I'm sure this will get lost among the literally thousands of other comments, but I need to say it anyway: The best thing about the storyline here is that after clearing up the miscues the str8 guy wants to stay friends.

[@stevencoleman4956]

It's not lost

[@robertosouza581]

[@gossimer3]

Yeah, but it's in all likelihood a forever altered "friendship". Truly rare is the friendship that isn't. Sadly.

[@joypalos474]

I agree with you. The song is song beautifully too. The world would be surprised how many girl friendships go through this and remain friends for life. Should be normal for boy friendships too.

[@everettjennings4443]

Not lost at all. I found it in March, 2022!

[@stevegrandmusic]

Today, July 2nd, is the 1-year Anniversary of the release of "All-American Boy," I want to thank everyone who made this video possible, and I want to thank anyone who ever shared this video, or even just watched it. It is only because of YOU any of this has been possible. I will never forget this incredible year as long as I live. Thank you so much! Now get ready for my next single which will be out in August, and my full length album, which should be out in September! Working hard to make it happen every single day!

I'm as straight guy who grew up country and western, had a lot of friends and some turned out to be gay. Something like this happened to me and honestly it didn't bother me a bit. I thought about it and took it as a complement. We are still friends and I have a lot of respect for my friend. Its not easy for country people to come out, its worse when they try and get treated like there is something wrong with them. Blessings to all and live / love who you like. We are blessed when love finds us.

[@TRAXX7785]

Dang you straight guys! You are the curse for us gay boys. I fell in love with a straight friend who's girlfriend treated him like shit, if he would have given me the chance, I would have treated him like gold.

This song still hits me even almost 10 years later. I have yet to hear another song that speaks so well to part of the experience that is growing up gay in rural/small-town America. I thought of this song when my husband and I had our country wedding 7 years ago.

[@mattybrunolucaszeneresalas9072]

[@SoCalSand]

I'm not even gay and this song got to me. The message was pretty powerful, especially the video. What I liked about the video was that even though his friend wasn't gay, he didn't hit him or ridicule him when he kissed him. He let him down easily without humiliating him. I'm glad people are starting to act that way.

[@firstgreenspace]

I am, finally seeing, that a boy in the south, proud of his heritage, and honest and true, and gay, can become, a door for others like me to find acceptance.

[@wurldtravlr620]

He is not from the south. He was born and raised in Chicago...

[@firstgreenspace]

Seems we might have a difference in definition of "South", as I have noticed, many Chigago'ins have relocated to my hometown, Oxford Mississippi, so, well, where did the line exist if ever it did?

[@ruben34467]

7 years ago I discovered this song, I was in the closet, it really helped me to accept myself and be proud of who I am. As a 23 year old gay guy I can say, I love me.

Hey and that’s all the matters starting for loving yourself the way you’re and then someone come to bring you love 💕 always be with open arms doesn’t matter if last longer or it’s for as long you may live take the chances for love.

[@wes2460]

This song reminds me of my life growing up in near Knoxville Tenn. I was so deep in the closet back then (1998) and a huge Red-neck farm boy. I was in love with our schools QB and I was the RB and we were at a huge bon-fire for Home-coming party at my parents farm. Damn he was so beautiful we were so shit faced , he asked me to help him get some beer out of his truck which thrilled me. I loved his smile and dimples and his Joy dog food hat turned backwards we were standing and then Shania Twains song Your still the one come on . I went for it and kissed him and he kissed me back and then some. We dated secretly for my Junior and Senior year of high school. I was in love , he was bi and would not come out. I came out in College and have never looked back. It was heart breaking to leave him but I could not deal with having a beard(GF) so his Dad and brother would not kill him they were crazy. He did come out about 6 year ago finally I heard but you never get over your first love it still hurts to this day.

