- In this reaction video, I watch Dax's "To Be A Man" official music video for the first time, and wow… it hit me hard. The lyrics and the emotion in this song really resonate with me, especially with everything I've gone through after my dad's passing. It’s tough, but this song speaks to the struggles we face in trying to hold it all together as men. The raw honesty and pain in Dax’s message really made me reflect on my own journey. Prepare for an emotional rollercoaster!

Dax, @Thatsdax. Stop making me look like a big baby! lol
This is the original, He has a version with the country singer Darius Rucker, but his mega remix has so many people putting their input of their own lyrics that makes it extremely emotional that More women broke down on that one then the original. I love all three versions but the remix I sent you my favorite.
@okie_shayI totally agree the remix with other artists is so cool
We are here on UA-cam because it's interactive ❤
Much love xoxox
I believe when people pass away they/we know things... I believe they watch over us and help us keep God in our hearts💞🙏 you talk and break that cycle for him he could not but he showed you how to talk
Much love xoxox wildedibles
Go check out the song Monsters by James Blunt. It’s the perfect song to get you through the grief of losing your father. It’s the song I turned to when I lost my dad.
You warned us... nevertheless I started to cry exactly the moment you started to sniffle... thanks for sharing, subscribed dax after this video
You should really watch the mega remix of this. After Dax released this, a lot of other artists wanted to jump on it because they loved the message, and he got them all together, and they did it.
One of the best songs ever written....❤
It's very good!
"God can hear the silent masculine scream, even when Noone else can hear you." - TD Jakes
Oh yeah, Dax will get you just about every time. ❤😢
100%
The remix to this one is amazing too!! - Oh man, my heart is with you! Sending hugs
Thank you!
Bless you. My dad was a bad man, but after being estranged for a while I went to visit him in the hospice. After everyone else had left, I held his hand and told him that I forgive him for something that happened when I was 8 years old (I was 41 that day) and I won’t go into the details. He opened his eyes, smiled and nodded and 5 minutes later passed away. True Forgiveness enlightens the giver and the receiver, I learned something that day. ❤️👍🇬🇧
God was smiling down on you that day too. Forgiveness is important and I'm really happy you had that closure with him. That's truly important. I'm so sorry about everything you went through. Thanks for being open about it!
Bless you and your Dad Toffer
🙏
Dax is also one of those special people who make people think and reflect on their lives and beliefs
Thank you for introducing me to this artist. I came to your channel because of Ren but decided to check out some of your other content.
@@okcdog5439 I think that Ren, Tom, Dax and NF are all artists that have something to get off their chest and when they do a message comes with it that people need to hear. People dismiss Tom and Dax sometimes because they do some political music but if you look past that and go into their other music it's really really deep. Going into mental health and depression and addiction the struggles you go through with that. Tom has some amazing spoken word videos that I would love to see him get through.
Thank you for checking it out! I love that. it means a lot to me that you're willing to do that!
Dax is another great independent artist!
You need to react to the mega mix of this song it so good
Great reaction you got this bro 🔥
Agree the mega mix is superb. Love Romeo thagreatwhite's voice.
@@darrenfryer4454 I've sent him all three of the mega remixes of Dax's He's going to get to them.
Thank you!
Agree!
Absolutely, love. This song just makes me think of all the amazing men in my life.
Helps me recognize and appreciate them more
This may sound wrong, but massive respect for exposing yourself. I used to act in the UK when I was younger and it's a tough road, met my now wife and my dynamic had to change. Still married and have an amazing daughter, so no regrets. I pray your future is blessed the way mine was. Great reaction as always.
Thank you Paul! Sounds like you've been blessed brother!
