Luke's brother Chris died in a car accident in 2000. Seven years later, Luke's sister, Kelly, died suddenly of unknown causes, leaving her husband, Ben, to care for their three children. When Ben passed away seven years after that Luke and his wife took in their two neices and nephew to raise with their own two boys
See my dad is a dick. He flat out called me and my 3 other siblings a fucking mistake. Who calls there kids a mistake? Like why??? I attempted suicide a week later. I'm still here and doing better but I never got the why he said it from him.
This song was co-written by Chris Stapleton and yes he does the background vocals. Chris was Luke's older brother killed in a car accident and Kelly was his sister. After Kelly's husband died Luke took in her kids to raise.
Oh my god this song is so relatable for me and here's why. When I was about 9 years old, my favorite grandpa who has been for me all my life and always found a way to get a smile on my face told me after giving a motorcycle ride that once I was old enough to get my drivers license, we'll go get my bikers license together and ride together. So now last year starting in march I took the drivers ed class and was eligible to get my drivers license in September. It got postponed due to going out of town for things here and there and we finally found a day on November 21st of 2019. I was so excited because I had plans to call my grandpa that day to tell him I passed my drivers test and we'll be able to go biking together just like he said when I was 9. But it turns out he himself passed away on the 20th of November, a day before I was scheduled for my drivers test. I've never cried so hard before in my life (I'm even crying as I'm writing this). Just knowing that I will never see him again and I'll never have a chance to ride with him together is the worst feeling ever. I miss you grandpa. After he passed away we went up to his house and started clearing it out (my grandma passed away the same year in February so it was empty). We found a picture of him wearing his motorcycle jacket. I told my mom that I want that jacket to remember him, we almost couldn't find it and in the last place we looked, there it was, on his motorcycle in the garage. I cried when I put it on the first time because I just missed him that badly. I want people to go ahead and spend time with your elders when you can because even though we're in a shitty situation with the coronavirus, your grandparents still love you a ton and always will. Please call them because time will stop one day and you'll regret everything you didn't do with them.
Where do you even get your information? Lol theres so many articles that prove luke did not write it. Just released it because of his family situation. Still goes with how he felt but he didnt write it
My dad died back in May, 2019. In service to his country. The USAF has taken him clear on the other side of the country on important intel work, when on the way back, he died in a car wreck. And right now it don’t make sense. I can’t make it all make sense. Funny how the good ones go. Always too soon, but only the good Lord knows why. Yes. I’ve always loved the story and poignancy behind the words. I have memories attached to them, thanks to the time it came out on the radio. But the picture’s so much more stark now. I’m crying as I watch this, because as much as I resent my dad’s service and what the military took from my family....he was my dad. My abba. We never did drink beer together (I was underage mostly...I’m only now 26). But we had some dang good times. I love you, dad.
I'm so sorry for your loss. February 24th will be 3 years without my dad who also was in the USAF. There is a gaping hole in my heart and families, that will never be repaired here on earth. He was 58,but I thank the Lord he was in my life as long as he was. He was a remarkable man, as I'm sure your father was. I have worn waterproof mascara everyday since he died because you never know when the pain of the loss will hit, but we have to be greatful to have had them in our lives. My deepest condolences to you and your family. ❤🇺🇸
I had a similar thing with the song "You Should Be Here" it was my sisters favorite but still pretty new she passed and if we turned on the radio it was always on. She was 23, passed away during a seizure, so it really hit hard and I still cry hearing that song.
100% can relate to this song!! I think about my friends everyday and to this day still don't know why!! I also don't drink/smoke and I'm 29 years old, never have and never will!!!
My Grandma Verna passed 1-8-2010 a week before her 80th birthday from cancer. We (my mom, sister, aunt's and cousins) still go to Girl's Weekend for her birthday every year and get the same rooms we had while she was still alive. The same band plays that weekend where we stay and calls their show "Verna's birthday party". My sister got married in May of 2010 and I got married in October of 2010 and we both had her wedding ring with us. I had mine sewn into my dress right above my heart. She was the best lady I've ever known and I can't wait to see her again. ♥️
Me and my best friend Paul always had our “Sunday Fundays”. We would go to different places, eat different foods, try different drinks, watch weird movies, we would go to our favorite bar...there were a few times we ended up going to this over look spot at the lake. The sunsets were always beautiful. We wouldn’t talk. We would just sit. And drink a beer. I always felt like his own spiritual time, as he wasn’t a very spiritually open person. The time spent was some of my favorites ever. He passed away May 24, 2014. His birthday is coming up in 9 days. I’ll probably go back home to visit that spot and drink a beer.
