Humbled by all the positive comments. I'm checking these on the daily as this video is very important. If it speaks to you, please share on your socials and let me know what comments your friends have to say. 2021 is gonna be a year that our country comes together. I can feel it.
I’m 50. My daughter is 27. We both got emotional when he went super sayan. Beautiful imagery. So so so on point. We loved it. Keep up the good work. I will have to follow your path from this point on.
Sup Willie I really love this song! Look I am a small streamer on Facebook and I want to know if there’s any way possible that I can get your permission to play this song on my streams?
Sadly genre boxes are still segregated. Country stations shy away from black artist… 96% of black artist played on those stations are the same three black men. And that is years after not getting any air time ie Darrius R. Let’s do our part and spread the word about his great music
This is a powerful song Willie Jones ❤message relevant even more today in 2024... Great Video production 👏🏼 Proud of you son, beautiful tone & musically just brilliant ❤ One love 🇯🇲
White dude here, 50 and this song is awesome! We are all Americans, we need to be united. Showed friends and family this song! Keep up the hard work brother! We will get there!
If you mean what you say then brother- help unite Black communities with white communities ✅⭐️...only you can do it- no1s coming to you America 🇺🇸- you had it all- please don't lose it again. Peace ✌️ from UK.🇬🇧.
I as a 47 year old white man and educator, I thought your message was relevant and perfectly spoken through your lyrics..... The tone was on point. I know that I myself and many of my mostly white colleagues strive to get this message out there to our students... which are predominantly children of color.......Thank you for this gift....
Willie Jones, a few months back, I happened upon your initial performance on the XFactor. I’m not much of a country music listener, but I do enjoy some country music. I was blown away by your performance and started listening to your music. But man, this song and video takes it to another level. Most songs you just listen to. Some songs you connect with. Then there are those songs, and videos, that are iconic. They transcend just being just songs and become anthems. For me, American Dream does just that. It is anthem for these times. As a father to two Black boys and as an educator focused on addressing persistent racial disproportionality in suspensions and expulsions of Black students in our schools, and its connection to the school-to-prison pipeline, American Dream is powerful and needed statement right now. Thank you.
Totally agree. Willy jones is a superb performer with a beautiful timber to his voice that makes me listen to every word he sings. I’m white, and live in Australia, but this song is very relevant for these times we live in. Wonderful song, wonderful performance, thank you. X
Your music is so timely... No music should not be about color...but heart, soul and spirit... you captured all of this in your music, not only this song..but your others.. i am proud of you, although I do not know you... You have showed that country music is not a color... it is so sad that you will have an uphill battle in this music branch... however all people of color are used to fighting and standing strong... so stand strong Black Man. You are an inspiration to all people...
Willie may not realize that being a black man entering the white dominated world of country music, he has himself become a physical sign of peace. Hes opening doors that he never could have imagined in bringing blacks, whites etc together as one. This song shines light on how we still have more work to do to ensure every human is viewed as equal. PoWORDSfull
@@nonalisajones2262 I came across your son’s music for the first time today (when he was on The Tonight Show). I’m happy to see a young black artist who has something to say instead of the usual commercial drivel that’s out there. You should be very proud of your son. ✊🏾👍🏾✌🏾❤️
A powerful message song. I have my take on life but some ppl ain’t ready. But if only folks start reading the Bible they will see there is hope in one man, Jesus and his father, our God Jehovah; will undo all pain and suffering we all face Daniel 2:44. Love your style 🔥
I’m a white man and I’m learning from the black community what it’s like living here. Is it truly that hard as a black person living in the USA? It shouldn’t be hard for anyone. I’m sorry that I haven’t seen it before. But I’m starting to understand. It’s people like you that will wake up the masses and make us all see the truth. Music truly is the eye opener to the world in my opinion. God Bless you man.
