Not only did Dave help Ryan get a place to stay, but he stayed by his side to make sure he did go get detoxed. That's a true friend. I really love that even his wife cared about Ryan and wanted him to get help as well, bidding him goodbye. You tend not to hear good stories where past friends end up helping each other to the end, especially if one ends up on drugs and needs help getting clean. This is heartwarming and I was scared and expected something bad to happen at the end. But it ended well. I love these story driven songs. Always will love you Rare Americans.

[@2leven13]

In fact, growing up isn't all that bad. You get to enjoy things more because you do it for yourself. You cannot afford this as a teenager. Let me give you an example. The usual cooking in childhood is simply unnecessary. Your parents do everything for you. But having matured, cooking becomes something chill and useful, since it is done for yourself, which is very cool I guess. Sorry for my not that good English please.

My old friend I’ve stayed in touch with since middle school has been through some rough patches and hung out around the wrong crowds, he finally got his shit together recently and got a job that pays really well and he came back in town recently to chill at my house. I’m incredibly proud of him and who he’s become.

I really liked this story though, Dave was a real friend to Ryan, helping him out of the rut he got himself in. Like no joke I cried a little when Dave dropped him off at the clinic to help Ryan get over his addiction.

One small detail I think I noticed: At the end (about 3:17) Ryan is skating on a skateboard while Dave is on a longboard. Skateboards are smaller, faster, and harder to control (crazier if you will) while longboards are bigger, slower, but very easy to control (well-mannered if you will). These match Ryan and Dave's personalities, with Ryan being the crazier more rowdy one, and Dave being the quieter more reserved one.

[@eon6431]

one correction longboards are generally faster than a normal street board but otherwise spot on

[@adaste44]

i think this was stolen but idc

[@bum116]

I'm a mix of those two. A quiet, reserved person on the outside, but a rowdy person on the inside; being polite under normal circumstances, but aggressive and snappy when triggered.

[@dingdong896]

That is mad crazy details

[@TheKnocturne]

Since to me they look about the same in size I would guess they are both skateboards, but the distinction here i believe is that Ryan seems to not have grip tape on his board an intentional choice that makes skating much more dangerous while Dave has grip tape. I think this shows that Ryan makes intentionally dangerous decisions that can go badly easily and are hard to get out of i.e. him doing drugs or seeming to yell at someone near the beginning intentionally dangerous decisions that easily could have and are shown to have gone bad and that he is struggling getting out of.

This is just like my friend helping me with my alcoholism. I always lived with my mom and just recently moved in with this dude and although there's been plenty of people who've tried to help, he's the first one to really yell at, scold, and sometimes force me to do the right thing. I'm still having trouble but I'm slowly cutting down on the drinking and although life still throws plenty of bullshit at me, i still feel proud because I'm finally making an effort. This song hits close to home and i love it.

Something few people talk about, once your friends don't want you around their kids, you know you have a problem.

2:36 This scene is actually heartwarming. I like the idea that Jamie was the same girl under Dave's arm in the beginning and also watched as her friend slowly got worse and worse. She eventually stopped communication with him since she didn't want that influence on her children. But when push came to shove she still really does care for her friend and husband's cousin. She wants him to get better and have him in her family's life. Just a theory tho

I love the hug at 2:30. There are genuinely so many people who live in the streets or are addicted who long so intensely to just feel the comfort of another person treating them human. It’s so very real. There are a lot of studies demonstrating that the best tool for overcoming addiction isn’t medical or therapeutic, it’s just having people around you who understand and love you, many addicts will attest to the fact that their love for their friends and family is what motivated them to stick with the program. In the occasion that people do relapse, it tends to be from chemical addiction-or, because they suffer a great loss or change in their social circle.

Idk if you will ever read this, but this song has helped me handle my best friend/soul brother addiction w a gentle approach. I showed him this video when talking about how I felt and it stuck w him. He is now working on going sober, it hasn't been easy, I had to put boundaries, I had to learn to say no to him, but I also supported him w his therapy, accompany him to his monthly group meeting so he didn't felt so alone and also went to help him clean his room. I had hear a lot of songs that talks about handling a loving one when they are struggling w addiction, but yours is the one that feels like it comes from a place or love and care and that means the world to me. As a detail, I love how Jamey hugs Ryan before he goes to rehab, she knows Dave loves Ryan and want to help him, so even if she is wary bc she has kids, she doesn't see Ryan as lesser for struggling w addiction. I know it seems like a minor detail,but it seriously opened my eyes the first time I listened to your song. Thank you, Rare Americans 🖤🖤

[@shrevackado8418]

I love how there are different symbols in the music video. For one the art is amazing, but besides that, the one cousin, a pug bull dog mix maybe, has his life together, and it’s easy for him, because he gives off the look of domestication. While as the other cousin is more wild and wolf like, just like his looks. It’s also cool about the colors, you can’t tell if the wolf is high because his eyes are always red, and you’d think that red and green, the colors that each brother are, would not wrk out in the end and would clash, but they pushed through together. Overall I love his video and can’t wait for more!!!

[@jana7098]

Such a cool metaphor

[@stacy__fakename]

Adding onto the color metaphor, near the end you can see that Dave is wearing a red hat (Ryan's color) and Ryan is carrying a green bag (Dave's color). It goes to show that they really aren't that different, and that they're looking out for each other through it all.

[@severlst2293]

Red and green are complementary colors. Opposite each other on the color wheel, but work well for showing contrast when paired.

[@boneappletea5890]

Even tho red and green are opposite colors they look good together because they bring out each other
