standing outside the fire

[sjosleyn08]

my favorite song of all time♥

[MissLLHofstadter]

@MCSuire thats just so true! great you got it man!

[EmporerBong]

this has nothing to do with an actual fire

[mourgozz]

show de bola!

[LuckySchmuckers]

@mourgozz Meu sentimento exatamente



[maeganratliff1997]

hint that osama diddnt get 9/11 made us a stronger nation

[maeganratliff1997]

i love this song and friends in low places and we shal be free love garth brooks any way

[kyledillcole]

i just say one life isant a punishment it is a privlage and we all go thrugh ruff times so i will say this we all need to just get along

[chipcomandr]

i am sorry i understand the heroism of being a firefighter and first responder but to tribute this song to that it doesnt relate at all there much better songs for that tribute but its a good tune

[SketchyMike85]

@ MCSuire True indeed Brother

[MCSuire]

This is the real message that I get from this song:

Don't stop chasing your dreams because you fear that they won't come true; work hard and press on until you can make those dreams a reality. Fighting to claim victory is better than cowering at the possibility of failure and shame.

[Gunn420leafs]

@MCSuire well said man very inspiring :) i took this personal thx u just lit some motivation under my ass

[kolaasxd]

@MCSuire You pretty much nailed that one

[Emmylie2]

@MCSuire Beautiful words♥.... and so true:-) Thank you very much

[givingitashot1]

@MCSuire Words to die by my friend:) Keep the faith:)

[CsoTy]

@MCSuire

Cool story bro

[17NJDevilsfan]

Did you lose friends in the September 11th attacks in New York City? If you did, I understand why you would put up the pictures of the WTC being destroyed. If you didn't...than, you ruined my enjoyment of this song because I didn't need to see that especially since NYC is my hometown

[glambertlover507]

im abosolutly in love with garth brooks music

[CountryChickJay]

@MrKrabz5 English? Please?

[d22353]

@MrKrabz5 fuck up would ya

[lyasu24]

I dont understand why everyone is talking about fires and fire-fighters... yes the video is a tribute to fire-fighters, but the song has NOTHING to do with actual fire or fire-fighters its about how to live your life. Thats not to say i dont respect fire-fighters but the song really has nothing to do with it lol

[Silvertipmoon]

@lyasu24 It's true the song has nothing to do with actual fire or firefighters, but if you look more deeply you'll understand that this song actually does fit.

The idea that someone has stepped out of the bounds of convential main stream life to become a firefighter and to face a potential risk to his life to help someone elses goes to show exactly how much this song fits with the life of a firefighter, or soldier or anyone willing to risk themselves for others.

[TheMarkTheShark86]

@lyasu24 I dont understand why people cant mind their business and not worry what or why people do what they want. People get there own personal messages for music

[lyasu24]

@TheMarkTheShark86 because if the message was about firefighters and how brave they are, then the lyrics would probably be a little more direct. I dont have a problem with what Silvertipmoon said because he explained himself and how he felt about it. you on the other hand are just like 'let me live in my freedom, dont tell me what to do... but im going to tell you what to do!'... see the contradiction?

[ChappellsBoy]

@lyasu24 dude your a idiot to even bring it up. your over thinking the whole deal

[muscle22man]

now that i am a fire fighter this video is one of my favorites now...but i have alwasy loved this song:):):)

[whyhigh1]

r.i.p to those who lost their lives in the victorian bushfires

[edwardelric98]

This is gonna be the wierdest comment ever... I'm a gamer, but a country fan, and this song makes me think of Breath of Fire V. I am so wierd...

[cooreena]

@edwardelric98 People who think their normal worry me. Weird is good so embrace who you are. No one knows the true definition of normal.

[cooreena]

@cooreena and i don't mean what the dictionary defines as normal. I,m talking about societies definition.

[upsidedownface1000]

@cooreena So very right

[paddyjotierney]

crackin

[sexisher26]

i love this ol tune!

[jtyler5]

Just did this song at jtyler5...Check it out and comment. John Tyler

[gizmotwadlebutt]

Firefighter or soldier... I am a firefighter my father was a soldier. The two are very much intertwined. Did you know EMS field firefighters now do came from medics that came home from wars and became firefighters. When someone got hurt they knew how to do life saving first aid....Well here we are today. Also yahoo or google search the story of the maltese cross. The first firefighters were soldiers.

