I always say that anyone can be good for a little while. We fall for the good, believing it is a lifestyle and are always surprised to find out how very wrong we can be.
I’m glad you didn’t edit it. There’s no shame. I had the same reaction. Everyone wants that deep reaction to love and how quickly it turns. They are magical for taking us thru the emotions.
Thank you for reacting! Strong message, It was easy to get how u didn’t see it, just like the women & men who see the kindness that these abusers put out at the beginning until the real evil comes out of them… I lived it.. get out tell someone it’s not easy but I believe in you!!! You & your children deserve it! Much strength & love to all of you in this horrible position. God Bless✌🏻🤍🙏
She wrote it like that for your exact reaction. Everyone had it the first time they listened. She’s saying that an exciting and electric love can flip so quickly. And the signs of an electrifying love can sometimes be the signs for something so much darker.
Don’t be ashamed because I thought the same thing about the beginning the first time I heard it. I think we’re all supposed to have felt that because that’s how men like that are. Perfect and then...worse than animals!
Thank you for sharing and giving such a honest and caring reaction. But that's exactly how the relationship is, you're caught up in the good in the beginning and before you know it, it's turned into domestic violence.
Jennifer Nettles has a album she wrote while going thru a divorce from a bad, violent and unfaithful marriage. You have reacted to Stay already but she wrote that from the perspective of being the other woman in love with a man who is married. Stay shows her completely emotional and she had to stop and re record, stop and try again so many times it got to a point where Kristian Bush, the guy with her in Sugarland, said that's it just use what you have bc it was killing him watching her breakdown time and time again. Her solo album with the domestic violence & healing based songs is one that is a grand slam outta the park its so amazing in so many ways. I love, love, LOVE me some Jennifer Nettles.
That’s the point and she wrote a song that made you feel this woman’s journey and trauma. When will radio and the world get that Brandy is this powerful and she got it from being inspired by Gretchen peters who wrote Martina McBride’s songs you all love. Brandy has written for most artist charting for over 15 years and ignored for it. She’s so sarcastic and fun with serious things too. A real songwriter and Jennifer is too.
Billy Truthfully you probably don't know this but everything you said in the video is exactly what it's like to be someone in that situation. it's exactly what went through my head a million times! starting with your open mouth shock going. To "wow what did miss? i thought we were falling in love" and " there were so many signs i feel dumb" also in the video you said this is real. you honestly don't know how a right you are! By the way I was one of the lucky ones but it was so trippy to see a accurate depiction what was in my head at time. Just so you know you're not dumb just like in this video that change happens to quick for most people to catch it so Thank you for not editing this!
Truth. I had so many injuries and still wasn't ready to leave him...until he decided he didn't want a kid and kicked me in the belly until I miscarried. Too late, but I finally figured out it wasn't me that needed to change; nothing was going to fix that relationship. Ladies (or gentlemen), don't wait...once is too often.
At first i didn't understand how you didn't get it but when you said that you thought his hands felt like thunder on my skin meant static electricity... I got you... Unfortunately with my background I could only associate bad things with that. I appreciate your honesty and your reactions are so genuine... Oh and kudos for always posting the phone numbers and websites. Oh and yes how you even offer that you have resources to help. Keep encouraging people to speak up and letting them know that they are worthy and better than how they're being treated. God bless! Hope you are doing well.. And your daughter too!
Thank you so much Jennifer!! Of course as long as I have a platform to do so I will always speak my/the truth. Yes everything is well with me and I pray the same for you!
@billyyousocrazy Your reaction is how it happens. You give your number, and then your life becomes unrecognizable, and you wonder when that happened. And by then it's too late, you're in the middle of it. Thank you for reminding about lifelines!!
Billy you still don't understand in the beginning of the relationship his hands felt like static electricity it was like that in the beginning then his True natue was revealed
I’m not entirely sure that I’ve heard this before but I almost instantly knew the lyrics to this after the first verse. Actually I’m pretty sure in the first verse it was love she was talking about. How it started after that it’s when the song really hits
That’s what country music does! The same chorus means different things throughout the song. It definitely sounds like passion the first time. I think that’s on purpose.