The biggest problem for them is that systemic racism is ingrained in the country. I'd read about Beulah Mae Donald. Mudbound is a good movie to watch. And I heard The 1619 Project is a good book to read. That book is at the heart of a lot of controversies these days. But I'd also read about the Tulsa race massacre or watch a doc on it. There is a lot of history they didn't teach us in HS.
Because country radio is racist against black artists. They are afraid of because they know black people are superior to them and will out sell white artist if given the chance.
@@williejones This message is way too deep for most of our melanin challenged friends to handle. I shared to my Facebook page. Btw, I just heard about you on 90.1 in Atlanta. God bless!
Tears, oh my gawds we need to get back too when we stood for each other. This song touched me, one i love seeing his rise from xfactor to one of my favorite artists
I am a Jamaican woman. And I could understand and relate to your message. I love your southerness and the fact that you could capture all that is happening in one song. Truly powerful and inspiring... I love how you have built on what you started xfactor with. I have been looking out for you from then, to see what you produce. Did not disappoint. Keep breaking barriers and making music that speaks a message not hype nor fame, but true to you and your people. 🙌👌😭
Willie Jones, You Are Incredible.....Your Voice is a Blessing from God. Continue using it for Good, Encouragement and Love! WOW.....Continued Success, Dear One!!
Mr jones beautiful song real words truth to the heart please god touch our hearts mine body and soul and forgive all people for their sins thank you mr jones praise be to god your music is a blessing please dont what your doing it's a gift from god
This song is an amazing piece of songwriting from an amazing singer/songwriter! I'm from Shreveport Louisiana and I know what Willie Jones is talking about. I know what he means when he says it's different being a black man then it is being a white man especially in Shreveport Louisiana and and a whole lot of places across this country. Willie Jones, you nailed it bro! And the spoken word you put in on the top of that was just icing on the cake that was amazing!
I just listened to and watched your video for the first time. It moved me so much. If it gets listened to another million times it might just be by me.
Willie Jones you have a great voice. Never stop singing. I have watched your videos over and over again. You are not just singing words. You put your heart into. Keep on keeping on. Don't stop singing. This is you
Hello dearest Fan how are you doing today trust you're having a wonderful day today,💓💓💓❤️❤️❤️ I wanna say a very big thanks to you for the love and support showed towards me and my music 🎶🎶🎶 ❤️❤️❤️💕💕💕💕💗💗💗💗 I appreciate your Love. Will continue working harder to make you proud. Now ima notice you.. #DownByTheRiverside
My mom is always speaking highly of this man! She loves this song and watches his performance on A.I. religiously. This song gave me chills though. It's so good. Heard all the way through for the first time today.
WOW! THIS SONG IS TOTALLY AWESOME!!!!!! I remember when I first was PLEASANTLY SHOCKED (with the rest of America) when Willie Jones sang that country song with his rich & deep sultry voice!!! I just happened to stumble across that audition clip again, today. THEN, this "American Dream" (Official Video) popped up! Mr. Willie Jones...YOUR LYRICS ARE POWERFUL! And, I'm so glad that you put your urgent message to MUSIC! Please, STAY HUMBLE, as you were instructed by one of the judges, and YOUR FUTURE WILL BE ("IS") BRIGHT; not only in "AMERICA"...but, all around the world! GOOD JOB! Signed...A FAN!
I kid you not when I say that I have heard this song on repeat for the last month everyday. And each time I get chills. The message is so powerful and I truly love this song ❤️ thank you
I fell in love with you, young'un on the "X Factor". This is the best! So powerful: your voice, the lyrics. When I heard MLK speak live, the first time I was 13. My very spirit became committed to the Cause because of that speech. 71 years later; this song reminded there are still voices being raised for that Cause. And, you, young Brother, do it well. Thank you!
Really just a great song and video, reminds me of my father telling me about black people serving in Korean Conflict who could not vote in American elections, yet fighting for America. Love this song so much.
