Yes, agreed! Tho I'd seen/heard Travis's song last year, sometime long after you originally posted & reacted to it, it's an equal, yet different type of 'deep soul' song as what Oliver Anthony performed here. Very appropriate to pin it on this thread, as it takes nothing away from Oliver's awesome song.
Hey bro, love your videos, do you think you could do a reaction/ lesson on George straits “the best day” specifically if possible “live from the astrodome” I cannot seem to figure it out. Thanks bro!
Wow. Who knew Michael was a part of the Joe Rogan, Matt Walsh dip s*it crew. So disappointing. How do you highlight great musicians/songwriters like Jason Isbell, Derek Trucks, and Tyler Childers and then sit there with a straight face and act like this guy is some great talent? Last I checked Isbell and Childers weren't singing songs about conspiracy theories and tearing down social programs like welfare. Wearing the Isbell/Prine "What've I Done To Help" shirt is the cherry on top. That shirt runs completely contrary to everything this guy and the right wing nuts are trying to sell. Or did you not actually listen to the lyrics of that song? Come on, Michael. Be better.
Wait where has he been playing? Ive listened to most of his songs, it kinda sounded like he was coming around Baltimore how u said it. If not he needs to come play. I wrote this at the begining so i didnt hear you say you share our disease, addictions. You're doing it man. Idk how you've been able to keep up a channel and teaching and a family, but phew. Going throuh actual physical withdrawal, can only understand it one way.
This guy literally just crawled out of the woods with a guitar in his hand and just gave the entire world a shot of courage using nothing but a few strings and a powerful voice.
❤he didn't even have a channel at the time. Correct. He's American making us all want to be American and proud to be who we are. New sub. Totally can learn music from you. Thank you. I bought my 9 yr old grandaughter a guitar for Christmas. I'd love for her to learn from you. If she doesn't I will. It must be in the blood. An uncle and a cousin plays bass guitar. One in Albuquerque one plays for Trans Siberian Orchestra during Christmas season. I'm so happy I found your channel. I love your delivery. Please keep going forward. ❤
I was there yesterday at his performance at Morris Farm market. I was born and raised in that town, and that farm market was my first job I ever had. I’ve never felt anything like that in my town or in any musical performance I’ve ever experienced. It was more like a battle cry. People were there because they felt something in his lyrics and the way he expressed them. It was also awesome that Jamie Johnson hopped on stage and sang , seen it in color with him!
This wasn't a Reacts video, it was therapy session for the masses! I just passed nine years alcohol free. For me it happened in a moment at 33,000 feet in a airplane bathroom. I was half lit and as I looked in the mirror something came over me. I said out loud "I'm done" and I walked backed to my seat. I threw my fresh drink away the flight attendant had just put on my tray table and that was it. I walked off that plane and have never had the desire to drink again. God healed me of my alcohol problem it that moment. He can heal any of you of whatever ails you. Open your heart and let him in.
I've been there too. For so many years I was a drunk and dope head. Many times when I was drunk and puking my guts out I would promise GOD " help me get over this one and I won't do it again" lying to HIM and myself and the next weekend do it all over again. A little over 18 years ago it got to where I could just start drinking a beer , not even half a beer, and I would get so sick with my stomach churning and lit headed feeling like I was gonna pass out. At first I thought it was just my body telling me it had had enough, then I got to thinking how many times I promised GOD I wouldn't do it any more, so I said ok LORD , if that's how it's gonna be then so be it and I've not taken another drink of alcohol since. And it didn't bother me at all. JESUS took away my desire for it and I just didn't want it any more matter of fact, if I'm even around anyone else drinking, just the smell of it makes me sick. I 'm so thankful for it and have to give all the credit and glory to JESUS for taking away my desire for it. I didn't quit my drinking, HE quit my drinking .
First: MASSIVE congrats to you. I had two alcoholics in my family so I KNOW what a mountain you climbed! Second: thank you for showing us it's possible! I'm not an alcoholic, but I have my own struggles, and it's inspiring. Thank you
That's amazing. Unfortunately for me, it is in my blood and I was more miserable sober than as a drunk. I took a miserable three years off and now am just incredibly regimented with drinking. Six pack max and only on special occasions. Still wish I had it in me to do what you did.
Ive been sober for 14 yrs. Completely sober. No drink, no weed, no prescriptions from the dr...not even a Tylenol. And after all those years this song still brings me to tears from the very beginning.
@@joshuarotger6203 thanks man. It was a tough road but the alternatives are worse IMO. One thing i can say is it makes life better, may not make it any easier
Day 15 sober. Had the first shot offered to me since I made the choice. I refused it firmly. That shot I didn't take was so much better than the thousands I've taken over the years. Stay strong friends. IT IS WORTH IT.
Keep it going brother. It only gets easier as time goes by. Those choices become easy after a while. The people you need to be around won’t offer you a shot. If they do then you should think about how good of a friend they are. 6 years sober. Not trying to preach but good luck on your journey and god bless
Good for you, I am so happy and proud of you!!! Never stop trying to make yourself better. My dad was an alcoholic and died when I was 5 years old. Hang in there!!! YOU GOT THIS!
I've been suffering with alcoholism lately and I did something terribly yesterday and relapsed on drugs and hurt my entire family. God let me to this video because your words resonated with me. I've got to stop saying I'll get sober tomorrow and just start. Right now. I'm going to get down on my knees and cry out to God because I know he can save me. He's the only one that can'❤ Oliver Anthony is a breath of fresh air for all of us
Just keep putting your best foot forward one step at a time and eventually that bright light at the end of that tunnel of struggle will be so bright the darkness won't have any room to show it's ugly face. Be the best version of you that you know how to be and everything else will fall in place. You have the strength in you and you owe it to yourself and your family to to keep that strength to keep saying no. Sometimes you have to let friends go and that's okay you don't need those friends. Good bless and remember you can do it
God removed my obsession with Alcohol . I am grateful that He put Bill W, AA, and Celebrate Recovery into my life. I have been sober nearly 7 years. I am sorry to hear about your suffering and will pray that God responds to your prayer. My story is not unique. Johnny G told me how he came to one morning and could not get back on the couch, so like you, he knelt and prayed that God take away his desire. He showed me a new way of living --that included a lot of AA meetings and asked me to put in the work. While I dont think he originated this quote, I will never forget it. “Yesterday is history, tomorrow is a mystery, but I am sober today, living one day at time.”
