To me the miners/minors and island has a double meaning. VA is the soul of coal mining so it could pertain to coal miners. Then there is the sex trafficking minors. 🤷🏼♀️
There's truth in that. Not long ago he was struggling with alcohol and depression, contemplating suicide. He fell to his knees and prayed to God to take them away and for him to go forward with his music. Maybe it's God's energy in his voice. I think so
Preach. This is the song to wake up the slumbering masses. It's not black vs. white or straight vs. gay, it's the freaking 1% trying to push the rest of us down to 3rd world status. We have to push back on them right now and show them the error of their ways.
What’s up y’all, I can’t thank you guys enough for the overwhelming support of this song and my reaction to it!! Yeah the sub/ view count rising is cool, but I like the fact that we can all enjoy this song together as a whole. Keep going to Oliver’s song and run up the numbers, tell someone new about it man, much love!!
This is that Appalachian music that I heard in Northeast TN/ Southwest Va. growing up.. (The Carters, Earl Scruggs, The Stanley Brothers.) My roots run deep "in these here mountains "
Okay I'm not a major country fan either I like some old country I am a senior living in Canada and I watched upward of 70 reactions in the last two days to this song and the world wants to unite they have had enough and this boy is speaking for all of us❤❤❤❤
Lol I'm 36, and I despise country music.. I don't think this is country music... It's tuned as such, but sounds more like a Rap. (you don't need to be flashy or dirty to be Rap) I like this, but not TOO much, so yes, I'd say it's "some country".
I'd have to say it's closer to Folk music, especially today, and I don't really like Folk music. So I'm calling it, Traditional American music. LoL Which, yes, I know, is just another term for American Folk music.
I'm a 74 year old white male and wondered how the black people of our country would react to this song. I've probably watched 20 rappers and DJ's and even a woman in Nigeria review this song. I am so pleased at their reviews. I saw no prejudice against him, a white man in the hills with a red beard singing his heart out. The lady in Nigeria was in tears. If all of us, old and young, white, black, brown, and yellow can relate to this, we are all brothers and sisters. Let's take this to heart. We are all one. Brandon, you are a handsome man and I enjoyed your review. You don't need a beard. You're fine just the way you are.
yes, reality is reality, some out there want to pervert (change for their purpose) reality, so let us enjoy what we know, no one can tell you what is real. Joe Biden is mentally Ill
I feel this song might wake everyone from their hypnotised state and have us realise the actual cause of many of our problems and that it’s not each other like we’ve been programmed to believe.
It's the most powerful song I've heard in so long i can't remember. It's authentic, raw and heartfelt. I've never seen a song resonate with so many different people at a soul level. It's American folk music, out of the mountains in Appalachia. It proves that we have everything in common that matters. We're not divided like they want us to be Not too long ago he was struggling with alcohol and depression. Contemplating suicide. He fell to his knees and prayed to God to take them away and for him to go forward with his music. God answered his prayers. Maybe it's God's energy in his voice that's got the ability to penetrate the soul of anyone who hears it. A local radio station that scouts talent throughout Appalachia approached him and asked if they could record him at their expense. They posted it just days ago and the rest is history. It's the only song that's been professionally recorded. There's others that are so good too, in the top 10, but they were recorded on his iPhone and are on his personal channel. He has an introductory video that he posted the day before the song was posted. It tells a little of his story. He's so surprised at the reaction and outpouring of love. He played a farmers market Sunday and there was standing room only. 25 acres of parked cars. He said in June he played for 20 people. Lol. Before his performance he didn't plug him, his songs or his social media. He read a verse from psalms about how the wicked will not prevail. Everyone was singing along and knew all the words despite it being released only a few days prior. Its been a week. 16 million views on TH-cam alone. He stayed 4 hours after talking to every person who wanted to talk with him and he listened to their stories. An inspirational young man with an inspirational story and an angelic voice that everybody feels. He quit his job as a factory worker to pursue his music. He bought land and lives on that with his dogs off grid. This song is recorded on his land in Virginia It's so refreshing to see young men connecting with this. Our high suicide of young men in our country is heartbreaking. He was there, contemplating it. He understands the challenges of being young man in today's society. You get it honey. And that makes my heart so happy.
