Knox Hill - Hudba
Adding to the breakdown: I heard miners but was thinking turn off my rap brain there can’t be double entendres here..but nope! Looks like we do have a coal miners/minors double in here people! 🤟🔥
3ree6ixty - rappertag.
Give some aussies some airtime
I was gonna mention that.
Knox he’s talking about hatred of men from the leftists/feminists demonizing men, pushing the idea that men are irrelevant and that masculinity is evil and needs to be eradicated. It’s one of many factors contributing to high depression and suicides amongst young men in the West. They teach boys that just being born a male is wrong and oppressive and if they transition they’re a hero. They teach them they should be ashamed of being a male. It’s pure evil.
Epstein island!!!
Kinda of a double entendre
I saw him live, in person yesterday at my local farm market, he is in fact 100% the real deal
Such an emotional show!
Incredible show yesterday in Cackalacki.... My people made me proud ..
I think he's going to be in Eagle Creek on Saturday
@@carlsanders2766 really?
@@carlsanders2766 there is no way in hell Eagle Creek could handle that much traffic or people
The pain in his face makes it so much more powerful.
He sang that with his entire chest! Powerful 😢
You can actually see tears coming down towards the end
@@markhager632couldn’t see them through mine.
And in his voice. Omg.... He's all of us!
Yessss! You can see and feel the pain & frustration behind every single word. I can't but wonder if he's emotionally and physically drained each time he performs this song. Much love and respect to all of you ❤
This is the anthem of an entire generation. We’re beat down, tired, and fed up with being told to wait our turn for going on 20+ years now by the same people sticking the screws to us every single day.
TRUTH!! 🎶❤️🇺🇸🙏
By all means, be a part of the solution and stop voting for Democrats.
@@triggertimetv1775Divide and conquer. If we fight amongst ourselves at the instigation of the total government, through all media, then they can continue running happily off with all the money. Hope you have a good day, fellow human.
@@triggertimetv1775 numbers say differently.
I don't think this is an Anthem. This is a rallying cry, for the people.
This man went from playing to 20 people to the top 3 songs and 7 of the top 10 on iTunes country. He has an anthem for the working class worldwide with this one. Almost 2 million views a day.
I bet he wasn't expecting that.. Awesome!
His beard gets an additional 1.5 million views
#1 now and 10 million views on youtube.
Not iTunes Country, iTunes proper
number 1 and 3 now!!!!
I lived most of my life between Richmond and DC and know what it's like. This is the direction Country music needs to go, back to its roots of hardship and struggle.
I couldn’t agree with this more. Modern country is trash.
Country music never left it’s roots, you just have to look for it. It’s not on your radio
@@davidwhite7162 It reminds me of Bluegrass which I grew up on in the 80s thanks to my mom.
Lynchburg Virginia in the house!
@@davidwhite7162 I think that's the point though, why should people have to seak out the kind of grassroots country that the entire genre was built on?
An Aussie here, he speaks for all people who are hardworking and have little to show for it. Thank you for the breakdown.
It's truly a World's Anthem.
Yes, this song is for everyone around the world in every country!!!!
Mad respect from the oil patch in Northern Alberta. 🇨🇦❤️🇺🇲
People like me. People like you.
Why does not he get a job for a change?
This song is an anthem for the working class..doesn’t matter left or right we all get screwed.
Lmao no this whole song is steeped in conservative rhetoric
@@loganjonesTTMS it's funny how twisted American's ideas of conservatism and liberalism are. One of the two sides advocates for more taxes to the rich and higher base pay. It is not the conservatives lol
I think there are connotations but overall the song has a clear message about lack of representation and a feeling of loss of control. I think everyone except the very rich and powerful feel that way in this country. The problem is until people can look through the propaganda and focus on the real economic issues, there will be no change.
@@loganjonesTTMSyou've totally missed it. Point out the "conservative" talking points.
Are you mad that your support for the Rich Men is failing?
Or are you upset about being called out for your support of the minors on an island?
