The Red Clay Strays - Forgive (Official Lyric Video) 

Sitting on the beach in Northwest Florida tuned up and tuned in, kool tune. Memorial Day 24, thanks to the brave ones that gave it all so i could sit here in peace and relax....

Just found these guys on instagram and I’m going thru the playlist now . Why haven’t I heard about this sooner . With all the manufactured music out there this is a breath of fresh air !

Matthew is such a gifted song writer !! Drew is equally talented, but Matthew somehow finds those lyrics that reach into the heart. For a young fella, he writes like he's lived a lifetime ! Love you guys !!

They gonna be big. Takes time but more and more people I ask have seen or heard of them. Looking forward to seeing them again. Wife and I will plan a vacation around a venue they play soon.

I'll just say music has always kept me going but that holy Spirit music always hits the heart mind and soul God bless

Magic!! You guys should be mainstream !! Fantastic voice - great songs 👍👍👍👍🤗🙏🦋

Just saw them open for Elle King, became my new favorite band immediately. Plus the entire band signed my merch after the show. They are all truly great people!!! Thanks Red Clay Strays for being authentic

This song speaks to me on such a deep level. I was bitter, I got revenge, I got nothing from it in terms of feeling any better. Now I’ve just put my all into one person and yeah I can agree that love definitely is the medicine to make it all better.

They are fantastic. They will be playing and popular into their 60s +

Forgiveness is such a hard but wonderful lesson..bitterness and regret arent a way to live. These guys really nail it. More people need to hear this message.

Another masterpiece! Every time I look them up I find a song I feel and love.

My new favorite band 😊

thank you for being such nice guys. it's a pleasure to hear your music

To the Red Clay Strays if you happen to ever look at these. Thank you. For being amazing at what you do. You guys have become my favorite band...it only took 2 songs and I was hooked. No One Else Like Me was the first I heard and is probably my favorite if I had to pick. Your style is somehow very original while using traditional rock n roll and country flare. Your lyrics cut straight through, hit nerves, and make neck hairs tingle man. The whole band is epic, drums are energetic, guitars/bass find perfect rhythms with the song. Seems to be a couple different styles that come together perfectly... I am a self proclaimed music connoisseur, started subscribing to Rolling Stone in 1999. I knew every damn word to more than one Bob Dylan song before I was 18 years old, including the 7 plus minutes of "Tangled Up In Blue"...Not many people in my age group could have said that. And I'm here to say yours is seriously great stuff. I want to say something about the song "Forgive" particularly. I had been listening to you guys for a couple months...checking out every song and RU-vid video. Strange but I had somehow overlooked this one. And then it found me on New Years Eve this year...some background...my wife and I divorced last year after 10 yrs of marriage and 13 years of being together. It's rocked my world. Don't know what you got til it's gone, right? Well seems like I'd been missing her more everyday. Missing her while being so frustrated too. I get along alright, still have a good time, but it weighs heavy behind the curtain. Anyway...I spent this recently passed New Year's eve alone ..my daughter is 18 and does her own thing, most of my friends are settled with families, and I really didn't feel much like asking some random chick out this year. So I stayed home and sipped and smoked and listened to tunes. Couldn't help but think about her a lot...I was feeling pretty bitter and angry. I just couldn't understand why things got to this point and if I'd ever get over it.... But then this song came on while I was cutting wood for a book shelf I was making. And it grabbed my attention and it lifted an amazing weight off my chest. Sometimes a song is the best medicine, more therapeutic than any doctor's advice for sure. And I have come to truly believe that a song somehow finds you when you are needing to hear it. Hell it may more likely just be from being in a vulnerable state that it feels that way, but I've had a couple times it really felt like more than that somehow. This was one. I've honestly felt better about things since I've heard it. So again, thank you for what you do and please keep doing it. The world needs music like this. 👍🤙👌🤘

Love is a medicine to make amends. ....

You just told the world how just about every man in America feels. Love starts with us and dies with us, what you do in between is the difference between salvation and damnation

Absolutely amazing song!! Maybe strikes a chord with me for the last year of my life.❤

Bro how are u guys not internationally famous yet!

Amazing show last night! Showed up for Elle King..walked out a fan of these guys! You Rock...Roll, Country, Blues and Doo Wop with a whole lot of Soul! The cover of Solomon Burke's Cry to Me...was icing on top of an amazing original set! Thank your for sharing your gifts with the world! 🌌🌟💕💜💕🌟🌌

Holy rock n rollers! You guys are incredibly talented musicians. You had me at Wondering Why.

This has such an Eagles vibe! These guys got skill. And really soulful too. Just discovered this band today!

Amazing amazing amazing grace.like angel,s singing from the heavens.WOW

This band is actually the best wtf

I forgive all and I asked are father to forgive me for all who I did wrong 🙏 if you don't mean it it doesn't matter you to truly have to forgive everyone that did your wrong in every way or It don't count believe me

Saw them in charlotte last night and you made a new fan especially the song you sang with deirks Bentley was over the top. May I say better than the main act!

Beautiful song.

Wish I had a cool story how I found Red Clay Strays but I just tripin , still tripin and happy about that

I forgive all, but that doesn't mean I don't hold those who destroyed me accountable with going right too the point. Then it's up to them . Hopefully they don't destroy the next one.

What is this?? The writing is phenomenal. The way these guys play together in one accord is rarely found. Special is an understatement. Thanks guys. We’re getting the messages. There is freedom in Jesus. He just sang about my 13 year marriage to my second husband. Divorced many years. We still love each other. Just couldn’t do it together. Really sad. He remarried. I never did. And I’m the one who filed for D. Go figure.

Such a beautiful person, soul, voice

I search for original true music,..you sing w your heart,you all are great!!!!!🙃

This one deserves some love

Genuine heart and soul. Thank you my friends I know but never met.
