@@camogrizz3293thank you! I’m from Maine and I promise if you tell your girl to wait/stay in the truck it’s not a good thing. Also grizz wintergreen for me too!
The thing with country is that it's meant to be a storytelling genre. Every good country song I've ever heard has told a story, and that's why I love country music.
@@dizastro5437 You definitely don't need to like the genre. Not every genre is for every person. Just please don't judge country music by country radio. Whoever picks what goes on air sometimes feels like a Cali frat boy because they rarely play the best music these days.
oh yeah im autistic but thats a true statement this a reality in the south because most of us know that unless we are felons we have the god given right to protect our self or others if necessary
I worked as a paramedic in Texas for 15 years . One Saturday night my partner and I were called to a house on the outskirts of town (I can’t mention the town for legal reasons) where we found a young woman who had been badly beaten by her drunken boyfriend. (He had run off) She had broken bones and bleeding internally… we took her to the hospital where she had 3 hours of surgery to repair the damage he had done…Later that night another unit was called to the same address where the boyfriend was found beaten within an inch of his life and left there… no one knew how he got that way but he got patched up in time to stand trial for attempted murder, DV, and violating a protective order… my partner and I had to testify and the bastard was sent to prison for 30 plus years ( he was a repeat offender) before he even will come up for parole… that my friends is true frontier justice…
Incredible story. Not quite death but the next best option. I hope that woman is living a happy, full and most Importantly SAFE life. Thankyou for what you do. I'm tossing up between Nursing and Paramedics. I can't decide. I like the wider scope of practice being a paramedic.
Well, I've been scared of Texas the last few years, but hearing that gives me a little ease to my fears lol. Thanks for all your hard work and sacrifice to help save our brothers and sisters. It's more appreciated by wayyyyyyyy more than you know!!!! God Bless!!!
I am retired EMT/P from Texas as well. Retired that part of my life after 15 years also.... I always loved it when frontier justice was correctly served.
Thank you for your service! I’m from Arlington, idk where you’re from in the state but thank you to you, and all those like you that help keep us safe, and thank you to whoever came in and handled the boyfriend, I hope he never got caught.
Not to be nitpicky, but Michael is the archangel of war, and destined to throw Lucifer into the abyss for a thousand years. Gabriel is the archangel of death, who visited Mary to tell her she'd give birth to Jesus, and the one who went door to door in Egypt and killed their first born as the tenth plague.
@@Lunzatis_Palemoon It might bear consideration that the singer's first name is Michael, and that in this song he sent that woman's "Lucifer" to the abyss as well. I mean, if we're relating such hyperbole to the song to begin with...
@@dustinwilson4815 That is definitely one way to look at it. However, the Angel of War would be related more with Destruction than Death considering that there is an Angel of Death and an Angel of War. The main male character in the video was more like a Grim Reaper than an Angel of War.
St. Michael the Archangel, defend us in battle, be our protection against the wickedness and snares of the devil. May God rebuke him we humbly pray; and do thou, O Prince of the Heavenly host, by the power of God, cast into hell Satan and all the evil spirits who prowl about the world seeking the ruin of souls. Amen.
This song resonates with so many women who just wish someone would have picked us up and told us, “Wait in the Truck”! You have to listen to “Jack” by Hardy!!!
The only man i ever dated who cared enough to keep me safe told me once to wait in the car. We had went out for a few drinks. There was a rowdy crowd of drunk guys circling us. Before i could say a word that something felt off. My date took me by the hand and made sure i got in his car safely. He said calmly. Wait in the car. As that rowdy crowd followed us. I was absolutely terrified what was about to happen. Fast forward 5 years later, i married that man. From that moment, I've never been scared when he's around.
Very true but unfortunately the possibility of being murdered by the state for defending someone who needs it is a very large deterrent for major portion of the population
@@blakethegreatone2058. It’s part of being a good man! You’ve got to be willing to commit serious harm or death on another for protection of those you care about or doing the right thing! Even if that means you lose everything!
Hardy is a master song writer. He wrote a lot of Morgan Wallen songs. His song "Jack" has a metal vibe to it. It's underrated for sure but it's a good song. "Give Heaven Some Hell" is perhaps my favorite song and has deep meaning for me. "A Rock" from the same album as Give Heaven...is lyrically amazing. Hardy is a phenomenal artist.
