His vocal "waves" go from rage to despair. This is how we all feel.
that is the getter of this song--- the emotion in his voice
Not how we all feel.
TRUE @@whramijg Too many people still have their heads buried deep up the systems A$$
@whramijg i can tell by looking at your hands that this doesn't apply to you.
@@whramijg How do You feel?
There is only one reason why this went so viral. It is the message. A message that so many feel and think. He managed to put the frustration into song so passionately.
I have listened everyday since first heard it a month ago and every time I cry 😭 it’s deeply emotional
If you had Taylor Swift sing this song. Are many more mainstream singers! It does not go number! If he had a multi-millionaire singing this song. It just would not be the same!
I love the message and hear it but what really gets me is how he provides it. I don't need any words.
Only one reason? Just gonna disregard his great voice? :p
It's extremely disingenuous and not the least bit insulting to reduce this man's talent and success to the now extremely tired trope of "russian trolls". Because yes, it must absolutely be mostly trolls that make up that view count, absolutely none of them have been real people in countries other than the United States, and of course, none of them are selling out tickets to see him in real life because the message in his music is so genuine and resonates so well with all of us that still have a brain and functioning heart. Christ almighty the level of cognitive dissonance required to see Russian trolls everywhere is almost unbelievable.
I think my daughter said it best. I had a basset hound, and every day when I'd go to work, Duke would howl a painfully lonely tune. This song has the same kind of effect on the heart.
My 4 dogs hate when I leave every morning and I always tell them I'd rather spend the day with them but I have to make money to pay the bills for them. 😢
@Neighbor618 i hope the 4 of them understand 🙏
My dads dog cries until he gets back from work and my cat won't touch his food until I get back.
Worked a year straight and still worry about supper. Sucks when your so tired, but you can't sleep...
I freaking LOVED THIS.....
the truth is.... we ALL have our RICH man north of RICHMOND regardless of our Country... :)
There is only one privilege worldwide and throughout time and thats financial privilege and those who have it have no intention of sharing it or losing it . If they weaponize all the other people against eachother they're not paying attention to them consolidating more and more wealth and power
@@matsauvagea To be fair, there is at least a 1% of the rich that actually give a shit and don't act like complete dicks. But yeah, screw the other 99%.
This is different from the type of music I gravitate to. That said, I was captivated by his voice and delivery. I was tearing up
I Gotta Get Sober man it is so well done. Virginia is great too.
And so poetically written.
I think it made us all cry!
Fun fact: Chris (Oliver) says he didn't finish writing the song until about 3 hours before they recorded this video.
The word "divisive" is a media slur for anti-establishment.
Oliver Anthony points out that the conflict isn't between Political Party Brand A versus Political Party Brand B. The true conflict is the establishment at war against the taxpayers. This piece resonates with all walks and across the political spectrum.
🙏
I enjoyed your reaction and comments. Most people outside of the USA don't understand the geography either and therefore miss the root meaning of this song. I'm glad that you looked it up on a map. AND BY THE WAY, Washington DC is only about 120 miles from Richmond, which is only about a two hour drive and not four days. LOL
Maybe if you walk/run there. Though that's probably dangerous.
FVM is definitely one of the most technically gifted vocal coaches on YT. I always enjoy her analyses.
I have listen to this song 100’s of times and still totally amazed! This song should be song of the years!
Sometimes songs are not meant to be just entertainment. It's about connections. You're point on his tired voice enhancing the point of the song is well said. As always, you're the best on TH-cam
Love how you said he SANG it
Alot of today's singers just don't sang it at all
His voice is full of favor,pain & Bares is soul
First time I heard this song my response was "He speaks for me"
First time I heard this song my response was to play it again.
@@rickschlosser6793 First time i heard this i was thinking "oh wow not all people are asleep" this song Resonates all over the globe.
@@mrj9585 Yup. It transcends borders. I am a broken, disillusioned veteran from Sweden, and I feel that he spoke to, and for me, as well. That is why this song was so vilified in the legacy media.
