welcome to the self hatred that a lot of men feel. now you see.

You have a cute habit of blinking with the beat of the song. 🥰

[@TACMAN76]

Glitter Jelly Roll and Struggle Jennings

[@verdabehner8963]

I had never heard of him until his song Long haired son of a sinner I love his voice, his messages, his heart

[@coreysheets4862]

The very first time I heard this, I was sitting in my kitchen, completely drunk and high. I had been battling alcoholism for years. This song literally did "Save Me". I broke down there on my kitchen floor. When I felt like I had nothing left and no hope left, it saved me. I had never heard of Jelly Roll before. I'm so thankful to this man and this song. Clean and sober for 2.5 years and counting.

[@Froggystyle662]

Jellys music has saved my life..when you strughle with depression it can be hard to see your not the only one..He does a great job reminding people they arent alone

[@tripatomz3441]

Amen brother amen. Same

You're never alone James. The world loves you and needs you. ✌️♥️🙂. 👊

HUGS!🤗🤗🤗 I SUFFER too!🥺

[@pooljunki1]

Glad it helps for me not so much

[@pjhelbig]

Came for J. Roll, stayed for everything else. This breakdown is nothing short of damn-near scientific. Love this channel

[@TheCharismaticVoice]

Awww, thank you!

[@amorakjjk]

This is why i like her, she breaks down WHAT we're hearing rather that what we're feeling.

[@tjpowell234]

Yea and her expressions are so cute

[@slsslc8207]

@@amorakjjk It's nice to hear someone actually talk about the amount of talent and skill with some of the rock and metal songs others would describe as "just a bunch of noise"

[@dizza2020ify]

She is fantastic to watch

[@pauls.5815]

you said this better than I could say it. 100% agree

[@tomtreadwell6863]

ShortyDP me too. She truly has a passion for music. In a way I'm kinda jealous that I dont really have something that grabs me like music does for her.

[@marklloyd1988]

I'm so proud of this man. He helped me when I felt my loneliest selling drugs and ruining my life. He made nl.e not feel alone because he was doing the same thing. I have since turned my life around and I have been sober since 2/15/16 and have recreated my life and I'm so happy that he is doing the same thing. He also never forgot his roots and still takes care of a lot of people

[@musickf]

His lyrics are exactly how I feel half the time. Mental illnesses suck. This song hits very close to home. Thank you for reacting to it and exposing me to him.

[@TYGER0902]

His last 2 albums (by himself) “Self Medicated” and “Beautiful Disaster” plus Waylon & Willie 4 with Struggle Jennings are outstanding.

[@codyjones2145]

He has a way of letting you know he's felt the same pain we all have

[@Sarah-lb8cs]

This is the first song I had ever heard from Jelly Roll and I fell hard ❤️ The feeling when a song touches your soul and hits you in the gut is one of my top 5 best things in the world. And mental illness does suck....I struggle too and I see you🥰

[@daddyduce691]

When an artist puts that kind of emotion to a song is amazing. This is not an easy thing to do out of fear of being rejected

[@charleston_brad9446]

Hit me up if u want someone neutral to talk to🤗🤙🏼

[@issinit1]

The way he says "I'm a lost cause" sends shivers up my spine everytime. Such a powerful emotional song. Resonates so well

[@glenlarson4933]

"Ah... Ah... Don't be done! No! You can't be done." The best praise that a performer can have. I felt the same the first time I heard this song.

[@sarahmckee3914]

Lol I've listened to this at least 35 times in last 24 hours haha

[@firewheels90]

Came to say the same thing!

[@dreamlover7681]

Your diversity is marvelous, I thank you for that.

[@crhu319]

She is setting the standard for that among vocal reactors, at least a half dozen times she has done something first.

[@TheCharismaticVoice]

You're welcome & thank you for the support! Unity in diversity, I say.

[@JSAFIXIT]

There are so many different types of music, life would be dull without a variety of great music.

Thank you!

[@glenholmgren1218]

Same - refreshingly JOYOUS

[@JW-28]

Jelly is a real one. Ive been rocking with him for like 15 years. Its good to see him finally getting the recognition he deserves.

[@celtics9348]

Baring one's soul for everyone to see is powerful and brave. Respect.

[@robinmcinarnay7827]

Yes, I was really kinda surprised to not hear that descriptor with the plethora of adjectives she incorporated into this incredibly comprehensive analysis. I feel like he poured his soul into this song and ultimately left a piece of it there, forever. The emotion, impact, power, and especially, beauty are resounding. The religious connotations behind the title “Save Me” while being such a soulful performance seems very significant.

[@BillLamoreaux]

"Ah, ah. Don't be done. No! You can't be done." Is the nicest compliment (and, there are lots) in this video. I loved it, thanks for sharing.

[@patrickstanton2718]

I love this song. The first time I heard it a buddy of mine from the Army. Shared it about a week before he committed suicide. This song has so much more meaning to it than most even know. Everything I hear it I remember him. He was a good man and a great medic.

