I first heard Mitch sing when he auditioned on TV for Simon Cowell and panel. He sang this song, he wrote it. The story behind this song broke my heart and each person hearing it. He not only lost his dad in this tragic accident he also lost his grandfather and grandmother driving in another (seperate) car and all 3 were killed. Yes, two different cars killing 3 of his beloved family. Brave young man. Delighted his dreams came true. An amazing country voice presented to the world. What a blessing.
He appeared on "America's Got Talent" on Tuesday, June 6, performing this song. As Simon Cowell noted, "You could hear a pin drop." A very moving performance!
I am still keeping track of you Mitch. I know you have a large fan base and your still heading toward the top. What a wonderful family man and one heck of a Country Singer.
I played with Mitch probably 30x at Tootsies back in 2012. He was the most serious player & writer, always had the best originals, even then. I left to chase $ for family obligations. A few years later someone from there told me of his success with “Ask Me How I Know”. Was proud of him as I knew it was through diligence and hard work that got him there and not the hundreds of others who still come and go chasing similar honky tonk dreams. Great to see he’s still working and writing.
I'm ashamed to admit this, but I've never heard of this talented musician, but what I can say is this, as a son and a father to two son's, this song brought me to tears. Beautifully written, heartfelt, and he done an amazing job. I'm an only son, named after my Dad, I lost him to covid Dec 11th 2020, and the hardest thing I've had to do, was meet one of my step-sister's to pick up my Dad's ashes...that was a long emotional ride home. I was 49 when my Dad passed, but I felt like that (his) little boy. Prayers to you brother, for I know that pain of losing a Dad! He lives in your heart and music forever!!
I loved your comment... As a Mum of two sons, I agree with everything you poured from your heart! My Dad passed seven years ago, and somedays it still feels so fresh! 😢 . I pray God will hold you especially close as you grieve the passing of your Dad. 🫂
So sorry for your loss bro, I don’t know what it’s like to lose a dad but I do know what its like to lose loved ones and it’s the hardest thing in the world. I’ve lost all 4 of my great grandparents and then my grandfather in the span of the last 4 years. And then last Monday I just lost my dog who was my best friend for 12 years. Life is tough and it’s short, but thats the beautiful thing about it, we have to learn to be grateful for every single day we wake up to spend another day with our friends, family, pets, loved ones in general.
Yup ... I'm falling down the Mitch Rossell rabbit hole after that heart-wrenching performance on America's Got Talent. Glad to see he's been doing the work, so success can hit him immediately. He's ready.
He was on americas got talent , this year..dont knowvhowvwell he did, but he must have done something right ! Hes playing at the grand ol opera! Good for him! This song made me cry!
Wow! Thank YOU! Can't believe I can say Mitch Rossell replied to a comment. Truly made my day! I've been a huge Garth fan my whole life and have got to see him a lot since his comeback and so glad to hear you say how he really is the man I've looked up to for so long. I've been listening to your music since you wrote his number 1 "Ask me How I Know," and I absolutely love your music as that prompted me to find more of your stuff. I heard you sing this for the first time at Notre Dame the second time of the Stadium Tour but couldn't find it until recently. Crazy, I will be taking a screenshot of this and sending it to my nephew, who I've raised as my son, and he's a huge fan of both you two as well. God is amazing. You can't make this stuff up. Your response just brought a "father and son" closer in many ways. God bless you, man! What a blessing to someday get to meet you and Garth. Keep doing what is obviously your calling.
@@jcrider392 I really appreciate all the kind words man, really grateful to have your support as well. Looking forward to shaking both of y’all’s hands one day! 👊
@MitchRossell Amen, brother! Would be a blessing for sure. I've always said I think what makes Garth, well Garth is his genuine passion for his fans and knows his gifts are from God. So no surprise, you two are close friends as you're responding to comments from fans, I'll be showing these to so many people so they can see what I mean. Thanks so much!
