I feel like the film was a ‘dream’ the father had, in that he envisioned his son being a prodigy so he made the ‘bet’ only to find out at the end he lost the first game, so his hopeful vision was wrong. I feel like it’s showing how betting can lead you close to death

[@forcemajeur.5138]

he was winning bets and his dad was using him. He had it the last shot looked at his dad, as he was a grown man at that point, and deliberately put the 8 ball in the wrong pocket to lose, look at him looking at MM right before and the facial interaction after.

[@MegaCabMorris]

Wow! Great story. Love how he got older and dad had the same outfit on the whole time like he would never change. Then boom, it was all the same night. Really drove home the point of the kid growing up fast.

Is that what it was? I thought the end, with him carrying the kid, was to show that he'll always be his little boy.

@Rott04 it could be that too. I just see it like the kid grew up alot in that one night.

I was thinking it showed that the Dad never changed. Like getting beat up was a recurring event. The boy also looked like his dad's behavior was unsurprising, like he'd seen it happen many times before.

The last transition broke me into tears man. Being a young father (i'm 28 now) of another young boy who's 4 at this moment, having so many faults myself, having to go through so many battles as a man, taking punches that life gives you, sharing custody with his mom, realizing how time flew right by my ear in a blink of an eye.

Zach Bryan has an unparalleled talent for crafting songs that pack such depth and emotion that they could easily be adapted into full-length films. Witnessing Tye Sheridan in the music video was a treat, but having McConaughey on board was truly unexpected! Zach's ascent into the big leagues feels inevitable, if not already achieved!

[@jonathanhughes8679]

This was me and my stepfather. After mother passed we lived our life like this. I had no family and nether did he, but we had each other and taught me how to start shooting pool at 8 years old. Never Trade those days. Others probably had more stable lives but none of them could walk into a bar and walkout with a grand in his pocket. I can always feed myself and got a little cash in my pocket. He taught me to survive, Hunt, Fish and build anything with my 2 hands.. Yours teach you how to survive on your own? He passed at 76 raising a son he didn’t have to. The best man I ever knew, he just didn’t know how to be anything but what he was….

[@michaeljmckinnon]

It reminds me of my friend Adam from Sand Point Idaho. He got a scholarship to the Art Institute of Chicago. Didn’t have any money so as a teenager in the 90’s he sold ecstasy out of a bar on the south side. I met him in his 40’s. He was a chef and we would hang out after a restaurant shift at the local. I once asked him how he got so good at pool, and he told me it was just when he was killing time in Chicago waiting for his beeper to go off. He was a good chef and a shark on the pool table. But he was an awesome painter. He would go home and paint after the bars late into the night, and somehow still find the energy to go prep at the restaurant the next day. And he was a real honest dude. He passed away in Denver in 2021. I love you, Adam. 🙏

“I don't wanna bet but my father wrote a check that I bet his ass could never cash.” this song speaks to me on a different level. my father was an addict/alcoholic and was never really a father to me because he was so absorbed in his drug of choice and his old habits. all i ever wanted was a father and to do all the things we did before he fell hard into addiction and gave into his demons. “He'll probably die nothing, but this town's overdrunkard and die on a smoke-stained stool," i felt that way every day. he passed away in October of last year to a drug overdose, i made a promise to myself to heal and to be the person he unfortunately couldn’t be for me. “my father was a bettin’ man, but i got myself a steady hand.” he gambled his life every day until his luck ran out, but i’ll always have my steady hand and a good head on my shoulders. music is what you make of it and Zach Bryan has spoken to me in ways many artists haven’t before.

It's not quit the same as going in. Noticed the change of music and Matthew's face. His son became just his little boy again after he lost the game. The father still carries his injury and his face is not happy. Another thing to note is that they didn't make him look older as he aged; he remained the same throughout the entire video. Brings to question the feel good emotions at the beginning. Was it father and son time or was his son just a tool for him?

