Right? We all have problems and what is big to me may be small to you, but everyone needs someone they feel they can talk to. It takes a lot of grit to submit to vulnerability, but after you feel free and have a lot more clarity mentally
Im almost 60 years old so you can imagine im not a fan of rap. i happened upon this video and played it to see what its about.i so glad i did, its packed with more meaning and real true life feelings than any song i can think of right off the top of my head. this is a brilliant composition. tom mcdonald you sir have done us all a favor by giving us this song BRAVO SIR
Im not sure i understand your assertion here. do you contend that im not really myself or not really an old fella. well how do we put your thoughts out of thier misery here. i was born in june 1961. by some standards thats old right .if compared to the pyramids no im not that old. so young man i guess we are at an impasse. being old is subjective. hows this. at my age i do sometimes feel very old and tired. hence my screen name. lol.
I hope you understand how much you actually connect with us , your fans, on a personal level. I feel like I have known you for a while. I feel like I could have a deep, meaningful conversation with you about anything... Like the best friend or big brother we all wish we had.... Thanks Tom , for your music, your time, and most of all, for being real..... Ordering your album and shirt next week when I get paid. Been sick for a while, and a cancer survivor.... I have 8 kids and a loving wife. Sometimes though, I feel like a part of me is missing. When I listen to your music, I feel like I've still got a chance.... I know struggle. I see you do too.... And that's why I feel like I got a chance... It's your words of encouragement...... You're the best Tom! Don't ever stop !!!
Umm..I feel the same way you do..and I'm only 16 but feel like a father because at 6 I had to grow up to raise my lil bro and sis because their dad did Jack Shit and mom was on drugs. Now their with their dad and I'm with my aunt. I feel like I've lost my purpose and I'm scared because I'm not there to protect them.
@firemanjim324 I couldn't of said how I feel any better. I needed this today! I ordered my CD last Friday on payday, lol You and your family will be in my thoughts and prayers! Much ❤ friend! Annnnd Tom, thank you and don't stop! Xx
@@LilMuffinTop yup life def sucks. That's why I dont celebrate my birthday, it's just another year closer to death, another year closer to loved ones dying, another year another funeral.
"I need something even stronger, give me childhood, my mother, and my father". The fact that someone is willing to be this vulnerable in front of the whole world... Makes me a little emotional.
the fact that people need others to be vulnerable worries me. it's simple words.........the need for others to be weaker than you...............nothing enlightened about it. straight scary.
@@chriswhited You make a good point but, I believe here at least, that its not a need to see people weaker than you but, to see someone expose themselves in a way that you wish you were able to. In contrast, it's seeing someone brave enough to do something you yourself are not brave enough to do, yet. You can't see someone as weaker than you, if they are doing that which you are unable to.
fuck that hit hard. gonna do everthing i can to make sure my daughters childhood stays a childhood. scares me being anew parent and thinking about how fucked up everything is now
@@TheMinority2 enjoy every single moment of your child's childhood. My youngest is 17 now, my oldest 28,and i wish i could turn the clock back. Enjoy the gift you have with her.
@@TheMinority2 im 31 and looked into every conspiracy to find the truth is Jesus.. evolution is the dumbest religion of all.. check out is genesis history, kent hovind, and dr chuck missler.. this world is GOING DOWN
@@TheMinority2 same boat here...I grew up a party animal, goofy dude just getting by. If I was still that same guy I'd laugh while holding up a blunt in one hand and a middle finger in the other. Watching as both sides fight and follow lies, while I just laugh and get high. But as a 31 year old father now, with an 8 year old princess who I want to make proud, it kills me to see this world she'll grow up in. Trying to keep hope but every day feels closer to the breaking point. Use to be one part could break and we fall back on the others, but now we look around and every single foundation is crumbling. When the first shoe drops, the rest will fall with it. No hope to hold onto, no best outcome in sight, the only comfort I believe is if God takes us all tonight. I don't want to grow up in a world without her freedom, I don't want her to grow up in a world that wants her beaten bc the color of her skin or the religion she grew up in. I just can't find peace, I'm praying but the world outside is screaming so loud i can't think straight.
@GingerBeardMan Dunn. Just raise her to be strong and skeptical. It is the natural ebb and flow of history that strong, smart people create great civilizations. People get lazy and weak and then fight over the scraps of that civilization. At some point, people will have enough and the strong/smart will move back in, rebuild, and times will be hopeful again. It's sad that our children must grow up in this world, but there are always great things to see experience in life. Also, look on the bright side; we aren't living in the feudal ages, we aren't in the trenches in ww1, we aren't being invaded by the huns or the mongolians.
I wish everything could go back. I wish I could feel loved again. I wish I could cry. I wish everything would make sense. I wish I could feel happy. I wish I could get my energy back. I wish I could feel something. I wish...
You and I are the same i wish I could stop thinking about my life ending I wish everything could go back to the way it was I wish I could feel loved again cuz all I feel is hate I wish I could cry cuz I have no energy to lay I wish I could feel something and not just that night replaying I wish everything would make sense but it does not I wish I could feel something not just pane I wish ppi would love me for me not for my body l wish i could see what a dad is l wish ppi stop asking are you ok l wish.....😨😰😥😢😭😭😱😓😩
We are all the same I wish i had friends I wish i could smile again I wish i wasn't sad all the time I wish i was brave I wish i could tell the truth when ppl ask if im okay I wish my parents knew me I wish i could be loved I wish i could die I wish someone could hug me I wish i could start life from the beginning I wish i had more friends I wish.....
Bro this song hit me like an 18 wheeler. Had me tearing up and reminiscing over all the memories of being an innocent little kid playing gameboy, building jumps for my bike, holidays by the beach I grew up having every summer, kicking back on rainy days playing Super Nintendo, watching Saturday morning cartoons, knowing nothing but pure hearted fun and joy experiencing everything for the first time and being filled with wonder. I want my yesterdays back.
I just don’t know how to get through this song without tears - I have lost my mother my father and my older sister. I grew up with lava floors toy closet’s and I would waive my arm up and down like a snake in the breeze when in cars. This hits so hard. My 14-year-old daughter is just starting to date and she came in while I was listening to this and I made her listen to it and then we both cried and held each other. God bless you Tom.
a common theme in many of his songs; we are all people, we may look different on the outside, but inside we struggle with the same problems, same thoughts. anxiety, depression, hunger, addiction, anger, regret, pain dont care about your skin color.
Today is my 69th birthday. I just got up and just got my coffee. Turned on my phone and opened youtube, this video was in my rotation. Quite a coincidence that I heard this song today. I'm still in tears. Tom, you are one of the best wordsmiths I have ever heard. THANK YOU
Thank you brother for your service. My time on the big Grey hunk of junk is the only time I wish I could have done differently. May the winds blow to speed you to your destination, may the seas churn enough to help you grow. May it rain just enough so you never know thirst. May your sails rip only when you can repair them. May land appear when you need a rest. And may the seas be bountiful so you never know hunger.
I just discovered you thanks to Fake Woke. I started to listen all your songs in Spotify and I found this. I had to stop what I was doing and pause it, went to the office's bathroom and listened while crying like a fkng baby. No song in my life had described my feelings so deeply bro. Your music is the best thing that had happened to me in years!!! From the bottom of my heart, THANK YOU TOM!!
I'm bouncing around people who made the most poignant replies and recommending that they take a look at NF's "I Miss the Days" over at th-cam.com/video/fy9YETB068M/w-d-xo.html I'm not NF, this isn't self-promotion, it's just a fan saying, "Damn, these are the only two artists I've known so far who made a track with this theme and this effort." I know Tom said in "I Don't Care" to stop comparing him to "Hopsin, Token, NF, and Em", but I'm just saying that they have two different artistic ways of portraying the same issues.
"I wish i wasn't sober" These words burned in the my brain last year. This year i have had more sober days then the last three years combined. I was able to close up some of the pain and hurt from my childhood and i think i am ready for fatherhood and to build a better world now i am not just surviving. Tom, you keep bringing these tears to my eyes through your truthful art. The passion you have for this art is absolutely beautiful and i hope you pass it on to your blood. Ignite the truth in yourself so you may respect your self and when you do you can bring the truth to everyone and watch the seeds spread into love and community.
This song gets to me more every time I listen to it. I wish Tom could take that trip Back to the Future, too, but selfishly his genius might not be as great if he hadn’t lived through what he’s lived through. Not sure if he wants it or knows it, but God is using this young man in powerful ways! I pray for his protection (physically, spiritually, mentally)... total protection! And I thank God for Tom and his gift! I can’t think of a more important artist in my 65 years.
Hi! How's going! I hope your all good!! Anyway I wondered if your would like to join! Your Brothers & Sisters to God's garden.. Happy birthday 🎂 🥳 🎉 🎈 🎁 🎊 😀😃🙂🙃😊😇
I totally agree with everything you wrote especially Tom being a very important artist. Musicians like Tom come along maybe Once in a lifetime and I’m so glad I got to witness this beautiful person at 70 years old.
I'm a huge metalhead and totally foreign to the rap scene but I heard one song from Tom and just can't stop listening to anything he does. You are an inspiration my man keep up the amazing fucking work.
I a huge fan of extreme metal music but there is a rawness about Toms music that connects. He’s not playing some goofy ass gangster like most of them do. No songs about boats, whores, bling, and big asses women. He isn’t selling that fantasy world.
Wow. Just wow. Never knew other humans shared so many of the same thoughts, feelings, and experiences. The pain you put in words is just, WOW. U ARE AMAZING
Hi how are things..We are hoping your fine! But if not! Don't worry all is going to be fine 🙂 Your Brothers & Sisters invite you to God garden.. Happy birthday 🎂 🥳 🎉 🎈 🎁 🎊 😀😃🙂🙃😊😇
You was my brothers favorite rapper. He loved your music and would have loved this song. He would ask his fiancee "Who's the man, babe?" & she knew the right answer would be "Tom MacDonald" He passed Monday (1-28-19) at the age of 29. Its unreal how fitting this song is with the heartache we're going through and how it's been released just a few days after we've lost him. Gives me chills and hits my heart like no song ever has.
Recently, I have gone through some things that have set me back mentally and and physically, your music, especially I wish have had such an impact on my life. It takes me back to a simpler time when I was not as messed up but I appreciate you for the music you make!!! Keep it up and never stop dreaming I know cause of you I haveq become a better person by answering the real questions 1:14 ❤ 1:53
Just keep hanging in there guys life gets better after the madness is over.this mans music also helped me get clean and stay clean. Ive lost loved ones have battled myself and my demons and hit the bottom and tried to dig farther down.i fought back and clawed my way out of the grave i dug myself accepted the lose of ones ive loved stopped using heroin and everything else and stood back up and started walking again. Its been almost 7 months now. Yes it was brutal and hard but completely worth it. Tom and the hog fam was there for me through it all. Never give up never surrender its you all are worth fighting for. Love you all hog fam and thank you tom for bringing us all together.
*"I wonder if Id jump from here if Id survive the bottom and would everyone believe me If I had told them I had fallen Ima Jump"* That verse is probably what I think about before I sleep every night before I sleep. God bless you Tom.
I wish I was a little bit taller I wish I was a baller I wish I had a girl who looked good, I would call her I wish I had a rabbit in a hat with a bat And a six four Impala I wish I was like six-foot-nine So I can get with Leoshi 'Cause she don't know me but yo she's really fine You know I see her all the time everywhere I go And even in my dreams I can scheme a way to make her mine 'Cause I know she's livin phat Her boyfriend's tall and he plays ball So how am I gonna compete with that? 'Cause when it comes to playing basketball I'm always last to be picked And in some cases never picked at all So I just lean up on the wall Or sit up in the bleachers with the rest of the girls Who came to watch their men ball Dag y'all! I never understood, black Why the jocks get the fly girls and me I get the hood rats I tell em "scat, skittle, scabobble" Got hit with a bottle And I been in the hospital for talkin' that mess I confess it's a shame when you living in a city That's the size of a box and nobody knows yo' name Glad I came to my senses Like quick-quick got sick-sick to my stomach Overcommeth by the thoughts of me and her together Right? So when I asked her out she said I wasn't her type I wish I was a little bit taller I wish I was a baller I wish I had a girl who looked good, I would call her I wish I had a rabbit in a hat with a bat And a six four Impala I wish I was a little bit taller I wish I was a baller I wish I had a girl who looked good, I would call her I wish I had a rabbit in a hat with a bat And a six four Impala I wish I had a brand-new car So far, I got this hatchback And everywhere I go, yo, I gets laughed at And when I'm in my car I'm laid back I got an 8-track and a spare tire in the backseat, but that's flat And do you really wanna know what's really whack? See I can't even get a date, so, what do you think of that? I heard that prom night is a bomb night With the hood rats you can hold tight But really though, I'm a Figaro When I'm in my car I can't even get a hello Well, so many people wanna cruise Crenshaw on Sunday Well, then I'mma have to get in my car and go You know I take the 110 until the 105 Get off at Crenshaw, tell my homies "look alive" 'Cause it's hard to survive when your living In a concrete jungle and these girls keep passing me by She looks fly, she looks fly Makes me say "my, my, my" I wish I was a little bit taller I wish I was a baller I wish I had a girl who looked good, I would call her I wish I had a rabbit in a hat with a bat And a six four Impala I wish I was a little bit taller I wish I was a baller I wish I had a girl who looked good, I would call her I wish I had a rabbit in a hat with a bat And a six four Impala I wish I was a little bit taller I wish I was a baller I wish I was a little bit taller I wish I was a baller I wish I was a little bit taller I wish I was a baller I wish I was a little bit taller I wish I was a baller Hey, I wish I had my way 'Cause everyday would be a Friday And you could even speed on the highway I would play ghetto games Name my kids ghetto names Little Mookie, Big Al, Lorraine Yo you know that's on the real So if you're down on your luck Then you should know just how I feel 'cause if you don't want me around See I go simple, I go easy, I go Greyhound Hey, you, what's that sound? Everybody look what's going down Ah yes, ain't that fresh? Everybody wants to get down like that I wish I was a little bit taller I wish I was a baller I wish I had a girl who looked good, I would call her I wish I had a rabbit in a hat with a bat And a six four Impala I wish I was a little bit taller I wish I was a baller I wish I had a girl who looked good, I would call her I wish I had a rabbit in a hat with a bat And a six four Impala
Just woke up and this popped up on a token video and...damn. Tom, you are beautiful and so is your music. Your helping so many people including me and I almost feel like I know you because your words at times feel like a more well-spoken way of how I feel.
@@drengr7452 Don't get me wrong, I love Tom. I have been digging him since I first heard about him months ago. Token is definetly a different kind of rapper but he does bangers as well as hard emotional content like his 1 wish equals 1 prayer, exception and no service. I love tom and token. I do feel closer to tom though as far as what he is going through and what he has gone through.
@@chrislopez5363 i don't like how he dissed TH-cam rappers but thats where he started its honestly annoying how him and em already turned on their old fans so im making a diss on both of them not like theyll see it but its good stress relief
Dang kid. I'm sitting here in Utah, 46 years old and cant quit watching your vids. I dont even listen to rap. You have a great sound and style, keep it up. Liked the back to the future touch, haha.
Hello Fellow Utah native, I usually listen to stuff more like Slipknot, when I watched "White Boy" I started binge watching/listening and have heard all his stuff at least twice.
I wish that my brother's cancer just gets cured already... i wish he comes out well... i wish everything was just the same thing MAN I JUST WANT TO 😢 I wish there was someone i could talk to with the same or similar thing... This hurts me... it really does And what's worse, im young, im pretty young, and seing my brother ALMOST DIE IN MY OWN EYES once, i just wish this would just end fast in a good ending
