FIRST TIME LISTEN | Oliver Anthony - Rich Men North Of Richmond | REACTION!!!!

[@Adam-vs2in]

Oliver crushed all kinds of evil in this one. The scumbags in DC to the traffickers. What’s amazing about this is I’ve never ever seen so many people react to a song like this, especially by someone nobody even knew a week ago. He spoke for us 99%. God bless y’all.

[@odochartaighofodonegal2351]

Isn't that the American dream ? - people will flock to you if you have something to sell that they NEED (not want)

[@dancalestini5698]

Is it any wonder that so many men are checking out the expectations the woman the way society expects us to act & react men with integrity and honesty that busts their ass everyday for fucking what? Your wife might have your back does she really? I was married 32 years things were great at first eventually especially if you have kids she will eventually ignore you like my wife did But I still worked and busted my ass with little or no recognition because she was used to it and no matter what I did it wasn’t good enough this song is Brilliant our fucking government doesn’t give 2 shits about you and me I know I shaved 10 years off my life making sure my wife & kids were happy and all these years later I’m not happy how the fuck does that work I’m one of hundreds of thousands that did what they did unfortunately we are not happy with everything and hardly anything

[@NeoMK]

Hey y'all we all tired. But look at money like this. It is an exchange of work performed for goods or services performed. That's all it is. Now taxes? We ain't gonna go there.

So I was back at square one… min wage here back then in early 2000’s- 10 was 7-8 $ …

[@dukecunning7046]

I've watched about 100 reactions (can't get enough of them). Strange, it is never mentioned, so far, about Illegal Aliens getting Welfare (I live in Texas). I can only attribute it to the fact that we listening are in such a "come-together" , patriotic moment that we aren't thinking about that. I kind of feel a little bad bringing it up because I feel so much love for my fellow watchers (of this video) loving this moment of Truth. Oh well.

[@tracypolselli1464]

It sounds like you used it exactly as it should be. Which I think we all can agree on that it’s a good thing when not abused. Good for you. I don’t know you but I’m proud of you, had a friend do the exact same thing for her and her four children.

[@vahawaiian]

As a young boy living in California back in the 1980s, welfare put food on our table for years. YES, my mom abused that for a while as well. But eventually, she busted her ass got clean, and got off welfare. Then she learned a skill in her 30's after I left her to live with my dad, after another 10 years working as a maid, getting her GED, learning to be a paramedic she finally got a good job, Where she wasnt in poverty anymore. She hated being in welfare too.

[@JohnDennis-kidneypa]

I’ve listened to probably fifty reviews of this song for three days and I feel a connection with everyone reviewing and everyone commenting. We all have more in common than we think and these politicians want to keep us all divided. I get chills and tears every time I hear this song.

[@ChristaFree]

It's the most powerful song I've heard in a very long time. It hits your soul directly. It's resonating with ALL Americans. Even people in other countries. A local radio station came out to his land and recorded this and posted it just a few days ago. He's so surprised. Lol. He lives off grid with his dogs. A month ago he was struggling with alcohol and depression. That's why the high suicide rate of young men in our country is addressed in the song. He fell on his knees and prayed to God. It was after that the radiowv scouted him and recorded this. He has several songs on the top 10. The rest of his songs are recorded from his iPhone lol. He played at the farmers market yesterday and there was standing room only. Everyone was singing along. There was 25 acres of parked cars! Instead of plugging himself or his social media he started his performance with reading from psalms about how the wicked will not prevail. He said last month he played for 20 people. When you said he had an angelic voice you were spot on. He's reaching all of us.

[@papierebitte2029]

I read the same story and listened to Oliver's video "A pleasure to meet you" he put on KZbin August 7 before this songs viral release. He talks about this recording and how it will be the first one with a real camera and microphone. I have listened to it a hundred times and this old guy tears up every time. Praying for Oliver to stay humble and for God to guide him through this unexpected reaction to his song.

Never watched this channel before, loved your reaction! As a 52yr Aussie man supporting 3 children at home, i’ve worked full-time since my teens to build a life. Every lyric in this song hit me so hard. My children have only ever seen me cry once,when my father died, and I had to go hide when i heard this song as it had me sobbing and i didn’t want them to see me. That might seem odd to some, but the absolute pressure to always be a pillar of strength and provide is sometimes overwhelming, but in doing it for so long i don’t know a different way . This song just laid out how I and I know so many others feel, tired, frustrated and just beaten by life. I needed that good cry, thank you Oliver.

he’s number one in the entire world on apple music right now, and a week ago he was basically a nobody. i don’t even know the man yet i tear up thinking of how he must feel due to such success, and even better that he earned that success by speaking for the soul of the working man.

