The part "I don't even try to have a social life because Id rather spend my time alone chilling with my demons." That one hit close.
His part was pretty tough! 😔
@Doviandi_Se_Tovya_Sagain, I know exactly how that feels too hun...😢. I'm here if you wanna talk k.
Same
Kaveman is the name
Thats a true line because that's me too
It is women who call men oversensitive. Most damage is done by women that a man opens up to and she uses it against him... Every man has that story.
I've heard that from other men as well. For my husband it was his dad who told him boys don't cry or you're a pussy. He said he would send him to school in a dress if he didn't defend himself against a bully since he was acting like a girl. He's never said he had that experience with women, but he was always the kind of guy who women chased and he controlled most of the relationships. Everyone has a different experience I suppose. I was just sharing what I had heard from him. God bless 🙏
@@MrsRealistic I'm sorry for your husband, but that is the exception, not the rule. Most men are damaged by women. Most men don't learn to be men by the lack of a father.
100% accurate.
@@MrsRealisticThat’s horrible what your husband went through.
As a father of young men, I had the responsibility of trying to teach them how to survive in this hard cruel world. I feel everything in this song because it’s true. I would be a failure of a father if I didn’t prepare them for this reality. Unfortunately the world doesn’t care about men or our feelings, and it mostly comes from women. Nobody is harder on men than the women in their lives.
@paulstewart9639 I can totally see that...especially in this day and age where women seem to be more and more selfish and all about "living your best life". I'm glad I have the husband I do, because he's teaching our boys to be strong, but he always shows them love and they know he's proud of them. God bless you my friend🙏
We as men are broken by women way more than we are by our fellow men and our brothers! Selfishness destroys!! 👍💯
Very true! There are a lot of selfish, vapid women who live for themselves... and their "best life". Too bad they'll probably die alone with 15 cats.
My 2 ex-wives broke me.
My mum broke me.
My sister broken me.
My step daughter at 4yrs old made me a patient and understanding man. She taught me at that age more than all women in my life.
Women break down men and women. Most are insufferable
As a single guy that doesnt really have any friends, i just keep the pain on the inside, and smile through the pain
We don't really y have friends either. I feel that big time. I hope you find happiness throughout your day. God bless 🙏
If yall need a friend, I'm always up for having more!
I know what you mean. I am a single guy who stays weeeeeell away from women after what I have been through. 2 days ago I was holding my feelings and pain from my best friend. We never held back how bad things have been in our lives. A friend I made on youtube contacted me and we spoke on email for sold 6hrs. I told her what is going on in my life, I am looking for solutions at the bottom of Vodka bottle and how bad things are for me. By talking to her, I decided to be honest with my best friend and tell him what is going on in my life. I feel better enough to continue till things start to change.
You just need to be heard. You will find your solution(s) yourself cos that's what we (men) are good at. We find solutions and we resolve problems.
You do want to let it out. I'm a professional NLP consultant and I listen/read more than words. What you need is someone you can talk to and not feel vunerable. Have a look at online, one to one support. I don't know which country you live in but here in the UK, we have organisations you can email to if you don't want to put yourself out there.
Me and you both brother just gotta keep pushing
@@jamescalderallen4919 here if you ever need someone to talk to brother
That one gets me "why not? We are already dead inside."
That was hard for for sure😔
Unfortunately, that's very true for far too many.
Daxs music as helped me so much man everything he says I can relate to it helped so much but this remix is summit else absolutely amazing I'm sure every man and women could relate to the words in this video it's just blown my head amazing
same here. Brothers dead, dad and step dad dead, best friend basically my brother killed himself 2 years ago pretty much died inside when he died.
I've definitely felt that.
Any man over 45 will know that the hardest word in a mans vocabulary is only 4 letters. HELP
I’m 27 & know that, since I’ve gotten out of school, asking for help is not in my vocabulary..
I tell my nephew every day: I know you can but it’s ok to ask for help
Man. I'm 32. Got to a point where I was ready to take my own life and everyone forced me to get help. I'm now in a process of healing.
I was 23 fresh out the Marines. I still don't the real meaning of asking for help and it almost ended my life twice
Focus on good things in life..