Reading this comment section actually gives me hope. There's a lot of us broken, damaged people in this world. Be kind to everyone because you never know what someone else is going through. There's 3.8 million people who listened to this song and all feel the same way. A simple wave or a hello could make all the difference in the world to someone. The world is a shitty place but knowing there's a bunch of broken ones fighting with me gives me hope. If someone is reading this and they feel alone, here's your proof that your not. And if you got out of bed today and took on a world that's tried to knock you down, I'm proud of you.
Yup but you know most people be hating because they don't improve themselves and when they view someone like him that's improving himself and his music on a daily basis all they do is hate
Humble Roots the industry decides who becomes famous or not, im happy for his success but he'll never become mainstream famous unless he signs his name in blood, which pretty much means selling your soul, and thats not what hes trying to be.....
@@Theundisputedelite Oh trust me I know I make music myself, but because I don't use my music to pick on people and offend them just for kicks, I only have 24 subs lol. & okay there, I know some of his older music was deep and meaningful, but clearly Tom has no problem selling his soul cause he went from "Don't let society tear you down, let's empower each other" to "I'm gonna wear a 'make America hate again' ski mask to own the libs! Hahaha I offended you, you politically correct snowflake!" and now he's back to the good side again with this song: "It's okay to be gay/fat/etc." which is the exact opposite of the vibes those previous two songs gave off. That's WHY he is blowing up, because he is willing to sell his soul, that's why he's going to blow up "all the way" and it's why I have no sympathy for him when he bitches about being hated on.
@@humble_roots you ever think for a sec he and many others "own the libs" because they pretend to care about the disenfranchised just to virtue signal and don't actually give a shit about anyone which can make some people in bad spots in life turn to them just to have things get worse when you think they are the ones who care but don't do anything but tell people they care and don't actually put in any real help or support for ANYONE
Because the "music industry" finds him too controversial but zanex, hoes, and murder are fine....this mans a friggin genius and will rise up regardless what the industry says. The best thing you can do is share with everyone.
The short answer is that the "music industry" follows an agenda of destruction and you are the target. With Tom McD, from what I see is that he does not have a destructive agenda. He actually show his humanity and tells the truth. He does not wish to pervert you or society. He is true to himself. He is also more of what todays Christianity should be rather than those that profess God but actually do nothing.
as a die hard metalhead through and through, I started listening to Tom with “People So Stupid” about a month ago and have been digging through his tracks since. *this was incredible!* jaw dropping from the jump and a true tearjerker. wow! I look forward to continuing this journey through Tom’s music.
Yep. I have been a super fan of Metallica ever since I was a teen, Im 36 now, father of 4 children. My youngest baby has 1 year and 2 months now. From her 4 month of live to her 1 year birthday, she would only ever sleep listening to Enter Sandman in my lap - it was the only thing that could calm her down. I NEVER listened to Rap in my life, and now I have been in a marathon of this guy for 4 days, as often as I have time to spare. This guy is a diamond in a sea of mud. Really crazy stuff, I never thought I would see such a thing in my life.
Well done bro, thank you. My dad passed on as soon as i turned 18, graduated high school and was finally old enough to take a chance at life on my own. I would love for him to still be here so we could interact as adults, instead i find myself wishing to be a kid again that much more, just so i could talk with him one last time. But life goes on, and its selfish of me to wish him back only to have him endure through that fuck8ng cancer again. Cheers.
Look on the bright side. You knew your dad. You got to spend that time with him. You have those memories. Look back on the good times with a smile and learn from the bad times. I feel the need to say this to anyone who's lost their dad because I never met mine. 14 years I've lived without him. Over a decade, he left me... Always cherish the memories you have with your dad and look forward to seeing him again when your time arrives!
Aspects of this are still so cringe tho. From his image (that conforms so close to the parts of hiphop/rap that he critisizes) to half of his hooks/choruses being cornball and sappy... They undercut the great lyrics and message. Just being honest, not hatin. I definitely think he's ultimately underrated, but i cant blame people. Tom MacDonald is what Uncle Adams wishes he could be (an inspirational/motivational rapper that doesn't have to rap about violence, drugs, hoes, etc that doesn't suck). Tom almost pulls it off perfectly, but there are mixed messages and image issues still afoot
@@AlexHerlan Those are purposeful. His *whole* brand is "dont judge by image, everyone has a perspective and everything has nuance" and tries hard to create *surface* contradictions that fuel the pursuit of a deeper truth.
Paddy. Have ypu even listened to him, talk about bullshit comment. Tom's more focused on bringing people together than segregation and I've never heard anything racist from him. Check yourself...
I'm only eighteen and I wish so deeply to be a _child_ again I forget to take care of myself and I guess among other things that I miss the attention. I procrastinate until I find myself starving and going through crazy withdrawal symptoms even though my pills are right there, I needed to take them an hour ago, *get up, get up-* but I'm busy looking at my phone
My phone is such a huge distraction to me aswell. I decided to delete social media for about a month and only use TH-cam when I’m doing something productive or finished my daily chores. After a month I redownloaded and rarely use social media, only to check up on my loved ones. It takes about a month to break a habit and make one, you got this ❤
Damn, I wanna be 16 again... I want my parents back.. all those days we took for granted.. damn. Thanks G, needed this frfr. Thanks for bringing me hope through your music ❤️
im a grown man at 26 years old and this song just made me cry and wish i could have my younger years back. TOM YOU INSPIRE ME TO BE A BETTER PERSON THANK YOU FOR YOUR MUSIC.
TH-cam recommendations becoming too good this days. Already subbed and played more than 10 times till now. "i wish" i could press the like button more than one time.
Thanks Tom I needed this. I am a new subscriber and figured out today that my mom has breast cancer . Music is the only way I find peace at mind and this song helped bud. Thanks!!
@@SubFarts same here I wish luck and don't let anything pull you down I can't Imagen your pain of seeing your mother in those condition. Much love to you guys and luck
@@ZiggyGood nigga I didnt put my mom for a damn like I'm just posting for hope and a prayer on the TH-cam Community! Get to stepping and stop disrespecting
i was that guy wishing i was sober man ....i had a son and it was like god gave me a reason to live 5 years sober after being a addict for 15 years now all i wish is i can give this little man every bit of love left in my heart
If we didn't have a screwed up world, Tom Macdonald wouldn't be Tom Macdonald. Thanks to this screwed up world, he is who he is and helps those who listen and are struggling get the courage to step in the right direction.
Musicians like Tom MacDonald come along maybe once in a lifetime!!!!! I’m so happy that he came along while I am alive to witness this amazing singer/songwriter who is changing the world ONE song at a time
I've been around for a while, around thirty years, and have always had a real soft spot for rap, but I haven't come across a rap artist I liked so much in literally years. Tom MacDonald is a gem 💎
Tom, I know you'll never read this.... But thank you. This helped me get sober and never look back. 3 years this upcoming October. It was hell, I looked at seeking help as a weakness. I was supposed to be the one helping to save people and due to some of the awful things i've witnessed, i needed something, anything to sleep without the dreams. I stumbled on this video way back and decided to get help. I then looked back at all the fun I used to have with my family because of this video doing the same thing. Thank you for saving me and allowing me to be with my family again. Im in tears and feel so stupid writing this in a comment section. I still battle every day when I have to give meds to help save a life but i know i cant lose myself or my family ever again. So thank you from the bottom of my heart.
From one disabled person to another, everyday you make the end of is a battle you win...every week is 7 victories, every year is 364 victories...you've got this, keep pushing and know you're a winner ❤️
You are only as bad as you think you are . Meaning you can and will be the best you . That's all you need . People need to stop the hate and join together . Your stronger when you have strong people around you . You got this . Got love from the internet from some dude in NY wishing you the best . Always stay positive even in the hurricane . That's what I did , and do everyday . Been sober now , not a useless fuck up. Bc I believed in myself. When everyone doubted me and my life style . Now I'm welcomed to the table . #2020IWIN
I lost my dad a month and a half ago and your music is medicine man.. it’s helped a lot.. someone’s finally saying what we’re thinking.. keep making music! Keep making medicine! Tom Macdonald your a living legend!
Thank you guys some mornings it’s harder than others I just feel this thousand pound weight on my chest I just wish I could have one more phone call from him I wish I could see him one more time but it’s music like this that lets me know that no matter how crippling the pain is no matter how heavy the anxiety is and no matter how bad I don’t want to get out of bed in the mornings I know that I’m not aloneThank you everyone for your support and thank you Tom MacDonald for making the music that speaks 100 voices Thank you for saying what many of us are saying but just don’t have a voice to say.. Thank you for making this music for making this medicine....
Manuel Ramos sincere sympathy. I lost my FATHER in 2008, my father got to meet both of my sons but time has barely given him EXISTENCE anymore. He was an alcoholic but not a mean alcoholic he never claimed to be perfect and he was a people magnet. There was something about him that people admired. He is still teaching me about life since he left. Most times I realize he was even stronger than I gave him credit for while here. My mom passed in 2016. For the first time in my life I felt a disconnect with the universe the 2 people who were responsible for giving me life were gone and my sister was TOXIC as a narcassist she had always been dominating and I eliminated her from my life in 2009 and I'm so much better for it..but I just wanted to let you know that I feel your pain of losing a parent. I wish you peace and love. The best thing we can do to honor a loved one past is give then the present of our presence now it's not a coincidence that the definition of present is gift and the same sounding means right now. Much love stay blessed.
Someone told me to check out this song from tom because i wore a back to the future shirt in my last video and Im so happy i did. Though i didnt expect to be on the verge of tears. I love the home movies you added in here tom. Very sweet.
I like this guys because it’s this song that makes me look at the simpler things in life like all these kids want to vape or doing stupid fucking bullshit, I want to go and adventure without a care in the damn world because that’s what makes life good.
People consume what they want, the music speaks, him not being "famous" is reliant on him. This music is for a certain demo hence the countless comments that all sound the same. SJW ish
This is the FIRST celebrity that has won my admiration and respect. Most of the time I despise all celebrities, they are usually terrible and despicable human beings that deserve nothing but contempt, even if I admire their artistic creations, but this guy, my God, what a soul. Not only his art, but also his biography, he's a true inspiration, I hope the kids today will have this guy as their idol. I certanly wish MY kids to do so.
How isn’t this the stuff on the radio... we need to press this message Edit: Ik that he doesn’t want to blow up or that’s why he hasn’t yet us cuz he’s real and I agree I’m just saying more ppl need to hear the message
As a cop. I wish I could save everyone. I wish the world didnt hate me. I wish that I could be the hero you want. I wish my friend didnt take that bullet. I wish you could see the difference I do make. I wish the bad ones would quit. I wish the world saw me the way I see me. I wish you could see me cry. I wish you could hear me laugh. I wish...
Make him blow up? Nah... he's already there bruh. This just another great track under his belt. He's been big for a while, and for all the right reasons
This is one of the last songs my best friend listened too before she died of a drug overdose. This was her life. Its honestly like you spoke through her. This breaks me everytime. But she will never be forgotten. Thanks Tom. So so much this song and hang on were the last songs she listened too. Now these songs keep me going.
Hi Sister this is God's massage for YOU! Your friend is still HERE & happy..For now.. Your welcome to join us in is garden.. Happy birthday 🎂 🥳 🎉 🎈 🎁 🎊 😀😃🙂🙃😊😇
15 surgeries since 9 months old, 3 car wrecks I should have died in. 2 amputations, 2 accidental overdoses and a gun in my hand at 3:36 a.m. in 2014. Tom, your songs are medicine to those of us battling those demons that hide behind our eyes when we look in the mirror. Thank you man.
@Xdark_dreamsX thanks man. I figure I was born this way for a purpose. Maybe someone else in my situation wouldn't be able to handle it. I love being an amputee tho. Much better than what I was born with.
Yes, his music is my medicine. I refuse to go on a bunch of meds again. Screw it, I'll find a way cope. But man, you been thru a shit load, which you overcame, so dont take your own life... there is a purpose for you here, and greater plan. (I have to believe that) I hope things get better for you!!
@@aidanjahns3656 I won’t lie, he has talent and skill and most importantly potential. But there’s still so much room to grow. Lyrics are half the battle, and if the whole songs goal is to make a few crybabies upset than clearly it’s not good. And his flow and rhyming in the rap part has significantly decreased especially since he’s trying to fit it “roasts” and conservative talking points over actual lyricism. Not only that but the chorus’s completely lack creativity. They sound the same from song to song and most of the time all of it entails is a repeating of the song’s title. He’s good, and it’s hard to find musically talented individuals these days. But it’s clear to me that it doesn’t really matter to him anymore as he’s trying to fit in with the right wing and say what they want him to say. These opinions aren’t his, and it makes me sad to realize that he lost respect for himself.
This song makes me miss my childhood and my parents so much. I wish I could see them one more time and give them a hug and tell them how much I love them. Growing up in the sixties and 70s was awesome. I wish I could see my sister again before she got dementia. I wish I could talk to my Dad as an adult before he went to fight in Vietnam. I wish I could tell my mom how great a job she did taking care if us all after. I wish I could have my children back for one more day when they were babies.
I wish my daughter knows how much I love and miss her. I wish I hadn't wasted so much time. I wish my dad loved me as much as his alcohol. I wish I could feel again. I wish I knew the answers. I wish the physical pain wasn't so debilitating. I wish all of you a wonderful life and pure happiness.
This one and “I miss the days” by NF really hit hard, especially when you go from something so stressful to the memories of your childhood, back when you were innocent and happy, just waiting for Christmas or a birthday with your friends and family. The years went from crawling by to zooming fast. Tell your family you love them, y’all.
"I wish, I wish, I wish with every candle on the cake, that I could quit doing these drugs but I can't and I'm afraid" brought tears to my eyes. The most prominent thought in my head for a few years. People say just stop and I have done that more than 20 times. But two weeks later right back where I started. I think there is something wrong with me I try so hard but I just can't come through. I feels good to hear the words come from someone else. As horrible as it sounds, it feels good to know that I'm not broken alone.
If it takes 100 times DON'T STOP TRYING!! I'm 12 years sober, I'll be the first to say "I LOVED GETTING HIGH!" I respect that BUT, BUT I hated the consequences! I never once saw a happy successful drug addict so I knew it wasn't possible! I don't lie to myself and say I hate it because I loved the escape HOWEVER, I was "escaping" the good stuff too! I think understanding that was the first step for me. I don't know what it'll take for you but hopefully maybe something I said helps even just a tiny bit! I didn't get it the first time either. Went to a great rehab and deleted every number and "friend" from my old life and just took each feeling as it came... sometimes screaming into a pillow but I got through it. YOU CAN DO IT! Good luck
find temperance a balance & pick up an old joyful hobbie, keep those idle hands busy. Quiting will happen for you when probs an unresolved issue boils up & you'll find new closure. Syncretism Society .. might have some change of mind & ideas for new paths. kind regards all
thank you for releasing your work, and being a person that stands for what they believe in. i wish i had people like you in my life, or even a proper support group half as solid as others, people like you inspire addicts and survivors to try to find a better day. it is appreciated