Son Lyrics My mom was always running Chasing after something I heard you couldn't tell her nothing When she was 19 She met my daddy And took off in his t-top Chevy But it went from hot to heavy When they found out about me Every other weekend Was all I got to see him Sometimes he'd come get me And we'd hit Tellico Creek We'd take that boat and drop it Grab the rods and reels and hop in He'd open up that tackle box And he'd open up to me And he'd say Son I hope you know how much I love you And when you're not with me I'm always thinking of you You're the drive inside my heart The reason I reach for the stars above He said my world revolves around you That's why I call you son We'd drive back to his small apartment It was hot wheels on the worn out carpet We'd play games 'til the Braves game started And he'd let me stay up late Time with him was always flying Sunday's never had good timing I'd start to pack and end up crying And he'd kneel down and say Son I hope you know how much I love you And when you're not with me I'm always thinking of you You're the drive inside my heart The reason I reach for the stars above He said my world revolves around you That's why I call you son I was gonna go live with him But I guess God had other plans Cause on a two lane road on a Tuesday night A drunk driver crossed that centerline They said my dad didn't feel a thing I wish I could say the same Cause losing him, it left me cold I was mad at God, couldn't let it go Then one blue sky morning A brown eyed baby boy was born and I looked outside and it started pouring I swear they were daddy's tears My old man, I could almost see him In that little face with a new heart beating The pain in mine started leaving When I whispered in his ear Son I hope you know how much I love you Now it all makes sense This place in life I've come to You've filled the hole inside my heart You're why I'll reach for the stars above My world revolves around you That's why I call you son Yeah, that's why I call you son
I just discovered Mitch Rossell from America’s Got Talent. I cried uncontrollably. Just like for Iam Tongi’s audition on American Idol. These two men are helping to heal millions of people around the world. 😢💙
I was 10 years old when the phone call to my momma would changed my life forever. My mom busted out in tears and I was concerned. What is it momma? She told me, your dad was killed by a drunk driver last night. Then 10 years later my life was changed forever again. With the birth of my son. I wouldn’t be the man I am today without him in my life. Thank you for writing this song.
I first heard Mitch Rossell's incredibly beautiful and soothing voice on AGT last night. The emotional lyrics of his brilliantly written song "SON" can't help affecting viewers, especially a father with a son or sons of his own. I shared this on Facebook with dear Isle of Man friends who have sons. They love Mitch's voice and were very moved by his story and song. Mitch's close relationship with his father changed forever at a young age. The best singers have similar painful life events, but the most classic and lasting songs result with a star being born. The story of Mitch's life turned full circle when his own brown eyed son was born. Mitch's son "filled the hole inside my heart...you're why I reach for the stars above...my world revolves around you...that's why I call you son...yeah that's why I call you son". Words to touch the heart and soul forever. Performing on the Grand Ole Opry stage, with the love and support of a large audience, must have been a dream come true for Mitch Rossell. I'm sure his father in heaven was watching Mitch with pride and a full heart 🎭 🎸🎤⭐️💙. From Ontario, Canada 🎉 xx
Mitch, I just happened to come across your Facebook reel about this song, “Son” and it being placed on the radio. So I went to Apple ITunes and listened and man, oh man… I’m sure glad I came across your reel! Uploaded every song and now I’m here on CZcams watching your performances to share on my Facebook page! God has undoubtedly blessed you with musical talent and you being on the Grand Ole Opry Stage is only the beginning!! Don’t you give up on your dreams no matter what. God’s got you! Thank you for sharing your gift with the world! It’s truly a gift for us to witness and have.
