As a vet coming home from war. he was super happy to be home. When you are away in war, you can't even comprehend coming home. This is sureal for him even behing home from the horrors of war he experienced. While this was very special for him to come home to his love that he did expect to be there 100% for him. The face you saw and the head going down wasn't something he expected, but a reaction. He was more devistated than mad. Anger hadn't even came into his mind at that point. The idea that probably she was his reason for coming back, pushing on during war instead of giving up. The hurt was 100% worse that anger in this situation. Trust me, I know. They had to have had some great military advisement on this video.

When he gets home and walks upstairs I interpreted his emotions as PTSD. He was already so damaged he was just going through the motions and he saw her with another man, he couldn’t take anymore trauma and just walked out. Your take was very interesting!

That was Ricky Schroeder and the little girl at the end was his daughter. Loved the reaction!!!!

I always interpreted the video as he is very excited to see his wife again. He is pensive on the bus because he’s having flashbacks of war and maybe a little nerves in seeing his wife after so long. Also, the video is showing her ALMOST catching up to him. She’s never at the bars the exact moments he was. It was showing near-misses. She drives through the alleys just moments after he has walked down it. She drives by just a few seconds after he collapses drunk behind a car. Goes into the bar just after he’s been kicked out, etc. That’s the way I see it.

One of my favorites

You hit on a good one here I'll probably seen this 50 times every time I see something different it's amazing Brad Paisley and Alison krauss to the best I love your facial expressions they're awesome

Definitely holds up! If you did this one you have to does it hold up Thunder Rolls! Classic cheating song!

'Actions have consequences...' I'd like to add, 'Alcohol is NOT the answer'. It might make you feel good and forget for a while, but the problem is still there after the drinking is done. GET HELP PLEASE!!! Talk to a family member, a friend, a therapist, a support group, a clergyman, SOMEONE! THERE IS HELP OUT THERE...FIND IT!!! You are worth it! 🥰🥰🥰🥰 I LOVE this song (karaoke go-to, and yes, I sing both parts 😉). Great reaction!!

All because "She couldn't wait to start a family." Great vocals. The problem is that if they couldn't forgive each other in life, they aren't going to do it after, nor will they get rid of their addiction, they just won't be able to feed it. Always craving for the rest of eternity.

I literally have a playlist for when I feel like I need to cry: This one, Bagpipes Crying, One Voice top the list.

Brad..of course he was Exited. you can see that as he enter the house. But as you could tell from the start of the video, the war left him with painful memories. This is strong video with Great acting from both. You feel the impact and all he had to through in the war. And then the regret and suffering by being apart, from both of them. It is just a great story and acting.

Definitely holds up even if a sad story but love the song and Brad Paisley and Alison Krause fantastic singers

You had me at "Actions have consequences". I subscribed because I love your ethics, sir.

Btw, this was my homecoming post OIF. Single for life, no trust left

Its not that he wasn't excited to be home, part of him was still on the battlefield, so numbed by death and pain that his reaction was as well

were you not watching the video? she was LOOKING for him, he was behind a car - she drove up and looked in the alleyway, he walked down the alleyway - she was running behind him, he was causing a ruckus in the bar and got thrown out - she was looking in the bar as he got thrown out and missed. she WAS looking for him

She was at the places, but they were showing that she was chasing after him, she only just missed him every time

Ah yeah. It holds up. I mean COME ON. Great vid as always Brad. Just an aside, really pulling for you and your Dad for the Dove award. Getting a nomination says a lot but a win would be nice too. Take care all.

When they are at the bar he gets thrown out before she sees him. She's looking for him to try to talk to him

While in the bar she was looking for him but they had just taken him out so she missed him

At the time that this was set, letters were all the communication that was available and it was unreliable at best. Maybe she hadn't heard from him and thought that he wasn't coming back. She could not forgive herself for destroying him and their relationship.

I love watching you reactions to some of my favorite songs. You should react to easy on me cover by the sharpe family singers.

Believe Brooks & Dunn

When he “sees” her at the bar, she’s not actually there, it’s all in his mind,

If you haven't done it yet, need to do Concrete Angel by Martina McBride.

She had tried to reach out to him but the hurt was too deep for him to face so the bottle won out.

I'd like to see you react to some metal! Check out Dream Theater - Take Away my Pain Killswitch Engage - The Signal Fire Trivium - Shogun Alestorm - Cannonball

This is WW2 nothing like today, nobody knew anything about anything, a letter if it could be written and received, a telegram for the dead and missing and that was hit and miss. Thousands died and most stayed where they fell, no coming home for a funeral then. Gone for 4 to 5 years not months, no leave, this could be understood, she didn't know whether he was dead or alive and certainly not that he was coming home. Nowadays there's no excuse, but then yes. Then it was compulsory, no joining up voluntarily with pay, you went, there was no getting out of it...

My thoughts of the afterlife. If you believe in an eternal paradise after death, how do you reconcile the fact that you still fear death and mourn the loss loved ones? What is 70 to 100 years compared to eternity? Do you remember what it was like before you were born? No you do not, because you know for a fact on an unconscious level that death is the end of your existence.

Here's another song by Alison Krauss it's my very favorite from her... kzfaq.info/get/bejne/payYkqh_3ZvblWg.html It's called Looking Through The Eyes Of Love

My husband drank himself to death a few years ago and I almost died of alcoholism a year later yet I'm still here for some reason, and I don't want to be. Why is he gone instead of me?

She’s not really there. It’s all in his head. She crush him.

An you react to smoke slow by Joshua Bassett

Good reaction but I think they were trying to portray what was and at the end what could have been hence the daughter.

This song is so heart-ripping and sad. It will always hold up over time because people will and do horrifically drink themselves to death, especially in the U.S. where we collectively have a drinking problem. So sad. I've known two people who did exactly that, drank so much over time that it killed them.

I watched the video just now, before coming back to your reaction. I noticed something. In the photo where she’s holding him, he’s holding tighter than she is and she looks emotionless. Like she doesn’t really love him as much as he loves her.

That was not her he was seeing her in a random woman

Where's the TOOL reactions Brad?

Oi

This is how Satan deceives people with these happy after death scenes, when in reality, if their lives are that messed up, they most likely didn't have a relationship with Jesus that would get them into that happy afterlife. They went from a life of hell on Earth to the real thing. You are correct, this is a powerful song! P.S. Congratulations and good luck on the Dove Award nomination!

The fact that Nashville pushed music like this aside for the dog crap it is pumping out now is unforgivable.
