The meaning is more the band is on the road. It fits for a soldier overseas from the family. It is a general missing someone/longing for someone kind of song.
Bulwark AC Please like my comment so Billy can react to a song! Either of the ones I mentioned have a good message!!! I’ve been trying to get him to react to these two songs for a long while now! Please give them a chance too!
Brad Arnold stated that the main inspiration for the song was his now ex-wife.[2] Arnold has also explained that the song was written about their lonely nights spent on the road promoting their band and how tough it was to be away from their significant others. "Here Without You" gives the listener a look into the mind of a man that is missing his girlfriend. Arnold explained the story behind the song: "The song's about being away from someone, or missing them. And it really doesn't matter if you're here without them for all day or all month. It's about the loneliness and missing of somebody. But in a way, people take that as a little bit of a sad song, and I kind of meant it as a happy song, because it's talking about being here without you, but she's still with me in my dreams. And tonight, it's only you and me, so the song was really about that dream. And being in a state of peace, because you've got that person there with you in your sleep. In that way I kind of meant for it to be a little bit of a happy song.
This song used to make me cry just after I hit my rock bottom and was in early addiction recovery and all alone. I thank God for Grace and reconciliation with my family
@@Jodie_Tea - They used "One Thing" by Finger Eleven for the HeWhoShallNotBeNamed package. Which had lyrics that were incredibly fitting when it aired, but even more so in a completely different/haunting way not even 24 hrs later.
@@brittbratt101123 i stopped watching soon after eddie died but did watch the tribute to chris benoit as i did know who he was i was so shocked at his death and his poor family
Our subconscious is wild. You hear a song once and forget about it, then years later you hear it and start singing the words like you’ve listened to it a million times .🤣
Lead singer Brad Arnold says he wrote this song with his (now-ex) wife as inspiration. He didn't write it for her - there's a difference. He laughs when he talks about how wrong he was with his declaration of "when the last one falls, when all is said and done." But then, who can possibly predict the future? "The song's just about being away from someone, or missing them," he clarifies. "And it really doesn't matter if you're here without them for all day or all month.
This song works quite well as side-along with the Stargate SG-1 episode "100 Days" where Jack is trapped on a distant planet and the team have to find a way to get him home.
I think you’re right Billy. It goes both ways you said. And it probably can cover anything where someone is missing someone they love, whether they’re dead, split up, temporarily separated for some reason, etc.
I got to spend a couple hours bowling with the Brad (lead singer) through a radio competition. Most down to earth person ever. They are a great band and great people!
3 Doors Down has a number of songs clearly inspired by being away from loved ones while touring on the road, this is one of those, though it also does the trick of all great art by being applicable far beyond that interpretation. You should do "Loser" by 3 Doors Down and then "Kryptonite" by them as well!
3DD is my favorite band!! My best friend and I have seen them live numerous times, including on the VH1 “Best Cruise Ever” from Florida to Grand Cayman back in 2010! We even went on the same excursion with them in Grand Cayman and spoke with them then and on a few other occasions during the cruise. They are so down to earth and really love their fans!! Btw, this song is more about being out on the road touring while the family is still back at home, sort of like Bob Seger’s “Turn the Page” or Journey’s “Faithfully.”
I don't think it's about being in a band on the road and missing his wife, due to the line about "A thousand LIES have made me colder...." maybe he left the woman but she still haunts his memory even tho it's totally over.
Brad Arnold said: “‘Here Without You’ was a song that I wrote for my now-ex-wife. I didn’t write it for her, I guess, she was just mainly the inspiration for the thought process. And it was really kind of about all of us, in a way. The song’s about being away from someone, or missing them. And it really doesn’t matter if you’re here without them for all day or all month. It’s about the loneliness and missing of somebody. But in a way, people take that as a little bit of a sad song, and I kind of meant it as a happy song, because it’s talking about being here without you, but she’s still with me in my dreams.

