Gotdamn. I'm not a junior but I lost my pop in 2019 at 40 (me being 40) and to say that it is a profound experience in innumerable ways is the understatement of the century. I'm sorry for your loss.

Just a grown man, crying, listening to this song on loop...

I'm not his son, but I should have been. I lost my father to suicide, and this song brings tears to my eyes.

I always admired my old man, he made my life difficult but I now know that he just wanted me to be a better version of himself. He wanted me to have a better life than himself which was made impossible because I only wanted to be just like him. We lost him to cancer at 62 years old, I was barely 30. It's almost been a year, and one hell of a rough one. But goddamn I am my father's son 💜

Makes me smile knowing someday I will be able to say I discovered this man’s music before he became a super star.

Same here man. I was watchin him 3 years ago when noone had heard of him. My.son introduced him to me. And 1994, billy, the devil was the beginning of the journey. But dude is outta this world. One of the best albums ive ever heard, and his acoustic versions are as good if not better than the studio versions.

This dude makes real country music. This is rare. Protect this man.

the craftsmanship is 'can't be better'

I fought for years competitively sharing the love of the sport of boxing with my father. He was in the Golden Gloves and fought in the pan American games. He died in 2019. I ran his construction business for a few years and then switched my career. I have no regrets. I love you dad. I hope you are proud of me!

I lost my father less than a year ago and im named after him making me a Junior also and this song literally stopped me in my tracks. For 46 years until he passed I always felt like I lived in his shadow but this song made me embrace the fact we are the same and to be proud of that. I wished my dad lived long enough to hear this song so he could have understood how I felt. Thank you Stephen Wilson Jr.

try mediterainian diet and a type of Magnesium called L-Threonate,i am sure that you will get your dad back then.

SW,jr is the greatest new singer, songwriter to come along in a generation. SoD is a classic.

This song is savagely strong and raw. Strong....STRONG SONG! 💪 THANK YOU...FOR WRITING THIS!!

Thank you for writing an amazing song. I am my father's daughter no doubt. I unfortunately found him forever asleep in 2017. I'm having a hard time with it now more then back when it happened. Thank you for amazing music to help cope❤❤

Lost my dad almost 2 years ago, thank you for such a heartfelt, beautiful song.

God damnit, might be the first time I’ve ever cried during a song. Incredible

My father failed me hard…and I still feel this song in my bones. I am now a father of 5 with one amazing woman…and my wife and children are everything.

We are the lucky ones to have those great memories. To ALL of our Fathers that have left this earth RIP...

THIS guy. There is no voice like it out there. But the music too. Like Daniel Lanois and Springsteen had a baby... Just too damn good. His shorter songs are the best. Some longer ones lose their way a little. But this guy has got it. And his video for The Devil - just astounding.

This song hits so hard. Life long fan you got here

I hope my sons hear this one day and think of me. My father is nobody to admire and have never been able to look up to him. I wouldn't have had it any other way because I'm proud of who I am. Anyway, incredible song and musician this song should be on every station in America

This guy is about to go big!

Lost my dad in 2011 and thankfully have many videos as a record. Lost my mom in 1983, when I was 8. I used to have 8 tracks of her playing guitar and us singing and talking, and even arguing with each other. I have no memory of what her voice sounds like. I wish I still had those 8 tracks.

This is a great song. It's such a wonderful tribute to your dad.

Had me a tearful moment last night during this song at your gig in Belfast last night... was with my big son of whom I'm very proud - thanks for that! 2 fans for life here, Stephen Wilson jr.

Ever since I found this song on Apple, I’ve been playing all your music non stop. Love them!

This song is Legendary. I love everything about it

I heard this live in Manchester last night and it's the first time in my life that I've felt like I was in a trance. I'm not a cryer but this had me in tears thinking about my own dad. Beautiful song and amazing singer.

Man I heard the first few chords of this song and was hooked. I have all his songs on my playlist now.

Phenomenal talent. Potentially a once in a Generation kinda talent!

Just stunning, powerful and beautiful. Dad would be so proud.

You nailed this I only knew my dad for 7 years and he died. I am just like him even though he's been gone for 35 years. The good and the bad lol

This man is so talented my father just passed last month, sir thank you for this amazing work of art.

A tear is flowing. Hit me hard. Props to you

Stephen Wilson Jr., your father has to be so proud of you. This song is a masterpiece.

Just saw this guy live supporting Cadillac three, absolutely incredible! Amazing singer and guitarist.

Amen. Another Junior here.....song hits home. Thank you.

Been a fan since my wife and I met and had a nice chat with you in Jefferson City a couple years ago. Proud to see you're continued success.

Powerful video. It does your song justice. Love the necklace at the end, “HANGING THERE”

Thank you.