Now I am wanting to hear a back to back or even a mash-up starting with this song and going into Pat Benatar's "Hit Me With Your Best Shot". We start with this, and Pat comes in to tell the guy, "Try that on me."
I recently found this song while my mom was dealing with her abusive alcoholic narcissist boyfriend. He didn’t know what he was getting into when I found out! He might of been abusive but I’m crazy and he will never break her again! I’m a gentle soul until you mess with my people! If you ever see this Justin... I will never let you hurt her again!
brittbr8tt Good for sister you and I are the same in that way, I don’t mean anyone or anything any harm but don’t mess with my MaMa or any of my darling family. My son is so much like me and my dear beloved Uncle Jackie (who passed a few years back) but he actually had to kill a man (in defense of a third party) my other beloved Uncle Larry (who passed almost exactly a year after his brother Jackie). If Uncle Jackie hadn’t killed that man and he hit my Uncle Larry one more time with the concrete block he was using, then my Uncle Larry would have been killed. Sometimes you have to do things out of your normal character to protect the ones near and Dear to your heart ❤️! It’s also true if you see someone being killed/harmed and you know you have the ability and the capability to stop it, how could you look away and not help. Especially for an innocent, a helpless person or a child. I’m proud you were able to help your Mom out of a horrible situation and help her get away from that parasite of a man a predator is all those types of men are, looking for a woman to prey on. Makes me sick but I’m glad they’re others like me who wouldn’t stand for that nonsense and horrendous behavior. God Bless You, Your Mom and Your Family!
Your reaction to songs like this is one of the reasons you are my favorite reactor on RUclips. I love that you take the time to make sure that resources are made available and try so hard to bring people in situations like this up. Thank you for that.
Don’t be ashamed Billy, she wrote it that way because some men can manipulate women into believing it’s live before they realize it just control and abuse. Billy your a great reactor!!!
Billy I think the first verse was about falling in love, but the second verse was about that huge change when he was hitting her. That is usually how it happens. You fall in love and then are blindsided when they hit you.
BillyYouSoCrazy You absolutely understood the song as Jennifer Nettles wrote it, it’s that how a new love can be excited and full of electrifying feeling but that it can be also signs of something darker to come. Most Men who end up being a woman/wife beater or a batterer are quite charming and they know what type of young ladies to go after, they’re honestly predators looking for the correct prey. They don’t want strong minded, self confident women, they’re looking for the more naive, low self esteem and needy for love. Then the man starts out all charming and nice, but once they have you where they want you the horrendous actions of verbal and physical abuse starts. So you actually got the song from beginning to end because she was showing through her songwriting and singing how something that seems beautiful can turn ugly so fast. No reason to feel like you missed it you actually understood exactly what she wanted you to see, how quickly it can change from good to bad! Thanks 🙏🏼 for another great reaction and your honesty and being so real with your reactions, which makes them even more special. It’s wonderful that you put the hotline information up, Jennifer Nettles would be so glad you did that and happy you truly got the song from beginning to end. Well done and keep them coming!! Much Love, Peace, Respect, Kindness And Blessings To You And Yours
You reacted exactly as the song intended. It was supposed to seem like love, then like a slap in the face it hits you...because that's how it happens. It's a great song...and there's no shame in reacting as you did.
BillyYouSoCrazy, that is exactly how it starts out. Then you can't get rid of them out of your life because they have basically already taken over it. No matter what things you have to leave behind, do so. take your child(ren) and run!!
As far as I'm concerned Jennifer Nettles has one of the greatest singing voices of all time! It's such a shame what happened to their career when the stage collapsed and killed all those people.
My exact statement is "If someone hurts either of you (they are 8 and 5) you girls and momma better get used to visiting me in prison" No hesitation, I'll be there.
It would be interesting to have you react to some really old stuff. Vern Gosdin (the voice) "Chiseled in Stone". Country music writes the stories of life.
Thank you for letting your emotions show and showing a MANS reaction. I love watching your videos. Your respect and honor shows through. The flip of the song is how abusers act. One minute you’re in love thinking how wonderful someone is then you look back and wonder how and why you tolerated this abusive behavior.
