It's always a beautiful thing when an artist sings from their soul and reaches yours to.
I am currently homeless I have a four year old son. Our house burnt down we lost everything we had and it's been the toughest 5 months of my life. Realizing I had no true friends and maybe 2 family members I could talk to I turned to this song for moral support again and again and again at this moment but to hear and see it from the very one who wrote it sing it makes me feel like I'm not alone in this hellish journey i feel most days Ill never conquer. Thank You guys for such an inspirational view on such a horrible situation. God Bless You and everyone who can relate as close as my son and I can❣️
I'm so sorry about your troubles, in February 23 2004 my house burnt, my wife and I have 10 children. We turned to God, we depended on Him for everything, we didn't have insurance, we were told it was too old. We worked on it night and day, 9 months later we moved back. It wasn't finished, but it was livable. July 6th 2005, I was laid off, from a job, I had 20 years there, didn't take them 30 minutes to walk me out of the building. No notice, nothing, God got us through. Turn to God my friend, he is the answer. God Bless.
Not true
Songs are so much more impactful when they're sung by the writer! Just heartbreakingly gorgeous! Felt it in my toes.
SEE HIM LIVE------ YOU WILL NOT REGRET IT ----- THIS MAN IS THE REAL DEAL
An American treasure, this man should be at the Top of every playlist
My favorite Travis Meadows song. Dierks recorded it, but it's Travis's story and song. Comes from his heart and soul.
This man has been down a tough road and he shares freely during his show. Then after the show visiting with him, you find that he has a great personality. Premier country artists clamor to record his songs. I like it when he does em .
WOW is all I can say. My first exposure to Travis was "Sideways" He's for sure should be on all the radio stations. After you hear Travis you want to listen again and again. He's so impactive to your soul.
Thank you so much for stopping by, and for the kind words. I really appreciate it.
I can relate!
I seen 3 dislikes up there,, anyone that would dislike Travis Meadows songs and singing truly doesn't know anything at all about country music, this man is a better singer than 99% of those singing on the radio and can write songs that if you can't feel them then you have no feelings,, he may have seen ups and downs during his life but through it all God blessed Travis and those of us that love real country music love Travis Meadows!
Point is they'd like Dierk erm.......?, but guess who wrote it, that's just how it goes, absolutely multi talented
Well said!
I've thumbs downed by accident before, that's the only possible explanation I can think of...
@@mclagett1043 You can cancel a thumbs down. What people can't cancel is being a bell end. The problem is the way the whole UA-cam system is rated and people being idiots. Dislike something, it will take it into account. Watch a lot of country and it's going to recommend it, even if you dislike it. That and there are bots that auto dislike.
Either way, stop worrying about the people who dislike it and think about what YOU like. If someone doesn't agree with you, who gives a flying fuck? YOU like it!
There are a lot of accidental clicks on sites like these, especially when someone is trying to do something like hit the thumbs up on their smartphone while they're out and about, etc. No way to know why a dislike was clicked here or other reactions are clicked elsewhere. I personally don't like the thumbs down or dislike feature. Here on UA-cam, I never pay attention to how many dislikes a video has. I get that it's probably meaningul for the algorithms, etc., but I'm pretty darn ignorant about how all that works.
Gave up on country music til I heard this guy. He embodies country western
I first heard this song sung by Dierks Bentley and I thought it was amazing-it reminded me of my own strength. But now, when I hear Travis Meadows sing it, there is a whole other dimension to it. It holds all the original strength, love, and emotions behind the words. I am no longer just thinking about me and mine. It’s like when you watch a movie as a kid and you love it but you don’t realize that there are all these creative and meaningful references and jokes, until you watch it again when you are older and have more context. Beautiful. Thanks for sharing this with the world. ❤
Just discovered Travis Meadows. So glad I did. What a powerful performer with words everyone can relate too. Thank you from Australia.
Thanks for listening.
Just discovered this songwriter! Praying he recovers from his surgery and voice good as new!
thank you. it’s a long road but I’m going in the right direction
@@Travismeadowsmusic I pray everyday and night for a blessing healing 🙏 Not a day goes by that I don't listen to your stories and all the Beautiful touching songs that you have shared with us all. I can relate I've walked in your shoe's been there done that. Went in and out of so many treatment centers it's not funny. But now I can honestly say I'm a Riser. Hope to hear from you soon. Looking for a schedule so my friend and I can come to listen to you but most of all hoping to shake your hand, give you a hug . I pray my wish to come true. 🙏
Travis, you are a treasure. Thank you for sharing this song in it's true form.