Perhaps it may clear up any misunderstanding to know that his reference to being obese was not "fat-bashing", rather he was explaining that there are many people in the US that take advantage of the welfare system while so many others who need help are unable to get basic necessities such as food and shelter. The lyrics, "Taxes ought not to pay for your bag of fudge rounds" speaks to this very problem. Thank you for sharing and shining!
I appreciate the artists speaking of taking advantage of the welfare system but he chose a group to represent that and shamed them. He could have gone with almost any other group that is on welfare and I'm almost 100% certain the backlash would have been incredible (i.e. any minority or pretty much any other medical condition)
@@michaelrains64295 whoa man...no reason to get personal. By the way I spoke for no one. Also what about my original post indicated I was having a tantrum?
@@fatherjimbo I believe the tantrum part is you having an opinion different from theirs.
He is spot on. If he would of picked a different group he would be called a bigot and a racist. Better to just say it how it is and let people wee themselves. Someone will always be looking to be offended.
Food assistance used to be literal "food stamps", which entitled you to food staples with some nutritional value. Now they give people debit cards which they can use to buy junk food and even go to fast food restaurants and buy a $15 lunch with virtually no nutritional value.
Wow, I've watched lots of reactions to this song, you're the first to mention the significance of the line "people like me, and people like you", which i think is the most inspired line in the song.
First time seeing your channel, I'm definitely going to check out more of your stuff.
I was SOOOOOOO waiting for you to do this one!! I haven't had a song hit me thi
s hard..... ever. There is so much in here that just speaks to so many of us.... it is one of those very select few songs that I could listen to over and over and over again. He so obviously feels every word and I just can't help but get dragged along - this is a generationally defining song and I freaking love it - it is for EVERYONE ... we are all in this sh!t together and Rich Men is a fantastic reminder of that 👍🤙❤ Love to all my brothers and sisters out there
If you're a person struggling with addiction his song "I've got to get sober" will flatten you. Dude just gets it he's so real.
I've been listening to his commentaries on this song so far but I'm definitely going to check out his other stuff - thanks for the recommendation 👍@@vulgarprophet2689
You will love reacting to three other of his songs: “I Want To Go Home”, I’ve Gotta Get Sober”, and “Doggonit”. Actually, all of his songs are AMAZING!
I gotta get a sober made me choke on my tears. That one hit home hard
Not only is this a true song for America, the song is for the world. It hit hits hard for many many many people of all shapes and sizes and colors
His voice is giving me chills!
🎶💜🎶 .. I like you for who you are Lolli. I had a feeling you would react to this gem. As an American , this song certainly grabs you by the shirt and says pay attention for a few minutes. You certainly could see and hear his honesty , and then feel it. I like that people around the world feel this message. Thank you Lolli ... 🎼🎼🎼🎆🎆🎆🎶🎆🎆🎆🎼🎼🎼
The experience of reacting lifts your conscience to a higher level .. It is great to know we are not alone ..👍👍💕
Once again, you're the only real vocal coach on the 'Tubes that gave a real critique of his singing, and you were so kind in not just recognizing his untrained voice and understanding why it is, but actually giving him advice on how to help him with longevity going forward. I think I read somewhere he has signed up for voice lessons because he's very aware of the fact he doesn't have any training - I just hope they have your love of vocal variety and care and allows him to keep his messaging. I really appreciate the way you are. Best 👍
Once again you have nailed everything about Oliver!👍👍
I love to see the feeling in your reactions you can see every bit of emotion in you expression.
What a remarkable breakdown. You not only got the message and the heartache and hopelessness that fuels this anthem for good people at every corner of the globe and you do a great job walking us through the peaks and valleys of his voice. I am impressed with your presentation and my first time watching your channel I must say you are quite easy on the eyes. Good job
Oliver's ability to emote genuine emotion and passion through his music is like a breath of fresh air. He made me feel as if he were a cherished friend. I loved your insightful, and straight forward reaction. It's obvious you know your stuff.
