Zach Bryan - 28
Embed
- Published on Mar 10, 2026
- You took a train to the south side of Boston,
You showed me where your old man stayed,
Took 28 years of blood I was lost in,
To feel loved on my own birthday,
I always felt like I’s in between something,
Like home and somewhere far away,
But tonight on the west side in a bar out in Brooklyn,
I saw tears outline your face,
How lucky are we?
It’s been a hell of a week, but we’re all grown now,
There’s smoke seeping out, of your bloody teeth,
But you’re home somehow,
I’ll be upstairs with the guitar I’s given,
When I was barley fourteen,
When did McGlinchey’s get so damn crowded,
And why are the crowds so damn green?
I lost my mind on the streets of the city,
Maybe I lost all hope too,
Took 28 years of blood pumping through me,
To get to this evening with you,
How lucky are we?
It’s been a hell of a week, but we’re all grown now,
There’s smoke seeping out, of your bloody teeth,
But you’re home somehow,
How lucky are we?
It’s been a hell of a week, but we’re all grown now,
There’s smoke seeping out, of your bloody teeth,
But you’re home somehow
Best guitarist of all time, member of the band: Chris Braun

Thank you for releasing these. My mother is losing her battle with brain cancer, and we both love your music ❤ If anyone sees this, please pray for us and our family.
Edit: Thank you all for your prayers. My mom passed yesterday morning. We got over 8 months with her after her brain cancer diagnosis. She fought up until the very end.
One of my favorite memories with her was going to one of Zach's smaller concerts at The Filmore in MN. We were one of the first in line and got to be in the front of the crowd.
I know I will see her again someday ❤
I love you mom.
God bless you and your family. 🙏❤
Psalm 23:4 - Even though I walk through the darkest valley, I will fear no evil, for you are with me; your rod and your staff, they comfort me.
Prayers sent. I lost my mother a year ago to cancer.
praying for your mother man
I lost my mom to cancer two years ago. Stay strong my friend and cherish every moment. I'll be thinking of you two
The phone falling and you powering through it, is the best part, absolutely love it.
He’s so raw and it’s amazing
I was going to thank Zach for being real and not doing a second take.
Leave the black screen and close your eyes just enjoy this pure moment.
You could actually listen to better.. hits different in the dark of the floor
@sae1erGod’s speed 🙂
Nothing is more Zach Bryan than the phone falling over while recording. Just raw and unapologetic, and that's why you're so loved!
Just like 2019
Reality
gaayyyyyyy
so real
Don’t get too emotional
Who remembers Zach 3+ years ago? This is what we need right here
Fr
Preach it!!
I love the unearthed vibe this gives. Hence why I loved Smaller Acts so much it was so raw and the sounds around him were so beautiful and of course Bris laugh. Gives the song such perspective
Zach Bryan in 2015 lol 🤣 I've been listening to him since he began 😀
before the amazon cowgirls ruined him
2 SONGS IN ONE DAY, this man is the best
Fr!!!
Frrrrrrrr
My thoughts exactlyyyyyyyy 🥰🥰🥰🥰🥰🥰🥰🥰🥰🥰🥰
THATS WHAT I SAID
What was the other one??
Zach you probably won’t see this comment but thank you for saving my life. I’ve struggled with depression, anxiety, and sadly suicidal tendencies. But the one thing I can count on to get me through my days is your music. While a lot of it isn’t the right sense of mood to be listening to, a lot of it reminds me of better days to come. I can never thank you enough. Keep doing what you’re doing and sharing your music with the rest of the world!
God bless you ❤️🙏
It gets better
Music can do that. It helped me.
SteveAustin-pm2jnwhy do you need a professional camera? The dang video of the amazing guy you are watching is using a freaking iPhone that fell over in the video, if it’s good enough for him, it’s good enough for you.
Have you listened to Joe Clark yet? He's got some real good songs the people can relate to.
This man is mega famous, released one of the best albums last year, and posted a casual video of him playing where the phone just fell over and its the most authentic emotional music ive heard in weeks
That’s why so many people including myself and brother loved this man before he was mega famous sitting on a tailgate of a truck in the navy just jamming and I’m so glad he finally got the fame he deserved and that he isn’t a trend anymore
Must be localized cuz here in California no one listens to him not even during pride month
If your reading this Jesus loves you
Even if you're not reading this, Jesus loves you
🙄
People who can’t read punching the air rn
YES HE DOES!!
Haha 😂 so does satan!! 😈😘
Just had the worst day of my life, I need you Lord, I need your love tonight ❤😢
Stay strong
everything gets better bud 🙏
i’ll be praying!!!
Hope it gets better man
Prayers from Oklahoma cowgirl songwriter prayers peace
This stuff right here is what makes Zach such an incredible artist. It's raw, it's real.
He doesn't need a massive production in a studio, he just needs a guitar, piano, and his buddies.
