Are you kidding? I grew up in New York so definitely not around country music but I was pulled in by the storytelling and the depth within country music. Country music touches your soul.

[@LincolnHawk-bk5yr]

A man who would do that, especially for a complete stranger, deserves nothing less than a medal and the gratitude of our injustice system.

[@shawnm5641]

Completely agree 👍

[@wendellbabin6457]

One that so consistently gets it wrong for BOTH victims and perps as well at times. Especially Juveniles and occasionally first offenders too. Then releases the career criminals over and over again.

[@carls1959]

The message here is don't beat on your woman. There are a lot of us out here who will do the time to put you where you belong. And if she runs into one of us, your number may be up. Thank you for sharing. Good reaction. P.S. You are the first to pick up on the fact that she was still waiting in the truck.

I am a DV survivor and a country music fan. When I first heard this, I was stunned. I just sat in my chair unable to say a single word. Then my PTSD nightmares and flashbacks started again. I ended up watching this over and over to "desensitize" myself to it. Now I can watch it from not only a personal perspective but also as a Trauma Counselor. I have been surprised that so many people don't know what a 12 is, what whiskey scars are, what wait in the truck means or what a judge under the seat is....maybe that just comes down to where you grew up. I knew those before I married an abusive man. In this song, he probably saved her life. If he hooked up with someone else, he would abuse her also...abusers rarely change. Those that say "Why doesn't she just leave?" have chosen to be deliberately ignorant on DV. My heart aches for those who were killed and those who haven't been able to find a way to escape yet. As a country music fan, I've heard some amazing songs but this one is in a category all by itself. Thank you for doing this reaction...hopefully you'll continue to react to other impactful sings. Sending warm regards from Kentucky.

[@barsandbarbells2022]

Happy that you made it out and have overcome your struggles onto a better path 🙏

[@michellebarker8940]

I wish I would have had a judge under the seat...I have those whiskey scars....I too have to keep listening to it over and over

[@rebeccascott6508]

Exactly! I had to pull my car over because it hit me so hard. Escaping isn't always easy. It took me 8 years. But I am 24 years out and loving life! But the PTSD is a bitch cuz you never know what will trigger it!

I'm a DV survivor. There are thousands of us. Some got away like me and many died. 😢. But I hope Hardy and Lainey win the awards at CMT awards in April, this song nominated for.

Domestic Violence has been explored a lot in country music. “Independence Day”, “Goodbye Earl”, “Concrete Angels”, “Alyssa Lies”, “”The Little Girl”, “Gunpowder and Lead”, “Church Bells”, “Cover Girl”, “Blown Away”, “Me and Little Andy” and “Evening Shade” each explore DV in different ways. Warning: Some cover heavy child abuse as well.

[@WithoutFearKAZ2Y5]

Brad Paisley has one too, “Karate”

[@thumper84]

Thunder rolls. CMT banned it after 2 days yet still got video of the year. This was pre Internet

[@timothypark2447]

Judge under the seat refers to the Taurus Judge 45/410 revolver.

[@gailvolm3862]

Country has always dealt with problems that regular people face, which is why it speaks to a broad range of people if they are open minded enough to expose themselves to.

[@TJ_in_SC]

She’s still waiting in the truck for him @ the end.

[@swampman4512]

Wait in the truck is back woods talk. This man knew someone in his life he couldn't save and couldn't go through it agaon.

The first time I heard this song, I had tears streaming down my face and had to pull over. I am a survivor of domestic violence. I prayed for years for rescue! Finally got out after 8 years. Took my sons with me and stopped that cycle of violence! Songs like this are needed!!! One in three women is a victim of domestic violence. More light needs to be shown on this issue.

