My son shared your music with us in our kitchen. He resignatted so much with it, he passed away at only 17 11-27-23. He was trapped in a traggic house fire saving his biological fathers life. This is the song he introduced us to first and honestly it slipped my mind because it was on his play list. I came across this just now and brought tears to my eyes because I could see his excitement in his face and hear him introducing this song to us. I cherish the 17 yrs worth of memories I made with him. He loved your music and was so proud to share and sing along. Thanks for being apart of my boys life even though you didn't even know it. ❤
Coming from Sam's mom, this has touched me so much! I am so sorry for your loss. I have personally made sure he sees your comment. I pray for you and your family. I hope music can help you heal ❤!
Your comment made me cry, I don’t know you from Adam but I feel you. I pray nothing but blessings for you and your family. I am starting to make music and just found this song and it made me come back and read the comments then I seen yours. I just want you to know I made a bunch of Marines and one thing I always told them was “your story was never meant for you” you were absolutely put thru something that God or whatever knew you would come thru as to be an inspiration to someone going thru the same heartbreak. They will use your story as motivation to get up and make it thru another day. Again you are loved. Lokie,
Sam, I’m a former heroin addict and my 16 year old son just sent me this yesterday! I haven’t been able to stop listening to it over and over! I’ve cried tears of gratitude that I’m able to have such a strong relationship with my boy after all the times I let him down. He forgives me so I’m able to forgive myself. Sometimes he amazes me at his wisdom and maturity at such a young age. I look up to him now. Thank you for making music for kids like him and their mamas.❤
You are the best. In rehab they tell you will be an addict for life. You are not. It was just a easy way to deal with some problems until you realize the light you were desperatly looking for in the dark, is to be found in yourself. You are stronger than 99% of all people
Your music helped me find the strength to support my wife through the loss of our baby boy at 20 weeks term. Thank you sam, please keep doing what you are doing.
In my personal experience I felt horrible that I didn’t feel destroyed in the inside. It’s okay, over time I’ll catch myself thinking about it and hurting. He/She is waiting on us, try to deal with these emotions with your companion yall both need it
I have played this song over and over and it brings joy and tears of happiness that today I have 67 days sober. I have found that threw god the impossible of having me be sober like I am today be a reality I once thought I’d never be able to get sober or stay sober and no matter how many times I have fallen I get up no matter what I was a real bad addict and god saved me again and again I’m truly blessed and greatful to be alive and it’s music like yours that hits my soul I thank you for this song !!! God bless brother wish you the best !!!!!
I work in detox and both of my parents were lifelong, severe addicts. My dad passed but my mom has been sober for 2 years- the longest time ever. I hope you are sober. And if you aren’t, get back up. You can do this.
Love to hear it brotha. So good to hear God is still constantly working in the hearts of man. I'm a backslidin Christian and wind up here on the empty side of the bottle every once and while. Thanks for sharing your faith
Just discovered this guy 5 mins ago. So far love what I'm hearing! I love finding gems like this on here. Zach Bryan has been my favorite for yrs now and seen him live last year it was incredible. Just recently discovered Nolan Taylor couple weeks ago and wow! Check his music out, so raw and talented. His song writing and voice is incredible too!
This guy is going to be big. This music is replacing the hiphop genre as the main. This is the new main genre. I am loving it. Country singers that perform outside in the country have the most clout.
This is the realest song about life I've ever heard. No one understands what it's like being a man and the expectations people have of you especially coming from a father that did great in life and expects you to fill the boots
Got pulled over last summer on a Friday the week before my birthday. This song was playing. I almost ran. I had no license. It was suspended. But I was working hard towards getting everything back active. I’m so glad I stopped. The officer. I’ll never forget him. “Well son seems your having a rough patch and I don’t plan on making your life any harder on you. Go to your court date with an active license and it will be thrown out” I said really? You’re not arresting me? He said “ of course not son. You’re clearly trying to better yourself, in no way do I want to keep you back.” Last thing he said to me before he parted ways was “ For your sake I hope we never meet again” that was it.