I was at this show and I have to say that this was so much a moving moment. It was a free show with easily 3-4k people that showed up. Everyone singing along was a bone chilling experience
One of the best pieces of advice I was ever given was from my father. When saying that I was just going to drink wine one year, my father said “Abstinence is easier than moderation.” I didn’t realize how true it was until I quit. 5+ years sober. God bless you all who have done it and who are working toward it.
I saw my wife struggle with alcohol addiction for years. She’s been sober for ten years now and doing great! This song and your comments brought me back as a witness to that struggle. Keep strong and trust in God.
This guys lyrics and storytelling is simply off the charts. He goes places you don't expect and he does it so simply. He's something very special. Glad he's here for all of us.
Been sober since 2016 from “hard” substances. Spent the better part of a decade struggling and in a dark hole, every day digging deeper and deeper. Getting sober seemed so scary and unobtainable at the time. Looking back it was easy, at least, compared to living the hell that I was living. I make the choice every day to be sober and pray to GOD for strength and guidance. GOD is amazing 🙏
Everything this guy writes is poetry. Actual emotion filled ballads. I love it so much. On the politics thing. Oliver Anthony says, it's not about Red or Blue. It's about me and you. ALL of us. 🇺🇸
You can say that, but it certainly is. Maybe it’s not about the political parties, but trust me, the left hates this guy and what he’s saying. Rolling stone already shit on him.
"Well, God, if you're 5-foot-3 and you're 300 pounds Taxes ought not to pay for your bags of fudge rounds" this guy writes poetry like a toddler uses a crayon
@@shartattack12 we all know that the welfare system needs to be reformed. Way too many people are gaming the system while we have actual starving people in America that aren't getting government assistance. We have a responsibility to help when we can and to not take more from each other than we need. That's all he was saying. I think it's beautiful.
Let the fire burn brighter till you become one with the fire. Then you realize that the fire was always inside you. And you realize your potential. You see the humanity in yourself and every one around you.
If I could give this one hundred thumbs up I would. Not only for the song, but for Michael’s perspective on life. Wow, thank you. So many of us need this.
This song helped me kick my addiction. I had this "just not tonight" mentality for years. I listened to this on repeat for about an hour. Something clicked in my mind, and that's where the problem was. I need to start praying again now.
Man! Took one stuper in front of my 3 kids to take me straight. The embarrassment and shame of having my children see me like that was more than I could handle. Lucky for me I could still be shamed into changing as many can't. I haven't done it since and that was 10 years ago. I pray for this man. The machine "North of Richmond" won't let this go. They're coming for him and he needs to stay true and strong.
Rolling Stone already wrote a disgusting attack piece on him, they were most upset about his veiled reference to Epstein Island, makes you wonder why they are so triggered by that one little reference, his response was to read Psalm 37 12-20 as a response to their attack at his concert opening.
@@theotherorange3586 It’s even harder when you either can’t or just refuse to. What happened to me needed to happen before my eyes were closed for good. I thank God for making me realize what I was back then and rely on him to stay strong moving forward.
I quit playing music 13 years ago to get sober. I started back writing up at the beginning of this year. If I can stop drinking believe me anyone can do it. I was a mess from dawn till way past midnight every day until I got set free. Thanks for taking on this song with all of us out here.
Music and drinking began to go hand in hand for me. To sit down and write, a drink was needed. To get up in the morning, a drink was needed. To do anything, a drink was needed and I realized I had been using, putting on shows and driving g on and on making music to escape all the stuff from my past. So I walked away from it to finally deal with my ghosts or demons or whatever one likes to call it.
I’m 29 years sober. I’ve sponsored many women and watched people over all these years who wouldn’t connect to the we in AA suffer. This is something you cannot do alone. Love this song. I’m going to pray for you two guys. My son just joined AA he is 39 he was 10 when I got sober.
Oliver needs to do a Singer/Songwriter special. Play a song and tell us some of his story in person. I'm so happy for him and praying that he comes through this okay. Lightning doesn't strike often.
@@deanfirnatine7814he’s not the best singer songwriter or guitarist your going to find but that doesn’t make him bad music used to be story and emotion with labels now it’s fake bs and sex the reason he comes of as great to people is also because his singing and guitar also aren’t polished or autotuned what makes him great is the authenticity he’s not the fake plastic Barbie musician most people are used to today unfortunately country music has long been infected by fake Hollywood pop crap I want back instrumentals that drive emotions not just catchy beats I want songs that tell real story and drive emotions and feelings not wap or mumble bs I want people who use auto tune to be outcasts again it takes so much depth and soulfulness away from what songs should be
To me, that "if" in the line "if I wake up tomorrow" is very powerful and easy to overlook. He's in such a rough spot with little hope that he doesn't even know IF he'll wake up tomorrow.
My brother used to drink in order NOT to wake up tomorrow. My mother in the end never did. It's such a key word, packs so much power in just two letters.
We, (I) know Oliver(not his real name) he is a good friend of ours. He is a great young man, He has been playing for quiet awhile. He is truly a good young man. You are getting know him through his music. As I am getting to know you through this channel. My prayers are with you. May God bless you! Thank you for such nice reviews.
I hope he stays grounded. Most humans can be purchased for several million $ and then the authenticity is gone. But you can tell he's a great young man.
@@GmaticLeon You would be proud to know him. I am going to do my best to help him get started well. I love him like a son. Thank you and God bless you!
Found your channel when you reacted to Rich Man. Love your content my friend. You are truly just a wildly likable individual, wish you all the success in the world.
Your reaction to Rich Men led me to Travis Meadows Sideways which helped me address some significant regrets I’ve had with raising my son. Your comment about forgiveness sounds like my AA talk I’ve been giving for the last 30 yrs of sobriety. Thank God I’ve been playing the guitar since 12 and found a massive outlet in music and faith. You are authentic, passionate and I pray you keep touching people like you did me. Peace out my friend
Touching song. I have a loved one that was saved by the Lord Jesus Christ and is living a life sober. *moved to tears. May the Lord Bless both these gentlemen as they draw closer to God. Amen.
Ain't got a dollar, and doggonit are also great songs by him. He sings from the base of his soul. Every lyric is rooted in painful reality. He blows me away!