[@robinhatcher8021]

I'm retired now, but for 25 years, I was a protectictive services social worker for children and elderly in my state. There was an income cap on every college degree you had, and only way to increase your pay was to get a higher degree. My ex husband left my child and I for another woman and didn't pay child support or alimony and he left me with a 1st and 2nd mortgage to pay in addition to household bills. I tried to get foodstamps to help us but was told I didn't qualify! Yet I saw others, sitting on their butts all day at home, CHOOSING not to work and their grocery carts were PILED HIGH with everything in the world plus gorgeous cuts of meat while my son and I were living on hot dogs and hamburger helper. It was so unfair. But I was blessed in fact that my father was a farmer, so we had fresh vegetables that we picked and froze in summer, to eat in winter. Many nights we ate waffles to fill us up. I couldn't afford to go back to school to get another degree to increase my pay. I was too damn exhausted to think straight when I got home plus I had to help my son with his 3 hrs of homework every night so when would I have time to do my own? I didn't. But yet I didn't qualify fir ANY programs to help us? It was a dark time but I kept my head down and kept pushing. It's all any of us can do. Make payment arrangements with your utility companies to line up with your paychecks, utilize food pantries and school supply giveaways, and shop thrift stores and garage sales all you can till things get better. So, to whoever reads this, if you need words to encourage you, let me tell you this, keep pushing forward and utilize whatever resources you can find to help yourself. You may have to dig deep to find them, but they are there and you WILL make it. Send love, blessings and hugs to all! Thank you dear sir for your reaction. May God bless you always. ❤❤🎉🎉😊

[@amyB1977]

I can relate to your story so much. A few differences, but like you, in my time of greatest need (it was medical), I didn't qualify for help. I made it, and so can others, they just might need to get creative. I pray our country turns around. Bless you and yours.

I’ve been stuck watching reactions to this song for days now. I can’t seem to get enough. I guess I just love seeing everyone coming together over something. Finally. I heard you say this goes to the ‘blue collar’ community. I just want to say that it also goes to the white collar as well. It’s for every one of us that are not in that elite, top 1 or 2 or 3 percent. I was blue collar most of my life. One day I decided to take out that student loan and go to college and now I’m white collar. But we still struggle our asses off. The wife and I are still paycheck to paycheck most of the time. I don’t want to seem like I’m lying in to one sentence you said, trying to tear it down or anything like that. Just want to make it clear that this song is resonating with all of us in the bottom 98%. I’ve seen people try to claim that this is a right-wing conservative anthem. And I push back on that too. It’s not right or left. It’s for all of us that wake up everyday and work our asses off. Yes, I’m white collar, and liberal(ish), but I still work my ass off every day. And my wife’s a nurse, you best believe she does as well. We have 3 kids. And we make too much money to even consider getting any assistance. Yet, we don’t make enough money to take the kids to Disney. We’re just stuck working everyday to pay our bills and keep us all fed and clothed. Sorry. This shouldn’t be this long. Love this song. Love seeing all the reactions. Love seeing people come together to relate to the same struggles. We gotta get out of our political tribes and start working together to demand more for ourselves and our country. Peace and love bro.

Read it and know His word is encouragement to His people. God speaks through Oliver's lyrics.

[@billbradley4878]

It is a sadly timeless song. 100 years ago the Battle of Blair Mountain happened, the largest labor uprising in US history. And it happened in that part of the world, Appalachia. And it was coal miners, wish politicians would look out for miners. Those labor movements led to gains that eventually, along with other factors, got us into the 50s and 60s when you could get a livable wage job with a high school diploma and get a house, a car, and raise a family on a single income. The decline since the 70s has been dramatic and we are right back to where we were in 1921 when the Battle of Blair Mountain happened.

Sadly almost unknown history now.

[@onegurl9]

Thank you for the history lesson. We needed to hear this.

[@Letyourcolorsblendwithmine]

They used machine guns on protesters, you can still find she'll casings from when they cut people down who just wanted a decent life.

