Hey everyone, hopefully everyone knows that I know the soloing and instrumentation was absolute shit in this, I hope they also know I don’t care. Recorded this in 30 minutes and one take; felt like I had something to say after a hard patch in my life. Stay steady and know you will always be yours if you claim whoever it is. Thank you!!
Just found you yesterday and you’re already one of my favorite artists of all time. Keep up the great work and stay true to who you are my man, you’re going places
Feeling the hurt in the vocals.. for what you were trying to accomplish it was received. I don’t play music to make other ppl feel good as selfish as that sounds.. I play for my heart that seems to always be healing
A girl that I have a crush on likes his music I have never heard of zach bryan intill she told me but the girl that I like I was talking to through social media because she does not go to my school anymore unfriend me and I did not even get to tell her I like her I asked her out before like one or two years and she rejected me I was thinking about writing her a song but I do not really know how to I have some songs I writen but they all the lyrics rhyme and not that long more like a poem/ song what is zach bryan music really about
For years ive listened to this, praying one day I could sing it sober, calm and clear. Today, Im 120 days clean from Fentanyl. I purposely waited for this day to listen once again, and Im proud to say I sang this song sober, calm and clear for the first time.
Keep at it! It's amazing how little things like a line from a song can motivate people and reveal some life changing perspectives. I was having some real trust issues after the end of a long and sour relationship with my ex and I was having second thoughts about ever committing again. Then I remembered the line from a Dawes song that went like "if you can give yourself to someone then you should". And it was enough of a push to give me courage to give myself a second chance, started dating the best girl I have ever met and I eventually married her. But what really hits is when you realize that the strength to overcome was always in you, the song just gave it a little kick out of the door. Again, congrats man.
Been at war with fentanyl now for a long time. I can say with genuine truth, that anyone who has fought in that war and came out on top, is a strong person. Stay on top my friend we don’t know each other, but I’m proud of you. Stay strong and alive.
Are you kidding me Zach Bryan where have you been my entire life brother your music is food for the soul just raw real authentic great lyrics great voice thank you for your service in the Navy but even more thank you for finding country music industry don’t ever change we love you for you
black guy here! 35 years old and im also a zach bryan fan i live in vegas now but im from alabama and let me tell you its songs like this - CONDEMED and "open the gate" that can bring us all together. i can wait unitil he comes to vegas in a couple months because this city needs his energy and soul right now:0 you the man ZACH!!!
This song saved my life. I’m 27 days sober and I never thought I would be here. I’m starting to love my self again and taking care of my body and health. Thank you Zach for this song. I feel every word
Interesting, my friend Chris who was an addict for probably a decade or more, is just shy of 3 years sober, after dying from OD 3 times in a year a lone. He's got a successful detail company here and is doing amazing. You will as well. Keep at it.
Hits hard.trying so hard to get back to who i know i am inside. Ive been a fuckin junk bag for so long that at times i haven't known if i was still inside me or not.Praying to God to get me thru this and back to being me.When i loved life and was excited every morning to face the day.go to work and gym.Instead of dreading waking up and scheeming and hustling to score.Hate drugs and what i allow them to do to my life.God give me the strength to rise above this crap!
This song is so creative. At first I thought it was a love song, then I thought it was a song about his best friend, but it turned out to be about him. So great, I love this song already.
As a psychotherapist who works with folks who struggle (all of us), this song is so damned honest it takes my breath away. Thanks, Zach. You nailed it.
As a person who went went to EMDR therapies for almost a year maybe they need to hear this song.. it would help me (the more emotional one) a freaking lot
0:03 after battling with alcohol addiction for many years I finally with the Lord health was delivered, and my son sent this song to me and told me that he was proud of me. Sio it means a whole lot to me.
30 years of addiction and I'm " mine again "...my daughter sent this to me after not talking to me for almost 2 years. Thank you God, thank you for this song...the truth in it is undeniable. 💯
He's always either sweatin' his ass off, or playing where it's so cold you can see his breath. One day he's gonna be able to play in a comfortable temperature and ain't gonna know what to do with himself.
Welcome to living in a place that is real, raw, and unforgiving. This is why we chose to live in places with Pine trees, and all of the seasons. You wont know what your missing until you experience it.
This song is amazing ..I've lost a son and after his death he sent me my twin flame...forever I have a love to cherish and this twin flame has to have my son inside him is all I know because he definitely sent him
If this don’t sober me up nothing will Zach If you haven’t lived threw a very heavy struggle with addiction, I assume someone very close to you did... God bless brother
Cory, you keep you sober... day by day or minute by minute sometimes. That's what it will always take my friend. I know. Songs like this and individuals like him will give us some of those minutes everyday and sometimes the minute is all we can ask for... not a day not a week not a year. One minute, 10 minutes, and in our journey as we cross paths with things , people, and music that give us those minutes they move us to stand there and not step back. They give us a stillness of strength and satisfaction. It's a damn good feeling isn't it. In that we get those minutes that I think most don't get. You found a way to hold onto some minutes.. keep it and use it. He won't mind I'm sure and if he does who gives a shit. You get the respect from your self for your sobriety any day your sober/clean. And he deserves acknowledgement for giving you the minutes he gave you towards that day. I did and do the same. And he gave me a few damn good minutes today. Just remember man. You're not alone, and you got this(sobriety) as long as you have tools like this to help. So do I
I wish my husband would've heard this song and held it dear to his heart. We just said our final goodbye to him yesterday as he succumbed to his demons. The hardest thing me and our kids will ever face. My son turned me onto Zach Bryan and he's all I've listened to. His music resonates with my soul. ♥️ I know you're finally at peace My Love 💗😘.
l agree with you, indeed Zach Bryan is a great and talented artist who's songs never goes out of style, he's one of my favorites artist, he's songs still and always heals the Soul..
My 1st husband died of an o.d. in 2009. The week of our only child’s 14th birthday. She hadn’t seen him in a year. I’ll never forget the 3am knock at my door with my brother and father giving me the news. And the longest 6hrs of my life waiting for our daughter to wake up to give her the news by myself. Something died in me that day. Bless you and your family. There is hope and healing in each new day ahead I promise.
The tears came pouring out this morning after your words came through the speaker. You me & we have all been through our hardships military or not. We all have & share pain….”after the rough spots in life, they kinda just have to call them selves theirs again. Know that no matter what. They can always go back to who they were” god bless you brother. Thank you for sharing your pain with us so we can all know we aren’t alone. Also for showing us when we are rock bottom, we can tie our boots up get back on our feet. Love ❤ “Well I am mine again. Every mistake that I made And I ain't ashamed to say who the hell I am” !!! 3-15-2024
