Ladies, if you're with a man, and you check on him or he just decides to confide in you and tells you things on his heart. NEVER EVER use that information in a fight against him later. He'll never tell you another thing like that and NEVER truly trust you again with his heart. He may still love you, but won't trust you with his emotions.
The biggest Lie men ever say is "I am fine/good."
That’s so damn true
I no longer say that, when asked how I am I give the simple answer of, im alive
This is now code for I'm not okay.
@@TheFoxhole78 I just say “I’m here, idk what for, but eh”
I feel this one on a very deep level
Im the last verse and I truly appreciate you for this brother. Much love from the KaveMan ❤️
You nailed it. Your verse hit me the hardest. I hope you're doing well. ❤🔥
❤
@KaveManBrown I don't know how or why I'm just now seeing this. Sorry for the late response. Thank you for your words in this. Definitely hit deep brother.
As a veteran myself and a female, this video is particularly powerful. Seven years ago a Marine I knew but not well took his life, there was no indication he was in pain. Two years later his best friend whom I knew very well, tried and failed. Thank God he failed. I have five brothers, half are introverted which only complicates the matter and the youngest attempted to take his life two years ago. Even my father, whom passed away 20 years ago to cancer never spoke about his feelings being as introverted as half his sons.
I cannot tell you how much I wish this video had come out seven years ago, maybe it would have saved his life and maybe it would have prevented the attempts of the other two. I don't know for sure but men do NOT get the recognition they deserve nor the ability to lay out their feelings often. Not all women are like this but as a society we have moved in a direction of conditioning men in this way and expecting them to be this way. You can still be a masculine, take the lead, defender and tough man while also letting those tears flow...
Shortest verse in the bible: Jesus wept. So can you.
I'm a veteran and I'm not proud that I tried once but had 2 misfires . But it was everything building up. I finally got help but it took everything I had to do it
@@samuelpancake4084 I am so glad you got help and glad you are here. God bless brother
I really like what Dax has been doing with his "Open Verse Challenges" on some of his songs.
It really allows and encourages people to connect with the song on a MUCH more personal level. It kicks down the door and starts conversations, and sometimes that's exactly what I need because I tend to get stuck in my head.
I couldn’t agree more!
i keep on sharing this idea ... about dax's to be a man
this song being open verse should become the longest song ever written with the most contributing artists
and i think if we crown our king this is where Elvis's should be passed because he demonstrates the example of a true and fair leader each of his subjects gets to lead through the openness of his example..
and it comes to us at a time when we have the least support and have to join together and rise up to bring a change to a world that must pull together or were lost .. and we are at the biggest disadvantage we've ever had .. but this is the time and that's what we have to do.. so we will. what makes this song special it's not just speaking on one element.. relationships, addiction, social pressure, emotional obligation, and the desire to persevere.
at the absolute minimum.. THANK YOU FOR YOUR SERVICE,, And always remember suicide is a permanent solution to a temporary problem..
(WOW! I had no idea you were gonna go to a similar place when I wrote this comment halfway through the video)
Like Ecclesiastes says, there's a time for everything under the sun. There's a time to mourn, and a time to hold it together. I think knowing the difference is part of learning to become a man. Sometimes you cry to God alone. But, let it out before it destroys you.
So glad I found you.. My head is spinning right now.. So much to say but it would take too long 😅 man I'm a female but I empathise with males so much hard to explain but I get it.. Men's feeling matter you are not robots.. You all take care ❤ thank you for your advice 👍
Men:
Don't avoid the struggle, push into it.
There is purpose in the pain.
There is value in the struggle.
There is no GLORY and HONOR without Suffering.
BE BRAVE.