[@Snoriffej]

It’s where the term “redneck” came from referring to the red hankerchief around the pro-union miner’s necks in the largest battle on US soil since the civil war

[@joseywales1150]

What do you think is about to happen??? Something is coming, at least I pray we won’t fight anymore amongst ourselves. We can’t so much work to do and no one man can fix it. I have been selling my soul, your souls have already been bought by The blood Jesus Christ and He wants His property back!!! Our souls are wasting away

[@miked5562]

I've watched every reaction video I could find on this song and your reaction is perfect - I like how Oliver's pained and soulful voice reaching for those high notes makes you scrunch up your face like that - I do the same thing every time I hear him do it. And like you said, he's got the perfect voice for the words that are coming out of his mouth. Also love how you stomp in your seat and holler "FACTS!!" - I was doing the same damn thing. This is one of the best songs I've heard in many, many, many years. Thanks for your awesome reaction!

[@SuperchiefApache]

You ain’t lyin!!!

[@elkabong2897]

This guy, this song single handedly brought the working class together across the world!!

[@michellerussell-rm9im]

They actually played this song on the production floor and EVERYONE stopped working and listened when it ended EVERYONE cheered. I cried tears of happiness and pride.

[@rrowe1961]

Loved your reaction, while all the media educators and politicians are working as hard as they can to keep us divided, so we don’t notice what they are doing to keep EVERYONE down. You spoke truth when you said Oliver is speaking for everyone. It’s not “race” it’s ALL of us. God Bless you and your family my AMERICAN brother, from a paler mother!

[@lunapuella2611]

His soul is crying out and millions of souls are hearing it all around the world, including this soul in the UK.

[@AlaskaPants]

When the message is divine, the song sings the man. Thank you Oliver.

[@gingerleamcwow435]

I love seeing people react to the very first line of the song! Notice how you immediately set up straighter and leaned in closer?? He really does reach out and pull you in by your very soul! We needed this now more than ever. We're exhausted and FED UP. Our men are given unrealistic pressures and expectations and nothing is ever enough! Long live Oliver Anthony! ❤

[@pattygibson9733]

Angelic voice with a true story of us real Americans of desperate ,hopeless,tired and I'm a lady in this story! Powerfull!!! United🇺🇸

[@tanis1111]

Amen I agree with everything you said and the Anthony sang about. What a powerful song it's uniting all of us because we are fighting the same dang enemy....the Rich man North of Richmond!

[@Kathryne0816]

My take on this is that the government (Fed, State, Local) has their hands so far down in my pocket that they should AT LEAST take me out to dinner. I started working at age 12 - babysitting, but it's a job - and at 18, I made the $2.62 minimum wage and was able to save half my paycheck. Before I was laid off and retired, I made over 60K and barely kept body and soul together because of all the nickel and dime taxes and fees levied by everybody and his brother. Love Oliver Anthony! Great song - I just hope enough people hear it.

[@lethalviolet]

Right!!! I’ve worked since I was 16 now 36 and seems like I can never get ahead.. I’m always just on the edge but can’t get there. Frustrating!! I work 60 hours a week and still can’t keep afloat! 😢

[@Marcie0613]

In my 59 years I've never seen anything like this . 6 days ago unknown. So many people uniting in these words.

[@slimpickens5959]

EVERY HARD WORKING MAN SHOULD BE TOUCHED BY THIS SONG AND THIS MAN SINGING TRUTH WITH ALL HIS SOUL!!! AMAZING!!!

[@sevenonsunday3968]

I think it's awesome how you grinned thinking about how you wanted to share this with your wife because you know she will connect! That's love there. We all could use more love!!!

[@markbenge563]

This man’s true words are so real and so true that it will make A good man cry. Amen. Love all Americans Amen. Mark from Tennessee 🙏🏻🙏🏻

[@charlescane8723]

RAY, YOU'RE 💯🔥🇺🇸❣️ THE GOVERNMENT DOESN'T EARN MONEY, THEY TAKE MONEY EARNED BY THE MAJORITY 💔 KEEP UP THE GOOD WORK BRUH, AND SPEAKING THE TRUTH... AND....GLAD TO SEE YOU NOT IN THE HOSPITAL ❣️

[@rayc5577]

Who would thought that one song can unite a country.