My God man.... wow. Like a brick wall right to the gut.

Lost my dad in 1982 when I was 21. Miss him every day. Thanks for the song…means a lot; brings back good memories. You have your dad’s necklace. I’ve my dad’s WWII dog tags and Army division ring.

This hits home in a few different ways for me as both the father and the son.

Both my parents are still alive. I’m seeing them at 6:30 tonight. I’m going to give them both a hug when I see um, because I listened to this song, and just because they’re alive.

My names stephen,lost my dad when I was 12 or 13 miss him everyday and I came across this right here for a reason. Good shit hod damn I am my father's son. Real country tunes 🤘🤙

I have tears in my eyes, 42 years old. Love you Dad

God bless you!!! Stephen Wilson JR ❤ God loves you so much 😊

Stephen, I saw you in Cardiff on Thursday night and you did two things: stole the show and broke my heart with this song... I look forward to seeing you on your return later this year!

Every bones tethered...to every son that was raised by a Father from the Greatest Generation who thought they'd never measure up!

lost my dad January 2nd found this song.... things are meant to happen

Im not named after my father but i followed in his footsteps. Somewhere along the way he lost his battle with depression and the abuse he put himself through took its toll. I've lost my father while hes still alive and the example he set for me has faded for himself however i will never waiver... We dont talk, and he holds a grudge for no good reason... Regardless i rise above because i remember the man my father once was... I am my fathers son🙏🏻

Another amazing song by such an incredible and talented human being. No artist in the last ten years has hit me in the heart like you💜. Hope to see ya soon at a couple of shows.

I’ve listened to countless songs in countless genres and never shed a tear, until I came upon this man. And not only has he written one song to put a tear to my eye but multiple that has me balling my eyes out every time I listen. If you’ve found this guy, then you’ve found a treasure. If he don’t blow up and become famous as hell for his lyrical genius then there’s definitely something wrong with this world. His lyrics destroy any walls I have built to keep me safe from falling apart.

Welp, I love this guys music. 👏 👏 👏

Thank you Steven.

I'm never going to quit begging for an Evansville, IN. Show 🤣❤

I listen to your music often. But i really needed this song today

One of the best songs I've ever heard. Didn't meet my biological father until I was 32 but now that I have a son of my own this song really hits home. Thank you.

Man. That song and that performance are something else. Pure greatness.

Oh my God, I absolutely love this to bits, I've played it to death so I could bring myself back to life! Absolute respect Brother! Keep it real and true! God bless! ❤️🔥🙏🔥❤️

Excellent, unique picker poet

Beautiful. Thanks ❤

I was walking threw the shop and big John says check this guy out and know that’s what plays in my stall🤘🏻

Stephen writes music that can paint vivid images in your brain. Amazing talent.

Wow....This is the expression of so many words that were unspoken. Thank you

Absolutely love his hat

I have the same name as my father as well. All your songs are fantastic. Lyrical genius

Just watched your video ( fathers son ) on CMT. I can’t believe I don’t hear you every time I listen to the radio. Incredible talent. Keep up the good work.

Everyday that goes by I become a bigger Stephen Wilson Jr fan 😁

Damn ! Just... damn.

It's beautiful, it reminds me of Rationale..

Feckimg love ity brother on his death bed two days ago and by the grace of God he's back then heard this song I was praying to drain his blood and give him Christ's blood unbelievable God bless everyone 🙏 💔 😢

Your Dad put Jr in your name cause he knew you were your father's son!!! The same reason My son has 2nd at the end of his name Cause your both your father's son's So to the greatest son's in the world salute ❤❤❤

Thanks for writing this.

this has multiple meanings, fighting against God as well then realizing none's better...deep

This is one of best songs I’ve heard in a very long time. From any artist in any genre. I’ve been hooked since I saw you in Newport, RI. Killer song which I know has deep meaning for you, but it speaks to so many. Such a great tune!

Gawd dayam just hit me right in the feels. Just sent this to my old man.

Love all the boxing visuals and what a great song and music video. Had no idea you were a golden gloves finalist, so much respect for this man as an artist!

The tree don't grow far from the apple... chills!

Beautiful.

Now that's a song! and the performance is awesome!

This song is so special. I feel every bit of the pain you felt & and are feeling as life goes on. As you know I lost my Dad a few years ago as well. A day doesn’t pass by where I don’t think of him and feel his guidance. This is a heartbreaker of a song that I will revisit in my moments of reflection. Thank you SWJR. Loved the end of the video as well. Hang in there ❤ your UK OG

Pure talent and emotion, I love it brother!

Beautiful album sir. I’m a lotta bit obsessed

i love country songs god bless america

this is the best song i have ever heard

Ah man, you got me bawling over here.