[MeserithSama]

You all realize he doesn't actually mean REAL fire, right? Its a metaphor for living life.

[RichardthePrime]

I love the picture at 0:04, in the beginning. Where's it from, and where can I get one for my buddy? Any help would be greatly appreciated!!!

[nmudzyn]

@RichardthePrime here you go buddy ! allposters is the website, and its under "The-Sewanee-Volunteer-Fire-De­partment-Practices-Firefightin­g-Posters"

[RichardthePrime]

@nmudzyn thanks man! much appreciation!

[wingrove023]

GOD BLESS THE U.S.A

[SPS148669]

Hail Hitler!

[ffp152]

@SPS148669 It's "Heil Hitler." If your going to be prick, know what your doing, you ignorant fuck! And no I am not Jewish, I just hate idiots!

[Ignorantsaysignorant]

@ffp152 Actually its "Hail Hitler" since we're speaking english here.

[ffp152]

@Ignorantsaysignorant You are correct, YOU are speaking English, but, since you are trying to copy a chant from a GERMAN country then you should probably use it the way they did....or not at all. Either way, you are still a dumbass.

[Tamzy2012]

this is such a beautiful song

[RainWolf20]

Bin Laden. Haha. #Brainwashed

[GBPackersRuleAll]

No offense to firefighters, I love you all, but this may be oversimplifying the song a bit. More of a metaphor for life :)

[LostRealist86]

@GBPackersRuleAll Being a Bears fan I hate to agree with a Packers fan but you are right. If you watch the real video for the song it is about a kid with a mental/physical illness and him wanting to run track and be part of "normal" society.

[MsOregonian]

What does Bin Laden have to do with Firefighting?

Thank you hes303 for this video. Greetings from Mexico, by the way I fought fires in the USA for 20 years & like I always said if you wear the yellow shirt (momex) YOU are my brothers, THANK YOU.

[NJS1726]

Well Im not about to stand outside any fire, Im gonna get in there and help someone or save property... Firefighter from Pa, USA great video...

[asami146]

AMEN

[carlosdoerner]

Man do you understand what this lyrics really means?

I'm brazilian and not fluent in english but i understood ¬¬

[GargoyleZoo]

And Traby, I can understand your reaction, but could you ease up on the homophobic expletives?

[GargoyleZoo]

Ok, so putting aside my emotional response to your comment, Bin Laden was shoot twice in the head with a 7.76mm rounds from an assault rifle. That is one of the quickest, most painless deaths you could hope for. The man deserved to die, period.

As for why people hate him SO much, maybe because he engineered NINE EFFING ELEVEN!

[Traby116]

Fuck up u queer cunt

[theblindvisionary]

Why is everyone so hateful toward Osama? He was a person, nobody deserves to die like that. R.I.P. Osama, I respected you.

[cooreena]

@theblindvisionary Two wrongs don't make a right but,ignorance is bliss and stupidity is stupidity

[shaneo21able]

best garth brooks song ever

[maresca4m]

this one is for all our volunteer firefighters! Thanks to all of you!

[lordofmagi]

I am amazed how many people adore military life and bow before the war...

[maddysman21]

i salute our nation's heros like fireman policeman and our solders hang tough guy u make you country strong

[lplitman13]

The terrorist is gone! God Bless Humanity! God Bless our men and women who so selflessly serve!

[AJF392]

<3

[HotDaymItsPingu]

My brother is only 15 and won't hear of any career but one in the army. I don't think he'll ever know how proud I am of him, and this song always makes me think about him and my friend Ben who is in the Marines

[PwnyMcDonson]

anyone ever seen the music video for this? makes me shed manly tears every time

[glacer000]

to hes303 a nice video that honors the brave firefighters who risk their lives putting out fires to save other people

[shilohline1]

his death doesn't bring the people back that are now gone, pride is human's biggest down fall, let it go

Lol this is out to the bin laden comment guy

[trucshner]

woot woot to all of our hereos!!!!!!!!!!!!!