I would be so sad & so happy at the same time if I got to sit right here on the edge of this PCB pier with Luke himself & drank a beer while feeling sad emotions from who’ve I’ve lost & who Luke lost yet be so DAMN happy to be in PCB with Uuuhhhhmmmmm.....Mr fine ass Luke Bryan .....this would be HEAVEN !! Love me some Luke & PCB 2020 💞
My mom lost her battle with cancer on mar 4 2016. At her memorial service this song was played. She liked to drink beer out of a glass so we had a toast for her everyone drinking out of a glass in her honor. A couple of days ago I was driving down the road thinking about that (as it's getting close to that anniversary) when I changed the radio and this song came on.
Totally relatable for me. Back in 2013 I lost my mom, my godfather which was also my uncle, and then my best friend (he was nine years younger than me)...all in a span of 5 months. After talking to my best friends mom, I had found out he was alone and that I had texted him right around the time he was passing away. I can’t listen to this song without shedding a tear.
I have lost 5 people since the start of 2020, this song has been on my playlist for years when I lost my first friend to suicide.. Luke Bryan has saved my life in more ways that I can count.
I lost 4 my self August 2019 my bestfriend, November 12 my Aunt that I spoke to multiple times a day ,December 6 my father was killed in Illinois while I was in Birmingham with my husband in ICU and couldn't make the funeral and then December 20th my husband passed away. The last 4 months of 2019 was a living hell for me.
My deepest condolences and most loving prayers go out to both of you and your families. I can’t even imagine the pain you two are going through. Maybe God comfort and bless the two of you with His grace and love.
My aunt passed from breast cancer....her & my uncle always used to fish off their pier...(they lived in Florida).....this song helped him get through....
I had a good friend named Jay, and this song will always be his to me. He was a postmaster, a youth league umpire and owner of a small karaoke club with his wife. He was an absolutely adoring husband, a loving dad, a great friend and a proud veteran. One morning, he got up, got ready, got on his motorcycle and headed to work at the post office. At an intersection, a teenager who was texting and driving blew through a red light in his big suv. A motorcycle vs an suv. If you're operating a 2,000 pound, flammable object made of glass and metal, put your fucking phone down. Once you've taken a life, you can't take it back. You've rung a bell that you just can't unring. It won't matter if you're sorry, if you didn't mean to, if you just looked away for a split second. Someone is dead solely because of you. A family shattered, a kid's life ruined, his family's lives torn apart. Just don't fucking do it. The cost is immeasurable.
I was 19, 32 now I'm actually from leesburg GA. Home of Luke. Anyway I got into a wreck at 19 and my best friend didn't make it. I dont remember anything. This song when it came out spoke to me and got me threw some hard times. Luke and his wife Caroline are amazing people. Chris and Kelly are his siblings that have passed. Luke's brother Chris died in a car accident in the 90's. Luke's sister Kelly, we believe had a brain hemorrhage, but no one really knows.
This song reminds me of my big brother who committed suicide 9 year's ago and the love of my life who died 7 year's ago. Alot of good memorie's drinking beer and hanging out with them. I miss them so much. Your comment about drinking and never smoking made me smile. That's awesome. You're not missing out on anything.
Yeah Chris Stapleton is singing background. Chris actually wrote the song and Luke connected so much to it that Chris gave it to him than recording it himself
I have an aunt that passed away a couple of years ago due to a brain aneurysm. It was very sudden. My dad (who I haven’t spoken too in 3 years) decided not to tel me about her death until 2 1/2 weeks later. It was horrible. I wasn’t super close to her but to be honest she was the only kind, responsible, caring adult in that family. This song was fairly new and still pretty popular when that happened and I’ve always felt a connection to it. It helped me feel like I wasn’t alone
This song will always hold a special part of my heart. After two months of my grandfathers health getting worse my sister and I were driving to go visit him. We had just over an hour to go and we’re going through mountains with no service. We both looked at each other and said we felt weird. When we got out of the mountains less than 10 min later we got the call that he had passed. Immediately after this song came on the radio. It’s been 6 years now and I miss him everyday.
My best friend’s dad the day before my birthday. I grew up without a dad and he kind of filled those shoes. He included me in everything that he did with his boys. About 5 years later my best friend his second son died. He was a Corpsman with Fleet Marine For e during Desert Storm and got exposed to something over there. It took a toll on his body, but never his spirt. I cry when I hear this song and think of them.
