As you can tell from this video this was one of those days where I had stress seeping out of my face. BUT! I'm happy you guys get to meet my dog Mutley. Also please excuse the mess of a room - I've been refurbishing slowly over a few months and I've got piles of stuff around :D

"Nose on the grindstone" means to stay focused on your work. It is a reference to old school flour milling. The grindstone literally ground the flour, and if you were going too fast the flour could literally catch fire. So you had to keep your nose close to the grindstone to make sure you couldn't smell smoke or it catching fire. So if you weren't paying attention or "keeping your nose to the grindstone" there could be disaster.
Damn, flour can catch fire?! Learn something new every day ay. Thanks Björn
@@yazma2 Oh heavens yes. Flour dust is very very very flammable, like explosively flammable. So you had to be extra careful.
You are welcome!
I think it has more to do about craftsman whose job is to continuously stay hunched over with their face close the grindstone, making tools and other machined pieces, and the work ethic you need to be good at your craft.
@@yazma2 There have been a number of very big grain silo explosions in America over the past hundred years or so. Here's a small one caught on camera. czcams.com/video/fmrxFcTTv-c/video.html
@@bjornrenshaijanson1657 As a fire inspector I can confirm you are correct, flour dust and sawdust are highly combustible, additionally damp grain can generate enough heat to spontaneously combust
He’s from eastern Kentucky in a very poor and limited opportunity part of the US. The opioid crisis is especially prevalent in that part of the country. His delivery is so perfect for the desperation many in Appalachia feel.
The deeper the poverty the worse the addiction
Yep ❤️
Very poor and limited opportunity part of the US? Sounds like a yuppie thing to say. Must be from the north east.
@@viciousvibes7829 Nope, from just north of coal country in Ohio. I have roots in southern WV. Yuppie? I drive a truck for a living.
@@viciousvibes7829 They might not be from eastern Kentucky, but I am. And what they said is very fucking true. It's a breathtakingly beautiful state but filled with poor education, limited job opportunities, polluted water, and a lot of desperate and hopeless people turning to crime and drugs. My parents worked themselves to the bone to keep food on the table for us and we still barely made ends meet. It's even worse, now, since our major employers were the tobacco and coal industries which have been gutted in the last decade.
Two of the biggest killers here are cancer and drugs. The cancer usually is a result of smoking, polluted water, and/or unsafe working conditions since Kentucky work laws favor the companies' rights over worker rights. Any time we try to get unions in to give us a better chance the company either pulls out entirely or threatens to. This song captures really well the desperate, hopeless grind that is life here.
Tyler Childers is from kentucky, which is in Appalachia. They’re facing a huge opioid addiction chrisis. So when his father is saying that to him in the song it’s deeper than just “don’t do drugs”.
Lol I live in kentucky and his words about the coal mines in like co. Is absolutely true it's hard brutal work and a lot have turned to pills to get through the pain. It's a deep meaningful song to people in and around ky
I was born and raised in the coal fields of Eastern Kentucky. There are plenty of references to that life. I've had family members die in the mines. Its truly a way of life.
@@enchantedbb 😢🥰
Thanks so much for reacting to this performance from our session with Tyler! If your first introductions to the country genre have been Colter Wall and Tyler Childers, then you are off to a top notch start! Very cool to see you gravitate towards the lyrics, because Tyler definitely knows how to put meaning behind his words. Cheers!
Uncle Lucius Keep the Wolves Away is another good one.
Oooo, I'll check it out.
I second this...
Agreed, Keep the Wolves Away is a great song! Band of Heathens - Hurricane, Whiskey Meyers - Ballad of a Southern Man, Broken Window Serenade are very good options as well!
Great f***ing tune
I third this. It's an amazing song and an amazing artist out of Louisiana
"Nose on the grindstone" or "nose to the grindstone" means working and focusing on the work.
Thank James :)
Actually never heard of this guy before, his voice is fucking awesome, deffo checking out more of his stuff. But here's another one for you, Uncle Lucius 'Keep the Wolves Away', another song that actually tells a story.
It's awesome right! Thanks for the recommendation Adrian :)
Keep the Wolves Away is amazing
❤️
@Ivan Adams White House Road - THIS acoustic set is the way to hear it ... He did a studio version that is so over produced that it sounds terrible ( compared to just him )
@Ivan Adams ya its pretty amazing and terrible... here it is...for your listening DISpleasure... czcams.com/video/LjftvOLs0Y0/video.html
Should check out Billy strings- dust in a baggie.
