I've seen people from at least 14 countries watch this song, and every... single.... one... of them has said the same is true for them in their country. This man has touched the truth and sung it plainly. It would be nice if the government was more afraid of us than we are of them.

You can be certain, the government is afraid and that's why they keep pushing certain laws and regulations. If you are a law abiding person you will fall in line and that's what they count on. The people who have a differing opinion are silenced and feel like just a cog in the system. Even people in politics who want to do what is right will lose their support if they don't fall in line. People are strong armed daily.

They hire consultants. At Pattison Sign Group it was "Kaizen" training. Basically how to reduce workers and put more work on the remaining workers that didn't get laid off. They want to minimize your hours and wage and replace you with outsourcing and automation. Look at Amazon factories. "They" don't care. They want your frogs gay, your flag displaying "minor attracted persons", and they want to basically prove Aldous Huxley right. You're not stupid, don't fall for their shit

I'm a welder and I can tell you one thing, AI may seem like a solution but after what you pay for a robot and the labor involved to keep it running, it doesn't make much sense. Someone still has to work the same shift loading the parts for the robots. And if you work for a decent company, they aren't allowed to hire illegals. But I can tell you one thing for sure, every factory in my town is now owned by Chinese or Koreans communists and they're even buying up all of the farm land. That's the real problem

Unfortunately its not a new phenomenon :( "The mass of men lead lives of quiet desperation. What is called resignation is confirmed desperation. From the desperate city you go into the desperate country, and have to console yourself with the bravery of minks and muskrats. A stereotyped but unconscious despair is concealed even under what are called the games and amusements of mankind. There is no play in them, for this comes after work. But it is a characteristic of wisdom not to do desperate things.." - Henry David Thoreau

The corrupt US embezzlers took over Canada in the 80s. Here is the MINIMUM we need to know in order to end the reign of corrupt sociopathic money ADDICTS who have been embezzling government money for decades, who are totally derelict in their duty and unfit to govern: Remember Henry Ford said that there would be "revolution before tomorrow morning" if the people know how the money system actually worked? Well, the corrupt sociopaths in power know that government money can be issued IN ANY AMOUNT for anything that is physically possible, and they have arranged scams for decades to EMBEZZLE that money! The major one is "privatization", where they pretend they will run something better than the government and "like a business", but this scam is designed so they can bill the government ANY AMOUNT, providing massive exec salaries and insanely high profits. Wall Street firms fall over each other to invest - so do most Congress (or Parliament) members - when these entities are put on the stock market, because they know that profits are guaranteed via fiat government money. They all know that government money is NOT OUR TAXES, and that countries that issue their own currency do NOT have an actual "national debt" that the liars love to fearmonger us about, etc. We need to know what they want kept hidden from us. The US has been taking over countries since WW2 to do this embezzling scam and has built a corruption cartel of many lapdog countries; the liars demonize any leader who does not submit, to manipulate public opinion so we go along with the coups, invasions, assassinations, etc. The US also directs the WHO, created the WEF, and monolithic entities like Blackrock, Vanguard and others got so big by participating in the embezzling globally! We need to see the BS and FIGHT the lunatic money addicts and their inhumanity. They lie us into wars & then embezzle most of the war money through "privatized" war companies, incarcerate people to enrich themselves via "privatized" prisons. "Privatized" healthcare enriches insurance companies and related companies & investors, another corruption scam where they get torrents of government money but do NOT spend it on the healthcare people need. Vax companies and the digital ID systems to subjugate us are also privatized! So are all the entities to track and control us that the liars pretend are to "help the climate": social credit, ESG, carbon tracking, digital bank currency, 15-minute cities and more. The scheme was to get TRILLIONS from many governments FOREVER while ensuring we could not rise up to stop their corruption, tyranny and inhumanity. (Pretending there is not enough energy, oil, food is how they will try to force us to get those digital IDs - they will say it is so we can get our "rations" and UBI etc to try to survive.) This electronic prison to subjugate is being finalized, so time is running short for us to expose them and stop their plans for us. They use cloaking terms like "private" prisons, "for profit" healthcare, "public-private partnerships", etc, because they know that there is public backlash against privatization; we should always push back and use the CORRECT term when they do this. Currently, public education is being privatized by calling it "school choice" and "charter schools". The lunatic money addicts in power lie, destroy and KILL for more "money fixes". They are totally derelict in their duty and UNFIT TO GOVERN and should face charges of dereliction of duty, violating the Constitution, embezzling federal money, crimes against humanity, violating the Nuremberg code, war crimes and more.

Us normal people are actually in it together. The majority of politicians are intentionally gaslighting you to make you feel crazy and keep us all quiet so we don’t get labeled crazy. I cannot believe that we treat our veterans worse than illegal aliens. They have found for our country and our personal safety and we leave them in states of emotional and physical distress that could be considered almost torture. Many of the “compassionate” political moves are anything but compassionate. I am just so happy this song and message is so clear and resonates with literally the entire world. I don’t know what difference it will make long term but i hope it does. I am also from the midwest steel belt but very close to chicago.. so i completely understand and empathize with your perspective. I love that you are so open about it. The mainstream culture is basically the bread and circus from the Roman empire. Distract the population with entertainment so they don’t think too hard about their miserable existence.
When I first heard this I cried. This was honest and it is nice to hear music like this that isn't over produced. Plus with my political leanings, it is perfect. Need more like this. He passed up a 8 million dollar record deal as well.

