My mother was from Berlin, Germany. “I can hear her now sayin’ she ain’t gonna have it, don’t matter how you feel it only matters how you look.” Can’t tell you how many times I heard “go fix your face”. 🤣 It’s universal!
This has been my life along with many women I know. I'm 58 but from decades ago, "hide your crazy" was a regular non-stop belief. The words "I'm fine" become second nature and roll off your tongue without even thinking about it. It's not a great way to grow up. "Never let them see you cry, never let them see you sweat and never let them see you flinch". It's exhausting.
Thanks. We like to think we're pretty far from the average reactors. We try to look a little deeper into lyrics, meaning, and musical composition. We don't always succeed, but generally, we try. Plus, we're definitely not here to fawn over someone's favorite song. You'll get an honest opinion from us on both the song and the whiskey. Every time. - Keith
Please tell me the male reactors that feel this way, because I haven't found them yet....... Maybe they've been shadow banned?.... but the male reactors I've watched so far tend to agree with Miranda.
Those of us brought up in the 60s and 70s heard this a lot. It was changing between our parents generation and ours. I read a bunch of letters my mom wrote to my Grammy when she was dating my dad. After I stopped laughing I asked why on earth she married him. I always thought she didn't see who he really was and the letters showed that was not true. Her reasoning was it was what I was supposed to do. If you dated for a while then he proposed you got married. Since I've said no to more than one person she obviously taught me different. But I had serious trouble trying to explain why I was terrorizing my neighbors when I moved to CA for college. People really didn't get it when I said that if I went for a walk and didn't smile or say hi to every person who was out in their yard by the time I got back home my mom had already gotten several calls about me being rude and unfriendly. In CA if I said hi they ran inside like I was threatening them. This song is basically about the next generation from my parents where a breakup was a big deal and people got dramatic instead of keeping it private like they were taught.
Yep, I remember in the 80s I was having a $500 custom hoop skirt dress made for prom and had put down the deposit a few days earlier...then I found out my boyfriend had gotten drunk and slept with someone else. I was so embarrassed to go back and tell the ladies to keep my deposit but I couldn't have the dress made because I had decided not to go to prom. (It wasn't my prom) I will never forget how happy those ladies were. They kept saying "we are so proud of you for not putting up with that" and gave me all my money back. It never even crossed my mind to forgive him. It showed what a difference the two generations were.
One of the things I love about Miranda Lambert is she has no problem showing in an 8th strength but she also has no problem saying hey this is me this is who I am and you know it doesn't matter what somebody else says I'm not going to hide it. One song I would love for you guys to listen to Miranda's is The House that built me. Wonderful reaction is always guys.
I've seen the message passed to some many women. Just keep smiling. Don't give anyone cause to gossip. The church I use to attend, I worked part time for a woman whose husband came home and announced he didn't love her, he was leaving her, and he wanted a divorce. She told me she shared with the woman of the church at the monthly women's dinner (thinking she would get some emotional support) and the assistant preacher's wife told her that under no circumstances could she allow him to leave. The lady explained that it wasn't a matter of what she wanted, he wanted to go but this preacher's wife went on and on about finding a way to force him to stay. Period. Make him stay. Because otherwise people would 'talk' about how the marriage failed and how it was usually the wife's fault. When she related the conversation to me, I nearly died. What make it super crazy as the preacher's wife in question had her own issues, namely her three children who were always running wild and getting into trouble she had to try and coverup. It's a sad fact this song is relatable to so many people.
My momma used to tell me something along the lines of this when I was growing up. It used to infuriate me but as an adult I do see where she was coming from. Often when you want to be taken seriously as a woman you can't be "emotional" or you'll be dismissed out of hand. If you're seen as being too angry or upset you'll get called "crazy" and be told to calm down before you're even listened to. I'm not saying it's right, because it absolutely is not, but it has been my experience.
Super fun lol! You guys, this is a KACEY Musgraves song!! Think about it and you will notice the pattern of the cheeky lyrics. Her first job in Nashville was writing songs for other people.
Totally relate…doesn’t matter how you feel…It’s How You Look. Miranda’s parents were P. I.’s in Texas and helped a lot of DV Victims. A few of Miranda’s early songs come from that background-knowledge.