[@cynthianayyar407]

Ive watched about 20 reactions of this song the last two days...i have to say, yours is the best reaction. I love the truth and passion you spoke threw this. We all feel this song. We are all living this song.

[@chasb7771]

💯

[@georgejackman9007]

This is a song of unification that transcends race, class, and culture. It is the “rich men north of Richmond” that sow chaos and division amongst the people. This is a ballad for the common man/woman striving to get somewhere and getting nowhere. Love your review.

[@sylviabibler3036]

I’m enjoying the reactions to this song and this young man. I’m almost 80, next month so we’ve been around a long time. Blessings to you and yours.

[@jamietwigg5152]

The line " Young men putting themselves 6ft in the ground is about 22 vets that take the lives every 24 hours, one every 65 minutes. God Bless our Vets.

[@BoltUpright190]

I've watched many reaction videos to Oliver's song, and this is by far my favorite. This song reveals that no matter what we're told to believe, we're really not that different from each other. This old Carolina boy has your back my man.

[@kdailey4315]

PREACH!!!! We all want the same thing. Some of us have different ideals and ideas on how to achieve that but we all want the same thing. The Rich Men North of Richmond have successfully divided us.

[@septicaussie8530]

I subscribed after watching your reaction. Loved your authentic style & commentary. OA with this song relayed alot of truth in 3 minutes in a beautiful way. This is meaningful & impactful art. We all need to support & Pray for him. OA has stepped to the front, raised the flag & faces the enemy of the 99%.

[@elizabitty213]

Oliver Anthony just bursted onto the scene and grabbed us all with this song He did an incredible job and his voice is so beautiful and captivating You should check out his other songs they are great too! ❤😅 “Ain’t gotta dollar” “Doggin it” Those two are a good start

[@darleneh7740]

Love your reaction. His song echoes the feeling of our country… 🇺🇸❣️

[@deniserondeau7545]

Love your reaction. This song is touching so many people. It is uniting us, unlike those north of Richmond who want us divided.

[@fredomadeit4875]

17:48, I felt all of that. Your reaction is fantastic and I appreciate it brother! Keep going.

[@mb93111]

This reaction has been the best so far, energy humor and truth. What a work of art this song is. This gives me hope that AI won't take over, good luck having a computer write something this real

[@T.C.Trott.Homestead]

Everyone's anthem!! This man spoke to my soul ❤

[@philipsc4225]

Oliver Anthony gets it!!!! And you are helping to wake others up. God bless!!!!

[@kimcress1857]

Love your reaction, you just earned a subscriber. We all need to come together, white, black, rich, poor…get back to how we used to be! 🇺🇸🇺🇸

[@Bestoftexashomes]

Every time I listen to this song it gives me chills. His other songs are beautiful too!

[@stacymangan6785]

I’m not a big country music fan but this man is something special! Chills every time I hear it! Unite the world!

[@_Pam_3.14]

I love how it spoke to your soul so much, that even at the beginning you subliminally understood the message... then totally went atomic (in a good way lol) when he said exactly what you just said lol ❤️👏!! This is a once in a lifetime song and talent THAT WE ALL NEED!!! Awesome reaction!!!

[@vibereacts05]

Wow, thank you! I appreciate u

[@DJSimmerz]

If you all haven't seen it yet, check out the live set he did in a farmers market where hundreds of people showed up to hear him perform. Amazing!

[@beccagee5905]

1,500 and they all knew the words to "Rich Men North of Richmond, and sang with him. I think he was in shock, but the crowd seemed to energize him, he was bouncing up and down. It was amazing.

[@Jada-vz3ie]

recently turning to christian values, and he read from his bible and at the end of that psalm, his lip quivered fighting back emotions. Who does that. Just this amazing dude. He's doing what Jesus wants him to do.

[@godslayermobilegaming8059]

👏👏👏THANK YOU SIR👏👏👏 Since this song came out I watched close to 100 reaction videos for it and you are the ONLY ONE to acknowledge EVERY part of this song. You didn't cherry pick NOTHING. You looked at the whole message and said FACTS!!!!! THANK YOU Now that you've heard the message, what are we gonna do?

[@bluenowhere71]

Angelic... You hit it right on the head. It's that special glow that the world needs. This man needs to be protected.

[@mommyyoungblood]

47 yr old Pentecostal white woman, new subscriber due to yhis video. Thank you for continuing to unite the world ❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤
