I'm hoping me and my daughter can cover this song personally I like white house road a little better this one has hammer ons that are cool and to sing it in that key requires a capo when I was younger I didn't think i needed one but for songs like Wonderwall and Landslide or even Brian Adam's run to you
@@jamierick674 we haven’t been asked that before I don’t think but it’s on Bandcamp for download if that helps and that could he put on a CD I would think
I had this song on repeat in rehab and early recovery, it's gotten me through alot to say the least! Almost 7 months opiate free.... thanks Tyler Update: ill have 3 years from opiates in march 💪 thanks for the support guys
Sep 3 I took my LAST dose of methadone. Time to walk the dog on this life. Congratulations. Not a better feel than betting something you thought was undefeateable.
I just discovered this man's music today im 99 days sober and have lost so much and suffered alot of loss. My baby momma died from an OD she gave me 2 beautiful babies. Ill live for them and make sure they remember the good mother she was. Good song
“Takes twice as long to build bridges you burned” Edit: thanks for the likes guys, that line hit home so much during a hard time of getting clean from heroine, think im finally making a breakthrough with a relationship with my family again ❤
Dj Burdon that line has more meaning than an ex girlfriend... if you know someone who is a drug addict or are one yourself then you will understand what he means about burning bridges.
Found out a month ago my old man had a tumor in his urinary tract. They scheduled surgery end of the month to remove it and had a follow up appointment yesterday to see how things were. Sister called me last night with vague info about bladder cancer and needing seven more surgeries and chemo over the next three years. Life has given me gut punch after gut punch but I don’t know what I’ll do without my old man. This line definitely brought tears to my eyes on my way to work.
If these lyrics don't haunt you, either you didn't live them or you're too far gone. If you didn't live them, don't look down on those who did. If you're too far gone, come back my brother, as long as you're still breathing you've still got a chance..
This song alone saved my life, I was ina hole you couldn’t climb out of alone from a lifetime of hard drugs and violence. Tyler spoke to my soul and that’s something I never thought I’d ever say but here I am 4 yrs later sober and thriving
Words can’t describe what this song means to me. My daddy worked in pike county in the mines, and he also hurt his back and had to quit working. He was a very wise and humble man, and always gave the same advice to me and my brother. He passed away January 1st of this year, and when I miss him I listen to this. Thank you so much for writing this, it’s as if me and my brother wrote this for our dad. Coal mining daddy’s are the best ❤️
"Well keep in mind that a man is just as good as his word, it takes twice as long to build bridges you've burnt, and there's hurt you can cause time alone cannot heal." These words are the reason I'm 5 days clean from heroin
I'm doing great, kind of feeling lost in this life at times. 8 years is a long time to be gone, but ill figure it out. Appreciate your guy's kind words.
Don't give up bro! Honestly the first year or year in a half even I felt pretty lost too cravings will come and go for that first year too, im about 3 and a half years sober from heroin keep up the good shit dude
Rip that ⚓ off you brother your young 🌱 go And live your life in true freedom.and not chained to what holds us and drowns us bottle by bottle.Until ones mind is blind 🦮 and we can't come to realization that we are truly drowning ourselves slowly.mind over physical strength always.congratulations keep it up bro .🎉
Brother you don't need anyone to applaud you or put you down. You are on your own journey now. Living for yourself for the first time. I know that you can decide to do whatever you want. Don't let anyone get in-between you and your mindset. You were created for a reason, whether it was God or the universe or whatever. You belong here and u are a valued brother. You exist because you were supposed to exist. I wish u all the best in your journey
Respect to you brother, I just left the industry up in nsw last week, to be home with my family, mates and alike, probably will always question the decision. Long days and nights away got the best of me, best of luck to you mate
I just found this song a couple of weeks ago and my friends are like "man why are you playing that all the time" They don't understand why a black man would be listening to this. I said there's just some music that touches your soul.
I thought i didnt like country. As a Hispanic i never really grew up around it other than what id hear on tv and i thought thats what country was. Then i got older and absolutely fell in love and eventually started listening to real country music
This song hits home for me Been clean 7 years and my nose is on the grind stone Started my own company and have 100% growth in customers for 4 years straight #nosetothegrindstone
Both my parents have battled addiction all 19 years of my life. My mom still occasionally relapses, but my father has been clean for about 7 years now. One thing I learned from them is to not go down that rabbit hole. And if their is something missing in your heart fill it with working.
Right on buddy! Awesome to hear I've been cleaning up for about a year now and that's my dream, to own and operate my own pest control company Even IF it's a one-man show
The fact that this man doesn't need a drummer, back up singer, 2 guitarist, and auto toner shows humanity what real talent is. Why is Mr. Childers never on the radio?
Painful and hard times befall everyone it's not segregated to race or ethnicity. Tyler's lyrics and raw emotions can resonate with any one who's struggled.
That stuff you hear now isn't real country music, it's hick hop. This is country music, the music of our country from in the people in the rural country.
Stuff now a days is stadium country music. There is only a handful of good country singers today that play good stuff. I listen to the old country music like bluegrass, outlaw country, country blues and country- folk. I hear people say they hate country a lot, but they usually don't realize how many genres of country there is.
“It takes twice as long to build bridges you’ve burnt, And there’s hurt you can cause, time alone cannot heal”..... scary how music can just pinpoint exactly what’s in your heart
Covered this song during a gig at a local bar and every soul in that whole damn joint was completely silent and listening. I truly believe that is how you tell whether or not a song is good. The fact that it can quiet 40 or so people is amazing.
I found this song today, brought me to tears. I am a recovering addict. Started with pills and moved to crack and heroin. I am blessed I recovered, that I’m still alive. So many bridges burned, so many lies. But no more! Just loving life! Thank you god.
There is something so raw and real about Tyler's music. It's haunting. The combination of his lyrics with his voice and delivery is almost overpowering sometimes. Hits you like a ton of bricks. A real country outlaw. He already belongs on the country outlaw Mt Rushmore with Williams, Cash Haggard and Jennings.
