Dax is back, and he is peeling back the curtain on the heavy emotional burdens men carry in his latest single. If you are looking for the official Dax – Big Boys Don’t Cry video, you can watch it right here on this page and stream the track on all major platforms below.
The video opens with pure chaos. A crowd of people runs for safety while police officers rush in to neutralize an active shooter. The camera pans to a man enduring a severe mental health crisis, perfectly setting the stage as Dax starts to sing.
Honestly, it hits deep. I’m finally starting to understand manhood. If I had to describe it? It is basically being expected to play Superman when you are at your absolute lowest.
Why the Dax – Big Boys Don’t Cry Video is a Must-Watch
The imagery in this release is next-level. Dax beautifully illustrates the weight of depression with a visual of a living room slowly filling with water.
When you are stressed out, it literally feels like you are drowning. Dax recently shared the exact moment that inspired him to write this track:
“I vividly remember crying when I was a young boy, and being told big boys don’t cry,” Dax shared. “Up until then, crying was a form of communication. You got things you wanted when you cried. That quickly stops as a young man and you realize your tears don’t cause people to move anymore. Years go by and those tears you hold back start to fill up in your body and all you can do is pray you never run out of space.”
Talk about a reality check. He wraps up the thought by saying an overflow of emotions is like bad weather, and the people around you usually have no idea they are standing in the eye of the storm.
Dax Prepares for the Anger Management Tour

He is launching his massive, 46-city Anger Management Tour this fall. He will be hitting major stops like Chicago, Houston, and Dallas, just to name a few.
