HERE IT IS, My remix: th-cam.com/video/z3TRoU3Pgg4/w-d-xo.html This song has inspired me to write some lyrics about this subject matter. So I had to put this together. Click the link and let me know your thoughts ☝🏽
Just the past few years?????? hahahahhahhahha he has a song putting down republicans and democrates yuou need to wake up yourtself. Open your eyes. Hey Ren thinks the same. !!!!
The only thing you know about is 2020/ omg you have to look at history and who did what and why when and how and the slow downfall since 1992 and 2001 and 2008 and 2012 2017 2020 and times befor and in between . this started a long time ago. !!
Fellow Americans, Black, white, brown whatever doesnt matter we have to take our country back. The rich men want us hating each other but fuck that . WE come together and they get scared.
The day is coming when the ants will realize we outnumber the grasshoppers(yes,that was A Bugs Life analogy lol !!).......it's time for us to unite as ONE
You have nailed it! I have watched this at least 20 times, and have described it 20 different ways. But you simply have described it perfectly. God's blessings upon you and yours sister. And thank you.💯🌞🙏💛☯️🌞👍
I am a 20 veteran of law enforcement, and I'm not ashamed to admit a tear came to my eye the first time I heard this song. Younger people do not know how much we have lost over the last 20 years.
Sir, I am a woman purposely watching only men reactions to this song. I am grateful that this man has given all of you a voice! Men are under attack. FACT! The reaction videos have made me cry in relief. One can be made to believe that men don’t give a flying rat, but we know the truth. This man has provided a Holy Spirited song to remind us, God has us and hears us. God speed.
I'm in my mid/late twenties man. I remember a few years before 2001. I think things changed after 9/11. The world was so different before then. I remember something as simple as being able to walk up to the gate to meet my grandparents that flew into the airport. That tiny example, but things changed so much from when I was a kid in the 90s.
Black Pegasus. I love that name. I'm a 64 yr old white man...about to start Medicare. Never thought I would ever go on Medicare. Had no idea that you HAVE to go on Medicare. You get penalized by the IRS [the rich men north of richmond] if you fail to sign up. I have sat watching reaction vids like this by black rappers and music guys like Black Pegasus for the last hour...weeping. Why? Because I am hearing people who think I am fully different from them, and I think they are different from me. And it's the rich men north of richmond pushing ALL of us to think nobody agrees with us...when we all feel the same way. Black Pegasus is the one I wanted to leave a comment on because he speaks my mind more fluently than the others...but they were saying it too. We are ALL saying the same things. We have to stop allowing the rich men in DC and the stupid social media moguls and the enemies of our freedom to tell us what to think. EVERY...SINGLE...rap artist I have listened to says what is in MY heart. We are Americans. If we do not stand together we will all go down the toilet together. I salute you Black Pegasus, just as I did Oliver Anthony. I do not listen to country music, nor mountain music like this, nor rap or hip hop. But this message IS calling us to stand together. We must stop listening to these RMNOR (rich men...you get it...) and stop believing the hate. Content of character, not color, not creed and not whatever the proper pronoun might be. I am going to post an article on my patheos blog about this.
Oliver Anthony speaks to the average everyday American whose voice has been drowned out by people screaming from both sides of the aisle. His music is bringing people together who the powers that be want to divide.
So Oliver was interviewed recently and told a story. He said up until literally one month before recording this song he was dealing with being alcoholic. One night he broke down and had a come to god moment and promised if he could do something with his music he’d never drink again. And stopped drinking. One month later a local radio station contacted him and asked him to perform this song. And here we are today!!! I’m not even religious and this gives me chills
Pastor -"God is good...." Church- "All the time!!!!" Im not sure why they have a line thru this statement that is said in thousands of churches across the country. This is His country not theirs.
I'm not even American and I feel it! Haha We have the same rich politicians and scandals. Currently our prime minister is worth £750 million and he can't even work out how to pay for petrol at the garage... he has no idea what the cost of living crisis really is. Rich men north of Brixton here lol
I'm Korean and this still resonates heavily with me. I think anyone whose been in the working class understands the struggles this man is singing about.
He stepped up to the mic, laid himself bare and opened a vein. We’re all here laid bare and bleeding too. He’s not singing to us, he’s singing for us and we’re singing with him.
I’m from U.K. and it had me tearing up. The awake world will unite through this song. We have to get this thing done. The fact it has gone viral means we all get it. Let’s ride this wave all the way to the end. The light is ascending finally. ❤️❤️❤️
Hey! I saw US exports of beer to the UK surpasse imports from the UK, so I wanted to warn you - there are some intriguing US porters, stouts, and ales, but most US brewers don't understand light beer, and All of the mass-produced US stuff is garbage. That being said - pay and costs in the US have gotten to the point where the majority of people cannot hope to ever have kids. The situation in western Europe is similar. Also, there's a LOT of media lying or not covering stuff. Like in Australia there were massive anti-lockdown protests. We hardly heard anything about it in the US. There have been a bunch of massively popular maga (make america great again) marches, and the media pretends they never happened. It's only sometimes, like with the collapse of Bud lite and disney, that it becomes hard for the media to hide what's happening. The US also has the problem that it's balkanizing. New York state and Texas state (to name some big ones) are perhaps more different from each other than England and Scotland are. It would depend how you measured (clothing and food, dialect, lifestyle, religion and politics). But the main point is, they are getting more different every decade. And the same thing is going on with smaller states. I live in Missouri now, and there's a similar divide growing between Missouri and Illinois, though they are next to each other. The same divide is growing in Canada between Quebec and British Columbia versus the central provinces. And I expect the divide is everywhere now: It is the places set up like cities persecuting the places set up like towns and pastures, the wealthy and the irresponsible against the hard-working responsible.
