Mr. Meadows. I'm a United States Marine in recovery and your music has pulled me out of some battles I don't think most would understand. You my friend understand. Thank you. 😊
Thank you for your service and for the compliment. Music is magic.
@@TravismeadowsmusicMusic is indeed magic. And you sir a one hell if a magician.
You make Mississippi and your grandpa proud my man.

Same Same Leatherneck. I’m listening for the first time to this song and tears are rolling down my face. That’s a very cathartic thing as it helps get the sad out. Semper Fidelis, A.
THANK YOU FOR YOUR SERVICE!
It’s hard being alone. To me it’s even harder being alone when you’re with someone that never loved you.
Living alone when you both loved each other and the other person passed away. Second worst feeling I've ever had besides pulling the plug
One of my friends dads showed this to me. I wake up,I go to work for 5 days,drink a 6 pack or a fifth other every Friday,stay home or go fishing on the weekends. I have friends and family but no one ever really bothers to check on me or make plans aside from maybe 2-3 people
It’s a peaceful life, but at what cost? Hearing the line “I don’t know what to do with all this freedom” hurts more than anything. I like my peace and isolation, but lately, it’s really starting to sting
6 years of marriage, 5.5 years post-divorce. Damn, this hits home. It's the kind of pain from an old wound that makes you cathartic, and you don't mind the pain at all. It becomes part of life, and you almost never want it to fade completely.
Keep on writing the stuff that hits deep. We've all been cut deep at some point, and your words just find that spot.
You’re my favorite artist! 💪🏼❤️
I'm not sure what the most insightful song ever written is . . . But I'm sure as I can be that Travis Meadows wrote it. I've never been so emotionally moved by one artist, across multiple songs, as I am by you sir
That is about the best compliment I have gotten. Thank you. You made me smile.
You said that perfectly. Thanks for putting into words who Travis Meadows is for us, certainly for me.
You said that perfectly. Thanks for putting into words who Travis Meadows is for us, certainly for me.
You said it perfectly. This man puts into song, beautifully I might add, what most of us can't. @travismeadowsmusic is God sent.
I just lost my wife , my bestfriend my world . I'm 52 and I've been knowing her since I was 5 . Be in love with her since 4th grade. Cancer got her . She's in Heaven now. I pray i don't wake up in the morning so i can be with her. Life sucks
I play in bars ,restaurants and parties and I have learned some of Travis’s songs like this one, and I play all of them every time I play..I have to bring two guitars so I have one in open G tuning , but it’s well worth it. A lot of people ask me who does the songs he does when l play them. Once they check him out, they are hooked. Get a lot of requests for Travis Meadows songs! I’m not really surprised. He the best singer/ songwriter there is, bar none. Every song is pure gold. I don’t do them justice, but once they know him they even want to hear my mediocre versions. I love you Travis !
I appreciate the kind words. Stay out there and play that music man. It makes a difference in the world. You’re doing awesome.
@@Travismeadowsmusic Hey Travis. You have no idea how much it means to me for you to respond to me. The trouble is, you are all I listen to. I play a lot of your songs and l’ve had so many people ask me who recorded your songs. I tell them, only the best songwriter in the world today who also happens to be one of the best singers out there. I’ve turned so many people on to you. I play Learnin how to live alone, Old Ghosts, What We Ain’t Got, Better Boat, Sideways, Pontiac ( this week’s favorite!) and others. You write and sing with such honesty and you are tremendous technology, it blows my mind. I know you are an avid rewriter. Your sad songs always have that piece of hope and strength that made them even more relatable, sadder and hopeful. You are a gift in a sea of mostly mediocrity in my opinion. Bless you Travis. I love you and I root for you professionally and personally with all my heart. Hope you are doing well. I need you. Richard
Awesome 👏 loved your comment
@@practicerepobarrie Thanks a lot man! I was just about to think all great country music almost extinct until my luck took me this soul savior. And a sliver of hope was returned. Thanks for the nice words. I know you know feel it!
@@RichardHughes15 what does it say about this world that when I search Travis it auto fills Travis Scott but not Travis Meadows?