BRO IM NEAR 60 AND CRY REMEMBERING AND MISSING MY FATHER ALL THE TIME! HE DIDN'T WANT YOU SUFFERING THE SAME FATE AS HIM, THATS LOVE!❤😇🙏🏼
Ladies, if you're with a man, and you check on him or he just decides to confide in you and tells you things on his heart. NEVER EVER use that information in a fight against him later. He'll never tell you another thing like that and NEVER truly trust you again with his heart. He may still love you, but won't trust you with his emotions.
this is such a great song. "No wonder most men are so depressed
All the things that they can't express
They go to war, get thrown on the shelf
Then go back to war with they mental health" hits so hard for me. I still have survivors guilt from my combat tours, its not just that my friends didnt make it home and i did. Its that i can never have another chance to sacrifice for them because they are gone. Every day I have I will live for them. I am a big believer that Dax showed more true Country in this song than most 'Country Artist' being played on the radio.
Don't worry. I cried with you. This song, his duet, and the extended remix have all brought me to tears. His voice is so powerful, like you mentioned it's like you can hear those emotions rolling from his vocals out his mouth. That's a huge talent. And he sounds amazing doing it.
Thank you for another beautiful reaction.
Thank you ! I can't wait to do more Dax!
Dax is deep. Love him and love you and your reactions. ❤🙏stay strong .
Thank you! I really like him. Would be amazing if he did something with NF
Crying is what makes us real so don't EVER hide your true feelings ❤❤❤❤❤❤❤
Men, we need to foster a culture in which we teach our sons & brothers to develop the kind of relationships with other men with which we can share our frustrations, emotions and trials, so that we can be the rock our wife and family need when we are home. Only men can truly understand the struggles of being a man. Women can offer sympathy but only men can offer true empathy. Seek Wisdom.
It’s important to let people in your life know that it’s ok to be vulnerable and that it’s a strength- not a weakness. Being afraid if it starts to unravel we’ll be lost in it. Fear keeps us locked inside. You’re braver than you know. I’m glad I ran across your videos. I’m gonna keep you in my prayers
That song does it to me too and I seen it over 20 times and cry every time dude I am 50 and disabled and I am so happy I found your page and so you know your dad is so proud of you and he in heaven watching you GOD BLESS YOU THANKS FOR THE EVERYTHING BLESS YOU
Thank you! I appreciate it a lot. Im sorry you've not had it easy. God bless you as well!
So Dax and Tom have a few songs together. Propaganda, black and white, soldier. All amazing
Can't wait to hear them!
@@stevensmind can't wait to watch
I love your videos, brother. You’re a genuine dude. It’s refreshing to see. I lost my Father Oct 24th 2023. I was fortunate to have him for 40 years of my life. This song came out in his final days and I wish I had had the time to say thank you and that I appreciated everything he did. I know he knew but I would have liked to verbally say it. Much love from Arizona!
Comments like this make me happy that I’m doing reaction videos. I’m really sorry about your father. I know it’s not easy at any age. Thank you so much for the genuine comment!
This song really helped me be more patient with my boyfriend. So I really appreciate this one.❤
Love it!!
Like Dax said the "silent scream " that5 is true expression of pain. Ive been there a few times in my life but will never forget the feeling 😢
In just a recent 15 months only - I lost 7 of my most loved family members.
The last 3 being my Dad, my Brother, my Husband.
Brother was suicide 😢, husband was horrible traffic crash after he sent a text on his way home in 15 minutes with dinner in the car for us
I miss them terribly and I still cry often
🙏 💔 🙏
@cindyv1401, I'm so sorry about your losses. Our stories are somewhat similar. My brother took his life in 2013, my dad passed away in 2023, and my husband is on Hospice. I can't imagine losing seven family members in fifteen months. Sending caring thoughts and prayers your way. 🙏🏼

You are so sweet ❣️
Bless you and all your loved ones. Prayers heading up for your beautiful husband 🙏
I'm in my 50s and going through a battle with cancer. My girls are in their 20s and 40s and I still feel like I can't let them know the pain I'm in. Don't feel bad about crying Steven. Dax has caused more male tears to fall than any other thing on the planet. Sorry about your Dad. I lost mine a few years ago too. Not suicide, but rather the same cancer I am now fighting.
Praying for comfort and possible healing in Jesus name. He has a plan for us all. Sometimes those chess pieces moving around hurt, I know. I'm so sorry for what you're going through.