1:15 holy shit, that just brought back alot of memories. I once did that and to make my stop my grandpa poured water out of the window and we laughed about it. He died not even a year later and this just made me cry. God bless you Tom. Edit: Tysm for 100 likes!
A beautiful soul. How fortunate he was born a poet, lyricist and musician so that all of us are able to enjoy his vision. Thank you Tom for the gift that is your art!
I'm just barely starting college and I wish I could go back. I mean, I'm anxious and eager to see what comes next, but I also wish I could go back to being an innocent kid that didn't have to deal with all the shit in the world. I get huge waves of longing nostalgia all the time.
Awwww thanks so much for your love and care towards my music and page you’re such an huge fan and I promise you I will always call it a country 🥰🥰🥰🥰 that’s my number you can chat me up (210) 874-9382 and hope it’s safe with you ???
Dude, this song put a smile on my face and brought tears to my eyes at the same time. I have been emotionally numb for so long.. even the slight feeling of sadness is a great joy. May the Lord of Heaven have mercy on us all.
everything will be okay dude, there's always someone who loves you even if you think they dont. hope it gets better for you :) in case you needed to hear it
I wish... My father was still alive. He was my 5 feet 3 inch Mr. Miyagi. It hasn't even been a year yet, sense his passing and i have not had the time to grieve.. sometimes randomly when no one is around i break down an cry. I wish I could hear one more Vietnam story of his or one family memory of us catching fish again.. whatever story I wish i would have stayed at the hospital that night when i drop some movies off for him.. cuz a part of me thinks, if i would have stayed, my Presence would have kept him alive. I know its crazy..but yea. Love always 1947-2019 nov. 11 Thank You Mr. Macdonald I needed to vent. Take Care Be Safe Stay Safe
Oh my. It's not crazy to wish you were there so he might have lived. I was there when my mother took her last breath. 7 years out, I still cry. I still wish. I still ask what if. I don't think it ever goes away. Just know you're not alone. Many of us have lost a parent and are intimately familiar with the grief you feel. Reach out to someone if you need to. I'm sorry for you loss. My prayers are with you.
I know exactly what you mean and it's not crazy at all. I still vividly remember my sister calling me from the hospital with our dad at 8:02am March 15 2007, "Mike, come now, take a cab don't bus just come!" As the taxi pulled up to my house and I went to get in my neighbour was asking about my dad, I filled him in but every now and then the scene replays in my head and I wish I would've ignored him and jumped in the cab. I got to the hospital at 8:53am, my dad passed at 8:47am...i still to this day wish i never talked to my neighbour, even though i know it probably wouldn't have made any difference, but still, yeah i understand what you mean!
While listening to this, tears in my eyes for happy memories gone by and sadness for those who never had them. How is it possible to feel so many different emotions from such a powerful song? Tom, you have been blessed with a gift! I love your music!! ❤️
All of those who never had them? You mean like all the kids in today's society? We did not stand up like we should have, so this is what we handed them.
"I wish I had a friend who I could tell, I would call'em"
That one hurt a little
Noah Melnick Probably my favorite part of the song
Right? We all have problems and what is big to me may be small to you, but everyone needs someone they feel they can talk to. It takes a lot of grit to submit to vulnerability, but after you feel free and have a lot more clarity mentally
Bro I don’t have any friends everyone hates me
My best friend of 25 years died 4 years ago, 6 weeks after being diagnosed with Cancer, still hurts like it was yesterday. Irreplaceable.
when was that one in the song?
Im almost 60 years old so you can imagine im not a fan of rap.
i happened upon this video and played it to see what its about.i so glad i did, its packed with more meaning and real true life feelings than any song i can think of right off the top of my head.
this is a brilliant composition.
tom mcdonald you sir have done us all a favor by giving us this song
BRAVO SIR
Same man
Ur names tired old man your clearly no really a old man
Im not sure i understand your assertion here. do you contend that im not really myself or not really an old fella. well how do we put your thoughts out of thier misery here.
i was born in june 1961. by some standards thats old right .if compared to the pyramids no im not that old. so young man i guess we are at an impasse. being old is subjective.
hows this. at my age i do sometimes feel very old and tired. hence my screen name. lol.
Tired Old man I'm 54 and i am right with you on what you said.
@@Bindigirl7 I'm just 14 and I been through the shit
I hope you understand how much you actually connect with us , your fans, on a personal level. I feel like I have known you for a while. I feel like I could have a deep, meaningful conversation with you about anything... Like the best friend or big brother we all wish we had....
Thanks Tom , for your music, your time, and most of all, for being real..... Ordering your album and shirt next week when I get paid. Been sick for a while, and a cancer survivor.... I have 8 kids and a loving wife. Sometimes though, I feel like a part of me is missing. When I listen to your music, I feel like I've still got a chance.... I know struggle. I see you do too.... And that's why I feel like I got a chance... It's your words of encouragement...... You're the best Tom! Don't ever stop !!!
Umm..I feel the same way you do..and I'm only 16 but feel like a father because at 6 I had to grow up to raise my lil bro and sis because their dad did Jack Shit and mom was on drugs. Now their with their dad and I'm with my aunt. I feel like I've lost my purpose and I'm scared because I'm not there to protect them.
Facts
@@swannthegoat586 I feel the same and I'm only 16 too. I've been through similar experiences. Where are you from?
@firemanjim324 I couldn't of said how I feel any better. I needed this today! I ordered my CD last Friday on payday, lol You and your family will be in my thoughts and prayers! Much ❤ friend! Annnnd Tom, thank you and don't stop! Xx
@@LilMuffinTop yup life def sucks. That's why I dont celebrate my birthday, it's just another year closer to death, another year closer to loved ones dying, another year another funeral.
I wish I wish with every candle 🔥🔥🔥🗣️🗣️🗣️ hard 0:14
❤❤❤❤
*Can you give me back my yesterdays, I'll give you my tomorrows.*
God damn..I felt that
I swear me too
I FELT IT ALSO! 🙋🏾♂️
Me as well
I think we all did bro.. this song hit me so far I had to fight back my tears
Kevin Start factsss
"I need something even stronger, give me childhood, my mother, and my father". The fact that someone is willing to be this vulnerable in front of the whole world... Makes me a little emotional.
Shit made me cry.
I'll admit I choked up a bit the first time I heard that line.
SAME
the fact that people need others to be vulnerable worries me. it's simple words.........the need for others to be weaker than you...............nothing enlightened about it. straight scary.
@@chriswhited You make a good point but, I believe here at least, that its not a need to see people weaker than you but, to see someone expose themselves in a way that you wish you were able to. In contrast, it's seeing someone brave enough to do something you yourself are not brave enough to do, yet. You can't see someone as weaker than you, if they are doing that which you are unable to.
I’m looking at my son and crying right now cause I wish kids were kids again. Tom, you get it. So much respect.
fuck that hit hard. gonna do everthing i can to make sure my daughters childhood stays a childhood. scares me being anew parent and thinking about how fucked up everything is now
@@TheMinority2 enjoy every single moment of your child's childhood. My youngest is 17 now, my oldest 28,and i wish i could turn the clock back. Enjoy the gift you have with her.
@@TheMinority2 im 31 and looked into every conspiracy to find the truth is Jesus.. evolution is the dumbest religion of all.. check out is genesis history, kent hovind, and dr chuck missler.. this world is GOING DOWN
@@TheMinority2 same boat here...I grew up a party animal, goofy dude just getting by. If I was still that same guy I'd laugh while holding up a blunt in one hand and a middle finger in the other. Watching as both sides fight and follow lies, while I just laugh and get high. But as a 31 year old father now, with an 8 year old princess who I want to make proud, it kills me to see this world she'll grow up in. Trying to keep hope but every day feels closer to the breaking point. Use to be one part could break and we fall back on the others, but now we look around and every single foundation is crumbling. When the first shoe drops, the rest will fall with it. No hope to hold onto, no best outcome in sight, the only comfort I believe is if God takes us all tonight. I don't want to grow up in a world without her freedom, I don't want her to grow up in a world that wants her beaten bc the color of her skin or the religion she grew up in. I just can't find peace, I'm praying but the world outside is screaming so loud i can't think straight.
@GingerBeardMan Dunn. Just raise her to be strong and skeptical. It is the natural ebb and flow of history that strong, smart people create great civilizations. People get lazy and weak and then fight over the scraps of that civilization.
At some point, people will have enough and the strong/smart will move back in, rebuild, and times will be hopeful again.
It's sad that our children must grow up in this world, but there are always great things to see experience in life.
Also, look on the bright side; we aren't living in the feudal ages, we aren't in the trenches in ww1, we aren't being invaded by the huns or the mongolians.
I wish everything could go back.
I wish I could feel loved again.
I wish I could cry.
I wish everything would make sense.
I wish I could feel happy.
I wish I could get my energy back.
I wish I could feel something.
I wish...
…I had a 10 inch D I -
You and I are the same i wish I could stop thinking about my life ending
I wish everything could go back to the way it was
I wish I could feel loved again cuz all I feel is hate
I wish I could cry cuz I have no energy to lay
I wish I could feel something and not just that night replaying
I wish everything would make sense but it does not
I wish I could feel something not just pane
I wish ppi would love me for me not for my body
l wish i could see what a dad is
l wish ppi stop asking are you ok
l wish.....😨😰😥😢😭😭😱😓😩
We are all the same
I wish i had friends
I wish i could smile again
I wish i wasn't sad all the time
I wish i was brave
I wish i could tell the truth when ppl ask if im okay
I wish my parents knew me
I wish i could be loved
I wish i could die
I wish someone could hug me
I wish i could start life from the beginning
I wish i had more friends
I wish.....
We all cry and love, but due to the world our tears dried in the wrong way, and our love wilted like roses with no roots
Everything in life has a sense,
Tom I am 49 and haven't shed a tear in a long time but man you got me with this. Great job!!!!!!!!!!!!
I'm 8 years behind you but I'm right there with ya.
☹️☹️❤️❤️
Chancy Ulvik hi dad
I know right what a talented man
Same ❤️
Bro this song hit me like an 18 wheeler. Had me tearing up and reminiscing over all the memories of being an innocent little kid playing gameboy, building jumps for my bike, holidays by the beach I grew up having every summer, kicking back on rainy days playing Super Nintendo, watching Saturday morning cartoons, knowing nothing but pure hearted fun and joy experiencing everything for the first time and being filled with wonder.
I want my yesterdays back.
❤️❤️❤️
same...
Fuck bro.... if anything ever made me wish for my yesterdays it was your comment! Simpler times I remember
Facts! 😥
💕💕
I just don’t know how to get through this song without tears - I have lost my mother my father and my older sister. I grew up with lava floors toy closet’s and I would waive my arm up and down like a snake in the breeze when in cars. This hits so hard. My 14-year-old daughter is just starting to date and she came in while I was listening to this and I made her listen to it and then we both cried and held each other. God bless you Tom.
same ....not even sure why...
❤
@Lil Yeet go troll elsewhere
@Lil Yeet how bout you grow up ‘lil yeet’? LMFAO
@Lil YeetHow would it help to grow up??
“I wish it wasn’t hard for me to grow up and forgive” I feel the same way…😢
Same.
Same.
Same.
Same.
Same.
Yeah Tom, this is it.
Well done.
Wasn't expecting to see you here
,Gl with youtube
I love watching your rust videos you and the vert are funny
Ser Winter you have more subscribers than him XD
Now here is a surprise, wasn't expecting you to be a fan of tom!
Wait, you listen to Tom? Tell Gen. Sam I said hi
a common theme in many of his songs; we are all people, we may look different on the outside, but inside we struggle with the same problems, same thoughts. anxiety, depression, hunger, addiction, anger, regret, pain dont care about your skin color.
Yes, Even though we come from different countries, different races, different colors.❤I can still😊 feel the Strength and hope of this song.❤I
Yeah bro s**t I wish I was one block
Today is my 69th birthday. I just got up and just got my coffee.
Turned on my phone and opened youtube, this video was in my rotation. Quite a coincidence that I heard this song today.
I'm still in tears.
Tom, you are one of the best wordsmiths I have ever heard.
THANK YOU
Hey fellow hangovergang! Happy birthday beautiful soul!!!🥰🤘🏼🌟🎂
A belated blessed birthday. !
HOOYAH.. thank you for your service!
@@eaglelove00 TY
Thank you brother for your service. My time on the big Grey hunk of junk is the only time I wish I could have done differently. May the winds blow to speed you to your destination, may the seas churn enough to help you grow. May it rain just enough so you never know thirst. May your sails rip only when you can repair them. May land appear when you need a rest. And may the seas be bountiful so you never know hunger.
I usually don't fill raps touching but this one hit different 🤧 😢
I just discovered you thanks to Fake Woke. I started to listen all your songs in Spotify and I found this. I had to stop what I was doing and pause it, went to the office's bathroom and listened while crying like a fkng baby. No song in my life had described my feelings so deeply bro. Your music is the best thing that had happened to me in years!!! From the bottom of my heart, THANK YOU TOM!!
Exactly the same. I'm here crying too. ♡
Right there with you. Tom your amazing!!!
I'm bouncing around people who made the most poignant replies and recommending that they take a look at NF's "I Miss the Days" over at th-cam.com/video/fy9YETB068M/w-d-xo.html
I'm not NF, this isn't self-promotion, it's just a fan saying, "Damn, these are the only two artists I've known so far who made a track with this theme and this effort." I know Tom said in "I Don't Care" to stop comparing him to "Hopsin, Token, NF, and Em", but I'm just saying that they have two different artistic ways of portraying the same issues.
Right there with you bro
"I wish i wasn't sober"
These words burned in the my brain last year. This year i have had more sober days then the last three years combined. I was able to close up some of the pain and hurt from my childhood and i think i am ready for fatherhood and to build a better world now i am not just surviving.
Tom, you keep bringing these tears to my eyes through your truthful art. The passion you have for this art is absolutely beautiful and i hope you pass it on to your blood.
Ignite the truth in yourself so you may respect your self and when you do you can bring the truth to everyone and watch the seeds spread into love and community.
Crazy Nomad keep up the fight brother I’m 65 days clean. That’s the longest I’ve been clean in 20 years. It’s slowly getting better!
"The harder the task, the more glory in overcoming it." Take those words with you everywhere sir, they have saved me many times.
Great job!
Clean 10 years now and I still feel this. ❤
This song gets to me more every time I listen to it. I wish Tom could take that trip Back to the Future, too, but selfishly his genius might not be as great if he hadn’t lived through what he’s lived through. Not sure if he wants it or knows it, but God is using this young man in powerful ways! I pray for his protection (physically, spiritually, mentally)... total protection! And I thank God for Tom and his gift! I can’t think of a more important artist in my 65 years.
Deep, I like it. Thanks
The wounds are where the light get in.♥️
Touching and heart felt
Hi! How's going! I hope your all good!! Anyway I wondered if your would like to join! Your Brothers & Sisters to God's garden.. Happy birthday 🎂 🥳 🎉 🎈 🎁 🎊 😀😃🙂🙃😊😇
I totally agree with everything you wrote especially Tom being a very important artist. Musicians like Tom come along maybe Once in a lifetime and I’m so glad I got to witness this beautiful person at 70 years old.
This song made me cry SO hard😭💞
Tom McDonald is one of the best artists of today. Dude, im blown away, truly, this is from a metal fan. So wish to see you perform
Same here man metal all the way but toms message is the right one
Tour started today he might be coming near you
@@lilliann2012 im seeing him on the 16th in Milwaukee. Very excited
Snap!
I’m a metal fan too. My friend told me about him. I’m the only 14 year old boy who listens to Tom McDonald our my entire school (McColl sc)
I'm a huge metalhead and totally foreign to the rap scene but I heard one song from Tom and just can't stop listening to anything he does. You are an inspiration my man keep up the amazing fucking work.
I'm the exact same way!!!!
Same for me!even if i m more a rock guy,but yeah, Tom s a true artist
Same. Not sure how I got here from Behemoth, but I'm not upset.
💞💞
I a huge fan of extreme metal music but there is a rawness about Toms music that connects. He’s not playing some goofy ass gangster like most of them do. No songs about boats, whores, bling, and big asses women. He isn’t selling that fantasy world.
Wow. Just wow. Never knew other humans shared so many of the same thoughts, feelings, and experiences. The pain you put in words is just, WOW. U ARE AMAZING
🥰🥰🥰
Do you feel it to? The honest movement built on kindness but with critical thinking