Nobody knows of him but McDonalds made a meal deal for Travis Scott.
This is one of the most gut wrenching songs I have ever heard. It's a masterpiece at describing life after a divorce.
Fantastic sir. I am 11 yrs in to recovery had my first re-lapse 4 yrs ago (3 since) that day and after listening to your song tonight 15th Dec 2020. It inspired me and wanted you to no that my friend :-) As the saying goes " If you can help even one person?" you have made a difference. Can imagine you have helped many many people with your music. So thank you Travis. Love from Scotland my friend :-)
@stevenfagan90-keep coming back brother, don’t leave before the magic happens.
Wow. This song is ME. Makes me cry. I miss my wife and my son.
I adore you Mr. Meadows. Thanks for bleeding for us.
Well said!!!! Perfect!
Yet another great song from one of the finest songwriters I know.
Wow that hits hard. Wonderful words. So minimal yet they say everything. Thank you 🎸
You are amazing my friend. You hold Country Music in the palm of your hands... Thank you for preserving it.
This might be the best song I've ever heard in my 44 year life.
This may be the best compliment I’ve heard in 57-
Really enjoyed
Stay strong my friend
Talk to God he listens
My god, you just sang my life right now. Nearly word for word. I'm sure you hear it a lot, but please keep doing what you're doing. I've listened to a lot of your songs today after kind of stumbling on you. Your songs, and what you share in them, are a reminder that none of us are alone in whatever we might be going through. Thank you for giving words to what many of us can't.
Sure gonna try
What a Songwriter!
Divorced 15yrs and thought the pain was pretty much gone and now this song breaks my heart but in a very good way. God bless you Travis
This one was hard to right but brought healing with it
I keep coming back to this song. Thanks Travis
My new favorite artist!! OMG He reaches my soul! Keep writing my friend!!
I just love this song. Reminds me of days gone by where I had two kids after one split up with their mother.They are adults now, very productive citizens and reminders that kids need to know they are loved more than anything. This world can be hard to negotiate but love conquers all. Great writing Mr. Meadows. Your lyrics touched me in places that few, if any know exist.
This is 1 of the 1st songs I heard by Travis 2 yrs ago & I have never quite recovered.
This is the first for me after someone dropped Travis name as they way they got to a clip Clay Cook playing ‘Comfortable’ that he wrote with John Mayer when they were starting out.
I’m entranced and will be hearing a lot more of Mr Meadows 🙏🏼🙏🏼
One of the greatest lyrics of all time...
Loving Ashley McBryde for turning me onto your music 🖤
Same. That's how I discovered him too!
It's hard to have faith and believe, that what's breaking your heart now, will turn out to be good for you. Your music is amazing. Would you please pray for me.. for sobriety.. thank you
Great song. Great song writer. Travis, Sometimes the best comes out of what we see as the worst.
Never had addiction issues though I have several friends who did. My alone comes from my wife suddenly dying last year. Love your music. God bless
What a soul moving song. Enjoyed the pickin' and sincere approach
This guy just keeps giving us songs that area meaningful. He does such a great job making connections with people. Keep it up, man.
I still listen to your music. I had the absolute pleasure of meeting you once, when I was with my friend , Kaye. I will always cherish that
I too survived. Your Learning to Live Alone story is almost too familiar but it is such a relief to sense that I am not alone having also had to do so. Peace and warmest blessings Travis. Keep up your wonderful work.
Awesome
I'm the son, man this killed me. Just thinking about all the nights my parents had alone while i was at the other. I'm in shambles right now, such a beautiful song.
Speaks to the common man!! THANK YOU!!!
I wanna apologize for sleeping on such a national treasure! Bless ya Mr. Meadows
Thank you for what you do, Travis. Sincerely. I’m so grateful I stumbled across your music today. I’m also grateful to be able to tell the person who created these songs, you’ve changed my life a little bit today. I really needed this today; and I wouldn’t have realized it otherwise.
