I have been sober for 61 years because I know a bad choice when I see it. My brother got started at the age of 7 and still going but not strong 💪 any more. Weak and he seems to be not there anymore. I cry because I did my best to be an example to him but can't make a horse 🐴 drink after leading him to the water. ❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤
Thank you for this and all my best to you. I had my 35th sobriety birthday August 8th this year Just remember it's never easy, You can always get there. I remember looking back thinking I would never make 30 days. It's certainly of the journey. Have a safe trip X o
man, when you just do the guitar and voice, it exemplifies the lyrics even more. This song is a perfect example of a tune that needs this kind of version, especially given the lyrical content. I know a number of friends who have been fighting sobriety, I'd love to show'em this version.
Kind of like that was wrote about me , man I've lived that life for far too long and hurt way to many people along the way, lost my family and everything I ever had. And I ask myself ," Was it worth it ". And the answer is always the same, " Hell No! "

Night and day. I told him he should call this WEAKER VERSION, just to be ironic, cause this version clearly hits whereas the other made me want to relapse out of spite. I can't remember the word I used to use when I didn't like a song, oh yea, that shit SUCKED. Good thing he doesn't care what people think. I'm probably over exaggerating though. It's just, this was so good, but that, just wasn't for me, fine. I'll leave it at that
I’ve never heard him this stripped down and raw. His voice is really awesome! The lyrics are always genuine, raw and quite thoughtful. He’s got his own genre for sure. How refreshing that he’s not trying to be somebody else.
@@djpixie84 Check out His songs Castles & I wish, Hangman, Hang on, Angels, American Dreamz just to list a few of My favorites Also Tom's spoken Word playlist is one that should Not be missed .th-cam.com/play/PLBBYHfkh_tzb7nPRKCY802SqTprJLa9_n.html

Me too. I hope he can. But this man’s a living example of all of us, with his past tattooed and visible to the world on his body. It’s a beautiful example if you think about it. He couldn’t be in a better place to bridge the gap. There are so many in this position right now who need to change sides FAST. ✝️💜

I've said it once before, but I'll say it again, a true artist is not someone who seeks to stay in a box to stay relevant. A true artist is someone who utilizes their talent to stay out of the box. Thank you, Tom and Nova, for all the great music.
Amen. Can't wait to hear the full version! I've watched you develop from "I ain't Christian" to lyrics like this. Congratulations on your journey, sir. You are an inspiration to millions! May God bless you and yours!
Clean and sober since September the 12th, 2016. It was quite a ride but damn is life great clean I truly, TRULY believed it was impossible for me to ever greet the day again with a 😊 during my addiction. But i could not have been more wrong‼️ My 🙏🙏🙏 to the addict who still suffers 🥲. Keep the faith.
Wow! I hear your voice an its so beautiful to listen too. So talented! Yes it's a hard road to walk down but when you see where you are an where you came from . Little stops now an then but you keep stepping on. !🤔😁🤩🤩👏👏💌🙏🙏🇨🇦🇨🇦👍👍
PLEASE RELEASE THE ENTIRE ACOUSTIC VERSION OF THIS SONG!!! ( And then release a whole album of songs/sounds like this) GREAT JOB!! Standing ovation and well wishes from your home land ❤
I prefer this version to the original, it’s sounds raw and raw always connects so much more, that’s why Rich Men North of Richmond did so well. Any chance we can buy this version? ❤
Sounds great like he always does but that's an electric guitar, not acoustic...& I would absolutely love an acoustic sound behind his voice! This is fantastic but I think would sound even more soulful with an acoustic...he's quite something🎶💙
Yes ma’am! And Nova is showing what a genius she is day by day, hand in hand with Tom. It truly is beautiful and the type of couple that should be exemplified.
There are but you just hear of the manufactured crap made by just a couple of producers. The good stuff isn’t allowed or promoted anymore like back in the day.
