I think the "you're perfect just the way that you are" is speaking to the part of us that beats ourselves up over things we can't change or control, the part of us that doesn't like how we look, or that is just ready to give up on life, etc.
I think this song if for the people that constantly beat themselves, have a very low self esteem and those things takes them to a destructive path (alcoholism, drugs , etc). Sometimes you are your worst enemy.
Tom is saying you have to change for yourself not for somebody else! Because I know from my own experience that the more somebody told me what to do the more I resisted I had to do it for myself and I think that's why I stuck to it and didn't relapse 🙏🤫😎 HOG FAMILY 4 LIFE 🥰😎
This one hit me hard in how I related it to my alcoholism and meth addiction. From an early age, I never felt like I belonged anywhere. I wasn't athletic enough to hang with jocks, I wasn't smart enough to hang with the nerds, I wasnt talented enough to excel in band, and I wasn't pretty enough to hang out with the cheerleaders I was never ENOUGH! It was easy to fit in with the stoners. All I had to do was light a cigarette and look cool. Drugs and alcohol took me to the kind of homeless where I was bathing in rivers and dumpster diving in campgrounds for bottles and cans. I had to hit my bottom and be desperate enough to get help for me and no one else. Seemingly broken beyond repair. I've now been clean and sober for almost 29 years. This song reminds me of how worthless I felt. If there are others out there who experienced that same feeling.... this is the song that says, "You are ENOUGH and you are a FIGHTER! It's an encouragement that so many of us need!! Sorry to be so long-winded, but I felt like you took it in a different direction than so many of the HOG family members do. This is HOPE and STRENGTH!❤❤❤❤❤❤
@@notanormi Nicely explained!🙏⚔🕊 I also found 🎯 the point of the sugarcoating vs. telling the truth in someone's best interest, like really wishing the best for some person' s outcome. Sometimes it remains so little space to express an opinion you have that you believe it may help, that it becomes kind of a bravery to even mention the truth you believe in... It's good to have that space, create that space, wish for the best...
@emanuelamihalache258 I agree 100%! I hit my bottom after many people I loved had had enough of my BS. My best friend told me over the phone to call her when I get my sh*t together, my mom and step dad had taken custody of my 2 yr old son, my dad and brothers stop taking my calls, etc. There were a LOT of hard truths being spoken, but I just wasn't ready. It's an insanity that can't be explained. I'm just so grateful I became desperate enough to surrender, and I've never relapsed. I really hope songs like this one reach the hearts of the hopeless and gives them the encouragement to face the unknown. 🙏🏻🙏🏻
It seems like these kind of songs do reach their target, as many here testify so! "Castles", "Cancer", "Stronger version", ... seem to be part of such an encouragement line. I think he could only point other's people eyes up when he himself surrendered his vision to the only good will above -> as he acknowledges in this song. It is good to rest our eyes there, on the only unending source of hope! But is the date on the end scene of the video a moment of some car accident he survived, or something similar? 👋🕊🙏
He was being sarcastic about the instagram post. He talked about at some point - but it was like, people think an instagram meme is gonna solve someone's depression.
I believe, Jesus died for our sins and his miracles, I have seen them and experienced them ever since I became a "born again" (KJV Bible John chapter 3) This is when the Holy Spirit comes in, just like Mary and Jesus (it was the Holy Spirit that entered Mary, Jesus is the Holy Spirit) we have to ask Jesus to come into our temple and ask for forgiveness of the sins you carry. When this happens you start seeing and hearing the words in the Bible, because the Bible feeds your Spirit, that's how your Baby Spirit grows...This church where I was born in, was nothing like the churches I've ever been in. IT IS THE BIGGEST LIFE CHANGE YOU'LL EVER EXPERIENCE...🙏📖🙏🧎♂️🙏🧎♀️ Love ya brother HOG ARMY FAMILY 😊
I agree with you. It’s super important to be honest with people and honest with ourselves. I always tell people what I see good and bad. And I tell myself when I know I’m doing the wrong thing.
Justin I think the term you're looking for is brutal honesty. It's my favorite kind. The truth hurts sometimes. But lying even by omission to avoid discomfort isn't something a true friend would do
I have to say that I use posts from Insta on a near daily basis to get me through And it seems that whatever I’m feeling these days there’s a post that comes through as if it’s meant for me In fact I had come close to walking way from my relationship because it had gotten too hard and I tuned in one morning this week and Tom had posted a little snippet of him singing his new sing Pain in my A*s and suddenly it gave me hope to stay and fight The line “She’s not walking out on me”
This song made my best friend cry because it was so impactful for her. I accepted myself 30 years ago so it hit me a bit different. I take it as inspirational because I'm a fighter. I've been fighting severe scoliosis since I was 12 as it git worse and worse over the years. I'm in disability and sone days it's a struggle to keep fighting to live a somewhat normal life like I used to.
I think you missed the meaning behind the song. For me it was never being enough. I’m an old lady now and have come to the conclusion that I am good enough to do what I love.
Brain food for thought: Being perfect can simply mean walking toward light. "Be ye therefore perfect, even as your Father which is in heaven is perfect" Matthew 5:48 Humans can not be perfect yet we are commanded to be. In Christ all things are perfect. Being perfect doesn't mean be stagnant, it evokes striving to be all you can be. Love your thought moments ♥
About saying you're perfect as you are, I think it's more about potentiality over actuality. Obviously there's a lot of crappy ppl out there, but they are at dark parts of their journey in life. You could meet them 5 years later and find them changed people. This is why I don't hate on anyone, because I don't know where they are on that path.
The internet is full of Toxic people. Tom’s true fans know that he spits and sings at the top of his voice and the bottom of his heart about freedom of speech and expression. Especially on the internet. You can still be a fan of Tom and Nova and not like or agree with every single verse or song. It is your freedom to like or dislike whatever you choose. Nobody can tell you how to feel about anything. Tom doesn’t have a problem with his fans that don’t agree with or like every verse or song as long as they don’t express it in a disrespectful or hateful way. Case in point, Tom is still a fan and looks up to Eminem even though they don’t have the same political beliefs. Toms true HOG FAM know this and respect it. So don’t sweat the haters. They may think they are being loyal to Tom in their heads but in all honesty they ate part of the problem. They are doing the very thing that Tom stands against. Even though they don’t see it because in their minds Tom can do no wrong. Nobody is 100% perfect. Not even Tom Macdonald (gasp). Like I said before… I’m not a fan of the Auto Tune they used for Nova on the song Bad News. That is my opinion and I stand by it. That doesn’t mean I’m not still a fan of Tom or Nova in any way. So the haters can deal with that. 🤷🏼♀️ One of my all time favorite Tom Macdonald songs. #HOG

