Finally, a reactor that knows the symbolism of A Wreath on the Door.

My wife of 24 years passed away a year ago this past November. The last words I got to speak to her were the first line of this song," I'll love you till I die". I live this song every day of my life and seeing your reaction to this really got me. Thank you for doing this reaction

Hallelujah, Harry ! You got the meaning of this song immediately. Ive watched some other reactors and the meaning went right over their heads or they didn’t listen to the lyrics properly. You gave this song the respect it deserves. Thank you.

You are the first person who actually understood the lyrics. He said he'd love her until he died and that's what he did so he finally stopped loving her 😭😭😭😭😭😭

I knew what was coming, and I still cried.

RIPJones

When I was a young man I keep my emotions bottled up inside, now I'm in my early 60's and my eye's start leaking in a heartbeat at the good old song's.......

George Jones is the only person who can sing that song....... That background vocal makes it even sadder.

George Jones makes you feel every word he sings. My favorite voice.

If uou ever loved with your whole being and lost it it can't be replaced

Thats the king of country right there george jones the king of country music

The very first line tells you all. "He said I'll love you till I die"

I’ve watched the younger generations react to this song and some of them get it, but most of them it goes right over their head. They don’t realize that the reason he stopped loving her was because he died.

My sister came to visit me with her husband from Germany. On the way back from Dallas to were we lived this song came on. She didn't understood English, but she broke out crying hearing his voice the first time. She had me translate the song and she sobbed and sobbed. Before they returned to Germany she bought several C/W music songs, specially this one. She also liked George Strait and Allan Jackson and several more artists. A few years later my sister died a horrible death. Cancer ate up her body and she was in horrible pain. She died screaming, but my brother-in-law told me that she died playing George Jones song. He doctor came to her house and gave her injections of a very strong pain medication. Her illness was to far gone in her and her doctor couldn't stand the agony she suffered any longer. When she begged for another shot he gave her her last one. He knew her heart couldn't handle that very strong pain medication. He released her from her suffering. My brother-in-law told me that she had George Jones playing with this song as she was dying. I flew home for her funeral. My sister was a much liked person in that Village were she lived. She was always kind to everybody. The whole Village including her doctor attended her funeral. Her doctor was crying and tried to explain to me what happen. I thanked him for his kindness releasing my sister from her unbearable suffering. In America I was waiting for my passport. My old one had expired. I was a nervous wreck not knowing if I get it in time to attend her funeral. The same day I was waiting for my passport, my beloved German Shepherd had to be taken to the Veterinarian. She could not walk anymore without help. She had gotten a giant growth in her belly. I actually thought that she got herself pregnant. I was at work waiting to hear from the post office about my passport when the phone rang. It was the Veterinarian telling me my beloved pet had to be put down. My dog had cancer in the 4th state and could not be saved. The Vet told me she was suffering very bad. I could not go and hold my dog while they put her to sleep. She died without me holding her. I felled like a Zombie and could barely function. Finally the Post office brought me my passport. I just made it to Germany. My sister was already death for 3 days. They could no longer wait, they had to bury her. I never shed one tear at her funeral. Her whole grave was covered in flowers. My brother-in-law said had I giving her one flower a day there would be so much room left to cover her grave. He had rented a hall and after the funeral everybody went there. There were very long tables put together to seat everybody. When a waitress asked me what I wanted from the menu, I broke down. I sobbed and sobbed for my sister and my beloved dog who had to die without me holding him. Before long everybody was crying. It became the most emotional day of my life. Of course no one knew I was also grieving for my dog. After I returned to the States, my husband had buried her in a beautiful box on our land under a tree. Foe weeks I got up every night because I thought I heard my dog barking. I laid a ball on her grave and told her to play with it when she got lonely Shortly after that I didn't hear her calling me with her barking. That was one of my saddest month in my life.

"All dressed up to go away..." Says it all. R.I.P. George Jones.

This sir is considered to be one of the top 5 country songs ever written! Classic country music actually tells you a story and is normally based on real life experiences...They don't make them like they used to anymore.

