But he only uploaded this on 6th of september, which was 46 days before your comment. 1 Days = 86,400 Second, 46 days = 3,974,400 Seconds, to watch it 1 million times you would of spent 165,000,000 second watch it, meaning there is just not enough time for you to have done this.
yup, I listen to mainly Hip-Hop and never really liked country much but this kind of music that Zach's making with heart and soul and packed with truth resonates so much with me!!!!! love Zach's heartfelt writing and the passion in his vocals!!!!!
@@GoodxJbro that’s the exact situation I’m in, listen to mainly rap and r&b, but this is incredible, the imagery in the writing is what gets me every time
This man is the future of American music. I am a 67 yr old man from upstate ny who was raised on 70’s rock and roll. Zach is one of the greatest singer songwriters I have ever heard in my life. His words are life. I am a fan for life
My son worked hard playing sports all of his life. He always dreamed big. The last year of high school even though he was asked to play for some colleges for different sports, he told me he wasn’t playing. He always loved playing sports but never loved the drama that came with it. Despite how hard he worked there would always be a nasty person trying to knock him down. I actually had a Mom come up and tell me another Mom said she was sick of hearing his name called over the loud speaker. I remember thinking, “Wow, I was just saying my prayers for her child when he broke his leg.” My son never missed a practice, a camp, etc. since he started playing as a child. He worked so hard. He did not play any sports his first year of college. One day while at school the first year, he sent me this song. I cried because I knew what he was thinking without him saying a word. It was so fitting. He started practicing again and running to prepare for the next year of college sports. Now he plays this song before his college lacrosse games. Thank you for lifting my son up. The power of music is amazing and I hope that it will continue to lift you up when life gets you down as well. God bless you! My whole family loves your music Zach! 😊
Never stop working for your dreams, because the pain we endure now cannot compare to the joy that is coming! (Romans 5:8) People will always try to stand in our way, but God has a plan for each of us and we just need to stay strong in him and who we know we are. For me personally its very difficult for me to find motivation, especially when I don't know what I want to work for. Graduation is coming just around the corner for me, as well as big decisions involving my career. Your story gives me a spark of hope honestly, because I need to start remembering who is with us during our storms! Thank you for sharing, and know that your words always make a difference! God Bless you and your Son!
I'm a black 22 year old from Florida. I did not understand country culture until I listened to Zack's music. His pen is crazy. The lyrics and story telling are so poetic and human. The emotion in his voice really brings out that passion for life
You almost there Understand your skin color don't matter brother. We're all gods creatures. Stay with the blues/ country. It's thr greatest music on earth....I recommend lynyrd skynyrd...start with tuesdays gone then free bird it's the greatest southern rock blues band of all.time
@@jaybru5399 The context of my skin color was included because from my observation, country music is not very popular in our culture. I know that has to do with some stereo types and negative associations that you may infer. But I just like good music, and I know color should not be the lens through which I make every decision. I love art and I love genuine passion. And I will continue to explore and appreciate things outside my comfort zone. Thanks for the recommendations, and I hope you find joy in your life.
@NellonDesign_777 your peopoe come from the south. They deter their heritage because of the slander that comes with it. Once your people jump that hurdle youll realize. This is music, and music is for all of us. Not just white men.
It’s been 3 weeks today since my best friend took his own life, me and him liked this song and used to listen to it regularly. Since he’s been gone every lyric in the song just sounds as if it was wrote about him. RIP Ben mate, love you x
@@michaelbell75 I remember having this song in my playlist years ago. I was surprised to see how much he'd blown up without me even noticing, such a talented artist.
Whenever I listen to this song the only thing I can think about is my boy Hayden Harris. Soldier of C troop 1-89 CAV 10th Mountain Division was his favorite song and he got all us into it. Rest in peace brother. We'll never forget you. You were the best damn soldier that I ever met. God bless
Drunk af in the middle of the night, but still a perfect recording. you're not hearing music folks, you're hearing a man's soul being poured out of his mouth.
Truest dam thing I've ever heard keep up the music man this hits a whole lot diff then anything else I felt this in my heart its sum alot of people can connect to
Can't tell ya how many times im up at 3 am, joint in my mouth, tears in my eyes ,playing those strings till my fingers bleed...pouring my heart out into the night sky ....wondering if I'm the only one in this world who hates what's in the mirror ,but trys to love everything else
I found out the other day this was Zach Bryan’s first hit and he used to be in the Navy. He would play around the fire for his buddies and at a local bar just cause he liked to! One time his friends filmed him playing this and it went viral! He’s the only other person besides Elvis to be discharged from service due to success in music! Legend ❤
@@Bobby223boucherhe did say something along those lines on JRE a while back, he was honorably discharged to follow his music career, and the only person granted that privilege before him was Elvis Presley.
I found this song by accident on Spotify at work today, listened to it about 12 times and said I can’t wait to get home and watch a cover of it so I can play it on the guitar. Then I find this video and man I’m even more blown away
My girlfriend left me a week ago after she told me I was her forever. This song inspired me to chase down my dream in Georgia. Thank you sir for this great song.
Right now, I'm miles from home, in Europe. I miss North Carolina like hell yet there was no sense of home for me in Charlotte. My father was always gone overseas (as a contractor) and was gone from the time I was 8 until i graduated at 18. Now, I'm living in a place where people truly don't understand the words that pour from my mouth. Now I'm the one telling my dad I don't know when I'm coming home. Zach, you have me singing your words half a world away, wishing nothing more to be heading further and further South again ❤
I'm in northern NY on the Canadian border and it's dreary as hell here this time of year. You're making me want to go visit my best friend who lives right outside of Charlotte now.
I would like to sincerely thank every single person who has supported this man before he was famous, you are the reason he has the success and love that he does today and y’all are the reason this music has reached me. I cannot thank you all enough.
@Nathan Plumley i don't know why you've listed a load of random names are they singers? Sorry the only one I recognise from that list is counting crows
I keep coming back to this one. Really hits knowing the setting this was recorded in. Feels like listening to the guy in the barracks we all knew who played guitar in the smoke pit.
When he said “was a boy who was a dreamer, and he flew so high and proud, in a world full of people out to cut his young ass down” I felt that on a deep level
