- Post-release edit: If you witness child abuse or neglect, PLEASE report it to YOUR STATE's child protective services or appropriate state agency. Abuse/neglect is largely handled at the state level. Appropriate numbers are just a simple google search away. IF YOU SEE IT, REPORT IT!! Save a life.

You guys should get a PO Box so people don't randomly show up at your house.
Randomly showing up at our houses would be an extraordinarily dangerous endeavor. - Keith
I mean, there wasn't anything that could have been done. You can't help someone who doesn't come out and tell people they're being abused. Abuse isn't always noticeable, remember, she was covering her bruises, meaning the teachers probably didn't know. Dud's daughter was probably the only friend she told she was getting abused, but by then it was too late. When he went to report what his daughter had heard, she was already killed. Regardless of trying to save someone, not everyone can be saved.
This story had to be told. It took Jason Michael years to write this. Everytime he tried he would get a migraine. I think this should be played in school every year
It probably should be.
It would have helped me and my family. But who knows?
The most powerful line "because there's nothing anyone WOULD do."
The true story in this video was a teacher playing that song for his class and having students leave the class in both anger and sadness. It states in the video after its over that they had a couple students step forward to report domestic abuse.
Whoa. Well, I guess I could see how that could happen. Terrible stuff.
and don't forget that it was Jason Michael Carroll's high school teacher who encouraged him to become a country superstar that was the teacher in the video.
I was skeptical about that by how close some of those camera shots were on the girl that left the classroom, before she left the classroom.
And how conveniently placed they were outside where she went and sat down.
@@Gutslinger The story is true. The classroom and the teacher is a recreation.
This song brings a “shameful “ topic right in your face. As someone who went through multiple abusive foster homes this song made me feel seen when I was young. It’s not the victims shame it’s the perpetrator’s, talking about it is the only way we can face it and hopefully make changes. Foster kids and abused kids have no voice and no rights to stand up for themselves. I live in Montana and it’s still legal to hit your kids as long as it doesn’t leave a bruise after 48 hours. Abuse is abuse. I really appreciate your reaction. These kids need more people to care enough to change the “CPS” system.
Being married to a social worker, I get it. And I agree. - Keith
The ppl of country music CARE about bringing awareness to these types of abuse. If they can make more ppl FEEL things with these songs, the more that those ppl might actually help do something about it. More genres should have as much integrity
Country music is called three cords and the truth,! It talks about all aspects of life! It makes you think!
I have a backhoe & a wood chipper.
Country music brings up true life.
Jason Michael Carroll is the blond guy you see in the video and he's the writer and singer of this song. I'm not sure where it's written, but at the end of the video, it says that after hearing this, many reported being abused, where one child was saved. Carroll took two years to write "Alyssa Lies." The song was so emotionally painful to write that he got migraines while writing. It is based on a true story of a girl that wasn't saved from abuse in time. It seemed to Carroll that no matter what he wrote, he would never be satisfied with it.
Country music tells a story. Sometimes it is used to bring awareness to deep issues that people don't like to talk about. It can also be used to help people deal with things. A good example of that is Craig Morgan's My Father, My son, and the Holy Ghost. It is about losing his son and having to live everyday.
That awareness thing happens in a lot of genres. The first big one I remember was Live Aid in the 80s. That was quite the show. It was all over the news for weeks.
Oh yes. I remember Queen kind of took it over with the best concert, ever.
Jason Michael Carroll is a country artist on an independent label. He has come through hell and back and has been sober for over a year. He also was in the Marines and is from NC
I was always at my kids elementary school. I was room mother, library, health room, I saw and loved so many kids. One day the principal came to me and asked “ can you take $&#@ home with you.” Yes absolutely, I scooped that child up and took him for a burger, then on to TJMaxx for clothes, he/her hid his face the whole time. Then I picked up my kids brought them home and they played the rest of the day. We had that sweet child for 8 months, the county took the child and we begged to the child stay.
Country music is about bringing the truth out for the blind to see. Real life and not some Hollywood BS.
