That black dress gives the feeling of mourning, almost like you’re mourning The American Dream, what it used to mean. Also that last line “Slave to the system, but at least we’re free.” Spoke volumes.
Perfectly encapsulates the way life feels and is for many of us. An eloquent way to say the American dream is something you have to be asleep to notice.
My grandfather fought in WWII, he came home. My dad (his son) served in the Marines. My grandfather on my mom’s side served in the Army. This song hits home for so many people.
This is a beautiful song. These lyrics are so spot on. Rest their souls, the ones who paid the ultimate price so our country could be where it is today. The people of our country need help. We shouldn't be so divided and against each other. We all need God.
I’m 50 years old and the AMERICAN DREAM was a real thing. We started working when we were 16 or before and we saved to by our 1st used car and went from there. I hate what they’ve done to this country. Our FREEDOM is just an ILLUSION at this point. Breaks my heart.❤️🩹
Thank you for your service, and Amen. You fought for our right to take this country back. We the people can be in charge again. Songs like this bring me hope. More and more people are starting to see it
This song is the new anthem.. because THIS is what we're living 💔 please keep making these types of songs, the music industry has such a strong impact on things... maybe this is the beginning of a change 🙏🏻
Just found you!! You have a huge fan here and follower...you are going to make it...one of the most raw and trues songs i have heard in a long time..hope to see you in concert one day!
Saw another Instagram reel and I feel this wholeheartedly. Have a full line of family in the military. My father was in the Korean War, he passed right before the whole Russia/Ukraine fiasco. He was already starting to shake his head. Curious, my grandfather was also in WW2 but we are both pretty young. Most people our age have greats that served in WW2.
Being a Veteran, this hit a little too close to home for me. I'm supposed to turn 58 on Monday, and I'm not sure, if I really want to. Good song though.
This brought tears to my eyes. My dad was in WW11...family members in Vietnam etc etc...and they fought for our freedom, with the way Biden Obama and that administration in running our country,I'm afraid for my childre and grandchildren 😢😢 we are loosing our American U S A rites ! Beautiful voice ❣️❣️ I'll be sharing this with all my siblings. GOD bless you beautiful lady 🙏
Meu avô morreu na segunda guerra mundial Pensei que ele sabia pelo que estava lutando Se ele pudesse ver o que resultou do preço que pagou Aposto que ele rolaria em seu túmulo sem identificação Estou trabalhando quarenta horas por semana e não consigo sobreviver Eu quero viver, mas estou tentando sobreviver Onde está a vida, a liberdade e a felicidade Quando você enterra meu corpo debaixo de um metro e oitenta de dívida Deixe o mundo girar em seu eixo Eu cansei de me esforçar se Cada dólar que ganho é um dólar que devo a uma máquina velha e gananciosa. Eles estão contando meu dinheiro enquanto eu conto ovelhas Acho que é hora de acordar do sonho americano O centro da cidade está queimando, você pode assistir ao vivo Outro tiroteio no shopping na noite de terça-feira Como a vida cotidiana se tornou tão cruel Tenho que me perguntar em que diabos estamos nos transformando Estamos apenas orando para que as crianças voltem da escola Deixe o mundo girar em seu eixo Eu cansei de me esforçar se Cada dólar que ganho é um dólar que devo a uma máquina velha e gananciosa. Eles estão contando meu dinheiro enquanto eu conto ovelhas Acho que é hora de acordar do sonho americano Deixe o mundo girar em seu eixo Eu cansei de me esforçar se Cada dólar que ganho é um dólar que devo a uma máquina velha e gananciosa. Eles estão contando meu dinheiro enquanto eu conto ovelhas Acho que é hora de acordar do sonho americano Escravo do sistema, mas pelo menos somos livres Acho que é hora de acordar do sonho americano Acho que é hora de acordar do sonho americano.👏👏🇧🇷🇧🇷🇧🇷🇧🇷🇧🇷🇧🇷🇧🇷
Thank you for putting in words how WE ALL are feeling!

