When I first came across Oliver Anthony and his music, I was blown away to say the least. He had a whole collection of songs that I could listen to for hours. Oliver resides in Farmville, VA with his 3 dogs and a plot of land he plans on turning into a small farm to raise livestock. We have a whole mess of songs set to release of Oliver for your viewing and listening pleasure, he is truly special and notes his biggest influence as Hank Williams Jr. Oliver wants to give hope to the working class and your average hard working young man who may have lost hope in the grind of trying to get by.

The narrative script is utter rubbish.
This bull about "woke" is a joke. Small Town is a joke too..all bile & not much of a song.
The premise of the two videos...that had he been signed the song wouldn't have been released is silly...had tyhey not heard the song that wouldn't want to sign the man.
Railing against the wealthy & corporations is nothing new, isn't bad either.
There're plenty of critics of the establishment who have record deals with big & small labels.
At least Woody tried to offer solutions.
I like the recording, I can understand and empathise with most of the narrative as well. There's no reference to "woke" in the song just another right wing ding bats grabbing the song and the backstory to make a conservative point aimed at oppressing difference, keeping wages down, using unemployment as a leverage for low wages etc. The real gripe, as outlined in the song, is that a working person can't make a living while those with power & wealth squeeze even more of of them.. It is, after all, the conservatives who have the money and the power.
I'm tired of the bull sprouted by the right and readily absorbed by many, many working folk. Same as it was when the Irish came to the goldfields, the Chinese came to the gold fields, the Italians, the Germans, the Eastern Europeans. Divide the working folk, turn them against the latest group of immigrants and distract them from the wiles of the wealthy. Same as it has been since newspapers, radio and TV...ie: mass communication has been carrying the message of its owners.

I didn't over think it, all I got was the wonderful heart and spirit of it all that resonated with me personally not just because of the resonator guitar, I'm sure that's why it resonates with millions and millions of others that have been through or going through deep emotional issues and suicide. It comes from a realm beyond politics.

I've been sellin' my soul... sorry not anymore, not even for 8 million.

That's I was reacting to the additional vid that attempts to recruit the song for Trumpist, right wing, antiwokeness.
The song is about the human condition for the last couple of hundred years or so.

I watch those videos again to try and see what you mean, the first was reading his post, the next was John Rich saying about the big labels trying to get him, maybe John Rich has been caught up in it all and is speaking out. I did not here about Trumpist or right wing.
I did hear Kim Clement say about Trump back in 2007 that was long before things even happened over in the US. I remember I walk passed a TV set back in 2016 and the news was saying there was an election in the US and that the Clinton is set to win because they are way ahead in the polls, I said no that guy will win and just kept walking without a thought. The next time I saw the news saying that Trump conspired with Russia and I said that is BS and kept walking on pass the TV. This is just the bleeding obvious thing to me now, sure when these things first happen you think wow I saw that and it happened, you knew who was on the phone before they even ring, you dream about something and it happens the next day. I told someone who was going to win the Melbourne Cup, one of them bet and won and the other didn't bet as they didn't believe it.
I have heard so many other things that have come to pass that were heard long before they happened. This is a normal thing for those that have been through life threatening situations being dead or close to it and going through much suffering, your soul opens up to it all.
The wokeness they talk about comes through academia, it's the blind leading the blind with these ideas. I heard about the fall of that beer company due to wokeness long before I knew the name was a beer company, I thought it was an earth moving company smile
Any tiny babies that come out of university with these injected woke ideas in them soon wake up when they are told they have terminal cancer and nothing can be done to help them, it's only then after going through years of suffering and getting actual wisdom and understanding that true healing kicks in along with empathy, compassion and loss of materialism. The is the true education that you pay a very high price for, maybe even your life. Until then we judge things with our university education, physical sensors and what's been stored up. There is no way I would go back to not knowing anything and being young and healthy, that's what I call death at it's best because there is zero awareness of anything else.

Dude, really? The collusion? It's a matter of degree - they may have done all they did simply because he was better for them but he did ask them, publicly, to dig into her emails & Manafort did send material/stats/info etc. to Russian operatives. He was pardoned for it - nut you have to be guilty & convicted to be pardoned.
The beer company didn't fall...it was targetted by a bunch of meatheads for one of it's brews having had some LGBTI+ publicity.
The way you use the term woke is worrying. What it DID mean was being awake & aware of other folk...as in I woke up and realized...it's "with empathy, compassion".
University has always been unreal in many way. The academic learning does need real world exposure & context - I doubt any one would argue against that.