The cicadas in the background just add to the whole feel of the song. Maybe because you know it's real and not something done in post. That sums up the instant popularity of this young musician, imho, the authenticity. The bugs singing in the background are a real as the suffering he sings about. If you know, you know.
I’m not a musician so I can’t explain the mechanics all I know is that this man means what he sings, he feels it and it resonates with everyone who hears his words. I don’t know him but I feel a fondness for him somehow and I really want him to succeed. He gives us all hope, however bad your life may feel, it can change for the better in an instance so I guess the moral of the story is, hang in there as you never know what’s around the corner.
Great analysis! That "not today" line hit me like a gut punch. Olivers' songs evoke strong emotions every time I listen. I really look forward to following his career.
god doesn't do anything. he's doing it on his own. you overly religious people need to stop giving credit to some imaginary thing when i'ts YOU that did the work. YOU put in the effort. You went through the struggle. you deserve all the credit. not some flying spagetti monster, not god, not budda or any other "higher power"
I never drank much around my kids, but their mother does.. I went sober 5 years ago after divorce, to show my kids you can live sober.. I also started playing drums and guitar then. I play drums in a punk band, and am writing songs on guitar.. ❤ this video…
Bro, you just knocked me back when you admitted your personal situation so nakedly. I knew what I was getting into with this song, but your reaction raised this to an intimate revelation. Thank you.
I’ve been listening to Oliver all week and loving everything! He sings from his soul!!! Country like back when country was so good! Gut wrenching real life music! Raw touching relatable! I’ve never been a rap fan but Adam Calhoun & Tom McDonald have been on fire!!! If you haven’t heard them lately you must!!!
Im so glad Oliver Anthony’s music led me to this channel. I’ve watched so much of your content in the last 48 hours I feel like I’ve always been here. Keep up the great work.
I love this one. I'm glad you said in the beginning about how your children are getting older and noticing. You're right. The song "walk a little straighter" by Billy Currington guts me every single time. It's an older song now, but since it's come out, it's always hit me in the feelings. I wish my dad could get sober and stay sober.
I found your channel while I was chasing reaction videos to this song. Something about this song……. Watching your face as you watched him sing struck a chord. I watched lots of videos but yours and one other were the ones I remembered. I’m back today and have subscribed. Thank you. 🌝
it's been said "people don't buy what you do, they buy why you do it" Oliver Anthony has proven that once again. It's simple chords and simple lyrics about things we can all relate to but its true and it's raw and its real and in a world where everyone has a facade obscuring their actual lives being so vulnerable is cherished.
With every bit of me… the only way I can describe this man is that he’s (at LEAST for me) been food for my soul. Literal ‘soul food’. He has set the world on fire these last few days. Who knows where this will go. I just hope he knows, some how, how much we NEEDED his music. How much we love his music and how much we love him. He almost strikes me as a sort of ‘Tom McDonald’ phenomenon. Just without the tattoos. 😉🎼❤️ (Edit/Additional) Stunning lady. You’re a lucky man, Michael. 👍🏼
This song and your reaction to it, hit really hard! I’m struggling with thinking I should not drink so much, then making excuses for myself and saying maybe tomorrow!!
Liverpool UK in the house. Oliver brought me here, but let me say this was a fantastic reaction and I really do mean it when I say I hope you get yourself right my friend. Thank you for taking the time to break this down.
i've only seen a couple of your videos but just from those few i can clearly see this artist has really struck a strong chord with you along with many many others and i find it very encouraging. a lot of us have thought we were so alone in all this BS and there is a certain comfort in knowing you aren't alone in your struggles and together we can do something to change it. keep the fires of hope alive while working to to protect it and to work towards it. don't let that flame stagnate and burn out. it's too precious a thing in this day and age.....
Finding Ren a few weeks ago and now Oliver...I can honestly say I've never felt so many emotions in a long time. We need this music and thank you for not just shining a light on these musicians...but your insight as well. ❤
i spent twenty plus years of "not today"... but i have found my peace of the Lord and will be 7 years sober in november.. having done all to stand.. keep standing.
Holy cow. What an amazing, amazing breakdown and personal reaction. I've lived that life and everything you said was so true. These lyrics run deep. Thanks for the honesty and the message you share of getting better each day. I'm in.
Thank you , Michael, for your insight and fervent stand for , Oliver and all humanity! I know you have made a difference today, and I am here for it!❤️❤️❤️
Those cicadas just add so much to this song for some reason….maybe it the southern livin’ in me cause I love that sound. Oliver has a raw talent that just leave me silent as I listen to him. Great video.
I am worried this is going to end up a cautionary tale. A lot of people have pick him and are using Rich Men North of Richmond as a rally cry. I hope he is made of strong enough stuff to stay the course he wants without being pushed where other people want him to go. He's got the talent and I widh him all the luck in the world
Oliver seems to me to be a moderate. His music has shown to me that he sees the left and right as two sides of the same coin in the business of power. I really can’t see him using his music as anything other than a voice of the beaten down, broken, and forgotten people of the world.
@@caleighbocrie577 I didn't even want to put as much on here as I did because this has always been a positive place. But the times we're living in. It seems increasingly hard to just live your life outside of the swirling mess. Whatever he wants his story to be I just hope he's the one directing it.❤
@@ish474 me too. I see it too often that genuine people get caught up in what other people want by way of promising money/power/glory. The music he makes is really something special and it would be sad to see him get caught up in things that would diminish that. What other people do with his music is out of his control, but what he can control is what he does with his music.
I'm so glad I came across this channel.. I'm learning so much from you and I really appreciate it.. Thank you for making these videos.. you also really helped me understand the song so much better.. I can't express my appreciation for that but, Thank you bro..
Micheal the last couple videos you've done opening up to your audience has been refreshing and I for one appreciate you for speaking your truth. Some might not like it but there isn't enough of us speaking from the heart and it's needed especially in these times. Thank you
After 35 years of sobriety I am still moved by songs of recovery. My favorite album of the year so far is a Pound of Rust by JD Graham. 12 songs that completely resonate with those who have lost everything and begin to get it back once recovery begins. JD’s writing and vocals are insane.
