    I'm in the process of adopting a 5 yr old wonderful little girl that was sexually abused by her biological mother and her father more her biological mother but the father didn't stop it (she has lived with me for a year) and this is our song we play it turned all the way up over and over in the car and at home. she knows every word and sings along every time. it has actually helped her a lot with her speech she was very delayed due to the trauma she has endured and singing has brought her so far. for 6 months after I got her no one could understand her now 5 months of listening to this song daily and singing your songs everyone can understand her! every time we listen to this song she says you're the best mommy I ever had and i love you through the whole universe! she melts my heart and I wanted to thank you Taylor Ray because that little girl loves all of your songs and of course I do too! It's definitely made going through horrible court dates every 2 months worth it all to see the smile on her face after singing our hearts out to your song! our adoption will be final by Sept 2017!!!

    brotha, this song explains everything a female needs to know. domestic violence isn't a joke. I was in a relationship with someone that was put through that, and it was so hard for her to trust and be happy. if only I could have shown her this song before she walked out and left because of the stuff she's been through.
    Keep on chasing your dreams brotha, you'll make wherever you want whenever you sing the truth!!

    “What did he say, what did he do, why don’t you put it on me what he put you through?”
    this lyric hits me the hardest, someone actually WANTS to hear my story. its empowering especially for young girls like me who were in relationships with violent partners from as young as 14. thank you

    I have to say to all the people posting about Domestic Violence and telling your stories. You guys are AMAZING! It is very hard for victims/survivors to speak out. Your words are encouraging others to BREAK THE SILENCE. My hats off to you, I love you guys, and your always in my prayers. GOD BLESS

I have been in and out of foster care my whole life, and I wish someone was there to tell me the words that you are singing. Thank you very much! Music has always been a big part of my life.

    I'm from a small town in N.C and my Mama and Grandpa were killed 5 years ago by her husband. My grandpa was wheelchair bound and in the bed and had no way of defending himself. My Mama was his caregiver. On the night she was finally ready to tell her husband to hit the road for good, he snapped. She was abused by him for 15 years or more. The only thing that me and her ever argued about WAS HIM. I witnessed him attacking her more than once as a kid and teenager and could never understand why she would just let him right back in. This has been the hardest 5 years of my life. This rocked our family and I try to share her story with people that I know are being abused in hopes of helping at least one, but these people are so mentally torn down that they feel like no one else can love them. I wish it was as easy as just hearing a song to wake people up. They don't realize how many people are affected if their abuser kills them.

      I'm so sorry to read this! It is so hard. Power control is real to the name. Power. Even if they know (which you're right many think no one will be there.) they can be loved. They are exactly that so torn down emotionally , mentally , physically , and don't even realize until you're out. The difference between real reailty and what was once thought to be reailty. 16.5 years of emontial abuse. Manipulation, gas lighting , power control, and more. I'm free now and couldn't be happier. And in those I was still me but at the same wasn't fully me. So hard to explain. Why it is so hard to spot sometimes. Prayers for healing to you and all affected. Keeping sharing her story and hold the good memories close. ❤❤

    I went through a dv relationship, my current bf (bless his heart) sung this to me and I broke down crying. No one deserves to be treated poorly and learning to trust again after a dv relationship is beyond difficult. This song embodies every feel that comes with starting over and feeling safe again. ❤️

      I went through a very bad DV what u would call a relationship and grew up with a father that was physically and mentally abusive when I finally snapped and paid that bf back for all the abuse and left I stayed single for a long time then started dating a wonderful man 9 yrs ago he played this song for me a while back and I broke down. I still listen to this song almost every day to remind myself i survived and how great of a life i have now