This makes me want to be a better person today.
What a cool song.
Props for getting the Delorian.
Every time I think this guy can't get any better, I listen to one more track.
True
Yep!
Exactly...
Lol I just found his channel. I'm right there with you!
I couldn't describe it any better myself. He and Nova are truly visionaries. Gifted beyond measure.
Then the dedication at the end... am I the only one who feels that when Tom mentions his fans in a dedication that he really means it?
If you haven't, you need to watch the long version of My Fans.
Trust me I feel that way about all his songs
You was my brothers favorite rapper. He loved your music and would have loved this song. He would ask his fiancee "Who's the man, babe?" & she knew the right answer would be "Tom MacDonald" He passed Monday (1-28-19) at the age of 29. Its unreal how fitting this song is with the heartache we're going through and how it's been released just a few days after we've lost him. Gives me chills and hits my heart like no song ever has.
holy shit
Dang that sucks prayers out to you and yours
Sorry for your loss....
Sorry for your lose...I don't know you,but I wish you everything good in life
Sorry for your loss me and my family wish u the best in life
Recently, I have gone through some things that have set me back mentally and and physically, your music, especially I wish have had such an impact on my life. It takes me back to a simpler time when I was not as messed up but I appreciate you for the music you make!!! Keep it up and never stop dreaming I know cause of you I haveq become a better person by answering the real questions 1:14 ❤ 1:53
Dude can do rap, alternative rock and now pop style hip hop. He's got it all 🔥