This definitely hits home for me I discharged from active duty with the U.S. Navy and went reserves back in 2015 in the first 2-3 years after I got out I lost 3-5 close friends that I served with to suicide..that whole 22 vets a day is 100% accurate I had a beer for each one when they passed
This hits home I had a friend from Jr high through highschool into adulthood she was one I could depend on she stayed through my low times a 🧠 anyeusm took her.
I relate so well to this not because O lost siblings who are all thankfully still alive but my dad. My family from his side live in Southern Illinois. My dad always took me fishing. I was young so obviously didnt drink a beer with him in those days but we would sit on a pier and fish and watch sunsets together. As well as sunrises. And even Though I grew up in Chicago, I was a city girl loving country music my whole life.
This is exactly how I felt when my last grandfather passed 4 years ago, was hoping he would hang on just a little longer to meet his great grandson but the good lord needed another angel but now I just tell my son all the stories I have of my grandfather to keep his memory alive.
I go to our family cabin, sit on the dock with a Macnaughton's (whiskey) in my hand and drink to my sister (gone almost 21 years) and my dad (gone 3 1/2 years). Macnaughton's was his drink. This song brings a tear to my eye and comfort to my heart. Thanks!
We lost my wife’s cousin a few years ago. After we left the hospital we went out to eat the restaurant was playing music and the next song we heard was Luke Bryan Drink a beer. Needless to say we all started balling our eyes out.
This song hits me every time. Such a great tribute to I believe his brother. (someone correct me if I'm wrong about the relationship. This was a real loss that I believe he wrote about.)
I totally believe you about you not drinking, smoking, etc...and my hat goes off to you! Regarding Luke....he is one of the most beloved country artist out there. His music is awesome and his songs..especially the ones that have true meaning to him and are about his family are just perfect. He is loves his family and his fans!!! Chris is his brothers who died and a few years later Chris’s wife passed and then Luke and his wife took the children in and our raising them with there own children as there own. Also, I just want to say to whomever could possibly thumbs down this song or video is HEARTLESS!!
Chris helped write the song, so Luke asked him to sing with him. This was before anyone really knew who he was, and I’m pretty sure this performance lead to him getting a record deal of his own.
Both of Luke’s siblings have passed away, so that’s what the dedication is for and yes that is Chris Stapleton in the background he was one of the writers on this song.
Its relatable for me. While I didn't drink a beer with my dad cuz I was too young, I spent many days fishing off a pier with him while he drank a beer. And his love of country music solidifies for me. I too love country music. I was raised on it. I grew up in Chicago but spent a lot of time in southern Illinois. I am a proud Hillbilly. My dad passed in 2011
I remember drinking on the deck at the river, remembering all the time I had been with my boyfriend. It was the day after my 19th birthday, and I had to get away, because he had just killed himself. Never going to forget my 19th birthday nor the day after, because I remember this song coming on the radio, and just breaking down. Fast forward 9 years later, and I just had a friend lose all memory of me because of a ton of seizures. I am still dealing with this kind of stuff, and it still hurts.
Yes that is Chris Stapleton, who is actually the one who wrote this song. He lost his father about the same time that Luke Bryan lost the last one of his siblings. He asked Chris to come sing this song, and after asking him he told him that he should not even ask due to his dad dying. Someone may have told you all this before but figured I would say the same again. hope this helps. Plus this song has huge dealings with me and my fallen buddies and friends and family. Wish it had come out a few years ago but it fits all the times in the past when I lost friends.
Love Luke Bryan and love this song. Coincidentally, my grandfather passed away this exact day. A few days after his death, and I'm watching one of my favourite CZcamsrs react to this song on the day of his death. What a world!
This song hits hard. Especially this time of year. March 17, 2018 my Dad passed very suddenly. The 24th of this month will be his second birthday in Heaven. Sometimes we just need to cry. Thanks BYSE.
Scars to your beautiful- Alessia Cara If I die young-The Band Perry First man- Camila Cabello this song with bring out all the emotions I promise! Die from a broken heart -Maddie and Tae Better together-Luke Combs I don’t dance-Lee Brice Amnesia- 5 Seconds of Summer Please do these songs!!
