Dax - "To Be a Man" (Mega Remix) - REACTION - I love the vulnerability of this. ❤ 

I think EVERY wife/gf/fiance should listen to this song

(Young blond Singer @6:42) You picked me up, when I was broken. You pieced together words that were not spoken. You found a way to see me as I was, Even when the world doesn't show you the same love. You're expected to do everything on your own, Provide and then hide all the feelings that you hold. But your heart is deserving enough, show it I see you for who you are, I hope that you know it. Please dont hide yourself, Ill try my best to understand.......

1st- Atlus 2nd- Ben Becker 3rd- The Mediary 4th- Hailey Dayton 5th- Brutha Rick 6th- Phix 7th- Skywalker DaVinci 8th- Shane Fraenkel 9th- TheGreatWhite 10th- Kaveman Brown For anyone who wants to know

Guys and gals. This song is not aimed at women. It is aimed at the world and how the world sees a man.

As a Marine raised by a Marine I know exactly what you mean

"You got this" is all many need to hear from time to time. These simple words motivate us to be attentive and present.

7:20 You picked me up when I was broken You pieced together words that were not spoken You found a way to see me as I was Even when the world doesn't show you the same love You're expected to do everything on your own Provide and then hide all the feelings that you hold but your heart is deserving of showing I see you for who you are I hope that you know it

Thanks for listening to us.

Hey! We are here for YOUR reaction and not just the song. You talking is the whole point. We want to hear your perspective on what the song portrays. Try to remember that for your future reactions! Thank you for your post

This one just broke me. Definitely hit home. It hit a lot of things with this old divorced vet.

Ma'am at the 3rd verse your reaction made me want to say alot of men do try to be vulnerable but more often than not it's used against us turning us into cold heartless monsters who shut off every emotion beside anger

You dont see the emotion because we dont let it be seen.

This is how a lot of men feel

5:26 exactly. many (most?) of us are conditioned very deeply to never talk about these things or we'll look weak and vulnerable. No matter how much we want to we're afraid of having it weaponized against us. It doesn't really matter how misplaced that belief is. It's a very deep trust issue.

You showed me your honesty and good heart

This song is crazy! It says everything I never knew I needed to hear! There's a strong desire to provide and protect my family, which I learned from my father and I would never complain about having to do it. "Cause all I want to do is provide. I was made for this...." I LOVE taking care of my family and wouldn't ever ask for a role reversal. But sometimes "I just want to cry, be given a hug, and be told everything will be okay". Thank you so much for your reaction

Because nobody cares about what we feel!

THAT'S WHY YOU'RE STILL MARRIED AND HE STILL WORSHIPS YOU

You showed a small but significant part of your heart during this video. It left me close to tears. Seeing just how beautiful people can be what some of their inner most soul is allowed to come forward, help a lot with finding how much more we have in common as a created race. Made to be social beings, made to love and be loved, and girted with empathy that helps us understand each other better, especially when we stop for just a moment and out ourselves in another's shoes. A tenderness cam from you that has remained close to the surface for any with eyes to see to discover, but not this time, you put it on show, and it's incredibly beautiful. THAT'S why I can say in all innocence how much I love you. I tiny bit of what you said pushed really deep into my heart and showed a lot about me that I've had tucked away for so long. Not word for word, but taking strength from your husband. What did that say? It's this, that we all, everyone of us have that within us to give and receive strength, enough to take the edge off of any and every internal, whether from mourning a lost soul, tor simply had a bad day. Whether raised by a marine or a prostitute, it's there to be shared, truck drive or front man in a rock band, makes no difference. When I'm told we're made in God's image, this is what I visualise, living the harder side of love, where we all get hurt, and draw healing from each other, making us ready to fight again tomorrow. Now the song, ice.... Just kidding. It was nice, but with a divine ability to reach to depths of the soul that haven't been accessed for a long time. Musically, it mad me think back to days when the lighthouse family were doing well. Smooth, easy going soft, laid back, and all round pleasant, even for a metal head... (We all have our vices, mine are metal, and a nice cup of tea). It's one of those very rare song that could go on for another half our, and it would still be easy to listen to. Very cool having so many people playing their part in the video, that gave it another dimension all together, pointing out that we do indeed have the same make up, are all cut from the same cloth, and all lovingly and fearfully knit together in our mother's womb. The over all theme of exposing the gentle side of human nature was the big point for me, show that young men shouldn't have to conform to any stereo type to be accepted. Just wonderful. More like this please. @ere, once I type this out, I went over it, bit at a time with a magnifying glass, and had to correct about 50 typos... LOL Find it hard reading letters on a keyboard Hehehe. That twice you made my day Randi, I looked in at my inbox to discover an email from you. Thank you. That meant a huge amount. As Steve said, your "rambling" is always welcome, you have so much more than you belive, as when you ramble, what you give is received and loved. Your insights are from the heart more than the mind, and therefore more meaningful. There, now 2 people have complimented you at once.. Be blessed Randi. TTFN

