I’m 32 days sober today.. This song perfectly describes the pain and helplessness alcoholism provides.. it’s the one thing that makes the pain go away. And it’s also the one thing that keeps making the pain worse.. it’s terribly difficult, but you’ll thank yourself for clearing your mind if you can start cutting it back. You’ll start getting things done like you normally wouldn’t. Productivity becomes really important because it’s a distraction and you also get those little things out of the way. Best of luck to anyone who’s struggling with this.. you’re aren’t alone
@@YaBishhhhh66 I know you and OP can do it keep going, and would like to congratulate you on how far you both have already come. Sending positive vibes!
I am not a fan of country music. But this is the 2nd song I heard from you today that has made me cry like a little boy! How on earth you haven't become a household name yet with this material is crazy. Keep doing your thing. Keep bringing new material, they can't deny you. Keep it coming.
I knew it'd have a bunch of us tearing up/crying....it make me tear almost everytime the parts that speak for me/us men I relate 100% n feel it in my soul✌️💪
it hurts feel so unwanted. thank you. only reason im alive is its wrong to take a life including my own no matter the pain, idk how i keep going but i do
Hey man, just so you know... We see you. And we're hearing you. There's no better song than one that touches the deepest darkest secrets in your soul, and this one does it. I have 8 years clean, and work in a treatment center... but my brother died from his use in 2021, my dad struggles with alcoholism, and my mom struggles with drug addiction. My life has been immersed so deeply in drinking and drugging that it has it's prickly little fingers embedded in every aspect of my life. Not only does this song touch the way I felt in my active using, your voice is breathtaking. I did prefer your live performance, in terms of sound. But this is a work of art.. it really is.
I feel this song and this comment in my soul. 35 and this coming week make 5 years since the woman I was planning to propose to walked out on me. Spent all the time since alone (single) and I have isolated myself from everyone I know including most of my family the last couple years subconsciously trying to find ways to stay busy. Been sitting here by the fire drinking and moping around all night wishing I could out run the memories but I guess I started 40 steps behind
Idk you bro but you had me in tears on the first verse. If you ever need someone to talk to holler this way brother. Head high. Hold on tight. Your fans care.
Just found this and God where has this been. Best song when your fully healed and have a backbone. You can listen to this and think like shit I been exactly at this point.
The hopelessness hits home my guy. Recovery is possible for you. If I can get and stay sober you can too. Just keep trying. Keep coming back. We need you
Much love man. Listening to this while currently going through withdrawal to get sober. This song just reminds me of all the pain and desperation of addiction and how I can’t go back. I pray you’re able to find your happiness soon man. This song is helping me more than you’ll ever know. 🖤
Feel this song heavy man. You can be your own worst enemy sometimes. Horrible cycle to be in. I'll find my way, I always do. Great song brother, keep it up.
Keep going one day at a time. Congrats on the clean time I’m sitting at 288 days myself and just found this song today and it definitely hits you right in the feels when you’ve lived it. I don’t know you or your fiancée obviously but I’m really happy for you guys that you’ve started this journey together
Damn, you are much too young too sing that damn old! Wow, love it! Can't wait to hear more from you. So glad this finally came out! You have so much talent. Never stop! Never listen to the haters. Never let a few bumps it that road stop you from where you are meant to be! You have some raw talent there, people can hear it, see it and feel it. We all just get excited! We want more! We want to see you grow and evolve. We want to support you, because we see how much natural talent and potential you have! Congratulations on this day, I know there will be more! ✌️
God led you here to hear this, take your time to heal from all the things you don’t talk about 🫡 it does more damage mentally to bottle it up & do nothing about it.
Damn homie this hit home, I wish you all the success. There is a light pole that every day I drive by and I think just push the gas and close your eyes. Then I remember how hard some people have tried to save me, selfless people who have always supported me. I can't hurt them like that but I also keep fucking up. I know better.
We all go through it brother.. I'm going through it now.. I'll support this till the end.. I'll share it always and I hope anybody who has ever felt this way will too. You not alone brother. 💯
Bro remember when I say this!!!! Please do not stop making music one day the whole world will know your name. You are definitely the next up my boy I’ll be checking for all your new music god bless 🙏🙏🙏🙏
I started following Kevin a few years ago when I first saw him singing John Anderson's, Straight Tequila Night, to his brother. I checked out his socials and watched more videos of him singing and instantly realized that this guy has it. Let's get real, other than Charlie Pride, country music lacks African American vocalist. Not to mention, he's a phenomenal songwriter, which is why you're reading this comment right now. I will continue to lift this young man up and support his journey in creating new and real country music! 🤠
You put them words down perfect, you sing with conviction and power. This song what country music is, deep emotions that are almost untouchable. You make the uncomfortable, beautiful. Kudos man
I pray that this gets over a million views I hope he sees the success that he's industry plants get it's so sad This man truly deserves attention this is true talent please support this young man at all costs... God bless you all! 🙏🏽
Been following you since akademiks shared your page last year. Mark my words in a year u will be one of the top artists in the world Kevin. Thanks for this song, Keep being you. 💯
Holy shit I didn’t know how much I needed to hear this. We’ve all been there man. Just never forget that you have no idea how much you effect the world around you and how much you’ll be missed when your gone. It get better man.