Also, I've seen some people from Europe talking about the US taxes being low, at around 25%. This is true. But what crushes a lot of US people is medical bills. The medical system in the US pays a lot more for itself than the European one, that is a lot more of medical payments are coming from individual's pockets as opposed to being subsidized by taxes. And the US medical system is one of the most top heavy, and least practical ones in the world. For a full time job the employer is going to try to pay you close to minimum wages so they can pay for your medical plan, or you will have to pay a high percentage of your monthly salary for a medical plan. I pay something around $500 a month for a medical plan, and that's the most basic level, and it's not all tax deductible. So I spend a little more than a week out of every month paying for my medical plan, a little more than a week out of every month paying for my rent and utilities, and little more than a week out of every month paying for food. And this is why I don't have kids. But this isn't the story of the US. This is the story of the entire developed world.
This song is literally speaking to EVERYONE! Who knew a folk country song from a bearded guy standing in the middle of the woods in front of a deer stand with his dogs laying by his side would have such a profound effect on us all! 💯🙌
I think it has a profound effect on us all because it’s real. We are living it. We will not survive as a country unless all of us, black, white, Asian, Hispanic, decide we have more in common than the evil people North of Richmond want us to realize.
This is what real soul music IS. The song is nothing less than the primal scream of MILLIONS set to music. If you don't get some sort of visceral or emotional reaction upon listening, then I question your humanity.
This is what American Country/Folk music is supposed to be. It's what Punk rock attempts to be but falls short. Now they Rage on behalf of the Machine.
@@JW-qf2fx he attacks people leeching? like multi millionare conglomorate companies and businessmen who avoid tax and pay their employees crap wages? no, he attacks poor people who claim wellfare and are overweight. as if hes some skinny looker. the song is a joke.
@@NeilLewis77you’re the joke and if you don’t understand the meaning of EVERY word in this song, you’re part of the problem and likely using social programs to cheat the system, instead of what they were intended for, Moe Ron.
@@NeilLewis77you apparently want listening and heard what you want. He attacks all the rich. He attacks the government for helping people who don't really need it while letting those who do starve. Just because he says the word welfare does not mean he's attacking them and if you feel attacked maybe you should lay off the fudge rounds.
I'm a 65 year old white guy and my heart is breaking for this country but I am glad that we all are connecting to this in a real way it's a blessing from God
Amen. Oliver Anthony put into words what we 65 yr old know we are losing. This is not our America. Biden and the RICH MEN north of Richmond are killing us. Stand United patriots. We all have been used and lied to. Cost of everything is up to fund Ukraine. Please vote for TRUMP. I truly believe he is the only one that can turn this around. They wouldn't allow him to do his job as #45. He already knows what needs to happen. Don't put anyone in and make sure to watch your 6. Too much evil and it's time we take our country back. Please vote
I'm 64 and right there with you. I can't believe the US Army is paying for soldiers to grow breasts, Target is selling toddler clothes that celebrate perversion, a President is so clearly on the take, able bodied people won't work, colleges teach trash, and mop top idiot stands at the White House press podium and tells us everything is awesome. I'm glad I don't have kids-we are leaving the next generation a crap sandwich.
I’m a 24 yo Afghanistan vet and I work myself to the bone doing 3rd shift 12s to care for my wife and mother. I’d lost hope in our nation before I heard this song. Because of this man, there’s a chance enough of us will finally wake up to stand for what’s right. This is the spark, let the fire of hope rage.
"Young men putting themselves 6' in the ground"... I love every man in my life. I want them to know they have helped me find my way. I am sure your mother and wife feel the same about you. Please take time to receive their love.
Amen to that brother❤ thank you for your service n so glad you came home! We all got to unite even more and get the thugs voted out recalled impeached or arrested and hopefully get a real President Trump that will fight for the USA peoples ❤ everyone of us😢
As an Army brat and Army wife who's husband did 2 tours himself I would like to say thank you. From the bottom of my heart, my children and grandchildren as well, thank you for serving.
When the American Revolution happened it was Thomas Paines Common Sense pamplet that woke up the people. This song has the power to do the same and I hope we take this moment to come together against this global evil. God Bless my fellow man. 🇺🇸
This man a month ago was battling alcoholism..he dropped to his knees, prayed to God that if he gave up drinking, he just wanted guidance to help his fellow man with his music. That was a month ago… the power of God is amazing and so is Oliver Anthony. And we are so very proud of our fellow Virginian❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️
I literally cried. Watching reaction video after reaction video of this song and he's reaching EVERYONE. Belt it out to God and everyone my Appalachian brother.
I feel you, I have watched like 50 reaction videos and the actual song twice as much and every single time I get goosebumps. Haven't not had goosebumps once.
How this man is putting words in a song that describes the burden that is on all of our shoulders is just chilling. And this is not just applicable for Americans, this is a global thing. I am from Europe and this man is singing what we are experiencing also. We are all humans dealing with the burden the globalist elites are putting on the entire world.
I bawled like a baby the 1st time I heard it. I still choke up and I've basically listened to it on repeat the last 3 days. John Rich has reached out to him, and he deserves the good things coming to him. This is the PEOPLE'S SONG.
I literally can't stop watching it. I've never done this before. It's the people's song across the world not just in the USA. Greetings from England. 🏴
I have cried all day listening to this on loop. What he has done is he captured our collective sorrow, rage, and everything in between regarding what the corrupt government has done to all of us and our Constitutional Republic. He did it so perfectly inclusive of all of us who ARE in the crosshairs of the gov't. He hit the target on the real problem: gov't against the people and not gender, race, schoolboards or ufos . . .
Well said Kristina. This one man may have just helped turn this country around. Now, it depends on "people like me, and people like you" to start the change back to the real normal. May God bless you young lady.
I’m a blue collar guy and a firefighter. All I do is work, see my kids a little bit and work to just to keep us afloat. This song makes me tear up every time. The thing is this isn’t a feel good but it is SO INCREDIBLE because we all struggle with these things!
My man is a firefighter too and works overtime so that I’m lucky enough to stay at home with my little boy. I know how blessed I am to have such a good man and so I don’t take it for granted. I have so much respect for hard working men like you. You guys don’t get enough respect. Just know you are appreciated
I’m a 56 year old white british woman ( now living in the states) and I only watched your channel because I saw you were doing a reaction video of this song! Wow! I’m so impressed that you are so honest and being true to what you feel! Big respect!!
