[@MAGA4EVA1986]

As a nearly 40 year old fully disabled combat veteran myself, I grew up in a “broken family” and we lived with my Mother who was an abusive alcoholic because my father was a truck driver and didn’t know how bad it was for us until years later at which point he took us away from her. She went from the “perfect” family to living on people’s couches with NOTHING until she ultimately succumbed to cancer which she left undiagnosed until it was too late. My sisters kept relationships with her because they each had kids of their own and wanted them to have their grandmother in their lives. I DIDN’T, I stopped talking with her and I NEVER FORGAVE HER, and as an Avowed Atheist I’m not sure I ever would’ve. If there was a heaven (which obviously I don’t believe there is) I don’t know if she would be in it.

I had to work two jobs or the sole breadwinner most of my marriage to my first. I stayed 20 yrs in fear of him. It ruined my oldest daughter,...and left my youngest daughter, hating her father. They only made up a day before he died, which left her with scars to heal over time. I'm living with guilt I didn't leave sooner. Maybe my girls lives would've been different, happy.

Kinda crazy to think that something so beautiful could come from so much pain and hurt.. thank you for letting us experience it with you if only for 3 and a half minutes

[@iLLiteMfka]

Im gonna be honest. I dont think that anyone thats listened to this song has only done so just once so we have all been here for many more than 3.5 mins if ya ask me

[@ehp1998]

I cry… because I lived this life… 46 years and my youth haunts me. I lived this… the memories that rush in are too vibrant. I relate brother, I do.

[@duncanritchie1988]

u peak in hsc too man

This is the type of song that can break your soul but also heal it

[@jamobee6178]

This song hurt on several levels. But I seem to keep listening to it. I, thankfully, don't know about growing up with an addicted parent but I know that feeling of not wanting to go home because of fighting parents. This is easily one of the most powerful songs I've ever heard. I want nothing but peace and joy for this young man.

[@paverguy8]

Dude I had amazing parents I mean I really did but that doesn't mean I didn't become a absolute piece of s*** in my life! My work ethic is the only thing that ever kept me from taking from others. Brother you are the real deal! God bless the song writer such a tortured soul!

[@NolanTaylorMusic]

Thank you so much.

[@CivilizedWarrior]

Yeah, same man. I can’t really relate to having a parent who was an addict, my mom is practically a saint, but I can relate to it from the other side. I had my troubles with addiction and I put my mom through hell when she found out that both of her sons were drug addicts. I’ll never be able to repay her for everything she’s done for me, not least of all sticking it out and not giving up on me and my brother. I owe much of my sobriety to her simply believing in me. Been sober almost 8 years now, my brother a little less, but we’re still trying to make up for it and get our lives back on track. This song really made me reflect, and I want to thank Nolan for inspiring me to start writing original music again, for the first time in a long time. I feel like writing songs about addiction and recovery is kind of helping to get all those negative emotions out of me. It’s pretty therapeutic. And hell, honestly, I’d be happy if I can write a song half as powerful as this one.

[@rickygee8412]

If you’re reading this I’m sorry the pain you are going through. You are not fighting alone. Keep fighting, you mean a lot to someone you haven’t met yet.

I didn't have a life story like this yet I (as we many of us) fundamentally understand it to our core. That's talent.

[@natashagenier2642]

I've listened to this so many times! It hits so hard, u are not alone, we all feel you with our own stories, we love you! This song is so healing, tysm sir!

[@KyllDyll_]

I found this last night and I’ve listened about 10 times since then. Everyone is so impressed by the vulnerability, but let me tell you, as an artist it’s usually the only time people listen to how we feel…

[@richardburgess9345]

The first time I heard this song was in my work truck, heading to a job site. I ugly cried and raged on that damn steering wheel. This one hits hard if you’ve lived it. It brought back a lot of painful childhood memories, but was oddly therapeutic. “My whole life I’ve been running from you!”

[@tysonmorris1073]

Sing that damn song brother. We can shine through the dark with songs like this. Thank you

[@Superdadchris]

Making a grown man cry, god bless you brother. I felt every emotion coming from his soul to the strings of his guitar. The righteous are manifesting through the flames of this new world. God is coming for his righteous.

[@iste4lyourf4ce18]

I've listened to this 25 times today, just to see if I can get though it without breaking down. No luck so far. Thank you so much for this song. I never thought there would be a song that actually mirrors my feelings for my mother. I needed this.

[@NolanTaylorMusic]

Damn thank you.

[@shaunbaye3216]

I’ve never heard anger and hurt sound this beautiful before. Inspirational.

[@eeeee5318]

This is one of my go-to songs. Doesn't matter what mood I am in it always hits just right.

[@jeffking4463]

The last time I remember this much passion in music was elvis. Awesome song my friend

[@Ghost_327]

I wish I could smash that like button a few hundred thousand more times. This is how music and art are supposed to be. Thank you, Nolan.

[@blakeatchison3738]

This right here is REAL music!!!! 💥

Means a bunch thank you.

[@geoffreywooledge6118]

Sucks that pain and suffering make for such great music. May God smile on you my brother

[@jakemarfoglia]

Stop over-producing artists, and just put out albums with this level of rawness. Is that really so much to ask?

[@MotorCityMax]

I'm OK with enjoying this with you all and not the majority of people who won't appreciate it

[@WesleyThibodeau]

Very accurate comment!!

[@xV0ODO0x]

This has 5 million views. Relax lmaooo

[@dirtybrokebored2678]

Not every song needs to be an emotional masterpiece. Sometimes I just want to drive around listening to Katy Perry, and thats ok

[@Wills_onthehills]

I second that

[@Gr8WhiTe1990]

I've listened to this song probably 50 times in the past 48 hours. I've never felt so much in a song. This is nothing like my childhood, yet I feel like I'd lived this when I listen to it. The heart in this is beyond what music is supposed to make you feel. Truly a masterpiece.

[@drewstokes3329]

I lived this life. Almost exactly. So this is my anthem. My family I made is worth more than anything. Thank you Nolan

[@jtheprospector.1458]

I heard this song when it came out. Way before Oliver, but now I must say that both of them would be probably one of the greatest duo's that the country has ever seen if they did. These are real everyday guys with real emotions coming out through the strings. Doesn't get much more American than that. The talent is unmeasurable.

[@udonnomi6958]

That man just bled his HEART AND SOUL into that microphone! I can't remember the last time I saw a performer pour this much raw emotion into a song!

[@jesseragan1912]

Literally the best song of 2023 as of now across the board my man... This is f#/@ing gold

[@NolanTaylorMusic]

Thank you!!

[@EnjoiEmerica83]

If there is one thing about real, genuine music regardless of genres, those people find a way to reverberate your soul harder than the true stories they're personally telling. This guy hits home hard for a lot of people.

[@amattusaf]

Sad but true story for many….I’m thankful I can’t relate, but know many who can…hits home Nolan, great song

[@christopheriacovo8472]

Wow... just wow. Thank you for this raw testimony!

[@benvasilinda9729]

His voice is flawless. The record companies would pay a lot of money for him to sell his soul to them.
