Still "Waiting in the Truck"

That stranger had to have lost his mother, sister, someone he loved to domestic violence. He didn't know this woman but instantly decided the only way she could be free as if the bastard was dead. Their voices were simply perfect.

He did. It’s a true story about a friend of Hardy’s that did 15-20 years for the crime. He grew up in an abusive home where I think it was his step dad beat his mom and eventually killed her. He definitely saw his mom in that rainy night and saw the man that beat her in that trailer. PS: The guy it’s about is now married to the girl and they have kids together and everything

@joeymosteller6787 no it's not a true story. That is just a myth that has been circling the internet. There is a video here on KZread about the making of the video. Hardy does not state it about being about anyone he knows.

I'm telling yall!! This song should be turned into a movie with both of them in it!! ITS ALLLL JUST AMAZING!!!!!

OMG! This song came on and literally stopped me dead in my tracks! By the time it was over I was bawling like a baby! I'm holding back the tears while writing this and it's been 24 hours. I love this song on every level. I was that girl 40 years ago. Thank you...

You can usually tell who the women are that have lived that women's story when they react to this song. You can also see it in the faces of men who grew up in violent and abusive households who saw their mothers and sisters get beaten and abused. Many of the later wish they had done what that guy did because the abuse didn't stop until they either died or left. Maybe that guy didn't intend to kill that abusive man and only wanted to pistol-whip the crap out of him until he was well and truly broken and only shot him when he went for the shotgun... or maybe he did exactly what he planned to do. That's one of those questions that only him and God know the answer to.

Take care, and God Bless, sweetheart.

This hits very close to home. My brother is on trial right now and I pray for mercy for him. The only peace I have is knowing that my niece is alive and her abuser was sent to the same place Hardy sent the guy in this song. My prayers go out to anyone that is in this situation.

Greatest song writer, poet, storyteller in country music. Guy is a genius.

I loved that he smoked the other guys cigarettes while he was waiting on the cops.

This song gives me such 80/90s country music vibes reminded me of thunder rolls and the night the lights went out in Georgia. Also we need to get you in to some Lainey Wilson she’s gonna be the next big country artist and Hardy’s songwriting is just so phenomenal.

Hardys actually been writing music for years but he just now started performing himself. He has tons of song you wouldn't realize are his.

as far as the cinematic impact of this video, it has to rank right up there with Chris Stapleton's "Fire away".

No one picks up on the truck itself. The truck she drives away is the truck he drove in the beginning. She's waiting in the truck still

I have watched literally hundreds of reaction videos. Your reaction to this song is one of the best I've seen.

Dude, I got chills at exactly the same moment, and I've watched this video many, many times already. Just shows how a great piece of music can affect us

This song is EPIC.I love it

Hardy is a poet "the tear on her blood stained shirt" "I dropped the hammer before he got the 12 he was reacting for" HAVE MERCY ON ME🎸🔥💖

That's the same reaction I had. Totally blown away!! Hardy is Amazing.

Hardy came from Philadelphia, MS. and he is an amazing songwriter and entertainer. He is definitely Country as Hell. He is an awesome talent; if you can: go see this man play. You won't be disappointed !!!

Love this reaction! What a great song, message and story.

Hardy’s cover of Blurry is the next one you need to react to! 🙏🏻 A Rock is another incredible storyteller songwriter song of his that he has written that you would really like. He’s an incredible storyteller. It’s why everyone in country music wants to work with. He’s the best songwriter in the game. He’s so well respected in the country music community by fans and most importantly his peers. I love him so so much and I’m so proud of him for what he has accomplished especially here recently. The recognition he is finally getting is so deserved.

I love HARDY and this song I actively look for reactions to this one...great job

Great suggestion, Melanie ! I absolutely love this song, so I'm commenting early. But, I already know it'll be a great reaction. Keep up the great work, Anton!!

I never thought my day of justice would come from a judge a under a seat as in a Taurus Judge which is what he put ol son down with. Thought that was worth sharing.

NF Story is another great example of storytelling song & video working together

Huge Nate fan but country story telling is so much different.

I agree with everything you just said. I had the very same reaction. I’m not really a country fan, but I found this song last week and I’ve seen the video over 30 times. It is a masterpiece from all angles.

Absolutely love this song!!!!!! ❤️ Great collab

HARDY just dropped a banger rock song - JACK 🤘🏼💀🎸🔥

when she says "Thank you" gets me every time

I loved your attention to the video, the story, the song. This wasn't about YOU, as many of the reaction channels I see. I'm impressed at your respect for the genre, the fact that you found yourself 'speechless." It's a strong story about the gray area between 'right' and 'wrong.' Thanks for your intelligent, caring reaction. I have subscribed.

Love your reaction ❤

Just WOW! No words, excellent on all levels. So much realty here going on.

Folks mostly react to the story, but the actual production is also worthy of mention. Extremely effective story presentation.

Anton I feel the same way. Completely speechless about this one...I really don't know what to say this time. I'm not sure if I should feel sad because he basically saved her life from that abusive guy, or scared because now he's gonna be known as a murderer for the rest of his life eve though he saved her...wow, very powerful 😢

Best reaction for this song I've seen. Wise move not stop such a "heavy" song so much. Gotta sub now! :D Not many reactors get it. It's been a minute since I've heard such great story telling.

I love your reactions! This is an epic example!

Hardy is best song writer in nashville. 100%

Man you’ve gotta check out Hardy’s three new songs that just dropped. Truck Bed, Here Lies Country Music, and the awesome The Mockingbird and the Crow, my favorite. He’s an A M A Z I N G songwriter. ♥️♥️

I felt the same. DV survivor. Chills.

