(Poem) Zach Bryan - This Road I Know
ฝัง
- เผยแพร่เมื่อ 29 ต.ค. 2024
- So I love Kerouac and Steinbeck. I am a reader and I love poetry. Everyone always asks how I write such decent songs and it’s because I just write a lot in general.
I’m going out on a limb here and showing y’all some of my real writing.
You can judge it if you want or tell me how you feel about it, just know I’m happy doing it regardless.
Take it easy!
*I took it down for a little bit because I was testing the waters and seeing how people reacted. Wasn’t teasing anyone either, but it took me a lot to post something that wasn’t music.
Just a disclaimer here, the home and the girl at the end is a metaphor for family, or an old friend, or something that took you a long time to find. The dark haired character was inspired by one of Kerouac’s characters, Terry Franco in On The Road. It’s not about the person or the place but what she and it represents. A poem about going home, or going where you feel the most like yourself.*
I am 28. Someone showed me this poem while they crushed up a line of adderal for me. I cried so much i couldnt even do the line. I have been addicted to cocaine for almost 8 years. This past week has opened my eyes to how deep i am in this addiction. I feel as though i have broken through the blindness and i am ready to change. Zach Bryan will be one of the leading factors of my recovery. I am a musician and singer. My goal is to get clean, start doing acoustic sets. And ultimately tell my story. If you read this far, thank you. Please like this so i can be reminded of how i feel today.
Jesus Loves you. ♥
proud of you
🙏🙏🙌
how's it going brother
@manolisliotsakis4607 still struggling. But doing better. I've been doing better at work, taking better care of myself. I still slip every once in a while. But I see things differently now. Thank you so much for commenting. This really is helping me. Bless you
I cried to this and I'm not sure why but I know exactly why.
me too.
Same feeling here
This brings me a sense of familiarity and comfort..A home, A place to be welcomed with open arms. "I don't know where i am, But i know exactly where i am" feels like a place to finally be carefree.. A sense of belonging without worry
Me too
Amen, brother.
Served some time in the Navy with this dude, always had a feeling he would go on to do something special.
Keep on keepin' on, brother - J
You are blessed to meet such a good soul brother appreciate your service 🙏
I appreciate your service thank you for keeping our country safe god bless you
God Bless, thank you both for your service 🇺🇸🇺🇸
Thank you for your Service stay safe brother
Does he have address fan ?
Some men long to have the family they never did, this poem hits me so hard because I know exactly what he’s describing. That family we all long for, that serenity and peace the all of us are missing. I’d trade my life to have someone miss me for once. Thank you Zach Bryan for making music for those of us who are lost but romanticize a good future
To me he's talking about going to Heaven.
I'm only 14 but this man ever since I started listening to him 6 months ago has changed the way I view life and whenever I listen to him I just feel content for once
U said it all fr
Same bro but I’m 15 lol
Same and I’m 33 and his music just speaks to me
Same but I’m 13
Keep the innocence you have for as long as you can.
Your going to be at a music festival one day and that will be a good day for us both. *Update* Its August 12th, 2021 I’m looking at the schedule of the lineups for Bonnaroo music and arts festival. I see Zach Bryan’s name on September 2nd Thursdays lineup at 3pm sharp... I completely overlooked his name on the lineup... he’s last on the list for Thursday, but far underrated. I’ll be there early front row cheering my heart out. Last time I went to this festival Jack Harlow was in the same situation... now look how big of a superstar he has become. His time has come and I’m tearing up knowing I’ll be there to support him considering how much he helped me get through these hard confusing times this last year.
I can’t wait for that day
@@J_dub_________777 Beer in one hand blunt in the other cant beat live music and good friends
The best people, who’s names I’ve never known, I’ve all met at festivals. And I can’t wait until you are one of them. Just screaming Zach Bryan til I can’t, and being carried off cause I’m piss drunk.
Music festival? How about a small bar. c'mon now.
@@TomahawkPursuits small bar is not the same vibe my friend when you get a crowd of 5k or more people you make an awakening within that moment that words can’t explain.
Im a simple man. I see Zach Bryan, I click.
I just really listened to this for the first time. I believe it starts with his journey to Heaven. The house is Heaven, and the woman at the door is his mother. The other people in the house are past family members. It is very deep and can be interpreted many ways I am sure. This is what came to mind when I listened.
My thoughts exactly. "... there's no tomorrow to win."
This really makes sense because when he said the woman put her head between his collar and arm he said but there was no weight or something to that affect. It's BEAUTIFUL anyway that you perceive it.
