Dude the more I’ve listened, you show me more and more why I strive to even be half of what you are as an artist. You are by far my #1 reason to actually chasing this dream and from the bottom of my heart, thank you 💯

Thank you brother 💪🏻 we are all really tapped in to the same stuff. Maybe we all have different wires tangled. Just gotta help each other sort em out ⚡️

@ That comment right there is why that I will never forget what all you’ve done for me, without you even knowing me at all. I appreciate the hell outta you bro 🤘🏼

[@ambertbeauty]

That's why I'm always saying Upchurch is crazy like a Fox because most people don't even take the time to truly understand his actions and words in this nowadays fast moving world, most just say he's lost it or is on drugs, but that's what most people issues, not his!! I'm always impressed by his actions and words because I know how to see the intelligence behind his, so called crazy!!!💯🎯

[@stoptheviolins]

​@ambertbeauty Yes! If you know, you know. :) HB4Ever Like, it takes one to know one. Which is why they hatin'. (Instead of recognizing this ain't FOR them and just minding their own business.)

I love the behind the lyrics. It makes you understand the song a whole lot better. I don’t listen to a lot of different artists and songs. I like your music. Your songs have a lot meaning and it resonates with a lot of different people. Much love and happiness to you and Bethanie and beautiful baby girl.

[@CannonMusic05]

Please do these for the whole album… I’ve always loved these videos. It makes me feel even more connected with this song when I know exactly what it’s about. Don’t get me wrong. I enjoy interpreting them in my own ways but it’s just so cool to learn what the lyrics actually mean.

[@jameslukermusic]

So glad you brought these back church🤘🏻

[@Floofy_ferals]

The artist perception that brings the art to fruition is just as important as the art makes others feel. Thank you for sharing your perspective and gift!

[@thecardwellsthejourney8746]

Artistry: Art is Tree 🌲 To have true, good and everlasting artistry, you must have the strong roots, strong trunk, long and strong branches to hold all the weather that life brings. To have a tree that holds, no step can be skipped. Church’s tree is rooted in TN and has been watered by the rainy times, insulated by mud and he has certainly had the sun shine on him throughout his career. He’s simply at a different height than so many of these that are being grown in a “greenhouse” and a dime a dozen these days. It’s not him hating - it’s just him being at a different place in his artistry. Can’t wait to see the flowers all bloom - next level.

[@indigogypsy4265]

Always enjoy your behind the music videos. There is always something I miss in the music and appreciate the lyrics even more once I understand the meanings. Makes the connections with your songs even deeper.

I’m older than you Ryan, and you helped me with some shit in my life tonight! Thank you 🙏 This man is wise beyond his age! 🤙🏻💯

[@danagardner7173]

I don't think you're weird at all, Church, I think you're very wise beyond your years and some people just haven't lived and learned and ascended to the level you're at. Keep doing what you do, and let the rest do their thing at their pace. You're an amazing young man, I am still grateful to my son for turning me into you years back, and I still think you're a great role model for my grandsons. Lil Chicken Willie could find a whole lot worse to admire and look up to and learn from I'm certain of that. Love you, please give our best to Mama Church and y'all have a wonderful Upchurch Holiday.

[@talesfromanoldmanpatoneal6372]

Oh shit Ryan you just hit me in the head with a baseball bat! I'm 59 years old and time does seem like it's flying by. You said if time is flying by you're doing shit you don't like.

Bro, the way you bust down your ingenious lyrics, brings so much light and more depth to your words. I'll be watching all of your lyric explanation videos, and you've got me inspired to do the same. Since most of mine go over a lot of heads as well. Keep on keepin' on bro. I'll be tuning in, without a doubt skin.

This why we love Upchurch the explanation of everything he does and says has meaning and to be able to do that u have to write your own lyrics thank you Bubba.

[@ReactAttack90]

Bubba...Everything you said here has been so much on my mind lately. So many people need to hear this message! Nothing good or bad happens, It's what you chose to do with the data you are given! ourselves are the architect of our own lives. We only have control over ourselves so why invest energy into things you can't control? Use that energy to build your dreams!

Love the behind the lyrics for multiple reasons but mostly adore that I can finish a conversation drenched in negativity (🙄) listen to this and it’s as if it never happened and I just smile. Totally relatable, too much truth here to quote - dear haters, it comes down to this, you either got it naturally or you don’t- that’s the vibe. If I can Rhyme why can’t you?! 😂 Much ❤ Ryan, I 💯 get it. You’re a 😎dude and what you leave behind will definitely traverse through time as a reminder for the generations to come. Pretty Epic 😉😊
