This song is amazing. The singing, the playing, and the songwriting are all perfect. Idk if this song is a real story, but man, that’s an emotional story to tell. Great writing!
This hit me hard just had an argument that i blew up on my daughter about. My dad was an asshole. I threw her phone and scared everyone i guess and im the only one that cares she was sending inappropriate crap on apps at 13. Now im sitting here thinking about what was the right way with it being a repeat thing. I wanted it broken and still do but its just me against the household. Now im stuck wondering what position to take thinking itll be fine or ending the problem and causing another fight. Tried talking and explaining now its like whats the point in being here i got told i scare everyone. Ive never hit anyone and only been loud over things like theft and internet/phone usage. I said no phones to begin with got over ran then said no social media got over ran. 11 years married and its all falling apart over parenting. Worse part is feeling your in the right and being wrong to everyone else. My dad wasnt part of the picture till hit with child support then was just an asshole that treated me like a burden every other weekend. All i ever wanted since was to not be that guy. Today i look at the mirror and wonder if its just a matter of time just lasted longer. Havent talked to my dad in 5 years have a sister younger then my youngest ive never met.
I was in the same position except it was my daughter’s father that didn’t understand my insisting on limits for her phone. Dad and daughter against mom. Are you able to go back and ask what scared everyone? Maybe you were on a level 10 but you can back up to a level 3. Relationships with our children and spouse are hard. Your wife probably has trauma, too. Take a breath. Think 🤔 through a plan to get another chance to have mom protect her daughter from online predators. Maybe ask your wife what young teenager girls need to be safe from predatory men. Put the power in your wife’s lap. I wish I had found a way to hand the problem of our daughter’s safety to him. I believe now that he didn’t understand my wanting to protect our daughter and just saw me as dominating and obstinate.
Just! Freaking! WOW!!!!! I have not been so spellbound by a story since I hear "Cold Missouri Waters" for the first time. You have learned your path is something you are able to walk with your own choices either because or in spite of what you endured. May your heart be strong. Your will resolute. Your determination unwavering. Above all may you find peace.
Wow. Really hit a nerve with this one. When you're daughter slurred her words the tears fell like rain brother 🙏 hit home in my heart and a home run with this one!
How did this song win the contest and have less than 9,000 views. I heard Justin Flynn's Fu#ked up brain and had to see what song could have possibly beaten it, Justin you did great I didn't think a song could have been better but you will not get a argument from me. Congratulations brother keep on kicking ass we absolutely love this shit!!!!
Been watching since your earlier submissions. Love your music dude. Got a few albums on Bandcamp. I hope you are well. This song is beautiful. If it's a reality... Well.. what does that say about you... You don't fall far from the tree... But you've planted your own roots... You've blossomed and grown. You've reach for the light... You've provided shade for those that need it. Thanks brother ❤
Congratulations on the accomplishment of taking first place! So cool you let your daughter pick the prize! I hope she is an aspiring young musician too! Inspired by her father. I hope her roots get all your sweet parts and caring creative components and I hope she can learn and grow from you like you have from your roots.
What a poignant, haunting song -- you sing and play so beautifully too. Wishing you all the best-I know you have it in you to soar far, far from the tree because you were able to write this song and you have so much light in you!
Holy shit dude! Such a powerful tune and it hits close to home. I can remember that shame. It still cuts deep; even after 7+ years sober. Love you, my friend. Let's try to get a show together at the house.
I’m sure you won’t see this but I’ll try anyway Lol I met a guy named Jordan smart in rehab YEARS ago now in Georgetown Kentucky, you look VERY similar to the guy I met….. am I fucking crazy or is that you brother man? If I’m wrong just tell me Haha 😂 I was there with Jacob. I was always outside at the fire pit, kept my brain quite tending to the flames and splitting wood Lol I also might of had a bag of pot I snuck in, maybe Haha 😂 helped with the withdraws for sure!! Again, if I’m right I’m glad you’re kicking ass man!! If I’m wrong, well still!! Great song Lol 👍
Is this song recorded anywhere, preferably band camp so I can send you money directly, but Spotify would be great, I don't see it there but I would love to listen to this on the regular