I remember when he wrote this for his brother and sister who passed away close to each other this song means a lot to him and he sings it with so much heart
My uncle Joe took his own life about 2 and a half years ago and now I’m sitting in a hospital room crying holding my newborn son that I named after him thinking about how much he would’ve loved to meet him 😭 it’s crazy how music has a way of getting to you ❤️
My best friend and roommate, Kim, who I knew for 15 years, had an aneurysm. I got the message from her daughter. I was hurt and medicated, but still made it to the hospital. After I saw her and broke down, this song came on the radio in the car, and had to pull over and break down again. We had another friend, Toby, who was closer to me than my brothers, that we lost a couple years before. This song makes me think of both of them, and yeah I teared up. Thanks for reacting to this.
It's very relatable for me. Sometimes you have loved ones (family and friends) who loved to have a beer or a glass of wine or a glass of whiskey, and when you lose them (and I have lost both), you give them a "cheers" and raise a glass out of love, respect, and remembrance.
Well brother I commented before this was my song that reminds me of my dad who didn't drink. Now my mom has passed. She didn't drink either. I believe the drink a beer is meaning sit down and talk, fish, or whatever y'all did together. So this is now the one that I think of for both my parents.
It's so relatable! I had a friend who lived next door. We didnt grow up together but we'd drink some beers and he'd play the guitar and sing. He took his life so this song brings me to tears every time. He was much much younger than me and it hurts still
Not exactly a beer but me and a fellow firefighter I worked with used to always hit the bar after shift. He would always by the same thing every time, a shot of Jim Beam. He was killed by a distracted driver while we worked a car accident. I still go after shift, I order one for him and I let it sit in the seat next to me until I leave. I ain’t gonna put his name up CZcams but I’ll never forget you brother
I'm way too damn pregnant for this, lol, I'm not crying pretty over here. 😭 My Dad had a heart attack while driving home from work Feb 17, 2014 and never woke up. That "sit right here, on the edge of the pier and drink a beer" gets me everytime. He lived at the beach and that was one of his favorite things to do mid-fall when the tourist season was starting to die down. It was the same pier he stopped at on the way home from the hospital when I was born and where he took his first picture with my daughter when she was born. That pier has never been the same.
I don't know anyone who wouldn't relate. I've experienced a lot of loss over the last 10 years so my new routine is to go out somewhere where I am a regular and have a glass of wine or a mixed drink ( something that is low alcoholic content and designed for enjoying with food or sipping slowly rather than getting drunk off of ) best we can do is make the best of what we got. Like Home Free says ' How Do You want to Remember This.'
Luke's brother Chris died in a car accident in 2000. Seven years later, Luke's sister, Kelly, died suddenly of unknown causes, leaving her husband, Ben, to care for their three children. When Ben passed away seven years after that Luke and his wife took in their two neices and nephew to raise with their own two boys
I was just about to put this out here. You explained it better than I would have. Luke Bryan and his wife are awesome people.
I thought his sister and mother both died?
No his mother is still alive and is hilarious! Look at his wife’s Instagram and she’ll be on there.
See my dad is a dick. He flat out called me and my 3 other siblings a fucking mistake. Who calls there kids a mistake? Like why??? I attempted suicide a week later. I'm still here and doing better but I never got the why he said it from him.
Courtenay Oeltjen hey don’t try to commit suicide. Fuck him he’s probably a drunk broke bastard. Don’t listen to that worthless piece of shit.
That was Luke's brother and sister. They both passed within a year of each other. Luke went on to adopt his nephews as well
Chris Stapleton wrote this song.. lol
@@bigmacbiatch its still dedicated to his siblings... He said it himself
Jared Gaudreau ...and...?
KATHY NOWAK then lost his brother in law and took in his sisters children
@@LewKat74 Luke's brother passed November of 96, Kelly died of a heart attack.
This song was co-written by Chris Stapleton and yes he does the background vocals. Chris was Luke's older brother killed in a car accident and Kelly was his sister. After Kelly's husband died Luke took in her kids to raise.
I still love that Chris does the background vocals for this... writers singing their own songs make me the happiest lol
“Brothers” by Dean Brody. You being a veteran will greatly appreciate the song. Thank you for your service!
I agree, that song is underrated.
Absolutely. Cant believe I haven't thought of this one. Great choice.
my wife cries every time she hears this song
Oh my god this song is so relatable for me and here's why.
