[@SharonLongfellow-p7b]

This song needs to be heard right across all states and definitely needs To become a number one hit with all the proceeds going into a rebuild fund .To help the people that called this beautiful place home 🏡and also a great big thank you to the many people that are helping with the massive cleanup . Blessings to you all ❤ And thank you john for the upload take care ❤ from Sharon longfellow

[@lisaclark852]

Who sings it?

[@jerryreed1044]

I agree with you on this song

[@wendyr435]

Yeah it would be a whole lot better if it was an actual person singing it. Sung by AI is unacceptable.

[@joanmerriken9216]

I love that song and like to know the artist who wrote it and name of song.

[@JedT1L]

Yes, the song touches my heart. And I’m sure it will touch and move the hearts of caring, loving, patriotic Americans across this nation. Maybe worldwide? I will purchase when available.

[@maryloomis8075]

God bless you gentlemen for the work you do for free, for these homeowners.

[@HR-zj3eo]

This will probably get buried in the comments, but I just want to say, my heart is with my Appalachian brothers and sisters. I'm from the midlands of South Carolina, but visit Boone, NC several times a year. Appalachia is my second home. Your towns were beautiful and will be again. Please know that my family and I are donating and working with Samaritan's Purse and helping how we can. Please know that you're not alone. ❤

[@Girlinthemtns8448]

Thank you so much for 'being with us'

[@vickicaldwell8320]

Thank you so much! Samaritans Purseis a wonderful group. Help tell others that we will need help for a long time. God is here!

[@todayisit3]

So often, these devastated areas are soon forgotten, and the news media moves on to other things. Thanks for keeping this story and, more importantly, these people and their communities before us. How soon we forget.

[@passionatepatriot7272]

Don’t stop making videos keep the people thinking about it. Social media will make people move on ❤❤❤❤

[@Dari-b5g]

Wait untill you experience loosening everything. I can not yet drive the roads to find out what happened yet. I like to see and hear. So I can send supplies needed. I learn what rescue groups are working in what area . This is going to take more years then we know. A new normal.normal.

[@garysuper5338]

You could probably count on one hand the number of hours of sleep Jake has had in the last week. I pray God will bless and strengthen him and all those who are helping.

[@tagladyify]

Too much happening every where. Last night Oklahoma had multiple large tornados with no warning.

[@tagladyify]

Max was covering it on KZbin. He said National radar was short handed. Smh!

[@debby891]

The strength of those that have had to endure so much just brings tears to my eyes. It is so heartbreaking to see everything they owned, homes, their beautiful land and possessions swept away by nature. Their sense of community, people coming together, strength and faith is showing the world that the human spirit is far stronger than anything else. God bless you all as you go through the recovery, rebuilding and grief at loss. This song needs to become a #1 hit❤

[@bobmcpherson2599]

JOHN,KEEP UP THE GREAT WORK WORK,UR CHANNEL IS SPECIAL TO ALOT OF PEOPLE.

[@ronburdick5346]

Thanks to all that traveled many miles to help these people ❤ you make this world a better place❤

[@blawknox]

Just that song....dang...I'm a 63 yr old man and that song along with the video brought tears to my eyes. I wish the rest of the Country could come together like these people do. We're all in it together till the end. God bless each and everyone doing their part in this horrible situation 🙏

[@ko4otv43]

This is America right here!! Love to see people help lift people's spirits in such harsh times. Bless all of you and all your hard work that you are doing for these communities!!

I've never shed so many tears over one event 💔 God bless all these wonderful people ❤

[@susankoster5644]

My heart goes out to everybody affected by this tragedy. Sending ❤ from South Africa. Praying for you all

[@afdraftsrmandy3176]

John, this is what you were made to do. Thank you for showing what is truly going on. We can tell it has affected you deeply. Prayers lifted for you as well as all those affected.