[@themeez1000]

Also as someone who is a veteran, sacrificing myself so that others may live is something I absolutely get behind

[@greeneyelove2003]

Love the reaction. I haven't watched all the videos yet, but you mentioned you haven't done a lot of country. And there are a lot of country songs out there that are storytelling songs like this that will blow you away. Martina McBride for example - 'Concrete Angel', 'Independence Day' and 'Broken Wing' all deal with some difficult topics and her voice is beyond amazing. Reba sings 'She Thinks His Name Was John' and I really think you would like the song/videos to 'Fancy' and 'The Night The Lights Went Out In Georgia'. Kenny Rogers 'The Gambler' and especially 'Coward Of The County'. Love watching people react to Kenny's 'Coward Of The County'. And I'll also throw out "Whiskey Lullaby" by Brad Paisley and Alison Krauss as a suggestion and say you will need the official video on that one as well, because like this, it's more of a mini movie that just makes the song all the more amazing. This song here is just incredible. The line, "...I never thought my day of justice would come from a Judge under a seat..." There is a gun actually called a Judge, which I didn't know the first time I heard the song. My dad actually caught that little nugget and explained it to me, so it's a pretty clever play on words.

[@tquiring212]

Exactly. So many country songs that tackle difficult subjects like this. I may add Jason Michael Carroll's Alyssa Lies and Garth Brooks The Thunder Rolls to this list

[@lefty3141591]

I was also thinking of Martina McBride: "Concrete Angel" and "Independence Day". Not as hard hitting, but John Michael Montgomery's: "Sad Little Girl" there are some country songs tackling difficult subjects. It is amazing what people are able to address in a country song. Warning, have some tissues handy for a couple of these.

[@justanoldmansopinion]

Add to that list of great songs that deal with difficult subjects Tanya Tucker's "Blood Red and Going Down"

[@greeneyelove2003]

@@lefty3141591 Oh, the one by John Michael Montgomery makes me cry every single time I hear it. There really are some great country artists who aren't afraid to use their music to draw attention to serious topics. Totally respect them for that. 'Walk Away Joe' by Trisha Yearwood is another good one.

[@greeneyelove2003]

@@tquiring212 "Standing Outside The Fire" by Garth, especially with the official video is another incredible one. "Alyssa Lies" ranks up there with "Concrete Angel". No matter how many times you hear it, those songs will rip your heart out. Reba's song/video "What Do You Say" is another one that always gets me in the feels.

[@RAW2881]

Most country songs tell great stories you will come to find out. Some are heavy, some are funny, some are sad, some are just good ole party anthems to jam out to on the boat or in the back yard bbqin with your friends. A lot of country artists are great writers or sing songs that great writers write! Hardy is both. He started out as a writer and is now singing. I think you guys will come to love you some country music if you listen to enough. Listen to the song The Little Girl by John Michael Montgomery.

[@pennybrock4858]

In the South if a man tells you to wait in the truck, it means justice is about to be served

[@FuzWuz64]

There are phrases he wrote that are fire. "Judge under the seat, I smoked one of his cigarettes, this place is better than the place I sent him too. Great song with awesome lyrics. Y'all are one of the few who realized she had hus truck

[@LarryT1993]

This is a True Story: the guy hardy is playing did actually go to prison for 5 yrs for Manslaugter. trespass charges where dropped and the guy was killed in self defence which is why the real life dude got 5 yrs. why is was in prison he wrote that song and gave it to hardy last yr why the guy was at a hardy consert.

[@guyray1504]

Lainey is not only a singer but also an actor and singer on the show " Yellowstone " with Kevin Costner. Costner also has a country group with a song called " When the Angles Come Down". You may want to give them a try.

Hardy has written a ton of songs for everyone! He just started doing concerts & Lainey Wilson is also a new artist! He's kinda like Chris Stapleton. Chris has written Tons of songs for others & his wife, Morgan talked him into it. Now she does harmony & sometimes a duet. If you haven't seen the award show in Vegas where Chris, Morgan & Justin Timberlake do two songs back to back & everyone says it's the best performance they've ever seen & I have to Agree!! Just try it, if you like it great, if not don't finish it. Thnx for the video!! ❤

The gun he pulled from under the seat is called a judge, thats why she said justice came from a judge under a seat

Country has more deep meaning and story than any other genre imo obviously their are songs that are just drinking songs or whatever but that isnt most of what country is about.

The truly great country songs go there. Often they get overlooked by the fun songs. But after something like this you need a lighter song to help recover.

