      Hey guys! Great reaction! If you have not yet heard Nova's song called Gang Gang ft. Tom you really should. Nova is adorable, it's a very catchy song and you get to see Tom's other side. They also play some of their home videos during the video and some after the song is over. Cheers!

Tom was afraid she would push her self to much ..but she Never let's us down so much respect to Nova. Some of Tom's fans hated this video they thought he was arrogant.

His transparency, artistry and love of his fans is amazing and I can't think of anyone else who can equal what he's doing. I also love that in these troubled times, he is trying to unite everybody and remind us that we have more in common than we might think, I just hope more people get that message.

    Since no one else has addressed the line “as long as I am rising till I’m upside down I won’t look down” … he’s talking about gravity - once you rise above a certain altitude, gravity can no longer keep you upright and outer space takes over where your body twists & turns causing you to be upside down. He’s referring to the metaphorical height he is reaching in his career.

    I only discovered Tom last year and loved him because he speaks facts. I discovered you guys a few weeks ago for reviewing his 'Snowflake' song (I also like Blaire White too), but I subscribed to you two because you deal in facts and I would say you're both very honest, open, thoughtful guys, to debate and opinions.
    Love it!

    At 10:00 mark you noticed Tom repeated until he is upside down he wont look down...in slang..to be upside down can mean down in the dirt..dead, essentially... but I follow the visual he creates and this is how I take it...he only looks.up...in the direction he is going...he would literally have to be hanging upside down to be looking down...hope you get what im.trying to say here...he will.not bend his neck...he is committed to where ever "up" leads...and the Peter walking across the water and not looking down...now, the water reference makes sense to me..it didn't before...fir real, I recently had a vision of being in a stomy ocean...standing on the surface..the waves to the left were so intimidating and I heard a voice behind me as a gentle nudge redirected th direction I was facing...the voice said "just dont look at the waves." That message matches this video's vibe 100%

    Thanks guys... what Tom really does is poetry. He isn't a great singer. He doesn't have a great voice. But what he does give is great lyrics with layers of meaning. What he does give is clear enunciation, cadence changes and witty punchlines. What he does give is charismatic performances. And he has an amazing director in Nova. I hope they stay together as a team.
    I too was not a fan of rap until Tom. I have spread out a bit to listen to other rappers, but I have found nobody that does what Tom does as well as Tom does it.
    I want to put in a good word for Brian if it's ok #BrianIsOccasionallyRight.

    • @CedricandBrian

      That was well said James, and you hit every one of those points squarely on the head. Tom is extremely unique, as an artist, and he and Nova are the ideal definition of a “power couple.“
