Leaving a 13 hour shift, there’s still no extra money in my wallet, my truck is still begging for fuel, my fridge is still mostly empty, there’s still holes in the soles of my work boots, the world is still a mess, I’m still drowning in debt, I’m still over worked and underpaid, medical bills are still unpaid, my family is struggling to stay together, I’m working harder than ever before to make less than ever before. This man brought absolute tears to a grown blue collar man’s eyes on the way home tonight. The fact that a famous musician can make something so relatable is unreal. I can’t believe how hard this whole recorded album touched my soul. It’s like nothing I’ve ever heard before. Ever since you went viral, I haven’t stopped listening, but this album is something different, it’s absolutely insane the amount of emotion and energy you have touched in me. Thank you for this! I will support you till the end, because you have supported me and you don’t even know it. Thank you, keep doing what you are doing!
I love Oliver s music too. It hits home in more ways than one, and let's us know that we are not alone. Hang in there. Let go and Let God. May you and your Loved ones be Blessed, Protected, Provided for, and Guided always. In Jesus name. Amen. (His music hits home for thousands. I am so grateful.)
"I'd love to be an old man, but God you can take me a young one. Just don't let the land I love, die so young." That's the prayer on so many good people's hearts right now.
This is sad, they think someone would hurt this amazing country or the earth. Good thing most love it here like I do. God renewed the blessing of America.
Another quietly powerful banger. "When your whole damn country's been bought and sold..." Without Jesus Christ, we're not gonna make it outta this one.
@@claytonroberts5505 " Has to do more with empathy for your community and respect for you neighbors" Well, that and singing 'Kumbaya' a bunch of times. Right, Clayton?
People been hoping and praying for 2000 damn years that some hybrid man/god fairytale alien being will come and rescue them from their misery. Sorry … but that’s a Great deception that consumes your energies. Time to stand up and be your own damn Hero !! Time to quit wallowing in the misery of this world’s lies and deceits and fight your own fight.
"Don't let the land I love...die so young." This is more than just a song, it's a prayer from the desperate heart of a nation. One nation under God. 2 Chronicles 7:14 says, "If My people who are called by My name will humble themselves, and pray and seek My face, and turn from their wicked ways, then I will hear from heaven, and will forgive their sin and heal their land." This is a conditional promise from God. IF we will do what it says, THEN He will hear, forgive and heal our land.
And for so long the push away from and against Christianity has been so immense that without a total nationwide revival, collective redemption will not come to pass. Take heart all the same; as Job, our trials and these horrendous times full of wicked men and evil deeds will only bring us closer to Him so that when our summons are issued we can gratefully go Home
That is a conditional promise made to Israel, not to the last generations. The technology exists for the beast system now. We should pray for the return of Jesus SOON. Beware of Christianity that is focused on taking back a nation; it's likely Zionist garbage that is helping usher in the Messiah of the modern Jews, the antichrist.
You may see this as pedantic, but I think it's important: this is not a conditional promise; it is a statement of fact. "If my people.. WILL humble.., pray.., seek.., turn.., then I WILL HEAR.. " Please forgive my butchering of this verse, but I do so to highlight the words of import: will and hear. Why do you expect God to hear what hasn't been said, or see what you don't do, or don't even will to do? Doesn't this seem like hypocrisy to you? Yes, IF we do what God says, THEN He will hear and forgive, but this is because what He commanded is that we simply ask Him, not because He gave us a conditional promise. Otherwise, you take God's grace for an exchange, when we know it must be free and without exchange, as He says Himself. Ephesians 2:8-9 "For by grace you have been saved through faith; and that not of yourselves, it is the gift of God; not as a result of works, so that no one may boast."
Yes. I cried straight through replaying it dozens of times while sending it to so many people FB won't let me message for a while xD This song is the truest temperature of what it feels like to be an American right now.
@@davidcoley8500 The world is feeling it. He is telling our stories in his songs. We are lucky he was able to slip through the net so we could see and hear him.
Buddy you make my soul feel something fierce when you let your passion spill over these chords. Thank you for doing what you do. This ain't the first time you made this ol' boy shed tears and Lord knows it won't be the last. Y'all have a blessed one. Happy Easter to all.
My grandparents were hard folks . Lived through the depression and raised 5 children’s in a chicken coop they built to be a house while they squandered by. I’m fearful america has to go through that or worst to wake up. My grandfather died a millionaire who still hid food under his bed and wore clothes from good will . But he was the most generous man I have ever met .
Once again you have spoken to so many people. As a combat veteran from Afghanistan to Iraq to Africa and many places in between, I thank you. Your music is a helping voice in the night, when the demons come. Keep up the great work. We need you.
"Momma's been hurting..Daddys been down" I broke down after just hearing that one line. I try to stay strong for my wife and kids but I'm tired. I'm tired of making the most money I've ever made yet we're the poorest we've ever been.
You aren't alone brother. Wife and I both wasted away the first 12 years of our adult life in the city to get to a "good salary" and now that we're here we cant afford any acres to get back to the countryside like how we grew up, cant afford to build a home, and everything just keeps getting more and more expensive. Acreage over 70 miles from any major city in rural midwest went rapidly from $2-3k an acre to $20-30k an acre. Only ones buying land and homes are the rich and amish. The middle class was decimated entirely within the last 4 years. Now it's just the rich and the poor. Sick and tired of these greedy sinful scumbags that have bled us dry.
I will be turning 52 in a few months, these last couple of decades i often find myself thinking about the America i grew up in. back in the 70s and 80s in Oklahoma, and this certain type of old school country people i grew up around and rarely ever see any more. just sweet fun loving kind salt of the Earth people, and i long for those days and those attitudes and i long for Beautiful free America with long highways driving through nothing but nature and stopping for a meal at some small town diner.
32 years with my mother lost her in April this year now every time I hear this song The tears and the pain and all the memories I have with my mother come back as soon as I hear this song, I hope he understands how powerful his music is because this song does help me to release a lot of buildup inside. Thank you for making this wonderful song.🙏
This is what happens when teachers of righteousness are stopped from teaching Bible in schools , and prayers are stopped in schools in the 1960s , this is what happens when churches are torn down , or used for yoga schools , or bric-a-brac shops , .It's like removing a man's ribs , and telling him , Keep breathing , NOW , WE'RE RUNNING SCARED , BECAUSE OUR COVERING SUPPORT IS MISSING , AND WE ARE PREY NOW , without God , we perish ,
This whole album is so incredibly amazing. I don't think I've ever heard a whole album that resonates so deeply with me in every song. As if it's pages of my own life, sorrow, fears, frustrations and shortfalls. My own grasping at hope. I'm so thankful for your music. Things have gotten so bad that I stopped listening to music like I always have. As a lifelong music lover and musician myself, I just couldn't anymore. But I can listen to yours. It feels like my own soul pouring out from the depths of loneliness.
Since the mill closed down...damn,dad lost his mill job of over 40 years when it got sold off & moved over seas...he actually lived this. It'll take nothing short of a miracle to turn this country around before it's too late to save what's left of poor to middle class families . Well done OA music, well done.
He giving us something to grasp on cause what's coming is going to break us like nothing we've experienced. You throw Jesus out, and he'll will come folks history will always repeat itself.
I have days where i might listen to this song for over an hour straight. It helps me get through the low times when my faith in this world is dwindeling. Thank you oliver
At work 14 hours in with three more to go standing in my silence, listening to this song for the first time thinking God what I wouldn’t do to put food in the fridge for my kids God would I wouldn’t do to get my daughter a new wheelchair. I don’t know how much more I got in me. And this song broke me thank you so much god bless you are truly an amazing artist
I saw you play this song live for the VERY FIRST TIME in Stockholm, Sweden in February! Absolutely loved it then and as I do now. Come back to Sweden one day!
I’m very aware of Oliver Anthony, but this song popped up in my Pandora station and caught me completely off guard. Had a complete moment while mowing the grass. God bless Oliver Anthony.
I've never heard someone truly capture how I feel in my heart until now. We have to see it through to the other side, and the good lord can take me whenever he likes, but I will never give up hope. Never.
I love this one man it might be my favorite. Glad to see an artist like you representing the young country boys of America who are lost in a world that wants to leave them behind 🙏. More like this one brother, you clearly get it
some men sing for fame some for money Oliver sings for humanity
Stellar comment and so true !!
AMEN!!!!!
He ain’t singing for free 😂
@@dustinbailey9644 i never said he was i hope he does well he is getting it honest

