I’ve listened to every version of this song and when you look at it as a songwriter, it is pretty much a perfect song. It is so honest and it takes a tremendous amount of courage to dig that deep. It’s also a piece of technical songwriting genius. Not a wasted word and each line telling you far more than it says . John Prine and Kris Kristofferson . One’s gone and the other is not performing well. I thank God for Traviis.He has filled the empty part of me that feeds my soul with his unabashed honesty’ and incredible writing skills Thank you Travis.
I believe that those that suffer in this life will be Redeemed in the next. God loves an authentic and honest heart, and a good Country song. Travis, I wish you all the best. What a talent!!
I just purchased a canadian made Art and Luthier solid body Parlour guitar, you inspired me Travis, I played a lot in my younger days then chose to have 5 children and lost the time , you brought me back
Only found this dude recently when sideways came up on my RUclips page,, All the best as most interesting people learn life the hard way in my opinion just like Travis. I could listen to his story’s and songs all night!!! Loved that line, I had a bad day that lasted 6 years 🙂 I wish him continued happiness and the recognition he deserves.
Travis is a real brother in affliction and speaks from deep within from experience, not only of his own but from all of ours. Shine on brother! Shine brighter unto the perfect day! 🥰 Love ya bro, so glad our paths crossed over here in the "Mysterious Waters of Wakulla Springs, " we're all Risers only by the grace of our Good Sheperd and Lord. Keep on keepin' on! Sing It, Live It & Give It! Thanks again for helping so many of us underdogs too!
I'm being dead serious when I say if you hear this guy and don't feel the pain and struggle and compassion and survivor and can relate your life problems to the lyrics in his music...I don't know what to tell you man. I really don't. Phenomenal story teller.
This was/is such an amazing performance by one of the greatest of all time!!! So much pain & beauty in his playing & storytelling it blows me away!!! I relate far to much but he gives me strength to keep pushing on!!! Thank you sincerely! 🙌😎🔥🔥🔥
The down vote needs to re-evaluate their life, this artist deserves nothing but praise. Great voice and great story of redemption and recovery. Pulling for you Mr. Meadows, country music radio is going to find you eventually. and the music world will be better when it does
I love Travis Meadows, and upvote a million times. But let people like what they like." Wno are we to tell them to "re-evaluate their lives?" How rude and arrogant to say such a thing. Detracts from all the good things the rest of us have to say about Travis. For shame.
I couldn't agree more with you, my friend. He is a treasure. I appreciate his raw and genuine nature, which can resonate with a multitude of souls I am sure.
Travis, your stories remind me of my dad. He was in the program and he passed in 2015. I hope y’all get to meet up some day in Heaven 💛 anyway love your heart - stripped down and beautifully broken. God bless you!
That's amazing when an artist can play two instruments at the same time blows me away. And he is in a good place in his life while singing this song. Being thankful for the good times afterwards is a great feeling.
God bless travis meadows. I heard riser and learned how to play it immediately. I may do the same with many other of his songs. He's an amazing soul and song writer.
20:44 I Love to hear that... He's so real and honest and raw and relatable... Thanks Travis. Please don't ever leave God, Travis. He Blesses you with a gift and we love you for it.
The dynamics in this set are bliss! I am grateful to have run across this most amazing soul. Thank you Travis! Your gift of hitting the nail on the head is much needed in this realm of humanity. Much love and many more blessings and new days 🌺🐞🐝🍄🍀
You know it's sad that we live in such a move on to the next thing era.. 25k views and only 74 people can take a second to comment Well I'll be 75.. This Guy is Amazing!! I have been looking as a songwriter myself for inspiration and just when I thought I turned over the final stone..Boom! There He Is.. Love this Man!.. I am truly inspired
I can relate to this guys story on many levels after listening to his interview with Andrea Stolpe, it's making me rethink the path i've been musically for the past 16 years.

Travis sings from experience. Genuine and awesome.
Correct. Sad that experience makes these musicians exceptional in expressing their experiences but it does. Fantastic guy, songwriter and singer.
Only 551 LIKES in 3 years? Wow! Should be over a million at least.

Thank you Travis you helped me through some tough times!!
Long way from my front porch in mississppi 30 years ago, playing in a band with my brother. Always new he was very talented!!!
Lucky you, Mike! That front porch must have a whole lot of music in it's walls!
That's really some cool memories made.
Very fortunate. Does your brother still play?
Absolutely incredible!! Makes my caring side come out. Just want to hold him!!!
This was/is such an amazing performance by one of the greatest of all time!!! So much pain & beauty in his playing & storytelling it blows me away!!! I relate far to much but he gives me strength to keep pushing on!!! Thank you sincerely! 🙌😎🔥🔥🔥

Wow!!! What a talent! Where has this guy been hiding!!! Embarrassed Ive never heard of him before. Fan for sure.
Outstanding songwriter,singer, regardless of his past,especially the cancer, still a big cut above the dozens of writer/singers,more like S Simpson!!
As a scrolled thru the comments it’s remarkable that so many people like me just recently discovered Travis. Hooked on every song he sings.
Love this guy's heart. He's the real deal. You can't manufacture that kind of experience. Powerful!
Such an inspiration. Such a great singer songwriter. Deserves to be better known.
Looking for anything by Travis Meadows... moves my soul, heals my tears, as he brings them slowly into the light. Gracias, amigo!
Touched with....IT. incredible talent, God given troubadour.

Travis Meadows you are a talent and inspiration beyond words. Very relevant and resonating lyrics

Amen❗️❗️❗️
Love this. Reminds me very much of Amos Lee.
HERE IS THE COMPLETE LIST OF COUNTRY ARTISTS AS GOOD AS TRAVIS MEADOWS----- CHRIS STAPELTON. OKAY--- THA'T'S IT.
An artist I would like to see live...and maybe in Sweden!
Wow.
Wonderful, and thanks for telling the story of how “Sideways” (my new favorite song) came to be composed
💕
Dig it!
FYI - I couldn't watch this on my droid, it wouldn't pull up. Had to turn on my MacBook. I respect Travis Meadows songs :-)
three chords and the truth
Funny how behind all the great artists are even greater ones writing their songs.
I can’t find a download for his “Riser,” which I find much more compelling than Dirks Bentley’s cover.
Michael Palmisano did an appropiate reaction video to the first song "Sideways": ruclips.net/video/WC4Ei1I1ZNU/видео.html
Hope he is having a successful recovery from his recent medical issues. He had disc surgery in his neck that caused some major vocal issues.
Can we get this on vinyl please
The whole recording
What open tuning you using
the music sounds like i shall be released by dylan? no?
I like how no one knew Jake Owen covered this man's song.
Left handed… never knew…
Love your music,but it appears you still got habits
