![[Live] : ONE FIGHT NIGHT 25 วันนี้!! "อเล็กซิส vs รีเกียน"](http://i.ytimg.com/vi/suVr9a6BM2g/mqdefault.jpg)
One of the most painful moments of my life was telling an ex to call me back when he was sober and hanging up on him. Getting a call 20 minutes later from a close friend to find out he jumped from a building commiting suicide.
As hard as it may be talk to everyone as it may be the last time. Give them respect and a moment. You will regret if your last words are something that is the one last drop that sends someone over the edge that you love.
My husband tried and failed two suicide attempts because of his sexuality. I'm so happy to say we're celebrating our 7 year anniversary. All it takes is one hand to hold to offer help.
I know it's been suggested, but look up Billy's original "One Voice" from when he was a boy
I love how Home Free doesn't shy away from difficult topics. Great reaction and know that you're so loved by us Home Fries.
I have watched this so many times.... Because of you i cried more than the other times.
Anyone living with these thoughts, please reach out to your local crisis line. And everyone, please, in your darkest moments, consider this: It's not the big things that make life worth living, but the small ones - a beautiful sunrise, or the stranger smiling at you, or a good book. And it's not the big achievements that make you a beautiful person, but the little things - the genuine smile you're giving someone who might be in a dark mood, or the meal you cook for your family, or the paper you quickly proofread for your classmate two hours before they have to hand it in.
Big things happen only once in a while, and while they're great, it should be the small things that make us content and happy, because they're far more common.
My son was hospitalized for suicide prevention at the age of eleven. As a single parent with an emotionally stunted ex, this was the worst night I have ever experienced. He continued with mental health issues on and off but we learned how to communicate and work through things. Then he found someone who he wanted to spend the rest of his life. She broke their engagement. There is nothing more terrifying for a parent than to receive a call from their child when the first words are, “I’m not okay” and they live two hours away. He has worked through the grief and after over a year and has begun dating again. This video is heart wrenching. Thank you for reacting (and the real reaction)!
I love a story that ends with joyful things. I am truly happy for you and your son. You must be an amazing mom. Tell your son the world is better with him in it. ❤
@carolburnett190 hugs for you and your son
I’m so glad your son is OK now, on a good path. May it ever be so! God bless you and him. Love from South Georgia.
Your son has great support from you and he thankfully was strong enough to make that call to you. Blessings to you and your wonderful son. Stay strong and safe
I am going through this with my 9yo son right now, and I am also a single mum, though my spouse died rather than a break up. It's a pain and fear unlike anything I have ever experienced to hear my baby say that he wishes he had never been born and that he's already failed at life and should just die so no one has to bother with him.
One of my favourite things about DJ is that he's genuine, and he's not afraid to show real, genuine reactions. ❤
You called this a happy ending, but it is important to remember that it is just a beginning, as the young man would still be emotionally very unstable, and the mother will also be going through a lot both over what she went through and worrying about her son's condition. The first step is embracing life, but filling it with life-affirming thoughts and activities is an on-going process.
As a person that deals with depression and as a person that has lost family to suicide, this song means soooo much.
No, this does not distract from the song, they are emphasizing the meaning of the song. Trust them to bring the right emphasis, without destroying their audience.
Billy Said in an Interview that they gave him complete control over the Video Imaging as its his Song. They also gave him the space to take the lead on this song. So Billy wanted some things to pay an homage to his original Video, IE the Gun, also the white cloth it’s wrapped in. Also the throwing of the gun into the river. This is after Billy came out as Gay in 2014. Oh and Austin the guy signing with him said his Mom told him that when he was young that he wanted to be like Billy and do what he does 😊
This song needs to reach everyone.
Knowing HF, I don't think they would ever produce a video that had an unhappy ending. They are not afraid to tackle difficult topics, but they always do so with a positive outlook. There is hope, it will be all right, you are loved. These themes resonate throughout their videos.
I don't know, "Traveling Soldier" wasn't exactly a happy ending.
