      Haunting - affecting, emotive, evocative, expressive, moving and touching.
      I am from London UK and a big fan of Garth Brooks and got into his music due to him covering a song called Shameless by Billy Joel, because I am a fan of his too.
      This then led to hearing the voice during harmony vocals by Trisha Yearwood on Garth's version of Shameless (they are married now) and so I looked into Trisha's music too and she has an outstanding voice.
      And as a final tie in, all of Billy, Garth and Trisha have recoded versions of Bob Dylan's song To Make You Feel My Love.

      I believe the actual music video for this song includes footage of JFK, martin Luther King, Jr., and the astronauts that died in the Space Shuttle Challenger disaster. People who's lives were taken too soon. He has said this song is to be played at his funeral.

    When my son was still living, (he was handicapped) he asked me if I ever wished he had never been born. I told him about this song and explained how I could have missed the pain, I would have missed the dance. He just smiled and said ok. Now, when I am at a low point, hand to God, this song comes on the radio and I just smile and find great peace. I really enjoy your channel. You might want to listen to Diamond Rio's I Believe and God only Cries for the living.

    when I was 26 my Dad passed from cancer, I had moved back home and helped take care of him his last 6 months alive. His last 4 days in hospital I stayed in His room with him almost non stop and awake almost the whole 4 days til he passed. When leaving the hospital parking lot and driving home this song starting playing on the radio just after pulling out..always held a lot of meaning to me about my Dad since.

      I worked in a Children's Hospital. You would get close to some of the families. If the child passed, often you were invited to the memorial. Like you said, The Dance was played at almost every one. It got so when I would hear the piano as the intro, I would get goosebumps, followed by crying. If I'm driving and this song comes on the radio, often I have to pull over and cry, thinking of the kids. I think the dance is life. The lines about could have missed the pain, but I'd have to miss the dance. I think the kids I worked with would never choose pain, but they have to in order to experience life. They fight to experience life.

    I met my 2nd grandson around May 23rd of 2003. He was 5 weeks old. When I held him, a deep sense of love overcame me and I cried and cried. The connection was one which I had never felt. They left to go back to Tennessee a few days later. On June 12th of 2003, he died from S.I.D.S. It was the most devastating thing I had ever been through to date. This song has always been my go to song since his death. It reminds me that I was blessed to hold him if but only for a few minutes.

    Garth Brooks went to high school with my ex husband's mom. She said he was a dork that carried his guitar everywhere but that even she will admit that he completely changed country music and opened it up to the world. He is also considered the best showman in country music.

    Tony Arata wrote "The Dance". One night at the Blue Bird Cafe, Garth was there and heard Tony sign this song. Now neither of them had been discovered and when Tony finished the song, Garth went up to him and said that if he ever got a record deal he would record Tonys song. The rest is history for the both of them. They remain great friends to this day...

      Garth almost didn’t cut this song back in ‘89. The album was almost finished and Allen Reynolds, Garth’s record producer at the time, was like: “Why haven’t we cut ‘The Dance’ yet?” And Garth was like: “I don’t think it’s country enough.” And Allen says: “Pal..” In the music biz, they always used the word ‘pal’. “If you don’t cut ‘The Dance,’ if you don’t cut that song, it’ll be the biggest hit you never had.”

    This song hits me in the heart. In 2020 I lost my husband of over 30 years. This song eases the pain by making me realize that even though "I could've missed the pain", "I'd of had to miss the dance" (a metaphor of our life). As hard as the loss has been, I wouldn't change a thing and "I'm glad I didn't know how it all would end". We Lived, we Loved and it was wonderful and free. Live each day fully and be present, we're all on limited time.

    Garth Brooks basically created Stadium Country. He’s the first country artist who produced his concerts like a pop/rock show. He had pyrotechnics, rain, and a show unlike any other seen in the genre. He created the giant show that’s now a stadium country concert staple. He was a true innovator in business as well as in music.

    I can't share much of the journey / friendship right now. One of my best friends, Jacque battled cancer for the last five years. The last 8 weeks I had to pick her up and carry to her wheel chair, help her stand in the bathroom, things she hated but was grateful I was willing to help her with. I started to tease her that after all this time she finally would dance with me as we took stutter steps to and from the bed, chair, toilet, or her lift chair. She feared it was too much and we would fall. I swore to her I would never let that happen, I would never drop her. On the 14th at 6:30 she was struggling I asked if she needed to go to the ER ... a pause .. yes ... I said okay we need to get you dressed ... shockingly she said she didn't care about putting pants on. We got to the ER, I helped her stand and they picked her up and placed her on the bed in the ER. I thanked for yet another dance. 7 hours later after settling her in ICU they told her sister she wasn't expected to leave ICU ... her sister called me before calling the family. Two days later she asked me to find a last gift to her sister, she accepted her fate with dignity and grace. As she always did she put others first ... their bond was special ... asking to find something for her to give was an honor with a lot of responsibility. On Tuesday the 20th I delivered and had to help her give it as she was too weak to lift the package. I shared a few special words with her, told her I would see her soon ... watched a tear form and she closed her eyes feigning sleep. I realize now she couldn't watch me leave the room. I was honored to be called her friend, even more so to be one of the 24/7 care givers. She kept saying she hated being a burden, every time I told her honestly it was an honor. I couldn't look back, I was hoping to see her the next day but feared I wouldn't. 7:15 the next morning her sister called she had passed after finally falling asleep after a very rough night. I'm still in a bit of shock but damn straight I wouldn't of wanted to miss the dance with her. My message to everyone ... EMBRACE THE DANCE it may not always be fun, but every second is worth it, IT IS LIFE!

