Shows how much everyone is desperate for a real change. And something genuine. He’s speaking by for all of us. I think the reception is beautiful. Well deserved too. Gotta love music that comes directly from the soul. And the message too. I love that this song is blowing up in the way it is.
Have no shame, I did the same. I did not expect it. I have four sons, one in the service, two that are struggling. This hit home hard. I feel this song is going to stir something big in this country, this song is dangerously based and I hope the Rich Men North of Richmond are uneasy tonight. I am not a man driven to tears, this is a wake up call for me to how serious the crap we're in is. God bless you and yours, never give up, you're not alone.
I worked a lifetime, cared for my parents as they died in my arms, then Covid came and I lost everything I had. Bankrupt, lost my home, I’m living in a trailer in the Arizona desert. Im 60 and now have cancer, I’m just an old soul living in a nightmare world..
I'm a pretty hard nosed country girl and crying isn't normal for me but for some reason this song hit me really hard. I think it's all the stress I've been under just trying to feed my family and pay my bills. He's right. It's all just to much to bear anymore. Not sure how much longer I can hold it together 😞
When companies like Blackrock and Vanguard are together worth about 12 TRILLION dollars, wealthier than almost every country on Earth, yet we have so many working themselves to the bones trying to keep their head above water. Something is very wrong.
From the States and no one has ever heard of him. This is the song of the century and speaks to all of us around the world who are done with the elites pushing us down. It’s time to push back
We have to change what we put our attention to. Stop supporting everything they do and start supporting each other. Turn the bud light situation into their forever reality. Fighting them will never work, they benefit from every fight. Just ignore them, narcissists can't stand it 😂.
@@doloresparlato starts with everyday choices. Are your rituals serving you or someone else's pockets? Frequencies shape reality, when your life isn't going well, change the way you think. We all must stop our victim mentality and start planning/working to create the reality you see within your mind's eye. Build brick by brick until stability is achieved, then expand.
@@thedude5740 Small choices too, doesn't need to be fancy; you can't eat an elephant in one bite. And your absolutely right, start with the thoughts; all behaviors start there. Toughest thing I have ever done was reject the victim mentality that did not serve me well once the actual victimization ceased. I've grown out of a lot of friendship because it was not to my benefit to stay stuck. Ah, there's others out there who get it! I'm hopeful!
The line "Young men are putting themselves 6 feet in the ground because all this damn country does is keep on kicking them down" just hit so hard. A society that forgets about and doesn't care about their young men is in for a lot of trouble. Hollywood and everyone keeps telling these men that their toxic and women are brought up to hate men it's all heading down a path of destruction. Oliver touched on so many things, he just struck a cord because any sane person can see how bad things are getting. Plus I just love the title "Rich men north of Richmond" meaning Washington DC, it's just perfect! Love your reaction sir!
Agreed. Masculine men are valuable, valued and appreciated. It’s heartbreaking to see statistics here in Australia, and world wide of young male suicides, losing to the spirit of overwhelming hopelessness. Elites don’t care if people die, in fact that’s exactly what they want. Let’s hold our men up to stay strong. Both masculinity and femininity can be toxic. Love each other. It’s that simple. Much love from a fellow new Aussie fan🇦🇺💫💪🏽
I agree that the line hit incredibly hard, but I don't quite agree with your analysis of the problem. Young men are in trouble because they don't have a shot at a secure normal life. They need job opportunities where they can earn a decent living, enough to pay for groceries, rent, bills, healthcare, and yes even some spending money just to enjoy life. They need to not be worked to the bone, underpaid and undervalued. They ultra wealthy are bleeding young men dry to maximize their profits. Their greed knows no end.
Agree 100% with you! As a South African, this song brought me to tears. People all over the world, feeling hopeless and broken can FEEL Oliver's song right in the marrow of their bones ... I did. Great reaction ❤
I've seen comments from folks in the UK, Iceland, Germany, Brazil. Glad I get to add SA to that list. It seems to resonate across the world 💘 God bless you! 😊
This is awesome. From the farmers in SA, the truckers in Canada, Dutch farmers, insane lockdowns in Australia. . . Not to mention all the exploitation of underdeveloped countries. People, wake up. Your government don't care about you!
Hello to you in South Africa, I lived there for 20 years and I have been back home in the UK for a long time now. We are all suffering a similar problem wherever we are - it’s this WEF globalist plan.
You know something is true when it hurts. I´m Spanish and I have felt it into my bones, this song is not only about U.S. , this song is about all of us.
I hope not.. but this brought to tears….. this is got to be the song of the Century. I got imagine 90% of the people feel the same way, this song even if….. it just eats me up inside, we all need God, please pray for us all around the world
It wouldn’t matter even if he was a one hit wonder because this song alone blows %95 of this new country music out of the water. And it is better than any music made by CMT.
When he was quiet at the end and just restarted the song... I felt that. I did the same thing when I first heard it. It's insanely rare that a song just pierces the heart of the SO many issues. He did it tho.
@@ktmxcw4501 Same here. That silence after the song brought tears to my eyes like the first time I heard it. Best reaction video I've seen. Very moving.
I had the privilege of seeing this man perform live last night in Glasgow, Scotland. He is an incredibly normal guy, loves his fans, loves his life, and exudes morality. If he's performing near you, PLEASE buy tickets, I've been to some massive gigs, but this little 2000 capacity venue was by far the best. So much feeling amongst the crowd and coming from the stage. He is all of us ❤
I’m a Texan and we love a good revolution. This song is revolutionary. There could be lyrics for this song that would speak to local situations anywhere and still be globally understood. Talk about bringing the world together!!!
I'm a 62 yr old Canadian and this is where the world is at now. I've seen it change and it makes me cry. Maybe we can change it back? How bad will it get for my kids and Grand kids? Something has to happen. Please.
Early 30s here. Our generation and younger in the know realizes it's over. It's unsustainable and impossible to reverse, we're just hoping for the opportunity to pick up the pieces and rebuild when everyone else realizes it.
