This channel is about finding new music & finding yourself. If you dig Oliver, I know you’ll dig my friend Travis, too. This is one of the best songs I've ever heard. czcams.com/video/WC4Ei1I1ZNU/video.html
This argument that you are the only one that can bring you down is a pleasant falsity. A murderer can bring you down. What is happening politically and what this song is talking about is figurative murder. You saying that you are apolitical and that you don’t vote or don’t get involved is what allows those Rich Men North of Richmond to figuratively murder you and cause the troubles they are causing. Otherwise good video.
This man delivers our welding supplies. He is a gentle soul and deserves this. I was mind blown to see this for him. Thank you and keep it coming for him
This man is singing how us blue collar people feel and it resonates. Edit: Evidently this song touches all classes and walks of life. It's time we come together and stop arguing over silly matters and fight the real problem!
I watched Oliver's video last night. I've been watching reaction videos ever since. What struck me most about your reaction was that you completely forgot that you're a guitar teacher and you're used to reacting by talking about the picking and the chord progressions. But his song is so powerful that he captured you completely. He's had that effect on me, you, and millions of people worldwide. The sky is the limit for this song. In the past 12 hours, he's gained 2 MILLION more views. there are over 60,000 comments on his video. It's earth shattering.
IDK if you meant to say earth chattering, but YOU'RE RIGHT!! I hear that this song is affecting people all around the world and they're talking about it!
This guy is just incredible and super humble. Just read an article where he stated "I've been offered multi-million dollar deals, but I don't want the fame and money. I wrote this song because of the mental state I was in." That's not word for word but close to what he said. That's a true and real musician. He tells a story. Exudes emotion.
I've got to be completely honest. This song made me so emotional! I'm almost 35 and have a wife and an almost 4 year old son. I work 80+ hours a week and I'm lucky to have a day off. This song speaks the truth! God bless all of you blue collared people out there like myself who work hard and are just barely scraping by like myself.
My granddaughter is pregnant with her 2nd son. The first is 2. Her husband works 60 hours a week on a road crew in New Mexico. 100 plus degree temps in the desert. Busts his ass for that shit pay. Good kids seriously scraping by living in an RV following the work. This song made me cry as their grandma. I sent it to them in solidarity to let them know someone else knows what they are going through and they are not alone.
keep fighting the good fight Justin .....I hope we can all rally round the flag and save each other and fight for each other till we fix the rich men up north.
@@cl5193 I don't work In the desert but I do work In a manufacturing plant. The temperatures hit 100+ every day at work so I both know and share his pain but It's 110+ worth every drop of sweat, every ache and every morning you'd much rather throw the alarm clock through the wall and call Into work. Just being able to pay the bills and provide everything that my wife and son needs every week Is thanks enough for me. Seeing my sons face light up when he gets to pick out his weekly toy and the feeling of him standing at the front door as I pull up In the driveway every evening Is well worth any and everything work may throw my way. Prayers for you, your daughter and son. I pray she has a wonderful and safe pregnancy and delivery!
That’s REAL music- not manufactured compressed- tuned- cut and pasted- marketed- sold- packaged- copied- ORIGINALITY!!!! Is true musics purest form!!! Well done! ❤
Nah the lefty types are deathly afraid, probably because he makes good points that they are totally against (i.e lower taxes, removing pedophilia and so on).
After watching a bunch of these reaction videos to this song, your reaction is the same. This dude, this song, this sound, this message just renders the listener speechless, it just hits you from so many directions that you can't even come up with proper words to react to it. This guy just sent the most powerful message since the picture of the guy standing down a tank, and he did it in a field with a dog and guitar. An incredible peice of art. This guy represents us.
The man wrote a song that so many of us can relate to. It's tough, confusing and tumultuous times in the world. A lack of leadership from every angle, big to small. Lots of folks are feeling this way and this man nailed it. What an amazing voice, such strength in the simplicity of his music. I saw this for the first time last night and had goose bumps and cold chills listening to it. And here it is! Can't wait to go see this guy.
It's not leadership, it is the lack of representation by those we have elected to represent us all. They would love to be known as "leaders" but at the end of the day they are traitors to this Nation, us, and the world.
What's really interesting is that this song appeals to both the right and the left. And I wish that would be a catalyst to understand that the bullshit we don't like on both sides is not the fault of the other side. Its the rich men. Politicians and CEOs, both.
A video was just posted today. It already look like more than 1000 in the crowd at a small town fair in North Carolina. In the video it said he played there for 20 people in July…… We are all watching the meteoric rise of the everyman folksinger…….
Brought to tears the first time I heard this. I don’t usually jump on the viral wagons, but this is so incredibly real and accurate it just got me. He is speaking total truth, and I hope this young man gets everything positive in his life his talent and voice deserve.
Lyrics hit hard on this one. We're so consumed with artificial shit all day it's refreshing to see something to truthful and real. A man with his guitar in the woods telling the truth.
4 chords and the truth hits hard. Protect Oliver at all cost - this man is a nation's treasure and is speaking for millions of Americans. This is real music for real people...
A beautiful chord progression, the Gm sets the tone on this 4 chord cycle. He really touches the music to the lyrics here. Gm I've been selling my soul D# Working all day A# Overtime hours for F Bullshit pay Gm So I can sit out here D# And waste my life away A# Ride back home and drown my F Troubles away It is a damn shame, we have woke up to a nightmare.
I'm a 39 year old husband and father of two and this is the first song that's literally made me cry. It's been so damn dark for the past few years. Thank you to Mr. Anthony so much for having the guts and for putting into words what so many of us feel!