I think you are still missing the whole point of it all, all these things were seen long before they happened, the real news before the news, how does that work ? how is that even possible ?
Are you getting your information from the news and your sensors ?
Do the msm tell you the truth, do the 3 letter agencies, mockingbird media tell you the truth ? are you able to bet your life on what they tell you ?
If people's life and their family's absolutely depended on finding the truth would they be more discerning of things rather than looking at it as simple politics, taking this side or that side, like supporting different football teams ?
It goes back to the guy dying, the media can't help him, politicians can't help him, Dr Fauci certainly can't help him, he has to look deeper because he is forced to, he has not got the luxury to say she'll be right mate I will still go to work tomorrow and get paid, I can go to parties with friends, I can still eat normally, I can still walk normally, I can still breath normally.
Death is life and life is death with no awareness.
Those that have been on the other side of death all see the same thing and know what's going on and what's to come, no matter what country they live in they will all tell you the same thing.

It's the same deal as Biab, most just work with what they have and know about Biab, but I look at it and say this ain't right it needs to work better, so I go a lot deeper into it than most users that just accept this is how it is and work with what they have.
You have to dig deep to get the truth, this is what I liken it to below, those that can't see the deeper things attack those that can. Nonsense and ignore to one person but a profound understanding to another, they BLOCK it out because it's best to remain ignorant:

Any section I can extend or shorten the original playing.
If you watch the video where you have the gaps you can manually merge so there's no stop, you can't do that with a consolidated wav or in Biab now how it is:
Reaper-RT-Solo-Extend.mp4

Agreed, and this is something planned for BB2024 (and BiaB plug-in w/DAWS like Reaper that support these track sections). This will open up lots of additional options when customizing solos and other tracks.

Because of the forum lighting up with "coding"

As I have said, long after I have gone users will be using all these features and functions, including those complaining about me posting stuff and telling the truth ! If they don't want to use them out of spite I can make up a list of things in Biab and BBPlugin from over the 14 years that they can avoid, or better still just use the 2009 version:
Band-in-a-Box® Version 2009 and 2009.5 Update - Build 288

Things can change in an instant to bring understanding, you may have a flat tyre then....

You take a very personal slant on things sir.

I don't take my "news" from any one source. I pay attention to what conservative media offers as well as "liberal" media. I watch, read, and try to avoid bias confirmation as well as echo chambers. I attempt to critically analyse the "news" in terms of what is is and isn't, in terms of what an outlet choses to cover and what it avoids then what it hides or defends.

I'm old, I've done many years of union work alongside my employment but I also called out my union, often, when they weren't doing what was needed or the needed to take another look of their policies and focus.

I agree with you regarding that particular thread and the many threads that contain whines but no way forward from a majority of the participants.

The song in question is a whine. It offers no way forward. It demonises others further down the slippery pole than the songwriter.
The fellow, who doesn't even use his real name, is a right wing pundits best tool & distractor.

Here's a better analysis of it than I can offer.
Billy Bragg...

Yes it's not a main stream narrative.
"I like the recording, I can understand and empathise with most of the narrative as well. There's no reference to "woke" in the song just another right wing ding bats grabbing the song and the backstory to make a conservative point... "

You are using your left brain.
"Here's a better analysis.." again left brain, left brain is eating from the tree of good and evil, it knows nothing of the tree of life, nothing, unless it be born of spirit.
"theguardian" ? of the truth ? lol someone else posted a guardian link replying to something else I posted trying to set me on the right path, the name says it all, it exposes it "The Gods of this world has blinded..so that they cannot see the light".
Again the guy dying, will "theguardian" help him and set him straight, will the university graduated/indoctrinated reporters show him the light ?

The song is a marker, a catalyst, it's a signal of things to come.
Again, the things that have been show will happen as they have been happening, whether it's smoke over the east coast, beer companies going broke or someone falling on live TV that will signal a larger fall or the many other things.
It can't do anything else but that. No amount of beautiful, authoritatively speaking MSM news anchors can change it.