Willie Jones, I ❤️,❤️,❤️ you, - your voice, your music, your originality, your perseverance, your ability and courage to take a stand when it's important to do so and your humility. Keep going! We need to hear more from you!! You are the man!!
Hello dearest Fan how are you doing today trust you're having a wonderful day today,💓💓💓❤️❤️❤️ I wanna say a very big thanks to you for the love and support showed towards me and my music 🎶🎶🎶 ❤️❤️❤️💕💕💕💕💗💗💗💗 I appreciate your Love. Will continue working harder to make you proud. Now ima notice you.. #DownByTheRiverside
I came to this land 12 years ago, all the way from Asia 🇵🇭 and became an American 🇺🇸 just 3 days ago. This song has been on repeat and it still doesn’t fail to strike me and get me teary-eyed. Proud of the progress we’ve made but willing to join the fight to get us all to reach the American Dream!
Congratulations! I hope you achieve your goals and create a happy and successful life for yourself and loved ones. The grind doesn't stop as long as we the people stand united against injustice, keep highlighting the issues and look for better solutions we shall overcome the bullshit.
I never used to listen to country Music before but I love it now because of your music dear willies. Your music goes direct to a black mans heart, am lucky your fan from Uganda in east Africa..... Thanks for that emotional message live.....
Willie Jones, I’ll never forget the first time I’ve seen you on The X factor and now finding you making your own amazing music, oh man it blows my mind! Wishing a lot of success and love to you! From your Brazilian fan 🇧🇷❤️💕😘
Damn!!! 🤯I heard the intro, hit pause, got out of bed, turned the lights on to get my 🎧. What a powerful song!!! Thanks for being light. 👂from the motherland.
Just found Willie a couple weeks ago. Love me some Willie Jones any time!! He's at his best singing emotional, heartfelt songs like American Dream where he can lose himself to his soul. I'm getting caught up on his work and love everything I've seen! Good Luck, Willy. 💕
Will Jones is one of the most underrated musicians out there to this date. I love his songs and his story telling but American Dream is to another level. We need this today. It frustrates me when people like Will doesn’t have millions of views and recognition now but I guarantee if he continues to be himself and make music like this, you will be remembered for a long time. Just like your song, your story, you are breaking barriers with new country fusion music. Great stuff and impeccable talent. As a black man myself who love all music and all people, this resonates. Great story and keep positive people around you. Don’t give up, the music industry is tough but regular people like us will carry you to that Grammy podium. Wish you and your family the best man.
Did the Nashville songwriting thing decades ago, got a platinum record, left town for the mountains 'cause my best songs never had a chance...Willie, I LOVE this song and your style really gets it across...I'm sooooo glad country music has opened up enough for you to get a stage! You deserve it...go, go GO!
Willie that was beautifully done..I'm a 64 year old white female and it brought tears to my eyes..good tears. May their be no bounds to youre success. Where have you been we all need your style. Xoxoxo
That song really blessed My soul I'm an old son of a share cropper, I grew up in that type of era, BUT I MADE IT, THANKS TO THE ALL MIGHTY GOD KEEP YOUR ARIGINALLITY!
Came across him on insta. Can’t believe this came out in 21 & Iam just now hearing I love it not just a great song but a awesome message. The main thing I love about a lot of country songs.
Hello Willie! I’m the old white man from Bozeman Montana that gave you $40 at the Lakers game. I like your message and your music. I pray that we do come together as a country and begin to heal the horrible past. It was nice to meet you. May God Bless you always.
Why I haven't commented in this song I don't know as it's been on my playlist for more than a year. I just want to say your amazing and the song is insanely good, how it doesn't have more views I don't know as it deserves so much more.
Mr Jones, I am so proud of you. Buying your cd. Yes I am old.with a car that has a cd player no aux. Your music is for all even my Nas loving NWA vibing self
Why you not top of most popular new artist was a huge fan as growing up listening to Charlie pride and you and other young men going and staying in the roots after charlie is just amazing God Bless and can't wait to hear hear more