OMG please release this version too! Makes me think you need to do some albums like this for most of your songs. I love the more acoustic contemplative sounds❤️
Five years Sober and counting, (would be 8 if I didn't slip on a very bad night, one week after my dad died.) Thank God for the Traditional Latin Mass! ...because if I can't have Jesus inside me... i am nothing. Jesus, Mary and Joseph, I love you; save souls. :) Come Holy Family, heal my family... Come Holy Family; Heal the World!
@@potatoSaladMonkeyCats prayers for your Dad... Was he a Catholic? Mine was not, but I called a Priest to visit my Dad in the hospital ... And in his last hours, Dad accepted an unconditional baptism, and last rites all at once. I was able to put my brown scapular around his neck too. I guess all of my chirping at Dad in my sober years on how much I love the Mass... ❤️ Well ... Praise God he accepted the visit from the Priest! There is still much unrest, I'm not even sure where my dad's ashes are... My very anti Catholic younger sister was named executor and has taken up residence in my dad's house and will not tell me anything... I'm on the opposite end of Canada, too poor and meek to fight about it. She had Dad cremated without any consultation to me.... She even directed the funeral home to hold all information private. It's unbelievable. I do not even know where my Dad's ashes are at this moment, I'm crushed every day about it. It's coming up on a year since he died, March 23... ... the spiritual warfare is real. GOD bless you... And I pray that both of our Dads are resting in eternal peace.
Oh my word Tom, you gotta do some Country songs Mr. Man. You got this 61 yr ol' bird justa swooning. *sigh* w/ a smile. More of this please...thank you kindly.
I an 63 have been following this man for several months and admire him being honest with himself Very rare today Praying for Gods peace to him with all the fruits ❤
❤ your music & voice thank you so much , take care yourself, you are the healer , inspirational. Everything happens for a reason there are divine plan for it.🙏👏👊🌈🍰🥛🥥
Never heard this jam before. I sit here in the bathroom crying hearing this. Lost my girls mom on Valentine’s Day. Lost my dad yesterday. Ur jam made me loose my shit! Beautiful as All get up tho. Keep on rocking it Sir Tom. Love the videos, love the music. Keep ur swagger brother an I’ll keep mine. Meet ya in the middle sometime. God bless you all, love that friends and family because u never know when they won’t be there again. Love you all! Again god bless every one of you.
Oh my, my heart just breaks for you during this time of deep loss. May God send you peace during this time, and always. My prayers are with you, and your family. ❤
@@gailmarie4039 thank you so very very much. It’s kind of beautiful people like you that make this world such a truly truly beautiful place thank you so much and God bless you that means more than you could ever imagine. I appreciate that. Thank you again.
@@muncibedduSicilia Ty so very much, I appreciate ur kind words. I wish everyone had a bit more of the compassion you show. This would be an amazing world. Don’t get me wrong, I try to see the joy in the little things, but seeing it the way it is now, I sure hope we can figure it out as a whole. Seems like the world is turning uglier every day! So again I really appreciate you and the kindness you shared. God bless you my friend, I truly pray and wish nothing but greatness for you as well your friends and family. 🙏
1 of my sons fav he plays regular , very inspirational. he's been there & i have too. Liked the stripped down with guitar too, see a diff version , like them all.
