I don’t vote either. I used to but I never saw where my vote mattered.

Hear hear 👍👊

This argument that you are the only one that can bring you down is a pleasant falsity. A murderer can bring you down. What is happening politically and what this song is talking about is figurative murder. You saying that you are apolitical and that you don’t vote or don’t get involved is what allows those Rich Men North of Richmond to figuratively murder you and cause the troubles they are causing. Otherwise good video.

This is all derivative and I feel bad for anyone who thinks they are discovering anything new by listening to this.

❤ regards from Canada 💕 ciao soul

Love this and Let him know we love him!

Yes please let him know how much we love him. ❤this is my new anthem

…this man used to deliver your welding supplies 😂

Tell him we love him! He brought tears to my eyes

Yes. It brought tears to my eyes and goosebumps!! Much love to him and his family!!

Yes

Facts

Dundalk Maryland agrees

Yes. Contrast the grit / honesty of this song with watching Pence "pump" gas.

Said what all of us are thinking but none of us are talented enough to write down

Really is insane. Thanks Paul! You're totally right lol

IDK if you meant to say earth chattering, but YOU'RE RIGHT!! I hear that this song is affecting people all around the world and they're talking about it!

Right? I've never watched this many reaction videos. Usually one. Maybe two. Just watched a string of them, don't know how many. Lost count.

@@laurasummers115me too lol

You are so right. At times it looked like he was going to start playing and singing along.

I've listened to this song at least a dozen time, I tear up every time!!!!!!!!!!!!

Agree

​@@jakeu844same

Hold the line, boys!

Stay frosty.

Yup

He asked them to sing along.

the whole country

A video was just posted today. It already look like more than 1000 in the crowd at a small town fair in North Carolina. In the video it said he played there for 20 people in July…… We are all watching the meteoric rise of the everyman folksinger…….

I just saw him singing with a band earlier today and the crowd WAS singing along... Amazing tune!!! Old country right there....

U bein serious?

Damn right he is.

​@@johnbags2525yea dude he's serious. I'm not even religious but I couldn't help but ask God for a solution to this worlds problems. The fact that he made me feel that way is real in my eyes.

​​@@johnbags2525No, he's not. There are people who are weirdly political who pretend they are not political at all and are free thinkers, but when there's a viral incident or talking point in the partisan media that speaks to their biases, they go out all over the internet and comment on videos and posts for creators they never knew about before just to insert their politics into new places. That's when you get cringy comments like this. These people pretend like they are enlightened and everyone who disagrees with them is a 🐑 who is brainwashed by their media, but they somehow all say the same things about the same viral conversation piece that they were told about by the same partisan media as everyone else talking about it. It's so predictable, and I found it hilarious that this artist bashed the GOP for using this song at their debate and trying to co-opt his message when he says this song is as much about them and the media that hyped the song in the first place as it is about the machine on the other side of the aisle. And before anyone calls me out, I think this is a good song by a talented artist, and the problem I'm talking about happens on both sides of the aisle. Politics just makes people turn their brains off and act like weirdos.

Gretsch needs to sponsor him. Getting a ton of exposure out of the blue.

thankfully it’s good ole boys town down there in FarmVille (yes that’s the real name of that town). We keep family close 👍

MILLLLIONNNS OF US... Hang in there.😇

A beautiful chord progression, the Gm sets the tone on this 4 chord cycle. He really touches the music to the lyrics here. Gm I've been selling my soul D# Working all day A# Overtime hours for F Bullshit pay Gm So I can sit out here D# And waste my life away A# Ride back home and drown my F Troubles away It is a damn shame, we have woke up to a nightmare.

You're right, the Feds are probably already looking for him.

My granddaughter is pregnant with her 2nd son. The first is 2. Her husband works 60 hours a week on a road crew in New Mexico. 100 plus degree temps in the desert. Busts his ass for that shit pay. Good kids seriously scraping by living in an RV following the work. This song made me cry as their grandma. I sent it to them in solidarity to let them know someone else knows what they are going through and they are not alone.

keep fighting the good fight Justin .....I hope we can all rally round the flag and save each other and fight for each other till we fix the rich men up north.

R you me?😢

Bless you, Justin. Yr doin God's work.

