With a woman for 5 years had 2 kids. She cheated and i never recovered, she ignored how i felt and tried to blame me for so long. I resented her and took out alot of my anger she made ne feel on her. It was wrong of me. Walking through these past 2 years was rough. Im just now learning to get past without drugs, alcohol, or not being me. Music, good friends, god, healing me and i still got alot to go.
One thing that openned up my mind and heart to forgive is to write the story from the other person's perspective. Sometimes, we get lost in thinking about ourselves as the victims, but we don't realize all the pain we inflicted. Once you see yourself in that light, you make ammends with the situation, and hopefully, you will realize that you need to make peace with youself. There's an innocent child inside each of us that didn't want us to become the awful people we were at some point, so it's important to recognize that and give ourselves some love and compassion. This will translate into love and compassion for others, even those that hurt us the most. Then the gift of that relationship will be clear to you.
Matthew is such a gifted song writer !! Drew is equally talented, but Matthew somehow finds those lyrics that reach into the heart. For a young fella, he writes like he's lived a lifetime ! Love you guys !!
@jenniferrobinson2000 facts! I found these gentlemen 2 days ago. I'm going thru a really sad divorce right now. 12 years and it's over. She is an addict and I supported her thru all of it, but now, she is leaving me for a man she met in rehab. I just feel bad for my kiddos. These songs were written specifically for me. I can't stop watering my eyes.
Sitting on the beach in Northwest Florida tuned up and tuned in, kool tune. Memorial Day 24, thanks to the brave ones that gave it all so i could sit here in peace and relax....
Just found these guys on instagram and I’m going thru the playlist now . Why haven’t I heard about this sooner . With all the manufactured music out there this is a breath of fresh air !
Forgiveness is such a hard but wonderful lesson..bitterness and regret arent a way to live. These guys really nail it. More people need to hear this message.
This song speaks to me on such a deep level. I was bitter, I got revenge, I got nothing from it in terms of feeling any better. Now I’ve just put my all into one person and yeah I can agree that love definitely is the medicine to make it all better.
To the Red Clay Strays if you happen to ever look at these. Thank you. For being amazing at what you do. You guys have become my favorite band...it only took 2 songs and I was hooked. No One Else Like Me was the first I heard and is probably my favorite if I had to pick. Your style is somehow very original while using traditional rock n roll and country flare. Your lyrics cut straight through, hit nerves, and make neck hairs tingle man. The whole band is epic, drums are energetic, guitars/bass find perfect rhythms with the song. Seems to be a couple different styles that come together perfectly... I am a self proclaimed music connoisseur, started subscribing to Rolling Stone in 1999. I knew every damn word to more than one Bob Dylan song before I was 18 years old, including the 7 plus minutes of "Tangled Up In Blue"...Not many people in my age group could have said that. And I'm here to say yours is seriously great stuff. I want to say something about the song "Forgive" particularly. I had been listening to you guys for a couple months...checking out every song and UA-cam video. Strange but I had somehow overlooked this one. And then it found me on New Years Eve this year...some background...my wife and I divorced last year after 10 yrs of marriage and 13 years of being together. It's rocked my world. Don't know what you got til it's gone, right? Well seems like I'd been missing her more everyday. Missing her while being so frustrated too. I get along alright, still have a good time, but it weighs heavy behind the curtain. Anyway...I spent this recently passed New Year's eve alone ..my daughter is 18 and does her own thing, most of my friends are settled with families, and I really didn't feel much like asking some random chick out this year. So I stayed home and sipped and smoked and listened to tunes. Couldn't help but think about her a lot...I was feeling pretty bitter and angry. I just couldn't understand why things got to this point and if I'd ever get over it.... But then this song came on while I was cutting wood for a book shelf I was making. And it grabbed my attention and it lifted an amazing weight off my chest. Sometimes a song is the best medicine, more therapeutic than any doctor's advice for sure. And I have come to truly believe that a song somehow finds you when you are needing to hear it. Hell it may more likely just be from being in a vulnerable state that it feels that way, but I've had a couple times it really felt like more than that somehow. This was one. I've honestly felt better about things since I've heard it. So again, thank you for what you do and please keep doing it. The world needs music like this. 👍🤙👌🤘
Thanks for sharing. I’m dealing with homelessness living amongst the dumpsters. This band made me smile, cry, get goosebumps and gave me hope for the future in one day. I listened to their music and felt joy. They are a gift from God. Thanks !