I watched Mitch on America's Got Talent and he was sensational and you could of heard a pin drop it was so quiet while he performed and when he was through the crowed erupted and gave him a standing ovation and it was so awesome and I hope he wins America's Got Talent he deserves it
How wonderful!!!!! OMG!!! What a voice and what a touching song!!!!!!!!! Love you brother and MAY you go far and MAY GOD always BLESS you and your family!!!!!!! Much love from EAST TENNESSEE ❤️❤️❤️🙏🙏💗💗💗🙏💗🙏💗🙏💗💗💗💗 WOW!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Your Dad would be so proud of you Mitch, not because you picked up the guitar and not because you are so gifted with writing such a beautiful song, but he would be proud just because you were his Son. Much love mate xx
From an audition on Americas Got Talent to this. I love this song. I’ve lost both parents and the greatest work comes from the greatest losses. God Bless you ❤
This guy has come a long way. From singing in his grandparents garage to now the Grand Ole Opry! Mitch you are my biggest musical inspiration. I used to watch your videos all the time! You're a hell of a talent and you deserve all the success! Wishing you best of luck!
@@MitchRossell The real deal. One man, one guitar. If a song sounds great with only these two things, it's already a great song. And yes Mike Sills, I remember that "I'm still a guy" video. . It was a bad camera back then. But that video got me following his channel. Too bad his "Prayin' it Don't Rain" video isn't online anymore...
@@MitchRossell I was so moved by this song. This was a great tribute to your Dad. I believe you will go far in Country Music. Never stop reaching for those stars.
Ever since seeing and listening to you on AGT, I’ve tried hunting down every song you’ve written and sung, you are fantastic Mitch Rossell … and, Mitch happens to be my favorite name too, hearing and knowing it first as my beloved grandpas name and then giving it to my own son 36 years ago, yay😉! This performance was perfect and explains why you only saw your dad every other week too. I’m so happy for you, look how far you’ve already come, congratulations! I’ll be listening along, good luck with your future!
I would give anything to tell my daddy I love him. Just one more time. He died the morning of the day I was going to see him in the hospital. His heart just stopped. I will never forgive myself for not doing better. Daddy, I see now. Years ago, you told me I would. Hold mama for me until.... Your son
Sadly this song rings true for a lot of people out there. A lot of broken homes out there, the kids stuck in the middle and don't understand...they only hear one side of the story based on who they end up living with, torn between both their parents, never really knowing the truth, other than sometimes one parent never wanting anything to do with the kid, or parents fighting over who they get to spend the weekend, holidays, summer, etc. with....a constant battle between adults with a child stuck in the middle wondering what they did wrong.
Loved when he sang this on AGT this week! Beautiful lyrics! Saw Mitch in 2017 in Champaign/Urbana, IL when he was touring with Garth. He sang More than a Memory Garth sang it also during that concert, giving Mitch full credit for it. Quite a show, will never forget it!
What a truly wonderful man, son and father. You wrote a beautiful song, so heartfelt. You’re coming full circle. Your daddy lives on. Love your voice and humility shines through it. Bless you.
Beautiful song! 😢 I've listened to it several times and the tears start everytime. As a Mum of two sons, I hear your heart! My Dad passed seven years ago, ane even though I've long since been an adult, somedays it still feels so fresh! 😢 Your God given talents are obvious and I thank you for sharing your gifts with all of us! I pray God continue to bless you as you reach for your dreams!
His song writing humble kind soul personality & underrated voice, his gratefulness for the opportunity Garth had given him makes him not just a great singer but a great person and role model ❤
Man he can sing ! May our Lord Bless him with this incredible Gift God has givin him ! I Pray He uses this Gift to Glorify God and Our Lord Grants him a long and prosperous career!
Mitch.......you are standing on a stage that was made for you and all the other superstars that have stood there. I just found out about you a couple of weeks ago - what a wonderful guy.
Just saw that he's going to be playing in the former town I lived in: Woodstock IL at the Opera House. I'm now in NC, but I'm hoping the friends I still have there in Woodstock will join me in going to the show & if so, I'm definitely flying out to see him! (and them!) ;)
I am so confused, This man was on Opry the greatest thing for a country musician. Unless my timeline is wrong but why did he need to go on AGT? This dude is brilliant and this is one of the best songs I've ever heard!