Not gonna lie, this song makes me sob. I’ll be screaming these lyrics until I can truly mean them. Gotta get back to who I am, someway, somehow. This sounds a little dramatic but your music has truly saved me this year. Thank you.
You couldn’t have said more!! The positive energy that is felt with the lyrics and the sound makes me too want to keep moving forward in a positive movement of life!
This song gave me the strength to get counseling. I was living a half life after serving as an ICU nurse during the pandemic, experiencing a traumatic birth, subsequent PTSD and postpartum anxiety all in the same year. I wasn't myself, was drinking too much and disconnected from my son and husband, and the first time I heard this song I broke down sobbing. I hope you're reading this and know that you gave at least one person the strength to change their life. After a long road of counseling, a job change and medication I recognize myself again and I couldn't be more thankful
Reading your situation, has given me strength. Thank you. And thank you, as well, for your service during an extremely tough and horrible time. You are a survivor and I want to be like you. Hugs
I never comment on songs, But all I have to say is this speaks to me on a different level. My older brother was addicted to pills since 8th grade. Before then me and him were best friends. We had nothing but trust and love for each other. Once his addiction took over I lost him as brother, as a best friend. I couldn't trust him. After his overdose my father, sisters and little brother decided to send him to live with our grandparents. He's been sober for 2 years now. we're getting back to how we were when we where younger. I missed this version of my brother. I'm sitting here crying while I'm writing this. I'll never be sure if Zach will read this. But thank you for helping me through this year.
There are 2 songs on my 11 month olds bedtime playlist. Porchlight and something in the orange. She falls asleep so fast to either one. Maybe conditioning but on a 7 day roadtrip it also calmed her down the moment we would put them on. Music made traveling with an 8 yr old and an 8 month old more then bearable.
Spent years depressed, wasted my life away doing odd jobs to survive, barely scraping by. One day I decided to man up, pursued education while working full time, exercised almost every day to get fit, got off alcohol and cigarettes. Now got a degree, a good job and fitter than I've ever have been. I always listened to this song hoping it would be me one day. I'm glad it did.
Haven’t picked up my guitar in over a year. This is the first song I played last night. 3 years sober September 1st and better than I’ve ever thought I could be. Listening to Zach everyday for the past few months has truly brought into perspective that it’s not just me. Thank you for that👊🏻
It takes quite the soul to understand this kind of music. Let the kids be kids and enjoy what the world tells them they should; but as for you, brother.. smirk from a distance and take pride in the fact that your heart is connected to the type of music that’ll last a lifetime and another half step. Cheers
Sameeee, I’m 14 and everyone around me listens to rap and every time I tell them to listen to this stuff they always say “it’s just beer and trucks” and it makes me so mad. I should clarify I have nothing against rap, a lot of rappers have really good and soulful songs but I hate how rap has become “WITH THE BLIKY AHHHHH REAL STICKY AHHHHH” and all about weed and stuff.
@@zachbryan505 well if that’s true then it is so nice that you responded, you are a massive inspiration for me and you are so good at everything you do. Thank you for your service
My 21 year old niece got married last weekend. Her brother danced the father daughter dance with her in my brother's honor to Old Man. I'm still crying.
You are mine again, and I'm so damn glad you're here, Talking sober, calm and clear like you couldnt back then... 120 days sober yesterday.. Also, my 5 year relationship ended in september 2020, so i've been figuring out who I am as an individual again. I'm in a much better place now, and I really do love myself. This song hit me.
I heard this song for the first time in June. I was at my lowest and struggling with alcoholism. It truly helped me to find my path to sobriety. I am finally mine again. Thank you Zach Bryan for all these beautiful songs!
I found my dad after 30 years of being apart. I'm going through a healing phase of my life, repairing old wounds, im starting to sing, dance and act silly again, im starting to feel as I heal. Your music is helping me through a very tough time in life. Thank you my friend, from my tears of my heart, your soul is special. You matter and your music helps people. Thank you so much. Thanks to you I understand what I've been feeling so much. I am mine again.
🎶🎵🎶 “You are mine again, every mistake that you made, all the people that you saved that took a little piece of you with them You are mine again, and I’m so damn glad your here, talking sober, calm and clear like you couldn’t back then How many sad songs it take, to get your stubborn ass awake, what finally got you rising from your bed Was it the sunset on her cheeks, leading down to a delicate collar bone, or the judgement of your mind when you’re alone Mine again, my fondest friend where the hell you been I’ve been struggling to get back to you If you fight all night I’m sure you’ll gain the guts to try To get past the things that you’ve been through Cause no one plays the fool quite like you Are those tires you got still turning Is that spirit you had still burning Do you still talk that shit like you did before All the women and the wages and the wars that I’ve been waging, I just don’t feel like fightin’ anymore Mine again, my fondest friend where the hell you been I’ve been struggling to get back to you If you fight all night I’m sure you’ll gain the guts to try It ain't your fault what you’ve been through Cause no one plays the cool quite the way you do Mine again, so head back home to who you know you can Mine again, don’t be so cruel and play God with all his plans Mine again, my fondest friend where the hell you been I’ve been struggling to get back to you If you fight all night I’m sure you’ll gain the guts to try It's not your fault what you’ve been through No one plays it cool quite like you Cause I am mine again. Every mistake that I’ve made and I ain’t ashamed to say who the hell I am Cause I am mine again and I’m so damn glad I’m here talkin strong sober and clear like I couldn’t back then” ❤️
My parents were drug addicts and alcoholics my whole life until I was over 20 and they finally got sober and now we are talking everyday and I’m just so thankful to have them back despite all we’ve been through. I think we all blame our parents for their faults but at some point you realize we are all humans and no one is even close to perfect. I’m just so damn glad you’re hear...talk sober calm and clear like you couldn’t back then
I'm 15, My dad died when I was 10 around December 5th 2018, that one was a hard pill to swallow, I've been dealing with stuff similar except my parents kind of pushed the limit to how much they could do, My mom currently doesn't talk to me, but this kind of music really does help me, I can go on without the one parent I have left, or with her It doesn't matter how I'll pull through some how.
You're on my bucket list of people to meet before I die. Man, you've changed my life, corny as hell, but you've changed my mentality and made me want to become a better man at 20 years old. You speak your heart, and the way you talk about your pain is powerful and I feel like that is why so many people can relate to your music, and get drawn in. You don't seem like fame would change you, keep it up, and thank you for all you've done.
Just found out about you literally today. Now 2/2 for songs you sing making me cry. Felt like god was talking to me directly.... Decided to get completely sober. Thanks man.
What a phenomenal back drop you have. I am years removed from life in Oregon. Pieces of my heart are all over that land. I was so far gone for ao many years. This song is so relateable. I appreciate your transparency, truely. Thanks for sharing bits of your soul with us.
Zach- Marine Corps Vet and alcoholic. As I work on living sober, this song means a lot to me. Your music has helped me heal. And for that I want to say Thank You!!