Exactly what came to my mind too. Gorgeous. Made me love Zach even more
Yep
I like how you think…. To me, it’s a man coming home after a long journey and it’s his house, his wife and his kids..
Love how lines of this turned into lyrics for Something in the Orange
I noticed that too. That’s so awesome!
I bought his album. As soon as I heard this I followed it with somthing in the orange.
yes
way to go, you just made a grown man cry you beautiful bastard
DO THIS MORE OFTEN! This is practically therapy for some of us and you do it so well. You have a gift man. never let anyone corrupt or influence it. Judging by your content and demeanor that will most likely never happen. Stay true man. POWER TO THE ZAC'S lol
Man when he says “a porch, some cars” and his voice cracks up I cry like a baby, because I get this so so much. And it’s so genuine
At camp blue haven 2024 my councelor played this every night before bed, and I didn’t know what it ment at the time, but after camp, for about 3 weeks I still listened, and I learned more and more what it ment to me. Thank you Cade Preston for all that you did for me
I just came home from Camp Cheerio exactly 3 weeks ago. They played it every night when we went out stargazing. They didn’t ever say anything about the song but they didn’t need to. I’m still wondering what the full meaning of this song is but I know that it will come with town. I have learned it and looked at it so I am still searching. It was my last year at that Camp after 9 long years. I grew up at that Camp and hearing that song as I said goodbye warmed my heart more than it ever had before. Thank you Antonio, Sam, Luke, Matt, Behrett, Coleson, Michaux, Jim, and Roark for making my life at Camp the best it could ever be. I will miss ya’ll forever and I will think about you always. It might be goodnight, but it will never go goodbye.
This a poem I wrote called "This Road I Know"
There's this flash I get often, a fever dream or a vision of sorts
Most times late at night
And I haven't found out why, but I know exactly why
I'm on this road, and I hear gravel underneath me, and I feel it too
And I don't know where I am, but I know exactly where I am
It's dark, it's really dark
And the car is warm, but somehow I can feel how cold the night is
I don't know where the road leads, but I know exactly where it ends
You see, I keep driving, and all I see for the longest while is my headlights
For an eternity it seems
And everything is desolate and empty and nothing and hopeless
I'm lost, but I know where I'm going
I'm safe, I'm warm, I'm driving
And I see this small light
A dim one growing bigger and brighter and closer and stronger
And the closer I get, the more I see
I make out a house with light strewn across it, a porch, and cars
Some frosted windshields that hadn't been touched for hours
I hear a song, and it's faint
And I can't make out the name, but I know every word
I feel my feet first
And it's cold, and they're crunching, and it's the sound of driveways
And the wind takes my breath with it
And then I walk up to this door, and I knock even though I feel I don't have to
And I don't know where I am, but I know exactly where I am
And this crack of light widens on this porch underneath me as this door opens
And this brown-haired girl with the brightest smile
I don't know who she is, but I know her so well
And behind her, the warmest home I'd ever seen
It's orange and comfortable, there's fire, and it's bulb-lit
She says
"Where have you been? I've been waiting on you all night
We've missed you"
She says to the kindest smirk I'd seen in so long
Then she tapers off the sentence with the-
With the peaceful sound that a lady makes
She grabs me on the forearms, pulls softly into the dining room
And there's people, and they're happy, and they're content for one
I don't know who they are, but I know exactly who they are
And we're all standing, and I'm laughing at a joke I'll never hear again
I don't know where I am, but I know exactly where I am
And then she tucks her head between my collar as a friend
Between my collar and my jaw, and there's no weight at all
And I don't know where I am, but there's no weight at all
It's laughter and grins and no tomorrow to win
And I don't know where I am, but I know exactly where I am
I don't know where I am, but I know exactly where I am
I don’t know what I feel but I know exactly what I feel.
I don’t know of that was a joke (I’m guessing it was somewhere in between) but quite ironically I feel like that is true for a lot of us
I don't know you, but I know exactly who you are.
Exactly
You, as an artist, are just that. You make art. People listen and interpret individually, and everyone kind of takes the puzzle piece they are missing. That's what makes it so endlessly beautiful. You are so real, and that brings out the realness of the people who get lost in your words. Nothing but respect.
Nice alex kabat
You took the words I didn’t even know I wanted to say right out of my mouth
Yes
I couldn't say it better myself
Zach, I feel so lucky to be front row as you put your art out into the world. It's like I'm getting to see Johnny Cash before anyone knew he was a legend. But everyone knew he was a legend.