One reason I LOVE country is it often tells a story, like this did.

[@lylelookingbill6606]

In country boy vernacular "Wait in the truck" translates as "I need to handle something and I don't want you to see it being done." Sometimes real men must unleash the monster inside us, we must be meaner than evil. We don't want you to see that side of us, we don't want you to fear that side of us so we tell you to ''wait in the truck" As she is on the stand testifying she says "I don't know if he's an angel because angels don't do what he did" I would submit that he was both a guardian as well as an avenging angel. When the system, when society fails to protect those weakest among us it is left to rough men standing outside the rule of law to do what is necessary to preserve the peace, protect the innocent, and return civility. Some call this "vigilante justice" but for some the vigilante is the only hope to obtain justice. Here is what I saw in the video: A drifter, a loner, a ex'con (Based on the prison tats) finds a gal who has been beaten, he knows the signs he's seen them in the past in a woman he holds dear. He makes the decision to help her, the only help he knows is violence. He has been to prison and knows he can do the time. He makes the choice to remove her from her prison, a prison of abuse and pain, he frees her.

[@Mikyll1969]

In the Southern US, I will bet the guy never would have been arrested if he had not kicked in the door. Kicking in the door of someone else's home is a major offence here, while shooting someone who is abusive may not be a crime at all. It all depends on the circumstances.

[@danmahoney8376]

In his defense he did knock twice to give the guy a chance to come to the door.

[@P8may5]

Carrie Underwood actually has two darker emotional tracks that are similar to this one as well. One being "Blown Away" and the other being "Church Bells"

"Judge under a seat" is referring to the pistol he uses, which is a Taurus Judge. You just haven't heard enough Country songs. Yes, a lot of Country music is upbeat and humorous but there have been many Country songs over the years that take on heavy subjects. I can think of a couple off the top of my head that broached child abuse, Martina McBride's "Concrete Angel", John Michael Montgomery's "The Little Girl", Jason Michael Carroll's "Alyssa Lies". Also songs like "Whiskey Lullaby" by Brad Paisley & Alison Krauss and Garth Brooks' "The Thunder Rolls (specially if you include the third verse). I am sure there are others about other serious topics, they're just not as common as the love songs or the let's party and hoedown songs.

[@philliphinkle2812]

I have been waiting for someone to point this out.. right on

[@corycody6967]

Glad you caught “The judge under his seat”. They are referring to a Tarus Judge five shot revolver that can shoot .45 cal or .410 shotgun shells.

[@DS-182]

It's not actually a taurus judge... it's just a revolver either a .38 or a .44... the "judge" under the seat simply refers to the saying "judge, jury and executioner" that revolver wasn't big enough, bulckey enough or ugly enough to be a taurus judge... not only that the cylinder is way too small....

[@jamesdowns1747]

You are boath right... the song refers to the taurus judge... In Video it's like a colt python. They use as the prop

[@walterrussell6584]

There are many songs like this in the older country eras. Great story telling on some heavy topics.

[@yvonnemassey3658]

A mans honor is what he is. He knew he couldn't walk away and leave her to more torment and possible death. He told her to "wait in the truck" because it was in his hands now. This is choice, his sacrifice, his consequence and he wanted her to have no part of that. He made that choice with his honor intact, he was sentenced with his honor intact, he is doing his time with his honor intact. He released her from her prison, her hell and he is at peace with that. And if you read the bible you know that Angels, even Jesus and God himself will raise their hands to protect "us". Great song. Great topic for discussion. For instance, would anyone's opinion on this man killing another man change if this woman were a child?

[@kevinkarbonik2928]

I found this song after seeing an article about the controversy behind the song and I always check it out to see what their talking about. Some people that said their survivors of Domestic Violence hated this song and was saying that Hardy is super toxic for this song. This has the same weight as Thunder Rolls. Maybe if more artists did songs and videos like this people might pay more attention to domestic violence. It’s a great song and I really love Lainey’s voice. It has a great country sound to it similar to Reba, Dolly & Loretta Lynn.