YES!! We or rather the Rich men North of Richmond and those with initials like c, i and a; f, e and d; i, r and s; AND m, i, and c and everything that implies, have started and fought wars using our tax dollars to fund both sides for a very long time. The embarrassing part of it is that people in other parts of the world knew it before we the u.s. people did. My once proud American patriotism is now laying at my feet in a decimated heap about 1 breath away from dead. It's been so painful experiencing it. Now that so many of us, here and all over the world, have a clarified grip on reality, we need to resist EN MASS at the very next thing thrown at us. The Overtone Window is the only thing the Rich men North of Richmond and the many, many other criminal organizations known best by their initials truly fear; that is, the rising of the masses. Just be clear that WE are NOT each other's enemy. THEY are the guilty ones.
This resonates in me here in the U.K. Globally we must all NEVER allow the powers that be have so much power over our lives ever again! Another great reaction.
the entire world is feeling what you feel right now my friend, one man , 2 dogs, one microphone, zero budget, no label, one man breaks down walls that took the elite hundreds of years to build...the entire world is feeling this devine spark in unison....Its beautiful.......this dude hit his knees 30 days ago, and this came out of him.....like 12 days ago bro
This is actually raging against the machine… in a beautiful, poetic, masterfully delivered song. He is so humble and I applaud that he put himself out there in such a vulnerable position and people are resonating with him because he is the brave man that we all wish we could be. He spares not a single word with fluff or padding. Every single word in this masterpiece is intentional and important. I have seen so many people have their eyes opened by this single man’s passionate lament. It’s encouraging and moving.
I love Rage and I get the same overwhelming fight to do something but in a totally different vibe. Like this makes me wanna cry and Rage make me want to punch a wall. Lol
This hit me hard as a veteran and a patriot. His song touches on everything that will get people cancled, and I love it. You feel this raw, unadulterated emotion of the pain, disgust, and betrayal. This song has reignited that tiny little ember that was nearly snuffed out by the rich men north of Richmond, and I pray that tiny ember turns into an inferno🙌🇺🇲
Yes Sir, Thank You. I too have the tiniest sliver of hope and I know plenty of other decent Americans who feel the same. Something absolutely must and will change.
On his channel, Oliver Anthony said that this is the first song he's recorded that wasn't just done on his cell phone. He's literally just starting out and has hit a nerve across the globe with this one.
💯🙏💞 🇺🇸 This is now worldwide brother. This sense of unity and message provided in the treasure of a song should not go to waste! Courage, strength and hope that 'We The People' everywhere need to do what's necessary to clean house ⌛ Political corruption is rampant 🙏 ♥
According to him, he suffered from alcoholism, drug abuse and mental health for a while. He wrote this song and once it started going viral he realized he found his purpose. This song will be a generational anthem. It’s a modern day outlaw/folk anthem. The truth is a powerful thing
What a voice. This song is saying what all of us Americans have been feeling. While those rich men North of Richmond keep fighting over foreign wars, illegal immigration, pronouns, DEI, and other BULLSHIT, we are carrying the weight of the responsibility. That is OUR hard-earned money going to fund Rich Men north of Richmond pockets. Revolution is needed and coming to save this once great nation. We the People are crying out ...but the tears will soon stop. This song reflects the SOUL of our nation, and those men North of Richmond don't relate because their souls are already gone.
@AuthorTLGray YES!! We or rather the Rich men North of Richmond and those with initials like c, i and a; f, e and d; i, r and s; AND m, i, and c and everything that implies, have started and fought wars using our tax dollars to fund both sides for a very long time.

We just need be clear in our heads that WE are NOT each other's enemy. THEY are the guilty ones.
I love that it speaks to ALL of us across all walks of life. No matter your class, your party affiliation, beliefs.... this hits right to the core of what we want in America. We just want to be left alone and be able to support ourselves, our families without being taxed and regulated into oblivion.
The reason you get so emotional is because he tells us our politicians are not only Fing us they are Fing kids. The reason this song resonates is because we all know what needs to be done.
Son I am a 60 year old white man, your a highly intelligent young man.and seeing young people like yourself stick up for this country makes me feel so proud.I Could see you were getting emotional and I did too.Kid you have a great heart GOD bless you and your family.Keep up the good work.👍❤️
Insane talent, Richmond is capital of Virginia and is talking about the politicians in DC which is 2 hours north of Richmond. Powerful song hope this dude blows up!
This man is speaking directly to / for all Americans. Within 24 hours the song has crossed over into all genres. Truly inspired and heartfelt message. Maybe it's time we all take up this man's torch and run with it!
This song will change the world. He's empowered so many people and made us realise our worth. No matter what side your on he's right with every word. We are going through the same struggles in England stay safe and look after this angel you have produced America.
For the past couple of days, I've been captivated by these reaction videos. It's profoundly moving to observe the moment of realization on people's faces, when what they've always known deep within them rises to the surface. The voice of the silent majority, echoing from the heart of the Appalachian mountains, has a resonance that's incredibly touching people all over the world. ❤
@@mztdawn yes!! I had to check YOU comment, LOL. I had no idea there were so many reaction channels out there! Never even listened to any until this! I am loving seeing all the different types of people realizing we all feel the same way!
YES!!

It is his own story, but the beauty is that his story is everyone's story. We all know it. We all feel it. There aren't enough people saying it. Oliver Anthony is a much needed voice for these times.
HE sure did! Everyone near and far is loving this and hopefully now seeing clearly we all have a duty to uphold 💪🇺🇸 #OliverAnthony 💞🙏 Let Freedom Ring 🔔 Again
This man speaks for the SILENCED majority. When these messages go viral, it confirms to hard working Americans that they are not alone in their thoughts and feelings when mainstream media likes to make them think they’re a extremist.
Thank you for giving this song a fair shake, BP. Yours is the best commentary on this song that I've heard. I'm an old man, but this song strikes a chord that make me cry every time. (btw: This guy's real name is Chris Lunsford. Oliver Anthony was his grandfather.)
I graduated high school in 1976. I was born in 1958. Times have certainly changed, like he says on another song of his, about the the coal miners, line men, outfitters and all the rest, so that we can all plug in our new bullshit devices... The Internet is destroying humanity.
