11 Marines, one corpsman, and a soldier paid the ultimate sacrifice today in Afghanistan. 8/26/21. Fair winds and following seas brothers. Semper Fidelis. Really needed to come and hear this song tonight.
It never should have happened. Hats off to our heros. They knew what they were signing up for, but they should be sleeping in their beds tonight, and not the ground they were fighting for. The choice of one dictated the fate of 13, unnecessarily. God bless our troops.
On September 7, 2021, I lost my best friend and fiance to PTSD(suicide). He was a PROUD MARINE that served 2 tours giving his service & sacrifice for our country. He treated me like a queen and he was my king. I took care of everything for him. Everything was perfect. He just couldn't fight the war within anymore. We went everywhere together (even out of state because he was now a Union Millwright) This day I went to alone, returned home and he was drunk. Nothing unusual that's how he coped with the war within. I started doing dishes, he kissed me and told me how much he loved me and I told him back. He went outside to do yard work and I got a bad feeling...I went outside screaming for him....ADAM!? ADAM!? I noticed the door to our garage was open. I ran there and found him hanging. Now, he's sleeping in his dress blues. Thank you Zach Bryan for once again helping me in my grief. God Speed, brother.
"Chosen Few" ...Charlie Company 2-12 INF ..So many casualties in my unit I couldn't wear all my bracelets at once brother.. Ft Carson Colorado ..we ended the surge in Iraq ..Ramadi, Fallujah, Baghdad (Sunni Triangle), Kumar Province Afghan. I've done my time and thankfully survived with injury but I'm well alive. This song hits home for me and mine brother thanks
Soldiers, Marines, sailors, and airmen live in peace in heaven man. Them boys are a lot a better off then those left behind. God bless their souls, and their willingness to fight and die for those unable to.
American Antler Hunter sorry for your loss. I experienced this as well. Coming back wasn’t easy when you knew there are others not coming back with you that you left with.
this was six years ago...I just saw Zach play a sold out Ford field in Detroit. Jason Isbel and the 400 unit opened for him. Ive been to hundreds of concerts, and try to avoid big stadium shows, but it was an amazing show the sound the stage the musicians the set list. easily the top 5 of my lifetime.
I was there Thursday night at Ford Field, too. Some kind of magic of a show, right? Jason Isbell and Zach Bryan are both pure class acts. We are privileged to bear witness to these guys, I tell ya.
Coming from someone who found a bomb in the sand the wrong way, and was able to walk away from it, this ht hard.....I am forever grateful that I got to come home....and saddened for those who didn't come home....keep telling stories the way you do brother. I'm on my last tour (I hope) and your music is a staple in my daily life. I have used your music to get me through a lot over the last little bit. Don't change your style; keep telling stories; stay genuine. RLTW
Thank you for your service sir. My brother is in the Marines and I couldn't imagine life without him. I hope you're doing ok. Thank you again. Maybe you finding that mine saved anothers life.
Thank you for your service sir. i aint even american but i want to thank you for bleeding for ur country. me being from europe my family have seen alot of war back in the days from both sides and i just wish it could all end everywhere.
I don't tend to comment on videos, but this song is hitting home. I'm sitting wasted and alone in my shitty barracks room on a saturday and this is the song that's gettin me through it. Appreciate ya
First Marine I ever lost was after she found out she was pregnant. I was the first one she told and I hold that conversation deep in my heart. Was the first time I ever had to put my blues on to say goodbye to a hell of a Marine and hoped it would be my last. The second Marine I lost was just 5 days before heading home. I know it hits every buddy hard but damn if it isn't a stab in the heart when you're in charge. I can't help but think what I could have done differently or why did I end up getting home when they didn't. Semper fi killers we'll feast again one day.
I listened to this song before I went to boot camp and felt something, a sort of patriotism, but Jesus what I feel now is a gut wrenching sickness. I can’t imaging losing the brothers that I have met and serve with. I thank the lord for every one of the few good men that served before me
Lost a great friend in September. Bunch of drunk sailors killed him. He was 23. All he wanted in life is to serve his country and make his momma proud. We met and bootcamp and served for 2 years before it happened. It’s fucked me up for life. Watching my best friend fall 10 stories to his death with no way to help him. This song seems so perfect. Thank you Zach you have helped me through more times than you can even imagine.
Zach, i lost my best friend , a retired senior nco recently. This song takes it straight to the heart, especially coming from you on this version. Forever grateful, warrant officer szabo
I’m a huge Isbell fan and I’m not gonna lie I like this version better. I think the rawness of this recording suits the song perfectly. Keep it up man you’re gonna do great things
Al Smith I too am a huge Isbell fan. I’m not ready to say this is better than the original, just glad to see Jason’s songs being introduced to a whole new audience so they can experience the greatest songwriting of this generation.
I like Jason, he's amazing. I gotta tell you brother, you nailed this one. I felt it more when listening to you sing it. I lost it at 30 seconds and cried the whole song. Thank you for this.
Thank you for your service and also the dedication to your music. Both are helping people in ways you’ll never know. Keep up the excellent work. Much love from the Pacific Northwest.
I've been a huge fan of Jason Isbell for a few years now, and I absolutely love this song. You did an amazing job covering it! I got goosebumps from the sheer emotion of it.
I know Isbell wrote this about a guy from his high school so it’s somewhat personal but Zach being a serviceman adds to the vulnerable honesty that this song is about. I’m a huge JB fan but I’d be overjoyed if Zach ever got to record and cut this song, especially if it was a simple cut like this.
It pisses me off that I can only hit the thumbs up button one time for this song. This is absolutely amazing and words cannot express what this means to someone who has earned his dress blues. Thank you sir for covering this song and doing such an amazing job. The purity and the way that we as listeners can tell that you mean every word that you sing and that it comes from the heart speaks volumes. Thank you.
Ive been listening for a little over a year now and your voice still gives me goosebumps every time i hear it best singer of this century if i had to name one
Might not be the smartest idea, brother. Military ain't like it used to be. And we ain't exactly been fighting on the side of the good guys for a long time. If there was even such a thing.
A long time ago I saw his song “heading south” and I knew this guy was destined to become someone and I know he will be this is only the beginning of a very promising career. Take care man I loved the cover.
Wow, I am not in service but I thank God for the sacrifice you incredible men and women make for our freedom! Song brought me to tears imagining what it must be like.
Never ever did I think I would like another version better than Jason's. I am huge huge ISBELL fan but I gotta say...I like this better. I love the emotion in your voice. Very raw very real . Good job

