Dude , I’m a 37 year old man from New England , who has been hardened by poverty and long hard winters. I’ve nailed and clawed for every inch forward in life. Hardship is all we know out here in Northern New Hampshire. This rendition, of this song has me feeling things I haven’t since I was a child. Well done.
my man, I used to live up that way. I know what you mean! If you ever get a chance, check out Thirsty Moose Taphouse in Portsmouth, NH. If it's the same as it was 5 years ago, they had the best wings I ever tasted in my life. I would like to go back in time and enjoy those once again. Anyway, cheers bro
I'm a 50-year-old man, and I haven't cried in a long time. You my brother shook my whole Foundation. Somehow I feel so very free and so very sad all at the same time. You are a rather extraordinary spirit....thank you. #heavymedicine
Maybe we need tears to cleanse ourselves. Whatever has gone on in your life, remember that sometimes we need to first forgive ourselves. We can hold guilt that really doesn't belong to us, and responsibility for things that we didn't cause. Try to be especially good to yourself.
The first time I heard this song, I had to just sit down and cry. Except for the second verse about how the house was built, this song is my life. I can close my eyes and see every single room, nick-nack, the pictures on the walls, and yes-my bedroom was upstairs, it’s where I did my homework and practiced playing guitar. My favorite dog ( Suki) really is buried by a tree in the old backyard. My parents are gone now, having died six months apart back in 2000. I have only been back home once since then, and remember passing by our old house and wondering what the people living there today would think if I walked up onto the front porch and knocked on the door. Hearing Teddy’s version of this song, with so much emotion, brought back more memories I hadn’t thought of in a long time...thank you for that. There is an old song by Waylon Jennings that you would knock out if the ballpark, too....”Rose in Paradise”. You have an amazing gift, Teddy, and the emotion in your voice is amazing. You don’t just enjoying singing, you don’t just use your voice...your entire soul sings, and it’s beautiful.
I absolutely love and feel this song Teddy .. we had a tough up bringing ,we didn’t have much but we all loved our house that built me and the roads we grew up in around it .. this song has helped me think , I could actually now return there since loosing Dad and Mum in the last 12 years and our house now being someone else’s house that now builds them . You are a true talent Teddy your voice is heaven sent and the songs you sing just ooze with soul and feeling ..! Thank you for sharing this song and reminding me in bad times we can go back in time remember our happy memories and begin to heal inside.. can’t wait to see you live in London February in Kentish Town England… Teddy you rock dude!😊
Tomorrow is veterans day. I miss my friends I served with that didn't come home. @Teddy Swims, this helped me. I still hurt quite a lot but this allowed me to let go and cry. You have my deepest thanks for this.
This has always made me cry. My daddy's house was sold by the state and today marks 1 year of his death. He is a retired veteran and I will go sit with him by his headstone and play this. Thank you Teddy! Love all of yer music 🎶 ❤
You sir, reach into my heart and your words hurt and heal and sometimes make me cry. I dont think there would be anything you couldn't sing. Blessings from 73yo lady in Australia.
Oh, Teddy. This song.... Painful childhood for me, currently trying to settle the estate and sell the house that built me. I've always loved this song, but your voice left me sobbing and really feeling it, deeply. Thank you for sharing your talents.
My mom passed away from Cancer 9 years ago at the age of 54. This was her favorite song and makes me think of her. You did an amazing job on this.....Kudos ❤❤
Found this man by mistake one night about 5 years ago been listening to him ever since that wonderful night..he's just amazing to listen to. He's brought a little old country back into this so called new country that I don't care to much for. So as long as he keeps singing his songs I'll be listening..God Bless you Chris!!!
Absolute perfection, Teddy! That chord progression on “if I could just walk in, I swear I’d leave” was *chef’s kiss* ❤️❤️ Keep those covers coming, man. Every one is amazing. Be blessed.
Oh Teddy!! Once again, your voice is like butter! You have so much soul and always take me on the journey the song takes you on. You are the real deal! Soak up you your success because it is long overdue! You and your voice are magic!
