This song triggered a *wonderful* discussion between my husband of 15 years and myself. I played the original for him and asked if that was how he felt. He said, "Every single day." I had no idea men felt like that. I feel like we as women / partners are failing our men. We need to step the *f* up. I learned to not rush outside if he sits in the truck for a few minutes decompressing after a bad day. I just give him time. I'll look out there, make sure he's ok, he gives me a wave or something, and I'll say "Come in when you are ready." I've learned not to take it so personal if he's in a bad mood after work. Maybe he had a crappier day than usual and couldn't shake it off as much. So... TLDR : Dax brought about a positive change in my marriage with a song. 🎶🔥💖😎🙏🏼
thats beautiful. i wish you all the absolute best in life.
Such a cool response, thank you for sharing this, such wise words for me to hear😊❤️
You are a blessing an I'm sure he knows that
Wow. That's really great to hear. Peace.
You are a true definition of a wife. Respect.
“Jesus wept, and brother so can you” goes SO hard
YES!! 💯 ❤
Mr. Ben Becker - the fella who belted out that part - is an awesome vocalist !!!! I admittedly became a huge fan due to the Dax video with a group of other awesome artists. Everyone involved did great !!!!!
Ladies, if you're with a man, and you check on him or he just decides to confide in you and tells you things on his heart. NEVER EVER use that information in a fight against him later. He'll never tell you another thing like that and NEVER truly trust you again with his heart. He may still love you, but won't trust you with his emotions.
Well said, thanks for this😊❤️
Great advise
100%. Men know the line with each other..we can physically fight and forgive after way easier than being betrayed!
Facts.That's On Everything.🙏
I lost my 23-year-old son April 2021. He was in a horrible relationship, the woman very abusive. Standing in my living room not long before his death, staring out of the window he said "Mom, you were right." I told him, "I don't care about being right. I want to know what we're going to do about it." He shrugged it off, having no answer. As long as you're above the dirt, you have a fighting chance. The answers will come. My son left behind 2 babies, whom I will never see, and I knew when I buried my son that I was burying my grand-babies as well. It doesn't have to be that way. There is help out there----someone willing to listen or just lend a shoulder. It isn't weakness. It takes strength, so be brave and fight for your life, and that of your children if you have any. I implore you, men....do what you have to do to stay on your feet and fight. It won't last as long as death does.
I'm so sorry for your loss. It's about time we start having these conversations. Too many good men end up lost because they can't find the way out. God bless.
So sorry for your loss .
"Man cannot remake himself without suffering, for he is both the marble and the sculptor." - Alexis Carrell
When this song came out I had just sent my hubby to detox/rehab for alcohol after he was sober for 13 years. This song spoke to my soul. Happy to say he's been home for almost 2 months and is sober and he's super proud of me for holding everything down while he was gone.
Thanks so much for sharing this Jackie😊
I have been in therapy for 10 years and dax put 10 years worth of hurt and healing in a series of songs about us men. When I started my wife made me go. I said I don't know why I am here she made me. Yeah was EXACTLY what I NEEDED. you are a great man to help us by reactions and stories. Best therapy reactions on youtube.thank you.
This song has also helped my husband and myself, it brought tears to his eyes because its being talked about, thanks Dax you are a healer❤
"God can hear the silent masculine scream, even when Noone else can hear you." - TD Jakes
As a man that has seen what life can do to us. Veteran and we dont need allt . Ive only been told 2 times that i was appreciated and i remember it to this day
Thank you for this, I’m a 54 year old man, who has been fighting with depression and anxiety for 15-20 years, it’s only the last few years that I started fighting back, my job helps me not think about ending it, this song hits harder than a lot of other therapy songs’ out there, again I thank you. subbed
Tom, many of these artists were in Dax's "Dear Alcohol Mega Remix". That is where he first met them. You should do that one. It's about 20 mins long,but so very worth it. I know you'll love that one. He contacted all of these artists and paid for them to fly in to make this video with him. What an incredible human being!
Much love, Tom ✌️❤️🙏
That’s so cool to hear! Thank you for this and I will check out that remix😊❤️
This song is a road map for men and women.
For men, it lends a voice to the voiceless. Gives hope to the hopeless.
For women, it shows a woman exactly what men feel a lot of the times. Notice the 2 women in this song were not invalidating the man's feelings nor attacking him for it. Rather they showed love, support and apologizing.