@@pocketsand4225 I'm in my early thirties as well and your defeatism is that exact mindset that is part of the problem. You think it is hopeless, so you would just lay down and hope not to die? You Fight. You Rage against that dark night and change it. It is never over till you say it's over.
@@terryhiggins5077I plan to FIGHT like the lives of my family is at stake…the people that are driving all of this are terrified that we will collectively just tell them to FO and what happens is….well history gives us examples after examples and the “Elites” always ALWAYS receive their just deserts! Keep the faith!!
i think theyre doing it because they want to hoard natural resources because the Sun is about to micronova and reset civilization in the next 50 years. Things are only going to get worse.
@@terryhiggins5077 That's why stuff like this song is so important. The true heart and soul of the US isn't in it's big cities or it's political establishment, it's in the blanket of free men and women spread out across this great land, and we need to be reminded that there are more of us than there are of anyone else in this country. We are tens of millions strong, and we ARE powerful. Powerful enough to change everything right now, this very fucking day, if we could just come together in the middle and realize who the true enemies are.
As a Black American I don't listen to country music but this song and Jason Aldean should make us all realize we have a lot more in common than not. Let's get together and get rid of the folks trying to divide us. At the end of the day poor doesn't have a color. Trump 2024
Amen. As a white woman I have always listen to soul, r&b music. We are all family no matter the culture, color, or belief. We need to somehow remember that. Much love brother ❤
I'm an old soul, 69 years old, I'm white male, I cry, seeing people all around the world relating to this song, I pray, this will bring everyone together, especially at this time in our world.
"Not just minors on an island somewhere." This line was the boldest line of all. I've been watching reaction videos, and some miss it, and some get it immediately. That issue should unite us all.
I actually, through Internet research, had new about Epstein island since 2018 and I’m just a normal working American lady in my 50s, I never told even closest friends about it because I knew it was too much and they wouldn’t believe it but in my heart, I truly felt when that came out, the world would change because it would be so outrageous. I’m so disappointed and sad and angry, that so many people know what it is and what it means and nothing has been done about it. Epstein has gotten off One way or another whether you think he killed himself whether you think they killed him or actually he is ghosted & is on an island somewhere, the hundreds of other people that did things to those kids have not paid, and nobody seems to care. 🤬🥺😭🙏
I think that line is a great indicator whether or not that reactor has an ear to the ground of what's been going on in the world. When you see them get it, it's like a moment where "Yeah, me and this reactor are on the same wavelength. We don't even have to say anything more to each other." It's like the line, "They think you don't know, but I know that you do." We're in the camp of "we do"... We know.
this man has made the world cry all at the same time with a guitar and a mic......one of the most moving songs I have ever heard, and I am a life long musician
I think one of his friends helped him record this in his backyard. He lives off the grid on a farm in West Virginia. We're all learning about him for the first time. Good soul. Talented soul
I am from germany, even over here this song catched fire - It's exactly what you said, all over the world the working people can relate to this song, can feel what he felt, writing this lyrics. I think everybody of us, knows some young man who's six feet under the ground by choosing so. Its the epidemic of pain and lonelyness.
This whole situation encapsulates the 99%. It's not a major celebrity, it's a common citizen making a song in the sticks not thinking it's going to be heard by many but ending up going world wide because everyone feels the same way. That's why this is going viral.
He’s from Appalachia America. The history of the Appalachian Mts is a big part of American history. When the big Irish immigration happened in the late 1700’s early 1800’s they didn’t find America to be the land of milk and honey as the east coast was mainly English or English decent people who treated them the same as in the British islands. Many moved west to the mountains to form their own communities and live free. They are still communities of people who love America but want to be left alone to live their lives. While many are poor or working class they still live self sufficient lives for the most part. In many ways the Appalachian people of America are some of the best of us. They never lost their drive to just say NO to tyranny, speak their minds and resist. My Irish ancestors came out west to Texas for the same reasons. Texas at the time was mostly populated by the Germans not the English and the Germans somehow didn’t get the memo of how the Irish were to be treated. We formed strong communities with the Germans. My Appalachian brother speaking truth. ❤️
We are our own people. Southern WV, Eastern KY, SW Virginia, Western NC, East TN and North Ga have more in common with each other than we do with the rest of our own states.
That pause you had speaks volumes. You were at a loss for words, and that’s exactly what us blue collar workers feel every day. This truly is the perfect song.
Here from the uk 🇬🇧 my wife and I cried when we heard this soulful song we are in our sixties it’s for the working classes we need fairness ✝️✝️🇬🇧✊🇺🇸❤️
Thomas Paine distributed a flyer called "Common Sense", (People had enough), it was a wakeup call that started the Revolutionary war. Be interesting to watch if Oliver just did the same w/this one simple heart felt song. Ya know? You do. Great reaction, he sung what was in our hearts and haven't said.
the thing is then, when Paine wrote, it would have taken any authority in the region of months or years to do anything about it. The Atlantic Ocean (for example) is not the natural barrier to tyranny it once was...
true, but that works both ways... It was never in the history possible to reach and (deeply) touch and motivate so many people so intense in such a short time... This WILL have consequences and I expect for the positive changes which are highly needed @@LordEriolTolkien
@@LordEriolTolkien Of course, I agree. But it still may be the spark to open eyes beyond the allegiance to said parties, citizens against the other, and realize it is our own Government that is against us all. I've been watching, not only America, but the world, the last twenty years and i have always said, the next big war won't be nation against nation, it will be the people against their own nations. If history has taught us anything... Something has to give.
Thanks for spreading the word about this powerful song and for your thoughtful comments. God bless the honest, hardworking people of this world. God help the tyrants who hold them down. Their days are numbered.
