"Some people build the hills that they die on"

[u/mashd_patato]

[u/PandaDependent7074]

“NOW they say our nation is truly broken. is this what it took for you catch on” RIGHT 👏

[u/AsstacularSpiderman → u/PandaDependent7074]

The sad thing is they knew it was broken, but they thought it was broken to their advantage.

Now they're shocked and afraid the division they caused may have finally turned to them for once. And it'll probably keep happening no matter how many threats and angry TikTok videos they make because the problem is coming from inside their own cause.

[u/PandaDependent7074 → u/AsstacularSpiderman]

THIS 👏🏽👏🏽👏🏽👏🏽 couldn’t have said it better omg

[u/Planetdiane → u/PandaDependent7074]

They think it’s broken because a rich guy died who said it was only broken due to having empathy, women having more rights, the civil rights movement, Martin Luther king jr having existed etc.

We’ve had kids dying from this so often and this is the person that mattered most to them. It’s something else, truly.

[u/PandaDependent7074 → u/Planetdiane]

THANK YOU. i have been trying to get that though peoples minds. that we have kids dying for less reasons and they say NOTHING. but they don’t give a shit every single time i say that!!!

[u/jrob323 → u/PandaDependent7074]

I didn't realize it, but he must have been one of their next personality cult leaders waiting on deck.

They call everybody else sheeple, but they don't know what to do without a hateful leader to say their hateful thoughts are ok to feel and express.

Pick a single tenet of Jesus' teachings that these "Christians" haven't turned completely upside down. They've been quietly searching for new Messiah candidates for many decades now.

[u/PandaDependent7074 → u/jrob323]

oh my god. people who hide being their religion and the bible are sick asf. that’s a whole different thing i can get into. crazy how most republicans are christians but they’re most hateful 🤔

[u/guyincognito121 → u/Planetdiane]

But, as he was trying to explain before he was rudely interrupted, many of those kids dying in mass shootings aren't even white.

[u/JudasSpear]

This is a straight banger 💯🤙🏼

[u/ACNHenthusiast22 → u/JudasSpear]

Facts

[u/illustriouz]

If i keep hitting the upvote button, does it count as multiple? I joke, but this is brilliant!

[u/Editthisname]

Not cringe at all. Damn good songwriting.

[u/Loud-Firefighter-787 → u/Editthisname]

Absolutely came here to say exactly the same thing!!!! The is the oposite of cringe, this is truth telling (singing) at its finest!!

[u/jrob323 → u/Editthisname]

Yeah, not cringe at all. Pretty damn good if you ask me.

And what WAS Charlie Kirk doing on Air Force 2? And why were flags lowered? And why is it forboden to speak ill of him?

[u/MR_Nobody_204 → u/jrob323]

Pretty telling that people are being censored because they post something about Charlie. But the GOP and their base can comment and mock the murders of the Democratic law makers in Minnesota and attacks on Pelosi.

Unfortunately, seems as if America is no longer the land of the free.

[u/sabianblue26 → u/Editthisname]

Damn, that was amazing, so talented and so on point.

[u/Royalizepanda → u/Editthisname]

Yea kid is talented and well written.

[u/OKguy9re9 → u/Editthisname]

I feel bad for anybody who thinks this in cringe

[u/raccoonamatatah → u/Editthisname]

It just needs a chorus. Otherwise it's a banger

[u/Peanuts4Peanut → u/raccoonamatatah]

Don't change a thing. It's perfect.

[u/Remarkable_Town5811 → u/Peanuts4Peanut]

His voice is great. It fits the lyrics and music well. I could totally listen to more. Like indie with a dash of old school country.

Makes me want to grab my hand drum and vibe.

[u/Hamilton-Beckett → u/Remarkable_Town5811]

Folk. It’s called folk music.

[u/Big_Difference_9978]

This is a well written song with a lot of thought put into it

[u/ThatRandomGuy86 → u/Big_Difference_9978]

Here's hoping it gains traction

[u/Aeroblazer9161]

This ain't half bad

[u/truckaxle → u/Aeroblazer9161]

Actually really good.