Sure...I know the FBI of today, i.e., Biden's Secret Police, would most certainly love to trample on my Constitutional Rights for voicing my hope against hope that we finally get the violent revolution that Thomas Jefferson also foresaw as a means to ensure the Republic's continuation once a tyrannical power, such as the DemocRATs of today, requires being smote, hunted down, and exterminated. DISCLAIMER: I am waiting for the starting whistle to blow...you know, our Fort Sumpter moment sometime around the election fraud of 2024.@@brandonrichard3634
@@johnbags2525yea dude he's serious. I'm not even religious but I couldn't help but ask God for a solution to this worlds problems. The fact that he made me feel that way is real in my eyes.
@@johnbags2525No, he's not. There are people who are weirdly political who pretend they are not political at all and are free thinkers, but when there's a viral incident or talking point in the partisan media that speaks to their biases, they go out all over the internet and comment on videos and posts for creators they never knew about before just to insert their politics into new places. That's when you get cringy comments like this. These people pretend like they are enlightened and everyone who disagrees with them is a 🐑 who is brainwashed by their media, but they somehow all say the same things about the same viral conversation piece that they were told about by the same partisan media as everyone else talking about it. It's so predictable, and I found it hilarious that this artist bashed the GOP for using this song at their debate and trying to co-opt his message when he says this song is as much about them and the media that hyped the song in the first place as it is about the machine on the other side of the aisle. And before anyone calls me out, I think this is a good song by a talented artist, and the problem I'm talking about happens on both sides of the aisle. Politics just makes people turn their brains off and act like weirdos.
I'm not a musician I'm a drummer lol, I can't listen to the track without choking up every time, it resonates so much and to put it in to perspective I'm a British veteran living in England, many are awake to it all globally, ❤ to all my brothers n sisters across the pond, God has this 🙏
The problem is we have been waiting for God to handle our business for too long. We the People are the only hope. Humanity lives and dies with earth. for all we know, our species will be the only intelligent life to ever happen again. It took 4 billion years to get this far we can't throw it all way.
I was so glad to see your post. I wondered if this had reached across the pond at all and if it had what y'all thought about it. I think we are all plagued by those who want to have total control. Blessings to you, cousin.
Man this hits. I declined to work overtime at my work because it was my only day off and it had been a long week, and in response to that my hours have been cut to where I can barely pay rent. I feel like a slave most days. This type of message really resonates with how I'm feeling this year.
So sorry. We all need to know the EMBEZZLING SCAM the liars in power have been doing so we can change the inhumane system and realize the readily available solutions to IMPROVE our lives, like the Job Guarantee, as one example (see the proposal by Pavlina Tcherneva). We also need to know Jury Nullification so the corrupt oppressors can't keep incarcerating everyone. But mainly, we need to know how the sociopathic money ADDICTS in power have been embezzling fiat government money so we can end their reign; they are totally derelict in their duty and unfit to govern. Here is the MINIMUM we need to know: Remember Henry Ford said that there would be "revolution before tomorrow morning" if the people know how the money system actually worked? Well, the corrupt sociopaths in power know that government money can be issued IN ANY AMOUNT for anything that is physically possible, and they have arranged scams for decades to EMBEZZLE that money! The major one is "privatization", where they pretend they will run something better than the government and "like a business", but this scam is designed so they can bill the government ANY AMOUNT, providing massive exec salaries and insanely high profits. Wall Street firms fall over each other to invest - so do most Congress (or Parliament) members - when these entities are put on the stock market, because they know that profits are guaranteed via fiat government money. They all know that government money is NOT OUR TAXES, and that countries that issue their own currency do NOT have an actual "national debt" that the liars love to fearmonger us about, etc. We need to know what they want kept hidden from us. The US has been taking over countries since WW2 to do this embezzling scam and has built a corruption cartel of many lapdog countries; the liars demonize any leader who does not submit, to manipulate public opinion so we go along with the coups, invasions, assassinations, etc. The US also directs the WHO, created the WEF, and monolithic entities like Blackrock, Vanguard and others got so big by participating in the embezzling globally! We need to see the BS and FIGHT the lunatic money addicts and their inhumanity. They lie us into wars & then embezzle most of the war money through "privatized" war companies, incarcerate people to enrich themselves via "privatized" prisons. "Privatized" healthcare enriches insurance companies and related companies & investors, another corruption scam where they get torrents of government money but do NOT spend it on the healthcare people need. Vax companies and the digital ID systems to subjugate us are also privatized! So are all the entities to track and control us that the liars pretend are to "help the climate": social credit, ESG, carbon tracking, digital bank currency, 15-minute cities and more. The scheme was to get TRILLIONS from many governments FOREVER while ensuring we could not rise up to stop their corruption, tyranny and inhumanity. (Pretending there is not enough energy, oil, food is how they will try to force us to get those digital IDs - they will say it is so we can get our "rations" and UBI etc to try to survive.) This electronic prison to subjugate is being finalized, so time is running short for us to expose them and stop their plans for us. They use cloaking terms like "private" prisons, "for profit" healthcare, "public-private partnerships", etc, because they know that there is public backlash against privatization; we should always push back and use the CORRECT term when they do this. Currently, public education is being privatized by calling it "school choice" and "charter schools". The lunatic money addicts in power lie, destroy and KILL for more "money fixes". They are totally derelict in their duty and UNFIT TO GOVERN and should face charges of dereliction of duty, violating the Constitution, embezzling federal money, crimes against humanity, violating the Nuremberg code, war crimes and more
Michael, this is the first time I've heard this song. I came here first for your review. This is a powerful song. He's speaking the truth. And I agree with everything you've just said. Rock on!!
