Country music artist Dylan Marlowe is puzzled why TikTok comments on his latest song, which includes lyrics about God and firearms, are being concealed on the social media site, yet he seems to have a hunch. In sharing this new song on the platform, the 27-year-old recording artist foresaw possible controversy and noted in his post that despite potential censoring, it remained one of his favorite songs from his record.

The video showcases Marlowe with guitar in hand while seated on a porch. He’s seen singing “Stick to My Guns” from his debut studio album, Mid-Twenties Crisis due for release come September 27. Expressive and revealing lyrics include declarations of fatigue towards prescriptive directives from TV characters and mention of staunch adherence to cherished principles despite potential backlash.

In an ensuing TikTok post, Marlowe shared that upon waking and finding over 500 comments seemingly disabled or missing altogether on the viral clip–which made him question why they had disappeared. His assertions were not substantiated however he visually expressed he had a possible guess concerning the vanishing commentary. Furthermore, he reached out to TikTok regarding the obscured comments but was left without an explanation as of yet.

Following these revelations, views soared to almost 200 visible remarks left by Monday morning. Messages of encouragement subsequently flooded both TikTok clips.
Several users proclaimed their absolute need for such tenacious lyrical content like Marlowe’s as others declared their unwavering support claiming he possesses the voice in more than just lyrical capacity.

Born in Georgia, Marlowe has shared stages with big names in country music including Laney Wilson and Hardy, even securing a signing by Sony Music Nashville. Recognized for Jon Pardi’s number-one hit “Last Night Lonely,” penned by none other than himself.

While talking about his forthcoming album ‘Mid-Twenties Crisis,’ originally written during his own mid-twenties crisis over the past two or three years, Marlowe stated that the album will feature songs that are not only enjoyable to perform live but also hold deeply conceived lyrics.

Marlowe’s saga brings attention to much larger conversations in the realm of ‘Real News’, weighting relevance with ‘Christian Worldview’ and issues potentially impacting freedom of speech, calling for fair play by platforms disseminating what we commonly regard as ‘Trusted News’. Marlowe’s story highlights concerns over transparency and bias within major social media platforms, an issue increasingly spotlighted within today’s Breaking News.
