That means a lot. I almost didn't post this because of my emotion, but I've decided to try and be as truthful and honest as Mr. Anthony. I'm glad you saw that and are enjoying my videos. Sending love brother.
Thirty years ago, I felt like I couldn’t live anymore with the trajectory of my life. I went to bed that night and told God, “either give me a reason to live, or take me home..I can’t do this anymore.” I FULLY expected to just not wake up, because what could possibly change before morning. I was sick the next day and ended up in the ER.. and they told me I was pregnant. Shocked is an understatement. I would love this child more than I loved myself, and God knew it. He gave me a reason, just like I had asked. He’s a pediatrician today, and he knows that he was an answer to a desperate prayer. Keep your head up..He hears you. God bless you
What a beautiful beautiful story. Wow this is an incredible comment. Reading this just gave both my wife and I chills. You're an incredible woman for raising him to be a wonderful doctor. Thank you sincerely for loving him more than yourself. For being a mother to a child that will make so many lives better. Amazing! Hope to keep seeing you in my comments. Lead with love.
Oh Wow I love this! And congratulations on your grandson! I'll be posting more and more reactions to his songs today and over the next few days. I love his art. Sending love to you and yours.

His story made my Ex-Marine Hubby cry .God saved him🙏!! I'm Aussie, and his songs touch me and make me cry. His voice/soul can be felt from Down Under !!❤
Huge respect for Oliver! I live in the U.K. 🇬🇧 and Oliver Anthony is resonating with us over here and the rest of the world 🌍 So much love 💓 for this true genuine artist. What a beautiful moment in music ❤ P.s You have a beautiful face 😚 Have a great day sir.
This song reminds me of my father. He told me one morning, "Son, sooner or later... you're gonna want to go home." Thank you Oliver🙏😇🎶🪕 Yes this song is heavy but then again he sings from his soul.
Fuck, bro. Your father's quote hit hard. My Dad killed himself after decades of fighting cancer. He told me something similar before he passed. You could see just how tired he was at the very end.
The beauty of Oliver's music is that with genius simplicity he makes you think and makes you feel. He says so much with so little. He writes a book in 3 minutes. Who was the last artist that truly made you reflect?
Very few have done this in recent memory. Early days of Eminem and DMX made me think a lot. But I grew up in poverty and gang violence so there was a connection there. Since then... its been a while. Love this guy.
For several years, I have to admit, I thought Mike Tyson was just another dumb, punch drunk boxer. Until I watched a rather lengthy interview with him. I don't remember now who it was with, but I was blown away by his level of intelligence and insight. I see him in a totally different light now. Man, the quote you shared is so true. Be well.
Thank you so much. She cares for me and I care for her. I love that you caught that. Sending love to you and your family. I hope to keep seeing you in my comments.
I am so glad that Oliver quoted the words of the master, our Lord Jesus Christ. Jesus said, "For what shall it profit a man, if he shall gain the whole world, and lose his own soul? Or what shall a man give in exchange for his soul?" Mark 8:35-37 Talk about a sober assessment of the infinite value of the human soul. He is warning people to put the salvation of their soul ahead of materialism. Too many in our generation are selling away their souls and slaving away for possessions that they can't bring with them, after they die. The Lord Jesus also said, "For God sent not his Son into the world to condemn the world; but that the world through him might be saved." John 3:17
@@CassiusAchilles You're welcome bro. I appreciate you as well, and just subbed to your channel! God bless you and thanks for posting this great reaction!
Every word he sings is Honest the god truths facts 💯% He makes you feel his words deep down in your Soul....This is going around world...That's telling you something💯% Blessings to everyone🙏 with much love 💞 Thank you for your heart felt reaction 👏👏👏♥️
I agree generally speaking. However, he says "I'd be strung up in the psych ward." To me this implies he would go crazy living in this new world. The new society would have him committed to an asylum. And he would... fill in the blank in order to go home to see his heavenly father. We are in agreement I think though. Thank you for this comment. Got me thinking.