I loved watching you break this down, and seeing you throw your face in your hand seeing yourself in the lyrics!!! I wish Godspeed in your journey for you and your children❤️ im gonna sub to you so I can follow your journey
Here is the absolute beauty of this song: I have never struggled with addiction. But here, in this song, when Oliver sings about not getting sober today, I feel it viscerally. Because we all know that feeling needing to change, to deal with something, to turn our messed up lives around. And even though I don’t feel the need to get sober (but if that’s you, I’m rooting for you) even though I don’t face that particular situation, I get the overall struggle in the song. It’s universal. That’s a great song.
Michael you broke me with your reaction to this. Felt what you said & I’m sorry to those who don’t play an instrument, but it adds to the song IMHO if you do. God Bless! ✌️
Thank you for this video! I’ll be praying for you both and your sober journey. I’m so thankful for Oliver sharing his gift with the rest of us since it is so relatable. Rich Men North of Richmond speaks to all hard working people of all colors, political affiliations, cultures etc. It relates to EVERYONE that makes just enough money for them (aka the powers that be) to take it all. The people that might say they don’t like the song are just oblivious to the fact that it pertains to them too. Hell, if you work and your job takes a little piece of your soul every flippin day…then the money you earn gets all taken away in bills and taxes, it pertains to you too. I will say that that first song only scratched the surface for me.. I wound up downloading all his songs that were available on Apple Music. I wound up loving I’ve gotta get sober… I also really love Virginia…. They are all really great. We need to have this dude’s back!… because I hope to see more from in the future.❤️
Awesome commentary, Michael. Thanks for your raw honesty that matches Oliver's raw honesty. God bless you, and him, with sobriety for the rest of your days.
So glad you played this song, watching how it touched you and your feedback spoke volume . I just started listening to you a couple days ago and I'm very impressed ! You seem to be real and genuine...that's definitely a plus to me. Hope you and Oliver get to jam together one day ! Stay True !!
Mesmerizing, I look forward to hearing more from him❤ I listened to a song called Virginia, it's just as good! I hope you decide to do a 3rd from Oliver Anthony❤
I really appreciate the realness and wisdom you're sharing with your audience. You are definitely one of my favorite channels. Keep doing what you do, Michael and God bless you!
BEAUTIFUL analysis ❤️ I stopped alcohol last year ( and now went carnivore), and the clarity is so satisfying, so uplifting. Oliver Anthony is as real as they come … and you / we all feel it, too. Bless you for your honesty … your children deserve the best of you! Thanks for sharing 🙏
I just subscribed because I’m “Liking the vibe”, of this channel especially as another musician/ Singer/ Songwriter. Keep up the meaningful content, it’s both excellent and thoughtful!
Love seeing this man taking a wrecking ball to the establishment!!!!!!! Doggonit, I want to go home, all of them!!!! The people have spoken, more Oliver!!!
Thank you, Michael. A very timely and important example of how change takes place. Your excellent observations and insights serve to enhance the message. Bravo to you and Oliver 🙏🏻
Whatta state the states are in they are down on there knees but will rise again you guys lead the free world let’s go…. Looking so hard for hope has had you find this Oliver lad in the woods whatta fire that has started now keep going you have the answers in your people but only the ones with humility…❤
This song was the epitome of my life for so many years. Waking up everyday wishing I was sober reaching for a drink. Until one day the Lord put his healing hand on me and that day was the last day I would take a drink. Almost 2 years ago! Fight the good fight! God bless!
New subscriber RUclips suggested your channel yesterday. I couldn't be happier. I love the "Guitar Talks" with your teachings. Music has been my best friend for decades. There is a cord, a lyric, a feel for every emotion, every failure, joy, and triumph. It is truly the best medicine for the soul. I felt your reaction, and I'm glad the algorithms sent me to you. 🙏

Hey bro, love your videos, do you think you could do a reaction/ lesson on George straits “the best day” specifically if possible “live from the astrodome” I cannot seem to figure it out. Thanks bro!
Wow. Who knew Michael was a part of the Joe Rogan, Matt Walsh dip s*it crew. So disappointing. How do you highlight great musicians/songwriters like Jason Isbell, Derek Trucks, and Tyler Childers and then sit there with a straight face and act like this guy is some great talent? Last I checked Isbell and Childers weren't singing songs about conspiracy theories and tearing down social programs like welfare. Wearing the Isbell/Prine "What've I Done To Help" shirt is the cherry on top. That shirt runs completely contrary to everything this guy and the right wing nuts are trying to sell. Or did you not actually listen to the lyrics of that song? Come on, Michael. Be better.
Im a recovering addict this song is schlock
Wait where has he been playing? Ive listened to most of his songs, it kinda sounded like he was coming around Baltimore how u said it. If not he needs to come play.
I wrote this at the begining so i didnt hear you say you share our disease, addictions. You're doing it man. Idk how you've been able to keep up a channel and teaching and a family, but phew. Going throuh actual physical withdrawal, can only understand it one way.
This guy literally just crawled out of the woods with a guitar in his hand and just gave the entire world a shot of courage using nothing but a few strings and a powerful voice.
I think it is because Americans are tired of the crap from DC. People taking advantage, prices going up, vicious cycles.
Crap from DC, crap from the media, and crap from the musical industrial complex. 😂
❤he didn't even have a channel at the time. Correct. He's American making us all want to be American and proud to be who we are. New sub. Totally can learn music from you. Thank you.

So jealous
🥲
History was made

So damn cool!!
This wasn't a Reacts video, it was therapy session for the masses! I just passed nine years alcohol free. For me it happened in a moment at 33,000 feet in a airplane bathroom. I was half lit and as I looked in the mirror something came over me. I said out loud "I'm done" and I walked backed to my seat. I threw my fresh drink away the flight attendant had just put on my tray table and that was it. I walked off that plane and have never had the desire to drink again. God healed me of my alcohol problem it that moment. He can heal any of you of whatever ails you. Open your heart and let him in.
Thank you for sharing your story. 🙏
I've been there too. For so many years I was a drunk and dope head. Many times when I was drunk and puking my guts out I would promise GOD " help me get over this one and I won't do it again" lying to HIM and myself and the next weekend do it all over again. A little over 18 years ago it got to where I could just start drinking a beer , not even half a beer, and I would get so sick with my stomach churning and lit headed feeling like I was gonna pass out. At first I thought it was just my body telling me it had had enough, then I got to thinking how many times I promised GOD I wouldn't do it any more, so I said ok LORD , if that's how it's gonna be then so be it and I've not taken another drink of alcohol since. And it didn't bother me at all. JESUS took away my desire for it and I just didn't want it any more matter of fact, if I'm even around anyone else drinking, just the smell of it makes me sick. I 'm so thankful for it and have to give all the credit and glory to JESUS for taking away my desire for it. I didn't quit my drinking, HE quit my drinking .