Just saw them open for Elle King, became my new favorite band immediately. Plus the entire band signed my merch after the show. They are all truly great people!!! Thanks Red Clay Strays for being authentic
I'm with you on them becoming your favorite band. It literally took listening to two of their songs and I felt the same way. There is so much substance in the songs. These guys should be cherished in the music world. Hopefully they reach that notoriety...but with most good music today, I say it's too good for radio...so might not hit all the masses it should. Seems they are on their way though. I know I'll keep listening and telling friends about them.
I can really relate to this song. Was divorced from my ex wife a couple years ago. We had our rough marriage and rough separation with trying to coparent while trying to find forgiveness and trust again, for the children’s sake. I’m glad to say we finally found that forgiveness and learned our lessons, unfortunately the hard way… but God is good and he redeems. Scripture tells us The Father in heaven can’t forgive us unless we in turn forgive others.
Chronic insomniac, going through hell on earth... Broken, shattered. This song speaks to me. Hurts and so beautiful. Literally just binging and im about to finally fall asleep to this soothing beautiful voice and music... Ty
I forgive all and I asked are father to forgive me for all who I did wrong 🙏 if you don't mean it it doesn't matter you to truly have to forgive everyone that did your wrong in every way or It don't count believe me
Amazing show last night! Showed up for Elle King..walked out a fan of these guys! You Rock...Roll, Country, Blues and Doo Wop with a whole lot of Soul! The cover of Solomon Burke's Cry to Me...was icing on top of an amazing original set! Thank your for sharing your gifts with the world! 🌌🌟💕💜💕🌟🌌
@@RUBYSSHOES The drummer was litterally so electric he could have lit up the whole block with his energy! The lead singers voice is heavily influenced by a long list of my favorite artists...it's like he is channeling everything good in the musical firmament! It's funny you say obsessed! I was accused by a friend of the same issue using that exact word after sending every song and performance they have on UA-cam out to the free world! My neighbors are really enjoying there music too..if they like it or not! We caught rising Stars! I am fan girling out with you and sending lots of musical Love your way! 💜
They gonna be big. Takes time but more and more people I ask have seen or heard of them. Looking forward to seeing them again. Wife and I will plan a vacation around a venue they play soon.
You just told the world how just about every man in America feels. Love starts with us and dies with us, what you do in between is the difference between salvation and damnation
Saw them in charlotte last night and you made a new fan especially the song you sang with deirks Bentley was over the top. May I say better than the main act!
So hard to forgive, though God shakes me up i forgave u! I know Father can I just have a day to re collect myself! I'll will definitely follow my Fathers paths always been there since sevenyrs old hey I'll stick with him! Only Father i knew!
Wow! Just wow! These guys are outstanding ❤ Please come to Scotland this place needs a revival, & wholesome music like this that has the power to reach clay hearts!
I forgive all, but that doesn't mean I don't hold those who destroyed me accountable with going right too the point. Then it's up to them . Hopefully they don't destroy the next one.
What is this?? The writing is phenomenal. The way these guys play together in one accord is rarely found. Special is an understatement. Thanks guys. We’re getting the messages. There is freedom in Jesus. He just sang about my 13 year marriage to my second husband. Divorced many years. We still love each other. Just couldn’t do it together. Really sad. He remarried. I never did. And I’m the one who filed for D. Go figure.
When I was nine years old I moved from Mississippi to South Florida and I met my wife that weekend at church and the Lord said that’s going to be your wife and I looked and the two girls beside her were prettier. I’m being honest but I heard him say that to me and we were friends through our teenage years and I married her at 22. We have three grown kids that are doing well spiritually and financially and marriage wise. We have seven grand children. And in May of this year she said she had no love for me anymore and moved out. I’m a lost 61-year-old man that’s probably going to lose his house in divorce and have to start over after working hard since I was 13 for what I have. She had been growing cold for a long time and I letter and that’s my fault. Don’t let your wife stay mad more than three days because it grows like a cancer
Ephesians 4:26-27 Be angry and do not sin, do not let the sun go down on your anger, and give no opportunity to the devil. I’m so sorry. That is a very sad story.
I've been down the exact road. I made the same mistake you're making right now. Time will teach you, You are not responsible for her happiness or the things she's done. There's nothing you could have done or not done that would have made any difference. Be a beast and fight for every dime you have spent years building, and something else that's gonna happen ,be ready for her to want you to take her back. If you do she will think you're weak. There's no win. They keep cutting their own nose off to spite their face. There's no win. Fight for what's your's

@@gil84rs. Yep....learning to walk a mile in another's shoes fosters empathy and compassion which is in too short supply lately.
