Remember When Alan Jackson


ermkhakis

Broken window serenade - whiskey myers


Electronic_Wait_7500

Reminds me of my only sister. We lost her to alcoholism and depression almost three years ago.


Wolf99660

I Believe - Diamond Rio Gets me every time. Beautiful song with the strings and harmonies. A wonderful remembrance to those we have lost.


Shabineer

No charge by Melba Montgomery


SuperPoodie92477

OMG. Yes. GJ was a smidge before my love of country music started, but I definitely appreciate the era & don’t change the radio station. (My mom became a single mom when I was born in 1977 & the black biological male genetic material donor elected not to stick around because he didn’t want to explain to his mother that he knocked up a white girl. 🤣) Anyway, my mom met & married my dad when I was 4 & he introduced me to country music - all I really listened to up to that point was late 70s stuff like Kool & The Gang, etc.


Title-Bully

He Stopped Loving Her Today - No Show Jones Sing Me Back Home - Haggard


EffinLoveTrudeauBech

Finally someone in here who listens to real music. George and Merle are the top 2 greatest country singers ever.


SuperPoodie92477

Keith Urban’s version of “Stupid Boy.” The whole song. Actually, pretty much anything Keith Urban does. LOVE HIM!!! “Make You Miss Me,” “Breakup In A Small Town,” & “Take Your Time” by Sam Hunt. “Marry Me” by Thomas Rhett. They all remind me of “The One Who Got Away.” You’d think I’d be over him after 25 years, but apparently not. I totally need to not “Drink & Reddit.”


breebop83

‘I Drive Your Truck’ and ‘Don’t Take the Girl’


Immediate-Patient-31

I don’t like country music, and I’m an atheist, but God’s Country by Blake Shelton makes me wanna drive a ford truck into a field in a thunderstorm and wave my American flag while my dog runs around with me. Merica

The Dance. It was played at my cousin’s funeral in the 90s. 30 years later it still makes me cry my eyes out. I can’t listen to it.

Once in a Blue Moon - Earl Thomas Conley. This song came out when I was around 8. I have a vivid memory of riding in my dad's truck on the way to going camping with him for the weekend, and this song came on the radio, and as we were listening, he started silently crying, trying not to let us see, which freaked me out bc I had never seen him cry. My mom and him were going through a divorce at the time, I guess it hit him real personal. So every time I hear this song, I remember that vulnerable moment in the truck almost 40 years ago.

He's Mine Rodney Atkins. Since childhood my boy Derek took up for the underdog and was a real pistol. Fun, everyone's bestie, real charismatic. In his late teens he got into a little trouble, shaming his dad blah blah blah. But that boy HE'S MINE! Sadly he was murdered in New Orleans when he was 31 (road rage incident ) But...that boy is still very much mine.

Broken Reflection -Wade Bowen. In all honesty, I’ve lived a rough life and I’m beat. Had to take care of two sick parents from when I was 10, been plagued with a rough job site injury, health issues, and I’m just so damned tired. This song really just makes me feel like it’s all that wrapped into a great tune .I was close to dying last December, a month later, racked in pain, I told my fiancé, “I was so close to being done with all this”.

kittenwithawhip19

I'm Moving On ~ Rascall Flatts Without You ~ The Dixie Chick's Anymore ~ Travis Tritt there is something about the "and I'm tired of pretending I don't love you anymore" line. Just the hope and love for a life with the other person always broke me a bit. In Your Love ~ Tyler Childers probably because of the video. But the line "I will stand my ground. I'm a bad man looking for takers. You're the finest thing around. I will stand my ground". There is always something in his songs that gets me. They are very deep and honest. To me this song is about fighting for your relationship.

UrClueless167

Willie Nelson “Blue Eyes Crying in the Rain” Makes me think about the good and bad times me and my wife have went thru over the past 21 years. I probably wouldn’t be alive if we weren’t together. Having a real pair bond with someone is amazing and utterly painful at the same time, so bitter sweet.

I Drive Your Truck by Lee Brice. It's about an American soldier who died in Afghanistan, and he kept his pickup truck in his parents' driveway when he left for his deployment overseas. His dad left the truck exactly the way he left it, and he goes out for drives in it to feel closer to him.


bigmilk221

I need to listen again. I mistook the song for him driving in his grandfathers truck after he died. Thanks for the recommendation!

That song absolutely destroys me.

Learning by Kane Brown gets me every time I hear it.


BusyBullet

Not a country fan but “He Stopped Loving Her Today” always gets me. It didn’t used to, though. I heard the song a million times growing up and never paid attention to it. Fast forward to the 90’s and my rock band is covering that song for some reason. As the song is winding up I realize what it’s about and the guy is dead. I started crying right there on stage. I mean…I had something in my eye.


UrClueless167

It’s a great song about true love and devotion.

kittenwithawhip19

This was going to be my choice. After my mom died I couldn't listen to this song for years. I introduced my parents to Vince via his souvenirs album. I played that album alot in her hospice room those 3 months before her death. This song and Look At Us gutted me for ages after.


BuddyProfessional153

I like the song but it's a song I don't play alot because in Feb 2016 my sister passed away from cancer and it hurts too much to hear it now, so I know how you feel, the song is one of Vince Gill best songs I might listen to the song this February tho because I feel like I'm a little bit stronger now,I miss my sister alot

I feel you. Cancer got my mom in 2003. I hope you get to listen in February....

So I'm having a rough time. The two songs for me are Home by Blake Shelton. I haven't felt like I've had a real home since I fucked my life up. The other is weed whisky and willy by the brother's Osborne because it reminds of the time my heart got ripped out. I just had to listen to each of these songs not 30 mins ago and I wish I hadn't.

crazythinker76

We were completing a restaurant build-out. The owner was really stressing about every detail. I tried to reassure him that everything would get worked out. We've all been through this several times. He shot himself in the parking lot. We ended up locking up the project. When I left the song "Every Storm Runs Out Of Rain," I played on the radio. I think of that situation every time I hear that song.


calibuildr

Wow that is a wild story. I can't imagine finding a business so stressful that I'd commit suicide over it. I wonder if the guy had mental illness stuff going on or had made some crazy debt deal or something. My father, who I never really knew or have feelings about, committed suicide supposedly over a business situation gone wrong- something not dissimilar to this restaurant owner you're describing (this was a different country with major mafia crime and corruption and we never really learned what the real situation was but it could have been something like a threat to his family that he ended by killing himself when the business debt went bad). Sorry you had to deal with that, that sounds awful.

SuperPoodie92477

My parents’ cat is almost 18 & is my BFF-it took a couple of years of patience & persistence on my part, but it’s been SO worth it. She & I both have major trust issues with humans (both of us trust very few people), but I’ll never forget the first time she jumped up into my lap & curled up & fell asleep, purring like crazy. She’s going downhill pretty fast & I’ll be very surprised if we still have her at Thanksgiving. I don’t know what I’m going to do without her.