Couldn't have said it better... the men and women of the United States grow impatient with all these abuses. I've got a feeling history will soon repeat itself in the USA.
So many of us have become numb to our current situation. This man resurrected our angst. This song makes you FEEL again. Yes, I am an old soul in this new world.
#1 on Itunes. The world has been waiting for this song...for Oliver Anthony. Never has a song ripped my soul out like this. I can't even explain how this song makes me feel. Absolutely incredible!!
“Crappy jobs for crappy pay.” I spent decades breaking my back at factories. Scrubbing toilets, emptying garbage, mopping floors, trying to put shoes on my babies feet, for a pittance paycheck. Yup.
@@Spo-Dee-O-Dee you think immigrants are coming here to work? They’re already getting our tech and out-sourcing jobs. The migrants are coming here for the freebies…they get free housing, food, healthcare, phones, utilities. While we, working Americans have to pay for them and our own housing, food, healthcare, etc…
My fiance is from Tarneit(Melbourne), now here with me in the mountains of northern Arizona (culture shock). He's also a metalhead. This song brought him to tears. First thing said "This bloody well applies to Australia too". He has special distain for Dan Andrews 😂. This is a call for revolution.
@@ImPistolKnight yeah, he lived walking distance to the river & was commuting to the Bell Post area of Geelong. Ugh, traffic in Melbourne sounds like it's soul crushing as well. The peninsula sounds lovely though. We talk about Clifton Springs if Australia is ever on the table for us.
For the past couple of days, I've been captivated by these reaction videos. It's profoundly moving to observe the moment of realization on people's faces, when what they've always known deep within them rises to the surface. The voice of the silent majority, echoing from the heart of the Appalachian mountains, has a resonance that's incredibly touching people all over the world. ❤
My favorite are the left wing people reacting showing contempt on their face at first then 3 lines into the song it all melts away into raw emotion and tears. We all feel beat down right now.
@@Hardworkpays209100%. This song isn’t just right wing. It’s not white, black, yellow, etc. it’s everyone. Watching this reaction and reading the comments let’s me know it’s not just US Citizens that feel this way. It’s not just republicans or democrats. It’s not just left wing or right wing. It’s everyone world wide. It’s amazing.
You know it’s good when he’s silent and just rewinds the track. This song hits deep with every working class & poor person across the globe. How this man has united more people than all current governments combined is nothing short of inspiring
Oliver was making videos on his RUclips for a few months without a microphone or anything. This is his first song sung with a mic. I believe it brought all that emotion right out of him and this is the best piece of proper music with true emotion I have heard in a very long time. He is a backwoods folk singer and the people used to sing together in their porch to entertain and explain life. It’s really time it made a comeback!
The reason this song hits so GD hard is because we have all been living through a demoralization process. You just responded emotionally to it, it holds up the mirror of how insane this clown world has become. This will stir a spirit that has been long asleep. Can this awaken the sleeping giant ? I hope they sleep restless north of Richmond tonight.
I still love zooming in on the face of the people hearing this for the first time. You can’t even analyze it because this is a song that just evokes a feeling. We all cried and didn’t know why. To see other people hear it for the first time never gets old. I love to go back and watch these when o need good vibes and when I want to smile
When you finished the song, said nothing, then started it back over made me laugh so hard because that's same thing I did. Great reaction sir and a howdy from Texas.
The poor, the downtrodden and the persecuted of this world (not just in the USA). We ALL have a new Anthem to sing together and make the changes we need to make in order to make this life worth living. Thank you Oliver!
You know how great a song is by how wide the impact is felt. Here we are, you in Australia and myself in South Africa, affected in a similar way by Oliver's vocal delivery and his lyrics that express what we feel deep down. You have your own Rich Men, as do we here in SA. Stay well.
When it hits so hard it leaves you speechless for a minute and you need a moment to process your thoughts and your emotions. I'm right there with you brother, it was so genuine to just see you vibe and feel the song.
Your reaction to this song said it all! I had the same reaction, right after laying a friend to rest at the age of 30. Got heatstroke working overtime and later died from it. We're tired of it, tired of losing
Damn! The last time I heard a song that brought tears was Johnny Cash singing "Hurt". I'm not halfway into this song, and I'm tearing up. Both songs tell of universal truth. WOW! You nailed, it brother!
exactly what i am doing right now, this song truly is something else, almost enough to start a revolution. it feels as if he is channeling millions of working class people voices through his own. so incredibly powerful
this song has the potential to change the world I swear. Its resonates with everyone. First it makes you sad about the state of the world but the more you listen to it the more angry you'll get that the Rich Men North of Richmond are the cause of it all
I actually thought it impossible for anyone to make a song that I relate to anymore. God was I wrong. Felt every god damned syllable and every chord in my soul. Stay strong brothers! United we stand, divided we fall.
I’ve watched a TON of reactions on this song. Yours is by far my favorite. You can tell it is raw and real. You feel this song in your soul as do I. You got a new sub in me.
I have never been moved by a song like this did for me. The last time may have been 40 years ago in church. Awesome emotional experience. Thank you Anthony.
The lyrics are so powerful that so many of us are speechless after hearing it. We are speechless because the deep lyrics, and his powerful emotion which resonates with us all. It is clear to me that we all -HUMANITY- just want the same things in life. We must stop allowing the Government to divide us, and use us as their piggy banks. Our families fled that tyranny to come to a new world to start over. Slowly we allowed them to gain control of us -again. We cannot let them divide us anymore -- it is time to come together and reel in our Government before they truly destroy us.
If this doesn't hit your soul directly you don't have one. I cried when I first heard it. I wish i could just wake up and it not be true but it is... oh it is... a profound and sobering reality check. He struggled with alcohol and depression when he fell to his knees and prayed to God. God took all that from him. A West Virginia radio station posted this song just a few days ago. An overnight success. He said he's so surprised lol. People all over the world are resonating with this song. From Pakistan to South Africa to Vietnam to Europe. It's the most powerful song I've heard in a very long time. Completely authentic.