Best description I've heard yet. I don't even have an addiction problem and I'm not the son of a coal miner but this song nearly brings me to tears every time I hear it.
The first lines had me hooked. The voice, the guitar, the song-writing... just shows that there is still real, raw music left in this world. keep your heads up friends, music isn't dead :)
karlawson the music is as old as the Ozarks and the blue ridge mountains from Tennessee to Virginia a few hundred yrs. maybe more , the mountaineers have been playing this folksy blue grass type music. he is really good I'm digging it.
Im from Tennessee and i just caught wind of this! He needs publicity!! Hard to get around these mountains y'all... There's alot of great musicians around here....
Congratulations my friend, you’ve found real country music. If I may suggest, Sturgill Simpson, Benjamin Tod, Colter Wall. Max Gomez, Charley Crockett. Jamie Johnson. Whitey Morgan and the 78’s, to name a few. All great artists who are keeping the real sound alive. Can’t go wrong with any one of those names.
Being born, raised and still living in Appalachia (and going back generations)not all that far from where Tyler is from, this song hits so hard and brings me to tears. He is definitely the musical voice of Appalachia for my generation and I’m so glad to see him getting the recognition he deserves.
I lost my dad in June 2023. It's been a tough year. We have a baby on the way and I Wish he was here. I have been sober for about 5 years, and this song reminds me so much of why I am sober today. To anyone struggling with addiction or seeing family and friend's struggling with addiction, just keep up on them and they COULD pull through. Addiction changes people, but you are not who your addiction made you to be. Theres someone in there, just gotta get to them.
"Daddy worked like a mule... Well he fucked up his back and couldnt work anymore"... I saw my old man fade away from old age, a hard life, and Agent Orange in his blood from Vietnam. Cant help but cry when Tyler sings these words
This is what music should be all about... we're talking about a man , a young humble man, standing in a room singing about love, hardship , pain... a man sharing his experience to the world asking for nothing but recognition... there is no vanity present, there are no watches, cars, suits, jewelry or women... he doesn't focus on what he has , he's just grateful to have it, he focusses on the sacrifices it took to get to where he is and in allowing other people to find a connection ...
I never thought I would ever find a country song/artist that I actually liked. Was listening to Rage Against the Machine Pandora and this song came on. Still kinda baffles me as to why it did, but I'm thankful I was introduced to such a great talent.
My Dad past away 7 years ago from lung cancer, he worked under ground in Hazard ky for about 40 years he was drafted for the military and served in the army from 1967-1969 this song really hits home sure do miss and love my hard working Dad :( miss you old man!
I remember the first time I came across this song, I was high as a kite on opiates, any kind I could get my hands on whether it was H or oxy or whatever. I heard this song and that line….”keep your nose on the grindstone and outta the pills”…..and I bawled. I wanted out of that addiction so bad but I was in so deep. Within a week of listening to that song every day….I checked myself into detox and rehab. It was the absolute worst two weeks of my life. I was at risk of having a stroke or a heart attack because it was so bad. Had to be medically supervised around the clock. BP of 180/130. I don’t know how I didn’t die. But I came out of that detox…..and I haven’t looked back since. I just got 2 years clean and sober this past July. And honestly…thank you Tyler. Thank you.
Mr. Tyler, I doubt you read these comments, but maybe you do. Just wanted to let you know how deep this song is for so many fathers and sons in the society this country has become.
This song was always playing in rehab, been 3 months sober and still play this with a smile on my face. Tyler Childress is awesome and very helpful with recovery.
I honestly believe that tyler is the most underrated country artist out right now.. this is so simple and so beautiful. in an age where true artists are becoming more and more rare.. this stands out so wonderfully
Im a native american/african american 21 year old man who was adopted by white parents and have been struggling with a substance addiction on and off for 4 years. I found this song a year ago, showed to me by a co worker who had been raised in a different way than I. I was raised with some country music, but I generally don't partake. Music does not discriminate between race, color, or creed. When a man or woman is singing from the soul, it resonates to those who seek the same truth: We are all humans, and humans make mistakes. But it takes true humility to accept that you have to take accountability for your actions, and the only way to have the strength to do that is asking God for help. And God is good, so any potential good you see in others is God working through them.
This song sums up the soul of Eastern Kentucky like none other. Those misty mountains can comfort you but they can also make you feel alone when you’re deep in the throws of an addiction. Alcohol and cocaine nearly killed me but I found a way out. I pray for all my brothers and sisters still lost in the madness may they find some peace one day.
Ain't the truth. Pike co born and raised. 16 yrs if addiction. Took going to prison and losing my wife, kids and everything to straighten up and move to central KY to get away. 8yrs clean
@TylerChilders-qn5hv damn straight. I am very picky about music and artists too! Lol, seriously, I can tell all of your songs are from the heart and you have some experience with all that you write. You have also re inspired me and taught me a lot about playing the guitar. 😤🐐
I can't believe how much this song has moved me. I'm Mexican and don't do country but there is something about this song that has touched my soul! Tyler Childers u r amazing and have a talent to touch souls of all human beings. ❤
Yellowstone brought me here. I have listened to many more of his videos. What a song, lyrics and performance. I just love this simple sound with a profound message.
I sent this to my Dad back when I was trying to get clean. Spent 10 years a slave to that drug. This coming February I'll be 3 years sober from those damn pills! 😁
I played this song over and over and over. I learned all the words, the tone, each pause. Decided to get sober that was about 18 months ago. Music can heal.
I'm a recovering/relapsing alcoholic with my first kid on the way. I play this on my guitar and I look at myself in the mirror. I'll get there and this helps
try this playlist, some more songs to play in the mirror. Hit play all. Pray your still sober and your child safe. ruclips.net/p/PLqw0QTGb4ssLHuGnPm6bR8JJGS3NQCF_z
Recovering opiate addict, don’t know what it is but his voice his lyrics, it hits me hard every time. I’m either crying or getting shivers. 5 years today, keep the lord in your heart and you’ll have nothing to fear 🙏🏻❤️
Addiction runs strong in my family, luckily I’m not in a hole. This song hits me every time as well. I can hear the pain and sincerity in his voice and music. Hope you stay well
We all need to find why we let people help us !! Iam a great drug addict and alcoholic!! Could never been better at what I do if I didn’t have the ones that love me !!! Or help !!! Bottom line !!! Know who you are because addiction does not !! Or the ones that love you
"Keep the Lord in your heart and you'll have nothing to fear." True my man true. God Bless you for this. May God Bless your career and the message of his undying love for us.