[@denvrnugfan03]

Same

[@QuenchGames]

@@fortyninehike I think the answer is in what you said. Think it started out as father and son time, but over time it turned into something else. But the dad didn't lose the love for his son, its just that his focus got shifted. The son lost the game on purpose at the end because he was angry at his father. Well, not angry at his father, but angry at the greed that has taken his fathers love from him. Basically, he misses his dad. But after the fight the dad realizes his mistake, turns from his greed, and chooses his son over his ego. Their relationship is restored. Pretty cool video.

every single time I play this song my stomach tightens extremely hard and I can’t help but to cry thank you too my father for keeping me under his wing my whole life

[@serhiybutyaga7000]

Gonna send this song for my dad on Father's Day! Greetings from Ukraine!

[@darquise92]

I gasped at the last scene and now I'm gonna have to go to bed all teary-eyed. Beautiful, heartbreaking music video, well done. This is exactly what good music and film-making is, straight from the heart.

[@illegaltherapy]

love how this relates to so many even in different situations. We all have that one loved one, that we can't help, but feed into their bad habits in efforts to connect with them. Zach's the goat

[@Shitgolfer69]

What a great way to put!

[@todydn]

The craziest part is alot of people are gonna see themselves in both the kid and the dad we all have that one bht alot of us we are also that one at the same time the blind leading the sick

[@alono9939]

Man.... THAT was the best music video of all time. What a next level performance. It felt like we were just delivered a full movie in 3 minutes. Great job capturing the emotion with that end scene. what an amazing video, truly.

[@TheIanderthal]

I love the symbolism that the father doesn’t change once when the boy’s growing up.

[@crysshaver6073]

I screamed Tye when I saw him! How cool to see Matthew and Tye together again! Bloody brilliant!!!! #mud

[@DarianPuckett]

From the story to the casting, it doesn't get better than this!

[@MamoswineMain]

This has to be one of my favorite music videos of all time. Love the storytelling!

[@seanpark7709]

3 minute story of two lives- that’s pure. Wonderful 🙏

[@LHA234]

This should be a movie

[@williamdunnagan3916]

Not sure why, but that last shot had me bawling like an infant. Love your storytelling, Zach.

[@ShelbyCurrent]

Same 😭😭😭

[@jondontv5416]

beautiful song and story telling. absolute chills watching as it gave me so much memory of my dad and uncle husting the pool table while i sat, studied, and looked up to their 9 ball ways.

A legendary music video for a legendary song, thank you Zach

[@TylerAHall]

This song and video had me crying. Just made me realize how many good times I have with him and how I always got his back.

[@livetoskateaz1]

Unbelievable video. Three minutes felt like an entire hour! Way to capture the essence of this song Matthew McConaughey

[@virdi1992]

Lyrics, Visuals, Acting and Storyline is sensational on this one. What a beautiful,. touching, thought provoking masterpiece. Really enjoyed it.

[@Elsie-p7d]

Zach you don’t know how much you have changed my life. I love you and your music so much! I relate to your music much. You are literally the reason I am who I am to day. Btw This is my favorite music video! Love you❤

[@BryceTibbitts]

Goose bumps when McConaughey walked out with the boy at the end. As a father with my father’s vices trying to break our generational curse that hits home.

[@_alexkane_]

Oh so his dad did that to him but Matthew didn’t do it to his son is that what that was about

[@alejandroalvarez7377]

Why was he a kid again

[@_alexkane_]

@@alejandroalvarez7377 in the end it shows Matthew carrying his son out when his son is a little boy. So I wondering if the character Matthew plays had a dad that would do that to him but Matthew didn’t do it to his son

[@gobdav]

@@_alexkane_ The dad is still the same dad throughout the night. He's beat up and bloody at the end, despite the son's child and adult versions showing. It's the son who changes in the course of a night. He has to grow up fast in that environment. The dad, even though he plays fast/loose, remains loyal to his son throughout. The son rebels, causes the fight, then finds/protects dad in the end. "That's my boy." Notice that during the fight Ty Sherridan's character throws an awkward punch, but when he's moving through the crowd the adults avoid him. It's because he's a child. It's a song and video about the bond between father/son, despite both of their flaws.