@@Uphold-your-RightsNorth of Richmond is obvious reference to civil war since Richmond was capital of confederacy. The reference to welfare and tax is obvious right wing rhetoric as people getting fat from welfare is not a real economic problem, but rather just right wing anti-welfare rhetoric.
Also pointless to say it's just appealing to working class when both far-left and far-right do that. That's one of their main rhetorical points most often, which is why unstable countries like ones with high inflation usually fall into far-left or far-right, because both are best at exploiting appeal to anxieties of working class and young men.
You can't fake what Oliver Anthony has and if you can't feel this song you have no soul.
AAABSOLUTELY! I've been sharing this song with everyone I know. And someone very close to me responded by saying, "ok? And? I don't get your hype at all?" All I could say was, "wow. Guess you're part of the problem he's referring to, then?" I'm honestly at a loss as to how to have a normal relationship with this person now. To me, if this doesn't stir emotion in you, it says A LOT about who you really are. Love and respect to you ❤
as a working class person myself I can feel it in my soul. Fast food industry does not pay enough. It's hard for me to feed my 5 kids on just $10 / hr. I hope we can get everyone on board with a $20 / hr minimum wage. workers unite!
If u dont feel or relate to this song, then this song is written about YOU! And it's time to take a good hard look in the mirror and ask yourself how u let yourself get to where your at, and what u need to change to being doing it for the right reasons.
@@danielupchurch6024 Exactly! Anyone who is earning $80k / yr or more just can't relate. Only us poor fast food and retail workers understand this song.
We loss young vets every day to suicide. And he's in Virginia coal mineing country .
I’m subscribed to everyone that reacts to this amazing song of unity. I’m a 55 year old black man, Marine veteran and 28 years working as a high volt linemen. This song made me redirect my energy. White people aren’t the problem. Rich people are. I should have known that! But I was brainwashed. My eyes are open! I love you Americans ! We are all in the same boat. And it’s going full sail to hell. United we stand brothers!
I saw another reaction to this by a guitar player, he pointed out that if you pay attention to his hands towards the end, his hands are shaking with emotion as he plays. He put a LOT of heart and soul in this.
Thank you for that insight!!
I noticed that. During the last chorus, he is actually crying and loses the control of his voice. Immaculate.
That was michale palmisano:)
He IS a phenomenon. This song is the #1 song in the entire world, after just 4 or so days.
It’s nice to hear a real song, no beats, no auto tune, just a guy and his guitar, real talent.
Simple.....and with only 4 chords .
Well said, I agree. 👍
Actually not a guitar that's a Dobro supposed to be played flat with a slide.
You might also like Benjamin Tod then. Great songwriter. Just a dude and a guitar and sometimes a harmonica. Has stuff with a band too but under his name it's just him. Simple but clever lyrics.
@@idahorcguy7760 look up Gretsch Resonator guitar
0:58 I love his voice his sound his lyrics his dogs the backround, everything!
Dude killed it and made a song for all of us 🙏🏻🥹🇺🇸💕
The most amazing thing to me is that this is literally the first song the guy has been able to record with an actual camera and microphone. All his other stuff was just done on his cell phone.
His first live gig after this song came out had over a 1000 people show up and sing along with this song, including modern country royalty, Jamey Johnson, who got on stage and sang with him.
I listen to this song on repeat for hours in a row- it is medicine to my soul- it screams out for the muffled, tired, beaten down broken spirit
As someone from rural ohio, I can definitely back all of this. I'm glad his music finally got recognition
6 days ago he had 200 subs... He has a intro video explaining his message and it will just hit you in your feels. Genuine dude. So happy for him going viral
This song was a catharsis, for all of us. Like finally exhaling after holding your breath for far too long. Well done Knox, and especially Oliver.
I think Oliver speaks for the majority of the common sense Americans!
Don't think so small- people everywhere
@@odochartaighofodonegal2351 Oh yes! This message resonates all around the world.
