Adeem kills it every damn time. A songwriter with conviction and intention! Playing live with them is one of the best shows I think I’ve ever gotten to do.
@AdeemtheArtist I played this in the car a few weeks ago and I looked over at my husband and he had tears streaming down. He said music like this makes people less alone and he is right. ❤❤❤
As a daughter of a drafted Vietnam Vet …… growing up that war bled alllllll over my childhood. This song helps heal a daughter and opens her eyes to a boy that turned into a man I didn’t understand….❤ Adeem I hope I get to thank u some day
Totally blown away by this performance/song/person. But from 2:38 on, holy shit. That might be one of the most impactful verses I’ve heard in any song ever. Wow
As a young man paying for my college with work and comming from a home with first time college graduates, I appreciate the work and dedication towards education and care people put themselves through to overcome class barriers !!! Long live the workers!
Tom T Hall wrote "Hero In Harlan, John Prine wrote "Sam Stone", Eric Bogle wrote "The Band Played Waltzing Matilda"......Adeem wrote "Middle of a Heart" and it stands equally with the previous 3.....so very good. Adeem you slay me.....and WAF...for a trad country lover in far off Australia, please keep giving us these vids. ❤
I love how someone writes a beautiful song about depression and veteran suicide, something that people claim to give a shit about, and all they can notice is how the artist dresses.
He is rough on the eyes, you have to admit. However, I respect that he is not trying to pretend to be an ACTUAL woman. He is an old fashioned homosexual who likes to dress with feminine touches. That's fine. The problems come when people try to pretend that they are actually the opposite gender and they BELIEVE they have magically transformed.
@@elmoblatch9787I mean it’s different for sure, and we have at least 100,000 years as a species where it was never an issue, so I hear you, but is it really a “problem”? Don’t understand why it bothers people so much who don’t have to change a single thing about how they organize their lives re: the issue
@elmoblatch9787 most of the way you are is made up and drastically different from how men acted even 20 years prior to your birth. Your reality was given to you by forces you did not choose and now you judge people for challenging the silliness of that reality
Everytime i see this performed i wonder how you somehow put more feeling into it! Such a beautiful song and sung so well! You are loved. You are treasured.
We love Adeem! Missed my chance to see them at Duke’s in Indy and I’ve regretted it ever since lol, but I’ll get back to one of their shows eventually and I can’t wait!
@@jaredweiman2987 WHY do you care? What possible effect can it have on your life? What does it have to do with the quality of the song? It must be exhausting always having to decide whether or not you can let yourself like something for reasons that have nothing to do with the quality of the work.
@@jaredweiman2987 They aren’t covering Waylon. They are unique, performing an outstanding country song. What else matters? If you heard it on the radio, we wouldn’t be having this discussion at all. 🌈🇺🇸

Willi you're a LEGEND
You make good music Willi.
Love you, buddy, & I feel the same

Incredible
I don't have the right words. Chills, tears, sorrow, and somehow hope. Adeem is truly an artist in every sense of the word!
One of the best voices in country and western today in more ways than one.
One of the greatest pieces of songwriting history. This song puts a bullet through the middle of my heart.
Haha lemme have a hit of that!
I’m totally obsessed with this song
Absolutely incredible song, with some of the best songwriting in a long time. Powerful song by an outstanding artist.
Just when I thought music has lost its Heart. This song hit me like a Bullet.
As a daughter of a drafted Vietnam Vet …… growing up that war bled alllllll over my childhood. This song helps heal a daughter and opens her eyes to a boy that turned into a man I didn’t understand….❤ Adeem I hope I get to thank u some day
Bloody hell, this is so touching and so perfect! Thank's for sharing this gem with the world! Would love to see you live
Opened for Isbell in Woodenville, WA, great show and that's my favorite Prine song (Lake Marie) as well.
Absolutely incredible
Great song truly felt
Totally blown away by this performance/song/person. But from 2:38 on, holy shit. That might be one of the most impactful verses I’ve heard in any song ever. Wow
Incredible songwriting👏 true to their word, adeem’s an ARTIST

Because college is some grand adventure.
a beautiful song about life's deepest challenges and complexities.
Western AF, Thanks for the introduction! Straight to my 'New Country' Playlist
Damn, Killin it as usual. Can’t wait to see Adeem again when they come to town!!!!
They have such a masterful control of this melody and the lyrical complexity. I am glad to hear it.
@@peterwilliams2858 if you get the chance see them live. They are so charming.
Quality American music right here.. excellent.
Great songwriting!
This song leveled me and I keep coming back. Thank you.
Holy shit that the most beautiful thing I've heard in a long time
Why do you want to make me cry like that?
Adeem knows the stuff

Thank you! Cheers!
Out of this world good.
❤❤❤ Thank you. Beautiful. The whole album is amazing, moving, and true. This is my favorite Western AF yet!
This shit rules. Compost all the haters.
Yeah dawg.. there you are.
Love Adeem so much.
I can't stop listening to this. It's like a lost track from Springsteen's "Nebraska" album.

Seems you have made it half way to understanding, there is hope you can come the entire way someday. Amazing artist is all I see here.
First time hearing this guy, already hooked. Crushed it!
Don't judge a book by its cover, folks. That there is some of the finest country music ever played.
No. Not even close.
Let’s go viral
This is awesome!
Amazing song all while being dressed up like a southern auntie at a bbq 😂
I was surprised too. His vocal range is almost where i tap out but he aint too shabby.
I usually don't feel my spine tingle when I listen to a song. But I do now.
beautiful song
Everytime i see this performed i wonder how you somehow put more feeling into it! Such a beautiful song and sung so well!
You are loved. You are treasured.
Damn this is beautiful
Wow ❤
I have no words, so I’ll comment with emojis ❤❤❤❤❤❤❤
So good
Amazing.
Great song, great album too ❤
Hot damn this is spectacular
Adeem the GOAT
Amazing writing
Cheers!
Wow....what a great song. My first introduction to Adeem.
Damn fine music!🙏🎸
Excellent! Many thanks
Epic! Love from Sweden 💜
I’m stunned
Super good
At this moment, this song has been up for one minute, shows one view and two likes, (one mine)! Great writing. I'll watch for more from you for sure!
Check out their albums. They’re great.
Wow, man
I love it
Well damn, I can’t even… 😢 so fucking great

Newport, KY in October. Not too far from Indy.
@@kilo-watt oh snap bless up, thank you for the heads up!
Brother this is amazing
There's a saying about judging book covers that hit me like a bullet through the heart once I watched this video. Incredible writing and music.
Adeem rocks dude
What a fuckin song
Holy shit this song hits home
Holy smokes bud you got it don't forger it
Holy fuck. Excellent song
Elton John Dutton
😂😂
Holy shit
Well I wasn’t expecting that
Y'all quit whining down there. Who cares what gender they identify as. All I care is that they can sing.
I care. And this ain't how Waylon done it.

@@jaredweiman2987its how john prine and Steve Goodman did it, the guys that wrote never called me by my name and wrote great country folk stuff
👍🌈💜🇺🇸

😮
i would let them babysit my kids, they seem nice

New bud light spokesperson
It looks like a them/they
Good song
....the earings are distracting but good song
What in the brokeback mountain? A disappointment to the country music name
It’s about the MUSIC. I thought we were supposed to judge the quality of sound with our ears. Maybe that’s just too simple a notion for some. 🤔🌈🇺🇸
God, I wish Putin ruled the U.S.
Yeah I’m not with this shit
If you heard this song on the radio, you’d be an instant fan. It’s about the SONG.
@@DianeLee999 I don’t care if he was Johnny cash I’m not with it
Don't front. You ain't gotta lie to kick it, boo.
Everything this guy does is the same and just replicates what others done before him. Another NPR folk singer. Yawnnnn

Ok I’m out
Take a hike 😂