He's actually from the Piedmont area not Appalachian ! The border each other bur lots of great music comes from both areas alot of Blues, storytellers and Country
Thank you for taking the time to share your opinion and for giving this guy airplay. We need more ppl like you and him. God bless my brother. We all might have different mothers but we all have the same FATHER!! So I'm grateful to you him and everyone who comes thru. I love y'all my brothers and sisters. The Bible says if you can't love your brother for which you see then how do you love me for which you can't see. That might not be word for word but close enough. God bless ppl. Y'all stay safe and try to help our brother reacting to this song and our brother singing it. Together we can!!! That's why the rich men north of Richmond want us sperated.
Love thy neighbor as thy self and do no harm. Our military is going to come over the hill in the near future and they are going to take our country back for us, so we can start a new government of people like me and people like you. Living in the new world. Without the rich man running our government and our lives.
@@timwell59 yea and the military the government will have will be woke. They'll be gay trans and dikes with blue hair crying because our words hurt their feelings so during battle they'll start a protest lol. All we had to say before the battle starts is don't try that in a small town 😂 then they'll break out the vaginal wipes and the trans will have to go dilate their fake open wound that stinks if infection and other nasty shit. So that's probably their version of chemical warfare 😂😂😂 and the dikes will be the only men amongst them. 😂😂😂
Beautiful thing about this song is ove been watching everybody react to it white ,black, brown, yellow and every single one has the exact reaction they feel olivers words and angst everybody whoevers worked and paid bills and struggled know exactly what this is , and its the truth.
Truth is, we all have more in common than some of the politicians want us to believe. They push the divide between us for their gain, votes. We, the working people, are black, white, red, yellow, whatever, but we are coming together .
And believe it or don't, The military CiC Donald J Trump and our military are going to take our country back for "we the people". The rich men bankers and the corrupt gov members are going to meet their makers, and we get to form a new government and country with all of their assets they have been stealing from us all of these years. JMHO
NEVER limit yourself musically; music opens the mind; it's akin to learning new languages, and of course, music is the universal language that touches us all.A week ago Oliver Anthony had about 200 subscribers; today he has over 180,000 and 14 MILLION views; he has cut through all the bull in his wonderful song and has United us! So tremendously happy for him.
I’ve been off work for the last 2 days and I have not been able to watch this video enough!! I know I’ve watched it or people reacting to it for hours and hours!! It breaks a man’s heart to see what has become of our country. I’m 55 years old and I feel like I’ve let my ancestors down, knowing that my generation has allowed these corrupt politicians ruin the fabric of this once great nation. We all should be ashamed 😢
The only people who should be ashamed are not capable of feeling shame . I do understand your point of view, but please do not take this upon yourself. The rich men of richmond bear the brunt of this and change is a coming. The press will vilify this guy bc that’s all they know and they are rapidly becoming extinct. With that they will become even more desperate and delusional. Better times are coming. z
I understand why you feel shame it is our duty to rid our country of corrupt governments. We the people have allowed this to go on way too long we should've stood up long ago. Unfortunately the people on Jan. 6th let people planted ( F.B.I) there convince them to go play around in the capital instead of doing it the correct way. People today aren't prepared to do what it takes to make this bullshit stop and that is why it will continue they will blatantly break our laws in front of us without being held accountable. Seriously how much evidence is needed to see Biden is a traitor to the United States and be impeached? It's a shitshow for sure.
Im 55 as well. Gen X was small. We had our own shit to deal with. I have 5 kids. 9 grandkids. I cannot be black pilled. We didn’t do this, but we can handle our sphere of influence. All my kids work hard and keep their heads above water. We all have a job. Mine was to teach them. And we aren’t out of the game yet! Learn grandparents Depression skillz. You won’t regret it. Only hope will help us heal.
The fact that you replayed the entire song, while very smart, makes me love you even more. I just watched 20 reaction videos and your the only one. Thank you
I am reaching out to shows like yours. regarding the song, "Rich Men North Of Richmond", by Oliver Anthony. My thought is we play this song at noon EST on Labor Day (Sept. 4th). Hopefully we can make this a worldwide event because it is applicable to all nations. This is a uniting song which we badly need as a nation and world today.