I’ve listened to this so many times and I get goosebumps and it just reminds me of going somewhere that you know where all your friends are, and even if you don’t know everyone there, we’re all friends and family through and through.
You're literally a gift to the world that we all need right now.
Part of me wants him to blow up and get millions of fans, but another part of me (the selfish part) wants him to say where he is so I feel special for knowing such an incredible artist that not enough people know.
@@ComedyBros5 same. I feel like him reaching the high level of fame might put pressure on him (and I don't want it to change his music)
I just want him to enjoy his music.
@@toxicbutterspread143 That's exactly right. While there are a select few artists out there that stay true to their roots even after blowing up, the fame always seems to get the best of most folks out there.
Zach really seems to be deeply rooted in his ways, so maybe he could take going viral.
yeah i came to know zach in late 2020 and seeing him blow up just months after i hope that he will stay small just king enough to enjoy
@@ComedyBros5 feel the exact same way and it is selfish of us but i think it’s natrual in an unnatural way
If you were to walk into a room full of everything you’d ever lost, tangible or intangible, what’s the first thing you’d search for? This song says to me…Lost Friends, Lost Love and Lost Peace. All found in one room.
Sometimes I listen to music and I can hear it, but I'm not listening, - usually because it's not worth listening to. I get goosebumps when I listen to Zach's music because I'm forced to listen to every word. This poem is no different. What a brilliant artist he is. If he doesn't tour the world eventually, I want to come to America to see him some day. My favourite artist, sending love from Ireland brother. Best wishes.
Goosebumps every time I click a new song. Or hell in this case poem. I didn’t even really like poems until now. He kills and you explain it perfectly.
Who else wanted to “I wanna hold you tight and Feel your pain because I’m broken and I’m lonesome and I don’t feeel liek I am whole again . “ bad ass poem tho Zach !!!!
We didn't know we needed this, but this is exactly what we needed.
And we know "WHY"
This sounds like day we leave this earth. It's the walk to what your heaven is. It's beautiful.
I just lost both of my grandparents 2 days apart. This poem reminds me of heaven, I just wanna give up and go. Thank you Zach for all the music, from one okie to another.
YOU GOTTA LOVE IT.
But fr tho keep this up I liked the poetry you should release more if you are comfortable with sharing more of it
hes removed this video about two or three times now i got so happy when i saw it again
@UCoC1K2YgDz_Ff7SVTktRUDw for real bro it scared me because I love this piece so much already I've listened to it like 4 times
Yea, he seems to delete things after uploading it. I hope he realizes we love just about everything he does.
It’s 11:30 on a school night but you already know I clicked instantly
People can relate to you. Chills when they hear something that is so real and raw. It is a feeling like no other. The words I have been struggling so hard to find are perfectly written by a stanger but to me no stranger at all.
Most definitely agree ,the struggles are real, and his words so surreal,priceless poem
Hello Paige how are you doing hopefully you are doing good??
It blows me away how wise beyond his years Zach is. I've never seen someone deserve the spotlight more than this guy. He's incredible with painting such vivid pictures with his words!
AMEN!!!!
There's something to poetry that lights a smile,
It gives a sense of a journey, but you haven't walked a mile
You weep and you think, and you ponder and wonder
it's the poems about life that make you grow fonder of
a songwriter's dream to make people happier.
So we thank the singers and writers and thinkers
for their passion in writing and their joy in its impact
cause people are meant to have joy and laughter
so thank you Zach Bryan for this poem
and I pray that you will be blessed forever after.
This poem unlocks a feeling in you that doesn't yet have a name
Thank you for sharing Zach.
My father passed away last month; he would have been 59 on Sunday.
He struggled with addiction and it's ultimately what cut his life short (poor health from using). He had a smile that I will forever see. He loved fishing and camping. I don't know where he is know, but I know exactly where he is.
Absolutely beautiful. The picking you’re doing in the background just adds so much more depth to what you’re saying. I need more of this.
That's what I thought. The poem itself is amazing, but the acoustics just raise it to another level. Reminds me of the acoustics to John Denver's "Christmas for Cowboys."
We definitely need to hear more of these!
Spot on!
It sure does!!!
This is so profoundly beautiful. This is the day I reach life's end of the road and I get to see my daughter again.