I lived this life for 17 years...when I would leave with my kids he would find us...people always ask...why don't they just leave...well... sometimes the fear of the unknown is greater than the fear of the known...I could keep the abuse at Bay by avoiding the triggers...as much as possible... Please react to....You lost Me...by Christine Aguilar
Very well said... ! Thks for the words to explain a question most ppl will ask of a person involved in a very difficult situation. You definitely have grounds to stand on as only a person who’s experienced this unfortunate situation wld have these words to share. Admiration for you @Judith Glidewell & hope you’ve found the peace & happiness you deserve ! 😇
I knew what this song was about the first time I heard from Jennifer, she sings a version of just her. I knew because my mother went through this more times than I could count, but she finally got out when she met my stepdad, tommorow he'll be gone 9yrs
Very simple. Always, always, always question what you are thinking might be perfection -- it's cloaked. Get as far away from them as you possibly can, and as quickly as possible -- never ever look back
When I was in... probably Freshman Year of High School, my boyfriend at the time and I were arguing over something stupid I'm sure. But, I start crying. (confrontation makes me so uncomfortable and at 15 years old it is just amplified) But, before I was even a thought my mom was married to a VERY controlling and abusive man, thankfully, he is not my father. But, I think hear my mom talk about how terribly that relationship was for her both physically and emotionally it gave me strength that give certain circumstances I wasn't going to allow a man or anyone for that matter treat me that way. Back to the freshman year boyfriend fight... when I wouldn't stop crying both out of frustration and anger, he slapped me and told me to shut the F up. It took me a minute to respond because I was so shocked. But I looked him dead in the eyes and told him to get the F out of my house and not to bother coming back. I immediately called his dad, who happened to be a retired police office who I had a great relationship with and told him what happened. I said I didn't feel like the police needed to be involved but that he needed to speak to his son about his anger issues because it wasn't ok, and that the next time I saw him on our property I wouldn't be making a courtesy call to him. From then until his graduation (he was 1 year ahead of me) we never so much as made eye contact. But I was honestly so proud of myself for standing my ground. I didn't tell anyone about it other than my best friend/cousin and she took that secret to her grave. I eventually told a few members of my family as the years have gone on (I'm 32 so it's been a bit)... first thing my younger yet bigger cousins said was yelling to one of the other boys, "Do you know where the key to my gun cabinet is", "Hill, where does this POS live?" I honestly couldn't help but laugh and tell him I loved them for that, but it wasn't necessary, I took care of it and now we live our own lives and we've seen each other at charity events and we either don't put ourselves in a position to speak or be introduced to one another... or we make it short and sweet and move on. My thinking is simply that something you do when you're 15/16 shouldn't haunt you the rest of your life. Now that being said, I want nothing to do with him, but it doesn't mean that I need to air out our dirty laundry.
Well i am glad you were so strong to be able to face that! You’re testimony definitely deserves to be shared more. Wow I am truly blown away. You are extremely strong!
@@BillyYouSoCrazy Thank you, that's very sweet. Along time ago I told myself that there were 2 situations that would end a relationship right then and their... screwing someone else, or laying a hand on me. I hope that he grew out of that and is doing good, but if we crossed paths I would probably just pretend I didn't know who he was. Not worth my time.
It wasn't easy,but I got out.Got my ass whopped for the first time 6 days after the wedding.Took 16 years of hell before I could get out and he did about half of the stuff he promised if I left.I still have nightmares 15 years later.No man is worth your life
Yes. Kelly that is one of my favorite songs ever. It and Blaine Larson "How Do You Get That Lonely" helped me process some pent up emotion from losing one of my dad's best friends to suicide.
The very first time I heard "his hands felt like thunder on my skin" a voice in my head was like "that does not sound romantic but everyone is different I guess". Then it got to the second verse and I was 😮😮😮😮. Trust me you weren't the only one that got caught
No one, whether it be a man or a woman, should ever let someone abuse them either physically, or verbally. You deserve to be treated better than that. And if you have kids, get out right now. Zebra don't change their stripes, no matter how they try to convince you it'll never happen again.
I just want to say when you said how did I miss the signs, well that was the point. Women dismiss the signs when falling in love faster and we forgive the guy muptial times then another women tells her story and it's the same then they leave.
