Why is it that more artists don't have the balls to write like this! Jason Isbell is everything Nashville pretends to be, Best fucking songwriter on the planet period end of story!

[junkyardheaven]

Well, what can one say? Those lyrics. Those guitars. Our boy's just leading the field. In any sense.

[lukezangari]

One of the truly great songwriters of his generation.

[joejanca]

Jesus. I don't even have kids, and this song just wrecked me. Masterfully done as always, Mr. Isbell.

[MrHillbilly]

Great song, lyrics and message. It is slowly happening but Country music is on a path to do more than sing songs about drinking beer. Good on you 400 Unit for doing your part.

Longtime Jason Isbell fan and public school teacher here. Thank you, Mr. Isbell, for capturing so well one of the most pressing issues of our day. "Swear you’ll save the world when I lose my grip/Tell me you're in control..." Such power and empathy in these words. The entire song provides a cathartic experience for me. "Something's changing inside my head."-- I feel this so much, as a teacher, a mother, a citizen in a dying community, and a volunteer at my local jail. I weep for our world.

[gavmc]

He's the real deal! Only the truly great songwriters will make your jaw drop with their lyrics, Jason does this all the time!

Jason is firing on all cylinders on this latest one… loving this new album

[Ljp]

“And when you said the cops just let ‘em die, ” brought a tear to my eye.

[ilfaitfroid]

This song broke my heart. He has a way of putting things in to words that resonate

[Noneyobizniz]

Youngest son’s birthday today… I’m also a teacher. I can’t get through this song without falling apart. My boys are homeschooled because active shooter drills should not be something any child should have to go through.

[jenniferotoole]

This Chorus! Is 🔥 As always, he gets his sentiment across so perfectly with so few words. This will resonate with alot of people. It does with me and I don't even have school age kids. It's an exceptional conversational piece.

[semplecc]

Thank you! Somebody had to write this song. Now, how do we save the world?

[charlesdarwin]

Best songwriter in the game... he just keeps getting better... very rare talent

[Vishangro]

Rare for a song to affect me emotionally theses days (I'm old) but this song one did. Seriously great tones on that guitar!

[happihockey]

This is the horror every American parent feels now, when is the madness gonna stop, so honest, parents can only rely on each other not to go mad when trying to keep our children safe. Jason never holds back and writes songs that cut deep.

[davidmaeglin]

The album releases just keep getting better! I've been dying for new material, but this tests the phrase.

[slipperystar]

Wow beautiful! That chorus is very original...the song is heartbreaking but hopeful.

[robertsaunders]

Jason Isbell through his gift of songwriting is the reluctant arbiter of the 21st century. From Dress Blues to Save the World Jason represents the effects that unspeakable tragedies have on all of us.

[TennesseeYaya]

Wow Jason. Elementary classroom teacher and parent here. This hit me square in the gut, as usual; but this was soo different. So…. On target. What the hell do we do.
