Agree with mom, once you’ve experienced life than you can understand what jelly is saying. Stay young and enjoy your life young man

When he said “it’s not that sad.” I laughed because those of us who’ve been through it know, one day he probably will too.

I guess only people that's actually been in the situation he's singing about actually know how deep that is he's singing the truth

Listen to your Mamma son. You’re just getting a taste of life. Jelly is singing a life lived, and hopefully you never have to feel like this. Loved y’all’s reaction. 🙏

Nobody knows what that feels like, unless they have lived it. Respect your mama. 😊

For those of us who are truly broken, the lost causes' who feel like we are simply wandering through life, this is an anthem. Nuff Said

Mom goes somewhere for a sec. Like she said-once you’ve lived you feel each of those lyrics, they’re relevant to a time and a place and a feeling. His blissful ignorance is something to remember of our own youth. We were all so shallowly looking at life, skimming the surface.

Mom nailed the explanation on why this song hits so hard in the feels.

I am 42 years old I struggled with alcohol addiction since I was 13 years old I'm now 3 years sober this song speaks to me like it was written for me

Watching their faces perfectly animated the different responses juxtaposing the innocence of youth versus the effects of time and existential human experience. He is appreciating technique and style and discovering a new side to music he’s never even considered. Mom is reliving moments in time of feeling broken, irreparable, and lost. For him it’s new and for her it’s a memory evoked from somewhere deep. Makes me appreciate and pity that innocence right alongside the experience.

Real mom talking about real ish. Once you have kids your whole life has a different meaning. Much love to both of y'all.

I can’t sing or listen to this song and not cry. It’s impossible. When you’ve experienced the worst life can offer, it just hits you different because it’s the voice in your head. This is how I’ve felt most of my life. I’m glad this young man doesn’t yet understand the level of pain this song carries. Keep enjoying life and keep seeing the beauty it shows you everywhere. And ALWAYS, respect your mama. She won’t always be here, and sometimes our parents leave us sooner than we’d like. Y’all are great ♥️

Preach mama , some youngins haven’t gotten slapped by life. Appreciate ya.

This song is a rare one no matter who your with when you play it and you see people cry you know they have trauma

Your Mom is correct. For we older people who have delt with hard struggles and harsh trauma see this as a very sad song.

Momma....this momma was saying the same thing when he said it wasn't that sad 😂. My son is about to be 19, I'm 38. I tell him that same thing when I get emotional on songs like this. I be like boy hush, you ain't even lived life yet. Just wait 😂. Much Love y'all 💗

6 years sober and have been broken for so long. Jelly Roll sings sings that help heal me❤❤❤

I joined. The reason is the honesty of the Mom. Brave strong women sitting there with a nice son.

Jelly Roll "Nothing Left At All" It's him rapping and story telling.

Yea he can rap! And your mom is so right about the message in this song cuz I've experienced this kind of pain before.. over and over again, finding myself in hotel rooms either alone looking into the mirror at myself and wanting to give up on life or with a total stranger cuz he had drugs and I had no money 😥 thank God that part of my life is over BUT there is always a new struggle around the corner... ANYWAY your mom is so pretty looking like Diana Ross ❤

Jelly is amazing. I always make the joke that Jellyroll is my spirit animal. He can rap and sing. Has done everything from trap music to rock and country and no matter what the genre his lyrics have a way of hitting home and being real. A quality that is in desperate need of a comeback in the music industry across the board. Man's been grinding for over a decade dropped something like 40 albums and just now finally gettin the respect and recognition he deserved all along.

Your Mom is a real one for this!

Your mom is full of knowledge and wisdom . I lost my mom in 2018 when i was 55 and i truly wished i would have truly listened more.

I just found this reaction. Mom had me loving her from the first minute. This song is so vulnerable and raw. Love it

Love y’all’s mother/son energy 🫶🏼

Listen to your mom, you say that now because you’re young. But after you’ve lived as your mom has or as many of us have, we understand this song, so well. You have no idea how many times I’ve screamed out, save me from myself! God bless both of you.

Thank you for being honest mom, a lot of people have felt that way but are too afraid to say it. I felt that song too,Thank you for sharing

Another great song by Jelly but what hit me harder is seeing this young man sitting with his Mom to watch the video together and share their thoughts. Someday, they will look back and cherish these moments, they are truly blessed to have each other. To everyone who still have their Mom, give her a hug, let her know you love and respect her while you can. I miss my Mom so much and I pray that one day I will reunite with her in heaven. God bless this Mom and son, I'm thankful for the example they are setting for others.

The dynamic here makes it hit even harder. Seeing the young man enjoying the song and his mother having the life experience and feeling the depth of the despair. Thanks for this reaction.

I'm with ya mom on this one. You don't understand the hardship and struggles he's talking about and what he went through. I hope you never do. It's a horrible place to be. Big ups y'all. Keep doing you

As someone who has literally lived that song I can tell you your mom is right.

