- This man broke me with this one. I could not restrain my emotion, my apologies. His lyrics describe perfectly the feelings and emotions that go with addiction. It is a cyclical pain that has us question our very existence. Several family members and I have struggled... I'll save those details for another time. Stay here with us Oliver. Incredible voice and performance once again.
My fellow people out there, if you are feeling alone, I am here. Come by anytime and I will be here to listen.

Oliver Anthony has such a pure heart❣️🙏 I feel blessed to hear his music! I've been sober since 2020 with God's help and this song makes me cry even the 100th time I hear it.
You did manage to make me burst out laughing through my tears though, which was unexpected to say the least! 😊
Wow, nice to see your name in my comments again! I'm so glad you have been able to stay sober and I, as well as others, are always here to keep that support rolling. Genuine people must stick together. I'm so glad I made you laugh! Sending love once again.
Don't regret doing a live reaction. His soul, his rawness, his heart, his pain and his sorrow, hits all of us straight to our soul. Raw reactions are just a reflection of what's already inside of us that he's able to reach. . This is why all of his songs are going viral. He suffers/suffered with mental health issues and depression and that's where the songs came from. We are meant to feel it. He said he doesn't want a music career, he wants a music ministry.❤️

Thank you, Angela. Heard! I'll keep it live and real and raw. Thank you and sending love to you and yours. @@angeladlake8720

Just a man and his guitar - IS BLOWING THE WORLD UP WITH TRUTH AND HONESTY WTF!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Both parents were substance abusers and alcoholics my entire life. Now as an adult my brother is an addict, our family is fractured. Both my older sister and brother are very selfish and unfunctonal adults and I am the only one that seemed to move forward. I am happily married to a good man and have 3 kids but I would be lying to say I didn't hide deep scars and pain to this day inside. You are not alone to be brought to tears with songs like this. I hope you find peace. Even with a loving new family I still hide my pain.
The good LORD has touched this man! GOD BLESS ALL HERE!!!!!!
So here's the thing. Not even sure of your going to see our read this but I am a 57 yo female from Australia and this has to be the best reaction that I've seen to this song. I am a devout Christian and hate swearing but I can't help but watching your honest and vulnerable reaction. I've watched it quite a few times. I pray that your past be the strength you find for the future. My story is a bit different. My mum was addicted to valium because of ptsd but despite that it was a terrible time growing up. It messes with your mind and prevents emotional intelligence. I pray that people like us find solace in this song. God bless you abundantly.
AN AMERICAN ICON IS BORN!
Only difference this time is he didn’t sell his soul. ❤
Yes I still have to watch the video where he talks about being offered millions.
Damn right he didn't sell his soul. He sings his soul. And its a powerful one.
How much balls does it take to admit your shortcomings in a song taped on your iphone and throw it out on the net for the world to see . God bless this man for showing us how to learn compassion again ! Feel every note on everyone of his songs
Authentic human spirit. I love it.
He has a huge heart.
Thank you for your HONEST response to the power of this music! He is literally changing the world with his heart on his sleeve! God Bless you for being able to recognize it!
I don't think a singer has affected me like he does..I love him and his message..I truly believe God is sending us all the messages thru Oliver ❤❤❤
23 years sober here, and it’s a very hard thing to do! Even in sobriety it’s hard! It’s mostly one moment at a time, and letting go and letting God. 🙏🏻
Saw this comment on another reaction and thought it was captured perfectly:

One thing I've been noticing is that Oliver Anthony is making grown men cry, more than a lot of other sad songs people react to. And the reason why, I believe, is because here is this man. This God fearing, manly man, honest and true, expressing himself as a man. There is nothing weak about it. He touches men's nerves from one man to another man, without any elements of weakness or inferiority or even femininity. He's allowing men to feel understood and allowing then to express themselves. Idk if that makes sense
Your reaction is from your heart. I believe you!
He suffered addiction and gave his heart to god!Said if god would help him he would help people through his music!Hes truly a god sent
Love your reaction to this beautiful hymn. God bless you
Both of my parents suffered from addiction most of my life. Unfortunately, my brother followed in their footsteps and for 25 years, he was an addict. I have been raising his son for 4 years along with my boys. Addiction hurts so many people and you're right, they know better, they want better but it is so hard. God bless you and your family 🙏
Thank you for being a loving caretaker to those boys. Yours and his alike. I appreciate your kind words. Sending love to you and your family as well.
Damn, this was a tough one. I come from a family with a majority of addicts. This is so honest and raw. Hurts.