Thank you Brandon for having an open mind to give it a listen. I know you had doubts at the beginning, but when we open our mind we discover that all is not as it seems and we have more in common than we don't. It's an anthem for us all. Bless you.
I think everyone feels this song most of us just want to wake up from this God forsaken nightmare before the plandemic. You have quickly moved up to my favorite reactor. I love the love you have for Falling In Reverse but more than that your open mind willing to try new music. You seem like such a kind man. Look forward to more videos ❤ 🇺🇲
As an old white man, I am honored to call you brother. Your reaction to Oliver has touched me, as mush as his song has touched you. I am at the end of my life and have been watching a few day's worth of reactions from every color of God's rainbow and I've lived to see a turning in mankind's soul and know son, you were a part of it. Stay Safe and Blessed
All of his songs are short and to the point. He sings what he knows. Struggled with mental health, thoughts of suicide, drug and alcohol addiction. Fell to his knees and begged the Lord for help. This is the result. God is using him to touch the world.
I never comment on anything... But man, this is the best reaction I've seen to this song. And I've watched quite a few. Just sitting there listening to it for a 2nd time... enough said. Best wishes From Iceland, and I subscribed, of course 👏
It is so rare to be witness to something that brings people together as opposed to driving them apart. Every so often we are blessed with the opportunity to hear something that is a first once in a lifetime experience. A movie, a story, a poem, a speech, or a song. This song resonates with so many because so many of us can relate to the emotion he expresses in this song.
I love seeing the younger generation opening their minds to new music and catching the message in this song. i love seeing all of the eyes opening up and really seeing the issues. i love the line living in a new world with an old soul! keep doing what you are doing young man....
Appreciated your honesty on this - you know there is a lot of "bad" music out there but you took a chance and maybe listened to something you normally wouldn't have given a chance - good for you! Peace!
Love you bruh. Such a well written song, delivered with great passion. Your reaction was spot on! Thanks for the replay at the end, too. This song and Oliver, might just help make a positive difference in bringing us all together and clean house north of Richmond. 🤟🇱🇷🤟
This song brought more people together in 10 days than the current "puppets in charge" have done in 3 yrs. POWERFUL!! If this doesnt touch your soul, you might be a rich man north of Richmond... This is not a country song, its a song FOR OUR COUNTRY!! 💥💥💥 Its a song for EVERY working family being screwed by our govt
We all feel this deep if you don’t your part of the problem just goes to show we’re all tired out here we all feel the same way from all walks they’re trying to divide us this song just brought us together
There are so many styles of music And Every style has a least 1 song you will Love ❤️ Washington DC is North of Richmond Va. And Richmond is full of Coal Miners... Miners in the USA instead of Minors on an island... Epstein Island😢
No coal miners in Richmond. The miners are in the mountains of southwestern Virginia & West Virginia. And also Kentucky & Pennsylvania. But, yes, you got the point of the miners versus minors.
There are no mines in Richmond but there are miners... I live 55miles from the Dunlap coal mines and plenty of people around here commute to Dunlap Unfortunately it's better pay than gas station clerk or fast food worker Which is about all there is around here for work
@@SorryNotSorry1776 I apologize I didn't clarify 😁 I live in rural Tennessee valley. Our mines are in the mountains We have coal mines Copper mines etc... I've been thru Virginia and West Virginia have ppl from there. I was just saying that Miners are everywhere They travel sometimes an hr or more to work because of the lack of work around the rural communities.
Oliver is America's newest found treasure. And please, don't ever limit yourself to the music you can discover. Always make sure to react to official videos because they are made to not only provide your ear with a great sound but also a story to go with it that can also give the song a little more meaning. I will be binge watching your channel till I get caught up. You might just get a new subscriber!
Hey Brandon. Thank you for this Channel . I like your reactions . This song has 14 million views in 7 days in America alone ! It has become a Musical Movement touched by God to unite. I have been messaged and I am messaging people in Australia. Canada. England. New Zealand ! Etc etc. Everywhere People are awakeni g !
