Hi guys! This is so cool! Anyway, Oliver Anthony has a channel with a couple of dozen of songs he recorded on his phone which you obviously found. Someone from RadioWV saw him perform and sent a crew with a real camera and a microphone to record him at his house. He lives off the grid in in Farmville Virginia. Those are his dogs and that big thing in the background is a deer blind, likely left over from the previous owners of the old farmhouse where he lives. He was a factory worker across the border in North Carolina which inspires a lot of his music.
Why do you say the deer stand is likely left over from previous owners? There is no farmhouse. He lives in a camper that has a tarp on the roof that he bought for $750. It is actually more likely that the deer stand is his. And there is nothing wrong with that.
Posted the comment before I knew about his Facebook account where he revealed his name and told us about the land and his living arangements. Even so, there may still be a farmhouse, one that is dilapidated and requires extensive renovation to be made habitable. Houses, especially ones with wood siding, fall apart rather quickly if there is no one living there and keeping them up. A lot of people who buy land from the estate of someone who has passed on have to live in a trailer or camper for years while they build a new house or make an old house livable. You can't get a conventional mortgage for a property with more than thirteen acres to buy a house in many states, you have to get a farm loan. I think you have to have at least a hundred acres to get a farm loan for undeveloped or land with prior agicultural use, and he only has eighty acres. As to the deer stand being his, I was just guessing it was something left over based on the apparent age. He could also have bought it used, or brought it from his folks place.
@@thehyperkids9574but at the same time, minors not just minors on an island somewhere! Where are all our kids disappearing to?! Trafficking is real, I think there’s 3 meanings here! And he’s spot on!
It’s not just your nation. It’s the world ! He has literally connected to the heart of millions across the world in just a few weeks. So many can relate to his songs !
It is sad to me that more people who arent from my country can relate to this song. I dont mean that in a bad way, just that i wish others didnt suffer the same way many of us do.
You guys should be commended for the way you communicate with each other. I just want to tell you how refreshing that is to see in young people today. Respect.
Christopher Lunsford (AKA Oliver Anthony) lives in Farmville, Virginia about 20 minutes from me. He has performed in some local venues, but I am SO glad the rest of the world gets to hear him now. He has had a tough life, but he owns a small farm now, and he is a devout Christian - if you hear him live you will hear him read from the Bible - he is the real deal. Hits message is FIRE. We all need to stop pointing fingers and blaming each other, and all join together to engage the real enemy - the Rich men north of Richmond.
I live in Luray which isn't far from him I need to find out where he plays I'd like to come listen to him man he's awesome and if he's a Cristian that just puts the icing on the cake Go man Go
Hey guys, this is my first time viewing your channel and id like to say you two are super cute togeather! But id like to share and I cant be positive, but when i hear the song i believe he was reffering to children when he sings about "minors on an island" as in the Epstien island situation and the child sex slave trade. I could be wrong though! Anyways, you two are a pleasure to watch, Stay you!
So I'm a 47 year old white guy from Vermont and I had the hit pause and walk away the first time I heard this song to. We walk different roads but we're stepped on by the same foot. The only divisions between people are the ones those with power create. ❤️
I want to let you guys know that you guys did a great job picking up the meaning of this song, I've actually seen a lot of reaction videos and they didn't pick up on some of the more important lines.great job!!
Leaving LA was the best thing we ever did. Flee while you can! You young couple just warmed this old man's heart. Keep finding those smiles together, even in the tough times.
Yesss!!! I think you guys are beautiful...it touched my heart after days of catching people’s reactions to this to see you also feel this in your heart and souls...I think that’s why this is so powerful. It’s from God...everything about it is amazing, his story of going thru what he sings about, asking God to help him be stronger and more ‘positive’ in his life, and then this. The cords, the melody’s the message, the soul in this recording is from high power! This is why it is constantly connecting with peeps....I am from England and this is relatable here too...reading the comments on all the reactions videos I’ve watched of this it seems to connect with everyone, from any nation....unless you’re rich and powerful we are all going thru the same and we all feel the same in our hearts and souls. God bless you two and everyone who hears this song and is moved by it. 💚
When you guys got up and started dancing I started crying because it was so touching... that is what I envisioned for all of God's children ..... Love, peace, and happines! God bless us ALL!