Omg this is an amazing person so so lucky to be able to hear him sign. ❤ Bravo 👏🏼 God May give you much more deserve blessings ❤ keep signing and thank you 🙏 prays for you and your family ❤ keep spreading the love of music ❤🙏🥰
With all the emotion that comes with making a Grand Ole Opry debut, I don't know HOW he got through that beautiful heartfelt song. Congratulations! What a way to move an audience!!!
I’ll be honest I loved country music as a teenager and got away from it. I heard your performance on AGT. You’ve instilled that love back in this genre again. You’re a star. Garth isn’t wrong. Embrace it and keep moving hearts with your songwriting and voice. Tears after hearing this and missing my dad. Thank you for writing this song. I hope you win AGT. This is the moment that those who don’t know you…Will…
I just hear 👂 him watching AGT today 4/17/2024 and immediately my tears started coming down what a tragic story but a beautiful thing came out of it. He made his dad proud by picking up that guitar and singing. I know his father is watching down on him, guiding him through this path he’s gonna be the biggest amuse, amazing rock ‘n’ roll singer there will ever be, God bless him always
I’m Sorry for your loss to your dad he’s so precious and amazing I can’t believe how it’s your life you deserve to have such an incredible voice and I am so glad you had fun with everything you’ve done your dad is so special to you he was so lucky to have such an incredible person in your heart ❤️ he truly deserves everything that he has you in his heart ❤️
Thank you for sharing that song! It made me think about how amazing my own father is. I'm in my 50's and he's in his late 70's. I cherish him and all he's done for me and my family. You too are a gift to all of us. May your dads memory forever remind us of that love!❤
You go Mitch! You deserve this! I remember meeting you in 2018 with John Anderson and Bucky Covington, and you were super nice to me and my husband. You talked about how much the music meant to you and hoped to be on the Grand Ole Opry one day, and now look at you now!! Standing on that very stage and killing those dreams!! As someone who grew up in a split home from the time I was 2 years old and has also lost their daddy almost 13 years ago, I love this song and felt every emotion of it.
Mitch, I first discovered your music when you did the video for Soldier's Memoir with the IV8888 crew. At the time, I was just a couple years out of the USMC and still struggling with that transition back to civilian life. I was homeless, jobless, and fighting some of the worst depression I could have ever imagined. The last verse of that song hit me like a sledgehammer, and I'm proud to say I won that war. Now I've got an amazing wife and a 5-year-old son that I would do anything for. I cant even begin to explain how awesome it is to see you on that stage, because you deserve it in every way possible. To top it off, you've written another incredible song that hits like a freight train. Thank you, and congratulations on making it to The Opry.
I first heard Mitch sing when he auditioned on TV for Simon Cowell and panel. He sang this song, he wrote it. The story behind this song broke my heart and each person hearing it. He not only lost his dad in this tragic accident he also lost his grandfather and grandmother driving in another (seperate) car and all 3 were killed. Yes, two different cars killing 3 of his beloved family. Brave young man. Delighted his dreams came true. An amazing country voice presented to the world. What a blessing.
He has been touring with Garth for years. He is a ridiculously talented writer.

God bless you!

Well deserved Mitch. God bless you and your family.
I am so proud that he made it to the Grand Ole Opry. He is such a talented artist. He's amazing.
I seriously think this guy's the most underrated talent in the industry. Glad to see him getting noticed more.