@@cl5193 I don't work In the desert but I do work In a manufacturing plant. The temperatures hit 100+ every day at work so I both know and share his pain but It's 110+ worth every drop of sweat, every ache and every morning you'd much rather throw the alarm clock through the wall and call Into work. Just being able to pay the bills and provide everything that my wife and son needs every week Is thanks enough for me. Seeing my sons face light up when he gets to pick out his weekly toy and the feeling of him standing at the front door as I pull up In the driveway every evening Is well worth any and everything work may throw my way. Prayers for you, your daughter and son. I pray she has a wonderful and safe pregnancy and delivery!

He's got his guitar, and we, untalented types, have our Ar-15s...maybe we should get together and deal with the Men North of Richmond...

Absolutely! This man literally walked out of the mountains and sung us his soul!

I mean, I love cheesecake as much as the next guy, but this song is a steak. And these days I gotta watch what I eat.

Bingo! Same here. Took the words from my mouth, same age too.

i always tear up when i read the part of the gospels as Jesus is about to be crucified

I'm 54 and cried as well. Stay strong brother.

It's not leadership, it is the lack of representation by those we have elected to represent us all. They would love to be known as "leaders" but at the end of the day they are traitors to this Nation, us, and the world.

Back in the late 1990s, I could already assess the lack of leadership and the trend of education facilities producing 'mental-midgets'.

What's really interesting is that this song appeals to both the right and the left. And I wish that would be a catalyst to understand that the bullshit we don't like on both sides is not the fault of the other side. Its the rich men. Politicians and CEOs, both.

The problem is we have been waiting for God to handle our business for too long. We the People are the only hope.

Are drummers not musicians lol? I used to drum and mainly play guitar now but drummers are vital to most music.

Change dollar to pound, and north to east, and it applies to you, mate

I was so glad to see your post. I wondered if this had reached across the pond at all and if it had what y'all thought about it. I think we are all plagued by those who want to have total control. Blessings to you, cousin.

Was thinking the same thing. It's literally been covered by the entire conservative sphere as well.

@@immikeurnot that's great bro, the original video ain't even posted on HIS youtube channel. How much money is he making off of this?

Then why do so many of you hard-working, blue collar people in the flyover states continue to support and vote for a serial conman like defendant Trump, whose biggest achievement in office was to explode the deficit via gifting massive tax breaks to millionaires, billionaires and corporations, so that in his one and only four year term he alone is responsible for one quarter of the total US deficient from all of the time between George Washington and Joe Biden? While at the same time cutting back on many of the things that would help you hard-working, blue collar people in the flyover states. He has pulled off the biggest smoke and mirrors con trick in US history by convincing people with little, that he has their best interests at heart, while actually doing what benefits the wealthy like him and his own kind. Wake up America!

Some of us living on the coast in California feel this way too. The politicians don't care about us (except for maybe Rand Paul and RFK, Jr., though he's not yet a politician.) And the message of stoicism rings true - we need to take care of what we can take care of and leave the rest to God.

Excluding media and academia of course. They will have fact checks and corrections for lesser people getting “uppity” from this.

Me too! You guys are going through as much (or more) tyranny as the US!

Y'all got those same rich men north of Richmond there too

It's no different for you north of the border, they're the same men doing the same things. We're all feeling this way, my Canadian cousin.

Me too from UK

It's the same all around the world. There is always enough money for wars but not to help the hungry and the sick

The new "rebel yell"!!!

He needs to be a senator!!

You got that right. It is a war cry. The tyrants better be wary. America won its Independence with War Crys pretty much like this one. Thomas Paine would have said it's just "Common Sense".

The only song I can think of that came close was Clouds by Zach Sobiech, a song made by a young man dying of cancer.

I've never 'seen' a song so many people can relate to. And it's not the chords or lyrics (even though they are amazing)... It's the raw emotion 🥲

Reminds me of Brian Wilson - I guess I just wasn't made for these times 🎶

I felt that line deep in my soul

So sorry. We all need to know the EMBEZZLING SCAM the liars in power have been doing so we can change the inhumane system and realize the readily available solutions to IMPROVE our lives, like the Job Guarantee, as one example (see the proposal by Pavlina Tcherneva). We also need to know Jury Nullification so the corrupt oppressors can't keep incarcerating everyone. But mainly, we need to know how the sociopathic money ADDICTS in power have been embezzling fiat government money so we can end their reign; they are totally derelict in their duty and unfit to govern. Here is the MINIMUM we need to know: 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

Guess that you work at the post office! 😊

​@@iloveschicken6527They are doing it to the whole world. Most people haven't seen what's going on in C h ina right now.