While the 2020 presidential candidates spent a record $5.7 billion total between them, congressional races saw a stunning $8.7 billion in total spending. Nine of the 10 most expensive Senate races ever occurred in the 2020 cycle. Wow that could buy a lot of fudge rounds. Of course it would barely put a dent in our American annual military budget which already consumes roughly half of the country's discretionary budget - more than $630 billion.

You want to cite numbers? Ok, deal with this reality, in 6 months, 80% of the Federal budget will be spent on DEMOCRAT welfare/entitlements. That means the massive Defense budget you are crying about...is merely part of the 20% that is not entitlements. Take 5 seconds to conceive of that. Discretionary? Who decides what is discretionary and what is not? We do. The people. The idiotic notion that we can't reform/change/reduce ANY spending: is exactly how we got to 80/20 in the first place. Don't waste our time arguing against that fact. Regardless of what you say, whenever you get done talking, 80% will still be true. So, how shall you proceed? Until you accept the fact that the Defense budget is NOTHING compared to Democrat socialist spending? You're not a serious person. ALL the rest of the Federal budget has to exist in the 20%, including things like school lunch, teacher incentives, and whatever else you might want to spend $ on, because DEMOCRATS refuse to reform any of the 80%, even with documented, easily observed fraud in the $BILLIONS continuing year over year. That is exactly why 5'3", 300 pound losers get welfare money to pay for their fudge rounds. And, maintaining the metaphor, we are spending a hell of a lot more on fudge rounds, than we are on missiles. Now that you're properly informed: you face a choice, don't you? I'll leave it to you to decide, since: I am a real American, and thus I neither feel the need or claim the authority to make your choices for you. That's what leftists do. I do the opposite.

@@SkipFrontzJr trump gave me hope that thr system isnt totally messed up, though it is and he didnt make censorship worse and he allowed oil to be produced properly allowing me to escape poverty through work. Old fashioned stuff, I know. You're side arrestrd your political opponent and his legal representatives, you are beyond the pale and have no morals.
Beautiful expression Lilly. Thanks for showing so much. ❤️
thank you Lilly! this is so real!!!!! thank you sir!!!!!
Thank you for your insight ❤️ from the heartland
Every time i hear this i tear up, getting through the day is hard. Love your reaction
I love her reaction to the second verse. I listen to the song every day and from time to time I have tears.
Great reaction! Please react to his song "I want to go home". This Man speaks from his soul to all whose soul hears!

You have a great heart! You earned my sub. Thankfulness for your life.
Im 53 year old veteran and this country is effed. I feel for the kids have no clue how things are for them. Then again they helped put us here so eff em.
I came upon your site just by chance this morning trying to calm my mind by finding a distraction as a veteran sleep is something that's hard to cling to at time's. Anyway your breakdown of Toby's,Cash and Hanks as well as others has been well inspiring I have a difficult time with this generation my own children as well I worry about what my grandchildren will be left with as well as all of you. We did infact as some would say gave our youth to protect your future and that wasn't for someone else's gratitude but so so y'all would have a future like we did and it goes without saying for the troop on my right left and front I had tears more than once tell yer husband thanks for his service I'll be checking your whatever it's called out more often now.
I watched your video about this great song. I watched just your eyes and I seen everything you went through. Torn apart and when you felt that connection with other people when he sang about, people like me and people like you. You went on a roller coaster of emotions. Glad you made the video. Thanks