[@cyndeelou-i1e]

[@miric6224]

Thank you for helping. Big yellow machine drivers are artists! Love and prayers.❤❤❤

[@chattsignal]

SONG: fyi…RICK MORELAND is listed as the song writer in the video description on this channel ‘3 days ago’ however there is no link, website, yt channel, etc. No info to give direct access for people who want it. The only place I’ve been able to find / hear the song is on this channel. Hopefully the owner of this channel can fix that for Rick Moreland and anyone who wants to hear his beautiful tribute. ☮️ Edit: I appreciate this channel for showing the real story of what the people are enduring. I wish them all the best in their recovery from this unimaginable devastation. ❤

[@lisaclark852]

Thank you for the info on the song. It's beautiful and definitely needs to be heard by all.

[@wendyr435]

The song is sung by AI. It deserves to be sung by a human.

[@daisyb282]

It is an AI generated song.

[@charleysmusic6596]

It would be awesome if a big name would record this with benefits of the sales going to a long term recovery fund for the areas devastated by Helene.

[@bethelbailey1925]

If this is an AI song, then maybe you could get in touch with the artists that did the benefit concert in Charlotte and they could all record and donate?

[@sylviaashworth5851]

John THANK YOU for what you are doing by being a true voice of what is truly happening in these areas. I LOVED you starting off and ending with the wonderful song . Mountain people have always loved music and even in the dark days music is good for the soul. 🙏❤🙏 GOD BLESS 🇺🇸

[@HeatherLedford-s3p]

Father God in the name of Jesus. Please Dear Lord continue to give strength 💪 to these hard working men that are accomplishing the devastation from hurricane 🌀 Helene. Also be with everyone that has lost everything and including family. My thoughts and prayers go out to everyone. Thank you so very much John Ward for everything you do on your awesome 💯😎 channel. FOR THE GOD ON THE MOUNTAIN 🏔️ HE'S STILL GOD IN THE VALLEY, WHEN THINGS GO WRONG HE'LL MAKE THEM RIGHT, AND THE GOD OF GOOD TIMES HE'S STILL GOD IN THE BAD TIMES, THE GOD OF DAY HE'S STILL GOD IN THE NIGHT 🌉 AMEN AND PRAISE GOD.

[@arlynbricksin8008]

not the media, but the CHURCH. From Arizona 15 ppl come with heavy equipment after local Saluda NC Church said they could use help. This video is awesome, soon visitors can return, ppl can get commerce up and running again, sustainably ❤

[@lynnward118]

I love this song and love to see everyone in unity, it brings tears to my eyes. Even with the devastation the trees are still beautiful. Thank you John for all of these videos and thank you for each person that is helping with the clean up. You are in my prayers! :) This is a reminder that love conquers all!

[@CharleneWagner-u7s]

My Mom use to donate to the Appalachian fund regularly. She’d be so heartbroken 💔. My Mom was raised in the hills of Va and was a hillbilly all her life. She understood poor and being without ❤️🙏🏻

[@sandypierce6987]

I'm 62 and I've been a proud hillbilly from (Almost Heaven) WV. I've traveled to almost every state in the USA & a few countries but living here around the Appalachian mountains is where I will take my last breath. We believe in helping our neighbors, watching out for the elderly and when a tragedy happens we all pitch in. We are proud, resourceful and giving. We are here on earth to help our fellow humans. God Bless each and every person down there on their own dime, helping these amazing people from KY & TENN. It will come back to you tenfold!!

[@neco4114]

Wow, I Mean WOW. This was an absolutely wonderful song. The song in the beginning of the video. It's very sad, Very sad, but very well done. The storm took all, but not our souls, our compassion, our Hope, our Care.. God Bless All. God be with these people. Very well Done!

[@rogertemple7193]

Awesome to see everyone still working cleaning up after the storm God Bless You All Thank You.🏘️💓🏘️

[@geraldskinner63]

Unreal! The fact that these folks can only take advantage of free waste removal is if "it's on the side of the road" is appalling. Fema and the National guard etc should be clearing all the lots no questions asked. God Bless those folks helping with that.

[@producerk8247]

Hey John, please tell everyone you talk to, that we appreciate what they are doing and tell them to stay strong. They will prevail! Thanks again for the continuous coverage. Way better than any news channel.

[@nancyclark4917]

Keep making updates. The stories need to be told!