First: MASSIVE congrats to you. I had two alcoholics in my family so I KNOW what a mountain you climbed! Second: thank you for showing us it's possible! I'm not an alcoholic, but I have my own struggles, and it's inspiring. Thank you
That's amazing. Unfortunately for me, it is in my blood and I was more miserable sober than as a drunk. I took a miserable three years off and now am just incredibly regimented with drinking. Six pack max and only on special occasions. Still wish I had it in me to do what you did.
You can.
Ive been sober for 14 yrs. Completely sober. No drink, no weed, no prescriptions from the dr...not even a Tylenol. And after all those years this song still brings me to tears from the very beginning.
Congrats on your sobriety brother!
@@joshuarotger6203 thanks man. It was a tough road but the alternatives are worse IMO. One thing i can say is it makes life better, may not make it any easier
Congratulations on your sobriety and God bless. This is from a mom who's son has been a struggling with addiction for a good while now 🙏❤️
Amen! I am with you. 14 years as well but I only have today.. God is merciful. Run with winners but pray for those in need.
I’ll have 16, if I make it till October 4
That “but not today” had gotten me for years. And man overcoming that “but not today” was the biggest day in my life.
I overcame “but not today” because of this man. I’m prepared to accept this sage has experienced more than me. We all are walking this path.
Day 15 sober. Had the first shot offered to me since I made the choice. I refused it firmly. That shot I didn't take was so much better than the thousands I've taken over the years. Stay strong friends. IT IS WORTH IT.
Moment by moment till its day by day.
And you're worth it!
Waking up without a hangover starts to feel good really quick
Keep it going brother. It only gets easier as time goes by. Those choices become easy after a while. The people you need to be around won’t offer you a shot. If they do then you should think about how good of a friend they are. 6 years sober. Not trying to preach but good luck on your journey and god bless
Good for you, I am so happy and proud of you!!! Never stop trying to make yourself better. My dad was an alcoholic and died when I was 5 years old. Hang in there!!! YOU GOT THIS!
I've been suffering with alcoholism lately and I did something terribly yesterday and relapsed on drugs and hurt my entire family. God let me to this video because your words resonated with me. I've got to stop saying I'll get sober tomorrow and just start. Right now. I'm going to get down on my knees and cry out to God because I know he can save me. He's the only one that can'❤ Oliver Anthony is a breath of fresh air for all of us
You got this. God Bless!
Just keep putting your best foot forward one step at a time and eventually that bright light at the end of that tunnel of struggle will be so bright the darkness won't have any room to show it's ugly face. Be the best version of you that you know how to be and everything else will fall in place. You have the strength in you and you owe it to yourself and your family to to keep that strength to keep saying no. Sometimes you have to let friends go and that's okay you don't need those friends. Good bless and remember you can do it
God removed my obsession with Alcohol . I am grateful that He put Bill W, AA, and Celebrate Recovery into my life. I have been sober nearly 7 years. I am sorry to hear about your suffering and will pray that God responds to your prayer. My story is not unique. Johnny G told me how he came to one morning and could not get back on the couch, so like you, he knelt and prayed that God take away his desire. He showed me a new way of living --that included a lot of AA meetings and asked me to put in the work. While I dont think he originated this quote, I will never forget it. “Yesterday is history, tomorrow is a mystery, but I am sober today, living one day at time.”
Sara I'll be praying for your day to day recovery! ❤
praying for you
I was at this show and I have to say that this was so much a moving moment. It was a free show with easily 3-4k people that showed up. Everyone singing along was a bone chilling experience
The Spirit of God is on the move " everywhere " 🙏🦅⚖️
I hope everyone tossed a buck or two for him and the other performers.
One of the best pieces of advice I was ever given was from my father. When saying that I was just going to drink wine one year, my father said “Abstinence is easier than moderation.” I didn’t realize how true it was until I quit. 5+ years sober. God bless you all who have done it and who are working toward it.
Oh for sure. It's a super strong drug. Moderating it is really, really hard. Don't let anyone tell you otherwise.
Same here
I was counting days without drinking
then it hit me
How about I just don’t drink PERIOD
This guy writes as he been writing for 50 years. Its amazing. It's one great song after another.
I saw my wife struggle with alcohol addiction for years. She’s been sober for ten years now and doing great! This song and your comments brought me back as a witness to that struggle. Keep strong and trust in God.
Praise GOD,I Haven't had a drink in 10 years
This guys lyrics and storytelling is simply off the charts. He goes places you don't expect and he does it so simply. He's something very special. Glad he's here for all of us.
And this guy...
Hi Ren...
m.ruclips.net/video/s_nc1IVoMxc/видео.html&feature=share
Been sober since 2016 from “hard” substances. Spent the better part of a decade struggling and in a dark hole, every day digging deeper and deeper. Getting sober seemed so scary and unobtainable at the time. Looking back it was easy, at least, compared to living the hell that I was living. I make the choice every day to be sober and pray to GOD for strength and guidance. GOD is amazing 🙏
Love this dudes reactions. He has a humbleness you don't often see in people
And he actually add to it unlike most people.
Everything this guy writes is poetry. Actual emotion filled ballads. I love it so much. On the politics thing. Oliver Anthony says, it's not about Red or Blue. It's about me and you. ALL of us. 🇺🇸
We all fight the same kinds of battles in different places.
You can say that, but it certainly is. Maybe it’s not about the political parties, but trust me, the left hates this guy and what he’s saying. Rolling stone already shit on him.
"Well, God, if you're 5-foot-3 and you're 300 pounds
Taxes ought not to pay for your bags of fudge rounds"
this guy writes poetry like a toddler uses a crayon
@@shartattack12 we all know that the welfare system needs to be reformed. Way too many people are gaming the system while we have actual starving people in America that aren't getting government assistance. We have a responsibility to help when we can and to not take more from each other than we need. That's all he was saying. I think it's beautiful.
@@midnitelite7210 I know what he’s saying, I’m saying what he’s saying sucks.
Man, this guy's music fuels a fire in me.
