  • What sick person would dislike this??? Some people need to REALLY listen to the lyrics. I think everyone should buy this album!!! It is the best cd I have ever bought and I am not kidding!!! AMAZING CD!!!!!

  • This really reminds me about my car accident. I was 15 at the moment. Me and my sister and 2 other friends were riding home from school and we hit some ice and flew off the road. We also hit a tree. Sideways. The tree hit right on my door. I shattered the glass with my head. I have seen that white light. I was about one 1/4 to heaven. Im still not the same. I studder and twich. Its been over a year and everytime i see the pictures i breakdown. I know god let me live to do something great

  • @bomconz i was wonderin the same damn thing

  • Two years ago my Big bro was in a fatal car accident he survived but unfortunately the other driver didnt. I realize every day how things can change in blink of an eye by just one mistake.

  • i cry everytime i watch this i love you Brantley your songs have changed my life alot this is a great song!!! i would love to just meet you sometime! I would Honistly like to just Email you!! I love you alot! thank God let you still be here! He put you here for a reasson!!!

  • I Swear everytime ive watched it i ust tear up. I had a sisters friend and good friend of mine they were driving in Mdera California and It was after some school dance and they were all driving home and the boy his girlfriend was driving and she was just swirving and they hit this tree and everytme i hear this i just think of that. God is forsure with us all you just gotta find him.

  • Makes me think of my husband. He rolled a car end over end 3 times. I realize how lucky I am for him to still be here.

  • Wow this is relly crazy and the song just kicks ass keep writin bad ass songs

  • maes me think of my two best friends Austin Wells and Avery Carnell i love and miss yall both so much both died together on a motercycle after a night of drinkin...

  • reminds me of a i went to school with a guy who went down on his bike at over 130mph and walked away with minor cuts and bruises. he turned his life around after that too

  • This video reminds me of a classmate of mine who wasnt so lucky when speeding God was with u ur mom was right makes u appreciate life a little more God Bless Brantley

  • Man im not goin to lie ...just herein this made me wanna teer up but i refrained myself but i honestly say gods with you man!!!! keep on doin what you do man ... Thanks for the great music!!

  • this reminds me of the boys that wrecked from my school on 129 :( our greenback boys got lucky and god was with them thru it all

  • God was watching over you,man!!

  • the acoustic version of halfway to heaven sounds amazing, any place to download it anyone know of?

  • I know what this guy has gone through i hit a tree head on goin between 75-80 i was drinkin and and fell asleep it happened oct. 7 2011 and i never thought i would be 21 and have a broken hip and much more god was with me and im glad he was with you cause i wouldnt have a song that hits so close to home.

  • Man my life is a struggle right now but when i listen to your songs the struggle go's away thanks man

  • ive been halfway to heavan an it changed my life

  • @skooter643 same here.

  • Why does his hair look black in this video?...

  • in a way im glad he had this wreck because if not most likely i wouldnt have ever heard of him and i love his music. im a new member of bg nation. but im glad he is ok and PLESS2012 your right the lord was with him that night

  • A man will be forgiven for his mistakes. We all make them. The important thing is that you learn from them and carry the experiences on to make yourself a better man. It certainly looks like brantley has done so

  • His music changed my life forever

  • im glad he didnt die in that accident. i listen to his music religiously. Brantley gilberts music is what i believe in. if it hadnt been for his music i dont think id be the girl i am now. i love his music it speaks to me. his music hits home in ways nobody can imagine.

  • this song speaks everything, i just got out of the hostpital, me and my girlfriend were comin home from hunting around 830 and was ina sharp curve and a drunk driver runnin 100 came around in my lane and i had to swerve off the road and wrapped my truck around a tree and they say if i wouldnt have cut the wheel exactly like i did my girlfriend wouldnt be here with me today 1 more inch she wouldnt be here when i heard that it really hit home i love that girl im just lucky she still here thank god

  • this song just hits home having had the experience. my buddy and i flipped my moms explorer and through a barbed wire fence and came down on our side in the middle of the pasture my buddy wasnt hurt in the accident but he was running up to the road and ran into the barbed wire that was stringed over the truck tight and cut open his lip bad and had to get stitches. it could have been worse but by the grace of God we werent hurt.

  • I have been following brantley since 2007 or 2008 and have met and talked with him several times and I tell him he is my inspiration. I even called his mom and told her she has a very blessed son and to keep it up with the music

  • He really is lucky! But it's kinda hard to hear, so what does he say about the man with tears rolling down his face? I was confused.

    This song gives me chills when I listen to it. It's by far my favorite song of his because of how real it is.

