Great song, Ms Sushi. I got to witness some of this. My father was killed in Vietnam in 1967. I was 5 years old. My mom remarried a remarkable man and they are still together today. After I was grown, I got invited to attend a reunion of my dad’s unit from Vietnam, the 187th AHC. Over the years, I was able to attend several and get to know a bunch of the guys that flew with my dad. They were some of the kindest men I’ve ever known. And we would all drink a beer to remember my dad.

Paint me a Birmingham, please, one of the best written songs I have ever heard

Tracy Lawrence - Find out who your friends are. it is an amazing song

Also Letters From Home - John Michael Montgomery

Tracy Lawrence has so many great songs!!

Sushi, your reactions are great! Tracy Lawrence's song paint me a Birmingham is a great, great song! Would love to see you react to it!

I Loved Her First - Heartland!!!

June , 1968. I was leaving for Vietnam. I had a cherry '57 Pontiac Star Chief, white over burgundy. I gave the keys to my best friend, Steve. I said "It's yours , dude, 'cause I ain't comin back " He laughed. Well, I did make it back, … and Steve tried to give it back to me. But I said "It's yours , dude. It's a done deal." used my discharge pay to buy a Dodge Power Wagon... been driving Pickup trucks ever since...

You give so much thought into these reactions. I love how you allow yourself to be vulnerable because that’s the spot where you can really enjoy country.

Semper fi RIP to all my brothers and sisters who have payed the highest price. God touch each family that lost them.

SUSHI I am proud to have served you and all the American people in this great country. God Bless The USA.

Lost a few friends in combat and we all think alike. Don't Cry, Have a shot and keep pushing forward. Respect Sushi for taking on these emotional songs. Still looking forward to seeing you laugh to Rodney Carrington!

first time I heard this song was a week before I shipped for bootcamp we were drinking and laughing and it came on and like a light switch everyone got really quite

I'm so glad that he was able to find his way back after fighting his demons. He's got an amazing voice and he has shown, since he won his battles, just how big his heart is.

I love how you listen to music with your emotions.

I love how his story places the soldier at home with his friends so people outside the service can relate to him. Beautiful song.

Love you girl. Every time I need to shed a tear i go to your reviews. It makes me smile. Thank you

SOME GAVE SOME AND OTHERS GAVE ALL. THANK YOU SUSHI YOU HAVE A BEAUTIFUL HEART. ❤

Tracy is another underrated artist, very unique voice yet recognizable. My favorite song which takes me back to my life: Time Passes On.

First time I heard this my battalion was deployed. I was part of the remain behind element, the guys that didn't deploy. I had several friends that had deployed and sadly one didn't make it back. This is always a powerful and moving song for me to hear. Semper Fidelis to all my fellow Marines.

I love Tracy Lawrence he sure can make you get in your feels.

Amazing song and your reaction was perfect. I can listen to his music over amd over.

I wasn’t ready that had me bawling

Mark Wills Don't Laugh at Me was ahead of its time about bullying

This song hits home for me personally. Having had a very similar conversation with friends, then having to come home and take care of my battle buddies widow. God Bless TooSushi love your reactions!

React to Daryle Singletary I Let Her Lie. We lost him recently and he was a big part of the 90's country boom.

Beautiful song and great reaction! As always much love and respect!

One of my favorite artist and one of my favorite songs ever,very powerful and makes you think about someone who's probably faced with that situation.I couldn't imagine!!

I heard this song at a friend of mine’s funeral, he died in Afghanistan, best believe me and the guys did everything he asked us to do if he died. RIP brother, will never forget you

Little Texas What Might Have Been is the greatest love letter to a past love

Music's power is its ability to tell stories and mimic emotion, I don't bash you for being a Mumble rap fan, I'm just glad to see that you're venturing out and finding music that has a moving message, it makes you feel, and that's what I love music for, as a sculptor im often jealous my medium can't move people the way music can, it's part of us on some fundamental level.

What a memory, getting back up, somebody who would die for you all by Tracy Lawrence

I really enjoy your videos, you are a kind and gentle spirit...Thankyou.

Tracy has a great voice! Thanks for the reaction! 💕🍣Sushi Nation!!

Love the fact that you are experiencing COUNTRY music.There are lot of fine artists out there...ENJOY. Your very oid friend from FLORIDA😎👽

It wont be like this for long- darius rucker. I know u vibe to him. U will appreciate this one

As many in the comments have suggested “Paint Me A Birmingham” is a MUST listen to song.

Yeah, me too!! Can't seem to hold them back. My youngest went to Afghanistan, I couldn't think about anything else for a year. He made it home, but about 2 weeks after he was home his unit was hit and they lost over half the guys my son knew. He held it in side, but that kind of guilt doesn't just go away. After about 2 years being home everything started to fly apart. He finally got help and what a difference when you can put a tragedy like that in it's proper place and not feel quilty for not being there. Anybody that thinks war is a fun thing, has never been in one. This song reminds me of that.