Thats a true officer of the law while new York city is filled with idk what anymore. It's a true police state that has no control of the migrants, it's own citizens and the oathbreakin officers graduating everyday
@owenhill-wates3593 My mate has introduced me to him lately! He's not bad at all. Like you say, it's just not the same, is it? I quite like zach byran, though! Something in the orange is a good song if you ain't heard it.
Thanks Sam! Songs like yours, Zach, Tyler, and the red clay strays are like prayers if you sing them out loud. This music has got me through some of the darkest days my near 50 yr old soul has even known. It keeps me grounded knowing I’m not alone and somewhere someone else is screaming Childers. Gods path and at Godspeed!
Lyrics: When there's a storm raging in your soul You gotta thank God that you're still growing old If them demons your fighting won't go away Drop on your knees and pray Life can get hard sometimes I know You got to get up and walk the straight and narrow When they're chasing you down with an old bloodhound And you're running through the fields for your life You got to get up son I know they're gunnin for ya Don't let the thought of yesterday Crowd out the visions of today Don't let your past define your name We will all be judged the same someday Life can get hard sometimes I know You got to get up and walk the straight and narrow When they're chasing you down with an old bloodhound And you're running through the fields for your life You got to get up son I know they're gunnin for ya When they're chasing you down with an old bloodhound And you're running through the fields for your life You got to get up son I know they're gunnin for ya.
Don't it hit so hard when you hear a song that sings out and defines all your pain you sit in for you. Therapeutic and healing. Thank you for this song.
Straight up the most impressive artist I've heard in a very very long time. I would have sworn he was in his 50's based on the character of his voice and songs. Absolutely blown away.
“Don’t let your past define your name” thank you so much I’m dealing with some crap at school and listening to you makes me want to prove them wrong. Y’all are the best
Heard this song for the first time 5 days postpartum. I was nursing my newborn, sleep deprived, exhausted, and overwhelmed. Felt like I couldn’t handle my new life. I just cried & cried listening to this song. Here I am 10 weeks later doing great with my little one & still listening to this song. Thank you 🙏🏼
I’ve been listening to this song since it released and I have to say when I had that 357 in my mouth this song was the one that came through like my dad telling me there’s no quit boy there’s just more fight that’s the only option. Thank you Sam for creating this for the struggling and disenfranchised. You have saved a lot of souls my friend. God will bless you the rest of your days
Hey sam i am a 12 year ild kid who discovered your music in a dark place. When i discovered the song it had helped me out of suicide. Every day i listen to this song and i cry every time. Thank you for being the way you are.
How are you doing mate? I was in a dark place myself when I was your age, I’m all grey and stuff now, and I still struggle with it. Be strong, I know it’s often easier said than done, but it can be done, there’s always a way, it’s within you. If I can survive the stuff that I’ve been through, you sure as hell can survive it too, whatever it is. Trust me, one day you’ll realise just how strong and resilient you are, but that day will only come if you fight for it, and for yourself. It gets better 🤝
"Don't let the past define your name...we will all be judged the same someday". That verse hit me in the feels. 😢 Stuck in the prison of my own mind over my past mistakes. Trying to forgive myself and move on.
Incredible backdrop to record such a moving song. This is fantastic both lyrically and acoustically. The chords remind me of Zach Bryan's *"Leaving"* but really sped up, and that's awesome.
Music helps people in so many ways. Not only has this song touched me and helped me...but just from looking at the comments alone, it has done the same for so many others. Thank you Sam, for creating wonderful music that touches the hearts of people all over the world 🌎 ❤️ 🤟
This young man's talent and songwriting skills are epic. This song is incredible!!! especially his voice the way he digs into that line. when they're chasing you down with an old bloodhound and you're running through the fields for your life. Can feel what he's singing every morning I play this if I'm struggling to get going ... when there's a storm raging in your soul...you gotta thank God you're still growing old. if them demons you're fighting won't go away...drop on your knees and pray. 🙏
I want to thank you for this one I've done 13 years in prison battle with addiction for most of my life to have overcoming it and now dealing with anger sometimes I feel like I'm just a horrible person and a good life just ain't meant for me I am a Christian have been since birth so it's songs like this that allow me to keep pushing through so I thank you personally Herobrine songs like this thank-you from Virginia
Look at that amazing view. I'm English and I have to say to all the Americans reading this, you have a beautiful country and I can see why people don't want to live in the cities. I wish England had places like that.