@@DiamondRioFan1 Agreed. I'd forgotten that one because I only watched it once because it is just too sad.
I seen this many times. I repost it every October for Mental Health Month. I always have that same reaction every time they sing the line "toss it into the river below"
Home Free would never have put out a negative message. They aren't afraid to address difficult issues but they do it in a positive supportive way. It's why we love them. Thank you DJ. Love your reactions!
Oh my goodness. A friend lost her teenage son to suicide, and this totally broke me. Thank you for bringing this to your channel. You made me cry before breakfast. 🇦🇺
Great reaction. Give your mom a hug ❤
Not sure what you know about Billy Gilman, this is his song that came out in 2000 when he was only 12. He was the youngest male ever to make a top 40 hit in country music. The original video is a powerful one also, and his amazing voice was the same then as well. He also tried out as a contestant as an adult on the Voice (United States). Love Home Free and love Billy Gilman. Found your channel by accident, and love your channel (my daughter especially loves it because you are Aussie and you appear to be Hufflepuff possibly...lol) Love from Ohio, United States!
He was 11 when he recorded this song
You are correct!@@donnaflynn9615
Oh wow! Thanks for sharing that.
Billy Gilman originally sang this when he was only 12 years old. If you get the chance please watch Billy's video of this song. Austin and Billy sound so amazing together. You can hear the emotion in their voices. Home Free did this for Suicide Prevention week which this year is September 10th through the 16th here in the US. This song always gets in the feels and I cry. Seeing you emotion in your reaction was so sad. But I know it all came from your heart.
I LOVE HOME FREE !!! They are not afraid to make videos on tough subjects, and helping to tackle difficult subjects (as heard in So Long Dixie, Undivided & Everybody Walkin' this Land & Don't Laugh at me) & When will I be loved that you already saw. They are aware of their platform, and can they help others in need....and they often put back money from a few videos to help a cause out they believe in. They are true gentlemen.
Great comment Kevin.
I can't speak for your Mother, but as a Mother and Grandmother, young man may i say, i'm very proud of you and the love you have for your Mother and stand proud in that love, there's no other like it.Thank you.
God hears us and he is always with us. Firearms arms or not, people will find a way to commit suicide. It's the sad truth. Billy has such a wonderful voice and he and Austin sound perfect together. Their voices blend so well. I think we all need tissue whenever we hear this song.
Thank you, mama´s boy (nothing wrong with it....) for your reaction. Home Free is wonderful and you are such a lovely person!
This is sad but good. This is an issue that needs to be talked about. I cry every time I hear this. Love your reaction!
Your reaction was spot on perfect. No need to apologize for getting emotional. I think this video was done to highlight mental health and suicide prevention. It was used to enhance the song that Billy Gillman had written, so the focus should be on the video and the message it was portraying, not the vocals. You did it right. Thank you for such a wonderful and heartfelt reaction.
Home Free released this for mental health awareness month a few years back! It broke a lot of us down with its sheer power! You never know when a simple hello, smile, or a random compliment could be the difference in a person having on long enough to receive the help they need! No one bats an eye if you break a leg and get a cast, take meds for high blood pressure, or get treatment for cancer! Mental health is just another part of your overall health that some people need help with, and I'm glad that is getting to be less taboo to talk about! There is still progress to be made, but at least there's been a start!
Home Free juts hits different
Thank you for sharing your emotions with us. You made me cry at this again.
This is a song of hope, and talking about this topic openly is the only way to find out you are not the only one facing the struggle - as the person, the parent, the subling, the friend, or concerned other. I have witnessed the worst outcomes and happier endings. It only takes one moment to offer someone hope. No shaming, no blaming, just listen and tell them you are truly hearing them. You may be the light they needed.
This song makes me cry no matter how many times I hear it as well as their cover of everything will be okay
Billy's voice is angelic!! And to add Home Free-wow! Goosebumps!!
This was beautiful and heartbreaking. Don't wanna see you crying ever again.
Thank you for your heartfelt reaction. Go call your mom and collect some hugs. I hope your Patreon group sends you to a FUN Home Free song next.
