Tom, I'm 33 years old and have never really been a music person. Friday night I was watching videos on youtube on my TV and a got a mid video ad that popped up.....it was THIS video. Usually I skip through the ads or video features that pop up but I managed to sit for an entire 3 minutes captivated by what I was watching. The next 3 hours I spent binge watching your work. I have no idea how I have not heard of you before......you are amazing.
same here...50 years old fart on binge watching tom
47 and I did the same when I first discovered him.
Welcome to the Tom rabbit hole
you are delusional
Such an amazing artist
I lost my little brother to drugs... today is his birthday man and this song will play in honor for him!! Thank you for being the voices for so many and truly changing the world with a pen!!
im so sorry for your loss. sending you my thoughts and prayers.
RIP little bro, lm sorry u went thro that

I’m so sorry I know it feels I lost everything but I’m free and now trying to be a good role model for my son. I’ll keep you in my prayers tonight when I pray to Jesus and the Holy Ghost. 🙏
I am sorry for your loss I lost my older brother to addiction.
I lost my friend to addiction on Saint Patrick's day at 30
Lost another friend to addiction a yr after he graduated
Lost another friend a little after his mom died
Coming from someone who’s about to hit 7 years sober, this is incredible. Good job.
Edit to add: Wow. The support is incredible. Thank you all so much for the love. It means more than I can even say. And, to answer the most frequently asked question, my sober birthday is September 20! I worked my ass off to get where I am and am proud of that. To those out there still struggling: keep fighting. It’s worth every tear, I promise.
🙏
Beyond proud of you. I’ll be there one day
Congratulations
❤😘
Congrats sam🙏🖤
A rapper actually trying to help people. ❤ when you find Tom, you love Tom. ❤
Actually cried watching this, recovery feels like drowning and not being able to see your reflection clearly, like you're just a broken mess. This hit hard at home Tom, keep it coming, thanks for reminding me I'm not alone in this.
th-cam.com/video/O3RgjhNeso8/w-d-xo.html
Every video of his makes me realize I'm not alone in this fight I have to survive thank you again for helping me make it one more day
18 years addicted too meth and opiates, 4 hospital stays, 3 times in psych ward and I now have almost 5 years of sobriety. It made me cry also bro, much love and hang in there it gets better. ❤❤
I've been clean for years and this brought tears to my eyes.... life's just hurtful. I'm a Christian today. That was a bright light once I bent my knees. Had hope. Hope wasn't there before.

“Deleting all the numbers from your phone”is one of the hardest things to do. You have to fully let go of your past to be able to start a new beginning.
Love the new song!!
“Waking up to who you are requires letting go of who you imagine yourself to be...”
-Alan Watts 🖤🖤🖤
Truth.
I did this when I was 18 and changed my number to get away from a bad group of friends. It was hella hard, but helped.
I’ve been there…. The shitty part, is when you realize they still have your number, and don’t even try to call. That’s when you know.
Fucking FACTS.
My Son was an addict. This cuts straight to the bone. All my fears. He’s clean, married, has a daughter, steady job…we’re blessed. So are you! Thank you!!
Same here Jema.. Very blessed
Being a proud parent hits in many different ways doesn't it... they did it bc they have amazing people like you in their lives to support that hardship 😃
Same here.
Same here
Congrats to your son. He deserves all of the happiness in the world. He's seen hell and walked out of it!
I just discovered Tom Macdonald. Im 50 been clean 6 months on 2/16/24. I Thank God for Tom Macdonald. I had my first real craving today. When i thought about throwing those 180 days away. I thought of "Best Rapper Ever." It's amazing how a guy so young can be so "Wise Beyond his Years." Thank you again
As we confront the triggers clean, we become stronger.
Hope ur free?
I Truely Hope that you're Doing Well and continue to Stay Strong with the Fight.👍
As a man in a life of recovery, it never ends, but we fight, and claim strength from God to never look down.. Never. Look. Down. Our chins are held high, tears may fall, but our chins remain high.
Well said!
Thank you. I needed that. Powerful. Tears may fall but chin up!!
Addiction is gradual until it’s sudden! Several attempts later, and coming up on 14 years sober. If I can you can, one second at a time becomes one minute become a day become a week a month a year but the fight is always right now! I know my tigers are in the tall grass following along and staying low to the ground. Every second I watch and defend my ground as if my life depends on it, because it does! God bless all those in the fight, the weapons to defend come from our father in heaven. If you doubt this, how have your weapons worked so far? Just saying I’ve learned what works and God knows I’ve tried what doesn’t. If he created you, surely he can defend you. You have only to ask him.
All of us that are addicts will be addicts our entire lives. Once we forgive ourselves for that, and acknowledge it, we can really stay sober imo.
@Sub if you are against Antifa and BLM haha that was too much.. glad you're staying strong though
As an addict in recovery this song hits so close to home. Every word he spoke I went through. Tom thank you so damn much for giving us a voice and making everyone aware of the struggles of being an addict. I'll have 30 months on the 25th this month!!!
I'm so proud of you! Keep up the good fight!
I've got 7 years sober. Keep it up brother. Battle those demons, recovery is possible 🙏🏼
Full support
Congratulations my brother in recovery it’s a hell of a fight September 18th will be 9 years for me keep up the fight my brother
Amazing! Keep at it. You have got this! God bless you.