First found Teddy during the pandemic. Watched some of his spectacular covers. I knew when I heard him sing, he had it. He was going places. Amazing voice, amazing artist. 🙏🏻
This mans voice was created in heaven and inserted in Teddy’s DNA….he had to go through what he has to dislodge it! Thank God it has blossomed and touched millions! Yowza he’s stunning!😎❤️🇺🇸
Reminds me of every year since I was little, my dad and I would take a 3 day trip to the Appalachian's to Bald River Falls. Best memories of my life, love you dad ❤
You know when you play an old video game and it's to feel like you did when you played it first, not because it's fun? This is the same feeling this song gives me. You're a blessing, Teddy.
You touched my soul and calmed my spirit just now and I thank you. I can’t wait until the day comes when we can all travel again safely and your fans can gather to watch and hear you perform in person. You have many loving fans here in Nova Scotia, Canada. Keep on keepin’ on, you Rock!
Wow...only just come across this on a post on Facebook so decided to listen to the full rendition on TH-cam. This blew me away and brought tears to my eyes...took me back to memories of my family home where my family lived for 50 years until sadly my parents passed away. Saw Teddy in a recent concert in Nottingham, UK and what a voice. Sings with passion and soul. Truly talented.
Got me right in the feels. .😭 so deep. Lost both parents when I was 16 . Have walked by our old family home a few times over the years . I day dream about walking in the garden , going into my old bedroom .
You have a voice that is heartbreaking & I mean that in the most absolutely positive way. U don't sing notes, you sing emotion set to music... awesome brother...
Teddy, I'm rarely at a loss for words, but you have made me sit back in my chair and cry (somewhat happy tears, more on that in a moment)... I found you literally 15 minutes ago and I am hooked. Of course, I've only listened to your covers so far, but I can't wait to listen to your originals. As for the tears... music is in me and I can find meaning in almost every song I listen to, but this particular song, Miranda Lambert's "The House That Built Me" touches the depths of my soul and elicits the most intense emotions and reactions....it has a place in my heart... I never thought I'd feel that same response by anyone other than Miranda Lambert, but before you hit the first note in the 3rd line of the first verse, the tears began to fall uncontrollably. THANK YOU so much for sharing your talent and making me feel both happy and somber (it's a good thing!). :-) I see you are going to be in Philly in just a few days...I may have to change my schedule so I can attend!
I love Miranda's voice, and this is one of my favorite songs of hers. But man, this guy gets me teary eyed too. That last chorus, his face says it all. Love it
Teddy, my brother, you have a gift that the vast majority of vocalists do not possess!... You have the uncanny knack of being able to hop music styles flawlessly!
Teddy Swims, you just have such a pure and natural voice that can transpire all and every feeling from every song you sing. You, Teddy, (and not just your voice... YOU,) are a gift to every pair of ears that choose to listen indefinitely with the heart.
I don't really listen to country but I make an exception for Miranda Lambert and Pistol Annies and this is my very favorite Miranda song, it's gotten me through the last several years of grief after losing both my parents. To now have one of favorite artists cover it is more than I could've ever asked for and more... The emotional reaction I had listening to this is further proof of your phenomenal talent and just how much heart and soul you put into every note out of your mouth. Thank you guys for putting so much of yourselves into your music, it doesn't go unnoticed or unappreciated.
I don't know why but the timing of this is sooooo perfect. I've been missing my parents for couple of days and hearing this song. I'll call them right now and check on them for sure. Thanks TEDDY
I revisit your amazing version of this song from time to time. I close my eyes and remember my mom’s house and all the memories I had growing up. When she passed the house was sold and I miss her dearly. This songs helps me see her again. Thank You
Sweet song Teddy. So much truth in it that it took me back to my childhood home, and all the good times and bad times that came with it. Because it's not just the good times that build us, but the bad just as well. Keep singing brother. You're making a difference in this crazy world.
Teddy, I only discovered you and your amazing voice recently and I am hooked!! I close my eyes, turn on your voice and fly away. The voice of a generation. Thank you xo
Said goodbye to the house i grew up in today. after momma passed we had to give it back to the bank. I sat in the fort we built as a kid. this year has been the hardest and most alone i have ever felt.