Hell yess...legend has it the "dude in the green shirt is still standing there smoking an unlit cigarette
The old school country told of life lessons. Simple music, many times of sad, tuff times. The story teller singing is what draws you in.
I didn't think I would like country music, but this was a lot more soulful than I was expecting. It really feels like he's singing from the heart. Thanks for introducing me to country music, Yaz!
- Jamie
Check out Whiskey Myers if you enjoyed Tyler Childers.
Broken Window Serenade and Stone are great songs.There is also an acoustic version of Dogwood that is killer!
Love your reactions!
Thanks Matt!!!
Stone by whiskey Myers would be a great one 💯
@@yazma2 i second broken window serenade.
Broken window serenade is one heck of a song
Tyler is such an awesome person too. I grew up in that area of Eastern Kentucky. When it flooded a few months ago, Tyler was right there in Jenkins, with his mud boots on, helping people clean out their houses.
You should also definitely check out Jason Isbell, If We where Vampires, and Only Children
He’s on my list :)
Those are great, and gotta listen to Elephant if you go down the Isbell rabbit hole.
While you're at it checking out Jason Isbell, look in to Justin Townes Earle. He's was really something special. A good friend of Jason's and traveled with him.
@@DaisyMae0929 i really only liked Lone Pine Hill by Justin, but by all accounts was a good dude. Shame he died so young
Love your hair ❤️ I am also from Kentucky (where Tyler is from!) he is so amazing and his songs are so relevant to many of us that grew up in this area.
For about two years, my wife worked for a doctor that went to highschool with both Tyler Childers and Chris Stapleton near Lexington at the same time. The idea that two of the best country/bluegrass musicians of a generation came from the same place at the same time is bananas.
And on top of that, according to the same guy, Stapleton wore a flat top haircut through highschool because he was fully committed to joining the military before being convinced to pursue music.
I keep looking for reaction videos for Tyler, I'm really glad to see him getting some recognition.
First time I have checked you out...it was enjoyable. Thanks.
excellent to see Yaz as always....and Mutley is a cutie. Great voice and style to this Young Man...Ill listen to more too...Big love and thumbs up as always.
Nose on the grindstone is a reference to keeping your focus on moving forward whether it is work, a good relationship, or just life in general. The word play here is awesome. He’s telling people to stay focused and stay away from drugs and other frivolous things that will keep you from reaching your goals.
Tyler is one of those artists that sticks to his roots telling the story of the hills we call home.
Any more Kentucky boys in here?
Not Kentucky but close East Tennessee.

FREAKING OUTTTT!
Naaah, looks great, Yaz. :-)
Hey Yaz your looking lovely as always and great job with your reaction to Tlyer Childers and his song Nose on the grindstone.
My first visit. Great reaction. That smile made my day
Tyler has an earnestness to his voice that really pulls you in.
Nose on the grindstone means keep your head right and together, and focused on the future/task at hand, don’t be distracted because there is work to be done!
I love your new hairstyle Yaz! It looks awesome! 🤟🤟🤟
Awesome, thanks for getting to this one
Another great video...cool hairstyle and almost 10k subscribers...keep it going ❤️💯
Thanks Shalom, I reckon we can hit it this week 👀
@@yazma2 i hope so...10k🥳...stay safe😁
Wow you look amazing on this Friday! Love the chanel keep it up and I hope you have a good and safe weekend.
Nuts i was just rewatching Tylers Red Barn session and this popped up . Love the tattoos
"Bout to hit 10K! Good on ya, girlie- keep it up!
🥳🥳🥳🥳🥳
One of my favorites! Keeping your nose to the grindstone just means keep working, and continue to sharpen yourself in a sense as well.
Hi Yaz!! Love the different look. 😃 So glad you connected with this song, loved your reaction. If you're still looking for country reactions try out Hank Williams III. Third generation singer but definitely not his granddaddy songs. BTW, Muttly is a keeper. 👍🏻✌🏼💯
Oooooo glad you dig it! I’ve never heard of hank Williams! Thaaaanks
I can't decide what I like more? Your dog sleeping in the background or your accent that seriously gives me "the feels" in my heart. LOL
Awwwww thank you so much :D
What’s up, love the dog! Great vid.
Hope youve been doin well.