"You picked me up when I was broken, you piece together words that were not spoken, even when the world doesn't show you the same love."
"Your heart is deserve enough show it, I see you for who you are, I hope that you know it"
Ladies if you were to make these statements to your man, it would put the biggest smile on his face and make him feel comfortable in opening up.
Ladies you have so much power to lift your man up. Use that power for good and not to demean him.
i only want to say one thing, you are a dear friend to the world of mental health and the world at large and you continuing to do these is keeping men like me, PUSHING. the music was always one aspect. but now the new and biggest aspect is, tom stevens. thank you for everything you've done for me, for us, for music, for mental health, for therapists, and for the world. we are now becoming grateful FOR YOU even though it seems its only for the artists but you have been infectious to the entire reaction therapy family, your words are a new form of music for our minds and ears to take in. that is truly beautiful. god bless. & one more time:
ya did good tom
-Anthony van Atten
This made my day! Thank you so much Anthony😊 I really love what I do and I love reaction therapy and knowing you’ve benefited gives me joy. Appreciate you so much❤️
Thank you for doing this song, i had never heard it and it’s such a relief to know I’m not the only one feeling this way.
I watch your channel and the @jkbros as well, Im currently going thru this and reached out to a therapist about it but they never reached back so I stopped... Its tough man thats why i love this song so much cause it resonates with me a lot. Keep up the great work
So sorry to hear you didn’t get a response, that’s not good and embarrassing for me as a therapist. You deserve better, thank you for taking the time to comment😊🙏
I work in hospital. I’ve seen dealt with some beyond horrific things. Things no one should have to see. When this happens during the job I have to push down the feelings that I’m feeling because I still have a job to do. I am already numb to some of these horrific things, I have to be. However if I don’t release these feelings, I’ll become numb to everything in life. As depicted in the third verse that’s when things start getting very dark for people, many times men.
Thanks so much for sharing, appreciate you 😊❤️
I hear a lot about the bottling... but honestly when try to let it out it goes unheard or don't want to hear it or telling it to someone that has no clue lol, n not just as a man but being a man, like last therapist I saw, court mandatory, she was great, but I didn't even let her know 1/3rd my life and had her ready to cry, she ended up venting to me and whatever, which enjoyed seeing and talking and letting her vent, lol said was intimidated by me at first, we became friends...she helped me out a lot with legal crap, I've been thinking of reaching out to her because the bs been going through lately....
I like that you said something about women being included in the video because I was thinking the same thing! I really wasn’t expecting there to be any since it’s a song about being a man, but I’m really glad there was! I think it’s good to hear both perspectives!
Thanks so much! Appreciate you and I really am grateful that women are a part of this😊❤️
The 2nd to last guy was Romeo TheGreatWhite, he's a musician from South Africa that blew Dax away with his verse, and he's really good.
😊👍
Hey, if I'm being honest, this song, especially the 2nd woman on it, may have saved my life. I'd love to find someone to talk to and get my life back on track. I almost gave it all up. I'm at a point where I don't know where to go.
Hang in there brother. This too shall pass. You will get through this. Never give up.
The life that i've been handed, is so hard to deal with. My mother died at 35 years old when i was only ten. oldest brother lost and eye, and was severly stabbed but surived, youngest brother hit by a car and put in coma, father mentally snaps and puts us into foster homes, going from foster home to foster home, come to find out that my father wasn't really my father when he was the only one i ever knew. I survived gang life. at 19 years old i fell 50 feet breaking my back, paralyzed from the waist down, never to walk again. but my fight was strong and i beat those odds and more. I've survived being homeless and picked myself up out of that while enduring all the pain and other things that resulted from my trauma. Survived this life with no money. No Hope. I kept all that bottled in, then one day i just started crying for no reason. it hit me like a tidal wave and i just couldn't stop crying. till this day, i haven't stopped crying. Pain and mistery was such a part of my life, that today when i see happy things on TV, instead of being happy, i cry. I've even come close toUN-ALIVE MYSELF. even said my goodyes to the people that mattered in my life. but ended up fighting cause that's what i do. anyways, this song, and every verse hits a sore spot in my soul. and it makes me cry like a baby every time. But, i haven't ever given up. I keep up my fight. And, sad as it may sound, all i do today is look forward to taking my last breath. Naturally. coming to that place where i take my last breath, will feel like being release from this phyical prison. BIG RESPECT FOR THOSE WHO ARE BOTH SO BROKEN THEY'RE EMOTIONALLY PARALYZED, AND THE ONES WHO FIGHT FOR THEIR SANITY. THIS LIFE IS HARD, AND ALL I WANT SOMETIMES ISTO FEEL A HUG AND HEAR "BABY, IT WILL BE OK". STAY UP. STAY STRONG. WE'LL BE REWARDED ON THE OTHER SIDE.
