Jamey Johnson - In Color (Official Video)

Anyone in here in 2024 ?

This song is my grandpa. Born in 33, served in the military and married to the love of his life for 63 years... I lose it every time.

I can't believe I haven't heard this until now. I gave up on Country Music a few years ago because it just ain't Country anymore. It tells a story, like a song should do. It makes me think of all those years ago. Mamaw and Papaw have been gone since 1977, Dad left us in 2002 and Mom left us in 2016. I can't even say how much I miss all of them. This song is what I needed today. God bless those generations that came before us.

This is, in fact, the perfect Country & Western song.

I picked & played this specifically for my Grandpa at his funeral in 2016. He was an extremely decorated WWII Veteran. A member of the Elite Merrill's Marauders, an all volunteer unit. His allegiance to this Country doesn't end there. About 20 years ago he informed us, casually I might add, that he was a Code Talker during the war as well. Native American Code Talkers are the reason we won the War in my eyes. He was awarded the Medal of Honor for his acts of bravery Above & Beyond the call of duty. He never spoke much about the War when I was growing up & now I understand why. He was one of roughly 200 men who survived hell and back numerous times during their operations to overtake the Japanese. Of the original 2997 that volunteered for Merrill's Marauders, only 130 were found fit for duty when the missions were complete. He had no Heros welcome home by any means. He still was not allowed to enter the Businesses in Harlem, MT. Many of these businesses that proudly displayed signs stating "NO INDIANS ALLOWED" are still in operation today in our small town. At 92 years old he was officially Named the Chief of the Nakota people in Fort Belknap, MT for his acts of bravery. This scared Chief Ceremony had not been done for over 130 years. I am beyond blessed that my daughters were old only enough to witness this & remember this scared Ceremony. My youngest daughter actually participated in the Ceremony that day. Additionally, yes Additionally, he was awarded an Honory Doctorate from Montana State University Northern in 2012 for all his humanitarian contributions to not only the people of our Reservation, but the entire Country. Yes, I am extremely proud to be a direct decendant of this honorable man. Dr. Gilbert Horn Sr., Chief Return's with Prisoner Horse of the Nakoda Tribe. But to me he was Grandpa 💞 Thanks for reading if anyone is still interested 😀

This song is a complete tribute to the greatest generation that ever walked on this earth. Thank you dad…

How in the hell did I not hear this song before? This is a masterpiece in storytelling.

Hey Jamie, thank you for this song and thank you for walking on stage with Oliver Anthony. Both mean a lot to all of us. God bless you and your family and your future.

I'm a 46yr old US Army vet of two combat tours in Iraq, 03-05, my Dad served in combat in Vietnam 69-70, his Dad, my Grandfather, a radio man at Utah Beach on D-Day in 1944, hit with German fire and was wounded, his younger brother, my Great-Uncle, served in combat in Korea 53-54, wounded badly with his right leg bein damn near blown off at the knee....all of 4 of us proudly served this nation, took our Oath of Enlistment very seriously and my Dad and I still do, and we all have suffered from the memories of the shit we saw, the shit we had to do, of the brothers who we lost to enemy fire....When I think back and remember the shit I wanna forget about Iraq, I can't get the smell of burning oil and human flesh outta my nose for hours afterward, it's the damnedest thing and not even time is helpin me forget that smell, it's as strong as ever...anyway, THANK YOU to anyone commenting here who served in a branch of our military, and yes, even you squids from the Navy....lol.....HOOAH

We played this at my great grandfather’s funeral today he served in world war 2 and this will now always have a special place in my heart

This song makes me cry and it gives me goosebumps . One of the greatest songs I have ever heard .

I think this song is one of the most under appreciated songs in country music. I still don't understand how this song was beat out by Taylor Swift at the CMA. I never get tired of this song. It has so much meaning. Is so well written.

One of the greatest country songs ever written. Shoot, it’s one of the best written songs of any genre ever.

This song is American as it gets!! Salute to all the veterans, Thanks for the sacrifice you made for our freedom, GOD BLESS!!

At my last foster home I heard this song. Every year or so since then, I think about it. Today on the way to my “grandmas” funeral… I watched the video finally again. The line about not knowing what is hiding behind the gray, then the change to in color, made me hopeful. It made me remember that though some days are gray, I shall enjoy the moments in color right now, so one day, I can share of my times with whoever is willing to listen. That makes me hopeful for a better future. Thank you, Jamey✨ May all those reading, be blessed✨

One of the few country songs in the last 20 years that’s worthy of being a classic.

I have one last great grandfather from ww2. He recently told me his stories, since his memory has started to go. It was the first time I saw the man cry. What he went through, he said, is something no person should ever have to do or see. He's 93 years old. His generation is passing, and I think he knows his time is coming. It's sad to see it happen with your own eyes. This song will always remind me of him.

There are no words on Earth, to convey how absolutely artistic, and brilliant this song is. My Grandfather was a part of the 4th Marine Division in WW2. I'm a 20 year combat Veteran. I will never not tear up a little bit listening to this song.....

48yr old, New Zealand here. Bloody hell. What a tearjerker. On my playlist on spotify now.. off to find more of your songs!

My dad went through the Depression in foster homes. He enlisted in the Army in 1942. Survived the war in Europe. He died in 1991. Dad I miss you a lot.