I've heard this song before! I didn't know until I heard the chorus. You should also react to loser by 3 doors down, if you're looking for a hard rock song that's so dark and scary, this is the perfect one.
A very good reaction to a very haunting melody and lyric. I like when u said this is a real song because the message is true.. I felt the loneliness of the singer was not just real but bittersweet, like a lot of John Lennon songs, like HELP and I'LL BE BACK. very haunting. 3DD is good at music that haunts you nicely
@@booklover4330 it must've been blocked because I seen it I would tell you what he did if i remembered but i remember is him laughing and I think the guy is bad news
Billy when you said "If you felt love towards towards another person, but the other person doesn't love you the same way" you kinda struck an emotional cord on me and don't worry it is fine I am not mad. You almost made the James the Gemmaker cry right here, which I don't do as often, but thank you for playing this.
Super late to this party but if you ever decide to come back to 3 Doors Down you should check out other songs from The Better Life and Away From The Sun albums. Every single song on these albums could have been major hits for them.
Great reaction Billy, I see more 3DD, like a kid in a candy store. ❤ The guys are big military supporters, do many charities with their Better Life Foundation. Keep em coming! 👏
If you’re doing late 90’s rock, look into Third Eye Blind, Matchbox 20, Dave Matthews Band, Marcy Playground, and some of the one hitters - Wallflowers, Eve 6, Buck Cherry, The Verve Pipe, etc. There were more one hit wonders than repeat bands, but there were some good songs in all that.
Maybe it’s because I was in a long distance relationship when I first heard this song, but I always saw it as him missing her when they can’t be together, not that they broke up or that she dies
They are huge supporters of the Military. Their song , "When I'm Gone" makes me cry when I watch video. As a mother of 10th Airborne Infantry, Afghanistan Veteran, seeing our Brave men & women leaving for war in Iraq brings back feelings of dread.
@@amandapatch7496 Thank you. He returned in 2011. But, he wasn't the same. My strong, full of life son became withdrawn. Violent mood swings. War is HELL!
@@stephneysmith2564 I'm so sorry. I can't imagine because I have never been in the same situation. But, I can truly say that I am very grateful for his sacrifice and yours. To not have the same son come home. The thought alone tears me up. I'm a mother and it wasn't war that changed my child but a different trauma. I will pray for your son and for you. May he find peace and joy again. And may you be strengthened and comforted. God bless y'all.
@@stephneysmith2564 They try to train them to handle it but sometimes..it just doesn't work cuz they are human beings, not robots. I hope you and your son can have a good life together soon and i do Ty and your Son for everything. I am so sorry this happened to you guys and i hope it gets better.
Please do 'for you' by keith urban he sang it on Act of Valor. I have just recently in the last month found your channel and watched all the reaction songs. You keep me laughing.
You should react to: Good as hell- lizzo Stealing Cinderella - chuck wicks Power- little mix Beer with jesus- Thomas rhett Little piece of heaven- avenged sevenfold Gods country Blake Shelton Hollar- Granger smith Dads old number- Cole swindell Any song by Jay Park Hey dad- Matt stillwill
Hey Billy, new to the channel and i love the reaction videos(speical to rock/metal songs) :) Will love if you make a reaction video for the song "Devil Is A Loser" by the band "Lordi" :D P.S can the be the music video? if not because to bad quality, the live version from 2018/2019 can do to :)
How many videos do u post in time it seams like a lot I’m trying to figure out if I should set an upholding schedule or just post whenever or just post a bunch of videos each day or just do what feels natural
Check out CNCO they just released a song with Natti Natasha called honey boo and its a vibe. They’re a Latin boyband and the first boyband to have 1 bill views on YT. Natti Natasha is a popular Latin artist too❤️
This September will make 5 years since my wife passed away. I listened to this song a lot after that happened.
Sorry about your wife. I listened to this a lot to after my wife left me.
@@jerrylawrence5572 Thank you. I understand. It's a good song that in a strange way helps some.
The song is about him constantly being on the road away from his wife and it's a song to her
Could also very easily be misunderstood as a stalker song...
Do you know this for a fact as in you wrote it or are you just assuming?
@@jacksonmorganfroghin4815 I saw an interview where he talked about it
Okay Ryan that settles it for me. Thank you. I just wonder about that line, "a thousand lies have made me colder." His wife is apparently a big liar.
@@jacksonmorganfroghin4815 or it was him. When you lie to people you eventually become cold you have to to keep up the lie

3 doors down “It’s not my time” awesome song
This song used to make me cry just after I hit my rock bottom and was in early addiction recovery and all alone. I thank God for Grace and reconciliation with my family
If you like 3 Doors Down, you'll love Creed. First song of Creed's I'd recommend would be "With Arms Wide Open."
Check out “when I’m gone” by 3 doors down
One of the most powerful songs of the early 2000's. Gets me everytime
They let WWE use this song when Eddie died. They used it for his tribute.
Thank you i thought they had but couldn't remeber whos if it was eddies or chris ben(cant spell rest of name sorry)
@@Jodie_Tea - They used "One Thing" by Finger Eleven for the HeWhoShallNotBeNamed package.

I loved both of them. My best friends favorite was Eddie, he got me into wrestling

Invisible- Hunter Hayes
If I Didn't Have You- Thompson Square
Love Like Crazy- Lee Brice
I’ve never seen this song as being one story. It’s more of the general topic of being away from someone you love for whatever reason
lucas milam Please like my comment so Billy can react to a song! Either of the ones I mentioned have a good message!!!
Our subconscious is wild. You hear a song once and forget about it, then years later you hear it and start singing the words like you’ve listened to it a million times .🤣
If this isn't the best song of the 21st century so far, it definitely is the one that I've listened to the most.
This reminds me of the Navy. Being away from my wife. That's what it means to me. Being a soldier, you would get it.