Absolutely. I really wish someone would have been there to tell ME to wait in the truck.😭 I'm damaged but I'm alive, praise God. Here's to all you ladies who made it out alive. You're all bad ass warrior princesses and you're my people❤❤
@@jermac8263 Yep. Some people will argue that's not what it means but in an interview on the CMT awards Hardy said when the song was a hit he gave Lainey a Taurus Judge as a gift.
@@Murica_gaming really? So this guy is driving through a town he's never been to, and he spotted a girl standing in the middle of the road, at midnight, in a rain storm. In East Texas there is a 95% chance that girl is on meth, but I digress. She looks beat up, so instead of taking her to a police station, you ask her where he lives. Then after you decided not to "load her down with questions", you drive to his trailer pull a gun out of your truck and tell her to "wait in the truck" meaning the stranger you picked up can't even positively ID the stranger you are about to kill....hope his buddy wasn't over watching the UFC fights. Next you are gonna "knocked and knocked and no one came so I kicked in his double wide door"...so you are telling me that it is after midnight, you are beating on the door of someone that has a 12 guage shotgun and the home owner isn't gonna grab it and blow you off the porch as soon as you "kicked in his double-wide door"....come on....lastly this guy threw his life away, murdered someone, not for a sister, friend, mother...no for some stranger and he didn't even question her about what happened, that's psychopathic behavior, is it not? That said Trevor Bauer, former pitcher of the Dodgers, got released after a girl he had sex with posted pictures of her busted up face saying he beat her up. After 2 years in court, with him not being able to publicly defend himself, it came out through text messages that she did it to herself to "get a piece of [his] 51mil"...he was innocent and she was a litigious gold digger and she didn't care what happened to him as long as she could get some of that money....In this "Wait in the truck" scenario, Hardy murders Trevor Bauer without even finding out if the girl was a liar. How ignorant am I again?
Good ol southern justice, it reminds me of stories I've heard around my small town about men that were abusive goin missing with no police looking for em. There's two rules in the south, you leave kids alone and you never EVER lay your hands on a woman.
Yes!!!! It might be my favorite line of the song. I'm a dv survivor, I was one of the lucky ones that escaped. But so many of us can't. This song hits hard in so many ways. The first time I heard it, I sobbed.
Not sure if y'all realized it, or not, but when he kicks in the door, the abuser drops his lit cigarette in an ashtray. The cigarette he's smoking is the same cigarette, because he reaches down and picks it up, he never lights it! I love this song, along with the listener's reaction to it. I say this because I know I've probably watched nearly 100 reactions to this song, if not more. Y'all are the first reaction I've seen, that's has caught on to the fact (or maybe they saw it, & never said anything) that she's driving his truck! First time viewing y'all, but it won't be the last
This song is the definition of alot of small town America. If your seen hurting a child or a woman it's the last thing you'll ever do only difference is it becomes a missing person's case you'll never be found
the first time i heard this was right after a grown man tried "GETTING" my daughter for lack of a better term. and when i heard this i was driving and i had to pull over and i felt this song so hard. in that situation the cops got there before i did, but when i heard this song it embodied everything i felt that day. I would love to meet Hardy day and thank him for this song.
I saw Hardy in an interview a couple weeks ago & he said he got Lainey a Judge pistol as a gift. You have probably heard Lainey's name because she has a duet with Jelly Roll. 'Save me'. And his full name is Michael Wilson Hardy. He has been writing for other for years. Lots of 'radio ready' stuff & decided to start writing for himself so he can say what he wants to say, He has a twist on all his music. His song 'The Mockingbird & the Crow' describes his journey kinda. He started as a mockingbird, writing the 'expected' & & the song is like that... then halfway through, he becomes the Crow, & the music gets harder & the lyrics get harder & he starts speaking his truth. Clever lyricist.
If you want one that is more of his actual story about him as an artist, my song recommendation would be "the mockingbird and the crow", it is a longer song but well worth the listen and by the end I still want more of it!
The thing that always bring me back to country music is the storytelling. No matter how I feel about a genre or artist or style, if it’s got a good story to it I’m hooked. Glad y’all liked this one!