Cried throughout this. I lost a good friend to alcoholism, he died in pain. We all have our addictions, some worse than others.. Everyone can relate to this song, either by experience or vicariously through a loved one. Rise up.
Agreed. 😖
He has a few songs that beat me up inside this one hit hard. Struggling with a "functional alcoholic" addiction for 19 years now. Seems I quit for a few days and soon as I buy a bottle and drink the next song on my play list is sober. Crazy. I made it 14 days and just replasped yesterday I hope I can start over again today 😭
I've been clean approaching 21 years. Everyday when I wake up I thank the Lord for his gift of life... And for the Angels he sent to me in the form of my wife and child. I've buried more friends and peers in 21 years than I'd ever imagined possible.... I feel for them as they never found the reason(s) to hang it up. If not for my wife and child, I know I'd be right there with them. They were, and still remain the sole reason and source of strength I needed to get clean. I was always told that idle hands were the devil's playground. What a true statement.
Tom is a genre-defying artist. He’s in a league of his own.
I have fewer than 1 friend in the World. That's right. Everybody disses me for making bad videos. I think they are perfect though. Who is right? My dissers or me? Which side are you on, dear si
This song makes me think “what if”
What if Tom wasn’t as strong as he is. We would never have known him and his music/art. I am so thankful he is with us everyday. Love to Tom and all of the #HOG FAM4life❤️ …and for all of their lives still lived.
Hard to have a genre when he hits all if them
He sure is
Umm.. you mean his Disney-sing-along choruses coupled with some rap... soo dynamic.. 😂
So raw, so real. To everyone struggling just know their is life on the other side of addiction! I am 13 years clean and if I can do it, anyone can! ❤
Amen to that Misty!! Clean 23 yrs!
Congratulations Misty 😊
Im 3 and half weeks clean . I pray 🙏 I get there
Congratulations misty!!
@@timothy2935 one day at a time, you are not alone and have a whole army behind you!💕
HOG 4EVER ❤️
The genius about tom's work is that he scratches at wounds almost everyone has, in one version or another.
th-cam.com/video/O3RgjhNeso8/w-d-xo.html
Just like Em was the one who told it like it was, here is Tom doing the same. Every generation needs this. You snowflakes have Tom now. Listen carefully, because you're the reason, and the ones who can change it. Stop with the hate and the cancel culture and the me me me bullshit, and focus on the real problem. We are losing our country to people who have no business being here, that should be priority NO. 1
@@thishandleisnotavailable get off the internet gramps
listen to Ryan upchurch - Nutshell. Now that’s a solid song about addiction the realest! You won’t regret. And the original one of the greatest songs of all time no doubt check it out for yourself!!!!
@@steadytime dont bring country into this....
2 years sober on 11/13. I listened to your music so much when I first got sober. You helped me stayed sober! Having this music to listen to really helped me cope with all the crazy emotions I was experiencing. THANK YOU ❤
Most of Tom's Videos are done with minimal shots, minimal budgets, minimal effects, ALL MUSIC. and week after week he still hits. We are watching history
We sure are
👌
We are part of it! I stand with Tom!
I agree with all, except that his videos are made with minimal effects... "Best Rapper Ever" "No Lives Matter" & "Cancelled" ...just to name a few, have awesome effects.
I saw a comment from Nova, many months ago, saying that they were going to quit putting so much work into the making of their videos.
I wish that they'd go back to making really visually captivating videos, again, at least once on awhile...like "Buttholes" because @NovaRockafeller is a master at that.
Her videos add SO MUCH to the music...the colors & effects make it so I'm fully drawn in & have to watch them over & over.
I have never seen videos as good as hers from any big label.
They both have amazing futures ahead of them!
It's because his girlfriend shoots it
From an addict who has been through countless nights without sleep, and too many days spent in hell.. thank you Tom for reminding us that we are not alone, and giving this family another reason to stick together.
Amen brother his word hit home
Been there, done that, pray to God that I get another day clean. Been 37 years so far. I thank God he puts people like Tom out there to continue to inspire us and give us hope!
As a recovering addict, this song is definitely staying close to me. When he said he tried to call his friends, but none are answering, that hit the most. Stay strong, Tom
the tattooed names usually represent someone who died . i wonder if that's the case in this video
Yes our so-called friends only want to know us when we are parting...bad times they could not care abit ....sad but true.
"I just sit in the bathtub and try to breath." for me.
Hello. I'm sorry for the comment. I am a student and I make some vids to help you have a good time and distract you a little from day to day, also with the hope that this helping me a little to pay for my studies.
I would really appreciate it if you spend a couple of minutes seeing and enjoying my work.
Thanks for your time good people.
Hello #johnnyx100
21 of Feb this year I will be 5 years sober. No song has ever, EVER, reached my heart like this. Man, you just get it. That is all I can say. You just get it.
Congratulations on your Sobriety !!! It's never easy, but it's worth it . See, nothing worth it is ever easy, but the Sobriety IS WORTH IT.
@@chrisrojice7475 Thanks buddy :) It turns out it is quite easy when you have a reason. At least in my experience.