This is a timeless line to a timeless classic.
I've heard this life is overrated
But I hope that it gets better as we go.
i love the way he does that line
This song works quite well as side-along with the Stargate SG-1 episode "100 Days" where Jack is trapped on a distant planet and the team have to find a way to get him home.
love this song!!
I think you’re right Billy. It goes both ways you said. And it probably can cover anything where someone is missing someone they love, whether they’re dead, split up, temporarily separated for some reason, etc.
My late husband used to sing this on my voicemail when we had to be separated for work.
Thank you for the reaction.
Landing in London is another good song by them.
I was there when they filmed all there videos for these songs. There’s 2 of us left from our unit. I appreciate your service and doing these videos
I got to spend a couple hours bowling with the Brad (lead singer) through a radio competition. Most down to earth person ever. They are a great band and great people!
3 Doors Down- Let Me Go one of my favorites by them.
One of the greatest songs I’ve heard.
My husband passed away 2/8/18 and my kids and I listen to this daily since he passed.
3 Doors Down has a number of songs clearly inspired by being away from loved ones while touring on the road, this is one of those, though it also does the trick of all great art by being applicable far beyond that interpretation.
You should do "Loser" by 3 Doors Down and then "Kryptonite" by them as well!

3 Doors Down "The Road I'm On"
Pleace react to, kryptonite by 3 doors down.
One of my fave love songs
I don't think it's about being in a band on the road and missing his wife, due to the line about "A thousand LIES have made me colder...." maybe he left the woman but she still haunts his memory even tho it's totally over.
“Away from the sun” is a great song

You should React to Ain't No Sunshine since Mr. Bill Withers passed away today. He was an icon.
A very good reaction to a very haunting melody and lyric. I like when u said this is a real song because the message is true.. I felt the loneliness of the singer was not just real but bittersweet, like a lot of John Lennon songs, like HELP and I'LL BE BACK. very haunting. 3DD is good at music that haunts you nicely
Also anything matchbox 20 is great 💜
One of my favorite groups and song , they use this song for alot of military tribute videos after 911

This really hits home for me 😢
"how am i singing the words?" YOU'RE JUST THAT GOOD BILLY!!! :)
One of my many fave ldr songs
I really really love this song. And 3 Doors Down too...
About a life of touring, maybe. I love them!
Landing in London is a BANGER
Here by Me is a really great song by 3 doors down too.
I related to this song when I was in a long distance relationship...
You're right about it being taken a few ways..but i only hope, it's about being on the road so much and he misses his wife while being gone from her.
Billie, got to check out this song of 3 doors and Sara Evans.
Billie making Texas cry.
Super late to this party but if you ever decide to come back to 3 Doors Down you should check out other songs from The Better Life and Away From The Sun albums.
Every single song on these albums could have been major hits for them.
I was just jammin 3 doors down a couple days ago!!!
He wrote this for his wife.. being on tour with the band !!!!!!!!

Game boi 20 Please like my comment so Billy can see!
They did this on a Navy Ship, Carrier if I'm not Mistaken
this is one of my fav bands
There's a version of this video that involves the military. They are a military friendly band. Check out "Citizen Soldier" full version.
Maybe it’s because I was in a long distance relationship when I first heard this song, but I always saw it as him missing her when they can’t be together, not that they broke up or that she dies
Song is about the life of a musician on the road all the time.
3 doors down Citizen Soldier!!!
Check out Duck and Run by 3 Doors Down. I always get pumped up and ready to go when that comes on.
I love this song soooo much! I feel like it's a lost love and she moved on but he still loves her!
3 Doors Down- Away From The Sun
Sometimes he sounds like the haunting voice of Peter Gabriel on IN YOUR EYES
I know you posted this awhile ago but would love to see you react to Landing in London.. one of my favorite 3DD songs..
It’s about being on the road playing in a band and you missing your baby
Should do their song Round and Round next.
i LOVE that song.. my fav part is at 2:35
👍🏼
DarthAssassin24 7 can you please like my comment so Billy can see?

havent even started watching this.. this is gonna make him cry. lol

Billy, another good song is Welcome To My Life by Simple Plan. You should check it out
Brantley's Gilbert!
"Kick It In The Sticks"
Or "One Hell of an Amen"
They redid this video as a tribute to the military dealing with deployments and family separation.
How many videos do u post in time it seams like a lot I’m trying to figure out if I should set an upholding schedule or just post whenever or just post a bunch of videos each day or just do what feels natural
It's about having to leave their families to do a long tour.
If you haven't done so, can you react to Wherever You Will Go by The Calling? Thank you!