I still cry everytime I hear this song...we don't know what goes on behind closed doors. Prayers for everyone
A child of the 70’s. You didn’t talk about anything that went on in the home. Many knew, but it was an era of people “minding their business”.
Was the same in the 80s. I think it really started to change in the late 90s.
The other thing I noticed....watching this reaction again for and with my wife.....you cut off the video where they tell us that this song/video prompted some of the children, in that class, to come forward with domestic issues and got help, and one girl was removed from her situation.
I've reached out to some heavy-hitting assets in the child protection world looking for a national number that's "established" as a solid one. (So we can add it to the vid description.) The word I'm getting is that aside from the CMEC, all of that work is handled at the state level. So for legit numbers, there are 50 of them. All any national org could do is refer to the appropriate state.
Also, we've updated the video description.
Yeah they should have let the video finish and not stop it where they did.
“Country music hits ya in the feels.” True that.
A bunch of it does for sure. And you guys seem to like it when we react to the "feels" songs. - Keith
I was thinking you would want a refill before the song was over. I cry every time I hear this song. I worked for child protective services for 19 years. I saw and heard more than I ever wanted too. I would go home and cry and hug my kids.
Yeah, my wife was a social worker in Detroit. I have some idea, but it's not the same as seeing those horrors first hand.
Scotty McCreery “5 More Minutes” or his song “This is It” are both great country songs.
We'll add those to our list. (That list is getting big).
@@BourbonCountryReacts, 5 more minutes is a great Happy song for you
One of a handful of songs that will make this grown man cry. Every. Time. For a more upbeat song of his, peep "I Can Sleep When I'm Dead". Also a good one of his: "Where I Come From".
Hurry home by him tugs at the heart strings also.
Most important line in the whole song "because there was nothing anyone WOULD do" if there was nothing anyone could do that would be one thing but the fact that noone WOULD do what the COULD is heart wrenching
Agreed. One thing worth pointing out however, is that in almost every state (probably all 50) teachers are mandated reporters. She had no choice, by law, but to report.
Though, when this song was released, that may not have been true yet. I don't know when it came out. - Keith
I was about to point that out myself
It's a beautiful song very sad it should be played more on the radio cause I'm sure it's still going on
Songs as this, is to bring awareness to the child abuse epidemic. It happens too often. Here I’m my town, a couple literally starved their youngest. At 1 yr she weighed 8 lbs. may they rot!
That’s not all that country does!! But it’s why I absolutely love country and rock There is one song that I have only seen two reactions from you tubers on it, and trust me, I’ve been looking a very long time. Please react to the original video of Daryl Worley song called Have you forgotten? And is there any way you can play that in memory of my veteran husband who died this Valentines Day unexpectedly, I found him in bed and he was on 53. He was a 24 year Retired US Army Veteran and we were 3 weeks short of our 15th wedding anniversary 😥💔😥 He also had a bachelor and masters degree that he earned while active duty. I love him an miss him every day. If you can’t , I understand but thanks anyway 😁😁
We'll get that on the list. And Dustin will make a note about the memory.
Sharon, I want to express my condolences for your loss, and hope you have comforting memories of him.
@@dalefleming6427 Thank you so much for your very sweet message, it really did mean a lot to me! Thank you for your condolences and his memories are very comforting but this time of year is getting really hard..but i’m really trying ❤️😊😇 Thanks again, have a great week 😊😊😊
This is why I love country every song makes you feel something they are brave enough to bring light to some of the most important topics that plague us as humans.
I wouldn't say every song, but yes, country seems to excel at this. - Keith
I got a few for you to add to your list of reactions. The only "hit the feels" songs on the below list would be "Where Were You When the World Stopped Turing" and "He Gets That From You". They aren't talking about abuse or anything, just reflecting.
Tracy Byrd - "Watermelon Crawl" or "Ten Rounds with Jose Cuervo"
Reba McEntire - "I'm a Survivor" or "The Night the Lights Went Out in Georgia" or "He Gets That From You"
Tim McGraw - "Don't Take the Girl" or "Live Like You Were Dieing"
Alan Jackson - "Where Were You When the World Stopped Turning" or "Remember When"
We'll add those to our list. Except "Remember When." We've already reacted to that one: czcams.com/video/2wJquS29saw/video.html
@@BourbonCountryReacts Thank you for the link. I'll be checking that out shortly.