You should check out Jennifer Nettle's beautiful tribute to 9/11, 'King of the City'. It is told from the view of an immigrant window washer. The lyrics and her vocals are achingly haunting. ruclips.net/video/JyiyzPoPOgk/видео.html
I always say that anyone can be good for a little while. We fall for the good, believing it is a lifestyle and are always surprised to find out how very wrong we can be.
Thank you so much for your compassion and for shining a light on this terrifying and quiet subject. Survivors appreciate you.
Brandy Clark will get acknowledged as the songwriter of a generation mark my words
I’m glad you didn’t edit it. There’s no shame. I had the same reaction. Everyone wants that deep reaction to love and how quickly it turns. They are magical for taking us thru the emotions.
Thank you for reacting! Strong message, It was easy to get how u didn’t see it, just like the women & men who see the kindness that these abusers put out at the beginning until the real evil comes out of them… I lived it.. get out tell someone it’s not easy but I believe in you!!! You & your children deserve it! Much strength & love to all of you in this horrible position. God Bless✌🏻🤍🙏
I can't unlove you is a beautiful Jennifer nettles song
You did get it right. The shift from love and passion to fear and pain was designed into the song. That juxtaposition was so powerful.
I love that you kept your original reaction! The honesty is refreshing. I didn’t realize what the song was about from the beginning either.
She wrote it like that for your exact reaction. Everyone had it the first time they listened. She’s saying that an exciting and electric love can flip so quickly. And the signs of an electrifying love can sometimes be the signs for something so much darker.
Exactly! It wasn't about being slow to get it, it's SUPPOSED to catch you off guard. Kind of like living through it.
EXACTLY!!!!!!
Yep. Jennifer did it on purpose. She's a genius.
In the beginning it was like static electricity,till he got her hooked
Don’t be ashamed because I thought the same thing about the beginning the first time I heard it. I think we’re all supposed to have felt that because that’s how men like that are. Perfect and then...worse than animals!
Thank you for sharing and giving such a honest and caring reaction. But that's exactly how the relationship is, you're caught up in the good in the beginning and before you know it, it's turned into domestic violence.
Don't feel ashamed...🙏🏼 you figured it out...that's what matters🕊🙏🏼🙏🏼🙏🏼🙏🏼🎶💜
New subscriber here because I just recently discovered this song and your genuine reaction is amazing. Can't wait to watch more of you now!!!
You’re forgiven. Your reaction was real.
Jennifer Nettles has a album she wrote while going thru a divorce from a bad, violent and unfaithful marriage. You have reacted to Stay already but she wrote that from the perspective of being the other woman in love with a man who is married. Stay shows her completely emotional and she had to stop and re record, stop and try again so many times it got to a point where Kristian Bush, the guy with her in Sugarland, said that's it just use what you have bc it was killing him watching her breakdown time and time again. Her solo album with the domestic violence & healing based songs is one that is a grand slam outta the park its so amazing in so many ways. I love, love, LOVE me some Jennifer Nettles.
"But the truth's on my face."
Don't worry the first time I heard this song I basically had thought the same thing.
That’s the point and she wrote a song that made you feel this woman’s journey and trauma. When will radio and the world get that Brandy is this powerful and she got it from being inspired by Gretchen peters who wrote Martina McBride’s songs you all love. Brandy has written for most artist charting for over 15 years and ignored for it. She’s so sarcastic and fun with serious things too. A real songwriter and Jennifer is too.
Jennifer nettles is one of a kind my gosh amazing all I can say women get out and men also God Bless 🙏🙏

So quick!
Same with me! I was lucky to figure it out n leave right away... N I'm a Brandy
Truth. I had so many injuries and still wasn't ready to leave him...until he decided he didn't want a kid and kicked me in the belly until I miscarried. Too late, but I finally figured out it wasn't me that needed to change; nothing was going to fix that relationship. Ladies (or gentlemen), don't wait...once is too often.

@billyyousocrazy
Your reaction is how it happens.
You give your number, and then your life becomes unrecognizable, and you wonder when that happened.
And by then it's too late, you're in the middle of it.
Thank you for reminding about lifelines!!
Jennifer Nettles has one of the purest most amazing voices you'll ever hear
Billy you still don't understand in the beginning of the relationship his hands felt like static electricity it was like that in the beginning then his True natue was revealed
"There were so many signs..." Exactly. You're meant to not see it coming but be left wondering why you didn't see the signs. Just like so many women.