I have a straight friend who I've known all my life. He's 25. I'm 23. A long time ago he came over to my birthday party. I was turning 8 yrs old. (He was 10) He stayed the night and we ended up cuddling and then after that we ended up cuddling for a little while every time we hung out together. (for about a year or 2) Afterwards we stopped cause he told me he thought we were too old to do that lol. (I was a bit upset cuz i had a little crush on him lol) I came out to him when I was 19 and he was really supportive but never told him that I had a crush on him or that I had feelings for him at one point. I honestly did try to ask him if he remembered us cuddling but I didn't wanna freak him out since he's already supportive so I just let it go but now we work together and he has a 2 yr old. Were both single still best friends and that's ok ❤ I'll always care for him.

[@ryanxu1718]

Steve, I'm a grown man, who has in my many years, been married and have kids. I love this song because it reflects what I went through my entire life, admiring and loving another man from afar but so afraid to do or say anything about it. For many years, I've lived this lie and if not for the fact that I am at work, I would probably cry after watching such a touching and beautiful song and video. I hope that you have found your "All-American boy/man" and truly happy and wish you nothing but continuous success. Yours truly from one who was too afraid to take the path that you have!

Soo you’re still in the closet? Its must be hard to live this life

[@Tomgreifzu]

Eric, I live your pain.

[@bisanm.h.140]

I was born and raised in a rural community in southern Minnesota. I kind of wish I had more role models like Steve Grand, when I was coming-of-age, to emulate and live the country or rural values. Thank you, Steve, for being that wonderful role model; for men and women who are realizing that they're gay; in a world that gives LGBTQ youth mixed messages more often than not.

[@driftwood1906]

Steve Grand has the song, the voice , the good looks to have made it big on hetrosexually orientated main-stream: had he been prepared to conceal his sexuality. The fact that he chose not to do so, is a real tribute to his personal integrity and good sense. The fact that he felt he could in the country and society in which he lives; is a tribute to the campaigners for equal rights; his fellow citizens (well most of them), and actually the politicians (well, some of them!) I think both Steve, and those other inspirational voices such as Eli Lieb; are doing us all a great service in moving us all on culturally and emotionally. At last a knight in shining armour! And by St. George, his armour really does shine! My only complaint about this knight in shining armour is that he is a bit late turning up! I am 57 now. Where the dickens were you when I was your age? On well, another cosmic planning malfunction! Thank you Steve Grand, you are doing a Grand job! Yours respectfully, Nick in Cornwall, England. PS. Just off to Amazon to order your album.

I was a little older than my friend 'Mike' and he was the sexiest, star, athlete, in his class, so I gave him a lift after practice. Over a three year period I fell head over heels. Yes, He cared deeply...he was just straight, and the big man on campus. A few days after his high school graduation he turned and said, "You know you aren't my girlfriend!" and I got up and left. Its been 32 years and have never seen nor spoken with. To this day, it's painful. And, he should have come with me, my gay life has been a blast!

It is an honor to make a contribution to help enable you to do a CD your way without the possible pressures of a recording company to do it their way. I am impressed by such a handsome young guy who is so articulate and courageous and who has what it takes to work towards your goal. That you happen to be gay is just part of what makes you a positive role model for those young people who need someone to inspire them and help them come to terms with their situations. You indeed are an all American young man and it is my hope that you will have the experience of loving and being loved by another special person of your caliber. - Matthew

I just love this video Steve! If that's you jumping off the dock, what a nice bubble butt you have! I hope you are enjoying your World Tour!!! My spouse (Same Sex) passed away the 28th of July. Just 20 days after his diagnosis of small metastasized lung cancer. On top of that he had an inoperative brain tumor causing his brain to swell. It was his left lobe of the brain and within a week and a half, he was paralyzed on his right side. That's when everything went into a downward spiral. He suffered so!!! I'm so glad he went quickly. If you read this, thank you! Being single now, I can come to some of your events if they are local. Nothing to stop me now...

I love this song, He is such a beautiful person.

[@mikepinjom4368]

He was meant to be a star and change the world with his infinite beauty.