Welcome to Hang Over Gang
Just keep hanging in there guys life gets better after the madness is over.this mans music also helped me get clean and stay clean. Ive lost loved ones have battled myself and my demons and hit the bottom and tried to dig farther down.i fought back and clawed my way out of the grave i dug myself accepted the lose of ones ive loved stopped using heroin and everything else and stood back up and started walking again. Its been almost 7 months now. Yes it was brutal and hard but completely worth it. Tom and the hog fam was there for me through it all. Never give up never surrender its you all are worth fighting for. Love you all hog fam and thank you tom for bringing us all together.
*"I wonder if Id jump from here if Id survive the bottom and would everyone believe me If I had told them I had fallen Ima Jump"*
That verse is probably what I think about before I sleep every night before I sleep. God bless you Tom.
I wish I was a little bit taller I wish I was a baller I wish I had a girl who looked good, I would call her I wish I had a rabbit in a hat with a bat And a six four Impala I wish I was like six-foot-nine So I can get with Leoshi 'Cause she don't know me but yo she's really fine You know I see her all the time everywhere I go And even in my dreams I can scheme a way to make her mine 'Cause I know she's livin phat Her boyfriend's tall and he plays ball So how am I gonna compete with that? 'Cause when it comes to playing basketball I'm always last to be picked And in some cases never picked at all So I just lean up on the wall Or sit up in the bleachers with the rest of the girls Who came to watch their men ball Dag y'all! I never understood, black Why the jocks get the fly girls and me I get the hood rats I tell em "scat, skittle, scabobble" Got hit with a bottle And I been in the hospital for talkin' that mess I confess it's a shame when you living in a city That's the size of a box and nobody knows yo' name Glad I came to my senses Like quick-quick got sick-sick to my stomach Overcommeth by the thoughts of me and her together Right?