How am I just discovering Tyler Childers? His voice is outstanding! So soulful and raw…gives one chills. I could play any of his songs on repeat for hours on end.
Man im busting my ass raising 3 girls by myself my mom was my only help I lost her in August 2023 I’m at the port of Baltimore I’m praying my girls be fine when I leave here brother! I salute all the men who don’t give up ! Men are not just available we are necessary it’s too much going on today! I pray I can make it it’s hard bro I can’t stop I won’t stop 23 years working with sciatic nerve damage I can’t take a break bc we won’t make it I’m going to keep going I’m praying my oldest start working in 2 yrs man this song is the best song I’ve heard in years it’s me it’s the hard working men true Americans!
I thought i could keep it together, never heard this song before, i was wrong. Some pain we carry so long we forget about it and think its gone. I guess it never went away in the first place.
Not all of us Fathers forgot the old ways. Two sons I'm very proud of. 20 and 19 shaping up to be fine men. They are out there my man. Know a few more just like them.
This is, uh, "Nose to the Grindstone" Hold on Daddy worked like a mule minin' Pike County coal 'Til he fucked up his back and couldn't work anymore He said one of these days you'll get out of these hills Keep your nose on the grindstone and out of the pills See, the ways of this world will just bring you to tears Keep the Lord in your heart, and you'll have nothin' to fear Live the best that you can and don't lie and don't steal Keep your nose on the grindstone and out of the pills Well Daddy, I've been tryin', I just can't catch a break There's too much in this world that I can't seem to shake But I remember your words, Lord, they bring me the chills Keep your nose on the grindstone and out of the pills Keep in mind that a man's just as good as his word It takes twice as long to build bridges you've burnt And there's hurt you can 'cause time alone cannot heal Keep your nose on the grindstone and out of the pills Well Daddy, I've been tryin', I just can't catch a break There's too much in this world I can't seem to shake But I remember your words, Lord, they bring me to chills Keep your nose on the grindstone and out of the pills Keep your nose on the grindstone
“Keep in mind that a man is just as good as his word, it takes twice as long to build bridges you burn, and there’s hurt you can cause, time alone can’t heal” never heard truer words
Songs like a lesson from my dad, broke his back at work, got addicted to pills. He was an Olympian and became an abusive drug addict. He taught me many things as i grew up and became a man, a man is just as good as his word. I had my own issues, but I keep my nose on the grindstone now.
This will forever make me think of Dad. He never mined. But being told every day for first half of my life to keep my nose go the grind stone still plays in my head
One thing I notice on every comment section of a music video, everyone comes together and spreads love. That's unity. Music is magic. We all feel the same pain no matter what we look like. Much love to yall.
Born and raised in Nashville. Can’t tell you how nice it is to hear real music again. Tyler, Colter Wall, Sturgill Simpson, etc.. saving country music one song at a time.
I'm older but I'll say this. Real music used to say real words. We called it folk music but it bled over into mainstream country. Like Gordon lightfoot etc. THIS... Gives me hope that a new generation will continue to make real songs and music. Commercial America has lost its cultural roots. This is great.
@@willhaywood3010 still clean haven't slipped once. When I posted this comment I honestly didn't think I would make it. Thank you for reminding me of this comment I use my length of sobriety as a addition now.
You have no clue how much your song has helped me stay straight headed after my pops passed and work is heavy af while tryna maintain and be a good husband and dad. Thank you for this song bro fr.
Late to this. Found it this week. Hits me like a tornado every time. 43 years old and one of the most beautiful songs I've ever heard. Puts tears in my eyes every listen. It's helping me through some really hard times as well. Needless to say, huge Tyler Childers fan at this point. And, tears in my eyes again.
From Oklahoma! Don't ever sell out bud. Your music brings a ring to my ear. My family is from West Virginia my grandma and grandad got out of there thanks to the air Force. Both of my great grandads died from black lung. it's beautiful country and we still have family there.
"Keep in mind that a man's just as good as his word. It takes twice as long to build the bridges you've burned. And there is hurt you can cause time alone cannot heal. Keep your nose on the grindstone & out of the pills." Words to live by.
This is true country. This is what should be played on the radio instead of “country” today. This song as many others of his songs have powerful messages.
My dad introduced me to this song while we were in the line for chickfila. We had to wait in that line for an hour, just to be told that it would take another half before anyone could order, so we just drove over the curb and went to McDonalds instead, unfortunately. I may not be the closest with my dad, but it's these little moments that make it very clear he loves me, and even if I refuse to admit it sometimes, I love him.
Just discovered this guy today thanks once again to RUclips. Lord have mercy, every song I've listened to so far has been so.. Ah screw it, words can't express it. Y'all know what I'm talking about. You'll never hear this on the radio either.. It's way to good.
Im 12th generation Irish/American, born and raised in the Southern Appalachians and Tyler Childers songs touch nerves that only a man born and raised in these hills can touch. Long live Southern Appalachia!
I may not be an addict but growing up without a father to tell me these kind of things to be a better man makes me feel a ways. Listening to this song made me break today. So grateful for talent
If you liked this one, check out our full session with Tyler here! ruclips.net/video/LQp5xqs6-ww/видео.htmlsi=0MHtyRD-R314VMAl
Is this session available for purchase on CD?
I'm hoping me and my daughter can cover this song personally I like white house road a little better this one has hammer ons that are cool and to sing it in that key requires a capo when I was younger I didn't think i needed one but for songs like Wonderwall and Landslide or even Brian Adam's run to you
There’s pop radio country 🤢the there’s THIS, real country. This is what they meant by real country.