@@stevensmind I appreciate it, but don't be sorry for me. There are a lot of people in worse shape, but thank you.
its okay to be open to having a rough go . we got you bro
Steven......I subscribed to you BECAUSE of your reaction to Dax - Lonely Dirt Road.......I just think ya so precious n beautifully authentic. Ya bring me ta tears n I find myself crying with you........when i was 20 my partner died from suicide too. It was his birthday - 24 yrs old. I lost it n broke when i understood (only cause of Dax) why!!!! 35 years too late. FFS 😭😭😭 Love from Australia xxxxxx
I’m so sorry to hear that. Music has a way of healing for sure. It helps us find them and release them. Thank you for this comment. 🙏🏻
Tears are the sign of a beautiful human ♥️ God bless
What Dax is doing is bringing the trama to the surface so you can face it. For in doing so healing begins! May you find grace and peace in your journey!
oh 100% and I see you on my other videos thank you for being versatile as a viewer branching out to different reactions I appreciate that a lot!
Dax occasionally reaches out to his fans to upload their own verses on certain tracks, and he did for this song. So many of the fan verses were so good he did a supercut edit including them that is over 10 minutes long. You should have a look at that one.
Dax has the Talent to touch the soul with his music/Lyrics and the emotions he put in his music 🔥🌸👍🇦🇹🤗
He really does!
Another pure real reaction bro. So many men needed to hear this song, thank you Dax. This song makes me tear up every single time. We love you @Thatsdax
Thank you! Yeah he brings emotions out for sure
You were BLESSED to have you FATHER and he was BLESSED to have YOU we are from different era’s different beliefs and values
Stay blessed ❤
My dad died 2 years ago. it still hurts when i hear songs like this.
Thanks Dax’s. The messages in your music touches everyone. We all have experience a true emotional moment in our lives. Your music provides a mental outlet for me. Thanks for that moment of clarity.You are truly haven sent. Continue your work and I’m a fan. God bless you and your family!!!
God bless you. Your dad is watching over you right now. You are a good guy brother.
Thank you so much!
I have listened to a few Dax songs before and think he is a great artist. This is one I have not heard, very emotional, definitely hits hard in the feels.
I’m a Renegade, a Stan and an NF fan but I also appreciate Dax so that got me to click on this reaction. Your reaction to this one is also so moving, honest , raw and beautiful. You’re making me cry also!
Thank you yes Dax is incredible i need to get back to his songs! Sorry i made ya cry
Men:
Don't avoid the struggle, push into it.
There is purpose in the pain.
There is value in the struggle.
There is no GLORY and HONOR without Suffering.
BE BRAVE.
Thank you for allowing yourself to share how this song made you feel. I love songs that make me feel. You’re finding artists that are experts…Dax and REN both excel at making me think and feel. Enjoyed your reaction.
100% and thank you!
Bro this one cuts deep! Loving your reactions’
The “mega remix “ of this broke me
Like Ecclesiastes says, there's a time for everything under the sun. There's a time to mourn, and a time to hold it together. I think knowing the difference is part of learning to become a man. Sometimes you cry to God alone. But, let it out before it destroys you.
Another BLESSED soul ❤️
Amen!
Dax❤
Love for all of you
❤🙏🇪🇦
I just wanted to say I'm so sorry about your dad. I can relate. My younger brother who I was very close to took his life in 2013. I was the older sister by two years and had/have many mental struggles. He was my rock because he would check on me everyday and told me anytime I needed to talk he would always be there for me. I had no idea he was going through his own hell. He never said one word about being depressed. I now have PTSD because I have survivor's guilt. I should have picked up on it, but I didn't, and now he's gone. Maybe I could have stopped him, if only I had known.
My parents never hit us unless we did something wrong but at the same time we grew up in that era where it was ok to grab the nearest thing and wail on us for correction. Not being in touch with their own emotions and making us stuff back our own took a negative toll on my life. I'm nearing 60yrs. old and still trying to figure things out. So thank you for your kindness and great reactions. God bless🙏
countless of men have cried from this reaction, you're not alone. Also if you want to relate to more men that have expressed themselves through how they feel from this song of Dax's listen to "To Be A Man Mega Remix" you'll know you're not alone with listening to that one.