DJ, you are such a great reactor and wonderful person to have been affected so deeply. This was difficult for me, as a mother, seeing this video when it was originally released by Home Free. The end gave me chills seeing the boy walk in the room and getting a big hug from his mom. Home Free did a great job with this one! Billy definitely has an amazing voice. He had the original as a young boy, I believe, in the 90’s.
@@benhauge3441 I am well aware of the original artist. I was just talking about when Home Free’s version of this song’s video was released. I am very familiar with Billy Gilman.
Thanks for your reaction! This song has a very powerful message to a very serious subject. Love that Home Free isn't afraid to tackle the issue of depression & suicide. And I like how they don't take the limelight away from the original artist.
I’ve been a fan of Billy Gilman since he was 14 years old; I even have one of his Christmas albums! He and Austin sound wonderful together and Home Free is so good at singing songs with messages that need to be heard. Just love them! ❤️ Home Free would NEVER show an actual suicide!
He was actually 11 when he recorded this song.
@@donnaflynn9615 I love his voice!
Yes Billy Gilman has one of the best voices out there you should watch all his performances on the voice from some years back
So, as a balance if you haven't already viewed it, HF's Good Ol' Country Harmony
Billy Gilman was my first concert. I was like 10 and he was like 12 but still. I still have the ticket that he signed and everything. And the fact that he sang this with one of my favorite groups now, love.
I remember when this song came out he was such a beautiful little boy you need to go back and watch his video.. beautiful reaction.. I love Home Free they always know how to put a beautiful message out..🏡🆓🏡🍟
This originally came out when I was in my early 30’s and at that time gun violence wasn’t so prevalent, whether it was against others or oneself. I felt the song had a good message though. Now, as the mother to a 15 year old, when I saw this remake, I sobbed!! Heaven forbid it could become MY reality but I also PRAY ON MY KNEES, it doesn’t become another parents reality!!! For parents out there, make sure you keep the lines of communication open between you and your kids! They are navigating a completely different world than we did!
Such a powerful song and video. As a mom it's the hug at the end that gets to me the most. I feel her relief and love.
There's nothing wrong with being a mama's boy. My son is too and I was always a daddy's girl. My dad was my rock, still is even though he's been nonphysical for almost 15 years, and I was always my son's rock and he's also one of my rocks (me being a sole parent and him being the only child we pretty much raised each other).
Great reaction as always, DJ. 🥰❤️🙏
Look up Billy Gilman and find out his story it's really sad too.. especially when he came out that poor kid went through a lot.. now he's happily married him and his husband they are absolutely beautiful together.. amazing reaction 🏡🆓🏡🍟
This topic definitely needs way more exposure. Too many struggle in silence and sometimes they choose the wrong ending. Asking for help is hard but know that no matter what you think there will be people who miss you if you leave this world. This song hits way harder now than it did back when it was first released by Billy.
I live in the States. Gun violence is completely out of control and it seems its getting easier to purchase a gun. When will we learn? Thank you for reacting to this and thanks to the person who requested this song.
Do you know how much i want to hug you right now? And tell you it will be okay?❤
I'm so glad you have a good relationship with your mom. I'm 68 years old, just lost my mom a few months ago (after losing my brother & sister too) and miss her so much. I'm sorry this one was so difficult for you ❤
I've had a few friends pass due to suicide. I bought the piano sheet music back when Billy first wrote it. I struggle to play it without wanting to cry
Loved this song when I was a kid when Billy sang it
This song was good when Billy sang it as a kid and it is still good after all these years with Billy's remix with home free such a good song
Emotional? For sure!! But trust Home Free--they will not steer you to a tough place without a very good reason!
I love how our HF guys are willing to use their platform and celebrity to speak out on real issues. Yet one more reason to respect this amazing group! ❣️🎼🥰🎶❤️
Home Free has a handful of videos that will immediately make me cry. This is one. I've been there before, and so has my daughter. Even though I know the ending of the video, it is still hard to watch. Beautifully done.