[sweetgirlhere1]

Bin Laden iznt even dead... if he waz theyd show photographs.. but they didnt .. why becauze it waz all a show for OBAMA to win hiz next election... PUBLICITY .. u ppl will believe anything the MEDIA tellz u ... itz pittiful

[CowgirlSweety]

@sweetgirlhere1 Chick they proved he was dead, I have a friend that was on this mission so BACK OFF!

[sweetgirlhere1]

@CowgirlSweety ... l o l ... im sure you did

[sweetgirlhere1]

@CowgirlSweety ... l o l ... im sure you did ... PS they didnt prove it.. and if they did wherez the proof sweety ??

[SchoolinCowboy]

@CowgirlSweety Lol if he was on the mission then he would be under strict orders not to discus anything that happened on the mission.

[CowgirlSweety]

@SchoolinCowboy he told after they released that he was dead. and all he said was he was there when they went in

[michellelynnew]

This is a really good video for the song i really enjoyed it

[NoelBrandon7]

it's hard to make an opinion when you haven't had every job in the world 

[FreakNastyMcG]

all these pictures are from the inland empire in So.Cal except for the 911 ones

[undertaker1297]

4 people have no hearts

[Skabur123]

I can't say a soldier has a harder job than a firefighter. Both are equipped to deal with an enemy. Both are getting attacked back. Both are helping others. Both have "brothers" beside them that help. BOTH lose lives. Both are HEROES.

[RamoRob]

@Skabur123 Totally agree, both are equally dangerous and equally important jobs, i have family in both the army and in the fire service, and both jobs are tough. Both are Defonatially HEROES!

[CrazyCanucks1000]

@Skabur123 the people who survive life everyday are also heroes

[luzdaluamaringa]

@FIOSupaFan101 bite my ass

[FIOSupaFan101]

@luzdaluamaringa I'm too afraid that you would enjoy that to comply.

[sweetgirlhere1]

@FIOSupaFan101 OH SHUT THE FUCK UP

[FIOSupaFan101]

@sweetgirlhere1 Please act like your namesake. You are more sour than a ripe lemon.

[Loco4Loko]

@FIOSupaFan101 God bless you

[80sman84]

@FIOSupaFan101;

& The Greatest Ship in the U S Navy THE USS CARL VINSON CVN-70 drop his ass into the SEA! Thank YOU GOLD EAGLE! Now can we get some JUSTICE for the Families of the USS COLE! Now That would Seal the DEAL!

[nastykiller21]

@FIOSupaFan101 so they say he is dead the government lies u should kno this by now

[blodbotina]

@FIOSupaFan101 AHAHAHHAAHHA Bin Laden??!!?! ahahahaha you Americans are totally retarded :D

[PigRifle]

@blodbotina and you're from a country that serves no purpose

[blodbotina]

@PigRifle Yeah and you people serve a purpose. A very Jewish one. Mannequins, you're all nothing but simple mannequins.

[aSFaTN]

@FIOSupaFan101

George Bush is still alive... GOD BLESS USARMY

[Scottyphoenix42]

@FIOSupaFan101 Yay, your comment turned a nice song into a lousy nationalist propaganda flick. Thank you. Not.

[4thmarineassasin]

Im a fireman with the Iowa Colony Fire Dept, Iowa Colony is a little village like community inside Rosharon Tx which is a town about 20 min south of Houston. Joining this Dept is the best decision ive ever made. I love doing what im doing. Ya its dangerous but i couldnt see myself doing anything else

[limaselclandestino]

FROM MEXICO WITH LOVE

THANK YOU ALL

[FIOSupaFan101]

Long live America's real heroes - stronger than The Hulk and Faster than Superman, America's Firefighters are always there and ready to save the day! Hoorah!

[BigT58609]

man the life of a fire fighter the stuff in this vid is the same thing we go threw as a firefighter

[SuperGinny58]

vraiment émouvant ce vidéo et sincèrement bien fait, merci à la personne qui me l'a fait découvrir, il se reconnaîtra  x

[Inglesrobert]

well done on the video and good tune.