Hit me deep, I am a go jolly guy, and people have been lying at my school to try to get me expelled. Nothing can really upset me and I guess every one just dosn't like me there. On the bring of being expelled but I am still going. 17 days left.
I’m a 24 year old guy from Glasgow. Have only just found the amazing music of Zach Bryan and cannot stop listening. Voice is genuine and soulful. Coming to Nashville in the summer for first time in the states and am just amazed at this man
@@jordanhardebeck4106 I found it right when I needed to. It encouraged me to make a huge leap in my life that payed off in indescribable dividends. This man changed my life and doesn’t even know it. 🙌🏼 will always be my favorite artist
@@jarretthangliter2292 he’s got a concert on my birthday in July where I live and it’ll be the first time I’ve seen him live, I can’t wait I hope I get to meet him, he’s gotten me through many a drunken night
Holy hell, 4 years I’ve been listening to this man. How far he came from when I heard him at 150k subs. Every song seems to have that raw emotion and draws me in with each word spoken
@@aidensnacklad4178 Get lost with that nonsense. Don't tell me you believe in some imaginary magician in the sky?! Lolol I think you need to drink more water.
This song changed everything in my teenage sons life. He sent it to me, and it let me into the feelings of his soul for a minute and I understand him and his feelings in a completely different way. Thank you.
@Jessie Sanders she didn’t even say anything personal, she was thanking him and she’s aloud, I loved her comment, made me realize that I can actually show my feelings to my parents. Love don’t hate
@@heidiprice1405 Sweet girl, as a mom I beg you to share your feelings with your parents. I love when my kids open up to me, even if it's through music. Just let us in, when we all understand each other it makes the world of difference in the whole families lives. 🤗
Brother….. I don’t care what anyone says. You’re the next Johnny Cash! Your music pours from the soul brother and that’s what people need and want. Keep’em coming!!
This is how I discovered him and this reminds me of my brother who passed a few years ago, a masterpiece of emotion and culture created by a man with nothing but a guitar, passion for his craft pouring out of his body like the sweat due to a humid southern night and it resonates with me to my core.
Zach Bryan is the kind of person to inspire you to be your best self without even trying to. How’s lyrics are so powerful that he could change people if he wanted to
LYRICS : Was a boy who was a dreamer and he flew so high and proud, in a world that was full of people out to cut his young ass down. No one ever understood, a single word he said, and they’d cast him to the wolves when he wasn’t well and fed. Well boys we got a riser, a riser in our midst, and he will get the last laugh if it’s the last thing he did. And he used to roll around in that red dirt mud, but now he’s skipping town and that dreamers out for blood. Don’t stop going, going south. Cause they’ll let you play your music, real damn loud. Don’t stop heading, heading south, cause they’ll understand the words that are pourin from your mouth. And that dreamer’ll call his daddy, and tell him what he did, had the masses screaming lyrics of a messed up kid. Then he told his daddy, he was never coming back, to be cut down again in a town like that. And he surely came to learn people come to watch you fall. That dreamers out to make a name and a fool out of em all. They’ll never understand that boy and his kind, cause all they comprehend is a worthless dollar sign. Don’t stop going, going south. Cause they’ll let you play your music, real damn loud. Don’t stop headin, headin south, cause they’ll let understand the words that are pouring from your mouth (X2)
I’m 35 with a happy family, wife, 3 boys 17,12,10. Been through plenty of heartache, good, bad times. Every song for the last 2 years I’ve listen to from Zach brings me to tears at some point. I’ve heard people say they feel like the artist is singing to them and I never believed that shit until I met this guy. Thanks bro.
Got this from youtube recommendation. It finally got something right. Happens from time to time. edit: Hope you're having a great time! You've done so much. I know you're tired. This is a safe space. The weakness you feel today will be your strength tomorrow. Love is the way.
On my girls account, just got out of prison would get her to play this song to me through the phone when I was feeling down and missing home , it’s actually the last song I listened to before my sentencing I’m home now working and happy with her and proud to be a father now, felt like I was the only country guy surrounded by city folk….. hope everyone is doing good and good things come to you all in the future
@@Thediscombobulatedtippytipson Hanging out with bad crowd got involved in some stuff I shouldn’t have. ended up getting hit with Trafficking and Conspiracy, Pointing loaded firearm. Was first ever time getting in trouble…..
Lyrics are very good although if you ever wrote a song there is a lot of lyrics you just come up on the spot for what sounds good. He could have an amazing life and never really went through what he wrote. Then again he could have been through it all.
IMO, the ability to transfer emotion through a song is an exceptional gift. Many sing great songs with great voices. Few can do what this young man does.
Man what a performance. Raw and emotional. Back in 2020 this was the first song I ever heard from Zack. I came across it randomly from my suggested music. It wasn't quite country to me, it was just a damn good song that made me feel something, and it felt relatable. That day he became one of my favorite artists.
Humans are amazing, seriously tho. the fact that he’s singing, moving both hands differently, moving his leg to the beat are all being processed by the brain at the same time, it’s so complex really. We are amazing
You want to know what’s more amazing than humans? Our Creator who sent His only begotten son, Jesus Christ, to die in our place so that all of our sins could be forgiven. This sacrifice appeased God’s wrath against our wickedness. Whoever believes in the gospel Christ has the right to be to be reconciled to God the Father, and be legally declared a child of God.
@@71hammyman as a musician myself, this isn't complex for anyone with a background in music. I think what he's saying is how advanced the human brain is that we can do things like this with ease. Not that the music is complex, but that humans have a very high ceiling.
@@boogie8844 yeah that's fair enough, cant really add anything to that tbf. Although I think it's funny what people don't realise they are easily capable of doing in a short amount of time.
Having a couple cold beers listening to random accustics. What a beautiful blessing brother keep em coming from NZ the rythem runs deep all over the world ❤❤❤❤
“That dreamer called his daddy to tell him what he did as the masses scream the lyrics of a messed up kid” One of my favorite lyrics to this day. He did it! The masses scream the lyrics of a messed up kid as loud as they can!
His voice was dead set serious in that part as well. This version is better than the recorded version. I've loved this dude and wish to meet him someday.
Am I the only one who apparently misinterpreted this song. I thought it was about a kid who was misunderstood and kept getting bullied and ended up shooting up the school. According to this comments section, I’m way off.
Sharing his music while learning to load missiles in the Navy. Thank you for your service for this nation , and now thank you for your service for blessing us with your music. Your concert in Vegas last week was incredible ❤