    This song is only at 90k, and there is an emoji in their that can save lives if sent to the right person!! This song should b blowing up even after all this time I’m going thru the exact same thing and it’s hard and this song made me see it…. I’m not blinded anymore, this should b breaking in the millions and billions…. I came from a home with it only to trust someone and get the same shit happening to me…. Trusting the wrong person…. Taylor ray if you ever see this comment I hope you know you may have saved my life because I’m at a loss for words and you wrote them down All for me…. I don’t know how or what to do but at least I’m not blind anymore from all the lies and belittling of everything that has happened to me…. Thank you from the bottom of my heart I hope you see this and know you should be getting the highest award for your talent and kindness to bring awareness to this it’s happening way to much to people who don’t know how to leave when they have nothing…. I’ve never been treated right by any man, but the voice of a man in this song for the people everywhere it’s sad to say you get to treat billions of people right by recording this hit…. Everyone hater or not need to like this share it check on your loved ones because you never know I have hid it for too long…. Anyone who needs a person to talk to email me ashleykay9799@gmail.com please no hate I’m taking a chance for the people who really need help or even if it’s one person anonymous email who wants to talk or needs to I’m here just like Taylor ray is for his fans by caring enough to come out with this I hope this reaches everyone it needs too…. Thanks again Taylor hope you get to see this and feel proud….

    I've been abused since I was 7 after my Dad died. First by my blood relations, then when I got older by people I thought were my friends then by someone I was with until recently. I've been through sexual abuse, mental and emotional abuse as well as severe physical abuse and this song really touches my heart. Thank you so very much for it!

    Taylor, thank you for this song. I was abused by family members and by boyfriends, by the age of 15 I was a wreck. I would flinch anytime someone even looked at me. I prided myself on my ability to “disappear” and just blend in so no one noticed me. I refused to date because I thought I was too broken for any man. I listened to this song for years as a way to cope and remind myself that there are men out there who are patient and willing to wait until I’m ready. Well… I’ve found that man. He’s incredibly patient, loving, understanding, he’s amazing at communicating, and he’s the healthiest- most non toxic- person I’ve ever been around in my entire life. I came back to this song today and instantly smiled. This song had given me a hope I once lost, so thank you

The guy I currently talking to knew my husband and what he put me thru. Everyone I have talked to has asked me to write what I have been thru. Love the song keep it up.

      I promise you it does get better. It's hard at first but it does get better. Make sure you are safe. He will say whatever it takes to get you to come back but then it will all happen again . One thing I learned is if he got away with it once he will do it again cuz he knows you will put up with it and accept it. Idk how bad it's gotten but make sure you have friends that you can tell the situation to so there's a record of it. I was embarrassed to tell but there's nothing to be ashamed of or embarrassed of. The shame and embarrassment is on him not you. Please be safe. I promise there is someone out there who won't treat you like an animal and hurt you. Theres someone who will love everything you thought was a flaw or that he said was ugly every little thing about you they will love. You deserve to be happy just like anyone else does I've found happiness and even tho I'm single I'm.happy. I'm.alive . That's what matters.

    I was a victim of abuse twice. I’m a boy though. So I had a abusive father who would abuse me and my mother. He was on drugs and drank sometimes. He would beat me and my mother. When he beat my mother he did it right in front of me and this went on for four years. Finally my mother divorced him. The second time was when I was with my ex. I loved her dearly. But she changed out of nowhere. As soon as I met her brother she became abusive. She wasn’t a normal girl either. She play a lot of sports. She beat me up and her brother would come over and do the same. I broke up with her and found somebody new and we got married and had a kid. Then she was tragically killed in a car accident. I have been diagnosed with PTSD, Anxiety, and depression. I am currently taking therapy and am getting better. And I hope nobody else will ever have to go through what I went through.

    Someone amazing and that means ooh so Damn much to me showed me this song, he is just my friend right now but I pray to God one day he Will be ooh so much more, I feel that I might have fallin deeply in love with him, and that scares me but also feels absolutely amazing because I haven't ever felt like I would love in the way I am feeling for him.. My daughter n I are survivors of a terrible horrific abusive situation. I let it go on for years being afraid he would actually kill me, and when I finally decided to walk, he literally tried and just about hands down succeeded... This song and this more than wonderful man has made my life so worth living.. I haven't been able to stop smiling or dancing since he showed me this, at so many times I thought I was going to give up for I couldn't stand the thought of living anymore but because of him and this song , I've decided my life is worth living..and that I deserved to be truly for once happy.. All I wanna say is NEVER give up y'all their will be a day when the only tears you will shed are them happy tears n the only fear you will know is loosing the one that means the most to you in this whole world, if I can make it so can y'all.. Thank you my hopefully future hubby Hehee, and Taylor for all the inspiration you have given me and my lil girl, it will never go un forgotten.. Much love forever.. This survivor