[idontknow1215]

My family and I were in the October 25, 2003 wildfires in San Bernardino, CA. All I can say is Thank You, Thank You...everyone of you. For those days, Thank You for being there on Thanksgiving morning (Colton, Ca. 1992, my mom-in-law's house burned down) and every other time you risk yourselves.

[TheDarklayla]

i had to send this to my cousin. i miss him so much

[89holz]

amazing video and a lovely tribute to your brothers 

[ecdcheergurl96]

Both my parents are firefighters :)

Thank you.

[jbrannon92]

@ecdcheergurl96 No, I'd say it's thank you to your parents.

[firemanswife81]

thank you very much

[USASPD]

Damn perfect ending right there man...good job.

[firemanswife81]

ita scary not knowing whats going on when are husbands are out there fighting fires and we know that there is that chance of them not returning home but I am proud to say all firefighters put there lives on the line and i am proud to be a firemanswife i am proud of all firemen :)

[Shadesofblue1988]

@firemanswife81 Good, now shut the fuck up.

[irishbabygirl89]

@Shadesofblue1988 dont have anything nice to say dont say anything at all

[Shadesofblue1988]

@irishbabygirl89 Ok.

[gizmotwadlebutt]

@firemanswife81 I'm sorry ma'am for what someone else said if could shield you from that I would. I am a firefighter and will protect my firefighter familys from anything I can no matter where there from.

My wife worrys also and I am just a little small town firefighter.

[KO3MOHOT]

Ok, what about combining the soldier/fiefighter? Military firefighters, or for example, everyone in the Navy has to go through fire-fighting training, 'cause if the ships on fire, you better be helping to put it out! - and aircraft fires SUCK! (seriously though - no disrespect meant to any of the occupations mentioned here - we all got it tough!)

[monny287]

@KO3MOHOT

I didn't know the military had firefighters. Kind of bad on my part, considering I'm an army brat and obviously army bases are not impervious to fires. I guess I'd just never thought about it before. Cool! :D

[gizmotwadlebutt]

@KO3MOHOT I am a fire Instructor and you guys are where are tatics came from. Your the tip of the sword thank you.

[wingrove023]

go firefighters

[Chuckysmalls01]

I believe that a soldier would have a harder job then a fire fighter, that's just me though.

[RachetMan08]

my job is harder than fighting ah pissy fire. Most fire departments only specialize in saving chimmenys lmao

[rubygarza05]

my husband is a firefighter and I love this song i dedicate this song to him.

[firemanswife81]

my husband is a fireman and i always worry if he is going to come home or not so i like this song he is a great fireman and so is all the men in his fire department they risk there lives to save others I am proud of all fireman :)

[NJS1726]

@firemanswife81 My wife has the same problem, she hates the fact that im a volunteer fire fighter, but she knows i always come home... she knows just like you that my brothers at the station will have my back just as i have theirs, we watch out for oneanother, it truly is a brother hood...

[zxxx2ULUVHANNA]

my favoret garth brooks song:)

[azsli2]

I respect fire fighter but this does not mean literal fire people. It means doing things that are not really safe and living life to the fullest instead of on a strict schedule.

[bella17768]

brillant song minds me eh wen me n ma brer wiz in a fire when we was wains and al neva forgive that man but this song is brillant love it

[SuperKiss333]

i love garth brooks

[khnmwbff]

i used to be on he local fire dept. lemme tell you, it is the best job i have ever had. we are a special breed. we run into the balze while others run out. EX. 9/11 firefighters died running onti the blaze. fireifhgters do not get nough credit, they save lives while putting their own on the line. they are not a force to be reckoned with.

[Fluffman78]

just saw on cmt the other day that Garth Brooks might go back on tour in 2014 thats the year is youngest daughter graduates from high school copy and paste on all the Garth Brooks Songs on youtube and hopefully he will.

[UNENCUMBERED1]

@Fluffman78 i graduate same year

[mrb14075]

R.I.P. Lt. Jarrett Eleam Big Tree Fire Co. 1985-2011

[ownageguy77]

i love this song

[sooeey11]

Loved the tribute. My husband was a volunteer for over 20 years.

If two go in, two come out. Put the wet stuff on the red stuff!

[AMCfan2007]

I think that its funny all the comments about fireman on this video when the song is actually about people with special needs.