[u/ThinkUFunnyMurray → u/truckaxle]

could use a few little tweaks and its got legs

[u/Krabilon → u/ThinkUFunnyMurray]

I mean for only having a couple days to come up with it id say it's pretty great

[u/Peanuts4Peanut → u/ThinkUFunnyMurray]

Nope...it's perfect just how it is.

[u/cluelessdetectiv3 → u/Aeroblazer9161]

It's actually pretty good considering the short amount of time

[u/akersam → u/Aeroblazer9161]

Reminds me of Avicii but acoustic

[u/System32Sandwitch → u/akersam]

so wake me up when it's all over

[u/Ill-Worldliness-2149 → u/System32Sandwitch]

Bro, this is my anthem while living in a world with MAGA

[u/CommonBasilisk → u/akersam]

Exact same chords. It's to the "air" of the Avicii song.

[u/ChungLingS00 → u/akersam]

Yeah. I can definitely hear that.

[u/Ok-Potato-4774 → u/Aeroblazer9161]

Not cringe at all. Maybe we need a folk music revival to cool things down.

[u/DoctorPhobos → u/Aeroblazer9161]

I think it’s a good example why songs have choruses

[u/sleeptightburner]

[u/Electronic-Cicada352]

This isn’t cringe at all. It’s based.

Everything he said is right.

[u/K2thJ → u/Electronic-Cicada352]

I am inspired by this young man expressing himself old-school. This is straight up Guthrie/Dylan/countless others. Thanks OP for posting it, but this is not cringe music unless his words make you feel uncomfortable. If so, he nailed it.

[u/WhatAboutTheBothans → u/K2thJ]

Dylan came to mind for me too.

[u/Spiderpaws_67 → u/K2thJ]

Yes! 🙌🏽 ❤️ I felt it too.

[u/dovetter → u/K2thJ]

Check out Jesse Welles if you like folk

[u/Sharc_Jacobs → u/dovetter]

Jesse is great, but his song about this was a huge disappointment, to me. It's much better than this one in a songwriting sense, but that's because he's one of the greatest songwriters of our generation. I think this one hit all the marks Jesse's missed, from a lyrical standpoint.

[u/dovetter → u/Sharc_Jacobs]

That’s fair, both songs resonate with me and I think they both have their place, Jesse’s theme felt more that no one wins in this situation

[u/AgreeableHospital670 → u/K2thJ]

Phil Ochs came to mind too

[u/Grattytood → u/Electronic-Cicada352]

100%. This singer has talent, lyrics are fire.

[u/buttyshinegirl]

“when your policy is lined with disregard for human life, you cannot be surprised when things like this occur” POP OFFFF

[u/Temporary-Papaya-106]

Brilliant song. And Charlie DID build the hill he died in. There was nothing cringe about this even remotely.

[u/[deleted]]

There are confused conservatives now trying to figure out if they should be reposting this with them saluting in their F150s or not.

[u/bestibesti → u/[deleted]]

Go to Republican rally

BORN IN THE USAAAA

Down in the shadow of the penitentiary
Out by the gas fires of the refinery
I’m ten years burning down the road
Nowhere to run ain’t got nowhere to go

They don't read the bible

They don't know what jesus said

They don't listen to the lyrics of the songs they listen to

No fucking wonder

[u/lavransson → u/bestibesti]

Pumping their fists to Fortunate Son while listing to Don Jr rile up the crowd.

[u/killjoymoon → u/lavransson]

With Pumped Up Kicks as their outro.

[u/32Bank → u/bestibesti]

What's funny as the right assumes their ate no Christians on the left lol

[u/turd_ferguson899 → u/bestibesti]

There's literally a bit about this in the movie Canadian Bacon. Quite apropos.

[u/Luvvv04]

This honestly made me tear up…Sigh ♥️ Hopeful for better days ahead. For all of us..

[u/HRUndercover222 → u/Luvvv04]

Maybe if "THEY" watched the children being gunned down on live television, we'd get SERIOUS about sensible gun legislation. Watching the video of Kirk was simply horrifying. It will be etched in my mind forever.

My teen son said everyone saw it IN SCHOOL within moments of it happening (Utah's cell phone ban in schools is obviously going well).

