Can you believe this man is my Son!! I listen to the words and made me cry from joy and from how proud I am of my son, Stephen. You have no more to prove my son, you are a winner!!!
When I heard this song on Billions I was less focused on the dialogues (no disrespect to the scene. It was awesome) and more focused on the lyrics of the song so that I can search the song and listen to it. What an absolute masterpiece!
Thankfully The great sound engineer masterfully wove the lyrics between the dialogue in the show. “The snake will crawl the earth to shed its skin…” oh boy. Chilling
Hey Stephen, You'll probably never read this. But, I just wanted to tell you that you're helping me through a very hard time right now. You make me lay in my bed and cry while thinking about all the things I have to be grateful for instead of ending it all. Someday I'll be the toughest guy in town again. Thanks for the songs. Jarvis.
I know how you feel. I was a horse here in my town. I worked hard at being fit in my daily job as a logger and lumber mill owner and some say that I was the strongest person they ever knew. I sure do miss them days now at 70 yrs old. Sometimes it gets very hard to go on.
Jesus Christ... I just bumped into a solid wall of talent here... I was researching a bit on this guy because of his wife and his playing of God gave me horses... I'm so thankful I landed here... This is raw, pure talent!!!!!!!!!!!!!
@@StephenWilsonJr we seen you last night in Shawnee OK. Never heard of u before. But I have listened to u since last night, and you are AMAZING!!! Can't wait to here more from you.!! 💗💯
@@susianfrunk3869 I can’t believe I didn’t find out about him until after he played in Shawnee!! That’s just a short drive from Pittsburg County ! Maybe he’ll come back there or to Cain’s Ballroom soon !!
@@StephenWilsonJr I just discovered you. by accident .. I've listened to your album 3 times now. I'm 42. done a lot of damage in life haven't smoked weed since 9/6 tomorrow is 30 days sober therapy begins 10/8. your music is medicine. you sir are truly a born legend. thank you.. all I can say. ❤
Fentanyl really messed me up, here I am, the day after my birthday I started to fill sick to my stomach about me being in this situation for so long. Today 9-16-23 I’m putting my faith in myself to finally get thru this bump in my road, opioids already ruined my childhood, don’t want them anywhere near from me, thank you , my only god, protect me and my brother down here and please hope my dads up there drinking a bush in lawn chair singing jimmy buffet, god bless -Julian James Bourguet
THIS is the best Country music I’ve ever heard. I never listen to country. I prefer folk and old “country” but wow man. Wow. You pretty much made a new genre of its own with this and 94.
Apparently I’m 4 years late in discovering the badassery of SWJr., but I got here as soon as I could. Every once in a while when I’m getting bored with music, I discover (for myself) a Sturgill Simpson, Tyler Childers, Sierra Ferrell, Hayes Carll and now SWJr. Thank you.
This guy should be a HUGE music star! So much talent. Been on a binge of his music (a friend shared this video on Facebook last night). Consider me a new big fan.
Just when I think your music can’t get any better, it does. This is probably, absolutely the best song and video I’ve ever seen and listen to in all of my life. All of your songs I can truly relate to and harmonize with. Your talent is unmatched. Your writing, your voice and guitar playing is just absolutely insane. I believe in everything happening for a reason, even though sometimes it’s hard to accept. But, your music came into my life at the right time and I am thankful. I don’t wanna sound like a nut but I believe your music is truly saving my life. No other artist should ever play or sing your songs. I can’t thank you enough! - God Bless 📿
Amazing, heartfelt, powerhouse song about the times we live in. The reality, the theology, and the reach to the conscience of every person who knows “things just aren’t right” is sublime. Keep making these songs.
Great song. Great video. What a storyteller this man is. That walk while he uses his hands to express what he’s saying is absolutely brilliant! This guy is unreal!
Its refreshing to hear some authentic, outlaw country music for a change as opposed to the country pop were getting at the moment. This man is authetic, raw and super talented
He reminds me so much of the Iconic Bruce Springsting style. So relatable and connected to the average middle class in your lyrics. Keep up with this style of music...love it. 👍🙏