Rest in Peace 🙏

8/26/21* but amen my dad served 13 yrs his best friend got blown up right beside him
Til Valhalla
Just visited our corpsman a few weekends ago. We raised one for each of ours. I would never take my time a different way

This hurt my heart
Jesus lady, never have I cried so much
I am so, so sorry. Brittney, I truly hope that you’re doing ok. My heart hurts for you ❤️
Praying
God I'm sorry. Originally written for Matt Connolly but Isbell definitely wrote it for your man as well. Also killed in action
❤️
It’s rare when anyone can do a good cover of an isbell song. This is killer man
Here's my version of "God Damn Lonely Love". 🤘

Garrison Kelley beautiful. For a ford at least ;). One of my favorite songs and he killed the cover
@@genisessnipe2741 HAHA not funny
@@genisessnipe2741
Aw
Not a ford fan. I like my bowtie. But hands down this is the best cover
Me too bro...the tears wont stop
This kid will be famous soon...
Stevie SimsII..... check out my new country album on my profile.
@@johnsmithh662 he does look like Jim
For sure

Ur right
Written for Matthew Conley, one of our Alabama hometown heroes! Good cover brother
This should be bumped to the top

Lost a brother and almost lost my own life in Iraq, this give me chills man. You’re extremely talented dude
I have a friend going in the marines this summer
My cousin just went into the marines last summer
Thank you for your service
Loved the offering I ever heard from Zach, but in the event you don't know this song is Jason Isbell. Great rendition here!
Thank you for your sacrafice and your families sacrafice. I will live a life that deserves what you gave. Thank you.
I love how positive the comments are for all of his videos. Such a talent.

im sorry for your losses, i understand how you feel, one of my best friends was lost over seas.
The strength of love midst semper fi is one of the most powerful things Ive ever witnessed. Thank you all for serving and giving so selflessly
The greatest cover of all time. Not a debate. I could listen to this on repeat and shed tears every time.
The past couple of days really make a track like this hit harder than usual
Dude im not even a country fan but this guys music just always hits differently in an amazing way
I listened to this song before I went to boot camp and felt something, a sort of patriotism, but Jesus what I feel now is a gut wrenching sickness. I can’t imaging losing the brothers that I have met and serve with. I thank the lord for every one of the few good men that served before me
As a retired vet, I have to say this is one of the most touching songs to veterans I have ever heard, thank you so very much for this.
Mr. Covington, thank you sir. God Bless you.

Glad to see a brother who served sing this song, no disrespect. Jason is awesome but Zach we've felt this