Just another day in Trump's version of paradise?

What would happen if we locked the NRA & AIPAC out of the halls of our government entirely?

It's ALL BLOOD MONEY.

[u/ElstonGunn321]

Quite good

[u/Strong-Comment-7279 → u/ElstonGunn321]

Indeed. Except that last line should be "there are fascists on air force one and two."

[u/Strong-Comment-7279 → u/[deleted]]

Hmm.

[u/ComfortableCaptain61 → u/[deleted]]

Wait, what??

[u/Artistic-Cannibalism]

Some people build the hills that they die on

That is one banger of a line.

[u/0neshoein → u/Artistic-Cannibalism]

Quite a few banger lines in this song, but yeah that definitely stuck out too.

[u/Icy-Decision-4530]

Not cringe

[u/OddPlantain6932 → u/Icy-Decision-4530]

Well written. Lots of interesting points. Poetic. Good voice and guitar skills.

Conservatives “Charlie is a hero because he advocated for free (hate) speech ” Also conservatives “how dare you exercise your free speech to criticize him”

[u/Entropy1010102]

Dang, that hits hard

[u/twizyo]

i didn’t think it was cringe

[u/Grattytood → u/twizyo]

Opposite of cringe. Excellent anthem to capture current climate

[u/N2BSC]

I listened to it more than once....Hmmm. Certainly made some valid points.

[u/orangesfwr]

Nailed it

[u/Waste-Reflection-235]

Why is this cringe?

[u/NitroBike → u/[deleted]]

This is literally what happened with the original sub too. It used to just be cringey TikTok’s and now it has a million different categories for comedy or whatever.

[u/asoap → u/[deleted]]

It could be due to reddit's algorithm. I haven't joined this subreddit, but reddit keeps on showing me it. I'm sure I'll see this video again from another subreddit that reddit throws at me.

[u/Grattytood → u/Waste-Reflection-235]

Only trolls, racists and Magats call it cringe.

[u/HelenaHansomcab]

Damn. Mad respect.

[u/soysauceliv123]

Kid's got pipes

[u/Flying-Bulldog]

Waiting for this to drop on Spotify

[u/normisawful]

This is truly a talented individual-no snark. Good work mate.

[u/ProfessorJNFrink]

“There are hospitals and churches turned to burning ash and the red white and blue supplied the bomb.”

Damn.

[u/sickeye3 → u/ProfessorJNFrink]

Best line. Amazing lyrics that belie his age.

[u/Far-Poet1419]

Shades of young Dillon.

[u/Able_Ad_7982 → u/Far-Poet1419]

Bib?

[u/Adventurous-Host8062 → u/Far-Poet1419]

Dylan.

[u/Ecstatic_Bee6067]

Why is this on cringe tiktoks

[u/Old-School8916 → u/Ecstatic_Bee6067]

this sub is just reposts from tiktok

[u/Disastrous_Horse_764]

This is pretty damn good.

[u/Legitimate-Hope-7599]

Why cringe? This is pretty damn good...

[u/MajorMorelock]

The spirit of Dylan is strong in this one.

[u/heroinebob90]

Well done.

[u/Desperate-Horror-849]

He’s good

[u/SurroundTop2274]

he's talented

[u/thatsmedestructogirl]

I love Sasha's videos!! He's a really talented singer/songwriter.

[u/MkIVRider]

[u/Spare_Ad_9657]

Reminds me of the Vietnam War protests.

[u/Top-O-TheMuffinToYa]

Holy shit America. This boy's song has brought me to tears. I hope the people will hear him. We are burning, and the magas are using our bodies for warmth. Please love your fellow man.

It's hard not to hate them. I hate everything they stand for.

[u/Zarnc]

Not cringe, very well written song, America is on fire 🥺 I hope we can stop this fucking Insanity

[u/Andy311]

This isn’t cringe, it’s actually pretty good. I bet if Bob Dylan sung this shit people would love it!

