Im 58 and this reminds me of my Dad taking me to bars on Saturday mornings in Charlotte NC.......it was always the same, "I'm going to stop by here for a couple then we'll go". The bar matron would feel so sorry for me that she would give me a roll of quarters for the pool table.
Can’t speak for your experience but I will have to say growing up in a bar taught me things about men and life I couldn’t have learned any where else, good and hard lessons, definitely created a different environment but I’m glad I saw it
You have no idea how this hit me. Learned from my dad chuck also and I hustled pool for 20 years all over the east coast pretty much how I survived and now I'm in the west this life builds harder men that's for sure
Wow! Great story. Love how he got older and dad had the same outfit on the whole time like he would never change. Then boom, it was all the same night. Really drove home the point of the kid growing up fast.
I was thinking it showed that the Dad never changed. Like getting beat up was a recurring event. The boy also looked like his dad's behavior was unsurprising, like he'd seen it happen many times before.
That last transition was absolutely beautiful. To me it showed that even when he would lose bets and be beaten because he and his son couldn't win even when he was a child he never stopped loving him and believing in him, and didn't stop, even when he lost on purpose. What a beautiful song and video, wow
It was more that he was always losing bets from the very beginning and the fact that MM never ages or wears different clothes could mean he wasn’t really there in his older years when he was playing pool?
I feel like the film was a ‘dream’ the father had, in that he envisioned his son being a prodigy so he made the ‘bet’ only to find out at the end he lost the first game, so his hopeful vision was wrong. I feel like it’s showing how betting can lead you close to death
he was winning bets and his dad was using him. He had it the last shot looked at his dad, as he was a grown man at that point, and deliberately put the 8 ball in the wrong pocket to lose, look at him looking at MM right before and the facial interaction after.
Lots of meaning in those 3 words. He could've said "yep, I deserved that. I overextended and you called me out on it. I'm proud of you. The fight hurt, but not as much as your disappointment. I'm glad you came back. Wanna do it again next week?"
Leave it to Zach Bryan to write a 3min song with a story strong enough to make a music video for it that feels like a feature-length film! It's always great to see Tye Sheridan, but I'm shocked to see McConaughey in this. I'd say Zach is officially big time if he wasn't already!
Anyone who doesn’t get the feeling and nostalgia have never lived in a small town, with more bars than grocery stores.. Love it Zack, takes me home every time..
I gotta say the song is great but I’m always amazed at how well Matthew McConaughey embodies a character. Even without dialogue. If you grew up going to dark dusty pool halls you’ve met exactly that dude 😂
For I handed on to you as of first importance what I also received: that Christ died for our sins in accordance with the scriptures; that he was buried; that he was raised on the third day in accordance with the scriptures 1 Corinthians 15:3
Wow, McConaughey is something else. Lost my father in may last year. He was a man with many faults, always with a plan, always failed. But he loved me, and I loved him - I miss him so much
Well One thing He didn’t fail at was to love his boy sir. You’re dad succeeded where many men never do even if he is considered a failure by the worlds standards.
The memories I have, drinking Mt. Dew on bar stools, listening to the same old timers, tell the same old stories, alongside my dad and little brother will forever be with me.
Mt Dew? You must be very young. My dad bought me an RC cola, in a glass bottle, and set me up on a pool table while him and his buddy played snooker at the pool hall. 😁
love how this relates to so many even in different situations. We all have that one loved one, that we can't help, but feed into their bad habits in efforts to connect with them. Zach's the goat
The craziest part is alot of people are gonna see themselves in both the kid and the dad we all have that one bht alot of us we are also that one at the same time the blind leading the sick
Lost my old man when I was 29, about 2.5 years ago. This song reminds me so much of him, and our relationship. I must’ve watched this video about 50 times since it was released. Miss you, pops ❤
Wow, Zach Bryan never fails to deliver powerful and relatable music. The imagery in this video, along with the unexpected casting of Matthew McConaughey, is truly remarkable. Another amazing work from Zach!
Zach Bryans music never fails to make me cry. Not because all of his songs are sad, they are just so emotional and you can tell how much he puts into his music.
I just cried my eyes out, sent it to my dad. All the years, the lessons playing pool, the memories. Man, this song reminds you how much love you can have for something someone showed you, along with missing someone before they’re gone. Absolute masterpiece.
Already singing the song word for word. Something about Zach Bryan confirms that the old way is not dead. 8 years in the military, Worldwide country artist and only 27 years old. I can’t wait to see what comes next for this kid.
