HELL YEA
You’re great! I’ve never been a huge fan of “commercial “ rap, they just repeat the same shit over and over! I’m battling cancer so your cancer song really touched me! 100% a fan! Keep rocking dude!
Oh yeah just made my 69 year old mom a fan also!! She’s surviving double mastectomy breast cancer right now! She thought you were great! ❤
Hi tom
I just beat cancer at the age of 17. Thank you for this song and every other song! BEST SINGER EVER!!!
17 jesus
Every day is a gift. What are you going to do today?
Glad you made it mines crazy addictions think going on 7 years meant to be
Agreed my favorite music artist of all time.
Congratulations 🙏🏼💓
I lost my husband to cancer making me a widowed mom of 3 at 36, turned to alcohol, widowed a second time at 42 due to a heart attack. Fought and won my own battle with cancer. Luckily I found the fighter in me. I live every day with a positive mindset because the alternative is a very dark place. Thank you so much for the gift of this song. Anytime I need a little reminder I will be turning to this song. Amazing job Tom and Nova! #HOG4ever!!
Yes Please, 🍻 everyday is a good day, above ground.
HOG FOREVER!!!
Wow, sounds like a very difficult life...just you being here even attempting to think positively is all the proof you need to know you're a fighter though! Tough as nails ma'am 💪
A true warrior. Keep your head up💕
May the lord bless you.. whoever reads this comment God has you. Jesus loves you.. don't quit.. amen
@63 with 35 years of recovery under my belt...So glad u made it Tom MacDonald! Thx 4 encouraging others!❤
See u in the clouds, Maranatha
I love this, I was homeless for over ten years. Seven years later, I just bought my first house. We all need this right now because lots of people are going through a lot. Thanks Tom and Nova, you seem to have a knack for putting out material that really says a lot about the times we are living through. Thanks for making it easier through your talents and gifts.
I agree, I think we all need to get even closer to Jesus. Congratulations on turning your life around. God bless.
@@rathey7999 when I got saved, my life turned around. Wasn’t an addict or anything. A workplace accident and Worker’s Compensation messed up my life. When I got saved, it seemed the steps I needed to take to get back on track became abundantly clear. Bless you and yours 🙏
I’m 57 and fighting cancer. Love this song…hell, I love all your music. Keep up the good works of music and philanthropy…God made you exactly for our time. Blessings upon you always, young man.
God bless you. May the Lord heal you in Jesus name
All the best to you. Stay strong.
❤prayers
47 and everyone around me has been fighting that good fight. Mom and dad are still fighting it in heaven right now🙏 Cancer is pure EVIL and Ill pray for you. Fight and try to believe.
This one brings me to tears every time. I'm 58 homeless and disabled in my hands and more.. I've been a strong woman all of my life but now at times I'm not feeling it. Thanks Tom for reminding me just who this lil cherokee is and what I'm made of!
Toms music speaks to people across all ages and backgrounds. It’s amazing reading the comments. ❤
I wouldn't normally say personal stuff on the internet to a bunch of strangers. But my mum, passed away two years ago yesterday when I woke up to Tom's new song. I've fought personal battles with depression, suicide, alcohol, daily life struggles, and trying to be the strong respectable person. But watching this was like listening to my mom still cheering me on to keep going and saying all the things she used to tell me. I used to brush it off and say "I know mom" but I really needed the push and the self respect boost. This one will be played on repeat for awhile and brought back whenever I needed that help from mom and that swift kick in the rear she used to give me when I didn't think i needed it, so thanks Tom. And anyone who reads all this ramble thanks.
💫💞😇
Hang on there
Aye bless you buddy
Sending Prayers And Hugs
Stay strong be safe
This is great! I'm 5 years cancer free. 3 years ago my dad and bf both died within a few months of each other. 13 years clean nov 6th. Never stop fighting. Take each day as it comes. Always know there are people out there rooting for you to succeed when everyone around you says you will fail. I'm walking proof of what fighting will get you.
Keep fighting, never stop. 🥊
Keep fighting sweetheart 💖
I was watching videos on CZcams until I came across your lovely profile. How are you doing?
Congratulations on 13 years luv ! Class of 2009 here too - 8-12-09. We are blessed. Sorry for your losses, my Mom died unexpectedly when I was a little over a year sober and clean. Couldn't have made it without my sponsor and women in AA walking me through it .