Born in 1987 here, and I’ve always felt like my soul and mind were older than my peers. This dude’s words struck deep in my being too. Shared unity beyond social categories and divisions is a hell of a thing. Hope you’re all doing well today.
Damn, this hits home. I had no idea the disconnection in the US was at this level. Things are tough in the UK also but this divide potrayed in this song and the Tom Mcdonald tract i heard recently is damning on the leadership within the US. My heart and ❤ goes out to you all. You all need to push to make America the leader and powerhouse we previous saw you as.
Man, you have no idea, the government since the democrats took over cares nothing about the people. That's why they raided the capital. We are sick of it and about to go to war!!!
it’s so sad. i’m 38 now and i feel like the cliche old man that hates the government and longs for the old days. so many in the country are so far from waking up.
I have listened to this song almost on repeat since i first heard it a few days ago. I love seeing people from all over the world come together and agree on such important values and issues. Hopefully waking up a number of people who don’t want to see the truth.
I'm a music teacher and vocal coach. A retired firefighter and veteran marine student sent me Oliver Anthony Rich men north of Richmond. It struck my soul the same way it did yours. I went from 34 students to four virtual during the pandemic. We are just now beginning to recover our losses, and I speak for students, gig musicians and teachers alike, but, of course, our money doesn't go nearly as far anymore. Thank you for your review of this video. I appreciate your input and know that we agree on so many levels.
I was teaching preschool in 2020 and when they closed the schools I was both depressed and angry. I wasn't happy with the stimulus payments because I knew that once they called people back nothing would be the same. They even told us that would be the "new normal." I did not conform to the new normal, but instead I started doing self employment, and the taxes and inflation are so hard to keep up with.
Just visited YT and his song has 22M hits. This does not include the music streaming sites. I sure hope he doesn’t sign with a label so he can keep letting his voice be heard.
@@dlsdyer9071 He has turned down an 8 million dollar offer from a recording company. He said he doesn’t need jets, a fleet of cars, or a mansion. I think he currently lives in a camper with a tarp for a roof on his beautiful property. He’s the Real Deal!
It’s funny that the reaction to this song is universal. You are not alone. I’ve watched lots of reaction videos and everyone is left emotional and speechless. Tells me we’re all feeling the same oppressive sadness. Time to take back our country.
This is a GREAT song. It's appreciation extends from outside of the borders of America. I hope it brings people together against tyranny. Love from the UK. x
This song is absolutely brilliant - because it resonates with basically everyone. Unless you are a rich man North of RIchmond or a politician in Epstein's Black Book. There is nothing controversial in this song, he is spitting straight facts and singing from his soul. It pulls at your heart strings, unless you don't have one.
We need to protect that man at all costs! In the matter of a few days, his one song has brought everybody back together and thats what those people he speaks about dont want. I hope he stays safe. 🙏
He tells the story of the Middle Class American today in 3 minutes. It brings a tear to my eye listening to him singing from his heart. The song stirs your emotions young man, because you're an American with compassion for what's happening to "people like me, and people like you" in todays world.
@@lindaroberts2297 Linda, It looks like there's a cabal of rich elitist, and politicians are trying to take over the entire free world. And its time the middle class stand, and say enough is enough. I wish our friends down under much luck.
I haven't been crying. Haven't boo-hoo cried in a long time. But tears have been streaming down my face since I discovered this song/video. Watching him sing it is necessary. Protect this man.
Bless your little daughter! I was diagnosed with RA and it is the most painful stuff I have ever been through! I can’t imagine a little child going through it. She is in my prayers!
He put a video out a few days ago titled "It's a pleasure to meet you". He has soul and I can relate. We really need to change who we vote for. Vote the career politicians of both parties out!
Oliver prayed and promised that if God would give him his break he would get sober...on his 30th day of sobriety this video went viral. Look to God when you dont know where to turn.
Whatever the lyrics, whatever side you lean, when a song speaks to EVERY single one of us, it's powerful & beautiful. We need more artists that make music that brings us all together as we should be. Loved that you were real & honest with your emotions. We ALL have to stick together.
@gregorypaul7898 No, it is referring to our politicians in Washington, D.C., 100 miles north of where this singer lives. There is way more to this song, clearly, undeniably, absolutely nothing to do with the confederacy or right-wing propaganda. Oliver Anthony's politics are center and this song appeals to and speaks everyone, regardless of their political views. Too bad you are so blind you can't hear.
@@gregorypaul7898really my guy were did u hear anything about right wing or propaganda 🤔 you gotta be a Democrat there 🤔 this man singing from his soul to u and me bro he's protesting the government and there unrighteousness unholy acts upon the people 😅😅😅😅
@@davidkeough729 I live in VA. Everyone here knows "north of Richmond" means "the Union". There are confederate flags everywhere. You just don't understand the lingo so you are misinterpreting it with your own meaning. Believe what you want, I'm just telling you what this means in the confederate states... You don't mention Richmond, the capitol of the confederacy, to describe DC unless it was supposed to have civil war undertones.
His voice is resonating around the world it's number 1 on iTunes in the UK and has now gone to number 1 globally. His voice is amazing and he's correct the politicians are getting richer and the poor are definitely getting poorer not just in America it's happening all over the 🌎25 million views 👍🏻😁🏴
A teacher once told me that singers like Johnny Cash could never succeed in modern times without all the polish, voice coaching, and auto tuning that we’re all used to (this was when Cash was old but still alive). This guy uses natural emotion and raw authenticity to reach people on a fundamental level despite all the superficial social category reasons we’re all used to hearing why he shouldn’t be relatable to many. This is how I imagine people must’ve felt hearing Cash, BB King, Elvis, Kurt Cobain, Louie Ledbetter, and NWA live when they all first came out.
autotune...or hearing Billie Holiday expressing... hearing Aretha Franklin expressing...hearing this raw emotion of Oliver Anthony.........I'll ALWAYS be with the authentic expression. "young men are putting themselves 6 ft. in the ground..........".....no autotone in that,
Recently discovered Oliver Anthony, and I’m so glad I did. As someone who listens to literally all kinds of music, I can honestly say that a lot of punk, rap, indie rock, folk, and country music have the same messages. Glad you guys are bringing artists like this to larger audiences, so people can start to realize that we are all a lot more alike than the government wants us to know.