KnitsWithHorses lived that always told myself it would get better until till one day I e

I lost my best friend to domestic violence - 30 yrs later it still hurts!
Good call on putting that hotline number up.
First time hearing this it tore me up from the floor up being a young man raised by single mom could never understand why she didn't just walk away
Don’t be ashamed. They walked you through it which was the point!!!
I recently found this song while my mom was dealing with her abusive alcoholic narcissist boyfriend. He didn’t know what he was getting into when I found out! He might of been abusive but I’m crazy and he will never break her again! I’m a gentle soul until you mess with my people! If you ever see this Justin... I will never let you hurt her again!
brittbr8tt Good for sister you and I are the same in that way, I don’t mean anyone or anything any harm but don’t mess with my MaMa or any of my darling family. My son is so much like me and my dear beloved Uncle Jackie (who passed a few years back) but he actually had to kill a man (in defense of a third party) my other beloved Uncle Larry (who passed almost exactly a year after his brother Jackie). If Uncle Jackie hadn’t killed that man and he hit my Uncle Larry one more time with the concrete block he was using, then my Uncle Larry would have been killed.

I’m proud you were able to help your Mom out of a horrible situation and help her get away from that parasite of a man a predator is all those types of men are, looking for a woman to prey on. Makes me sick but I’m glad they’re others like me who wouldn’t stand for that nonsense and horrendous behavior. God Bless You, Your Mom and Your Family!
Totally gotta do Jennifer Nettles "Stay".
Really appreciate your reaction and the posting of the helpline. That is what a real man would do, and you are the man...good job!!
Yes, if you haven't yet you should do Jennifer Nettles "Stay"
Your reaction to songs like this is one of the reasons you are my favorite reactor on RUclips. I love that you take the time to make sure that resources are made available and try so hard to bring people in situations like this up. Thank you for that.
Wow thank you for that ❤️Especially for doing something that I feel anybody who’s listens to songs like this should do. I’m really honored
Thank you for the hotline I know so many who don't get out 😢no woman has to live like that.
Don’t be ashamed Billy, she wrote it that way because some men can manipulate women into believing it’s live before they realize it just control and abuse. Billy your a great reactor!!!
Billy I think the first verse was about falling in love, but the second verse was about that huge change when he was hitting her. That is usually how it happens. You fall in love and then are blindsided when they hit you.
My favorite hometown girl Brandy!!!
BillyYouSoCrazy You absolutely understood the song as Jennifer Nettles wrote it, it’s that how a new love can be excited and full of electrifying feeling but that it can be also signs of something darker to come. Most Men who end up being a woman/wife beater or a batterer are quite charming and they know what type of young ladies to go after, they’re honestly predators looking for the correct prey. They don’t want strong minded, self confident women, they’re looking for the more naive, low self esteem and needy for love. Then the man starts out all charming and nice, but once they have you where they want you the horrendous actions of verbal and physical abuse starts.

You reacted exactly as the song intended. It was supposed to seem like love, then like a slap in the face it hits you...because that's how it happens. It's a great song...and there's no shame in reacting as you did.
Thats the type of songs Jennifer Nettles sings. The 1st time you're "I like this song" and the 2nd you're like "Wait, what?!"
BillyYouSoCrazy, that is exactly how it starts out. Then you can't get rid of them out of your life because they have basically already taken over it. No matter what things you have to leave behind, do so. take your child(ren) and run!!
As far as I'm concerned Jennifer Nettles has one of the greatest singing voices of all time! It's such a shame what happened to their career when the stage collapsed and killed all those people.
Sugarland is back together and doing well. It is such a shame what happened in Indiana. But they recovered.
as a friend of mine said I have daughters & you hurt them I WILL ROCK THAT ORANGE JUMPSUIT
My exact statement is "If someone hurts either of you (they are 8 and 5) you girls and momma better get used to visiting me in prison" No hesitation, I'll be there.

The flip of the song is how abusers act. One minute you’re in love thinking how wonderful someone is then you look back and wonder how and why you tolerated this abusive behavior.
