Home News ‘Saving Me Slow.’ – It started with a song playing on the radio — Tyler Childers’ “Feathered Indians.” One line hit Jelly Roll so hard, he had to pull over. “That’s when I knew,” he later admitted. “She wasn’t just someone I loved — she was the one God sent to keep me steady.” In a recent interview, the country-rap star recalled that moment, saying it was “like the lyric reached inside me and rewired something.” The line — “If I’d known she was religious, then I wouldn’t have came stoned” — reminded him of his own wild past and how Bunnie Xo never asked him to change, only to heal. “That lyric felt like my confession,” he said. “And she was the answer.” Moved by that realization, Jelly Roll quietly began writing a new song — a raw, stripped-down ballad he’s called ‘Saving Me Slow.’ It’s not released yet, but fans recently got a brief listen when he teased a rough demo during a livestream, recorded late one night in his home studio. His voice cracked as he sang, “You didn’t fix me, baby — you just stayed long enough to watch me try.”… WATCH VIDEO BELOW 👇👇

Jelly Roll Reveals the Tyler Childers Lyric That Changed Everything — and the Unreleased Love Song He Just Wrote for Bunnie Xo

Ole Timmy Tyler Childers is keeping folks together through his music.

Bunnie Xo and Jelly Roll are a country music power couple. The two first met in 2015, Bunnie had just gotten out of a relationship, and as she described it, Jelly Roll wasn’t locked down, but did have “hoes in different area codes.”

The two eventually crossed paths again when Bunnie Xo went to a Cypress Hill concert that Jelly was opening for, and they officially started talking in February of 2016. Their first kiss was in July (and was actually caught on camera), and according to Bunnie Xo, it didn’t take long after that for the couple to make things official:

“Our chemistry was undeniable. We couldn’t keep our hands off of each other, and from then on out, we haven’t left each other’s sides. And a month later, he proposed to me on stage at a Deftones concert in Las Vegas. How f***** rock and roll is that?”

Videos shared by Bunnie Xo in the clip below then show them tying the knot Las Vegas style, and it’s incredibly cool to get an inside look at how their romance came to be. And let’s be honest… the only way Jelly Roll and Bunnie Xo could have gotten married was in Las Vegas.

It was meant to be:

While the two are strong and sturdy as a couple, having been together for over a decade, they (like many other folks) have had some bumps in the road along the way. But when you truly love someone, you are willing to fight for them in order to stay together.

During Jelly Roll’s recent return to vlogging, he invited Big Mike, Mike Majlak, and Nick Nayersina out to his Tennessee property for a boys’ day filled with four-wheelers, discussions about Jelly Roll’s plan to develop a rehabilitation center on his land, and campfire chats. During their time around the campfire, Jelly Roll was asked how he knew that Bunnie Xo was the woman for him. Jelly Roll’s answer was slightly corny (which he acknowledged) but is also profound.

“I hate to be this corny, but do you remember the Tyler Childers record ‘Feathered Indians’? There’s a really close line where he goes:

‘Looking over West VirginiaSmoking Spirits on the roofShe asked ain’t anybody told yaThat them things are bad for youI said, “Many folks have warned meThere’s been several people tryBut up ’til now, there ain’t been nothingThat I couldn’t leave behind”‘

And that line ‘up ’til now, there ain’t been nothing / that I couldn’t leave behind,’ was like the first time I met a woman that when I was really fixing; I thought I was going to lose her forever. It was the first time I really cared about something. I was like, ‘No, no, no.’ Besides my children, I was like. ‘No, I don’t want to lose this.’

And that’s when I knew she was for sure. I never felt that way. Like, I wanted to do whatever it took to repair and reconcile, where normally I was looking for a reason to run. I was looking for a reason to run, not a reason to repair, if you know what I mean. Normally, I was creating conflict in relationships to try and get out of them, you know what I mean?

With her, I’m looking for reasons to repair and to keep our relationship strong and to strengthen it. I look as time that I spend with her as like investing time, like I’m investing equity in my marriage. And there is no better investment in my life than my marriage.”

I mean, that’s a solid way to look at things when figuring out whether a relationship will last the long haul. Could you or could you not leave it behind?

If you need a guiding light in your relationship, fire up some Tyler Childers.
