When I first heard this song I was driving home from work at 3 am. The words made me cry for the first time in a long time. It made pray so hard because my wife at the time was pregnant and we were advised that one of them would not survive the labor. "I'm with your ghost again" is when I bawled and begged God to take me instead. We're all alive and healthy

This is a true story. One of the songwriters said this in an interview: There was a girl I was seeing, who lived in Kansas City. We really liked each other, but geography and timing just wasn't working for us. She was getting pretty frustrated with the whole thing and wanted me to slow down, as far as traveling so much and all those things. I wasn't willing to do that because we were just getting started, and I'm chasing my dreams. I was going to see her. We were in Green Bay, Wisc., playing a show with Little Big Town, and it was pouring down snow. We were supposed to go to Kansas City the next day for some radio thing, but the radio people canceled. Instead, we just went on to wherever we were going next. I had to call her and tell her that I wasn't going to make it. She was not a happy camper. She let me have it. I hung up the phone, walked on the bus and wrote the chorus and the melody to the chorus. Me and Zac worked on the first chorus together. I knew the song was special. You can just tell as a writer when you've written something that has a chance to be big or special. I knew that one was.

"Highway 20 ride" is a killer. Also, "my old man". I can't not cry when I hear those songs

“Colder weather” symbolizes him not being able to commit to the girl he knows he should be with. “I don’t want you but I need you” he knows he should be with her but he has commitment issues

React to Chicken Fried by Zac Brown Band. It is uplifting

“Highway 20 Ride”, “Goodbye in her eyes”, “Sweet Annie”.... Zac Brown Band has so many amazing songs... “Chicken Fried” if you want something more upbeat and fun.

"As she's walking away" Is a great Zac Brown piece.

Trace Adkins “you’re gonna miss this”

I first heard this song the day my grandfather died. My girlfriend and I were gonna hang out that day, and my grandfather died. I didn’t know how to deal with it, my girlfriend came over, and we listened to the radio and she consoled me. This song came on the radio, and she told me she wouldn’t leave me. That was the same day she first said she loved me. To this day we are still together, and this song gives me two different emotions at the same time, it’s hard to listen to it, but it also helps me through tough times too. It’s hard to explain.

I always hear this and think of a long haul truck driver.

I’ve always assumed “Colder Weather” was depression and he couldn’t commit to her or love her the way she loved him cause he was depressed.

You know those days where you just don't feel like you are good enough for anybody? Those days where you just want be alone in your own misery? That's the "colder weather."

“Chicken Fried” by Zac Brown Band . It’s a very happy song !! And a classic !!

This song strikes at the core of me. I've been a truck driver for 30+ years and just in my blood. I don't WANT to leave... but I've got a Gypsy Soul and can't be cooped up. She stands faithfully at the door each time and watches my taillights fade. Cowboys and Truckers.

I first heard this song when someone from my past said it reminded him of me and our time together. He was in the military. Life got in the way and I ended up moving away it wasn’t in the cards for us. Now we both are married to other people with kids. Colder weather is a metaphor I believe for commitment issues. Definitely bring a back memories when I hear it.

George strait """ when did you stop loving me"" "easy come easy go"" "" she'll leave you with smile"" best country artist ever, more than 50 number 1 hits.... the king

I'm a line haul boat captain on the Mississippi River and it's tributaries. This is more than just a job, it's a way of life to takes me away from home for weeks and weeks at a time. I was on a boat passing through Memphis Tennessee at 0200 in the morning with 5 weeks down and didn't have any idea of how many more days or weeks to go before I would go home to my wife the first time I heard this song.

I love this song and I have a different view of the end that apparently I only have when he says "I'm with your ghost again" you can hear his voice change into this somber tone that makes me think the love passed as he was out driving.

My wife and I have seen Zac Brown in concert several times. Years ago he opened for Dave Mathews and his first song was a Rage song. He absolutely killed it. The man can probably sing just about anything and make it sound good.