A catalyst...no, more like a cyst - a reaction, a symptom not a detonator.
If it were a signal of things to come - of punching down on welfare recipients, of decrying foreign aid, of whining with no solutions - it's a late rebroadcast because all of it was covered by the last LNP Federal govt.: they championed what he offers.
You seem hell bent on not reading my post but interpreting it. I read yours, I consider, I look things up before responding.
Your modern life is rubbish perspective isn't an isolated one. Your use of all the mod cons of coding etc. shows that you take what works for you and that you offer solutions to some problems - fabulous solutions.
Left Brain/Right Brain/Concrete/Abstract/Visual/Intuitive/Auditory/Fidget Spinner/AD/HD.
I don't take the Guardian as a gospel, I did try to make that clear, but I do trust Billy Bragg who happened to be in the Guardian so an easy link to non fire walled information.
Your "analysis" of my response isn't an analysis but a matching of talking points.
I'm not interested in setting you on "the right path". I am interested in balance in a conversation/debate/discourse so offered some.

I haven't read this entire thread but I'll comment on verse 1.

I've been sellin' my soul, workin' all day
Dude, most people I know have worked all day for decades and decades until their 60s or beyond; get over it man you don't even look 40! I started working all day at age 10 raking neighbors' leaves in the Fall and shovelling their driveways in the Winter for less than minimum wage. No one has seen me whine and cry.

Overtime hours for bullshit pay
OK, so why haven't you invested in your education and skills matrix? Let me guess, you hate school and any form of instruction.

So I can sit out here and waste my life away
This is your choice boy. Pull up on your bootstraps. What's that? You don't have any? Then kill a deer and make some.

Drag back home and drown my troubles away
Do you really think spending 30% of your take-home pay on beer will improve your station in life?

Bottom Line: If you can't make it in these United States brother, you can't make it anywhere.

Baffling mystery, defies left brain comprehension,
yet still it happens and keeps happening, watch it all come.

When I first saw it at about 400,000 I saw instantly what the story is, it's now at 39mil.

I voted for Hawkie an Rudd, I saw Shorten go grey waiting for so long to get in, I wanted Al Gore to get in, I was happy when Obama got in, but this is all beyond politics what's happening now and goes into spiritual things. Those that are spiritually connected see what the story is. I try hard to lift you out of the physical thing by talking about death and those of us that have tasted it.
If I talk about Biab injector depths and people don't understand, how much more will they not understand if I talk about spiritual things ?
With all 4 of those songs there is a deeper spirit in them that is recognize, it's on another level, not by analyzing with your head but with your soul.
As I said there will be shaking, shock and awe, this is needed for those that haven't waken already. It all depends on our level of sensitivity, I have no problem as my sensitivity level is way up on 100 most others operate on 10 until they go through some trauma and suffering, life support machines or NDE etc...

AND THAT is the zone propaganda aims for.
When I 1st heard the song I liked it...though it a bit whiney but liked it. I looked at the lyrics and instantly disliked them because of the bits that "seemed" snuck in under the cover of the general theme and gusto.
National Anthems are intended to appeal to the spiritual, sacred, traditional aspects of the citizenry. That's why they go full bore and it works - lots of folk are sucked in by them - along with having been indoctrinated with them.
All the big dictators & authoritarians appeal to deep feelings, usually bad ones, and do it very successfully.
Hawke? I knew he was a con but he had some success...it didn't last once the "accord" had given business what it wanted they abandoned it.
Rudd? Great start but not prepared for the long haul.
Gillard - white anted and Abbotted, (with the help of dweebs like Angry Anderson), plus was ill advised on school funding.
Shorten? He wasn't bad but he wasn't good - he's been a fab minister though.
Albanese? He's looking, too much, to the long game, to getting re-elected to make long form change but may lose because his short game is all about avoiding being wedged. PLUS we traded can't say TH Bill for can't say TH Tony.
Whitlam and Barnard were brave, reckless and made changes that changed the nation for the good, in the main.

It can be instructive and even eye-opening (if "open" constitutes any part of your being) to hear what the artist/writer actually intended...

