I don’t even play guitar, but absolutely love your channel, your reviews, your enthusiasm and your insights. All of that resonates with my love of music
Vince is one of the greatest musicians the world has been fortunate enough to have. Unbelievably distinct and incredible voice not to mention his ridiculous guitar skills. Wow.
I’ve been to many funerals that played this song it gets me every time I hear it.Sorry for your loss we all must stand by faith in Jesus and his promise that we will see them again. So it’s just see you later see you we I get there
Maybe the 3rd or 4th song I learned years ago. Very simple melody and easy to play, but never failed to bring the room to a halt and get everyone listening. Of course as soon as I realized everyone had stopped talking and was listening to me, then I would forget the words :-D
I love this song, my dad passed not long ago I wanted to play and sing this for him but life intervened and my blood pressure shot up and I had a stroke the same day he died. I'm ok but it screwed up my fine motor skills so at least for now I cant play or sing. Thanks for doing this I just had flash backs of how much I love my father
Played this song at my best friends funeral. Great song and I still can't make it through the whole thing even after 20+ years. I miss you boom. Thank you Michael for doing this song.
Another amazing feature of the song is Vince’s references to his friend Keith Whitley, whose death inspired the song. “I’m no stranger to the rain” is one of Keith’s hit songs. Also the lyrics about “facing the devil” come from that song. Whitley died of alcoholism. So sorry for the loss of your friend. May he Rest In Peace.
Michael, it is unbelievable, to me at least ,that you released this today. I was at the Emergency Room at our local hospital last night waiting to be seen. Sitting there scrolling through my phone when a CZcams video of this song being performed be Vince, Allison Krause and Ricky Skaggs popped up. I told my wife right there that I wanted this song to be played when I was laid to final rest. Thank you for choosing it as well.
My favorite cousin was killed yesterday on his motorcycle. A 24 year old girl turned directly in front of him. Usually I rode right behind him. My front tire in beside his back tire. But I wasn’t there. That is why I’m here to learn this song. Thank you
PLEASE go and watch the version he played at the memorial service for George Jones. He falls apart while singing, and it is agonizingly BEAUTIFUL! Love your channel!!!
Condolences for your friend Adam. This song brings so many people comfort in the time of grief. I worked in the funeral industry and this song gets me e every time.
Michael, sorry to your and your friends family for the loss. Please keep doing this series! Being on GuitarGate and following you here on CZcams has taught me so much- that I can now understand most of what you point out. A beautiful song, a beautiful performance. I was entertained, inspired, and learned a lot! Thank you
I clicked on this and it was so perfect the way you were talking about your friend because I was just driving back to Bryon Bay from Brisbane and this old friend came to my mind who I wouldn't have seen for 30 years at least and who I'm pretty sure perceived me with the vision of Christ so saw me where I really abide and not as I saw myself. And I was crying thinking of that and then I got home and heard you speak of your friend who it sounded like you have not run into for eons because of the way things have unfolded yet you know that your relationship is TIMELESS because the LOVE and brotherhood and GIVE is always present and you met in LOVE where there is no TIME. Funny though I clicked on your link in my email box as I thought you were doing "Go Tell it on the Mountain". :)
This song gets me every time... this was played at my grandfathers funeral and I cried like a baby hearing it for the first time... and I still cry hearing it to this day... that's a testament to the power of music... beautiful choice of song, brother!!
Can’t believe I found this today. Just left you a post a couple weeks ago how much I enjoy your channel. This song, as all know, was written about Vince’s brother; could have been written about my brother. We lost him at 32 yrs old in a tragic drowning accident… this song came out about 2 weeks after he left us. Needless to say, it means much to my family. Thank you for doing this.
Hi Michael. Your channel is full of all the emotions of life. I hope everyone who watched this listened until the end. It takes balls to be vulnerable. If you didn't allow yourself to share those things, we wouldn't get to know you. Many times people who have CZcams channels don't allow themselves to open up, and I fully understand why. Your channel, on the other hand, is enhanced by your ability to communicate with the rest of the world in an honest, open fashion. Thank you for all you are doing. May you all find peace in the loss of your friend. God Speed
Beautiful song, man. During your intro I could see you were deep in thought when playing. The best country tunes have a way of stirring up something inside of us. When those harmonies kick in they tear your heart out (in the best way) Music is the ultimate healer.
Hey Michael, I am so very sorry for your loss. I'm glad you mentioned Adam's name. We've heard his name and now, we'll not forget it. I wish you, your family and Adam's family all the strength you will need in this brutally difficult time. All the best.
Thank you so much for posting this. I love what you said about creating space and dynamics. It’s so easy to over play songs like this because people are afraid or lack confidence to sit in the space.