Oh Dax and Tom MacDonald are friends and have videos together check them out
Will do!
Much love from South Africa. Love this song from Dax and all his other songs but this one is special.
It's Dax!
He keeps doing that to me lol
@stevensmind He does it to all of us brother. "I can't breathe and Depression" from Dax are amazing as well.
I know exactly what you mean, although my Dad died of natural causes, the last words I spoke to him were in anger via email. It took me a while to come to the place that I know he has already forgiven me and still loves me from heaven.
Thanks Dax!!!
Let it out bro. This might be the best therapy there is
I lost my dad, February 24, 2017. I get it. Our dad's grew up in a different era. One of War... 🙏❤️🤍💙🦅💫
53 here, my emotions come at the most unexpected moments!
I totally get that
Mental Health is a very hard thing. Theropy is not made for men, which is why most dont/won't go. I don't know what will work for most men but I feel men need to feel more appreciation and purpose in life. One thing that is sure is there needs to be more studies on men's MH with out the oppressor mark on it by people who want to see them healthy again.
so important
Oh blessed,
Sweetheart ❤🙏❤️
And thank you for my first Dax
New fan🫶🏼
Thank you! Dax is so good I just discovered his much myself!
Embrace the feelings!
Touches your soul ❤
That is so amazing Dax reposted your video! Love your videos and how genuine you are. Good things happen to good people.
I've been there Man, cried so much in the past over self pain and feeling lost that I became so numb to emotion that I Lost my Grandma, Uncle and Grandpa and couldn't feel a thing or shed a tear to the point I wonder if I'm human still.
I can relate 5o what you mean by not crying anymore. A while back i was watching Ray Stevens The Missisipi Squirrel Revival and just started bawling for some reason. That's a comedy song! Emotions can get so damn messed up. I'm glad i found your channel. Thanks for sharing your experiences.
Mega remix next, please! Just to see that this one did move a very large number of ppl, and some creative musicians offered their view on it.
Stay strong, brother!
Haven't heard this for awhile, love it and perfect reaction.
It's all good bro, this one makes all men tear up
I lived alone at 17. Dad died at 19. I took a spiral. I'm 40 now. My 20s were hard. Lucky I found my wife 7 years ago she saved me
glad you came out on the right side of your struggles.
It would be a gift for us if you'd bring your wife on once or twice so we could see her astonishment to Ren, Tom or Dax but the best would be Chinchilla. Y'all should react to her together. That would be an enjoyable video 😁🔥
Much Love
I thought about that she said she would sit in with me sometimes!
You ABSOLUTELY should listen to mega remix of this song as already mentioned. Your brain will go in circles on that one but there are so many different perspectives given on how people feel.
My father took his own life to i didn't get a note so I just live my life the way he raised me listen to your father because you do have people who care
Nothing wrong with showing emotion as a man 👍
I’m so sad you experienced that 😢 it’s stays with you forever.
It might be really difficult to watch but REN’s Suic!de is a beautiful take from both the perspective of wanting to commit and also the pain of losing someone.
The song For Joe live is a mashup of three songs that he wrote for his best friend that he lost.
If you want to react to it that’s great but it is also okay if you want to keep that experience private. It will likely be both painful and cathartic.
Bless you. My ❤is with you.
Please do the mega remix of this song soon! And if you need to step away for a moment during a reaction, do it. We dont judge. Dax's and Tom's music hits hard and tends to knock down dams we didn't know were there.
