I don't even call what they play on country radio "country" anymore, I simply refer to it as "Nashville"....."garbage" works too. This song, on the other hand, is the real deal.
Seriously Colby, this song is your masterpiece. My 82 year old grandma insisted I make a CD for her to listen at home. Her jaw dropped open when I read the lyrics to her. Her comment was "I can't believe how apropos these lyrics are for our time". She was born the year The Great Depression started. She tells me she's never seen anything like this before, but your song captured everything she's been feeling. This is a song that will stretch generations, and it already has.
"The best of it all is they'll comply with their demise" i am no believer of faith but i see the devil in my fellow man and this is exactly how it's playing out
This is honestly one of the best written songs I've heard in years. I'm ill at home teaching myself to play this, and honestly it's getting me through this illness. I can't believe what an amazing songwriter Acuff is, and how I didn't come across him earlier.
This is literally my favorite song. I actually heard this while listening to Ian Noe. He’s from Kentucky, along with good ol Tyler Childers. Colby Acuff is one of those who will save country music. Especially this kind of music. Thank you for my new favorite song.
Enjoy the Lyrics: If I were the devil, first thing that’d I’d do Is I’d come off as somebody who gave a damn about you I’d let you catch a peak of all your greatest desires And I’d watch the flames in your eyes burn like hell fire Find all the wolves, in the land And I’d make them fight each other Tooth and nail and hand to hand Find all the sheep, make ‘em stir up the pot ‘cause once the wolves have killed each other, sheep are what I want The devil walks among us friends, I know this is true And I don’t know if he’s red, and I don’t know if he’s blue One thing that I know we need to take a look around If I were the devil, this world would be my playground
‘Cause I’d place that thorny crown on my furrowed brow Well I’d shine in all the tears of joy, yelling from the crowd I’d want to brain wash some parents, and I’d have the world I’ll be in every schoolhouse lecturing little boys and girls
The devil walks among us friends, I know this is true And I don’t know if it’s me, and I don’t know if it’s you But one thing that I know we need to take a look around If I were the devil, this world would be my playground
For my final act, I’ll tell you what’d it’d be I’d have everyone so medicated, they could never see My cloven hooves or horned head would be all disguised And the best part of it all, is they’d comply with their demise
The devil walks among us friends, I know this is true And I don’t know if it’s me, and I don’t know if it’s you But one thing that I know we need to take a look around If I were the devil, this world would be my playground
If I were the devil, and this world was mine to see Well id see all the atrocities and it’d probably frighten me So I’d run back home, with a story to tell I’d tell all my demon friends that I always preferred hell
My grandpa always loved country music. He introduced me to Willie, Waylon, and Cash. I still love real country and spurn pop country because of him and I believe he would enjoy this man's music as much as I do.
That’s funny, take all the wolves and make them fight, it would be like gathering the people who start wars and having them fight it out instead the rest of us. And the devil would be a set of beliefs between a generation, passed down to the next. Some terrible idea. The reason why the song is so scary, it’s probably because it’s true. Who or what is all behind all these horrible things orchestrated it all starts with one person. So many people live in fear so many people live in dogma. This song is truly a masterpiece.
Yeah I've always thought putting all those who are about the fighting,killing,looting,burning, just take em all put em together n let em do what they wish and leave the people who's only intentions is to keep their family and loved ones safe, alone. The only way I'd kill someone is if they are harming someone in my family or anyone that they're forcing their will on and willing to take a life in the process (color of your skin won't be a deciding a factor). I was a firefighter so I'm passionate about saving/aiding someone whos in a tight spot with a life threatening issue, whatever it may be, taking a life is something that I hope I never ever have to do. I hope y'all have a good day and stay safe out there everyone.
He isn't exactly talking about "people who start wars". He is saying wolf in the context of those strong enough to stand up and fight for themselves. The next verse tells the tale, "‘cause once the wolves have killed each other, sheep are what I want". Sheep follow blindly, scare easily, and do as told.
I found this song randomly last night. I’ve listened dozens of times; amazing, love it, was looking for Paul Harvey last night and found this and was so joyfully surprised. Love the song and love this acoustic even more
Never stop asking questions, never stop seeing the world as it can be, and don’t be fooled out of seeing it for what it is. We’re in the peak of the Mis-Information age.
Bet I've listened to this song over a 💯 times in just over WK or so, since I first heard it. Fastly becoming one my of my all time favorite songs. Gotta know though is this based off Paul Harvey (if I were the Devil?)
i think they're trying to silence Colby. His message is too string for the devils that walk among us. The wolves in the land will adapt and grow, and they will know who is red and who is blue.
Don’t disagree with you Jack, only the Dems are trying harder to kill “people like me” (those of us who don’t identify as victims). We also agree it’s a great song!
You guys are definitely displaying the song and you'll be eaten. We All will at some time A stressful nature makes for a closer walk with Death. Death eats whenever it wants; why call em to the table with ya knowing souls are on the menu?