This song is the music version of Sound of Freedom. I have no doubt that if corporate/political America could have seen this coming, they would have tried to shelve it just like Sound of Freedom was shelved for years. We all need to spread the world about both of those stories, they are that important.
This song gets to me every time. The hardships over the last few years put to words, sung with the pain we are all feeling. Heart wrenching. There's a reason so many of us get all the feels listening to this. We gotta stop letting them divide us. That's how they keep fucking us, and taking advantage of us. We gotta come together and stop consenting to their tyranny.
HERE IT IS, My remix: th-cam.com/video/z3TRoU3Pgg4/w-d-xo.html This song has inspired me to write some lyrics about this subject matter. So I had to put this together. Click the link and let me know your thoughts ☝🏽
looking forward to it can't wait!
People are absolutely starving for music addressing the real problems of the world. We all see this evil. We know.
Go for it mate!
Just the past few years?????? hahahahhahhahha he has a song putting down republicans and democrates yuou need to wake up yourtself. Open your eyes. Hey Ren thinks the same. !!!!
The only thing you know about is 2020/ omg you have to look at history and who did what and why when and how and the slow downfall since 1992 and 2001 and 2008 and 2012 2017 2020 and times befor and in between . this started a long time ago. !!
Fellow Americans, Black, white, brown whatever doesnt matter we have to take our country back. The rich men want us hating each other but fuck that . WE come together and they get scared.
It's true.. Everything from covid to race relations have been manufactured from the Rich men north of Richmond...
The day is coming when the ants will realize we outnumber the grasshoppers(yes,that was A Bugs Life analogy lol !!).......it's time for us to unite as ONE

Devided we fall

The Establishment wants a divided country so they can control the people!
His voice emits the anguish we are all feeling
Exactly 💯
What a beautiful way to put it! Exactly!
Yes, that sums it up perfectly. This has been dubbed rhe working person's anthem, and that's also a fair description.
Amen!! 🙌
You have nailed it! I have watched this at least 20 times, and have described it 20 different ways. But you simply have described it perfectly. God's blessings upon you and yours sister. And thank you.💯🌞🙏💛☯️🌞👍
I am a 20 veteran of law enforcement, and I'm not ashamed to admit a tear came to my eye the first time I heard this song. Younger people do not know how much we have lost over the last 20 years.
Sir, I am a woman purposely watching only men reactions to this song. I am grateful that this man has given all of you a voice! Men are under attack. FACT! The reaction videos have made me cry in relief. One can be made to believe that men don’t give a flying rat, but we know the truth. This man has provided a Holy Spirited song to remind us, God has us and hears us. God speed.
I'm in my mid/late twenties man. I remember a few years before 2001. I think things changed after 9/11.
The world was so different before then. I remember something as simple as being able to walk up to the gate to meet my grandparents that flew into the airport. That tiny example, but things changed so much from when I was a kid in the 90s.

No offense but one of the biggest threats to our freedom right now is LEO
Black Pegasus. I love that name. I'm a 64 yr old white man...about to start Medicare. Never thought I would ever go on Medicare. Had no idea that you HAVE to go on Medicare. You get penalized by the IRS [the rich men north of richmond] if you fail to sign up. I have sat watching reaction vids like this by black rappers and music guys like Black Pegasus for the last hour...weeping. Why? Because I am hearing people who think I am fully different from them, and I think they are different from me. And it's the rich men north of richmond pushing ALL of us to think nobody agrees with us...when we all feel the same way. Black Pegasus is the one I wanted to leave a comment on because he speaks my mind more fluently than the others...but they were saying it too. We are ALL saying the same things.
We have to stop allowing the rich men in DC and the stupid social media moguls and the enemies of our freedom to tell us what to think. EVERY...SINGLE...rap artist I have listened to says what is in MY heart. We are Americans. If we do not stand together we will all go down the toilet together. I salute you Black Pegasus, just as I did Oliver Anthony. I do not listen to country music, nor mountain music like this, nor rap or hip hop. But this message IS calling us to stand together. We must stop listening to these RMNOR (rich men...you get it...) and stop believing the hate. Content of character, not color, not creed and not whatever the proper pronoun might be.
I am going to post an article on my patheos blog about this.
Oliver Anthony speaks to the average everyday American whose voice has been drowned out by people screaming from both sides of the aisle. His music is bringing people together who the powers that be want to divide.
Unfortunately they're using it to divide. The Rolling Stone calling it a far right anthem.... so evil.
Hope this turns things around 🇺🇲 GOD BLESS US ALL💯
It's not only Americas that feel this.
💯
we only get one chance to be righteous
So Oliver was interviewed recently and told a story. He said up until literally one month before recording this song he was dealing with being alcoholic. One night he broke down and had a come to god moment and promised if he could do something with his music he’d never drink again. And stopped drinking. One month later a local radio station contacted him and asked him to perform this song. And here we are today!!! I’m not even religious and this gives me chills
God is awesome
Pastor -"God is good...." Church- "All the time!!!!" Im not sure why they have a line thru this statement that is said in thousands of churches across the country. This is His country not theirs.
Wow, thanks for sharing that!
What a story. Thank you for sharing it with us.
Do you know where to find the interview?
What makes this song great is it transcends through race, age, or political view. It hits home for so many Americans.
I'm not even American and I feel it! Haha
We have the same rich politicians and scandals. Currently our prime minister is worth £750 million and he can't even work out how to pay for petrol at the garage... he has no idea what the cost of living crisis really is.
Rich men north of Brixton here lol
I'm Korean and this still resonates heavily with me. I think anyone whose been in the working class understands the struggles this man is singing about.
This right here! 💯
Democrats are the epitome of evil tho. I think we can all see that plain as day by now. I hope....
And french!
He stepped up to the mic, laid himself bare and opened a vein. We’re all here laid bare and bleeding too. He’s not singing to us, he’s singing for us and we’re singing with him.