Yup, sums up my life to a tee. Just got to add in that I became a T-12 complete paraplegic 5 years ago and the sauce had a lot to do with it. Just shy of 3 years sober now. One Day at a Time! Thank you Tom for making music like this. You really have no idea how much your music means to people and I really appreciate and adore you for speaking openly about your addictions, hard times and how you've found the strength to pick yourself up from that bottom and make something out of it all. You truly are an inspiration to millions of people. Heres to the next 24hrs. If anyone is reading this, please know that you ARE NOT ALONE!. People do care about you, you can turn the page and reset your life. You have to be honest with yourself first and get sober for YOURSELF before anyone else. 🇨🇦
Absolutely!! Thank you for sharing your story as well. Tom does have a very special way with words. Through his therapy writing and singing his lyrics, he's able to connect with each of us and it's completely relatable to us. As of he were there with us. I guess we are/were all there. We just felt alone... But we never truly were. So many people are going through the exact feelings and troubles we are. We are supposed to be social creatures, sitting alone on screens isn't what we were made to do. So I challenge everyone to reach out and talk about your problems. Whether that's friends/family/stranger/group meetings/Drs/chat rooms, anywhere!! Don't be too hard on yourself. Never give up! We are all in this mess together. God is good and HE is always with us. There is beauty all around us, try to start finding it once or twice a day, until you begin noticing it without trying. 🦋🌌🏞️🌅🏔️🌼🍃🌻☄️🐕🐈🌘🌧️❄️🍀🌫️ Have a wonderful day! Best wishes to you! I'm so thankful for Tom and Nova for inspiring people and truly connecting with us. The truth resonates with people. With that you can never go wrong. 💞
These comments are so heartfelt and truthful. Thank all the people who loves Tom's songs, especially this version of this song. Music is the soul talking in ways most of us cannot express. Thank the Lord for beautiful music. It has helped a lot most of us in times of happiness, joy and very rough hard times. Cannot imagine how some places in the world that do not allow music even sing to their babies. I always sang to my children and grandchildren to sleep. I would not have missed those moments for anything. Play Tom's music and all music that touches your heart and soul.❤
You truly are full of surprises. You're exactly what we need now. So raw, so real. I'll just let this song loop around a while. My night just got a whole lot better hearing you sing. Thanks for being you.
I SO APPRECIATE THIS ❤ My son and I are battling alcoholism right now. He loves you! He struggles with believing in God. He fought in Iraq and was Honorably discharged with a Purple 💜. God Bless you Sir for inspiration through music. My cousin's are with the Kentucky HeadHunters. Music speaks volumes! ❤😘
My first memories were living in a woman's shelter.. grew up to be an addict and suffered DV for over a decade.. was diagnosed with stage 4 blood cancer.. i left. I am now living a beautiful life clean and in remission with my beautiful children thanking God every single day
This is raw brother. Keep your relationship with Jesus Christ and he will guide you through life. He IS life. Keep up your fight against evil bro. Thank you 🙏🏼 much love ❤️
What make you think its going to help you? It wouldnt even help its own child.i guess if you consider flooding the planet , it might help. Or maybe the way it plagued the Egyptians with diseases that still plague the world still, today
Technically it gave you this disease. Just like the Egyptians. Exodus 15:26 "He said, 'If you listen carefully to the Lord your God and do what is right in his eyes, if you pay attention to his commands and keep all his decrees, I will not bring on you any of the diseases I brought on the Egyptians, for I am the Lord, who heals you. '”
Just another older fan of yours wanting to say: Nice job Tom, love this side of your talents. Much respect too. Keep it going bro, the world needs you.
19 years sober and I feel so blessed. I think I would’ve been dead already had I not have quit drinking? I have never felt so much freedom and I now have a life I would’ve never had. Had I continue drinking. ❤🙏 I love your voice and the way you’re singing this is very spiritual; it has brought me joy.
When Tom starts to speak rap, or sing the words that come out of his mouth touch people's hearts and say things that they might be afraid of saying but TOM MACDONALD YOUR AN INSPIRATIONAL MAN N I ABSOFUCKINLUTELY ADMIRE YOUR COURAGE AND THE STRENGTH YOU CARRY AND PASS ON TO OTHERS THRU YOUR MUSIC 🎶 💪💯🇺🇲
This is as close to perfect as I've ever seen. You've made me cry and hate the man i was, but love the man i can be. I find a challenge to be an exciting adventure. I am sober today. I am sober this morning. I did fucking not buy a bottle of vodka. I owe a piece of that to you and your voice. Mr. Tom, thank you for your sobriety. You getting sober helped me and i hope that there is a God. I would like to tell him thank you for a number of things. Your music, your pollotical views, your delightful woman, and your inspiration are among my thanks. I am sure that you have been flooded with such compliments, but I really am a better man because of your accomplishments.
