HARDY found a legit great niche with this new half-rock album. A TON of country fans want this sound, and rock fans are enjoying the crossover too. Brantley Gilbert has been my favorite country artist for like 10 years but, every album has gotten more and more pop-focused. Thank God HARDY is bringing the juice!
The symbolism behind this song is genius, and is so very well written. I've never really listened to Hardy, and this song has become one of my favorites overnight. I've always been a rocker, from classic to metal, but some country is kind of growing on me. I can get behind this, it's almost like a whole new genre. And he does it so seamlessly and effortlessly. Starting with how he grew up and got into the music industry, writing hit songs for other popular artists, but never has been able to have his own voice or style. He was a mockingbird, writing others songs. But he finally got a microphone, and he will not conform, even if that makes him unpopular. I have a newfound respect for this man as a musician and an artist. Not to mention, that claymation is badass. I look forward to discovering more of his music. Rock on!
Singing about our hometown of Philadelphia, MS made me cry. You are a true Mississippi Mockingbird. Congratulations on all your success! Very well deserved!
@hardy7310 You are most welcome. I can't wait to see what other songs you will be coming out with in the future. P.s. my favorite song is Wait in the truck.
@@evonnewhalen9794Please ignore the other person, they are a bot. They’ve been repeating the same phrase throughout this channel, it is not Hardy. People usually won’t ask you to use Google chat. I’m sorry, but just ignore them.
HARDY writes stories. Every song is a story and every video is a movie. Pure talent that for years was hidden behind other Nashville artist finally we get to see it for ourselves.
This is sick. This is a music video that's never been done before. Thats what i love about this guy, he dont give a sht what people think of him and he doesnt copy other artist, he does his own thing. I love it.
3 Little Pigs by Green Jelly and Stay Away by Alice in Chains come to mind. Probably his inspiration for the music video. But it is a sick song and video. Hardy is one of a kind!
Idk man this dudes kinda like kid rock if you ask me. Just does his own thing and makes the music he wants to. This music video is pretty badass but there’s a few rock music videos like this out there.
I hated country music growing up. I was definitely the biggest metal head back in high school. This is my gateway to listen to country music religiously. Thank you Hardy.
I'm a huge metalhead but ive been listening to this album religiously the past week. My first introduction to Hardy was when he appeared in Bilmuri's song Corn-Fet Yetis and i had to listen to his solo stuff. This album is simply a breath of fresh air to both the country and rock worlds
As a musician who never made it work I love this jam right here. I relate to this so much! I've been in metal bands, punk bands, heck I even did hip hop back years ago... I always go back to my country roots. I was born and raised in Galax Virginia and Hardy you got a fan in me brother.
I love this song. HARDY is easily top 3 country singers of the past few years. The songs HARDY writes are all amazing. I love all your music, you are fuckin amazing.
This is fkin AWESOME MAN! Country to ROCK flawless and unexpectedly! Never heard anything like this! When I found your 'Blurry' cover, I knew you were an amazing rock singer, but this is another monster altogether! Much love from Coila, Mississippi! 🐦⬛
Thank you so much for following & supporting my son music, I hope you will not stop listening steaming to his music Seriously, you are appreciated. Do you listen with Apple Music or Spotify? Let me know if possible you got my reply on your comment.
It's giving me Green Jelly Three Little Pigs vibes 👌 Absolutely what country needs right now. Hardy is breathing new life into an otherwise tired genre.
the only green jelly vibe this gives you is the three little pigs video cuz its claymation. this music is way not that.why dont you add rudolph and the california RAISIns?
A Northeast Mississippi Born & raised 62 year old man here Hardy & Congrats 👏 👍 on making us Mississippi people proud 👏. This Video is 🔥 I love ❤️ it man Amazing 👏 💙 🔥