That whiskey bottle keeps magically refilling - and where were they driving - two states away?! MInor beefs to a really great video. I remember when Grand put all of his money into this project and it got some airplay.

[@ford2219]

Oh man, the memories. I used to watch this gem hidden, worried about me being discovered, back when I was in the closet. Now I’m out and happy. Still crushing on straight guys lol

2021 and I am just now discovering this song. I FELL IN LOVE WITH IT. I remember being at work and just singing this song the entire time I was at work! @SteveGrand I love you and your voice. Coming out was one of the hardest things I ever had to do and hearing this song made it a whole lot easier.

[@NoorMohammad-xh2eu]

Hi

[@traceyashwell3343]

brilliant song. i just stumbled upon it, and thought wow. great x

[@desadariusmica9176]

I have to give you a great big KUDOS! By accepting Sargent White's invitation to the Marine Corps Ball in November 2015.You have restored my faith in the gay community by not only your music, your openness, but also the compassion and guts it took to accept this brave man's offer. I hope you guys have a great time! Thank you again for putting a smile on this pessimistic old man's face.

[@LightbornCastles]

I fucking love this. I'm so glad that artists like you exist because honestly, ignorant people who love to think that guys who are into guys only like Britney Spears, Katy Perry, Lady Gaga, ect...I love listening to good country that doesn't give a shit about the gender/sex shit. Thanks again man.

[@julianar4032]

Moral of the story: never crush on a straight person :/

[@AhmadFauzi-dj6uv]

Juliana R agreed with you...why i always crush on straight guy..😭😭..

[@JaxTheCartographer]

easier said than done:/

[@metalcored00d49]

I think that is the best statement. Never crush on a guy you know you can't have.

[@emycharaa]

[@punkprincess30]

Sir, Can't believe i hadn't heard of you sooner. I older i get i literally feel like i have been living in a cave somewhere 😆. If someone else see's this pass on how much i am enjoying his music. And hope to hear so much more. Thank You

[@scotgat]

Unrequited love-sad for everybody-straight or gay.

[@PieterBezuidenhout810721]

It took me 30 years to finally accept my gay self ... and the irony is everyone was just waiting for me to acknowledge the fact ... fear is debilitating ... thank you Steve for this ... I can now openly without prejudice say I love this song ---> ♂

[@ogbobbydee]

Steve, for someone like myself, having grown up as a "normal" kid who loved to spend time in the woods, worked outdoors, hunted, fished, did everything that an all-American boy was supposed to do and be, yet knew he was gay; this video did so much for me. It pisses me off that you were criticized by people in the gay community as a "queen" who was "behind the times" regarding the theme of your video. People don't realize the depth and breadth of homophobia that exists in rural America, and still exists in this country in general. To hell with these people in the gay music critic community. They live in an ivory tower in an insulated urban environment; they should try living out in the country and see just how far they get then. Thanks man...you're great!

[@10GOLDENWOOD20]

It was years ago, but I remember it like it was yesterday. We're still friends, years later. His wife tells me he speaks of the good times we had. Makes me smile, just like this video did. A little misty eyed, but a big smile. Mercy, Steve is drop dead gorgeous!

[@mattybrunolucaszeneresalas9072]

Okey?

[@JesseBozarth]

Perfect of what a lot of men go through. Shows both sides and I love it. Bless you buddy.

[@blackandblue1020]

Happy 4th of July from Serbia to all of you out there 💕💕💕 Six years after this song is still my favourite💙

[@joelstalcup2464]

I adore this song! It perfectly relates the feelings of unrequited love. Steve Grand you're amazing!

[@katg1466]

How am I just finding this song? Hot damn it's good!!

[@mykadassano438]

This video is sad! Beautiful voice, very fit guy - very awesome... but so sad. I mean I love that the best friend didn't reject his friend or start beating me up or anything - but still sad.