Ask for help. I know thats extremly hard to do. I was also close to ending my life.. Today i am on a new path in my life. Not been better since childhood.. You can do it
This hits home hard. If it weren't for Jesus, I'd have been gone a long time ago. Men that lean on Christ can overcome anything! God bless
Dax did a contest & these are the independent artists that he picked. He flew them out for the video, the ones on TV's couldn't make it. Here's the order: Atlus, Ben Baker, Mediary, Hailey Dayton, Brutha Rick, Phix, Skywalker Davino, Shane Frankel, The Great White & Kaveman Brown. I love this mega remix, I cry every time I listen to it ❤❤. Reminds me of my Dad.
I feel the same way. I realize what my dad and step dad went through as well!
*Ben Becker
❤
Thank you for giving the order. I'm going to look up their stuff now.
Ben baker gets me everytime!
I cry alone. Because my wife and daughter need me to be strong and take care of them. I need to be the strong reassuring pressure behind my SIL so she can be successful. My reward is watching my family succeed. But fuck its hard at times
At 50 years old this is 💯 my life and what has been instilled in me since 1974. Im raising a much different man right now. The cycle stops with me. ❤
Amen to that my friend! You're breaking that generational curse! God bless you 🙏
Amen! It has to stop somewhere. Might as well be right here!
@kennyragin that's a man right there.
Much respect, Brother, you're an inspiration, you give me hope that I can change my ways before it's too late.
@danmccaffrey2157 it's the power of kids bro. It will change you!
And let a new chapter of hope and change begin brother
58 years old, retired Navy, served in both Gulf Wars, 2nd one boots on the ground in the Sand Box. Came home a different person than the one that left. Made some horrible decisions, lost everything, was rebuilding then fucked up again. Did some time been rebuilding again. Taken nearly 10 years to get to a point where I'm proud of myself. Been with my wife since I was 18, got 3 beautiful daughters and 7 grandkids. They never gave up on me even when I did, even when I raged at them to just go away and let me go. I have stuffed so much down, bottled it up and buried it. This song opened up the places I was hiding, helped me to finally face the self I was hiding. Helped me share my load so it doesn't break my back. I've shared it with my daughter's so they can better understand what the men in their lives are going through.
Thank you for your service sir! 🫡 I will say, it breaks my heart the things men like you have to endure. I'm so glad to hear you have a supportive family and you are teaching your daughters how to understand and support their own husbands one day! God bless you 🙏
I’m glad to hear you came out alive all to often that’s not the case
@@Slenderriffic not for lack of trying. Apparently I'm not good at suicide
Thank you!! Wow. I'm SO grateful for the people who on the uniform and do the hard thing. Respect!! I'm so so glad you're fighting to come back. Please do not give up.
Welcome home and I thank you for the rights you fought to provide for me and my family!
As an old divorced fourth generation vet with TBI and PTSD, existing under a VA program for homeless vets, spending 95% my alone, watching reactions just to keep occupied. Yeah it hits close to home.
You've got a mountain on your shoulders my friend. I hope you have someone you can talk with... other vets? Thank you for your service and God bless you 🙏
@@MrsRealistic God has me and there are worse off than me. My three older brothers are vets, my dad and his three brothers were in WW2, my grandfather and so on. Being the youngest of seven, I got to see or should I say live a lot of what comes with that generational background, before I ever joined. I'm also a two different service vet. There are worse than me that took the same vow. We all live our actions and the outcomes of our steps. Like they say, it is what it is.
@user-iq5oj5pt7o Amen brother 🙏
From 1 vet to the other. You are not alone brother! Keep your head up! Stay stong
I know the feeling man Army here... I just had to get stitches in my face for the second time fighting my mind I guess in my sleep. PTSD sucks especially when it kicks hard like my experience and you just can't stop shaking and embarrassingly crying and only going to the hospital because you need to be near another person and you can hear the Dr and nurses laughing at you in the hallway! This fight don't end brother I don't know ya but I love ya and I hear ya!
I'd like to point out that men dont cry not because we are told it's not ok, but because we have learned no one is listening unless we are angry. We only feel sadness. We only express anger.
I'd also like to add that there is no help for men. Therapy is geared for and designed for profit. Thus it caters to those who will seek it most often.
Anger is how men cry
Exactly this. It’s not fathers who teach their sons to hold it in. It is learned from women. How women treat us. How my mother treated my dad. How every woman I’ve ever dated would want me to open up. And EVERY time I did. It would either get used against me in an argument later or she would just break up with me. That’s why I almost killed myself after my dog died a few months ago. He was the only thing that I knew loved me unconditionally and I couldn’t even cry when he died.