I'll second Hwy 20 ride.

This makes me think of my wife every time I leave for the road. I’m an over the road truck driver and home always feels so far away. Love the job hate being away from her.

Zac brown “sweet Annie” and “island song”

"Free" is one of their best songs

I like the song, I love the video- before cars, before electric lights, he’s trying to get home lost in a storm, she’s putting lamps in the window to guide him home in a whiteout, fires his rifle because he’s lost, so she lights the barn on fire to show him the way home. So good

This song always reminds me of a time when my wife was still in Colorado and I was in Seattle taking care my dad until he passed and she was helping her mom recover from a fall. Circumstances kept us from seeing each other for a little over a year. And there was about a total of 3 1/2 years of separation due to this. This song always made me smile and think about getting home(Colorado).Yes we are still happily together and having our own adventures together in the mountains in Oregon.

22years old From Canada Alberta This has been my favourite song since I was about ten years old and at graduation I said THIS is my grad song when I was walking he’d be singing in colder weather

I've seen Zac Brown twice. Didn't know anything about them the first time I went. Became a fan instantly

I wanted to thank you for introducing me to songs I haven't heard before. I knew some of the country songs you have done, but I am basically an old rocker. I appreciate most types of music when the musicianship is outstanding.

I saw Zac Brown in concert . It was a good concert. I'm glad to see her experiencing new music. I like her. She needs to listen to Good bye in her eyes. These are the kind of song you grab your girl and dance the night away too.

Don't remember the first time I heard this song but recently this song took on a whole different meaning to me at the last verse....it makes me think of my best friend Jeannie who passed away....one of my favorite Zac Brown songs.....maybe my favorite by them

It was written from the prospective of a truck driver who gets stuck away from his loved one due to snow. It's one of my favorite Zac Brown songs.

I'm so glad this was your introduction to zac brown band. Most people start with "chicken fried" or "toes" and while they are fun catchy songs i really love their more meaningful ones like "hwy 20 ride" or "sweet annie" also I got to see them in concert years ago they are freaking amazing live and you can really tell they put their all into their performances.

Herd this song leaving a funeral of a team mate that served with me in the service after PTSD defeated him and he took his own life I think of him often. Thankyou for all you do on your reaction videos.

I remember this song as one of the first country songs that brought me down the road you're on 🍣, was Christmas of 2011 I was visiting my grandma and I went for a walk the only station I could get was local country and I started to cry during it I listened to more ZBB and now I get the same way every time I hear it, it reminds me of my roots into the genre and how I've come since

My favorite Zac Brown song by far, and it makes me emotional every time I hear it. Thanks for the video and your appreciation for his voice.

Zac Brown Band-"Goodbye in Her Eyes". Please do this song, it's amazing!

Being from Quebec, french part of Canada, I stumbled upon Zac Brown by mistake and it's a mistake I would repeat every day of my life!! We don't listen to Amrican country much here (or don't talk about it much), but Zac Brown Band is a must-listen to!! Guys aren't afraid to try new things, tread new paths and reinvent themselves!! Kudos for that! You are an amazing youtuber! Love your react videos, very emotional, true and grounded! Keep it up!!

Highway 20 Ride. Any parent who messed up and caused them to be away from the ones they loved will hold that song in a special place in their heart.

Colorado is beautiful!! I lived there for 30 years and miss it but don't miss the cold!!

I’ve enjoyed watching your videos and watching your channel grow. It was just a few months ago when I saw you had 17k followers - now your over 40k. That’s awesome! Congrats.

I always thought this song was about a trucker that couldn't choose between the love of his life and his love of the road, and she passed away before he solidified his choice. "I'm with your ghost again" "when I close my eyes I see her, no matter where I am, I can smell your perfume through these whispering pines" "It's a shame about the weather, but I know soon we'll be together and I can't wait til then". This song hits hard for me.

2018, I drove from Nevada to Washington. This song came on and I played it on repeat cause it just hit me spot on. Lol funny how songs do that.