Hey Micheal Vince started to write this song after the great Keith Whitley died. He finished when his brother in law died in a car accident. You gotta know who Keith was... If not you tube him. Kieth was married to another great country artist Lori Morgan. Keith had a life long battle with alcoholism. Lori had to resort near the end to tying their legs together so he wouldn't sneak away when she was asleep. He died of alcohol poisoning. Two great losses for vince created this masterpiece.So sorry for your loss. Rest in the love of your wife and your faith. Keep up the good work brother.
@Vince Gill Official Inbox it would be an honor. When I call your name is one of the greatest songs ever written. And yours and Pattie Lovelace harmony are heavenly. Also I've been a fan of your wife since her touring with De Garmo and Key. Your music has always been a huge part of my life. Thanks for all you do
You are absolutely right. This is the finest song ever written. Vince Gill has set the precedent of superb and outstanding vocals...melodies..and songwriting. Thank you for recognizing this beautiful song and the master who wrote and sings it.
I love the idea of this series. I hate ranking songs, but I love collections of greats and learning what makes them great. I just don't know enough, I think, to know why I think they are great. I don't know why Prine's "Far From Me" is great, I just know it is because of how it makes me feel. With this Vince Gill number, the first time I heard this was at my grandmother's funeral. It has always made me think of her. I can't separate the song from that memory and honestly I don't want to. It's sad and beautiful and keeps her in my mind.
I know zero about playing guitar, piano, or anything, but just love your channel Michael. Vince Gill is special. That song gets me every time. I’m 75, just finished a documentary about the rise of Creedance. Loved it. Last night while watching a movie I instantly recognized Sturgill Simpson’s voice. Have just discovered Shakey Graves. Wow! I’m grateful that music brings me joy even if I can’t play a single note. 😋🎶 Thank you Michael . Your reactions are the best!
Sorry about your friend. I lost the last of such friends a few years ago. Listening to music in my basement one night. 10 hours later he was gone. The last song I turned him on to was the old standard “How Great Thou Art”, but the version with Vince Gill and Carrie Underwood during the ACM Awards “Girls Night Out”. I told him I cry like a baby every time I watch it. He didn’t believe me. This was very early in her career and she looks so tiny, but the power she generates-I can’t remember seeing anything else like it. And in the background, there is Vince Gill, the Guitar Slinger, married to that contemporary christian singer, holding down the fort. Everything you said in your review applies here, times two. His solo, which comes off her very powerful and emotional beginning is so quiet, reverent and understated it could have only been pulled off by someone at his level. This is no ordinary crowd they are playing to either, and the cutaway reaction shots to many of country music’s best players and ending with a rousing, tear filled standing O verifies what a special performance this is. It made a believer out of my buddy Rick and although you probably won’t need a good cry for a while, I’m sure you will dig it. Cheers! The best cut here on YT is 5:42 long and posted by Peter Dennison.
Just subscribed to your channel. Sorry for the loss of your friend. This song was played and my Grandfather's funeral. Man, I'm a metal head, have been for over 40 years. But I do listen to different genres, this is one of the most beautiful songs composed. I do play, well did and stopped for a while. I've started back, with my son. I have an eye disease, that's taking my eyesight, so I had to stop doing(working), for almost 30 years. I'm disabled, as far as my sight. So music has become important again, well it always has been, but the participation had stopped, but have started back. I found your channel, last night. You were doing a video about Randy Rhoads, Mr. Crowley. So glad your channel popped up. Again, man, I'm very sorry for the loss of your friend. And this is a beautiful song, thanks for sharing the techniques and explaining it.
Great song! I lost my beautiful partner to cancer...way too young. I still grieve 6+ years later. These songs are a way to say goodbye again and again,and to express the sadness. I love your version! Thank you!
I'm sorry for your loss, but happy you'd had such a close friend. Vince sang this for his friend George Jones at his Funeral and Memorial Service. I was lucky to have seen George in a little town in Washington few years before he died. Watching Vince sing, he was crying and I was crying. It's a special song for special friends.
I'm so glad you reviewed this song and this artist. His abilities to write, sing, and play come from a Divine connection to the One who gives all talent. It's also to this same God that He's singing about giving rest to all who will call on Him. Love what you're doing Michael Palmisano!
@Vince Gill Official Inbox Hi Vince. I do appreciate your talent and skill at making great music. You make it look easy. I'm sure the world would do well to hear some of the original "struggles" in learning and growing your craft. I certainly would. Keep up the great work!
Michael, I'm so sorry for the loss of your friend. People don't always understand how hard it is to lose a friend. Vince Gill is such a good artist and this song touches our hearts every time we hear it. It always makes me think of my mother and how I miss her. Keep doing what you're doing sir, it works.
metal and rock try to turn the sadness to anger, but country embraces it. Nothing can get close to how sad folk/country music can be, in the best, most beautiful way.
Sorry for your loss, Michael. This was a wonderful tribute to your friend. I could watch videos like this about Vinve Gill all day every day. My uncle that inspired me to take up guitar so many years ago was a huge fan of Vince and he and I bonded over this kind of music. Thank you for this.