Life is so much more better when you can see and understand how beautiful it is when you not numbing your Self from feeling and Living it. Stay Strong and Living your Life to the Full.👍
Congratulations and God bless you! Keep doing it one day at a time.
This song will save another life.
Tom will never know how many people he’s rescued with his music.
@Sub if you are against Antifa and BLM Dump that shit homie. You don't need it. Stay strong. We got your back.
@Sub if you are against Antifa and BLM stay strong brother. Proud of you.
It saved me
@Sub if you are against Antifa and BLM its worth it, flush it now and you'll build on your strength. Your tomorrow self will thank your today self.
@Sub if you are against Antifa and BLM stay strong my friend. I ran into that same scenario once. Flush the opiates right away and ifnyou need something stronger than ibuprofen head to a pharmacist and ask them to prescribe you behind the counter grade naproxens
“Trying to stay clean, I just need a reason.” She’s living with you and fighting with you every day, bro. Keep at it!
The greatest attribute about Tom is honesty. Life is so hard, as a parent and pastor I raise a son with addiction. Almost lost him twice. He turned to me yesterday and said. "Dad, I wont look down". Love you Tom, you will never know the impact you are having. Praying for you and Nova daily.
You have a heart of gold sir. I'm a recovering addict, and i will pray for your son💚 God bless yall
@@rebekahlikesmusic2723 Thank you and God bless Rebekah
well thanks for making me tear up. Lol you sound like an amazing father. my mother was thankfully always there for me through my addiction and recovery too
May God bless you all.
I lift you all up in Prayer & Grace❤️🙏
@@karene9402 thank you so very much. I needed this today. I'm a recovering heroin addict and nearly relapsed today. So I've had a very stress filled, emotional day. I truly feel God works through people. Idk why, but just seeing this comment made me feel a sense of peace and comfort. I know i can do all things through Christ who strengthens me! Thank you for the lovely comment, my friend. My God bless you and yours
Love it, Tom & Nova!!!! Breaking aĺ the records! Thank you for all of your patriotism for America! We love you too! Can't wait for the wedding!!!
Being a light to those in the dark is more important than being number 1. You have no idea how important this song was to me yesterday when I almost threw away over 300 days of sobriety. You are making an important impact in this world. Please know you helped me stay strong 💖 thank you so much
Stay strong...You've got this 🙏
❤️ Hugs
Stay strong! You've got people who don't know you, like me, rooting for you! Stay strong! 💪🙏
Wishes for strength for you from France Megan!
So happy you didn't relapse! Hope you see how strong you are. 💪 Greetings from Finland. 🇫🇮
I've battled addiction most of my life, being clean for the last 14 years my life has transformed into something completely different. I felt this video more than most at my core. Thanks for that.
Congrats, I’m right behind you at 13 years. I’ve worked hard to bring myself back. Got a good job beautiful wife that has battled it with me, 20 years married, and 4 amazing kids!! Life is good and I’ll never go back!!
@@casenix I'm really happy that you're living a great life, there's no need for us to ever look back at those times. It's all about what we do with our lives now. I wish you the best of luck in whatever you do.
@@chrisdropulich5902 thanks! You are exactly right. Don’t look back and always work hard for the things you want. No one can do it for you!
If you don’t know what this feels like be glad, and have compassion for those who have.
Amen!
Amen
I will always see someone who has made it through the darkness and come out the other side better for it as stronger than myself because I've never gone through that darkness.
🙏
@@klodabear3932 I pray you never know the feeling. It has been 12 years for me and I still have to fight the demons on a daily basis. Thank you for your support for those of us who do have that monkey on our back.
This is a beautiful facet of our collective healing. As a recovered heroin addict I love the connective power and impact of this. Thank you Tom.
We are all crying with you, Tom! Currently 6 years clean from crystal meth. Thank you so much for making this song.
Good job keeping up the fight.
May you have 60 more.

" Feeling like a weak man, I dont want to be that, living every day to get a buzz on the weekend"
That line hit me hard. Tom, keep doing what you are doing. Your music speaks volumes to so many. Dont ever stop
🙏
That was my favorite line as well.
Tom, I have been clean for 23 years. I know your struggle and you will have good days and bad days but eventually the good ones will be more than the bad. It gets better it gets easier. Being alone will become your comfort zone. I know this comment is very late but I just recently found your music and it is great. Came across this song today and just felt a need to reach out. I don't know how long you have been sober but you keep going. I love you, your fans love you. Continue to speak truth, there are so many who need to hear it. This song will turn people around. I know it. This will make people believe and let them know they are not alone. THANK YOU!!!
"The right things to are the hardest choices!" I'm kinda speechless in a very good way... so many of us feel this, thank you for putting this realness out there, we are never alone in the struggle
Oh Tom 😭 I’ve never struggled with addictions, but have the paralyzing anxiety and depression. Sitting in the bathtub trying to breath...I felt that line in my soul. Sending hugs, because Tom crying is absolutely heartbreaking!
I can't take Tom in tears
I suffer from both anxiety & addiction. Fortunately I'm 16yrs sober but I would fight addiction 100 times over dealing with anxiety attacks, the paralysis when fireworks go off(PTSD). Addiction is hard to beat but is a lot easier than beating depression & anxiety. Baby steps, crawl if you have to, but keep moving forward, this too shall pass.