Sometimes being speechless is the best and most credible response you can ever give ... this was such a moment. A heartfelt thank you for sharing that with us.
I like that interpretation A LOT! Although the mention about being strung up in the psych ward seems clear what he is saying. Although I think you're meaning is applicable as well.
If only we could go back in time! If only we could go back to the way it once was when it was easy and no worldly problems! Things have moved so fast and changes have taken place so quickly. Which road to turn to!
We can't go back... And, it has progressed to the point, we need to prepare ourselves, and to tell others what time it is... It's almost time to go Home.. 🙌 Be Ready, The Bridegroom only comes once to receive His Bride... 💖✝️📖🙏
Great Reaction: Oliver tearing out his heart! WOW! Oliver Anthony is not leaving us anytime soon (from my perspective). God Qualifies the Called! Who and what we are witnessing is Anthony's helper in all of his pain! My God is a Miraculous God. He turns mourning into dancing! I suspect Oliver already knows this truth by now! :) Jesus is in his heart! Oliver has chosen to surrender himself to his creator! For those who cannot see what is going on or have their own spin on it; this is the making of my KING of the Universe! Peace in the whirlwind, he is calming his storm and giving him a powerful message to share! What a solider! Joy comes in the morning when you know the Lord! Is it any wonder he went straight up the charts? Rich Man North of Richmond! The answer for mankind is right in front of us in the Living Bible and yet; we do not heed or read, sadly! The Lords work WILL be done! To see the remnant of his creation actually carrying their own cross for the world to see and then surrendering and finding something so beautiful and rewarding on the other side of it is nothing short of. a miracle! Oliver is seeing what joy in the morning looks like! He is #1 all over the place and he now belongs to the King! Praise God! The God of Abraham, Isaac and Jacob. Much to Oliver's chagrin, he is just as surprised as everyone else! Thank you, Jesus! (my perspective)
We've all been blinded, distanced and numb for so long...We've been programmed to see only what they show us. It hurts when we get reminded that we are creatures of deeper, stronger, better quality. We were not designed by the creator to be mediocre. God created us in his image, he reminds us we should start acting like it. We are all perfect when we remember what is REALLY important.
First of all, I agree cake batter is definitely better! And yes it is crazy how distracted we have become from what truly brings us joy, meaning, and purpose.
DOESNT MATTER IF YOU ARE RIGHT LEFT, BLACK, WHITE, YELLOW, BROWN, BUT YOU BETTER HAVE THE LORD JESUS CHRIST IN YOUR HEART! HIS MUSIC JUST RIPS YOUR SOUL!
You have to keep in mind that prior to his music "going public", that Oliver Anthony CONFESSED to suffering from addiction and mental health issues, such as depression and possibly suicidal thoughts. So, when you HEAR the ache in his voice (words) they ring true and honest. But keep in mind that he also said that he promised "The Lord" (your views on religion are your own) that he would give up the booze if "The Lord" could show him a purpose.... and within 30 days he is getting GLOBAL recognition and overwhelmingly positive response to his message. (Sorry, but I can't imagine feeling a little "questionable" about some form of "higher power" and making this type of offer and getting THIS type of response and STILL be "questionable" if that "higher power" even exists. I'm sure that Oliver Anthony's own level of "faith" in his religion has been "confirmed" in a way that is absolutely undeniable.)
I'd like to think that he's referring to remembering the simplicity of life and that perhaps such an honest living in harmony with creation will in fact bring us more inner peace and closer to heaven !?! Either way beautiful & liked your reaction as well as shared your wife's tears,
The fact that that captions keep... first line is " If it weren't for my Old dogs and the Good Lord " but it captions as If it wont for the.... like the caption maker doesn't understand how to say weren't.
I know, I add them just in case people are hearing impaired and they can help. But RUclips auto generates them on his videos, and they aren't the best I agree.