My mom told me not to cry when I announced my third divorce. You’ve done it two times already she said. I then told her I wasn’t crying because I didn’t know how to get divorced, I was crying because I didn’t know how to stay married. She then gave me permission to cry 😂
Hi guys I really am glad y'all released this. Love me some Miranda Lambert. She has a set of lungs on her. My ex mother in law from my first husband was like her momma. Always put makeup on to hide the black eyes and try to not let anyone see your other bruises.
I got that from my mom too. Be a lady and do not let them know what you are really feeling. That is being raised in TX. Needless to say, I have no filter so it did not stick.
Miranda grew up in the same area of Texas that I did and that kind of upbringing is very prevalent throughout the area. My grandmother was very this way. Never let anyone see anything but a smile on your face. I would actually hazard a guess from the 2 songs so far that your theme is something along the lines of having to do with public perception
I tell my kids all the time, it's ok to have emotions. If you're sad and need to cry, cry. If you are angry, say so. If you're happy or want to laugh, laugh. Feel your emotions.
I'm glad to find a guy that actually knows what this is talking about. So many reactions have no clue about the southern women pressure of saving face.
100% the "don't let him see you cry" rule is very common. I was born in '98 and don't consider my parents 'old' so it's pretty astounding when you realize how that old rule has been passed down for so long. I think when I look back at female history, one of the only ways many women had any measure of power is by maintaining face. My own grandmother, born in 1929, was taken away against her own will and "hospitalized" for depression where they straped a mask over her face with a smile on it and forced her to stare at her reflection for 15 minute intrivals "because a proper wife is a happy wife". She had postpartum depression. Yeah. Idk, I just think about that when I listen to this song. How our tears were weaponized against us so the survival strategy of "NO tears infront of men" became so normalized and encouraged as a sign of strength etc. I appreciate that you immediately thought of that little girl.
I’ve got a good suggestion to speak to Keith’s Appalachian roots. Down In The Mine by Dierks Bentley. Second best song about coal mining I’ve ever heard, behind Never Leave Harlan Alive from Patty Loveless, which you guys have done.
Great reaction and I think your correct on the theme. Oddly I like this song, probably because it's my perception of the 'perfect nuclear family' and soooooo not my family. I mean 'hide your crazy?!' 🤣🤣🤣 'start acting like a lady'.. and all I picture in my head with those lines is 2 of my aunts in a knock down drag out fistfight in evening dresses in the center of the dance floor at my grandparents 50th wedding anniversary party. Yep.. we all be holding the matches.
Kind of fitting that this bourbon was a little harsh for 80 proof and this song portrays a woman that is a "little harsh" for her mama's crowd 😉 That mama was straight up my grandma and many of her generation. My Aunt stayed in the little mold and my mama... More than a little bit like Miranda's character here. One of my all time favorite songs.
I wore sweatpants to my daughter’s soccer game last year and my mom and dad both said it means I’ve given up on life. 🤣🤣🤣 Not true, it was just super cold and I could fit two layers of leggings underneath and didn’t want to freeze.
Yay, y’all are the only ones to get her trying to pretend she is ok when she is heartbroken 💔 definitely a southern lady situation, get a grip, hide your crazy, beauty before comfort.. all things I was told as a young southern lady
I am 66 and I can't count the times my father said to me and my brother when we were growing up, "people don't care how you feel, it's how you look that's important". As a result, he raised 2 kids who never gave a rats ass how they or their homes looked.
Hi y'all I recently found your channel and really like the dynamic between you two. I would suggest you check out the following song's. The Ballad of the Green Berets by Staff Sergeant Barry Sadler. Salute to the Nurses by Staff Sergeant Barry Sadler. I would suggest you save this one for 10Nov22 Call a Marine by Toby Keith.
On the opposite side of the coin. When i was doing through a divorce, I DIDN'T want to PUBLICLY fall apart. I was either going to "fight or flight". First i did flight...but i gsthered my strength and i came out fighting hard!!! My child was at stake. BTW, I won my fight!!!
Hopefully neither of the unidentified bottles are mine. You should have two from me as of now. One that came in at or around the same time as the Metallica one, and the one from vine & table a couple days ago.
