The lyrics are tacky and cringe. Brett is just some wannabe outlaw that is living this way because he wants to fool people into thinking he is cool. Outlaws are bad asses because they just are, they don't have to make a music video with lyrics attempting to make the public think that they are.
I loved this song also!! But It's just too bad he put this clip in....🚫 @1:23 > 🥷> Not cool at all! That clip Ruined this beautiful song. It should Never have been in this Video. ❌ Kids watch this Video. 😇 (Anything goes ? No, that went too far..... > that is just plain.... Wickedness. 👹) > Lost respect for you....Brett.
Peter Santenello may have brought me here but I stayed because of you Brett. I gotta tell you as a young man (23) still trying to figure out life. you have been one of the biggest inspirations I've had from this video as well as Peter's. I'm a California native and have never been to Humboldt but it's now on my bucket list. Thank you for being you, for creating and building, for this song, and everything that you'll continue to do for your community.
Love to hear it young buck, never forget how this made you feel, hold onto it, spread it and nurture it. The future now is a living testament. Like Brett I got locked up over cannabis bs but also like Brett I got out and saw the world, survived multiple hells but never lost sight of heaven. Much love bro, check out mendo on your way up the coast. Emerald triangle is like nowhere on earth. The city was my playground but my soul is in the hills. Hello from Appalachia my original stomping grounds. Don't let divisive rhetoric and fear drive you, the wheel is in your hands and the will is in your heart.
Peter is way too polite and soft to the point that it makes me cringe. Peter makes these videos for his own selfish self-gratification to get views and fame.
It should, as long as people truly mean it. Not “no more division” as long as you agree with me, look like me and live like me. In this song, he gave respect to the indigenous, gay pride, people of color, cannabis growers….can other Americans do that??? Brett gets it! 👏👏👏
I'm under no illusion that America is perfect. But there is so much about the song that IS America, when we tune out the divisiveness of the politicians and the media. "You can be a weirdo You can be a freak You can be straight laced 7 days a week Cause we got guns And we got pride We got what matters on the inside"
@errk25 Me as well bro. 63 years born and raised Northern California. Aunt and uncle living on the land in Willits since the early seventies. My uncle is Master Chimney sweep if you know him. I’m in the Sierra’s. California isn’t what they think it is.
Pete sent me here & MY GOD I am glad he did . Actually LOVE the song too !!! No BS , Is a frigin banger !!! Love the story too , Brother . Your salvation & life in prison was undserved but I am surte changed you as a man but all i see is a genuinely GOOD Man ... Not a former criminal . Hope we entering a new period of enlightenment where people like you are praised rather than looked down upon (by our govt i mean) .
Peter Santanello also brought me here. I loved the part at 1:02:15 (in the Santanello video) when he talks about how he made drawings of what he wanted his life to be-and now it is reality. Just wanted to thank the guy for showing us a glimpse of Humboldt, and also for talking about making your dreams into reality-thank you!💫
Peter Santenello also brought me here! I'm a Humboldt County native also! I currently live in McKinleyville, but lived in Arcata for several years. I am so happy to see that Peter Santenello came to Humboldt! Great video! And you represented our community so well! Bravo! Great song also! Brett, if you're reading this, I am currently going through some life changes, and I'm looking for positive down to earth people to bring into my life. If you and your family are ever open to it, I would love to one day meet you all! Thanks for everything that you do! 🙏🏼
I am from Himalayas. After watching your story on Peters YT, i could not stop myself from checking out your content. God bless! Please pay my respect to Ken -The Artist! 🙏
Only lived there for a year back in 2003-2004 But man I think of Humboldt everyday The smell of the Redwoods,. The surf,. The sharks ,. The people.. The weedbudds,... Most magical experience place I ever lived.
California is so much more than what it's considered to be. I live in Northern California and can't remember when I last was in a city bigger than 5,000 people. Although it's not far away, it's been 20 years since I last went to San Francisco. I'm looking out my music studio window and see nature, including three deer that are in my yard as I write this. Life is good in Northern California even if you're not wealthy.