He's talking about getting right in your head and accepting yourself as God made you. Then you can strive to be better. Think fighting depression and self doubt.
I know what you mean about social media but take Tubby Nugget for example. Every time i see one of those silly liitle shorts i walk away feeling good. We need stuff like that to combat the negativity.
You know why Tom said you are perfect the way they are I am overly honest as well and that hit a little nerve in me and Tom isn't lying to anyone he is pointing that we are all perfect in our own way also a lot of people have had come to Jesus moments listening to Tom that is why if you actually had learned his whole story through his live streams and his music you would understand why some of us get upset when others politely knock what Tom is saying I know we all have a right to our own opinions and we can agree to disagree you live your life one way and we live ours differently it's funny though because you said you and Tom are soul sisters😂😂😂😂 not likely with that train of thought again all love here and you can think what you like just wanted to point out a few things that irked my nerves I guess we all are different and see life through different eyes and understanding
This went instantly into my top 10 when it came out. Tom showing his versatility.

I think the "you're perfect just the way that you are" is speaking to the part of us that beats ourselves up over things we can't change or control, the part of us that doesn't like how we look, or that is just ready to give up on life, etc.
Some of us were broken and abused coming up. We were trained to know that we are defective. He is speaking to that, not to our imperfect choices.
Yay!!! 🎉🎉🎉. This is my FAVORITE Tom song!!!! You finally made it to it. 💗💗💗. This song continues to ALWAYS get me through the dark times.
I think this song if for the people that constantly beat themselves, have a very low self esteem and those things takes them to a destructive path (alcoholism, drugs , etc).
Sometimes you are your worst enemy.
This song pulled me out of a deep mental breakdown. I found God from this song as well.
Wow , that's awesome!!!
Praise Jesus 🎉
AMAZING

Yes it was when Tom joined flawds live reaction to this song
I always took that line as like "cute post.....now watch how I motivate people." It sounds like I wasn't that far off 😊
I think he's talking about accepting how God made you, not saying that you can't improve yourself
We were made perfect by his hand. It’s on us to strive to live his way. Sadly we all fall short.
No matter your past, you are worthy of being saved and loved.
This is a feel-good song to me. Inspirational when you listen and you're feeling down. ❤#HOG ❤
I was in a bad place when i first heard this song. It kept me going. Not in a bad place anymore, not a good one, but one step at a time.
I'm glad it had a good impact

❤#HOG. ❤ This one. Recently diagnosed with cancer I am absolutely fighting. ❤🙏💜👊🔥👍
Prayers to you!! ❤ you got this!! 🪓
I'm sorry about that but FIGHT!!!! You're in my prayers
I agree with you. It’s super important to be honest with people and honest with ourselves. I always tell people what I see good and bad. And I tell myself when I know I’m doing the wrong thing.
I took it as the battle makes you “perfect”, not that there isn’t always room for improvement. Great reaction as always 🪓🪓🪓
My absolute #1 Tom song ❤
Justin I think the term you're looking for is brutal honesty. It's my favorite kind. The truth hurts sometimes. But lying even by omission to avoid discomfort isn't something a true friend would do
100%
Definitely one of my favourites
This song is the ringtone on my phone. Keeps me pushing on..
Respect the honest breakdown. You are true HOG
Perfect in His sight.
Every time I think about having a drink I listen to this song! Going on 13 years sober ❤
❤❤I enjoy your rants! It shows you care❤❤#HOG
Mr Rogers used to teach us we are perfect as we are.
I love this one ❤
I’ve been waiting for this one ❤
I'm a fighter!!
8:26 💯Totally Agree ❣️There’s No Lies in Love and Truth is Love 💕
The meme reference was sarcasm
I have to say that I use posts from Insta on a near daily basis to get me through
And it seems that whatever I’m feeling these days there’s a post that comes through as if it’s meant for me
In fact
I had come close to walking way from my relationship because it had gotten too hard and I tuned in one morning this week and Tom had posted a little snippet of him singing his new sing Pain in my A*s and suddenly it gave me hope to stay and fight
The line
“She’s not walking out on me”

You missed Tom's classic dance move. I thought for sure you'd catch it and say something lol
Damn lol
❤
there are toxic people everywhere f'em. much luv! this is one of my favs on yt. hog4life!
The comment about an Instagram post is tongue in cheek.
I think you missed the meaning behind the song. For me it was never being enough. I’m an old lady now and have come to the conclusion that I am good enough to do what I love.

Yep lost many that way as well, it sure does hurt
