Oliver Anthony Releases New Haunting Track ‘Only God Can Save Us Now’

New music from Oliver Anthony.

Life has been a whirlwind for the Virginia native ever since he released his debut single, “Rich Men North of Richmond,” back in 2023. The video of his in-the-woods performance was originally uploaded to YouTube and quickly went viral, racking up millions upon millions of views before Anthony was even able to release the song on streaming platforms.

Now, a couple of years and over 300 million streams later, Oliver Anthony is still navigating his way through the music industry, proving wrong those that said he’d have just 15 minutes of fame following his viral hit. And it was actually the success of “Rich Men North of Richmond” that has given the artist the flexibility to do as he wishes when it comes to his music.

He’s still an independent artist, free to do as he wishes and not bound by any sort of record label telling him what he can or cannot do. And it appears that he’s ramping up to release some new music, and already has one new track ready to go. As he explained in his most recent Instagram post, he has released a new song called “Only God Can Save Us Now.”

Anthony also used the post to explain why he’s been absent when it comes to releasing new music, and that he’ll soon be releasing a lot more in addition to this one:

“It’s officially October! And I have a surprise for you. A brand new song has been released today on streaming, recorded by none other than RadioWV on some old family land in Virginia earlier this year.

We’re in Norway today for the last show of the Europe run. Everyone here has been so good to us and I’m thankful. We have been gone for almost a month. I miss Virginia so much it hurts and can’t wait to get back.

I have a ton more songs to get put out now and that will be my primary focus until further notice. I know I’m way behind, and I appreciate your patience.”

Sounds like the ideal, haunting song for the month of October.

Anthony’s guitar playing paired with the wailing fiddle create a sense of uneasiness, which pairs with the lyrics that give off the same vibe. The song’s title – “Only God Can Save Us Now” – obviously implies that there’s some dark theming to this one, and that message comes through clear as day in the track’s chorus:

“I think only God can save me now
I think that time’s just about run out
He’s the light in the dark, the right at the fork of the road
But it’s hard to admit when you don’t even know where to go.
But I don’t know.”

The eerie sound of the track is perfectly matched up with the setting of this music video. It appears that Oliver Anthony and the fiddle player accompanying him are standing on the grounds of an old cemetery in Virginia. As you can see below, old, faded headstones surround the country music singer as he sings his new song.