Awww thaaanks. Mutley says hi :)
Hi Yaz, great reaction with your dog. Your beautiful no matter which way you've got your hair !!!! Have a great week 🤘🤘🤘
Wonderful song awesome reaction. Love the hair btw. Keep doing great work🤗 Much love Yaz ❤️
Thank you Dustin!
@@yazma2 you are awesome Yaz
Three guys you have listened to in “country music” are real country music. America plays too much pop country. Lady May or little feathered Indians. Also Sturgill Simpson long white lines is also a good choice in this form of country
Thanks Dawson!
Tyler has many great ones you should check out, House Fire, Down Low, Detroit, Gospel, We've had our Fun, Whitehouse Road, Lady May, and did a song with Colter called Lady May
What a delightful little dog! :)
Woohoo! Another reaction, please keep them coming Yaz! :)
Wahooo thanks Keysus!
@@yazma2 would you consider doing an album reaction sometime?
Broken down over multiple videos of course.
If so! I'd highly recommend checking out Avatars "Hunter Gatherer" Album.
@@keysus7682 id definitely consider it
@@yazma2 Bet! I like the diversity of music in your reaction videos.
To add to that & not to spam you with recommendations. if you're looking for a shorter song to react to.
There's a 2 min Harmonica song by Indiara Sfair & Arthur Sowinski. That song is called "Improvisation in Cm."
You won't regret meeting / listening to this Brazilian goddess. 😅
Seems i love every reaction you do. They're just so different from the norm it keeps me coming back
I haven’t watched many reaction videos so I have no idea what the norm is 😂
@@yazma2 Just never change dear, you are perfect the way you are
He and Chris are really are a old school Blue Grass I’ve never been a Country music fan but I love Blue Grass and Tyler and Chris are Kentucky boys and there music is as real as it gets
Great song. Great to hear your perspective about Country music. 👍😍
Enjoying the country reactions. It's always fun to see what y'all think across the pond... and cute puppy! Lol
Would love to see you check out 'Not Ready to Make Nice' by The Chicks (formerly The Dixie Chicks). The lead singer spoke out against the president for the war in Iraq and the country music community really turned on the band. They were canceled way back before cancel culture was everywhere. But this song was the band standing their ground against the system.

I love this song it got me though a lot of rough times.
You should react to Tyler Childer’s “follow you to virgie” it’s a tear jerker
Nose on the grindstone means stay focused on your work, your goals. “Out of the pills” refers to the horrific prescription drug epidemic that afflicts so much of Appalachia (meaning the area of the US along the Appalachian Mountains, aka these hills). They work hard jobs, they get hurt, and they end up addicted. His dad is telling him to stay focused, stay away from drugs.
Tyler Childers and Chris Stapleton are both from Kentucky. Bourbon, bluegrass, horses, and country music. Beautiful place.
The grindstone is where dull steel is made sharp. It’s where worn down is made new and workable again. It’s a simile for keeping yourself sharp.
Keep your nose on the grindstone is a way to say "stay focused on your work" or to tell someone to focus on bettering themselves, something i got told while i was going to school all the time,
That was a pretty cool song.
The guy has a good voice.
Yaz , you changed up your hair style. Looks good like that.
Really beautiful
You’re reaction was spot on. Well done
Damn, Yaz. How do you manage to look absolutely stunning in every single video? Keep up with the good content. You always brighten my day. 😉
Awww thanks JR :D
So here's whats happening. I found you from watching Falling In Reverse reactions and yours came up. Started to watch your other videos and now have like five new favorite artists. Funny how those interwebs work, isn't it? This day is hyped.
Literally right?! This is why I love making these videos, we all get to discover some awesome shit!
It's a very powerful song it's expressing the fact that a father's telling his son to do the right thing stay away from drugs be a good person and that the sun actually takes heed of the message feels the weight of it and delivers it to himself through adulthood and follow through with it which is so unheard-of nowadays nowadays kids want to make their own mistakes and not learn from others. there's an old saying, a smart man learns from his own mistakes and a wise man learns from someone else's mistakes. he's passing on the wise man adage.
Your hair is stellar!
Thank you Brandon!
Love the look!!!😁
I lived and worked in the deep South for many years, now I'm back in the UK I'm missing the moonshine and warm night naked swims 😂
In the US, at least the South, keep your nose on the grindstone means staying focused on what's important (work for sure, wife/family/goals, etc). Think "keep your eye on the prize" or similar. "Out of the pills" is a reference to the serious drug issue(s) in Kentucky, where Tyler is from (and where I Iive now, although I'm originally from Louisiana). So sounds like a very personal song from Tyler which is what I usually feel like I've gotten from him...and that's why I'm a fan frankly. :) Thanks for the reaction, liked it!