[@malibubarbie5349]

I'm your neighbor in Hendersonville...I knew it would be bad for y'all, but dreamed it would be this bad...Prayer's for all all that have been affected and thank you to all these helping hands...

[@renahobbs9794]

Thanks to everyone who's cleaning. Lot of great people their. And for you too.

[@Jackie.Verchot]

With every new video I watch, I just can't wrap my head around the devastation. It is unimaginable. Some of the towns I love in NC are gone and places I have hiked no longer exist. Thank you, John, for doing these videos. God Bless Jake and his crew along with the others helping in the area. 🙏

[@SimmonsLandCompany]

One of the most powerful songs I have ever heard. So well written and sung. Incredible, moving song that represents the true soul of the American people.

[@jennyandrews1671]

Keep posting, good to see Mr. Frank's place improving! So many haven't been understanding because lack of follow up's. Learning a lot, about the big yellow cat can go in the water. Great to see folks from all over the country coming together.

[@theappalachianchannel]

I agree, it's great to see the rebuild going well!

[@christafiorentina]

Sending u all positive thoughts and lots of prayers. ❤

The love, the community spirit, and all the total strangers coming from all over the world to help out is so heartwarming. Thank you to everyone involved in the cleanup, you are appreciated.

[@margaretnifong6419]

That song. Oh my gosh. Gives me goosebumps. Please credit the artist!

[@Turk_2023]

Artificial Intelligence is the artist lol

[@cindyblair6080]

Might be performed by AI, but Rick Morelock is listed as writer.

[@gracefarm394]

God bless you and the workers. Thank you for being considerate to the people during this time ❤🙏

So surreal to watch these homes that people have lived in and have memories good and bad being torn down.I pray that they will be able to rebuild go on with their lives Bless all the people that live there and the people who are helping them ❤

Thank goodness you are alive and talking about the loss! I am so sorry of all the lives that were lost after this Hurrican Helena and then another one droped all the rain in the Western NC Mountains!

[@lizbundick6334]

What a blessing Jake is! So good to see these hero’s!! Thank you John! You are following God’s calling “For such a time as this” God bless you!!

[@marcykerr6911]

Hi John , Thank you for your continous reporting on all the work that Jake , from Precision Grading, and his crew. And fast Fred, I remember your interview with him. Thank God that so many are helping him rebuild . Loved that new shed that they built for Fred. So heartbreaking 💔 of 35 homes lost in this horrific flooding . So appreciate your documenting all this . 😊

[@IrishTextileCraftsandMore]

Devastated and so angry the media is not showing. Glad God had you there. The song is great. Just keep praying. We care and we are and will continue to 🙏

[@liann3881]

The cable/tv media would be in the way. This format makes use of social media. So it is being covered. I have been binging KZbin videos from the locals for over a month, and still have unseen ones. Thanks to phones and video, we do have media of this horrendous event

[@bettymagana4166]

So sad seeing peoples’ little piece of heaven torn apart. So good of all of you to help.

[@chattsignal]

Where is the credit for the song? Please put a link to it and the artist somewhere on this channel. I did see his name at the bottom of the description on another video days ago. He deserves direct traffic to his beautiful tribute to the people who are enduring so much and the people who have shown up for them. I appreciate this channel as well… it does help get the true story out, maybe especially to those of us who want to donate directly to victims and heroes like Jake, Fred, and many many others. ☮️

[@ShellieCampbell]

I am so glad to hear a song so beautiful and hits all the emotions 😢😊 56:22

[@TheGregWallace]

Comment.....They say the next main problem will be to find original property lines because the actual property markers that surveyors use to mark and find property lines have washed away, which will make for a long hard time to find your actual property lines.

[@rt3box6tx74]

I believe those markers are available via satellite these days. Of course, the original markers are always preferred by property owners.

[@Senegal01]

The song made me cry!

[@joanneweislocher8540]

All Pray Warriors, let’s keep all these Heroes and Victims in our prayers 🙏 every day! God Bless you John, Precision Grading, Kings Excavation Etc. and everyone else helping. Keep up the videos John❤️🥰🙏✝️✝️🌹