When I was about 9 years old, my favorite grandpa who has been for me all my life and always found a way to get a smile on my face told me after giving a motorcycle ride that once I was old enough to get my drivers license, we'll go get my bikers license together and ride together. So now last year starting in march I took the drivers ed class and was eligible to get my drivers license in September. It got postponed due to going out of town for things here and there and we finally found a day on November 21st of 2019. I was so excited because I had plans to call my grandpa that day to tell him I passed my drivers test and we'll be able to go biking together just like he said when I was 9. But it turns out he himself passed away on the 20th of November, a day before I was scheduled for my drivers test. I've never cried so hard before in my life (I'm even crying as I'm writing this). Just knowing that I will never see him again and I'll never have a chance to ride with him together is the worst feeling ever. I miss you grandpa.

I want people to go ahead and spend time with your elders when you can because even though we're in a shitty situation with the coronavirus, your grandparents still love you a ton and always will. Please call them because time will stop one day and you'll regret everything you didn't do with them.
That was Chris Stapleton, he wrote the song!
Thank you!! Everyone keeps saying it's about Luke's family and he didnt even write it
Jared Gaudreau it was about luke, his sister died right before this song came out, even though Chris wrote it, it was still about luke
Jared Gaudreau they also co wrote the song it wasn’t just Chris he just helped write it
Luke didnt write the lyrics at all. Jim beavers wrote the chorus and chris wrote most of the rest.
Where do you even get your information? Lol theres so many articles that prove luke did not write it. Just released it because of his family situation. Still goes with how he felt but he didnt write it
“Rain is a good thing” and “home alone tonight” by Luke :)
Knew the moment I saw the title that BYSE was coming out. Beautiful song.
My dad died back in May, 2019. In service to his country. The USAF has taken him clear on the other side of the country on important intel work, when on the way back, he died in a car wreck.
And right now it don’t make sense. I can’t make it all make sense. Funny how the good ones go. Always too soon, but only the good Lord knows why. Yes.
I’ve always loved the story and poignancy behind the words. I have memories attached to them, thanks to the time it came out on the radio.
But the picture’s so much more stark now. I’m crying as I watch this, because as much as I resent my dad’s service and what the military took from my family....he was my dad. My abba. We never did drink beer together (I was underage mostly...I’m only now 26). But we had some dang good times.
I love you, dad.
I'm so sorry for your loss. February 24th will be 3 years without my dad who also was in the USAF. There is a gaping hole in my heart and families, that will never be repaired here on earth. He was 58,but I thank the Lord he was in my life as long as he was. He was a remarkable man, as I'm sure your father was. I have worn waterproof mascara everyday since he died because you never know when the pain of the loss will hit, but we have to be greatful to have had them in our lives. My deepest condolences to you and your family. ❤🇺🇸
When this song first came out. I was leaving my father's funeral and this song started on the radio. So my song to my Dad.
I had a similar thing with the song "You Should Be Here" it was my sisters favorite but still pretty new she passed and if we turned on the radio it was always on. She was 23, passed away during a seizure, so it really hit hard and I still cry hearing that song.
100% can relate to this song!! I think about my friends everyday and to this day still don't know why!! I also don't drink/smoke and I'm 29 years old, never have and never will!!!
My father passed in 2022 and this was the song my brother picked for my sisters to play at his services.
My brother is an Army Vet
My Grandma Verna passed 1-8-2010 a week before her 80th birthday from cancer. We (my mom, sister, aunt's and cousins) still go to Girl's Weekend for her birthday every year and get the same rooms we had while she was still alive.

The time spent was some of my favorites ever.
He passed away May 24, 2014. His birthday is coming up in 9 days. I’ll probably go back home to visit that spot and drink a beer.
So glad you caught Chris Stapleton in the back too. I just noticed it after all these times watching this.
That song I love. I lost my 38 year old son on 9/11/2018. And i play that song a lot. It's hard to lose someone you're close to...miss you Roggy
I would be so sad & so happy at the same time if I got to sit right here on the edge of this PCB pier with Luke himself & drank a beer while feeling sad emotions from who’ve I’ve lost & who Luke lost yet be so DAMN happy to be in PCB with Uuuhhhhmmmmm.....Mr fine ass Luke Bryan .....this would be HEAVEN !! Love me some Luke & PCB 2020 💞
Billy, I am a Navy Veteran (1991-2004), and I'm also a unicorn. I have not drank, smoked, or done any drugs. Thanks for your service brother!!
My mom lost her battle with cancer on mar 4 2016. At her memorial service this song was played.

A couple of days ago I was driving down the road thinking about that (as it's getting close to that anniversary) when I changed the radio and this song came on.
Yes it is Chris and this is one of his best!!
Totally relatable for me. Back in 2013 I lost my mom, my godfather which was also my uncle, and then my best friend (he was nine years younger than me)...all in a span of 5 months.