Sending over some love and positive vibes ✨🦋💖 ~ Sorry for your loss & I hope you continue to fight ❤ ~ You are worth it ~ ❤
I'm hearing this for the 1st time and I am literally weeping! I've been sober 11 yrs after 30 yrs of alcoholism & addiction and been in therapy for 1 1/2 yrs and currently, this song is me in the current moment. Thank you for speaking words I truly needed to hear! Thank you!
I beat Meth over 15 years ago, Used alcohol as a crutch. 5 days sober so far
One day,one minute at a time. You can do this!
Good for you 💜
I just lost one of my best friend who was an alcoholic.😢 I'm so mad at him, he couldn't put the bottle down. ⚡️🖤⚡️
Keep goin’, hon. One day your testimony can help someone else survive another day. The best thing you can believe is in Jesus Christ. And he believes in you enough to die for you. The best way to forget about yourself is to think of others so share what God has done for you. God Bless you. ❤
1 second at a time , then 1 minute, then 1 day, believe.
Tom just wanted to say congrats on sobriety, a lot can’t comeback or even think they need to because they don’t realize the problem yet.
Keep doing it man, true inspiration.
I just lost my fiancé to addiction, and by the grace of God, I’m still sober. 5+ years, one day at a time. This song hit so hard. Thank you Tom. You really are moving people with your music. You are unlike any other artist that is out there today. so blessed to be a part of the HOG family. Never give up, never stop fighting, keep doing what you love and changing lives.
So sorry for your loss. Praying for you and yours.
Im so sorry
🥊
🤘🏼🤘🏼
I’m sober 5 1/2 years and my fiancé passed away 90 days from fentanyl . This has been the hardest thing I’ve ever faced and honestly some days I don’t even want to get out of bed. He was actually the reason I am a fan of you, Tom. He introduced me to your music. Your songs about sobriety, and your struggles really connected with the two of us. I’m doing everything I can to believe that there was a reason for why he went so young, and I am a fighter, and I’m going to make it through. I’m so happy that this drop was a song of hope, strength, faith, and power. I’ve never seen an artist care more about his fans than you. We all truly do feel like we are part of you and nova’s family.
🙏😘 Bless you! So sorry about your fiance. Keep fighting!
So sorry for your loss 💔. Stay close to the program. I'm assuming you're going to AA- try it if you're not. Saved my fkn life and is my support lifeline. Prayers up 🙏.
So sorry to hear that ! Lost my nephew to an overdose. Praying for you 🙏 I attend a Celebrate Recovery myself, it helps me alot. I don't feel like I have to "do it" alone.
Sorry for your loss and yes there was a reason you were put together, All those moments you shared good and not so good. Reflect on the good, Talk about your feelings, and stick to the program. He would want it that way and his memory will help with the fight you face. You Will Win
Sorry for your loss. #HOG
You don't know how much this song means to me. My story is not being ill or sick 😷 🤧 I've been fighting with myself for a long time all for the wrong reason. I stumbled upon you with the song system. Btw it was brilliant. For me Fighter, it brought me back in the day when I founded my Lord and savior Jesus Christ. I was away from God for such a long time, 😭😭😭 this song brought me hope and love. Thank you Tom. Thank you for opening up my window. God Bless you and America
I’m so proud of you.. keep pushing forward darling. 😊
Oh my goodness. My daughter heard "I'm a Belieber" and seriously asked if that is what Tom said!! I was shocked and was like, "Oh Hell No"!!!
My friend has been blind for 25 yrs after being shot in the head. Getting his sight back was medically impossible. Sunday night at church he was being prayed for and said he started seeing shadows and light when he opened his eyes instead of darkness. It was confirmed Monday at his Dr appt via CT scan that his optic nerve was now miraculously reattached. His Dr is still scratching their head and he is praising God. My pastor and congregation are in awe of the greatness and power of what God is doing. Amen
Tom, I'm a 49 year old, widower, broken down combat vet. I've felt dead inside for so long, but your music stirs something inside me. I love what you and Nova are doing. Keep it coming
Thank you for your service sir.
So the reality is nobody is perfect because the Holy Spirit is in them. Rather they are seen as righteous because of the righteousness of God (Christ Jesus) in them. What bothers me is that Nova Rockafeller is involved in this man's life. I doubt anything good will come of him or her as I then wonder what is true.
If they are not of us, it is because they never were of us. In other words, you can get some political ideas from this guy, but be very careful thinking anything spirtual from him is solid gold.