It's not just a song. It's OUR LIVES!
12:19 - Well said. I think it's important to focus on the majority of the song that is a common experience these days rather than getting pushed away by whatever small section of the lyrics doesn't resonate. He's also not a politician, he worked his ass off in industrial jobs before *fracturing his skull on the job* and having to switch to sales.
"I sit pretty dead center down the aisle on politics and always have."
13:02 - Another awesome point, thank you.
I am a Marine: not under contract, slaving my ass away just to come home and drink the shitty day away, praying to God that I make it through the next day, and that my life has purpose to make those I work with have a better, happier day while I don't succumb to the absolute misery of my work environment. It is a struggle, daily. But as a Christian, this is our command by God and our duty. If we are encompassed by the Holy Spirit, we are to be the light to others. Believe me, it is an absolute struggle for us. But when you go home knowing that you made lives better, YOU will feel better, and uplifted. Please try tomorrow, and every day after, uplifting those around you instead of selfishly pouting and raging out. Making folks happy will make you happy. Making folks miserable will make you miserable.
I'm neither American nor religious, but I appreciate your struggle and your message.
You're obviously doing it to help people and that deserves massive respect.
I hate religion when it turns you into an asshole, but if religion makes you a good person, I'm here for it.
So much respect, I know the comment was 5 months ago, but I appreciate you. Not as a military or religious fellow, but just from person to person.
All the best to you.
The way I see it, there's only two kinds of people, doesn't matter where you from or what you believe.
There's assholes and there's people who aren't.
@@xenogenesis9635 Brother, I hear ya. See me not as American, religious or a Marine. That was my fault for labeling myself as such, even though it was only for context.
I am a follower of the Way, a child of God and a disciple of Christ Yeshua. That is how I want to be identified. God bless you and thank you for coming to me as a Brother to point out my faults.
@@SavageDawgJoshua Ain't no fault in describing who you are. If someone wants to interpret things into that, that's on them. You know what you stand for and that's great.
Just be a good person and everything's alright.
Cheers to you and your family, mate. Best of luck!
Really good analysis once again, thanks as always for pointing out so many details and sharing such helpful info!
Thank you for this new video and all the joy that you bring us. A big hug
I watch A LOT of vocal coach reactions and you are, without a doubt, my favorite. Your talent simply amazes me!
I commented above before I watched this video, because I had just finished watching a couple more of yours, so I had not seen the part of you looking at the map of Richmond, VA and Washington, DC yet. When you said that would be about a 4 day drive it made me 😂. I'm one state below Virginia, in the Raleigh area of central North Carolina, and one of my sons lives in Richmond. It takes him about 3 hours to drive home. It takes less than 2 hours for him to drive up to DC. There's a little geography lesson for ya. 😁
I have been impressed and enheartened by the respectful discussions that I seen in the comments under so many of the reactions to this song.
Another that I've noticed has touched people and engendered a lot of thoughtful discussion is _I Want To Go Home_. I particularly like _Virginia_ because, well, there are places that sing to me too.
Thank you for your thoughtful and insightful analysis. And the mini vocal lesson. I enjoy your videos.
I've loved this song my whole life. I'm just glad somebody finally sang it.
Not only do you give some of the best content TH-cam provides, but you are one of the best humans that God has gifted to this world.
Keep being amazing, Lolli!!!! 💜💛
Instant subscription because of your reaction. Outside of his performance, which is fantastic, the message is real.
Yours was the far most analytical, precise, and insightful investigation of Oliver’s “Rich man north of Richmond. The old fashioned version was simply 3 chords and a truth
When I first heard this. One of the things that really dragged me in was just the recording.
He is just singing in the woods. You can hear the sound travel. You can hear the insects.
Its really something honest. So much music today is so produced, and layered its impossible to say where any of it comes from.
And that really had me right from the start.
The lyrics also has many.. its well written. The lyrics tries to be smart, dancing around topics that can be tricky.
Also why some of them have been misunderstood.
Like the Rich men north of Richmond. Because Richmond used to be the capital of the Southern states in the American civil war.
See I dont know if that plays a role in him choosing this line. But thinking about it I just feel he used it for the word play it is, Rich Men. Richmond. and The politicians is all up north from there.
But it does leave the ability for people to wonder.
Same with him talking about obese. Is he saying its a shame that people who really suffer, being homeless ( Something the US suffers under, having more homeless people than any developed nation in the world ) is not getting the help they should. While people who has wealth, and the ability to eat and a home gets bailed out by the state. And the richer you are, the more help you get. Because the US is also the country with most corruption among the developed nations.
Or does he mean that obese people are just dragging the state down, and instead of spending the economy on such things it, it should be used elsewhere.
It can be understood in both ways. And he does not really clarify in the song one way or the other, again leaving it up to people to gather the meaning they hear.
I hope its the first. Because I agree its a damn shame, that the rich gets more and more from the state, while people suffering and being sick, living on the street gets nothing but the end of a police stick.
If its an attack on obese people, I dont really like it. Sure there are problems with it, that has to do with the state, and how we learn to consume food, what we learn to ease, and ease of access to food. That should be improved. But to just make the claim obese people are a burden to the welfare system, is something that is more harmful than helpful.
I do not think think this song is against welfare or against obese people. First Oliver talks about people on the streets having nothing to eat (and no welfare since no address), second he talks about the cheaters milking welfare and third he talks about young people ending their lives because they're tired of being kicked down. You can't take the second part out of the first and third without changing the meaning of the whole thing.
This song is about the cheaters at the top and the cheaters at the bottom, both of them sucking the life out of people like you and people like me.
In my opinion the song has nothing to do with the left or the right, it is about the unfairness of the rich men getting all the wealth while those people who produce this wealth get none of it.
The left is supposed to be the political party that defends the poor against the rich. Since the Democrats regularly defend the rich against the poor, we can conclude that there is nothing left of the left in the Democrat party.
Obesity related illness comprises 1/3 of Medicare cost.
Food stamps is an absolutely broken, exploited system and this is knowledge that is readily available to lower working class people as they'll know of many first hand examples of both its exploitation and failure to actually serve any potential reasonable application. I worked at a grocery store starting at 16 that did most of its business in food stamps and the vast majority of families had more money for groceries than my working class family ever had. When my stepdad got cancer and couldn't work, my family was denied food stamps and then just a few years later, I see obese people spending an obscene amount of money of buggies full of junk (and not just a couple of people, but most of the people who had food stamps). And then I'd carry out these groceries to brand new Cadillacs, see people selling their food stamps at 50 cent to the dollar or to buy drugs and buying beer and tobacco with the "cash" version of their food stamps. And then after seeing this completely unfair, arbitrary application of welfare I got a further taste when my friends eighty something year old grandmother was given $25 a month when she was a woman who'd worked in the mills all her life even well past the age of retirement. Welfare is nothing more than a way for the state to create dependent, docile people which is why they wont help the working class and people with too much pride to become dependent on the states teet (or too old). This is what he's speaking on, hence the comparison between the situation of the homeless and those who abuse the food stamp system.
@@AcidAdventurer That is what YOU think he means. Neither of us speak for him.
But also, what I hear is a failed system, as so often with the US.
The corrupt system, that does not work is at fault.
As with so many things in the US, bad systems are in place that waste money, because doing better things is not getting done.
Often because companies pay politicians not to have them done.
But you should put your energy into hating on the system. Because its the system and not the people who create the issues you have with it.
The people have no power to stop it, or change it. Its not their fault its there, or that it does not work. Its the government, and how public poltics is generally done in the US.
There is a reason, despite on paper having so much money, still is the nation in the developed world with most corruption, most homeless people, places with more poverty than 3 world countries, including lack of electricity and water.
UN have deemed certain places in the US, worse than African war zones in terms of living standards.
Dont blame the people. blame the system who have all the tools to fix these things. But does not.
