I think EVERY wife/gf/fiance should listen to this song

[@gdav549]

I agree.. but in my personal experience and the experience I see reflected back by many...many... many other men is that when topics surrounding supporting men cone up. There's more than a 50% chance that she'll twist the context into "Women too".. While I agree that women experience unique challenges in life. Talking about men, talking about supporting men doesn't mean to stop caring about women but I ask any woman to give me 5 examples of songs where the message is about men and men's problems... Empathy is free, yet society's a whole refuses to even afford a fraction of that given to women.

[@whiskey287]

Nah man. Men need to rise to the occasion and perform. Having their mates aware of thr problems does nothing. We are here to balance out their waves of emotions. You don't have to like it. But it would benefit you to be good at it.

[@darylmeese9621]

ONLY, if they can listen - and won't weaponize it further. But experience says it will be weaponized.

[@Luke_wait_for_it_marengo]

Agreed, it should be deemed required listening.

[@mumblez22]

I agree but I think every man and woman should hear this so they know it's ok to feel and to speak

[@Shelby-GT350-R]

(Young blond Singer @6:42) You picked me up, when I was broken. You pieced together words that were not spoken. You found a way to see me as I was, Even when the world doesn't show you the same love. You're expected to do everything on your own, Provide and then hide all the feelings that you hold. But your heart is deserving enough, show it I see you for who you are, I hope that you know it. Please dont hide yourself, Ill try my best to understand.......

[@shinjusmith5293]

"You got this" is all many need to hear from time to time. These simple words motivate us to be attentive and present.

[@christophernieto3685]

I agree, if us guys hear that more we will move mountains and go through hell

[@kyleb5169]

Exactly! Support us, respect us, appreciate us, empower us! Women get all these things almost every day but men don't get this or even get a compliment. Women get flowers regularly, men get flowers only at their funeral.

[@dontcarebear4455]

Absolutely everyone should listen to this song!

[@PlayfulPancham]

Ma'am at the 3rd verse your reaction made me want to say alot of men do try to be vulnerable but more often than not it's used against us turning us into cold heartless monsters who shut off every emotion beside anger

[@gaulstonedog4633]

Never be fully vulnerable around your woman. God and your bros are the shoulder's men lean on.

[@gaulstonedog4633]

You can say there were times your man was your strength. It's ok, it doesn't diminish you to uplift him.

[@robertdavis487]

She said she will do her best to understand😊

[@jonathonsmith3220]

As a Marine raised by a Marine I know exactly what you mean

[@DeathBringer492]

Thank you! I was wondering who a couple of these other people are. I know Atlus but he's the only one

[@juliecook5165]

Thank you!

[@Luke_wait_for_it_marengo]

Thanks for listening to us.

[@user-iq5oj5pt7o]

This one just broke me. Definitely hit home. It hit a lot of things with this old divorced vet.

[@scottm2649]

7:20 You picked me up when I was broken You pieced together words that were not spoken You found a way to see me as I was Even when the world doesn't show you the same love You're expected to do everything on your own Provide and then hide all the feelings that you hold but your heart is deserving of showing I see you for who you are I hope that you know it

[@darylmeese9621]

These are words of life.

[@mumblez22]

Hey! We are here for YOUR reaction and not just the song. You talking is the whole point. We want to hear your perspective on what the song portrays. Try to remember that for your future reactions! Thank you for your post

[@BetterEveryDayYouTube]

thank you for your input! I get a lot of comments suggesting I shut up, so I sometimes worry if I'm pausing too much.

[@CoconutxKimchi]

@@BetterEveryDayKZbindon’t listen to those comments. If they wanted to listen they can go listen, this is YOUR video and YOUR reaction. Most of us wanna see reactors have comments and dialogue.

[@dope1760]

So true we are here for you! perhabs you should try subtitles if you can't understand some words! I do the same 😅❤

[@gaulstonedog4633]

Preach!! 😂

[@robertdavis487]

He said he wants to suppress the present! I'm former army active duty! I do that every day! Thank u for sharing ur views on this topic . I'm trying to survive.

[@benglasgow1196]

I dont think yall women understand how much it helps being verified that what we do isn't being unseen. To hear yall say you got this baby makes us feel like we can take on the world

[@TruthIsTheNewH8]

For sure. Hearing that from my wife makes me feel like I can take on a million man army by myself with nothing but my fists.

[@kyleb5169]

Absolutely! It's not rocket science on how to make men happy. At the end of the day, all they want is to feel supported by their wife, fiance, girlfriend, etc... respect that a man has feelings that are completely valid. Like Tammy Wynette sang in the 80s... Stand By Your Man, give him 2 arms to hold to and something to cling to when life gets cold and lonely. Stand by your man, and show the world you love him, keep giving all the love you can and stand by your man.