I love this dude. Ridiculously talented and always speaking on what no one says and everyone needs to hear.. GOD bless with u Tom Mcdonald and Fam. Much Love
TOM'S GOT SUCH A BEAUTIFUL VOICE & HE'S SO TALENTED!!! TOM'S WHAT I CALL AN ARTIST & ENTERTAINER!!! WHAT I LIVE IS TOM WRITES HIS OWN SONGS & THERE ALL GREAT 👍 👌 👏!!!
Love this ❤ You’re a multi talented, full range artist. 💫🔥 Keep the music coming. Keep the Nova collabs coming. Keep the truth coming! And keep those hilarious skits coming. ✌🏼🫶🏼 🙌🏼
Tom... your cool factor is off the charts. When you play guitar, it reminds me of sitting around a campfire talking and listening to friends playing guitars-sing a long.
I'm crying that just hit me this morning. Hope everyone knows that they are loved . Reach your hand out and grab the hand that has been waiting for you ❤
Sober since 12/28/2023 and I don't miss it. Love your voice Tom.
Day after my 30th birthday. Congratulations on nearly 6 months sober!
Hopefully you see this the day after you hit your 6 month of sobriety. Just remember to take it 1 day at a time.
I have been sober for 61 years because I know a bad choice when I see it. My brother got started at the age of 7 and still going but not strong 💪 any more. Weak and he seems to be not there anymore. I cry because I did my best to be an example to him but can't make a horse 🐴 drink after leading him to the water. ❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤

Thank you brother. Your music has kept people like from realizing I wasn't crazy for not bowing to woke nonsense ❤
That's the truth.
Yeah, why bother with woke nonsense when you can have undeluted nonsense.
I would love to hear the whole song done this way. ❤ it!
More proof of Tom being talented, he raps, sings and plays guitar. Very unique.
Tom, thank you for your music. It's helped my children and I since their mother passed away. Thank you.
Love this rendition as well, please release the whole song this way! God bless you Tom!
This version is so good, instant add to play list. I dont like the other version enough to add it but this 10000%
Yes!!! Please release this version of the whole song- it SPEAKS.❤
@@JulieDavis-d9u I know he has to do it
I wasn't expecting this style from you, thank you.
Peace, and be you.
Mind blown!! Love this guy, One of the MOST talented, creative musician/ singer songwriter I’ve ever heard!
What he does Never fails!!!
❤❤❤❤❤❤👏👏👏👏👏
Wow. His canadian side came all the way out in some of the anunciations. Well done Tom. This is beautiful❤
This guy is helping so many people get over their addictions ❤❤❤
That's how it's done. Simple just you and that guitar. You've got a really good voice Tom. Let it shine for you.
Yup, sums up my life to a tee. Just got to add in that I became a T-12 complete paraplegic 5 years ago and the sauce had a lot to do with it. Just shy of 3 years sober now. One Day at a Time! Thank you Tom for making music like this. You really have no idea how much your music means to people and I really appreciate and adore you for speaking openly about your addictions, hard times and how you've found the strength to pick yourself up from that bottom and make something out of it all. You truly are an inspiration to millions of people. Heres to the next 24hrs. If anyone is reading this, please know that you ARE NOT ALONE!. People do care about you, you can turn the page and reset your life. You have to be honest with yourself first and get sober for YOURSELF before anyone else. 🇨🇦
Absolutely!! Thank you for sharing your story as well. Tom does have a very special way with words. Through his therapy writing and singing his lyrics, he's able to connect with each of us and it's completely relatable to us. As of he were there with us. I guess we are/were all there. We just felt alone... But we never truly were. So many people are going through the exact feelings and troubles we are. We are supposed to be social creatures, sitting alone on screens isn't what we were made to do.
So I challenge everyone to reach out and talk about your problems. Whether that's friends/family/stranger/group meetings/Drs/chat rooms, anywhere!! Don't be too hard on yourself. Never give up! We are all in this mess together.