The first time a I heard this song, I dreamed of my dad & I singing it together one day. He was in and out of prison, AA & NA my whole life. It was always something. Inevitably he would stumble, fall, and just stay down. You finally learn to stop begging them to please get up again. Finally at 62 he was clean, for almost a year. A series of events left him homeless, but I was just on the verge of allowing him into my life again. It felt safe to extend my protective boundaries. That’s when I got the call. He’d passed. Heart attack. Coroner told me he had no substances in his system. Which made me proud and absolutely heart broken at the same time. It just felt so unfair. Right when there was finally hope. He might be gone, but to me, that’s temporary. I still day dream about the day we’re reunited, the day when finally all his demons are gone and he can be the man he was supposed to be, and damnit we are GONNA sing this song together. I can’t wait 💜
What a story. In some weird way, your dad having a hard life, helped you have a better life and showed you right versus wrong. All the best to you and your future.
Previous generations had Waylon Jennings, Haggard and Willie Nelson. We’ve got Tyler Childers, Colter Wall and Zach Bryan. And it’s through these guys country music lives on through the ages
I keep replaying the beginning. You’re such a great writer and you’re helping so many people you have no idea so many people can relate to exactly what you’re saying and you have no idea how bad I needed this thank you.
You are not alone, for we all face darkness and saying it is the beginning to seeing a light, like hearing this song it helps as it helps to know you are not alone
Keep listening to good music with true messages.... and keep God close to your heart. The difference He has made in my life is unreal.... and He has never asked me to be perfect...just be myself, cause that's how He loves us.
You are right about that I should be thinking like that but I didn’t realize until now that everyone was looking at this like a group counseling session I think that’s fuckin awesome
Working on my 2nd year sober from booze, and I’ve learned as well that perspective is everything. At any and every point we can reclaim ourselves. If you read this Zach, thank you for your genuine approach to helping our society through music. Too many artists in the mainstream do not understand the problems you so carefully put into words. Many people face the same types of issues, but your voice resonates loudly, and I personally appreciate how you’ve made the world a better place by simply believing in yourself and following your passion! Thank you again Zach
Zach man, I only recently discovered you. That being said since I have I have been listening to you almost exclusively. My dad told me once when I was very little, "music should mean something, say something". I've never forgotten those words and used that metric my whole life. I love your music man. Love it.
@@FGS-yk3vc slow and steady. Have a guitar looking for a good teacher. Lessons are hard to come by with COVID right now. Been plugging away just watching TH-cam videos.
Thank you Zach for this. I have bipolar 2 and sometimes I go through some pretty rough patches with anxiety and panic attacks. I always remember this song and the meaning of it. It helps me more than I could ever explain. Love you man, thanks❤
Ol Zach is a hell of a therapist, I hope you can regain your peace, a lot of folks suffering (Including me), I was nastly dependant on Opiate pain meds from Orthopedic Injury, I'm 6 years clean off pain meds and 16months off Methadone....I'm sober for the first time since 2004 and THIS song helped me so much. Former firefighter, father, and I'm mine again, by the grace of God.
Rediscovered this song after relapsing pretty hard and going on a bender. This song hits different after something like that and is a beautiful reminder that I can chose to fight to be who I used to be. I can be mine again. Its not too late. At least thats what im trying to believe this morning! God help me
Zach, I hope you know God sees how many people that your gift has reached and changed there lives! Never underestimate your gift brother! That 30 mins you thought wasn't good enough....it was perfect brother!
To have what society considers a 'life', I've gone through some shit the past 3 years, lost it all, with more shit ahead of me. At age 34, I am on the edge of embodying this song. Safe to say this song will be shouted from the hilltops when I am mine again ❤
zach. you will forever live in my head as the greatest to do it..not even just the music. but you've won life in my eyes with your wisdom. i'm only 14 but i hope one day i'll be half the man you are.
@@thegreatcaroon6423 you just stopped me in my tracks with this, as I struggle to make sense of it all. I think you have reset me and inspired me to write a song about these wise words. Respect to you and this 14 year old with more sense that the almost 50 year old.
@@dylancisneros7321 can confirm this definitely looks like the north cascades of Washington. Source: I live in and travel around a hell of a lot of Washington
Wow! First time hearing this song, trying to get sober and this song struck a chord in me. I need to be “mine again”. ❤ thanks for such a beautiful song Zach, I love it.
‘All the people you saved took a little piece of you with them’ has to be the most powerful musical line in all of my life and it will be immortalized on my body
IMAGINE BEING ON A HIKE THROUGH THE MOUNTAINS, NOT REALLY KNOWING WHERE YOU'RE GOING JUST EXPLORING, AND YOU STUMBLE ACROSS ZACK BRYAN JUST SINGING HIS WHOLE HEART OUT
Hey Zach, thank you for this. My trip from the bottom has taken years. This song has been a part of what made my trip possible. It’s a walk I’m still taking. Your work makes it more possible. Thank you.
Thank you so much for this song. It’s been my recovery song, and I still can’t listen to it all the way through without shedding a tear, cause it hits home and has definitely helped keep me sober. Thanks man, been calling you for a while now, and always liked your music. Here’s to more, thanks zach
Dude I been looking for this song and didn't even know it. You really put the truth down on this one, and this man is thankful for it. A strong song for strong healing. Thank you
Been clean since 3-30-21 after 20 year of drug and alcohol abuse and I was in the truck with 11 year old daughter when this song came on and it was like he was singing it to me this past 11 months have been the best of my life enjoying the little things I took for granted for so long! You touch my soul today Mr. Bryan! Amazing song and u have a fan for life sir!
It’s 2024. I’m sitting on my porch on the stoop watching cars go past outside my trailer. I’m halfway through my dishes and I know this song is old but just so so good. That being said I’m drinking miller highlife and Evan Williams and I could not be happier with finding who I am. At 22 I swore I was gonna delete myself, 2 years later I have a place to call my own in a town that keeps me out of trouble. I can’t appreciate this song enough for speaking to me in a way for me to be happy with where I am. I love it.
Most songwriters search their whole lives for that one special bar. And this guy's spitting them out so fast, we take them for granted. "...was it the sunset on her cheeks leading down to her delicate collarbone, or the judgment of your mind when you're alone?" Who can't feel THAT?!
With songwriting like this at your age, reminds me of when I started really listening to lyrics of songs way back in the early eighties in my late teens when I was following the careers of Elton John, Eurythmics, Sheena Easton, Prince, George Micheal and so forth, the one you remind me most of because of your melodic voice and songwriting is Dolly Parton. Whom I've followed since 1979. The way she tells her woe of tales. I see in your songwriting. I hope you have just as good a career as she has had. You deserve it with that voice. Cheers, from your new fan Down Under.
You are watching/listening to what greatness is all about. Guy doesn’t write a bad song, in MHO this is one of his best. The authenticity of his music and his performances always jumps off the screen at you. What a gift!