[@9HighFlyer9]

Sorry for your loss. I hope you're doing well. I'm amazed in the way people who are struggling will reach out, sometimes just shy of begging for help.

[@jakel7213]

My uncle shared this with me a few weeks before he took his own life as well. We ended up playing this at his funeral. It definitely hurts to hear it now, but I give it a listen once a week at least. It makes me feel like I'm sitting next to him in his truck.

[@oglschmitt]

My first time hearing this and . . . wow, broke my heart. The combination of pain and strength in the way he sings "I'm a lost cause" just blows me away. Dude has serious talent. Elizabeth could probably talk me into liking just about anything, and she is engaging and insightful as always here, but this this song is an emotional powerhouse. I wish this gentleman nothing but success and I hope he finds some peace.

[@ArcticLemming77]

This song gave me shivers and brought me to the edge of tears, that raw emotion and pain in such a clean format was truly moving. Thank you for introducing me to yet another amazing voice.

[@MsDanieleRenae]

Glitter does it too

[@gregorypcampbell]

Gives me goosebumps every single time i listen. And brings me to tears half the time too.

[@anthonydefr]

I feel you.

[@philipvogel7114]

I can’t listen to this song without tearing up.. still one of my favorites

He came to Isleta Amphitheater last month, and when this song started, hearts were touched and tears flowed. He truly makes music for the broken, misfits, and losers 🤘🏼😌🤘🏼

[@1978Davebrown]

This woman is so witty, cute and just all around beautiful. Her smile and laugh are addictive she needs to be a tv anchor. I love how truthful she talks about this song and she definitely knows her stuff. Good job on this reaction.

[@damcrazy26]

I loved watching you completely geek out over an artist I never thought you’d react to! ❤️

[@jonhumphrey1768]

Your so beautiful inside and out. Your personality just makes me smile.

[@TYGER0902]

One thing is the last couple of years he lost one of his friends, his mother was diagnosed with Alzheimer’s, and in 2019 his father losing his battle with cancer. So some of his addictions crept back up (his weight and drinking more).

[@hehawseve3560]

I hate to hear this and it hits close to home. I'm 35 (I believe he's around there too), lost my dad to cancer last year, had a super close friend fall out of my life, and my mother is showing signs of dementia (on top of being a mess over my father). This song hits me so hard and I know exactly what he's feeling right now.

[@jasonwright9598]

you are on of the few gems on youtube these days. Thank you

[@TheNordicHunter]

This song tears me up inside. Especially when he says I’m a lost cause. That’s how I’m feeling. Brings tears every time. 😢

[@jakesmall3454]

I literally can’t listen to this song without tearing up. His background and his story and to see where he is at today is amazing. I really enjoyed this

[@ScarlettBlut]

As someone who has struggled with addiction and works in rehabilitation, this song means a lot, not just to me, but to all the people that come to us for help.

[@sarahmckee3914]

Scarlett, if you haven't told that to Jelly on one of his social media's please do. He said in an interview its messages like that, that drive him to write these songs that hit home. I don't think anyone wants him to stop so the more drive he has from hearing this is great. I'm happy that Jelly and this song helped save you. You aren't alone and music can truly heal.

[@mindfuct8862]

Been waiting for you to do this since the song dropped

[@Yeahgooood]

I'm not a singer or even a fan of singing critique but this is the best breakdown and reaction to this song, this is exactly what it deserves. Jellyroll is so talented

[@charleshein5991]

My dear the ooooooooo's are his heart howling at the moon... as mine does nightly. Thank you and Thank you so much Jelly Roll!!

[@kirbys1370]

Hi Elizabeth, this is my first time listening to Jelly Roll and he has an incredible voice. I wish my close friend and former co-worker, who passed away in April 2008, was here today to hear this song. I believe she would have related to the lyrics and looked for more help and support. Thank you, Elizabeth, for this performance/video! ❤

[@splitarillo1960]

I hope you and her family are doing okay..sending love and hugs.

[@TheCharismaticVoice]

She would have. As mentioned, hope you and her family are doing fine. Thank you for your support always Kirby!

[@greencheek]

6:50 there's a pause for the class.... I'm also a grown man crying. Jelly is amazing!

[@derekhelms5645]

Your passion for music is just second to none. It’s truly spectacular how well you do these breakdowns. It’s a breath of fresh air every time I hear a breakdown from you. Thank you for doing what you do..from the bottom of my heart.

[@randyhoward12]

I've only watched 3 reaction videos of hers and I've learned more about music in about 20 than I have in my 35 years

[@chacehorsman2615]

I never realized Jelly Roll could actually sang. I just liked his raps lmao. He seems quite sincere as well.

[@CrippledMerc]

I love this song. Not only because I can relate to it so well, but because of how he performs it. The way he sings this song and the emotion he puts into it is so visceral that you can’t help but feel it yourself when you listen to it.