Beautiful song and beautiful video !! So much appreciate for an artist going 'outside of the box' and doing a claymation video! So original and well-done~
Awesome song and video!! Love Love Love. The claymation reminds me of Davey and Goliath, that I watched on tv when I was little.. I appreciate all your music. Thankyou Hardy ❤❤❤❤❤
@@evacody1249 Not quite the same. Country metal is a largely untapped genre. Other than things like rebel meets rebel, which was a one off thing, not much country metal is out there, unless you know some artists I don't, which I'll gladly take recommendations for.
You’re changing not just country, but MUSIC man…please keep it up. Literally you’re biggest fan. Can’t wait to see you and the boys (and Lainey) sweep the acm’s, and see your continued rise to what we all know is gonna be MASSIVE global superstardom. Thanks and stay you bro.
Hardy, you truly bring us the best of what old country was in the present. I love your voice so much. You are one talented man. Can't wait for you to make your way to Arizona. My 14 year old son and I are huge fans. Congratulations on the new drop!
Thank you so much for following & supporting my son music, I hope you will not stop listening steaming to his music Seriously, you are appreciated. Do you listen with Apple Music or Spotify? Let me know if possible you got my reply on your comment.
@Hardy me and my son are addicted we listen on Spotify and daily on UA-cam. I can't wait till I'm hearing Hardy every day on the radio. I know its coming.
@Luke Combs I wish, I have not been to either of your concerts. Come to Phoenix please, and hopefully I can afford to go. The life of a single widowed mom doesn't allow me much excitement, but I live a happy life with all these amazing songs driving me.
Hardy almost had me turning back to country until I remembered it has been pop since Taylor hammered that last nail to real country. Awesome song that pulls on country's roots that old school would be proud of, being a rebel.
I’m loving everything about this song. The theme, the imagery in the lyrics, the contrast between melodic and heavy, it’s just such a kick ass tune! I have been getting into Hardy’s music more and more recently and seeing this heavier side of him is amazing! 🤘
Hardy, man don’t ever change up💯this song and video right here have such a deeper meaning than most realize! Shoutout from the 601🫡the depth this song reaches with what’s goin on around us shows you were born to be a legend bro🤘🏻
Thank you for your beautiful words! I'm thrilled to hear my sound resonates with you so deeply. Your passion and connection mean everything to me - keep listening and feeling!🎵🎵🌸🌺
Hardy man outta all the damn good bad ass songs you’ve sung bubba this one is my favorite by far when you snap and start rocking I love it I’ve had it on repeat the past few days keep doing your thing man I’m loving it
🤘🏻🤓🤘🏻 This is amazing! I've had this song stuck in my head for days lol so this was perfect timing bc I was already thinking about it 😍 🎶🎸 🎶🎸 I love the 2 wings together BTW
I’m just another fan commenting on how bad ass this video and song is. This is a step up from anything I’ve ever heard in country music. Just incredible Michael Hardy!
I get a sense of nostalgia from this sound! Hearing this takes me back to 2000-2003'ish; TRL Rock/NuMetal scene (before it remotely even sounded "Metal") Touché Mr. HARDY! THANK YOU and the folks behind the scenes for all that's done in getting the best and most complete musical composition to all of our hillbilly, shhhh'- kickin', chaw-chuckin, flanel-flyin', coal-rollin', redneck earholes; all down here representing the Dirty Dirty! Hope you and the boys kill all over again this year and BETTER be hearing this record back down here at, Rock The South's 2023 Main Stage!!! See yall there fam! I'll be the guy with your dumb face on my shirt. You wont miss me!!
This music is actually genius and the lyrics match right up with the reference of himself in the them and the music itself. It’s something that hasn’t been done in along time and it was made uniquely nice song.
Thank you Hardy and team for trusting me - rock n roll🤘
outstanding job
Hell of a job!!
Trippy video , felt very 90s rock video..
Nice job !
Amazing work!! Hope you win music video of the year….haven’t seen anything this cool in years!!
The video is fuckin badass🤟🏼👌🏼