What an Amazing collaboration ❤ Bravo to Dax for doing this. These independent artists are Amazing 👏
Man..... 🙏 you for sharing your story between the verses. So much respect grew inside me for you during the continuation of the video. Your veteran demons, 3 kids to raise and all that other stuff you mentioned, I just want to hang out with you and let you empty your bucket, I would be that guy for you. 💫
As a old divorced Christian vet with TBI and PTSD. I think it can be harder just for knowing, what waits for us is so much better than what we are living. I will be honest, my faith i feel is why im still here. I believe it's not up to me to decide when i go. That is God's decision. So i wake up thinking shit still here. So i get up and try my hardest to be who Gods wants me to be to others. Yet i find myself not trusting any responses from them back, so i don't let people get too close. So i spend my days fighting the battle within. I will use a man's number one and two responses. I am fine and it is what it is. I figure the day will come when God will say I've been through enough.
wow, thanks for putting this out there. totally my life... god bless you
Yea...
im fine too brother
@@jimseymour9711 God bless you too
@@ZeroOmega-vg8nq how easy that statement can cover so much. Stay strong my brother.
This is the best reaction channel on TH-cam. So Genuine. I could listen to you talk all day. All keep coming back. No we are here for you brother
As a retired marine that worsened my pre-existing noncombat related ptsd but I thank you for your service and remember I got your six
As a fellow service member, I completely understand the mental issues that you talked about. I feel on a very deep level
I truly mean this. Thank you for your service.
Amazing reaction Brother! 96G here so thank you for your service ❤
Damn Brother. As i told you before, YOU ARE MY NEW HERO, you just solidified that you are indeed that. And the words you have spoken are spot on. All of the appreciation for all you said only measures up a tad bit on how much me and my whole family TRUELY AND GREATLY APPRECIATE YOUR SERVICE TO THIS COUNTRY!!!! And know we also APPRECIATE THE FELLOW SOLDIERS AND FRIENDS YOU LOST DURING YOUR TOURS. Much love my Brother and if you need to vent or need an ear please let me know. Big hugs Brother.
Thank you so much for the kind words and I will definitely keep that in mind.
I've watched so many of these videos and heard so many younger men state they didn't have a good father figure in their lives. I makes me feel sad and happy at the same time. Happy because I had an amazing father.. some of you would probably put him down because he was strong and tough and didn't show affection the way you all would probably demand. but my father raise 3 boys. We were a farming family and I saw what my Dad had to go through and had to deal with and he never complained, at least not in front of us. We all knew our father loved us. He raise three men who are all successful and strong. I've been through some struggles in my life. Most of them not of my own making and because of the what I was taught and the way I was raise, I pushed through all of them. I really feel bad for men who are either on their own or only had a female figure in their lives. Nothing against women, mothers are extremely important but I get mad at people who discount how important it is for young men to have a good male example in their lives. Great Song.
Brother stay strong. I too have felt cold steel against my temple. I'm ashamed about it and shutter to think the life my three sons would face without me.
I'd love to see your reaction to the song, "I'm Not OK" by Rhodes. I found it very powerful and a great message about it being ok to NOT be OK and ask for help or, just to accept help. I think that is something a lot of us fall pray to the stereotype that men aren't supposed to ACCEPT help, let alone ask for it. As a fellow tormented veteran, I love what you are doing with this channel. The struggle is real, but it helps when you realize you aren't alone.
AMAZING reaction bro. I can relate ALL TO WELL unfortunately. 16 year LEO. Sustained a SIGNIFICANT back injury, which lead to SEVERE nerve damage. Legally “ Disabled” to the point where u can’t drive. Also have the ole anxiety and PTSD. This one’s a HEAVY HITTER in the “feels”. I also found your thoughts and commentary very empathetic and educational. You’re NOT ALONE Brother! Keep up the GREAT work! FAM 🐷💙🤘🇺🇸🇨🇦🇬🇧🤘
Bro, I used to be an outgoing person, and you touched my heart, I don't know that some people don't think that PTSD is real, I to can't even be around people anymore, I just want to say you, I don't feel alone 💪🙏👍
Brother, you earned the title of "being a man" by being a Veteran.