@@jamierick674 we haven’t been asked that before I don’t think but it’s on Bandcamp for download if that helps and that could he put on a CD I would think
It's true, this is the country my Dad raised me on and really reminds me of both of us😢❤
Apparently I like country music now 👌🏼
That's not country.. it's more like 1920's heavy metal!! Lol
Tyler Childers and Sierra Ferrell have recently caused me to get very in to "country"
I had this song on repeat in rehab and early recovery, it's gotten me through alot to say the least! Almost 7 months opiate free.... thanks Tyler
Update: ill have 3 years from opiates in march 💪 thanks for the support guys
Keep strong
Keep that shit far from you. You need just yourself. Focus on what you like. Focus on the better man you can be.
Sep 3 I took my LAST dose of methadone. Time to walk the dog on this life. Congratulations. Not a better feel than betting something you thought was undefeateable.
@Big Hush that's awesome, pulling for you man. Stay strong
I been a few years from oxy. Turned to likker. Sucks Back pain and three surgeries.
The way he says "Daddy I've been trying I just can't catch a break" always send shivers
You too huh? Tyler has quite a few lyrics that give me chills....His words remind me of my kid's Dad,may he rest in peace. We love you Kurt Rist!!
Literally
I am a fan. I love your voice
I have to sing it every time. I have only had a handful of songs really touch me over the years. Tyler has half a dozen.
The way he says “daddy I been tryin I just can’t catch a break..” or almost everything. Great guy.
I just discovered this man's music today im 99 days sober and have lost so much and suffered alot of loss. My baby momma died from an OD she gave me 2 beautiful babies. Ill live for them and make sure they remember the good mother she was. Good song
So sorry for your loss. Music is such a powerful force, we hope Tyler's tunes can help.
Broken window serenade, Whiskey myers
Keep your head up, them babies need you so damn much. Be the man you know you can be
im literaly so happy for u ^^ i wish you the best luck
God bless you good soul!
“Takes twice as long to build bridges you burned”
Edit: thanks for the likes guys, that line hit home so much during a hard time of getting clean from heroine, think im finally making a breakthrough with a relationship with my family again ❤
Never heard that Andrew it's cool
Dion Paschini well listen to the song you might
Dj Burdon that line has more meaning than an ex girlfriend... if you know someone who is a drug addict or are one yourself then you will understand what he means about burning bridges.
I never crossed a bridge I have not burned
Yes sir .... Beyond true !!
"Daddy I been tryin', I just can't catch a break...." Man that line hits me right in the feels. This is what music is supposed to be.
Hits me hard
That line still hits me hard. I lost my dad two weeks ago and now it brings me to tears every time.
Amen Brother
Found out a month ago my old man had a tumor in his urinary tract. They scheduled surgery end of the month to remove it and had a follow up appointment yesterday to see how things were. Sister called me last night with vague info about bladder cancer and needing seven more surgeries and chemo over the next three years.
Life has given me gut punch after gut punch but I don’t know what I’ll do without my old man.
This line definitely brought tears to my eyes on my way to work.
@@CowboyBleepBlop Man I'll keep you and your dad in my prayers. Hang in there
All these years I thought I didn't like Country. Turns out I was just listening to the wrong Country music.
100%. There is a lot of amazing country... most if it you will never hear on the radio.
Waylon Jennings "i've always been crazy" ,live. 👍
Same brotha
There are two types of country you got Nashville country and red dirt country
Same here man same here
If these lyrics don't haunt you, either you didn't live them or you're too far gone. If you didn't live them, don't look down on those who did. If you're too far gone, come back my brother, as long as you're still breathing you've still got a chance..
Amen brother! Amen
I can hear in his voice, he's walked a lot of the same roads I have.
❤beautiful
That was beautifully put. Love from Ireland 🇮🇪
There is always hope... Doesn't matter how many times you've fucked up before.
Iv been clean for 5 years. Since the moment I watched my baby boys eyes open. This song sends shivers up my spine
Respect to you a true man
Way to be Brother.
3 years here.. Sends chills up mine too, man..
Yep it can change a man... I know
Never give up man.
I’m 21 years old I grew up on hip hop and rap. Here lately I’ve been trying to find new music, this is beautiful
About the same age brother. Look into Bluegrass music. I'm sure you'll find something!
Welcome home :)
Come on home, boy
So you grew up on shit. There's actually real music, such as this, out there.
Never stop lookin bud lol youll be amazed at some of the talent out there. TC is the real deal. Lol
This man carries the pain of Kentucky in his voice..
Please Mr. Childers..Do tell👂😔
Not Just Kentucky. LIFE!
Alabama too
I feel the same, Jacob. His music takes me back home, every time!
Arkansas
Im from Pike county , Kentucky and I feel his music in my very soul.
This song alone saved my life, I was ina hole you couldn’t climb out of alone from a lifetime of hard drugs and violence. Tyler spoke to my soul and that’s something I never thought I’d ever say but here I am 4 yrs later sober and thriving
Congrats, Cortlin! Keep it up.
You’re not alone my friend! God bless 🙏🏼
Keep it going man, it's hard but worth it! 👊
Isn't it crazy how nobody care that your sober. everyone's just waiting for the ball to drop
Life changes when a person comes sober for a long period of time.
Words can’t describe what this song means to me. My daddy worked in pike county in the mines, and he also hurt his back and had to quit working. He was a very wise and humble man, and always gave the same advice to me and my brother. He passed away January 1st of this year, and when I miss him I listen to this. Thank you so much for writing this, it’s as if me and my brother wrote this for our dad. Coal mining daddy’s are the best ❤️
Devin Baker That is awesome. We want to hear his advice if you’re willing to share.
I'm so sorry for your loss.
Everytime the lights turn on remember
Devin Baker I grew up in that area too. I moved away several years ago, but his music can always bring me back to the holler when I’m missin home.
God bless you ❤
"Well keep in mind that a man is just as good as his word, it takes twice as long to build bridges you've burnt, and there's hurt you can cause time alone cannot heal." These words are the reason I'm 5 days clean from heroin
We're so happy to hear that this song is helping you. We wish you luck in your recovery.