Love the feel of a song recorded with a phone. Feels authentic
Anyone else still coming here after the album release because these raw cuts just hit harder?
New version is not good
The nostalgic feel of these videos today is amazing
If you’re reading this, I’m proud of you. You’re doing great and there’s no need to be in a rush. I truly am proud of how far you’ve come and I may not know you but I’m rooting for you
You're awesome!!
I felt this . Somehow I think you need the same message . Your presence matters in this world brother thank you for the encouragement
Thank you
You’re amazing to, I’ve been learning we all just need to support each other a lil more in this world
@musicnowcollectiveyes brother thats what humans need, why do you think the media tries so hard to separate people man because if we were all together in unity this world would be COMPLETELY different, it would actually be an amazing life to live, money shouldnt even exist what so ever, the real money is food and water but now we need useless paper to get our food and water? 🤦🏻♂️ We all just need to be together
2:14 bro’s phone fell into the piano and he casually just carried on. Real.
We lost our mom 3 months apart. I was 17 your were 20 I hope you understand how much you and your music means to me and my mental health. Thank you Zach for helping me grieve. God bless you
Same man I lost my mom September 9 2016 when I was 13. I think that’s why I love Zach Bryan so much. I can just relate to his hurt, it’s really medicine for my soul.
And I was right there in between, just graduated from AIT the week prior when my mom passed I was only 19
All 3 of you are brave warriors and this world is better with you in it. The fact that you feel love so deeply is what we need more of. My heart goes out to you all for the sorrow ❤
i think it’s time to drop another album zach ❤️ plus the fact that he’s recording this on his phone too is just pure talent
this is probably one of the most beautiful songs he dropped in awhile
Two in one day is a blessing
Does anyone else like this way more than the album version
this version is 10000x better and i can’t listen to it on spotify ☹️
I’ve listened to this 100x..thanks zb for sticking to your roots brother
Today I wrote a song for the first time in a long time. No one will ever hear it, but it was still fun and freeing. Thanks for inspiring me, Zach. You have no idea what a large part you have played in my life the last couple of years.
Some of the best artists dont even release their music, they share it with loved ones, and friends. i encourage you to do so if your uncomfortable sharing it with the rest of the world
Haha ima try this I have a way with words but can’t speak I bite down on my tongue
🎉
This version is 10x better than the once he just released
I absolutely love how raw this is. The phone falling but still going on. This man is one of my favs of all time
Zach’s new album is gonna make me go out in an empty field and just sit and cry soaking in all the lyrics
I’m soaking
Zach just casually releasing these at the most random times this lovely thursday☺️
I came here after watching the video of you giving that unwell lady the guitar, it touched me to see such kindness. It's acts such as these that make this world seem just a little brighter.
I’ll touch you
I love this guy flaws and all I'm a Colombian American born in NY identity has been all over the place but I give ppl grace from there mistakes because god knows I've made mines but I love this country and the people who love it ❤
So... Im a hard core rocker who has made fun of country and it's fans most of my life. I didn't 'get' it. But then I experienced true loss. The love of my life left me 3-23-24 and man, I get it now. Zach, honest to God, you have held me together these last 6 weeks. I've been in an inconceivable amount of pain, a pain I'm not sure I can continue to bear, but sitting in the dark, crying, listening to your music and knowing I'm not alone in this pain, that others have felt it, that others have made it through... That has kept me from making a permanent decision. You have a raw, genuine talent and you write of feelings and experiences and coping with them in a way one so young shouldnt be able to... You have genuinely helped so many people get through the toughest times in their life, and you have quite literally helped saved mine ❤ I just want to to know the impact you've had. We don't just like your music, we need it.
2:14 😂😂😂😂
2 throwback releases in a day? Zach you didn’t have to bless us like this. Always know how to get them serotonin levels skyrocketing!
He getting us ready for the album drop
@WeaponX1234another album?! Noooo..
@ReinandRaelynn Supposed to come out in June. Zach is a mad man.
@ComedyBros5 thats insane
@ReinandRaelynn I hope he takes his time and doesn't let quality dip. His level of output has been incredible.
The released version just came out and this version is way better
28 is the number of wealth. God bless everyone watching this with abundance and love.
Who is here acts the album is dropped to reminisce the better version
Such a heartfelt, emotional, and nostalgic song. Zach keeps providing he is someone special!
I can't wait till this is out on streaming platforms
Phone fallin over shoukd be iconic, this man is giving us pure talent and real music with the simplest tools, what a legend
How does this only have 500+ views? I must have 300 of those views just by myself . The world needs to hear this
I can literally feel the emotion in every song you write. This is another good song 😭
Been trying to teach myself this on piano. Didn't realize he had made such a simple original version, lol
The imagery. The story telling. The emotion. The piano. Please never change Zach. You music has gotten me through some of my lowest and darkest days. I genuinely started tearing up when I heard this and I can't wait for the album. All love
I love you get the sound of the sustain pedal being released and depressed as the phone is directly on the piano. So raw. Totally here for it.
when the camera falls😭
Let the Muse entertain us. Thank you Zach for your gift of Music. I appreciate you my friend, God bless !❤
I could hear the extra instruments already
So real for leaving the phone falling down
I like how he didn’t reshoot the video and just went with it.