Yes Ma’am, you are absolutely correct ☮️
Well said!
You have the soul of a poet. I see you.❤️
I’m from U.K. and it had me tearing up. The awake world will unite through this song. We have to get this thing done. The fact it has gone viral means we all get it. Let’s ride this wave all the way to the end. The light is ascending finally. ❤️❤️❤️
Hey! I saw US exports of beer to the UK surpasse imports from the UK, so I wanted to warn you - there are some intriguing US porters, stouts, and ales, but most US brewers don't understand light beer, and All of the mass-produced US stuff is garbage.
That being said - pay and costs in the US have gotten to the point where the majority of people cannot hope to ever have kids. The situation in western Europe is similar. Also, there's a LOT of media lying or not covering stuff. Like in Australia there were massive anti-lockdown protests. We hardly heard anything about it in the US. There have been a bunch of massively popular maga (make america great again) marches, and the media pretends they never happened. It's only sometimes, like with the collapse of Bud lite and disney, that it becomes hard for the media to hide what's happening. The US also has the problem that it's balkanizing. New York state and Texas state (to name some big ones) are perhaps more different from each other than England and Scotland are. It would depend how you measured (clothing and food, dialect, lifestyle, religion and politics). But the main point is, they are getting more different every decade. And the same thing is going on with smaller states. I live in Missouri now, and there's a similar divide growing between Missouri and Illinois, though they are next to each other. The same divide is growing in Canada between Quebec and British Columbia versus the central provinces. And I expect the divide is everywhere now: It is the places set up like cities persecuting the places set up like towns and pastures, the wealthy and the irresponsible against the hard-working responsible.
Also, I've seen some people from Europe talking about the US taxes being low, at around 25%. This is true. But what crushes a lot of US people is medical bills. The medical system in the US pays a lot more for itself than the European one, that is a lot more of medical payments are coming from individual's pockets as opposed to being subsidized by taxes. And the US medical system is one of the most top heavy, and least practical ones in the world. For a full time job the employer is going to try to pay you close to minimum wages so they can pay for your medical plan, or you will have to pay a high percentage of your monthly salary for a medical plan. I pay something around $500 a month for a medical plan, and that's the most basic level, and it's not all tax deductible. So I spend a little more than a week out of every month paying for my medical plan, a little more than a week out of every month paying for my rent and utilities, and little more than a week out of every month paying for food. And this is why I don't have kids. But this isn't the story of the US. This is the story of the entire developed world.

This song is literally speaking to EVERYONE! Who knew a folk country song from a bearded guy standing in the middle of the woods in front of a deer stand with his dogs laying by his side would have such a profound effect on us all! 💯🙌
I think it has a profound effect on us all because it’s real. We are living it. We will not survive as a country unless all of us, black, white, Asian, Hispanic, decide we have more in common than the evil people North of Richmond want us to realize.
This is what real soul music IS. The song is nothing less than the primal scream of MILLIONS set to music. If you don't get some sort of visceral or emotional reaction upon listening, then I question your humanity.
This is what American Country/Folk music is supposed to be. It's what Punk rock attempts to be but falls short. Now they Rage on behalf of the Machine.
He is singing what we all have been feeling but feel powerless to change. He has given a voice to everyone's frustrations.

@@NeilLewis77you’re the joke and if you don’t understand the meaning of EVERY word in this song, you’re part of the problem and likely using social programs to cheat the system, instead of what they were intended for, Moe Ron.
@@NeilLewis77you apparently want listening and heard what you want. He attacks all the rich. He attacks the government for helping people who don't really need it while letting those who do starve. Just because he says the word welfare does not mean he's attacking them and if you feel attacked maybe you should lay off the fudge rounds.
I'm a 65 year old white guy and my heart is breaking for this country but I am glad that we all are connecting to this in a real way it's a blessing from God
Amen. Oliver Anthony put into words what we 65 yr old know we are losing. This is not our America. Biden and the RICH MEN north of Richmond are killing us. Stand United patriots. We all have been used and lied to. Cost of everything is up to fund Ukraine. Please vote for TRUMP. I truly believe he is the only one that can turn this around. They wouldn't allow him to do his job as #45. He already knows what needs to happen. Don't put anyone in and make sure to watch your 6. Too much evil and it's time we take our country back. Please vote
I'm 64 and right there with you. I can't believe the US Army is paying for soldiers to grow breasts, Target is selling toddler clothes that celebrate perversion, a President is so clearly on the take, able bodied people won't work, colleges teach trash, and mop top idiot stands at the White House press podium and tells us everything is awesome. I'm glad I don't have kids-we are leaving the next generation a crap sandwich.

"Livin' in the new world, with an old soul." I've felt that way since 2000.
Dude just brought the whole damn world together. It blows my mind how powerful music actually is ..its like its own source of energy.
This man a month ago was battling alcoholism..he dropped to his knees, prayed to God that if he gave up drinking, he just wanted guidance to help his fellow man with his music. That was a month ago… the power of God is amazing and so is Oliver Anthony. And we are so very proud of our fellow Virginian❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️
I literally cried. Watching reaction video after reaction video of this song and he's reaching EVERYONE. Belt it out to God and everyone my Appalachian brother.
Literally me, my brother.. we are all in this together, Oliver Anthony’s Anthem to America
I feel you, I have watched like 50 reaction videos and the actual song twice as much and every single time I get goosebumps. Haven't not had goosebumps once.
How this man is putting words in a song that describes the burden that is on all of our shoulders is just chilling. And this is not just applicable for Americans, this is a global thing. I am from Europe and this man is singing what we are experiencing also. We are all humans dealing with the burden the globalist elites are putting on the entire world.

I can’t stop watching reaction videos! My wife want to kill me lol
But I keep getting choked up too
I have cried all day listening to this on loop. What he has done is he captured our collective sorrow, rage, and everything in between regarding what the corrupt government has done to all of us and our Constitutional Republic. He did it so perfectly inclusive of all of us who ARE in the crosshairs of the gov't. He hit the target on the real problem: gov't against the people and not gender, race, schoolboards or ufos . . .