That's why I posted the video above "It's a pleasure to meet you - part 2" so you get it from the horses mouth, not MSM Guardian CNN Fox spinning one way or another with selective editing ("The Gods of this world has blinded..so that they cannot see the light") as stated below:

I'm uh if I've lost my sanity yet and
I'm surprisingly calm and at peace
I've
I don't even know what to say but I I
feel thankful to be given this
opportunity
um
you know the music side is exciting and
all the billboard iTunes charts and all
that crap that's great but uh which
the exciting part's been the
conversations I've had with people
and the things I've learned just in a
couple weeks about
um
about the human spirit
and and
about all sorts of other things the
music industry and
and how how dirty everything is like
it's it's worse than you think
so I don't know what the future looks
like for me
I'm not really too concerned about the
future I'm living in the present
and I'm
I just have to have I just have to have
the discernment
to make the right decisions from here on
out because
um
I think about that guy who was sitting
here a few weeks ago talking to you and
uh
uh the most important thing and the most
important thing to me is not leaving him
behind
I don't want to go on some roller
coaster ride and come off a different
person
uh
if there is anything for me to address
at all with you it's that uh
uh you know it's
the one thing that has bothered me
is seeing people rap politics up into
this
uh
I'm disappointed to see
like it's aggravating seeing people on
conservative news try to identify with
me like I'm one of them
it's aggravating seeing certain
musicians and politicians act like we're
buddies and and act like we're fighting
the same struggle here like that we're
trying to present the same message
you know I've had a lot of people reach
out to me and I tried to be polite to
everybody and
um I've talked to
hundreds of people the last two weeks
it seems like certain people want to
just
ride the attention of the song to maybe
make them their own selves relevant and
that's aggravating as hell the other
thing that I find aggravating is uh
well you know like it was funny seeing
my song in the
it was fun it was funny seeing it at the
presidential debate
because it's like I wrote that song
about those people you know so for them
to have to sit there and listen to that
that cracks me up
uh but it was funny kind of seeing the
response to it like that song has
nothing to do with Joe Biden you know
it's a lot bigger than Joe Biden
um
that song is written about the people on
the on that stage and a lot more too not
just them but but definitely them
it's cool seeing some of my other music
come out because people are I guess
starting to appreciate and understand
what it is I'm really trying to say it's
hard to get a message out about about
your political ideology or your belief
about the world in three minutes and
some change
um
but I hate I do hate to see that song
being weaponized like I see I see the
right trying to characterize me as one
of their own and I see the left trying
to
um trying to discredit me I guess in
retaliation
uh that sh!t's gotta stop
if you watch the response videos on
YouTube to this song it's not
conservative people responding to the
song it's not even necessarily Americans
responding to the song
um I don't know that I've seen anything
get
such positive response from such a
diverse group of people
and
I think that terrifies
the people that I sing about in that
song
and they've done everything they can the
last two weeks to make me look like a
fool
to spend my words
to try to stick me in a political bucket
and they can keep trying but I'm just
going to keep on writing
and I've got a lot of words to put down
on paper and I've got I've got a lot of
songs
to put the chords and um
I don't know what my music career is
going to look like I don't know how many
shows I'm gonna do and how many tours
I'm gonna put on but
I am going to stay true to my word I'm
I'm gonna write
I'm going to write produce
and distribute authentic music that
represents people
and not politics
I do feel compelled to address something
since I have addressed the conservatives
I do need to address the left as well
because they're sending a message out
that that that initial song that sort of
shot me up the radar Richmond north of
Richmond is is an attack against the
poor
if you listen to my other music it's
obvious that all of my songs that
reference class defend the poor uh dog
on it's a good example of that needles
in the street folks hardly surviving on
sidewalks next to highways full of cars
self-driving the poor keep hurting in
the rich keep thriving
it's like that's what I like to sing
about
and you know the English language is
interpretive and so I do understand like
there may be some people who
who misunderstood my words in Richmond
north of Richmond
but I've got to be clear that my message
like with any of my songs
it references the inefficiencies of the
government
because of the politicians within it
that are
engulfed in bribes and extortion and
you know the words say that there's
people on the street with nothing to eat
in the obese milk and Welfare
that references a news article I read
earlier this Summer that
adolescent kids in Richmond
are missing meals over the summer
because their parents can't afford to
feed them and they're not in school to
eat cafeteria lunch
and meanwhile I think like 30 or 40
percent of the food bought with welfare
or EBT money is
um is in a classification of like snack
food and soda I think 10 spit on soda
and I want to say like 20 or 30 percent
spent on junk food
and that's not the fault of those people
uh welfare only makes up a small
percentage of our budget you know we can
if we can fuel a proxy war in a foreign
land but we can't take care of our own
that's all the songs trying to say
it's just saying that the government
takes people who are needy dependent and
makes them needy independent
and at some point I will dissect all my
lyrics of all my songs if that's what I
need to do I mean 30 some million people
understood what I was saying but it only
takes a few to try to uh derail the
train you know to try to send out false
narratives
and I'm sure there'll be more of that to
come it's like uh
it's driving people crazy to see the
unity that's come from this from all
walks
this isn't a Republican and Democrat
thing this isn't even a a United States
thing like this has been a Global
Response and don't let anybody tell you
otherwise go on YouTube and watch all
the response videos you know and don't
shoot the messenger like I'm a nobody
it's my belief that divine intervention
has put me in this position and this
point in time to get a message across
and that's all there is to it like I'm
nobody special you know I I feel
terrible almost that I've been put in
this place because there there are a lot
of artists and musicians out there that
are far more talented that have put in
way more hours than me like I don't
deserve I don't deserve to sit in the
top five places on the iTunes charts and
the truth is I really could give a sh!t
less about the iTunes charts what I care
about is connecting with people what I
care about is
sh!t
I don't I don't know what this country
is going to look like in 10 or 20 years
if things don't change I don't know what
this world's gonna look like
and
like something has to be done about it
you know
there's been too many people die
there's been too many people
sacrifice everything they've had people
die before they even before they're even
18 you know
just sit for us to all sit here and just
do the stupid sh!t it is that we do
every day that keeps us all all beat
down and divided like
that's what I want to see stop
and
I'm gonna do everything I can
to influence that
at all costs even if it does um
even if it does throw my world upside
down it's what it's well worth it but
for now I'm hanging in there and I'm I'm
doing what I can
and I I really appreciate everybody
who's along for the ride so
uh there's a lot more to come and I'm
excited for it and I'll see you on the
next one

