  • Thanks for this consoling song, I read your post when you wrote it and dedicated it to your late friend. God bless you as the words continue to console me since I lost my adult son, Ervin, on March 19, 2011 and the hurt seems to just linger. Please God, restore and help me as I listen to this beautiful song.

  • R.I.P daddy Always gunnar be a daddys girl

  • miss u nana and pawpaw! r.i.p

  • RIP DADDY TRAVIS we will miss u and wish u didnt have to leave us like this leaving us the question why?

  • It doesnt matter who is singing it. That is all a lot of people worry about about in a song. The song has meaning, and a purpose. It was written for a death. The original composer wrote it for his brother that died. So if you are more worried abut the voice than there is something wrong. This song means a lot to me, and a lot of other people. I think it is amazing how it can remind me of the loved ones that I hav lost in the past couple of years.

  • this song is so sad it reminds me of two friends that i knew when i was 8 years old and they were victims of child abuse .

  • very, very good - 5 stars !

  • Beautiful. Maybe we should cover this song.

  • Oh wow, you do sound like vince....Amazing voice!! I love this song, i am writing a short story that is kind of...revolving around the song. Anyway this is an amazing cover, my favorite I've heard. Very very good, you have a talent. *hums with song*

  • James, you really do have a dang good voice. I work in the industry in Nashville, and you're voice blows away some of the bigger stars'. I'd love to hear how it sounds in a studio...

  • thanks for the great comment, but when you strip away all the background music, eq, and reverb, I have an average weak voice. the real talented people on here can sing straight into a cheap webcam and make your jaw drop. but I would love to get the chance to record in a studio, just to see how it is really done.

    James

  • @Twangtown7 IF YOU HAVE ANY INFLUENCE AT ALL..YOU NEED TO TRY TO OPEN A DOOR FOR THIS WONDERFUL TALENT IN JAMES DEAN....

  • This is in memory of my dad. One of greatest men to walk this planet its been 10 years and he is still greatly missed. Love you dad

  • 5 Stars  . . . Excellent

  • The Song started out with Vatince singing then goes over to a totally different person, who is good but He Is NO Vince Gill,, not even close. I love all of V.G. songs and this Song was played at my 3 Brothers' Memorials lost 1 Nov "06 1 on July 4, "07 then 1 Oct 2, 07. So I know that

    is NOT Vince Gill singing..

  • sorry, I didn't mean to give the impression that this is Vince Gill, I thought I made it clear enough in the description. this is just me singing to some karaoke track i bought off of the internet.

    James

  • @vmcdonald16 Oh wow, Im so sorry. I just lost my brother in May of this year (2010). Its so hard. I just cant imagine losing 3 so close like that. Were they in the service?

  • @vmcdonald16 SO SORRY ABOUT YOUR BROTHERS...BUT..NEVER HAS JAMES DEAN EVER CLAIMED TO BE ANYONE BUT HIMSELF...HOWEVER,HE IS BECOMING TO THE SONG...

    I HAVE LOST MANY IN MY LIFE...I KNOW THE LOSS....

  • @76oldlady I decided to get back on your web site..I know now what I did..I started out on James Deans site..and went from there ..you sound somewhat like him.

    I just wanted you to know that I listened to several and I really like your voice and you sing this very well..

    So I will keep up with all you do on here..and enjoy ....Thanks for letting me know....Good luck to you..