@@AcidAdventurer Thank you for sharing this.
Clearly there are honest people who don't abuse welfare.
But we're not talking about them, and Oliver Anthony is also not taking about them.
People who abuse welfare often use those who don't as a shield to hide their misconduct.
They are the ones this song is talking about.
CDC Quote "People who have obesity, compared to those with a healthy weight, are at increased risk for many serious diseases and health conditions. In addition, obesity and its associated health problems have a significant economic impact on the US health care system."
Pointing out the effects of obesity and the cost on individuals and society it NOT fat shaming, its awareness.
Obesity is definitely not something to glamorise and ‘accept’ by any means. I love humans and I want them all to be healthy. It’s just that I really think it’s an issue to be solved with love and encouragement. Pointing the finger at any civilian who is struggling is unhelpful, obese people are also struggling with stuff! Otherwise they probably wouldn’t be obese. 💜
@TheFairyVoiceMother It also brings to light that you _can't_ spend your "food stamps" on a bag of potatoes at a farm market but you _can_ buy chips, soda and "a bag of fudge rounds" at a gas station.
@@TheFairyVoiceMother He is not pointing the finger at any civilian. He is making a point at how we waste money going to the obese. He is stating that we shouldn't pay for them to be sick and unhealthy while others have no food at all. I would agree with you if he called fat/obese people names or demeaned them directly. We can all be kind, but that does not mean we ignore systemic problems that make situations worse. Sad to see the damage done to you when you were young, but this is not the same thing. I hope you find a way to deal with your hurt and anger for the fat shaming you experienced. Even this discussion shows the value of his lyrics. We need to support the obese in health, not in sickness.❤
Speaking as someone that used to be pretty obese, I can tell you that the way we talk about it does matter and I vehemently dislike either extreme when it comes to "fat discourse". Practically speaking, no amount of shame or guilt or telling someone they cost the medical system too much is going to force most overweight people into a gym, it may keep them away because of fear of judgment (whether real or perceived). I think for a select few that approach works, but it also leads to some pretty toxic attitudes based on some of the people I've been around. I think Overeating is inherently self-destructive, in the same way that alcohol abuse is, and some people tend to view both those things with a rather unsympathetic stance. I don't believe that "fat acceptance" is the answer, but neither is shit-talking the overweight. I sought therapy the year before I started losing weight, I honestly doubt I'd have ever gotten in shape if I didn't have someone compassionate help me get me on the right track. It's a complicated issue, because you have the objective medical facts, of course, (facts I was super well aware of as a biology major at the time), but people themselves don't change at a moment's notice due to empirical evidence, because we're all somewhat irrational when it comes to decision making, even if we don't like to admit it.
@@FLNatureGuy maybe the American welfare system is more corrupt than I thought! I hate the thought of processed food being all that is offered to people. May they do better 💜
Good show lady! Way to learn on the fly!! With the geography of our crazy big country. I was curious if this type of performance could be sustained for a significant time. Cheers!
Old soul commenting on an old soul, singing about old souls! INSTANT Sub.... You have amazing insight my friend!
It’s either an an hour and 40 minute drive or 3 1/2 hours depending on traffic lol. He’s got something in his voice that absolutely stirs the soul.
Big hugs right back atcha❣️🤗
I enjoy these little moments that you share with us. You brighten up my day and I just wanted to say Thank You for being you.
I like your contributions to the world. Always puts me in a better mood and I’m not usually in a good mood.
I missed a few of your posts but catching up and what a good analysis of this guy! This women needs more subs for sure!!
God your voice is so powerful
The explanation of why his voice is so hard hitting was very insightful. Thanks.
If his music doesn't touch your heart - you may not have one.
It is a conversation had by many of us with our friends here in the US. I believe this song resinates with the whole world.
Lovely as always
Your editing is terrific! Makes me want to watch you bunches of times!
Thanks for your breakdown. I just thought it was simply soulful.
Last Friday, i saw the Not a Tinie Weenie Bambini. Angelina Jotdan at her first USA Headlining concert.... wished you were there!!! 19 VOCALS....