[@Sk8rGuy5141]

Steve Grand, your name rings true--you have been a Grand inspiration to countless people, and I know it to be true. I admire how revolutionary your mindset was when you followed your passions and desires to compose and produce this song and video, that I know resonates with so many individuals around the world. Please keep following your heart and do what feels right! You wonderful man, you. = ) -Jonathan

[@stevegrandmusic]

Thank you so much for that, Jonathan. That really means a lot :)

[@Sk8rGuy5141]

[@squirrel-exclamation]

JUST SAW YOUR SHOW AT COLUMBUS OHIO PRIDE FESTIVAL 2019!! YOU ROCKED IT DUDE!! RAIN AND ALL!!! YOU'RE BEAUTIFUL MAN!! Continue doing what you're doing!!

[@stevegrandmusic]

thanks so much for coming out and braving the rain to see us! Thanks for all your support! so glad you enjoyed the show :))

[@kduv889]

geez this video is my Teen years in a fucking nutshell....UGH i love it and hate it at the same time. I bet a lot of us gays can relate too

[@vintageglam81]

I'm sure they do. I am am an all all American girl (well at least raised as one -I'm 1/2 Moroccan too but I've never able to see my family over there) and I love British boys! So I'm pretty sure American guys love Brit boys too! Best of luck to you sweetie!! ❤️❤️❤️

[@ClaudKaKeiYeung]

J Owen Same here. Oh except. I was not that tall, I was not rippped, nor was I white, oh and it was Australia, oh and I didn't most of those thing they did in the music video, oh and actually I never got to be that chummy with the boy... Hmmm come to think of it, we almost have nothing in common.

[@rustypudder4606]

+pastort1966 Aww it's not like that with everyone. There are nice guys out there. Just gotta sort through the garbage. He's out there for you

[@Seabasstard22]

J Owen I so fucking relate to this song

[@lga9436]

Why is KZbin suddenly recommending this?!? I needed this 5 years ago. Thankful for the recommendation.

[@marshal1x]

Id be his all-american Boy anyday and an amazing singer with them looks :) Im liking this guy. cant wait. be the first album i have bought in YEARS.

[@yivelihumekaa9523]

That straight guy is kind. Not homophobic. I like 👍 👌 ♥ him.

[@DKLong42]

Oh god. This is like nostalgia for me. Although the other guy knew I was pan. Lesson learned, never expect anything from straight boys...... Unless they happen to be curious xD.

[@BodahChristiansen]

That is the shit! If only something like this existed when I was a kid I would've been so much happier. As it is, it's making me absolutely thrilled beyond belief that it exists for me and all those kids now. Great work.

[@MikeChaput]

We've all been there.

[@mikekent1490]

Seems someone sent the wrong signals to you:( I would've mistaken those signs as a "come on". Great song

[@HardcoreFanfictioner]

My heart kinda broke into itty bitty pieces at the end, because he didn't find his love. I'm crying right now, and I want this song on my phone so that I can cry in class and have people ask me what's wrong and I can say whilst sobbing "He didn't get the guy!!!"

[@shanebruce1]

Thank you for writing this song, sharing it with the world, and making this video. As a former "All -American Boy," now an "All American Man," I want to commend you. How wonderful that young people can see this as normalized. When I was a kid I went thru this, but in such shame and confusion. A country boy, true and pure in heart and Soul...I need to know it is possible to be who I really am, not some in-genuine version, to either fit in with the "Gay Community," or mainstream society. Stay Golden Steve Grand.

[@stephendavidbailey2743]

Straight guys can't feel the way you do. They can do everything short of 'liking' you. It's OK to be attracted - but if it goes beyond that, run like hell. He can't feel the way you do. Don't let yourself be hurt. I had a forty year love affair with a straight guy. He could never return the love I felt. But he never stopped being my friend, and loving me as best he could. Now all I have is photos, memories, and visiting his grave 200 miles away once a year.

[@paintur68]

Wow. This should be the theme song to my life. All the good ones are perfect straight guys. :- l Wait, after I make a pass, I'm no longer a close friend. My fault for trying! :-D

[@RatongaBruiser]

Happens to my little sister all the time.