Those ladies are singing like they've been there
I think in the beginning the thunder was exciting but he changed as the song switchs cuz she says I thought he was all I ever wanted.
You need to listen to stay by sugar land . Great song
I lived this life for 17 years...when I would leave with my kids he would find us...people always ask...why don't they just leave...well... sometimes the fear of the unknown is greater than the fear of the known...I could keep the abuse at Bay by avoiding the triggers...as much as possible...

Billy please react to Sugarland - Stuck Like Glue
you should do stay by Sugarland.
Listen to The Joke by Brandi Carlile.
I knew what this song was about the first time I heard from Jennifer, she sings a version of just her.
I knew because my mother went through this more times than I could count, but she finally got out when she met my stepdad, tommorow he'll be gone 9yrs
Hunny I couldn't help but laugh at your reaction lol
It’s real. You reacted well. We all miss things. It all good.
Don't feel too bad. The very first time I heard it I didn't realize either until Brandy came in.
Please react to Stay by Jennifer Nettles... Please
A man that hits/ beat on a woman is no man
Billy please react to Matt Stillwell,, " Hey Dad". Please try to watch the official video. It is an awesome song.
You should look up Sugar land Stay if you haven’t reacted to it yet. 😊
Absolutely! I was going to make the same suggestion!
Very simple. Always, always, always question what you are thinking might be perfection -- it's cloaked. Get as far away from them as you possibly can, and as quickly as possible -- never ever look back
I was right with you!
Take a listen to "Dear Mr. Jesus"
Baby Girl by Sugarland
When I was in... probably Freshman Year of High School, my boyfriend at the time and I were arguing over something stupid I'm sure. But, I start crying.

@@BillyYouSoCrazy Thank you, that's very sweet. Along time ago I told myself that there were 2 situations that would end a relationship right then and their... screwing someone else, or laying a hand on me. I hope that he grew out of that and is doing good, but if we crossed paths I would probably just pretend I didn't know who he was. Not worth my time.
Dont feel ashamed! That's the talent of this artist! She uses her words and voice as her paintbrush!
The song means he starts out loving but turns dark
It wasn't easy,but I got out.Got my ass whopped for the first time 6 days after the wedding.Took 16 years of hell before I could get out and he did about half of the stuff he promised if I left.I still have nightmares 15 years later.No man is worth your life
Prayer’s 🙏 for you !
TY
This is a good song. I'd love to see your reaction to Why by Rascal Flatts. It's a great song that has been overlooked by a lot of people.
Can I throw like 15 likes on this one please? We really need to see that one, Billy!
Yes. Kelly that is one of my favorite songs ever. It and Blaine Larson "How Do You Get That Lonely" helped me process some pent up emotion from losing one of my dad's best friends to suicide.
The very first time I heard "his hands felt like thunder on my skin" a voice in my head was like "that does not sound romantic but everyone is different I guess". Then it got to the second verse and I was 😮😮😮😮. Trust me you weren't the only one that got caught
Don't feel bad. It took me a minute to realize it went from falling in love to domestic abuse real quick.
Billy,you should start a new playlist section and put every song that gets the abuse hotline number in it.
Jennifer Nettles- That Girl
Sugarland- Tony (cover)
No one, whether it be a man or a woman, should ever let someone abuse them either physically, or verbally. You deserve to be treated better than that. And if you have kids, get out right now. Zebra don't change their stripes, no matter how they try to convince you it'll never happen again.
That's the way it was in the beginning. So when he changed, so did the chorus.
Watch stay by her so good
Bro it's alright. That change up is actually something that is common in country music.
Try Shania Twain's...Black eyes and blue tears...
I haven't heard this before but Jennifer Nettles is a great singer
hey can you please react to Jennifer nettles at miscast, either "all the wasted time" or especially "it all fades away" they're AMAZING
You should listen to Da Yoopers 30 Point Buck!!
I just want to say when you said how did I miss the signs, well that was the point.
Women dismiss the signs when falling in love faster and we forgive the guy muptial times then another women tells her story and it's the same then they leave.
You should check out Jennifer Nettle's beautiful tribute to 9/11, 'King of the City'. It is told from the view of an immigrant window washer. The lyrics and her vocals are achingly haunting.