I've seen him live twice. He kicks ass. He's hard core. He is brilliant at bringing his songs to life. Him and his Best friend, Morgan Wallen, are beautiful storytellers!
I'm the oldest of nine siblings and I have six sisters. I pray I never have to do this for any of them, not because of the consequences for me, but for what it would mean they went through. But I'd do it in a fucking heartbeat, no one's laying a hand on a woman if I'm around, especially my family. Maybe I'm just soft, or maybe its from having so many sisters, but the sound of a woman in pain or fear physically hurts me. Another one of my favorite UA-camrs is Donut Operator and a couple of his law enforcement videos make me shiver.
This is a true story. The man did 20 years and when he got out she still had his truck. They got married, had children, are living in Alabama and he works on the road with Hardy.
That is total BS. HARDY has talked about when he and his cowriters wrote the song. It was going to be about what would they do if somebody messed with one of their girls in a bar one night and it morphed into this.
They performed it live at the country music awards.. it was just as good live as recorded. Hardy gives me that Southern Rock vibe like Lynyrd Skynyrd or Kid Rock. Anyway, this song makes me cry every time.
Glad to see you guys checking out hardy. This album has alot of metal roots in it. The songs The mockingbird and the crow, sold out and kill shit till I die have been on octane radio
Y’all need to check out HARDY. He is GENIUS. He dabbles in metal, rock, country, you name it. His song mockingbird and THE CROW is a great place to start
The judge under the seat line is a dual reference to a 'Taurus Judge' pistol. This is a pistol that shoots a .410 shotgun shell. Absolute crap at any range (like all shotty's) but at the distance he was using it at, yeah... it'll perforate someone's melon very well. 1S1K.. One shot, one kill.
Hardy is amazing! He also has a song with Jeremy McKinnon of A Day To Remember. Some that I think you guys would love by Hardy, are: I Ain’t In The Country No More Jack (my personal favorite) Sold Out Truck Bed the mockingbird & THE CROW
..."judge under the seat..." has a special meaning. The gun he used is LITERALLY CALLED a "Judge". An absolutely, powerful awesome song. Everyone can relate.😅
This is what country music used to be about. A story that invokes an emotional response, even after the first listen. More than that, it is country because out here we have to solve our own problems. There is a Judge under my seat as well.
Every time I hear this song, a fire starts burning deep inside my heart.......and I remember. I almost died one night. A family friend found out what happened, and my then husband ended up in the hospital. When I finally divorced his sorry ass, I thought it was over. After 30 years, I still find myself hearing a noise, and immediately fill with fear. The physical wounds barely show anymore, but the wounds to my soul will never fade. I love this song. I just wish I'd have been the one to pull the trigger.
First time on your channel. I always felt that metal heads were super emotional dudes, so seeing Kyle with tears in his eyes throughout half the song just kind of sealed that for me.
I have thought a lot about this song since it came out. I came to the conclusion that Hardy’s character must have been raised by a victim of domestic violence, and seen it for himself, and most likely seen the system fail to protect his mother. That is the reason I see being feasible for him to IMMEDIATELY turn the violence up to that level for a woman he had never met. He was likely too young to protect his mother, but not this woman….
Hardy was into Rock when he was growing up. As he got older he liked the stories Country told. He's made himself rich writing songs for other artist's I was so happy when his first song came on the radio
Hardy is saving country rock! Check out more of his stuff for sure. Truck Bed, Rednecker, Jack & Sold Out are great songs of his. He's written some of the biggest country song for the biggest artists.
There is a handful of songs that I watch every reaction of that I can find. This is one of THOSE songs! Right next to Hi Ren, Wrong Side of Heaven.. and AMAZING REACTION ❤
This is one of my favorite songs but I never make it through without getting choked up. I’m a DV survivor and I think the fact that he saves her from that pain…it’s so dark but at the same time, so beautiful to me. Maybe because I’d hoped for someone to help me out of a similar situation. Idk. It really resonates with me on another level though. This is the first time I’ve watched one of y’all’s videos so I’m not sure if it’s already been done or not, but I highly recommend anything by Jelly Roll. He does a whole ‘nother level of country that even the most anti-country people can’t help but enjoy. It’s a perfect mix of country, hip hop and rock.