A farmer from West Virginia,, gave up beer and weed,, went to God, and found a place in this world,,, and is sharing his music with many now that the world is a place that is listening 🙏🙏🙏
You guys are the first ones to say he’s singing that from his soul because that’s how I feel it in my soul and he’s got everybody’s back with true words
The two of you nailed it again - heartfelt reaction to what could easily be an anthem for 85% of the American working population. Keep up the honest and open approach to your reactions - RU-vid specifically and "people like me" are uplifted by your presence. Thank you both.
Hoooly shit. I just want to say, ive worked in coal mines, not as a miner, but as shaft door maintenance, and you just blew my mind with the connection to minor & miner. Hats off to you for that. Cant believe i missed it.
Your girl quick. Most reaction videos I've seen people don't register everything he's saying right away but she's got the ears of a damn hawk lol. I already know she's not one to argue with 🤣
And our daddies, too. My poor Papaw worked himself to the grave at just 57, framing houses and doing autobody work. He never caught a break, died of cancer at home, surrounded by all of us kids. No health insurance, no yearly check-ups. :(
Yes we do. Watching my husband risk his life as a lineman, working insane hours. And our sons. We have all boys and as they grow up I watched as the weight of the world changed them. They’re young men now. My husband and I pray that they will be able to do better than we did. We feel successful because we came up out of nothing. Hard work and a ton of sacrifice.
This song has united the working class, blue collar workers, who are just trying to survive week to week, day to day. All the rich politicians causing division and don't care about all of us trying to live and work. I'm a new sub because yall are great at open discussions. Great Reaction.
This is the most Consequencal song of our lifetime! No matter your race, ethnicity, religion, or gender, WE ARE ALL IN THIS TOGETHER! This is now our nations rallying cry!🇺🇸 If you haven't hear Oliver Anthony's song "Rich Men North of Richmond" here it is.
It's awesome to see such a nice couple take the time to listen and absorb the meaning of the song together. Key word is together which is what this world needs to do very soon, get together. Bless you and your family with peace and love.
The guy has been making music for a long time. He posted this song at the right time and hit home with a lot of people. The man is an example of humility and a great messenger through his music. Essentially the opposite of what is served to the public through the big record labels.
It’s past 40 million now! He has released many other songs since this. All are real. He has 25 of the top 27 on iTunes. He started writing in 2020 during Covid he was depressed drank too much even other drugs. I call this song a world anthem to all poor and bottom hard working class!!!
@@leonardwashington6456 a government constrained by the limitations of the US constitution is as good as it gets. The absence of government is arguably worse than a strong mediocre government, there are some among us that need someone else to do their killing for them.
I completely enjoyed your video. We must keep Oliver Anthony's word out there. They are already attacking him in the mainstream & social media. Loved your openess & honesty. With young folks like you spreading the good news I'm a bit less concerned about the future of my grandchildren. Thanks from the bottom of my heart & I'm praying for you & your family. 🙏😿🔥 eM
Love from Australia, this song has gotten bigger than anyone ever imagined, this is every worker’s anthem in every nation. I still can’t listen to this without having an emotional reaction to it.
His Format (Song Writing Style) Is Tin Pan Alley He Also Likes To "Book End" His Songs (Starts And Ends With Same Lyrics)...And His Style Of Singing Is Called " Plaintiff Cry"....LOVE IT!!!
THE FREKIN DANCING AT THE END OF THIS MAKES THIS THE BEST REACTION TO HIS SONG BY MILES!!!!!! damn man, good vibes in, good vibes out....let's come together and make some lasting change everybody. With couples like this we still have a fighting chance against evil...God sees no color and we should aspire to be like HIM. Bless you both and thanks for the good vibe!