A really good friend of mine loved this song so much that he named his dog Riser...and this was his song as he unsuccessfully fought cancer...but man did he fight...he was a "Riser"...love you Billy and we all miss you terribly. Thank you Mr. Meadows for making this song that has touched SO many.
Just want to say how much this song means to me. Got me through my battle with cancer. Thanks for telling your story. We are all connected and we can all relate together. I appreciate you putting your soul out their in your music.
music is a powerful force. it’s almost like a super power. you can choose to use it for good or evil. o choose good. I’m glad you’re doing better.
@@Travismeadowsmusic got you in my prayers brother. Your a riser. Keep up hope my friend. God is good.
Damn, this fellow deserves way more recognition then he currently gets. His voice carries such a raw and powerful emotion. It's evident that he's deeply invested in whatever he's singing about, and as a result I become deeply invested too. That doesn't happen to me with a lot of other country artists today.
Most underrated artist. Travis is an amazing human being. God bless you all. Be a RISER.
The hard times put the shine in diamonds? One of the greatest lyrics I’ve ever heard..
Got served this one again today - exactly when I needed it. You're the best my friend!
Travis, your words are incredibly inspiring. Sobriety is an amazing gift, I'm glad I've made the choice to rebuild as well . Thank you
This song makes me cry so hard. I’ve always been a fighter. It’s just some days I’m tired and I just want to be held. This song portrays exactly what I need.
Just when I believed I couldn't relate more to a song than I did "sideways"...this one was so powerful in the way....a quiet oak stands sturdy and strong.
I often feel more like a weeping willow in Gail force winds.
This song caught me in a moment when I just needed the quiet strength of a stranger I've never met and don't know, but through his experiences and understated prose I feel oddly less alone.
Thank you again Mr. MEADOWS.
❤ from Alaska
I need more of your blessed lyrics. I share your songs still. Please Lord strengthen & fortify my beloved brother
Travis. Your lyrics are incredible. Your passionate voice is influential. The musicianship is perfect. Thank you. God bless you and your kin.
I had a bulldog with spina bifida. His middle name was riser. I sadly lost him 5 months ago at the age of 2. I have not been able to listen to this song. Tonight I am missing Havok extremely bad. This song has several impacts on my life.
I love this
Dude. I had this beautiful experience with Mr. Meadows in Dallas, this year (Feb 2019). This song. How the story behind it, and the way Bobby Jr. backed things up on steel was magical.
Absolutely spellbinding. Doing sound for music all came into focus at that moment for certain. But what a gift. Travis, your music is wonderful. Thank you, always.
I like sideways a lot but this.. this is really great stuff bro. I hope that I'm a survivor.. and this will all be a testimony. Thanks again for sharing, you have a really beautiful way of putting life in a song.
Best version right here
This man is a brilliant song writer, furthermore he is speaking Trueth that shatters the soul...if you have one.
We are more than conquerors through Christ Jesus xxx I wish I had had a guy say the words of your song to me x so comforting to have a soul mate alongside saying those things
Travis, you gave us so great amazing wonderful songs with so deep lyrics. Now it’s time we all pray for your full recovery. Hope you will get your health back very soon. That’s what counts now. All the best!!! (from 20.000 miles away from you. Indeed, music connects.)
Thank you. I believe!
Your music is so much so, some of the greatest of all time. Your message so powerfully human. Thank you Travis.
We never even had to look into his music. His music looks into us.
Song is like a huge spoon stirring your soul around.
Straight from the heart. Some very fine pedal steel playing too.
I have passed this song to so many friends who were having hard times and now my brother-in-law who has untreatable brain cancer. Life can be so hard- - but you have to fight! This song has become my theme song- - I play it on a loop! Thank you Travis! Don't ever stop writing music!
Every year and every new challenge brings me to this song and just keeps making more sense, what a beautiful and heartfelt piece of music, so much soul pour into it, love it, thank you Travis
I don't how where I got it but I'm a fighter also. I don't back down. Maybe that came from my grandparents
Thanks grandma and grandpa Gant. I love you both.
Love your songs.
Truth and life captured in a song.
⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️ Encouraging + Healing + Loving + Restoring + Uplifting ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️ TY Travis❗️
This song means a lot to me. Thanks Travis.
Darkness comes to town.. I'm a lighter........ Love It !!!!
Travis, you are amazing and I am a brand spankin new fan as of today. You are truly the best songwriter I think going today. I see and hear you as a great folk singer songwriter like a Woodie Guthrie of today more than country. I am not even a country fan, unless it is classic vintage country with no flash and polish, not even on your boots, that kind of country, but you my friend makes me love country. I just want to be in a smokey bar, drinking a long slow whiskey, smoking a cigarette (and I don't even smoke) listening to you sing til wee hours on the morning. BTW, your song Sideways, is truly a brilliant song. I turned other people on to you today and all of them had the same reaction as I did, where did he come from? I don't know, all I know is I am glad you did, oh btw your pedal string player.....world class my friend! Fan for life!