But it is all the more meaningful because he knew what was right to do even though it meant he would spend the rest of his life in prison. Another measurement of doing the right thing is what it costs you to do it.
He defended another person he didn't even know. These days he's a murderer. But that is not always the case though. A few years ago a man was found not guilty of murder after he beat his daughters rapist to death with his bare hands. There is still hope. The people who say violence is not the answer are the problem. Violence is not the answer part of the time... But there are times where it is the answer.
I just stumbled across you guys and because you were doing a reaction video to this particular song really piqued my interest. I have loved this song since it first came out. Watching y’all’s reactions was so amazing. Like me, the first time I heard the song, you both were invested in the story. You really felt it. There aren’t too many songs that tell as powerful a story. You’ve got a like and subscribe from me!
He got five years of time for what we here in TX call a misdemeanor murder, or maybe a public service homicide. But, according to him,it wouldn't have mattered if he were sentenced to a life term because he did what needed to be done to bring peace of mind and justice to the victim.
@@franquil85connyou've had multiple posts on this video saying the same thing. Seems really odd that you have so much animosity for a song of a fictitious story.
@@maynarddrivesfast804 it's the fact that people think it's a good thing that the dude in the song went off and murdered someone. He got put in prison and had his truck stolen by some hussy. Not worth ruining your life for some random broad.
I was a victim of DV for several years. I enlisted in the Army to get away and be safe. Then I became a police officer, and helped women who were victims. It felt really good to put cuffs on the abusers.
I went through what she went through for 17 years. I didn’t have a Romeo, I just had me. I had had enough! I couldn’t feel the pain of his fists anymore, actually I couldn’t feel anything. But God told me, it’s time to go or you’re going to die. So, with no plan and nowhere to go, I left. It took me several years to realize I am a person just like anybody else. Yes, I made it on my own and got a job making pretty good money. I made it. But, I forgave him. We run into each other now and then, and we get along just fine. He knows he has no more power over me. I couldn’t have done this without God telling me to go, and with him helping me find my way. Thanks guys for your reaction and emotions.
Ive watched a lot of reactors reactions to this song and you guys are the first ones that caught the line about the Judge under the seat. That’s a serious revolver. It can chamber a .45, .454 Casull, or even a .410 bore shotgun shell. I wonder which one was loaded up for this justice?
This is such a powerful song with a powerful message. I don't know if you've ever heard Hank Williams Jr. "A Country Boy Can Survive" but it has a strong message of its own. Like Buffalo Springfield's "For What It's Worth" - it's as relevant today as when it was recorded.
Your reaction is my favorite of all the reactions I’ve seen of all I’ve seen!!!!!!! You got everything that was going on, right down to her driving off in his truck. Great reaction!!!!!
Hardy is carving his own path, little bit of metal, little bit of rap and a whole lot of country. I love the uniqueness of his music ("Jack" a song about alcoholism in young men, that gets played on a rock radio station here, "Quit" a short rap about people being nasty when artists are starting out). The best one that says exactly what Hardy is all about, is "Mockingbird and the Crow" which is an F U statement about the mass production of the music industry, and about him following his own path. I'd recommend giving this one a listen if you want to do another Hardy song!
I'm a vet. I also got stupid and am a felon, not allowed to have a 'judge under the seat' but. I'd have still done the same...and willingly paid the price with no thought
Fellow it here also... and would do the same damn thing
Thank you.
Bud if you come from the south every woman knows what wait in the truck means.

Exactly this.
I respect his resolve in the situation... Country, I don't care from the 60s to now.I love it
I think that’s why I love George Strait so much. A lot of his songs do that. Colter Wall is a great one from the newer generation as well.
Not selling me on the genre in general, but I also like a good story.
@@dizastro5437 You definitely don't need to like the genre. Not every genre is for every person. Just please don't judge country music by country radio. Whoever picks what goes on air sometimes feels like a Cali frat boy because they rarely play the best music these days.
My mother was killed by domestic violence when I was 13. This song.. their voices hit my soul in a different way than most. It is a great song to me
So sorry for your loss 😢
I'm so sorry for your loss and what she went through. Rest her soul. Peace and payers to you.