I’m a huge Isbell fan and I’m not gonna lie I like this version better. I think the rawness of this recording suits the song perfectly.
Keep it up man you’re gonna do great things
Al Smith I agree. Morgan Wallen did an amazing cover of cover me up by Jason is bell if you haven’t heard it already
Al Smith I too am a huge Isbell fan. I’m not ready to say this is better than the original, just glad to see Jason’s songs being introduced to a whole new audience so they can experience the greatest songwriting of this generation.
All these raw sessions are much better than the studio recorded mess they’ve tried to make sound better
@@bryanscarborough00 please tell me that was just a facetious joke. That Morgan guy BUTCHERED that song and should be exiled for it.
I agree. Huge isbell fan too and I haven’t heard any one cover this as well. I’d love to hook you up with clay cook and see where shit goes.
I like Jason, he's amazing. I gotta tell you brother, you nailed this one. I felt it more when listening to you sing it. I lost it at 30 seconds and cried the whole song. Thank you for this.
CaisonWhatley some songs get me like that too. Cheers man.
Same
The fact he’s in the navy just makes it just that much more emotional
Gives me chills every time I listen
RIP to the 13 Americans we lost in Afghanistan. 🙏
I first listened to this song right after my first Marine corps ball this year. Definitely had me in tears tbh.
He sang this live in San Diego last week. If anyone happens to have a video of it please reach out, I would love to have it
The sound, the scene, the feeling. This is insane. Thank you for this one.
Unbelievable cover. Very heartfelt!! Made my day
Thank you for your service and also the dedication to your music. Both are helping people in ways you’ll never know. Keep up the excellent work. Much love from the Pacific Northwest.
Songs been on my mind all day.. thank you
One of my favourite artists covering my most favourite. Love this.
I like a person who sings from the heart, don’t think some of the best can top you. I’ll pay any price to be at front row when you go on tour
I've been a huge fan of Jason Isbell for a few years now, and I absolutely love this song. You did an amazing job covering it! I got goosebumps from the sheer emotion of it.
Please just keep doing you. This music brings back so many indescribable memories of my grandpa's ranch. RIP Paps
One of my absolute favorites brother
Sitting by a fire picking and singing thank you for keeping what real music is about alive!!
Isbell is one of the best songwriters I’ve ever heard. It’s really inspirational, honestly
I know Isbell wrote this about a guy from his high school so it’s somewhat personal but Zach being a serviceman adds to the vulnerable honesty that this song is about. I’m a huge JB fan but I’d be overjoyed if Zach ever got to record and cut this song, especially if it was a simple cut like this.
Love this voice and passion
Love the voice, and this song goes so deep. Thank you.. Hope you make it to Missoula someday.
It pisses me off that I can only hit the thumbs up button one time for this song. This is absolutely amazing and words cannot express what this means to someone who has earned his dress blues. Thank you sir for covering this song and doing such an amazing job.

Absolutely amazing
Zach!! From on fellow soldier to another, thank you for being you and dont stop ever!!
Isbell is an amazing songwriter, this captures it, no wonder so many love this kid....
you are too precious...... we Marines ........ we love this.
This kid doesnt miss. Been a long time since we've had a song writer so talented.
Wow, Zach is pure unadulterated raw talent. Thank u for writing and playing music . Please dont ever stop
I am ever in awe of your talent spirit and heart Keep shacking the earth
Great cover !! Such a powerful song!
You gotta release this man, this is amazing
😭 Your voice is amazing! I cannot wait to watch you live!
Thank you Zach and everyone else out there in the service. God bless you all stay safe out there.
This song gave me so much strenght last year, it will forever be engraved in my memory…
Well, now I have seen it all!!! How amazing!!!
I’m obsessed with this cover ,makes me get a lump in my throat every time 🥺
The only guy, I want to see cover a Jason Isbell song.
Sung with passion your a artist that deserves all the radio play and recognition man.. until then ill be putting my people on to your slept on gems
This song is simple but it speaks to all.. Thank you
Thank you for this performance. Love from Oklahoma.
I'm a 16-year-old lad from down under, I have never served but am sure hoping to. But despite never serving this gave me shivers. Keep working brother
Might not be the smartest idea, brother. Military ain't like it used to be. And we ain't exactly been fighting on the side of the good guys for a long time. If there was even such a thing.
Do what makes you happy bro. Good friends will be met and shitty times will be as will
This is an anti war song
I have no words, just thank you.
First time I ever heard this song. Great job man, sounds beautiful.. Simper Fi!
WOW, cold chills immediately.....
Isbell is my favorite artist....

Such a beautiful song powerful
I can't stop listening to this 😍
Love it my man. Song hits hard when you serve

Sad to hear man thank you for you sacrifice to this great country people like you are the reason I fly the colors high
Rah
A long time ago I saw his song “heading south” and I knew this guy was destined to become someone and I know he will be this is only the beginning of a very promising career. Take care man I loved the cover.
How is this guy so good...I'm awe struck
Gave me chills. You did amazing!

It’s crazy that Zach served 8 years in the navy I don’t know that my whole time listening until now and it makes me appreciate his craft even more
Love your stuff Zach helping me through a difficult time at the moment
from Australia
What a beautiful song by Jason Isbell, sung by one great one Zach Bryan ! Man the talent between those two great Musicians ! ❤
Wow, I am not in service but I thank God for the sacrifice you incredible men and women make for our freedom! Song brought me to tears imagining what it must be like.
Huge fan of your music man. You are awesome
Been thinking of getting a guitar for awhile now. My dad played.. I'm gonna go buy one tomorrow. Yo7 inspired in ways I can't even explain. Thank you
Your awesome Zach. Your have a great future. God Bless!
Never ever did I think I would like another version better than Jason's. I am huge huge ISBELL fan but I gotta say...I like this better. I love the emotion in your voice. Very raw very real . Good job
He could be singing about a Friend here..... He is Navy in explosive Ordnance
My favorite Isabell song covered by Zach. Amazing

Great nod to jason isbell..bdt...great job👍😊
A man this young shouldn't be this good , but he is . Awesome !