Hey how is your recovery going bud? God bless you, im super proud of you stepping up and keeping clean, that shit almost killed my brother.
Hope all is going well for you in your journey my friend. Praying you are still clean.
I'm doing great, kind of feeling lost in this life at times. 8 years is a long time to be gone, but ill figure it out. Appreciate your guy's kind words.
Don't give up bro! Honestly the first year or year in a half even I felt pretty lost too cravings will come and go for that first year too, im about 3 and a half years sober from heroin keep up the good shit dude
6 days no drinking. I hope i can come back to this comment when im older and see this.
Two months.
You got this bro.
One day at a time
Rip that ⚓ off you brother your young 🌱 go And live your life in true freedom.and not chained to what holds us and drowns us bottle by bottle.Until ones mind is blind 🦮 and we can't come to realization that we are truly drowning ourselves slowly.mind over physical strength always.congratulations keep it up bro .🎉

country fan all my life, the genre i was raised listening to. this has been ma fav song for a while
I am an Aussie coal miner, ache every day. We do it so our kids don’t have to. Bloody great song.
Thank you so much for you comment!!
Rock salt and nails is awesome too... Have you heard any Coulter Wall?
@@amandahart9366 oh yeah, got all his albums.
Respect to you brother, I just left the industry up in nsw last week, to be home with my family, mates and alike, probably will always question the decision. Long days and nights away got the best of me, best of luck to you mate
@@sgtsn1per you to brother, we’re about to be forced out. Still looking for a new gig who knows?
I just found this song a couple of weeks ago and my friends are like "man why are you playing that all the time" They don't understand why a black man would be listening to this. I said there's just some music that touches your soul.
This comment is truth...You can feel every word.
White black red yellow. Our souls don’t have color or form.
100%
Truth... some music just grabs your soul
I think it's about the soul with which one sings and writes, Temar. Love to you, brother.
between him and colter wall there is still hope for good music out there
Isaiah Williams Good music has never went away. Its just not being recognized
Joshua Stevens Sturgill, Cody, Shooter, Jamey, The Dead South, Steeldrivers. And good ole' Shotgun Willie is still at it.
Don't forget isbell
Sam Bjustrom8877u isbell is pretty good he just ain't got the style and grit
Whiskey Myers is good too
I thought i didnt like country. As a Hispanic i never really grew up around it other than what id hear on tv and i thought thats what country was. Then i got older and absolutely fell in love and eventually started listening to real country music
I highly recommend Little Sparrow by Dolly Parton. Absolutely divine. ❤️
This song hits home for me
Been clean 7 years and my nose is on the grind stone
Started my own company and have 100% growth in customers for 4 years straight
#nosetothegrindstone
GOD BLESS BROTHER!! Been clean since November 4 2019
Both my parents have battled addiction all 19 years of my life. My mom still occasionally relapses, but my father has been clean for about 7 years now. One thing I learned from them is to not go down that rabbit hole. And if their is something missing in your heart fill it with working.
Congrats!!
Congratulations. That is wonderful, take it one day at a time.♡
Right on buddy! Awesome to hear
I've been cleaning up for about a year now and that's my dream, to own and operate my own pest control company
Even IF it's a one-man show
The fact that this man doesn't need a drummer, back up singer, 2 guitarist, and auto toner shows humanity what real talent is.
Why is Mr. Childers never on the radio?
Beats me
They don't play real music on the radio
His music is just TOO DAMN REAL!
Same reason NF is not on the radio!!!
@@fabledbikeride9515 yea
You can hear the pain in his voice. Real unusual as a black person to listen to country but a lot more of of can relate to this than you think.
Nagee Cathey Mexican here 🙋♂️it’s like I can feel the pain
Painful and hard times befall everyone it's not segregated to race or ethnicity. Tyler's lyrics and raw emotions can resonate with any one who's struggled.
Sorrow and agony know do not know color..
That’s not true at all
It was a non Caucasian persuasion neighbor that suggested this song...hits the gut fs.
this is true country. full of passion and heart. you can feel the pain and the soul in the music. hard to find anything like this these days
Couldn't agree more! Glad you found this
This IS NOT Country, it's Appalachian Blue Grass.
Not really a country fan but this song needs to be on the radio... tired of hearing yeti coolers and lifted chevys
That stuff you hear now isn't real country music, it's hick hop. This is country music, the music of our country from in the people in the rural country.
Stuff now a days is stadium country music. There is only a handful of good country singers today that play good stuff. I listen to the old country music like bluegrass, outlaw country, country blues and country- folk. I hear people say they hate country a lot, but they usually don't realize how many genres of country there is.
Same brother. Wish radios would play more of The Dead South and stuff like this
Hate to break it to ya but if you like this..... You like country.
True country here ..I'll take this anyday over the stuff on the radio
“It takes twice as long to build bridges you’ve burnt,
And there’s hurt you can cause, time alone cannot heal”.....
scary how music can just pinpoint exactly what’s in your heart
Definitely agree 💯💜💚❤️
My favorite part of the song. Sooooo true.
Covered this song during a gig at a local bar and every soul in that whole damn joint was completely silent and listening. I truly believe that is how you tell whether or not a song is good. The fact that it can quiet 40 or so people is amazing.
You should post a vid of the cover
Id be really interested in watching that cover.
Me too
Same. Let’s hear it. ♥️
Jesus Christ loves you u
I found this song today, brought me to tears. I am a recovering addict. Started with pills and moved to crack and heroin. I am blessed I recovered, that I’m still alive. So many bridges burned, so many lies. But no more! Just loving life! Thank you god.
There is something so raw and real about Tyler's music. It's haunting. The combination of his lyrics with his voice and delivery is almost overpowering sometimes. Hits you like a ton of bricks. A real country outlaw. He already belongs on the country outlaw Mt Rushmore with Williams, Cash Haggard and Jennings.
"almost overpowering at times"
Ain't that the truth
Best description I've heard yet. I don't even have an addiction problem and I'm not the son of a coal miner but this song nearly brings me to tears every time I hear it.