I never saw my dad cry growing up, and i think that subconsciously made me feel like crying was a sign of weakness. Once i grew up and attempted to open up in relationships showing emotions changed every single relationship i have been in, what i opened up about was eventually used against me, and used to bring me down at a time i needed someone there for me.. ive tried opening up to the women in my life, its never helped me out. Bottle it up, push it down and keep grinding. I now work on a way to show my son that his emotions will mean something to the right person/people in his life, and if they arent taken seriously then those people do not deserve a spot in his life. Im TRYING to break a cycle! ❤❤
Good for you! That's a great thing to teach your son! God bless you and your family 🙏
Same here man. Except I have never met my dad. Everytime I've opened up it was used to try strip me of my masculinity and box me in to control me. My mom told me when I was in the seventh grade, she didn't want me anymore. As a result of that I have cut most people out of my life. Growing up the way I did I can't trust ANYONE.
The sad part of this song is how many little boys are lost due to Dads that never learned how to talk and communicate feelings.
My Dad told me if I didn't stop cryin' he'd give me something to cry about. Yeah, it was taught...😢😞✌️❤️
I'm sorry you went through that. No child should be told they can't cry, (or adult for that matter!) Children don't have the cognitive ability to reason the way adults do.
My husband's father (and mine) did the same, and when my husband started to say that to our son, I reminded him of how much that hurt him. It happened once. Thank God we've broken that curse in our home.
same here i never cry in front of offer people
@@skullyradford9746 letit out, you wil have to fight your own sef in order to do it, it took me years to finally allow myself to cry. once you can though, you will opem that door.
I know that phrase well brother I can't find myself to cry in front of people today Im 32 yrs old now it's crazy
Not gonna lie the two ladies in this song verses hit hardest to me because most women I know wouldn't take the time to try to understand.
Very true!
Good woman do!
Seriously.. chocked me up.
I've honestly never meet or experienced a women that didn't play games or use
Dax is genius!!! To pull all of these guys together.... His music is therapeutic...
The hardest part is, society shows you that men dont cry. If a father doesn't tell his son dont cry, society will sadly show him why he cant cry. It`s a thing many men learn on their own even if nobody explained it.
Men confide in their own "tribe of men", it is of utmost importance for a man to have his tribe.
I agree 💯
Yes!!
A stay at home mom is the most noble job that you can do. You are raising humans..
It's the most important job there is.
Thank you so much. I truly appreciate that! 🙏
I hugged my husband tight after hearing this. I’m so grateful. And we’re trying our hardest to ensure our sons grow up to be strong but loving and feeling men someday. I’m very blessed to have a husband that DOES confide in me. We’ve been through some painful ish and I’ve seen him at his lowest. It only increased my respect for him. Too many women use a man’s heart against him… it’s cruel and twisted when a woman claims to want that kind of openness and then use that against him. 💔
I agree 💯 with you! And by the way, I'm GenX from 75 as well 😉👍
We won't talk about what is going on with us. It's not taught, we are built that way. It's great that he is built different, this song speaks to MOST men.
At 7:18, I think its important to mention that although some fathers might teach men its not okay to be emotional, a big reason men continue to resist showing emotion later in life is that there are many women that continue to enforce that idea. Thank you for reacting to this!
That's a great point! I've heard other men say this as well. My husband said his dad told him not to cry or be a wuss. But I know of plenty of men who have commented that it was their mother or women in their lives who told them to "man up". 😪
As a father of three... You are an awesome person, and we need more people like you in the world.
Aww thank you! That's very kind! 😊🙏
This song hits every thing right on the button. My mom heard this song and cry's everything she hears it. She said I never thought of what men have to go through on a daily life.
Only place a man can cry is alone... believe me
i never saw my dad cry until one day he apologize to me for not having the money to send me to college....it hurts me too cause for me he's the perfect dad.. yet for him he's not enough...🥹🥹🥹🥹
Our kids and family become our entire world. Being a father myself it hurt so bad that i couldnt afford a car for my youngest when i bought all his siblings cars when i wasnt struggling. You are our future and not being able to invest in your future probably broke his heart. Its a sad day when a father feels worth more dead than alive......