I agree there are multiple interpretations. However, he references suicide when he says, "I'd be strung up in the psych ward." There is no question he its referencing it in that line. But I agree home is heaven and not necessarily suicide to get there. Thanks for the comment 🙂
At the end, That's a quote in the bible, the book of Mark. He's been seeking the LORD and going home means... a rapture of His church or as Paul (who wrote 2/3 of the New Testament said, "To live is Christ to die is gain." Paul had been to heaven and has first hand knowledge of the peace and beauty that awaits those who have received Jesus as Savior and LORD. No death wish but the knowledge of the best is yet to come. God bless.
Mate… there are some days that I would gladly run into the arms of our Lord and go home… but we must endure and carry on… the world can not be crazy for much longer…. Can it?
I think I want to go home has a few different meanings in this short song.Refering 2 death?,old homestead because it's been so long he doesn't know which road,he doesn't know but he's down on his knees maybe he's not prayed in long time.
First line with the old dogs , lord and psych ward is about in this new world of high inflation where your money is worth nothing, where free speech is used you get cancelled would send him crazy. That’s the 1-2 many days for him. Then he says where on the brink of a world war and know one is praying which refers to the world is so screwed up right now that people don’t care if there is a war because it is just as bad without one. People are struggling just to eat. When he talks about wanting to go home he’s talking about a simpler time. Look at the 80’sand 90’s. your money went a lot further. Houses were a lot cheaper. Cars were cheaper. Food cheaper. People are starting to decide whether they can afford to have children now.he doesn’t know what road to take to get back to what it used to be like because the world his been like this for too long now. He still refers to everyone doing what the rich men say( politicians government dc) the farm represents those simple times where hardwork and sweat and tears earns your living then along comes the young generation takes the easy way sells it off and then it’s developed and all that hard work was for nothing lost to the concrete jungle forever. “People have lost there way only do what the tv says” is there freedom to think and speak for themselves. They just go along with what the media( tv Facebook twitter etc ) agenda is, and to do or say anything against it = cancelled. It really is a sad world we are living in right now. Commonsense doesn’t even prevail anymore. The song still does have the depressive and maybe suicidal connotations to it but, I think it is less relevant.
Excellent analysis! I agree entirely. However, you are skipping over a very clear and distinct line, "strung up" in the psych ward. He's saying if it weren't for the love of his dogs and the good lord keeping him sane, we would end up in the psych ward. Worse than that he would end up "strug up" as in hanging because he wouldn't be able to take that existence. He also finishes the song referencing hanging again. I do agree with your analysis though that it does not necessarily point to suicide and that going home is simply going back to a time or perhaps going to a more heavenly place. Love that you broke this down. Sending love brother.
Yeah great point. I was thinking it was more towards just going crazy in this “new world but the strung part you mentioned definitely points more towards that way.
The song definitely has 2 meanings to it and I find everyone just keeps pointing towards the suicidal side of things. I did know the strung up part did exist but was just wanting to convey his other message as well. I’ve never listened to a song like these two songs of his “rich one and home one” and been so captivated ,if that’s the right word to use. It’s the first time I’ve stopped and really thought about.
Kids now, with social media... most don't see it as heritage, or even the way to make sure you can feed your own... It's a quick sale, fast cash, and BOOM... the end of the family farm
I agree there can multiple interpretations. However, the "strung up" in the psych ward line seems pretty clear. I think he means home as in a comforting place. Although he also says, lord take me home. We are in agreement.
I don't think he's talking about suicide, i.e., taking his own life before YHVH calls him home. I once eagerly and sincerely asked in my agony for YHVH to "take me now," but suicide was not an option. Fortunately, He didn't take me then, because He still had things for me to do here. Here's what I get from this song: What are we doing to ourselves? What have we done to one another? Am I part of the problem? Can I become part of the solution?