This Man is blessed by the Lord. He is expressing what we are all feeling.
he may be the human voice of God himself sent here to preach the word to us blue collar/common folk

This line brings me to tears
Another quietly powerful banger. "When your whole damn country's been bought and sold..." Without Jesus Christ, we're not gonna make it outta this one.
Agreed along with the line re the cost of groceries.
Don’t think Jesus has anything to do with it. Has to do more with empathy for your community and respect for you neighbors
That's the truth! During the great depression ww1 and ww2. We stood tall with God and his sone Jesus Christ!!

Thank you brother stay focused on the message God is using you as a messenger to tell the lost about Jesus Christ. I’m praying for you
You have inspired me to start getting back in Gods word. Thank you.
This is GREAT to see !! He had said : Blessed are those who have seen me and believe, truly blessed are those that have not seen me yet believe.
This is by far the main reason I'm such a big fan of his. He's doing so much good and always gives God the glory.
Heard this in the Glasgow show.. what a night.. what a band. God bless
This is a true patriotic love song

Praise God for giving us another country gospel singer who sings from the heart
The best in country music. Love hearing him sing. Hope he never stops making music
Sir, you are a prophet, a voice for this generation. God has anointed you to speak.
"Don't Let The Land I Love, Die So Young" the existential dread i feel every day watching the world around me.
Facts
😩😩😩😩😩
This song was a hammer to my heart. Cracked it wide open can't stop crying. May God bless this land I love.

Amazing truthful lyrics. So powerful. The nation needs to hear that before it is too late.
I am afraid it is already to late! Love this country but think it is to deep gone to fix

"Momma's been hurting..Daddys been down"
I broke down after just hearing that one line. I try to stay strong for my wife and kids but I'm tired. I'm tired of making the most money I've ever made yet we're the poorest we've ever been.
God will help you Sir~ Pray, abide and trust God. I will pray for you. Blessings to you and your family🐑
I feel you. We'll hang in there together.