@@carmelitalovelace2954 me neither...💔
@@RogerSegerJr congratulations on 16 years sober! 👏🏻 Thanks for the encouragement. Anxiety and depression are terrible demons, but with Jesus, I’ll win.
@@RogerSegerJr Don't over think....That's satans playground...Let the thoughts in n don't ponder on them and little by little you'll see that life is Beautiful....🙏😎
Spot on! I never want to go thru that feeling again. 12yrs 8months 17days clean & sober.
❤️🙏🏻
⛲
So proud of and happy for you ❤💓
Congratulations. What an amazing accomplishment
Why does everyone count the days from when you got clean. I am proud of anyone who can get clean it is the hardest thing I ever did but honestly I don't remember the day I changed and I really don't want to Why because the person I was when I was addicted is not the person I am now.
Dear Tom, thank you for this song. I listen to it about twice a week as I fight to stay sober. I'm currently going into my third month of sobriety. But this isn't the first attempt of being sober. I've had many doctors and many pills. So I feel this song very much. I Wish I could meet you to shake your hand. Thank you very much
This guy, puts literally all of his life into music to help others, through all of his struggles, he is so selfless, all he wants is to help us. Let’s all do him a favor and watch the video a couple times a day, and download the song.
We have less than a day to get this video to three million views. Actually less than sixteen hours from now. We need to keep pushing, watch it atleast 5 times from each device you have just on TH-cam alone
Tom I think this might be your best work to date it is so well written and the emotion behind it is so genuine! Truly amazing!
Mass you drop emotional stuff as well and the past year or so you've been grinding HARD! I'll see you next stream!
Ya, I might agree. Pretty emotional just watching it.
I agree

.
Yes. It is!!!
4 days clean at the moment, been trying to quit for 10 years. I'm listening to this song to fight the cravings.
Addict here I have to to set my timer every 30 minutes to not use...keep fighting bro. Take care
Listen to sleeping ute by Grizzly Bear...that one helps me a lot
🙏🏼Rob🙏🏼💕
Fucking warrior! Keep fighting! 5+ yrs for me.
You got this. If it was easy there would be no addicts. It will be worth it.
As someone who went through this several times, it hits hard and is a great representation of the experience. By the grace of God and the strength He has provided me I have been able to keep addiction at bay for 21 years now. To anyone out there struggling, know that it is possible. All things are possible through Christ. I'm praying for you, whoever you are.
This one really hit home. 15 years clean now.
th-cam.com/video/yzmLc6LX9y8/w-d-xo.html❤
Proud of you brother 15 years strong is amazing
Congratulations,man. Keep thriving!
Awesome!! Definitely something to be said with pride. 2 months shy of 15yrs myself. I WILL make it to 15 too! Definitely nothing easy about it but it CAN be done ❤✌
@@Pisces-1978 keep that energy you're all amazing people
Can we all just take a second to appreciate the fact that we are seeing Tom how Nova sees Tom? No doubt the lyrics are his, the soul is his, but it's his love, Nova, who is getting his lighting right, who is capturing the visual... this is how his girlfriend sees him artistically, and I think that's beatiful.
Ive thought this so many times. No production company in the world can give us the loving shots that Nova brings.
Couldn't of said it any better
💯👊
So true. Nova is a true talent just like Tom.
It was a stupid song
“Tryin’ to stay clean, I just really need a reason”
Hits hard
Make God your reason give thanks to him that you are still here to change who you are
Bruh... Same, literally started crying. Im currently on my withdrawals tho..
Bro you are the reason man you got this just push yourself
@@Oscarr_Official I know the feeling , too well. Sending my regards
@@Oscarr_Official Hang in there,,
I'm 32 months sober. It took multiple trys. I had 2 alcohol induced seizures from the withdrawals. It was by far the hardest thing I ever battled through. Since being sober. I found myself a beautiful woman that I married too. Became a homeowner and we had our first child together 7 months ago. My beautiful wife and beautiful daughter named Willow and son Wyatt are the reasons I keep going everyday. Prayers to all of you struggling. The struggle really never goes away. It just becomes maintainable. Stay strong. Much love ❤️
Same…I’m scared but my life…my love is wrestling. So much wrestling has helped. Eddie Guerrero is an inspiration. Hearing Kevin Nash’s words about his son. My aunt saying I’ve seen people die before 40 from alcohol. Waking up asking God please help me. I’m trying so hard to phase alcohol out of my life. Last night was ROUGH. Every fiber of me was say drink up. But my soul was saying no! This song is helping too…rather ironic considering Tom was a wrestler.
Keep it up! I too am sober finally. I had a 23 year long gnarly Opiate addiction. Which began at 14 with My father feeding me prescription pain pills. I got sober at 37. I am now just over a year fully clean and sober. And I still am in a program and I go to my outpatient clinic 4x a week still! I started at 7 days a week. Very slowly allowed for tiny bits of more freedom. I think I’ll work a program of one kind or another for the rest of my life. Which is overwhelming at times to think too deeply about. But considering the absolute hell I survived in for the first half of my life this should be looked at as a blessing not a curse. It saved my life. I was praying every single night to not wake up the next day. I wanted to die I had become so depressed and trapped. But now my life is slowly getting better and better. I just wanted to tell you I know your pain. I understand the struggle. As well as the blessings That all come at you at once when you change your life and stop using and have to face everything head on that u have avoided or swept under the rug for so long. It sounds like your on an amazing path now! ❤
Jake, My daughter wants to say thank you to Tom for helping my daddy 😢 hardest war ever! Coming from a marine that was shot.. Getting “call me names” tattooed on my back. It’s fuel to my fire!