Let the fire burn brighter till you become one with the fire. Then you realize that the fire was always inside you. And you realize your potential. You see the humanity in yourself and every one around you.
It fuels a fire in all of us. We have got to come together. The spark has been lit. Now let it burn.
It's earthy and for the common man and woman. I grew up in Appalachia. This is music from home.
The fire rises brothers!
In all of us. Its very special.
This man has hit me right in my soul. Been sober 15 years. I’ve felt every word of this song. Can’t wait to see what else he brings the world. ❤
If I could give this one hundred thumbs up I would. Not only for the song, but for Michael’s perspective on life. Wow, thank you. So many of us need this.
Thx Matthew!!
Agree
This song helped me kick my addiction.
I had this "just not tonight" mentality for years.
I listened to this on repeat for about an hour. Something clicked in my mind, and that's where the problem was.
I need to start praying again now.
Man! Took one stuper in front of my 3 kids to take me straight. The embarrassment and shame of having my children see me like that was more than I could handle. Lucky for me I could still be shamed into changing as many can't. I haven't done it since and that was 10 years ago. I pray for this man. The machine "North of Richmond" won't let this go. They're coming for him and he needs to stay true and strong.
Amen!
Rolling Stone already wrote a disgusting attack piece on him, they were most upset about his veiled reference to Epstein Island, makes you wonder why they are so triggered by that one little reference, his response was to read Psalm 37 12-20 as a response to their attack at his concert opening.
It's a hard thing seeing the way we really are.
@@theotherorange3586 It’s even harder when you either can’t or just refuse to. What happened to me needed to happen before my eyes were closed for good. I thank God for making me realize what I was back then and rely on him to stay strong moving forward.
His Lyrics are UNREAL.... the way he phrases things... Dude is going to blow up BIG TIME.
I quit playing music 13 years ago to get sober. I started back writing up at the beginning of this year. If I can stop drinking believe me anyone can do it. I was a mess from dawn till way past midnight every day until I got set free. Thanks for taking on this song with all of us out here.
You quit music to get sober? How does that work?
Music and drinking began to go hand in hand for me. To sit down and write, a drink was needed. To get up in the morning, a drink was needed. To do anything, a drink was needed and I realized I had been using, putting on shows and driving g on and on making music to escape all the stuff from my past. So I walked away from it to finally deal with my ghosts or demons or whatever one likes to call it.
I’m 29 years sober. I’ve sponsored many women and watched people over all these years who wouldn’t connect to the we in AA suffer. This is something you cannot do alone. Love this song. I’m going to pray for you two guys. My son just joined AA he is 39 he was 10 when I got sober.
Oliver needs to do a Singer/Songwriter special. Play a song and tell us some of his story in person. I'm so happy for him and praying that he comes through this okay. Lightning doesn't strike often.
Best storyteller singer since Johnny Cash
This would be awesome
@@deanfirnatine7814he’s not the best singer songwriter or guitarist your going to find but that doesn’t make him bad
music used to be story and emotion with labels now it’s fake bs and sex the reason he comes of as great to people is also because his singing and guitar also aren’t polished or autotuned what makes him great is the authenticity he’s not the fake plastic Barbie musician most people are used to today unfortunately country music has long been infected by fake Hollywood pop crap
I want back instrumentals that drive emotions not just catchy beats
I want songs that tell real story and drive emotions and feelings not wap or mumble bs
I want people who use auto tune to be outcasts again it takes so much depth and soulfulness away from what songs should be
To me, that "if" in the line "if I wake up tomorrow" is very powerful and easy to overlook. He's in such a rough spot with little hope that he doesn't even know IF he'll wake up tomorrow.
My brother used to drink in order NOT to wake up tomorrow. My mother in the end never did. It's such a key word, packs so much power in just two letters.
Yup. Caught it the 2nd time around. I’m the if is everything.
Yep
We, (I) know Oliver(not his real name) he is a good friend of ours. He is a great young man, He has been playing for quiet awhile. He is truly a good young man. You are getting know him through his music. As I am getting to know you through this channel. My prayers are with you. May God bless you! Thank you for such nice reviews.
I hope he stays grounded. Most humans can be purchased for several million $ and then the authenticity is gone.
But you can tell he's a great young man.
@@GmaticLeon You would be proud to know him. I am going to do my best to help him get started well. I love him like a son. Thank you and God bless you!
Found your channel when you reacted to Rich Man. Love your content my friend. You are truly just a wildly likable individual, wish you all the success in the world.
Dude thx so much! Glad you found us :)
“Wildly likable” is such a perfect description. 💪🏼
Your reaction to Rich Men led me to Travis Meadows Sideways which helped me address some significant regrets I’ve had with raising my son. Your comment about forgiveness sounds like my AA talk I’ve been giving for the last 30 yrs of sobriety. Thank God I’ve been playing the guitar since 12 and found a massive outlet in music and faith. You are authentic, passionate and I pray you keep touching people like you did me. Peace out my friend
Peace my brother. Thx so much and fantastic that it lead you to Travis & reaching out to your son. There’s what this is all about
Touching song. I have a loved one that was saved by the Lord Jesus Christ and is living a life sober. *moved to tears. May the Lord Bless both these gentlemen as they draw closer to God. Amen.
You have a good soul and an enviable amount of empathy.
Ain't got a dollar, and doggonit are also great songs by him. He sings from the base of his soul. Every lyric is rooted in painful reality. He blows me away!
The cicadas in the background just add to the whole feel of the song. Maybe because you know it's real and not something done in post. That sums up the instant popularity of this young musician, imho, the authenticity. The bugs singing in the background are a real as the suffering he sings about. If you know, you know.
100%
Usually they get quiet when they hear noise right?
You will eat z bugs.
I’m not a musician so I can’t explain the mechanics all I know is that this man means what he sings, he feels it and it resonates with everyone who hears his words. I don’t know him but I feel a fondness for him somehow and I really want him to succeed. He gives us all hope, however bad your life may feel, it can change for the better in an instance so I guess the moral of the story is, hang in there as you never know what’s around the corner.
If he's only been sober 30 days this might be too much to handle, i do wish him the best of luck
John Rich is looking out for him and telling "Big Musuc" to back off.
He knows the pitfalls.
The first two times I heard got to get sober I lost it.
The song is so powerful oliver anthony could've hummed the words and I would get chills.
Great analysis! That "not today" line hit me like a gut punch. Olivers' songs evoke strong emotions every time I listen. I really look forward to following his career.