Love the fact that before you could respond, you had to hear it again. The emotion on your face and the blank stare right before hitting the play button again said more than words. This song will connect to millions who feel exactly the same all over the world.
Oliver has spoken to billions of hard working folks all around this planet! This man did something no one else could do and that was bringing all types of folks together to one understanding that we are being used for these “rich men” to get even richer! And yes WE ARE FED UP!!! It’s time for us to unite across this planet and let our voices be heard!!! 💯🇺🇸✌️
This man is incredibly talented. He sings straight to the soul. I am in the UK and I realise that ordinary working people like us, wherever we may be in the western world, are dealing with a common problem.
As a 20 year old, "living in a new world, with an old soul" is a line that makes me wanna cry, I wonder if my mom or my grandpa could eben be proud of a broken son/grandson when I have no fuckin clue what im supposed to do or why i was born in this time But somebody's gotta keep the old world alive somehow, and maybe that's why I'm here And I'll be damned if I let the old world go
Looks like this color revolution will be olive.... I believe you were born at this time for a reason, and it will be clear soon. Group -Hug and Bless you with love, light and luck.
That part resonated with me, as well. Seems like the world is constantly growing more "modern" whether anyone likes it or not. And based on talking to a lot of people I can say more people are displeased with the results. But unfortunately, some embrace it.
This man belongs with those like Pete Seeger, Guthrie, Reynolds...and so many more.. This is the amalgam of this Nations soul and our woe.. "!!!We are here...WE ARE HERE..WE ARE HERE !!!"
I dont cry much but this song hit my heart! This man singing facts! We all need to be singing facts like this and show the evil elites of this world we have had ENOUGH! God bless all!
This song made me shed tears. Not of sadness but of rage. Why did we let things get to this point? It also lit a fire in me. Maybe, listening maybe, we can turn it around. Heads we win, tails we lose. I'm willing to flip that coin.
He plays right handed when he's happy and left handed when he's sad. If been playing and singing since 1965 .im still crying every time I listen to it. Talent you say more like the lords angle sent to heal our country. Love to all from a fellow american
The working man's anthem. Great review brother. You did this song justice. I've always said what's happening in the US is going on around the world. We only have one life, one world and we are living it together
There's so much truth, authenticity in him & his music.... Thank you Oliver, you're speaking for generations. God bless you & your family/ friends. 🙏⚖️🇺🇸🦅🇺🇸⚖️🙏
What's sad is how many out there aren't going to give this a chance because some TV talking-head are now trying to label this "right-wing" and full of "conspiracies". It's crazy.
The Truth you just barked about the ones who do not feel this song is as powerful as the reaction I just watched from the song that has set my soul free. Thank you brother for saying something I've been wanting to say also.
Sometimes the best reactions are no reactions. It is a powerful song straight from the Heart of the working class in this world. It brought me to tears. I had to listen to it a dozen times for it to fully sink in. Thanks for playing it again .
Awesome song! Gave me goosebumps..from the heart and soul. Kudos to Oliver Anthony! This man represents/speaks for the hard working Americans..working hard and going nowhere but down. It simply says what’s going on today in this new world. This song has gone to #1 on iTunes. People are fed up..Americans are speaking through the song.
Your silence after the ending said it all. That was exactly my reaction. It is so much to unpack. So much emotion and soul its hard to not get the feels. Every hardworking person truly understands the sacrifice. Its a worldwide issue just like you said. For those that felt this song on a personal level, support Oliver Anthony and follow his career. We all need a voice.
man im almost 28 years old... i cant imagine being in my 40s trying to support my kids in this world... all of us hard working men/women get completely fucked day in and out by the ones with power... The words Oliver Anthony sung in this brings tears to my eyes... we need a change in this world.
Your reaction was just like mine. I was full of emotion and speechless. Had to listen to it again. It hits so damn hard. Amazing reaction to a very powerful song. #RichMenNorthOfRichmond
This song has broken ne, Mom just passed away my dad busted his ass doubLes, days off doubles..He is almost 80 this song makes me think of him..THe emotion..IM a vet with a knee that is totally screwed ITS DONE, GONE, THREW, and my lower back gone!! Been to the V.A. 8x in 6 weeks fir help but canT get any , ALL I GOT WAS EXCUSES WHY TGEY CANT HELP ME!! WELL DONE OLIVER ANTHONY THANK YOU SIR!!
@@PatrolNationseems a new bob Dylan in this century has risen..the voice of all America in a tune and chords ..this man will lead a new time a new movement in America
He never said “left wing”, “right wing”, “republican”, or “democrat”. He tore through the superficiality of “politics” and diagnosed the real cause. And yet, every one knows who he was talking about. That’s how you know that “they don’t think you know, but I know that you do.”
I am NOT country but I’ve recently been introduced to Upchurch so I’ve opened my mind a bit. This is amazing! Harsh but truth. Def the whole world. He’s put so much emotion in this song.
There are reactions where they pause after every line and give feedback immediately. But then theres the reaction when you listen to it and try to do the same thing... but realize you need to listen to it all the way through without a single response. Because you know exactly what hes saying.... you just need to hear it all in one go. I relisten to this song every once in a while, and listen to reactions just as often, just to make sure the same feeling is still fresh. It is a lot like picking at a scab; but that is needed every once in a while. We all get numb to the bullshit, but we need to make sure we poke the bruise every once in a while to remind ourselves "Yeah, that shit still hurts."
Western Australia ❤this song is 4 all the hard working class man who work there asses of all around the world who get taxed hard to keep the average man and women down…fantastic song with a message that everyone feels right now.🐨🇦🇺🇦🇺
“I’ve never heard Oliver before.” Until 48 hours ago, no one had. Now it looks like all of Western Civilization is singing his song.
Shows how much everyone is desperate for a real change. And something genuine. He’s speaking by for all of us. I think the reception is beautiful. Well deserved too. Gotta love music that comes directly from the soul. And the message too. I love that this song is blowing up in the way it is.
The whole world is singing this song

