This Is A Upgrade! |3 Generation Reaction | Dax | To Be A Man | Mega Remix 

the "Jesus wept" comment makes me cry every time.. Amazing song

Dax came up with the idea of an open verse challenge. It was a brilliant concept.

i've watched about 250 of these reaction videos to this song and i keep on sharing this idea ... this song being open verse should become the longest song ever written with the most contributing artists and i think if we crown our king this is where Elvis's should be passed because he demonstrates the example of a true and fair leader each of his subjects gets to lead through the openness of his example.. and it comes to us at a time when we have the least support and have to join together and rise up to bring a change to a world that must pull together or were lost .. and we are at the biggest disadvantage we've ever had .. but this is the time and that's what we have to do.. so we will. what makes this song special it's not just speaking on one element.. relationships, addiction, social pressure, emotional obligation, and the desire to persevere.

As a father to two young boys and 4 young girls this song hit me so so hard

This old vet loves to listen to Dax. This song crushed me.

Dax flew them all in and everything for the video. His song dear alcohol has a mega remix, most of them are on that, lol it's like 18 minutes long or something though, but definitely a powerful song, could name many more but dear alcohol is like his biggest, also just an amazing song like this

Thanks to the three beautiful souls for taking the time to listen to a song that speaks the words that millions of us are too uncomfortable in speaking. It would be wonderful to hear all of your perspectives on the topics at hand in more depth. It's why we are here and choosing to spend our precious time listening.

Dax is one of the very few artists that can make me cry and he has a few that get me no matter how many time i hear them

3:47 that's my favorite verse. I've said that for years "most men are halfway dead inside" myself included

It brings tears to my eye's seeing a wonderful family reacting to Dax music. Remember your reaction videos have an effect on people around the world letting people know the important of family.

I can’t watch this song without crying. Quite a few people in this world just think that men are strong and therefore we don’t have feelings. We do and our feelings are deep. We are taught to push them down. Sometimes the dam gets broken and it just comes out… Sadly when that happens most people don’t listen to us and just tell us to suck it up. That’s when self deletion happens in me( that’s the RU-vid safe way to say that).

This song brings me to tears each and every time I hear it. Thank you for taking the time to react to Dax. He's an amazing artist. My suggestions for you to react to would be: Dear Alcohol Dear God Gods Eye (& the remix) Propaganda featuring Tom Macdonald

It nice that you guys appreciate the song, but I think as a reaction channel you would do better with songs like this to talk about the big issues the lyrics are talking about. Most of the guys in this talk about contemplating suicide, the guy who said I don't know why I need to ask for help if you were struggling I would have helped you, and the general feelings of not being appreciated as we try to take care of our families. Dax and all these artists are really giving you an inside look at the general male psyche and you can use that to fix or strengthen your relationships with your husbands, fathers, brothers, etc.

There are a tonne of amazing Dax songs, but I truly think if you are to react to them, you need to listen to the message of the song and analyse that, not just how it sounds. This song still makes me well up everytime, even after countless listens. All of these artists are absolutely pouring their hearts and emotions out to raise awareness to their message, the fact that it’s sounds spectacular is an added bonus!!!

Way to go ladies oh they have great voices and all that. Men just gave u a window in our life and you didn't even listen to the words and you listen to 2 renditions great job

FINALLY, thank u guys for reacting to this!❤️

Depression, The Devils Calling, Gods Eyes, Battles with Faith, Dear God, but the heaviest and hard hitting, emotionally is The Abyss!!

Hello Kathy, Lulu, and Donna! It is lovely to meet three generations of Music Lovers. ♥ You are going to LOVE this song by Dax. I was introduced to Dax when he remixed "Rich Men North Of Richmond." I have loved him since.

Dax. Lol. He’s incredible. All his stuff is off the hook. Do go down the rabbit holes. Worth it. He does mostly rap. But he’s understandably. And the meaning is always on point. Start with Dear God. Dear Alcohol. Gods eyes. There’s so many. Enjoy. God bless.

All of them are amazing singers

All I could say is go hug and love on your husbands, brothers, uncles and to the youngest one, remember this song when you are in a relationship

Dax - Dear alcohol and the mega remix of dear alcohol

This broke me! The things I would say to my husband if he were still alive. He said Honey I can't fix everything. I looked at him and said of course you can. You are Babes! And he smiled and said yes I can. Oh my what did I do...