Love your material dude. Keep it going. You’re going to more famous one day.
Im loving the video too, shows so many sacrifices made...too many. Detroit red was a hell of man
I’m 50. My daughter is 27. We both got emotional when he went super sayan. Beautiful imagery. So so so on point. We loved it. Keep up the good work. I will have to follow your path from this point on.

Dude, how are you not the top country singer in the world. Most unique country music ever! Incredible!
He's black. Per the song....America.
He's black duh?

How does this not have millions of views.. we need to spread this ASAP

Because no one cares..black people get more rights then white..prove me wrong

Wow...what an argument, I’m in awe...
@@grantmunafo439 lol i pity your dumb ass
One of The Greatest Recordings Ever Written, Produced, and Performed.
My first time discovering Willie. I think dude has a really promising career ahead.
This is one of those songs that pierce the soul, definitely looking into more of your music while I'm on the road
This should be the black American anthem. Profound message of history and hope.
Not many songs bring tears.
But this is 1 of 3 so far.
I felt every bit of this song.

I, too, discovered Willie Jones through his X-factor audition. So glad to have found this gentle man! Great message and great music!
This song brought tears to my eyes! Wow!!! You are so right about this song... Keep safe.

Hello
A powerful message song. I have my take on life but some ppl ain’t ready. But if only folks start reading the Bible they will see there is hope in one man, Jesus and his father, our God Jehovah; will undo all pain and suffering we all face Daniel 2:44. Love your style 🔥
he dont even need to try, the vibration of his deep voice is soothing my beautiful ears

Thank you for the acknowledgement of the struggle that is still plaguing the black community. Now to help others like you see. Then push for changes.
Yes. You should definitely keep learning about it. Systemic racism is alive and citizens also be racist to others too
Dude. You were given a talent by God and by God you have used it. Your journey is beautiful and your reward is glorious. Stay true. 100% 🔥
This song is absolutely amazing. It belongs at the tops of charts. I’m white and i think this song is amazing.
SO proud of you !!!! DO THE DAMN THING WILLIE JONES
Absolutely one the best-talented singers. I love the originality, the voice, and the character! This world needs more talent like this!
How is this underrated. Man you should be on billboards. You're amazing. Cheers from Philippines.
Billboards are up :) Not in the Philippines but all over the U.S. Thanks for the love.

Just found Willie a couple weeks ago. Love me some Willie Jones any time!! He's at his best singing emotional, heartfelt songs like American Dream where he can lose himself to his soul. I'm getting caught up on his work and love everything I've seen! Good Luck, Willy. 💕
Will Jones is one of the most underrated musicians out there to this date. I love his songs and his story telling but American Dream is to another level. We need this today. It frustrates me when people like Will doesn’t have millions of views and recognition now but I guarantee if he continues to be himself and make music like this, you will be remembered for a long time. Just like your song, your story, you are breaking barriers with new country fusion music. Great stuff and impeccable talent. As a black man myself who love all music and all people, this resonates. Great story and keep positive people around you. Don’t give up, the music industry is tough but regular people like us will carry you to that Grammy podium. Wish you and your family the best man.
Thank you. We're just getting started...
I so agree!! He deserves to be recognized for his talent and his “presence”…His voice in this song…perfection! His lyrics in this song…perfection!
Beautiful lyrics and song, powerful, love his voice 😘
He is great.
I'm mad that I hadn't heard of him until recently
How does this not have millions of views yet?! Wtf?!?
Because it’s a horrible song. This is not country music
Did the Nashville songwriting thing decades ago, got a platinum record, left town for the mountains 'cause my best songs never had a chance...Willie, I LOVE this song and your style really gets it across...I'm sooooo glad country music has opened up enough for you to get a stage! You deserve it...go, go GO!
Willie that was beautifully done..I'm a 64 year old white female and it brought tears to my eyes..good tears. May their be no bounds to youre success. Where have you been we all need your style. Xoxoxo
That song really blessed My soul I'm an old son of a share cropper, I grew up in that type of era, BUT I MADE IT, THANKS TO THE ALL MIGHTY GOD KEEP YOUR ARIGINALLITY!
Amazing, Willie Jones! Thank you for your work.
I've never gotten chills like that from a song or video. Absolutely AMAZING! God Bless you, your voice and your message!!!
Came across him on insta. Can’t believe this came out in 21 & Iam just now hearing I love it not just a great song but a awesome message. The main thing I love about a lot of country songs.
Hello Willie!
I’m the old white man from Bozeman Montana that gave you $40 at the Lakers game. I like your message and your music. I pray that we do come together as a country and begin to heal the horrible past. It was nice to meet you. May God Bless you always.
An anthem for Respect for All.
Pretty deep song. I just watched his video on X Factor, Brotha has changed from 17 to now...Well done Willie.
Absoloutly gorgeous