My heart breaks for the childhood you lost in that moment 😢
Prayers for comfort and peace from our Father God.
I'm happy you have a voice in the pain you lived, keep kicking ass. I am a proud nobody that's rooting for you.
My husband of 33 years walked in while I was watching your reaction and said, “That’s not gangster, that’s f*** around and find out”! ❤
Truck bed by Hardy is a funny video.
Good man. I feel the same.
Yep that is fuck around and find out ... not Gangster
That’s a MAN
oh yeah im autistic but thats a true statement this a reality in the south because most of us know that unless we are felons we have the god given right to protect our self or others if necessary
Not everyone catches the Judge under the seat is a revolver made by Taurus.
“I never thought my day of justice would come from a judge under a seat” was brilliant a Taurus Judge is a .45 Colt revolver
"I let the 'hammer' drop........" Justice has been served and final.
.45 colt or 410 bore, some can even fire a 454 casull.
Ive got .410 in mine 😂
Sorry, I just reread my post, I meant to say .45 Colt and 410 bore. Some fire 454 casull and 410 bore
Just one shot not revolver correct

A Rock is almost a masterpiece
Hardy can combine country and metal.
Same with the song "sold out"

@@blakethegreatone2058 Haven't heard of anyone going to prison out here, unless the abusive person went to jail and got killed while in prison
Unless they are crooked cops
Cant forget, Dont go pokin around memaws back garden.
Amen
His "Mockingbird and the crow" Will light you both up.
YES!
2nd that
One of the best songs ever written.
Yes!!!!!
💯
Smoking one of his cigarettes is his such a hard ass line most people gloss over. Love that yall pointed it out
Yeah. Such a badass line
Yes!!!! It might be my favorite line of the song.
I'm a dv survivor, I was one of the lucky ones that escaped. But so many of us can't. This song hits hard in so many ways. The first time I heard it, I sobbed.
I swear metal heads have the biggest hearts… the reactions were chefs kiss 💋
Not sure if y'all realized it, or not, but when he kicks in the door, the abuser drops his lit cigarette in an ashtray. The cigarette he's smoking is the same cigarette, because he reaches down and picks it up, he never lights it! I love this song, along with the listener's reaction to it. I say this because I know I've probably watched nearly 100 reactions to this song, if not
more. Y'all are the first reaction I've seen, that's has caught on to the fact (or maybe they saw it, & never said anything) that she's driving his truck! First time viewing y'all, but it won't be the last
Why we should pass the Punisher act. The act of defending the helpless should give you rights to do what's right, even if laws say otherwise..
This song is the definition of alot of small town America. If your seen hurting a child or a woman it's the last thing you'll ever do only difference is it becomes a missing person's case you'll never be found
My hogs eat everything lol and they are hungry
@@travismillikan38 exactly
We have lots of Alligator ponds around here, that’s how they take care of things. Better Pray the cops arrest you first, that’s all I’m saying.
The coyotes and vultures and crows and ravens are always hungry. And wouldn't you know it, old Bessy done broke her leg and had to be put down...
And I noticed that she "waited in the truck" before driving away 🤗
Only question is will she be there,in his truck, to pick him up when he finishes that five years sentenced.
@@RichardDavidson-e1z its not a 5 years sentence. he said its been 60 months not that he got 60 months
@@goodoleboy83ya, probably got 20- life. Such a dumb song.
He replaced himself in her prison. Very powerful...
Powerful? He will be in jail for decades because she wouldn't leave
Yeah, it’s deep.
Wrong side of the truck bed. It's supposed to be country but it has a heavy metal twist. It's awesome
the first time i heard this was right after a grown man tried "GETTING" my daughter for lack of a better term. and when i heard this i was driving and i had to pull over and i felt this song so hard. in that situation the cops got there before i did, but when i heard this song it embodied everything i felt that day. I would love to meet Hardy day and thank him for this song.
I saw Hardy in an interview a couple weeks ago & he said he got Lainey a Judge pistol as a gift. You have probably heard Lainey's name because she has a duet with Jelly Roll. 'Save me'. And his full name is Michael Wilson Hardy. He has been writing for other for years. Lots of 'radio ready' stuff & decided to start writing for himself so he can say what he wants to say, He has a twist on all his music. His song 'The Mockingbird & the Crow' describes his journey kinda. He started as a mockingbird, writing the 'expected' & & the song is like that... then halfway through, he becomes the Crow, & the music gets harder & the lyrics get harder & he starts speaking his truth. Clever lyricist.
