As a 52 yr old woman, this song hits hard & makes me cry because I'm the youngest of 6 (3 girls & 3 boys). My Daddy worked a full-time construction job & then would work 2 part-time jobs doing carpenter work to provide for all of us. We always had a roof over our heads, food, clothes, God's Word & discipline. I only saw my Daddy cry twice...once when his mother my grandmother died & once when he disciplined me over a bee sting. My mother never worked & they married when she was 16 & he was 21 back in the 50's. He's in his late 80's now with dementia & calls my mom the lady, and he only knows me now by the nickname he gave me when I was born not my given name which is ok. I've been married twice & neither of them measured up to my Daddy, which as the sole provider for my 2nd husband & my 2 kids, this song though hits me hard on a personal level as the bread winner. And for me, at least my 2 kids appreciate me, love me & I cry when I need to. ❤❤
Every one need to be hugged and to be loved. .I went through alot for many years.Don t give up its hard but your not alone Dax And Phix are amazing and all the other.Thanyou for sharing My friend ❤🥰. 🥰
Fantastic reaction. I appreciate how you liaten to each verse and then chime in with insight. Liked and subbed. 10 children, God bless brother! Lastly... Dax, thank you for this song.
It is by the grace of God that I am still here at 52. Father of 4. I have always been the sole provider in my home. I sought out suicide many times in my early 20's. I have the scars to prove it, but God had a different plan. My wife of 23 years passed away from breast cancer 5 years ago, leaving me to be a single father of 3. (Our oldest had already gotten married and moved out). I remarried 2 months ago, but my goal now is just to see my last child, who is turning 13 next month out and on his own. After that, I feel like my job is done. I think of death as parole.. I know that's not healthy...but it is what it is. This is just what it's like to be a man...for some of us..
Hey brother! Thank you for sharing your heart. It’s like that for most of us but only some of us will be brave enough to admit it as you did. Stay in it.
"I'd rather be at home on the weekends, chilin with my demons". yeah, that hits hard. Sad that your demons don't judge you, fuss at you, make you feel like you're worthless, yet don't help you either.
I love this song, listened to it 100 times. It is so true, never thought about it before. Dax is right, finally someone who speaks the truth, we need that.
Much respect to the men out there who are trying so hard to do what they can. I hope you find what you need to continue on. Much love from Pennsylvania ❤
The third artist on this video "The Mediary" has two great songs that deserves some attention "The Fallen" and his remix of Dex's God's Eyes. Im not Christian but they got my attention
Thank you for giving your perspective! 10 kids have someone they can look to for answers! One of the most powerful artist is NF, while taking you on his journey you can see the growth also knowing it’s hard work!
I really appreciate the video and your insight! I can say that I can relate to a lot of the topics the song touched on and hearing your thoughts on it as well shows that at least to me its not just a youtube thing. Hearing about and in some cases seeing how others react to things similar to me actually helps a lot. I felt the same way the first time i heard both the original and the remix of this song. Thanks for letting me see I'm not the only one!
Of course! That’s what it’s about. Recognizing how we feel and knowing that it’s ok for us to feel and express. We are not alone. Thank you for watching and commenting.
14:19 in my life, the only people that have really stepped in and helped without any ulterior motives or expectations were guys that are the closest to me. I'm currently dealing with a LOT putting my life back together and it feels so painful not being able to be open about the struggle without having people change how they look at you. It's what truly drives my daily fight with those demons that tell me what Phix shared about things being better if I wasn't alive. The hardest part, but what makes it easier to manage is the two little girls that depend on me.
Wow! Thank you for your honesty and vulnerability. We are human and we struggle. We have to be brave enough to admit it to ourselves and ask for help. Thank you for being brave. I know the pain of opening up however the only opinions that matter are those little girls.
Dax is great at doing mental health songs. He did a song called dear alcohol. He did the same thing with that song where he brought other people on the remix. You definitely need to check his music out.
As a man I feel like all us men keep all feelings locked up in we can’t cry cuz the other man. We see us as weak this comment is to tell you ur not alone in u can cry
Thank you for what you do and the information you are getting out to help people better understand what men go through and that it's not weakness to get help.
Men need an outlet that we can talk to without fear of retribution. Women have all the resources, men don't have that and women will use a man's feelings against him. He can't open up to his wife, he doesnt have an organization to turn to, therapists are majority female so they can't turn there either.
I appreciate it. Thank you. I just looked up Life. Great song. I will do a reaction to it. Thanks for the recommendation. I have heard the original To Be A Man. I was thinking about reacting to that one too.
My brother... statistically, women attempt self-deletion more than men, whereas men finalize it more because of their more violent methods. One perspective is women cry for help, and men try to end their pain.
Yeaaaah.. .women post a video online trying to just get attention. Men go and suicide because that's how they feel. Women will do anything for attention. Always someone trying to bull shit and try to flip the conversation to women. Are u a woman or just a beta? Men over 4 TIMES HIGHER suicide rates. It's not even close.

@@RosalindGotsons yes I agree. Thank you for sharing.
Respect! Father of 10?! Wow. My man you are a good example of intelligence, professionalism, and masculinity for your family. God bless!
Thank you so much!
People ask you what’s up & how are you but no one ever asks you if you’re happy - Heath Ledger shortly before his overdose 😢❤
Wow!! I didn’t know that!
Fantastic reaction. I appreciate how you liaten to each verse and then chime in with insight. Liked and subbed.
10 children, God bless brother!
Lastly... Dax, thank you for this song.

This song gets me every time. Everyone on the track kills it.
Yes it doesn’t get old no matter how many times I listen to it.
"I'd rather be at home on the weekends, chilin with my demons". yeah, that hits hard. Sad that your demons don't judge you, fuss at you, make you feel like you're worthless, yet don't help you either.

Personally I dont give a damn anymore if someone sees me as weak. I’ll talk if I need to talk. Hence this comment. ✌️
As a man I feel like all us men keep all feelings locked up in we can’t cry cuz the other man. We see us as weak this comment is to tell you ur not alone in u can cry
Yes I love it. We can show our emotions
Thank you for what you do and the information you are getting out to help people better understand what men go through and that it's not weakness to get help.
Thank you so much for supporting Machado. I appreciate it. Thank you for the kind words as well.
Men need an outlet that we can talk to without fear of retribution.
Women have all the resources, men don't have that and women will use a man's feelings against him.
He can't open up to his wife, he doesnt have an organization to turn to, therapists are majority female so they can't turn there either.
Epic show 0:29 .
Thank you
Thank you young man we do need more healing for our men. God bless
My pleasure. Thank you for your comment
Great reaction, Bro. What new sub can you do Dax's song, Life and have you heard the original to be a man version?
I appreciate it. Thank you. I just looked up Life. Great song. I will do a reaction to it. Thanks for the recommendation. I have heard the original To Be A Man. I was thinking about reacting to that one too.
I never had a man in my life my adopted dad passed away and my birth dad wants nothing to do with me

My brother... statistically, women attempt self-deletion more than men, whereas men finalize it more because of their more violent methods. One perspective is women cry for help, and men try to end their pain.
Thank you for the insight. I appreciate you
Yeaaaah..

Always someone trying to bull shit and try to flip the conversation to women. Are u a woman or just a beta? Men over 4 TIMES HIGHER suicide rates. It's not even close.
Women also have support organizations where men do not. Men have no one to turn to unlike women
