Just seen him in Jonesboro. Such a great voice and message. You can feel it. When he sang richmen live, everyone stood and sang the song with him. The hurt in everyone's eyes was hope filled. Let's change this America for US.
"None of us make it out alive," were spoken to me once. To this day, they echo every now and then in my mind. Reminding me we take nothing with us when we go, just the memories remain.
Man your songs have helped me through the last year of my life and it’s been the tuffest ever losing friends left and right I thought death came in threes for me I have buried 8 in a year but most my life is sold drugs and spread death not seeing it I stepped away from that life found god and now I watch one by one as they all slip away this is my punishment but like this song says I got to keep on fighting and one day I’ll be smiling with my lord and savior
We've all done wrong Brother. Let go of the wheel completely and give your life to Jesus. I swear to you man it's like nothing you've ever experienced. He loves you and he paid for all your sins already.
Been there brother. Take this time to rejoice in your Lord & Saviour Jesus Christ. Remeber when you were before the sin came in. May The Father embrace this man a the child of God who he loves and comforts in his time in need.
100 years from now, people will understand that you are as important as Woodie Guthrie was to keeping alive the soul of America during times of darkeness. Keep going brother!
As a novice songwriter, in my humble opinion, THIS is one of the top 100 songs ever written. By anyone. Good job sir! Thanks for allowing me to feel something.
Just when I thought I couldn’t love your voice anymore than I already do, YOU DO THIS! We love you Oliver Anthony, thank you for putting your heart & soul into your music. It’s helped many of us, more than you could ever know ❤️🔥🇺🇸
Oliver Anthony! I'm english and we live in a country that if your working class and Try too be more ! Your knocked down like why are you trying to outstep your place! But I'm proud that without me and every other builder the country would crash we may be the peons but if the bottom of the pyramid goes then the whole thing tumbles ! Please do a tour here or come too the country too country festival!! It's massive here . Your music is relatable you have a big following here ! 70 % of us don't even vote anymore . Why vote for the leader that will shaft you least ! 😅
Turning your life around... climbing out of the pit and overcoming past indescretions. Never stop fighting and always believe in yourself. Thanks Chris, your music is so refreshing during our country's troubled times
Dude your words and voice reach the core of me. Lost innocence is something that haunts me a lot. But you just keep goin. This song found me just when I needed it, I think.. Thanks for shining such a beautifully poignant light on feelings I know a lot of people feel these days 🖤
This hit me square in the chest. I miss my grandpa. Smartest man I ever knew. Still love him. I may not remember them perfectly, but that's okay. I still remember them. Absolutely fantastic music as always Oliver, thank you so much for what you make. It's beautiful.
this man’s voice is absolutely insane. I’ve listened since he blew up, but it keeps blowing my mind. I love the guitar, but your voice is the best instrument. absolutely love the music
I just love the cover picture on your CD!! Title is outstanding too!! WOKE NASHVILLE CAN NOT PRODUCE GREAT MUSIC LIKE YOUR MUSIC. NASHVILLE EAT YOUR WOKE HEART OUT!!! WE DUMPED YOU LONG AGO!!!
Love it! Every leader chosen by God/Christ came from a troubled past, not one of them was perfect, but their faith was unwavering. Just stay on the line and continue to answer the call. We lift your spirit in Jesus name.
Every year my grandpa would record Christmas day one day I discovered his vcr tapes I would replay this one tape that had my sister opening her gifts and her smiles.. who would know we would lose her before the next Christmas. Thanks for making music man your songs hit the soul ❤️🩹
May God bless you, Chris, and guide you onward. May He also bless your family moving forward into life. You are more than the sum of your struggles in God’s estimation. And that’s all that matters, really.
Now this is hard choice to make but I'd have to say hands down this is my favorite song I've ever heard . It hit home ... in the past 4 years been the hardest in my life but iv made it over some big rocks so when I heard this song make me think how far we can take life . 🎉❤
What a freaking great song man, your lyrics and voice consistently puts chills on my skin every time I listen to your music. The good lord sure has blessed you with an incredible gift, thank you for sharing it with us.
When I first heard him, I liked the song Rich men for the melody, but thought he would be a one hit wonder riding the wind of angry MAGA voters. I am a liberal (from Norway so by my standard Biden is conservative), atheist. I was wrong, this is a solid record, he is not a one hit wonder. I enjoy listening to his experiences as a human being, where his faith is important to him, I like to listen to his view that is more about the simple life than left vs right, and the melodies are solid.
Your bad ass bud if you write your music your even more bad asser!!! You have heart you put your heart in your music just sure wish everyone would not just listen but hear your music!! Damn good bud
Your music encapsulates how many of us are feeling (or at least myself) today. This song brings tears to my eyes every time I listen. Thank you making something that encapsulates and validates our struggles. God bless you and yours.
Absolutely loved watching him live,first time I ever heard this song was live in concert and it grabbed right ahold of me. Keep it up brother your killin it 💯💯🙏🏻
They were some dark nights, and some really hard fights. I can't say I won them, but these days I am smiling like that VCR kid from my childhood. I just hope my kids can find that smile without all the pain.
In my grandad's attic There's a dusty box of old VCR tapes And then there's a kid who looks kinda like I did Before I made all my mistakes Before those dark nights And hard fights that he won't win Before those heartbreaks, mistakes That'll haunt him 'til the end If you just keep on fightin', keep on climbin', 'Til you reach that mountain ridge I bet you a dollar when you look down in that holler You'll be smilin' like that damned VCR kid This beautiful world that we're livin' in I'd give all I have just to get it again Without all the pain Without all the things I've done And the lines on my face are startin' to tell Stories of the past that I know so well The things that I'm ashamed of That I've done along the way All of those dark nights Hard fights that he won't win Those heartaches, mistakes That'll haunt you 'til the end If you just keep on fightin' and keep on climbin' 'Til you reach that mountain ridge I bet you a dollar if you look down in that holler You'll be smilin' like that damned VCR kid In my grandad's attic There's a dusty box of old VCR tapes.
Silly short story. Our family was watching a movie at home one night. It was an old movie on a VCR tape. My younger kids had never watched one before. As we all got settled into our seats with our bowels of popcorn, my eight year old picks up the remote and starts pushing buttons. She announced the remote control was broken cause the main menu wouldn't come on. My older kids got quite a laugh and had to show her what the rewind and fast forward buttons were for. Needless to say we all had a good laugh while we waited for the movie to rewind. We still tease her about it to this day. Fond memory 😊
I grew up when my great grandfather watched football after recording it. At the time h s was retiring from tatnall county. He retired lik 6 time's from the jail as a jailer and as someone who ordered store. Before that he retired from the Reidsville State prison and the coast guard and air force i miss you Don.
This man will go down in history as a man who's soul touched the world
All the millennials in Appalachia who truly need your music. I am one of them.
Gen Y*
Don't stop making music. I'm not sure you realize how much everyone in this world needs your music right now.
Amen !!!
Amen lord truly protect this man from all enemies foreign and domestic
I couldn't agree with you more. It gives me chills
Facts
Amen