Her rendition of Unchained Melody, was OFF THE CHAIN, Treace inducing.!!!
Great reaction, God bless 😎
Peace, Love!!
Your on point. That's what I do to calm down after work. I just hummmmmmm, and calm down because anyone can him almost any song.
😂 at a "four-day" drive from Richmond to DC. America isn't quite THAT big. ☺ But I'm glad you caught the political play on words, some people miss that reference entirely.
As someone who was stationed in Germany, it was crazy how I could drive to almost any European country in less than a day, and it takes that long to drive across my STATE (Texas).
And by a day he means all the Fing day. When you cross over from Louisiana on I10 you see a sign that's like El Paso 863 miles. You just wanna go "F**k" at the top of your lungs. Back when the speed limit was 55mph it took more than a day. Now that it's 70 to 80 depending on where you are driving, it's still all damn day. Only you Aussies can really understand. Texans commute 70 - 100 miles each way to work without thinking about it. It's what you do for a good job.
One of the best reactions I've seen on this song!.
Excellent thankyou.👍
Here's my favorite TH-camr again! I missed you. Just don't forget to introduce yourself to the newcomers and tell them it's an analysis video. Love you.
I'm no professional, but I haven't felt that he's a musical savant. You've described some techniques that I guess I know nothing about, so I may be wrong. His appeal, at least to me, has little to do with musical, technical talent. He's really good, for an AVERAGE guy, which is part of why we relate to him. He's the best guy at karaoke, easily, but he's still not a show stopping talent. But he has so much passion in his music about a subject we agree with, that we can't help but love him.
Lolli !!! I can't believe I missed this reaction until today. Your reaction, as always, is fabulous, you are ever more enchanting with your style, knowledge , insights and humor. Love you Lolli ! I am thrilled that you discovered the truth about the "like yous and the never wills" so early in life, it will save you a lot of wasted effort and give you, as you said, the ability to spend time with those who get and appreciate you. Also love the very fashionable thin hair braids !!
That oracle card was great I laughed so hard I could relate to that so well, and your comment also, Your just fabulous. ❤❤❤🎉
You are powerful and real and we love you for it😊
Excellent reaction
Your “reaction” videos (aka examining a song from the perspective of a trained vocalist) are absolutely next-level. If we were to create a comparison of your skills at this we would unequivocally say they are at a Dimash level. Of course there are many very knowledgeable vocal pros doing something similar to what you do, but very few do it in such a captivating way that will leave non-vocalists (and non-musicians even) completely entranced and going away actually more knowledgeable about every aspect of a song and music in general. You have an absolute gift!
Excited for this reaction
***!!! ❤reaction really. Keep on with this. Brilliant singing there. Greetings from Gothenburg .
Im so glad you got it. Good job on this reaction.
Oh I love the term "plastic music!" I will be using that from now on!
I love the song but am absolutely memorized by you! You are drop dead gorgeous and love your voice and delivery! ❤🎉🥰😍😘
Have family in Farmville and this man is lighting the fire that will be needed to get the country back on track and able to assist the rest of the world in a meaningful way. We might close for a few months, then reopen under new management.
just close your eyes and you can feel his emotions and skill at his banjo
God bless you young lady!
This was the only react that was technical or even kind of clinical, here have a sub. Look forward to more.
Miss FVM I wanted to let you knowI used to evangelize in my younger years ,1 of the places Farmville Virginia , And it is farmville 40 miles north of nowhere, The people were so friendly and loving ,, very earthy Spectacular !NeverthelessVery very rural I always appreciate your commentary You are very knowledgeable Your analysis Of a song Is absolutely impeccable!