[DeathsHood]

@AMCfan2007 From what I can gather in the Lyrics, it has NOTHING to do with either of those...

[AMCfan2007]

@DeathsHood Read the story behind the song and watch the actual video.

[DeathsHood]

@AMCfan2007 Will do, as I've never done either.

[DeathsHood]

@AMCfan2007 Alrighty, that makes more sense.But it still seems more like the will to do something you think outside your ability, as opposed to specifically about special needs.

[jbrannon92]

@DeathsHood it is my opinion that all song lyrics and poems are open to interpretation. it doesn't have to mean the same thing to you, as it does to the songwriter or even another person.

[RCboy221]

My dad was a volunteer fireman for 7 years my grampa was a fireman for 15 years. My uncle is a volunteer fireman and a captain for the New York fire Department. So thank you

[rbormann2]

Who is the idiots who clicked thumbs down??? Great tribute

[UnderstandingCuresMe]

Being a real fireman and risking it all is a fragment of what it could possibly mean to all of us. IN otherwords... its a good start. We lack the imagination of what true caring could be. Imagination and educting! Yes risking your own life and your families life for others is what its ALL about.... teaching others the meaning of this song could faucet so many areas of our lives that fires would no longer be an issue. Just use your imagination. No matter what others think.

[UnderstandingCuresMe]

@UnderstandingCuresMe

Yes, I was a fireman... I eventually ralized that I really wanted to help people... it is in my soul. Then I realized that educating them more instead of me risking it all was better for both of us. So I became a teacher. And we were both better for it. It didn't stop there... all areas of problems need these teachers. For those that do not want to learn... there are laws. For those that profit off of those laws.. well... there are crooked politicians.

[LiPgLoSsGaLz]

garth always sends a great message in his songs <3 been listening to him ever since i can remember, my dad was a big fan (:

[donny27dsm]

Theres this love that is burning deep in my soul constantly yearning to get out of control wanting to climb higher and higher i can't abide standing outside the fire!My favorite lyrics of this whole song!

[hollywoodridgerunner]

great firefighter trubute to all my fellow firefighters out there be safe

[bt829fn]

great song love most songs by garth very real to life experiences

[RabidWolf6110]

The song can have many meanings. I do like this one as well as the one with the boy with down synd. But it means to get off your butt, off the sidelines & into the actions. It could also be used in a video for our people who are fighting 4 our freedom each & everyday.

[RabidWolf6110]

Hell Yeah! I hate being on the sidelines and it has gotten me in a lot of trouble when I have danced within the flames. I wouldn't change none of it. The rush the not knowing, the action. It fires you up every time.

[playboi22tiff]

luv the video.. this is one of my all time fav songs...

[khnmwbff]

ik how ya feel brother i was a friefighter for a while. i loved it and it takes alot to do it.

[SpeedotheHedgehog]

of course the twin towers are in this

[saddlebredhorsegirl]

i wonder why youtube took the original official video

[49sharyn]

love this

[bobcats330]

uh we dont stand outside the fire, we walk thru it. but good video. yall stay safe and enjoy the ride, remember black gets you back

[Wickyticky12723]

love this song its like me favorite song ever

[coley0076]

there aint no rebels when it come's too fire!

[386Legend]

@coley0076

besides water....

[TrollingForSoup92]

Well, it could really be applicable to doing anything that would take you out of you comfort zone (outside the fire). The music video is about a kid with Down's syndrome, but the song itself can take on many meanings.

[LtColWarren]

Great video, great song, and I work with the Fire Dept. However, you do no that this song has nothing to do with firefighting, right? It has to do with autism. Still, great job. Looking forward to more videos.

[NorChRoN420]

God Bless Our Brothers and Sisters willing to battle the flames

[madgirl3107]

garth brooks is awesome favorite song by him it rocks

[MrCemtex1]

the best country singer ever. your great pal.

[ellenr783]

amazing song and such an appropriate track

[alman301]

to all my fellow fire fighters. THANK YOU!!!

[callicowgirl]

My boyfriend is going to be on the Fulton Hot Shot Crew. When he turns 18. He already passed the test, and he's excited to go.