Then why do so many of you hard-working, blue collar people in the flyover states continue to support and vote for a serial conman like defendant Trump, whose biggest achievement in office was to explode the deficit via gifting massive tax breaks to millionaires, billionaires and corporations, so that in his one and only four year term he alone is responsible for one quarter of the total US deficient from all of the time between George Washington and Joe Biden? While at the same time cutting back on many of the things that would help you hard-working, blue collar people in the flyover states. He has pulled off the biggest smoke and mirrors con trick in US history by convincing people with little, that he has their best interests at heart, while actually doing what benefits the wealthy like him and his own kind. Wake up America!
Some of us living on the coast in California feel this way too. The politicians don't care about us (except for maybe Rand Paul and RFK, Jr., though he's not yet a politician.) And the message of stoicism rings true - we need to take care of what we can take care of and leave the rest to God.
@@seanscanlon9067 You don't know what I mean by God, and you cannot prove that God doesn't exist. All there is is God, there is nothing but God. Your faith is that there is no God, but that is a faith because you cannot prove it. And how cute of you to offer pretentious statements of superiority.
@@seanscanlon9067 You just described the Democrat playbook. Act as if they cared about "folks" while stuffing their pockets full of corporate cash. Wake yourself up sleepwalker.
First time on your channel, Rich Men North of Richmond brought me here. When I heard you say the best art comes from necessity, that it needs to come out, I subbed immediately. Absolutely beautifully put. This song touches every average person across the world, and I feel that the pain of the working Joe manifested itself through Oliver. I’m so thankful for this song.
This man makes me proud to be a Virginian! He's singing the song style I grew up with and it brings it all home....and His MESSAGE is for WE THE PEOPLE! God Bless Him.
I'm a Georgia native but spent the majority of my youth in VA and it resonates how much it changed and became more liberal below the Mason Dixon. Crazy how the bad policies spread in the old country!
People are tired of being gaslit all day everyday too and hearing this song is like a warm hug validating you’re not crazy and that there’s still hope in the world.
I'm from the foothills of rural Appalachia, I actually live right down the road from ol boy; this is how we feel as we watch our fathers die far too young of cancer and we struggle in shame to keep the land all before us were able to, but not us, at least it doesnt look that way at this point
I don't listen to bluegrass/folk or whatever genre you would classify Oliver's style... but hot damn do I LOVE this song. Everything about it is amazing, and the lyrics are spot on. It brings emotion to me every time I hear it.
This reaction is a perfect example of how powerful this song is. To start with you were all business and what cords and so on and then the lyrics got into your mind and it went away from the guitar and more about the art of the song and the music and lyrics.
I was hoping you'd share your reaction. This is a powerful song, no question. Your added words of wisdom at the end are profound, as well. Thank you for being you, Michael.
I cried the first time I heard it, and I think I tear up every single time I listen to it. "They don't think you know, but I know that you do." They think they are pulling one on the whole country. We all see them and what they do to our country. I think the whole world can see it.
@@iloveschicken6527They are doing it to the whole world. Most people haven't seen what's going on in C h ina right now. Hundreds of thousands of poor people who were flooded out of their homes when the government officials opened up reservoirs to save their capital from flooding, then created fake videos of helping people and stole aid money/ supplies. The videos will break your heart.
Love this guy!! His lyrics and his guitar!! And he’s telling a story that belongs to all of us! Living in this world with an old soul is very powerful!!!!
I’ve listened and watched a ton of your videos. Love your reviews. Even love more how silent and in awe you were taking this one in. Could see you fighting to interrupt and make a comment when you didn’t even get want to. As you said, this is what music is about - moves you and makes you think. I think this is a generational song wrought with emotion and truth.
This guy was basically rock bottom just months ago. Had a drinking problem and broke down one day to ask God for help And that he would turn his life around for a chance at a real music career. This is the result my friend.
Men are most powerful on their knees…. Oliver did that and he let God take control ….. now he knows his gift….. to Glorify God….God Bless America and God Bless Oliver …..Freedom is not Free!
You got that right. It is a war cry. The tyrants better be wary. America won its Independence with War Crys pretty much like this one. Thomas Paine would have said it's just "Common Sense".
This is exactly what I needed to hear. EVERY time I come back to your channel I am gifted with a message or an artist that I need in my life. Thank you.
This is the first time I’ve see you and just the fact that you can interpret exactly what he’s doing on the guitar along with listening to what he’s singing about is extremely impressive
Love that this song made an 'emotional stop' mid-way through for you to listen to the words and the acoustics became 'secondary for a brief moment in time 💗
John Rich has offered to pay for his record to be produced. Oliver is a working man with real problems, thats why it hits so hard. His other songs are just as good. Please support him!
I realized he was tuned down a whole step when I got my mandolin out last night and tried to play along to his new song "I want to go home" and he was capo'd up on the 4th fret and thought he was in B major and found out he was in A major. Love this guy and he needs to be protected because, either he likes it or not, he is the voice of the common man!
Respect man. So many other big CZcamsrs that comment on every single guitar related news but they're all staying 50 ft away from this topic. But this is real news. A singer songwriter with just a guitar becomes the #1 song literally overnight. It's a big deal. Regardless of the politics it's a man and his guitar. Definitely worth commenting even if it's just to discuss the phenomenon. You've earn a loyal follower for keeping it real.
The man is singing the truth! His voice, his delivery are impeccable. His emotions and frustrations we can all resonate with. God bless him. Gave me goosebumps.