  • @ChevyGirl1178~He was talking about his Dad crying. The song Halfway to Heaven says "First thing I did was hug my mama, hell I even hugged my dad. Told'em both how much i loved'em, never saw daddy cry like that"

  • Damn i am glad that you came to the music i have found ur music before u became on the radio i love ur music and keep it up good jog bg

  • This reminds me of when I wreck my buddy's 05 duramax after a long night we were both lucky to survive he was thrown from the truck bout 25 yards and I was inside the whole time we took out 10 small pines and a couple of big ones everytime I go by there I get chills cause you can still see were it happend and all the debris is still there

  • This song hits home with me too. My cousin that I was really close with died in a car accident about 3 years ago and it was so had to deal with that I even contimplated taking my own life. Then about a year or so later I met a guy that emotionally abused me for about four months. All I can say if thank GOD I have a wonderful family, friends and horse to help me through it. However I owe most of it to my horse. Some how she saved me from myself and I don't know how I can ever pay her back...

  • There need to be more guys like Brantley. Hot, close with God and have a heart.

  • This song hits home, I flipped a truck a few years ago and I had the feeling that someone was holdin onto me while the truck flipped. I wasn't wearin a seatbelt but if I woulda been wearin one my head woulda been crushed cus the roof caved in past the headrest on the seat. I thank the Lord im still here cus I shouldn't be.

  • yeah my mom you know how she is... her and jesus are like this.... Gave me chills

  • WOW!! This is amazing! He's one lucky, talented, blessed and hot guy!!! :)

  • It takes good person with some sense to realize you didnt live cuz you're bullet proof, you lived cuz it aint your time. And he's a good man for seein that

  • My car accident was not even that bad, and my twin brother and girlfriend were killed. he is lucky.

  • i have been halfway to heaven and it was not fun

    

  • GOD BLESS YOU BROTHER!!! it wasnt meant to be!

  • whoever that was who disliked this is a fucking disease. BGnation <3

  • Brantley is a lucky man. The good LORD was with him that night.

  • This song means absolutely so much to me, Not only because Brantley Gilbert is amazing all in itself. but right before thanksgiving last year, my boyfriend rolled an explorer over a median and 2 other lanes of traffic. was ejected out of the window. He made it, But was definitely rough. It was so hard. But this song means everything to us, He even has Halfway To Heaven tattooed on his arms. Thank you Brantley.

  • He said there must be a reason that he's still around, well hell yeah there is, I'm pretty positive that I'm not the only person that can say his more mellow music helped me through tough times and a couple hours later my buddies and I are rockin out to kick it in the sticks and muddin behind the corn fields. Thanks Brantley.

  • This man is awesome i've never had a father figure but every song he has wrote has basically been a father to me his songs really speak to me this is why ill be country till the day I die

  • This honestly brings tears to my eyes. I've been halfway to heaven plenty of times and the good lord knows he's givin me the best of angels cuz im still here today♥

  • the one person who disliked this doesnt know what life is worth.

  • god bless man

  • Man, I'm in tears, and he's still alive, I just have to say, I'm so thankful that Brantley is still alive & makin' music, i'm probably his biggest fan, and that'll never change. <3 -bg!(:

  • whos the dumb ass who doesn't like this?

  • im in tears watching this. the song in general makes me cry but hearing him say it all is crazy scary

  • watching this vdeo is crazy for me.. three years ago i had a wreck, cracked my skull and almost died.. its weird cuz i had the exact same G that was in his back glass on my truck and this song almost brings me to tears every time..

  • I cried the first time I watched this. His music has saved my life so many times. Im so glad he is stilll alive, because if he wasnt i wouldnt be right now.

  • omg i'm sooo glad he's still alive '=

    i love brantley gilbert

  • Whoever said the truck was an F-150 is wrong it's a Ford Ranger "EDGE" besides looking like a Ranger the "EDGE" on the bed side tells ya it's a Ranger...and I love this video very touching and inspiring he definatly had an angel in the passenger seat that day I wonderer if thats why he thought someone else was in the truck when he tried to roll it back over and I'd also like to know who the hell disliked this?

  • Sometimes it takes something drastic to make a person see the road they're supposed to be on. I'm glad Brantley Gilbert came through this to share his great talent with us. Thanks Brantley!

  • @lifeasamovie So i take it he got bigger and left you guys behind?

  • this song breaks me down i got in a bad accident after a deer ran in the road i totaled my truck. i swerved then overswerved to correct it hit the bridge and flipped sideways hittin a tree before rolling down the bottom of the creek on my side. i was in the vehicle the whole time my seatbelt held me tight. my phone was busted i was knocked out for 90% of it. driver side door opened on its own. makes you think...

    if you guys want pics of a miracle message me ill link on facebook. god bless yall

  • Thos has made me cry

  • I normally do not comment on Youtube, however this song no matter how many times i listen to this song, it blows me away every time. Also WHO THE HELL, disliked this?

  • I know that had to be eye-opening. I heard you on WRNS this morning and they posted this video for us to see, it's amazing what gods plans are for different people!

  • Love that story!!!!

  • I think we can all agree based on comments this video and the fact that iv hit a tree too and almost killed my best friend that trees... Are assholes.

  • Maybe somebody could tell me something right quick...at the end of the video the truck they show is a Ford Ranger but in an interview somewhere he said it was a brand new F-150 with like 30 miles on it.