I've read all these replies, and yours broke me. I'm a long-time Vietnam Vet counselor. I had a Vet show up at my house one day, gun in hand, ready to stop,the pain of all those images in his head and heart. I sat on the edge of his car and said I'm here to listen to anything you want to say. I'm going to turn my back to you, and if you feel like talking, I'm going to listen. With my back turned, I could not see his face, and he could not see mine. He felt free to talk without any expression from me, and that is what he did. He spoke, cried, got angry, and for 6 hrs, he grieved all that had happened in his life. All that he had had to do as a Marine, the loss of his lower body from taking a bullet in Vietnam, the loss of intimacy with his wife. He felt like a failure when, in fact, he was a hero. I hear some of him in you, and I want you to know that you are not alone. True, I'm a woman, but that doesn't mean that I can't feel your pain. Please reach out for help in a support group or a therapist. Your life is worth it. You are worth it. My heart goes out to you for all the pain you've endured, but there's a way ahead, I just know it. God bless you.
thank you so much. i truly appreciate your words @@kimdolly
Love your shirt. Dax did an amazing job in this collaboration with all these amazing artists
I relate to this song so much. Im constantly in a state of depression to where I've always got ending it on my mind. Doesnt help my dad is dying of cancer and putting a mask on for everyone so they dont see how badly i wanna scream but im the man i cant. I just wish i wouldnt be hurting anyone if one day im gone.
Great song. Dax is awesome.
8:00 that's my favorite verse, I've said that for years "most men are halfway dead inside" myself included
Man you know what I found out? And what took me way too long to find out, is that my Marine corps brothers the roughest toughest hardest mean you can ever meet are pretty much the only few men I can be vulnerable to and that's floored me
So I've been meaning to do this for a while.
This is my verse to dax song what it's like to be a man so here it is. I hope you enjoy
Dax hook
I can't hide myself
I don't expect you to understand
I just hope I can explain
What it's like to be a man
It's a lonely road
And they don't care 'bout what you know
It's not 'bout how you feel
But what you provide inside that home
My verse
As a single full time father of 3 /
2 boys and a girl one autistic one with adhd/
Taking care of everything on my own trying to build a dream/
No one to to turn to when we face all of life's adversities /
There's no movement for men were told to just keep moving/
Theirs no outlet from the pain no way to sooth it/
We just have to bottle the feeling and live an illusion/
We have to be our own savior somehow having to find a way to just do it /
Our only value is how much we can provide /
Having to stay strong to the world while at night we cry threw our eyes/
Knowing no one would care even if they saw threw us acting as If everything's alright /
And if he says he's alright just know it's a lie /
Cuz men know deep inside no one cares if we confide /
About how we feel until we feel dead inside/
It's the unspoken truth that simple goes undressed /
It's the cold hard truth we simply don't confess /
I know this verse won't change a thing I just had to get it off of my chest/
Dax hook
I can't hide myself
I don't expect you to understand
I just hope I can explain
What it's like to be a man
It's a lonely road
And they don't care 'bout what you know
It's not 'bout how you feel
But what you provide inside that home
Love this mega remix! ❤ Dax is awesome
I found a youtube channel called default lyrics that compiled 2 videos of contestants. Definitely worth checking out. Some of them might be better than the ones that got picked. But kudos to Dax for doing this. Thanks for your reaction.
I Love this Remix! Probably listened to 20 times! The Women were Amazing! Really Loved your reaction! Thanks ❤️ Much Love! #Hangovergang #Dax #What it's Like to be a Man
Get ‘em Dax
As someone married 20yrs, 3 older kids, 10yr veteran tours of Northern Ireland 2001,Iraq 2004,Afghanistan 2008. And only 39yo... my wife is my best friend... but now parting ways but under no bad pretences. My biggest problem is I never talk about certain times in the military and it’s not helped my mental self. But I work hard and just get on with it 🇬🇧
great reaction great song
Like Ecclesiastes says, there's a time for everything under the sun. There's a time to mourn, and a time to hold it together. I think knowing the difference is part of learning to become a man. Sometimes you cry to God alone. But, let it out before it destroys you.