That’s exactly right Michael and even though you probably don’t know this but I read in an article that Oliver is an alcoholic who just gave up drinking 30 days ago when he got on his knees and prayed for God’s help and here he is! We each have the power within ourselves if we are strong enough to realize it! He’s incredibly talented and I pray he can stay sober and keep making incredible music 🙏🏻❤️
Okay unhooked my dad where's a recovering alcoholic and helped so many people quit drinking and as a little girl I would get the coffee donuts and cookies ready for the people at the meeting that would come in to know what one of the things that people needs to live by it's one of the AAA sayings one day at a time and to know the difference pulled up Google and live by it now that I know the truth about him I will be following for him and praying for him and I would love to hear more songs from here is heart of the daily struggles that we feel and were right there with him to never give up God is right there with us God bless and amen
Maybe a better way to say it is that we all have the power within us to surrender to God. Jesus the Christ is the way, the truth, and the life and He will ALWAYS have your back if you let him.
Jesus Christ has not come before God our creator our God is our God he is above us all what's a lot of people do not understand that like it says in the Bible the number one ten commandment nobody is supposed to worship above him people seems to forget we would not even be here if it would not be for our father our creator and Jesus is the one that it will be our savior that will guide us and he does what God tells him to do just a like we need to do like God tells us to do God brought Jesus down here so let us know can follow what he and yes I said he the one that created the Bible the world everything says she just did not do it God did people needs to understand that you worship God before anyting
Somehow, after hundreds of views of your wonderful videos, somehow your reaction to this one made me smile the most. Amen Brother. haven't related to someone this much ever
@sandra, truth IS NOT SUBJECTIVE. Either something is true, based on OBJECTIVE FACTS, or it’s not. Therefore, there’s NO SUCH THING as “my truth”, or “our truth”, or “your truth”, because that implies that truth differs according to each person, that it’s based on feelings, which are subjective, rather than facts, which are objective. There’s only THE TRUTH, based on FACTS, which don’t care about your feelings (or mine, or anyone else’s). Anything other than fact based truth is propaganda. The world is full of people pushing propaganda out and calling it “truth”. Learn the difference, because truth is very important. Whenever I hear someone say “my truth”, etc., my mind immediately recognizes they are putting out propaganda, trying to push their feelings as being truth, and it’s not. Just like when I hear “THE science”, which can never be questioned, I immediately recognize it as being a Iie, pseudoscience, propaganda, because Science is based on questions, and if you’re not allowed to question the validity of something, then it’s NOT true Science. How in the world has society come to a point where they don’t know truth IS NOT subjective, and true Science INVITES people to QUESTION IT? The dumbing down of society is on open display by people who don’t know these 2 FACTS.
@@Redeemed.of.YHVH.thru.Christthat’s the problem. People think Truth is “Subjective” because society has aloud them to do so. The Sky is Blue is TRUTH. Water is wet is a TRUTH. There are only 2 Genders is a TRUTH. You been brain washed to believe that you can make your own TRUTH and that’s the whole problem!!
@exclusivityinchristishatdb5520 in short. Truth belongs to no one but God. We just get to witness it. Some will deny it. Some claim ownership over it. Some attack it. I try live and study it. I fall short, but I know there's only one Truth. The universe doesn't make sense with 8 billion different versions existing simultaneously 😅 cmon now....string theory? I can't stand that lie either, "my/our/your truth" thanks for saying something lol
3:0Clock I love this song Anthony wrote it tells it like it is and how this Government is and these politicians are I've worked hard all my life . And still trying to do something I'm 76 years old God has help me all through these years of my life !! Politicians wanting power don't care about the people of the United States . And the pay I was getting was Just penny's and people still working for penny's these taxes are to high and everything else! I thank God that he's in control if he wasn't it would really be bad. Thank God for his Grace! His saving Grace.
When I had my first guitar instructor, he asked me why I wanted to learn to play the guitar and I told him that I believe that being able to play a musical instrument is the closest I’ll ever come to being able to do real magic. This song is an example of what I mean by that statement.
💯💞🙏🇺🇸💪🥳 #OliverAnthony I truly hope these words from #OliverAnthony gives everyone being controlled by corruption around the world, the courage and strength to unite and make necessary changes that are past due 🙏 💞
This song is not lightning in a bottle. All of his songs are as good as this one. He's got one called Cobwebs And Cocaine that's just stunning. He has an great sense of wordplay. Just watched a video of a show Oliver did in Farmville, VA. He played 8-10 songs. He's gonna be around for a long time.
This man isn't just singing from his heart, he's also singing from the pit of his soul and the bottom of his gut where we've all been hit by the Rich Men North Of Richmond.
Haven't teared up at a song in a long while, This man put his entire being into this song and performance, I have been sharing it to everyone I know and trying to help it reach new ears with my microscopic reach. This mans song is important enough to be heard far and wide.
Glorious song. Speaking from the heart and pouring everything out. Brings goosebumps and makes you close your eyes in understanding. There is a reason you don't see this on mainstream channels.
Listen, I've watched this video close to 20 times since someone sent it to me yesterday afternoon and watching it this time still brings a tear to my eye. It hits you right in the heart if you've been paying attention over the past few years.
This channel is about finding new music & finding yourself. If you dig Oliver, I know you’ll dig my friend Travis, too. This is one of the best songs I've ever heard.

The man wrote a song that so many of us can relate to. It's tough, confusing and tumultuous times in the world. A lack of leadership from every angle, big to small. Lots of folks are feeling this way and this man nailed it. What an amazing voice, such strength in the simplicity of his music. I saw this for the first time last night and had goose bumps and cold chills listening to it. And here it is! Can't wait to go see this guy.
It's not leadership, it is the lack of representation by those we have elected to represent us all. They would love to be known as "leaders" but at the end of the day they are traitors to this Nation, us, and the world.