Sorry to hear my fellow wanderer on this adventure and mystery we call life. She and some stuff might be gone but the most important relationship in your life is the one with yourself.

Don't steer away from your path. Preach them words. I walked away and can say you being a pastor is a great discipline for oneself. Times will get better.
Same here brother. Been three years. Lost my marriage and ministry within the span of 6mths all bc my exwife wanted to live " her best life". You got a unique pain, and I understand every bit of it.
Him live sounds exactly like the studio version. That is raw talent. Unfortunately this kind of country doesn't last. I can't wait to hear more from this dude. He deserves the fame he is getting.
@@zachbryan7619 Imagine making a fake Zach Bryan account and then commenting on his real page when you don't even have the same profile picture as him. Lol
Listening to this from the UK, I finally see the prospect of traversing across the sea to a new land, full of prospect and promise, some where to start a new life and feeling that freedom Americans hold on to so strongly to this day
I'm a 50 year old metal head I've seen everyone from Slayer to Morrissey. Seen Alice in Chains in 93. Layne Staley is like the only person I really listen to. I came across Zach about 8 months ago. Just got done doing a 3 year bit and decided to stay clean and sober when I got home. This video was one of the first i came across when I started playing music on CZcams. I put him in the same ball park as layne. Bellevue me that was huge and some of my close friends were shocked. I'm not sure yet if he's playing in the game yet. He's in the park though. Much love Zach hope to be bringing my kids to see you as soon as your in Ohio.
You know it’s good when no one is bitching about it being filmed vertically.
Yeah yu right
Filming vertically now is sometimes cool. It fills the whole screen on a phone. Just don’t watch CZcams on a computer like a fucking weirdo