As a hard working father of 4, this song broke me. I cried. Well done sir.
Have no shame, I did the same. I did not expect it. I have four sons, one in the service, two that are struggling. This hit home hard. I feel this song is going to stir something big in this country, this song is dangerously based and I hope the Rich Men North of Richmond are uneasy tonight. I am not a man driven to tears, this is a wake up call for me to how serious the crap we're in is. God bless you and yours, never give up, you're not alone.

The line about "young men" gets me everytime :( 💔😭😭😭😭😭😭😭😭
@@michaelriddick7116same here that line brought me to tears. no one acknowledges what is happening to young men these days.

When companies like Blackrock and Vanguard are together worth about 12 TRILLION dollars, wealthier than almost every country on Earth, yet we have so many working themselves to the bones trying to keep their head above water. Something is very wrong.
From literally "crying out in the woods" to being "the war cry of good honest working souls - Worldwide" this song is an anthem!! Love from India.

It's been the single greatest unifiyer for us dare I since the start of the Global War on Terror
Oh man, EXCELLENT comment Sir/Ma'am.
Facts!🤙🏾🙏🏾
No, politicians have been actively, with the help of 3 letter agencies, so_os, and the media to destroy unity.

From the States and no one has ever heard of him. This is the song of the century and speaks to all of us around the world who are done with the elites pushing us down. It’s time to push back

The line "Young men are putting themselves 6 feet in the ground because all this damn country does is keep on kicking them down" just hit so hard. A society that forgets about and doesn't care about their young men is in for a lot of trouble. Hollywood and everyone keeps telling these men that their toxic and women are brought up to hate men it's all heading down a path of destruction. Oliver touched on so many things, he just struck a cord because any sane person can see how bad things are getting. Plus I just love the title "Rich men north of Richmond" meaning Washington DC, it's just perfect! Love your reaction sir!
Forget about the young men until they are needed for their.fake wars.
Agreed. Masculine men are valuable, valued and appreciated. It’s heartbreaking to see statistics here in Australia, and world wide of young male suicides, losing to the spirit of overwhelming hopelessness. Elites don’t care if people die, in fact that’s exactly what they want. Let’s hold our men up to stay strong. Both masculinity and femininity can be toxic. Love each other. It’s that simple.
Much love from a fellow new Aussie fan🇦🇺💫💪🏽
@@iamacalmocean2080this world will collapse without masculine men!!
And Baltimore, MD, and NY.......
I agree that the line hit incredibly hard, but I don't quite agree with your analysis of the problem. Young men are in trouble because they don't have a shot at a secure normal life. They need job opportunities where they can earn a decent living, enough to pay for groceries, rent, bills, healthcare, and yes even some spending money just to enjoy life. They need to not be worked to the bone, underpaid and undervalued. They ultra wealthy are bleeding young men dry to maximize their profits. Their greed knows no end.
Agree 100% with you!
As a South African, this song brought me to tears. People all over the world, feeling hopeless and broken can FEEL Oliver's song right in the marrow of their bones ... I did.
Great reaction
❤
If Oliver were a farmer in your country he'd probably get butchered by your "Govt"
I've seen comments from folks in the UK, Iceland, Germany, Brazil. Glad I get to add SA to that list. It seems to resonate across the world 💘 God bless you! 😊
This is awesome. From the farmers in SA, the truckers in Canada, Dutch farmers, insane lockdowns in Australia. . . Not to mention all the exploitation of underdeveloped countries. People, wake up. Your government don't care about you!
Hello to you in South Africa, I lived there for 20 years and I have been back home in the UK for a long time now. We are all suffering a similar problem wherever we are - it’s this WEF globalist plan.
As a cuban-american, this has hit me in the feels. I'm so done with this life.
A moment of silence. Then a complete replay of the song, uninterrupted. There’s no compliment higher than that. Great reaction video. +1 sub.
I cried when he did that 😢... He got the lyrics right away... ❤
Same.
Same. I came here to try and articulate that. But you did it for me. Thank you
You know something is true when it hurts. I´m Spanish and I have felt it into my bones, this song is not only about U.S. , this song is about all of us.
Jose, it tore me up as well
TRUTH
Preach, brother… Greetings from San Antonio Texas.
World wide
Greetings from Germany, where this is felt as well...
If you think this guy's a one hit wonder you thought wrong. Every song that he sings is this powerful.
I hope not.. but this brought to tears….. this is got to be the song of the Century. I got imagine 90% of the people feel the same way, this song even if….. it just eats me up inside, we all need God, please pray for us all around the world
The channel that released the video has a bunch of artist that can sing their arses off!
@davidson692ify radiowv... definitely a great channel with these kind of artists...
It wouldn’t matter even if he was a one hit wonder because this song alone blows %95 of this new country music out of the water. And it is better than any music made by CMT.
I just checked iTunes and he has 10 songs in the top 20, with this one being #1
I'm from rural Texas. My people feel this everyday. Thank you for your honest and heartfelt reaction.
Texas forever

@@carl8229 refresh it!
We're feeling it in every state.
🫶🏻
When he was quiet at the end and just restarted the song... I felt that. I did the same thing when I first heard it. It's insanely rare that a song just pierces the heart of the SO many issues. He did it tho.
this is exactly how i feel about the song. it makes my heart ache in a way i haven’t felt in a while
Exactly
I was gonna comment on that as well. No words were needed. Every time i hear it im just blown away and just think.
@@ktmxcw4501 Same here. That silence after the song brought tears to my eyes like the first time I heard it. Best reaction video I've seen. Very moving.
ruclips.net/video/J7jRzGfZFUg/видео.html Some blue grass.
I had the privilege of seeing this man perform live last night in Glasgow, Scotland. He is an incredibly normal guy, loves his fans, loves his life, and exudes morality. If he's performing near you, PLEASE buy tickets, I've been to some massive gigs, but this little 2000 capacity venue was by far the best. So much feeling amongst the crowd and coming from the stage. He is all of us ❤
I'm seeing him in the O2 Academy next February! Can't wait 😁
I’m a Texan and we love a good revolution. This song is revolutionary. There could be lyrics for this song that would speak to local situations anywhere and still be globally understood. Talk about bringing the world together!!!
The elites idea is a good one tbh. But it needs to be done OUR WAY.
So global unity without overbearing governments everywhere.
E can't absolve ourselves of the duty to protect against the tyranny
You are correct sir!!!
I am from Germany, Berlin and I absolutly can feel like You and Oliver... He found the right words... may men are afraid to say...
I'm a 62 yr old Canadian and this is where the world is at now. I've seen it change and it makes me cry. Maybe we can change it back? How bad will it get for my kids and Grand kids? Something has to happen. Please.
Early 30s here. Our generation and younger in the know realizes it's over. It's unsustainable and impossible to reverse, we're just hoping for the opportunity to pick up the pieces and rebuild when everyone else realizes it.
@@pocketsand4225 I'm in my early thirties as well and your defeatism is that exact mindset that is part of the problem. You think it is hopeless, so you would just lay down and hope not to die? You Fight. You Rage against that dark night and change it. It is never over till you say it's over.
@@terryhiggins5077I plan to FIGHT like the lives of my family is at stake…the people that are driving all of this are terrified that we will collectively just tell them to FO and what happens is….well history gives us examples after examples and the “Elites” always ALWAYS receive their just deserts! Keep the faith!!
i think theyre doing it because they want to hoard natural resources because the Sun is about to micronova and reset civilization in the next 50 years. Things are only going to get worse.
@@terryhiggins5077 That's why stuff like this song is so important. The true heart and soul of the US isn't in it's big cities or it's political establishment, it's in the blanket of free men and women spread out across this great land, and we need to be reminded that there are more of us than there are of anyone else in this country. We are tens of millions strong, and we ARE powerful. Powerful enough to change everything right now, this very fucking day, if we could just come together in the middle and realize who the true enemies are.
North of Richmond is Washington DC!!!!!!
That's what I thought, but wasn't sure.