Remember...Goodbye is never permanent. We always have the memories of everything that made us who we are today and even our future selves. Yes, some of those memories hurt, but at the end of the day...they are what led us to where we are. They taught us what not to do as well as what *to* do. After the childhood I went through...this knowledge is still what gets me through the bad times, and even the good times, that I face...even today.
Kendall, I hope that you are well. Always treasure the good memories. Do your best to keep old friendships, and keep your family connections strong. Your momma would want you to move forward, live well, be loved, and thrive.
This song always makes me cry but I love it. You did a beautiful job. You have been so blessed with an incredible voice! Thank you for sharing your talent with us.
🎵 lyrics 🎵 I know they say you can't go home again I just had to come back one last time Ma'am I know you don't know me from Adam But these hand prints on the front steps are mine And Up those stairs in that little back bedroom Is where I did my homework and I learned to play guitar And I bet you didn't know under that live oak My favorite dog is buried in the yard I thought if I could touch this place or feel it The brokenness inside me might start healing But Out here it's like I'm someone else I thought that maybe I could find myself If I could just come in I swear I'll leave Won't take nothing but a memory From the house that built me Mama cut out pictures of houses for years From better homes and garden magazine Plans were drawn and concrete poured And nail by nail and board by board Daddy gave life to mama's dream I thought if I could touch this place or feel it The brokenness inside me might start healing But out here it's like I'm someone else I thought that maybe I could find myself If I could just walk in I swear I'll leave Won't take nothing but a memory From the house that built me You leave home you move on And you do the best you can I got lost in this whole world And forgot who I am I thought if I could touch this place or feel it The brokenness inside me might start healing But out here it's like I'm someone else I thought that maybe I could find myself If I could juste walk in I swear I'll leave Won't take nothing but a memory From the house that built me
Thank you for the lyrics. I stopped by the house I grew up in 40 years later and asked the new owners if I could come in. The people were gracious enough to let me tour the house. So much had physical changed, but that is my safe place in my mind. So many memories are in that house.
I am so in awe of you Teddy. I can't explain what your music does to my souk. I got tickets to see you in Kansas in a few weeks and I am so full of positive energy just ready to see what you have in store. Please don't ever stop singing. I love you ur❤
Makin' a girl weep over here. This is my song for my grandparents. Reminds me of growing up in their house; same one they still live in now. Thank you for doing this song so much justice. You brought me to tears for all the best reasons. 🖤 Keep sharing that incredible gift of yours. You're touching hearts you'll never even meet, my friend. I'm blessed to have heard this.
When you're 25 and struggling with the change of growing up and becoming an adult, this song hits different than it ever did. Absolutely well done my dude 🖤💜
I’m not kidding when I saw this I did a double take this song has a huge spot in my heart coming from a little girl in wv being raised by her grandparents I was blessed thank you for reminding me teddy 🥰
God thanks Teddy, you never fail to touch my heart. I’m an older male 64 years you, I love all of your songs can’t wait until you come to Phoenix Arizona. I’m a singer myself and have been follow you for a while. You da man!!!!
Dangit man! 😢 My dad passed a few years ago, and my mom last year. I'm in the middle of selling the house I grew up in, and boy did this cover hit me in the feels! 😭😭😭
OMG I love this song. I have wanted to go home to the house that built me. My father was always remodeling it and it's where he died before he finished.
ThiS guy leaves me speechless ... I could listen to Teddy and Chris Stapleton all day and night & probably be one of the happiest people on this earth!
Teddy, I can feel every word in your version of this song, You are so amazing, you sing from your heart and soul, love you ♥️ Teddy Swims Fan For Life 🧸🔥😎🎤⭐🎶💋
As many covers as I’ve seen of this incredible song, this version is the only one that truly moved me. You performed it with such feeling. Absolutely beautiful!!
This is a hard song for the fact it is made of emotion not just ability to sing. You never fail and did not this time either one of my absolute favorite songs you did it justice. Thanks for this cover Teddy I am amazed at the talent you display to us all.