@@odochartaighofodonegal2351 I agree! This is a world wide issue
Old Soul means maturity beyond your years AKA Common sense 🤟you hit the nail. ⛪👨👩👧👦🇺🇸🤟🔥💪
common sense Americans! what a joke haha, thank you had good laugh, greeting from europe
There is no record label or industry leader who has this much power to make a song that reaches literally across the world. This is pure gold and it is organic. It isn't right or left it is an anthem for the ages. The media doesn't know what to make of him bc the media didn't create him. Some No Right nO lEFT nO mIDDLE PEPS IN NC DI told some truth to all haha
I love this song! Im hoping that when those record labels come calling he turns them down. Don't want him to change and sell his old soul.
Everybody has warned him about who not to entertain with his fame.
He turned down 8 million dollars. 👍
That was a beautiful song. Oliver gave everything he had in that performance just awesome.
His voice just touches your soul!! This is what Appalachian music sounds like pure beauty ❤❤️❤️
Pure Appalachian music for sure!
I’ve heard this song probably 40 to 50 times in the last 24 hours and it still gives me chills brings tears to my eyes. This is definitely our new national anthem!
Same!
This Song Brought Tears to my Eye's. Been listening to this all Day.
Thank You Oliver Anthony. ❤
This brings chills and touches the soul… it’s like the spirit of America weeping.
Let's gooo! I knew you'd get around to this at some point, that was his first video using a microphone and real camera, he was battling alcoholism a month ago and told God he was ready to quit and prayed for a sign and then literally went from like 500 subscribers or something to literally top of iTunes charts 10s of millions of views combined across platforms, played a show at a farmers market yesterday and thousands showed up and there was 20 people there watching him a couple months ago. WILD ass story. Stoked for buddy 🙌 🙏
I was there, i live right down the street. He showed up an hour early and stayed til almost 6pm meeting everyone, genuine real deal
@joel7546 damn!!! Thats awesome, I would have definitely been there if I was within a couple hours away, we are in MD. Glad to hear it, you witnessed a cool part of his journey for sure.
Sweet name by the way Joel! 😅
@@joelexline9 its Joe L lol
@joel7546 🤣 oops! Well still a good name and initial LOL
beautiful story, I wasn't aware that he had a problem tipping the bottle back. he got serious with God and God not only saw him through the alcoholism but gave him people to sing his songs to, it is absolutely amazing what God can do. it proves He is as alive and as powerful today as He was on the first day of creation. what he gave to Mr. Anthony He offers to everyone through Jesus Christ. this is beautiful.
I was hoping you'd cover this, Knox! Congrats, on a Million subs!!!!! This song speaks to the soul! It's a song that did more for this country in a matter of a few minutes than the corrupt govt have done for the American people in DECADES! God bless oliver for sharing this with all of us. This is the sentiment we all feel and it was so beautifully done. I've been nonstop listening to this and it cuts deeper and deeper each time. You know you're doing something right when you get over 10 million views in 5 days when no one knew your name before! WE HEAR YOU OLIVER ANTHONY, WE KNOW WHO ARE NOW!!!!! ❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤
"Young Men are putting themselves 6 feet in the ground bcuz all this damn country does is keep kicking them down. That line is soul splicing. My brother was one of them men. Miss him every day.
Oh I’m so sorry for your loss. What is being done to men in our country is a damn shame.
@ourcozycorner8517 thank you. That really means a lot. He left behind 2 beautiful children and a family that grieves his loss every day. It'll be 9 years April 21st. He had the same job for 14 years and lost it for a ridiculous reason and he didn't make it 6 month's. I'm unfortunately the one who found him, and this song just resonates with me on such a deep and personal level.
@@Ginaarceci that is so tragic. If I could hug you I would. I’m adding you & your family to my prayer list. 💜 press on.
@@ourcozycorner8517 thank you for words of kindness and encouragement. That's what we do, WE press on. I will always push forward, no matter how difficult it might be at time's. Brighter days are ahead. God bless you and your family.
@@GinaarceciI'm sorry darlin for your family's tragedy good men seem to be taking themselves out of this world more and more. God love you and will watch over his babies too ❤
A good singer can sing with emotion...this isn't that...this is raw emotion singing...nothing fake or polished, just raw emotion...
