Rustic Overtones "Letter To The President" Video Debut 

I just came from tiktok and THIS SONG IS SOOOOO GOOD

Some people say tik tok ruins songs, but really helps underrated songs get the recognition they deserve

who came from tik tok

I just discovered this song!!! I saw it on Tik TOK!!

this was on my tiktok and i am OBSESSED

Come from tiktok, you're daughter recommended this. I love this so much and I hope I can listen to more songs :)

Hey! I came from tiktok and this song is beautiful

Jason Ward was my music teacher a while back, even though metal is my type of music...this is pretty damn nice!

3:20 is my favourite part omg it gives me goosebumps in overall the song is amazing 🤍🤩🤍

I came from TikTok and tbh I’m pretty happy I’m here

they are from my state and play at sunday river(ski resort next to my home town) and they do a concert there every year. and they are truely amazing

Your daughter got me here!!❤️

"cause their sons wear purple hearts inside their coffins in the ground" awesome line wmmoriarty is right

My daughter was born a year before this was posted. She discovered it on Tik Tok, plays it constantly and told me to look it up on You Tube. Good call Lucy.

As a former "sniper" I can tell you that this song means a lot. God Bless all of you. I am no hero. I love my children and I wish we could all could live in a world where no one needs to be sacrificed for political gain. Thanks Dave. Well said.

Why have I never heard this song before? It is so good and nice, unlike he type of stuff my generation (middle school) is practically forced to listen to.

so underrated ☹️

THIS IS SO GOOD IM IN LOVE W THE TALEMT

i miss this kind of music

i'm a vet and i get it. it's not a bash towards our troops. they just said what every mother,father, girlfriend, boyfriend, sister, brother and friend think every day thier loved one spends over seas. if you don't like the song don't listen to it.

Having been injured in the US Military myself This song hits home so very strong.

This song is a classic in my mind.

i wouldn't say I'm against the war or that i don't support or troops and yet i still love this song, reminds me of allot of songs out of the seventies protesting the Vietnam conflict. GREAT SONG!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Powerful,soulful song....WOW I can't stop listening to it!!!

yeh i loved when he pulled out the picture of his daughter crowd went wild

This is a beautifully sad song. Youre very creative and talented. Thank your daughter for showing you to the wide world

Obsessed.

more people need to hear this song 😌

my father was in the 82nd airborne :).

Dave's family is family friends with my family, he's a really great guy, he served over seas too.

im seeing double atm, so this video is twice is good...

here from tik tok! this is so good omg-

THANK YOU to rustic overtones for writing this song!!!!

WOW, one of the most well written and compassionate songs I've ever heard.

LOVE the video. Great execution and great expression from such a simplistic concept

Here from TikTok blaring this at a party and it’s a hit

this is so amazing. i came from tiktok 👂👾

Amazing!!

Miss you sgt. Nicholas Robertson gone but NEVER forgotten

I'm an Army veteran and a mother of 5 and this song is so on point in so many ways. I've had to kill people or be killed. I haven't slept soundly since and I can't close my eyes without reliving it over and over again. The thought that I killed someone's father, son, brother or relative haunts me daily and say they were the enemy doesn't justify it in the least. It was kill or be killed and the bullet from his gun hit the side of my helmet while I was sleeping , I had no choice. I'm so sorry for his family's loss but I needed to make it home to my kids..🙏🙏🙏

Rustic, portland represent

Dave Gutter is the man.

Can't find a download for this on the app free music downloads :(

THIS IS AMAZING I CAME FROM THE TIKTOK IM AN INDIE KID AND IYS THE FIRST TIME I HEAR ANOTHER GENRE AND LIKE IT AJSHSJSNSNSNSSNSJ

Dave I

Sad song, made me cry. It's a very good letter and I hope he listens to us. :/ Hugs, Aleisha PS I put a video response and hope the words in my response will cheer up the soldiers watching.

Just a typo, thanks for pointing it out. Where is the Roman Empire today anyway? What accomplishments did they achieve that are lasting and meaningful? There is "shuch" a thing as a country, and as for America, it is people, not government that make it the wonderful place it is.

Yes, and other things too, like crucifictions, brutal torture, 40 lashes, orgies, overtaxing, empire building through conquering smaller nations, etc. Yeah, great nation.

I know his daughter Connie. We dance together. I've seen Dave at dance picking her up.. my mom snuck into the changing rooms with me and asked if anyone's last name was gutter and I told her that I didn't know. Then Connie told me that her last name was gutter. And my mom was really embarrassed. 😂😂 well there's my story!

bring the rest home alive.

you sound like matt costa. which is a very, very good thing.

@metalligimp I was 11 when I first saw them at the Waterville bull moose my mom forced me 2 request Troublesome

Well we(veterans)might be able to get an education if we can actually get it paid for as we were promised. Respect your Veterans.

Does anyone know what happened to, or where to find the original video?! The imagery was MUCH more powerful, and I've got a sinking feeling RU-vid censored it...shamefully :/

They're playing concerts at 6 Bull Moose locations soon...

Came from tik tok😊

lol same here

Made me grab my cajon...

You should be wondering why you risked your life. You should be thinking about the reasons for this "war" not just blindly volunteering your time and life for it. Its songs like this that show what a true American is; some one who can question and protest is some one that is a true patriot.

I know! A bunch of views is from me because I show this song to 8th graders to contrast between Toby Keith's, "Courtesy of the Red, White, and Blue".

what do you mean, "What accomplishments did they achieve that are lasting and meaningful?" plumbing, Aqueducts, heating, public sanitation And besides, the roman empire lasted MUCH longer than America ever will

I hope that was meant for Bush!!!

lmao I remember the whole Dave hates rainbows and freedom