Who would of thought...we actually do fundamentally agree
And he did it in 3 minutes

YES!! We or rather the Rich men North of Richmond and those with initials like c, i and a; f, e and d; i, r and s; AND m, i, and c and everything that implies, have started and fought wars using our tax dollars to fund both sides for a very long time. The embarrassing part of it is that people in other parts of the world knew it before we the u.s. people did. My once proud American patriotism is now laying at my feet in a decimated heap about 1 breath away from dead. It's been so painful experiencing it.
Now that so many of us, here and all over the world, have a clarified grip on reality, we need to resist EN MASS at the very next thing thrown at us. The Overtone Window is the only thing the Rich men North of Richmond and the many, many other criminal organizations known best by their initials truly fear; that is, the rising of the masses. Just be clear that WE are NOT each other's enemy. THEY are the guilty ones.
This dude was so low key known, no one knew of him before this absolute anthem. And now he is the hottest star of how the majority of America feels.
No matter how many times I hear this song, I either cry or get chills. It really touches your soul. He’s speaking for all of us!
This resonates in me here in the U.K. Globally we must all NEVER allow the powers that be have so much power over our lives ever again!
Another great reaction.
Oliver Anthony brought the world closer together than anything in 20 plus years with this one song in a matter of mins.
We needed this.

@luckyhaskins69 Three dogs 🙂
This is actually raging against the machine… in a beautiful, poetic, masterfully delivered song. He is so humble and I applaud that he put himself out there in such a vulnerable position and people are resonating with him because he is the brave man that we all wish we could be. He spares not a single word with fluff or padding. Every single word in this masterpiece is intentional and important. I have seen so many people have their eyes opened by this single man’s passionate lament. It’s encouraging and moving.
I love Rage and I get the same overwhelming fight to do something but in a totally different vibe. Like this makes me wanna cry and Rage make me want to punch a wall. Lol
This hit me hard as a veteran and a patriot. His song touches on everything that will get people cancled, and I love it. You feel this raw, unadulterated emotion of the pain, disgust, and betrayal. This song has reignited that tiny little ember that was nearly snuffed out by the rich men north of Richmond, and I pray that tiny ember turns into an inferno🙌🇺🇲
Yes Sir, Thank You. I too have the tiniest sliver of hope and I know plenty of other decent Americans who feel the same. Something absolutely must and will change.
As a vet myself, I totally agree brother.
God Richly Bless you sir!! ❤ Thank You for your service.
On his channel, Oliver Anthony said that this is the first song he's recorded that wasn't just done on his cell phone. He's literally just starting out and has hit a nerve across the globe with this one.
This Song hits Everyone no matter your Political Party or beliefs . He is spitting Facts
And the man is a ginger.....
screw political parties. they vote where the money comes from. rich shareholders rule the world.
I didn't realize how sad I've been about the demise of the USA until I heard this song. Right to my heart. BP remix is fire af.
The song may be based on the USA today but is applicable to most of the world suffering under corrupt governments. From South Africa.

According to him, he suffered from alcoholism, drug abuse and mental health for a while. He wrote this song and once it started going viral he realized he found his purpose. This song will be a generational anthem. It’s a modern day outlaw/folk anthem. The truth is a powerful thing
This man is speaking for the everyday man. It's a damn shame what's happened to this country. God bless you all.
If TIME magazine does not short-list him for POTY, I will be extremely disappointed.
He’s a blessing to the world right now.
Everytime I listen....I repeat it about 10x....no joke...10 repeats....I just gotta listen again, and again, and again AND AGAINNNN
What a voice. This song is saying what all of us Americans have been feeling. While those rich men North of Richmond keep fighting over foreign wars, illegal immigration, pronouns, DEI, and other BULLSHIT, we are carrying the weight of the responsibility. That is OUR hard-earned money going to fund Rich Men north of Richmond pockets. Revolution is needed and coming to save this once great nation. We the People are crying out ...but the tears will soon stop. This song reflects the SOUL of our nation, and those men North of Richmond don't relate because their souls are already gone.

Damn, this hits home. I had no idea the disconnection in the US was at this level. Things are tough in the UK also but this divide potrayed in this song and the Tom Mcdonald tract i heard recently is damning on the leadership within the US. My heart and ❤ goes out to you all. You all need to push to make America the leader and powerhouse we previous saw you as.
We are trying so hard brother, we appreciate the support from you all too!
🙏🙏🙏💕
Man, you have no idea, the government since the democrats took over cares nothing about the people. That's why they raided the capital. We are sick of it and about to go to war!!!
it’s so sad. i’m 38 now and i feel like the cliche old man that hates the government and longs for the old days. so many in the country are so far from waking up.
MAGA
I have listened to this song almost on repeat since i first heard it a few days ago. I love seeing people from all over the world come together and agree on such important values and issues. Hopefully waking up a number of people who don’t want to see the truth.
I'm a music teacher and vocal coach. A retired firefighter and veteran marine student sent me Oliver Anthony Rich men north of Richmond. It struck my soul the same way it did yours. I went from 34 students to four virtual during the pandemic. We are just now beginning to recover our losses, and I speak for students, gig musicians and teachers alike, but, of course, our money doesn't go nearly as far anymore. Thank you for your review of this video. I appreciate your input and know that we agree on so many levels.
I was teaching preschool in 2020 and when they closed the schools I was both depressed and angry. I wasn't happy with the stimulus payments because I knew that once they called people back nothing would be the same. They even told us that would be the "new normal."
I did not conform to the new normal, but instead I started doing self employment, and the taxes and inflation are so hard to keep up with.
@@sharonabbott9588 the impact on the children and their learning environment was profound.
I’ve heard this song around 50 times in the last 3 days and it’s still bringing tears to my eyes.
The song hit #1 on iTunes this weekend. Love that this is going viral, and people are waking up.
Well, apparently we are not all buying what the mainstream media is selling! Thank heavens!
Just visited YT and his song has 22M hits. This does not include the music streaming sites. I sure hope he doesn’t sign with a label so he can keep letting his voice be heard.