Same. It is a tough world. I'm glad you came across my reaction. Here anytime. Looking forward to seeing you in my comment section. Sending love.
Yes. 😢
Special
Honesty. That perfectly sums it up. How profoundly honest do you have to be to open yourself up like that, to the world and to yourself? This kind of stuff only happens in genuine art. Like you said, may he keep on waking up when the sun comes back around.
Absolutely. Definitely rooting for him and all of us. Sending love to you.
Love you brother. You have soul
Well Michael the love is mutual. Thank you for letting me know. You made me smile with this one. Thank you, Sir. I will always put my soul and ethics first. I wish you a wonderful evening and sending love to you and yours.
"ohp, yup! Just an amazing fucking poem that will send you to therapy" -- THAT was funny! Great juxtaposition and gallows humor. It's the best song I've ever heard about addiction.
Thank you Annie! I felt this one a little too much maybe. But yes, it is the best song I've ever heard about addiction. Dead on.
Ive watched many people listening and reacting to this song. But never felt what i did this time. I want to come and give you a hug while your watching this. May God reach you to heal your heart from your childhood. Hugs and kisses
I love your honesty of your review
Oaky Cassius, honey - I have problems with alcohol too - and hurt my sons! Forgive your mama! This song digs so deep! Peace and love. baby!
Dark, raw, brutal, beautiful honesty…😢 This is my favorite of his. So damn good!
It is soooo raw and real. Absolutely. Lead with love brother.
I love watching people enjoying OA's music. Thanks for doing this! Keep up your great work! 🙂❤
2:00 "God, I frickin' love this guy!" Me, too, Brother!
U are being real man … that’s why am here today
The love is mutual Cynthia. Thank you again ❤.
I love you my brother.
I know I’m almost year late to these reaction videos but man, yours hit hard. Ive been there man. Anthony describes it perfectly. He’s obviously been through it. So have I. Always a tomorrow problem. I made it a today problem by asking for help. I hope you have too and are doing okay.
Hi Johnny. I took a break from posting but your comment caught my attention. I'm so glad you found help. I'm doing very well and I hope you are to. Hope to see you in my comments again soon. Lead with love.
Lots of us have been there! It’s how you preserve!
Appreciate your genuine reactions brother.
Wow my brother. Thank you sincerely for this. I will be reacting to that remix you mentioned today! Thanks again for the recommendation.
Pain brings tears, no worries. ❤️🔥
Hey Cassius, dear -- do not apologize for becoming emotional -- addiction in this country (and the whole world) consume so many people and with the way things are going in this country are not helping anyone. Love and God Bless! ❤
I appreciate you taking the moment to say this to me. Genuinely means a lot as I'm being very honest in this reaction. Addiction is... well it hurts. Sending love to you and yours.
All my love@@CassiusAchilles
"It won't happen tonight" has double meaning.
The most common meaning is obviously putting it off tomorrow.
The second meaning is... Change doesn't happen over night.
Whatever your struggle, your crutch, your vice....for the vast majority of people, you can't just turn it off.
And when we fall back on it, we are so crushed by failing we may as well go all in, so...pour it on strong, till I drown.
And if I survive....I will regret I did it.
Thank you for your honesty.
That was the sweetest f you, love you I've heard. Sending love out to everyone dealing with addictions or their fallout. Mr. Anthony is definitely the poet we need.
Wow thank you. And yes... i meant it sweetly. He hit me in the chest with this one. Sending love to you Emily.
So much respect for this reaction
Thank you, Eric. It really got to me, and I debated posting it... but I figured my genuine emotion might help someone out there. I appreciate your comment sincerely. Lead with love brother.
Listening to the song and your response took me back. His appeal to get sober is so universal - how many of us are caught in destructive thoughts or habits we would give anything to have lifted? It's a meditation on empathy for addiction of every kind
Your reaction videos go as deep as the poetry of Oliver Anthony. I feel deep resonance.
After 23 years of being sober and 9 years of depression and almost 2 years of cancer, I am finally grateful for this hard impact.
Who has walked through endless darkness and nevertheless managed to overcome himself to come back to the light, understands the world with different eyes. The ultimate freedom that one has attained after leaving this dark valley of tears behind, cannot be described in words.
In this context, I also suspect that it must have been quite easy for Oliver Anthony to turn down the $8,000,000 contract.
Many greetings from Germany
Im from virginia i cry with every song. Gift from God❤❤❤❤
Virginia sounds like a lucky place to have you both! Keep keepin' it real brother.