His writing is so meaningful yet so simple and perfectly crafted. No artist carries this emotional depth to their work quite like ZB. Not to mention I have a long line of Sailors in my family so it means a lot that he loved his time in the Navy.
I needed this song so badly.. this just encouraged my soul. I suffer from anxiety and been down for a few months but managed to get back up and active. Then I hear this song and my soul gets a uplifting thanks!
In the military lol. Might not matter but this song really connects with me. Being stationed in Germany was probably one of the hardest part of my life. My health, my mental health, all went down the drain. My leadership was a hit or miss. I loved myself before I joined. Now I can't stand to look at myself in the mirror. I have 151 pages of medical records, that I can fix. It's the mental fights, exhaustion, and confidence loss that I'm unsure I can get back. The friends who've stopped talking to me, the relationships that I've had to end cause I couldn't put everything into words. I'm glad I'm doing my service but at what cost? This song might save me when I get home in 5 months. Although I'm unsure if I'll make it back, I gotta try right?
The riff and melodies here are so warm and loving in its tone and vibe. Lyrically, this song is incredible. It felt like a campfire folktale I was hearing about myself and my experiences. This is one of the greatest songs ever made.
Im In rehab. And this song has been something I looked forward to since before I chose to get sober. And now. It means even more being able to truly be mine again. @120days sober.🎉
This song means so much to me after this tough year of 2022. Getting robbed and assaulted, mental health battles, and losing my grandfather. This song means the absolute world to me. Zach Bryan, I think I can definitely reclaim myself and look back in the mirror and change who I was. Now at the end of the year of 2022, I landed a job at rivian automotive at the assembly plant in Normal, IL and I am moving down there and getting my own place to rent and that job will be the job I work until I retire. Zach Bryan, due to this song I have looked in the mirror and reclaimed myself and called myself mine again and I have finally gone back to where I was a year ago. Thank You Zach. It’s all because of this song I turned myself around into a better person.
With recent events, becoming another 22 a day statistic, you single handedly got me through the darkest days of my life. Keep up the work you do, it moves people to push through. Thank you. I AM MINE AGAIN!
i was introduced to your music by a friend of mine with something in the orange, heavy eyes, and el dorado and ive since heard every single song you’ve ever released. you’re my favorite artist of all time without question and the best artist on the planet right now. i can’t express how much your music means to me. ever since i first heard your music it became my dream to make music just like you and maybe even meet you someday. i can’t wait to see you live someday and to hear your new album, the great american bar scene. next time you go on tour just know ill be there cheering you on just like everyone else is because the talent you possess can’t possibly be expressed in words. you’re amazing. keep doing what your doing! 🫶
This song is amazing! I'm sure it was written for vets, but as a rape survivor with PTSD, it's super meaningful for me too. I definitely had to reclaim myself because trauma had completely changed me. After 12 years, I'm in a better place than I ever could have imagined back then. It's still hard, but it's something I'm learning how to live with. No matter what the trauma is, things really will get better with time, so please hang in there!
Beautiful words I m so very glad your feeling okt these days Sometimes you go too far to come back I happy you found a way I m still trying to find the road Thanks PS Hope you read my poem/song lyric in the previous comments Might help It always helps me Bye take care
@@reddwing4368 It takes time, but I fully believe that you will find a way forward. In the meantime, just keep getting through today each day. I believe in you!
Of many of Zack songs this is one of his best songs if you come from a broken relationship or marriage and are trying to restore the person you once were, which you know you can but the question is do you want to?
Gotta shake that frost off your bones after sobering up. Thank your father in Heaven for every breath you take and new day you are given. Love you all and pray that all that read this may be free of the demon of addiction and every negative or harmful though may be held captive in the name of Yeshua of Nazareth ❤️✝️🤙
Damn I just realized that I’ve been avoiding listening to this guy cuz I was confusing him with Zac Brown. Im very glad i finally realized they are totally different, this is great
Zach Bryan, you're by far my favorite artist in any genre. You sing and write songs that speak to souls. Especially mine.... thank you. From the bottom of my heart, thank you. If everyone made music like you the world would be a much better place.
For what it’s worth man and maybe you see this but gosh, this song broke my heart. I have a lot of things going in my own little world but these words and progression of melodies you play through sent a bolt of inspiration and calmness to the madness playing in my head. I have listened to this all day. So I say thank you, and congrats to all your accomplishments my friend. I plan to cover this and I would love to send it to you. Your time and efforts towards this song are heard and respected by me man. Thank you.
Hey everyone, hopefully everyone knows that I know the soloing and instrumentation was absolute shit in this, I hope they also know I don’t care. Recorded this in 30 minutes and one take; felt like I had something to say after a hard patch in my life. Stay steady and know you will always be yours if you claim whoever it is. Thank you!!
Sounds good bro. Never heard Alaskan country before
Just found you yesterday and you’re already one of my favorite artists of all time. Keep up the great work and stay true to who you are my man, you’re going places
Feeling the hurt in the vocals.. for what you were trying to accomplish it was received. I don’t play music to make other ppl feel good as selfish as that sounds.. I play for my heart that seems to always be healing
incredible bortha. Actually made me cry. Thank you
A girl that I have a crush on likes his music I have never heard of zach bryan intill she told me but the girl that I like I was talking to through social media because she does not go to my school anymore unfriend me and I did not even get to tell her I like her I asked her out before like one or two years and she rejected me I was thinking about writing her a song but I do not really know how to I have some songs I writen but they all the lyrics rhyme and not that long more like a poem/ song what is zach bryan music really about
For years ive listened to this, praying one day I could sing it sober, calm and clear. Today, Im 120 days clean from Fentanyl. I purposely waited for this day to listen once again, and Im proud to say I sang this song sober, calm and clear for the first time.
I’m proud of you! You’re doing great! I lost my brother to fentanyl. I hope you continue your sobriety. Stay strong. You got this.
Keep at it! It's amazing how little things like a line from a song can motivate people and reveal some life changing perspectives. I was having some real trust issues after the end of a long and sour relationship with my ex and I was having second thoughts about ever committing again. Then I remembered the line from a Dawes song that went like "if you can give yourself to someone then you should". And it was enough of a push to give me courage to give myself a second chance, started dating the best girl I have ever met and I eventually married her. But what really hits is when you realize that the strength to overcome was always in you, the song just gave it a little kick out of the door. Again, congrats man.
Maybe one day I will as well
Been at war with fentanyl now for a long time. I can say with genuine truth, that anyone who has fought in that war and came out on top, is a strong person. Stay on top my friend we don’t know each other, but I’m proud of you. Stay strong and alive.