I'm kinda picky about the reaction channels I follow but gotta admit you're fun to listen to, keep up the good reactions!
Wahey! I’m glad you think so. Thanks windergard :)
He and Chris Stapleton are both good ole Kentucky boys! Both of their hometowns aren't very far from where I live. They are both enormously huge around here!
Check out Whitehouse Road from the same session as this.
Nose on the Grindstone is an idiom for keeping focused on the task at hand. His father is telling him to keep his focus on getting out of the place he was raised. On the "stay out of the pills" part, the opiate epidemic in America started in rural America, much like the crack epidemic affected mostly urban areas. The first line is "Daddy worked like a mule mining Pike county coal". Pike county is an area in Kentucky where one of the largest American coal mine is located. Miners were a huge part of the proliferation of the opiate epidemic because of the hard nature of their work. The companies that created drugs like oxycodon and vicodin heavily lobbied in those areas to get doctors to pump miners full of as many painkillers as they could handle to keep them working in the mines until they were completely broken. The song is about his father's desire for his son to escape his fate and the son's struggles that he has following his father's advice.
such an awesome song, glad you checked it out!
I’m glad you checked me checking it out :)
@@yazma2 We do come here to see you, we can watch the music videos any time we want lol
@@thomase907 😂 god knows why
@@yazma2 Could be one of many reasons, I just like how real and unfiltered you are. And if i'm honest, the accent and good looks are definitely factors as well haha
Grindstones can refer to either the spinning sharpening stones that have been used to sharpen tools or the mill stones for grinding flour. The chorus phrase he uses has turned into focusing on your work and working hard on good work ... focus on doing something productive and stay out of trouble. Staying out of the pills can literally mean to stay out of the drugs, because, in small working towns with few opportunities, it can be easy to stray off a productive path and chasing easy entertainment like drugs and parties to distract yourself from the depression that can be ever present.
I've never been as tuned into lyrics as I have been since I've been on country kick with a few artists lately as well. Good video. Thanks, Yaz.
Follow You to Virgie is hands down Tyler Childers' best song.
When we talk about what it takes to sing country music a popular saying is "Country is Three chords and the TRUTH".
There's two kinds of Country these days...the version that plays over the air waves is more watered down commercial pop country style of "Country"...then there's what you've listened to so far. That get almost no radio time at all, but is more rooted it the traditional style of Country, storytelling of both good and dark subjects in life. Whiskey Myers, Sturgill Simpson, Colter Wall, Jamey Johnson, Cody Jinks, Whitey Morgan and the 78s, Chris Stapleton, and many more...all are represent this style (though Stapleton is the one that gets the most radio play).
Nice video, for some reason this song sends me down an Appalachian vibe, more so than a lot of Tyler’s stuff. Makes me want to suggest Gangstagrass, “you can never go home again” , it could be a interesting reaction.
That is one very cute dog. And nice ink.
I'm from the midwest US and I heard this a lot growin up. Keep your nose to the grind stone means pay attention to your work. Outta the pills means keep away from the drugs.
So I'm from a similar region as Tyler . I can speak from experience his voice is very atypical is modern country music. That kind of sharp almost raspy tone is really only found in the Appalachian mountains in the U.S. Also new to the channel I like what I've seen so far keep it up.
Good to see people from the UK enjoying some good country music. I would suggest Whiskey Myers~Stone.
Force Awakens hat?!?! You just keep getting more and more 😍😍😍
Did anyone else get super strong MTV Unplugged Nirvana vibes from that? His singing style, the timbre of his voice and the acoustic guitar just took me straight back to that performance. Not trying to take anything away from him though. I personally am not a fan of “Country” music but I really did enjoy that song.
Ya know I really think you’d enjoy into the great beyond by crystal lake, such a cool mix and distinct sound
I'm also not a "lyrically" person but if the vocals are beautiful to listen to, it definitely catches my attention. (Off topic but I love your f-ing hair lol)
Yeah it totally grabbed me! And thaaaanks!

Or something by Adam Calhoun
Grew up country, so it's always wonderful seeing people discover country.