I’m so happy I stumbled across this page! I love Jellyroll! And your mama is AWESOME. Subscribed

Totally agree with you mama! I felt this song too! And 100% true that if you haven’t got thru it it won’t hit you like it does for you and myself ❤

The moment when her mouth tightens and she gets that smirk of familiar pain around 6:15 you can see her traveling back. It makes you treasure and pity the blissful ignorance that the son gets to feel listening to the same song. You both hope he has the experiences that dig deep enough to leave their mark but also that he avoids the pain that so often accompanies the good in life.

Moms know. This song dropped right after I was diagnosed with breast cancer. On top of everything else that I’ve been thru feeling this exact same way…until you are there & you feel it…young man you just don’t know yet…And I totally agree with the other comment that said Jelly Roll is her spirit animal lol…I been telling my husband that for months

I really like what your mom said about us not knowing anything cuz we haven’t lived yet

Jelly Roll is a man who sang exactly how I felt. I was always the "black sheep" of the family, but when ever people in my fam got in trouble, I was the one they called on, and I felt this exact way when I met my woman, and I moved out of Lewisham 😂😂 he a real one, and full respect 🙏 🫡

This song hits hard 😢 giving you lots of hugs mama ❤ I'm glad you took the time to explain that to your boy Young man, You have barely experienced life. Many of us out here relate to this song on a very deep level. Have compassion and understanding and give your momma a hug and be thankful she has sheltered you and kept you away from experiencing what she has been through. You're very lucky to have a mom like that. I never had a relationship with mine❤

Talk momma preach! When I hear this song I wanna tear up and I’m a man. He speaks the real.

She needed a hug lil bruh, not a "it's not that sad" that's just more life you'll learn. Much love Momma!

Mama knows!! mama has seen, felt, and done some sh*t, and she still rose... xoxoxo

I want to reach through this screen and hug your mom ❤

Your mom has seen the trials and tribulations of life she’s amazing

Yes mama! I am 44 and I know exactly what he is saying.

this man struggles with Drug addiction and he lays it out in his songs. as someone that lost friends to Drugs you can fill his emotion in his songs.

I'm 26 and don't wana be here anymore, lil homie ya need to be greatful for the luxuries you were blessed with.

You ain’t gonna meet nobody more real than Jelly Roll and he sings from the heart. He’s a beautiful man.❤

No it wasnt him that sang the national anthem. That was Chris Stapleton. Yall should check him out for sure. He will blow your mind!! The best voice on the planet in my opinion!!

You are completely right mom, you have to live that stuff to understand it. I feel it everytime i hear it. He has helped tens of thousands of people with that song alone.

Y'all are beautiful together. I miss it. Lost my dog 2 yrs ago, my mom 1 yr ago and my wife couple months ago. Cherish them moments

I’m with you mom. It seems like such a simple song unless you’ve lived and seen things change and fly by you and life go by faster every year. It’s really real and everyone will feel it at some point.

Your Mama is a very wise woman, Son. I think alot of adults have been here. Thanks for yalls reaction.

YASSS MOM! If I heard this 10 years ago, I'd think little more than "this guy has a good voice." After going through 7 years of kidney failure, and going through the rollercoaster of getting a new kidney so I could stop dialysis, but having to give up the career and industry I had worked in for 15 years because of the medication regiment I had to maintain, and needing to get a new degree to get a job that provides the stability and paycheck I need to pay for medical issues now and in the future, I can barely keep it together when that line "life has shattered my hopes and my dreams" gets played. Once you've lived these types of things, its hard to hold back those emotions when you hear someone so talented singing what could be your personal anthem.

It is so real and.from the heart. WHen you have been there then you know what he is singing about. No fancy effect. brings it home.

Fire Reaction. And a big Shout-out to Mom...She's a special Lady. I myself was raised by a single Mother and saw first hand the sacrifices Mothers have to make for their children. God Bless yall Man🙏

Momma, I totally understand where you coming from. Been there done that! Much Love 💕

Even Angels Cry, Son of a Sinner, Halfway to hell....you can't go wrong with Jelly!!! Great reaction!!

I love that his mom had a chance to explain why it's a sad song for her. I wanted to say the same thing when watching her hold back tears while he bobbed his head. It's something you can never know/understand until you do. And just like she explained, it doesn't have to be some huge regret.... it's just being old enough to understand that hopes/dreams are for the young.

Hey sis I'm right there with you, at 63 I can feel what he said with this dope cut!!😎

The moment I liked this video is when she hugged him and said " Cuz you have not lived yet" break it down for him momma.

He can definitely Rap. He started his career in that genre. Mama is so right about once you have lived and experienced more in life being able to understand better the lyrics.

I cry every time I hear this song. I think of my brother who passed away four years ago from advanced liver disease from alcohol and drugs. I wish he heard it when he was alive. I was there at one time, maybe not as bad, but it gets me every time.

Yes ma!!!! My kids say the same to me… but the struggle is real, and when you feel like someone else is speaking your own truth.. it just hits so much harder and you have a much greater appreciation for it ❤

I've been there 35year ago😂he is an inspiration to anyone who has struggled with any kind of addiction ❤😢

My fav JR song. So beautiful and relatable. ❤ Thank you.