As a Black American I don't listen to country music but this song and Jason Aldean should make us all realize we have a lot more in common than not. Let's get together and get rid of the folks trying to divide us. At the end of the day poor doesn't have a color. Trump 2024
they are trying really hard to put him in prison ... Trump 2024
They want us divided. They fear us, united.
Amen. As a white woman I have always listen to soul, r&b music. We are all family no matter the culture, color, or belief. We need to somehow remember that. Much love brother ❤

This song is good. The Jason Andean song is complete ass😂
I'm an old soul, 69 years old, I'm white male, I cry, seeing people all around the world relating to this song, I pray, this will bring everyone together, especially at this time in our world.
Beautiful ❤

"Not just minors on an island somewhere." This line was the boldest line of all. I've been watching reaction videos, and some miss it, and some get it immediately. That issue should unite us all.
Also nice Homophone
Amen
I actually, through Internet research, had new about Epstein island since 2018 and I’m just a normal working American lady in my 50s, I never told even closest friends about it because I knew it was too much and they wouldn’t believe it but in my heart, I truly felt when that came out, the world would change because it would be so outrageous. I’m so disappointed and sad and angry, that so many people know what it is and what it means and nothing has been done about it. Epstein has gotten off One way or another whether you think he killed himself whether you think they killed him or actually he is ghosted & is on an island somewhere, the hundreds of other people that did things to those kids have not paid, and nobody seems to care. 🤬🥺😭🙏
I think that line is a great indicator whether or not that reactor has an ear to the ground of what's been going on in the world.
When you see them get it, it's like a moment where "Yeah, me and this reactor are on the same wavelength. We don't even have to say anything more to each other."
It's like the line, "They think you don't know, but I know that you do." We're in the camp of "we do"... We know.
this man has made the world cry all at the same time with a guitar and a mic......one of the most moving songs I have ever heard, and I am a life long musician
I think one of his friends helped him record this in his backyard. He lives off the grid on a farm in West Virginia. We're all learning about him for the first time. Good soul. Talented soul
It was a local radio station, they came to his house and did this video. This was the first time he ever recorded into a professional microphone.
he's from Farmville, Virginia about 30 minutes east of where I'm from. No offense to the West Virginia folks, but this one is ours.
Not West Virginia, he's in Virginia
@@Jusoonyall should've promoted him, let WV radio take him right out from under yuns😂
I think this beautiful old soul can be claimed by all of us!
The second he hit replay..... that's how I felt. So much truth to take in.
EXACTLY!
I am from germany, even over here this song catched fire - It's exactly what you said, all over the world the working people can relate to this song, can feel what he felt, writing this lyrics. I think everybody of us, knows some young man who's six feet under the ground by choosing so. Its the epidemic of pain and lonelyness.
We all need united
You are not alone my friend. It’s a cry for Freedom.

Le même sentiment profond existe aussi en France. Et dans beaucoup de pays du monde je crois.

Ive listened to this song at least 50 times and i still get goosebumps every time
Same here!
Right there with ya
Me too…. More tears… so much damage, pain….. we are tired.
Same
This whole situation encapsulates the 99%. It's not a major celebrity, it's a common citizen making a song in the sticks not thinking it's going to be heard by many but ending up going world wide because everyone feels the same way. That's why this is going viral.
Exactly what happened. Watch the video he posted before the song was released.
Yep, I'm a hard working 50 year old American man and this song brought me to tears. You know it's the truth when it penetrates that deep.
Agree, this is what truth feels like
He’s from Appalachia America. The history of the Appalachian Mts is a big part of American history. When the big Irish immigration happened in the late 1700’s early 1800’s they didn’t find America to be the land of milk and honey as the east coast was mainly English or English decent people who treated them the same as in the British islands. Many moved west to the mountains to form their own communities and live free. They are still communities of people who love America but want to be left alone to live their lives. While many are poor or working class they still live self sufficient lives for the most part. In many ways the Appalachian people of America are some of the best of us. They never lost their drive to just say NO to tyranny, speak their minds and resist. My Irish ancestors came out west to Texas for the same reasons. Texas at the time was mostly populated by the Germans not the English and the Germans somehow didn’t get the memo of how the Irish were to be treated. We formed strong communities with the Germans.
My Appalachian brother speaking truth. ❤️

We are our own people. Southern WV, Eastern KY, SW Virginia, Western NC, East TN and North Ga have more in common with each other than we do with the rest of our own states.

Here comes all the clowns claiming this dude. He's from Virginia and he's American. Thats it folks. Stop the nonsense.
@@johnathoncastroI mean, isn't Appalachia part of NW Virginia?
That pause you had speaks volumes. You were at a loss for words, and that’s exactly what us blue collar workers feel every day. This truly is the perfect song.
Here from the uk 🇬🇧 my wife and I cried when we heard this soulful song we are in our sixties it’s for the working classes we need fairness ✝️✝️🇬🇧✊🇺🇸❤️
In less than twenty four hours of the song being released, it hit number one on itunes.
How's that for a temperature check?
Been out for 6 days
what's the fastest? this has to be close
Thomas Paine distributed a flyer called "Common Sense", (People had enough), it was a wakeup call that started the Revolutionary war. Be interesting to watch if Oliver just did the same w/this one simple heart felt song. Ya know? You do. Great reaction, he sung what was in our hearts and haven't said.
the thing is then, when Paine wrote, it would have taken any authority in the region of months or years to do anything about it. The Atlantic Ocean (for example) is not the natural barrier to tyranny it once was...
Oh it's the anthem for the coming civil war for sure. The words are subtle but powerful and resonate with common men
@@koruoverland civil war is people against people. Revolution is people against the government. I pray it's not a civil war.
true, but that works both ways... It was never in the history possible to reach and (deeply) touch and motivate so many people so intense in such a short time... This WILL have consequences and I expect for the positive changes which are highly needed @@LordEriolTolkien
@@LordEriolTolkien Of course, I agree. But it still may be the spark to open eyes beyond the allegiance to said parties, citizens against the other, and realize it is our own Government that is against us all.
I've been watching, not only America, but the world, the last twenty years and i have always said, the next big war won't be nation against nation, it will be the people against their own nations.
If history has taught us anything... Something has to give.
Every inch of this song is packed with emotion and facts. Solid gold. And not auto tuned corporate garbage music.
Yup, Ed Sheeran and Taylor Swift could never have written or sung a song like that.
A singer that's instantly become a national fucking treasure - regardless of what nation you're from. We're all in the same boat now.

