Hey there sugar, your almost there girl!! ((100,000)). Come on people let's get this young lady her 100,000 subscribers!! She's worked her tale off, let's get her there OK?? Lots of love girly...keep on, keeping on ❤️💛❤️💛
Another great reaction. This song holds a special place in my heart. I lost my only sister to a meth overdose about five years ago and not a day goes by that I don't think about her
Absolutely why I love RU-vid! A friend of mine messaged me and told me to listen to Ryan Bingham and that lead me to soo many other great musicians I didn't know! Whiskey Myers, John Moreland, Tyler Childers, Wade Bowen, etc... sometimes RU-vid and clicking can take you on a musical journey :)
I am a big very tough man. This song brings tears to my eyes as i think of the people and relationships i have lost to drugs. Thank u for the reaction video. Love people while they are here
@@pappabearnofux4426 yea same w me brother.. 100% it definitely takes ya back down memory lane thinking about the ones we've lost, the ones still out there, and the very few who got clean.
Music is supposed to tell a story. It's supposed to take you for a ride seems country is the only Genre of music that still does this. This song takes you on that ride. You can feel it in your soul. It's overwhelming at times. Especially a story such as this. Pure gold
Yeah, country isn't the only place this exists. It's just a matter of finding the right artist. Like in hip hop, right off the top of my head, J. Cole's Wet Dreamz being one. Yeah, the title is funny, but it's a really relatable song for a lot of folks and composed in a sequential storytelling format.
Music can be whatever it wants to be, it's art lol. I'll give country music credit for its lyrical storytelling, but musically it's the most samey and shallow genre I've ever heard.
??? Rap is literally the same beat repeatedly over and over in every song!!! Plus they all sound the same cause half of them use auto tune cause they have no talent!!!
Whiskey Myers is a TX treasure. So many great songs. Explore more music from this TX side and from the gutter country side. You'll be shocked at what you'll find. Tyler Childers, Ryan Bingham, Charlie Crockett, Zach Bryan, Morgan Wade
The song begins with "A couple of pretty flowers, is what I brought to you." Then concludes at the end "I throw in a pretty flower, as they slowly lay you low.. It was a rose." Revealing what kind of flowers that he said he brought in the beginning of the song and the reason for him bringing them to her. Great writing.
This song was actually based on a person that Cody Cannon (vocalist) knew. He knew a dude, and dude's girlfriend got caught up in a bad addiction. He tells about it in the acoustic live version.
Red dirt country reminds me of southern rock of the 70s. Not played much on mainstream but a lot of play on the internet. Red dirt and Texas is where it’s at these days.
So it's called "Red Dirt country" now. Lol ok. When I first heard this song 7 years ago, it was called "Texas Country". But you young people always change the names of things. It always amazes me how idiots on the internet always find a way to "mainstream" everything. Y'all make me sick. Boomer here.
@@jcdenton4621 Texas Country and Red Dirt are pretty much the same thing, given how close the Texas and Oklahoma country scene is. Been that way for some time now. You can call it either one, doesn't really matter. Not really a "young people" issue.
This song always breaks my heart. I've had friends lose it all to meth. Love, family, money, life, soul. You watch them die slowly. Almost like a cancer. Whiskey Myers is one of the few putting out true country. Only a person with real experience could of written this song.
I absolutely love that you listened to The whole song all the way through and didn’t stop it to voice your opinion. First video of yours I watched just cause of this song. I love whiskey myers and I appreciate that you listened all the way through. Gonna watch your others an more then likely subscribe. Can you do got me wrong or nutshell by Alice In Chains?
This is a heartbreaking song and s many can empathize because the personally know and worry for an active addict or have lost one close to them. I saw your review as one of the suggested vids in the feed- I really appreciate the fact that you played thru the entire song without interrupting it every 20 seconds like others do on reaction videos. This is a message that didn’t need constant interruption- it needed thoughtful reflection and someone to hear what was being said first...before reacting. Thank you.
Texas Country, not to be confused with country music. Enjoyed seeing you immerse yourself in the music. There’s quite a few TC bands that we here in Texas are blessed to see on a regular basis, Whiskey Myers being one of them.
This was the first Whiskey Meyers CD I bought. This song hits so close to home. Been there, done that , never going back again. I've seen what what this drug has done to people's lives. Makes me cry every time I hear it. These guys are the best Red Dirt Country Rock, as far as I'm concerned. I was fortunate enough to see them live about 7 years ago, awesome show.
The band Whiskey Myers, these guys are incredible live. Masterful song writers, everyone in the band. Check out "Reckoning" or "Colloquy" or "Bad Weather"
Thank you for recognizing the depth and truth in the message of this song.. Your reaction throughout this song expressed the tragedy of a life of depression that was fatally compromised by the drugs. We all know someone going through a similar fate, but your closing narrative asking us to check on that someone speaks volumes about the compassion in your heart… Naturally, our tendency is to avoid “those people”, but they aren’t bad… They have just lost their way… Drugs provide a false escape from their sad reality… First time that I have watched you.. Your beautiful heart has convinced me to subscribe for more of your content.. Stay true to your heart ❤️ and you will have a beautiful life…
been watching these reactions, and watching everyones face as they realize how deep this goes, and the human connection we all share with that sorrow and hurt, it hits pretty hard.