Again. Jepp!! This song is gold 😊
I'm here
🤙
Yessir! Still here now!
I keep coming back to this one. Really hits knowing the setting this was recorded in. Feels like listening to the guy in the barracks we all knew who played guitar in the smoke pit.
what was the setting?
Blowing up on reddit right now. Great song, add it spotify!
That's where we're all from!
Amen. Song gave me shivers Dudes certainly got soul. Spotify!!
From Uruguay!! Excellent spirit my man! Beautiful song :)
Don't worry. Us redditors will forget about him in 2 days!
Second this. Add to Spotify
When he said “was a boy who was a dreamer, and he flew so high and proud, in a world full of people out to cut his young ass down” I felt that on a deep level
Listened to this song a couple times didn't really grab that line till now but I feel it
Deep
No one ever understood a single word he said and they cast him to the wolves when he wasnt well and fed hit me hard
Fr
Hit me deep, I am a go jolly guy, and people have been lying at my school to try to get me expelled. Nothing can really upset me and I guess every one just dosn't like me there. On the bring of being expelled but I am still going. 17 days left.
I’m a 24 year old guy from Glasgow. Have only just found the amazing music of Zach Bryan and cannot stop listening. Voice is genuine and soulful. Coming to Nashville in the summer for first time in the states and am just amazed at this man
Im currently a Marine right now and you have no idea how much your music helps me get through the long lonely nights in the barracks!!
Thank u for your service. 🇺🇸
Yes. Thank you for your service.
Fun fact, Zach actually recorded this video while in the navy, thank you for you service sir
@@noaheoutdoors haha yea I see that and thank you
Thank you for ur service sir
This song has been hittin a lot different lately...
i listen to this every day because its just so good an it hits different drunk...
I was born in Tennessee and right now I live in New Hampshire. The south is where I belong. The lyrics hit close to home
Yeah man feelin hella nostalgic since i found it back last year
You ain’t kidding bub
Faxxxx
2 years later I’m still here with chills. Well done Zach, damn well done.

Man I remember finding this song when it had like 800k views it’s insane now
@@jordanhardebeck4106 I found it right when I needed to. It encouraged me to make a huge leap in my life that payed off in indescribable dividends. This man changed my life and doesn’t even know it. 🙌🏼 will always be my favorite artist

I DID NOT EXPECT HIS RAW VOICE TO BE SO GOOD!?!?!?!

Thank you mate don’t care about the amp bring in back the strings!
Holy hell, 4 years I’ve been listening to this man. How far he came from when I heard him at 150k subs. Every song seems to have that raw emotion and draws me in with each word spoken
I wish more artists realized these are the kind of recordings a lot of listeners want
“Cause all they comprehend is a worthless dollar sign” hits hard. This guy seems so genuine.
KillerKlown really creative, catchy song writer!
I love this guy!
For now..
Can tell how much this song means to him from the facial expressions. Blessed to listen to this song