Just another great song country radio will never play.
Who even listens to that anymore😂
@@edwarddavis7496me, I do, I usually listen to 95.1

Who the fuck listen to radio in 2024 ?

This song's gonna make 'ol Colby famous. 👏
I can't tell why he isn't famous already.. he's an amazing musician
2021 theme song yall, cheers
You were right
@@digitalphoenix72 no one wants to give an Idahoan good credit.. in time this guy will be a legend!
There another video with 10 million view
This song is best described in three words
topical
true
terrifying
This song is unnerving to say the least. This need to blow up.
It's the gospel... Read it for your self!!! You better know both sides of GOOD & EVIL... Cuz it's not all GOOD
Oh Lord that is real deep and a different view praise God for music like this gave me light today that I really needed
Getting The Word from The Devil
"The best of it all is they'll comply with their demise" i am no believer of faith but i see the devil in my fellow man and this is exactly how it's playing out
But once you see the devil you can not deny God. Faith is inevitable.
The only true perpetrator of evil on earth is the human unconscious.
A voice of reason in a sea of chaos. What a lyrical masterpiece. Well done, Colby.
This is honestly one of the best written songs I've heard in years. I'm ill at home teaching myself to play this, and honestly it's getting me through this illness. I can't believe what an amazing songwriter Acuff is, and how I didn't come across him earlier.

The song and lyrics are fantastic. I just can't get past how similar sounding this is to Uncle Lucius Keeping the Wolves Away..
Even more live oak
Enjoy the Lyrics:
If I were the devil, first thing that’d I’d do
Is I’d come off as somebody who gave a damn about you
I’d let you catch a peak of all your greatest desires
And I’d watch the flames in your eyes burn like hell fire
Find all the wolves, in the land
And I’d make them fight each other
Tooth and nail and hand to hand
Find all the sheep, make ‘em stir up the pot
‘cause once the wolves have killed each other, sheep are what I want
The devil walks among us friends, I know this is true
And I don’t know if he’s red, and I don’t know if he’s blue
One thing that I know we need to take a look around
If I were the devil, this world would be my playground
‘Cause I’d place that thorny crown on my furrowed brow
Well I’d shine in all the tears of joy, yelling from the crowd
I’d want to brain wash some parents, and I’d have the world
I’ll be in every schoolhouse lecturing little boys and girls
The devil walks among us friends, I know this is true
And I don’t know if it’s me, and I don’t know if it’s you
But one thing that I know we need to take a look around
If I were the devil, this world would be my playground
For my final act, I’ll tell you what’d it’d be
I’d have everyone so medicated, they could never see
My cloven hooves or horned head would be all disguised
And the best part of it all, is they’d comply with their demise
The devil walks among us friends, I know this is true
And I don’t know if it’s me, and I don’t know if it’s you
But one thing that I know we need to take a look around
If I were the devil, this world would be my playground
If I were the devil, and this world was mine to see
Well id see all the atrocities and it’d probably frighten me
So I’d run back home, with a story to tell
I’d tell all my demon friends that I always preferred hell
Not the correct lyrics. Close but not correct because this has several differences from the album version.
@@syloz67 would you lead us to the correct lyrics, please?
My grandpa always loved country music. He introduced me to Willie, Waylon, and Cash. I still love real country and spurn pop country because of him and I believe he would enjoy this man's music as much as I do.
What a great song and so in touch with our world today.
I’m an atheist and this song resonates with me; we do not realize how deeply we are being played by the powers that be.
That’s funny, take all the wolves and make them fight, it would be like gathering the people who start wars and having them fight it out instead the rest of us.

Exactly... It doesn't matter if you believe in Lucifer or not... Cuz most definitely believes in us....