For those of you who dont know how the Mega Mix came to be and to answer Grandma's question. It was Dax himself that came up with the idea. As a promotion for his original version of the song, Dax held a "Verse Challenge" on Tik-Tok where he posted the melody/lead-up and the public would duet back their verse. Hundreds of submissions. Dax reviewed them all and shared his favorites back on his Tik-Tok channel. After a month, he picked his top favorites, called those artists and got them all together to shoot the video to get what you just watched. This isn't the first time he has done this for one of his songs and hopefully not the last.

I find that this song is kind of a litmus test amongst reactors and I find women reacting to a small part of the inner workings of our struggle as men to be fascinating this one almost more than most as you have 3 generations of women in the same family doing so. I'll use ThaGreatwhite as the example. At 11:43 the youngest half glances at her mother either recalling a memory of some male or someone important in general in her life that for a moment was openly struggling and at the time and her wanting to give them a hug or she was looking subtly to her mother looking for an appropriate emotional response to herself emotionally connecting to the lyrics themselves here, most likely though it's some combination of this. Then she swallows in an attempt to push the feelings down followed by a hard blink attempting to turn the feelings off, then a couple seconds later another swallow and a flash of seemingly anger or disgust at the feelings themselves and then one final hard blink shutting the feelings off at the beginning of Dax with the chorus because she goes back to soft blinks and head bobbing to the music. With the mother 11:38 is where his words start to hit her feeling empathy and her swallow indicates her trying to check her emotional response to the pain being "unbearable". At 11:42 the line of wanting to being given a hug and wanting it to be told its going to be okay fully registers and I honestly feel like at that moment she wanted to give him a hug because her head movement stops completely and to me she genuinely looks sad and then a little confused as if wondering if that's how men really feel which I believe is happening. At 11:52 she doesn't agree to what he's saying with everyone depending on the man telling me that she hasn't, currently doesn't or couldn't understand "why" anyone would depend on a man. I honestly couldn't tell you but it's there. And not much to say about the grandmother during this sequence as she's just enjoying the vocals and the rhythm of the song in general throughout. Though I will note that she didn't particularly enjoy the rapping sections of the song and generally thought that they brought the song down. Which I have to say that I disagree on a thought like that (remember please that I could and most likely am wrong about some, most or all of what I said throughout) as the point of it all was that through the many different walks of life that world offers (several countries and backgrounds) a small glimpse of the thoughts and burdens of a man are given so that the men that listen to it know that we all struggle pretty much the same I'm not really sure honestly who this song is more for, for the men to know we all go through similar thoughts, sacrifices and burdens as men in general so that we can lean on each other if we have to because we all understand. Or if it's for women so they can begin to understand men's hardships and struggles with emotions that we refuse to share with the world for the simple fact that people will see us weak or "lesser than". But it sure is interesting to see people reacting to this song, women even more so, because good actors or not some part of the song will resonate and with both men and women when you get true subconscious emotional response moments like this song brings out of everyone I've seen react to this be it hard blinks and swallows to fiddling with a necklace to the cold eyes and of course the leg bouncing and fidgeting. You really get a small window of the person themselves and what resonates emotionally be it a pain or an empathy reaction. I dunno, just my weird armchair psychology and profiling driven by my base desire to understand things and people are the hardest. Let me know, how accurate do you think I was since this is of course all conjecture on my part. Was I close, way off, or somewhere middling. If you got to this sentence, thanks for reading, I dunno if I would have read my armchair psychology book. Thanks for sharing Kathy, Lulu & Donna

He did another remix of this song with Darius Rucker that you should react to as well

This song always hits me like a truck when i hear it

God's eyes is one of his best and one of my favorite just like this one. But the mega remix for God's eyes is even better

I feel lucky to have a wife who supports me and I can let my guard down and get my emotions out.

These are all the artists in order 1. Atlus 2. Ben Becker 3. The Mediary 4. Hailey Dayton 5. Brutha Rick 6. Phix 7. Skywalker Davinci 8. Shane Fraenkei 9. The Great White 10. Kaveman Brown

If you haven't already, I'd suggest listing to Dax sing "God''s Eyes".