This song saved my life. I’m 27 days sober and I never thought I would be here. I’m starting to love my self again and taking care of my body and health. Thank you Zach for this song. I feel every word
Glad to hear that, keep going man!
keep it going pimp, you deserve it.
Interesting, my friend Chris who was an addict for probably a decade or more, is just shy of 3 years sober, after dying from OD 3 times in a year a lone. He's got a successful detail company here and is doing amazing. You will as well. Keep at it.
52 days strong
I wish you the best brother! Keep up that attitude of yours and do what is best for you.
Hits hard.trying so hard to get back to who i know i am inside. Ive been a fuckin junk bag for so long that at times i haven't known if i was still inside me or not.Praying to God to get me thru this and back to being me.When i loved life and was excited every morning to face the day.go to work and gym.Instead of dreading waking up and scheeming and hustling to score.Hate drugs and what i allow them to do to my life.God give me the strength to rise above this crap!
Spent some time with this dude in the Navy and knew he was special the moment i met him

This song is so creative. At first I thought it was a love song, then I thought it was a song about his best friend, but it turned out to be about him. So great, I love this song already.

Leave it to Zach to do that. The kid is decades beyond himself in wisdom and words.
Any song is about what you can relate to brother. All his songs are different considering the individual that is listening. Zach4President 2024
I think maybe it’s actually about all of the above
I feel like such an idiot I have heard it 30 times and didn't put that together or really listen til' I read ur comment XD.
As a psychotherapist who works with folks who struggle (all of us), this song is so damned honest it takes my breath away. Thanks, Zach. You nailed it.
Thank you for what you do ❤
@@inkpearls3364 You're welcome. I love my work.
Yes! 💯im also a psycho (therapist) 😅 and I had same thoughts! 🤟
As a person who went went to EMDR therapies for almost a year maybe they need to hear this song.. it would help me (the more emotional one) a freaking lot
The emotion he puts into all of his songs is truly why he is my favorite artist. Plus all of his amazing songs.
Couldn’t have said it better
Agreed brother
Agreed
you can feel it when he sings just an incredible artist and will always be one of my favorites
You can almost tell how much he means it by the bloodshot in his eyes
0:03 after battling with alcohol addiction for many years I finally with the Lord health was delivered, and my son sent this song to me and told me that he was proud of me. Sio it means a whole lot to me.
30 years of addiction and I'm " mine again "...my daughter sent this to me after not talking to me for almost 2 years. Thank you God, thank you for this song...the truth in it is undeniable. 💯
This man is Godsent. I believe that wholeheartedly.