I did that for years in front of my family , 1 I didn’t want them to kill him and 2 I was ashamed I let it happen. My neighbors however knew exactly because they could hear him screaming inside the house with them inside their house and would text me and ask if she needed to call 911. I get it and I hate i did it. My daughter however, I would not let her go through that and I my even find a big bottle like that to smash his head in lol
I think the key thing here is, you got out. And that takes strength. It's easy for people outside the cycle to waggle their fingers and say "just leave." While it is that simple, it's simultaneously NOT that simple for the victim. Abusers excel at control through a ton of levers (largely guilt and fear) that make it harder than people realize. Anyway, good for you having the strength to get out. - Keith
Great Reaction! I thought it was maybe because it was about the time of her divorce to Blake Shelton. I agree with you as well, I love her bold. I am a recovering alcoholic but that looks so delicious and have a drink on me. Much love from Michigan
G'day boys, love this number, but it hits just a smidge close to home... growing up, that was my ol' lady, "what'll the neighbours say/think", my answer was and still is, "f@#k the neighbours, they don't payin my friggin rent"... We were supposed to have Ms Lambert as the headliner at one of our big country music festivals back in March 2020, before the world went to sh1t, and the whole thing was postponed for 2 & a half years... fingers crossed the show goes ahead this year in September...we won't have Miranda, but we are getting Brad Paisley and Kane Brown, so it'll still be off chops ay... :))
I'm not sure there's anyone on planet earth who cares less what the neighbors think than me. Hell, just to mess with them once, I mowed my lawn on a Saturday night at about 23:00 in night vision. - Keith
@@BourbonCountryReacts that would've been a sight to behold...🤣 we had a neighbour who did weird shit like that too, he was a Vietnam vet and when the moon was right he'd do go on a bit of a ran-tan...one time he was out with a push mower, mowing the bush (heavy scrub) next to his place, in budgies and combat boots with ABC Classical radio blaring,,, he hated classical music but it pissed off one particular bridge troll in the street, so that one was worth it...it was an fun street to live on for the most part, until the day they came with the canvas dinner jacket to take the forward scout away... he was good value most of the time, but when he was on a ran-tan, mate you hunkered down and just let him wear himself out... he's gone to a better place now... he retired to Queensland... 😉
New to the channel, not bad. Would like to see some Cledus T Judd on the channel, can seem to get anyone to react to him. My favorite bourbon is Ancient Age 90 proof. Thanks for any consideration
I really love this song but I'm the opposite of you guys and I guess quite a few on here. I don't like the line about "my mother came from a softer generation..." She actually came from a tougher generation where you were encouraged to Yes, "save a little face", "line your lips and keep 'em closed"...that is definitely not being soft. While I agree you shouldn't have to hide your true feelings about serious issues, we now have the polar opposite issue IMO where we barf our feelings all over Facebook/Instagram or what have you with no filter whatsoever. It's just weird to me, I guess. But I'm also really private with my personal life so maybe it's just extra foreign to me. I roll my eyes at so much of what my FB/IG friends post about, LOL.
There is a line between being a Steel Magnolia, and being emotionally repressed/repressing others. Luckily this sort of "keep the facade in place" pushing is slowly fading as the "younger" (especially Southern) generation has raised and is raising their children. I say younger, but I'm talking about people in their 40-50's. I think this may be why the setting looks very much like 1960's, because this has become/is becoming an outdated thought process.
Yike !! Done. Never, ever, reveal your battle scars or confide in one damned soul about your softer side. Why? Why would any sane man provide the weapon for others to use against him? Men were put here to be the rock and the strong warriors carrying strength and hope, not some weak, touchy, feely, whiny, boo hoo, pity me coward. If a dude starts telling me shit about his "feelings", I'm out of there.
Not sure if its a false image, rather a don't let everyone including the enemy see you at your weakest. Was raised this way, in addition to never depend on a man for support in any way. Can be so tiresome.
I wore sweatpants to my daughter’s soccer game last year and my mom and dad both said it means I’ve given up on life. 🤣🤣🤣 Not true, it was just super cold and I could fit two layers of leggings underneath and didn’t want to freeze.