I'm an ex crackhead who tried to take my lofe in 2019, I survived just about and 4 years later im good and living life the best I can, I'm sober since 6-1-16 but ended up addicted to prescription drugs, I'm now 3 years away from pharmaceutical opiates and feeling a lot better. This song even with me being in a good place hits hard, I've got back up numerous times and I'm glad I did. I struggle with autism, bpd, clinical depression and other stuff. Life was never meant to be easy but I made mine so much harder by the decisions I made. Think long and hard about your decisions as one bad one can destroy your life. I dont have a religion as I believe in myself . Determination and pure will got me back. If I can do it anyone can. ❤
Mind over matter, don’t let anyone tell you that you can’t do anything. Definitely don’t let the past control you either. It’s time to rise up and show yourself and your family what you’re capable of. 444
My sister begged me to listen to this song, it reminded her of our Brother who’s no longer with us. Thinking of my brother while listening to this powerful song. R.I.P to anyone gone too soon 💔
I'm a recovering drug addict and really did a good job at messing my life up along with the people who loved me I got 4 year living a clean life, every once in a while I get overwhelmed but this song gets me back in line thank you for giving us this gem
This is now my favorite country singer and for some reason the city boys that haven’t seen a tree are hating this man I don’t think he’ll see this but let them city boys hate you are an amazing singer ❤️
I woke up today and decided today would be last day on this earth. I opened pandora and decided to listen to the most aggressive rap music i could find to help me get the strength to do what i had to do. For some reason, this song started playing. You saved a life today i hope you know. I pray this message finds u so you know that whatever pain caused u to write this song, saved someone today. Keep doing what your doing brother
I have been playing this song for so long and it never gets old. It really is a great song, and I believe that you will become the top country singer in the next couple of years. Keep it up, and I hope you come out with some more songs that bring the joy to me. I also love all of your other music. I keep up with all of your new songs, and I hope you receive this message in joy.
After losing a brother on two wheels I rode for a hour just replaying this song it helped pull me out of a deep depression, rest easy Russell I love you man
Idk who told me about this guy and this song but I’ve been deployed the last 7 months and this song is my morning ritual to keep going every day! Thank you for your the daily push!
I relate to the chorus so much. My sister ran away and went missing at 2 in the morning. She was in a corn field (it was winter, nothing was growing and it was full with grass as it hasn’t been used in a few years) and was sprinting running from police dogs. She went missing with her boyfriend, who was under the influence and stole a car. She took the SIM card out of her phone as he told her to do. She eventually got out, and that’s where she ran into the field. Thankfully, by the time I was back at home, she was safe and her bf was in serious trouble.
this song was different from all the new country you here today I'm a country boy I used to work on the farm of both my family and friends and we blast country music all day long I always love willie nelson he a good country singer and Blake Shelton Oliver Athony Shawn James Tim burton Zach Bryan Uncle Lewis and out of all there song this one has made the way to top 20 on my playlist
Thank you for having the strength to put yourself out there. It is because of your talent and drive that I am able to share in your amazing music.I lost all of my sight a few years back. Music was always a huge part of my life but now it is also another way with which I can "see" the world. I lost my sight but keep moving on for my boys. I lost 2 organs and received a dual transplant. Still going for my boys and in memory of my donor. Now, just pick a song to sing as the sun sinks itself lower in the sky. I can picture the orange soft hues as you're singing. Thank you again for sharing your gift. :) Hope to see you perform in SE Wisconsin.
As a guitarist I know how difficult it is to switch between strumming and picking and for him to do this while singing this man is talented! Keep up the good work love your voice to by the way.
This song saved my life, I've had a bad drug and alcohol problem for the past 3 years leading me into depression and wanting to kill myself, the amount of crying I've done driving around screaming these words to myself! This song is the reason I'm straight and narrow and I'm happy now. Thank you so much Sam This will be the most important song to me for the rest of my life 💙
Hope you read this reply and it finds you well. Good for you to keep the good fight against those nasty demons. You will prevail against this if you wish.
Truly talented musician. Love this song. Spectacular vocals as well as guitarist. God Bless you always. Hope u always plays his guitar and sings. God blessed us with this one.