“Ain’t Got A Dollar,” “90 Some Chevy,” and “Virginia” are all some more great songs by him.
Another great song from Oliver. What a great folk artist he’s going to be
God be with him and bless him in his journey
god doesn't do anything. he's doing it on his own. you overly religious people need to stop giving credit to some imaginary thing when i'ts YOU that did the work. YOU put in the effort. You went through the struggle. you deserve all the credit. not some flying spagetti monster, not god, not budda or any other "higher power"
@hughneutron5303 you couldn't be more wrong man.
I never drank much around my kids, but their mother does..
I went sober 5 years ago after divorce, to show my kids you can live sober..
I also started playing drums and guitar then.
I play drums in a punk band, and am writing songs on guitar..
❤ this video…
Bro, you just knocked me back when you admitted your personal situation so nakedly. I knew what I was getting into with this song, but your reaction raised this to an intimate revelation. Thank you.
I’ve been listening to Oliver all week and loving everything! He sings from his soul!!! Country like back when country was so good! Gut wrenching real life music! Raw touching relatable!
I’ve never been a rap fan but Adam Calhoun & Tom McDonald have been on fire!!! If you haven’t heard them lately you must!!!
Tom and Adam speak freedom and this is what’s it all about
Im so glad Oliver Anthony’s music led me to this channel. I’ve watched so much of your content in the last 48 hours I feel like I’ve always been here. Keep up the great work.
Looks like those words hit you man. Setting here in tears listening myself. He is an answer to a lot of prayers. Keep strong my friend.
You children deserve a sober Dad!!!
just celebrated 24 yrs, Lad... one moment at a time... All Glory to God.- great vid, Michael
This songs hits hard! Brought so much emotion and tears for me. My favorite song from Oliver.
I love this one.
I'm glad you said in the beginning about how your children are getting older and noticing.
You're right.
The song "walk a little straighter" by Billy Currington guts me every single time. It's an older song now, but since it's come out, it's always hit me in the feelings. I wish my dad could get sober and stay sober.
That song always hits the heart
I found your channel while I was chasing reaction videos to this song. Something about this song……. Watching your face as you watched him sing struck a chord. I watched lots of videos but yours and one other were the ones I remembered. I’m back today and have subscribed. Thank you. 🌝
Same here .
it's been said "people don't buy what you do, they buy why you do it" Oliver Anthony has proven that once again. It's simple chords and simple lyrics about things we can all relate to but its true and it's raw and its real and in a world where everyone has a facade obscuring their actual lives being so vulnerable is cherished.
It's the soul and heart in his voice. It's like he's screaming his heart out.
What a talented songwriter this man is. He is on fire! This along with Rich Men,... is some of the best songwriting I've heard in a LONG time.
All of his music is so good. Every single song touches my soul.
I am so happy for our brother Oliver!! He deserves this!! And he is Soooo HUMBLE!!! We all need to pray for both of yall's sobriety... 🙏🙌
With every bit of me… the only way I can describe this man is that he’s (at LEAST for me) been food for my soul. Literal ‘soul food’. He has set the world on fire these last few days. Who knows where this will go. I just hope he knows, some how, how much we NEEDED his music. How much we love his music and how much we love him.
He almost strikes me as a sort of ‘Tom McDonald’ phenomenon. Just without the tattoos. 😉🎼❤️
(Edit/Additional) Stunning lady. You’re a lucky man, Michael. 👍🏼
This song and your reaction to it, hit really hard! I’m struggling with thinking I should not drink so much, then making excuses for myself and saying maybe tomorrow!!
You can do it. Taking the first step in making the decision to stop drinking is the hard part. God Bless.
Liverpool UK in the house. Oliver brought me here, but let me say this was a fantastic reaction and I really do mean it when I say I hope you get yourself right my friend. Thank you for taking the time to break this down.
I've listened to all the songs he's posted and recognized this one as another masterpiece. I get the feeling this guy has a few more in him.
i've only seen a couple of your videos but just from those few i can clearly see this artist has really struck a strong chord with you along with many many others and i find it very encouraging. a lot of us have thought we were so alone in all this BS and there is a certain comfort in knowing you aren't alone in your struggles and together we can do something to change it. keep the fires of hope alive while working to to protect it and to work towards it. don't let that flame stagnate and burn out. it's too precious a thing in this day and age.....
Finding Ren a few weeks ago and now Oliver...I can honestly say I've never felt so many emotions in a long time. We need this music and thank you for not just shining a light on these musicians...but your insight as well. ❤
i spent twenty plus years of "not today"... but i have found my peace of the Lord and will be 7 years sober in november.. having done all to stand.. keep standing.
Holy cow. What an amazing, amazing breakdown and personal reaction. I've lived that life and everything you said was so true. These lyrics run deep.
Thanks for the honesty and the message you share of getting better each day. I'm in.
Thanks for diving into Oliver Anthony’s amazing rabbit hole. Whenever you put another one out, I’ll be here for you. 😊🙏♥️
Thank you , Michael, for your insight and fervent stand for , Oliver and all humanity! I know you have made a difference today, and I am here for it!❤️❤️❤️
Those cicadas just add so much to this song for some reason….maybe it the southern livin’ in me cause I love that sound. Oliver has a raw talent that just leave me silent as I listen to him. Great video.
Him and Jamey Johnson singing together yesterday sent chills down my.
Michael @Guitargate ~ Thank you for sharing your sobriety months... Stick to your guns kiddo ! Life is so awesome above the fog
I am worried this is going to end up a cautionary tale. A lot of people have pick him and are using Rich Men North of Richmond as a rally cry. I hope he is made of strong enough stuff to stay the course he wants without being pushed where other people want him to go. He's got the talent and I widh him all the luck in the world
Oliver seems to me to be a moderate. His music has shown to me that he sees the left and right as two sides of the same coin in the business of power. I really can’t see him using his music as anything other than a voice of the beaten down, broken, and forgotten people of the world.
@@caleighbocrie577 I didn't even want to put as much on here as I did because this has always been a positive place. But the times we're living in. It seems increasingly hard to just live your life outside of the swirling mess. Whatever he wants his story to be I just hope he's the one directing it.❤
This guys a writer and musician, thats it.
Its the dumbasses trying to turn him into something else because theyre life is all fvcked up.
