    Blending the almost pop punk guitar riff with these lyrics is complete musical genius! His music is so unique and catchy.

    This is the best song/video I've ever heard, I've been to over 300 concerts in my life I love all kinds of music but this is heavy and very deep, the video is so on point with the music, Emmy Grammy or whatever award, but very deserving,

    A perfect capture of 90's nostalgia. Such a great way to show homage to one of the best music videos of the 90's. I hope Billy Corgan is proud. Great time to be raised on MTV.

    It’s 2 in the morning. I discovered this guy a couple of hours ago on an episode of Fire Country. Went down the rabbit hole and got here. Now I’m certain he sold his soul at The Crossroads. This performance comes from somewhere else. 😮

    Wish more modern country sang about issues like this. Mainstream Country used to be about exploring tough issues, but hasnt been for the past 20 or so years. I want the genre to go back to its roots of truly being about the everyman experience, including the dark and uncomfortable truths.

    This song is special to me because of the relationship I thankfully have with my Dad. Who always is weighing on the side of caution, care, and not being in a hurry to get where we are going. Taking it easy ! That is the guidance and love a Father can provide. Men like that command honor and our respect. Big thanks to all the Dad's that can be that Man ! Thank you Stephan for writing this beautiful song about your Dad and sharing it ! I saw you in concert in Milwaukee at the Rave this Spring. What a great set with the Brothers Osborne ! Best wishes with you're Music !