Unfortunately, what a lot of people don't understand is that when you are in that place where you are seriously considering ending yourself, it is a deep, dark, nasty place that no one WANTS to go to. Usually something drives them there. It takes a particular type of person that sees the issue within themselves, knows something is wrong, and asks for help. And then, hopefully the person they reach out to knows what to do. That's what happened to my daughter and me. It's a complicated issue without an EASY solution. We can only do our best.
Hey mate from a fellow Aussie, I live 1100 od KM's from you in the same state, Billy Gilham realesed this song in may 2000 when he was 12 years old, this complimation came out with Home Free late in Pandemic times, dis regard the video clip as the wotds to the song are just beautiful
We veterans have a program called, "Be the one". Be the one who checks on anyone you know who is struggling and you can quite possibly save a life! Thanks DJ for posting this and for your reaction and comments, you may have just saved a lot of lives!!
Such a good song. Billy has a lovely voice. The boys of Home Free just put out another announcement about mental health. They all talk in it and it’s helpful. Suicide is a permanent solution to a temporary problem. Tough subject but beautifully done. Good reaction! I’m glad you have such a good relationship with your mom. I’m a mom too and I have a good relationship with my son although I don’t see him enough. He lives far away but we’ll be visiting him soon!🥰
I have always loved this song, but right now it hits so close to home - full on ugly crying, complete with sobs, snot, all the gross stuff. My son, who is just 9 years old, has struggled with separation anxiety since he was 1, when his dad, and the trauma also affected the development of his brain's language center, which caused him to have a severe delay in his speech. He started school at 3 in a special program to help students that needed extra help for speech or occupational therapy, and he flourished, a complete social butterfly, friends with everyone. He started school on time with no problems, and while still had struggles with severe night terrors at home relating to his anxiety, you would never know it. Then came grade 3, and a teacher who took a strong dislike to my son. She constantly picked at him in class, and was even caught on camera by a volunteer yelling at him in class, telling him he was stupid and he would never be able to make it through life - because he is a math/science kid, but has zero interest in writing/journalling. Shortly after that, he started vomiting in the morning before school, had a breakdown so severe I had to take him to the hospital to be sedated, his speech is regressing. He was terrified to start school this year, the vomiting started again, and on Monday he told me he wishes he had never been born, he has already failed at life so there's no point in carrying on. I have been fighting to get him in to see someone at Mental Health about his anxiety since before Lockdown, and thankfully (sadly), I was able to get his referral fast-tracked and we have our first appointment on Tuesday. Even when I lost my husband my heart didn't break like it did hearing my 9yo baby say he thinks he's a waste of space and that everyone would be better without him. The school is giving him all the support they can while he's in their care, and I leave work early to make sure I am there to pick him up from school so that I know he doesn't have the opportunity to act on those thoughts. It's absurd how long it takes to actually be seen by those in the mental health field, though. Four years is a very long time for someone who desperately needs help, and yet that seems to be the norm these days. It is absolutely an issue that needs to be addressed, everywhere in the world.
Home Free's DON'T LAUGH AT ME will also make you cry.... makes me cry and yes every time I see this or listen I cry.
I remember when Bbilly was so young when he sang this beautiful song. This version is piwerfful.
BTW, I love your reactions and messages more than any ither reactor. You have a new fan!❤
Watched this at 5:20 in the morning! What a way to start my day! Loved it !please listen again, such great voicals
Just sending love to EVERYONE today and always. This is an incredible song and it is so hard to listen to...but it also says so much.
Look after yourselves please, the Herd will always be here for you. Sending extra love to you too DJ, sweet boy, we are all with you...
I heard the song back when Billy first released it, over 20 years ago, so I (and many of Home Free’s fans) was prepared.
I felt this so much more after you read the full note. I have never actually read the whole thing before.
OMG I was in tears as you read his note.