Wow, thank you so much

At the Grand Ole Opry no less....good for you Mitch. Your dad would be proud
He has to be the front runner to win AGT at this point what great lyrics my world revolves around you that’s why I call you son❤
Son
Lyrics
My mom was always running
Chasing after something
I heard you couldn't tell her nothing
When she was 19
She met my daddy
And took off in his t-top Chevy
But it went from hot to heavy
When they found out about me
Every other weekend
Was all I got to see him
Sometimes he'd come get me
And we'd hit Tellico Creek
We'd take that boat and drop it
Grab the rods and reels and hop in
He'd open up that tackle box
And he'd open up to me
And he'd say
Son I hope you know how much I love you
And when you're not with me
I'm always thinking of you
You're the drive inside my heart
The reason I reach for the stars above
He said my world revolves around you
That's why I call you son
We'd drive back to his small apartment
It was hot wheels on the worn out carpet
We'd play games 'til the Braves game started
And he'd let me stay up late
Time with him was always flying
Sunday's never had good timing
I'd start to pack and end up crying
And he'd kneel down and say
Son I hope you know how much I love you
And when you're not with me
I'm always thinking of you
You're the drive inside my heart
The reason I reach for the stars above
He said my world revolves around you
That's why I call you son
I was gonna go live with him
But I guess God had other plans
Cause on a two lane road on a Tuesday night
A drunk driver crossed that centerline
They said my dad didn't feel a thing
I wish I could say the same
Cause losing him, it left me cold
I was mad at God, couldn't let it go
Then one blue sky morning
A brown eyed baby boy was born and
I looked outside and it started pouring
I swear they were daddy's tears
My old man, I could almost see him
In that little face with a new heart beating
The pain in mine started leaving
When I whispered in his ear
Son I hope you know how much I love you
Now it all makes sense
This place in life I've come to
You've filled the hole inside my heart
You're why I'll reach for the stars above
My world revolves around you
That's why I call you son
Yeah, that's why I call you son
I just saw him on AGT! I’m glad he made his debut in the Opry! He deserves it. He’s very talented.

I cried my eyes out. death deep into his soul and get those words out is amazing. He’s just an amazing young man. I wish him well.
What a truly wonderful man, son and father. You wrote a beautiful song, so heartfelt. You’re coming full circle. Your daddy lives on. Love your voice and humility shines through it. Bless you.
Beautiful song! 😢 I've listened to it several times and the tears start everytime. As a Mum of two sons, I hear your heart! My Dad passed seven years ago, ane even though I've long since been an adult, somedays it still feels so fresh! 😢
Your God given talents are obvious and I thank you for sharing your gifts with all of us! I pray God continue to bless you as you reach for your dreams!
DUDE!!!! I can't get over seeing you here! So happy for you - God bless. We'll see ya in Rosemont!
I saw him sign this on agt and I cried. It's one of the best moments I've ever seen.
Thank you Garth Brooks for introducing me to this AMAZING singer. Mitch this was magical
His song writing humble kind soul personality & underrated voice, his gratefulness for the opportunity Garth had given him makes him not just a great singer but a great person and role model ❤
Man he can sing ! May our Lord Bless him with this incredible Gift God has givin him !
I Pray He uses this Gift to Glorify God and Our Lord Grants him a long and prosperous career!
Mitch.......you are standing on a stage that was made for you and all the other superstars that have stood there. I just found out about you a couple of weeks ago - what a wonderful guy.
I love him he was on AGT a week ago beautiful tribute to his daddy
❤❤❤❤❤ he nail it awesome
Just saw that he's going to be playing in the former town I lived in: Woodstock IL at the Opera House. I'm now in NC, but I'm hoping the friends I still have there in Woodstock will join me in going to the show & if so, I'm definitely flying out to see him! (and them!) ;)
Wow. What a voice.
That is a number one song.
Congratulations man! Been watching you since like 09’? Glad you got to play the opry 👏🏼
Amazing ........ More than Heartfelt
Mitch. I've been following you since you had 100 viewers on CZcams. Most deserving. Congrats man!
been watching this guy on CZcams for more than 10 years. glad to see you on the big stage brother.
I wish I could give this more likes! Beautiful song, and an amazing ride you've been on since I saw you open for Garth in Vegas!
I'm here from hearing you sing on America's got talent.
I watched your AGT audition, and it brought me to tears
I am so confused, This man was on Opry the greatest thing for a country musician. Unless my timeline is wrong but why did he need to go on AGT? This dude is brilliant and this is one of the best songs I've ever heard!