His type of " JUSTICE " should NEVER be punished PERIOD!!!!!!!
We southern women know when a man tells us to wait in the truck, hellfire is about to come down
If you want one that is more of his actual story about him as an artist, my song recommendation would be "the mockingbird and the crow", it is a longer song but well worth the listen and by the end I still want more of it!
Hardy - Give Heaven Some Hell
Hardy - Sold Out
The thing that always bring me back to country music is the storytelling. No matter how I feel about a genre or artist or style, if it’s got a good story to it I’m hooked. Glad y’all liked this one!
I've seen him live twice. He kicks ass. He's hard core. He is brilliant at bringing his songs to life. Him and his Best friend, Morgan Wallen, are beautiful storytellers!
I'm the oldest of nine siblings and I have six sisters. I pray I never have to do this for any of them, not because of the consequences for me, but for what it would mean they went through.
But I'd do it in a fucking heartbeat, no one's laying a hand on a woman if I'm around, especially my family.
Maybe I'm just soft, or maybe its from having so many sisters, but the sound of a woman in pain or fear physically hurts me. Another one of my favorite UA-camrs is Donut Operator and a couple of his law enforcement videos make me shiver.
This is a true story. The man did 20 years and when he got out she still had his truck. They got married, had children, are living in Alabama and he works on the road with Hardy.
That I did not know. I learned something today
Where'd you hear that? Hardy himself said the song came from him and a friend discussing what they would do if someone attacked their fiancés.
That is total BS. HARDY has talked about when he and his cowriters wrote the song. It was going to be about what would they do if somebody messed with one of their girls in a bar one night and it morphed into this.
They performed it live at the country music awards.. it was just as good live as recorded. Hardy gives me that Southern Rock vibe like Lynyrd Skynyrd or Kid Rock. Anyway, this song makes me cry every time.
In my opinion the live version from the awards show sounded even better then the video version.
Hardy also wrote God’s Country which Blake Shelton sings .
Take a look at Daddy Was A Badass by Jesse Dayton,
Glad to see you guys checking out hardy. This album has alot of metal roots in it. The songs The mockingbird and the crow, sold out and kill shit till I die have been on octane radio
Y’all need to check out HARDY. He is GENIUS. He dabbles in metal, rock, country, you name it. His song mockingbird and THE CROW is a great place to start
Thank you .. I did go listen to more Hardy
The judge under the seat line is a dual reference to a 'Taurus Judge' pistol. This is a pistol that shoots a .410 shotgun shell. Absolute crap at any range (like all shotty's) but at the distance he was using it at, yeah... it'll perforate someone's melon very well. 1S1K.. One shot, one kill.
by their reaction, they seemed to know that.
All I keep in mine is 3" mag OOO Buckshot.
That truck is her safe place. I can personally relate
Hardy is amazing! He also has a song with Jeremy McKinnon of A Day To Remember. Some that I think you guys would love by Hardy, are:
I Ain’t In The Country No More
Jack (my personal favorite)
Sold Out
Truck Bed
the mockingbird & THE CROW
..."judge under the seat..." has a special meaning. The gun he used is LITERALLY CALLED a "Judge". An absolutely, powerful awesome song. Everyone can relate.😅
Whiskey lullaby !! Need to see that emotional reaction
This is rude to blindside them with, but I fully agree.
Oh, yes!
❤❤ Yes!! Such an AMAZING song!
YES!!!
I want this so bad.
This is what country music used to be about. A story that invokes an emotional response, even after the first listen. More than that, it is country because out here we have to solve our own problems. There is a Judge under my seat as well.
Harry Radio Song is more up your Alley! A must!
I agree! I think they would love Hardy's rock and metal stuff.
This song does a great job at jerkin a tear and within the next 10-20 seconds making everything better again lmao.
Listen to anything made by Hardy, Morgan Wallen, Ernest, Chris Stapleton and you will continue to like country.
Don’t forget Luke Combs
Hardy's character was absolutely an angel, an AVENGING angel
People often forget that Angels are messengers of God. And God's love is sometimes tough love...