Such a beautiful song and thank so much for your genuine reactions. I would love to share with you a Chinese singer/song writer Hua Chenyu. His music is very unique and different, he oftens not only sing you a song, his way of portrays emotions is insane. Please check out Hua Chenyu "Child" and "Ordinary Path" from Singer 2018.

“Someone sho would die for you” -Tracy Lawrence.

Tracy Lawrence "What a Memory" Tough for me to hear °~°

I'm a music fan of many different types of music especially country music but I had never heard this song before. Thank you for doin a reaction to it. Be blessed and keep doin what you do.

Quick shout out to all you new country fans... First of all, welcome to my world. I am super glad you're here!!! I was country when country wasn't cool and I a city kid to boot. If there's any questions about county music, I'm here for ya! Country music is best when you're sitting on the tailgate of a pickup truck around a campfire but when you can't do that , I advise watching the videos rather than the live performances. They are both wonderful still the videos give you a little more insight into the care of the music. I love watching your reaction videos keep doing what you're doing thank you!!!

love this reaction!

I would love to see you react to Carrie Underwood and Vince Gill- How Great Thou Are

I honor those that made the ultimate sacrifice. As a Vietnam veteran with 24 yrs. of service, I realize how fortunate I have been.

God bless our deployed troops who won't be home for Christmas. A poem: "A Soldier's Christmas" T’was the night Before Christmas, he lived all alone, In a one bedroom house made of plaster and stone, I had come down the chimney with presents to give And to see just who in this home did live, I looked all about, a strange site did I see, No tinsel, no presents, not even a tree, No stockings by the mantle, Just boots filled with sand, On the wall hung pictures of far distance lands. With Medals and badges, Awards of all kinds, A sober thought came through my mind. For this house was different, it was dark and dreary, I had found the home of a soldier once I could see clearly I heard stories about them, I had to see more So I walked down the hall and pushed open the door.The solider lay sleeping, silent, alone, Curled up in this, His one bedroom home. The face was so gentle, the room in such disorder Not how I pictured a United States Solider.Was this the War Hero of whom I’d just read? Curled up on a poncho, the floor for a bed? His head was clean shaven, his weathered face tan, I soon understood this was more than a man. I realized the families that I saw this night Owed they’re lives to these soldiers who were willing to fight. Soon round the world the children would play And grownups celebrate a bright Christmas day. They enjoyed freedom each month of the year, Because of these soldiers like the one lying here. I couldn’t help wonder how many lay alone On a cold Christmas Eve, in a land far from home. The very thought brought a tear to my eye Dropped to my knees and started to cry. The Soldier awakened and I hear a rough voice, “Santa don’t cry, this is my life my choice: I fight for freedom, I don’t ask for more My life is my god, my country my Corps.” The Solider rolled over and soon drifted to sleep I couldn’t control it I started to weep. I kept watch for hours. So silent and still And we both shivered from the cold nights chill. I took off my jacket, the one made of red, And I covered this Soldier from his toes to his head. And I put on his T-shirt of gray and black, With an eagle and an Army patch embroidered on back. And although it barely fit me, I began to swell with pride, And for a shining moment, I was United States Army deep inside. I didn’t want to leave on that cold dark night, This guardian of honor, so willing to fight. Then the Solider rolled over with a voice soft and pure, Whispered, “Carry on Santa, Christmas Day is Secure”One look at my watch and I knew he was right Merry Christmas my friend and to all a good night. - James M. Schmidt, 1986

Really cool to see her watch this.. I hope people will start to get along and care for one another.. We Americans of ALL colors should love each other and be grateful for all of the men and women of all colors that gave their lives for our freedoms. We need to be more grateful for what we were given.. William Knight

beautiful reaction!

Where was I when I first heard this song? Sitting here watching your video 😂 And I've actually sat on the visitor's side and cheered for my school at a home game. They looked at us weird....

I saw Tracy in concert in Ft. Worth this year for my first time and I sang along with so many hits. He’s one of my favs! Please react to his song Till I Was a Daddy Too.

Also try Little Texas- What Might Have Been, Restless Heart- The Bluest Eyes in Texas, or Tracy Byrd- Keeper of the Stars.

New Subscriber and really enjoy your vlogs

God bless our military and the family and friends who miss them, especially this time of year. Prayers for their safety and hugs to the ones who are holding down the homefront.

A few people have mentioned Jason Michael Carrol, "Alyssa Lies". I think every human should hear that song. But be prepared to lose your shit emotionally.

I love the way that tear came out on that part where he said she aint ready yet. One came from my eye too. There is so much power in the songs. Country music is so powerful. The songs tell the stories of our lives. Powerful writing and singing, Listen to some Chris Stapleton, Eric Church, George Strait, Brooks and Dunn. Its all about those dirt rodes, Sunday morning church, Sunday afternoon fried chicken. Oh dont forget Zac Brown.

Idk if anyone has suggested it or not but "live like you were dying" by tim mcgraw is a really good song and also "dont blink" by kenny chesney

First time I heard this song was when my dad was deployed, I was trying to get into the Marine Corps my friends had already gotten in.