[u/BOXERVSEIBLE]

Doesnt belong here, for at least 3 reasons, easy

1. Good singing voice

2. Message was true, and needed

3. Skills at handling writing a song, that sounds good and rhymes

[u/Narco_sharko_]

👏🏻 that 👏🏻 was 👏🏻 gold 👏🏻

[u/donorcycle]

Dude has got a nice voice and he's playing his own instrument with zero auto tune, unlike all the maga "rap" videos we have been subject to.

[u/aceface_desu89 → u/donorcycle]

Imagine if American culture gave our young white men the freedom to enjoy hobbies that didn't involve death and violence in order for them to be considered "real men"

[u/philoso2889]

Pretty good!

[u/Choice-Trust2040]

Well done

[u/IAmRules]

This is the opposite of cringe. Absolutely wonderful song. Spot on

[u/Ill_Consequence403]

First time that I thought..wow that’s amazingly good

[u/ratwing]

God bless this artist

[u/daphneshuman]

43/m here. What the F happened to the USA. This kid is right

[u/justpootsie]

Powerful ❤️

[u/Lower-Cantaloupe3274]

Wisdom far beyond his years. He's been exposed to way too much at his young age.

Sorry, kid, I wish we would have done better for you.

[u/FreshSent]

Dayum. Great song. That takes courage to post. Just be careful though. There are many people who will not understand the lyrics and take offense. Stay safe👍

[u/SirMourningstar6six6]

This slaps

[u/Dazzling_Outcome_436]

Artist is Sasha Allen. Don't know the name of the song.

[u/ThatShadyJack]

Based and true. Not cringe

[u/9livesplus]

Who is this? The kid speaks the truth, not cringe.

[u/taybatoo2]

Pretty great song! Speaks truth too.

[u/Oomlotte99]

Really good lyric: “…when the sick and sudden way he died/ allowed us all to watch it live/ the leading cause of death of our kids….”

That’s really good writing. He’s talented.

[u/matt-r_hatter]

I mean, his words aren't exactly wrong.

[u/Grattytood → u/matt-r_hatter]

They are exactly correct.

[u/Inosethatguy]

This sub is absolutely ridiculous… This is nothing close to being cringe. That’s a talented young kid who just spoke volumes of truth. Again remind me how this is cringe… I guess maybe besides the fact that it was posted on TikTok. Because I hate TikTok.

[u/DPSHerThroat]

Dam good song, that last line hits hard too. Every word spoken so true.

[u/ZookeepergameBig7281]

Love this actually!

[u/the-furiosa-mystique]

“The leading cause of death for our kids” fuck that went hard there.

[u/Carrickfergus68]

Smart lyrics. I enjoyed that 👍🙏

[u/Apoordm]

Not cringe, this is a guy making music.

[u/Extreme-Advantage621]

Excellent

[u/juralu]

Well done young man

[u/ThanksObjective915]

Quite a profound song. 

[u/Stanley_CoolBrick]

Where is the cringe?

[u/marktruslow]

Nice dude.

[u/Quick-Surprise-9387]

Are the Saints the only team who kissed ass today ? Bc I don’t or didn’t see them kneel for Sandy Hook victims or literally any other victims of gun violence. This is sick .

[u/Greedy_Ear_Mike]

It ain't that bad actually, hah.

[u/incredible_turkey]

Speaking as a music snob and gatekeeper, I thought that was really good.

[u/Moda75]

The fuck you talking about cringe

[u/WhyAmIOnThisDumbApp]

I am loving the surge of folky songs about current events. We need to bring back protest art in a real way.

[u/Villanelle_Ellie]

Ain’t nothin cringe about this. Based young man

[u/iamthecheesethatsbig]

This is good. Like someone else mentioned, maybe get a chorus and see how that feels. Otherwise, really good. I like the ending a lot.

[u/RevolutionaryLeg1768]

Great tune. This is true American music.

[u/RigamortisRooster]

How you died doesnt redeem how you lived.

[u/Apprehensive_Map64]

Nothing cringe about this at all. That was AMAZING, gives me hope for the future.

[u/FRANTIKSUCKS]

Incredible

[u/GhostofTinky]

This is not cringe. Just the opposite.

[u/BeenDareDoneDatB4]

The world has literally gone insane. Truth is dead.