Amen! Thank you😊🙏
I shared this song with my gf and she said she don’t need to hear it, that I’m a man, and she don’t care what I go through, men are to lay their lives down period…
I can’t help but cry Everytime I hear it now
You need to bounce outta that relationship then, she’s shown her truth.
The duties of a man and father, being there as a rolemodel for my son is the only reason i made it through losing my oldest son
I absolutely loved this song, and it is true fr
I honestly loved this so much! So many super talented people!❤
South Africa really showed up in this one❤❤❤
Watching your videos on this helps me stay sober I thank you and I thank Dax
Appreciate you!
5 yrs in July ..you can do it! Build yourself my friend surround yourself w good ppl! I am proud of you!
5:52 this verse was the most impactful to me. Remembered when my sister died back in 2021 I went back to this scripture. Jesus Wept...He knew He was going to raise Lazurus in just a moment, but He still wept, cause He feels our pain and He felt the pain and hurt of Mary and Martha in that moment!
This song finally gave me the strength and courage to open up with my wife
I am wondering, if some of this feeling of being used and neglected stems from the roles that females are taught an early age? Wives, mothers and homemakers. It is expensive, and we aim high. Many of us were led to believe we were getting a prince and a castle. Person's first.
Been watching reaction videos of this song a couple months Fantastic reaction for a POWERFUL Song Thank You for your professional analysis...Great Reaction to Great Song
I could go on for so long about my feelings but I'm really at a point in life I just work and go home and get nowhere but I haven't given up yet .
Crying over a reaction video is a new
😢
The female parts are cool and fits nice in the song. Dax words I don't expect you to understand. Which is true. We don't expect women to understand it all. We as men desire to be respected, especially by women in our lives. Which is why we fear sharing everything, especially with the women in our lives. Which is why we need a group of men we can talk to. We just want women to realize that sometimes we are battling with demons we can't share with them, and all we need is respect and maybe a hug. We feel true or not that we don't have time to take a mental health day because we have kids to provide for and a wife whose respect we want. In a world where so many men are fleeing their responsibility, if you have a man that continues to show up and provide, just understand he has battles. So many choose to end it all as lyrics suggest many mennalready feel dead inside. Let your man know you care and appreciate him. This video doesn't suggest women don't have struggles or that they are aby less than a man's struggles. Just that because of social norms and expectations, we often walk the road alone, afraid to even share the experience with those close to us. We do we fear it because we are expected to be tough, and losing the respect of women in our lives would be worse than the silent struggle.
Song I have got on repeat: Zauntee - Hard Work God First (Live Mic Performance)
I wish women truly understood the experience of men. It’s a battle for real out there. Brothers are taking their lives over it.
Honestly, one of your best reactions I’ve seen.
You are no less a man for seeking someone to talk to; in fact it takes courage to be vulnerable and open up. We fear judgement and the sting of a stigma called weakness. We ALL need help sometimes - I have yet to meet a therapist that shouldn't be seeing a therapist. And, yes, I am one (LMFT, AACC).
Lost my 2 best friends recently. Pretty rough on top of all the other shit. I dont have any one to talk to anymore
For real I cannot watch this video without sending a tear
You should do the songs worth, lately, and highs by dying in designer the first two of these songs are about a relationship and the last one is about a friend of his passing
As a woman with two sons I truly belive that society today has made women that care less and less for men and their wellbeing. I think a large majority of women are taking a range of the sexist court systems to use men as checks for example and punishment for leaving them. Makes me terrified for my sons that no matter how I bring them up if the society around them making the potential spouses to be manipulators and liars as a means to “get the bag” I can’t trust people at face value because people seem to have lost nearly or morality it seems. This is just my perspective as a woman and now with two boys.
As a woman we have to be better about listening and understanding what men say are going through. It’s not weakness to want to be heard and to cry and if any woman says otherwise , Do better mental health matters ❤
BTW, anyone else realize the June is men’s mental health awareness month? No? I didn’t either, and didn’t see anything at all about it. Wonder why men don’t think our struggles are important? Thanks to Dax and the other artists for this.