Grindstone is an implement found on most farms . The term was coined when it was a hand or man powered pedaled operation. Nose to the grindstone refers to pay attention to what you are doing. another way to say it is to keep your eye on the ball. Using a grindstone you have to watch many things at the same time. Speed of the stone, angle of the piece being sharpened, the force being applied to the work, how much heat is being imparted to the metal , if the watering can is still working .... you have to pay attention to what you are doing.
"Country music is three chords and the truth." - Harlan Howard
Yeah me and tyler are both from Kentucky always been a fan of his around here and of course other parts of the u.s but primarily in the south keeping your nose on the grindstone is to focus on working and providing keeping yourself from straying out of line and becoming more of an issue there are a lot of drug problems in kentucky Wich everywhere does but I've witnessed the problems here first hand do I can relate to it the most prescriptions are killers far worse for you than anything they claim to fix but God bless my state and anyone out there that may read this
Nose to/on the grindstone. Means like keep your eye on the prize. Don’t get distracted focus on what’s in front of you. Like a knife sharpener focus’s with his head down near the grindstone, if he doesn’t he’ll get cut.
Yes nose on the grindstone is a work hard reference. A grindstone is used by blacksmiths and many others to grind and sharpen tools. It can be a slow, patience trying, process to get shape and edge without overheating or damaging the blade.
So stay sharp, stay on point, and keep working at it.
Gotchaaaa! If I had heard this when I was younger I might have followed it...
You may want to check out “Vergie” by Tyler Childers and “13 silver dollars” by Colter Wall to get something a little different but still wholly theirs. The brewery sessions was early for Colter and he has grown into his voice more on his newer stuff but 13 silver dollars is still my favorite of his.
In my opinion what he’s saying in this song when he says keep your nose on the grindstone meaning keep ur eye on the target and keep focused and when he says and outta the pills he’s referring like don’t let yourself get distracted with drugs and drinking and stupid shit and keep your eye on what’s truly important
Lost Dog street band - Terrible and True, Gems on VHS version.
Colter Wall and Tyler Childers collaborated on a song called "Fraulein". Worth a listen.
The grindstone is used to sharpen blades and tools. To keep your nose to it means to keep sharpening yourself, make yourself better
Ohhh damn okay I didn’t know that! Thanks Chad!
Love the pup and the tatts
Love the channel keep up the great work also jinjer has a new song out.
As others have said, "nose on - or to - the grindstone means to focus on your work. The pills refers to the epidemic of Oxycontin abuse that swept through Appalachia in the 90s. Oxy was given the nickname "hillbilly heroin" due to the widespread abuse in the Appalachian region. It makes sense that you wouldn't feel connected to the song. Tyler Childers is pure Appalachia and his songs reflect the poverty and misery of the region.
It's definitely interesting cus I think that even though I feel connect for the different reasons, I still do feel connected. We warp the words we hear to suit our own narrative because we WANT to connect. Thanks for the background info Blindspot, it's appreciated!
Lady May & Shake the frost are also amazing songs by him!
Check out some of his other stuff, "Whitehouse Road" and "Follow you to Vergie"
Feathered Indian is a good 1
The Miller's that ground grain has to keep enough friction on the mill to grind the grain but not too much that would cause excess heat that would scorch the grain. They would keep their nose close to the brimstone at all times to make sure the grain was not burning..this was a constant effort while running the mill and the reason for the comparison. This is a common American saying.
Definitely check out more of Tyler, also I second the nomination for Whiskey Myers and nominate Turnpike Troubadors - Every Girl , 7&7 or Gin, Smoke, Lies
Mutley is a cutie, I hope she's all better soon :)
Have you listened to Colter Wall featuring Tyler Childer cover of Fraulein? also the Original 16 Brewery sessions has more of Colter Wall such as Kate McCannon, Sleeping on the Blacktop, Me and Big Dave, More Pretty Girls than One, and Bald Butte.
Nose to the grindstone simply means stay focused on your job or work. Work hard and you will be rewarded. He's from the mountains coal mining country that has been hard by unemployment and harder by drug abuse. Snorting ground up pain pills and methamphetamine. Both have devastated Appalachia. His voice is pure Appalachia.
Do check out more Tyler! His last name is pronounced more like Chill then child like chillders. Love the hair by the way. Thanks for the video!
Still crushing on you. Nice to see people dig into some authentic country and not the radio pop stuff people often associate with country. Check out Kassi Valazza, Dove Song one day.
You should check out Fraulein by Colter wall and Tyler Childers, other than that I highly suggest Excuses by Shakey Graves (make sure it’s the Sirius XM version)