This is one of my favorite songs I am so happy that you chose this for the beginning of this new series. If I remember correctly, this song is a tribute to Keith Whitley. Vince Gill uses some of the lyrics and some of the song titles of Keith Whitley‘s songs as a tribute to him. At least that’s what I remember.I look forward to the rest brother.
So sorry for your loss Michael, praying for you and your friend's family. And thank you for picking this song, absolutely awesome song by one of the best musicians/songwriters/singers of our time. Much love!
‘Sometimes I can’t believe I share as much as I do’ you say in the end Michael! Well I thank you for sharing this and all the other stuff you share as a Guitar teacher, as a musician as a fellow human being. I am not someone who shares, and it gives me a lot of pain, I know this much. But I believe in a good God so I thank you again. For sharing your loss of a special friend. For sharing music with us. God bless you and all who do good deeds❤️🇳🇴
I had the privilege of meeting Vince at a Predators hockey game. He is an avid fan of the team and a season ticket holder. And he sits amongst the fans, not in a box. I ended up standing behind him in a concession line. Super nice guy. Extremely humble and down to earth. It was in between periods so we talked music and guitars for about 15 minutes. He really is a what you see is what you get kinda guy.
This is one of my favorite videos that you’ve ever done, for many reasons. I like Vince Gill. I like this song. I like how you referenced 3 chords and the truth. I like how you explained the chord progression (for a very new guitar learner like me). And I like how you shared your feelings about your friend. I believe that the more you talk about them, the easier it is AND the longer they stay with you. I’m sorry for your loss, and I thank you for sharing.
Sorry for the loss of your friend. As someone who has lost I appreciate you doing this song. I love your channel and how you do things. Vince wrote it for his brother and did write a third verse to this song.
@Vince Gill Official Inbox Hey thanks for the reply on my comment for you video. I would love to be added to your fan account. I actually played and sung that song at my grandpa's funeral in Manchester Tennessee a few years ago. It was a very in the moment all feels and I got through it. He loved when I would play so I had to do that song for him.
So glad to see you back Michael! I hope you were able to find your way out of the funk you were in and find joy in making these videos again as much as we find joy in watching them.
Vince Gill is such an unbelievably talented musician and singer. That voice is one of a kind.
Agreed!!
I don’t even play guitar, but absolutely love your channel, your reviews, your enthusiasm and your insights. All of that resonates with my love of music
Keep watching, pretty soon you'll know more music theory than most guitar players.
Music is like a math problem that you can solve with only your feelings.
Me too!!!
Vince is awesome
Me too. I play trombone.
Vince is one of the greatest musicians the world has been fortunate enough to have. Unbelievably distinct and incredible voice not to mention his ridiculous guitar skills. Wow.
Tears my little heart.
Michael,
I'm so sorry for the loss of your very special friend. May he rest in peace and may his memory never be forgotten. ❤️
I’ve been to many funerals that played this song it gets me every time I hear it.Sorry for your loss we all must stand by faith in Jesus and his promise that we will see them again. So it’s just see you later see you we I get there
Maybe the 3rd or 4th song I learned years ago. Very simple melody and easy to play, but never failed to bring the room to a halt and get everyone listening.
Of course as soon as I realized everyone had stopped talking and was listening to me, then I would forget the words :-D
Thank you, Michael.
'textbook, perfect' yup
bless
Vince Gill's voice is my "gold standard" for male voices.
Great tune, wtg Vince!
For Adam, a true 🐐.
Go rest high on that mountain
I love this song, my dad passed not long ago I wanted to play and sing this for him but life intervened and my blood pressure shot up and I had a stroke the same day he died. I'm ok but it screwed up my fine motor skills so at least for now I cant play or sing.
Thanks for doing this I just had flash backs of how much I love my father
So sorry about your loss and the stroke. Hope you continue to recover and get those motor skills back to play again.
@@scottluck2516 I appreciate it its getting better its slower then I want it to be😏
Played this song at my best friends funeral. Great song and I still can't make it through the whole thing even after 20+ years. I miss you boom. Thank you Michael for doing this song.
It’s my pleasure brother
some heart written songs are just a cut above...especially blessed.
Well said, Michael, about your friend.
Sorry for the loss. God Bless
God damnit Mike! This song always makes me cry.
I lost a family memeber yesterday morning. Last year my Grandma passed 2 days after my bday. I played Go Rest High at her funeral. Thank you for this
Incidentally, Vince started writing this song after Keith Whitley passed away and finished it after losing his brother.
The Avett brothers No hard feelings is one I would put in this category.
Another amazing feature of the song is Vince’s references to his friend Keith Whitley, whose death inspired the song. “I’m no stranger to the rain” is one of Keith’s hit songs. Also the lyrics about “facing the devil” come from that song.
Whitley died of alcoholism.
So sorry for the loss of your friend. May he Rest In Peace.
Beautiful. And that pedal steel player is perfection.
Thanks again MP, condolences from California.
Michael, it is unbelievable, to me at least ,that you released this today. I was at the Emergency Room at our local hospital last night waiting to be seen.