So glad you made it through that one. I got worried for a bit. Tissues are mandatory and I think when people request a song like this they should give you a heads up.😀 Hope you get to watch the original one with just Billy it's just as powerful. 🥰💜
Billy was not even a teenage when he sang it originally, when he came out latter in life this song really hit me harder. watch Billy's orginal
You think you were emotional on this go back and watch Billy Gilman when he was singing this at 12 years-old it'll really pull your heartstrings..
I have attempted 3 times and thankfully am still here. If you sre suffering dont do it alone. Rrach out for help you are loved. I know im a complete stranger but im here for ANYONE WHO NEEDS TO TALK I WILL LISTEN. No strings attached. I mean it.
Now imagine a12-13 year old Billy singing this . Now react to Home Free Don't Laugh at Me
Great reaction as usual!! We love you too DJ❤
This song had me in ugly cry mode. It’s a gorgeous song for a topic that needs people to really understand. I remember when Billy did this as a child and it was heartbreaking, but this is on a whole different level. The sheer intensity of emotion between the lyrics and the video will just melt you into a sobbing puddle. I LOVED the point you made about kids this age living in a small bubble that’s their entire world at the time. I own a business that employs mostly high school students and many times I’ve been the safe space they don’t have at home. Your comment just resonated with me. I think it’s a comment that perfectly describes the enormity of this problem and would help so many to understand where these kids are coming from. God bless you hon.
Billy seemed like he was just a baby when he first sang this song. It broke me then and still does. So beautiful. So heartbreaking.
HF always puts out powerful and important info for us!! Ty guys!! Austin and Billy sound incredible
😢❤ Austin and Billy sound great together ❤ nice reaction ❤
Thank you! This is a hard one, but ends well thank goodness. I am one of those mothers whose child wanted to take her life and was hospitalized 3 times. There is nothing much quite like living that way with your child. It is incredibly, incredibly painful and I feel for anyone who lives with this. Prayers for all. Billy has one of the most incredible voices! If you want to really hear a lot of his songs, pull up the songs he did on The Voice. They are just incredible! And at 10-11 he was just special (the first few lines of the video is his young voice singing this song) and he sang with country stars and on the stage a lot. Love hearing him in this and with him and Austin together -- oh man!!! Take care everyone.
Another strong collaboration, this one with Billy Gilman by Home Free. The message is extremely important. Home Free never does it half assed, always have every aspect of the presentation melding in unity and ties everything together. Thank you for reviewing this important message!!!! 💝❣
Hugs. So many hugs. This was really rough.
You did a fantastic job despite the subject matter. It's time we all watch out for each other because the world is so messed up. One small act of kindness can go miles for a lot of people. We all count no matter what the age, background or color. Thank you so much & all our love from Texas.
I love that Billy teamed up with Home Free
I've lost family & friends to suicide and although it's never an easy subject, it's one that more people need to hear. I'm glad that Home Free has openly addressed it. Another wonderful anti-suicide song that never got enough air play was Billy Joel's song "(You're Only Human)Second Wind": th-cam.com/video/YhxjNYvJbgM/w-d-xo.htmlsi=4OACRxTZJuucD4HO.
Please also remember that suicide affects all ages especially though young people and the elderly. Society tends to overlook suicide in the elderly - it's more frequent than we realize.
Thank you for existing. Not watching this for my health - thank you for the warning - but wanted to feed your allgo-rythm anyway
Billy and Austin’s voices are so powerful and emotional. They are sending out such a strong and important message. Thank you guys and Home Free also. ❤️🐇
You are a class act.
What a powerful video and powerful also your reaction. With prayers that seening this that just one person will may that call for help.
Thank you for your vulnerability during your reaction. I am a big Home Fry and I love watching your reactions. Billy’s original version as a child was about school shootings. It was a great song and video then. Definitely check out the older video also. Austin and Billy’s new version is beautiful and brings new meaning to this lovely song about hope. ❤❤❤
Thank you for your heartfelt reaction! Such an important message that Home Free wanted to share. Bless these guys for using their platform to spread awareness of a very real concern/issue. Let's just be kind to one another and willing to always listen and encourage.