Just give your dad a big hug I know what you mean I never seen my dad cry never seen him fold going to work everyday and now me and my old man work together side by side and I tell him I get it now dad I get your pain thank you for everything and teaching how to be a man and take care of my family
Dax is a great artist with incredible integrety who is a rising star. May Dax continue to shine his light on all the dark places.🦋
🥰🥰Hugs from a Canadian Dear🇨🇦
Hello to my fellow Canadian! 👋
I love that he let's others into his songs.
I know I’m late to this conversation but I wanna thank you for doing this reaction and even though we don’t know each other, we’re all brothers a sisters in Christ and watching your video today has gotten me through another day. So thank you my sister 🙏🏼 God Bless you.
Aww thank you sir! I truly appreciate that! God bless you my friend! 🙏
Ladies when you ask a man what he's thinking and he says " nothing ". Nine times out of ten means he's struggling but refuses to show his weakness.
😔💯
I followed the family path and joined the service at 15; I had to wait till my 16th bday to go to boot. Been on my own ever since. My Dad was my hero and when he passed I knew I was truly on my own for real- no more lifelines! I hope to this day that I’ve lived my life in a way that would make him proud! I’ve been with my 2nd wife for over 30 years, I’d be lying if I said it was all butterfly’s and balloons, it was far from that, but I have 2 beautiful children, one grown and married and my son, my precious son, he amazes me! I couldn’t be prouder, my only regret is that my Dad wasn’t here to see the amazing person I raised! I’ve turned my boy on to this song because nothing I’ve found says it better. Peace and love!
You're a good man who I'm sure he's proud of... looking down on you every day. God bless you my friend!
I have a strong mixed friend group and every time I feel down they pick me back up and listen, helps a ton
That's wonderful to hear! From other comments I've gotten, it seems rare these days!
Iron sharpens iron...amen! Even if a man has a support group, the journey is a long one and as we grow older those around us begin to reach the end of their journey and we all know that we are going to go before our wives and before our children and providing for them after we are gone...making sure the support for them to survive and prosper is in place is an ever increasing burden even as our bodies decline and our skills deteriorate...Sisyphus pushing the rock up the hill...and yet we cannot stop, we cannot waver, each of us is called to give our last full measure of devotion because we love too deeply to do anything else, even if we cannot express it.
That was beautifully put. Thank you John 🙏
Well said. I'll cry in my pillow when I get home ilike a little girl, is something I say to the guys when we are killing ourselves on the roof, and it's 137°. They all know how true that statement is, for all of us.
I worked on a couple of Texas roof back in my twenties...God bless you all...@@reallythough4591
@reallythough4591 Whenever I go by those men working on the roads (or the men who put on our new roof last year) I thank God that we have strong men to take care of so much in our society! I was constantly going outside last summer asking if those guys needed any cold water! They were literally DRENCHED in sweat. 107 that day here in Texas!
I’m 50 yrs old and every man can relate to this song. You may have people that care about you now but every single man is either going through this or has went through things at some point in their life. I know women and men go through things but it’s hard being a man because it’s in our nature to be stoic and tough and reinforced by society. I loved your reaction.
Thank you! I appreciate that! God bless you my friend! 🙏
I haven't cried in 20 years, since I was 17, when i saw ny grandfather withered from stomach cancer, I wailed deafening for an hour in the foyer of the hospital, I haven't cried since, not even at his funeral. And God knows many times i needed to, I can feel it, I get up and keep moving. Part of me loves the validation of a video like this, part of me says leave me alone, I defy you to intervene as I break, and build alone. Until the woman sang, I softened a bit. I'll keep working.
God bless you. I pray you can let it out, even if it's just by yourself. 🙏
It'd been drilled in my brain that I can't cry, that even during my dad's funeral in 2018 I held them back the entire time.
@@jessefee4814 😪
Brilliant video, iron sharpens iron. Lots of love and respect for the men ❤
Much appreciated! Yes, our men out there need support!
Man this song hits hard. A bad woman broke me… but I’m happy to say a good woman helped save me. I can assure my fellow men that such women DO exist. And I’m blessed to have found one.
All is never lost! 😊🙌
It's bigger than men not being able to express their emotions. It's the social exploitation of manhood that drowns men into the deep sea of loneliness. I think a bigger part of the 'therapy' lies in society understanding the protective role of manhood and appreciating it rather than abusing it.