Omg this is an amazing person so so lucky to be able to hear him sign. ❤ Bravo 👏🏼 God May give you much more deserve blessings ❤ keep signing and thank you 🙏 prays for you and your family ❤ keep spreading the love of music ❤🙏🥰
With all the emotion that comes with making a Grand Ole Opry debut, I don't know HOW he got through that beautiful heartfelt song. Congratulations! What a way to move an audience!!!
Been watching since the early days in the garage ! I never doubted this day would come for ya. Proud to see the fruit of the labor my friend!
Great job. I am not the biggest country music fan but always appreciate people who write great music. Great job on this.
I’ll be honest I loved country music as a teenager and got away from it. I heard your performance on AGT. You’ve instilled that love back in this genre again. You’re a star. Garth isn’t wrong. Embrace it and keep moving hearts with your songwriting and voice. Tears after hearing this and missing my dad. Thank you for writing this song. I hope you win AGT. This is the moment that those who don’t know you…Will…
😢❤ great song !
Keep singing from your heart!!❤ you're very gifted and true to yourself!!!
I just hear 👂 him watching AGT today 4/17/2024 and immediately my tears started coming down what a tragic story but a beautiful thing came out of it. He made his dad proud by picking up that guitar and singing. I know his father is watching down on him, guiding him through this path he’s gonna be the biggest amuse, amazing rock ‘n’ roll singer there will ever be, God bless him always
Amen brother!!
I’m
Sorry for your loss to your dad he’s so precious and amazing I can’t believe how it’s your life you deserve to have such an incredible voice and I am so glad you had fun with everything you’ve done your dad is so special to you he was so lucky to have such an incredible person in your heart ❤️ he truly deserves everything that he has you in his heart ❤️
God bless you young man ❤❤❤❤❤❤
Wish I could say the Same..... I felt that
One of the most powerful songs I've ever had the pleasure of hearing.
Started following Mitch a couple years ago,such a great talent.Was so glad to see this as I’m in Australia.Wishing Mitch all the best in career
Thank you for sharing that song! It made me think about how amazing my own father is. I'm in my 50's and he's in his late 70's. I cherish him and all he's done for me and my family. You too are a gift to all of us. May your dads memory forever remind us of that love!❤
What a beautiful song.
Omg what a beautiful song amen brother ❤
What a beautiful song!
I saw Mitch's audition on America's Got Talent. I am so happy to see him on the Opry. Can't wait to hear more from this amazing artist & person!
So glad i found you on AGT This song should hit it out of the park 🎉
You go Mitch! You deserve this! I remember meeting you in 2018 with John Anderson and Bucky Covington, and you were super nice to me and my husband. You talked about how much the music meant to you and hoped to be on the Grand Ole Opry one day, and now look at you now!! Standing on that very stage and killing those dreams!! As someone who grew up in a split home from the time I was 2 years old and has also lost their daddy almost 13 years ago, I love this song and felt every emotion of it.
Great song on AGT! ❤
Wow I cried haven't done that in years 😢
HES SOOOOO INCREDIBLY TALENTED ❤
Beautiful!!! Wishing you abundant success!! Love the song🙋🏽♀️🔥💕
Freaking amazing talented songwriter! Can't wait to see what's next!
Amazing! Just beautiful! Love from Luxembourg
Absolutely beautiful and from the heart!!! Wishing you great success!!!
Beautiful song!!!!❤❤❤
Mitch, I first discovered your music when you did the video for Soldier's Memoir with the IV8888 crew. At the time, I was just a couple years out of the USMC and still struggling with that transition back to civilian life. I was homeless, jobless, and fighting some of the worst depression I could have ever imagined. The last verse of that song hit me like a sledgehammer, and I'm proud to say I won that war. Now I've got an amazing wife and a 5-year-old son that I would do anything for.
I cant even begin to explain how awesome it is to see you on that stage, because you deserve it in every way possible. To top it off, you've written another incredible song that hits like a freight train. Thank you, and congratulations on making it to The Opry.
Wow. You have an incredible story too. I wish you the best in everything
Love you music
So proud for you Mitch !! Congrats!!