Thats right let's change the world for us
The reflection of his/your loss of innocence is a devastating reminder of how hard life can be.
I think hes the best country artist to have ever lived. I can feel the soul in it in my own. It brings tears to my eyes.
Memories may be the most valuable asset in life when the light is dimming and there is not much sand left in the hourglass.
felt to the heart.

I didn't think you could make a better version than the original recording, but this is incredible. I love this song!
Agreed
It has almost analog feel to it with the white noise and minimal production.
Ok, straight to the soul. This one made me cry.
As a novice songwriter, in my humble opinion, THIS is one of the top 100 songs ever written. By anyone. Good job sir! Thanks for allowing me to feel something.
Thanks Chris for your music you have inspired me to pick up that old guitar in the corner and started playing again.
Me too.
I love the song and I'm sure many people will like it and it will be a huge success. Lovely greetings from Vienna, Lorinna

In my grandad's attic
There's a dusty box of old VCR tapes
And then there's a kid who looks kinda like I did
Before I made all my mistakes
Before those dark nights
And hard fights that he won't win
Before those heartbreaks, mistakes
That'll haunt him 'til the end
If you just keep on fightin', keep on climbin',
'Til you reach that mountain ridge
I bet you a dollar when you look down in that holler
You'll be smilin' like that damned VCR kid
This beautiful world that we're livin' in
I'd give all I have just to get it again
Without all the pain
Without all the things I've done
And the lines on my face are startin' to tell
Stories of the past that I know so well
The things that I'm ashamed of
That I've done along the way
All of those dark nights
Hard fights that he won't win
Those heartaches, mistakes
That'll haunt you 'til the end
If you just keep on fightin' and keep on climbin'
'Til you reach that mountain ridge
I bet you a dollar if you look down in that holler
You'll be smilin' like that damned VCR kid
In my grandad's attic
There's a dusty box of old VCR tapes.
❤ U bro.