Concrete angel by Martina McBride is another song about a child being abused At home
We've gotten a LOT of requests for that one. Not sure when we'll get back to MM, but I'm betting it's at the top of the list. (Dustin manages it) - Keith
Yea, country music is usually all about the heartstrings. The favorite themes are Love, Loss and Country. You wont hear a genre of music that is as parotitic as country is. The love songs are as pure as it gets too, and when they write about loss and serious matters....it will get you every time! I would recommend the songs, Tim McGraw: The Highway Don't Care. Tim McGraw: Don't Take The Girl. Lonestar: I'm Already There!!! Such a great song!
We'll add those to our list. But we're finding not all country is all heartstrings. There are some good-time/party tunes as well.
I went to school with Jason and I love watching the reaction videos to this song, cause it is bringing this horrible issue to light and helping people to “see something, say something” my daughter has a friend that confided in her that she and her sister was being abused, by her mom (who was a substitute teacher) my daughter came to me and told me and showed me the text that she and her friend was having and in those messages the friend told my daughter that she was going to unalive herself that night and she very well tried it. It scared my daughter so bad, so she came to me about it, and I immediately called 911 and sent them the text log and the address. The cops went immediately and got her to the hospital just in time, she did live and the law took it from there. What was even worse was that my daughter was NOT the only person she had told about the abuse and what she had planned to do, and that cry for help fell by the wayside. To say I was and still am VERY VERY proud of my daughter is a understatement. “SEE SOMETHING DO SOMETHING” even if you don’t believe what is being said, cause it can and does save lives.
Florida passes bill allowing death penalty for child sexual abusers.which passed by a vote of 34-5 - will also allow juries to hand down death sentences by votes of at least 8-4,Ron DeSantis For President . I'm so proud to live in Florida.
We want you to carry these messages to your people. The metal heads, the grunge crowd.. everyone. This isn’t all that country music pertains to, but it’s important.
This is a good message to carry.
Kenny Roger's "coward of the County" is one song that you should react to
I know I've heard it. I think Dustin has too. We try to stick to true first-time reactions here at BCR. - Keith
The king of country is awesome George Strait song troubadour is great song he has 60 number one hits
We'll add that to our list. Thanks!
@@BourbonCountryReacts I know you said “Here for the bourbon “ which reminded me of a great fun song I really think y’all would like by Gretchen Wilson “Here For The Party” (LIVE VERSION=MOST ENERGETIC AND JUST ALOT OF FUN) Is there a place to pay to do request? I would y’all to react to this and a lot more. You have a nice fun and know when to be serious all nice vibes. Just accidentally stumbled onto your page when I about gave up on reactors and how much they quit including their subscribers ✌️🥰 😅 always good y’all and yours❣️
Sometimes people can't do anything when people won't let you. Last year around Thanksgiving a little boy in my son's class on zoom used a trash bag full of clothes for a chair. I noticed his background and this day they were talking about what they did and this little boy was so excited that his grandmother was able to save enough to get him a cheeseburger from McDonald's for his Thanksgiving. Turned out this family was hit hard with covid and they were starving. I asked the teacher if we could please help this family. I could get them food within the hour I just please need the name or address something anything. The school refused to give me anything and said that family is alright and times are hard for everyone. I kept begging they moved my son from that class so I don't know how that little boy is.
Ugh. Sadly, this is a commonly repeated story. Few pay attention.
I know this was a while ago but I believe others like reactions like these because it reminds all of us that there are REAL LIVE people out there who are COMPASSIONATE and still feel and there are times we really need that reminder. All this nasty media and the craziness in the world its nice to know there are real folks with compassion and real feelings in their hearts. So songs like this and Martina's music kind of hit close to home and at the same time remind us that there are people out there who care and give a damn about others.