@RobynR I'm dealing with that now. Thank you for your words
Brother, good for you! I meen it!! I know exactly how it is. It's amazing how much can be gained back in a short amount of time. Love you man!
Praying for you Tom. My son drank to fight depression. He lost his fight with depression April 4, 2014. Live ! Just live. You are so needed in this world.
Dear Sweet Mom of this precious son you described, my heart goes out to you and hope you will have every day in peace and joy even thought some days you must miss your child more than words can describe. Sending you much love, hope it helps a little that there are folks out in this world who care about you and your journey.
I’m so sorry
Thank you for sharing. Prayer is so powerful. I lost my brother to the same battle. I've learned so much since then, their legacy is not wasted in the people we walk with, who's loved ones are still alive.
I'm sure that sorry doesn't help much, but it's all some have to offer. 😥 If it helps you , know that so many of us teach our children with stories like yours. And we won't stop. And that helps at least one person, if not so many more. ❤
❤
One of the very few artists who speaks about real life problems. Very relatable. This man is an inspiration!! Keep it up Tom i’ll be backing you all the way my friend
If you like real stuff listen to NF
Check out Falling In Reverse's song Popular Monster!
the tattoo that says “see you tomorrow” gave me chills. that sentence saved and continues to save my life. it’s what my sponsor has said to me every day for the last 3 years. never leave without making a commitment for the next day. i love this 💕 thank you tom
that support sounds amazing
Good luck with your journey yall, keep it up, you're worth it! 💪
@@saanasalonen8684 i’ll keep you in my prayers, i felt the same way. it took me a couple times to get it, i spent a while floating around aa and na and never really doing a lot. thankfully i made it back and have stayed this time. it does work, when you work it. best of luck on your journey. i wish you the willingness 💕
Today is day 16 no alcohol for me. This song has become my gospel. Listen every day multiple times. Reminds me I’m not alone and I can come out on the other side. But some moments are hard. So glad I found this song.
you got this
Mike I really hope you make it. I'm stage 4 cirrhosis and the clock is ticking, if you quit before you do serious damage like I did you can avoid this. It's a sllooow and painful death
About to hit 8 years sober. Have those thoughts everyday.. Crazy inspirational Tom. Everyday is a struggle. Gotta keep your head above water.
Congratulations on the 8 years.
God bless you. There are people u don't know and will never meet that pray for your and others.
Congrats, one day at a time 💯
Congratulations. Eight years is a long time. Just over a year and a half myself. I don't have much of a struggle not drinking but a constant struggle to maintain a state of spiritual progression that keeps me from getting to a state where I might contemplate drinking. I don't ever want to get to that state of mind again.
Hey tom, just wanted to let you know I called my doctor today to start rehab and it's all because of u my friend. 3 week detox and I'm gonna fight after as well...thank you
hell ya, you stay strong and you can do it!
Good for you!! You’ve got this!
That's amazing!! Don't know if I've ever been proud a stranger before...🤔 That's a first! I wish you all of the strength in the world!!👊👏
detox for 3 weeks? i think you mean 3 days bro lol, More than 85% of addicts will relapse within their first year of treatment don't be that guy, don't fool yourself either getting on suboxone start with the vivitrol shot
Hope youre rocking it! ❤
Sometimes TH-cam comment sections are hilarious and sometimes it will piss you off. But every once in a while it will restore your faith in humanity from the outpouring of support and positivity. This is one of those times.
I was absolutely thinking about the same thing ! Wow, well said my friend ❤️❤️❤️
m.th-cam.com/video/AG9pgwyVRas/w-d-xo.html
I just said basically the exact same thing to my husband earlier today I played the song constantly ever since it came out but as I listen to the song I read the outpouring of love Give Me Faith in humanity still as well
We have less than a day to get this video to three million views. Actually less than sixteen hours from now. We need to keep pushing, watch it atleast 5 times from each device you have just on TH-cam alone
💕
My husband made it. Thank God 🙏. He got clean not long before we met.. and I needed him, so bad. He’s such a good man. We’ve been together 9yrs, married 7, and have 2 beautiful kids. ❤To anyone struggling. You can make it. Because there’s a beautiful life waiting for you.
BRO forget the industry. You doing it bigger and bigger every week. I pray this one reaches someone out there to show we are all going through this thing called life together... Love you fam!

I’ve never seen an artist work as hard as Tom does. Everything he puts out is gold! Such a badass.
Check out tupac
check out eminem or nf!
@@lackycc two of my other favorites!!
Tupac, Eminem, Dr. Dre......and then comes Tom. He might be the new generation Eminem, but with a different name......Tom.
I feel like everyone likes to compare. Like NF vs. Eminem etc. I mean it’s art, everyone has a different style.