You can feel his pain, this shared human experience is hard on all of us. Its amazing how we as a species can overcome feelings of despair and smile on the other side
When you get big don’t forget where you came from and what works for you when you’re writing your songs my friend. Thank you for this beautiful work of art.
What a great song Kevin , Although I may not be battling anything I know many people out there are and hope and wish they seek help and know they are not alone , keep blessing us with your music 🙏🏼 Remember no one is ever alone
Just found you through a react clip and it brought me to tears, I had to come hear the full version. Man, do not give up, in music or life, youve got so much to offer both. Fantastic lyricism and delivery, combined with someone who sounds that they truly understand their content and message, youre a gem my man. Keep going.
First time I've heard of you. And I already love you and your work. I live in the UK so I don't think this lifeline will work for me but ot doesn't stop me loving this song. You have made me realised a tiny bit that I'm not alone no matter what. The thing is about me is that I don't talk about my sadness because I feel like I burden people with my problems. Thank you for making me realise a tiny bit that I'm never alone. Can't wait to see what you do next ❤
I listen to this daily at this point. Some songs just resonate and bring a level of comfort with their relatability, and this is just that. Extremely underrated, my friend.
Your acoustic version I saw on Facebook really killed it. It hit home. I suffer from addiction and I remember not long ago I was feeling exactly like that. I'm grateful for my clean time today ❤
Found this song today, listened to it 100 times, hope this man drops an album soon, really talented. The lyrics really describe how most of us feel everyday
Just heard this for the first time right now. Blinded by tears by the chorus man. Never had something cut so deep, so specifically. Beautiful music. Thank you.
Real shit. I hope if anyone feels anywhere close to what the lyrics of this song indicate. Please hold on. I wish you knew how much you are loved, and your life matters. There is a way forward and a beautiful life. Reach out for help! It’s never too late
Wow those lyrics hit hard. Tough, honest, heart on the sleeve lyrics. Definitely gonna be a hit especially amongst those who have experienced this or loved ones who have. 🥺❤️💯
I'm drunk now..... I wish I wasn't.... my little brother died 2 months ago from alcohol withdrawals. I just don't know how to be here without him.... this song makes me feel closer to him
Your brother would want you to keep on going. One day at a time, one foot in front of the other. I’ve been there myself, still struggle daily it’s the battle within yah mentally and physically sometimes with anything you use to hide the pain. This life is worth living for brother. You only get one shot at it. I think your brother would wanna be here today with you as well. Should try to live for his memory each and everyday. I don’t know your brother but I know if you asked someone who’s gone what they would want or have?. They’d say just a little more time with the ones I love! Lost my foster parents back to back at 26. They were my rock and my world. Knew when to let me fall and when to pick me up. We were really close. Father was 36 when he passed from heroin and I was 7 and lived with him, mother wasn’t around but after my foster parents passed we spent a lot of time together and I took her in during her last years as she struggled with COPD. It broke my heart to watch her recently pass from not taking care of herself and choosing drugs instead of everything else. She was 59 and I was 29. I’m 31 now, was in a downward spiral for years but I kept on pushing. I can finally say I see the old me again and the light at end of tunnel. Yah gotta find what’s worth living for. I’ve kicked myself for not doing better and how they’d want me too. Got 3 kids now that I fight for everyday. Find something worth living for brother.
Two of my uncles died from alcohol and with drawl. They have updated medication that people don’t know about, the detox places have alcohol pills in part they take the withdrawal away so you can slowly come down. Seek medical treatment and ask questions to find a place that’s right for you. It’s uncomfortable but it’s worth it!
This man just delivered the best country song I have ever heard in my life.
For the simplicity and the way the world is today... spot on!
Dude I'll put you on so many good country songs

Since I first heard this song, that hook can’t get out my head. I find myself randomly singing “so I drive my truck about 82 on a 25”
I'm glad I found you bro. I be down on myself a lot too. This spoke to my soul man fr 😢