That’s a rally cry and an absolute shot across the bow of Washington!!and I believe it’s a the starting gun for much more heart felt music to come
Let's hope so.
Thats exactly how I felt
Thanks for spreading the word about this powerful song and for your thoughtful comments. God bless the honest, hardworking people of this world. God help the tyrants who hold them down. Their days are numbered.
GOD is exposing them, so you could understand who you follow when far from Him. Read Jésus again
Couldn't have said it better... the men and women of the United States grow impatient with all these abuses. I've got a feeling history will soon repeat itself in the USA.
I’m from the UK I felt every word of this song it’s so beautiful .real /raw talent telling the truth.
So many of us have become numb to our current situation. This man resurrected our angst. This song makes you FEEL again. Yes, I am an old soul in this new world.
PERFECTLY SAID MY FRIEND!!
#1 on Itunes. The world has been waiting for this song...for Oliver Anthony. Never has a song ripped my soul out like this. I can't even explain how this song makes me feel. Absolutely incredible!!
It feels like a worldwide anthem. It feels like a battle cry. We are so done. He was raw. I think all of shed a tear or twenty
“Crappy jobs for crappy pay.”

@@Spo-Dee-O-Dee you think immigrants are coming here to work? They’re already getting our tech and out-sourcing jobs.

My fiance is from Tarneit(Melbourne), now here with me in the mountains of northern Arizona (culture shock). He's also a metalhead. This song brought him to tears. First thing said "This bloody well applies to Australia too". He has special distain for Dan Andrews 😂.
This is a call for revolution.

For the past couple of days, I've been captivated by these reaction videos. It's profoundly moving to observe the moment of realization on people's faces, when what they've always known deep within them rises to the surface. The voice of the silent majority, echoing from the heart of the Appalachian mountains, has a resonance that's incredibly touching people all over the world. ❤
My favorite are the left wing people reacting showing contempt on their face at first then 3 lines into the song it all melts away into raw emotion and tears. We all feel beat down right now.
@@Hardworkpays209100%. This song isn’t just right wing. It’s not white, black, yellow, etc. it’s everyone. Watching this reaction and reading the comments let’s me know it’s not just US Citizens that feel this way. It’s not just republicans or democrats. It’s not just left wing or right wing. It’s everyone world wide. It’s amazing.
You know it’s good when he’s silent and just rewinds the track. This song hits deep with every working class & poor person across the globe. How this man has united more people than all current governments combined is nothing short of inspiring
Oliver was making videos on his RUclips for a few months without a microphone or anything. This is his first song sung with a mic. I believe it brought all that emotion right out of him and this is the best piece of proper music with true emotion I have heard in a very long time. He is a backwoods folk singer and the people used to sing together in their porch to entertain and explain life. It’s really time it made a comeback!
This guy is belting the truth out of his mouth like bullets. Simply amazing and inspiring.
The reason this song hits so GD hard is because we have all been living through a demoralization process. You just responded emotionally to it, it holds up the mirror of how insane this clown world has become. This will stir a spirit that has been long asleep. Can this awaken the sleeping giant ? I hope they sleep restless north of Richmond tonight.
Your Reaction was brilliant. The amount of Respect you had for him was immense. I really enjoyed watching this. Thank you 😊
I still love zooming in on the face of the people hearing this for the first time. You can’t even analyze it because this is a song that just evokes a feeling. We all cried and didn’t know why. To see other people hear it for the first time never gets old. I love to go back and watch these when o need good vibes and when I want to smile
I've never seen a utube host pin drop silent. It is a Powerful Anthem about real life TODAY. God Bless you 🙏🕊️🙏
This song resonates with people all over the world these days not just America, incredible
When you finished the song, said nothing, then started it back over made me laugh so hard because that's same thing I did. Great reaction sir and a howdy from Texas.
The poor, the downtrodden and the persecuted of this world (not just in the USA). We ALL have a new Anthem to sing together and make the changes we need to make in order to make this life worth living. Thank you Oliver!
You know how great a song is by how wide the impact is felt. Here we are, you in Australia and myself in South Africa, affected in a similar way by Oliver's vocal delivery and his lyrics that express what we feel deep down. You have your own Rich Men, as do we here in SA. Stay well.
I agree, and it is the same here in Canada!
The song is striking a chord worldwide because it speaks the truth for so many who are being pushed down. Thanks for sharing it, too!
When it hits so hard it leaves you speechless for a minute and you need a moment to process your thoughts and your emotions. I'm right there with you brother, it was so genuine to just see you vibe and feel the song.
Your reaction to this song said it all! I had the same reaction, right after laying a friend to rest at the age of 30. Got heatstroke working overtime and later died from it. We're tired of it, tired of losing
Damn! The last time I heard a song that brought tears was Johnny Cash singing "Hurt". I'm not halfway into this song, and I'm tearing up. Both songs tell of universal truth. WOW! You nailed, it brother!
Couldn't possibly agree more..
It tore me up...Best wishes for you and yours 💙
I looked him up on Spotify and he has something to say in every song. This guy is AWESOME.
Let's hype up him up folks. Thank you for supporting my boy!!
So powerful. I can't stop watching these reaction videos. Love seeing someone hear it the first time
exactly what i am doing right now, this song truly is something else, almost enough to start a revolution. it feels as if he is channeling millions of working class people voices through his own. so incredibly powerful
I'm riding shotgun with ya!
I'm right there too.
I've been watching these reactions for hours. It makes me so hopeful and feel so much less alone to know we all feel this way, the world over.
this song has the potential to change the world I swear. Its resonates with everyone. First it makes you sad about the state of the world but the more you listen to it the more angry you'll get that the Rich Men North of Richmond are the cause of it all
I actually thought it impossible for anyone to make a song that I relate to anymore.
God was I wrong. Felt every god damned syllable and every chord in my soul. Stay strong brothers! United we stand, divided we fall.
I’ve watched a TON of reactions on this song. Yours is by far my favorite. You can tell it is raw and real. You feel this song in your soul as do I. You got a new sub in me.
I have never been moved by a song like this did for me. The last time may have been 40 years ago in church. Awesome emotional experience. Thank you Anthony.
The lyrics are so powerful that so many of us are speechless after hearing it. We are speechless because the deep lyrics, and his powerful emotion which resonates with us all. It is clear to me that we all -HUMANITY- just want the same things in life. We must stop allowing the Government to divide us, and use us as their piggy banks. Our families fled that tyranny to come to a new world to start over. Slowly we allowed them to gain control of us -again. We cannot let them divide us anymore -- it is time to come together and reel in our Government before they truly destroy us.
If this doesn't hit your soul directly you don't have one. I cried when I first heard it.
I wish i could just wake up and it not be true but it is... oh it is... a profound and sobering reality check.
He struggled with alcohol and depression when he fell to his knees and prayed to God. God took all that from him.
A West Virginia radio station posted this song just a few days ago. An overnight success. He said he's so surprised lol.
People all over the world are resonating with this song. From Pakistan to South Africa to Vietnam to Europe. It's the most powerful song I've heard in a very long time. Completely authentic.
Love the fact that before you could respond, you had to hear it again. The emotion on your face and the blank stare right before hitting the play button again said more than words. This song will connect to millions who feel exactly the same all over the world.
Oliver has spoken to billions of hard working folks all around this planet! This man did something no one else could do and that was bringing all types of folks together to one understanding that we are being used for these “rich men” to get even richer! And yes WE ARE FED UP!!! It’s time for us to unite across this planet and let our voices be heard!!! 💯🇺🇸✌️
This man is incredibly talented. He sings straight to the soul. I am in the UK and I realise that ordinary working people like us, wherever we may be in the western world, are dealing with a common problem.
As a 20 year old, "living in a new world, with an old soul" is a line that makes me wanna cry, I wonder if my mom or my grandpa could eben be proud of a broken son/grandson when I have no fuckin clue what im supposed to do or why i was born in this time
But somebody's gotta keep the old world alive somehow, and maybe that's why I'm here
And I'll be damned if I let the old world go
Looks like this color revolution will be olive.... I believe you were born at this time for a reason, and it will be clear soon. Group -Hug and Bless you with love, light and luck.
That part resonated with me, as well. Seems like the world is constantly growing more "modern" whether anyone likes it or not. And based on talking to a lot of people I can say more people are displeased with the results. But unfortunately, some embrace it.
I’m 59 solidarity brother