Very well said! Thank you 😁
i cant hide....im alone all days , i cant go out, i am truely broken, im a good man but noone will ever know.....thank you for making the vid, you guys are great
God bless you my friend 🙏
Learned that being vulnerable with someone just usually leads them to using it against you
I've heard that comment a lot and it makes me sad. I'm not surprised that women these days are like that. They've been ruined by 3rd wave feminism. God bless 🙏
@@MrsRealistic men are taught growing up how to treat a woman and etc about women. But I haven’t seen a woman be taught how to treat a man.
@MrFwh1027 Wow, that's deep! You're right! I hope we can change that with our daughters. 🙏
This is a womans nature if she doesn't combat it with a true belife in God.
@@kNightmare1994 there's some good women out there. I was cheated on and divorced by my first wife. I didn't think I'd ever find anyone worth marrying. My current wife treats me so well. It's hard but they're out there. There's still some worth having.
I love how some artists are able to to take thoughts that most have and present it in such a beautiful and universal way. I feel everyone should be free to express how they feel, both man and women. If only we all listened to what each other ways saying instead of allowing ourselves to be triggered by our own personal story. If anyone one reads this and feels alone just know the world NEEDS YOU. You are loved and are appreciated. Love ya's all.
Amen to that my friend!
Something to think about.... in every "story" we get told as kids, when we're small and trying to figure out how to fit in this big world... "A Hero Saves the Day"... we're taught from nursery rymes and disney movies and kids storys that the hero is always the big strong silent type that does what has to be done, right wrong or indifferent... Ghaston doesnt have feelings, Prince Charming doesnt have feelings, they're just big and tough and never have to cry... ... then we turn to our parents, who deal with things that are SUPER Scarry to us as kids, and just brush it off... Not because theres any ill intent but because as adults we understand how to overcome hurdles in life with confidence, ... so, yes, there has been plenty of "bad parents" who screw their kids minds up... but in this case, i dont think that EVERY kid/now man came from a screwed up family... we grew up with hero's that never had to express emotion... so some of us dont know how to.. and asking for HELP, meens admitting to yourself and someone else that you dont "have life all figured out" ... and that can really rock a persons confidence, especially when times ARE tough...
Nothing breaks my heart more than to see a man lose his battle in the war we all fight
Husbands and wives should feel like each other is their safe place! So thankful for my wife of 38 years! I appreciate your attitude!!!!😊
That's so true! I always feel safe when my husband is with me!
Thank you for your thoughtful remarks and understanding the struggles we all have as humans trying to make it through the challenges of life and relationships.
Thank you for watching! 😁🙏
My time in prayer is my peace. I am blessed to have my group of men in church to confide in, I definitely can't open up at home.
Just listening to this song made me had to fight back the tears. Absolutely beautiful guys, keep it 100
God bless you my friend 🙏
All 3 variants of this song are great. His most recent is a collab with Darius Rucker and I think Darius reached out to Dax to do it.
Yes, I did that one as well. It was beautiful!
My biggest issue with this remix is they didn't add Darius Rucker, his might be one of my favorite editions to the song and I wish that they added him to this version
@@josephcurreri9289 I agree. I like Darius' verse he added. The Mega Remix is quite a bit older though is why.
there is nothing like a meaningful hug
Amen 🙏
I've tried 3x now to share this to my wife. Your reaction is the best I've found on TH-cam, a woman that understands. I send it to her because I have an extremely hard time expressing myself. She watches it but she doesn't understand I'm crying out for help or encouragement it's always "wow that's sad." I don't know.
I wish I had an answer. I've had a lot of men tell me their wives don't seem to care. I don't understand how a spouse couldn't at least try to show some empathy with something like this. God bless 🙏
I feel Phix hard in this song. My gun was a bottle of pills, but the end goal was the same. I'm an alcoholic and I was still drinking at the time. I felt like everyone would have been better when I was gone. My best friend saved my life. She walked in just at the right time and swatted the pills out of my hand. She told me to suck it up and stop being so damn proud and get help or she would have to go. That was what I needed.
I'm so glad your friend was there for you and that you're still here with us!
What a wonderful reaction and thanks for the insights on each verse. Not sure how many times I'm listening this song(s) but still brought tears for me. This great song deserves grammy. Dax always makes impacts.
I think this song has opened a lot of eyes and hearts!