Oh. My. Gosh. Definitely one of your Best Reactions! What an incredible song and video! 💜💜
Every time I hear this song, a fire starts burning deep inside my heart.......and I remember. I almost died one night. A family friend found out what happened, and my then husband ended up in the hospital. When I finally divorced his sorry ass, I thought it was over. After 30 years, I still find myself hearing a noise, and immediately fill with fear. The physical wounds barely show anymore, but the wounds to my soul will never fade. I love this song. I just wish I'd have been the one to pull the trigger.
First time on your channel. I always felt that metal heads were super emotional dudes, so seeing Kyle with tears in his eyes throughout half the song just kind of sealed that for me.
Wait in the truck is what he said to her and also what she did for him. She waited for him in his truck. Crazy. Great song
I have thought a lot about this song since it came out. I came to the conclusion that Hardy’s character must have been raised by a victim of domestic violence, and seen it for himself, and most likely seen the system fail to protect his mother. That is the reason I see being feasible for him to IMMEDIATELY turn the violence up to that level for a woman he had never met. He was likely too young to protect his mother, but not this woman….
Hardy was into Rock when he was growing up. As he got older he liked the stories Country told. He's made himself rich writing songs for other artist's I was so happy when his first song came on the radio
Hardy is saving country rock! Check out more of his stuff for sure. Truck Bed, Rednecker, Jack & Sold Out are great songs of his. He's written some of the biggest country song for the biggest artists.
“Sold out” is one of the best songs.
It was so interesting watching the both of you react exactly the same way at the same time. Great reaction video.
Hardy was the collab Beartooth did for "Better Me" Hardy is also a huge metal head
Also the song Hardy did with the lead singer of A Day To Remember was good. I was surprised when I first heard it.
@@durky4891 I believe he also did uncredited vocals on Bilmuri's Corn-Fed Yetis
There is actually a drum cam video of Bilmuri performing the song with Hardy and Knox. Just found it.
I am SO glad you’re finally doing Hardy!!!!
A Rock, Sold Out, and The Mockingbird And The Crow are definitely ones to look at next.
There is a handful of songs that I watch every reaction of that I can find. This is one of THOSE songs! Right next to Hi Ren, Wrong Side of Heaven.. and AMAZING REACTION ❤
This is one of my favorite songs but I never make it through without getting choked up. I’m a DV survivor and I think the fact that he saves her from that pain…it’s so dark but at the same time, so beautiful to me. Maybe because I’d hoped for someone to help me out of a similar situation. Idk. It really resonates with me on another level though.
This is the first time I’ve watched one of y’all’s videos so I’m not sure if it’s already been done or not, but I highly recommend anything by Jelly Roll. He does a whole ‘nother level of country that even the most anti-country people can’t help but enjoy. It’s a perfect mix of country, hip hop and rock.
He gave up his freedom so another human being can finally live free. Priceless!
Yup, what a dummy.
Oh my God the way this song hit me was unexpected. Thank you for exposing me to this
Few people notice she's driving his truck at the end. It's beautiful
I disagree. No he should not spend the rest of his life in prison. Absolutely not.
But it is all the more meaningful because he knew what was right to do even though it meant he would spend the rest of his life in prison. Another measurement of doing the right thing is what it costs you to do it.
Sometimes the right thing may be viewed as wrong. No one should ever hurt another person, but if they do, they should expect some retribution.
He defended another person he didn't even know. These days he's a murderer. But that is not always the case though. A few years ago a man was found not guilty of murder after he beat his daughters rapist to death with his bare hands. There is still hope. The people who say violence is not the answer are the problem. Violence is not the answer part of the time... But there are times where it is the answer.
He didn't mean rightfully so about spending time in jail ... he meant it about killing they guy
@@galerios1violence isn’t always the answer, but when it is, it’s the ONLY answer. Stay real, king.
I just stumbled across you guys and because you were doing a reaction video to this particular song really piqued my interest. I have loved this song since it first came out. Watching y’all’s reactions was so amazing. Like me, the first time I heard the song, you both were invested in the story. You really felt it. There aren’t too many songs that tell as powerful a story. You’ve got a like and subscribe from me!