Thank you for your service and keep up the good fight.
Thank you for your service!
Appreciate your service 💯🙏💗🇺🇸
I played your new song for my amazing teens in a stabilization program from substance and mental health issues. Which I believe is a symptom of their trauma. You truly are amazing. Your words will never be forgotten. The girls wanted to hear more, and truly heard you. What will forever be remembered is the look each young lady had. I can never thank you enough for helping them to see they can and will always be fighters. You spoke to them more than I ever could. You may never see this message but for all who rebuild their lives, you are never alone. Reach out, be that fighter you are loved by people you haven't even met yet. Thank you Tom for the tears of thank you for sharing your story to my most amazing fighters that have graced my life.
❤️💞
Cindy I love your post. I had to rebuild my life and now I work with disabled kids, this song put things in perspective. I thank you for fighting for our kids who don’t have anyone else to fight for them! God bless!
Beautiful and heartfelt ❤
Tom is more of a role model than any celebrity could ever be ....i loved reading this ❤️
I Pray that your Teens make a Full & Complete Recovery Free from their Trauma. In Jesus Name I Pray Amen! God Bless You and Your Family!!!
Tom,
I'll be 68 yrs old this week and traveled quite a few of your same dark roads in my past.
Since finding you by chance on CZcams a couple yrs back, I want to thank you for waking up a lot of emotions I thought were long gone in my heart.
Could listen to you 24/7.
Continued success and stay strong.
And most importantly keep on the path you have found.
I've been fighting depression most of my life. It's can be devastating. You feel that every thing is your fault 💔
I'm a disabled veteran with PTSD who has battled with alcohol & drug addiction for years. This year it has been so hard for me to maintain my sobriety & mental health. I lost my mother to Corona virus in February, my oldest brother in March to a heart attack and my younger brother to cancer just a few months ago. This song really hit home for me as I thought I was losing my faith in myself & God. I needed this message. Ty so much for giving people like me such an inspirational song. Keep making great music!
I am so sorry for all the great losses you have had to face this year 🧡 Stay strong brother #HOG
🙏 for ya
You aren't alone. I manage the damage just like you. One day, one step. Be well
James I'm sorry for your troubles man. Please don't loose hope. I can resonate with you're adversity and it's hard but keep your chin up buddy.
@James, Thank you for your services and my condolences for your losses, WHE WE ARE WEEK HE/JESUS IS STRONG
Take this from a 59 year old grandmother of 10.... You are here for a reason Tom keep doing what you do!!! Ty my children And grandchildren need people like you... Again THANK YOU
Momma of ten & grandma to nine ❤ ~ I always share his songs with them & this one has had me in tears since I first heard it yesterday. I love the lyrics and vibe !! We truly need more people like Tom & the Hangover Gang ❤ ~ Sending some positive vibes over to you✨🦋
@sobonas21 I'm 62 and love Tom and his music. It resonates with a lot of people my age. He is honest with his lyrics and says what most singers are too scared to say.
57 with 2 grandsons who love Tom and Nova as much as we do. Great new song!
@sabonas21 I too am in my 60s. My younger son told me about Tom during Trump's presidency. At first I couldn't look at him. Just listened to the words. I've never been a fan of tatoos and piercings. I'm hyper empathetic especially to pain. So it pained me to see them. I have found that these things make Tom, Tom! His message is so good and REAL! This song has touched my heart. And as someone said, it's just not long enough.
GRAMMA OF *TEN!!* :O

Tom MacDonald sings beautiful words of encouragement.
My daughter should have been born 1/10/24. Instead she came too early for the hospital to care. I am working toward getting to the positivity in this song. Not quite there yet but I am so thankful for this message. Bless!❤
Thanks Tom, I've been battling depression and alcohol for years, this brought me to tears and gives me strength to keep fighting. God Bless
Keep up the good fight man! You're not alone 🙏
YOU CAN DO IT BELIVE IN YOURSELF
Keep going you can do it stay strong
Drop the bottle brother
You can do it
I don't know you but in a since I do because I said the same thing 25yrs ago
As a recovering alcoholic with 24 years sober that's been battling depression for over 3 decades....I can promise you this...there's light at the end of the tunnel. Everyday is battle...some good days, some bad days. Just keep fighting...it's worth it, brother. I promise.
Anytime you need a hand up, don't hesitate to ask me or anyone else. You are stronger when you ask for that hand. It's worth it. I promise.