[Applause]
before we start singing
and I mean we because I hope you all are
going to be singing too
[Applause]
I just had something I felt compelled to
share with you
[Music]
this is in a song
Psalm 37
12-20
the wicked plot against the righteous
and gnashed their teeth at them but the
Lord laughs at the wicked for he knows
their day is coming
the wicked draw the sword and bend the
bow to bring down the poor and needy to
sway those whose ways are upright
but their swords will pierce their own
hearts and their bows will be broken
better the little that have
righteousness
than the wealth of many Wicked
for the power of the wicked will be
broken but the Lord upholds the
righteous
the blameless spend their days under the
Lord's care and their inheritance will
endure forever
in times of disaster they will not
wither
a days of famine they will have plenty
but the Wicked Will perish
though the Lord's enemies are like the
flowers of the field
they will be consumed and they will go
up and smoke

Massive cross genre popularity


"Well, if it weren't for my old dogs and the good Lord
They'd have me strung up in the psych ward
'Cause every day livin' in this new world
Is one too many days to me"

How do you learn that in a university ? you can't because you are groomed to fit into the new world with blind leading the blind ideas,
to go straight into media, politics, government..."just doin' what the rich men say"

The fact that he sat with Jordan Petersen shows his willingness to rub shoulders with the worst sort of "influencer"&/or naivety. His claiming that leaving issues to Jesus to sort is the right path means his song, even by his own measure is pointless & therefore a whine.
I shan't be shocked when he does a take with Andrew Tate.


Cheers

I absolutely Love It !
All that's happening I saw years back, it's Big, Very, Very Big.
It's all playing out verbatim as I have shown.
What were those lyrics in Knopfler's Industrial Disease ?
They're pointing out the enemy to keep you deaf and blind

I want my
I want my
I want my C N N


Look what's happened to poor Canada, I used to love it, I was invited over there recently but had to say no as I saw what's been happening over there because Canadians are so polite and don't speak up and out.
It's much the same in Australia where most just go along as they are used to it, being a penal colony it's partially genetics and partially cultural.
When the US is taken back watch everything change world wide, I saw massive celebrations in the street like when the US liberated France. The world follows the US. That's why the world is **&^( up right now. Watch it all be exposed and cleaned out on both sides of politics, watch governments fall, watch all the resignations, justice and vindication brought forth.

You can choose from:
massive propaganda,
or intel,
or Godtel.
What did Kim Clement say in 2007 ?
What did his Bass player say recently ?

So far what I see happening is the Godtel, no matter what people say or think it just keeps happening, there is no stopping whats is coming.

It's a GOD sting operation smile
There are good ideas and there are GOD ideas.