After talking to my best friends mom, I had found out he was alone and that I had texted him right around the time he was passing away. I can’t listen to this song without shedding a tear.
I lost my best friend of over 30 years back in October 2021. this song hits me to my heart.
I have lost 5 people since the start of 2020, this song has been on my playlist for years when I lost my first friend to suicide.. Luke Bryan has saved my life in more ways that I can count.
I lost 4 my self August 2019 my bestfriend, November 12 my Aunt that I spoke to multiple times a day ,December 6 my father was killed in Illinois while I was in Birmingham with my husband in ICU and couldn't make the funeral and then December 20th my husband passed away. The last 4 months of 2019 was a living hell for me.
My deepest condolences and most loving prayers go out to both of you and your families. I can’t even imagine the pain you two are going through. Maybe God comfort and bless the two of you with His grace and love.
I'm sorry for your loss , I lost my grandpa the same way
My aunt passed from breast cancer....her & my uncle always used to fish off their pier...(they lived in Florida).....this song helped him get through....
I had a good friend named Jay, and this song will always be his to me. He was a postmaster, a youth league umpire and owner of a small karaoke club with his wife. He was an absolutely adoring husband, a loving dad, a great friend and a proud veteran. One morning, he got up, got ready, got on his motorcycle and headed to work at the post office. At an intersection, a teenager who was texting and driving blew through a red light in his big suv. A motorcycle vs an suv.
If you're operating a 2,000 pound, flammable object made of glass and metal, put your fucking phone down. Once you've taken a life, you can't take it back. You've rung a bell that you just can't unring. It won't matter if you're sorry, if you didn't mean to, if you just looked away for a split second. Someone is dead solely because of you. A family shattered, a kid's life ruined, his family's lives torn apart. Just don't fucking do it. The cost is immeasurable.
I've lost some friends in the past few years that makes this song hit home. Addiction rarely ends well and the wake it leaves behind is painful.
I was 19, 32 now I'm actually from leesburg GA. Home of Luke. Anyway I got into a wreck at 19 and my best friend didn't make it. I dont remember anything. This song when it came out spoke to me and got me threw some hard times. Luke and his wife Caroline are amazing people. Chris and Kelly are his siblings that have passed. Luke's brother Chris died in a car accident in the 90's. Luke's sister Kelly, we believe had a brain hemorrhage, but no one really knows.
This is the song I played for my best friend when I found out he wasn't going to recover from his stroke. Listening to it always takes me back there.
That’s awesome you have never tried any substances! This song reminds me of my dad who died 6 yrs ago. I love you and hope you stay blessed.
This song reminds me of my big brother who committed suicide 9 year's ago and the love of my life who died 7 year's ago. Alot of good memorie's drinking beer and hanging out with them. I miss them so much. Your comment about drinking and never smoking made me smile. That's awesome. You're not missing out on anything.
Yeah Chris Stapleton is singing background. Chris actually wrote the song and Luke connected so much to it that Chris gave it to him than recording it himself
I have an aunt that passed away a couple of years ago due to a brain aneurysm. It was very sudden. My dad (who I haven’t spoken too in 3 years) decided not to tel me about her death until 2 1/2 weeks later. It was horrible. I wasn’t super close to her but to be honest she was the only kind, responsible, caring adult in that family. This song was fairly new and still pretty popular when that happened and I’ve always felt a connection to it. It helped me feel like I wasn’t alone
My friend took his life and so I Raise my beer high to my buddy. RIP Chris Stone.
Awe that's great I'm proud of Billy not many people can say they don't drink or smoke..your amazing
This song will always hold a special part of my heart. After two months of my grandfathers health getting worse my sister and I were driving to go visit him. We had just over an hour to go and we’re going through mountains with no service. We both looked at each other and said we felt weird. When we got out of the mountains less than 10 min later we got the call that he had passed. Immediately after this song came on the radio. It’s been 6 years now and I miss him everyday.
My best friend’s dad the day before my birthday. I grew up without a dad and he kind of filled those shoes. He included me in everything that he did with his boys. About 5 years later my best friend his second son died. He was a Corpsman with Fleet Marine For e during Desert Storm and got exposed to something over there. It took a toll on his body, but never his spirt. I cry when I hear this song and think of them.