Zach Bryan is the best singer ever! I recently went to a concert in Greenville and it was 🤩!
Zach, Brian I listen to your music every day
i love the fact that this randomly appeared in my feed
Rewatching and saw this went to thumbs up and saw I already did
Same man, never listened to him on youtube before but I do have this song in a playlist of mine that has all this kinda if stuff in it
bruh
Me too lol
This song changed everything in my teenage sons life. He sent it to me, and it let me into the feelings of his soul for a minute and I understand him and his feelings in a completely different way. Thank you.
Thats sweet someday i hope i can convince my guitar to sound that good
@Jessie Sanders That's my choice, not yours and I didn't say anything personal.
@Jessie Sanders she didn’t even say anything personal, she was thanking him and she’s aloud, I loved her comment, made me realize that I can actually show my feelings to my parents. Love don’t hate
@@catlynlapekes5779 your fine love ignore him, what you said was beautiful and it can change so many perspectives, have a good day love❤️
@@heidiprice1405 Sweet girl, as a mom I beg you to share your feelings with your parents. I love when my kids open up to me, even if it's through music. Just let us in, when we all understand each other it makes the world of difference in the whole families lives. 🤗
This 64yr old grandma LOVES this song!!!! Thanks
Saw him live in Glasgow, UK this weekend and it blows my mind that this was 3 years ago! He's incredible!
That’s right Zach play the fire outta that guitar!
Grandma Betty what kind words! We need more people like you

Music isn't about the genre....it's about emotion
@Trina Branam okay 😁
YESS SIRR
Charlie Day lets go for a spaghetti day
Brother….. I don’t care what anyone says. You’re the next Johnny Cash! Your music pours from the soul brother and that’s what people need and want.
Keep’em coming!!
This is how I discovered him and this reminds me of my brother who passed a few years ago, a masterpiece of emotion and culture created by a man with nothing but a guitar, passion for his craft pouring out of his body like the sweat due to a humid southern night and it resonates with me to my core.
Best raw song I've seen on CZcams in at least 3 years. Guitar and vocals, straight into the mic. No mix, no effects. Just plain good.
Check out tyler childers
Look up john moreland
Look up Kate Mccannon by Colter Wall

This guy is gonna save country music
It needs to get back to its roots with artists like Zach. People want it back!
Yeah I don’t like country at all always shunned it but I’m here
Dudes songwriting is different he’s not corny and twangy
Save? luke kept it on his back for to long
Never liked country music but when I found zach bryan my entire music taste changed lmao
This song hits so different when you realize that Playing your music real damn loud, isn't about Music. 🖤
The lyrics in this song are incredible. South is anywhere you want it to be and loud music is anything that makes you happy.
Zach Bryan is the kind of person to inspire you to be your best self without even trying to. How’s lyrics are so powerful that he could change people if he wanted to
DON'T. CHANGE. A. THING.
Your music and sound are PERFECT.
The red eyes a bit freaky.
This guy is 10,000% correct. What an awesome sound
He rollin hard
LYRICS : Was a boy who was a dreamer and he flew so high and proud, in a world that was full of people out to cut his young ass down. No one ever understood, a single word he said, and they’d cast him to the wolves when he wasn’t well and fed. Well boys we got a riser, a riser in our midst, and he will get the last laugh if it’s the last thing he did. And he used to roll around in that red dirt mud, but now he’s skipping town and that dreamers out for blood.
Don’t stop going, going south. Cause they’ll let you play your music, real damn loud. Don’t stop heading, heading south, cause they’ll understand the words that are pourin from your mouth.
And that dreamer’ll call his daddy, and tell him what he did, had the masses screaming lyrics of a messed up kid. Then he told his daddy, he was never coming back, to be cut down again in a town like that.
And he surely came to learn people come to watch you fall. That dreamers out to make a name and a fool out of em all. They’ll never understand that boy and his kind, cause all they comprehend is a worthless dollar sign.
Don’t stop going, going south. Cause they’ll let you play your music, real damn loud. Don’t stop headin, headin south, cause they’ll let understand the words that are pouring from your mouth (X2)

I’m 35 with a happy family, wife, 3 boys 17,12,10. Been through plenty of heartache, good, bad times. Every song for the last 2 years I’ve listen to from Zach brings me to tears at some point. I’ve heard people say they feel like the artist is singing to them and I never believed that shit until I met this guy. Thanks bro.
Dude me too. I felt everything he writes about in my early to mid 20's and it's cool to be taken back to remind you that life wasn't better back then.
I don’t even listen to county like that. And this is a good ass song.