@@MrsRealistic thanks for responding, appreciate it. Strongly suggest you react to Devil's Calling, Life, Searching for a Reason, Child of God, Suffocating.. and others..
I love how you and ur husband worked together as a team glod bless ur family .... this song hits home big time iv tried to she my wife this song and she doesnt want to hear it after 10yrs then I found out she was divorcing me and I gave up everrything and all bad ppl to change and be a better man so now I got nobody to talk to
I'm sorry you're going through that! Divorce sucks, but if you're with someone who doesn't support you emotionally, it might be the better option. I hope you find happiness again. God bless you. 🙏
@@MrsRealistic Iv never been a quieter and yes I get none but thank you God bless you and your family 🙏💯
I’m so thankful for this track as it gives a voice to all brothers who feel they don’t have that voice about their mental health
Amen 🙏
The first one I watched was the duet with Darius Rucker, it broke me. That video hit's hard. Thank you for doing this one
Yes, I did that version as well. It was so beautiful!
I agree. That was a great song. Darius was emotional in that song as well. Definitely resonated with me.
so nice to watch this again with you. makes me relieve the emotions of my first listen
Thank you. I kept having this video blocked when I tried to upload it and it would only stay viewable for a couple of weeks. This time I waited a full month before making it public to make sure it wasn't blocked again! LOL! Thankfully, it's safe from that now! Being a reactor, we sometimes hit roadblocks!
I have seen many reactions to this song, I have never been this blurry eyed while watching the others. Thank you!!
Aww, I hope that's a good thing!? God bless 🙏
Absolutely 💯💯💯💯💯 brilliant song amazing impact fantastic lyrics amazing impact thanks everyone involved brilliant song
Thank you so much for your heart. I'm 70 this year and this song has surfaced such a variety of emotions in my soul. I have always worn my emotions on my sleeve. I made so many mistakes in my past with my kids and my first marriage. Im retired now and have grown so much over the years, and God willing I will be starting a Story group for others, probably men, to have a safe place to open up and share with out shame. Dax's brutal honesty is a much needed breath of fresh air. God bless you and your husband.
Thanks so much! This is what men need...a place where they can open up without judgment! Thank you for your lovely comment! God bless you🙏
Some of us didn't have the father to learn from and this song holds so much of what men really go through
Dammmmm so true we all have pain is indervidual we can empathy .. caring is sharing ❤😂
Still, song won’t do a damn thing here in Oz. Won’t hear this on Radio.
The Sad part is even with this song that so many men and women have seen, it will still stay the same. I absolutely love this song and shared it once and it got turned around. So that being said won't ever share it again. All I have to say is Just keep moving forward and don't give up. Keep your head up and fight them demons.
I just wana cry an be given a hug and be told everything will be ok…that’s the best way to describe how I feel right now.
I pray you get that hug! It's so important! God Bless you!
1st time hearing this mexa remix and it is puuuure gold, such an awesome message. I'm lucky my woman has my back just as much as I have hers ❤😍
It's so important to be a team! God bless!
Very Beautiful song Dax ,atlus, and all the rest that Dax Brang in for this is just pure ❤🙏👍🏻
I was that person who tried to unalive myself jumping from a bridge and to still be here years later, and still having nobody to talk to for help.
I pray you find peace and healing. God bless you my friend! 🙏
Sorry to hear that. I am a 2x survivor of same. My x threw it in my face that I couldn't even do that right. That was my first wife.
Thank you for your awesome reaction. Phix and his part always gets me as I struggle with that specific aspect of life. Being a vet and recently divorced and fighting just to see my kids, it's all a rough go but stuff like this helps me get through most of the struggle. So again, thank you!
Thank you for your service sir, and I pray things work out with your children. God bless you my friend. 🙏
You're reaction hit me. Wish more ladies understood what we go through. I literally have no one to talk about my feelings with. I'd never burden my wife with it especially when I know she has her own stresses.
I hear this same sentiment from a lot of men. I can see both sides...altho I don't know that keeping things from your spouse is healthy. JMO...but I also understand men who don't. I guess it depends on what it is. I'm sure there are things my husband doesn't share with me as well. God Bless and thank you for your kind comment!
Saying it is OK to cry is as good as saying it is OK to laugh. Many a true word said.
Agreed 💯
This colab is actually the *first* version of the song I'd heard. It has been, since my discovery of it, my favourite work of art. I cannot believe what Dax caused here and am so grateful to him for starting this. The verses that came after the original are still striking hard. I bawl everytime I hear either version.