Just woke up and this popped up on a token video and...damn. Tom, you are beautiful and so is your music. Your helping so many people including me and I almost feel like I know you because your words at times feel like a more well-spoken way of how I feel.
I don't like token anymore
Same
@@drengr7452 Don't get me wrong, I love Tom. I have been digging him since I first heard about him months ago. Token is definetly a different kind of rapper but he does bangers as well as hard emotional content like his 1 wish equals 1 prayer, exception and no service. I love tom and token. I do feel closer to tom though as far as what he is going through and what he has gone through.

Dang kid. I'm sitting here in Utah, 46 years old and cant quit watching your vids. I dont even listen to rap. You have a great sound and style, keep it up. Liked the back to the future touch, haha.
Hello Fellow Utah native, I usually listen to stuff more like Slipknot, when I watched "White Boy" I started binge watching/listening and have heard all his stuff at least twice.
Same here but I'm in Florida and almost 42 years old. I think Tom is amazing!!! Some of his songs really touch the soul!!
@@derekroberts7217 definitely!! Love Slipknot!!! I listen to mostly metal and rock. But I love this!!

sorry
Reading this comment section actually gives me hope. There's a lot of us broken, damaged people in this world. Be kind to everyone because you never know what someone else is going through. There's 3.8 million people who listened to this song and all feel the same way. A simple wave or a hello could make all the difference in the world to someone. The world is a shitty place but knowing there's a bunch of broken ones fighting with me gives me hope. If someone is reading this and they feel alone, here's your proof that your not. And if you got out of bed today and took on a world that's tried to knock you down, I'm proud of you.
Dude....I fucking needed that. Thank you for posting, it hit my soul
This is the second song of Toms I’ve heard first being bad news. Both drop kicked my heart. I didn’t know I needed this guy in my life
Everyone is broken. From enemies to homies. People just may never figure out why.
Right back at ya my dude🤙🏼
🙏
Praying this dude blows. Nothing but the truth in bars. whole catalogue is fire.
Yup but you know most people be hating because they don't improve themselves and when they view someone like him that's improving himself and his music on a daily basis all they do is hate
He's at 283k subs, how has he not blown up already?
Humble Roots the industry decides who becomes famous or not, im happy for his success but he'll never become mainstream famous unless he signs his name in blood, which pretty much means selling your soul, and thats not what hes trying to be.....
@@Theundisputedelite Oh trust me I know I make music myself, but because I don't use my music to pick on people and offend them just for kicks, I only have 24 subs lol. & okay there, I know some of his older music was deep and meaningful, but clearly Tom has no problem selling his soul cause he went from "Don't let society tear you down, let's empower each other" to "I'm gonna wear a 'make America hate again' ski mask to own the libs! Hahaha I offended you, you politically correct snowflake!" and now he's back to the good side again with this song: "It's okay to be gay/fat/etc." which is the exact opposite of the vibes those previous two songs gave off. That's WHY he is blowing up, because he is willing to sell his soul, that's why he's going to blow up "all the way" and it's why I have no sympathy for him when he bitches about being hated on.
@@humble_roots you ever think for a sec he and many others "own the libs" because they pretend to care about the disenfranchised just to virtue signal and don't actually give a shit about anyone which can make some people in bad spots in life turn to them just to have things get worse when you think they are the ones who care but don't do anything but tell people they care and don't actually put in any real help or support for ANYONE
Who the hell are you ! And how the heck am I only now discovering you ?
Shirvelle Smart because you listen to mumble rap 😂😂
@@bladebloodslayer309 I don't listen to rap period
Exactly!!
Just be thankful your here now!
All his stuff is amazing. Hopefully we see this side of him more.
Thank you Tom for just being you
The real crime for me is that this video is two years old and I just found it! Why was this never on the radio????!!!!
Because the "music industry" finds him too controversial but zanex, hoes, and murder are fine....this mans a friggin genius and will rise up regardless what the industry says. The best thing you can do is share with everyone.
@@glenmel78 FACTS
Because they so fake woke!
@@glenmel78 I found Tom 2 weeks ago. Now I have my brother and a few friends listening. Everyone share him, he’s a national treasure
The short answer is that the "music industry" follows an agenda of destruction and you are the target.
With Tom McD, from what I see is that he does not have a destructive agenda. He actually show his humanity and tells the truth. He does not wish to pervert you or society. He is true to himself.
He is also more of what todays Christianity should be rather than those that profess God but actually do nothing.
as a die hard metalhead through and through, I started listening to Tom with “People So Stupid” about a month ago and have been digging through his tracks since. *this was incredible!* jaw dropping from the jump and a true tearjerker. wow! I look forward to continuing this journey through Tom’s music.
Lol man, same
U a fan of Upchurch too?
@@bennywhite7062 uuuhhh... No, I haven't heard of them 😂