Tom MacDonald ... thank you. I'm a 55 yr old Mom and I could have very easily lost my only child last night over a bad decision he made. He just turned 33 last week, he is in the U.S. Air Force, he is stationed in Spain right now. Your music is more than music, it's more than art ... it is a calling. I'm so grateful to you for pouring your life into your talent and sharing with all of us out here struggling. Thank you Tom MacDonald, God bless you. I'm a forever fan of your work.
God bless you and your son♥️
Let’s chat on WhatsApp please
How awful. I'm so sorry for your loss. May God comfort you under his wings during this time. 🙏🏻
Praying for your son and that he gets the support he needs.
I hope everything is alright with your son i am 57 and i love Tom's music it is so inspiring !
God helped me through my mental health. Been through so much trauma, left me hyper vigilant all the time. Was fast paced on edge hyper. After my dad committed suicide I was a alcoholic for years. God helped me be relaxed today. Contempt with myself! Through prayer, asking for forgiveness, strength, and blocking out sins, I’ve become a different person! God helped me everyday, I am so grateful for him. God bless
This song was sent to me by a lifelong friend who I haven't stayed in touch with. They knew!! I need this right now. Moving tomorrow and couch surfing. I've been sick for over a month, daily, got too sick to work and quit my job. I found out it's a gallstone, a few days ago. I bought myself a ring last week for my 55th birthday, that symbolizes believing in myself to get through this!!! Thank you for this moving song. It's my anthem right now!
I've been battling PTSD with anger issues since I got back from Iraq. This song really helps. Thanks Tom, Nova and the Hangover Gang.
Stay strong you've got this
🙏💗
Thank you so much from the bottom of my heart for your service 🙏🏻💕 sending prayers your way!
PTSD is terrible. I’ve got it too but from childhood. You have to forgive everyone including yourself first. Truly forgive and bury yesterday. Literally. Then and only then, will you come out the other side. I wrote everything about my past and burned it and buried the ashes. Then God came in and cleared up the tears. I didn’t know if I believed but OH WOW! He exists. Read the Bible. All your answers are in there! God bless you!!
Same here brother. Stay strong.
I needed this right now. I'm fighting lung cancer that has spread to my spine. I also lost my daughter to an overdose. Keep fighting.
Hugs!!!
im so sorry thingsare gonna get better your a *fighter*
prayers for you
TOM! I am a woman of almost 50. I’m a believer. And I love this song! When my kids get home I will show this to them -all 7 of them. Thanks for this song! Blessings to you and yours
Oh my goodness I can't believe I just now heard this song WOW
I have to say WELCOME WORLD. IM COMING im plugged in to his will and after the last 20 years of loosing all my children, husband, myself, etc it would rock your mind and I'm still here I feel like after hearing this ITS MY FIRST DAY. Through Christ I am a NEW CREATURE in Jesus name .
I'm a 51 year old cancer survivor (8 years). I'm missing some parts, and have scars from the fight. After a long time away, with my wife's help, I've rejoined my relationship with God.
The thoughts expressed in these lyrics are exactly what people desperately need to hear, and are denied everywhere in our culture.
Thanks, man. This video choked me up a little.
Keep up the fight. We're with you.
God bless you and Nova.
Ditto!
Struggling with depression. This song made me cry. It was just what I needed to hear today. Thank you Tom and Nova. I am a believer.
I struggle with depression too so I get where he’s coming from, and I used to be an alcoholic. Trauma works in ways we’d never know at least not without a therapist or something. The thing with me, I cry on the inside, not outside, when I do cry on the outside it’s at complete random I believe I have BPD, this is on par with scars, scars hit hard too because I believe it related to self harm aswell, which is a bigger issue than people might think. Though we may not always feel like it or feel worth it, we should definitely let the words he speaks sink in, I tell other people these same things that they’re worth it and a fighter even when I feel worthless and give up, but they feel worthless too and give up, but when they look at me, I’m worth it and not as weak as I feel, I guess looking at others with some relatable issues is like a mirror, you can know you’re worth it even when feeling worthless.
Sister, you are not alone ❤️
@@volatilemerican6746 As well, you are not alone ❤️
Hey.
Never-ending battle for me too my friend.
I hope you are healthy and safe and I pray you feel even better tomorrow.
Much love!