Okay unhooked my dad where's a recovering alcoholic and helped so many people quit drinking and as a little girl I would get the coffee donuts and cookies ready for the people at the meeting that would come in to know what one of the things that people needs to live by it's one of the AAA sayings one day at a time and to know the difference pulled up Google and live by it now that I know the truth about him I will be following for him and praying for him and I would love to hear more songs from here is heart of the daily struggles that we feel and were right there with him to never give up God is right there with us God bless and amen

I definitely want to know more about him now

Oliver is loved, ❤️🙏🇺🇸🙏❤️

Maybe a better way to say it is that we all have the power within us to surrender to God. Jesus the Christ is the way, the truth, and the life and He will ALWAYS have your back if you let him.

Jesus Christ has not come before God our creator our God is our God he is above us all what's a lot of people do not understand that like it says in the Bible the number one ten commandment nobody is supposed to worship above him people seems to forget we would not even be here if it would not be for our father our creator and Jesus is the one that it will be our savior that will guide us and he does what God tells him to do just a like we need to do like God tells us to do God brought Jesus down here so let us know can follow what he and yes I said he the one that created the Bible the world everything says she just did not do it God did people needs to understand that you worship God before anyting

Truth. I am in New Zealand and we are dealing with the same corrupt leadership as the US. This could be a worldwide anthem.

@@lyndenwallis8183 God bless you from across the globe 🌎 🇺🇸❤️

Yes it did

@sandra, truth IS NOT SUBJECTIVE. Either something is true, based on OBJECTIVE FACTS, or it’s not. Therefore, there’s NO SUCH THING as “my truth”, or “our truth”, or “your truth”, because that implies that truth differs according to each person, that it’s based on feelings, which are subjective, rather than facts, which are objective. There’s only THE TRUTH, based on FACTS, which don’t care about your feelings (or mine, or anyone else’s). Anything other than fact based truth is propaganda. The world is full of people pushing propaganda out and calling it “truth”. Learn the difference, because truth is very important. Whenever I hear someone say “my truth”, etc., my mind immediately recognizes they are putting out propaganda, trying to push their feelings as being truth, and it’s not. Just like when I hear “THE science”, which can never be questioned, I immediately recognize it as being a Iie, pseudoscience, propaganda, because Science is based on questions, and if you’re not allowed to question the validity of something, then it’s NOT true Science. How in the world has society come to a point where they don’t know truth IS NOT subjective, and true Science INVITES people to QUESTION IT? The dumbing down of society is on open display by people who don’t know these 2 FACTS.

@@Redeemed.of.YHVH.thru.Christthat’s the problem. People think Truth is “Subjective” because society has aloud them to do so. The Sky is Blue is TRUTH. Water is wet is a TRUTH. There are only 2 Genders is a TRUTH. You been brain washed to believe that you can make your own TRUTH and that’s the whole problem!!

Yeah, my truth started with liberals on college campuses, this dude is just spitting out facts, formerly known as the truth.

There is no “our” truth. That’s Marxist doctrine There’s only one truth.

​@exclusivityinchristishatdb5520 in short. Truth belongs to no one but God. We just get to witness it. Some will deny it. Some claim ownership over it. Some attack it. I try live and study it. I fall short, but I know there's only one Truth. The universe doesn't make sense with 8 billion different versions existing simultaneously 😅 cmon now....string theory? I can't stand that lie either, "my/our/your truth" thanks for saying something lol

The voice! Pain all shot thru.

3:0Clock I love this song Anthony wrote it tells it like it is and how this Government is and these politicians are I've worked hard all my life . And still trying to do something I'm 76 years old God has help me all through these years of my life !! Politicians wanting power don't care about the people of the United States . And the pay I was getting was Just penny's and people still working for penny's these taxes are to high and everything else! I thank God that he's in control if he wasn't it would really be bad.