This is the greatest Country and Western song ever written.

Harry it's ok to cry my husband cries it means you got a tender heart God bless

Country music is always a true life story for someone, somewhere. That's the beauty of it.

The cry in his voice just gives me goosebumps!

MR. Alan Jackson payed a great homage to George at his funeral playing this. I was fortunate enough to see both of those artists together almost 20 years ago.

Next time you are in a quiet bar order a nice shot of Wild Turkey with a beer chaser and maybe light up a cigarette and just feel that emotion of some great Traditional Country sung by the one and only George Jones! You know they don't make guys loyal like the guy in this song. Those men who graduated high school at 18 were married with families by age 20 and worked their fingers to the bones in factories and shops for 35 or more years raised kids. If it failed they stayed loyal till the bitter end. Hats off to the old school real men.

It's a true story. That's Country ya'll.

Sad songs outsell happy songs 10 to 1. George Jones had the finest country voice ever. I doubt another country singer will ever be able to touch his gifted voice. George Jones' terrible childhood seared pain deep in his soul. That combined with a God gifted voice gives us all the best in country singers. RIP George Jones.

Thank you for being a reactor, who listens to the lyrics. So many who react to this song, totally miss the point. Great job, as always.

Maya Angelou once said “This song tells the story of unrequited love in a little more than three minutes, better than some four thousand page novels do. “

If you hear a song that doesn't make you smile laugh or cry it's just a poem. I lost my wife a few years ago. I won't stop loving her until I'm gone

Can't help thinking how closely this parallels the love between George and Tammy. George Jones was a legend and always will be. I hope he finds the peace now he never did in life.

Country Artist don’t “want” to make you cry. Country is real life, the good, the ugly. Just Life.

Widely considered the best country song of all time. The story is great, but also Jones' voice and style brings that beautiful sadness.

I will love him til my last day!! I will die with a broken heart 💔

Congrats! Someone who actually saw the meaning of the song! :-) And, btw, I'm 71, heard it a thousand times and tear up every time!

I can never listen to this song casually it's always a punch in the stomach 🖖

Everyone wants to be loved like that. So the song is beautiful, but no one wants to love like that and lose the person they love.

Mr. Jones did another song called "Who's gonna fill their shoes" and when I finished listening to it I wondered who's going to fill his shoes. One song with the history of Country music in it.

Best country song ever! Great Rraction!

Harri George Jones was married to and sang together with the beautiful Tammy Wynette. (The Love of His Life) She divorced him and even took his band when she left. He always put on a good face although you could see it in his eyes that he never got over her. He always said this song was not about her, but everyone knew it was.

B.B. King called country music "the white man's blues". He wasn't wrong. But it is a story form of blues for EVERYONE to enjoy.

Legendary country songwriter Harlan Howard, when asked what was special about country music, was quoted as saying "It's 3 chords and the truth!"

Hey, HarriBest Music Reaction! You got it... You picked a good one. This is the greatest country song ever written... recorded by George Jones. Thank you for your heartfelt reaction.

"Three chords and the truth". This song fits the definition of country music.

Unlike others, you get it sir! Well done.

George Jones is talking about he stopped Loving her today because he passed away he thought of her every day of his life until the day he went to heaven

Greatest country song of all time

Please watch Vince Gill and Patty Loveless singing Go Rest High Upon that Mountain at George Jones" funeral.

I love your reactions and that you " listen" and get the music. Many hear but don't listen. You are so refreshing. Thank you

You may not have country roots, but you got that country soul. You get it.

The ultimate country song !

The KING of bad news! 🐐 JONES

The saddest, & greatest, Country song ever.

Hauntingly beautiful song. RIP GJ.

The smile was by the undertaker, the wreath by the florist, and he was carried away by the pallbearers. Some really really Southern, old-timey expressions. I didn't get it for years, being born in '64. Those expressions belong more to my granny's generation.

I’m so glad you understood the meaning of the song. That is what makes the song so sad and beautiful. I’ve recently watched a few reactions and couldn’t believe it totally went over their heads that he died.