Made my day
What a treasure Travis is. I’m proud to call him a friend
Having come upon Travis' songs quite by accident, i can't imagine a day without listening to "Sideways" or "Old Ghosts". He reminds me a little bit of Chris Stapleton, but with an age and wisdom in his voice unlike anyone else. It's a voice that touches your soul, caresses you gently without a care, and lays you down to cry your tears alone. I feel these songs like they were written about my life. They're tender, heartbreaking, touching, just stop killing me already. 😊
First discovered this song 5 years ago. I spent about 2 weeks trying to rediscover it. Thank you Travis ...such a powerful song truly. Big thanks man :)
Keep coming back to this. Just amazing
This song describes me. Been sober year got my 8 year old son to thank that for.
Love Travis Meadows! More, please.
Travis there's something so deep down and spiritual about this song I can't listen to it enough I know I've already sent a comment but a song this heartfelt deserves every single recognition that it has coming. Thank you again for being the person you are and writing the songs that you write.
Thank you. I appreciate you
Taking the time. It means the world.
I'm a blubbering fool right now. damn man hits home
Brilliant. I'm close to tears, so I may not listen again any time soon, but I admire this song beyond words.
Hello Lisa 👋 Simple music can make you sing, a simple hug can make you feel better, simple things can make you happy, I hope my simple hello will make you smile.
Wow! I can’t stop playing this song!!!
Sorry I am late in telling you how amazing your are. I am going through the toughest time of my life currently and my older brother who has stage 4 prostate cancer shared your somehow Sideways with me. I instantly wept. Such truths in your lyrics.
I am very sorry that things are kind of piling up on you at the moment. It will even out. Just keep breathing. Next thing you know you’ll be smiling.
Travis your music speaks to my heart. Divorce is so heartbreaking and you really hit spot on. Also love your “We All Want What We Ain’t Got” hits home for me😪💔❤️🩹
I just ran into your music and I love it so much thank you for a true blessing in music
You are something Travis !!! Heard Cody Johnson's Human tonight, lyrics stopped me, should of known you' had a hand in that. You're a STAR Brother....NUFF SAID
One of my ALL-TIME favorite songs. Touches me in hidden places that I cannot even reach.
CRAZY. I have an 8yo boy. I'm divorced. Alone in my home, I let trash back up, I'm a recovered addict, I'm in bed by 10, I sleep with TV on every word I could have written this. I'm actually a musician and found this looking for inspiration to write a song.
Travis you are ONE OF A KIND BROTHER !! YOU ARE SO INSPIRATIONAL!!! Keep Doing what your’re doing !
You're the real deal brother damn I love everything I hear.
Thank you.
This is such a beautiful song. Please do not ever stop writing Travis!
Came across this from a fellow musicians recommendation. I have 3 small children and travel a lot for work. This is how I feel sometimes missing my family. Beautiful song, reminds you of what is important - family and health.
Thank you my old South Jackson friend. Great song brother. Been there and still doing it🙏
You sir, are a truly brilliant artist! This was the first song of yours I've heard, and I wept like you wouldn't believe. Thank you for the beautiful and meaningful music!
Just WoW! with tears.....
Hey Travis Thank you for sharing your life and thoughts ...thanks
This man is brilliant
Geeeeeeez your songs are amazing
I adore....
we love you in Livingston, montana
I do have a couple of Travis Meadows songs when busking in New Zealand so your name is getting spread around down under as well
Right on
Gd this throws punches. Can't wait to see my boy this weekend. He's 7
great singer songwriter
Unbelievable gift you have Travis
Why does it have to take dying a little to understand? I feel this song. Thanks Travis!
Dang brother...I'm not there anymore, but have you been going thru my mail from 12 years ago? This was my life then. Almost every word. Good, honest stuff!
Wonderful song, it means alot to me right now with what has happened. Thank you and you have a new forever fan!
Listening to your music always connects me with my higher power. Thank you, Travis. Miss seeing you, friend.
Beautiful song!!! 👏👏👏
One of the best songwriters of our era...
I don’t know why I’m just now finding your music but I’m glad I did. You speak from deep within and I have you on replay, simply can’t get enough.
Straight to the heart
Wow. Thank you Travis.