I can’t get over how good of a songwriter this man is. I feel like he was a fly on the wall in every aspect of my life and just decided to write about it. I sure I’m not the only one that can relate like this. A very profound writer who encapsulates how we grew up. He’s definitely my new favorite by a long shot. People that say people don’t write good music anymore just hasn’t heard this man yet.
This guy is steady growing on my musical soul. First song I heard was 🌜🌜1994🌛🌛 I think it's called and I've never related more to a song than that one. I was supposed to graduate in 94/95 got GED in 96 anyways that was the absolute hands down best time of my life and that song took me right back to that sacred and beloved era. The other 2 or 3 songs I've heard of his have been awesome also I'm looking forward to checking all of this guys music out. Keep doing what you are doing brother - you are knocking them out of the park. Much respect 💯✌️💚🍀🌎🍻
Stephen, your music is FANTASTIC! I'm telling everyone to listen to you! As a PT songwriter myself, your song lyrics are BREATH-TAKING!!! You're helping so many people with your music and your message. May God bless every step that you take. Never give up. "Goonies, never say die."
At a time in my life when I was in a dark place , along came YOU .. seriously.ypu have changed my life , made me feel joy again , and I thank you Sir Wilson , I'm blessed to have heard you ! ❤❤❤
SERIOUSLY UNDERRATED ARTIST!!! IF YOU WANT MUSIC THAT TOUCHES YOU WHERE YOU THOUGHT WAS BURNED OUT! THEN LISTEN TO THIS MAN. YOU WILL LOVE ALL❤❤❤❤❤🤘🤘🤘🤘 KEEP ROCKING STEPHEN YOU ARE LEGENDARY 😍
Was Watching Billions S7 E4 and Stopped and paused the show. Just to replay it back so my phone could capture it and tell me what it is! Mesmerizing!! and Accurate. In his voice , I could hear Johnny Cash! , John Denver and Gregory Alan Isakov! All at once delivering a message! Mark my words, This song will go Viral! *Taylor Sheridan! Here is your next song for Yellowstone!!*
Another brilliant masterpiece of Americana Country Folk mucic at it finest level. Thank you so much Stephen !! From Steven in America's Dairyland Wi. ! Keep Twanging !
I was scrolling through and came across you playing on TikTok you have a great sound I love your guitar picking and rhythm don’t let the big labels eat you up stay true to who you are 👍
I can’t get enough of this song. I randomly just found it! Are you on IG so I can see if there is any tour updates and what nots? Goosebumps.... so so so good!
Why isn't he one of the greatest ever around I've listened to his music for a while now and all his songs are just gold f****** gold I would love to see him in concert does anybody know when he's performing next where
Emisunshine on TH-cam brought me here, when I saw her cover this song on Instagram. I was like 😮 I'm Glad she did , I asked her who is the original artist and songwriter. And she gave me your name. This song is as real and Raw as Oliver Anthony's song. 👍❤️👍 Keep up the great songwriting. I'm now a huge fan!! 😎
This song I found when searching “what song is about a nice man being the devil.” And this one video made me stop and notice. This young man has a message.
I dont know you but first off, I am truly sorry for your loss of your Father. Second, I just want to say thankyou for your music. Your music is bringing hope and light into a dark as hell world. Truly, you are incredibly talented and your music is pure, real, and powerful. You are already in our hearts. Keep it up man, we need you.
Can you believe this man is my Son!! I listen to the words and made me cry from joy and from how proud I am of my son, Stephen. You have no more to prove my son, you are a winner!!!
We are so very happy to have your son to make our ears happy! He is truly talented.
You should be so proud. This man has so much to say, and I’ll be listening close ❤️
Music from the soul for souls...be proud
Well we appreciate you bringing in this wonderful soul ma’am
What a beautiful comment from a momma. God bless you
The fact that this dude ain't topping the charts says all you need to know about the state of modern country.
i don't know how people don't get tired of the current kind of country style songs.
Judging from the sold out show if his I attended last weekend, I have a feeling that is going to be changing pretty soon...
@@supaax1 I HOPE so, he deserves some real recognition!!! The voice, the lyrics.... genius!!!