Love the line "hide your crazy start acting like a lady' it is such a southern thing.

we had a neighbour who did weird shit like that too, he was a Vietnam vet and when the moon was right he'd do go on a bit of a ran-tan...one time he was out with a push mower, mowing the bush (heavy scrub) next to his place, in budgies and combat boots with ABC Classical radio blaring,,, he hated classical music but it pissed off one particular bridge troll in the street, so that one was worth it...it was an fun street to live on for the most part, until the day they came with the canvas dinner jacket to take the forward scout away... he was good value most of the time, but when he was on a ran-tan, mate you hunkered down and just let him wear himself out... he's gone to a better place now...
he retired to Queensland... 😉
36 months = 3 years
A southern girl just grows up with that 😂
I was surprised that neither of you commented on whether you liked this song.
Huh. I guess we didn't realize that. But, for the record, I did like the song. - Keith
Almost all southern mama’s do that
Commander Cody - Hot Rod Lincon
This was my moms advice. She hates when I play her this song.
Recommend listening to Johnny Hortons song called when it's springtime in Alaska it's 40 below
New to the channel, not bad. Would like to see some Cledus T Judd on the channel, can seem to get anyone to react to him. My favorite bourbon is Ancient Age 90 proof. Thanks for any consideration
I really love this song but I'm the opposite of you guys and I guess quite a few on here. I don't like the line about "my mother came from a softer generation..." She actually came from a tougher generation where you were encouraged to Yes, "save a little face", "line your lips and keep 'em closed"...that is definitely not being soft. While I agree you shouldn't have to hide your true feelings about serious issues, we now have the polar opposite issue IMO where we barf our feelings all over Facebook/Instagram or what have you with no filter whatsoever. It's just weird to me, I guess. But I'm also really private with my personal life so maybe it's just extra foreign to me. I roll my eyes at so much of what my FB/IG friends post about, LOL.
I thought it was a jack bottle on first look
36 months=3 years!!! Not 2.5.
Shudda used the crayon. : )
Password hint rocket? Red rocket??? 🤣 🤣 🤣
Hah!
Please do he'll right by blake shelton and trace Adkins
There is a line between being a Steel Magnolia, and being emotionally repressed/repressing others. Luckily this sort of "keep the facade in place" pushing is slowly fading as the "younger" (especially Southern) generation has raised and is raising their children. I say younger, but I'm talking about people in their 40-50's. I think this may be why the setting looks very much like 1960's, because this has become/is becoming an outdated thought process.
Great reaction yall, I was raised hearing all that crap, good thing I am a hard headed old broad and didn't listen.
I sense a theme emerging among our viewers... - Keith
I love this song I really like Miranda Lambert I think she is incredibly talented you need to listen to pistol annies Taking Pills.
I don't know who's bribing you the last couple days... but... I hope the liquor was worth it.
My Mama told me to stop being stupid. When you're a kid what can you do?
ok you guys like women singers try rhonda vincent she is blue grass country wow so good im not over you and so may others look her up
9.99 and not a penny more lol
Yike !! Done. Never, ever, reveal your battle scars or confide in one damned soul about your softer side. Why? Why would any sane man provide the weapon for others to use against him? Men were put here to be the rock and the strong warriors carrying strength and hope, not some weak, touchy, feely, whiny, boo hoo, pity me coward. If a dude starts telling me shit about his "feelings", I'm out of there.
Not sure if its a false image, rather a don't let everyone including the enemy see you at your weakest. Was raised this way, in addition to never depend on a man for support in any way. Can be so tiresome.
ooo, I love that independence thing. My wife is fiercely independent, and I think it's awesome. - Keith
@@BourbonCountryReacts I can tell by the respectful way you speak of her. I've heard my late hubby say some of the same things.
This song pisses me off.
Shitty message, but great music imo.
Sometimes truth does that. But, lots of times we define song quality by making you feel something. "Pissed off" counts, right? - Keith
I wore sweatpants to my daughter’s soccer game last year and my mom and dad both said it means I’ve given up on life. 🤣🤣🤣 Not true, it was just super cold and I could fit two layers of leggings underneath and didn’t want to freeze.