    Taylor, I just wanted to thank you so much for coming out with a song that has a cause n so much meaning for so many people. I myself am a victim of domestic abuse so hearing this song and your music has helped alot. I love ur music and I don't think there's a track I've heard on utube yet that I haven't like or couldn't relate to in ur music n I love ur voice its amazing n one of a kind but the way you can change ur voice like in "tie me down" it's just crazy. I've been n delt music my entire life n I thank the lord above everyday BC without music there's times idk how I would have survived I've always enjoyed singing n wanted to sing but a thats just not really possible for me since I had to have a emergency surgery when I was younger m they had to burn my throat n vocal cords to get the bleeding to stop. So big dreams of being a country star from Iowa didint quite turn out as planed but I had major stage fright to sing alone I was OK as long as I wasn't solo lol. I really hope you get this n get to read it and reply somehow. Ive never left a comment before so not sure how this works!! Music4Life one of ur biggest fans Valerie Ann Johnson or Lucky Angel

    I myself am a victom of demestic violence . I litertly put blood sweat and tears in a relationship for almost 5 years. I gave my all ,I loved hard and fought like hell to keep him with me even tho he was cheating on me and not coming home till 3-4 days later smelling of alcohol and he would beat on me cause i knew what was going on..I never could figure out what i was doing wrong , I always did what i was supposed to as a wife ,a mother,and a lover.,Till I escaped from him almost 4 years to this day.I finally realized the issue was never me it was him all along!!! It has took me a lot to get to where I am today. I still have issues and i prob always will but im alive and that's the most important part. I do forgive him and he's found God and i still occasionally talk to him and encourage him to keep doing good. But note to anybody who's in a abusive or been in a abusive relationship , even tho u feel as if ur alone know ur not please speak up tell somebody it's ok to ask for help, let ur voice be heard,cause nothing else is more important in this world than ur own life and well being. Let's all stand together grow strong together and become a family United as one and kick the old habits to the curb. Remember ur Beautiful inside and out . We all have issues were human, but it's not right to treat each other like dirt. God gave his life for us so that we could live ours . So why not love each other and make this world a better place for our kids and each other .God Bless, I love You Taylor Ray Halbrook u have changed my life around 190% for the better, because of ur beautiful soul and ur beautiful and powerful music . I thank u from the bottom of my heart because of u . U are my hero u saved my life. Please continue to make more music like this God Bless u beautiful soul!!!

Hey maybe they are related lol.. I went through it for 7 years before I got the courage to pack up and leave one day he was at work. It was the hardest thing I done because I didn't want my marriage to fail but I knew I had to do what was best for me and now I'm glad I did. Im a much better person now then I was with him. Yeah I have trust issues but who wouldn't in my shoes? Well im glad you got out. I do miss him and I probably always will because I was madley in love with him but I know that me leaving was for the best. Now he's dating his 7th or 8th cousin. (Yuck)🤢🤮. Now he's her problem. Hes already hit her a month into their relationship. Now it's her turn. She knew how he was. She used to be my friend until she started sleeping with my husband. #theybothnasty #JRS

    This song gives me a lot of hope. I was abused as a child in every form you can be abused. Then at 14 a boy forced me to date him and began to abuse me, I was terrified to ever even say a word to him. He would force me to self harm, he would say if I didn’t answer his calls that he would kill himself and put my name in the suicide note. Now I’m 17 and terrified to date or trust anyone. I know not all men are bad. But my fear is more of who would want me after that. My ptsd is so bad that I just have nightmares constantly, and flashbacks when I’m awake. But this song gives me hope that someone out there will love me and want to make sure I’m not hurt again. If you’re reading and are going through something similar- please get out. Fight for your life. You’re worth it