  • @CuteLilRebelCwgrl - I'm thinkin' the same thing and can't find an answer either. :/

  • @CuteLilRebelCwgrl - Maybe he hit the Ranger in the process.

  • @CuteLilRebelCwgrl honey that was an F-150 my daddy had one just like it. the back doors just open only from the inside giving it the look of a ranger. Not trying to say your wrong or nothing, but is is an F-150 :)

  • @bhauf15 honey that was a ranger i have one just like it. please know your trucks before you look stupid.

  • @barrelracingchick16 wow i wasnt even being rude. my dad had a truck that looked identical to that one the only difference it was brown not silver or whatever color that was. so my bad for thinking wrong. fuck. you dodnt have to be such a bitch.

  • @TheBhauf15 for one there is no need for cussing because i didnt cuss at you. and two. just know your trucksbefore you get showed up.. and there is realy no f-150 that looks like a ranger unless it is a 70's model f-150 ragner. but then it was twice the size of a ranger these days.

  • my message here is dont drink and drive it aint worth it!!! i could have very easily killed my self or my best friend that night and all for what??? a good time. learn from others mistake to not make them your own. god bless yall

  • Comment removed

  • i am a volunteer firefighter i have seen alot of accident but the one i remeber the most was mine that led to me being a firefighter. a buddy and i were hammered leaving a party having a blast on the way home i remeber taking one last sip of my beer and my buddy screaming.. we ended up head on into a tree we both walked away, and my momma told me i was blessed and i agree anyone that walks away from a bad accident like that is blessed. sherrifs said we were doing 57 mph when we hit the tree

  • My buddy droped his daughter off at school and got goin down the road and this kid was speeding ran a stop sighn and hit him, he flipped and ended up upside down and he wasnt hurt bad just banged up. Well there was a fell around when the ambulances came and my friends Bible had went out the side and the fella said want me to bring it to you he said yeah he took it too him, and well later on his wife said she had to get a fire fighter to get it, so he claims he saw his angel that day.

  • This was an amazing video! It's a sad video to watch! Thank god he had an angle watching over him!

  • for all people out there that have gone throught this i know how yall feel because my uncle died form this and my other uncle go a cuncution and was out for three days but it was sad because they loved god more then anything and the only one who wasnt hurt badly was the one who hated everything and every one and its a hard thing to deal so god bless all the poeple who survived and god bless the familys of the poeple who didnt

There was 5 of us in the car and we were very lucky that nobody was hurt other than a few cuts/bruises and one person fractured her right wrist. Nobody was wearing a seatbelt. We are truly lucky to be alive

  • TheJasoncash83 good call. That is the original worktape B gave to me when he said he wanted to do something with it.

  • I love that song. N the rest of them. I have his cd

  • Where do you find this version of halfway to heaven playing in the backround?

FIrst thing i thought of was this song.

  • Brantley you are my hero. You are my favorite singer, your songs hit home so much. God bless !

  • Yea about two months ago i took out a palm tree and flipped my truck three times and landed in the woods. That was the scariest night of my life. It is a life changer.

  • Why did he flip his truck????

  • this song reminds me of my wreck. i flipped my truck going home one night about 4 months ago. i swerved to miss a deer and i was NOT wearing my seat belt and i flipped 3 times and was ejected and pinned under my truck. i landed literally 6 inches from a tree and that same tree stopped my truck from completely flipping all the way on top of me. my back tire landed on my waist and was sitting a less than a inch off of me. but i thank god everyday knowin that he saved my that night.

  • I know hat u mean halfwaytoheaven I was in a car wreck the first day of school just a block away from my home and I didn't even see it coming a woman pulled out infront of me and my girl and I broke my femur and I sat for 5 months in my house and songs like that bring back memory's u really find out who's there for u and who isn't when stuff like this happens

  • The first weekend in February my state got 72 inches of snow in 3 weeks. I drive a big Ford F-250 Superduty. There was so much snow that it was over the white line. A car came at me and I moved over and the snow took me and flipped me over on my side. I walked away with a few scratches from the broken glass. I had a few bruises from the seat belt. A guy was shoveling his driveway when it happened and kept an eye on me till I left the scene. Song brings tears to my eyes everytime.

  • Absolutely love Brantley. Have every single one of his songs and there is always a few on every mix cd that I make. Last night, exactly one week after my 21st birthday, I got a DUI. Thank the lord that nobody got hurt because of my decision to drive. This video right here has made me make a promise to my mother to completely give up drinking. Thanks alot Brantley, you're a life saver. Keep up the good songs bro and dont forget why youre doing it.

  • i thought brantley gilbert had blonde hair?

  • @KissMyCountryAzz1 My dad was in a similar accident long before I was born, he was thrown from the truck after it had flipped several times and when the paramedics got there he was crawling to the truck to look for someone. He still said he thought there was someone in the truck with him. So yeah, I agree, angels are here with us.