We all need for sanity to return to our country and people. Sick of media pitting us one against another by, race, creed or color. As Americans we all bleed red. Hyperinflation and taxes are out of control. $700 per person in Maui and multiple billions to Ukraine? I could go on, but you get the drift…I think the meaning of going home Is twofold. Back to normal standards of living, and woke ideology GONE, and also home to heaven. It’s our choice, but the status quo is not acceptable. 😊
Been watching reactions and yours is probably the best thank you for realizing the actual meaning of the song
That means a lot. I almost didn't post this because of my emotion, but I've decided to try and be as truthful and honest as Mr. Anthony. I'm glad you saw that and are enjoying my videos. Sending love brother.
My thoughts exactly.

Thirty years ago, I felt like I couldn’t live anymore with the trajectory of my life. I went to bed that night and told God, “either give me a reason to live, or take me home..I can’t do this anymore.” I FULLY expected to just not wake up, because what could possibly change before morning. I was sick the next day and ended up in the ER.. and they told me I was pregnant. Shocked is an understatement. I would love this child more than I loved myself, and God knew it. He gave me a reason, just like I had asked. He’s a pediatrician today, and he knows that he was an answer to a desperate prayer. Keep your head up..He hears you. God bless you
What a beautiful beautiful story. Wow this is an incredible comment. Reading this just gave both my wife and I chills. You're an incredible woman for raising him to be a wonderful doctor.

Hi from the UK 🇬🇧. I think he is going to be ok. He is happy in the woods on his farm. Distracted from them tarmacing the world by bull
I sure do hope so and I agree!
Seeing the lord doesn’t reference suicide. He’s just saying he’s tired of the world we in and ready to see his Heavenly Father.

Thank you brother! I hope people do. I appreciate your support genuinely. Sending love your way.
You can feel his pain
Soulful voice.
The fact that that captions keep... first line is " If it weren't for my Old dogs and the Good Lord " but it captions as If it wont for the.... like the caption maker doesn't understand how to say weren't.
I know, I add them just in case people are hearing impaired and they can help. But RUclips auto generates them on his videos, and they aren't the best I agree.
It’s not suicide , it’s a want of heaven
I agree there are multiple interpretations. However, he references suicide when he says, "I'd be strung up in the psych ward." There is no question he its referencing it in that line. But I agree home is heaven and not necessarily suicide to get there. Thanks for the comment 🙂
The Good Lord will watch you and keep you in his safe arms
❤ you, hugs to your wife, loved your response!
At the end, That's a quote in the bible, the book of Mark. He's been seeking the LORD and going home means... a rapture of His church or as Paul (who wrote 2/3 of the New Testament said, "To live is Christ to die is gain." Paul had been to heaven and has first hand knowledge of the peace and beauty that awaits those who have received Jesus as Savior and LORD. No death wish but the knowledge of the best is yet to come. God bless.
Love your reaction. We can do this without God. God bless y'all and Hug your wife for us ❤❤
Thank you. Sending love.

Thank you sincerely Diane!
His words, songs, make you want to cry out to God Almighty through His son Jesus Christ. Let us all be one under God.
Good dogs and the good lord. 👍 AWSOME
He’s not talking suicide! He’s saying he’s tired of this world and praying for the Lords return! Which at this point to many of us feel the same.
Matthew 16:26
Mark 8:36 🙏🙌🕊️
Thank you.
He was an addict and he also tried suicide and he recently became a born-again Christian and he's praying at this time that the Lord take him home.
Damn
Mate… there are some days that I would gladly run into the arms of our Lord and go home… but we must endure and carry on… the world can not be crazy for much longer…. Can it?
I think I want to go home has a few different meanings in this short song.Refering 2 death?,old homestead because it's been so long he doesn't know which road,he doesn't know but he's down on his knees maybe he's not prayed in long time.
No, as someone who has been there; he wasn't talking about after a long life.
Please keep your head up. I hope to see you in my comments from now on. Real genuine people are right here on this page. 🙂 Sending love.
It's not about depression and suicide but about living in a Godless world.