[@curtywindley]

This song is crazy! It says everything I never knew I needed to hear! There's a strong desire to provide and protect my family, which I learned from my father and I would never complain about having to do it. "Cause all I want to do is provide. I was made for this...." I LOVE taking care of my family and wouldn't ever ask for a role reversal. But sometimes "I just want to cry, be given a hug, and be told everything will be okay". Thank you so much for your reaction

[@user-iz9eb6gn2c]

You showed me your honesty and good heart

[@paulwilliams7700]

You dont see the emotion because we dont let it be seen.

[@DanielDavis1973]

5:26 exactly. many (most?) of us are conditioned very deeply to never talk about these things or we'll look weak and vulnerable. No matter how much we want to we're afraid of having it weaponized against us. It doesn't really matter how misplaced that belief is. It's a very deep trust issue.

[@darylmeese9621]

The "fear" of having vulnerability weaponized often comes from experience. We shouldn't easily shrug it off as unreasonable.

[@hotice8885]

​@@darylmeese9621 I was JIST about to say that belief is never far "misplaced" at all, if EVER.

[@robertdavis487]

I'm trying to keep it together. I'm so broken I can't hide it.

[@grahamnash9794]

You showed a small but significant part of your heart during this video. It left me close to tears. Seeing just how beautiful people can be what some of their inner most soul is allowed to come forward, help a lot with finding how much more we have in common as a created race. Made to be social beings, made to love and be loved, and girted with empathy that helps us understand each other better, especially when we stop for just a moment and out ourselves in another's shoes. A tenderness cam from you that has remained close to the surface for any with eyes to see to discover, but not this time, you put it on show, and it's incredibly beautiful. THAT'S why I can say in all innocence how much I love you. I tiny bit of what you said pushed really deep into my heart and showed a lot about me that I've had tucked away for so long. Not word for word, but taking strength from your husband. What did that say? It's this, that we all, everyone of us have that within us to give and receive strength, enough to take the edge off of any and every internal, whether from mourning a lost soul, tor simply had a bad day. Whether raised by a marine or a prostitute, it's there to be shared, truck drive or front man in a rock band, makes no difference. When I'm told we're made in God's image, this is what I visualise, living the harder side of love, where we all get hurt, and draw healing from each other, making us ready to fight again tomorrow. Now the song, ice.... Just kidding. It was nice, but with a divine ability to reach to depths of the soul that haven't been accessed for a long time. Musically, it mad me think back to days when the lighthouse family were doing well. Smooth, easy going soft, laid back, and all round pleasant, even for a metal head... (We all have our vices, mine are metal, and a nice cup of tea). It's one of those very rare song that could go on for another half our, and it would still be easy to listen to. Very cool having so many people playing their part in the video, that gave it another dimension all together, pointing out that we do indeed have the same make up, are all cut from the same cloth, and all lovingly and fearfully knit together in our mother's womb. The over all theme of exposing the gentle side of human nature was the big point for me, show that young men shouldn't have to conform to any stereo type to be accepted. Just wonderful. More like this please. @ere, once I type this out, I went over it, bit at a time with a magnifying glass, and had to correct about 50 typos... LOL Find it hard reading letters on a keyboard Hehehe. That twice you made my day Randi, I looked in at my inbox to discover an email from you. Thank you. That meant a huge amount. As Steve said, your "rambling" is always welcome, you have so much more than you belive, as when you ramble, what you give is received and loved. Your insights are from the heart more than the mind, and therefore more meaningful. There, now 2 people have complimented you at once.. Be blessed Randi. TTFN

[@chrism6764]

As a guy who has been through some stuff, this really hits home. So powerful.

[@kenjacobs4273]

This is how a lot of men feel

[@DevilTX66]

Guys and gals. This song is not aimed at women. It is aimed at the world and how the world sees a man.

[@kyleb5169]

Women are a part of this though. I've read through the comments on so many reaction videos for this song and a common theme is the woman using his feelings against him, invalidating his feelings or just straight up disregarding how they feel. While its not aimed directly at women, you can't deny that women in some cases are part of the problem with how they react to men. If a man opens up and gets berated for it later on, why should he open up again just to go through the same BS?