I am a daughter, wife & mother of veterans. I couldn't listen to songs like this while my son was in the Army. He served 8 years and those were the hardest 8 years of my life. You have introduced me to a song that I've never heard, and country music is my main genre. Thank you

Watching you react to songs I love, a you learning about a whole different world that treats women with respect and loves them different than you ever thought possible. Keep up with the good work and no disrespect to your guy but you are beautiful.

Last time I comment on your channel (my end is near)... I made it home (1993, but did my best to make her leave .... it worked). In general, all worked out for the best, for both of them(mother and daughter) ..... for me, nothing I was not use to (Losing loved ones .... my brother in arms). Love and respect to you for what you do.

Tracy has an older song called I’ll never pass this way again that you should check out the video for.

Good song, great reaction/reactor. Thank you Sushi.

I love this song. I cry every time.

Love your heart.

Please react to "The father,my son and the Holy Ghost" by Craig Morgan!

i served in 2 iraq, and afganistan. two wars under my belt lost many friends. love my military songs. but they all make this big guy cry.

I miss my friend- Darryl Worley

As a veteran or to be exact a non combat veteran who came close to going to the first desert Storm. In that situation people find out just how you feel about them. Told people for the first time I loved them. Today they are my brothers. Now people being to bad to you. Listen to a fun song. Swing batter batter swing

i dont know how you did it, so glad you listen to this...

Sushi! You've been doing so many heavy country songs lately

Love the videos, you should hear sounds like life to me by Daryl worley

I was unable to join the military die to medical issues disqualify me. Instead I joined my volunteer fire company to help my country. The majority of my friends went into the service and thankfully each one made it home physically safe. The song is powerful to me because I was the one on the other end, taking care of the families, helping with the houses, yard work, keeping maintenance on the vehicles and just being there and being the as a stand in brother, son, father, whatever was needed of me. I remember going to my buddies little sisters graduation because he was deployed over seas and saw he break down crying as she got her diploma because I was the only family that was able to make it. I am now going through flight school to get my license and then will start building hours so I can participate in the angel flight program. I would love to see your reaction to rodney foster - angel flight

Love your insight and emotional. Please do luke Bryan-drink a beer or cole swindell-you should be here

Im a new fan of u You have a great soul..truley u r the best..i love you A fan from syria❤

I first heard this song in 2005 in Florida. My friend threw a party for me before i deployed to Iraq. He took me over to his jeep and made me listen to this song. He told me I'd have nothing to worry about. He was right.

❤❤❤

There is a very inspiring story that comes with Lawrence.

Chris Young The Dashboard is another great song for veterans There are some amazing tributes to soldiers! Any song by Tracy Lawrence is good! Dean Brody That's What Brothers Are For

First time I paid attention to it was December 2, 2005. The day after my brother died in Fallujah Iraq, this song still gets me to the bone

My dad has been gone for 12 years and Montgomery Gentry Clouds is one of the last songs we listened to at a concert

Born to Run by Bruce Springsteen... That's the song mentioned in this song by Tracy. Springsteen definitely laid some groundwork for many artists and often gets credited many times over.

Much ❤️ from Alabama Sushi 😘

You should react to "the call" by mat kennon

This is my first visit to your page and I have 2 songs they are both by Craig Morgan that you need to hear. The first song is that ain’t nothing and the second song is the father, my son and the Holy Ghost ( which is a song written about the death of his son) I myself have buried a son and it’s the worst grief ever, it’s been 26 years and I’m still not done grieving.

I lost a close friend in Iraq. When I got home I visited his wife and daughter. It still tears me up to this day.

BlackHawk Postmarked Birmingham is a great 90's song from a great voice. Give this a listen you will not be disappointed

React to The Little Girl by John Michael Montgomery. Love the reaction

Justin Moore - If Heaven Wasn't So Far Away.

do travis tritt tell me i was dreaming and anymore you will cry

Tracy Lawrence: 'As Any Fool Can See'

I got to see him play this song live when I saw him back in 2014 and he had to walk off stage afterwards

Thank your for the reaction. Trace Adkins Still a Solider is a very good song to listen to.

God bless our fighting men and women.

Amazing song and artist! Just watched 3 of your posts back to back. Great job and thank you! Looking through your posts I can only add a couple of songs that others haven’t already suggested. Waylon Jennings-Revelation or Six white horses. God bless!

Tracy Lawrence - I See It Now

Driving around my ranch exactly 1 year after my husband was KIA. I admit I stopped and cried for well over an hour.

You should listen to "Paint Me A Birmingham" by him it's an amazing song.

Tracy Lawrence has a lot of good ones. I love your reactions. Here is a song that won't get many recommendations because most of your viewers are younger I would assume. However if you could react to Alabama's "In Pictures" I believe you'll get an experience out of it. It is a very touching song. Hits home in many family situations across America.

That's my job - Conway twitty Definitely one you should do I think