I love that Matthews character never changes clothes, because some people never change. I have had this playing on repeat for like 3 days. It's so damn good.
Got a tear in my eye when he carried his son out at the end.. As the father of a 4-year-old boy and a 2-year-old girl, all I want is to be a good role model for them. It's damn not easy, so afraid of making mistakes and ruining them completely. Cheers from Norway :)
I feel as if the best role model you can be is letting mistakes happen but showing your kids that mistakes dont set you back and they are a learning experience instead of trying to be perfect
OMG only Zach Bryan can make u feel every bit of trauma growing up and oddly enjoying it, while featuring Matthew McConaughey to bring it home in a short film. Loved it!
This video brought back every memory of my childhood I had forgotten. My father was a bettin man. The blts and pickle spears. The nice waitresses that would watch us while dad went around the corner. Karaoke night. Racing the greyhounds at the dog track and splitting bags of vending machine chips between my two brothers and him. Then he’d hit and take us to Walmart and buy us all new bikes. He’s gone now but he was the greatest step dad a man could ask for. Joseph Strichek. Legend. Just like Zach Bryan.
The simple, yet complex aspect of Zach’s music is nuts. For many, it’s just background music with a catchy tune. If you sit down and try to understand and interpret the lyrics, you start to fully grasp the passion and depth his songs truly have. This one hits hard. Good work
Aye man me and my dad did it straight away your not stupid just thought I mean it does look like one I think they are doing a movie about it idk that's what Google told me 😅
It's not quit the same as going in. Noticed the change of music and Matthew's face. His son became just his little boy again after he lost the game. The father still carries his injury and his face is not happy. Another thing to note is that they didn't make him look older as he aged; he remained the same throughout the entire video. Brings to question the feel good emotions at the beginning. Was it father and son time or was his son just a tool for him?
@@fortyninehike I think the answer is in what you said. Think it started out as father and son time, but over time it turned into something else. But the dad didn't lose the love for his son, its just that his focus got shifted. The son lost the game on purpose at the end because he was angry at his father. Well, not angry at his father, but angry at the greed that has taken his fathers love from him. Basically, he misses his dad. But after the fight the dad realizes his mistake, turns from his greed, and chooses his son over his ego. Their relationship is restored. Pretty cool video.
FATHER OF TWO, THIS HIT ME HARD .........MY FATHER WAS A DRINKER AND I PROMISED MYSELF NEVER TO GO DOWN THAT ROAD BUT HE SURE DID TEACH ME TO BE TOUGH. LOVE YOU OLD MAN.
Man I knew the kid looked so god damn familiar but absolutely could not connect the dots for 2 days. Thank you so much for liberating my mind and making this connection for me
Zach Bryan has an unparalleled talent for crafting songs that pack such depth and emotion that they could easily be adapted into full-length films. Witnessing Tye Sheridan in the music video was a treat, but having McConaughey on board was truly unexpected! Zach's ascent into the big leagues feels inevitable, if not already achieved!
My daughter (9) loves Zach Bryan. We have watched this a thousand times. Even after that, I am explaining part of the video. I call it a movie. Because it has a full length cinematic feel. We have concert tickets this summer! Can’t wait!
There are great songs out there. There are great videos. But rarely does a music video truly capture the essence of the song it's supposed to be about. This is perfect.
Hey mr. Bryan Youll never read this comment but i just wanted to say that your music has genuinely helped me through the deepest of moments in my life. You have singlehandedly prevented me from committing suicide and i thank you for that
Zach got robbed of his Grammy yesterday!!!!!!! 🏆 That was the best album of 2023 of any genre!!!!!! Even better than Taylor's. Should have been album of the year main category!!!!!!!
I've watched this many times more than necessary, and I can't shake the feeling it gives. As soon as he dropped the album I've been hooked on this song and couldn't wait for this video. Good shit Zach
every single time I play this song my stomach tightens extremely hard and I can’t help but to cry thank you too my father for keeping me under his wing my whole life
Goose bumps when McConaughey walked out with the boy at the end. As a father with my father’s vices trying to break our generational curse that hits home.