Zach’s RUclips still feels like a sweet nostalgic secret❤️
This song is for everyone who's going through something and I love you all
This dude could sing the phone book and it would be great but good lord, what a song writer!!!!
The phone falling was the cherry on top
I remember when headed south had less than a thousand veiws
The camera 😂
who else got full body chills? just me
i swear zach you always come out with stuff right when I need it
Turned 28 last week
Zach I don’t know if you are going to see this but this songs so good it made me cry…
Album coming soon🤞🏻🤞🏻🙏🏻
This is better than the album
Pink skies say why
If the phone doesn’t fall over in the vid is it still a Zach piano vid?
I can never get enough of your songs sometimes it makes me wanna get back on the road and travel, sometimes I listen, and I wanna cry and think of the past in my life and everything that was beautiful and a tragedy all at the same time. If There’s anything that comes from this bold coiled, beautiful part of us that is thriving to feel or not feel explore or go inside or go to your back porch and close your eyes the celestial magnetic ways you tie it all together is unreachable but reached. I hope you know what your music of the kindness and your voice And the beauty that you share your heart music runs through my family. Every bit of music sounds vibrations perfectly entwined is a universal language. I hope everybody has the blessing of coming across everything that you put out there. It hits deep and for the people that are thriving to feel this is where they need to be right now. Thank you For coming into my life. I’m nodding my head, smiling tears in my eyes, but the emotion is an echo that will travel through the universe forever…. again thank you.
Talk text I hope the things I said came out correctly lol beautiful work. I love this video you put out by the way.
This is so genuine. Heck, all of Zach’s music is. Thanks for continuing to keep it real, Zach.
This its literally my favorite song
the camera falling couldn’t have been more perfect
2:15 LMAO the phone recording just flips over
We truly do not deserve this man. The odds of living in the same lifetime as him, just incredible. Thank you for sharing your talent and life with us ❤️
Horse lady
The camera falling was lowkey cool
So raw n wonderful. “how lucky are we. It’s been a hell of a week…”
Phone falling was impeccable
Dear Zach, Really beautiful song, I wish you would publish this. The words touch me a lot because I lost my mother 4 years ago and now I'm going through a separation. You are a great songwriter, you have no idea how much good you are doing with your music.
You know its a banger when the camera falls
Need this on spotify asap!
Music so good the phone fell over
Here we go ! Screw the studio, this raw stuff is what i miss.
Love how the phone/camera fell and they didn’t even notice they are just playing from the Heart. ♥️
HOW do you not bawl every time you perform?!
Tears just pour out of me when I hear basically all of your songs.
THANK YOU
Don't ever disrespect me with an emphysema whistle
Hey Zach thank you so much for making a song on my favourite number. I lost my dad on the 28th Jan of2023, the person I admired the most. Since then I have started wearing 28 on every Jersey I owned and keep myself away from boozing every 28th of the month and yes I'm 28 now. This song will be with forever now till the day I'm gone too. 28 is forever in my heart.
too random of a thursday night to be dropping this heat
My first Zach release since being a fan is a better feeling than I could’ve imagined
Doesn’t nirvana have a flow like this 💕😍
Zach Bryan is going places whenever he sings he makes me feel better❤
Who's here in 2048?
Love how unique all his new songs are sounding, growing and evolving his music and I’m here for it brotha
Lost a great friend recently. This song seems to help.
Sorry for your loss, music always helps
Zach Bryan is the greatest.
Literally what are the odds that he drops a song called 28 on my 28th birthday 😅💕
The man can write
I love you guys..
U2
🎉
Man Zach Bryan has got me thru it I never listened to county or any music close and man Zach Bryan hits different every song he has comes from heart can’t wait to see him live here at the end of the month!
The phone fainted, but I would too if I was sitting there taking that in.
45 seconds is crazy... love you zlb happy late late birthday
Life's been rough for us all to say the least... But at least we have you....
Hope you see this Zach.but I am the 😮 guy who help find 😮 Ollie.I can't thank you enough for what you did for me . From one veteran to another thank you.
Stop the cap your js saying this for attention bro
The phone drop again lol
Because of Zach Bryan I've been saved by God ! 🙏 something about his music calms my SOUL !!!
most talented man alive
28 years of blood pumping through me to get to this evening with you 🔥
Zach. You have helped heal the depths of my bones. Your lyrics, emotion, vulnerability and poetry have helped me remove layers and layers of pain and trauma and given voice to a part of me that was hidden and beat down. I thought music was dead and there were no more real artists. Then I found you, Tyler Childers and Colter Wall. Thank you for these gifts you give of yourself
Z and B forever