I know it’s all over twitter now, the far right trying to make him a poster boy and bait political fights. It’s gross (in either direction).
@@ish474 me too. I see it too often that genuine people get caught up in what other people want by way of promising money/power/glory. The music he makes is really something special and it would be sad to see him get caught up in things that would diminish that. What other people do with his music is out of his control, but what he can control is what he does with his music.
I love that moment you were speechless- you just ducked your head and turned him back on. This episode is magic.
I'm so glad I came across this channel.. I'm learning so much from you and I really appreciate it.. Thank you for making these videos.. you also really helped me understand the song so much better.. I can't express my appreciation for that but, Thank you bro..
Micheal the last couple videos you've done opening up to your audience has been refreshing and I for one appreciate you for speaking your truth. Some might not like it but there isn't enough of us speaking from the heart and it's needed especially in these times. Thank you
You are good people, GuitarGate
Thx brother :) You too
Man balling my eyes out, I gotta get sober but today ain’t the day!!!
Make today the day, because tomorrow may be too late.
After 35 years of sobriety I am still moved by songs of recovery. My favorite album of the year so far is a Pound of Rust by JD Graham. 12 songs that completely resonate with those who have lost everything and begin to get it back once recovery begins. JD’s writing and vocals are insane.
What an absolute masterclass of a “reaction.” This is church, brother. Thank you for the words.
I loved watching you break this down, and seeing you throw your face in your hand seeing yourself in the lyrics!!! I wish Godspeed in your journey for you and your children❤️ im gonna sub to you so I can follow your journey
Sober 33 years 4 months by the grace of God and my small part. Great job gentleman.
This man's talent is a gift from God.
It's like magic. He's helping us heal and refocus for the road to come.
Good on you for managing sobriety for your children, seriously. Big respect my man, look after them kids 🙂
Here is the absolute beauty of this song: I have never struggled with addiction. But here, in this song, when Oliver sings about not getting sober today, I feel it viscerally. Because we all know that feeling needing to change, to deal with something, to turn our messed up lives around. And even though I don’t feel the need to get sober (but if that’s you, I’m rooting for you) even though I don’t face that particular situation, I get the overall struggle in the song. It’s universal. That’s a great song.
I hope he has two sets worth of songs. He's gonna need it bc the people are going to demand it. :)
He has sixteen songs in the top one hundred on iTunes
Taylor Swift only has eight. This guy was unknown a week ago.
@@deanfirnatine7814 He has 5 songs in the top 10 on iTunes now!!!
@@bradleysmith2021she has 8 with multimillion dollar marketing dollar and she can't make anything this deep or introspective
Michael you broke me with your reaction to this. Felt what you said & I’m sorry to those who don’t play an instrument, but it adds to the song IMHO if you do. God Bless! ✌️
Thank you for this video! I’ll be praying for you both and your sober journey. I’m so thankful for Oliver sharing his gift with the rest of us since it is so relatable. Rich Men North of Richmond speaks to all hard working people of all colors, political affiliations, cultures etc. It relates to EVERYONE that makes just enough money for them (aka the powers that be) to take it all. The people that might say they don’t like the song are just oblivious to the fact that it pertains to them too. Hell, if you work and your job takes a little piece of your soul every flippin day…then the money you earn gets all taken away in bills and taxes, it pertains to you too. I will say that that first song only scratched the surface for me.. I wound up downloading all his songs that were available on Apple Music. I wound up loving I’ve gotta get sober… I also really love Virginia…. They are all really great. We need to have this dude’s back!… because I hope to see more from in the future.❤️
Awesome commentary, Michael. Thanks for your raw honesty that matches Oliver's raw honesty. God bless you, and him, with sobriety for the rest of your days.
So glad you played this song, watching how it touched you and your feedback spoke volume . I just started listening to you a couple days ago and I'm very impressed ! You seem to be real and genuine...that's definitely a plus to me. Hope you and Oliver get to jam together one day ! Stay True !!
Thanks Michael. I have absolutely 0 musical ability but I listen to your commentary because it means something to me. Great stuff!
Mesmerizing, I look forward to hearing more from him❤ I listened to a song called Virginia, it's just as good! I hope you decide to do a 3rd from Oliver Anthony❤
I really appreciate the realness and wisdom you're sharing with your audience. You are definitely one of my favorite channels. Keep doing what you do, Michael and God bless you!
Great reaction man. Probably the best on youtube since you go into depth on the meaning of the lyrics so well. Much appreciated.
BEAUTIFUL analysis ❤️ I stopped alcohol last year ( and now went carnivore), and the clarity is so satisfying, so uplifting. Oliver Anthony is as real as they come … and you / we all feel it, too. Bless you for your honesty … your children deserve the best of you! Thanks for sharing 🙏
Love your insight and sharing bits of your own story. I love your channel.
….and LOVE your shirt!! 🙌🏻
Whatever Oliver's been through, as us all by the grace of God, thankyou father for the insights that bring forth such magic as this.
I just subscribed because I’m “Liking the vibe”, of this channel especially as another musician/ Singer/ Songwriter. Keep up the meaningful content, it’s both excellent and thoughtful!
Love seeing this man taking a wrecking ball to the establishment!!!!!!! Doggonit, I want to go home, all of them!!!! The people have spoken, more Oliver!!!
Thank you, Michael. A very timely and important example of how change takes place. Your excellent observations and insights serve to enhance the message. Bravo to you and Oliver 🙏🏻
Whatta state the states are in they are down on there knees but will rise again you guys lead the free world let’s go…. Looking so hard for hope has had you find this Oliver lad in the woods whatta fire that has started now keep going you have the answers in your people but only the ones with humility…❤
This song was the epitome of my life for so many years. Waking up everyday wishing I was sober reaching for a drink. Until one day the Lord put his healing hand on me and that day was the last day I would take a drink. Almost 2 years ago! Fight the good fight! God bless!
Great reaction and analysis of art that is so emotional.
I really like his "Doggon It" and "Living in the New World". Heck of a songwriter
New subscriber RUclips suggested your channel yesterday.
I couldn't be happier. I love the "Guitar Talks" with your teachings.
Music has been my best friend for decades. There is a cord, a lyric, a feel for every emotion, every failure, joy, and triumph. It is truly the best medicine for the soul.
I felt your reaction, and I'm glad the algorithms sent me to you. 🙏