First line with the old dogs ,
lord and psych ward is about in this new world of high inflation where your money is worth nothing, where free speech is used you get cancelled would send him crazy. That’s the 1-2 many days for him. Then he says where on the brink of a world war and know one is praying which refers to the world is so screwed up right now that people don’t care if there is a war because it is just as bad without one. People are struggling just to eat. When he talks about wanting to go home he’s talking about a simpler time. Look at the 80’sand 90’s. your money went a lot further. Houses were a lot cheaper. Cars were cheaper. Food cheaper. People are starting to decide whether they can afford to have children now.he doesn’t know what road to take to get back to what it used to be like because the world his been like this for too long now. He still refers to everyone doing what the rich men say( politicians government dc) the farm represents those simple times where hardwork and sweat and tears earns your living then along comes the young generation takes the easy way sells it off and then it’s developed and all that hard work was for nothing lost to the concrete jungle forever. “People have lost there way only do what the tv says” is there freedom to think and speak for themselves. They just go along with what the media( tv Facebook twitter etc ) agenda is, and to do or say anything against it = cancelled. It really is a sad world we are living in right now. Commonsense doesn’t even prevail anymore. The song still does have the depressive and maybe suicidal connotations to it but, I think it is less relevant.
Excellent analysis! I agree entirely. However, you are skipping over a very clear and distinct line, "strung up" in the psych ward. He's saying if it weren't for the love of his dogs and the good lord keeping him sane, we would end up in the psych ward. Worse than that he would end up "strug up" as in hanging because he wouldn't be able to take that existence. He also finishes the song referencing hanging again. I do agree with your analysis though that it does not necessarily point to suicide and that going home is simply going back to a time or perhaps going to a more heavenly place. Love that you broke this down. Sending love brother.
Yeah great point. I was thinking it was more towards just going crazy in this “new world but the strung part you mentioned definitely points more towards that way.
The song definitely has 2 meanings to it and I find everyone just keeps pointing towards the suicidal side of things. I did know the strung up part did exist but was just wanting to convey his other message as well. I’ve never listened to a song like these two songs of his “rich one and home one” and been so captivated ,if that’s the right word to use. It’s the first time I’ve stopped and really thought about.
"I did come from the Father, and I came into the world; and now I am leaving the world and going to the Father."
John 16:28
So sick of greed.
its about 'human foolishness"
I think he's just tired 😫 most of us are
Agreeeed.
He probably had to sell it to pay HIGH PROPERTY TAXES, imposed by the Rich Men North of Richmond!! 😿
Very good point and excellent reference.
Kids now, with social media... most don't see it as heritage, or even the way to make sure you can feed your own...
It's a quick sale, fast cash, and BOOM... the end of the family farm
Without his dogs and the good LORD
I think he is referring to the Lord coming back to take His People Home
I don't necessarily think he's talking about suicide as much as going back when we were a proud nation happier times
I agree there can multiple interpretations. However, the "strung up" in the psych ward line seems pretty clear. I think he means home as in a comforting place. Although he also says, lord take me home. We are in agreement.
It hits hard, but it needs to hit hard. Maybe slap some sense into some of us!
He wrote that song before he found God
It’s a Covid album.
I don't think he's talking about suicide, i.e., taking his own life before YHVH calls him home. I once eagerly and sincerely asked in my agony for YHVH to "take me now," but suicide was not an option. Fortunately, He didn't take me then, because He still had things for me to do here. Here's what I get from this song:
What are we doing to ourselves?
What have we done to one another?
Am I part of the problem?
Can I become part of the solution?
I took it another way. He's a Believer and he knows that self-murder is a sin. Like a lot of people, I think he's hoping the Rapture will come soon.
Hes not talking about suicide.
We all need for sanity to return to our country and people.
Sick of media pitting us one against another by, race, creed or color.
As Americans we all bleed red. Hyperinflation and taxes are out of control.
$700 per person in Maui and multiple billions to Ukraine?
I could go on, but you get the drift…I think the meaning of going home
Is twofold. Back to normal standards of living, and woke ideology GONE,
and also home to heaven. It’s our choice, but the status quo is not
acceptable. 😊
The game feels rigged.
The quote is from the New Testament (Bible), Mark 8:36. Thank you