Thank you, i.m from Germany, you find the words, that Touch me. For me, the best Song Ever! Very nice greetings JC Voigt Lübeck, Germany
I'm sorry for your loss. I've been there and I wish I could say something to make it better. ❤💔
PLEASE go and watch the version he played at the memorial service for George Jones. He falls apart while singing, and it is agonizingly BEAUTIFUL! Love your channel!!!

One of my favorite country singers and players! He’s one hell of a guitar slinger too. Plays just the right amount.
You should look at his guitar collection on CZcams, it's crazy good
@Vince Gill Official Inbox sure that would be great

Michael your breakdown of songs and your passion for music is one of the most incredible things I've ever seen.
Great song!
This song gets me every time... this was played at my grandfathers funeral and I cried like a baby hearing it for the first time... and I still cry hearing it to this day... that's a testament to the power of music... beautiful choice of song, brother!!
My condolences to your friend.
And yes very powerful song. Watch him on do this song at George Jones’s funeral.
Agreed. The vocal harmonies with Patty Loveless sends shivers up my spine.
This is an amazing song. Jamey Johnson’s “Lead Me Home” is another incredible song like this one.
I cry every time I hear that song. This one get me a bit too.
Can’t believe I found this today. Just left you a post a couple weeks ago how much I enjoy your channel.

@Vince Gill Official Inbox I'd be honored to be on the list. Please feel free to do so.
Just lost my lil brother mar 6. I feel your pain.
Great ear and insights.
AWESOME !!! No other words could express it.
Beautiful song, man. During your intro I could see you were deep in thought when playing. The best country tunes have a way of stirring up something inside of us. When those harmonies kick in they tear your heart out (in the best way) Music is the ultimate healer.
Vince and patty loveless have the best harmony’s.

The Isaac girls are amazing singer as well.
I feel the same about this song…I play this one all the time
I know zero about playing guitar, piano, or anything, but just love your channel Michael. Vince Gill is special. That song gets me every time. I’m 75, just finished a documentary about the rise of Creedance. Loved it. Last night while watching a movie I instantly recognized Sturgill Simpson’s voice. Have just discovered Shakey Graves. Wow! I’m grateful that music brings me joy even if I can’t play a single note. 😋🎶 Thank you Michael . Your reactions are the best!
Thoughts and prayers to all who have lost someone dear to them.❤️

Everything you said in your review applies here, times two. His solo, which comes off her very powerful and emotional beginning is so quiet, reverent and understated it could have
only been pulled off by someone at his level.
This is no ordinary crowd they are playing to either, and the cutaway reaction shots to many of country music’s best players and ending with a rousing, tear filled standing O verifies what a special performance this is.
It made a believer out of my buddy Rick and although you probably won’t need a good cry for a while, I’m sure you will dig it. Cheers!