Bad thing is this happens all the time. Theres children all over going through this exact thing and nobody even knows.
I love you guys-- ive been listening to this song since it came out and I always cry The blonde headed guy in the video is Jason Michael Carroll and is playing the little girls dad that was the friend-- you didnt see the end of the video where it said several other children came forward
For feel-good songs, try "Lucky Man", "Some People Change", or " She Couldn't Change Me" - all 3 are by Montgomery Gentry.
We'll add those to the list. Getting a couple of feel-goods into the rotation would be nice.
Ugh this song makes me cry every time! Country is hard because they do touch on very heavy topics, war, addiction, abuse etc. There plenty of fun time songs too! My suggestions are:
1. Military song- If you’re reading this by Tim McGraw
2. Fun song- When it rains, it pours by Luke Combs
Also Shameless by Garth Brooks is in my top 10!
Check out the reaction to your #1 here: czcams.com/video/sJAIVNf1j9w/video.html
Stay tuned for when it rains it pours
I've added 'shameless' to our list.
@@BourbonCountryReacts awesome, thanks guys!
You would be surprised how few people intercede in abuse situations. Especially family members.
Howdy neighbors! Fellow Hoosier just a couple counties away here. I would suggest Alan Jackson "Good Time" or Dierks Bently "What Was I Thinkin" if you want some more upbeat and fun options! Glad I found your channel.
Just noticed you are already familiar with Dierks. I'll check out what else you've done before making more suggestions.
Added a vote for Good Time. -Dustin
I worked in the public school system for many years and saw so much of this 💩. This was the reason I left the school system because one of my young students was being abu$ed and when the parents found out the school was reporting it, they took her and her siblings out of the school and left the state. Some people say you get used to it after seeing it over and over again...THAT IS NOT TRUE! I haven't been in that career field for 21 years and hearing about this still shatters my heart.
My other two songs-to-cry-over like this are: Concrete Angel (Martina McBride) and The Little Girl (John Michael Montgomery)
We reacted to Concrete angel here:

@@BourbonCountryReacts I forgot one: Here Comes Goodbye by Rascal Flatts (sry, I didn't check if you've texted to that either 😅)
Guys you missed the true story. sorry I'm delayed in this response however the true story isn't about Alyssa as that's the video that the teacher played that's the artist created to a group of high schoolers that are watching the video and writing their reactions in their journal. That's the true story. Where the teenager who is being abused left the room and the teacher followed her out where somebody him did something for the abuse teenager. And that program and it's growth in high schools and spreading throughout the country. That's the true story. It doesn't take away from the video story about Alyssa that thing happens absolutely no doubt been in that world myself. However the Alyssa part is the catalyst to the journaling true story. Maybe hold off on the bourbon until after the video - nah cheers to ya
Oops lol I just looked at the comments before mine and looks like everyone told you the same thing I did lol you guys are doing good so far I just subscribed a few minutes ago and am looking through your video list this one is a year old and I got a ways to go
Alyssa lies about her bruises... As most people in an abusive situation do!!! They say they fell or bumped into something!! The lyric is "theres nothing anyone would do" which unfortunately is so true!! I knew a girl in middle school whos father abused her and her twins sister and the school counselor just brushed it off when they did get the courage to say something!!
The spread of "mandated reporter" laws throughout the states have helped with that considerably.
Hank Williams Jr. “A Country Boy Can Survive”(Official Music Video).
That one is on the list.
If what I remember is correct, the singer went to tell the school folks about what his daughter told him, and found out the girl had been beat to death by her stepdad. 😔
Please react to Toby Keith's I Wanna Talk About Me and How Do You Like Me Now videos.
We'll add those to the list, if they're not already there. Been getting a lot of requests for Toby Keith stuff.
Toby Keith is a riot
Always makes me cry
Hit us in the feels for sure.
its reall sad that the singer of this song has passed on.R.I.P.
Yes the guy with the long hair is Jason Michael Carrol!!
The true story part is them showing this in classrooms.
