As many times as I’ve seen him he has shown himself to be a very humble and caring spirit. I had his song “Go Rest High Upon the Mountain “ played at my husband’s funeral last year.
I remember hearing Country & Western music as a little boy in Durban, 🇿🇦 I loved how it told life stories. Jim Reeves- EDDIE Arnold- Hank Williams old school. As a Black man I am still amazed that it seems I have to justify why and that in fact I have a country station locked in my car radio. There are times I’m just feelin’ country. 🇿🇦🇺🇸
What a brave soul you are Vince Gill! I know your brother, your mama and your daddy are watching over you proud as all get out of all you’ve accomplished so far in your life. But, even more so for the way you’ve lived your life all these years! I love your stories about your dad! I had a dad that was the same way! Your stories make me laugh and remind me of my dad! Thank you
Man, we need A LOT more country songs that shine light on real-life struggles like this. I love country music but I'm beyond tired of the ear-candy party anthem garbage that's dominating the radio today. Way to go Vince Gill!!!
Thank you dear Vince. I have just completed a book on abuse. It was so hard to research, and harder to write, but it had to be done. Thank you for bringing it out so beautifully Avenel
You know, it's not just her life that was forever changed; it's also the son she bore whose father never knew his name. I broke down and cried after hearing this song... I was forced into silence for 48 years. I'm not silent anymore. Thank you, Gill!
Anybody who has been abused should talk about it,i know from experience.Nobody has the right to lay a hand on anybody else,especially a child.Vince gill is my fav singer good for him to be brave and talk about it.
Dude you captured a truly magical moment. Thank you and thank Mr. Gill for your courage. When I first spoke up about my abuse one family member said I remembered incorrectly, maybe just made it up. Perpetrator denied it said i was accusing her because I probably abused my own kids. It nice to live in a time when victims are finally being heard. I lost my virginity to someone that I should of been able to trust without a thought. I lost my innocence and my sense of family at a very young age. I tried to drink it away (sober 24 years now) but that turned out not to be a good idea. Moments like the first part of this video truly give me hope. I keep getting “Forever changed”.
Kenny Bond Thank you for sharing your experience, Kenny. I'm so sorry your trust was broken that way. It is hard for anyone to come forward & I applaud you for your bravery! 💖 This song touched my heart too & I'm so glad Vince could express through music what so many victims have been through. God bless you!
Unhappy to hear of Vince's abuse. Glad another MAN is making this SO public. I have a son & grandson, who of course aren't famous, but have worried about their safety as well. We should revisit LOUDLY about males that this ALSO effects. Even if a career hasn't boomed out of it. Thank you, Vince for taking a stand & I'm sorry this happened to you & any one else!
Message is GREAT! Lyrics are GREAT! Musically it is not much. Because of timeliness of message and big name artist probably would sell millions anyway.
NotADoc I doubt very seriously that Vince wrote the song with the mindset toward impressing you, me or anyone with the musicality of it. The message is all that matters.

Vince Gill - such a great singer and songwriter. Now with "mustache" - haha. Great!
Thank you sir...
He got up and ran because his mother raised him to be strong and not to put up with something that made him feel uncomfortable.
❤️❤️🎶🎶🎶❤️❤️
Pass it on
A song isn't supposed to go this deep. Only Vince gill could go there
OMG!

You must be new to country music.
Someone needs to play this song for Joe Biden.