The first time I head this song, it brought me back to the dark days when i was 14-16. my dad wasn't a good person and abused me. I'm only 17 now but still really depressed and drink behind their backs and vape all the time. this song has really touched me through all of the dark times when I'm unable to talk to my girl about the shit that goes on at home. Thanks Tom. your music is amazing!
“I can see my rib cage but I can’t eat.”
That hits hard man.
ugh same.
@BILLIE SAYS DUH I'll listen, once it drops.
You’re beautiful.
Don’t let anybody tell you different!
Stay strong, hold on, we are all on this crazy ride together.
Love and beauty have no boundaries.
Our destination is made better by the good souls we connect with on the way.
Ignore the fools.
✌🏻❤️🏴
but tom's been getting fat

Well done Hanna.
Your arrogance overwhelms you so much that you feel empowered with shitty comments like that!
Shallow.
I’ll pray for you.
I love the singing and songwriting in this. Great work brother
Cya in Columbus Riz!
I haven't forgotten about what you did to those girls.
@@Random-px4lm What are you commenting about? Who are you responding to?
@@honeybadgerusa5689 Karizma. 2ish years ago many girls came out about who he is. Some alleged that he raped them(some are minors) I have dozens of screenshots/proof saved from when all this went down. You should look into it. There's a lot of evidence.
@@honeybadgerusa5689 just checked right now and allegedly he has 30+ rape accusations.
Having lost a lifelong friend to alcohol, and being with him to the end, this hits hard brother.
But the real question, how is Sam Axes drinking problem that man loves his Mojitos. Sorry I had to. Love the name and picture haha.
My brother in law, someone I consider to a brother to me than my own brother, he drank himself to death too.. it killed me when he died.. i also had a good friend that I helped to get clean, and after Hurricane Katrina, he went back to drugs and OD. I think I cried for a month.. this song says and proves, your true friends will b there for u when u need them the most..
Lost a few, 2 girlfriends as well I couldn't stop that or Coke no longer take drugs and unbelievable I can take or leave alcohol alone I've been rehabilitation 3 times every alcohol addiction group u can think of and I surrender to god living room floor and my life is million times better 🙏
Sam, let's be honest, you were the one feeding Barry mojitos all the time
I lost my brother and sister in law both because they could not stop and deal with the withdrawal of pills........... I miss them every day!!
My mom died of an overdose almost one year ago and my dad has been sober over 2 years now. One beat addiction, one didnt. With my mom being gone it’s hard but I love that songs like this help to see the perspective and heart of someone who struggles with addiction. Tom music like this is ministry. It’s therapy. God had a plan and purpose for your life!
💚💚💚
I give tons of credit to any recovering addict or alcoholic. I can’t imagine the torment. This song should be a theme song to recovery. Best of luck all.
Greatly said my friend
Thank you. Bless you man
Thank you. Jesus helped me quit drinking 1 year 5months 8 days. Quit smoking bud 3 days ago. Jesus is helping me quit smoking cigarettes too. It’s a battle for sure but trust in the Lord and he will show us the light. God bless sir.
Thank you for your kindness. I am a recovering addict/alcoholic I have been sober for 3 years from the alchohol after drinking 17 years it was hell on earth iv been clean from the pills and everything else for 13 years
I've been clean for over 15 years and ever day is a struggle. I will always be a addict till the day I die.
To everyone who is through this difficult time right now: may God help you and may Tom's songs help you, too, wherever you are in this world.
💜
...help yourselves...it's all any of us have...
Musicians create. Entertainers perform. Legends inspire.
Wow, can I borrow this? Love that phrase. Thank you.
*Taking place during Batman's early days, this summer watch part 1&2 of "The Long Halloween"!*
I'm 12 months clean from my i.v meth addiction TODAY Tom, and you helped me get there. Thank you for the gifts of life, determination, drive, hope, strength, love, truth, sobriety, self worth, self respect Tom, I don't know if I could have done it without you.
Man this hit home. Brought tears to my eyes. 4 years sober. Will fight the addiction the rest of my life but refuse to let it win. It's hard but you got this Tom. We are here fighting with you!

That's tuff 🔥💪 ayy nigga stay broke.
That beautiful man
That beautiful man
I’m 22 years sober and work at a inpatient rehab. I’ll definitely be sharing this one with my patients.
✨💜👏👏👏 proud of you friend. Thank you for your service work and for continuing to come back 🦋
Spent some time in one specializing in 'troubled teens' when I was younger, and you guys really don't get paid enough for what you deal with. Respect what you guys do a ton.
As I posted on the comments, I got out of rehab a few weeks ago. The staff members in my unit that were in recovery themselves made all the difference in my recovery and they/You truly understand. Thank You so much for You dedication and it gives me hope when I see people with so much clean time giving back. I'm proud of You!! Much Love brother. I hope You read this and that You're still doing well.
Very powerful message. This song will touch so many lives. Amazing lyrics and video as always.❤❤❤
Damn, wonder how many lives he just changed or saved with this one... keep bein you, Tom. You're what this world needs.
AMEN!!!
New or old songs, ya never get old Tom and Nova. Love you folks and please no matter what, please keep going, we need you!