When men open up their feeling are turned into weapons against them
First and foremost thank you for your service we need to thank or vets more also thank you for your reaction to video and giving your life experiences as example to explain your points like you I’m lucky I have a wife who is here for me and will push me to let it out and not hold it in
Much appreciated
Thank you for your service sir 👏🤙🦋😎 thank you from your military points of view as well as your words of wisdom
Had to put headphones in for the last cat on the track think im gonna have to do that from now on especially with DAX Shit hit so hard!!! Don't need nobody to carry the load but a shoulder to rest on would be amazing
God bless you, brother.
Love your reaction bro and Thank You For Your Service ❤❤❤
Hey Brother came across your channel while I was Listening to Dax , i just know I know you from somewhere But I just can't place it ?🤔 but God Bless you my Brother and i thank the good lord that you have you're wife and children when them Demons try to come crashing Down on you ❤🙏👍🏻
God always gives you a sign, but if you're not right with him you often will miss it.
What resonates most for me is how we, as men, will put everything before ourselves. As a husband of 15 years, father of 2, I would hold in pain and suffer a thousand deaths to see my girls be happy and prosperous. What this song awakens is how a lot of men will give everything for those they love while only praying for a fraction of reciprocity. The second female vocalist broke me, because if I heard half.of what she sang from my wife, i would truly want for nothing.
I like this version a lot better because it comes from different sides of it. And does acknowledge women's side and how some really do see or didn't realize how bad it can be.
Respect man. Love from UK❤
❤❤
thanks
You're very welcome my friend!
Genuine! That's why I keep coming back to your reactions.
I appreciate that!
8:00 check on your men, but realize that he will resist. He has been conditioned and trained to not let that weight on you. The actual truth will be hard to let go of. He isn't lying to you. Its buried. Digging it up can be a challange
I’m still young but these things from this song run through my head everyday and I know that someday I hope I can find a shoulder to lean on but right now I’m just holding it in ya know i always think about telling people but I don’t like putting my thoughts out because I always thing that I’m gonna be judged
Killer voice is Brutha Rick....
I know you have listened to Dax's original " To be a man " and the mega remix but you really need to check out his " To be a man " remix featuring Darius Rucker.
Love the video and thank you for your service love ya brother
Hello Sir, I hope you are doing good, I just wanted to make sure you are OK. Peace and Love from Scotland 🏴 🏴 🏴 🏴 🏴
Thank you for checking in on me. I am doing ok. I hope all is well with you.
Hooah! keep up the good work brother!!
Respect Brother!! Got Your Six
We are the shoulder but wheres ours...?
Check on all the man in your life husband, dad or brother
great video keep the good the work battle
I had that with my my wife then she passed in Nov 3 2020 but now like alot of brothers im alone
I think more than anything if try to get it out no one gives a shit ...i stay showing my emotions and whatever and im like an enemy, not even just "just man up" crap, lol like literally met with hatred
Nice reaction, big fella. But, if I could give one point of interaction? I would suggest turning whomever you are listening to "Up". At least to the point that you are. I could barely hear Dax's song because you had the volume down. (Way too low)! ♥
I appreciate the suggestion man. Check out some of my more recent videos, hopefully I have made those improvements.
A good woman will appreciate what her man does for them. Men need to take care of themselves as well.
Alot of us dont understand either cause we were taught to burry it
Ive got a hogs tooth from my own rifle i wear it everyday but not gonna lie it looks tasty every now and then
28:12
i ove you but id love to see your wives reation to this song
This might be fun. I’ll see if I can get this to happen.
its wierd to watch a fellow vets reaction, most people show the emotion but we just dont and give a break down. maybe not a reaction for views but a breakdown. it takes to much for us to react
Its not that its what we do on our own because men have neen dealing with this shit since the beginning of time but lately ontop of our own struggles the world is coming down on us adding so much more weight it cant be sustained but if we cry or complain we are weak and discarded
With all of the talk I keep almost falling asleep
Would have taken less effort to move on to another video my friend.
It's a reaction video
...he's reacting....🤷
Unfortunately so much autotunes used on voices. Definitely miss the days before autotunes hearing a singer's real voice. That said the version with darious rucker was better.