Yep. I have been a super fan of Metallica ever since I was a teen, Im 36 now, father of 4 children. My youngest baby has 1 year and 2 months now. From her 4 month of live to her 1 year birthday, she would only ever sleep listening to Enter Sandman in my lap - it was the only thing that could calm her down.
I NEVER listened to Rap in my life, and now I have been in a marathon of this guy for 4 days, as often as I have time to spare. This guy is a diamond in a sea of mud. Really crazy stuff, I never thought I would see such a thing in my life.

Well done bro, thank you. My dad passed on as soon as i turned 18, graduated high school and was finally old enough to take a chance at life on my own. I would love for him to still be here so we could interact as adults, instead i find myself wishing to be a kid again that much more, just so i could talk with him one last time. But life goes on, and its selfish of me to wish him back only to have him endure through that fuck8ng cancer again. Cheers.
Albert G Your not selfish, your just a good son.
He would be proud of you I'm sure brother!
Albert G
Awe.....I’m so sorry.....this hurt my heart. 😢
Albert G damm that hit hard being so close to my dad I honestly hope for the best and may he Rest In Peace
Look on the bright side. You knew your dad. You got to spend that time with him. You have those memories. Look back on the good times with a smile and learn from the bad times. I feel the need to say this to anyone who's lost their dad because I never met mine. 14 years I've lived without him. Over a decade, he left me... Always cherish the memories you have with your dad and look forward to seeing him again when your time arrives!
He deserves a bigger audience and more fans.... way more
Sir Di'Lon you know at least he has real fans
It's our job as fans and supporters to purchase To
m' s music as well as share the hell.out of his videos.
Aspects of this are still so cringe tho. From his image (that conforms so close to the parts of hiphop/rap that he critisizes) to half of his hooks/choruses being cornball and sappy... They undercut the great lyrics and message. Just being honest, not hatin. I definitely think he's ultimately underrated, but i cant blame people.
Tom MacDonald is what Uncle Adams wishes he could be (an inspirational/motivational rapper that doesn't have to rap about violence, drugs, hoes, etc that doesn't suck). Tom almost pulls it off perfectly, but there are mixed messages and image issues still afoot
@@AlexHerlan Those are purposeful. His *whole* brand is "dont judge by image, everyone has a perspective and everything has nuance" and tries hard to create *surface* contradictions that fuel the pursuit of a deeper truth.
Alexander Herlan and therein lies another beauty.
For we are not God. Only human.
Honestly how could anyone listen to this and have any hate in their heart for him? This song is sooo meaningful. True art.
He's racist and his music suckd
Paddy. Have ypu even listened to him, talk about bullshit comment. Tom's more focused on bringing people together than segregation and I've never heard anything racist from him. Check yourself...
@@robhyden8384 you've never heard anything racist from him because you don't know shit about him. his music is terrible

I'm only eighteen and I wish so deeply to be a _child_ again
I forget to take care of myself and I guess among other things that I miss the attention. I procrastinate until I find myself starving and going through crazy withdrawal symptoms even though my pills are right there, I needed to take them an hour ago, *get up, get up-*
but I'm busy looking at my phone
Oh, I do have hobbies. But oftentimes, when I tell myself I love to cook, for example, I wonder if I'm lying to myself. Do I really enjoy it?
My phone is such a huge distraction to me aswell. I decided to delete social media for about a month and only use TH-cam when I’m doing something productive or finished my daily chores. After a month I redownloaded and rarely use social media, only to check up on my loved ones. It takes about a month to break a habit and make one, you got this ❤
I don't know why but I bust out like a baby crying every time I hear this song and I don't cry easy
Because people like us can actually relate to the material. It’s not about being a millionaire and naked women etc. Tom’s taken Em’s spot on my list

Tom Macdonald is a philosopher who also happens to have “bars.” I just learned that term ;)
I didn’t know it ‘till a few weeks ago :)
I’m proud of you for learning a new phrase.
I've been around for a while, around thirty years, and have always had a real soft spot for rap, but I haven't come across a rap artist I liked so much in literally years.
Tom MacDonald is a gem 💎
This dude is bad ass and speaks the truth about everything
Bars meaning a line?
Tom, I know you'll never read this.... But thank you. This helped me get sober and never look back. 3 years this upcoming October. It was hell, I looked at seeking help as a weakness. I was supposed to be the one helping to save people and due to some of the awful things i've witnessed, i needed something, anything to sleep without the dreams. I stumbled on this video way back and decided to get help. I then looked back at all the fun I used to have with my family because of this video doing the same thing. Thank you for saving me and allowing me to be with my family again. Im in tears and feel so stupid writing this in a comment section. I still battle every day when I have to give meds to help save a life but i know i cant lose myself or my family ever again. So thank you from the bottom of my heart.