@@dlsdyer9071 He has turned down an 8 million dollar offer from a recording company. He said he doesn’t need jets, a fleet of cars, or a mansion. I think he currently lives in a camper with a tarp for a roof on his beautiful property. He’s the Real Deal!
It’s funny that the reaction to this song is universal. You are not alone. I’ve watched lots of reaction videos and everyone is left emotional and speechless. Tells me we’re all feeling the same oppressive sadness. Time to take back our country.
The power of passion, 4 chords and the truth. 🔥🔥🔥
This is a GREAT song. It's appreciation extends from outside of the borders of America. I hope it brings people together against tyranny. Love from the UK. x
I love that every music genre has accepted this as great. Talk about crossing all boundaries
This song is absolutely brilliant - because it resonates with basically everyone. Unless you are a rich man North of RIchmond or a politician in Epstein's Black Book. There is nothing controversial in this song, he is spitting straight facts and singing from his soul. It pulls at your heart strings, unless you don't have one.
We need to protect that man at all costs! In the matter of a few days, his one song has brought everybody back together and thats what those people he speaks about dont want. I hope he stays safe. 🙏
This song transcends race and politics which is why it hits hard.
He tells the story of the Middle Class American today in 3 minutes. It brings a tear to my eye listening to him singing from his heart. The song stirs your emotions young man, because you're an American with compassion for what's happening to "people like me, and people like you" in todays world.
it is not just American, is over entire Western world - we in Australia & NZ listening & getting goosebumps
@@lindaroberts2297 Linda, It looks like there's a cabal of rich elitist, and politicians are trying to take over the entire free world. And its time the middle class stand, and say enough is enough. I wish our friends down under much luck.
God bless you Oliver you bring tears to my eyes every time
We all teared and choked up too bro. This dude is speaking straight to the soul of America
I haven't been crying. Haven't boo-hoo cried in a long time. But tears have been streaming down my face since I discovered this song/video. Watching him sing it is necessary. Protect this man.
Ditto
100%
I feel ya
He is singing with pure emotion. We can all relate to this.
Bless your little daughter! I was diagnosed with RA and it is the most painful stuff I have ever been through! I can’t imagine a little child going through it. She is in my prayers!
Your reaction is absolutely priceless and right on the money.
This is a good old folk protest song
He put a video out a few days ago titled "It's a pleasure to meet you". He has soul and I can relate. We really need to change who we vote for. Vote the career politicians of both parties out!
Him and Tom MacDonald, it feels like the 60's, inspirational music shaping a revolution and Patriotism !
Oliver prayed and promised that if God would give him his break he would get sober...on his 30th day of sobriety this video went viral. Look to God when you dont know where to turn.
Whatever the lyrics, whatever side you lean, when a song speaks to EVERY single one of us, it's powerful & beautiful. We need more artists that make music that brings us all together as we should be. Loved that you were real & honest with your emotions. We ALL have to stick together.
Both parties are evil but we have to choose the lesser of two evils. Trump 24 or this is just the beginning. Don't kid yourself
"The rich men north of Richmond"... This is literally pro-confederacy right-wing propaganda.
@gregorypaul7898 No, it is referring to our politicians in Washington, D.C., 100 miles north of where this singer lives. There is way more to this song, clearly, undeniably, absolutely nothing to do with the confederacy or right-wing propaganda. Oliver Anthony's politics are center and this song appeals to and speaks everyone, regardless of their political views. Too bad you are so blind you can't hear.
@@gregorypaul7898really my guy were did u hear anything about right wing or propaganda 🤔 you gotta be a Democrat there 🤔 this man singing from his soul to u and me bro he's protesting the government and there unrighteousness unholy acts upon the people 😅😅😅😅
@@davidkeough729 I live in VA. Everyone here knows "north of Richmond" means "the Union". There are confederate flags everywhere. You just don't understand the lingo so you are misinterpreting it with your own meaning. Believe what you want, I'm just telling you what this means in the confederate states... You don't mention Richmond, the capitol of the confederacy, to describe DC unless it was supposed to have civil war undertones.
His voice is resonating around the world it's number 1 on iTunes in the UK and has now gone to number 1 globally. His voice is amazing and he's correct the politicians are getting richer and the poor are definitely getting poorer not just in America it's happening all over the 🌎25 million views 👍🏻😁🏴
A teacher once told me that singers like Johnny Cash could never succeed in modern times without all the polish, voice coaching, and auto tuning that we’re all used to (this was when Cash was old but still alive).
This guy uses natural emotion and raw authenticity to reach people on a fundamental level despite all the superficial social category reasons we’re all used to hearing why he shouldn’t be relatable to many.
This is how I imagine people must’ve felt hearing Cash, BB King, Elvis, Kurt Cobain, Louie Ledbetter, and NWA live when they all first came out.
@@MemphisCorollaS The teacher was right within the music industry, fortunately the music industry can no longer control the music.

autotune...or hearing Billie Holiday expressing... hearing Aretha Franklin expressing...hearing this raw emotion of Oliver Anthony.........I'll ALWAYS be with the authentic expression. "young men are putting themselves 6 ft. in the ground..........".....no autotone in that,
This man had blessed the WORLDWIDE ❤❤❤❤
Recently discovered Oliver Anthony, and I’m so glad I did. As someone who listens to literally all kinds of music, I can honestly say that a lot of punk, rap, indie rock, folk, and country music have the same messages. Glad you guys are bringing artists like this to larger audiences, so people can start to realize that we are all a lot more alike than the government wants us to know.
THIS MADE ME FEEL EXACTLY HOW YOU DESCRIBED HOW IT MADE YOU FEEL MAN. literally holding back tears.
This song is the music version of Sound of Freedom. I have no doubt that if corporate/political America could have seen this coming, they would have tried to shelve it just like Sound of Freedom was shelved for years. We all need to spread the world about both of those stories, they are that important.
This song gets to me every time. The hardships over the last few years put to words, sung with the pain we are all feeling. Heart wrenching. There's a reason so many of us get all the feels listening to this.
We gotta stop letting them divide us. That's how they keep fucking us, and taking advantage of us. We gotta come together and stop consenting to their tyranny.