I’m not really a country fan. Grew up hunting and fishing with a hard rock/metal soundtrack. I love this album. This is what country music needed.
Yeah a ton of country fans 100% want these people to name drop Walmart and Jack Daniels so true!
@@yaboithegod5007 : LOL - good one!
Right!!!!!!!!
dudes voice is dynamic for it, somber enough to do low and slow, and coarse enough to go rock with out too much effort.
Man, that switch from major to minor is everything. What a fucking song.
I came here to say THISSS!
america*z at its best..peece& peace to yo mums
Its not even that its just the fucking country to rock is so damn sick
Hardy is now the most metal guy in country!!
Besides Gideon lol. But that's metal.
@@brendanwiggin3327Gideon are the most country guys in metal haha
Damn I didn’t see this coming. I’ve always liked country music and loved rock and metal. I’m 56 and this shit rocks!!!!
Yeah agree just 43 but yeah .. this is a good one !!!

Well stated, brother 🤘🏻

All the way in Biloxi and this guy hit it straight into the stratosphere.
This song rocks! It's the perfect mix of my 2 favorite genres.
Hello I'm glad you are one of my lovely fan, how can I reach out to you?
This dudes got some serious chops for rock music. I’d love to hear a full on rock album from him 🤘🏻
Second half of his double album..“the crow” half. pretty much all rock! Check it out. It’s awesome
I love that album too
"For a rock musician"
Does that really seem odd to you?
There are so many rock musicians with serious chops I couldn't name all the ones I've heard.
Very catchy. From 2 mins I get real nostalgic Puddle Of Mudd vibes. Memories of riding my bike through the forest with my pals. Love this.
Yesss. Definitely.
YES!!!!! I couldn’t put my finger on what he reminds me of but that’s it. Good call!
I stumbled onto Hardy's music a couple of weeks ago, and I have been hooked since then. His music has been a breath of fresh air for me.
@hardy7310 You are most welcome. I can't wait to see what other songs you will be coming out with in the future. P.s. my favorite song is Wait in the truck.

I mean this is his music video so technically this storyline hasnt been done. Claymation is cool tho
Idk man this dudes kinda like kid rock if you ask me. Just does his own thing and makes the music he wants to. This music video is pretty badass but there’s a few rock music videos like this out there.
Sober by tool was same styleish
Wtf. Is this the first music video you've ever seen? Don't word a guess as a confident fact when you know you have no idea what you're talking about.
Dude this reminds me of 90s music videos. Like I really appreciate HARDY as an artist
The claymation is absolutely great, already had heard the song and this was a great surprise.
I know I love the claymation
Never has a song/music video caused my draw to actually drop. This one did it. Goosebumps man.
Best song and video I've witnessed in 45 years
Man this is your best music yet. I’m a new listener and this brings me back to 2000’ era absolute killer rock music.
Mississippi is MORE than PROUD.... I love this man! ❤❤❤❤❤
Can we just appreciate how this guy *country* does this.
I've listened to this song so many times but I still get goosebumps
WOW just WOW these lyrics are to deep for country....... I'm like that other fellow, I can't stop listening to this guy....
This is BADASS. Hardy, killin it per usual. This guy can do no wrong. 👏🏼👏🏼🔥
Hello I'm glad you are one of my lovely fan, how can I reach out to you?
I hated country music growing up. I was definitely the biggest metal head back in high school. This is my gateway to listen to country music religiously. Thank you Hardy.
Hardy is the future of music. He doesn't give a fuck what he's labeled as. He does his shit his way.
Dude I'm 58 just recently found your music and this is awesome. Don't let the mainstream change you 👍🇺🇸
Yeah I'm 60 and I love it!👍❤️🎵
😂😂😂 He literally is mainstream..... don't be fooled.
God bless America!
I'm a huge metalhead but ive been listening to this album religiously the past week. My first introduction to Hardy was when he appeared in Bilmuri's song Corn-Fet Yetis and i had to listen to his solo stuff. This album is simply a breath of fresh air to both the country and rock worlds

Story telling is what is missing from music today, keep bringing it back and you will go further than the rest.
#AUTHENIC ##BADASS #LOVE YOU HARDY🎶🎶🎶
Omg . My dad sent me this yesterday . ABSOLUTELY INCREDIBLE. Almost brought a tear to my eye . Jesus ❤

Hello I'm glad you are one of my lovely fan, how can I reach out to you?
I love how Hardy is so creative 🤠 love his style of music and creativity never gets old ❤️ this music video was bad ass
The last half captured practically all the rock songs from my 90s to early 2000s and punched me right in the feels with them. That was great.
The video is INCREDIBLE. Kudos to the artists who created it and congrats on the album drop, HARDY! 🤘🔥

Great song. Best mix of country/metal singer I've ever seen. You got some sick skills kid!
Metal music already has a country genre, though its called Folk Metal.

I love singing to this
