Oliver, I just wanted you to know that you are an angel sent from the heavens above. Your song "gotta get sober" made me want to get sober. I was drinking an 18 pack with liquor, smoking 2 packs every day. I felt like my family would cope better if it was just alcohol poisoning rather than suicide. You made me realize life is worth living bro. I know how humble you are after watching you any chance I get for the past week but, I really appreciate your music inspiring me to be better. I also want you to know that I love all your songs and literally listen to them everyday since I first heard of you several days ago.

Love this song - my mom's youngest of 9, from holler in Kentucky, gramps coal miner gone before I met him from cancer, grandma dementia by time I was 4 and crazy, my mom's been troubled her whole life from the dirt poor conditions in those coal mining hills from her youth - remember visiting as a kid to see my crazy uncle who lived in their childhood home till he died, roof falling in, black bare feet and black and white photos of uncle Jr. who served in WW2 still on the wall. That was 35 years ago and that house on the hill has been swallowed up by the trees long ago now. This song rings true sir.

[@overrunwithboys216]

I never heard this song before till I found this cover, looked up the original by Jamey Johnson... LOVE the song by both, great to see he got to sing it with Jamey at the Morris Farm. Reading some of these comments are choking me up. I find myself a bit obsessed with Oliver here, crazy as I never cared for Country -ever...but here I am, loving this VOICE , the humbleness, the REAL factor...

Thank you for this, as I wipe away my tears. 99% of the population does not remember or hold onto the memories and the heritage that their family has given them. I have thousands of black and white photos from families where they didn’t care to even keep the photos. I collected stories from my father so I could keep those in my heart just like you collected stories that you could keep in your heart. My grandfather died before I was born so I got it many stories as I could for my dad now that he’s past I’m the only one who has the stories nobody else in my family cared about them.

[@isabellaanderson9241]

My son is a Vet. He has shared some of his stories. It got me thinking about how many of us know our parent's stories, our grandparents' stories? How many can say they know much about their family story? I wonder. How may of us know our children's stories. Are families closer today or farther away emotionall. As families... do we connect and share our real deep and organic stories... or just the ones that can be shared in 60 seconds or less? I wonder. It seems there is no time and more and more times we share less and less as families... because of the time it takes to make money to support our family. It seems to me what they fought for worked for is being taken away...it seems our time is being taken away to make and know those stories. Good stuff.