@@alejandroalvarez7377 in the end it shows Matthew carrying his son out when his son is a little boy. So I wondering if the character Matthew plays had a dad that would do that to him but Matthew didn’t do it to his son
@@_alexkane_ The dad is still the same dad throughout the night. He's beat up and bloody at the end, despite the son's child and adult versions showing. It's the son who changes in the course of a night. He has to grow up fast in that environment. The dad, even though he plays fast/loose, remains loyal to his son throughout. The son rebels, causes the fight, then finds/protects dad in the end. "That's my boy." Notice that during the fight Ty Sherridan's character throws an awkward punch, but when he's moving through the crowd the adults avoid him. It's because he's a child. It's a song and video about the bond between father/son, despite both of their flaws.
@@gobdav thank you so much for explaining that. that’s what I thought it was about but then the end got me so confused so I thought I was missing something there. I appreciate you taking the time to explain that to me.
Man.... THAT was the best music video of all time. What a next level performance. It felt like we were just delivered a full movie in 3 minutes. Great job capturing the emotion with that end scene. what an amazing video, truly.
Sounds like few fathers I have known and know. Hell might well say few mothers. Sad sad but when all you know ? Could be a chain breaker ! Love this Zach Brian you never cease amaze me. ❤
I gotta say the song is great but I’m always amazed at how well Matthew McConaughey embodies a character. Even without dialogue. If you grew up going to dark dusty pool halls you’ve met exactly that dude
I love that there's room for interpretation in the video. A whole story with all the feels in just a few minutes...this is is what creativity is all about!!! 👏👏👏
Zach you don’t know how much you have changed my life. I love you and your music so much! I relate to your music much. You are literally the reason I am who I am to day. Btw This is my favorite music video! Love you❤
This music video was exactly what I needed to help restore my faith in reality. I was so excited to see Matthew McConaughey, I ran into my daughters room, she is the brilliant soul, that introduced me to Zac, and she was not impressed with my reaction. Anyway, this music video has restored my faith in life and in reality, as most of Zac’s music. We are so lucky to have this brilliant young man here with us.
I may not know my real dad, but when I was 16 my friends dad took me in like one of their own, all the nights we have drank together since then, and just appreciating everything he’s done for me and seeing the great man he is! It will always make me be different when I have my own kids, a lot of people don’t cheris their lives and I think we all should a little more!
My dad use to take me and my older sister to the bar. The sweet bartender lady would “watch over us” and play songs for us while we occupied the broken pool today and give us snacks. Never realized it wasn’t the place for us and how dangerous it was 😬
Zach Bryan and Matthew McConaughey, I can't think of a better way to start the week

Well said
Is that what it was? I thought the end, with him carrying the kid, was to show that he'll always be his little boy.
@Rott04 it could be that too. I just see it like the kid grew up alot in that one night.
I was thinking it showed that the Dad never changed. Like getting beat up was a recurring event. The boy also looked like his dad's behavior was unsurprising, like he'd seen it happen many times before.

Him leaving carrying his little boy… no words. 😭
Yup got me to 😢
Zach got robbed of his Grammy yesterday!!!!!!! 🏆 That was the best album of 2023 of any genre!!!!!! Even better than Taylor's. Should have been album of the year main category!!!!!!!
Yess I totally agree with that
Yea pretty beats .. writing your own music these days . What a joke
Zach bryan is a national treasure
I want to see this as a movie am I crazy?
YES!
Nope
Not at all
A legendary music video for a legendary song, thank you Zach
If ever a behind the scenes was needed for as video this one is it!
I've watched this many times more than necessary, and I can't shake the feeling it gives. As soon as he dropped the album I've been hooked on this song and couldn't wait for this video. Good shit Zach
You know it’s a good day when a new Zach video drops!
That is so true i clicked so fast when i saw it pop up
Same!
From the story to the casting, it doesn't get better than this!
Zach Bryan knows how to hit a man in the feels!
This has to be one of my favorite music videos of all time. Love the storytelling!
“That’s my boy”
I don’t think a better music video has ever been made.
every single time I play this song my stomach tightens extremely hard and I can’t help but to cry thank you too my father for keeping me under his wing my whole life
Comment the like count everytime you come back
Goose bumps when McConaughey walked out with the boy at the end. As a father with my father’s vices trying to break our generational curse that hits home.
Oh so his dad did that to him but Matthew didn’t do it to his son is that what that was about
Why was he a kid again
@@alejandroalvarez7377 in the end it shows Matthew carrying his son out when his son is a little boy. So I wondering if the character Matthew plays had a dad that would do that to him but Matthew didn’t do it to his son
@@_alexkane_ The dad is still the same dad throughout the night. He's beat up and bloody at the end, despite the son's child and adult versions showing. It's the son who changes in the course of a night. He has to grow up fast in that environment. The dad, even though he plays fast/loose, remains loyal to his son throughout. The son rebels, causes the fight, then finds/protects dad in the end. "That's my boy." Notice that during the fight Ty Sherridan's character throws an awkward punch, but when he's moving through the crowd the adults avoid him. It's because he's a child. It's a song and video about the bond between father/son, despite both of their flaws.
@@gobdav thank you so much for explaining that. that’s what I thought it was about but then the end got me so confused so I thought I was missing something there. I appreciate you taking the time to explain that to me.
Man.... THAT was the best music video of all time. What a next level performance. It felt like we were just delivered a full movie in 3 minutes. Great job capturing the emotion with that end scene. what an amazing video, truly.
Sounds like few fathers I have known and know. Hell might well say few mothers. Sad sad but when all you know ? Could be a chain breaker ! Love this Zach Brian you never cease amaze me. ❤
McConaughey obliterates everything he does🥊 All three of these guys are top shelf
Obliterates?
Unbelievable video. Three minutes felt like an entire hour! Way to capture the essence of this song Matthew McConaughey
Zach, you're becoming one of the greats one song at a time brother! Keep rocking brother!
I gotta say the song is great but I’m always amazed at how well Matthew McConaughey embodies a character. Even without dialogue. If you grew up going to dark dusty pool halls you’ve met exactly that dude
Zach we need to see you back in Dublin soon 🇮🇪
I was at the second night brother what a show
And London. Or, better still, come to Bristol!
Why is this song so good and tha acting as well These guys just don’t miss
I love that there's room for interpretation in the video. A whole story with all the feels in just a few minutes...this is is what creativity is all about!!! 👏👏👏
How does this not have a million views
Zach you don’t know how much you have changed my life. I love you and your music so much! I relate to your music much. You are literally the reason I am who I am to day. Btw This is my favorite music video! Love you❤
Man it's hard as a father to not get teary eyed when McCaugnehey carries his son out at the end as a lil boy ..
From UK. That was mint !!
Its like a MUDD reunion, the kid and him are awesome
Love that movie! Those two are great together
@920HVAC yep, I thought him and neckbone should have won Oscar's for best supporting role.
Alright, Alright, Alright 👍
Phenomenal video & one of my favorite tracks.
I remember the song with him singing in the back of the truck when it had like 3k views. It's good to see him doing good.
Zach has such a gift. Truth is at the root of his lyrics.
Wasn’t expecting to cry today but that last scene and the “that’s my boy” just hit me in the heart strings
Wow. What an incredible short film and music video.
This music video was exactly what I needed to help restore my faith in reality. I was so excited to see Matthew McConaughey, I ran into my daughters room, she is the brilliant soul, that introduced me to Zac, and she was not impressed with my reaction. Anyway, this music video has restored my faith in life and in reality, as most of Zac’s music. We are so lucky to have this brilliant young man here with us.
I may not know my real dad, but when I was 16 my friends dad took me in like one of their own, all the nights we have drank together since then, and just appreciating everything he’s done for me and seeing the great man he is! It will always make me be different when I have my own kids, a lot of people don’t cheris their lives and I think we all should a little more!
My dad use to take me and my older sister to the bar. The sweet bartender lady would “watch over us” and play songs for us while we occupied the broken pool today and give us snacks. Never realized it wasn’t the place for us and how dangerous it was 😬
I’ve watched this 10 times
Who else teared up to this
That end broke me… as a father and son… beautiful. ❤
Been waiting for it. Did not expect Mathew McConaughey. Great video.
Just played this song with some homies at my first gig ever, I cooked on the solo. This song will hold a special place in my heart
This might be the best song and story that’s been concocted in 20 years
Nine Ball best song on the EP
Deep Satin holds that title, in my opinion.
@@ComedyBros5you also gotta think of pain sweet pain but those 2 songs and pain sweet pain are top 3
Zach on vocals, Matt on visuals.
this needs to be a whole movie
Cold chills. Like this 10,000 times
I’ve been imagining what this song would look like, and this is goes above everything I imagined.
I don’t know what’s better, the song or video…but together, it’s blissful synergy 🙌🏼
Couldn’t ask for a better actor to play in an amazing video / song ❤
The collab we didn't know we needed. ❤ this song is great on its own, but with Matthews acting, it puts a picture to the story. Brought me to tears.
Excellent!!!
From a fan from faraway Croatia!