Wow. Thanks
@@Travismeadowsmusic Thank you Travis, you are the Real Deal mate. Keep on Trucking and I cannot wait to have a chance to hear you play live someday, for real. We live in a world of over produced music with absolutely no soul. You are an exception to the rule which in my opinion as a musician and artist and just overall fan of really great music, you are a gem in a diamond mine my brother...
I just stumbled onto Travis with his song sideways ( which is just to damn good) and I’ve gone down the rabbit hole on his music since……. Damn what a song writer, singer and picker….!!!!! Travis keep doing what you do brother we’ve all had our demons in life ( I am sober as well) and through Gods Grace we both can continue down this road called life.I believe it’s the tough times that make the man, and how you come out the other side that tells the story. I love your music, and consider me a fan for life..!!!!
Every song. Every word. Dannnnng. ✨✨✨✨✨
Travis, you're everything JVC says about you and more. This song is simply amazing!
Man this guy’s a great lyricist!!!
Great performance as well!
One of my favorite songs. @travismeadows your music is the best I’ve ever heard. I would give anything to see you live. I’m sure you’d do just about anything to be able to do a live show again. We are out here rooting for you for sure. The world is a better place with you and your music in it. Much love sir.
That means everything g to me. And yes. I would love that I keep believing. You make me stronger. Thank you
@@Travismeadowsmusic Keep believing, keep fighting! You’ve got this! Your fans are right behind you. Sending big hugs your way.
This guys voice is so killer. Such an outlaw voice that in my opinion id rather hear sing this song than dierks bentley. This guy absolutely rocks. Much love
That was fucking awesome !.... A really great song bro....I love where this is coming from...Years ago I saw Dirks Bentley sing this on Letterman....He did an "unplugged" version (sitting down with no drums and a guy on mandolin keeping time with a picking figure ) and it was fantastic....... I was told he was one of the "Bro Country" artists that everybody was bitching about.....But he was the only Bro Country artist I had ever heard and this is the only song of his I ever heard...I was floored.......I was looking for the Letterman video and couldn't find it but I saw your video "Live Acoustic Performance" and that's how I wanted to hear the song....Now I find that he didn't write it, you did....You knocked it out of the park with this tune buddy.....I'm going to listen to it again....and post it on my FB page...
Don't know if you remember me or not, but we 'met' on facebook several years ago when I lived in Missouri. Just recovering from cancer treatment for all of the last year, and your music got me through it in a thought provoking way :) Just wanted to say thanks. I'm a riser, too :)
God bless Travis Meadows.
Encourages me every time I hear it. Yes you are Travis..
Music is the one thing I'm always on my toes about. But, when you sing I go blank and I can't even think of the artist who recorded your song. Because it's so yours. Just breathtaking.
Travis Meadows how do I go about getting Schedule on your showings as soon as you heal from your surgery? I feel it in my heart that the Creator has blessed you in a wonderful healing that your soon be back with that amazing voice. I will always keep you in my prayers 🙏. Love all you do Travis.
Travis, No offense to Deirks but i think you should of sang this song from the get go by yourself, because theres not another person on this earth I dont believe who could of sung it better! Absolutely love it brother please keep it coming 💯❤
Forever loving Travis Meadows ❤.
Travis your voice has similarities to another favorite singer of mine…Foy Vance. I can listen to you two all week and never stop smiling. 👊🏻
By the Love and Grace of the Living God, Jesus Christ,... We can all be eternal Risers!

Love me some Travis!!!!!
A huge fan…From 1 Travis to another!
beautiful song.
His songwriting reminds me of David Ramirez a little bit. Can’t get enough of Travis.
Not sure if you read any of these messages Travis but in my opinion sir, you write the best songs Ive ever heard. Your lyrics hit home for a lot of good ol blue collar hard working Amercans!! Your song "Sideways" get me all choked up. The song litterally cuts open my soul!! Not many songs move me like that. Not sure if ya tour a bit. Would love to catch one of your shows if ya do.
Thank you for sharing!!

Wow. No disrespect to Dierks, but this version gave me the chills.
Thank you
Love your version!
Travis, a very moving song, I also had to suffer with what life deals out to us sometimes. What an inspiring song. I just didn't talent to write about it. May you be blessed for your humble personality and be granted wealth and happiness. All the best T