Back in the late 1990s, I could already assess the lack of leadership and the trend of education facilities producing 'mental-midgets'.
What's really interesting is that this song appeals to both the right and the left. And I wish that would be a catalyst to understand that the bullshit we don't like on both sides is not the fault of the other side. Its the rich men. Politicians and CEOs, both.

This dude’s concerts are gonna have thousands singing this song along with him. This resonates with so many folks.
Yup
He asked them to sing along.
the whole country
A video was just posted today. It already look like more than 1000 in the crowd at a small town fair in North Carolina. In the video it said he played there for 20 people in July…… We are all watching the meteoric rise of the everyman folksinger…….
I just saw him singing with a band earlier today and the crowd WAS singing along... Amazing tune!!! Old country right there....
Brought to tears the first time I heard this. I don’t usually jump on the viral wagons, but this is so incredibly real and accurate it just got me.
He is speaking total truth, and I hope this young man gets everything positive in his life his talent and voice deserve.
I love how he go in to learn the song as it goes along but is so moved by it he just has to watch it.
Lyrics hit hard on this one. We're so consumed with artificial shit all day it's refreshing to see something to truthful and real. A man with his guitar in the woods telling the truth.
Amen.
It’s not one of two Jew song writers the literal top 40 uses to make all songs.
Three chords and the truth. Real country music.
3:15 😅😅😅😅😅😅😅😊😮😅😮
Politicians are the disease
4 chords and the truth hits hard. Protect Oliver at all cost - this man is a nation's treasure and is speaking for millions of Americans. This is real music for real people...
Gretsch needs to sponsor him. Getting a ton of exposure out of the blue.
thankfully it’s good ole boys town down there in FarmVille (yes that’s the real name of that town). We keep family close 👍

You're right, the Feds are probably already looking for him.
Oliver is so genuine and heartfelt, I feel his pain. It makes me cry 😢
I know you did your homework on him. His 9+ minute cell ph video of him just telling his story is a powerful message in itself.
I'm a 39 year old husband and father of two and this is the first song that's literally made me cry. It's been so damn dark for the past few years. Thank you to Mr. Anthony so much for having the guts and for putting into words what so many of us feel!
Bingo! Same here. Took the words from my mouth, same age too.
Same mate" 84 " for me 2 kids and also a tear or 2.
Same fellas, 54 here. Just wanted y’all to know your not alone. Keep hanging tough. Sending you all me best.
i always tear up when i read the part of the gospels as Jesus is about to be crucified
I'm 54 and cried as well. Stay strong brother.

Damn right he is.
@@johnbags2525yea dude he's serious. I'm not even religious but I couldn't help but ask God for a solution to this worlds problems. The fact that he made me feel that way is real in my eyes.
@@johnbags2525No, he's not. There are people who are weirdly political who pretend they are not political at all and are free thinkers, but when there's a viral incident or talking point in the partisan media that speaks to their biases, they go out all over the internet and comment on videos and posts for creators they never knew about before just to insert their politics into new places. That's when you get cringy comments like this. These people pretend like they are enlightened and everyone who disagrees with them is a 🐑 who is brainwashed by their media, but they somehow all say the same things about the same viral conversation piece that they were told about by the same partisan media as everyone else talking about it. It's so predictable, and I found it hilarious that this artist bashed the GOP for using this song at their debate and trying to co-opt his message when he says this song is as much about them and the media that hyped the song in the first place as it is about the machine on the other side of the aisle.
And before anyone calls me out, I think this is a good song by a talented artist, and the problem I'm talking about happens on both sides of the aisle. Politics just makes people turn their brains off and act like weirdos.
I don't play a guitar, but came here to see the reaction video. I ended up with some of the best therapy to believe in yourself.
I'm not a musician I'm a drummer lol, I can't listen to the track without choking up every time, it resonates so much and to put it in to perspective I'm a British veteran living in England, many are awake to it all globally, ❤ to all my brothers n sisters across the pond, God has this 🙏
The problem is we have been waiting for God to handle our business for too long. We the People are the only hope. Humanity lives and dies with earth. for all we know, our species will be the only intelligent life to ever happen again. It took 4 billion years to get this far we can't throw it all way.
Amen brother 🙏 comment above mine is a bitter atheist, they always seem to be in a shit mood for some reason 😂
Are drummers not musicians lol? I used to drum and mainly play guitar now but drummers are vital to most music.
Change dollar to pound, and north to east, and it applies to you, mate
I was so glad to see your post. I wondered if this had reached across the pond at all and if it had what y'all thought about it. I think we are all plagued by those who want to have total control. Blessings to you, cousin.
I’ve never seen so many reviews of a song 2 days after it was released. That should tell you it’s strong
Was thinking the same thing. It's literally been covered by the entire conservative sphere as well.
Just hope as many people pay for his music as grift off of it.

How much money is he making off of this?
Man this hits. I declined to work overtime at my work because it was my only day off and it had been a long week, and in response to that my hours have been cut to where I can barely pay rent. I feel like a slave most days. This type of message really resonates with how I'm feeling this year.
So sorry. We all need to know the EMBEZZLING SCAM the liars in power have been doing so we can change the inhumane system and realize the readily available solutions to IMPROVE our lives, like the Job Guarantee, as one example (see the proposal by Pavlina Tcherneva).
We also need to know Jury Nullification so the corrupt oppressors can't keep incarcerating everyone.
But mainly, we need to know how the sociopathic money ADDICTS in power have been embezzling fiat government money so we can end their reign; they are totally derelict in their duty and unfit to govern.