Just a bit of background on the song…. Dax had an “Open Verse Competition.” Dax had the first verse done, and invited viewers to submit a tape of their verse(s). It went over so well, that there’s actually a video an hour long …“To Be a Man, Mega Mega Remix” of all the submissions. He had viewers vote, and the top 10 are on this song. Dax paid to fly them out to California, put them up in hotels, and they taped it. This is the finished product, which is phenomenal. God is all over this project!! Thank you Dax, keep the music coming. God bless you ladies, and be safe out there!❤️🙏🏼🥰

Idk if yall have already, but you should react to "Surface Pressure" - Jessica Darrow (from Disney Encanto) song about the eldest siblings 🖤

This song has a meaning that all men are trying to explain how it is like to be a man as a man My self it's hard everyday but we have the the pillar of support but the all the men out there u do matter even in ur darkest days just take a breath and listen to this song it who we are we are men we are pillars but it is ok to feel tho

Amazing women. So awesome to see older generations still raising their daughters/children on the right path

I agree with you, this is better than the original, and that's pretty hard to do. Dax has collaborated with Tom MacDonald on several occasions. You should check them out. My favorite is "Blame the Rappers"

as an 18 yr old- i'm just turning into a man and suffering with depression and bipolar and i can relate to this song and intertwining this with being a boxer- sometimes it gets fuckin hard. i appreciate the understanding that u ladies have for this song.

What most don’t understand we were raised to keep it all inside, thus we do not know how to reach out.

New sub. This song is amazing.

sorry to go off subject but i like to recommend thing's i find many people have not heard and if you've never heard of these please give them a chance i'm even giving them in order of viewing effect as i have seen them and try to give you the most to work with first is a duo that goes by the name mozarts hero's who play guitar and cello, and very few people have done reaction videos o them (all of the videos i'm talking about though they may not be as emotional they are amazing to watch and here) the first song should be mozart metallica enter sandman there are some interesting trivia bits towards the end of the video if missed they mention in the credits.. i find that all these songs not having the lyrics gives a whole new meaning. then maybe there muse uprising/ moonlight sonata mix.. they did add a drummer for this one they also do ac dc and others .. then 2 cellos most reactors do there cover of ac dc's thunderstruck but the beethoven led zeppling whole lotta love mix might be a good alternate for people who like reaction videos.. they also have highway to hell with steve vai. they are a duo who play 2 cellos.. there is also a video where they play dream on at the coliseum with steven tyler doing vocals.. for some girl power check out nightwish doing phantom of the opera live with tarja rurnin on vocals in yellow.. it's about the best version you will find.. vanessa mae doing classical gas on electric violin with complete rock band backup.. not as famous but very good ally piper who plays bagpipes she does a great cover of freebird. and has a few friends who also are amazing .. then there are the harp twins camille and kennerly start with matallica's 1 (they both play 1 harp) hope this isn't all old news to you and if not enjoy .. i'll shut up now thanks

We must learn to care for our fellow humans ❤

Is that a Golden Girls pillow in the backround? My mom used to love that show!

Did you guys do a reaction to the 2nd "To Be A Man" remix yet? Dax made another To Be A Man Remix with Darius Rucker. I think that one is good too.

What I'D GIVE!

He just redid this again with Darius Rucker

He also did another version of this with Darius Rucker

Grandma, I'm so happy that your beauty ✨ shines through in your miracles 🙏.♥

IDK but the two woman on the side listen to the song but only the emotions vocals where as the young lady in the middle really listen to the lyrics and what they are saying, I even recall her saying that it reminds her of the hard working man. She gets it,as men we don't care if everyone gets it but at least 1 person that wld appreciate us because we are thought that as men we must give our all& be disregard and expendable.😢😢😢

My sisters!!! Scot/Irish!!!!!

To make this upgrade video dax went to tiktok and had people do stitches with the song. There were close to a thousand if not more now... and every one on this video is local and don't have any kind of contracts with big name labels.

Check out the artist Tom Macdonald, Nova Rockefeller, Struggle Jennings & Adam Calhoun...

Would have been nice to have your opinions and reactions to the lyrics over just saying they had beautiful voices. I was actually looking forward to this video too after the last one. May as well have just re-watched the video myself.

If you all think this one was good you should watch his " Dear Alcohol " Mega Remix !

They have one more version. I think it’s the best version it has Darius Rucker in it. I’m sure you’ve heard of him country singer. Legend, one of my favorites please check out that version if you can be safe God bless one big love

Dax came out with another remix to this song, that might be the best one. It's with country legend Darius Rucker. Yall should also check out DEAR ALCOHOL by dax

If you want to hear Dax rap, I'd suggest checking out "Dax - Dr Dre Feat. Eminem - Forgot about Dre Remix". Dre and Eminem aren't on the song, he's just rapping over that beat...but it's the song that really made people realize that Dax wasn't here to play.

needs wirk on the audio. love your reaction

If this song doesn’t make you want to hug that father/man figure in your life then idk what will, if ever

for some its diffrend like myself dieng in cancer and tryed to speak that whith my friends all ignoreded i like hug and then they talk they strugles in live so im like rock for all i know but none is when i want to talk ... what is ok im ok even im dying and friends say they dont want to talk about it