The Zac Brown Band has had a ton of great songs. I do have a request: Would you please react to "Remember When It Rained" by Josh Groban. He is a man with a very powerful and angelic voice. Josh first was disc when he appeared in an episode of "Ally McBeal" in the 1990's. Josh had role in the episode and he sang in the last few minutes of it. David Foster took him under his wing and Josh never looked back. He is one of the most kindest, sweetest, funniest and humble people in the entertainment business. I look forward to you reacting to him! I enjoyed your reaction here, as always!

Highway 20 Ride, Goodbye in Her Eyes, Chicken Fried...They have got so many good ones.

I was in my car driving to work when I first heard this song. Today it is my favorite song of all time. Love your videos!!

Definitely all time favorite band no matter what genre and top 5 favorite song

Hands down, the most genuine reactions I've seen.. You earned a sub from me 👍🏼

I've been binge watching you and just wanted you to know you are amazing and your reaction vids are so the best! I definitely had to finally be a subscriber😁

IT IS SOOOO NICE TO SEE A BEAUTIFUL HEART FILLED WITH ALL TYPES OF MUSIC! YOUR TRUE HEARTFELT REACTION TO A SONG IS PRICELESS...

I was just coming back from iowa I moved there for 31/2years and I know the truck stop just west of Lincoln nebraska been there many times. Makes me miss iowa awesome song highway 20 ride is off the charts makes me think of my daughter when I left to go to iowa and the years I spent there without my little girl .....

OTR Truck driver, I'm gone 3 months and home for a week. This song is me, particularly the "you've got a gypsy heart, you were meant for leaving" line.

Every other weekend by Kenny Chesney and Reba is a tearjerker

This song is made from a truck drivers perspective and the video is a metaphor for him being stuck in other places around the country except with his love so it's cold hence colder weather they explained it in an interview but that's the most of the story !!! I think Zac Brown is amazing in almost every song he does

New to your channel, love your input to so many of these songs that I have listened to. Picking up more in the lyrics.Nice job!

Such a talented group of guys

Great reactions..... love it and love all of Zac Brown's music...............

One of my favorite of the genre. It keeps getting better and better as it goes on.

Cold weather is a metaphor about ow you are stuck in a place and don’t know what to do. Also this is is the first one of your videos I’ve watched and I’m definitely gonna watch more

I used to spend 200+ days on the road for the military and it was always hard to say goodbye.

ZBB: My favorite singers and genre. There's so many ways to interpret this song and it seems that's what the band was after as they stated when asked about the meaning: "To each their own". I went to a concert where 10,000 people showed up in Green Bay, Wisconsin to see and hear them. It was an exciting time for me for sure! 💓

I'm so happy you're doing more country reactions. I really like you and your channel. Sometimes I feel bad because I know what some of these songs can do to a person. There are a few country songs that I've heard a hundred times and they still make me tear up. Thanks for reacting to Zac Brown. They have several other good songs. Their newer stuff got kind of weird though, wasn't as good, imo. Highway 20 ride has been mentioned several times that is one of my favorites, and Chicken Fried is the song that put Zac Brown on the map.

Zac's one of my favorite male vocalist... I don't listen to country much but I can appreciate his music... He really shows his range on the song "Free"...

Your reactions are the best in my opinion, your honest. Your helping bridge this gap.. your seeing we’re all the same.. we all share have the same emotions.humaity not race..

That’s the great thing about country music, the songs always tell a story that brings some emotion forward. Which is why country will stand the test of time.

It's about losing a lover, literally to death. Very sad. "I'm with your ghost again" colder weather could be a metaphor for a lot of stuff, but death is never warm. Thanks for sharing your reaction

LOVE Colder Weather! It gets me every time

You'll love "Sweet Annie" Zac Brown Band has tons of great song. Very diverse. I see them in concert every year.

