    You're correct. This song is not just about gambling. It is about life in general, and playing the hand that you've been dealt in life.

    Sweetie give yourself credit, I have listened to quite a few of your reactions you are so smart and your intuition is so on point! This song was meant as a lesson for life using gambling as the stage for the lesson. Well done!❤

      I think this is my favorite from Kenny (RIP😔). Such an awesome song 👍🔥. Also, the *AUTHENTIC RESPECT and FRIENDSHIP* between Kenny and Lionel Richie was *So GREAT to SEE 👀!!!* USA for Africa 🌍 🎵🎶🫡🥹😌; Lady 🎶🎵🔥..... If Kenny was still with us, I wonder 🤔 if he would have enjoyed being a Judge on American Idol like Lionel Richie has been for a few years now??

    You're right it does apply to life too. I know you like Home Free. They were asked by Kenny to do a song with him.Children where I send thee. They also covered The Gambler as a tribute when Kenny passed. ☮️

  • @angelskunk2206
    @angelskunk2206 Před rokem +15

    Yep, every hand, if played right, is a winner and every hand, played wrong, could lose it for you.
    It’s how you play the game that determines the outcome. How quickly you stand after you’ve fallen. How graciously you win & how well you handle the losses..knowing when it’s your time to shine and when to take a step back and celebrate the bright light of your brother’s success. This song is the perfect metaphor of how to handle life. Kenny has many great songs and he’s the best storyteller ❤
    I’d also like to suggest Humble and Kind/Tim McGraw ❤❤

    @dagmar.6954 Před rokem +7

    Love Kenny Rogers music from when he was with the First Edition (60's-70's) to his solo career. He was a great story teller in many of his songs like "Coward Of The County" & "The Gambler". He had so many hits "Lucille", "Lady", "Through the Years" etc. He did a lot of duets such as with Kim Carnes "Don't Fall In Love With A Dreamer", with Sheena Easton "We've Got Tonight" & with Dolly Parton "Islands In The Stream". He also did quite a few duets with Dottie West.

    • @bananamix7847

    I heard a quote that i really liked, paraphrasing, "in life we have a choice as to how we are going to live. We can choose to be a victim and blame everything bad that has happened to us for our lack of success. Or we can choose to be a victor and point to every bad thing that happened to us and how we overcame them to be successful"

    Those background vocals are Kenny Rodgers, except for the bass voice. You nailed the message of the song. Loved this reaction. You have a great personality.

    Got to see Kenny in concert at the Greensboro coliseum.
    Poker is a game of psychology. I won 3 90 player holdem tournaments in 2 weeks plus others. 1 was 1000+. Paid a few bills with the winnings.
    I do the same with quotes. I never had nice stuff in office (other than my Notre Dame marbles) I would print quotes and tape them to the wall. When people would come in my office I would stall giving them time to read. Then I would hear them repeat them.

You seem to have a good head on your shoulders kid, go out and make memories

    Love your channel. You’re reacting to some of my favorite singers. Another favorite Kenny Rogers song is Through the Years. Kenny Rogers and Dolly Parton toured together back in the day. Their duet Islands in the Stream is considered one of the best duets ever. It was also written by Barry Gibbs of The Bee Gees.

In 1982 he began as a country music artist, but his music branched out across multiple genres of music including rock, bluegrass, folk music, and the blues.🎶❤‍🔥 So, Shon get ready to jam out with some rocking, soulful bluesy goodness.

    the terminology is "emotional intelligence"-- and being able to read someones non verbal cues and emotional intelligence/facial expressions -- is a crucial communication skill- sometimes people wont verbalize how they feel, but you can tell by just reading their body language. "And somewhere in the night, the gambler he broke even, but in his FINAL words I found an ace that i could keep"-- he died in his sleep-- but he left his friend a solid piece of life advice