I love your comment! But imo and from what I saw in Peter’s vid, I don’t believe Brett needed to be “reformed” in any way or form; I’m sure he couldn’t and wouldn’t be where he’s at without the help of his friends and neighbors but he’s strong inside and out…corruption tried to take him down but couldn’t!❤ I’m sure he’s inspired many inmates w/o even knowing ❤
Brett, your and your wife's strength and perseverance in the face of such adversity is inspiring and humbling. Thank you for sharing your story and your community with Peter and the rest of us all. PS. if you ever need a farmhand...
Love to you in Switzerland from Ventura County, Southern California. Been through your country twice and much of Europe, there is great beauty in nature and people everywhere. Feel free to contact me if you decide to head to Southern California, within just a few hours there is much greatness, maybe we share it with you in person. We have a camper van, and you could car camp or rent a simple camper.
This song will make Brett world famous. Hang on to your hat and mark my words manifester. Gary in Rohnert Park under my redwoods along a creek november 19 2024
I didn't realize it at the time but my years at HSU were the best in my life. From the surf to the trees, from the music to the sports, I do miss what makes Humboldt so special. All my best and love from class of 99. Stevan Hoffman AKA PITA
Apart from just being such a solid song end to end, I especially like that you told so many angles of a complex place and history, you didn’t cut bits out or try to cram it into 3:15. Hats off to you, sir 😉
Holy crap this is AWESOME! I just moved to Humboldt 2 years ago. I have lived all over the country, from sea to shining sea, and living in Humboldt feels like I found home for the first time in my 47 years. Thanks for summing up why Humboldt is (in my opinion) the best place on Earth :)
God I miss living there. Got there the day the space shuttle blew up in 86. I eft in Jan. 97. A place written in my soul. Bless Jim and Dacy fir all they did to reform that Fisherman and Logger COUNTY!!! RAW PEOPLE, AND THEIR GREAT GRAND KIDS, AND GRAND KIDS. WILD AND CRAZY!!! The most Famous,...
Wow… just watched Peter’s vid about NorCal, and ended up here. I was born in Los Angeles, and I’ve come to despise this place. Thank you for keeping the true spirit of California alive. Your story, and your music video, make me proud to say I live in California.
It's the same old story all across the land....even down here in Australia. Thanks for what you do. It's kinda the archetype aimed for in Australia with our grass roots hippy dream. Some got close to yours. Peter santenello got me here.☮️
What an informative and eye-catching interview I recently watched with you and Peter. Wow, such beautiful nature CA has in northern CA!! Great song too!
Great song!!!I lived in Humboldt for 13 years until my husband passed away 2 years ago and moved back to the Central Valley. This isn’t home to me anymore Humboldt is. Wish I was still there 💔💔💔
The camera work and editing are incredible!! The lyrics and sound quality are top notch!! If Humboldt County was thinking of making a new marketing video to drive tourism, then they should look no further than this artist and his production company. High quality audio and visual art contained in this video. I’ve watched it five times already.
Crazy inspiring!!! Literally my dream to be leaving next to you and growing my own food, helping my neighbors and making music!! I am putting it out to the universe to make that happen!! Freaking LOVE this song!!! All the best to you Brett!!
Brett McFarland is a TRUE American that's doing it right. WHAT A GREAT HEART this Real Man has for his family, friends, community and the USA! Thank you Peter for another GREAT story about our GREAT country. This SONG is AWESOME and the Video is outstanding....Thank you!
Well balanced storytelling & journey! The life of friends, family, and community. The fruits of labor, to nature's beauty and wisdom. Truly a gifted man who is surrounded be extraordinary people. Sending love and light for continued abundance. Blessings to you and those who you love dearly. 💕🕯🙏🏻🙌🌟🎶😊
Fabulous! What a joy to watch and listen to you...tears, goosebumps, fist pumps included! Love, love, love you , your family, community, what you do and your openness and honesty. So refreshing and inspiring to this old hippie who was losing hope for the world!! Truly spectacular! I've loved Humboldt since I first visited in the 80's and you are the epitome of all that I love. Keep doing you and know I'm sending heartfelt wishes for your success. Peace! ☮
I walked on that huge fallen Red Wood end to end. Used to build allot of decks with Red Wood, it was light and easy to cut, I think its been pretty much 30 years since I was able to buy it like that. Great song.
Who is here after watching Peter santenello😊😊
I am and I have this cranked on my $4000 system. sounds unbelievable too!!!
Me 😂
Me too!! Good stuff!