Thank you once again, my Fairy Voice Mommy, for the enlightenment of the nuances of the performance for a song that I have been listening to since it first came on the scene. As far as "fat shaming", I really do not think that was close to his intent... I believe (especially since hearing several interviews with him) that he was railing against the "system" that has entrapped people to fall into a habit of eating poorly and continuing to gain weight due to everything being given to you without having to work for it (the US welfare system policies result in this). I think that this song and it's performance hits to the heart and soul of many hard working people in the US and we can align with the sentiment espoused therein. Thank you for bringing this and I encourage you to check out more form this artist.
Welfare shaming is as bad as fat shaming. Welfare is not generous and certainly not the cause of people being fat, well not in the way that you are suggesting.
Poor people have weight problems because the corporatisation of food means that fresh and healthy foods are ridiculously expensive while fast food is not. Fresh and healthy food is also less easily accessible.
It's playing into the hands of those causing all these problems and profiting from them to ignore their role and simply blame the most vulnerable for the problems of others who feel vulnerable.
And until people start punching up rather than down, nothing will change.
People on welfare are not the enemy of working people, the billionaires and corporates pushing for profit over everything else are the enemy of both.
He is remarkable. I love that he is uniting the people while at the same time exposing those in control.
This guy has massive Tim Barry feel. That passionate heartfelt folk sound is some Tim is a master at.
Hi
I love your reactions, your explanation of singing from anatomical and muscular perspective. You’ve got a great voice too!!
Listen Oliver Anthony song Virginia. It’s beautiful.
Steely Dan, one of my Favorites. Reeling in the years.
Thanks!
Thank you for your reaction to Oliver Anthony. song love his song I.
Love independent artists that are not afraid to speak to truth. I realize you're from Great Britain and you don't understand all of politics in this country just as I don't understand the politics of your country?
But you can still relate to the song and you can still have a great reaction. Thank you keep up the good work.
By the way I love the red hair?
I do the drive from Richmond to DC every week. It's anywhere between 2 and 6 hours depending on traffic. 😉
Absolutely enjoyed really really enjoyed it your reaction to this video and you do get it. You really do get it and it was awesome.
Voice Mother Voice Mother on wall you are the Fairest Fairy of them all. 🕊---------🥥
I THINK part of why this song resonates is that both "sides" think he's talking mostly about the other "side." And he's talking about them BOTH.
About time you got to this song! 😁
That's traditional folk style music from the Appalachian Mountains region of the U.S. Music that you would mainly hear being played on the front porch, back porch, around a backyard fire while passin round a jar of home made moonshine or in a bar of those small villages while amongst family and close friends
What a lovely girl! ❤from🇸🇪
I have never heard anyone dissect lyrics and vocal keys to this detail, BUT, I hear you and have learned something. I think you are overlooking the message here.
Keep it up you have much beauty in how you carry yourself. You are also gorgeous and that voice 😮
Great analysis and insights, thank you
Hey, glad you popped up on the thing.... love your hair..
Well, FVM, this is certainly not the usual type of performance reviewed by you, that's for sure. I am American, and he is a hero for the people here because, like other people all over the world, we are being taxed to death for ridiculous spending that makes little or no sense. As for his weight lyric, we know that some tax money must be spent on necessary food to help citizens survive. However, Fudge Rounds are a candy that is neither a necessity nor nutritious. Some of the folks on welfare here are not concerned with managing their weight nor staying healthy. Some would eat free candy until they explode, figuratively. We don't think our tax money should be spent for this purpose when other folks don't get enough healthy food that they desperately need. It's a criticism of the government welfare program, not of the recipients themselves.
I've been following you for quite a while now. This, by far, was your BEST reaction! All of your points were well given! It's also the anguish he gives as well. Thank you!
Brilliant
Love seeing young people understanding this fantastic story!!!
5:30 in and learning new things... woohoo! Thank you for all you do!
Entertaining! Thank you!
His song comes in waves. Like the ocean. If you sit on the shore and watch carefully you'll see that the waves come in sets ( usually sets of 7 or 11) the first being the largest and the last the smallest. Life is like the ovean it comes in sets. If you fight it, it will drag you down. So go with the flow.
I've listened to many reviews of this song and artist. For me, this one is by far the best. Thank you so much!