This definitely hits home for me I discharged from active duty with the U.S. Navy and went reserves back in 2015 in the first 2-3 years after I got out I lost 3-5 close friends that I served with to suicide..that whole 22 vets a day is 100% accurate I had a beer for each one when they passed
Thank you for your service ❤️
This hits home I had a friend from Jr high through highschool into adulthood she was one I could depend on she stayed through my low times a 🧠 anyeusm took her.
I relate so well to this not because O lost siblings who are all thankfully still alive but my dad. My family from his side live in Southern Illinois. My dad always took me fishing. I was young so obviously didnt drink a beer with him in those days but we would sit on a pier and fish and watch sunsets together. As well as sunrises. And even Though I grew up in Chicago, I was a city girl loving country music my whole life.
Extremely relatable. Nicky and I met at this little bar and grill. It become our place. So yes extremely relatable.
This is exactly how I felt when my last grandfather passed 4 years ago, was hoping he would hang on just a little longer to meet his great grandson but the good lord needed another angel but now I just tell my son all the stories I have of my grandfather to keep his memory alive.
It hits home I lot my son almost 2 years ago Yes I under stand this song Deeply💔
It does me. Not for the songs words but right after my dad's funeral. I started my truck and it played.
This was the first song I heard after being told over the phone that my grandmother passed away. Still makes me cry every time
Oh bro , so sorry.
I go to our family cabin, sit on the dock with a Macnaughton's (whiskey) in my hand and drink to my sister (gone almost 21 years) and my dad (gone 3 1/2 years). Macnaughton's was his drink. This song brings a tear to my eye and comfort to my heart. Thanks!
Yes I believe that is Chris Stapleton behind Luke Bryan
We lost my wife’s cousin a few years ago. After we left the hospital we went out to eat the restaurant was playing music and the next song we heard was Luke Bryan Drink a beer. Needless to say we all started balling our eyes out.
I love that you managed to pick out Stapleton singing with Luke.
I want to see a reaction video of you listening to huntin,fishinandlovin every day by Luke Bryan.
Great song. Might be my favorite of his.
This song hits me every time. Such a great tribute to I believe his brother. (someone correct me if I'm wrong about the relationship. This was a real loss that I believe he wrote about.)
Love this song. So can relate.
Luke's voice breaking in this broke my heart 🤧😌
I relate to this song due to Luke Bryan being my brothers favorite country artist. He passed away in 2015.
Drunk on you - Luke Bryan!! First country song I listened too
I can relate, my best friend died of cancer in 2011 at age 31. Would love to sit on the pier and have a beer with him now
I totally believe you about you not drinking, smoking, etc...and my hat goes off to you! Regarding Luke....he is one of the most beloved country artist out there. His music is awesome and his songs..especially the ones that have true meaning to him and are about his family are just perfect. He is loves his family and his fans!!! Chris is his brothers who died and a few years later Chris’s wife passed and then Luke and his wife took the children in and our raising them with there own children as there own. Also, I just want to say to whomever could possibly thumbs down this song or video is HEARTLESS!!
Hey this song makes me cry every time
This is related to me because my Grandfather passed away from a bike crash incident with the police and it broke my heart in two to hear that he died😢
This song is 100% relatable. Makes me think of my grandad who passed away in April of 2013. That phone call killed me, I had no words.
My brother passed away last month from a heart attack. That night a bunch of his Marine buddies raised them up all night to his memory.
Chris helped write the song, so Luke asked him to sing with him. This was before anyone really knew who he was, and I’m pretty sure this performance lead to him getting a record deal of his own.
Luke is amazing 😍
Love that song.
I lost my brother and niece in a fire...this song makes me cry every time!!
Chris and Kelly were his siblings
Very relatable. Didn't drink beer but my best friend died in a car accident when we were 17.
Both of Luke’s siblings have passed away, so that’s what the dedication is for and yes that is Chris Stapleton in the background he was one of the writers on this song.
Its relatable for me. While I didn't drink a beer with my dad cuz I was too young, I spent many days fishing off a pier with him while he drank a beer. And his love of country music solidifies for me. I too love country music. I was raised on it. I grew up in Chicago but spent a lot of time in southern Illinois. I am a proud Hillbilly. My dad passed in 2011

I remember drinking on the deck at the river, remembering all the time I had been with my boyfriend. It was the day after my 19th birthday, and I had to get away, because he had just killed himself. Never going to forget my 19th birthday nor the day after, because I remember this song coming on the radio, and just breaking down. Fast forward 9 years later, and I just had a friend lose all memory of me because of a ton of seizures. I am still dealing with this kind of stuff, and it still hurts.
Yes, very relatable.