I've heard this song hundreds of times and ball every time. I think actors use this song to cry on demand. I know I could.

I can't listen to this song without getting emotional, and I'm not a big George Jones fan. But this song just gets me every time. You are a cool guy, Harri!

When this was a hit, I played it in my Country Band.

This song transcends. Those of us lucky enough to be with our soul mates even know that no one gets out alive.

You should watch "Who's Gonna Fill Their Shoes". Full of pics and memories of the founders of country music. You would appreciate it.

The other comments that said you are one of the few reactors out there that really listened and truly got the meaning.LOVED your reaction stay well young man.

So many of these reactors are too caught up in their theatrics to really LISTEN. I'm glad you did. Music has a message...

Awesome reaction. . you understood he died... that's why he stopped loving her

Don't feel bad Harri. This song always hits me in the feels every time. Its okay to shed a manly tear when you hear the song.😉

You should react to his tribute concert. He's at the stage in his coffin and all the stars are breaking up while singing it's unbelievably sad. Alan Jackson, Charlie Daniels, Travis Tritt and Patti Loveless and Vince Gill are 4 absolute killers but you might want to watch them alone as you'll bawl 😭

Such a tear jerker of a song.

I totally agree!! I have seen so many reactions to this song where they don't!! Thank you!!

You have just reacted to the greatest country singer of all time performing the most Iconic song he ever made. Just amazing

A true love song.

One of the most expressive voices in music " .

That harmonica is killing it !!

I am 64 and when I was a child they placed a wreath on the door when someone died. I guess I thought people knew.

I loved your reaction!!! When they first brought this song to George Jones, he didn’t want to record it because he said it was so damn sad that nobody would buy the record. 😂. He was right about the sadness, but wrong about it selling.

Yes it gets me like that too, every time.

never a dry eye after this song....

So sad, he finally passed away. No more pain ❤️🙏

Saddest song ever written.

Best review ever, thanks Harri.

Beautifully sad song. We all need sad songs too tho.

Great songs come from life's stories. Not so many stories anymore, it seems. Well done commentary on the song.

Beautiful. 🎶🎶🎶🎶😔😔💕💕

Harri, Thank you You’re for real, And I dig that! God Bless Wonderful job

As Waylon said,If We could all sound like we wanted to,we'ld all sound like George Jones

The mother of all beer drinking songs RIP possum 🙏♥️

A masterpiece in storytelling. The country and western musicians are in a league of their own when it comes to that.

My wife passed away 24 years ago she was only 47 I'm now 76 and still single

Thank you for a great reaction

This song pulls the heart out of your chest, stomps on it and puts it back in..

Country music will hit you right in the heart where we all live

I woke up at 2:07am, and watched you do this reaction to one of my favorite people of All times. His voice is wonderful and the songs he sings,is always telling you a story. This is one of his best, I haven't heard it in awhile. Thank you so very much for understanding this beautiful song. Life doesn't always have a happy ending.

Possibly the best country music song in history. George IS THE MAN! BB King sang a song, nobody loves me but my mother, and she could be jivin too. Can't get much sadder than THAT!

Bravo Harri! You actually got the song. Your the first reactor I've seen that understood he stopped loving her because he died.

For every single nuance of being in or out of love, there is probably a country song that covers it. This cannot be said about any other form of music in the world.

Really good review. I mean, the song won't crush you by itself, then George's voice just penetrates your whole being.

Country music pulls at your heart strings. ☮️

One misunderstood thing about county music is it makes you sad. Wrong. It makes you feel.

You MUST react to Alan Jackson's performance of this song at George Jones's funeral!! He and Alan were close, close friends. It will definitely get to you!!🙏💙🙏

Still miss him.

The ultimate "Beer & a Tear" song...

George Jones does do some really fun songs too.

So sad it gives me chills, and I’m not even a country music fan.

Good morning man cries it's gorgeous because it shows they have a lot of heart and a lot of feeling inside you can never be too hard when it comes time to lose someone you know it's all going to come down there's nothing wrong with a man that cries them are good men because they don't cover up their feelings