Facts
Got this from youtube recommendation. It finally got something right. Happens from time to time.
edit: Hope you're having a great time! You've done so much. I know you're tired. This is a safe space. The weakness you feel today will be your strength tomorrow. Love is the way.
You're not the only one haha
I didn’t either. But is it an issue if most did?
@@TexanBoy3 nah it's good too. :)
I didnt
CateDoge I just re read what I said and thought that it sounded like it came off aggressively...not my intentions. Sorry if you thought the same!! :/
On my girls account, just got out of prison would get her to play this song to me through the phone when I was feeling down and missing home , it’s actually the last song I listened to before my sentencing I’m home now working and happy with her and proud to be a father now, felt like I was the only country guy surrounded by city folk….. hope everyone is doing good and good things come to you all in the future
Been there done that. Haven't been in trouble in 15 years. Welcome home, stay outta trouble, enjoy freedom 🍻
If nobody tells you I will. Proud of you! It's all about the kids!

@@Thediscombobulatedtippytipson Hanging out with bad crowd got involved in some stuff I shouldn’t have. ended up getting hit with Trafficking and Conspiracy, Pointing loaded firearm. Was first ever time getting in trouble…..
this is hands down the best version of this song!
You can see the anger in his face. This isn’t music, this is a window into this mans struggle and it speaks to me.
Unless we are alone in the struggle physically. Guess a lone wolf still howls and an angry bear still growls from time to time.
Lyrics are very good although if you ever wrote a song there is a lot of lyrics you just come up on the spot for what sounds good. He could have an amazing life and never really went through what he wrote. Then again he could have been through it all.
@Sleve McDichael yep. When you have served with the man and heard it in person, it hits different.
@Sleve McDichael L

IMO, the ability to transfer emotion through a song is an exceptional gift. Many sing great songs with great voices. Few can do what this young man does.
Man what a performance. Raw and emotional.
Back in 2020 this was the first song I ever heard from Zack. I came across it randomly from my suggested music. It wasn't quite country to me, it was just a damn good song that made me feel something, and it felt relatable. That day he became one of my favorite artists.
Am I the only one who’s re-watching this for the 50th time in a row? This is genius. Good job man
Marcos Azevedo shit I thought I was the only one
Don't worry, I've done it too.
I watch it like 4x a week
Also it’s a lot better than the studio version
Why do that when you can just download the song
@@slime1653 to download it, you need CZcams premium don't you?
Humans are amazing, seriously tho. the fact that he’s singing, moving both hands differently, moving his leg to the beat are all being processed by the brain at the same time, it’s so complex really. We are amazing
You want to know what’s more amazing than humans? Our Creator who sent His only begotten son, Jesus Christ, to die in our place so that all of our sins could be forgiven. This sacrifice appeased God’s wrath against our wickedness. Whoever believes in the gospel Christ has the right to be to be reconciled to God the Father, and be legally declared a child of God.
oce that’s not amazing that’s a fairytale for the weak minded
@@71hammyman as a musician myself, this isn't complex for anyone with a background in music. I think what he's saying is how advanced the human brain is that we can do things like this with ease. Not that the music is complex, but that humans have a very high ceiling.
@@boogie8844 yeah that's fair enough, cant really add anything to that tbf.
Although I think it's funny what people don't realise they are easily capable of doing in a short amount of time.
@@71hammyman think of the actual processes the BRAIN is doing and making....tell me what other ANIMAL on this planet can do what we can...
Having a couple cold beers listening to random accustics. What a beautiful blessing brother keep em coming from NZ the rythem runs deep all over the world ❤❤❤❤

Counting down the days till Friday brother that's when I sit on my porch, drink and listen to music. God Bless You Be Safe.
Thats right who can’t love country🇺🇸
3 years later, you made it big. Sitting in Tulsa listening to the radio. An u came on.
you know he’s a good singer when he sounds the same acoustic and in a studio, i love this dudes music so much!
Jesus Christ loves you u
Like Tlyer Childers does 🤠
Chief keef does too therefore he is the goat
@@jesuslovesyou2616keep that brainwash outta here
“That dreamer called his daddy to tell him what he did as the masses scream the lyrics of a messed up kid” One of my favorite lyrics to this day. He did it! The masses scream the lyrics of a messed up kid as loud as they can!
Jesus Christ loves you u
His voice was dead set serious in that part as well. This version is better than the recorded version. I've loved this dude and wish to meet him someday.
Now he's selling out arenas in the middle of a snow storm
“the lyrics of a messed up kid" aren’t his, they’re from all the sh*te that’s in the charts nowadays.
Am I the only one who apparently misinterpreted this song. I thought it was about a kid who was misunderstood and kept getting bullied and ended up shooting up the school. According to this comments section, I’m way off.
Even in a drunken state in the dead of night zach can't sing or write a bad song! Legend that's going to be remembered for a very long time
Sharing his music while learning to load missiles in the Navy. Thank you for your service for this nation , and now thank you for your service for blessing us with your music. Your concert in Vegas last week was incredible ❤
Hello, how are you doing today? Thanks for your love and support🎸💖