Great reaction. Praying for you. Love your genuine reaction
❤ This reaction is why I subscribed to you. Honesty, vulnerability, and swearing 😂 Im in!!!!!
Profound
Prayers for you and your broken 💔 . Prayers for all the addicted
Thank you, thank you. Your words have not gone unnoticed. Lead with love.
I guess I have probably watched this video a 100 times . I have closely watched your reaction , and I feel like maybe this man is speaking your life . I hope you can solve your problems you are in my prayers.
Good Morning Nita. Thank you for watching so closely and with compassion and care. Yes... I've had many losses in life and substance abuse has had a big impact on my family and to a lesser degree myself, although I do downplay it... You have caught the truth in my eyes and I thank you for speaking up. I appreciate your positivity and your prayers. I hope you are doing well and I'm sending love back to you and your family. Thank you again for being real, this comment made my morning. Lead with love. -Cassius
@CassiusAchilles What Oliver Sings today to our world It's so deep . he is a very deep thinker he sings what we need to hear Life is hard. But it is how we learn . the older we get, the more we understand what really means the most in life , and that is our song. At judgment, the song that we write will be before us. I totally understand what you are going Through .I am older and have been through it personally. It took me a long time to get through it.
"Why does God allow pain and misery?" How much pain did this man have to go through to pour it into his music and touch us all?
There is a great concept about that question. Someone once said, "I asked god why he allows such pain, misery, and hunger in the world. And he replied, why do you? It really makes us think. Sending love.
If he didn't have his past. This wouldn't be the same amazing man and soulful singer
This is my favorite one too. As a recovering addict this hits home. God moves in mysterious ways and we cant understand his intentions. God has said ne would not place a burden on our shoulder greater than our ability to bear. I know first hand that if that burden does become to great he will take it from us. In 2001 i was using everything VERY heavily. One night of heavy drinking i decided to end it. I locked the doors, closed the curtains, tirned out the lights. I kneeld down in the middle of the living room and put a .357 mag pistol in my mouth. Cocked the hammer and was squeezing the trigger when God placed his hand on my shoulder and showed me what would become of my children if I did this. I took the pistol out of my mouth and curled up in the fetal position and cried until the sun came up. I took the pills and booze and poired them out and have been sober since. That was February of 2001
Love brother❤❤❤❤❤
"Just another thing to fuck ya up and send you to therapy." Liked and subscribed right there.
Brings tears to the 👀
I couldn't hold back. Off camera I was a mess... Sending love!
Honest reaction. You have a new follower.
Much appreciated. I welcome you with a big hug. Appreciate you. ❤
This man is a WAKE up call for everyone.. 💗
im 2 weeks late but alot of people had trouble with this one so dont feel weird. i think we all love oliver beacuse its real so once again you good.
This is heavy brother... extremely heavy 😔
Yea I gave in to the weight for a moment there brother. Enjoy your Sunday.
Hail, Cassius, bless you for working at your life. Your song, that you write will be sweet too.
I have faith in you just by your empathy while commenting on this song.
His best song is 90 Something Chevy!
I love you from Richmond va
You should do your thing live and uncut, like Oliver Anthony music!
Thank you, Caleb. I will! I added my twitch link to the about section here on TH-cam. I'm trying to do many reactions live on twitch, feel free to come by. Still considering going live here on TH-cam.
This song is a masterpiece. Beautifully written with a powerful message. It was just perfect with the cicadas in the background.
He produced this video for zero dollars. He did it on his cell phone. It's probably the only song on the Billboard chart history that was produced for nothing.
Very likely. And I LOVE that so much.
sub'd for that because it was so real what you said "in a world full of filters & swipes this man is honest" ... "F you & I love you oliver anthony" 😂
Having issues myself this is a tough one to watch.
This is from 11 months ago before he got sober.
Yes, I noticed that which is why it got me so emotional. I knew he meant every word. So painful yet so meaningful. Thank you for your comment!
Thank god! Subscribe for your reaction to the "ain't gonna happen tonight, so pour em down strong". As a recovering addict just barley 6 months clean that shit tore my soul apart... The best day to quit is always tomorrow...
Sorry that resonated so painfully with your own story but I feel his honest poetry is cathartic. He’s bringing so many people together over so many relatable topics. Love your authentic response but hope you weren’t feeing too laid bare by it. ❤
I know your feeling. Kinda sucks. I’ve been there. My mom. Very tough.
🫶🏻🫶🏻🫶🏻👍👍👏👏😇😇
If you dont cry when you hear this, you need to see a doctor
most sing for money fame and little gold statues Oliver sings for humanity
He puts the BAR in bard