Best song I've heard since elvis/johnny cash ...your truly great, just like them zac.

If this don’t sober me up nothing will
Zach If you haven’t lived threw a very heavy struggle with addiction, I assume someone very close to you did... God bless brother
Cory, you keep you sober... day by day or minute by minute sometimes. That's what it will always take my friend. I know. Songs like this and individuals like him will give us some of those minutes everyday and sometimes the minute is all we can ask for... not a day not a week not a year. One minute, 10 minutes, and in our journey as we cross paths with things , people, and music that give us those minutes they move us to stand there and not step back. They give us a stillness of strength and satisfaction. It's a damn good feeling isn't it. In that we get those minutes that I think most don't get. You found a way to hold onto some minutes.. keep it and use it. He won't mind I'm sure and if he does who gives a shit. You get the respect from your self for your sobriety any day your sober/clean. And he deserves acknowledgement for giving you the minutes he gave you towards that day. I did and do the same. And he gave me a few damn good minutes today. Just remember man. You're not alone, and you got this(sobriety) as long as you have tools like this to help. So do I
I wish my husband would've heard this song and held it dear to his heart. We just said our final goodbye to him yesterday as he succumbed to his demons. The hardest thing me and our kids will ever face. My son turned me onto Zach Bryan and he's all I've listened to. His music resonates with my soul. ♥️ I know you're finally at peace My Love 💗😘.

talented artist who's songs never goes out of style,
he's one of my favorites artist, he's songs still and
always heals the Soul..

My 1st husband died of an o.d. in 2009. The week of our only child’s 14th birthday. She hadn’t seen him in a year. I’ll never forget the 3am knock at my door with my brother and father giving me the news. And the longest 6hrs of my life waiting for our daughter to wake up to give her the news by myself. Something died in me that day. Bless you and your family. There is hope and healing in each new day ahead I promise.
@stemartin6671I wanted to say something like this but I know I can’t say it any better than you have so I second this comment ❤
I'm so sorry
The tears came pouring out this morning after your words came through the speaker. You me & we have all been through our hardships military or not. We all have & share pain….”after the rough spots in life, they kinda just have to call them selves theirs again. Know that no matter what. They can always go back to who they were” god bless you brother. Thank you for sharing your pain with us so we can all know we aren’t alone. Also for showing us when we are rock bottom, we can tie our boots up get back on our feet. Love ❤ “Well I am mine again. Every mistake that I made
And I ain't ashamed to say who the hell I am” !!! 3-15-2024
Not gonna lie, this song makes me sob. I’ll be screaming these lyrics until I can truly mean them. Gotta get back to who I am, someway, somehow. This sounds a little dramatic but your music has truly saved me this year. Thank you.
They say it’s one day at a time , but sometimes you just gotta take it one minute at a time … one foot in front of the other . You’ll get there !
I feel this
You couldn’t have said more!! The positive energy that is felt with the lyrics and the sound makes me too want to keep moving forward in a positive movement of life!
5 days sober from pain pills. Something about your music made me change my life. THANK YOU ZACH BRYAN. Stay pure.
Hope you're still doing good man
happy 1 year sober.

How u doing
I'm still sober! I think it took about 18 days of withdrawals. It was hard but so worth it! Thanks
This song gave me the strength to get counseling. I was living a half life after serving as an ICU nurse during the pandemic, experiencing a traumatic birth, subsequent PTSD and postpartum anxiety all in the same year. I wasn't myself, was drinking too much and disconnected from my son and husband, and the first time I heard this song I broke down sobbing. I hope you're reading this and know that you gave at least one person the strength to change their life. After a long road of counseling, a job change and medication I recognize myself again and I couldn't be more thankful
I’m glad you’re here ❤️ congrats on all your progress
Reading your situation, has given me strength. Thank you. And thank you, as well, for your service during an extremely tough and horrible time. You are a survivor and I want to be like you. Hugs
And in the cold bleak winter night..Zach Bryan suddenly appeared once again to save us all
I feel this one brother
Right on 🤙
if only thats all we needed
and in the bleak midwinter...
Yessssss!!!
I never comment on songs, But all I have to say is this speaks to me on a different level. My older brother was addicted to pills since 8th grade. Before then me and him were best friends. We had nothing but trust and love for each other. Once his addiction took over I lost him as brother, as a best friend. I couldn't trust him. After his overdose my father, sisters and little brother decided to send him to live with our grandparents. He's been sober for 2 years now. we're getting back to how we were when we where younger. I missed this version of my brother. I'm sitting here crying while I'm writing this. I'll never be sure if Zach will read this. But thank you for helping me through this year.
When covid is over ill be in the front row of your concert.
Blessings are everywhere
Listen to get out alive
I'm 85 days clean and my daughter told me to listen to this song
Keep fighting for your daughter 🙏🏼

If he only knew how many times he has stoped my 2 year old from crying God bless this man
There are 2 songs on my 11 month olds bedtime playlist. Porchlight and something in the orange. She falls asleep so fast to either one. Maybe conditioning but on a 7 day roadtrip it also calmed her down the moment we would put them on. Music made traveling with an 8 yr old and an 8 month old more then bearable.
Spent years depressed, wasted my life away doing odd jobs to survive, barely scraping by. One day I decided to man up, pursued education while working full time, exercised almost every day to get fit, got off alcohol and cigarettes. Now got a degree, a good job and fitter than I've ever have been. I always listened to this song hoping it would be me one day. I'm glad it did.
Haven’t picked up my guitar in over a year. This is the first song I played last night. 3 years sober September 1st and better than I’ve ever thought I could be. Listening to Zach everyday for the past few months has truly brought into perspective that it’s not just me. Thank you for that👊🏻
Same here. I'm about to be four years sober and this song is a good reminder as to why I don't go back. Keep it up!
@@mynamesjudge you too bro👊🏻👊🏻👊🏻

I’m 18 and I hate how in my friends group I’m the only that prefers this kind Music over rap
It takes quite the soul to understand this kind of music. Let the kids be kids and enjoy what the world tells them they should; but as for you, brother.. smirk from a distance and take pride in the fact that your heart is connected to the type of music that’ll last a lifetime and another half step. Cheers
Sameeee, I’m 14 and everyone around me listens to rap and every time I tell them to listen to this stuff they always say “it’s just beer and trucks” and it makes me so mad. I should clarify I have nothing against rap, a lot of rappers have really good and soulful songs but I hate how rap has become “WITH THE BLIKY AHHHHH REAL STICKY AHHHHH” and all about weed and stuff.