    This is my go-to song for any hard thing in life, especially the loss of loved ones. It's a reminder to go ahead and take the chance (almost certainty) of pain in order to experience the joy. People pass, relationships don't always last, serious health issues arise, life is freakin' hard, but worth it, so enjoy the ride! I LOVE this song. Love it.

    You picked a good one! Garth is one of the very best. Some of the best Country music there is, comes from the 80s and 90s! Great Era in Country music with so many household names coming on the scene and timeless classics. Definitely has a different feel than Country from the 50s, 60s, and 70s which is fantastic too. You know Country music is often referred to as Two Chords and the Truth. Its always great songwriting, sung with soul and passion with great messages that stay with you. Often great life advise.

    When this song came out, we were friends with a group of people that included rodeo cowboys. One of our friends said he would never live to be 30. Somehow he knew. I don’t know if he thought it would be from rodeoing but instead at the age of 29, he was hit head on in a vehicle accident. The Dance was played at his funeral. My cousin who is part of the group was country DJ and also a photographer for Cheyenne Frontier Days. He just died last December 2022. Hearing this song again connects it to him now in my heart.

    Hey guys. This is from his debut album " Garth Brooks" in 1989. He would turn country music 🎶 on it's head! He did and sang stuff and did stuff that nobody else was doing at the time. He has won entertainer of the year numerous times, broke sales records, attendance records, and puts on a show like nobody's business!! I've been lucky enough to have seen him twice. In 1989 and again in 1994 or 5 here in AZ. He is the most down to earth guy you'll probably ever meet. He is considered a legend. Glad you are checking him out.

      That's because many people have no taste. He tried to change to rock like Taylor swift and made a fool of himself. I like some of his songs, but I don't care for his voice. But, then again, I lean more towards bluegrass, and I love the older country artist who have kept country, country.

      @@TheSyncos it's a free country but country music is struggling to stay country and that's a shame because pure country is poetic and beautiful. ALL the synthetic accompaniment is really taking away from its beauty. There are very few musicians today who stick to guitar, fiddle, mandolin, even banjo and piano and go with sound tracks. Garth Brooks has just left a bad taste in true country music fans mouths. You can listen to whomever you want but we need to fight for pure country. It's not just music. It's a heritage.

    "Like fr😂eaking RIP" 😍 Yellowstone is my favorite show! I hope you are enjoying the series. Garth Brooks is one of my favorite artists. I attended my first Garth concert in December 1992 on the "due date' of my first child. Our tickets were general admission and three hours on the floor was brutal, but I wouldn't have changed a thing. My second Garth concert was @Neyland Stadium in January (?). Our seats were on the top level and it was SO COLD! The show was unbelievably awesome!!! My niece is not a fan of country music, but kept saying "Wow, I had no idea! "

    This is the song my dad asked us to play at his funeral. He was murdered a few years after telling us this, so we did. It always reminds me of him. I recently saw Garth live in concert and this song played exactly at 11:11pm which is significant to me. Was really beautiful.

    While y’all are on the Garth kick, you’ve got to check out, “If Tomorrow Never Comes.” I think with your expression of love for your wife & children, it fits you perfectly! I’ve already arranged for it to be played at my funeral. In a good way. ❤️
    Keep up the great work!

I'm alone at seventy four with two songs to mourn to....No Tears in Heaven (Daddy will see you again baby girl) and The Dance (I pray my wife found her happiness). God bless

    Our sons were incredibly close to my parents. At 28, our younger son decided to change careers and recieved a full scholarship to film school where he recieved a degree in film directing. The last trip my mother was able to take before her death was to his graduation. As a way of honoring her, he created a video of her life and used "The Dance" as he showed pictures of he and his brother.

Then I saw Garth perform one of his songs live on an awards show. Totally changed my prospective. I have never been to one of this concerts but love to watch his live performances.

    When the original video came out it had clips and images of people like John F Kennedy, Martin Luther King, John Lennon, the crew boarding the spaceship Challenger before it blew up. You are probably too young to remember that. Kristie McAuliffe was a teacher chosen to fly on the Challenger and it blew up 73 seconds into the launch and all 7 crew members were killed.. I still remember that day. Would all these folks have changed anything if they would have known how it all would end? I have been on a deep dive into your channel watching all your country music reactions in one night. Glad to see someone enjoying what country music is all about.