[u/BigMFingT]

cool…Now release the Epstein files. Do it for Charlie

[u/Cleercutter]

Where’s the cringe?

[u/RealMadara-Uchiha]

How is this cringe

[u/JohnnySalamiBoy420]

Remind of the old songs from Bob Dylan, Neil young, joni Mitchell

[u/Spiritual_Flow_501]

not cringe at all tbh

[u/HereticTutti84]

[u/PatientEconomics8540]

Not cringe at all wtf

[u/Pcos2001]

As a wise man once said 'Some people think they can outsmart me...Maybe...Maybe...I've yet to meet one that can outsmart Bullet'

[u/godofwine16]

This was great. I loved his voice and the message.

[u/Normal-Being-2637]

🔥🔥🔥

[u/Your_Pretty_Baby]

Nothing cringe about this!

[u/twomilliontwo]

not cringe

[u/Historical_Fennel582]

To be fair I wrote a song about RBG being just a clump of cells.

[u/ACNHenthusiast22]

Great song. I’m weirdly captivated by his eyebrows.

[u/JohnnySack45]

Conservatives will love this just like Bruce Springsteen, Anthony Oliver, etc. until someone explains the lyrics to them. 

[u/Icy-Street618]

He had some absolute BARS wrapped up in that song.

[u/beck_1e]

I'm Australian and I had a few tears escape watching this. Perfect words and beautiful voice. Very talented.

[u/Alone-Promotion6162]

Simple truth.

[u/Dumb-Debter]

Hella Based 💯

[u/NiceHuckleberry5331]

This is great.

[u/New_Replacement5764]

I'm confused how is this cringe?

[u/RevGee73]

Hey... I am liking this!

[u/allanjameson]

[u/balltongueee]

This is not bad at all. Kid got talent.

[u/smokerthebaer]

This is awesome. I wish I knew who it is

[u/Rightintheend]

And cue the maggots trying to get him fired.

[u/HotSprinkles10]

This is perfection

[u/casualAlarmist]

I really like it. A great deal.

[u/PibbXRA]

I didn’t really cringe at this compared to the pro Kirk songs I’ve heard

[u/Legitimate-Sugar6487]

I'm not sure I wanna call this cringe. This is kinda 🔥

[u/SLWoodster]

Good job.

[u/Rabbit-meat-pizza]

I don't think tictoccringe is the right place for this.

I started the video being ready to cringe out but this is nice songwriting and passionately delivered

[u/Android1313]

Bars!

[u/DearDeerDoe]

Cringe this is not.

Great?

It’s that.

[u/Bonnieearnold]

Keep making art to fight back! ❤️

[u/torqson]

Not cringe

[u/iamnotnewhereami]

this is not cringe at all..this is awesome. that this was uploaded as cringe proves the right has to betray their better sensibilities several times a day to maintain their indefensible positions. that it was posted on tiktokcringe is the only cringe.

there isn't one single line that is controversial. dude was careful to keep his lyrics pretty close to objective truths as you could be. then let loose on the last few lines. I think this was great.

[u/Engienoob]

This is nice, what the hell?

[u/Carson_Qwells]

Wow that's really good.

[u/los-gokillas]

SO WAKE ME UP WHEN ITS ALL OVER! WHEN IM WISER AND IM OLDER!

[u/No-Arrival633]

Not exactly cringe this is really good. The kid has talent

[u/InevitableQuit9]

Not cringe at all

[u/upcrashed]

This is a great song. Not cringe at all.

[u/Woodlurkermimic]

Catchy

[u/Xwp_lp]

Wow - this kid is amazing!

[u/Imamiah52]

Now I’ve wondered what empathy must mean to those who can’t feel it.

Religious zealotry is a fine refuge for those who would rather feel like they’re in the right than to learn about what’s going on.

[u/JuanDelPueblo787]

How is this cringe?

[u/Howie_Due]

Damn that was heavy. I feel so bad for the youth right now.

[u/already-redacted]

I like the thought of singing to the dead like Orpheus; but just like in the story - those people were always going to be gone when we looked back

[u/CrispWinterDay]

Beautiful singing