My mom killed herself last year on December 11, I’ve listened to this song about 100 times since then. It’s helping.
Im sorry for your loss
Thank you guys some mornings it’s harder than others I just feel this thousand pound weight on my chest I just wish I could have one more phone call from him I wish I could see him one more time but it’s music like this that lets me know that no matter how crippling the pain is no matter how heavy the anxiety is and no matter how bad I don’t want to get out of bed in the mornings I know that I’m not aloneThank you everyone for your support and thank you Tom MacDonald for making the music that speaks 100 voices Thank you for saying what many of us are saying but just don’t have a voice to say.. Thank you for making this music for making this medicine....
Manuel Ramos sincere sympathy. I lost my FATHER in 2008, my father got to meet both of my sons but time has barely given him EXISTENCE anymore. He was an alcoholic but not a mean alcoholic he never claimed to be perfect and he was a people magnet. There was something about him that people admired. He is still teaching me about life since he left. Most times I realize he was even stronger than I gave him credit for while here. My mom passed in 2016. For the first time in my life I felt a disconnect with the universe the 2 people who were responsible for giving me life were gone and my sister was TOXIC as a narcassist she had always been dominating and I eliminated her from my life in 2009 and I'm so much better for it..but I just wanted to let you know that I feel your pain of losing a parent. I wish you peace and love. The best thing we can do to honor a loved one past is give then the present of our presence now it's not a coincidence that the definition of present is gift and the same sounding means right now. Much love stay blessed.
Someone told me to check out this song from tom because i wore a back to the future shirt in my last video and Im so happy i did. Though i didnt expect to be on the verge of tears. I love the home movies you added in here tom. Very sweet.
How is this guy not as famous as all this rappers out here?!?!
I know why, because he is true
Matei Asdfgasdfg ✊🏻👁exactly
Because he doesn’t rap mumble bullshit and raps deep and true shit
I like this guys because it’s this song that makes me look at the simpler things in life like all these kids want to vape or doing stupid fucking bullshit, I want to go and adventure without a care in the damn world because that’s what makes life good.
to be famous you need to be stupid
People consume what they want, the music speaks, him not being "famous" is reliant on him. This music is for a certain demo hence the countless comments that all sound the same. SJW ish

EXACTLY! I CAN'T FIND A BAD SONG
Oh come on now ever since he made his political reactionary songs I stopped liking him
@@GoLD-ec1bw the skill it takes to make them and the talent he has makes it a good song not great like this one he has very little bad songs
@@aidanjahns3656 I won’t lie, he has talent and skill and most importantly potential. But there’s still so much room to grow. Lyrics are half the battle, and if the whole songs goal is to make a few crybabies upset than clearly it’s not good. And his flow and rhyming in the rap part has significantly decreased especially since he’s trying to fit it “roasts” and conservative talking points over actual lyricism. Not only that but the chorus’s completely lack creativity. They sound the same from song to song and most of the time all of it entails is a repeating of the song’s title. He’s good, and it’s hard to find musically talented individuals these days. But it’s clear to me that it doesn’t really matter to him anymore as he’s trying to fit in with the right wing and say what they want him to say. These opinions aren’t his, and it makes me sad to realize that he lost respect for himself.
@@GoLD-ec1bw nah bro the choruses are great like in this song and lots of others.

I wish I could tell my mom how great a job she did taking care if us all after. I wish I could have my children back for one more day when they were babies.
Choose Jesus Christ as you Lord and Savior, ask forgiveness for your sins, and try to not sin again and all your wishes will be true, Amen
I'm so sorry about that. May their memories live on forever, and may you live a wonderful life.
This made me cry. I wish you only the best in life and peace in your heart
This is so sad, I'm tearing up right now
This made me cry too. I feel you man..
I wish my daughter knows how much I love and miss her.
I wish I hadn't wasted so much time.
I wish my dad loved me as much as his alcohol.
I wish I could feel again.
I wish I knew the answers.
I wish the physical pain wasn't so debilitating.
I wish all of you a wonderful life and pure happiness.
Same to you drew. Hope you receive the blessings you deserve.
I found that JESUS fills that void...❤
It's a shame none of my wishes would be granted
Same. I want to give my kids the best life I can but I know I can't and I need to figure out how to before I have them.
awww ty. hope things get better for you, love.
This one and “I miss the days” by NF really hit hard, especially when you go from something so stressful to the memories of your childhood, back when you were innocent and happy, just waiting for Christmas or a birthday with your friends and family. The years went from crawling by to zooming fast. Tell your family you love them, y’all.
"I wish, I wish, I wish with every candle on the cake, that I could quit doing these drugs but I can't and I'm afraid" brought tears to my eyes. The most prominent thought in my head for a few years. People say just stop and I have done that more than 20 times. But two weeks later right back where I started. I think there is something wrong with me I try so hard but I just can't come through. I feels good to hear the words come from someone else. As horrible as it sounds, it feels good to know that I'm not broken alone.
😭
I wish you all the best in your struggle. Keep fighting. You deserve to be free.
If it takes 100 times DON'T STOP TRYING!! I'm 12 years sober, I'll be the first to say "I LOVED GETTING HIGH!" I respect that BUT, BUT I hated the consequences! I never once saw a happy successful drug addict so I knew it wasn't possible! I don't lie to myself and say I hate it because I loved the escape HOWEVER, I was "escaping" the good stuff too! I think understanding that was the first step for me. I don't know what it'll take for you but hopefully maybe something I said helps even just a tiny bit! I didn't get it the first time either. Went to a great rehab and deleted every number and "friend" from my old life and just took each feeling as it came... sometimes screaming into a pillow but I got through it. YOU CAN DO IT! Good luck
find temperance a balance & pick up an old joyful hobbie, keep those idle hands busy. Quiting will happen for you when probs an unresolved issue boils up & you'll find new closure. Syncretism Society .. might have some change of mind & ideas for new paths.
kind regards all
The heart of a man movie helps me with all please watch it GOD BLESS YOU ALWAYS AND FOREVER

@@imc0ol-rl4ssis a goat RIP
I know I used to do that all the time I called it “the shark swimming through the air”
Replayed it like 5 times and still can't come up with the words to describe how it makes me feel.
Speechless. So relevant
A beautiful soul. How fortunate he was born a poet, lyricist and musician so that all of us are able to enjoy his vision.
Thank you Tom for the gift that is your art!
I'm just barely starting college and I wish I could go back. I mean, I'm anxious and eager to see what comes next, but I also wish I could go back to being an innocent kid that didn't have to deal with all the shit in the world. I get huge waves of longing nostalgia all the time.
His lyrics are the realist ever written and told with the greatest passion this world has known. 😢

0:52, this line hits hard :(
Dude, this song put a smile on my face and brought tears to my eyes at the same time. I have been emotionally numb for so long.. even the slight feeling of sadness is a great joy. May the Lord of Heaven have mercy on us all.
...Damn my guy I'm not a religious person but I couldn't have said it better myself
everything will be okay dude, there's always someone who loves you even if you think they dont. hope it gets better for you :) in case you needed to hear it
I feel you bro... definitely
I wish... My father was still alive.
He was my 5 feet 3 inch Mr. Miyagi.
It hasn't even been a year yet, sense his passing and i have not had the time to grieve.. sometimes randomly when no one is around i break down an cry.
I wish I could hear one more Vietnam story of his or one family memory of us catching fish again.. whatever story
I wish i would have stayed at the hospital that night when i drop some movies off for him.. cuz a part of me thinks, if i would have stayed, my Presence would have kept him alive. I know its crazy..but yea.
Love always

Thank You Mr. Macdonald I needed to vent.
Take Care
Be Safe
Stay Safe
Oh my. It's not crazy to wish you were there so he might have lived. I was there when my mother took her last breath. 7 years out, I still cry. I still wish. I still ask what if. I don't think it ever goes away. Just know you're not alone. Many of us have lost a parent and are intimately familiar with the grief you feel. Reach out to someone if you need to. I'm sorry for you loss. My prayers are with you.
@Eat DandDie Thank you for sharing , it was really hard for me. I can only imagine how hard it was for you.
Thank you again.
Be safe
Stay Safe.
@DinkleDigeroo Thank you. We both lost someone. And I understand your pain.
Thanks again.
Take Care
Be Safe
Stay safe
I know exactly what you mean and it's not crazy at all. I still vividly remember my sister calling me from the hospital with our dad at 8:02am March 15 2007, "Mike, come now, take a cab don't bus just come!" As the taxi pulled up to my house and I went to get in my neighbour was asking about my dad, I filled him in but every now and then the scene replays in my head and I wish I would've ignored him and jumped in the cab. I got to the hospital at 8:53am, my dad passed at 8:47am...i still to this day wish i never talked to my neighbour, even though i know it probably wouldn't have made any difference, but still, yeah i understand what you mean!
@@mikematheson6206 Thanks for sharing.
I wish I had a dad😭
I am crying right now from saying this😭😭😭😭
While listening to this, tears in my eyes for happy memories gone by and sadness for those who never had them. How is it possible to feel so many different emotions from such a powerful song? Tom, you have been blessed with a gift! I love your music!! ❤️
All of those who never had them? You mean like all the kids in today's society? We did not stand up like we should have, so this is what we handed them.
@@tonybelmonte1724 exactly that 👌 x