Yes that is Chris Stapleton, who is actually the one who wrote this song. He lost his father about the same time that Luke Bryan lost the last one of his siblings. He asked Chris to come sing this song, and after asking him he told him that he should not even ask due to his dad dying. Someone may have told you all this before but figured I would say the same again. hope this helps. Plus this song has huge dealings with me and my fallen buddies and friends and family. Wish it had come out a few years ago but it fits all the times in the past when I lost friends.
Love Luke Bryan and love this song. Coincidentally, my grandfather passed away this exact day. A few days after his death, and I'm watching one of my favourite CZcamsrs react to this song on the day of his death. What a world!
I can relate to this song! I don't think another person alive can make you feel this song like Luke! My heart goes out to him! God Bless you!💯💯💯
This song hits hard. Especially this time of year. March 17, 2018 my Dad passed very suddenly. The 24th of this month will be his second birthday in Heaven. Sometimes we just need to cry. Thanks BYSE.

I still am a crybaby when it comes to this song!!! Miss you brother💔
I miss my brother too. Life will never be the same.
When my I found out my brother died this song came on when I was driving to work I had to pull over and just let my emotions out thank you Luke
the guy behind luke in the cowboy hat is chris stapleton. he wrote this song and i would highly reccomend you listen to his version. its awesome
This is an Awesome song. We just lost our daughter on 7/13/20! This song has helped the both of us. Thank you just for listening
This song is so very relateble
I remember when he wrote this for his brother and sister who passed away close to each other this song means a lot to him and he sings it with so much heart
My uncle Joe took his own life about 2 and a half years ago and now I’m sitting in a hospital room crying holding my newborn son that I named after him thinking about how much he would’ve loved to meet him 😭 it’s crazy how music has a way of getting to you ❤️
So relatable.
My dad used to play this in his truck. And listening to it now it reminds me of the old days.
This is for my friend that took his own life I know so many more that have done the same. Thank you for this!
My best friend and roommate, Kim, who I knew for 15 years, had an aneurysm. I got the message from her daughter. I was hurt and medicated, but still made it to the hospital. After I saw her and broke down, this song came on the radio in the car, and had to pull over and break down again.
We had another friend, Toby, who was closer to me than my brothers, that we lost a couple years before.
This song makes me think of both of them, and yeah I teared up. Thanks for reacting to this.
It's very relatable for me. Sometimes you have loved ones (family and friends) who loved to have a beer or a glass of wine or a glass of whiskey, and when you lose them (and I have lost both), you give them a "cheers" and raise a glass out of love, respect, and remembrance.
Love your reactions and you are too funny 💘
My favorite Luke Bryan song. And it’s amazing to see Chris there since he wrote it!
Oh, it’s relatable!!! It’s very hard!
Well brother I commented before this was my song that reminds me of my dad who didn't drink. Now my mom has passed. She didn't drink either. I believe the drink a beer is meaning sit down and talk, fish, or whatever y'all did together. So this is now the one that I think of for both my parents.
Extremely extremely relatable
My favorite Luke song
It's so relatable! I had a friend who lived next door. We didnt grow up together but we'd drink some beers and he'd play the guitar and sing. He took his life so this song brings me to tears every time. He was much much younger than me and it hurts still
Not exactly a beer but me and a fellow firefighter I worked with used to always hit the bar after shift. He would always by the same thing every time, a shot of Jim Beam. He was killed by a distracted driver while we worked a car accident. I still go after shift, I order one for him and I let it sit in the seat next to me until I leave. I ain’t gonna put his name up CZcams but I’ll never forget you brother
I'm way too damn pregnant for this, lol, I'm not crying pretty over here. 😭 My Dad had a heart attack while driving home from work Feb 17, 2014 and never woke up. That "sit right here, on the edge of the pier and drink a beer" gets me everytime. He lived at the beach and that was one of his favorite things to do mid-fall when the tourist season was starting to die down. It was the same pier he stopped at on the way home from the hospital when I was born and where he took his first picture with my daughter when she was born. That pier has never been the same.
This song was playing the day I heard my uncle passed. It was Easter weekend, he was my best friend, not just my uncle. RIP uncle Charlie
I don't know anyone who wouldn't relate. I've experienced a lot of loss over the last 10 years so my new routine is to go out somewhere where I am a regular and have a glass of wine or a mixed drink ( something that is low alcoholic content and designed for enjoying with food or sipping slowly rather than getting drunk off of ) best we can do is make the best of what we got.