I'm here as Ashley McBryde said she was listening to you on her Instagram so had to see what a legend like her was listening to... so glad i came thats an amazing song look forward to hearing more of your stuff 🙌
I've followed ur story for a long time. Ever since I heard that unique voice. that sings with true depth and meaning. When u sing the pain in ur songs it truly paints the picture of ur beautiful path! 💜 The good the bad the ups and the downs I love your voice absolutely mesmerizing. The rugged look is extremely intoxicating (please don't take that wrong) it just draws you in and that fedora tops it off! don't hide that smile it's pain and beauty you've earned it sir. Thank you for your wonderful words and inspiration! makes me want to sing again.
Thank you.
I know just how this feels. God bless you Travis. Gracias, amigo.
This is absolutely brilliant.
What an amazing talent to put so much truth into a song and make it hit the center of my soul. Blown away. Absolutely Frickin amazing
NO ONE IS EVER PREPARED FOR LIVING ALONE, THERE ARE NO COURSES TO TEACH US.
So true Ron.
It's great, ain't it?
What a great song Travis, it tells a story, which is sad yet inspiring to give one hope because life moves forward and you have to make the best of it.
This is beautiful and eloquent
Wow. I’ve just discovered your music. Its amazing!
Absolutely incredible song ... Bravo Sir !!!!!!!
Would love a hear Travis and Kenny both... Love them both ..go Travis I think your ship just sailed ...your BEAUITFUL
Travis I've commented on this a year or two ago and I'm also a seasoned finger style guitarist and singer songwriter not published but passionate. I've been divorced and alone totally for 18 years and this song is very painful to me. I absolutely believe that this is what's meant in the songwriting business about three chords and the truth. I love all your songs but this one really smacks at my heart. Thank you
I agree. I didn’t know people were ever gonna hear this song. Or any on the killin Uncle Buzzy record. I was just working through some stuff. The only way I know how. I think great songs happen. The minute we try to write a hit. Or wrote something that sounds popular we are already doomed. Just live your life and write about it. Let the songs happen. Give them room to be. And they will.
@@Travismeadowsmusic yes I like the way you say let it happen and I can listen to just about any song and usually only takes a moment and I know if the writer's boss paid him to write it or was it his heart that made him write it. I believe one can only be a true artist and writer when his heart is involved. These so called writers that sit in an apartment all day long writing crappy songs hoping they get a hit have really damaged the art of songwriting and shouldn't even be compared to the real writers like yourself, Kristofferson, Willie, and Dylan to name a few. My dream in life is to have at least one of my songs published and recorded but I'm running out of time. I'm 61 yrs old playing since I was ten and had bypass surgery and other things I've been dealing with and I have not a clue on how to pitch a song. The thumbnail will take you to one of my videos and it's me playing and singing even though I'm not actually in the video. I would love your opinion on it but it's cool if you don't have the time to. Like you I've been thru hell and we have to get it out by writing a song about it. You are such an inspiration to me and I just wanna thank you. You and yours are in my prayers. God Bless You. My name is Tony
Beautiful
Impressive. I just discovered your music and I love it ;-)
I became a fan after seeing you in "The Room" at Boxcars in Clinton. Your music touches my soul..thank you!
Perfect!
Came across a copy of 'Sideways' and just had to hear more. This one truly knocked me sideways (pardon the pun) Started out a song about father and Son, but after the line 'He don't know' this could be about any relationship / breakup. Well, I came at it from the perspective of a Widow, and it hit me like a train. This man has a real gift for a story.
- I originally posted this comment on an earache records posting, but it belongs here.
Thank you
💜💜💜
You are an amazing singer songwriter, sir. Thank you for sharing your many talents
Beautiful song! Your lyrics are so gut wrenching! Great Travis picking in an open tuning?? Open C maybe?? I would love to learn that song on my acoustic guitar. Certainly nowhere near as good as you my friend. Great artistry! ❤👏 Wishing you nothing but Health, Happiness and Love of your Son...Music and your Son is all you need for sense of purpose.
First time hearing your music. This is the real deal . I love your songs. Hits me in the gut and then some. Thanks peace. Dan
Jeeeeez man
Hits the heart and soul. Awesome