Yup, I think this one hit me harder than any others because of the diverse thoughts from all the men and two women!
I can never ever ever share my real feelings or emotions. It is a big no no. Thank you for covering this song. Thank you, Dax, for giving us a voice. It is hard to be a man and deal with daily feelings and fears. I deal with it best, I know. Providing is my is the only name of the game. ❤
I hope you are happy. God bless you. 🙏
Thank you so much Mrs. Realistic for your true love and feelings believe me as a father of 2 and husband we so much appreciate our women thank you so much
Thank you for your lovely comment. God bless 🙏

From up north nidderdale north Yorkshire love and respect from the UK 👍👍🌟😀😀 amazing channel 👍
Dax open versus every song. He always shows what others do with his stuff
I'm 65 years old. , I'm a Black man a Father and a Grandfather. I've been through a lot in life., I remember when my wife passed I had no one to talk to, I'm also a veterans. So I when to the Veterans Administration to speak to a Psychiatrist and all he wanted to do was give me medication?. I talk more to his secretary than I did with him while I was waiting on him. Meaning it's hard for men to find someone to talk to. I say that because that wasn't the only place I when to with the same results. No one is telling us everything is going to be okay.
That truly breaks my heart... there are so many therapists out there who don't actually help! Thank you for your service sir and God bless 🙏
It’s okay to cry, just not in front of your women. Doing that is the death of a relationship.
It wasn't for ours. I suppose some women might be that shallow tho. 😞
I let the father of kids cry in front of me anytime any day anywhere
Once you do this they won't see you as strong anymore
You couldn't be more wrong... Yeesh
I have seen it too many times with ladies I know. Enough to make it a rule, I don't disagree with Alice. I am glad that others have different experiences.
I got broke in so many ways in my life, that i cry when i am alone or when i am drunk and it break thru my shield of lonelyness! With every da or failure i lost myself more and more, but as a man i have none to talk to, because i have to be strong for My Daughter, mother, sister and nice and nephew. But i am all alone with My own pain! Sociallife is my fear, and my place to cry is dark and lonely. 🥺💪 Thank you Dax for that Masterpiece!
Thank you for sharing your story. I pray things get better for you and you find happiness and peace. God bless you.
This is conversation my father had with me in the hospital, while he was dying…. Superbly done
We were raised to suck it up. The life ive lived still eats me inside
Listening to this song really hits home because i lost everything from my family too friends and i still bottle things up and fight with my own thoughts
I just found your channel and this video. I was personally raised to never show others your pain and sadness. Because others will see you as weak and use it against you. I have my walls up that most other men do, but they come down for no one. People only see the cracks I let them see. Thank you for your take, your man is very lucky.
Thank you for sharing! It seems to be the theme amongst most of the men who have commented. 😢
As a man one of my biggest fears is being a father and messing it up. Thank you for what you said ❤
We're all going to mess up... no one is perfect. I think being aware that you're scared to mess up is actually a great sign that you'll be a better parent than you think!
At my grandma’s funeral I didn’t cry until my grandpa finally broke down, and then I knew it was ok to cry.
You and your husband are amazing, I saw his reaction when listening to this song and was right there with him.
This song is amazing and breaks me down evertime I hear it. Just so beautiful 😢.
Please continue on what you all are doing and God Bless you both!
Thanks so much! That's very kind! God bless 🙏
Its so true these words.we guys keep everything cropped up inside.and always smiles but the pain behind those eyes is huge and unheard!!worring where rent will come from,next meal,next tank of gas,and what hurts the most is when one of youre kids tells you they are hungry!!😢😢.the hole that words create in dads heart is bigger then anything in the world can do!!but you cant take youre own life,cause there is no pension or provident fund.who will provide!youll never rest when youre gone!!ill never cross over if another man has to provide for my loved ones!!the pride in our hearts are so huge its hard to describe!!its honestly hard but also the biggest privlage to be a dad.hats off to all the hard working dads out there!!keep fighting.
