Unresponsive Teen Wakes Up After Hearing Zach Bryan Song In Touching Video
An unresponsive teenager woke up after his buddy played Zach Bryan's hit song "Revival" at his hospital bed.
Trae Ocheltree, 17, was seriously injured in a car crash in South Carolina, according to WhiskeyRiff. The horrific accident left Trae unresponsive in the hospital, but things took a shocking turn when his buddy Greysen visited and played the hit song. For the first time since being hospitalized, Trae started to wake up after hearing the music.
A woman by the name of Angela Bozard Rewis wrote the following on a Facebook video of the incredible moment:
"Today Greysen was singing out loud in the hospital room while playing the Revival song from Zach Bryan and Trae RESPONSED… He knew Greysen, Trae knew the song and he squeezed Greysen‘s hand. Trae even tried to move with the beat of the music and mouth the words! When Greysen spoke of Trae playing his Guitar and communicating via Duck Calls Trae light up and opened his eyes…he was aware and with us today! What a special life moment! These boys have a special bond and what a moment for 2 friends to share. Grey and I were so excited the nurses came in and our Trae had arrived!"

South Carolina teen wakes up after hearing Zach Bryan's Revival.
If this doesn't pull at your emotions and heartstrings, then you might want to make sure you still have a pulse and soul. This is an absolutely incredible situation.
Being in the hospital is almost always terrible. Being in the hospital unresponsive after a horrible car accident is about as bad as it gets. I can't even imagine the terror and emotions Trae's family must have been feeling.
Then, a friend showed up, turned on "Revival" and he showed signs of being awake and recognizing the music. I don't even have a good explanation for why something like that might happen.
Life sure can be funny at times, and you never know what might flip someone's switch. In this case, a friend simply playing Zach Bryan's song seems to have gotten the job done.
Hopefully, Trae continues to improve and get better. This will be a moment that definitely sticks with him for the rest of his life. Let me know your thoughts at David.Hookstead@outkick.com.