Amen!
The first lines had me hooked. The voice, the guitar, the song-writing... just shows that there is still real, raw music left in this world. keep your heads up friends, music isn't dead :)
karlawson listen to colter wall
karlawson the music is as old as the Ozarks and the blue ridge mountains from Tennessee to Virginia a few hundred yrs. maybe more , the mountaineers have been playing this folksy blue grass type music. he is really good I'm digging it.
Im from Tennessee and i just caught wind of this! He needs publicity!! Hard to get around these mountains y'all... There's alot of great musicians around here....
Shovels and Rope too. There is good country these days and it lives on RUclips.
karlawson could you give us a listen ?
He started singing and I got chills all over my body,I thought I didn’t like country but I been listening to the wrong country
Congratulations my friend, you’ve found real country music. If I may suggest, Sturgill Simpson, Benjamin Tod, Colter Wall. Max Gomez, Charley Crockett. Jamie Johnson. Whitey Morgan and the 78’s, to name a few. All great artists who are keeping the real sound alive. Can’t go wrong with any one of those names.
@@ghostfox4 🗣🤙
It's southern rock dear
I think this is firmly in the folk category myself
@@babycaykzThis is not Southern Rock lmfao.
Being born, raised and still living in Appalachia (and going back generations)not all that far from where Tyler is from, this song hits so hard and brings me to tears. He is definitely the musical voice of Appalachia for my generation and I’m so glad to see him getting the recognition he deserves.
I lost my dad in June 2023. It's been a tough year. We have a baby on the way and I Wish he was here. I have been sober for about 5 years, and this song reminds me so much of why I am sober today. To anyone struggling with addiction or seeing family and friend's struggling with addiction, just keep up on them and they COULD pull through. Addiction changes people, but you are not who your addiction made you to be. Theres someone in there, just gotta get to them.
Stand Strong
"Daddy worked like a mule... Well he fucked up his back and couldnt work anymore"... I saw my old man fade away from old age, a hard life, and Agent Orange in his blood from Vietnam. Cant help but cry when Tyler sings these words
This is what music should be all about... we're talking about a man , a young humble man, standing in a room singing about love, hardship , pain... a man sharing his experience to the world asking for nothing but recognition... there is no vanity present, there are no watches, cars, suits, jewelry or women... he doesn't focus on what he has , he's just grateful to have it, he focusses on the sacrifices it took to get to where he is and in allowing other people to find a connection ...
Thanks so much for watching! Tyler is a real gem in this world, for all the reasons you mentioned. Thank you so much for the comment.
Jesus Christ loves you u
There's hurt you can cause time alone cannot heal! You have to be older to get that line. The fact that a kid wrote makes it even MORE amazing!
Yes. Tyler is an old soul. It's scary good.
I never thought I would ever find a country song/artist that I actually liked. Was listening to Rage Against the Machine Pandora and this song came on. Still kinda baffles me as to why it did, but I'm thankful I was introduced to such a great talent.
This is Appalachian mountain music
It's a glitch in the matrix
Good on you for recognizing.
John Doe l
came up for me on my Punch Bros. Pandora channel. awesome tune.
My Dad past away 7 years ago from lung cancer, he worked under ground in Hazard ky for about 40 years he was drafted for the military and served in the army from 1967-1969 this song really hits home sure do miss and love my hard working Dad :( miss you old man!
I remember the first time I came across this song, I was high as a kite on opiates, any kind I could get my hands on whether it was H or oxy or whatever. I heard this song and that line….”keep your nose on the grindstone and outta the pills”…..and I bawled. I wanted out of that addiction so bad but I was in so deep. Within a week of listening to that song every day….I checked myself into detox and rehab. It was the absolute worst two weeks of my life. I was at risk of having a stroke or a heart attack because it was so bad. Had to be medically supervised around the clock. BP of 180/130. I don’t know how I didn’t die. But I came out of that detox…..and I haven’t looked back since. I just got 2 years clean and sober this past July. And honestly…thank you Tyler. Thank you.
Dude poured out his heart and soul and some fucking creep in the comments is pretending to be Tyler.
Fuck man.
Saying a prayer for you!
sometimes the bravest thing you can do is to ask for help. glad to see it
So so so happy for you… don’t know you… but love you
Awesome.. keep on KEEPING ON!! Check out the song "MY ADDICTION" by Lines of Loyalty... Some songs just hit home...
Mr. Tyler, I doubt you read these comments, but maybe you do. Just wanted to let you know how deep this song is for so many fathers and sons in the society this country has become.
This song was always playing in rehab, been 3 months sober and still play this with a smile on my face. Tyler Childress is awesome and very helpful with recovery.
Such a powerful story - so glad you are doing well and so glad to hear this has helped you on your journey
Keep going! You got this
Let's goo bro you got this 💪 it truly is the devil no doubt keep it up you got this god bless you 🙏
I honestly believe that tyler is the most underrated country artist out right now.. this is so simple and so beautiful. in an age where true artists are becoming more and more rare.. this stands out so wonderfully
Agreed.
Austin Ballard cody jinks
Tyler and Colter Wall have gotten country back into my playlists again.
Arlo McKinley is ridiculously underrated as well.
What about Sturgill? I'm not sure where he's from though
Im a native american/african american 21 year old man who was adopted by white parents and have been struggling with a substance addiction on and off for 4 years. I found this song a year ago, showed to me by a co worker who had been raised in a different way than I. I was raised with some country music, but I generally don't partake. Music does not discriminate between race, color, or creed. When a man or woman is singing from the soul, it resonates to those who seek the same truth: We are all humans, and humans make mistakes. But it takes true humility to accept that you have to take accountability for your actions, and the only way to have the strength to do that is asking God for help. And God is good, so any potential good you see in others is God working through them.
Stay strong brother 💪🏼 we are with you no matter how lonely shit can get
Amen brother
Well said bother
Yellowstone brought me here. I hear, the pain, the truth, and the hopefulness of the lyrics. This is a gift. What music is meant to be.