There is so much to discover with Country! Real Life, Good, Bad and Ugly. Tradition, Faith, Patriotic, Family. I didn’t come up with labels, we has Country, Rock and R&B. Great Reaction for a Brilliant Artist!
This was a very memorable reaction for me Miss Shilo. The song really touched you. As was said before, this is Texas Oklahoma style of music. If you want to do another by them Stone or Bury My Bones would be a good place to go.
Dont usually do reaction videos much but this one popped up and its one of my favorite songs.... So I clicked it and im glad I did, you dont know how much i love and respect that you didnt stop the song every 2 seconds....although this one's a hard one to stop ✌🏻lol #respect
I love your reaction to this song. You're pretty close to the story. Thank you for sharing this video of addiction! There is always somebody who needs a bit of help and your videos help more than you think!
this song kills me everytime i listen to it. my mom struggled with her meth addiction my entire childhood till she gave up and committed suicide when i was 13. I still ball my eyes out when i hear this
Whiskey Myers, stoney LaRue, Wade Bowen Kyle Park and a bunch of others come from what they call the Texas music scene out of Austin. This style of music and these artists are growing everyday, enough to keep up with the likes of Nashville. They call it Texas Country music.
It is my own opinion Nashville has aided in the downfall of modern country music. Look to Kentucky, many incredible artists from those hills. Tyler Childers is first to come to mind.
This song is a true story. My drummer went through this a couple of months back his girlfriend passed away and he asked me if we could add this song to our playlist and I did and it's a tough song to do near the end sometimes I'll bust out in tears but I keep going. Whiskey Myers Aaron Lewis and the list goes on and on Cody jinks there is a lot of good music out there that's underrated.
I absolutely love Whiskey Meyers. They are country, country rock, southern rock, etc. this is one of my favorite songs by then. Thanks for giving your perspective
the first time I heard this song I was cooking dinner and froze with heart ache and knowing that so many of us watch the people we love fade away in this same way. For me it was an addition that so many of my family and friends are faced with that could not walk away from. I was brought to tears with a tightness in my heart praying for those who have not been able to overcome a poison in their life that was destroying not only them but the people around them and many children.
Beauuuutiful reaction Shiloh. Love how you echo off the mood of the song.. means you are in touch and thought. Time now for some Melody Cristea frontwoman for Liliac (Lil-EE-ack) recommend a original called "Sail Away" and/or Mars (Live version). Ready, set, GO!!!
This song always takes me back every time to a simpler time, some times we as men think we are rescuing the women, but it’s the women that tame the men.
I am so glad I found this. I’ve wanted to see a reaction to this song from somebody outside of East Texas. Whiskey Myers is so underrated. They sound just as good live as what you hear right now. And they put on a damn good show. This song though…it speaks volumes of the meth problem in East Texas, and the pain associated with it. Please continue to explore these amazing yet underrated artists. There are so many that you’ve yet to discover. 💜
You look so genuine.. None of the constant interruptions.. Thank you! Listen and share your thoughts! That’s why I subscribe to your channel!! Keep bringing your videos!!!
These guys are from a town about an hour and half away from my home town I’ve hung out with em after a show they did in Longview tx real cool guys real down to earth
If you enjoy music with soul, that tells a story I have a list for you. This song hits extremely close to home & your somber tone to it is the reason I subscribed
Hey thank you for reacting to this song. It’s actually a true story, it’s about his best friends wife who unfortunately lost her life to meth addiction. It’s a huge problem in east Texas and doesn’t get talked about much.
One of my favorite concert moments was when they came down to the world famous Floors Country Store in my hometown of Helotes, TX. After a hell razing concert they decided to play a tribute to White Stripes “Seven Nation Army”… 4 whiskeys and 8 beers deep, I probably head banged harder to that with my buddy then when Metallica came to SA lmao. WM is definitely a band to see live.
These boys are from my hometown, it is always nice to see them getting the recognition they deserve. If you haven't seen or don't know about the show 'Yellowstone' you should check it out, they have some scenes on there playing in a bar. For some context of the area we are from it is one of the typical rural towns in America really having a big problem with crystal meth right now. Just this past year a guy I graduated with ran from and got into a shootout with the sheriff's department and was killed. He was a meth dealer and on meth at the time. Thing about this guy is back when we were in school he was that "all american kid" you never would have suspected to end up like that, but he did. Meth doesn't give shit who you are or if you're a "good kid" or not. Anyway, the "Timeout off of 155" is a strip club in the area outside of Tyler, TX - 155 is the road and Timeout is the place; 155 is one of the main roads through there. Thing about that place is, since it is such a small area around here, is sometimes you would go in there and see girls you knew or grew up with, went to school with, etc. and some of them would be in there to support their addiction.