The life expectancy drop that has occurred (especially for white working class individuals) has been attributed to “deaths of despair”. Basically ODs, alcoholism, and gun deaths/suicides.
People trying to numb their pain and at the same time need painkillers to be functional to work the hard hours when your body is trying to quit on you. Can’t take off or you lose your job and everything with that.
I’ve got 3 years clean, but lost my brother, best friend , cousin, uncle, ex, and countless other friends and acquaintances. Sometimes this world is so overwhelming and you feel your on a hamster wheel trying to keep basic things like a roof over your head possible.
God Bless you, so many looses, hard to bare. God must have his hand on you in a way that's getting you through each day.
God Bless you!!
Every lyric is powerful, speaks directly to the state of the country in this moment
Thank you Knox Hill, you are truly amazing of what you do. U-value music and his purity you break it down to a point to where it's simplistic, yet the context is complex. This was an amazing song. Many more needed to hear and many more will thanks to you
I am so glad that artist's like him, Ren, Tom McDonald and you, understand how the average person feels right now. The country is a hamster wheel that most of us can't get off of.
I work 6 days a week and I am homeless. Literally watching this video in my tent illegally camping on state land because I can't afford rent. Needless to say this song hits hard for me

This song hits home and hard. As a blue collar worker I totally relate to this song. I am fed up with the feds stealing my hard earned money for wars I don't believe in and all the other b.s. they waste money on. God this is a good song. It's very well written and performed. This man is singing from the depths of his soul. I appreicatie this song VERY MUCH.
Always appreciate your perspective on things Knox, this is a beautiful song that relates to people globally, I’ve seen people from UK and Australia and even Jamaica I think resonating with this song. I’ve been watching reactions nonstop for the past two days to this guys song and I tear up a little bit every time I hear it. Hope everybody’s staying safe and well in this ole world
Totally agree. As he says at the beginning of the song, it's a world problem, many countries around the world are struggling. Here in the UK, interest rates are rising, inflation is rising, mortgage rates are going up, rent rises, unemployment rising. Like he says working class people are struggling to pay the bills, while the rich politicians and their rich businessman friends aren't. We need more Olivers to get the message out there and we all need to come together to stand up to the "establishment". Peace and love to all the every day working families, regardless of colour, race or religion ✌️🙏♥️
@@maximus6622 absolutely man, the part that always gets me is ‘young men putting themselves six feet underground cause all this damn country does is keep kicking them down’, paraphrasing because I might’ve missed a word or two, but from what I’ve heard and seen since I first hear this song is that almost everyone feels the same everywhere. This is a cruel world man, and it shouldn’t be that way.
@@Zer0t0lerance93 Too right my friend. Oliver is speaking up for the common man that millions of people around the world can relate to. He deserves to become a super star.
@@maximus6622 he deserves everything and more.
I listened to it just this morning! It's a great song... I'm a southern gal whose dad played the guitar, so these always feel like home. But these poignant words are well delivered and hard-hitting for these times. Great breakdown✌️🖤 Luv ya Professor
I think we are finally in beginning stages of a turn for the good people in this country. We are fed up!
They don't care. They never have.
Knox I just found your channel this weekend and I have spent an embarrassing amount of time watching your reactions. You are so talented. The only thing I want to tell you is the line is “I wish they cared about Miners, not just minors on an island somewhere” so another play on words like Rich men North of Richmond. He just quit drinking I read in an article and he had fallen on his knees and prayed for God to help him and now he’s been blessed with us all feeling this song in our hearts. Oliver’s song and his voice is incredible and speaks for not just working class men but us women too who were promised that if we worked hard we could each have our own American dream but it’s just not as true as it was decades ago. Keep up the amazing work! I’m not a big rap fan but I’m a big Tom McDonald fan and your breakdowns are beyond impressive! I have been keeping your wife in my prayers as well as your twin girls! I pray she’s doing much better today ❤🙏🏻They are so lucky to have such a wonderful dad and husband who so clearly loves his girls ❤bless you all.