The authenticity the music industry hasn't had for 25+ yrs.. THIS Man HAS it in spades!! He oozes character and a genuine Everyday man quality that at literally NO ONE in hollyweird, Memphis, Seattle or ANY media person can't attempt to exhibit. You can't fake REAL!
As a music fan I would never compare this song to country, this is straight from this man's heart. This is poetry at its highest level. I love the rasp in his voice and that your heart hurts listening to this masterpiece. Your reaction is golden. You said 1 word and it is the total reaction "Passion". Be blessed.. Definitely got a subscription out of me and a solid like. Everyone subscribe and like this young man
As much as I love this song, I love the fact that it's bringing the country together in this moment right now even more. That is POWERFUL! So much is mean to divide us these days.
The Holy spirit is on the move with this song Look up his channel and story and you will see for yourself, Oliver Anthony Music is his channel and he has videos on it
My Fellow Americans, Black, white, brown whatever doesn't matter we have to take our country back. The rich men want us hating each other but fu@k that . WE come together and they get scared.
This song has given everyday people a voice, and for internet reactors, a chance to vent and tell their own stories. It's heartbreaking and people so young shouldn't have all this weight on their shoulders.
I love that your choosing to spread your mindset to not hate all of one type of music based on one artist... now that you're in my country bag, check out Jaron and the long road home song "I'll pray for you"
New subscriber. Love your attitude and reaction. I've got some friends who are dissing this song bigtime, calling it right wing astroturfing. I'm disappointed and a little shocked. It felt to me this would bring people together. Maybe it's true (what some are saying), that progressives (or whatever the right category is) hate the working class. Gotta see where this goes, who embraces it, who tries to cancel it.
dont worry sir.... MANY an eye has watered up the first time listening to this song ❤ mine do almost EVERY time! and i love that you've broken through the stereo types and just learned to embrace music! MUSIC IS WHAT FEELINGS SOUND LIKE
Enjoyed your reaction to this great song, Oliver North’s words speak for all the people, brown,black, and white people stand behind this message, and stand all together, as one, against all this crap they are throwing at us. “This is our Anthem for all the people.” Stand Up.
Thank you for your reaction; I love your open-mindedness, passion, and enthusiasm. The fact that this song got over 16M views since its debut a week ago tells you that the message transcends age, color/race/ethnicity, religion, nationality, etc., and resonates with ordinary folk the world over. This should be mandatory listening for everyone in government, whether elected, appointed, or just employed. "The rich men north of Richmond" is a reference to politicians and “power players” in Washington DC.; Washington, DC is north of Richmond, Virginia, and probably to the financiers on Wall Street. However, politicians and the “elites” seem to be the same anywhere."I wish politicians would look out for miners and not just minors on an island (Eppstein Island) somewhere" is certainly an indictment of the elites who seem to get away with their crimes too often. I hope this anthem will wake up more people and get us ordinary folks to unite and take a stand before it's too late. God bless you.
It's not country it's Appalachian folk music. The guitar is called a resonator & is used by a lot of bluegrass & folk people bc it sounds like a banjo. Richmond Va is where he's talking n north of Richmond is Washington DC.
Lol dude I cracked up when you didn't say a word and just sat back to listen to it again. That's exactly what I did and a few days later Oliver still has me hooked...
Brandon, if you think about it every new artist has SOUL in their first few songs. This is what tugs on your heart strings. After that they have money and they lose it. Chris (Oliver) Anthony turned down an 8 million offer to stay independent and put out his own music. I love your openness to new things (music) I am not like that, however, this is the first country song I bought on iTunes. This man sings not only THE TRUTH, but HIS TRUTH! and that's what we hear in his music.
Oliver********thanks so much for having the courage to tell the truth about the world and society today in your wonderful song! Roll on, Oliver!*******************************************Singer/Songwriter/Walker Ikard/TH-cam
Working person’s anthem…the island line is hard truth… when you know you know.
Epstein didn't delete himself 😅
💯
We here 🇺🇸
Release the flight manifests now
To me the miners/minors and island has a double meaning.
VA is the soul of coal mining so it could pertain to coal miners.
Then there is the sex trafficking minors.
