" She put him out like the burning end of a midnight cigarette" the best opening line ever. Allison has a angelic voice.

Really good reaction! Alison Krause is easily as famous as Brad Paisley. I've never heard them together before this, but they make an excellent duo.

This song and visuals kill me! 😭

I like Brad Paisley even though Im not a Country listener. And I liked your reaction. My ex was a (solid) metal guy, but he grew to love Brad P - maybe not primarily for the country niche, but for the awesome lyrics to his songs. The music too grew on him as he noticed this guy has his own style of writing and performing. Some of the stuff Brad P has done is so witty and funny (not in a nerdy was, but in a smart way) that we used to laugh out loud listening to him in the car. This is a really sad one. A nice one is "He didn't have to be" and a funny one is " Im gonna miss her". Give him a go - I think you'll appreciate what he brings to the table. Thanks - take care! :)

Beautiful song and a tragic story. As a military veteran I know this situation is all too common.

I like the story of the home remodel. I know someone who had been into drugs, but managed to pull away long enough to take a good hard look at this life. He decided to buy a Corvette so he wouldn't have money for the wrong things. Today he is happily married and his kids are all beyond high school. You just need enough strength to manage today. If you look at the road ahead, it will always seem too rough to survive.

In the era of the video, letters were the only method of communication and an unreliable one at best. She possibly had not heard from him and didn't know if he would be coming home. She could not forgive herself for what happened.

Finally, someone who understands military people do what they feel needs to be done. I spent 33 years in Air Force blue, 26 (1974-2000) active duty. I never served a day hoping I would be thanked but I accept that people tell me thanks. If they take the time to talk with me they will learn that I considered it both an honor and a privilege to do what I had to do.

They're buried next to one another, because they loved eachother.

No woman will ever understand what happens when you break a honest and loyal man's heart.

Talk about depressing and sad but beautifully sung and the video was done well. But man so sad

This does happen a lot. Lost a couple friends just like this.

Thank you so much Norse for checking this one out! I thought I would give you a fantastic country song (which I did) but I realize now that it really brings out feelings, all sorts of them... I was also pissed as hell in the beginning when I saw the video - but then, after a few spins, it made me think some more... Interesting end there, with the little girl turning her back to watch, does she represent and angel perhaps? A song that for me brought quite a few questions to myself. I really appreciate you channel and I thank you so much for doing a bit of (new) country! Alison has a lot to offer, as well as Brad. All the best for now, Anders

8th of november by big and rich has a similar vibe to this

😎👍

I'm a old vet folks we went through he'll and you gave us this f-y

The reason for the burials next to each other is that they are buried on their home property.

10 days after you posted this video, was my 1 decade from getting out of the Marines. Tomorrow I see a counselor. WAR IS HELL no matter where you are. Peace Love and Hair grease

10:06 I agree, but the guy was probably so messed up from what he went through during the war that he just gave up. Hoping to come home and live a peaceful life with the girl who made all those promises and arriving to that... very sad

Wife is always next to her husband, even in death

My dad told me a long time ago... a woman is only loyal to her feelings and emotions. And thats what i saw n this video and heard on this song.

For hot... Fender Game of Thrones. All great guitarists . Brad will surprise you

They were a married.

Most people have no idea how often this happens. And im speaking from when i was enlisted 20 years ago. It has to be 100x worse with all these new apps bitches have now. Heartbreaking song.

It definitely is weird to be thanked

brother, as a vet that went through it 2x while I was in military. I forgave 1 of them. How? I don't know. I guess I understood maybe what they went through when I was gone. I don't know. I'm with a wonderful woman that isn't either one of them. I guess neither one was worth me sticking with. My wife now is the best thing that ever happended to me. I guess I had to go through it all to snag the one I have.

trust me. it is weird. i feel weird when people thank me for my service...but i dont want to be rude so i just say thanks. but its always awkward.

Make your house look nice? Wow.

they were married &she was a widow and lets not forget about all the military guys who pick up prostitutes when overseas. you dont believe they were all single.

If you care look at all homeless vet's help us do something