The reaction to Tom proves that there is still a appreciation for brilliance in this dumbed down world. Thank you Tom
The "dumbed down" have always been fewer..just louder. Mr Tom will not be quiet though! lol
Well said my friend, sometime i feel like no one gives a fuck. Im allways wrong.
@@Ryan21500 🤟💯
Tom, Hasset house is playing this everyday for the teens. It's a rehab. They found the kids are RELATING to you more then their current program. So you may have saved some young teens. I don't know if it was one of your goals, but you literally are helping 162 teens right now. I personally thank you. Someone very special to me is now still here due to you. You saved a beating heart Tom. It probably has not hit you that way. But you and I MUST mention your team saved a young beating heart. I would personally thank you if I could.
That is absolutely amazing !
This is awesome. I know he has helped thousands of people. His music is very relatable to the struggles addicts have. It's good to hear he's helping more and more each day. Sobriety is never an easy road, but it's a road to personal freedom.
Love this
I wish I could hug you right now. This post makes me so happy. Thank you for writing this! ❤
@@jessicadavenport2808 I would do the same thing Jessica...best to you! I listen to this song and I can't help but shed a tear or two because of my friends I've lost over the years.
Nobody knows how hard it is to quit an addiction. NOBODY! Unless you did it yourself. Thanks Tom. You nailed it.
@iBobby2012 do you have adhd
I HAVE LIVED EVERY WORD OF THIS TOM....SIXTY YEARS OLD AND BEEN CLEAN JUST OVER FOUR YEARS. BURNT DOWN MY ENTIRE LIFE AND EVERYONE AROUND ME, NOW I HAVE A NEW LIFE BUT THE AFTERMATH STILL LINGERS IN LOST RELATIONSHIPS....JUST KEEP DOING THE NEXT RIGHT THING.
I haven't punctured my skin with a needle since February 26, 2018...since then I have conquered hepatitis C and gained employment. I now work everyday. I'm just blessed to be above ground. Good shit Tom! Keep it up.

Dude you rock ...
❤️❤️ So glad you made it man. Keep your head up and keep climbing, you got this 🥰
8 years sober. Thank you, Tom. Always feel like I'm not alone when you drop.
The best thing about Tom is that even though he's got money and fame, regular everyday people can still relate and connect with him. 💯
@@nielsbiemond1368 I never said that.
NF has the same effect. Love them both.
@@nielsbiemond1368 Fair enough. If you haven't struggled, KUDOS to you! I feel like even those who have not struggled with addiction, per say, … themselves, I imagine that they have still known someone who's struggled or struggles with addiction. I mean it's a sad reality but addiction is a common thing today.
@@soulsbornprep right on
There are tons of ailments people have to deal with, either personally or through family or friends

Hey Tom. I’m 35. I have an issue I’m trying to control and this song spoke to me like nothing ever in my life. Thank you so much for this. You really helped me.
I wish you the best. You’re amazing
There's millions of people out there that needed this, thank you Tom..
We have less than a day to get this video to three million views. Actually less than sixteen hours from now. We need to keep pushing, watch it atleast 5 times from each device you have just on TH-cam alone
Amen
I remember before my grandpa passed away and I talked to him about my depression and wanting to give up and he told me “a warrior drops to knee and sheds a tear before picking up the sword and continue fighting”. Being 13 I didn’t really understand so he broke it down: it’s okay to feel depressed and hopeless and like nothing will get better but don’t let those feelings stop you, shed the tears you need to be able to stand up and continue fighting for the life you want and the life that’ll make you happy and proud. Your not alone Tom and never will be cause we, the hang over gang, will always have your back ❤️ you can do this Tom stay strong!
Better than Tom.

Your grandfather was a smart man and greater man for sharing with you. The key is not to get stuck on stupid. ✌️✌️
It was so hard to read your comment bc it made me cry like a dang baby. Thanks. Trying not to give up.
Fucking great advice. I will keep that with me for life. Thank you and your grandpa
Why did this comment not have read more?
I'm 50, terminal, docs say I won't see next month, between no life gang and hang over gang I'm motivated more and more to fight. I mean I gotta see what drops on Friday right? Thanks Tom for all you do and hang over gang for considering me family. Much love!
Wishing you the best bud:(
Light and love your way
Nobody knows what the future holds. Your post is inspiring! Keep strong!
Stay strong sir, and much love to you ❤️❤️
All love to you, Scott. Thanks for being our family
Oh my God Tom Macdonald, this hits home. You got my support totally!!! Every addict I know would support you right now!!!
Another epic track from the best independent artist today
*One of the best
-Best artist. 👌💗
How about just best artist period! ;)
Will you be doing a reaction to this?
Dont need the "independent" qualifier.... Simply the best
Tom really is on his own level. Genuine artist.
“Deleted all the numbers from my phone, I’m staying home. Wishin I was high with all my friends”
Damn dog, I feel that. Thank G-d I’ve managed to stay sober for a few years now.
Love you Tom. 🙌🏼❤️
Two of the biggest things that stuck with me from people at meetings... "Rock bottom is when you decide to put the shovel down"
The other one is an inner monologue a guy said he'd have from time to time cause he had to drive past the bottle shop on his way home...
"Maybe you should stop and get a bottle" "Nah maybe tomorrow" he was 34 years sober at the time.