@@briannatarelli430 what’s cringe is how much effort you’re putting in to hate on the song.

Ditto!
I agree as a fellow musician , this is well done .
The first time I was in Humboldt I felt my spirit soar, its one of the places in nature that I think about and dream of.
Love to hear it young buck, never forget how this made you feel, hold onto it, spread it and nurture it. The future now is a living testament.

Born and raised in Humboldt and this man has become a local legend! Sending him and his family so much love! Glad you’re finally coming out on top!
Lets make Brett famous in the most amazing American way! Luv it
@jmowiscoproud I shared right away this is special need this so much right now
@projectfishinchannel33 yes we all do!
Tell him to go to one of those music audition shows! I am sure he will win!
@@JoeanettaDgreat idea!
He deserves to be
Peter is the man true journalist going places most wouldn’t dare to go.
Peter is way too polite and soft to the point that it makes me cringe. Peter makes these videos for his own selfish self-gratification to get views and fame.
This should be the blueprint for America, no more divisive 🐂💩!
Shout out to Peter Santinello!
Amen
It should, as long as people truly mean it. Not “no more division” as long as you agree with me, look like me and live like me.
In this song, he gave respect to the indigenous, gay pride, people of color, cannabis growers….can other Americans do that??? Brett gets it! 👏👏👏
@@overfiftyandferal 100000% This is truly patriotic music
Love it!
I'm under no illusion that America is perfect.
But there is so much about the song that IS America, when we tune out the divisiveness of the politicians and the media.
"You can be a weirdo
You can be a freak
You can be straight laced 7 days a week
Cause we got guns
And we got pride
We got what matters on the inside"
Thanks Peter.
Peter brought me here, but your talent kept me here.
Same here.
The same for me
💯💕
❤❤❤❤
Lived all my 64 years in California. THIS is the California I love the most and many don't even know about. Great song.
You are better off keeping it a secret!
Just turned 47, been here my whole life. This state is simply the best. Just wish Sacramento and D.C. would leave us alone.
Same NoCal I grew up in but back then the dopeheads didn’t try to pretend to be country boys.

Love from India. Peter Santenello always introduces us to the different dimensions of the life. Peter thanks.
Only lived there for a year back in 2003-2004
But man I think of Humboldt everyday
The smell of the Redwoods,. The surf,. The sharks ,. The people.. The weedbudds,...
Most magical experience place I ever lived.
Humboldt could show the rest of the country what really makes America great. Unity and ❤
I totally agree I used to live in the Medford valley in Oregon and that part of the country is an excellent
Amazing and Beautiful!!!!! Thank you Peter for leading me here!

thank you Peter santenello ,this man has reformed himself with the help of loving community ,l always say barefoot is the way
Reformed bullshit, scoiety should reform around him.
I love your comment!

He’s on Spotify for anyone that’s wondering!! New song added to the playlist for when the boys and I go camping in the Sierra 🤘🏽🇺🇸
Amazing talent and community and I’m glad Peter brought me here. Best of health to you Brett and prosperity to everyone involved
What a wild story, thank you for allowing Peter to interview you!

Make Humboldt Great Again
Came courtesy of Peter. I’m here to stay. So grateful…
The music is wonderful, but the story it conveys is truly amazing. From Maryland with love, hope to visit California one day.
It's the same old story all across the land....even down here in Australia.
Thanks for what you do. It's kinda the archetype aimed for in Australia with our grass roots hippy dream. Some got close to yours.

Sonoma is like this too! Let's celebrate the beauty of America!
Awesome song, beautiful nature. Great community!

Amazing song! Love the respect given to the indigenous communities!
Except he forgot the Asian communities
Thank you Peter and thank you Brett!
Good stuff! Enjoyed your episode with Peter.
I drove through there as a truck driver but didn't get to stop but going from Oregon down through Northern California it was beautiful

Namaste from India, wonderful video. Saw the whole video of Peter. You and your county is great. Thank you.
That feeling - love it!
Definitely living the life we should all be striving for.
god bless you bro
I walked on that huge fallen Red Wood end to end. Used to build allot of decks with Red Wood, it was light and easy to cut, I think its been pretty much 30 years since I was able to buy it like that. Great song.
On behalf of all of Humboldt county thank you good sir
well, he forgot the Asian community and its impact in this area