I had to leave work early and get in bed because of depression. It made me cry too, and seeing comments where other people are feeling the same way makes me feel less alone. Tom and Nova saving the world!
Im fighter. Im clean after 16 years of drug addiction. Jesus made me fight and ill believe that forever
Hey brother, I know you don't know me.... and I am not even sure if you will ever even read this... however I wanted you to know that I am a new listener of yours and enjoy your music and the message it brings.... today June 3rd, 2023 me and my 11 year boy were listening to your song Fighter as we worked on some things and it made him put some real-estate down, it got him to thinking and he informed me that he wanted to make a decision for Christ. Thank you for creating a song that speaks to me @ 46 and to my 11 year old boy.
God bless you my brother, may He have His hands always on your path.
🙌🙌🙌 Love ya brother!!!
Cried my face off listening to this. I needed this message, and I don’t ever get it from anyone or anywhere. This is a great mercy to many people struggling in silence Tom. Fantastic work.
Amen brother. You aren't alone. I don't know where you are in this world, but we are here together at this moment in time. Never give up, the struggle is very real, but we can battle together.
💛💛💛
Just know you can do anything, and i want you to know you are perfect.
Wish I could cry too 🤣 guess you did it for me though
God is only a prayer away, he’s been with you waiting for that call upon his holy name.
Tom, I'm 47 years old and have seen a lot of ups and downs in my life, but I'm never too old to receive this message. Thank you sir!
You’re a fighter Paul!
I absolutely agree, awesome message.
I'm 61 and never listen to ANY rap, but this guy is AWESOME with what he's trying to do through his music.
same 🤜🤛
Happy birthday
49 here.. broken and lonely after five years of divorce and still a fighter.. 🤜🤛
Just lost my brother in law, this song reminds me of him he was in battles with himself and life a lot I hope he knew I felt he was a fighter for sure! RIP Dustin Tucker! 🙏
I was bulemic for most my teenage years...then had a daughter... It's always a fight, but your song has got me through some of the loneliest times and gave me courage. I'm healthy now and she's 13. Thank you
Hey Tom, just wanted to let you know I was one of the haters/naysayers who dismissed you for a long long time, but you turned me into a fan in the last few months to the extent that I'm buying your songs, commenting & liking just to show some love. Much respect for making it not only without a label but also against all the haters you have in the charts/music industry.
Keep the bangers coming!
Hell yeah! 🤘🏻🤘🏻. HOG
This song takes me back to a time when I had no choice but to fight, after I was diagnosed with cancer, aged 15. I'm now 10 years clear, with an amazing fiancé, and 2 beautiful children ❤️.
And now you understand why the fight is worth it! Your story inspires those that think the fight is too much...your living proof it's worth it!
Congrats on your recovery!
Amazing!!!
I'm battling my own demons and you have saved my life Tom McDonald with this song Thank you
My mom use to tell me that a musician has officially “made it” when they can make someone cry from emotion. You made it! Thank you Tom!
This video make me laugh though!!
Castles and I wish did that for me
This song really hit home, so many things just got me. Like damn, he just told me my own story and that I'm strong enough to handle it and worth it. Finding that faith both out in the world and in ourselves can be hard, harder some days than others.
Facts this and (cancer song)
Whats the part that made you cry? When he did finger guns in church I presume
I'm a 33 year old first generation farmer in my third straight year of failure. Fighting the doubts and fighting the world puts you between two different wars. All I can say is I needed this... So bad... I needed to hear that I'm hanging on not for the sake of fighting but because I KNOW deep down things will be ok... I needed you and this song on THIS night to keep me believing.
You aren’t failing, you are learning. Each failure makes you smarter and more resilient. You’ve got this.
You are not alone, try to remember we can be our own worst enemies sometimes. Throw away all that trash and doubt in your head and move forward one single second, minute, hour at a time.
Everyone is going through something!!
Thank you for what you do, sir.