This is exactly what I got out of it I thought if god can forgive me this is what I’ll see when it’s all over especially my brown hair girl that I don’t know but know but I know so well will be there
i dont know what it is but as the bad times keep coming in my life this guy always seem to give me hope to drag my ass up and outta the dirt.. so much more than just a artist to so many of us
Thanks man. I felt this deep inside. My dad just passed and I’ve been struggling. Bad. I’ve found a comfort in playing guitar especially your songs. This made me smile and gave me that faint light that I still sometimes can’t see. Thank you -C.C.
I pictured in my mind every second of this. It’s winter, I see a cabin in the woods with a nice driveway, warm light shining through the windows of the cabin. Inside of the cabin, that warm cozy wood look, a seasonal but also year round vibe for a cabin. Maybe a Christmas party, or just a gathering of friends during the winter. People wearing jeans and nice shirts. Tv is on but the volume is so low nobody can hear it over the laughter. Food is sitting there waiting to be eaten, but everyone is busy socializing and enjoying the moment. Black and red plaid blanket draped over a beige couch. A couple of forest green chairs and a wooden coffee table. There’s a dog, a white Labrador, he’s just laying there resting. Sometimes raising his eyes to see what that sudden loud sound was. It’s laughter and people saying welcome. Zach walks through the door, he looks confused but comfortable. He knows everyone there, even though he knows nobody there. He’s been gone for a while with the Navy. He remembers their names and faces, but they’ve all grown and turned into people he no longer knows. They all sit down to eat and reminisce. My vision starts to blur on the sides as the view changes. It’s like I’m a camera, I start going backwards and out the door. The door closes slowly and I’m still going backwards, into the driveway. Down to the road that leads down a mountain. Warm light from the windows fade. The story ends.
Well, I've listened to this every now and then, and I always imagine Heaven. It's been in my head for awhile, I just couldn't shake it. This is how I can imagine coming HOME.
It is my 12 yo son's favorite poem. I thought it was pretty deep for him, but he digs it. Brings me great joy. Thanks, Zach.
I haven’t cried since my dog died in 2018 over 4years ago, but this did it. Much love Zach!!!
I lost my grandma last year. She wrote poetry her whole life this poem resonates with me on such a deep level. Driving to her house knowing I was always welcome. The bright warm home that always had a fire going. The sweetest smile and hug I wish I could go back. But now I have this to help me remember so thank you Zach
This brought me peace when all I felt was chaos. I didn’t know where my road was leading until I saw that small light that grew bigger, and found the girl with the biggest smile staring right back at me. This helped me to find who I used to be, someone I didn’t know but knew so well at the same time. Thank you.
I swear this gets me thinking about my dad, lost him a few years ago. Don't talk about it much, but damn.
This poem reminds me of the parable of the Prodigal Son (Luke 15). Even though I may feel lost in this world at times, I know exactly where I am and where I can go for comfort. Absolutely amazing and this is what makes your music and songwriting so special to me.
I have lost so much working on the road and across the world. Only recently gotten closer to a candle in the dark and how bright it is. Thank you for this poem like so much of your work it truly resonates with me. Keep it up brother... for all of us.
I listened to this this morning and cried. I spent an hour looking for it this afternoon but couldn't find it so I thought it was just a really good dream. Now it's back:)
Zach- this speaks numbers, to me, and I know many others. Your art allows so many to understand and control their feelings, needs, emotions, etc. thank you for your art. Keep up the killer work. “I don’t know where I am, but I know exactly where I am”
this reminds me of going to my step grandmas house on thanksgiving and christmas with my grandpa. her whole family was there and it was an amazing and welcoming home. everyones moved and she spends it a state away now, this brings me right back. thank you Mr. Bryan.
I cant stop listening to this. I don't know where I am but I know exactly where I am speaks so much true emotion. All the true struggle that we face in life and you put them in words and i cant thank you enough. Much love and appreciation from Indiana! 🤘
I have been coming back again & again to this video for the past year. It brings me comfort that I can’t explain.
❤me too
My grandpa passed away yesterday and I have had a particularly hard time with it as he was one of the people I looked up to most in life. For some reason though, when I struggle with that thought I think back to this very poem and I imagine this story as what it is like “seeing the light”. Being so lost and confused, but yet so understanding. A journey that feels so spontaneous but is so orchestrated. The reunion of family and friends and weight of stresses lifted. so much emptiness but yet so full of comfort and peace. I find my own comfort and peace in the thought of this and I hope one day I too will travel my own road that leads me back to him.