God is good and HE is always with us. There is beauty all around us, try to start finding it once or twice a day, until you begin noticing it without trying. 🦋🌌🏞️🌅🏔️🌼🍃🌻☄️🐕🐈🌘🌧️❄️🍀🌫️
Have a wonderful day! Best wishes to you! I'm so thankful for Tom and Nova for inspiring people and truly connecting with us. The truth resonates with people. With that you can never go wrong. 💞
THANKYOU PHANTOM 🙏❤🌠🧚🫂🇺🇸👑🍄
Love Tom MacDonald & Nova. They help me so much with their music. Be blessed always. ❤️🙏
These comments are so heartfelt and truthful. Thank all the people who loves Tom's songs, especially this version of this song. Music is the soul talking in ways most of us cannot express. Thank the Lord for beautiful music. It has helped a lot most of us in times of happiness, joy and very rough hard times. Cannot imagine how some places in the world that do not allow music even sing to their babies. I always sang to my children and grandchildren to sleep. I would not have missed those moments for anything. Play Tom's music and all music that touches your heart and soul.❤
I wish I could hear the whole song like this!!
Goodness of God Thomas you're an angel. Beauty FULL
Wonderful ,talented young man. God bless you..from a 70 yr old in Ireland..❤️❤️❤️

20 days sober and pray for help from the Alpha and Omega the one true GOD in Jesus Christ name. So be it
❤
You can do it, man. I'll be 8 years sober in July.
What make you think its going to help you? It wouldnt even help its own child.i guess if you consider flooding the planet , it might help. Or maybe the way it plagued the Egyptians with diseases that still plague the world still, today
Technically it gave you this disease. Just like the Egyptians.
Exodus 15:26
"He said, 'If you listen carefully to the Lord your God and do what is right in his eyes, if you pay attention to his commands and keep all his decrees, I will not bring on you any of the diseases I brought on the Egyptians, for I am the Lord, who heals you. '”
Donnie, ….i just prayed for you! May Jesus give you strength!
Press on!
Finish the race!
Need the full song. Talented my dude. This is a great song. Independent hell yeah!!!!
Please Tommy release this whole song....sounds great!! And we've ALL been struggling... Julie in Canada 🍁 😍
Just another older fan of yours wanting to say: Nice job Tom, love this side of your talents. Much respect too. Keep it going bro, the world needs you.
19 years sober and I feel so blessed. I think I would’ve been dead already had I not have quit drinking? I have never felt so much freedom and I now have a life I would’ve never had. Had I continue drinking. ❤🙏
I love your voice and the way you’re singing this is very spiritual; it has brought me joy.
Wow, those lyrics are so deep. Love it.
I recently found you on YT shorts, and you have become one of my favorite artists❤️ Love this song! God bless
When Tom starts to speak rap, or sing the words that come out of his mouth touch people's hearts and say things that they might be afraid of saying but TOM MACDONALD YOUR AN INSPIRATIONAL MAN N I ABSOFUCKINLUTELY ADMIRE YOUR COURAGE AND THE STRENGTH YOU CARRY AND PASS ON TO OTHERS THRU YOUR MUSIC 🎶 💪💯🇺🇲

You’ve been deceived
This is as close to perfect as I've ever seen.
You've made me cry and hate the man i was, but love the man i can be.
I find a challenge to be an exciting adventure.
I am sober today. I am sober this morning. I did fucking not buy a bottle of vodka. I owe a piece of that to you and your voice.
Mr. Tom, thank you for your sobriety. You getting sober helped me and i hope that there is a God. I would like to tell him thank you for a number of things. Your music, your pollotical views, your delightful woman, and your inspiration are among my thanks.
I am sure that you have been flooded with such compliments, but I really am a better man because of your accomplishments.
We out here in web land are proud of you, man. Please keep getting through each day. We're rooting for you...
I love this dude. Ridiculously talented and always speaking on what no one says and everyone needs to hear.. GOD bless with u Tom Mcdonald and Fam. Much Love

Tom... your cool factor is off the charts. When you play guitar, it reminds me of sitting around a campfire talking and listening to friends playing guitars-sing a long.
I'm crying that just hit me this morning. Hope everyone knows that they are loved . Reach your hand out and grab the hand that has been waiting for you ❤
What else is there to stand on, dear sister, other than the promises of God?❤ 💐