Nice nice
Stay strong brother
Sober since April 12th of this year! I owe it to God, myself and a little help from Tom. 🎉
I knew God was real when I was 15. My mom flipped a convertible cavalier due to having a random seizure. I was at a friends, this was before cell phones, but when I got home my mom & dad weren’t there but the whole neighborhood was in my house waiting on me. My grandma had to demand the first aid station in our town get the helicopter & get her to another city with a great hospital. They said she’d never make it but thankfully my grandma was hell on wheels! When I got to the 2nd hospital they put me in a tiny room full of supplies and my dad kept his head between his hands and all he could say was I’m so sorry. He’s a veterinarian. She flipped the car and she hit the pavement and the car landed on her. Thankfully she was in the back seat. They had gone to pick up his bronco from the mechanic and were only 3 miles from our house. If it weren’t for him she wouldn’t have made it. She was drowning in her own blood. He knew how to ram his hand down her airway and keep it open so she could get air in. 4 lanky young teenage boys saw what happened and ran out to the car. It took a few tries but those skinny boys managed to lift that car off of her and on to its side so my dad could help her more. While I was hugging my dad and telling him it’s going to be ok I noticed he was covered in her blood. The doctor came in looked at the floor and told me at age 15 and my little sister who was 12 he was sorry but our mom wouldn’t make it thru the night. I know I looked like a deer in headlights. I just sat there in shock with no emotion. My sister ran to my grandma. My dad walked out to give me a minute. My dad was actually my stepdad but the only dad I claim. I knew in that moment if my mom didn’t make it I would be forced to live with my bipolar stepmom who hates me and my sperm donor who gladly traded me off for a perfect daughter in my stepsister. It would be a living hell! But also, my mom was my best friend! I just put my head in my hands and prayed the hardest I’ve ever prayed. I told God if he’d let me keep her I didn’t care what shape she was in I’d take care of her and never complain. Just don’t take her! She spent 73 days in that hosp. The flight crew made her a scrapbook & they told her she was their miracle! No one but me thought she had a chance. They just didn’t know it wasn’t in God’s plan for her to die then. I’m now 47 and she’s just turned 70 this year! She has to use a walker & has some health problems but her mind is sharp! God knew I needed her. I fed her, had to wipe her, bathe her, etc. till she learned to use her muscles and work around the nerve damage done but she was even back driving after 1 year. She’s a quiet sweet lady that has the soul of a true fighter!
I’ve been off the drugs for 2 years. I have finally gotten custody of my kids again. I just started a new job.. I’ve never been this happy & I’ve never been sober this long. Im so grateful for this song.. I really needed this to remind myself of all the battles I’ve fought and WON. Thank you Tom, every song you release makes me love and appreciate you & Nova more than ever before. Im a believer, I believe!!! 🥊🥊🥊🥊🥊🥊🥊 HOG for life💪🏽
🥊🥊🥊🥊🥊🥊
I'm so proud of you.
You are a fucking rock star.
Congratulations! Many people don't understand what a vicious cycle drugs can create. Breaking that cycle is an achievement! Great testimony!
I’m SO proud of you!!!!! 👏👏👏❤❤❤
The common denominator of all of Tom’s songs is that people can be strong and can be fighters without violence and hatred. We can fight the system with unity and patriotism. We can fight our personal struggles with faith, support, empathy and inner strength. He is such an inspirational artist.
Agree. He sheds the light and promotes way more unity of man than I have heard from anyone else in many of years.
Finally, someone said my mind.... I was watching videos on CZcams until I came across your lovely profile. How are you doing?
There are literally tens of thousands of people in the United States that need to hear this song and take it to heart right now. Good job, Tom
I survived a terrible traffic accident at 18, it was a wonder I even survived. In 2016, I still took tramadol daily to be able to live with the pain and doctors concluded further recovery was impossible, and I would stay 15% disabled in my upper body.
I couldn't accept this fate at such a young age, I refused to live as a disabled person dependent on pain medication. I started training, revalidating, using every bit of info I could find. I perfected my diet.
It is now 2023 and I am 99% fully recovered.
Thank you for this song, it covers what I went through at a young age.
My new motivational song for my son fighting lung cancer.Bless you.I hope you realize the good you do....✝️
YASS!!!! This one hits home! I’m in recovery! “Almost died trying to get here, got high through my best years. Got sober then I relapsed, then I cleaned up got my head clear” My story as a former addict!! Thank God He pulled us out and made us FIGHTERS!!! Congratulations Tom! You’re killing it 😆
I was a light addict and heavy user in my teens. After 2 ODed Friends, close ones left behind, and family that saw me almost wither away or graduate into a hard timer; I am mostly friendless & family distant today.
Through out the years I met people, who said I could enjoy a couple drinks or this thing or that thing responsibly like a lot of people do, and they have a point.
But I would truly rather die than to touch anything that rapes & steals my control away from me again, so it's Straight Edge for life, from then on.
But, a lover/friend would be good, IMO.