This is beautiful, it’s wise, it’s kind yet somewhat sad, but it’s amazing. And getting to hear him read it makes it so much better. You can hear his feelings and every word that he says. I only wish that I was lucky enough to know him before he started to get famous. I just don’t come across too many real people with the real heart and real conscience and feelings in this world anymore. I was beginning to think that I would never meet another one like that or learn of another one like that. Such an old soul. I like to think that I’m a good person and that I love and like to help and feel and give, and I do that all to the best of my ability but I am not perfect and I believe this man would far surpass me if someone were to compare us. I like to think that I have a huge heart and that I brighten peoples lives, but this man has so gotten me beat. It makes me want to strive to be an even better person. I cannot wait to get to hear him in St. Louis with my daughter there beside me before she leaves for the Marines on her birthday. It’s like it was meant to be that way, as well as many other things happening in my life right now before she leaves which leads me to say thank you for your service Zach Bryan, and enjoy where you’re headed you deserve it in so many ways I’m sure. One of these days hopefully we will get to meet you but if not we already know you through your music and you are amazing and I hope that you enjoy every second of all of this that comes toward you. Don’t ever let it change you Like it does so many that are going in the direction that you’re going in. I don’t feel that it will, and I don’t think it’s possible to take the good out of a person that has an old soul Like yours. Keep it up looking forward to hearing many many many more things from you.
This is too good, am I the only one on replay
Your songs and poetry know exactly how to hit me right in my feelings. I am grateful that a human being like you exists
I can’t paint an image and feel the feelings every time he describes something in this poem
I'm a simple man; I don't need much. Just some simple songs by Zach Bryan. And then I find this and I'm hooked
even a poem this man makes art, i don’t even know what good poetry is but i can tell ya, this is gold
You Zach are touching our souls. Your words are therapy. Please never change
I’ve listened to this an embarrassing amount of times at this point - Zach Bryan is an league of his own 🥺🥺🥺🥺🥺
I listen to him every night as I fall asleep.. his voice is just so comforting
I wish ud sing this.....I listen to this on repeat and just weep like a small child
If you close your eyes and really really listen to this, it creates the most awesome little movie. It gave me the strongest feeling that I've never seen the movie but I knew everything that was about to happen.
I first heard this song when I was going through a divorce. I never felt so alone and I just sat there and cried while listening to it. The moment he enters the house and describes how he feels and the warm environment - I wanted that so bad. I can say now that I’m in a much better place and when I listen to this, I look back fondly on my journey. Ironically, I’m now dating a brown haired girl, with the brightest smile. And it all makes sense. Thank you Zach.
Thank you for sharing this.
This is one of my favorite things I have ever heard. When I’m workin on the farm I will put this on repeat in my headphones. It brings so much emotion to me. I truly love this. The way it’s written and the way he reads it makes me feel so much. Thanks Zach. I love your music but this hits just right.
Words don’t explain how familiar this poem is to my soul. I loved every moment of this.
I don't know if you will see this Zach, but thank you. Thank you for helping us thru music, and poems. You speak the words some of us need to hear to help us get up off the dirt and see the bigger picture. I was in tears listening to this the first time. I listen to it every time I need to help me thru the day. Again thank you
Zach, I really want to thank you for this poem. I was in a dark place back in April when a friend of mind decided to leave us (🕊️), and hearing this poem on your album American Heartbreak really brought me back.
Although you have probably heard this a million times, I just want to say that I think you really saved me and a lot of my friends that had to go through that struggle.
This poem made the day a little better this man has words needed to be heard
Started listening to Zach on my first deployment.Thank god for his music.
Sounds like heaven
Always come back to this when I want to clear my mind. Just sitting down a listening to this always just shuts everything else out.
This makes me cry EVERY single time I listen to it .
You have a talent man. I found you about 2 years ago, your music hits me better than anything. I made it a point when my son was born for your music to be the first he heard. ZB on radio all the way home from the hospital. He's 5 months now, every time hes upset and i cant get him to stop crying, I put your music on and we both calm down and listen up. Thanks for all you do Zach!
The way that this poem paints clear pictures in my mind, the girl and the family of my dreams, the warm inviting house I'm coming home to. this is amazing.
Zach, thank you for being the man you are and wearing your heart and emotions on your sleeve. You’ve been given a gift to express what most men can’t and have it reach millions of souls. Every time I hear a song of yours it’s everything I’ve been feeling and wanting to say but don’t know how. Keep it raw and keep it true sir! Thank you for blessing us with this, this morning.