I agree, the American Dream we were told about is no longer in reach. No election nor 'promises' will ever make it live again
That's exactly what she's doing we are all mourning the American dream or the so-called American dream
Perfectly encapsulates the way life feels and is for many of us. An eloquent way to say the American dream is something you have to be asleep to notice.
My grandfather fought in WWII, he came home. My dad (his son) served in the Marines. My grandfather on my mom’s side served in the Army. This song hits home for so many people.
My dad was a WW II veteran. He'd be spinning in his marked grave right now.
Good looks, Great Vocals. Lyrics are so fitting.... Thank You.
“Burry me under 6 feet of debt” that line hit hard.
This is a beautiful song. These lyrics are so spot on. Rest their souls, the ones who paid the ultimate price so our country could be where it is today. The people of our country need help. We shouldn't be so divided and against each other. We all need God.
I'm so glad youtube randomly sent me here. Powerful
It's painful just how true this song is 😞
it's changing.. There is hope in the air... sing and dance and bring this vibration up!!!!
Wow, I stumbled onto this song, and it speaks perfectly to where this world is. Thank you Mandi, great song. Beautiful voice.
Amazing song, puts todays experience into song. God Bless you.
New favorite country song. ❤
I hope people hear this non stop on the Fourth of July.
This is incredible & all so true. Thank you for sharing your amazing gift with the world.
Voice of an angel, beauty of of a model, and lyrics of the sad death of the american dream... if it ever really existed!
I’m 50 years old and the AMERICAN DREAM was a real thing. We started working when we were 16 or before and we saved to by our 1st used car and went from there. I hate what they’ve done to this country. Our FREEDOM is just an ILLUSION at this point. Breaks my heart.❤️🩹
This is the song that we need to go Viral in America right now. This isn’t what I fought for either 💔
Thank you for your service, and Amen. You fought for our right to take this country back. We the people can be in charge again. Songs like this bring me hope. More and more people are starting to see it

Being a Veteran, this hit a little too close to home for me. I'm supposed to turn 58 on Monday, and I'm not sure, if I really want to. Good song though.

As a fellow veteran I understand but we've survived worse
We want you tooo turn 59 too please know ur loved
I am also a Veteran so I totally understand how you feel, however the world would be a sad without you in it!!!!

To the future and whoever sees this. I wish better days 💔💞
Is this a high school project? Friggin awesome
What a great song, message, and messenger. Mandi has a unique look and voice. She deserves a better video!
I was thinking the same

Damn. 😢🇺🇸
This is that real American shit right here salute 🫡
Just received this song from a true princess , makes me wonder what I’m willing to die for in this life .
Meu avô morreu na segunda guerra mundial
Pensei que ele sabia pelo que estava lutando
Se ele pudesse ver o que resultou do preço que pagou
Aposto que ele rolaria em seu túmulo sem identificação
Estou trabalhando quarenta horas por semana e não consigo sobreviver
Eu quero viver, mas estou tentando sobreviver
Onde está a vida, a liberdade e a felicidade
Quando você enterra meu corpo debaixo de um metro e oitenta de dívida
Deixe o mundo girar em seu eixo
Eu cansei de me esforçar se
Cada dólar que ganho é um dólar que devo a uma máquina velha e gananciosa.
Eles estão contando meu dinheiro enquanto eu conto ovelhas
Acho que é hora de acordar do sonho americano
O centro da cidade está queimando, você pode assistir ao vivo
Outro tiroteio no shopping na noite de terça-feira
Como a vida cotidiana se tornou tão cruel
Tenho que me perguntar em que diabos estamos nos transformando Estamos apenas orando para que as crianças voltem da escola
Deixe o mundo girar em seu eixo
Eu cansei de me esforçar se
Cada dólar que ganho é um dólar que devo a uma máquina velha e gananciosa.
Eles estão contando meu dinheiro enquanto eu conto ovelhas
Acho que é hora de acordar do sonho americano
Deixe o mundo girar em seu eixo
Eu cansei de me esforçar se
Cada dólar que ganho é um dólar que devo a uma máquina velha e gananciosa.
Eles estão contando meu dinheiro enquanto eu conto ovelhas
Acho que é hora de acordar do sonho americano
Escravo do sistema, mas pelo menos somos livres
Acho que é hora de acordar do sonho americano
Acho que é hora de acordar do sonho americano.👏👏🇧🇷🇧🇷🇧🇷🇧🇷🇧🇷🇧🇷🇧🇷
So sad but 💯 true