@@sunshinej2786 I can tell that you are surprised. Well, I don’t often reply to comments on CZcams due to my busy schedules so I think it’d be great to keep In touch with you on . Are you on Google chat?
Why everyone saying he’s on rails? First mans someplace tropical and hot. Just appreciate the good music drunk stoned or riding. Shit good
It’s amazing! But he’s geeked out of his mind and it’s fantastic!
Tropical? That's Oklahoma in mid August
Well said my friend well said..
@@oklahomaoutdoors4856 lol that's northwest Indiana in August
@@oklahomaoutdoors4856 best friends folks weren't well off and never used ac, hated sleepovers at his place cause they had a few window units and I'd sweat my balls off
"As the masses screamed the lyrics of a messed up kid" - This hit a chord deep inside me!
Agreed
This recording, specifically, always brings me back to having bonfires in the woods behind my house growing up. Cheers to nostalgia
I have a comment on here from 4 years ago about wanting this song on a streaming platform, and just yesterday 3-9-24 I watched ZB play to a full arena in Pittsburgh. Our boy made it.
I’m a pastor that lost everything in a divorce. Your music has put words to my pain. Thank you.
Sorry to hear my fellow wanderer on this adventure and mystery we call life. She and some stuff might be gone but the most important relationship in your life is the one with yourself. Just keep your heart open and let universe (for you I guess it's god) guide you to where you are meant to be. We belive in you, you got this! Find your purpose and give it away! /A brother ( from another mother )
You gain everything when you lose everything. Welcome to the grind! 🙏
Thank you for your service
Don't steer away from your path. Preach them words. I walked away and can say you being a pastor is a great discipline for oneself. Times will get better.
Same here brother. Been three years. Lost my marriage and ministry within the span of 6mths all bc my exwife wanted to live " her best life". You got a unique pain, and I understand every bit of it.
Him live sounds exactly like the studio version. That is raw talent. Unfortunately this kind of country doesn't last. I can't wait to hear more from this dude. He deserves the fame he is getting.
Just go to his channel
@@ididathink5295 yea saying you can't wait to hear more means you want to hear more new stuff in the future
I have a feeling he is going to be the artist to make this kinda of country last.
Late to the party. But this came on Spotify yesterday. My heart broke on the spot. This shit gives me the chills.
been listening since i found this song 4 years ago, nobody deserves the come up like zach does. you can hear that heartbeat with every strum.

You damn right buddy. I’ll die on my feet before I live on my knees!
I really hope you find that journey in life, brother. Much love.
I'm also from UK, I absolutely feel this comment brother, respect.

@@travis6694 I'm just playing around haha
Youd be surprised what country not played on the radio has to offer. See: Jason isbell and the 400 unit
I'm a 50 year old metal head I've seen everyone from Slayer to Morrissey. Seen Alice in Chains in 93. Layne Staley is like the only person I really listen to. I came across Zach about 8 months ago. Just got done doing a 3 year bit and decided to stay clean and sober when I got home. This video was one of the first i came across when I started playing music on CZcams. I put him in the same ball park as layne. Bellevue me that was huge and some of my close friends were shocked. I'm not sure yet if he's playing in the game yet. He's in the park though. Much love Zach hope to be bringing my kids to see you as soon as your in Ohio.
There's no one else like this man he puts his heart and soul in every song you can fill what he's singing his music just hits home so hard
you should look at sam barber! hes pretty good like zack! have a great day.
eh, hes alright I guess. I could name multiple artists who sound exactly like this, nothing really original or new from him
Add it to Apple Music so I don’t have to keep playing this video
yes please
buy an android and download it XD
Pleaseeeee
He is on Apple Music just not this song
This song needs to be out there Zach. I listen to it like 3 times a day