For sure Dax is making me more sad than Tom for sure haha
@stevensmind Dax refers to his music genre as "Impact," while Tom's might as well be called "Tom" since he does his own thing and crosses so many lines. Regardless, both artists have impactful music.
sorry for your loss
Oddly enough…0:32 I happened to look over at my clock and it’s 10:00am 😆😆
Just want to bring a smile to break up what is another heavy song. ✌🏻🙏🏻❤️
Dax is such an incredible lyricist. I really enjoy these songs from him because it gives me a perspective that I’m not sure my husband is able to express to me. It helps me have a deeper appreciation for him. I ❤ my husband VERY much, but he tends to keep things to himself 🥺. We’ve been together for 25 years and been through a lot of ups and downs; yet we have prevailed. He is my very best friend forever. He is my gang gang. ❤
🎉🎉🎉
Absolutely Need to do "Super Remix of this " #Dax #Hangovergang
You should react to the Megamix.
Good on you paying the bills while also still perusing your passion. It is so easy to give up on them.
Clearly you should do To Be A Man next🥺
The good thing about dax is, you don't need to go in order, just pick one and enjoy. One of my favourites is 'Eternity' But since you reacted to Tom Macdonald as well recently, You should definitely check out; 'Blame the Rappers' By him and Tom. Great song.
If you have a heart Dax will rip it out!😂 he has a remix of this song thats KILLER like 8 dif artists all take a verse you'll cry for sure! CRYINGS HEALTHY BROTHER JUST DONT STAY THERE, VENT GET IT OUT AND GET BK TO REMEMBERING OUR BLESSINGS!
Dax keeps making me cry lol
This guy is good
Do the "To Be a Man Mega Remix".
Would love to see you do a reaction of Soldier by Dax and Tom. Just be warned though , it’s heavy like this one , but is such an amazing song and msg.
Should watch the mega remix
Real women see real men
Amen
You need to really do the mega remix it has a lot of other singers while he sings the chorus
Just know there was nothing you could have done. I so sorry for your pain and loss
Try Dax's Megaremix of this song
Now you’ve gotta watch a few uplifting videos from Dax (no tears I mean, not heartbreaking)
Oddly enough…0:32 I happened to look over at my clock and it’s 10:00am 😆😆
Just want to bring a smile and break up what is another heavy song. ✌🏻🙏🏻❤️
Sorry bro Jesus Christ only can take that pain away. Stay strong
amen to that! God bless you!
You should check out the remix of this song with Darrius Rucker, also check out blame the rappers with tom macdonald
It's ok bro. Need to talk I'm here
you should look for a song called MaD Hatter by Larkin Poe
Most men can't find the strength to let people in, and that's why they find the End before they can find a door with a hand. Sometimes your world feels like its locked to you, and some can't see or find a way out.
It is OK to cry, with other men that will actually understand the masculine struggle, and to God. But be very careful to cry around your woman, if ever. Be the Rock for your woman, that God in Christ is to be for you. We men are supposed to be the Rock our Woman's emotional waves can crash into. You can't follow someone you don't respect. You can't follow someone who you fear will fall apart when it's necessary to stay held together. We cannot fall apart on the battlefield, because if we do, then our family could die. Life is a battlefield. Another reason that men don't want to come home to an argumentative woman.
Here's the problem with telling men to just be "vulnerable" and express their emotions....Prisons are full of men who just expressed their emotions and didn't learn to control those emotions. Men tilt towards anger on their emotional reactions, and the expression of that is violence, even when sad. Teaching boys and men to control their emotions is far better, and even more so to teach them healthy masculine ways of releasing those emotions, which for men is usually not crying, but instead things like workouts, punching bags, sparring, talking to other men who truly understand the masculine struggle, usually doing things, fixing things, etc. Women simply cannot understand these things, and that's OK.
React to his Mega Mix version of this. Bring tissues.
Chris Stapleton cold fire away. All od dax is good dear alcoholic remix is great
If you are looking for another band to sprinkle in. Look for twenty one pilots. I think the best place to start is "car Radio" but then "guns for hands", "Ode to sleep", "migraine", then maybe if your still want more start in the album self titled and work your way through all of the records. Self titled, regional at best, vessel, blurry face, trench, scaled and icy, Clancy.
Ps don't let the 'click' push you into the story of dema. That will come naturally through the videos!
I know them, they're a great band!