They r trying to bring awareness to abuse and to speak up when u see it
Music is (in my opinion) the best means to share emotions and I can’t stand music that doesn’t make me feel something. Sad, happy, energized etc… doesnt matter what but it’s gotta have feeling
I completely agree. - Keith
This is tbe only song song I known he's ever done but its a fantastic song
Keith....Thank you for your service brother
Thanks.
Woodchipper go "BRRRRR"!! 🤣🤣🤣
yuuuup. - Keith
He also sings living our love song.
Deff should check it out.
I cry everytime I here this
Kinda proves you have a pulse, I think. - Keith
This song is about his regret for not acting.
I know that I am not the only one to point out that the sign said honor thy father. Apparently it was the father.
Keith, it's just song lyrics, bringing to light a problem that exists! The song is meant to increase awareness. Hearing it might be what someone needs to be the person that does something to stop this from happening to another child!
Finish the video- the further true story is in the last 30 seconds. Please finish- the message saves others.
And I'm not opposed to the wood chipper or a cranial ventilation by a metallic object traveling at a hypersonic speed works quite well to sort out a situation like that 😉
Lead injections effectively cure many maladies. - Keith
This is why you put the captions on
It looks like you overlooked the very end of the video like a lot of people do, and mentions how a couple of people in the classroom watching a video actually reported abuse after watching it in class and got help, and had information to help people find help.
Except we have a pinned comment with info...
It was would do but he found out too late as often happens.
"Would" is bad enough. Maybe worse.
But "could" would have been a lie.
Play the videos to the end. You miss important parts by stopping before it's done.. there were things to read at the end.. some give websites people can report abuse too etc.. other than that loved reaction.. oh, tip for ya.. arrow buttons on the keyboard will jump 5 seconds back if you hit the left arrow or ahead if you hit right.
Ya'll don't know it yet, but you're not rock guys, you're now country guys 😉 your wives are loving this! As you're slowly converted to county. It's a beautiful transformation, I've been watching ya'll wave off the "dust in the air" you can't fight it, it gives all the feels ❤😉
Hah, it's possible. Some of the "country" we've been hearing on the channel is more rock than rock these days.
You missed the ending where they said a bunch of kids came forward after seeing the video and one girl got removed from her situation it was implied that teen girl was abused
Country music is about telling stories. Buy it also tries to make people aware that abuse happens. Yes, the blonde is the singer. He was runner up or 3rd place, or something on American Idol. He has a song called "Where I'm from" that's a lil more upbeat. I have no friends! 🤪 okay, I do but we're scattered across the country...
One of the ways I've heard country music described as three chords in the truth. Sometimes it makes you sad sometimes it makes you cry sometimes it makes you so angry you can't see straight and sometimes it makes you so happy you can't be anything else. Right now I would love to hear Toby Keith courtesy of the Red White and Blue and angry Americans.
We'll add "Courtesy" to the list. As for Angry Americans, we've reacted to that one. Check it out: czcams.com/video/b3mwz2l7osU/video.html
@@BourbonCountryReacts courtesy of the Red White and Blue and angry American is the same song as what you're calling angry Americans absolute classic nothing Left to say.
Another one to check out is Martina McBride concrete angel.
The lyric is 'would' yes, and sadly that is a HUGE problem. So many people tell themselves it's not their business and then don't get involed.
Look up
WHAT WAS I THINKING!!
My dad abused me physically, emotionally, and sexually/raped as a kid from 4 years until I was 10 then we ran away. It continued until I was 16 due to visitation and then I found Jesus at 16 years old. I forgive him even if I will always remember.
No, this isn’t all country music’s about, anymore than it’s all rock is about. Country music talks about life in all its aspects, good, bad, and ugly. I suspect you’ve been getting some of the more depressing songs because people are wanting to show the impact country music can have. That it’s not all “my baby left, my truck blew, and my dog died”. Here are some lighter-side recommends to cleanse your palate: Chris Cagle - Chicks Dig It, Brad Paisley - I’m Gonna Miss Her, Trace Adkins - Songs About Me,
We're learning the dog/truck/wife thing isn't an accurate stereotype. I think we even joke about it in a video somewhere.
