      No, he wants to leave the world and go home to the Lord. He has said as much in a live interview of him. This New Zealand couple have it correct: "Oliver Anthony is praying for God to take him to Heaven". Prayers for him. 🙏🙏 Sadly, a lot of people are despondent, living life, struggling, like Oliver, in America, a lot of homeless. It's not all Disneyland and fun and giggles; there is a lot of heartache in the US. :( Oliver said: "I wrote the songs that I wrote because I was suffering from mental health and depression."

Nadine hit it right on the nail about thinking you're the crazy one when other people discredit or just dismiss what you're trying to warn them about. It does make you feel helpless and ready to give up. But as long as we're in this world we have to keep pushing forward one day at a time, don't we? There's a song i know that says, "God will make a way when there seems to be no way. He works in ways we cannot see. He will make a way for me. He will be my guide, hold me closely to His side. With strength and love for each new day, He will make a way. He will make a way." God bless you, NZ family. All of you subscribers here as well. ❤

His lyrics can unite multiple people together, which, is something our country really/desperately needs. You see who we have in office and it is not building back better right now. I would like you to react to DAX "dear alcohol" and/or "to be a man"!

Our nation as we knew it will be gone if we don't make the changes necessary to sustain Her. America really is a great place, filled with great people. Most of us, like Oliver's song, are on our knees daily and praying for the Lord to intercede for our nation. Glad you are safely home.

      Yep always blame those who have more than you, with the majority of them working their asses off for said "more than you"... spoken like a real socialist idiot...
      Wahhh I can't be as good as the next man, so I'll blame them for why I work a sh*t paying job and have to live paycheck to paycheck...
      How about you should of taken the steps to become something more, to learn something more- as in a special trade etc... no no, cry because you work a bs job, because you're a bs worker with no real workforce skill...
      See I didn't take the correct steps in life and I work bs jobs. But one thing I don't do, is blame the wealthy workers/business men that worked their asses off to get to where they are or do so now...
      See I have a buddy who's family is rich. They own businesses and it all started from their grandfather, their dad worked hard and eventually took over and now my buddy's dad is making my buddy go to College and put in work to eventually take over the businesses.. so you'd hate him too, just because his family cared enough to set up family down the road...
      The grandpa had nothing, started a small water sports shop and turned it into something far more... just because you don't know people's story, they aren't bad for being "handed" businesses/money... they aren't holding you back, they aren't worried about you!
      If you worked your ass off all your life, completed your goal and had a company,family etc. You too would be doing exactly what these "wealthy devils" are doing...
      Now there are some bad ultra rich people, who use that money to influence things etc. But thats much much smaller than you make it out to be.. you just want someone else to blame for your own life and choices you made... its easier today to become rich than ever before.. yet here you are.
      Stop complaining and keep pushing forward. If not, shut up and stop crying and blaming others..

    Just a comment from here in snowy Minnesota!
    On Oliver's Channel he has some promising news! I think in this coming February, Oliver and friends begin their tour. He has dates and places listed as firm all across the U.S. and even over to the U.K.!
    A few months ago he says he was in the planning stages at the moment; but he's hired a talent agency to help sort out all the necessary details that are involved like tickets; insurances; places he and his fellow members will sleep, and so much more.
    He also says he's been writing new music for his upcoming tour!
    In the meantime Oliver and his wife welcomed the addition of a new baby boy to their family of two little ones!
    "I've Gotta Get Sober" Oliver says was a kind of break-through song that preempted him to fall on his knees asking God Almighty for help!
    He says at this time he knew what his mission in life was supposed to be: to make music to inspire the least of us!

    Appalachia is from northern Georgia all the way to Maine...but when people reference Appalachian mountains it's usually West Virginia, Virginia, Tennessee, North Carolina and Georgia...because of the Irish/Scottish influence in the mountains and hollers where they were forgotten for hundreds of years. Not backward, just self-reliant. People today are returning to a holistic lifestyle that some Appalachian people embraced up until today.