🤷🏼♀️
This song is a call to action. If you close your eyes and listen, you can hear Gods love for us flowing through him.
There's truth in that. Not long ago he was struggling with alcohol and depression, contemplating suicide. He fell to his knees and prayed to God to take them away and for him to go forward with his music. Maybe it's God's energy in his voice. I think so
Amen 🙏
Hell yeah it is. but it is also just raw emotion, something that most music now a days doesn't have. Love you all
Preach. This is the song to wake up the slumbering masses. It's not black vs. white or straight vs. gay, it's the freaking 1% trying to push the rest of us down to 3rd world status. We have to push back on them right now and show them the error of their ways.

Thank you Brandon for having an open mind to give it a listen. I know you had doubts at the beginning, but when we open our mind we discover that all is not as it seems and we have more in common than we don't. It's an anthem for us all. Bless you.
I think everyone feels this song most of us just want to wake up from this God forsaken nightmare before the plandemic. You have quickly moved up to my favorite reactor. I love the love you have for Falling In Reverse but more than that your open mind willing to try new music. You seem like such a kind man. Look forward to more videos ❤ 🇺🇲
Literally agreeing with every word you said! Even your comment about Falling In Reverse 😊
You know it something special when you put it on repeat ...love
As an old white man, I am honored to call you brother. Your reaction to Oliver has touched me, as mush as his song has touched you. I am at the end of my life and have been watching a few day's worth of reactions from every color of God's rainbow and I've lived to see a turning in mankind's soul and know son, you were a part of it.
Stay Safe and Blessed
Same Here Bubba I feel exactly the Same way
I am a metal head and this song is on my playlist
Me too!
To face the resistance of being offended, stating the truth is a duty🇨🇵 Oliver is hero.
All of his songs are short and to the point. He sings what he knows. Struggled with mental health, thoughts of suicide, drug and alcohol addiction. Fell to his knees and begged the Lord for help. This is the result. God is using him to touch the world.
I never comment on anything... But man, this is the best reaction I've seen to this song. And I've watched quite a few.
Just sitting there listening to it for a 2nd time... enough said.
Best wishes From Iceland, and I subscribed, of course 👏
Sing it, man!
We're all old souls, and this may be a new world, but the struggle we're in goes back to the beginning.
Your face says it all. This song is unifying and amazing. We are all in the same boat. Love it!
It is so rare to be witness to something that brings people together as opposed to driving them apart. Every so often we are blessed with the opportunity to hear something that is a first once in a lifetime experience. A movie, a story, a poem, a speech, or a song. This song resonates with so many because so many of us can relate to the emotion he expresses in this song.
I've watched lots of reactions to this song. Yours is my favorite. I think I could see it wake something in you. Fantastic
This is the song of a generation right here.
This man’s lyrics and his voice speak to all of our frustrations and hits right in the soul!
So much soul in this song!
Old white guy feeling love for all people through this song! Dig your show,young brother!
I love seeing the younger generation opening their minds to new music and catching the message in this song. i love seeing all of the eyes opening up and really seeing the issues. i love the line living in a new world with an old soul! keep doing what you are doing young man....
Great reaction to a truly generational song! Love from England 🏴 ❤
I feel this deep in my soul. His songs are so real it's heartbreaking.
I’ve been binge watching reaction videos to this song all day and yours is by far the best. ❤️
His dogs amazed me the most.
Appreciated your honesty on this - you know there is a lot of "bad" music out there but you took a chance and maybe listened to something you normally wouldn't have given a chance - good for you! Peace!
I was about 30 before I really opened up my musical tastes. 19 years later I can say it was one of the best moves I ever made. Enjoy the journey man.
This is why I subscribed to you because you’re not afraid of going outside the box! Well done!
Love you bruh. Such a well written song, delivered with great passion. Your reaction was spot on! Thanks for the replay at the end, too. This song and Oliver, might just help make a positive difference in bringing us all together and clean house north of Richmond. 🤟🇱🇷🤟
This song brought more people together in 10 days than the current "puppets in charge" have done in 3 yrs. POWERFUL!! If this doesnt touch your soul, you might be a rich man north of Richmond...