Here is the MINIMUM we need to know:
Remember Henry Ford said that there would be "revolution before tomorrow morning" if the people know how the money system actually worked?
Well, the corrupt sociopaths in power know that government money can be issued IN ANY AMOUNT for anything that is physically possible, and they have arranged scams for decades to EMBEZZLE that money!
The major one is "privatization", where they pretend they will run something better than the government and "like a business", but this scam is designed so they can bill the government ANY AMOUNT, providing massive exec salaries and insanely high profits. Wall Street firms fall over each other to invest - so do most Congress (or Parliament) members - when these entities are put on the stock market, because they know that profits are guaranteed via fiat government money.
They all know that government money is NOT OUR TAXES, and that countries that issue their own currency do NOT have an actual "national debt" that the liars love to fearmonger us about, etc. We need to know what they want kept hidden from us.
The US has been taking over countries since WW2 to do this embezzling scam and has built a corruption cartel of many lapdog countries; the liars demonize any leader who does not submit, to manipulate public opinion so we go along with the coups, invasions, assassinations, etc. The US also directs the WHO, created the WEF, and monolithic entities like Blackrock, Vanguard and others got so big by participating in the embezzling globally! We need to see the BS and FIGHT the lunatic money addicts and their inhumanity.
They lie us into wars & then embezzle most of the war money through "privatized" war companies, incarcerate people to enrich themselves via "privatized" prisons. "Privatized" healthcare enriches insurance companies and related companies & investors, another corruption scam where they get torrents of government money but do NOT spend it on the healthcare people need.
Vax companies and the digital ID systems to subjugate us are also privatized! So are all the entities to track and control us that the liars pretend are to "help the climate": social credit, ESG, carbon tracking, digital bank currency, 15-minute cities and more. The scheme was to get TRILLIONS from many governments FOREVER while ensuring we could not rise up to stop their corruption, tyranny and inhumanity. (Pretending there is not enough energy, oil, food is how they will try to force us to get those digital IDs - they will say it is so we can get our "rations" and UBI etc to try to survive.) This electronic prison to subjugate is being finalized, so time is running short for us to expose them and stop their plans for us.
They use cloaking terms like "private" prisons, "for profit" healthcare, "public-private partnerships", etc, because they know that there is public backlash against privatization; we should always push back and use the CORRECT term when they do this. Currently, public education is being privatized by calling it "school choice" and "charter schools".
The lunatic money addicts in power lie, destroy and KILL for more "money fixes". They are totally derelict in their duty and UNFIT TO GOVERN and should face charges of dereliction of duty, violating the Constitution, embezzling federal money, crimes against humanity, violating the Nuremberg code, war crimes and more
Guess that you work at the post office!

Michael, this is the first time I've heard this song. I came here first for your review. This is a powerful song. He's speaking the truth. And I agree with everything you've just said. Rock on!!
This is exactly how us hardworking, blue collar people in the flyover states feel. 100%. Mr. Oliver nailed it. Thank you, sir…
Then why do so many of you hard-working, blue collar people in the flyover states continue to support and vote for a serial conman like defendant Trump, whose biggest achievement in office was to explode the deficit via gifting massive tax breaks to millionaires, billionaires and corporations, so that in his one and only four year term he alone is responsible for one quarter of the total US deficient from all of the time between George Washington and Joe Biden?
While at the same time cutting back on many of the things that would help you hard-working, blue collar people in the flyover states. He has pulled off the biggest smoke and mirrors con trick in US history by convincing people with little, that he has their best interests at heart, while actually doing what benefits the wealthy like him and his own kind.
Wake up America!
Some of us living on the coast in California feel this way too. The politicians don't care about us (except for maybe Rand Paul and RFK, Jr., though he's not yet a politician.) And the message of stoicism rings true - we need to take care of what we can take care of and leave the rest to God.
@@brushstroke3733 Aww how cute, you think Rand Paul cares about you.
And I hate to break the bad news to you, but there is no God.
@@seanscanlon9067 You don't know what I mean by God, and you cannot prove that God doesn't exist. All there is is God, there is nothing but God. Your faith is that there is no God, but that is a faith because you cannot prove it. And how cute of you to offer pretentious statements of superiority.
@@seanscanlon9067 You just described the Democrat playbook. Act as if they cared about "folks" while stuffing their pockets full of corporate cash. Wake yourself up sleepwalker.
First time on your channel, Rich Men North of Richmond brought me here. When I heard you say the best art comes from necessity, that it needs to come out, I subbed immediately. Absolutely beautifully put. This song touches every average person across the world, and I feel that the pain of the working Joe manifested itself through Oliver. I’m so thankful for this song.
Hard hitting lyrics backed by a guitar style thats soft and almost sounds like a lullaby. What a brilliant contrast!
This man makes me proud to be a Virginian! He's singing the song style I grew up with and it brings it all home....and His MESSAGE is for WE THE PEOPLE! God Bless Him.
Go listen to his song about Virginia, it is soo good!
Same!!!
I'm a Georgia native but spent the majority of my youth in VA and it resonates how much it changed and became more liberal below the Mason Dixon. Crazy how the bad policies spread in the old country!
People are tired of being gaslit all day everyday too and hearing this song is like a warm hug validating you’re not crazy and that there’s still hope in the world.
The way you break down the lyrics is exactly what us working men feel day to day. Good stuff. Keep it up.
His song is pure emotion . Only Oliver can deliver it because it came from his heart and its undeniable.
I'm from the foothills of rural Appalachia, I actually live right down the road from ol boy; this is how we feel as we watch our fathers die far too young of cancer and we struggle in shame to keep the land all before us were able to, but not us, at least it doesnt look that way at this point
Im not american. Im canadian.