You all got this. I'm only at 8 months but the future looks brighter and brighter every day ❤
THIS is the song that deserves ten times over to hit the top charts! This NEEDS to be pushed!!
Agree
Man, quitting something is the hardest, and Tom quit everything. That shows how strong he is as a person. Great role model.
th-cam.com/video/ir_vwvcXEzg/w-d-xo.html he quit this
Tom's the best of all.. for emotional reasons... iv beat alcohol and crack and heroin all because tom macdonald helped me see the light... and wow tom Macdonald what a lovely guy you are love ya xxx
@@poptartcart_6730 what was that? It's been taken down. Is there an explanation anywhere? Concerned.
Thanks for sharing your recovery with us. You are an inspiration.
@create what the heck is this stuff. I went to it and closed it so fast
@iBobby2012 wow dont even know what to say to that one.... 🙄 just wowzerz
@King Longface yea that dumb. No one waste there time watching two young guys do dumb shit like ask a guy if he really looked at his own girls ass....... or asking a driver if they like pie with no pie.... this is dumb as fack
@iBobby2012 Thats a lot of words to say I’m jealous and full of hate... also 🤦🏼♂️ that bs you linked... ffs
@iBobby2012 every addicts experience is different. Anyone who chooses to share their story through music, has their own creative way & style. A 'real' addict song is any song that is based on someone's life of addiction, recovery, relapses etc & there is no limit to that because you can get addicted to literally ANYTHING. It's not a competition. anyone that has went through, is going through, or is watching someone go through an addiction understand this and feel the pain to the core of their heart. You can't fucking fake addiction. You obviously don't understand. Just another salty man.
It takes an incredible strength 💪 to not only stay sober but become successful on top of that ...🎉 for Tom and everyone who made it through the darkest of times
I really like Tom's vocals during the bridge in this song... Very moving, especially after surviving addiction. This is pretty great.
18 months clean 😙
Good job!!!

Im still on substitute medication but atkeast I see it as medicine again. I got addicted to painkillers after a severe accident. When I told my doctor i started to feel sick without it.she just cut the fentanyl straight off. No substitute no nothing no help. I feel quite ok now and actually started a Bible course even tho I'm not a believer. My goal is to be clean within 2 years maybe 1 it depends on surcomstances. I did a cold turkey and where clean for 2 years but I got suicidal so I went back. With the rehab help I'm sure I can do it right. GL everyone. I wonder how Tom could say cigarettes was the worst? That's easy.
@@egolysergic8499 You'll get it just stay strong. You gotta find a source of motivation to want to change, find new hobbies, stop associating with anyone who's involved in that life. It's a ton of work.
I actually haven't been able to drop the cigarette habit myself yet 😔
@@hedgehogpancakes6174 The cigarette is easy compared to opiates but you will make it easy when you feel like quitting. Don't force it is my advice. It is a ton of job and I cut the strings to all the ppl I used to hang with. GL with staying clean and the cigarettes will come. First week is the worst. And I took up a hobby since my youth. R/C cars 🤣
I feel I’m friends with Tom with how vulnerable he is in his music. I have really grown to respect him as a musician and as a human. Another great job Bro, this is one hell of a ride.
Agreed bro, me too. 👍
This is where Tom becomes a full blown LEGEND!!
AMAZING!!!!
Only dreamers let's gooo!! Much love to all of yall too 🙏🏻🙏🏻🙏🏻
Much love to all my HoG brothers and sisters. Never alone
Nah, Tom’s always been a legend. He’s just back to his roots of what themes his songs used to surround.
Pure genius x
100%
You and Nova are so BEAUTIFULLY AMAZING THANK YOU GOD BLESS
This is so relatable. But it’s inspiring to see him staying strong and keep fighting the demons. He’s helping by sharing his story
Yes
Never done drugs but depressive moods can also a person in a state of limbo.

This song is yet another beautiful reminder of how far we’ve come.
I started listening to this song when it came out. Ever since then, I was battling my own head. He caused me to think. I finally made the choice to become clean. And it's thanks to Tom. Its only been a few days, but I hope I can keep it going.
Congratulations
One day at a time bro u got this!!
Thanks you guys. Its been difficult but I got my family supporting me as well as my HOG family. Thank yall.
We support you! I know this may sound weird, but please feel free to reply to this comment if you ever need a response from someone, ever want to talk or feel encouraged. Idk if you believe in prayer or not, but if it helps at all, I will be praying for you on your journey!
No matter what, hang on to that feeling man. We all fail, all of us, all the time. Remember the things that bring you success and confidence in your own greatness- then continue to seek them out when you find yourself in darkness.
Powerful transformation!!!! Thank God , God Bless Tom and Nova.
Man that hit me hard as hell, I'm sitting here typing with tears in my eyes. Anyone going through these feelings just know, you can get through this. It is hard, but its worth it, You're worth it!

#TomMacdonald said “Tryna stay clean, I just really need a reason” I hope he knows he is that reason for thousands of people. I haven’t been in those shoes, but after this song I felt it.
Right...
Dear Tom, I just got out of rehab today the 11th of September. We were fortunate to have group music therapy and Sober and Withdrawals brought almost 24 people in recovery, to tears. They learned about you and a whole lot about themselves! Thank you.