This song sums up the soul of Eastern Kentucky like none other. Those misty mountains can comfort you but they can also make you feel alone when you’re deep in the throws of an addiction. Alcohol and cocaine nearly killed me but I found a way out. I pray for all my brothers and sisters still lost in the madness may they find some peace one day.
Ain't the truth. Pike co born and raised. 16 yrs if addiction. Took going to prison and losing my wife, kids and everything to straighten up and move to central KY to get away. 8yrs clean
I found my way out of coke and booze too . Comin up on 6 yes clean
@@jrjones7172 Pike Co is the heart of Eastern KY. Beautiful place with lots of sleepless nights. Glad you’re still alive brother.
@@mikerochester8015 That’s great man. Glad you could beat it.
Tyler Childers encompasses everything that is and has been great about music. Rare talent for sure
@TylerChilders-qn5hv damn straight. I am very picky about music and artists too! Lol, seriously, I can tell all of your songs are from the heart and you have some experience with all that you write. You have also re inspired me and taught me a lot about playing the guitar. 😤🐐
Hurt, pain, and regret wrote this song. Tyler just felt it and sang it with his soul.
One of the realest voices in music. Thanks for checking us out!
I can't believe how much this song has moved me. I'm Mexican and don't do country but there is something about this song that has touched my soul! Tyler Childers u r amazing and have a talent to touch souls of all human beings. ❤
A true artist and storyteller!
Nose to the grindstone hope for all amen...
Hello I see happiness all around you, can I please share from it ❤
“There’s to much in this world that I can’t seem to shake” my god what a line.
Yellowstone brought me here. I have listened to many more of his videos. What a song, lyrics and performance. I just love this simple sound with a profound message.
Childers he’s got the words for the soul
I sent this to my Dad back when I was trying to get clean. Spent 10 years a slave to that drug. This coming February I'll be 3 years sober from those damn pills! 😁
👏 hoping that you've still clean hun!
@@theresasquirestheresa Yes Ma'am goin strong never lookin back
I played this song over and over and over. I learned all the words, the tone, each pause. Decided to get sober that was about 18 months ago. Music can heal.
Congratulations. Stay vigilant. Stay strong.
@@theresasquirestheresa I see happiness all around you, can I please share from it ❤
I'm a recovering/relapsing alcoholic with my first kid on the way. I play this on my guitar and I look at myself in the mirror. I'll get there and this helps
try this playlist, some more songs to play in the mirror. Hit play all. Pray your still sober and your child safe. ruclips.net/p/PLqw0QTGb4ssLHuGnPm6bR8JJGS3NQCF_z
@@timberlineconstsvs2280 yea since the writing of that comment I sobered up and have nearly 2 years under my belt. Life is good.
Recovering opiate addict, don’t know what it is but his voice his lyrics, it hits me hard every time. I’m either crying or getting shivers. 5 years today, keep the lord in your heart and you’ll have nothing to fear 🙏🏻❤️
Sending our love your way
Addiction runs strong in my family, luckily I’m not in a hole. This song hits me every time as well. I can hear the pain and sincerity in his voice and music.
Hope you stay well
We all need to find why we let people help us !! Iam a great drug addict and alcoholic!! Could never been better at what I do if I didn’t have the ones that love me !!! Or help !!! Bottom line !!! Know who you are because addiction does not !! Or the ones that love you
The lyrics.. “ there’s hurt you can cause that time alone cannot heal” hit harder and harder the older you get
It's hard to believe this guy is the same Tyler Childers in 2024.
"Keep the Lord in your heart and you'll have nothing to fear." True my man true. God Bless you for this. May God Bless your career and the message of his undying love for us.
Jesus Christ loves you u
Takes twice as long to build bridges you burned may be the best line I have ever heard in my life.
I wish I could hear this for the first time again. Always chills.
How am I just discovering Tyler Childers? His voice is outstanding! So soulful and raw…gives one chills. I could play any of his songs on repeat for hours on end.
Man im busting my ass raising 3 girls by myself my mom was my only help I lost her in August 2023 I’m at the port of Baltimore I’m praying my girls be fine when I leave here brother! I salute all the men who don’t give up ! Men are not just available we are necessary it’s too much going on today! I pray I can make it it’s hard bro I can’t stop I won’t stop 23 years working with sciatic nerve damage I can’t take a break bc we won’t make it I’m going to keep going I’m praying my oldest start working in 2 yrs man this song is the best song I’ve heard in years it’s me it’s the hard working men true Americans!
Im a metal head...but this man gives me chills whenever I hear his voice.
same here
There is a pretty big metalhead/folk music culture. Especially in the bluegrass festival community.
from Pikeville ky and I love this song it brings back so many memories and I don't see anyone else that is
Hello Lisa
Hello I see happiness all around you, can I please share from it ❤
I thought i could keep it together, never heard this song before, i was wrong. Some pain we carry so long we forget about it and think its gone. I guess it never went away in the first place.
Much respect and love.
Damn
@@charleslindbergh8222 Tough guy act doesn’t work. Keep trying though. 😂
@@charleslindbergh8222 He didn’t say he was crying. You must not have a life story if you can’t relate to music.
@@charleslindbergh8222 Try again loser.
Keep in mind that a man is just as good as his word is something today’s generations will NEVER understand
Not all of us Fathers forgot the old ways. Two sons I'm very proud of. 20 and 19 shaping up to be fine men. They are out there my man. Know a few more just like them.