This song has made me tear up every time i hear it. Going on like a dozen times now.
Me too! You guys are going through as much (or more) tyranny as the US!
Y'all got those same rich men north of Richmond there too
It's no different for you north of the border, they're the same men doing the same things. We're all feeling this way, my Canadian cousin.
Me too from UK
It's the same all around the world. There is always enough money for wars but not to help the hungry and the sick
He’s so talented! Such a poet! So soulful. The truth always rings true for us all.
I don't listen to bluegrass/folk or whatever genre you would classify Oliver's style... but hot damn do I LOVE this song. Everything about it is amazing, and the lyrics are spot on. It brings emotion to me every time I hear it.
Its Appalachian Folk. :-)
@timothyblazer1749 That sounds about right...thanks for the clarification. This song kicks ass

Yup. Exactly.
This song actually brought tears to my eyes. 🥺

Can’t stop listening to this with tears in my eyes. Shown it to all four of my boys, because they need to KNOW what real men feel every day.
This song is an important moment. I’m seeing people that NEVER talk about politics are reacting passionately to this one.
Oliver Anthony just became my musical hero ! And I’m not a big music fan, but this guy just speaks to my soul !
I think this song blew me away more than any other I've ever heard ! It's truely amazing.
I cried the first time I heard it, and I think I tear up every single time I listen to it. "They don't think you know, but I know that you do." They think they are pulling one on the whole country. We all see them and what they do to our country. I think the whole world can see it.

Love this guy!! His lyrics and his guitar!! And he’s telling a story that belongs to all of us!
Living in this world with an old soul is very powerful!!!!
I’ve listened and watched a ton of your videos. Love your reviews. Even love more how silent and in awe you were taking this one in. Could see you fighting to interrupt and make a comment when you didn’t even get want to. As you said, this is what music is about - moves you and makes you think. I think this is a generational song wrought with emotion and truth.
I’ve Never seen a song blow up so fast! He captured every single thing we all feel every day….
The only song I can think of that came close was Clouds by Zach Sobiech, a song made by a young man dying of cancer.
I've never 'seen' a song so many people can relate to. And it's not the chords or lyrics (even though they are amazing)... It's the raw emotion 🥲
This guy was basically rock bottom just months ago. Had a drinking problem and broke down one day to ask God for help And that he would turn his life around for a chance at a real music career. This is the result my friend.
God will always provide. All you have to do is ask
@@zrichards907 Well, you have to put the work in too. He did.
God is good. Praise the Lord.

I say that often. Love this song.
Reminds me of Brian Wilson - I guess I just wasn't made for these times 🎶
I felt that line deep in my soul
Best wishes to the USA from a guy in Scotland.
Make no mistake that this is not just a song, it's a war cry of truth. Flags go on top of songs like this.

You got that right. It is a war cry. The tyrants better be wary. America won its Independence with War Crys pretty much like this one. Thomas Paine would have said it's just "Common Sense".
That innuendo line about minors on an island is brilliant!
This man just wrote a ballad for the ages...might possibly be one of the most powerful songs ever written.
This song is amazing on so many levels. Message, poetry, universality and impact overpower the guitar, and the guitar's amazing,
This is exactly what I needed to hear. EVERY time I come back to your channel I am gifted with a message or an artist that I need in my life. Thank you.
“The best art must come out, it needs to be created. It comes from necessity”
Its like sharing a piece of your soul.
This dude life changed 2 days ago when they published this and this world changed a little too
Yes it did
This is the first time I’ve see you and just the fact that you can interpret exactly what he’s doing on the guitar along with listening to what he’s singing about is extremely impressive
Love that this song made an 'emotional stop' mid-way through for you to listen to the words and the acoustics became 'secondary for a brief moment in time 💗
John Rich has offered to pay for his record to be produced. Oliver is a working man with real problems, thats why it hits so hard. His other songs are just as good. Please support him!
This song resonates with people around the entire world. It goes to show how much this song speaks for the people.

I realized he was tuned down a whole step when I got my mandolin out last night and tried to play along to his new song "I want to go home" and he was capo'd up on the 4th fret and thought he was in B major and found out he was in A major. Love this guy and he needs to be protected because, either he likes it or not, he is the voice of the common man!
Respect man. So many other big CZcamsrs that comment on every single guitar related news but they're all staying 50 ft away from this topic. But this is real news. A singer songwriter with just a guitar becomes the #1 song literally overnight. It's a big deal. Regardless of the politics it's a man and his guitar. Definitely worth commenting even if it's just to discuss the phenomenon. You've earn a loyal follower for keeping it real.
The man is singing the truth! His voice, his delivery are impeccable. His emotions and frustrations we can all resonate with. God bless him. Gave me goosebumps.
That’s exactly right Michael and even though you probably don’t know this but I read in an article that Oliver is an alcoholic who just gave up drinking 30 days ago when he got on his knees and prayed for God’s help and here he is! We each have the power within ourselves if we are strong enough to realize it! He’s incredibly talented and I pray he can stay sober and keep making incredible music 🙏🏻❤️
Okay unhooked my dad where's a recovering alcoholic and helped so many people quit drinking and as a little girl I would get the coffee donuts and cookies ready for the people at the meeting that would come in to know what one of the things that people needs to live by it's one of the AAA sayings one day at a time and to know the difference pulled up Google and live by it now that I know the truth about him I will be following for him and praying for him and I would love to hear more songs from here is heart of the daily struggles that we feel and were right there with him to never give up God is right there with us God bless and amen
I definitely want to know more about him now
Oliver is loved, ❤️🙏🇺🇸🙏❤️
Maybe a better way to say it is that we all have the power within us to surrender to God. Jesus the Christ is the way, the truth, and the life and He will ALWAYS have your back if you let him.