I dont cry much but this song hit my heart! This man singing facts! We all need to be singing facts like this and show the evil elites of this world we have had ENOUGH! God bless all!
I love the response after listening to the song; a quiet pause and then replay the song. That is the most natural response to hearing it.
Bro, the emotion in your face when you replayed the video was as intense as the song. Thanks for an honest reaction, ❤
This song made me shed tears. Not of sadness but of rage. Why did we let things get to this point? It also lit a fire in me. Maybe, listening maybe, we can turn it around. Heads we win, tails we lose. I'm willing to flip that coin.
Bravo
Toss it up
Watched a quadrillion reaction videos and yours is by far on of the most sincere. Shout out from the Netherlands.
Hahahaha! I did the same thing when the song was over. I sat there........and played it again. And then again.
I love this guy even more now for being able to react to his own song never breaking character. There is no limit to this man’s talent.
lol!
😂😂😂
He plays right handed when he's happy and left handed when he's sad. If been playing and singing since 1965 .im still crying every time I listen to it. Talent you say more like the lords angle sent to heal our country. Love to all from a fellow american
Helluva post. 👍
The working man's anthem. Great review brother. You did this song justice. I've always said what's happening in the US is going on around the world. We only have one life, one world and we are living it together
It’s prob been said already but I encourage everyone to give his other songs a listen as well!! This dude is a force of nature 🤘🏻
Agreed! I listened to 4 or 5 in one sitting. Amazing soloist on the guitar, vocals, and lyrics!
Ain’t got a dollar is freaking great as well
Silence and replay the song is the right response 👍
There's so much truth, authenticity in him & his music....

@@feintcirclesI don’t think it will work. The moment you hear this it cuts all bullshit.
The Truth you just barked about the ones who do not feel this song is as powerful as the reaction I just watched from the song that has set my soul free. Thank you brother for saying something I've been wanting to say also.
The more awake you are, the more this song hurts.
Sometimes the best reactions are no reactions. It is a powerful song straight from the Heart of the working class in this world. It brought me to tears. I had to listen to it a dozen times for it to fully sink in. Thanks for playing it again .
Awesome song! Gave me goosebumps..from the heart and soul. Kudos to Oliver Anthony! This man represents/speaks for the hard working Americans..working hard and going nowhere but down. It simply says what’s going on today in this new world. This song has gone to #1 on iTunes. People are fed up..Americans are speaking through the song.
This song digs into your soul😥😥😥🙏🙏🙏❤️❤️😥🇺🇸
Your silence after the ending said it all. That was exactly my reaction. It is so much to unpack. So much emotion and soul its hard to not get the feels. Every hardworking person truly understands the sacrifice. Its a worldwide issue just like you said. For those that felt this song on a personal level, support Oliver Anthony and follow his career. We all need a voice.

He never said “left wing”, “right wing”, “republican”, or “democrat”. He tore through the superficiality of “politics” and diagnosed the real cause. And yet, every one knows who he was talking about. That’s how you know that “they don’t think you know, but I know that you do.”
as he says, "Lord knows, they all want total control." he perceives correctly--not a partisan concern.
It's not about politics per se it's about who's in control.
I am NOT country but I’ve recently been introduced to Upchurch so I’ve opened my mind a bit. This is amazing! Harsh but truth. Def the whole world. He’s put so much emotion in this song.
There are reactions where they pause after every line and give feedback immediately. But then theres the reaction when you listen to it and try to do the same thing... but realize you need to listen to it all the way through without a single response. Because you know exactly what hes saying.... you just need to hear it all in one go. I relisten to this song every once in a while, and listen to reactions just as often, just to make sure the same feeling is still fresh. It is a lot like picking at a scab; but that is needed every once in a while. We all get numb to the bullshit, but we need to make sure we poke the bruise every once in a while to remind ourselves "Yeah, that shit still hurts."