120 days sober yesterday.. Also, my 5 year relationship ended in september 2020, so i've been figuring out who I am as an individual again. I'm in a much better place now, and I really do love myself. This song hit me.
Well done ❤
I heard this song for the first time in June. I was at my lowest and struggling with alcoholism. It truly helped me to find my path to sobriety. I am finally mine again. Thank you Zach Bryan for all these beautiful songs!
I found my dad after 30 years of being apart. I'm going through a healing phase of my life, repairing old wounds, im starting to sing, dance and act silly again, im starting to feel as I heal. Your music is helping me through a very tough time in life. Thank you my friend, from my tears of my heart, your soul is special. You matter and your music helps people. Thank you so much.

“You are mine again, every mistake that you made, all the people that you saved that took a little piece of you with them
You are mine again, and I’m so damn glad your here, talking sober, calm and clear like you couldn’t back then
How many sad songs it take, to get your stubborn ass awake, what finally got you rising from your bed
Was it the sunset on her cheeks, leading down to a delicate collar bone, or the judgement of your mind when you’re alone
Mine again, my fondest friend where the hell you been
I’ve been struggling to get back to you
If you fight all night I’m sure you’ll gain the guts to try
To get past the things that you’ve been through
Cause no one plays the fool quite like you
Are those tires you got still turning
Is that spirit you had still burning
Do you still talk that shit like you did before
All the women and the wages and the wars that I’ve been waging, I just don’t feel like fightin’ anymore
Mine again, my fondest friend where the hell you been
I’ve been struggling to get back to you
If you fight all night I’m sure you’ll gain the guts to try
It ain't your fault what you’ve been through
Cause no one plays the cool quite the way you do
Mine again, so head back home to who you know you can
Mine again, don’t be so cruel and play God with all his plans
Mine again, my fondest friend where the hell you been
I’ve been struggling to get back to you
If you fight all night I’m sure you’ll gain the guts to try
It's not your fault what you’ve been through
No one plays it cool quite like you
Cause I am mine again. Every mistake that I’ve made and I ain’t ashamed to say who the hell I am
Cause I am mine again and I’m so damn glad I’m here talkin strong sober and clear like I couldn’t back then” ❤️
BRAVFUCKIN-O
My parents were drug addicts and alcoholics my whole life until I was over 20 and they finally got sober and now we are talking everyday and I’m just so thankful to have them back despite all we’ve been through. I think we all blame our parents for their faults but at some point you realize we are all humans and no one is even close to perfect. I’m just so damn glad you’re hear...talk sober calm and clear like you couldn’t back then
I'm 15, My dad died when I was 10 around December 5th 2018, that one was a hard pill to swallow, I've been dealing with stuff similar except my parents kind of pushed the limit to how much they could do, My mom currently doesn't talk to me, but this kind of music really does help me, I can go on without the one parent I have left, or with her It doesn't matter how I'll pull through some how.
You're on my bucket list of people to meet before I die. Man, you've changed my life, corny as hell, but you've changed my mentality and made me want to become a better man at 20 years old. You speak your heart, and the way you talk about your pain is powerful and I feel like that is why so many people can relate to your music, and get drawn in. You don't seem like fame would change you, keep it up, and thank you for all you've done.
You hit it spot on, my man.
Relate brother. I will meet Zach with you one day💯
Just found out about you literally today. Now 2/2 for songs you sing making me cry. Felt like god was talking to me directly.... Decided to get completely sober. Thanks man.
That's what the song says to me ..comeing back to a relationship with the father
What a phenomenal back drop you have. I am years removed from life in Oregon. Pieces of my heart are all over that land. I was so far gone for ao many years. This song is so relateable. I appreciate your transparency, truely. Thanks for sharing bits of your soul with us.
I've been struggling with sobriety for a few years now, and this song made me tear up. Thank you for your music, brother❤️
Zach- Marine Corps Vet and alcoholic. As I work on living sober, this song means a lot to me. Your music has helped me heal. And for that I want to say Thank You!!
Respect brother💚 live in the light
The first time a I heard this song, I dreamed of my dad & I singing it together one day. He was in and out of prison, AA & NA my whole life. It was always something. Inevitably he would stumble, fall, and just stay down. You finally learn to stop begging them to please get up again. Finally at 62 he was clean, for almost a year. A series of events left him homeless, but I was just on the verge of allowing him into my life again. It felt safe to extend my protective boundaries. That’s when I got the call. He’d passed. Heart attack. Coroner told me he had no substances in his system. Which made me proud and absolutely heart broken at the same time. It just felt so unfair. Right when there was finally hope. He might be gone, but to me, that’s temporary. I still day dream about the day we’re reunited, the day when finally all his demons are gone and he can be the man he was supposed to be, and damnit we are GONNA sing this song together. I can’t wait 💜
What a story. In some weird way, your dad having a hard life, helped you have a better life and showed you right versus wrong. All the best to you and your future.