[@robertdavis487]

This is w wonderful mix! It's me .I work 100 plus hour weeks. For me, and for everyone. I don't talk. Too much time. I'm army 3 tours. I'm broken

[@steved6092]

Powerful song ... thanks Randi ... you almost "got" me with your outro ! ... no one wants to be praised every day but occasional recognition would be nice ... Not telling you any more ! you're not rambling, you perhaps don't realise how relaxing your voice is and how interesting you actually are ... Are we having chick cam ? 🐤🎥😀

[@user-kn9qn9um1m]

Because nobody cares about what we feel!

[@davide4589]

I really liked your reaction. For once, I didn't mind all the pauses. You have a soothing demeanor about you. Go hug your husband and tell him how much you love him :)❤

[@glennbarrett9661]

When you go to give him the hug , tell him you respect and appreciate him . Tell him you will always be there for him. Then hug and tell him you love him!! ❤

so i love looking up "first time hearing ____" and today i landed on you consider me your newest subscriber. i have a suggestion id love to see you do, btw

[@BetterEveryDayYouTube]

I don't record very often these days, but you are more than welcome to drop a suggestion. :) I will take your comment as a compliment as well, so thank you! 🤗🤗

[@JameZel913]

@@BetterEveryDayKZbin Oh it was meant to be. I dont subscribe to people who I dont wanna see lol. But I feel you, I used to upload my music daily and now its been months since the last one lol but one you probably aint familiar with that i'd love you to do is Aesop Rock - No Regrets. Aes is a rabbit hole, he's widely regarded in the underground as an absolute genius. That one is one the only ones he ever dropped that was "easy to understand" usually his stuff is extremely cryptic and needs broken down. but, i think youll really dig the message of that one - and if you do him there's definitely a small army that rides for Aes who would love to see what your thoughts are on it too

[@steelman0605]

I keep telling y’all, ole man with father of seven, has a magical voice, sounds like a 20 yr old sisqo/ dru hill, and I think I saw a video with his 11 or 12 year old singing also, B E A utiful, lots of talent in those genes!

[@kyleb5169]

A lot of women don't hear about a man's feelings because 1. society says its not manly to be vulnerable and 2. women use a man's feelings against him in a future argument. Men only open up if they are in a space where they know there will be not retribution for their feelings. Women if you want your man to open up like this and be vulnerable to him, LISTEN TO UNDERSTAND don't listen to react. Don't use what he says against him in a future argument. Any women who don't agree with the messages of this song, needs to work on herself and stay single until she can learn these things. This song is literally a road map for women to understand how a man feels and the 2 women give you a shining example of how you should treat your man. The first lady shows you how to appreciate your man "You pick me up when I was broken, you piece together words that were not spoken" then she goes on to be supportive and says "but your heart is deserving love show it, I see you for who you are, I hope that you know it" It's literally a road map on what you should do to help your husband, fiance, boyfriend, etc... You get several men explaining different situations men suffer through and then 2 women that show you exactly how to be a woman for your man.

[@Instigator106]

All verses hit hard, but Ben Becker and Phix's hit the hardest. Truthfully, I think every one of the guy's verses are in most men's thoughts, and the women's verses are what we want to hear.

[@mumblez22]

My mother was a Marine and Father which I never met was Army Special Forces in Veitnam. I completely know what you mean.

[@shadowswithin702]

Let's just remember to check in on each other, being human and simply existing can be exhausting. No one can hurt you as much, as you hurt yourself.

[@tk5067]

If I could offer a production tip, turn your compressor/limiter/gate down a little. You have a little ambient noise in the background, so it's tempting to crank the gate up so it cuts that out. The result is we can hear the noise while you speak, then the gate crashes down to silence between your phrases. It's a stark contrast. I appreciate you tackling a deep subject. There's a lot wrong in the world, and home should be a safe, peaceful place for both partners. We can all do better and be better.

[@BetterEveryDayYouTube]

Thank you for tip!

[@richj5953]

SNOW THA PRODUCT "I DON'T WANNA LEAVE REMIX"

[@donaldpaulson3920]

Main reason I don't truly open up is either I'm just a sexual object or they don't want to think of or can't understand. Last thing I worry about is seeming weak...all of them already know damn well enough lol, can add putting my burdens on them, which is why therapy isn't an option...my last therapist I became a therapist for her lol which just more burdens on me, or scaring them off, seeming too "clingy"... but I could make a very long list of things before anyone thinking I'm weak, I know a lot of men worry about tho especially with females but nah just beaten down by life and basically and thinking of the future of everyone else and society, also I'm a Christian and highly doubt I find heaven...idk like said a very long list of why hold back, I still do open up a lot but not even close to what could lol which I'll tear up and cry or whatever, just most can't handle it...idk.
