‘Preach brother,’ one user online wrote
A new blue-collar political anthem is taking the Internet by storm just days after hitting the web.
Anthony’s emotional song has resonated with millions of viewers, with the Tuesday video recording by RadioWV’s Draven Riffe already sporting “I’m a 39 year old Iraq vet and Construction worker, struggling like a dog to take care of two kids and keep a farm going when I’m not working 11 hour days,” one user wrote. “This hit so hard today I had to stop my old peterbilt and tear up.”RadioWV’s YouTube video featuring the song now has 1.5 million views on YouTube.“[Thank you] for writing this song.
“Things were obviously not good for a lot of people, and in some respects, I was one of those people,” Anthony said. “And I had wasted a lot of nights getting high and getting drunk, and I had sort of gotten to a point in my life where even things I did care about didn’t mean anything to me anymore.”Anthony said the music made him feel like he had a “purpose” and like he wasn’t “just wasting his time” after getting positive feedback from listeners.
In a 9-minute youtube video, Anthony talks about his upcoming song and expresses his wishes for success.“The universal thing I see is that, it’s like no matter how hard they push and how much effort they put into whatever it is they’re doing, they just quite can’t get ahead,” Anthony said.