I agree. Had me from the first chord. Wow...just wow!

And the way she describes the gun as "the judge under the seat" is just the I sing on the cake

May I add and maybe I'm putting to much into this so if I am forgive me.. But I noticed some very compelling things no one has caught. 1st she IS driving his truck ANOTHER MEANING TO "wait in the truck" IS fulfilled because he tells you she's been coming to see him for 5 years.IN HIS TRUCK! I believe she's waiting for him because she knows he's a good man. "On occasion" could possible mean the once or twice a week visitation allowed by the prison. 2) Look at the scenes of them walking away from each other. She is headed into the light/life while he is headed to a darkened cell. The hem of her jeans could be a symbol of freedom also, see how they kind of look like wings flapping but his are in chains...she is free completely free no abuser no harm on the other hand he is "a prisoner"(written on his back by the way) and has no freedom. He exchanged his freedom for her to escape her prison. Is he keeping a diary of their visits? Maybe. just my 2 cents.

My heart stopped when i listened to this song the first time....my Mrs in Europe (Im in Australia) went thru this with her ex-hubby and the only thing that would ever stop me from moving to be with her is me finding him and ending his life if I ever saw him for things he did to her..........

got a award for it too

This is great story telling for sure. As you said, I too agree that country typically carries more story telling than most other genres, but they do all have them. Metallica comes to mind with songs like “One” and “Master of Puppets” where the videos helped tell the story. Old school rap was a lot about story telling and groups like Outcast and Eminem were great at it.

Bless you! This was heartbreaking and superb at the same time! 😢 and ❤

she is in his truck at the end. They need to make a part 2 of this song where he get out and they have a love story

Such a good song

That truck. Her safe place.😭

It's a powerful 🎵 song and Message. Especially for us that actually went through same experience as her.

Even if you've never heard a country song, there's one out there that will have some of your story in it, even if you don't hear it.

WOW didnt think hardy could be so deep

Gotta react to HARDY - BLURRY 🔥🤘🏼

Great review.... she would make a great Rogue for Xmen.. love that accent .

Have you done Chris Stapleton/ fire away.... if not I strongly recommend it 👌

Fuck I love outlaw country

The lights went out in Georgia by Reba is like this you will like it. FANCY by Reba Mcntire as well

I worked the streets as a LEO for a few years and did many years with State DOC (retiring 8yrs ago) now that I am not restrained by a badge I see things a tad differently. When the system, when society fails to protect those weakest among us it is left to rough men standing outside the rule of law to do what is necessary to preserve the peace, protect the innocent, and return civility. Some call this "vigilante justice" but for some the vigilante is the only hope to obtain justice.

Hardy’s putting out a half rock half country album

Wow, is right !! Chills... Great reaction, too.

The judge is a 44 cal pistol.

First time I heard this song I was driving on the freeway and had to pull over cause I couldn't see from crying so hard. He traded his life for hers. when he pulls up(a free man) she was in her own Prison from being abused. at the end when you see her walking away feet free of shackles and him in shackles it shows the exchange of his life for hers. and she also drives away in his truck free just like he drove in a free person in the beginning. After he pulls the trigger it cuts to her in the truck breathing a sigh of relief.

Check out Hardy in "Give heaven Some Hell". You might cry because it's what you would hope for .

Hardy released a new single yesterday (friday) called "Jack". super rock song to answer your question about being pulled in to a music video this much, I will make a wild comparison, Hardy and NF. I will say NF "Story"

Wow!

What somethin' thats really Unik. Checknout live Stevie Ray Vaughan live at El Macimbo Texas Flood. Mind Blower. The other song is live at the Festival 3rd Stone from the Sun. ❤❤

There is a video of behind the scenes as well if you're interested. Peace!

Do I hear a little Dolly Parton in the "have mercy on me" chorus?

Excellent reaction. I really appreciate your thoughtful commentary. I don't know if you've reacted to "Believe" by Brooks & Dunn, but it's another incredibly powerful song, with a video that's just as strong. Ditto for "Whiskey Lullaby" by Brad Paisley, and "The Little Girl" by John Michael Montgomery. Again, great reaction. I just subscribed.

Respect from England 🇬🇧 ✌️

And a Ton of us know what she's she's going through and more!! Try Kenny Rogers...Coward of the County!! Great song & He's fantastic!!

Toby Kieth's "Bullets in the Gun" video will hit you the same way.

Love it!

What hurts the most by Rascal Flatts is on par with this. You need to watch it. It’s heart wrenching.

I really like this song. Being in a job where words have meaning I take things very literally. Like "judge under the seat." There is a gun... bad a** called the "judge." The video didn't have it .. :( then when he sang pulled the hammer before he got to..... the video showed he ran after him.... I was expecting the shot n9t that. But it was good!

Great reaction. This is first reaction I have seen of yours. Good you please react to anything by Home Free.

To add to the other comments... he was not bad man, he was not an evil man... he was a man who saw a need, saw an evil and acted on that need and evil. He was a man of faith (evidenced by the court scene bridge (Oh Lord have mercy on me was not asked to the court system... it was a plea to God) and visibly evidenced by the cross hanging on his rear view mirror... was his action legal, obviously not based on the trial, was it morally just.... that is up to each individual for you cannot legislate morality... but for every victim of DV, he would be an answered prayer... and for every man... the story forces the question... "what would I do?"

At the end she was still waiting in his truck.

LISTEN TO THE CROW

I maybe wrong but the orange jumpsuit means he’s awaiting sentencing or a new trial

Better than any movie on t.v
