My son shared your music with us in our kitchen. He resignatted so much with it, he passed away at only 17 11-27-23. He was trapped in a traggic house fire saving his biological fathers life. This is the song he introduced us to first and honestly it slipped my mind because it was on his play list. I came across this just now and brought tears to my eyes because I could see his excitement in his face and hear him introducing this song to us. I cherish the 17 yrs worth of memories I made with him. He loved your music and was so proud to share and sing along. Thanks for being apart of my boys life even though you didn't even know it. ❤

[@carlab1189]

Coming from Sam's mom, this has touched me so much! I am so sorry for your loss. I have personally made sure he sees your comment. I pray for you and your family. I hope music can help you heal ❤!

Your comment made me cry, I don’t know you from Adam but I feel you. I pray nothing but blessings for you and your family. I am starting to make music and just found this song and it made me come back and read the comments then I seen yours. I just want you to know I made a bunch of Marines and one thing I always told them was “your story was never meant for you” you were absolutely put thru something that God or whatever knew you would come thru as to be an inspiration to someone going thru the same heartbreak. They will use your story as motivation to get up and make it thru another day. Again you are loved. Lokie,

[@deeremeyer1749]

Prayers for you. You'll see him on the other side. Believe it in your heart. ❤

Sam, I’m a former heroin addict and my 16 year old son just sent me this yesterday! I haven’t been able to stop listening to it over and over! I’ve cried tears of gratitude that I’m able to have such a strong relationship with my boy after all the times I let him down. He forgives me so I’m able to forgive myself. Sometimes he amazes me at his wisdom and maturity at such a young age. I look up to him now. Thank you for making music for kids like him and their mamas.❤

You are the best. In rehab they tell you will be an addict for life. You are not. It was just a easy way to deal with some problems until you realize the light you were desperatly looking for in the dark, is to be found in yourself. You are stronger than 99% of all people

Just recently discovered Nolan Taylor couple weeks ago and wow! Check his music out, so raw and talented. His song writing and voice is incredible too!

This guy is going to be big. This music is replacing the hiphop genre as the main. This is the new main genre. I am loving it. Country singers that perform outside in the country have the most clout.

Thanks Sam! Songs like yours, Zach, Tyler, and the red clay strays are like prayers if you sing them out loud. This music has got me through some of the darkest days my near 50 yr old soul has even known. It keeps me grounded knowing I’m not alone and somewhere someone else is screaming Childers.

Lyrics: When there's a storm raging in your soul You gotta thank God that you're still growing old If them demons your fighting won't go away Drop on your knees and pray Life can get hard sometimes I know You got to get up and walk the straight and narrow When they're chasing you down with an old bloodhound And you're running through the fields for your life You got to get up son I know they're gunnin for ya Don't let the thought of yesterday Crowd out the visions of today Don't let your past define your name We will all be judged the same someday Life can get hard sometimes I know You got to get up and walk the straight and narrow When they're chasing you down with an old bloodhound And you're running through the fields for your life You got to get up son I know they're gunnin for ya When they're chasing you down with an old bloodhound And you're running through the fields for your life You got to get up son I know they're gunnin for ya.

Thank you for having the strength to put yourself out there. It is because of your talent and drive that I am able to share in your amazing music.I lost all of my sight a few years back. Music was always a huge part of my life but now it is also another way with which I can "see" the world. I lost my sight but keep moving on for my boys. I lost 2 organs and received a dual transplant. Still going for my boys and in memory of my donor. Now, just pick a song to sing as the sun sinks itself lower in the sky. I can picture the orange soft hues as you're singing. Thank you again for sharing your gift. :) Hope to see you perform in SE Wisconsin.

Hey sam i am a 12 year ild kid who discovered your music in a dark place. When i discovered the song it had helped me out of suicide. Every day i listen to this song and i cry every time. Thank you for being the way you are.

[@KumaBean]

How are you doing mate? I was in a dark place myself when I was your age, I’m all grey and stuff now, and I still struggle with it. Be strong, I know it’s often easier said than done, but it can be done, there’s always a way, it’s within you. If I can survive the stuff that I’ve been through, you sure as hell can survive it too, whatever it is. Trust me, one day you’ll realise just how strong and resilient you are, but that day will only come if you fight for it, and for yourself. It gets better 🤝

I'm an ex crackhead who tried to take my lofe in 2019, I survived just about and 4 years later im good and living life the best I can, I'm sober since 6-1-16 but ended up addicted to prescription drugs, I'm now 3 years away from pharmaceutical opiates and feeling a lot better. This song even with me being in a good place hits hard, I've got back up numerous times and I'm glad I did. I struggle with autism, bpd, clinical depression and other stuff. Life was never meant to be easy but I made mine so much harder by the decisions I made. Think long and hard about your decisions as one bad one can destroy your life. I dont have a religion as I believe in myself . Determination and pure will got me back. If I can do it anyone can. ❤