Wood chipper territory......You couldn't be more correct.
On a happier note. How about Toby Keith "Trailer hood" Or Luke Combs When it rains it pours"
We'll add those to our list. (It's getting big)
I Highly Recommend Matt Mason and the song Title is E.
The lyric isn't "anything anyone could do" it's "anything anyone would do"
Hey fellas you didn't finish the video the true story wasn't the song it was what happened in the class room of students listening to the song the female student that left the room suddenly that the teacher went to check on was a victim of abuse and the song convinced her to find finally tell someone about the abuse she cinfide in that teacher who was able to get her the help she needed and save her from the situation she was in if you guys would have looked at the time bar on the video you would have seen there was about 45secs left if I can give you some advice always check the time remaining on music videos because many music videos have extra things at the end of the song especially if it's a storyline that plays out over a series of songs
I was even more mad about there was nothing anyone WOULD do, that's just me though.
Neither is acceptable.
@@BourbonCountryReacts agreed, but a failed attempt is better than not trying at all
Agreed.
Do you know when and what song your gonna react to, or do you want it to be a surprise... 😊
@@dalefleming6427 We have a huge list of requests we manage. Dustin keeps pretty meticulous track of it. We know the next few we're going to react, but we usually plan a few out, then re-evalute. It's 100% based on what you guys request.
There's actually a considerable amount of work that goes into keeping track of it all.
Regardless, we do kinda keep "upcoming" under wraps. The closest we get to telegraphing what's coming, is if someone requests one we know is upcoming, we'll give 'em a "stay tuned" reply in the comments. - Keith
The night the light's went out in Georgia by Reba McEntire is a must
I think I may have heard that, or at least pieces of it. We'll add it to the list.
Another song that is like this and worth listening to is Concrete Angel by Marina McBride
We reacted to that here:
czcams.com/video/I2KuqBlP3iE/video.html
There is a special place in hell for child abusers
No country music is beautiful. It always tells a story. Good or bad
Well, not always. But it sure seems to do the storytelling thing a lot. - Keith
Nobody knew about the abuse because she lied about it to everyone. With the exception of this little girls dad, no one new about the abuse until it was to late!!
You guys didn’t finish the video….
Listen to the little girl by John Michael Montgomery
If you want to get hit in the feels listen to Reba McIntyre's She thinks his name was John. I was driving first time I heard this ....had to pull over so I could cry and I am not a cryer
Brad Paisley's This Is Country Music. Kind of sums it up. Haha
Added it to the list -Dustin
Has a woodchipper fund been setup yet?
You didn’t watch it all there was a thing on the screen at the end
you never even called me by my name by david allen coe, the "perfect" country song. (you'll understand if you listen to it 😁). anything by home free, an amazing country acapella band. you know what you get when you play a country song backwards?........you get your wife back......you get your dog back....and you get your truck back!... would love to see you react to The Hu , Wolf totem with Jacoby Shaddix from papa roach, they are a Mongolian heavy metal band. different but fun
Thanks for the recommendations, we're Hu fans, we're seeing them live.
@@BourbonCountryReacts i'm taking my youngest daughter to see them in september. it'll be her first concert😍
If you need something more lighthearted try Brad Paisley "I'm Still a Guy" "I'm Gonna Miss her" (I know that don't sound like it but it's funny) "Alcohol" and "Ticks" some sweet ones by him are "She's Everything" "Waiting on a Woman" "Little Moments" "He Didn't Have to Be"
Thanks for the suggestions, I've added the fun ones, and noted that we've had a few requests for He Didn't have to Be.
this song goes very well when listened back to back with Martina McBride's Concrete Angel, though i can see from my recommended list you already did a react to that song. but listen to those songs back to back and it's like a one-two-KO punch to the gut. tack on John Michael Montgomery's Little Girl and you are down for the count.
Yep we've done all those -Dustin
this was before you got involed with others theses songs where to get knowlage out to people and bring the subjects to our attition
7:00 the lyric was there’s nothing anybody would do, not could do. You got mad for no reason.