What's that
The last time I saw a story teller just stand play their guitar and sing from their soul with no gimmicks or fancy backing about the desperation of living in abject poverty and trying to escape it was Tracy Chapman in her song Fast Car. She became a super star because it resonated with so many people and she was the real deal. Oliver / Christopher has taken it even further, exposing the dark side of our men and women in suits rulers who have sold their souls and wish to crush our spirits. That is why this is an across the board smash hit, he sings the truth from the soul and has brought the evil ones into the spotlight of the masses. God is speaking through this man with the Holy Spirit and everyone can feel it, that's why we cry when we hear this song and we have to hear it over and over and over and over.
Just saw him in concert, WOW!. He is the real deal. A man we need right now.
Great videos Lilly. Oliver Anthony's contribution is a national treasure. Thank you for being free thinking.
Fantastic critique honey!! You're so spot-on, bullseye
ive been out a few days...this is perfect... you are the best reator to watcch with my family
🤣🤣🤣 Her face when he references politician caring about minors on an island..... priceless!!!
Reminds me so much of the "protest" songs of the 1960's.......a clear criticism of ALL politicians, regardless of Party, in DC.....his voice is unabashedly country and expresses what must be his heartfelt anger and plea for change........
I died at her expression at the miners.😂😂
Chills the first time I heard this - be kind always as we know nothing of the battle others fight every day
What's wrong is when you listen to a song that only speaks the truth, but the truth makes you cry.
Very. Lovely reaction to this song lil lady.
Great analysis!
Great review, thank you!
Once again we’ll said !!!👏👏👏
See it makes everyone tear up because of how honest it is
3:16 when this song hits your soul like a freight train. Thanks for sharing your reaction ❤ You’re one of We The People. We have to all vote 3rd party, or this Red & Blue team will be the end of us.
We have a Richmond south of Ottawa in Canada... There's also a Richmond south of London England...
Always enjoy your commentary and openness. Thanks for sharing! Speaking from a more seasoned perspective I've found that if I want to really make a difference to my day to day life I try to focus my energy at the local and state levels instead of the Federal level. That's not to say I don't vote my conscience when the time comes at the Fed level but we all only have so many breaths to breathe in our lives so chose your battles carefully..
Chris WAS working in a factory in NC and was injured in a bad accident. Not getting help (shocker) in NC's "right to work state". So you hit it right on. Its one of his drivers & to this song.
Lilly, you're great, love you!
Great review! Subbed
Young men and women...they need to come together...😢 We're made for one another...we need purpose. Family
You’re waking up young lady and I’m loving it
You make solid points. I have been in factories 40 years
POWER FULL, SO POWERFUL
Dude yo intro with ryan caraveo had me hooked keep it up sis we love you
How have I not seen your reaction til now?? 🤔
Living in Michigan and working in a factory and yes it’s so true, I’ve worked 21 days in a row often. I have no idea what summer is anymore.
God bless him...living every word
Dear girl, you are spot on!
Love your reactions, What a song though!!!
just saw a clip from his website. He was laughing about the RNC playing this at the debates because he said "I was talking about them".

That's a disingenuous fraction of the points he made in Part 2, he had a whole lot more to say. He's already made it clear he falls straight down the middle politically, and doesn't identify as either Left or Right. He's neutral and fair in his fed up criticism, which being a fed up Independent I can relate to that. His main point is class warfare. He made it very clear he thinks it's funny that ALL politicians have to now listen to his words/lyrics, that he's talking about ALL of them. He also said, "I do hate to see that song weaponized. I see the Right trying to characterize me as one of their own, and I see the Left trying to DISCREDIT me." He continued, "30 some million people understood what I was saying. But it only takes a few to try to derail the train, you know, to try to send out false narratives."... "This isn't a Republican and Democrat thing. It's not even a United States thing... this has been a global response." Sure has, sure is, and growing by the day. He's such an intelligent, humble, old soul gobsmacked by the attention he's received from all walks of life. Millions of us appreciate and understand his Appalachian folk anthem musical therapy, and the impact he's made. And if millions of us now say "Go Folk, Not Woke!", so be it, we understand exactly what that means too.

He is talking about both parties and DC in general; Some call it the uniparty. Sorry but if you want a nation with a strong economy and opportunities for all vote in a populist candidate like Trump.

@@SkipFrontzJr Spare us, what misguided mal-informed bullcrap. Can't discern the totalitarian Left have completely not just jumped the shark but have fucked the shark in their god forsaken lust rush to falsely accuse, persecute, and violate innocent President Trump's constitutional rights along with every American citizen's rights including your own? IF you're even American that is. Evil machinations, falsehoods, fake accusations to bolster UnConstitutional & UnAmerican charges, much less not having proper jurisdiction to even file them, renders it to nothing but blatant partisan election interference with a mere case number. A very far cry from a non existent "inmate number". Keep your britches wrenched up tight with that evil crew though. Once the best Prez of my lifetime wins for his THIRD time in 2024, you'll be lucky if you have anybody left on any slate to vote for in 2028. The real crooks & liars are going down. This showcases why your type of bamboozled weak mindset has fallen so far behind the realities of the world, and why the rest of us out here are LIGHT YEARS ahead in understanding and perceiving exactly what is going on.

i love this song. a year later and it still gives me chills
There is another song by Oliver Anthony called I wanna go home really good ❤
As a man who has contemplated suicide in a few of my lowest moments, this song really hits me so hard, and what you said about men and the epidemic of suicide really got to me so much.
I can’t listen to this without crying.
When you're vibing and relating to the song. Then at 2:53 and it hits you were it hurts most. That's how we know it's time to make some changes here in the US. It hurts me too a lot.
Thanks for your video. We all need to come together. All of us. No matter the partisan divides.
Nice reaction young lady. You used the word adults during your closing speech. This leads me to believe you are quite young. And if that is so, you make me happy to know that our youth is not yet lost and the future is still a fair fight. Good job and thank you.
love this
I don't know how many of these reactions I have watched and you are the first one to even acknowledge the lyrics "young men putting themselves six feet in the ground because all this country does is kick them down" which furthers his point that no one cares about us. So thanks for mentioning that he even sang those words.