This makes me cry every time, so sad! I find it hard to believe that anyone with a heard would not tear up😢! Such a difficult topic! Young kids should still not have guns! It makes me happy that Home Free is not afraid to bring up these tough topics in their beautiful music!🎶🎵
Just a little over a week ago a 13 year old shot another kid outside a mall near me, the young kid shot, I believe pretty much the same age went to the hospital and died!😢😢🤬
Sorry, to bring down the mood worse..🙁🙁. I really love your reactions!!👍👍👍😊
I once had someone tell me flat out that I was just a body taking up space. I'm glad I didn't take that to heart.
I worked in an ICU where we ended up with 2 teenagers as patient's in a short period. The young man was depressed and bullied and tried to kill himself with pills he got from a friend. We got him through and to help. He actually did well and was so upset he did this to his parents. The next was a young lady who took a fair amt of tylenol , maybe 14 or so, after a fight with her boyfriend, told her parents in the morning and could not figure out what the big deal was, it was "oniy tylenol". We could not get her to understand the gravity of what she did. She was desd 10 days later from liver failure from the tylenol.
Thank you for noting that there are other ways of hurting oneself. These comments have focused so much on guns. The lyrics were originally intended to comment on school violence, so guns were necessarily mentioned (it was recorded soon after one of the prominent school shootings). To pay respects to this version, the focus should be on the concept of self-harm and the reasons people might take that path.
My father took his own life when I was 7 years old and I have tried to take my life many times as well. I also know what it's like to lose a son because my 1st born son was born with a hole in his diaphragm and his origins went up into his chest crushing his left lung and pushing his heart to the right. He also had other birth defects but the hole in his chest was more then he could handle and at just 23 DAYS old I had to remove him from life support as he had turned purple and blue and his hand and feet were paler then white and SO COLD touching them hurt from the cold. I knew I had to let him go but it was the HARDEST thing I have EVER done so I can relate to this song from all angles and yes it made me cry. I now have my 2nd son (my rainbow baby) and I know he was a gift from my son to me and now I have a reason to live again.
As someone who fights mental health issues on a daily basis those words on the note very clearly capture what goes on in a person's mind when it hits hard. It is actually scary. To anyone going through this you are stronger than you know and you do have value. If nothing else by coming out the other side you can serve as an example to others going through this and help them. DJ I know you get tons of requests but one to consider is Matt Kennon's The Call. It's about the importance a single phone call can make
Great reaction, Home free does a lot of stuff to help others for sure
I'm destroyed by the fact that Aus\tin has announced he's leaving the group. I hope they can find someone to fill his shoes. 😞
The original Billy Gilman video is here: th-cam.com/video/-NlT-ELVWk0/w-d-xo.html
I liled the original version of the song when it came out and loved Home Free's version. Your reaction was amazing! ❤❤
I thank you for this so heart felt reaction to this strong and important message. My son's friend unfortunately was not able to find the help he needed that is why videos like this are important for awareness. Prayers for anyone out there struggling with mental health issues
Judging by the current voting on Patreon, the next one is likely to be less stressful. 👍🏽🙂
As soon as i saw what you were going to be reacting to i knew we were in for all the feels. I feel it every time i watch this video. I would rather feel than be numb, no matter how much it hurts.
Such a beautiful reaction, I am so glad that you were openly working your way through the video, the thoughts and emotions are important. I hope that you will listen again now that you have the knowledge of the outcome and please check out Billy's original.
This song is supposed to make you feel that way.
Billy Gillman was something like 10 or 12 when he first sang this song it hit hard then too...
You should see Billy Gilman's Music video of 2000 version of ONE VOICE as a young country singer.....
His voice is angelic, and the video is much different from this revival version.....
I really would lo e to see you react to Billy Gillman's original version. Keep in mind (if you do watch it)this is a 12 year old
singing.
Thank you for your very real and emotional reaction to this. It is such a difficult subject that really doesn't get proper attention, I'm so glad you and HF will address it in the best way by advising people where they can get help. Thank you.