    I think you guys would enjoy studying the history of "The Blues" (A style of Music) in the US. It started in the late 1800's and is an interesting subject. I believe their are other styles like Country music that branch off of Blues Music. I remember being in music class in Grade school being taught about Blues. We had to learn a Blues song that started with "I woke up this morning with an awful aching head", which is repeated three times, then the reason is given. A typical lyric style.

Be it about the men in Washington D,C,, state of the nation economics or morals, or the last one that no he is not rich in money but rice in what matters.

Songs to check out, in my not so humble opinion ;-) are: Man of Constant Sorrow, How Great Thou Art, Elvira, with the Oak Ridge Boys, who did the song 40 years ago and hit big with it) When a Man Loves a Woman and just about anything that strikes your fancy. They don't do "bad," or even mediocre. They are just a bunch of 5 top class vocalists who put it all out there and have a great time doing it.

    His real name is Chris Lunsford. His grandfather's name was Oliver Edwards, he named his channel after him. I live in Northeast Tennessee (in the Appalachian mountains). We live Chris' lyrics. It's a sad and frustrating time for us as we watch our land being raped and our culture disappear. As the old farmers die, their children sell to highest bidder without considering the effects all this development will have on future generations. We won't recognize our home in 10 years.😢

    I gotta say - I really relate to his song I wanna go home. My dad went home to be with Jesus on Monday after a long fight with Multiple Myeloma Cancer, Type II Diabetes, Severe Neuropathy in both hands and feet, high blood pressure, and seizures all directly caused by his service in the United States Air Force and almost daily exposure to Agent Orange and other toxic herbicides during his tour. I have multiple medical problems that my father has always believed are a result of his exposure to Agent Orange/etc. Every day for me is extremely painful and a struggle. Except for me being the only one who will listen without any judgement to my elderly parents, be moral support and help them with technology, I am completely utterly useless worthless husk taking up resources someone else much better could really use and I have no business being on this side of living. Now just my mom is left and outside of her I see no reason to stay this side of heaven. Once she goes home to be with Jesus, all of my will to live will go with her.
    My father was so tired of being sick and in pain at the end that his will to live was crushed completely. He just cried for Jesus to come and take him home at the end. For many of us we don’t want to go home because of how the world is changing- we have been sick and in excruciating pain for so long that we just want to go home where there will be no more pain, only perfect peace and love.

    “I want to go home”. Home is the safe place. A return to the innocent times. When faced with unbearable struggles, we all say at some point, “I want to go home.” Think of war movies when a soldier is wounded. Momma! I wanna go home! Etc.

    Good analytics. I guess it happens globally to some degree or another, but in the end he sings from personal perception of the world around him. He's from Appalachia, which is what we would call folks from the Appalachian mountains, mainly PA, VA, WVA, TN and maybe northern Alabama. As the spine of the Appalachians flows from NY all the way to the south I guess many regions combine to be called Appalachians. It's a different life, but a good, honest life.
    Wish ya'll had more rime in the states to really explore the vastness and variety here. It can appear to be chaos, at least as the media portrays it, but for the most part, it's actually a cohesive multicultural dance. Look forward to the next one guys, thanks for keeping the content coming, it's refreshing to see your perspective on us, both as a people as well as a nation.

    He was on a podcast with Joe Rogan where they talk a lot about his beginnings. It’s a crazy story in which he decided he was going to give himself over to god and start his music career. He had a couple songs completed and Rich man north of Richmond was half done. Somebody heard the half of Rich man and told him he needed to complete that song, so he rushed it and completed it over the weekend. Recorded the song over his I-phone. A member of big and Rich and Joe Rogan heard the song, they then shared on their social media for instant exposure. Within a couple weeks tens of millions of people heard the songs. Politicians from both sides tried to use his song to point fingers at the other side. Neither accepting he was pointing at both of them.

      @@user-wc8fp4cx6c no that’s the job of God on judgement day! To clarify on my comment since you left part of it out. I said a true AMERICAN Christian. But a true Christian is someone who believes that the Bible is the word, and it’s someone who believes that Jesus Christ is the only way to heaven. It’s not my job to determine if this is you or anyone. If you have to point a figure at me for stating my opinion and defending my beliefs maybe you should look in the mirror.