This is not a country song, its a song FOR OUR COUNTRY!! 💥💥💥
Its a song for EVERY working family being screwed by our govt
We all feel this deep if you don’t your part of the problem just goes to show we’re all tired out here we all feel the same way from all walks they’re trying to divide us this song just brought us together
There are so many styles of music And Every style has a least 1 song you will Love ❤️
Washington DC is North of Richmond Va. And Richmond is full of Coal Miners... Miners in the USA instead of Minors on an island... Epstein Island😢
No coal miners in Richmond. The miners are in the mountains of southwestern Virginia & West Virginia. And also Kentucky & Pennsylvania. But, yes, you got the point of the miners versus minors.
Miners in Appalachia
There are no mines in Richmond but there are miners... I live 55miles from the Dunlap coal mines and plenty of people around here commute to Dunlap Unfortunately it's better pay than gas station clerk or fast food worker Which is about all there is around here for work
@@debbyshannon7242 - is the Dunlap mine south of Covington?
@@SorryNotSorry1776 I apologize I didn't clarify 😁 I live in rural Tennessee valley. Our mines are in the mountains We have coal mines Copper mines etc... I've been thru Virginia and West Virginia have ppl from there. I was just saying that Miners are everywhere They travel sometimes an hr or more to work because of the lack of work around the rural communities.
Oliver is America's newest found treasure. And please, don't ever limit yourself to the music you can discover. Always make sure to react to official videos because they are made to not only provide your ear with a great sound but also a story to go with it that can also give the song a little more meaning. I will be binge watching your channel till I get caught up. You might just get a new subscriber!
love that you replayed it and just sat there and listened. could see in your eyes that you felt that message deep. we need more like you brother
Powerful song ♥️
As a hard working Mexican-American woman……I can relate to this song!
Nice to see a young smart thoughtful man who opens his mind to other opinions and music. Keep it up
Hey Brandon. Thank you for this Channel . I like your reactions . This song has 14 million views in 7 days in America alone ! It has become a Musical Movement touched by God to unite. I have been messaged and I am messaging people in Australia. Canada. England. New Zealand ! Etc etc. Everywhere People are awakeni g !
United!.....we are Strong!...
The authenticity the music industry hasn't had for 25+ yrs..
THIS Man HAS it in spades!! He oozes character and a genuine Everyday man quality that at literally NO ONE in hollyweird, Memphis, Seattle or ANY media person can't attempt to exhibit.
You can't fake REAL!
It's more than a working man's anthem..they do it to us all...they want us all divided. This is something we all feel..truth
...just a dude, with his dogs, deer stand, a guitar and a soul. We all feel it. Great reaction.
As a music fan I would never compare this song to country, this is straight from this man's heart. This is poetry at its highest level. I love the rasp in his voice and that your heart hurts listening to this masterpiece. Your reaction is golden. You said 1 word and it is the total reaction "Passion". Be blessed.. Definitely got a subscription out of me and a solid like. Everyone subscribe and like this young man
You made me cry twice. God bless this man.
First reactor I've seen play the song back to back because it's necessary. Appreciate that.
As much as I love this song, I love the fact that it's bringing the country together in this moment right now even more. That is POWERFUL! So much is mean to divide us these days.
My man is in the woods singing with just a cameraman. Full of anguish, self soothing getting it out with a guitar
I'm glad you no longer limit your ears and your musical taste. Hugs to all my brethren. This one hit us all 🇺🇸
MUSIC IS NEVER A RACE, IT'S AN EMOTION. GOD BLESS HIS EMOTION, WORDS AND TRUTH.
The Holy spirit is on the move with this song
Look up his channel and story and you will see for yourself,
Oliver Anthony Music is his channel and he has videos on it
My Fellow Americans, Black, white, brown whatever doesn't matter we have to take our country back. The rich men want us hating each other but fu@k that . WE come together and they get scared.
You sir, have an old soul as well in a young man's body.
AND you know its not just MERICA, WE fill it all over the world
I’m also glad I’ve listened to the song. Great reaction by the way! ❣️🇺🇸
I loved you're reaction! You felt this. You totally get it! It's so nice to see people from all walks of life unite thanks to this song. 🎉
This song has given everyday people a voice, and for internet reactors, a chance to vent and tell their own stories. It's heartbreaking and people so young shouldn't have all this weight on their shoulders.