I know. I heard this and was like DAMN THATS AN AWESOME SONG!!
Heard this wonderful song on Billions S7E4. How did I miss it for these years? So powerful. Every success to you sir.
same, i heard the lyrics and i had to look this up
Same experience and reaction as me. I hope so many more experience it.
SAME!
I see we all in this thread have a connection: Billions!!! Music is surely a Universal Language.
Hey Stephen,

You make me lay in my bed and cry while thinking about all the things I have to be grateful for instead of ending it all. Someday I'll be the toughest guy in town again. Thanks for the songs.

I’m glad the music is helping you, Jarvis. Take care of yourself and I’m thankful you’re here & for the comment. Hang in there. 🖤SWJr.
@@StephenWilsonJr awesome song !! Loving all your stuff!
❤
Jarvis, I hope you won my friend. I’m glad you wrote this. We’re all human. We can be tougher together

What do you mean 'playing of God '?
@@ImmortalExplorer
Playing as in performing the song “God Gave Me Horses”
Sorry I’m listening again and I can’t help but think about how proud your dad must be watching you from heaven! 🥰
Ashley Bowen I do miss him so much, especially today. Thank you again for all your kind words.

There will always be ditch diggers or in this era fentanyl actics. Blaming pharmacy or government is like blaming annheiser busch
I had a feeling id see my fellow Billions enthusiasts pop up here. Beautiful song!
Billions is pretty good, but its WOKE propaganda ruins it.....
This man deserves so much more recognition
This is the best song to come out of Nashville in many years!!!! Refreshing...
Well done brother.
Keep on Listening
check out his new album that came out last week. good shit
I found this song and this man, Stephen Wilson, today!
Tears of joy for this discovery !!
Thankyou BILLIONS season 7 ep. 4
I absolutely love the clear grunge and 90s influence on midwest folk americana sound, it's incredible,
Yes! Stephen is phenomenal!

I heard this song in Billions.
I am playing it over an over .
Such a great song.
Thank you Billions!
Thanks to Billions for introducing this to me. 🙂🙂🙂
This guy should be a HUGE music star! So much talent. Been on a binge of his music (a friend shared this video on Facebook last night). Consider me a new big fan.
Rick Johnson 100% agree
I doubt he wants to be, the same as Oliver Anthony. These guys aren't about selling their souls.
Just when I think your music can’t get any better, it does.

I can’t thank you enough!

Amazing, heartfelt, powerhouse song about the times we live in. The reality, the theology, and the reach to the conscience of every person who knows “things just aren’t right” is sublime. Keep making these songs.
Billions bought me here. Lovely song
Keep saying the good words buddy!
May God shine a light for you in dark times, as you shall be a light in dark times for the world!
Best songwriter I've seen in a LONNNNNNGGGG TIME. What a time to be alive.
I love how the moodiness of the countryside fits the song like a glove.
THIS is “lost in my headphones” music!!!! Wow.
I've had the pleasure of seeing Stephen Wilson live a few times and he is an amazing talent. Pay attention to him.
Billions brought me here...the amazing talent kept me here
Oh my God what an AMAZING song. Thank you Kathy for raising a good man.
Thanks, Billions, for recognizing this talent!
Just heard this on Billions, Season 7, Episode 4 - truly moving
Great song. Great video. What a storyteller this man is. That walk while he uses his hands to express what he’s saying is absolutely brilliant! This guy is unreal!
Thank you Billions.
A Masterpiece. Enough said.
Billions brought me here. Lyrics hit me like a train. Just grabbed my phone and started typing them into google as I had to find the song
Gives me goosebumps every time
Its refreshing to hear some authentic, outlaw country music for a change as opposed to the country pop were getting at the moment.
This man is authetic, raw and super talented
I dont know how I stubbled onto your music but i beyone glad that i have. You sir, are amazing.
Mit wenigen Worten, dank einer Serie, Augen zu....abschalten...genießen, DANKE DAFÜR!
I'll be the first to say , i'm not a big fan of country music . I'll eat my words now ! Damn it man ?
Proud to be a Hoosier right now ! ❤
Billions brought me here....love these lyrics!!!
He reminds me so much of the Iconic Bruce Springsting style.
So relatable and connected to the average middle class in your lyrics.
Keep up with this style of music...love it.
👍🙏
Yes I agree !!!
Stephen, I don’t even have words for how incredible this song and video are! So amazing!!! 🥰
Dude. Unreal.
