The ending gives me chills every time. It’s not “there’s nothing that anyone *could* do,” it’s “there’s nothing that anyone *would* do.” Putting the blame on us for choosing to ignore the signs because we feel like it isn’t our place instead of actually doing something about it. Powerful stuff
When I grew up it was more important to save face in front of people. don't let people talk. if you saw something you were taught to ignore it because that's someone else business and what will they say about you if you rock the boat, etc etc. I wished people would have said stuff. I was like Alyssa, and taught that everyone condoned it, just don't show it cause what will they say. It shouldn't be on the kids to say something.
My sister and I were not killed but it is only by the grace of God this would have been us. This brings back many bad memories. My mom, dad, grandma and grandpa were all killed in a plane crash when I was seven and my sister was nine. An aunt and uncle took us in. Until we were able to leave home we were beaten, sexually molested in the worst ways and threatened that if we ever told anyone then it would all begin again only worse. We all finally got away and never looked back. This song hits to close to home.
This song had just as powerful an effect on me as it did you. As a father of two young kids I cannot imagine any parent ever harming their kids. I've heard this song more times than I can count and it always hits me in the feels. My heart goes out to those kids and I thank Country Music for songs like this that sheds light on this issue and hopefully helps and heals those who need it. Jason said it's so emotionally hard for him to sing this song but it's what his fans want to hear when at his concerts. Please also check out The Little Girl by John Michael Montgomery and Independence Day by Martina McBride.
This song is soooooooo sad and unfortunately so true for so many kids. I just want to reach through and hold Alyssa 🙏 I adopted my son out of a situation like this. Hes now 24 and I wouldn't change a thing. You should try Blaine Larson How do you get that lonely
This really happened in my home state of North Carolina. And it was a friend of his daughters. He said once the it costs a migraine headaches trying to write this
Mr. Anton, My older brother Lenny and I were abused by both of our parents. We would go to school with slap marks on our faces with bruises, busted lips, belt marks, bruised and bloody knuckles where they used items on our hands but from 1st grade-12th grades no neighbors, no bus drivers, no teachers, no school principals, no family members who saw and heard the abuse, none of them bothered to help us. In fact, my mother, during one of her rage filled beatings caused a Detached Retina in my left eye when I had started 6th grade(October 1976) and the next morning I was having emergency eye surgery. I have never been able to see out of that since, and now, since my right eye has been doing the work for both eyes since October 1976, I been diagnosed as going completely blind and that there is nothing that can be done. PARENTS, PLEASE LOVE YOUR CHILDREN. There IS a difference between a spanking and a beating.
This composite video keeps going back to the classroom of students watching the actual video. The looks show hiw many have either known abuse or known an Bused classmate. When the one gets up and flees the room, i list it.
I heard this song many years ago. It makes me cry every time. The lyrics at the end when it says alyssa doesn't lie anymore because no one would do anything. We can't be silent when we see abuse. Another one you should hear is ....Dear Mr. Jesus. By power source.
My mother used paint sticks because she was told they don’t leave a mark and no one will know. Then she would tape up them up together. They end up leaving a mark but no one even family would do anything. I stopped talking to them years ago.
Hi I just found your channel I want to request a song but I can't join patreon cause I'm on disability do to having epilepsy since I was 11 months old. So I don't have a credit card. I use google play. Is there a way I can request a song without being a patreon?
Florida passes bill allowing death penalty for child sexual abusers.which passed by a vote of 34-5 - will also allow juries to hand down death sentences by votes of at least 8-4,Ron DeSantis For President . I'm so proud to live in Florida.
I wish no kids had to deal with this. I've dealt with domestic violence and other types of assault. The look where she has her arms like hugging herself gets me....as much as I hate to say this I literally was walking around work with my arms around myself holding myself and holding my stomach....I bartend and ended up alone with a man I thought I could trust I close every week night alone. I'm getting ready to go back to the same place and work until close. Just a bit of a struggle to go back. Anyway I'm rambling this is a good reaction.
If this touched you, check out Concrete Angel by Martina Mcbride and Take One Away by Burton Cummings. The latter is one that girls and women need to watch.
This was my childhood. I was beat so bad by my biological father that he almost killed me multiple times. When I was 9 I was tied to a bed and raped repeatedly by a step-cousin and no one would believe me. I was finally taken away from him after he molested my older sister and got her pregnant then killed the baby by nearly killing her. But for the Grace of God this could have been me and my sisters
Every single adult let me down too. My Mom was the abuser: belts, 2x4s, mop/broom haandles, fists, it didn't matter. My other adults joined in at times. Last time was a coffee cup upside my head when I was 16. I spent 2 1/2 years on streets until i was 19. Im 61 now and Mom died 3 years ago, i forgave but the mind doesn't and can't forget. Too many bruises, black eyes, make up on face to cover bruises, etc. Ive been on my own since 16, but I'm still standing. 😢. You can get past it. Im walking proof.
Thank you for sharing that Marsha, similar experience for my dad and my friend Ian (he was homeless for 3 years too). It takes strength to forgive, its not always easy.
Another great reaction vid Anton! Love your honesty and diversity of choise. I have a suggestion for you: Bruce Springsteen - If I Should Fall Behind (Official HD Video) - link: ruclips.net/video/RmUG1ffgKFw/видео.html Greeting from Belgium - Kris

Makes me cry everytime!!

Wow! I like what you said
When I grew up it was more important to save face in front of people. don't let people talk. if you saw something you were taught to ignore it because that's someone else business and what will they say about you if you rock the boat, etc etc. I wished people would have said stuff.

I could listen to this 1,000 times and it would make me cry every time. It's a gut punch. No child should ever be abused!!!!!

@@informme85 Peace be with you. My heart breaks to hear your story.
@@MrRifftherefThanks.
As a DV/child abuse survivor this breaks me every time because this was me and could have ended like this
It is a very sad sad song but it's very true it happens to children every day and to see a real man cry over a song like that means something
This song had just as powerful an effect on me as it did you. As a father of two young kids I cannot imagine any parent ever harming their kids.

As the story of the song goes, Jason went through three months of migraines trying to get it right about what happened and get the feeling right.
He NAILED it!! 😭😭😭

I am so glad you did this.

Have you ever watched the man in the moon with Reese Witherspoon? I highly recommend it
No I haven’t, who else is in it?
Such a hard song. I’ve heard it before, but still hits me like that every time I hear it.

While on the subject take a listen to “Concrete Angel”
In my hometown in the 60's you had no one to go to for help. Telling would just get you beaten even worse.
Also in the 70s

You should try How do you get that lonely by Blaine Larsen
Check out one man band by old dominion. I think you will appreciate the instruments in it and enjoy the song.
Alyssa lies with Jesus...OMG...