As a guy who has been through some stuff, this really hits home. So powerful.

I dont think yall women understand how much it helps being verified that what we do isn't being unseen. To hear yall say you got this baby makes us feel like we can take on the world

Powerful song ... thanks Randi ... you almost "got" me with your outro ! ... no one wants to be praised every day but occasional recognition would be nice ... Not telling you any more ! you're not rambling, you perhaps don't realise how relaxing your voice is and how interesting you actually are ... Are we having chick cam ? 🐤🎥😀

I really liked your reaction. For once, I didn't mind all the pauses. You have a soothing demeanor about you. Go hug your husband and tell him how much you love him :)❤

Awesome reaction! You're the best! Respect!

I keep telling y’all, ole man with father of seven, has a magical voice, sounds like a 20 yr old sisqo/ dru hill, and I think I saw a video with his 11 or 12 year old singing also, B E A utiful, lots of talent in those genes!

All verses hit hard, but Ben Becker and Phix's hit the hardest. Truthfully, I think every one of the guy's verses are in most men's thoughts, and the women's verses are what we want to hear.

so i love looking up "first time hearing ____" and today i landed on you consider me your newest subscriber. i have a suggestion id love to see you do, btw

Had to subscribe, you’re a real one.

4:41 that's my favorite verse. I've said that for years "most men are halfway dead inside" myself included

So true we are here for you! perhabs you should try subtitles if you can't understand some words! I do the same 😅❤

I had to switch accounts to be able to subscribe because your reaction is amazing

He just made a new remix with Darius Rucker. PLEASE react to it if you haven't already heard it

My mother was a Marine and Father which I never met was Army Special Forces in Veitnam. I completely know what you mean.

Beautiful reaction. Well done.

If I could offer a production tip, turn your compressor/limiter/gate down a little. You have a little ambient noise in the background, so it's tempting to crank the gate up so it cuts that out. The result is we can hear the noise while you speak, then the gate crashes down to silence between your phrases. It's a stark contrast. I appreciate you tackling a deep subject. There's a lot wrong in the world, and home should be a safe, peaceful place for both partners. We can all do better and be better.

Most Men lives of quiet desperation.

SNOW THA PRODUCT "I DON'T WANNA LEAVE REMIX"

Main reason I don't truly open up is either I'm just a sexual object or they don't want to think of or can't understand. Last thing I worry about is seeming weak...all of them already know damn well enough lol, can add putting my burdens on them, which is why therapy isn't an option...my last therapist I became a therapist for her lol which just more burdens on me, or scaring them off, seeming too "clingy"... but I could make a very long list of things before anyone thinking I'm weak, I know a lot of men worry about tho especially with females but nah just beaten down by life and basically and thinking of the future of everyone else and society, also I'm a Christian and highly doubt I find heaven...idk like said a very long list of why hold back, I still do open up a lot but not even close to what could lol which I'll tear up and cry or whatever, just most can't handle it...idk.

Let's just remember to check in on each other, being human and simply existing can be exhausting. No one can hurt you as much, as you hurt yourself.

I’ve been told by multiple ex’s because I’m a man i was only created to provide and be used so I have stopped dating

I guess you didn't care for Ren you haven't reacted to a single thing in 4 months from him