You touch my soul today Mr. Bryan! Amazing song and u have a fan for life sir!
It’s 2024. I’m sitting on my porch on the stoop watching cars go past outside my trailer. I’m halfway through my dishes and I know this song is old but just so so good. That being said I’m drinking miller highlife and Evan Williams and I could not be happier with finding who I am. At 22 I swore I was gonna delete myself, 2 years later I have a place to call my own in a town that keeps me out of trouble. I can’t appreciate this song enough for speaking to me in a way for me to be happy with where I am. I love it.
That's soo crazy I'm sitting on my porch of my single wide trailer watching cars go by on my third beer listening to this song...
Most songwriters search their whole lives for that one special bar. And this guy's spitting them out so fast, we take them for granted.

With songwriting like this at your age, reminds me of when I started really listening to lyrics of songs way back in the early eighties in my late teens when I was following the careers of Elton John, Eurythmics, Sheena Easton, Prince, George Micheal and so forth, the one you remind me most of because of your melodic voice and songwriting is Dolly Parton. Whom I've followed since 1979. The way she tells her woe of tales. I see in your songwriting.
I hope you have just as good a career as she has had. You deserve it with that voice.
Cheers, from your new fan Down Under.
You are watching/listening to what greatness is all about. Guy doesn’t write a bad song, in MHO this is one of his best. The authenticity of his music and his performances always jumps off the screen at you. What a gift!
So so true. Legend in the making
Get this man everything he wants and deserves ASAP
His writing is so meaningful yet so simple and perfectly crafted. No artist carries this emotional depth to their work quite like ZB. Not to mention I have a long line of Sailors in my family so it means a lot that he loved his time in the Navy.
I needed this song so badly.. this just encouraged my soul. I suffer from anxiety and been down for a few months but managed to get back up and active. Then I hear this song and my soul gets a uplifting thanks!
Who all clicked on this as soon as it popped up 😂
In the military lol. Might not matter but this song really connects with me. Being stationed in Germany was probably one of the hardest part of my life. My health, my mental health, all went down the drain. My leadership was a hit or miss. I loved myself before I joined. Now I can't stand to look at myself in the mirror. I have 151 pages of medical records, that I can fix. It's the mental fights, exhaustion, and confidence loss that I'm unsure I can get back. The friends who've stopped talking to me, the relationships that I've had to end cause I couldn't put everything into words. I'm glad I'm doing my service but at what cost? This song might save me when I get home in 5 months. Although I'm unsure if I'll make it back, I gotta try right?
Keep on keeping on, Brother!!! 🤜🤛💪💪💪
The riff and melodies here are so warm and loving in its tone and vibe. Lyrically, this song is incredible. It felt like a campfire folktale I was hearing about myself and my experiences. This is one of the greatest songs ever made.
This is the best version of this song available to your ears
Hey just so you know seeing you performing the song is making me cry.
Zach thank you for touching my life. I’m 4 years sober and your music has truly saved my life. You’re an amazing soul
Im In rehab. And this song has been something I looked forward to since before I chose to get sober. And now. It means even more being able to truly be mine again. @120days sober.🎉
Totally get it! Congrats
God Bless you and continue to walk that path! You will not regret it!
This song means so much to me after this tough year of 2022. Getting robbed and assaulted, mental health battles, and losing my grandfather. This song means the absolute world to me. Zach Bryan, I think I can definitely reclaim myself and look back in the mirror and change who I was. Now at the end of the year of 2022, I landed a job at rivian automotive at the assembly plant in Normal, IL and I am moving down there and getting my own place to rent and that job will be the job I work until I retire. Zach Bryan, due to this song I have looked in the mirror and reclaimed myself and called myself mine again and I have finally gone back to where I was a year ago. Thank You Zach. It’s all because of this song I turned myself around into a better person.
With recent events, becoming another 22 a day statistic, you single handedly got me through the darkest days of my life. Keep up the work you do, it moves people to push through. Thank you. I AM MINE AGAIN!
Glad you are still here. Please stay.
One of his most underrated songs
i was introduced to your music by a friend of mine with something in the orange, heavy eyes, and el dorado and ive since heard every single song you’ve ever released. you’re my favorite artist of all time without question and the best artist on the planet right now. i can’t express how much your music means to me. ever since i first heard your music it became my dream to make music just like you and maybe even meet you someday. i can’t wait to see you live someday and to hear your new album, the great american bar scene. next time you go on tour just know ill be there cheering you on just like everyone else is because the talent you possess can’t possibly be expressed in words. you’re amazing. keep doing what your doing! 🫶
This song is amazing! I'm sure it was written for vets, but as a rape survivor with PTSD, it's super meaningful for me too. I definitely had to reclaim myself because trauma had completely changed me. After 12 years, I'm in a better place than I ever could have imagined back then. It's still hard, but it's something I'm learning how to live with. No matter what the trauma is, things really will get better with time, so please hang in there!

He doesn’t miss the lyrics are so deep he’s so underrated
Of many of Zack songs this is one of his best songs if you come from a broken relationship or marriage and are trying to restore the person you once were, which you know you can but the question is do you want to?
🔥🔥🔥
This kid has lived a thousand lives. That's how relatable his shit is.
Gotta shake that frost off your bones after sobering up. Thank your father in Heaven for every breath you take and new day you are given. Love you all and pray that all that read this may be free of the demon of addiction and every negative or harmful though may be held captive in the name of Yeshua of Nazareth ❤️✝️🤙
Damn I just realized that I’ve been avoiding listening to this guy cuz I was confusing him with Zac Brown. Im very glad i finally realized they are totally different, this is great
Zach Bryan, you're by far my favorite artist in any genre. You sing and write songs that speak to souls. Especially mine.... thank you. From the bottom of my heart, thank you. If everyone made music like you the world would be a much better place.
For what it’s worth man and maybe you see this but gosh, this song broke my heart. I have a lot of things going in my own little world but these words and progression of melodies you play through sent a bolt of inspiration and calmness to the madness playing in my head. I have listened to this all day. So I say thank you, and congrats to all your accomplishments my friend. I plan to cover this and I would love to send it to you. Your time and efforts towards this song are heard and respected by me man. Thank you.