When I found h I s videos I did the same. I lobe his reactions and analysis
I ♥️ this Song and the Soul in it.
I like how he doesn't let his message get bogged down in what can get used to divide us like the culture war, or partisan politics.
He wrote The People's Anthem that will go down in history.
When it feels like all hope is lost, Christopher Oliver Anthony shows up at the perfect moment, restoring my faith in humanity while bringing ALL people together 🫂
I'm so proud of him and I hope he never has to work a nine-to-five from here on out 🙏🏼
He's speaking for all of us, he's the voice for ALL HUMANITY and I'm so grateful because nowadays people are afraid to speak up about anything out of fear of being arrested or worse just for speaking your truth and saying how they feel 🥺
Thank you Chris,
For literally giving me hope again.
It's so refreshing knowing there are other people out there just like me, thanks to this song.
🥺I'm so overwhelmed because I almost lost hope in humanity, I have been wondering what happened to all of the kind, compassionate and loving people.
Thanks to this song, I found my people! ☺️ now I don't feel so alone & invisible. We have to come together 🙏🏼🫂🙏🏼 as One United Family to fight this evil that continues to divide us so they can control us more easily. 💯
This is the beginning of our fight, the fight for our freedom and the fight for a country.
Sending Love 💌, light🕯️and positive vibes🧘🏻to all my people! 🤍🕊️🤍
Everyone on the planet can relate to this song. When you see a person living out of a shopping cart...know that they weren't always like this. They just need some help, but everyone has turned their backs on them. Humanity has failed them.
The folk song for our time! 🇺🇸🤟
Thank you so much for sharing. Ive been basically binge watching reaction videos on this piece and im amazed and excited to see folks from every walk of life and even other countries being touched by RNOR. This song is a testimony that we are much more united than MSM and politicians want us to believe.
Absolutely love the "deer corn" joke with the deerstand in the background 😅👌🏻
Thought it was appropriate lol. I normally record my intros after I do my reactions
Hello from the Appalachian mnts of southwest Virginia!!!
Yes our mnt ppl and culture ARE JUST THE BEST!!!! 🇺🇲❤️🤍💙🦅
LOVE YOUR CHANNEL!
You on the other side of Franklin!?!?!?
@@shogo359 on the virginia/Tennessee line.
From abingdon.. living in Lodi right now. Lodi is between glade spring and damascus va!😊👍no stores. No red lights just farm land !!
This isn't just a song, it's an Anthem. It's what our country needed desperately! What a classical masterpiece.
The Rich get richer The poor get poorer and the middle never moves 😔TY Ely for the music Ely The People's Guy has got a full playlist of BANGERS in his playlist on CZcams 🔥🔥🔥 if you ever bother to listen please tell him i sent you please RESPECT 👊🏻✌🏻❤🙏🏻🌍
This man came out swingin' and just started hitting harder and harder and harder. Not a single wasted word in this whole song.
Knox, it’s not like you to miss a double like that! “Look out for miners, not just minors on an island somewhere”😉
Well, if I was breaking down a rap it’s pretty obvious. But I just let it go cause I thought there wouldn’t be doubles with this type of music lol. How wrong I was
I don’t think anyone expected that voice 😅 everything about this is 🔥🔥🔥 I think what he is saying about welfare is that it’s used to keep people down. Thanks 😊great reaction as always ❤
I hate seeing folks buying LOBSTER WITH THEIR FOODSTAMPS!! And I’m over here buying extra rice to stretch out the meat because we don’t qualify. It’s messed the f up.
@@peachykeen7634 definitely messed up
No he's using the conservative "welfare queen" rhetoric to rag on people who receive welfare and also to complain about paying taxes.
@@peachykeen7634 Why is it your business if someone wants to buy a lobster with food stamps? Are poor people not allowed to eat lobster? Ridiculous.