[@_alexkane_]

@@gobdav thank you so much for explaining that. that’s what I thought it was about but then the end got me so confused so I thought I was missing something there. I appreciate you taking the time to explain that to me.

[@AlwaysCrazyKindaLazy]

I must be a glutton for punishment…and talent. Zach Bryan, McConaughey and Sheridan just ripped my heart out with a music video and I’m hitting replay. Sending love from this Texas girl to everyone involved in the making of this. I hope it’s adapted into a movie. I’d pay to see it.

[@shelbycurrent7835]

You are not alone. I am sitting here on my couch with this blasting on my tv... probably replayed 20 times. My neighbors probably think I'm nuts lol its also reduced me to tears several times... I need this to be a movie

[@2006matthewwrx]

Zach, you're becoming one of the greats one song at a time brother! Keep rocking brother!

[@isaachart4]

You know it’s a good day when a new Zach video drops!

[@hunterkautzer5831]

That is so true i clicked so fast when i saw it pop up

[@amandacole9060]

Same!

[@angelaperrin5909]

This video is a triple love for me! Love Zac,love Matthew and love that my buddy Chris is behind the bar in this!! WOOT

[@RomanHardin]

I gotta say the song is great but I’m always amazed at how well Matthew McConaughey embodies a character. Even without dialogue. If you grew up going to dark dusty pool halls you’ve met exactly that dude

[@classicrocksongs03]

Hey you, who stopped to read my comment, never give up, go ahead, fight for your dreams, things will come better for you, I wish you every success

[@joeydf28]

Zach has such a gift. Truth is at the root of his lyrics.

[@ExSheen]

Absolutely awesome video! Makes me remember my dad picking me up from school to go play pool, Shirley temple beating all the old guys who thought they were good at pool. Wouldn’t trade it for the world. Thanks for bringing back the memories Zach

[@laura79blue]

I love that there's room for interpretation in the video. A whole story with all the feels in just a few minutes...this is is what creativity is all about!!! 👏👏👏

[@miked9851]

FATHER OF TWO, THIS HIT ME HARD .........MY FATHER WAS A DRINKER AND I PROMISED MYSELF NEVER TO GO DOWN THAT ROAD BUT HE SURE DID TEACH ME TO BE TOUGH. LOVE YOU OLD MAN.

[@MarkSoliz-oh7rb]

I don’t know what’s better, the song or video…but together, it’s blissful synergy 🙌🏼

[@MikessWrlddd]

I may not know my real dad, but when I was 16 my friends dad took me in like one of their own, all the nights we have drank together since then, and just appreciating everything he’s done for me and seeing the great man he is! It will always make me be different when I have my own kids, a lot of people don’t cheris their lives and I think we all should a little more!

[@fredricktausch7131]

Zach Bryan knows how to hit a man in the feels!

[@biancasmiles3350]

I swear Zach Bryan knows how to tell a story!!!

[@holliebeeler8161]

He sure does.

[@franciecunningham8320]

I heard this song many times. Loved it!! Then saw the video. It’s like a mini movie. There is so much packed into this 3 minute video!!!!

[@everettmartinez4423]

No way! Where have I been where I hadn't this music video yet? This is straight up a trailer, if not a spoiler, to a great pool shark movie. I'm thinking a southern flavored Pool Hall Junkie/Color of Money retelling or interpretation. I love this guy named Zach Bryan!

[@hsalas91]

The scene where he walks out of the bar carrying his son asleep, brought tears to my eyes. That was me when I was younger, my dad was a drunk and mom would send me in the bar to call him out. He would tell me wait at the bar and get a coke.

[@Samjay724]

Awe that ending scene got me, holding his baby leaving the bar
