coping now better than I was. it's hard losing a pet you've had for quite a long time. It sucks man.

Ron Watson awww you might have made me cry again, but this time it's not sad tears. Thank you for lifting my spirits Ron. I appreciate it. 💙

jjj023 You are definitely right about that one. I just wish our pets were able to live as long as us. Haha. I'm just so glad she's not in anymore pain. Seeing her struggle to walk was just as heartbreaking as letting her go. So knowing that she isn't hurting anymore helps me cope with it better. On the plus side, I just got another Palomino almost 2 weeks ago and her name is Charlotte. She's 4, looks almost exactly like my Penelope, and I Couldn't be happier.❤

I have a palimno had him seence I was 4 I'm now 12

Losing a pet is the worst, I'm glad you have a new horse! The new horse can't replace the one that passed, but it is the next animal that needs you....

Ja stimmt. Grüsse aus Deutschland

+Big Tex I understand. It just tears my heart out to lose a faithful animal. Most people don't know how important or how meaningful they are. I love my animals, they are my livelihood and i protect them.

try listening to feed Jake buy the Pirates of Mississippi

+Big Tex yes animals hold a big part in my hart sorry for your loss

If you can get through that without tearing up,you have no soul.

It's been over 40 years since I lost my beloved Julie. She was the most precious dog I've ever known and the part about Ole Red gets me every time.

Hello Denise 👋

Hello Denise how are you doing hope you’re having a great time with your family may God bless you and your family

Welcome to my World Kasey....thank you for sharing your story....AMEN!!!!!!!!!

Life is a twisted road. You think you have the right one and then you end up on the side of the road stranded, alone, and out of your mind. The kicker she never cared to begin with.