This is, uh, "Nose to the Grindstone"
Hold on
Daddy worked like a mule minin' Pike County coal
'Til he fucked up his back and couldn't work anymore
He said one of these days you'll get out of these hills
Keep your nose on the grindstone and out of the pills
See, the ways of this world will just bring you to tears
Keep the Lord in your heart, and you'll have nothin' to fear
Live the best that you can and don't lie and don't steal
Keep your nose on the grindstone and out of the pills
Well Daddy, I've been tryin', I just can't catch a break
There's too much in this world that I can't seem to shake
But I remember your words, Lord, they bring me the chills
Keep your nose on the grindstone and out of the pills
Keep in mind that a man's just as good as his word
It takes twice as long to build bridges you've burnt
And there's hurt you can 'cause time alone cannot heal
Keep your nose on the grindstone and out of the pills
Well Daddy, I've been tryin', I just can't catch a break
There's too much in this world I can't seem to shake
But I remember your words, Lord, they bring me to chills
Keep your nose on the grindstone and out of the pills
Keep your nose on the grindstone
Thank you
“Keep in mind that a man is just as good as his word, it takes twice as long to build bridges you burn, and there’s hurt you can cause, time alone can’t heal” never heard truer words
Yesterday I left Appalachia for good. I kept my nose on the grindstone and out of the pills. I thank God every day I did.
Good for you brother
Get strong enough to go back home to your Mountains and THrive!
Songs like a lesson from my dad, broke his back at work, got addicted to pills. He was an Olympian and became an abusive drug addict. He taught me many things as i grew up and became a man, a man is just as good as his word. I had my own issues, but I keep my nose on the grindstone now.
Thanks for sharing your story. Music is so connective.
This will forever make me think of Dad. He never mined. But being told every day for first half of my life to keep my nose go the grind stone still plays in my head
One thing I notice on every comment section of a music video, everyone comes together and spreads love. That's unity. Music is magic. We all feel the same pain no matter what we look like. Much love to yall.
Born and raised in Nashville. Can’t tell you how nice it is to hear real music again. Tyler, Colter Wall, Sturgill Simpson, etc.. saving country music one song at a time.
I'm older but I'll say this. Real music used to say real words. We called it folk music but it bled over into mainstream country. Like Gordon lightfoot etc. THIS... Gives me hope that a new generation will continue to make real songs and music. Commercial America has lost its cultural roots. This is great.
The fact that the most replayed part is the entire song… says everything you need to know about this song.
I quit a 14 year opioid addiction 6 weeks ago. This song rings me to my core.
How're you doing brother?
@@willhaywood3010 still clean haven't slipped once. When I posted this comment I honestly didn't think I would make it. Thank you for reminding me of this comment I use my length of sobriety as a addition now.

yo ik this comment was 2 years ago but i hope youre still sober brother! know the feeling!
You have no clue how much your song has helped me stay straight headed after my pops passed and work is heavy af while tryna maintain and be a good husband and dad. Thank you for this song bro fr.
Keep it up every day man, your kids need you!!❤
Just heard this song on the show Yellowstone. About time Tyler is getting more recognition. Pure, real and true music/talent.
A true & pure talent indeed.
Yellowstone is brutal lol
Love that show
Golden recording. Can’t beat this one fellas
This man is a national treasure. Rattles my soul every time. Thank you for the art, Mr. Childers.
Went from being a hardcore addict on meth and pills to a nursing student with a full time job. Keep on the grindstone
Keep it up, man! Congrats.
That’s amazing! Keep going man; it’ll all be worth it
Beautiful brother, never look back.
Love you brother
Stay the course
My son... a die-hard metal fan introduced me to Tyler Childers. This is a beautiful piece of music.
Some music is so good it defies the boundaries of genre! Thanks for sharing!
Tyler Childers the best
Late to this. Found it this week. Hits me like a tornado every time. 43 years old and one of the most beautiful songs I've ever heard. Puts tears in my eyes every listen. It's helping me through some really hard times as well. Needless to say, huge Tyler Childers fan at this point. And, tears in my eyes again.
So happy it connected and truly hope things get better soon - Mike
Follow You to Virgie.
From Oklahoma! Don't ever sell out bud. Your music brings a ring to my ear. My family is from West Virginia my grandma and grandad got out of there thanks to the air Force. Both of my great grandads died from black lung. it's beautiful country and we still have family there.
I shook it.
Nose to the grindstone did it.
Brings tears to my eyes and fire to my soul.
🤘🙏🤘🙏🤘
First time I heard this song it is a masterpiece
16 days clean. Your helping me stay clean listening over and over.
Congratulations. Wishing you all the best, man.
"Keep in mind that a man's just as good as his word. It takes twice as long to build the bridges you've burned. And there is hurt you can cause time alone cannot heal. Keep your nose on the grindstone & out of the pills."
Words to live by.
Jesus Christ is our savior, he died on the Cross for our sins. Putting your faith in Him is the only way to get to Heaven when you die🙏✝️
My dads a miner. He’s been doing it for 10 years and it scares me. He loves you Tyler and he shown me your music and you remind me of him. Thank you ❤
It takes twice as long to build Bridges you burnt and there's hurt you can cause time alone cannot heal. Holy shit
This is true country. This is what should be played on the radio instead of “country” today. This song as many others of his songs have powerful messages.
Can’t quit listening. I’ve buried more than have my family to drug addiction here in Appalachia and this hits home. Thanks for this song
Some of the best songs in life never make it to the radio
My dad introduced me to this song while we were in the line for chickfila. We had to wait in that line for an hour, just to be told that it would take another half before anyone could order, so we just drove over the curb and went to McDonalds instead, unfortunately. I may not be the closest with my dad, but it's these little moments that make it very clear he loves me, and even if I refuse to admit it sometimes, I love him.
Just discovered this guy today thanks once again to RUclips. Lord have mercy, every song I've listened to so far has been so.. Ah screw it, words can't express it. Y'all know what I'm talking about. You'll never hear this on the radio either.. It's way to good.
Im 12th generation Irish/American, born and raised in the Southern Appalachians and Tyler Childers songs touch nerves that only a man born and raised in these hills can touch. Long live Southern Appalachia!
Amen!
Brother I'm irish/commanche Indian been in Texas my whole life and Tyler's music always moves me
What a voice, instant chills through my spine when he started to sing! This is Country music with capital C! Greetings from Belgium!
I love this guy's music. He should be famous. May God be with him.
So glad to hear you're a fan, thanks for checking this out!
I may not be an addict but growing up without a father to tell me these kind of things to be a better man makes me feel a ways. Listening to this song made me break today. So grateful for talent