I absolutely love this song🎵
I have never heard a more true song. August 2021. He’s closing in folks.
I found this song randomly last night. I’ve listened dozens of times; amazing, love it, was looking for Paul Harvey last night and found this and was so joyfully surprised. Love the song and love this acoustic even more

Damn good song! Lyrics are spot on. This will be the next song I learn on guitar. Keep up the great work!

Paul Harvey did a radio broadcast back in 1965 with same title as your song

💞~👵
PS Love you & your talent . . . . .
But I gotta ask, any relation to Roy Acuff?
(Yep, I'm an older Southerner 😘)
simplemente hermoso 🎼🖤
Great song on the foundation of Paul Harvey’s 1965 broadcast !
Wow! Super impressive song writing!
I agree with every word
This boy and cody jinks would sound damn good together 👍
One hell of a song.
Also sounds like live oak from Jason isbelle. Not saying it’s the same love both songs.
Lawsuit close.
Yep
Another jewel dug out of the great gem state!!
Dope didn't know he's from Idaho
@@dustingoodpaster3715 somewhere up north I believe
This is a great tune

Great and unique song bro! Keep up the great work man
Reminds me of keeping the wolves away. The same exact rune just different lyrics.
Hey Colby Brown here. Hey this is great man. Love it.
Idk what to say. Man it's just so good.
Nice work buddy it's a master piece
I love your music
my favorite
THIS is my new favorite and i learned it on guitar. whats the exact strumming pattern?
Down down up with occasional variation play along with the song until you get it
Rhythm
Any tip for a new guitar player ?
What is the chord pattern I can’t see all too well?
@@wattson6469 keep practicing, look up vids on how to improve and do those little practice routines
Man that’s a damn goodun… It’s sad but true.
This is an awesome song
Here before it blows up.
Amazing.
Was this inspired by the “if I was the devil” speech that preacher gave in the 50’s or 60’s? Sounds like it. Powerful song non the less.
What a tune
Tremendous...
Bet I've listened to this song over a 💯 times in just over WK or so, since I first heard it. Fastly becoming one my of my all time favorite songs.
Gotta know though is this based off Paul Harvey (if I were the Devil?)
This song is so Fucking relevant. Kudos man. I will be covering it with your permission 🖤😎
Damn. Great.
Sharing with friends and family!
Thanks for this
This song sounds like it was derived from Paul Harvey’s speech in 1965.
I was looking for this comment. Just listened to it and I definitely think it is.
Live oak
Remarkable, truth is hidden

"Go and tell all my demon friends I always preferred hell" absolute bar not gonna lie
Awesome Raising Awareness
Good work

Fucking awesome song....god dam
Wow...
Is Colby Acuff related to Roy Acuff
Is this your song??? This is amazing obviously a bit of inspiration from Paul Harvey
Omg. I am so glad you got here to tell him that.
Live oak
Thanks for putting Paul Harvey's worning to music. Maybe , hopefully they'll listen.
This is GREAT cuz it's so TRUE, YA better believe in the devil cuz SHE believes in YOU!!! SAD BUT TRUE
Yessir
Does anyone know the strum pattern?
Just imagine this song being written about our US government and the way they’ve been doing their own civilians.
Nice.
Ol' Beelzebub
Very accurate song for todays society.
We're watching it
Is there any tutorials out on how to play this one?
Thanks
I’m on my gazillionth view
i think they're trying to silence Colby. His message is too string for the devils that walk among us. The wolves in the land will adapt and grow, and they will know who is red and who is blue.
This is more relevant than Oliver Anthony's song, shame it gets overlooked.
Buddy, great song and so you know the devil is 100% blue and about 50% red.....
I think you're missing the point of this song... just so you know, red and blue are just two hands of the same body strangling us
Don’t disagree with you Jack, only the Dems are trying harder to kill “people like me” (those of us who don’t identify as victims). We also agree it’s a great song!
@@cbxxb4841 if you don't think both parties are as fucked up as each other, you're part of the problem....damn brain washed people
You guys are definitely displaying the song and you'll be eaten.
We All will at some time
A stressful nature makes for a closer walk with Death.
Death eats whenever it wants; why call em to the table with ya knowing souls are on the menu?
@@hyth.v4031 agree both sides are toxic and hypocritical
Any relation to cowboy?
make a how to plzzzzz 🔥🔥,all i can find is the basic chords
The 7 dislikes are people who shouldn't be listening to country music at its finest
Colby please share the guitar chords!??
😂❤
Oliver Anthony has entered the chat
Glad to hear this without the whistling