[@joegriffiths709]

I don't know if it would make great channel content, but I think you might like to hear Manowar. Particularly the album 'The Triumph of Steel". Songs like 'Ride the dragon', 'master of the wind' and 'Demons whip' are pretty DnD influenced. The singer for the group does have a pretty good range to his voice and he loves to belt.

[@TheCharismaticVoice]

That would be great! Hope it gets enough upvotes for a review... that's really a good band.

[@Lord6]

I can't express this enough: Jelly is a bona-fide true artist, in every sense of the word. He's a genuinely happy, kind and expressively thankful person, and his journey has been a thrill to watch. He radiates good energy and he's incredibly intelligent. He's come a long way from where he was 10 years ago. That's admirable.

[@stevenanderson2555]

Watching him cry because he got to perform and the grand Ole Opry was surreal

[@Lord6]

​@Steven Anderson his Opry performance and his recent nomination and award were truly wonderful to see.

[@cranefixeroregon8815]

I love that you point out post production and do not flavor the comment as a negative. So many people believe that post production can make any individual into a high level performer.. in the end the talent is real and post layering only adds to the level of emotion for the consumer. I love raw music but i also really appreciate sound engineers.

[@LincolnHawk-bk5yr]

Elizabeth, I just love watching you geek out. I have learned so much from your videos and have been very thoroughly entertained. Thank you so much for your efforts and time.

[@merijayne84]

This song gives me chills. He makes you come into it. You feel it. Itsa side of Jelly Roll that we didn't even know we needed. This man is amazing; lyrically and vocally. Brava, Jelly! We love you,man!

[@radiotrin37]

If you don't feel something in the heart area after listening to Jelly Roll, you might be dead inside... Great reaction/analysis as usual! Keep up the amazing work. Truly enjoy your content!

[@peaceindarkness.darknessis3494]

Jelly has blown me away as of late with both this style of songs and his lyrical content!! This album has been on repeat since it dropped. Thank you for your analysis

[@TheRandalHandle]

Another great video. JellyRoll has always been solid but "Save Me" catapulted him into a whole new level. "smoking section" is another good non rap song of his.

[@Matt_Mc_GENX]

Love smoking section ❤❤❤

[@lavenderskys008]

Mobile home is my favorite! Have you heard Pain No More from SNO album? That was my first song with Jelly and from there I was hooked.

[@gregmulholland7413]

Knowing this song before finding this breakdown/review has only helped me to enjoy watching this more. Seeing the look of pleasure and almost giddiness that is so pure as the voice and lyrics pour out makes me appreciate it even more.

[@David-bj6de]

Thanks for talking about his talent. Instead crying over the words. Great reaction

[@johnnyjohnston4990]

[@TheBengstonWoodshop]

Ugh, this song hits home... Jelly Roll is an amazing singer and I hope he continues down this path and continues to push himself.

Found Jelly Roll on Stevie Knight. The Algorithm sent me down a reaction hole. Found this channel. Am not disappointed.

Thank you for doing this. Jelly Roll is a hometown hero here in Nashville and is one of the most humble celebrities I've ever met. He used to regularly shop at my store and would just hang out if he wasn't in a rush.

Gotta watch these twice. Once for the original artist, who I generally have never heard, and then to watch Elizabeths reaction. If for no other reason, Elizabeth is making me aware of other artists I would have overlooked.

[@stoindrae]

Just listened to this song recently... and clicked the link to watch the original video this morning.... I like his tone and delivery ... Looking forward to the review!

[@moneyboy503]

I've heard this song so many times that I know it word for word, but it relates so hard to how I felt when it came out and to how I feel now, still that I can't help but cry every time I listen to it. You guys, check up on your friends that check up on you. we aren't always alright.

[@lelandc9763]

More more more more more! Even most of his rap songs, he sings on the chorus. And while you may not be able to analyze an entire rap song by him based on singing, his ability to reach deep inside your chest and just rip your heart out is among the greatest ever, imo

[@Darksoull.]

I am soooo happy you reviewed this song. I have been listening to this song for a while now, and I could not wait so see your reaction to it.

[@sludgiebear]

Thank you for analysing this song and bringing it to my attention because this song resonated with me and hit me really hard. I feel exactly how this song is written and sung, yet I've been trying so hard to be better. So far as Jelly Roll as a singer, so nice! I feel he projects the pain of the song very well. The song has a simple arrangement within which his vocals are certainly the focus (which I feel should be the case for such a song). The tone of his vocals, combined with the simplicity of the music and arrangement, yields me to feel a very forefront presence in my ears where I feel I need to listen to the words being sung, and I want to listen. That, combined with his vocal melody and phrasing is just eargasm (apologies to any young'ens in the comments section! lol). I didn't know what to expect coming into this video of a song by an artist I had no idea existed until now. However, I'm now a bit of a fan of this guy. This song is delivered so well, and feels not over-produced - it feels more raw and simple. So good!