❤
you are my peace love you and your message!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
My son thought he had a soulmate until her sons stole from him and attacked him with knives when he came home and she sided with them because she always sides with them. He treated them so good too. Their real dad is a druggie and has nothing to do with them.
😮
I swear dawg weh she came on I damn near melted 😢
Girls are born independent & talking shit which needs to be reigned in by their mom... boys are born much less independent & really need the nurturing of a mother until they're ready for their father to toughen them up. It's very important for a mom to be hard on her girls & not let a father be too hard too early bc these woman are crazy these days & our boys are bullied too early...my daughter is 19 in college & my son will graduate high school 2024. Even at 16 he's already working on cars & running heavy equipment with his dad. I still gotta tell her to not be seeking attn & get a damn hobby.
i keep on typing this this song being open verse should become the longest song ever written with the most contributing artists .get the message to jelly roll to add a chapter think of the potential.. and i think if we crown our king this is where elvis's should be passed because he demonstrates the example of a fair leader each of his subjects gets to lead through the openness of his example.. and it comes to us at a time when we have the least support and have to join together and rise up to bring a change to a world that must pull together or were lost .. and were at the biggest disadvantage we've ever had .. but this is the time and that's what we have to do.. so we will. and i'll throw in what makes this song special it's not just speaking on one element.. relationships, addiction, social pressure, emotional obligation, and the desire to persevere..
I love this song, I can relate to some of it of course. Luckily my wife an I have an awesome relationship, one I've never had before . Her kids and our daughter get to see us love each other everyday.
I still struggle in some ways like all men do but listening to this and your commentary gives me some good ideas of how to be better than Iam now.
Can you do this song as it is very deep for many women out here today? It's by Paris Paloma called "LABOUR". The intense vocals paired with very deep emotional lyrics with a simple, yet meaningful and amazing video has a lot A LOT to deconstruct and talk about... I think it is great source material for Reaction Therapy and it has blown up lately....
Thanks so much amber!😊👍
18:58
I walked 15 months from marriage, most therapy, I have this helps me!
Here for the yeah and the yeps lol
Love your reactions
I’m trying to get my wife to listen to this song right now
Bracelet yet again so much 2nd 🎉in it job😂is a very important thing today so I'll
Im known as the nonreligious one in the family and I agree with them.. But verse 2, Jesus it broke me in 2..i understood in that moment all the sacrifices my father had to make for us, ive never called him ao fast, ever. Like I did after hearing that, i apologized for ever being a lil s**t, for ever being a not so good daughter and I sent him this Remix, (dad REALLY DISLIKES RAP) but he called me half hour later crying, he said finally a female willing to see through a mans eyes..
How do people contact you as a therapist. I love your videos
Of course, my favorite is the last one
I want to leave a comment but everytime I try my emotions rip my soul out I'm sorry I know I've something to say this valuable but
You should do broski by joyner that's 🔥
The amount of men turning to God while they struggle is heartwarming! We are gonna be ok!
Who’s the second guy?
Ben Becker: @BenBeckerMusic
It doesnt work that way i have been left numerous times because i got comfortable and opened up then its like bye !!!
They don't see it all they see is a bankroll
So, how do you start? I lost my lower leg after losing everything from covid. I always question my worth and dream about getting laid off constantly. I have told my wife prior to the surgery how anxiety driven my days were becoming, I could see or maybe just feel the wow you’re being a baby, kinda reaction. So, nothing comes out now…it gets overwhelming
The last guy said more, but you were doing your yep yep yep we couldn’t hear. Try not to talk and yep during song.
Completely and Utterly Off-Topic: I really wish you mental health care professionals would stop putting 10' tall fake plastic trees in your office lobbies. I'm schizophrenic and those trees feel like they are just waiting for me to look away so they can choke me out. 3' tall plants with broad leaves are fine. Just, please, stop with the creeping branch-looking Gandalf/LotR trees in the office.
There's an irony in my comment, Tom, but you talk too much. I left after the second verse. Love the song though Dax.
Dax has to be the corniest artist on the planet next to NF.
You're an 1diot
Get outta here man. Dax is amazing.
@@tylerlindimore6423 If you're a goofy like this guy.
Great reactions, liked and subscribed.
Great stuff.
Yes men should never just show people the pain as most people in this world are fake know who you can talk to teach my sons this