@@loganjonesTTMS and that’s EXACTLY the argument from out of touch rich people every time and it’s bullcrap. No, food stamps is not supposed to be for luxury items. Lobster is $12/lb. Beef is $5/lb, chicken is $3/lb. If someone can afford lobster on their food stamps, they don’t need it. Period. If I had food stamps, I’d be spending it all on more affordable meats.
i like that they recorded this outside. even the birds stopped singing to listen to him.
Man, I love this. I really appreciate reactors bringing music like this to all different walks of life. The more we can realize that we are all in this together, the better we can make the world together. Funny enough, many artists in punk, indie rock, alternative rock, rap, hip hop, folk, and country are all speaking the same message. If we can look beyond geography, skin color, etc, we can make a difference and finally elect some officials to actually represent us rather than just ticking the boxes of people with the most advertising $$ or whoever a celebrity said to vote for.
"Put down the cake"...in the words of a wise man :D
Good job….lol….funny🤣🤣
There is something universal about a song that is so honest and true..
Just a man in the woods with his guitar and dogs. Great song.
So excited you jumped on this and did a reaction! 💯🙌🔥
He's a real artist and appears to be a humble AND kind. 🙏 CREEKSQUAD
Hits really hard as a small construction company owner in a tiny Montana town
Thanks for doing this reaction! This guy deserves ALL the attention he can take.
His voice is phenomenal
A good song writer can make you feel what they feel . This song does that on both sides of the isle .
Mother said the rich get richer the poor poorer,she would be 100 years old this year if she had lived that long ,she worked hard like a man to make ends meet,she use today how y'all gonna make it when I am not here anymore..All I can do is cry and pray when I heard Oliver.Thank you for all your doing.
I was with him until the welfare part. I still think it’s a beautiful song and I agree with a lot of it, but I feel it’s unproductive for us to point the finger at each other. That’s exactly what the billionaire class wants us to do. Anything to divide us and prevent us from realizing and utilizing our collective power. I think the pentagon losing around three billion dollars and not being able to account for it is a much bigger problem than people who are living in poverty eating their feelings because they are stuck in this same depressing nightmare with the rest of us. Overall, I think he clearly put his whole heart into this and you can feel his sorrow. Beautiful and heartbreaking.
I think you don't understand it's the politions who push the welfare and are actually keeping people down by making them dependent on the welfare so they can control people. Government is not doing it to help people and that's what people don't understand.
This some is amazing
i work everyday 10 hours a day.. slipped disk lower back arthritis and a pinched nerve in my left hip... 4 kids and a wife.. i cant stop!
Love you did this shows your range of knowledge of music kudos my good man
Always enjoy your reactions. You catch every detail that go over the heads of many others who react to songs. For me, when he refers to his old soul, it means old time values, God, family, country, merit. Today's world has no time for any of it. We have become more distant from what is truly important and have turned our eyes to a less desirable way of life.
Absolutely, EVERYBODY needs to put God back in their lives, like our brother Oliver Anthony did. And now look at him, breaking the charts and CZcams channels. 🙏🎶❤️🇺🇸
Love his music. Should try Colter Wall too please.
This man is speaking for the whole world right now, and uniting people everywhere! We need to stand together cuz this crap is real truth and its scary out there... wtf happened to this world 😢
I am so happy you reacted to this! This song needs to be everywhere
Awesome stuff, thanks for sharing.
☕🤔🇺🇸
I’m glad to see you react to this song. This could be the most powerful song of our generation, it’s definitely the most powerful song of this decade. I feel like it speaks to millions of Americans and even people across the globe.
It's the most powerful song in living memory.
Knox no BS, I find your reactions are definitely above the rest. You are about to explain things that all other reactors overlook or don't understand.
Damn this dude has some real authentic soul to his voice! Loved this song!! Thanks Knox for this reaction!!
Man I’d love to see you react to Zach Bryan seeing how much you loved this kind of country.
Great suggestion! I think Knox would love his soulful music.