I pray that our children and Grandchildren would take to heart what we tell them, unfortunately they think we never lived life and we just don’t understand!! God Bless you both you are a beautiful family.

I’m with your Mama! I’ve been there too. This song got me deep in the feels❤

The mom is so cool and not being mean the boys head bobbing like on a horse. Can’t do the beat to it.. just funny.. good job on it lady

Bubba. Be glad your mama has kept you away from the pain. I wish these problems on nobody.

The crap I went through while growing up and this song hits home every time

WOW Mom is on point she has a beautiful soul.❤️

Jelly is badass he is a cool dude that turned his life around he deserves all the best

I love that he doesnt get it. Ive been broken since 7, 4th generation addict, and still feel lost at 52. Stay Gold Ponyboy (IYKYK) And great job momma

Your mom is the best. I love y’all.

peach mamma! i found it interesting watching your two generations experience his song...your son doesn't understand bc he hasn't felt those lows...but when you've really lived some years you can relate to his words. life will bring hardship, pain, struggles...no way of escape them, but hopefully we can find our way through the journey with some happiness and joy, and not have to turn to the bottle or pills to survive. much love to you both, and i love that you're doing these reactions together!

Your Mom is lovely, I think she might be the sweetest lady on earth, you're lucky young man to have such a mother

Mom is right.. Until you lived the emotions he is singing its hard to relate...One day you will understand....

Jelly writes his songs from his life experiences. He's a true Legend in music.

He does a song with Tech Nine called Creature it's a great song and video. Also fall In The Fall with Struggle Jennings is him rapping and singing. Great reaction,!!!

When you experience life, like momma said, you'll know what to do baby 💖

Bro 💯 I love your mom man! She knows what’s up! Young queen FR! Love your mom bro!

News sub! Love Mama! My favorite Jelly performing his songs Only/Lovethe Heartless live.Acoustic. Beautiful. Jelly's a truth teller. ❤

mommas reaction is so true. im same age as jelly roll daughters same age, i cry every time i hear this song man so good!!

Listen to what Momma says during this reaction my man. She knows......

Thats right mama you have lived and you know where all the pain jelly roll is coming from

You are beautiful Mom!! Much love and respect to you!

Listen, this song is the shit! This man is so freaking talented. This song is everything I’ve never experienced this situation, but I know good music and beautiful music. This is beautiful music.

Brother, yo Momma is so 💯! You my dude have not lived yet. This song is #facts for so many people. They have felt this pain. So many ppl fake it on the outside...young peeps and old, and hurt exactly like JR sings about in the inside . Jelly Roll does all powerful raw #REAL music nowadays. Brother ya need to listen to more of his new stuff. He keep it 💯#real. Praise God. You two are good ppl. Keep the Love. Awesome you two do this channel together. God bless.

Good lady there young man. Listen too her, not just because she is your mom she has it right. Cool lady your lucky dude. This song is a banger. Hits ya right there. Peace and love from Canada

Young man, be so very thankful you haven't experienced that kind of pain. I pray you never do. Mom's is right, is older folks feel every word!!!! 😢

I love this song, I was married for 15 years to tha love of my life. She had 2 small children I raised when she got on Drugs, both are grown now and they have given 4 beautiful grand baby's. I'm 65 now and I have never given up on her and have never been with anyone else in 26 years and had never wanted to be. We do talk several times a month I have never blamed her for what life handed her. Her relationship with her kids has been restored and her grandkids love her very much. The lady that I still love really never had a chance at a happy child hood, her father was a Heron addic and her mother was a stripper. I saw the sadness in her life and it broke my heart and I fell in love with her. She asked why I loved her so much, I simply told her because she needed a love that would be forever and I was ready to give her that for the rest of her life and that's what she still has to this day. I will never give up on her ever. I said all of that to say this. Jelly Roll got in the gang life and spent time in prison now hehas found his love and I hope it is a lifetime love. We all need that it makes us a better person. God Bless Jelly Roll may he be happy with the love of his life for ever. Save Me is one of the best songs I've ever heard. Thanks for this video.

Your Mama is beautiful, be good to her.

Yes he started out as a rapper. That man can do ANY genre, I guarantee you! ❤

I’m an Instafan. Yall are so genuine and so funny. This song continues to get me through my bouts of depression and suicidal ideations. 💙💙💙

What a beautiful song, and OMG what an awesome relationship for a mother and son. I am on the west coast of Canada and I miss my daughter on the east coast of Canada and I became a nana I would give anything to be that close to my child. God bless both of you for your relationship and for this song I have never heard this before thank you God bless🙏🙏🙏🙏🙏

God bless them both. The mom gets IT!!

Mom's right. I hope you dont feel that way but it's a real feeling.

Amen! And you have lived life mama! God bless you. For I feel there's a certain camaraderie among those who have been through their midnights of darkness and see each other eye to eye afterwards. Love always

Amen mom's, give him 20 more years!

Hi 👋 Greetings from Utah! I just discovered your channel today, and I'm really enjoying it. It's obvious that you two have a lovely relationship! I will check out more of your videos.