Ahh country. My first love. This is some good shit
I loved your reaction to the line about a judge under the seat. I kinda thought that you know exactly what a Judge is.
And remember if you don't like Southern justice, you might be the one who was judged by the judge under the seat.
Lmao. Enjoy prison.
He got five years of time for what we here in TX call a misdemeanor murder, or maybe a public service homicide. But, according to him,it wouldn't have mattered if he were sentenced to a life term because he did what needed to be done to bring peace of mind and justice to the victim.
He was still in jail after 5 years and I live in Texas and that psychopath would be thrown under the jail
@@franquil85connyou've had multiple posts on this video saying the same thing. Seems really odd that you have so much animosity for a song of a fictitious story.
@@maynarddrivesfast804 it's the fact that people think it's a good thing that the dude in the song went off and murdered someone. He got put in prison and had his truck stolen by some hussy. Not worth ruining your life for some random broad.
I found this song last night, sent it to my wife who lives for county music. Her reply was "that's some heavy stuff"
That line "smokin one of HIS cigarettes.." made the song...
wow! I haven't heard this before, and I will have to hear it at least once more to hear everything..
3:54 that moment is priceless
Lainey Wilson got her huge start on Yellowstone, she's amazing! She does tons of duets!
She’s still waiting in the truck!
Lainey got that cake bro. And she's a helluva singer too. Marry me Laney 😂❤
I was a victim of DV for several years. I enlisted in the Army to get away and be safe. Then I became a police officer, and helped women who were victims. It felt really good to put cuffs on the abusers.
I’m not a country fan but this song got me. Fan of Hardy for sure.. looking forward to more reactions from yall on his music
I went through what she went through for 17 years. I didn’t have a Romeo, I just had me. I had had enough! I couldn’t feel the pain of his fists anymore, actually I couldn’t feel anything. But God told me, it’s time to go or you’re going to die. So, with no plan and nowhere to go, I left. It took me several years to realize I am a person just like anybody else. Yes, I made it on my own and got a job making pretty good money. I made it. But, I forgave him. We run into each other now and then, and we get along just fine. He knows he has no more power over me. I couldn’t have done this without God telling me to go, and with him helping me find my way. Thanks guys for your reaction and emotions.
Ive watched a lot of reactors reactions to this song and you guys are the first ones that caught the line about the Judge under the seat. That’s a serious revolver. It can chamber a .45, .454 Casull, or even a .410 bore shotgun shell. I wonder which one was loaded up for this justice?
Real Country does not wanna play games.
Love yall's reaction. Thank you for showing the human side of a situation like this! Great song....
21 pilots overcompensate
Never seen you guys before but this has to be the best reaction to this video I have seen! Love it!
Hi Chris 👋 Thanks for hanging with us! 🤗
as a southern man i love seeing people listening and liking country
This is such a powerful song with a powerful message. I don't know if you've ever heard Hank Williams Jr. "A Country Boy Can Survive" but it has a strong message of its own. Like Buffalo Springfield's "For What It's Worth" - it's as relevant today as when it was recorded.
We country boy's love our wemon starting with our mother and sister's and it keeps going .
The saying Wait in the Truck...Applys to all Women, not just Southern Women!! We all know what it means when a man tells us that!! ❤
Lol Just wait in the truck, is unverisal to all woman.
Absolutely love this song! It’s so powerful and hits hard! Big Hardy fan, especially his harder sounding music and love love Lainey’s voice!
The "Judge" under the seat is a model of Taurus brand revolver.
Your reaction is my favorite of all the reactions I’ve seen of all I’ve seen!!!!!!! You got everything that was going on, right down to her driving off in his truck. Great reaction!!!!!
I did not think I would see this video on this channel!!! F*cking love you guys!!!!! Awesome
Hardy is carving his own path, little bit of metal, little bit of rap and a whole lot of country.
I love the uniqueness of his music ("Jack" a song about alcoholism in young men, that gets played on a rock radio station here, "Quit" a short rap about people being nasty when artists are starting out). The best one that says exactly what Hardy is all about, is "Mockingbird and the Crow" which is an F U statement about the mass production of the music industry, and about him following his own path.
I'd recommend giving this one a listen if you want to do another Hardy song!