Started watching your reaction videos to some of my favorite rock and metal music, now find myself watching them to genres and artists that I never listen to so haven't heard of before.
When I was young my mind was single track with music. Now that I am older my mind, ears, and heart have grown to love all music. Never judge a book by its cover, you might like whats inside.
This song is based off a true story about one of the lead singers significant others at one time. The Time Out on 155 is a real place, so that might and should make it hit you harder on your soft spot
That muddy water isnt for the weak at heart. Id be lying if I said I didnt cry listening to this "yeah it was a rose" ...."i thought you should know..."
A couple of pretty flowers Is what I brought I to you I saw you through a broken window With a different point of view You had signs of depression From a long line of sin And your face tells a story Bout the places you have been I love you so, I thought you should know And that muddy waters flowin As you take my hand Past the creek down by the holler Through your daddy's land I could buy you a diamond But I cannot change your world Cuz I ain't got no money You'll never be my girl no no I thought you should know You was gonna be a singer Or be a movie star But you cant catch no breaks baby And Hollywood is hard Now you work down at the Time Out Off 155 And you're dancing for your dollar Just tryin' to stay alive It hurts me so I thought you should know You feed your addiction With your crystal meth And I plea for your life as it takes you to your death You make your deal with the devil As your looks begin to fade I saw you laughin' through the tears As you slowly slipped away I watched you go I thought you should know Yeah I watched you go I thought you should know That cold rain is pourin' As they lay you in a grave I can barely recognize you In your fragile state No more signs of depression From a long time ago I throw in a pretty flower As they slowly laid you low, it was a rose I thought you should know Yeah it was a rose I thought you should know A couple of pretty flowers is what I brought to you I saw you through a broken window With a different point of view
The live version is better IMO but the song is speaking about a guy that was in love with a girl that he wasnt "together" with and him watching her grow and slowly fade to a life of addiction and how it felt and looked from his point of view. Defintely glad to see a review/reaction of a song that stands out from the music so many other reaction videos are being done to.
Been listening to music of all genres for 60 years. This is one of the most powerful songs i've ever heard give a listen to Kansas - Dust in the Wind Cranberries - Zombie Lynyrd Skynyrd - Free Bird All three are Classics!!!
this song hits close to home for me... on Sep 21 this year will make 2 years for me that the women i spent 6 years with became addicted to meth.... i ended up leaving her after a few month of nothing but pain. A few months pass and i get a phone call from her father tell me she had meet the end of her road.... on my way to her funeral this song came across my spotify. and just hit me like a ton of bricks. keep up the great reaction videos hun. you got a SUB from me.
I've lost a few to drugs through the years. Im sure everyone knows someone in a grave too soon. A girl i knew overdosed on oxies and wiskey a few years back. I just found out recently. It didn't surprise me knowing her. But I really liked her, there was a beautiful soul trapped in her disaster of a life... yeah, I saw her through a broken window with a different point of veiw.
He loved her and she couldn't return the love. He watched her go fro. A young adventurous beauty to a drug addict that died. He couldn't save her no matter how much he loved her.... SHE didn't love him no matter how much he loved her... its a Heartbreakers. Some men could be so good for some woman but destructive behavior and lack of of true feelings can lead people down a path of no return... I feel this song so much because this is literally a story from my book....
Whiskey Myers, i got intro'd to them about a year ago here in CO. Listen to "Virginia". Also anything by Cross Canadian Ragweed, they were early in the 'redirt country' thing before it had a label. Unfortunately they split right before it exploded.
Whiskey Myers is a Texan country band. The lead singer/guitarist Cody Cannon, from Whiskey Myers, was narrating from his best friend’s perspective of this girl that he loved dearly. Hoop and Holler is a place in Texas, and The Time-out is a strip club in Palestine Texas. It’s sad that this girl had “a long line of sin” (nice double entendre) of cocaine and/or meth, and after she expressed her aspirations, and goals in life, she works “at The Time-out off of 155” after Cody’s best friend “saw her through a broken window with a different point of view” because what he is witnessing is not at all how he saw her life playing out. After the good times they shared they never ended up together, and there was nothing he could do to help her, but “watch her go,”lose her good looks, and to later throw in one of those “pretty flowers” at her funeral. Truly one of the best country songs I’ve heard with a real story to tell, but a sad one.
My dad's method of driving home the "stay away from meth" talk was to take me and my sister to meet his cousin (who had also been one of his best friends growing up) that has to live in an assisted living facility because he OD'd on meth and fried his brain to the point that he has no short term memory retention. He still thinks it's 1980 something, that him and my dad hung out just last week, they're both still in their 20's, my dad doesn't have kids yet, and his parents are still alive despite the fact that they've been gone for nearly a decade. After my dad visited with him for a little bit, he took us out to the lobby of the place for about ten minutes before taking us back into his cousin's room again, and his cousin didn't even remember that we had just been there. They had the exact same conversation that they had before, and to him, it was the first time it had happened. Real eye-opener for sure.
This is what is called Red Dirt Country most of the artists that fall in this category are from Texas or Oklahoma and there are a lot of these people making great music.