Sorry for your loss. And thanks for the lesson’s, and this is a great song. 💔
Beautiful. Sorry for your loss. Music can heal. Also hear John Hiatt’s Friend of Mine (for a musician friend) or Carved in Stone (for a Dad)
Vince Gill is so underrated! He is so talented.
Agree he's talented. But, he has won 22 Grammy Awards, so not too underrated.
I'm so glad you reviewed this song and this artist. His abilities to write, sing, and play come from a Divine connection to the One who gives all talent. It's also to this same God that He's singing about giving rest to all who will call on Him. Love what you're doing Michael Palmisano!
@Vince Gill Official Inbox Hi Vince. I do appreciate your talent and skill at making great music. You make it look easy. I'm sure the world would do well to hear some of the original "struggles" in learning and growing your craft. I certainly would. Keep up the great work!
The first time I heard this song was when Vince and Patti Loveless sang it at George Jones funeral.
Michael, I'm so sorry for the loss of your friend. People don't always understand how hard it is to lose a friend. Vince Gill is such a good artist and this song touches our hearts every time we hear it. It always makes me think of my mother and how I miss her. Keep doing what you're doing sir, it works.
Sending love from Boston. Your buddy sounds like a great guy. Stay spreading the joy of music
An old band member used to tell us it’s not the notes played but the space between. And you hit it dead on the head good vid bro keep em comming!
metal and rock try to turn the sadness to anger, but country embraces it. Nothing can get close to how sad folk/country music can be, in the best, most beautiful way.
This song comforted me after my father died after an extended illness. Thx for sharing.
Sorry for your loss, Michael. This was a wonderful tribute to your friend.
I could watch videos like this about Vinve Gill all day every day. My uncle that inspired me to take up guitar so many years ago was a huge fan of Vince and he and I bonded over this kind of music.

Vince Gill uses some of the lyrics and some of the song titles of Keith Whitley‘s songs as a tribute to him. At least that’s what I remember.I look forward to the rest brother.
True. He didn't finish it until after his brothers death.
So sorry for your loss Michael, praying for you and your friend's family. And thank you for picking this song, absolutely awesome song by one of the best musicians/songwriters/singers of our time. Much love!
I love anything Vince Gile plays
Tears in heaven could be a nice song for this series!
Because true love never ends..people we love are always with us
It is a very simple yet beautiful song.
I met Vince at a guitar show outside of Nashville Tenn and he was so nice and down to earth.
‘Sometimes I can’t believe I share as much as I do’ you say in the end Michael! Well I thank you for sharing this and all the other stuff you share as a Guitar teacher, as a musician as a fellow human being. I am not someone who shares, and it gives me a lot of pain, I know this much. But I believe in a good God so I thank you again. For sharing your loss of a special friend. For sharing music with us. God bless you and all who do good deeds❤️🇳🇴
As someone who had this played at his father's funeral
I appreciate you for talking about this. And loving it as much as I do.
When you play guitar like this, I'll sit all night till sunrise and listen. Beautiful!
Thank you for this one, Michael!
This is the greatest song to remember someone you loved. Rest high on that mountain, Adam. So sorry for your loss, Michael.

I’m all in on this Greatest of All Time series! Love this stuff!
This is one of my favorite videos that you’ve ever done, for many reasons. I like Vince Gill. I like this song. I like how you referenced 3 chords and the truth. I like how you explained the chord progression (for a very new guitar learner like me). And I like how you shared your feelings about your friend. I believe that the more you talk about them, the easier it is AND the longer they stay with you. I’m sorry for your loss, and I thank you for sharing.
Tear jerker of a song, thanks for sharing this. Your emotion and enthusiasm is always appreciated. Sorry for the loss of your friend.
Sorry for the loss of your friend. As someone who has lost I appreciate you doing this song. I love your channel and how you do things. Vince wrote it for his brother and did write a third verse to this song.
@Vince Gill Official Inbox Hey thanks for the reply on my comment for you video. I would love to be added to your fan account. I actually played and sung that song at my grandpa's funeral in Manchester Tennessee a few years ago. It was a very in the moment all feels and I got through it. He loved when I would play so I had to do that song for him.
So glad to see you back Michael! I hope you were able to find your way out of the funk you were in and find joy in making these videos again as much as we find joy in watching them.