Just subbed.... want my corn dammit lolol😅
That raw sound takes folks songs of the 50s and 60s to a whole new level . Cash ,jennings,Tennessee ernie Ford, patsie smiling down on him
My husband is a contractor thermite welder for the railroad and is gone months at a time he works as hard as he can to make sure me and our kids have what we need we will be celebrating our 17 year anniversary been together since our senior year and this hits at home
I think it’s look out for the miners not just minors on an island somewhere. Could be wrong though
You are correct
Correct
I think we're forgetting the REAL victims here: The fudge rounds companies.
😂
Everyone I seen react to the song says they relate to “living in a new world of an old soul“. I think that speaks more to the fact that we don’t all have old souls, this new world just isn’t good for ANY human soul.
Before the Internet, things were much slower, and much harder, and much less connected in many ways. But in other ways, not having 1000 notifications demanding your attention all the time surely made life more restful and family centered… And meaningful.
Pure soul. Touches each and every one of us. Thank you for sharing both.
Miners/minors.
Was a double lol
Was thinking thought but then I was like nah this isn’t rap lol
@@KnoxHill If you notice he did a slant rhyme with heat/eat (Somehow). Also the obvious Rich men in Richmond slant rhyme at the end of the chorus. Also “obese milkin’ welfare.” Dope word association. He’s a writer! 🖊️
The sad thing is, very few people know what real manual labor is anymore. When I was fifteen I got my social security card and work permit. I'd go straight from school to work at JC Penny unloading a truck full of new stock. If it was time to bring in hay I'd go with a friend to his grandfather's house and spend hours on a wagon holding a strap in one hand and a hook in the other scooping up bales of hay and stacking them on a wagon. I got a paycheck from JC Penny and a home-cooked meal at the farm
It's a good thing that less people have to do backbreaking manual labour.
@@loganjonesTTMSno it’s why everyone’s pussies now. Half of teens these days are just so lazy. There is such a high work demand yet nobody wants to work cuz their so damn lazy
I'm so glad you did this song. I love your deep thoughts.
Loved your reaction. Thanks for your Great Work! 🙂
Thank you Knox for checking out this one. Great reaction brother! ❤
I am amused that a rapper thinks that rap invented rhyming.
In terms of truth-bombs, this song is like a nuclear war.
The fact that knox hill is reacting to Chris is amazing. Knox hill can read the bars and break them down for the ones that don't know what he actually saying. This man has been through it and sees what happening to this country and is man enough to say it aloud
You can really feel that song right through your heart & Soul. Oliver Anthony is the real deal. Man I hate the labels these days they kill all the great music and musicians now. Like Oliver Anthony. Thank god for the reaction channels and Knox is the best of them all. I like many others and subscribe to others. But Knox is #1 for Me!
Miners/Minors
Ya, we can add Oliver and his bluegrass tune to the likes of Tom M. Adam C. John R. and many more. The more genres that can spit the truth, the larger the audience and awareness becomes. Awesome breakdown.
His CZcams video has actually gotten more views than Tom and Acal's new song. I hope he stays independent.
dont forget jason aldeans new song
Just a man, who happened to made music that resonated with the general public, now he is a superstar just because he sang from the HEART
“Living in the new world with an old soul”
Im 21 but i feel like an old man seeing everything decay and loose its soul.
This man has touched a nerve. He is going to be loved by common men and hated by the left.
No, loved by the left too. I know, i am one. When did you ever get the idea that we were so unlike you. That breaks my heart. My liberalism is more about civil rights than anything else. Please don't perpetuate the division with assumption. Please
Lefts won’t like this? C’mon now.
Why the hell do we have to be so divided? We’re all on the same sinking ship. It will sink no matter what “side” we subscribe to. We all bleed red.
@redangel169 The left is already losing their mind on this song, primarily the 300 lb. Lyric, calling him racist....the usual leftist attack
@@redangel169 I think he means the left elite. He probably won't be liked much by the right elite either. The ones on the left who control the media are going to do everything they can do to destroy this man.
When you find your way out of the urban jungles of the country, away from the rampant crime, away from the drag shows, away from the "mostly peaceful protests," this song is what most of the real America sounds like. I don't even listen to country music, but I can feel every note and every word of this song in my chest.