“Colder weather” is a metaphor. As others have said, it’s a fear of commitment. It’s also a metaphor being used literally. Using random excuses like the weather, as to why he can’t make it “home.” On a writing level, the song is brilliant. It’s the song that band was made to make.

You're 💯🔥🔥 keep it up I support you 💯 your all good with everything no hating over here just straight up respect you one love SUSHI...🤗

I was in drug rehab in TN. Meet a girl there but couldn't stay. Had to get back to Texas to raise my son. She died 2 years later and the song makes me think of her and TN every time I hear it.

THANK YOU! So excited to see your reaction. I was in the car and thought it was James Taylor.

I was going to say Goodbye In Her Eyes. It's my favorite song by them. They're all great!

One of my favorite songs of all time..it brings a tear.....i was once a gypsy soul......

They did a version of The Devil went down to Georgia that's Awesome at the CMA awards a few yrs ago... worth checking out:)

One of my favorite songs! Love your videos too!

Zac Brown band is awesome. he sings with such soul

This used to be my theme song. It's about not being able to sit still as a nomad, or gypsy gripped by wanderlust. Then things change or end from being away all the time for so long.

I totally had a lover when this song first came out and he left me like this... playing games. Beautiful song.

I heard this first in concert. Zac is a local boy to me made good. If I remember correctly this song was about a truck driver on the road missing his wife. :) you would really enjoy his song, whatever it is. Though toes is my favorite.

Love the reaction! Yeah, ZBB can really tug at your heart-strings!

I love your country reactions! You are beautiful and your hair is FIRE!

i love you but i leave ya i dont want you but i need you is my favorite line of this whole song

Right in the feels

Zac Brown Band writes some of the best lyrics in country music today. So deep, poetic, and meaningful.

I honestly love your raw emotion. This may be weird, your hair is beautiful. Thank you for heart felt reaction. Keep up your reactions. Honestly I'm not a creeper.

First time hearing this; it’s in my country playlist now!

I heard this song the year it came out, but was crazy is I had stopped listening to it for a few months, I live in Las Vegas and I drove across country to Michigan 12/15/18 and randomly in Lincoln Nebraska I turned the radio on and this song came on. it’s been a favorite of mine for a very long time. Crazy how that happened

So glad you did this one i suggested in your other video. Great song. Awesome band. Song actually came out when i was trying to date a girl too. The lyrics are poetically put together.

Goodbye in Her Eyes has some great harmonies, and Highway 20 Ride is a great song about a single father and divorce.

It’s about Truck drivers and the struggles of having a relationship. One may say that they should find a more convenient job, but the love for the road and the job is one like no other. The only ones who understand are other drivers themselves.

a must see live worth the time and money!!

Try these from Zac Brown too, "Highway 20 ride", "Goodbye in her eyes" and "Leaving love behind", "My Old man", "Homegrown", "Day that I die"

Ive always felt this was at least a little related to depression. Hes having a hard time with something, and he found this person who is special. Hes asker her to stay because hes trying to change and get his act together. But he also know somethings dont change. Being lost in the cold weather and being in the lost and found just feels like depression to me.

I love this song perfect beautiful god gifted voice

I’ve loved this song since it came out..I own it during karaoke

That piano introbgets me everytime..im in a long distance relatioship...and listen to this alot...cant believe i just found it on your channel lol

Heart melting, Dan&Shay Tequila. It's in the same lane as Colder Weather. Geter done SUSHI.

im in New Zealand found it on youtube and love most of there songs

I love this song so much❤️ childhood memories

Here is a sad song - "Snowblind Friend by Steppenwolf " released 1970. Steppenwolf was a Rock Band but the song was written by country singer, actor, and song writer Hoyt Axton. Now another of Hoyt Axton's songs is 'Della & the Dealer" -- "If that cat could talk what tales he'd tell About Della and the Dealer and the dog as well But the cat was cool, and he never said a mumblin word." Hoyt Axton also played Randall Peltzer in the first Gremlins film.
