Alright, hey guys, welcome back to my channel. So for today's video, I'm actually going to be singing you all a song, acapella. For those of you who've been with me while, you probably remember I did two music videos but way back in the day, I probably five years ago around now, but I love to sing. You're new to my channel, welcome. My name is Will, please hit the subscribe button and hit the bell. And I do kind of all types of videos and my channel is taking a new direction within the last few months given. This shit storm that the beauty community is undergoing right now. And yeah, so that is why I am doing a non makeup video and we're just gonna sing a song. This song in particular means a lot to me. It was one of my dad's favorites and it reminds me also of my fiance. So for a little backstory, if you're new, my father passed away four months after my fiance did at the beginning of 2017 in January. So they were just four months apart. And my dad loved the Dixie checks growing up. We are not him growing up. Growing up, he played the Dixie checks all the time. I love country. It's one of my favorite things to listen to and that was one of his favorite bands. So his favorite song was Traveling Soldier. And I listened to it again after Ryan passed away my fiance and I've roaked out. I had never really listened to it and understood it. When you hear the lyrics, you'll kind of understand, but for the longest time, I couldn't sing it. So I'm happy to say I finally am in a place where I can, moving to Denver, saved me. Really, it did. I met great people. My first relationship with Ryan with Billy's, honestly, changed my life. And I made the most amazing friends. So this song is dedicated to my father and Ryan and also to my mother. If you're here, if you're watching this mom, we used to love singing together in the car. And I know you loved country more than dad. He didn't love all country. Primarily the Dixie checks. So whenever he would play it, we would all get excited because it was something that we could all bond on. But yeah, so this is Travel Week Soldier by the Dixie checks. I'll go ahead and play it. I'm not a music channel, so I don't have any equipment or music instruments or anything. So bear with me. All right, here we go. Two days past 18, he was waiting for the bus and his army green. Side die to booth, add a car to faith, add a give a soda to a girl with a bow and a hat. He's a little shy. So she gives it on the smile. And he said, would you mind sitting down for a while and dark and to make a fear and a little low? She said, I'm off and now and I know where we can go. So they went down and they sat on the pier. He said, but you got our boy from that. I don't care. I've got no one to send to let it go. Would you mind to fight and won't back you? I cry. Never gonna hold the hand. Love another guy. Too young for him they told her, waiting for the love of a traveling soldier. I love never and waiting for the soldier to come back again. Never more to be alone when the letters say soldiers come and home. Sorry. So the letters came from that army camp in California. The Annette Mary daughter of his heart. It might be missing all the things. But he was so scared there. He said, when it's getting kind of rough over here, I think of that day sitting down at the pier and I closing my eyes. And I see your pretty smile. Don't worry, but won't be able to write for a while. I cry. Never gonna hold the hand. Love another guy. Too young for him they told her, waiting for the love of a traveling soldier. I love never and waiting for the soldier to come back again. Never more to be alone when the letters say soldiers come and home. One Friday night at a football game, the Lord's mercy in the anthem sang a man's sad folks. Would you bow your heads for the list of local Vietnam dead? Crying all alone under the stands was a big little player in the marching band on name was red. But nobody really cared. But a pretty little girl with a bow in her hair. I cry. Never gonna hold the hand. Love another guy. Too young for him they told her, waiting for the love of a traveling soldier. I love never and waiting for the soldier to come back again. Never more to be alone when the letters say soldiers come and home. I cry. Never gonna hold the hand. Never another guy. Too young for him they told her, waiting for the love of a traveling soldier. I love never and waiting for the soldier to come back again. Never more to be alone when the letters say soldiers come and home. Alright, I hope you enjoyed. Mom, I love you. Ryan, dad, miss you so much. Yeah, thank you to everyone in Denver. You guys saved me. I love you all. You're my family. I'm staging for the next one. Until then, bye.