I love that your choosing to spread your mindset to not hate all of one type of music based on one artist... now that you're in my country bag, check out Jaron and the long road home song "I'll pray for you"
I saw the light come on in your eyes. This is an anthem for the working class.
This is the voice of the silent majority. Much love bro
New subscriber. Love your attitude and reaction. I've got some friends who are dissing this song bigtime, calling it right wing astroturfing. I'm disappointed and a little shocked. It felt to me this would bring people together. Maybe it's true (what some are saying), that progressives (or whatever the right category is) hate the working class. Gotta see where this goes, who embraces it, who tries to cancel it.
dont worry sir.... MANY an eye has watered up the first time listening to this song ❤ mine do almost EVERY time! and i love that you've broken through the stereo types and just learned to embrace music! MUSIC IS WHAT FEELINGS SOUND LIKE
Just don't expect most country to be this good.
Enjoyed your reaction to this great song, Oliver North’s words speak for all the people, brown,black, and white people stand behind this message, and stand all together, as one, against all this crap they are throwing at us. “This is our Anthem for all the people.” Stand Up.
TRUTH SHINES a LIGHT in THE DARKNESS...
Olivers beard is majestic lol
Thank you for your reaction; I love your open-mindedness, passion, and enthusiasm. The fact that this song got over 16M views since its debut a week ago tells you that the message transcends age, color/race/ethnicity, religion, nationality, etc., and resonates with ordinary folk the world over. This should be mandatory listening for everyone in government, whether elected, appointed, or just employed. "The rich men north of Richmond" is a reference to politicians and “power players” in Washington DC.; Washington, DC is north of Richmond, Virginia, and probably to the financiers on Wall Street. However, politicians and the “elites” seem to be the same anywhere."I wish politicians would look out for miners and not just minors on an island (Eppstein Island) somewhere" is certainly an indictment of the elites who seem to get away with their crimes too often. I hope this anthem will wake up more people and get us ordinary folks to unite and take a stand before it's too late. God bless you.
Great Voice!! Great Artist! Great Track! Great Reaction!!!! Thank You so Much ✌✌✌ 🇦🇺
It's not country it's Appalachian folk music. The guitar is called a resonator & is used by a lot of bluegrass & folk people bc it sounds like a banjo. Richmond Va is where he's talking n north of Richmond is Washington DC.
I like the open mind my guy. This one hit all of us...
BTW I'm 46 on Friday, East TN guy, and fukn HATE most country. This one fukn hit HARD
Damn bro. Your reaction got me ready to shed a tear. Thanks for really LISTENING🎧. We all need to wake up. It might be too late.
How true is that. Facts.
Check out his video before he recorded this song and he explains why he wrote it. To give hope to those who work hard and you're not alone 😊
Lol dude I cracked up when you didn't say a word and just sat back to listen to it again. That's exactly what I did and a few days later Oliver still has me hooked...
Brandon, if you think about it every new artist has SOUL in their first few songs. This is what tugs on your heart strings. After that they have money and they lose it. Chris (Oliver) Anthony turned down an 8 million offer to stay independent and put out his own music.
I love your openness to new things (music) I am not like that, however, this is the first country song I bought on iTunes. This man sings not only THE TRUTH, but HIS TRUTH! and that's what we hear in his music.
Well said, my dude. Great way to open up and gain some culture and not close yourself off.
This is Godly sent to unite us as Americans, for Americans🇺🇸🙏🏻🇺🇸❤️🤍💙 United we can get our country back❤
Oliver********thanks so much for having the courage to tell the truth about the world and society today in your wonderful song! Roll on, Oliver!*******************************************Singer/Songwriter/Walker Ikard/TH-cam
I absolutely love your reaction
Here via Oliver 😊
I so happy he is waking people up! Praise the Lord ❤
Your reaction says it all
What a smart young man!! keep exploring the world man! Have a open mind about food cultures and travel as much as you can see the world!
Great review. I really enjoyed your reaction both times you played the song.