Amen! God bless you my friend! 🙏
I rarely comment, but thanks, I really enjoyed it, for very different reasons! Warm greetings from Germany
Thank you kindly! Cheers from Texas! 🍻
Over all I'm just gonna put out there glad I'm not the only one that feels these feelings at any point in time
Its taught to all of us, its survival
You know what’s sad? I’ve intentionally watched sad videos to try to get myself to cry and I haven’t been able to 12 years. The last day I shed a tear was when I was holding my dad’s hand before he went back to have heart surgery. Before that, i haven’t cried since I was 12. I’m 27 now and I’ve cried once in 15 years because the tears were abused out of me by a neighbor.
God bless you my friend. I'm sorry you've got to hold that in!
First - thank you Dax for doing this MEGA REMIX and Mrs Realistic appreciate you being real, open and transparent. I'll just say that I can not stop watching this video and each time I get emotional, almost like therapy in a good way. I shoulder a bunch but I'm also transparent and cry easy but.................I also hide and shoulder a bunch. People always think I'm this happy, positive guy but alot of that is because that's what allow others to see because I want to be there for them. But inside I'm really struggling / hurting. God Bless this song and these artists.
I hear that from a lot of guys here! God bless you my friend 🙏
this is one reason I love Dax... he is the only person that is in this video that I have seen before now... that's something
As a woman, I’m just here to say thank you, men have no one to lean on, you men are our heroes, even if we don’t say it enough!! We love you and appreciate your dedication
Thank you for adding this patty! 😁👍
This is perhaps the absolute best and most thoughtful reaction video I've ever seen. I love this song since the first time I heard it, and I love your commentary on it.
Aww thank you so much! That's very kind! God bless :)
Dax's two songs smack the shit out of mens soul...why? Cuz its sooooo true. Thank you for covering this and thank you to Dax for these songs.
I'm glad you enjoyed it 😊 Thank you!
When the song came out I sent it to my wife to try and help her understand how I was feeling. She never listened to it. We are now getting divorced and that along with a sick mother and a sister who is a triple amputee stretches me emotionally. I think I would rather be on my own or live with my son than continue feeling unsupported, unloved and unappreciated in a relationship. Once the dust settles I hope to be able to work on myself. Respect to you and your family and everyone who this song hits them in the feels.
I'm glad you're not sticking around to be unappreciated! Things will get better! There's always a brighter day, even when things seem their worst. God bless you and your family 🙏
You're such an empathetic, genuine human being! It feels so good to know that people like you exist! While i'm not a fan of modern computer-generated music, nor of the way this song was produced, artistically speaking, the struggle is nevertheless the same! You're a breath of fresh air and merely watching your reaction was enough for me to relax and have hope for a better future between men and women in this declining social landscape of the Western world today. Thank you! Please hug your husband and children! It's going to be okay! 😊
Thank you! That's very kind! I just hugged my husband this morning before he left for to l work as a matter of fact... the kids aren't up yet 😉😁 God bless 🙏
I was taught the reason men don't show these emotions in front of their women is part of their role as the protector and provider. We're meant to be the bedrock of the relationship and cannot show fear or weakness. We have to create the facade of being prepared for everything to provide a feeling of security for our children and spouse. And the fear of being thought of as anything less by the ones we love is worse than the sacrifice of our own feelings. I was taught to be a Duck, calm and serene on the surface and paddling like a madman underneath. stay strong borthers...
This hit me in the feels HARD. I actually lost my husband back in 2020 from a tragic accident. He went for a walk after we had an argument and was hit by a vehicle. He was one who loved hard and was sometimes afraid to show his emotions, because I would sometimes tell him to stop! I took him for granted the last few years of our 20 years together and I hate myself for that. I would give anything to have him here to truly show him the love and support he deserved. So, ladies make sure to love and support your man today, because no one is promised tomorrow.
I'm so sorry for your loss! My husband almost died from Mono last July. It was the most terrifying thing I've ever experienced. Our children were so scared as well. He was in the ICU for a week and we didn't know if he was going to make it. Thank God he did. I knew then that I would be a shell of a person without him. Thank you for sharing your story. I hope you find peace and healing. God bless you 🙏
@@MrsRealistic thank you and I’m glad that you’re husband is okay!❤️
Growing up it was understood that men don't show or talk about what they were going through.
Finally after going through some serious things in my early 20's, and nearly ending it all, I chose to get help and it was a long process (was in therapy weekly for a year) I was finally able to get myself back... Talk Therapy was the best decision ever
I'm so glad to hear that! A lot of men in the comments have said that therapy doesn't work. But I truly believe that you have to find the right one. God bless you my friend 🙏