Jesus Christ has not come before God our creator our God is our God he is above us all what's a lot of people do not understand that like it says in the Bible the number one ten commandment nobody is supposed to worship above him people seems to forget we would not even be here if it would not be for our father our creator and Jesus is the one that it will be our savior that will guide us and he does what God tells him to do just a like we need to do like God tells us to do God brought Jesus down here so let us know can follow what he and yes I said he the one that created the Bible the world everything says she just did not do it God did people needs to understand that you worship God before anyting
This is one of the best songs I’ve heard in a very long time ❤
Somehow, after hundreds of views of your wonderful videos, somehow your reaction to this one made me smile the most. Amen Brother. haven't related to someone this much ever
Thank you Michael Palmisano for sharing this talent of Oliver Anthony who is expressing our truth.
@sandra, truth IS NOT SUBJECTIVE. Either something is true, based on OBJECTIVE FACTS, or it’s not. Therefore, there’s NO SUCH THING as “my truth”, or “our truth”, or “your truth”, because that implies that truth differs according to each person, that it’s based on feelings, which are subjective, rather than facts, which are objective. There’s only THE TRUTH, based on FACTS, which don’t care about your feelings (or mine, or anyone else’s). Anything other than fact based truth is propaganda. The world is full of people pushing propaganda out and calling it “truth”. Learn the difference, because truth is very important. Whenever I hear someone say “my truth”, etc., my mind immediately recognizes they are putting out propaganda, trying to push their feelings as being truth, and it’s not. Just like when I hear “THE science”, which can never be questioned, I immediately recognize it as being a Iie, pseudoscience, propaganda, because Science is based on questions, and if you’re not allowed to question the validity of something, then it’s NOT true Science. How in the world has society come to a point where they don’t know truth IS NOT subjective, and true Science INVITES people to QUESTION IT? The dumbing down of society is on open display by people who don’t know these 2 FACTS.
@@Redeemed.of.YHVH.thru.Christthat’s the problem. People think Truth is “Subjective” because society has aloud them to do so. The Sky is Blue is TRUTH. Water is wet is a TRUTH. There are only 2 Genders is a TRUTH. You been brain washed to believe that you can make your own TRUTH and that’s the whole problem!!
Yeah, my truth started with liberals on college campuses, this dude is just spitting out facts, formerly known as the truth.
There is no “our” truth. That’s Marxist doctrine There’s only one truth.
@exclusivityinchristishatdb5520 in short. Truth belongs to no one but God. We just get to witness it. Some will deny it. Some claim ownership over it. Some attack it. I try live and study it. I fall short, but I know there's only one Truth. The universe doesn't make sense with 8 billion different versions existing simultaneously 😅 cmon now....string theory? I can't stand that lie either, "my/our/your truth" thanks for saying something lol
That song is so true. It brings me to tears. Ten of millions of people feel the same way. Let's make Oliver Anthony a household name.
3:0Clock I love this song Anthony wrote it tells it like it is and how this Government is and these politicians are I've worked hard all my life . And still trying to do something I'm 76 years old God has help me all through these years of my life !! Politicians wanting power don't care about the people of the United States . And the pay I was getting was Just penny's and people still working for penny's these taxes are to high and everything else! I thank God that he's in control if he wasn't it would really be bad. Thank God for his Grace! His saving Grace.
Amen! I agree. So tired of evil politicians
The compation in this guys reaction.touched me. Great review brother.
When I had my first guitar instructor, he asked me why I wanted to learn to play the guitar and I told him that I believe that being able to play a musical instrument is the closest I’ll ever come to being able to do real magic.
This song is an example of what I mean by that statement.
Such a gripping song. Amazing lyrics, amazing voice. Hits the soul of men today. God help us all in our struggles!!!
The voice! Pain all shot thru.
big shot out to Mr. Oliver Anthony speaking truth for the hard working man living paycheck to paycheck. well done brother. much much love brother!!!!

This song is not lightning in a bottle. All of his songs are as good as this one. He's got one called Cobwebs And Cocaine that's just stunning. He has an great sense of wordplay. Just watched a video of a show Oliver did in Farmville, VA. He played 8-10 songs. He's gonna be around for a long time.
This man isn't just singing from his heart, he's also singing from the pit of his soul and the bottom of his gut where we've all been hit by the Rich Men North Of Richmond.
Dude!!!!!!! what a powerful voice you feel the PAIN and hear TRUTH.....
"It's not about money it's about power" is spot on right up until the bit that punches down about "fudge rounds".
Your comments were the most insightful and powerful of any other I've heard in relation to reactions on this song! Thanks for the great advice. ❤
Haven't teared up at a song in a long while, This man put his entire being into this song and performance, I have been sharing it to everyone I know and trying to help it reach new ears with my microscopic reach. This mans song is important enough to be heard far and wide.
Thank you for trying to help wake people up. Awake not Woke.

Glorious song. Speaking from the heart and pouring everything out. Brings goosebumps and makes you close your eyes in understanding. There is a reason you don't see this on mainstream channels.
Listen, I've watched this video close to 20 times since someone sent it to me yesterday afternoon and watching it this time still brings a tear to my eye. It hits you right in the heart if you've been paying attention over the past few years.
It’s a heart to heart. He’s reaching out to anyone with ears and kindness.
I am a college grad and it resonates deep in my soul! We have lost our way and this song rings true. Love the breakdown of the cords and lyrics.