Maybe to many times i heared the original, and now i keep replaying this one and still the words were so truly writen i can not help but tear up. You guys are amazing. Thank you.

@Mikael not crying, merely expressing my feelings. Seems like your uncomfortable with feelings ? That must be tough.
You're buetiful.
Teddy has that amazing effect on people!
@Mikael you should stop crying

Do true he sings from the heart
He is incredible! Look up the song Rivers, his range is a god given gift!!

Dude how do you make EVERY song you cover sound better than the original. Your talent is completely INSANE!
I revisit your amazing version of this song from time to time. I close my eyes and remember my mom’s house and all the memories I had growing up. When she passed the house was sold and I miss her dearly. This songs helps me see her again. Thank You
I knew it would be amazing before you even opened your mouth. You're such a gift, sir👏
Sweet song Teddy. So much truth in it that it took me back to my childhood home, and all the good times and bad times that came with it. Because it's not just the good times that build us, but the bad just as well. Keep singing brother. You're making a difference in this crazy world.
Never heard this song before.
You’re a special talent man.
Keep going.
Teddy, I only discovered you and your amazing voice recently and I am hooked!! I close my eyes, turn on your voice and fly away. The voice of a generation. Thank you xo
He gives this song so much more feeling.. incredible
Absolutely no one could put the feelings into play in this song the way you have done......... Bravo......... Bravo.
That was so beautiful. as always. AS ALWAYS... damn.. thank you Teddy
Young man you just add something special to everything you sing. One of my favorite voices by far and that personality is infectious
Said goodbye to the house i grew up in today. after momma passed we had to give it back to the bank. I sat in the fort we built as a kid. this year has been the hardest and most alone i have ever felt.
Remember...Goodbye is never permanent. We always have the memories of everything that made us who we are today and even our future selves.

🎵 lyrics 🎵
I know they say you can't go home again
I just had to come back one last time
Ma'am I know you don't know me from Adam
But these hand prints on the front steps are mine
And Up those stairs in that little back bedroom
Is where I did my homework and I learned to play guitar
And I bet you didn't know under that live oak
My favorite dog is buried in the yard
I thought if I could touch this place or feel it
The brokenness inside me might start healing
But Out here it's like I'm someone else
I thought that maybe I could find myself
If I could just come in I swear I'll leave
Won't take nothing but a memory
From the house that built me
Mama cut out pictures of houses for years
From better homes and garden magazine
Plans were drawn and concrete poured
And nail by nail and board by board
Daddy gave life to mama's dream
I thought if I could touch this place or feel it
The brokenness inside me might start healing
But out here it's like I'm someone else
I thought that maybe I could find myself
If I could just walk in I swear I'll leave
Won't take nothing but a memory
From the house that built me
You leave home you move on
And you do the best you can
I got lost in this whole world
And forgot who I am
I thought if I could touch this place or feel it
The brokenness inside me might start healing
But out here it's like I'm someone else
I thought that maybe I could find myself
If I could juste walk in I swear I'll leave
Won't take nothing but a memory
From the house that built me
Thank you for the lyrics. I stopped by the house I grew up in 40 years later and asked the new owners if I could come in. The people were gracious enough to let me tour the house. So much had physical changed, but that is my safe place in my mind. So many memories are in that house.
I am so in awe of you Teddy. I can't explain what your music does to my souk. I got tickets to see you in Kansas in a few weeks and I am so full of positive energy just ready to see what you have in store. Please don't ever stop singing. I love you ur❤
Goosebumps. Every Damn Time.
Makin' a girl weep over here. This is my song for my grandparents. Reminds me of growing up in their house; same one they still live in now. Thank you for doing this song so much justice. You brought me to tears for all the best reasons. 🖤 Keep sharing that incredible gift of yours. You're touching hearts you'll never even meet, my friend. I'm blessed to have heard this.
When you're 25 and struggling with the change of growing up and becoming an adult, this song hits different than it ever did. Absolutely well done my dude 🖤💜