I preordered American Heartbreak and just found this gem. Every time I listened to it I kept going back and forth on the meaning you had behind this. I leaned towards you talking about home but I kept feeling the Lord tugging at my heart. To me this is almost a perfect metaphor of us walking through this life to find heaven at the end.
Zach Bryan uploads- I know it’s automatically gonna be perfect
Dearest Zach.
I'm just going to trust in the universe that you'll find this when you need to. I am just compelled to reach you in some way.
Now I don't know much about writing songs, or playing the guitar. But what I can tell you, is that I write poetry.
Of course my poems are only shared with the pen and notebook I use to capture my chaotic thoughts- and nothing compared to the pure fucking art you practice .
Zach my point is, it's not everyday you come across everything you want to say, but someone else saying it.
I see what you're doing with your music.
These past few months, listening to you sing, watching your music videos and just reveling in the careful construction of your art; has without a doubt saved my fucking life.
I have an insane admiration for how transparent you are with your words. How I wish you could know how beautiful they are. It's quite the thought : You're singing these songs with your own story behind them,
but every single person who ever sings it back to you is singing for a million different reasons.
The art of being a fucking poet and a madman.
Anyway. If you ever find yourself in the loveliest South Africa, do give us a call?
With so much admiration,
Abby.
Been wanting to see zach for a long time now, play along to all of his songs and now im finally getting to see him live the 13th of this month. Words can't explain how excited I am to see him, ,havent been this happy in awhile. Thank you zach for putting out all of youre music, helps people more than you can imagine.
This hit home. Big time. The emotion he puts into it... I don’t know why I had goosebumps but I know exactly why.
Please, please, PLEASE show us more of THIS. Your poetry writing is just as amazing as your songwriting is. We'd love to hear this type of thing so much❤️
Man, I would love to have this on canvas on my wall.
I want to too, I can't find a place that will do it though. I just got a tattoo of this because it brings me so much peace to listen to.
@@sarawhite3360 can I see a pic for ideas
This poem speaks to me more than any other poem and it's just as good as his music
Johnny Cash wrote a lot of poetry too mate, you’ve got a gift. Keep on Expressin’ & Headin’ south 💯
Zach is like our modern Man in Black.
My God, this is beautiful. Makes me cry, it really does it hurts ..... I've been traveling for work in the oil fields... missing family especially my kids missed birthdays and now it lead to a divorced.. @zach bryan thank you... I'm hoping I can make it to see you in goergetown tx....
I cried to this. Zach writes beautifully and is an incredible artist.
Everything he makes hits deep on a personal level for everyone
I have listened to this at least a half dozen times, it’s amazing to hear this and compare it to your music. Keep it up and don’t let anyone stop you from expressing yourself.
Please brother never stop ur music gets me through these hard times man
Beautiful. That’s all I can say. I’m visiting my father right now and we always bond by listening to all your stuff on TH-cam and Apple Music. You’re one of a kind Zach. Keep being great.
Boys it’s only ups from here, the words are only getting better and meaning that much more, mans going from strength to strength, a real artist amidst us.
it is said men find something of their mothers in their wives... it's a pure love they know and the love they know they want for their children. these thoughts circle the drain in my mind when I heard these beautiful words.
i feel ur music n pain ..u help millions with ur music ..u bring light to strangers you dont know with ur music ..its a gift from god ..its fits you well..big fan ..keep doing what u doing ur touching lives
This poem gave me the biggest sense of relief that I definitely needed.
thank you Zach
been listening to you for a couple years now, but i’ve only just found this and it couldn’t have come at a better time. thank you sir. the amount you do for all of us around the world is so so appreciated. we love you, Zach ❤
Literally, everything you post is a banger. God bless Zach
I haven’t cried that hard in years.
Most of the time I don’t know what the heck I’m doing, but I know I want to go home. This poem shook me to the core. Thank you for that.
The home of our heart changes over the years but always stays just where it is ... Right here
Reminds me of late 80s early 90s Johnny Cash. Really comforting for some reason.
That's the vibe I've always gotten from Zach's stuff. He's like our modern Man in Black!
Thank you for personal risk you took. I’m not much for writing and when I do it’s just for me, I can’t imagine sharing the things I’ve written. What I can do is appreciate the bravery it took for you to share yours. Also it’s pretty damn good if you ask me and I’d love to hear more.
Awesome realness
Playing this at my sons memorial this weekend. reminds me so much of him. he was only 19 years old.