The line about young men putting themselves six feet underground makes me cry every. Single. Time. I have a little boy and I see how poorly our men and boys are treated in this country, and my heart breaks. So many souls hurting.
The one song that instantly united the people. Made us all take a step back. They don’t want us to critically think. Thank god for this man, god bless all of us with the strength and courage to face whatever is coming. No weapon formed against us shall prosper. ❤🙏
Just found y'all from this reaction. You guys are amazing! What a gorgeous couple you are! Beautiful! I hope y'all have a wonderful success because you both are gorgeous. OMG y'all are gifted by God. Hope for success for you both!
Just found your channel .. I’m in the uk .. but this man speaks to the working class here too and across the world . I shed a tear, and ain’t afraid to say lt .
It crosses all the barriers , it's a ballad for all of us to wallow in, the man knows how I feel , I grew up in a simpler time , not easier, but simpler and I want it back !!!
New to your channel. Thank you for being so wonderful! 13 million in 6 days tells us just how much we all relate. We all need to get together and get our country back and back on track. It has gotten ridiculous. Young men putting themselves 6 feet in the ground….. dang💔, that gets me. I have sons, and a hard working husband and I see it. My husband is a lineman. It’s brutal work and he risks his life every single day. Literally. We lived in W Virginia and I can tell you that there’s no black neighborhood or white neighborhood, it’s just poor neighborhoods where we lived. So many abandoned buildings and homes. Thank you! God bless💗
Awe, this is the first reaction I've watched from you two, and not only did i love it, i also love how you two interact 💗 i could also hear a little cutie in the background 😊 great song, genuine reaction
This video was put together very well. You’re one of the top reactions to this song that I’ve watched. Probably seen 150 or more reactions. Kito Abashi had the most hilarious reaction. Yours is one of the most heartfelt and pure. It was apparent you hadn’t heard the song. Others are fake reacting and you can tell
@@buddybell4557 I watched while my little one was asleep in the next room. I was laughing so hard I was crying trying not to be loud. He is hysterical. I’d have never discovered him had it not been for this song. This song has truly United all walks of life together. It’s exactly what the world needed at just the right time.
This dude is an angel from the all mighty. It’s time to take the country back people we need to wake the hell up. If we all unite the government don’t stand a chance and they know it. All more reason to keep us all divided.
That song is awesome in his own right but you two guys have a amazing ability to exchange meaningful dialogue between each other I foresee you guys relationship lasting forever
I've been watching a lot of people react to this song, but I have to say, you two are the most adorable ones, dancing together there at the end. I'll be checking out your other videos, just because you are such a loving couple.
When the man said about long overtime hours for bs pay,i saw the recognition of life being lived in your faces. Great reaction. Hang onto her,young man. She is sure a keeper.
Y’all caught everything in the song and broke it down perfectly. The ending was perfect. The dancing with each other to it was perfect. Y’all got some old and pure souls. I just stumbled across your channel but you got a subscriber in me. The way you took your woman’s hand was so smooth and genuinely put warmth in my heat. Keep communicating and loving each other. All love to you all and your family.
First video of y’all’s I’ve seen. Y’all killed it! Ma’am, you are SHARP! I’ve watched two weeks of reaction videos and I think you picked up on every point. Y’all are great together, keep your heads up. I live near Richmond. The evil from DC is palpable lol
Beautiful reaction you two!! Ive seen a hundred reactions, and I saw this song hit u like a brick in first few second, and u made me tear faster then anyone else set.... phew...😊
I liked your reaction and what you had to say. I loved hearing your little baby in the background….reminded me of my son who is nearly 9 years old now. ❤️ Your dance at the end brought tears to my eyes. True love.
You two are adorable. Love the reaction and all the facts the song and you guys brought forth. We all need to come together because we're all feeling it. God bless.
One of the BEST reviews I've seen of the song. You guys both touched on ALL of it instead of one or two parts of it. Fantastic review, and I'll be subscribing now!