Life is already hard as it is with so much power against us, no need in making it harder for ourselves.
Song is dope though (no pun intended).
Inspiring story, we need more of these successes! The message is "never give up, bet on yourself and you'll get there". Once a FIGHTER, always a FIGHTER.
Perfect song for sooo many people fighting addictions or mental health issues!! Usually hand and hand!!! I love it!!!
@@Ilike2peopleandallthedogs I was watching videos on CZcams until I came across your lovely profile. How are you doing?
This song put me in tears. Going through life, watching my husband struggle with cancer, chemo and the sickness. Thank God he never gave up and I am fortunate to still have him. Many family I have lost to addiction sickness...thank you for this song Tom..from my whole heart.
So happy to hear this! #Fighter #HOG
My family will pray for you husband and family.
He was declared in remission in July! Thank you for your kind words❤️
Omg, my oldest daughter is going through a divorce and my youngest daughter just finished her last surgery for breast cancer, which she was diagnosed with at 29 years old. This is the first time I've heard this song and bawled like a baby. I was a single father with custody of my daughters from ages 1 and 3. This song epitomizes everything and all the strength I believe my girls to have. And all the strength i've tried to instill in them. Thank you Tom.
Thank you Tom for literally saving my life!! I came across a short you did, it hit me in my soul. Then I searched for the song that broke the internet... "Ghost" popped up. This song played instead. My depression was getting the better of me... here I am repeating this song!! Thank you, please keep speaking and singing and rapping from your heart to mine!! God Bless your soul!! Amen!!!
Same, Tom saved my life!
Hugs 🫂
Tom has also sved my life multiple times with his music. AMEN!!
This message is exactly what we need as a society right now. A big dose of hope, positivity, and faith.
Absolutely. Anyone could relate to this message.
Battling major depression disorder, PTSD, Anxiety, ect., blah blah. What an inspirational song. I needed this in this moment so much. Thank you Tom.
Keep fighting!
@@bcc7777 thank you. I am trying and I am a believer indeed.
When things get tough, remember to JUST BREATHE, tomorrow is another day
Prayers for you man i have bad anxiety to the point it took over my life and so were in this together I pray god takes it out of you
@@Warrior1_ thank you. Need the prayers and truly appreciate them. God Bless you.
Thanks Tom!! This song was "given " to me by my amazing son about a month maybe less after my husband (his soul dad) passed away. I didn't even make it to the 2nd line in the chorus. Music has always been our way of communicating with each other. When we didn't have the words to express our feelings. So this song does that for my boy. And helped heal his mama's heart. So a heart felt ty from a mom
Hugs 🫂
I am sober minded 24/7 and I still have ups and downs; "Adversaries". The chapters of my life so far have been more of disappointing results, but God told me why in a moment of time; Adversaries; all those who work against God...they are not HERE to bless, give, guide be the mentor they should, forgive, be merciful, along with many other God like characteristics. Anti-Christs; full of Darkness and Deceptions: God; Full of Light and where we all get our spirit of Freedom and Love from. "It is up to you in what you do with and in your HAVE". God is watching and listening to all.
Man, I doubt Tom will ever read this, but I just need to thank him. I've been struggling with things a lot lately, and just putting on a happy face. Shit's gotten dark, but I kept pushing on. Today was especially bad. This song was absolute perfection for where I'm at right now.
Chin up, so many of us are with you in your struggles. You are promised that you will never face a struggle you are not strong enough to overcome. You already took the most important step by putting a smile on your face. You have got this. ❤
FACTS!!! SAAAAAAAAME THO
Believe in yourself and your power to make great change in your life. If it’s hard for you to believe in yourself and know that you are here for a purpose… ask you Angels to show you. They will. Fake faith if you have to, keep doing it and before you know it you will have it and you will see your own inner beauty and power.
Hey Ligma, don't know if Tom will see it either, but we do. Hang in there, you can beat whatever it is. We all got each other in this thing.
Thanks for sharing with us your struggles, u've got this. I've been where you're at and I'm a survivor and u can be too. Tho at times I still struggle, I have faith that God will help me thru. Believe and it shall be granted. Prayers for u my friend.
I'm just a small town Canadain guy but I just got clean this year... I was locked up for years and was a no good bastard... all of your songs have spoken to me and they get me through each day... but this song just broke me... I can't thank you enough for what you do... I promise I'd be dead if I never heard your music. But I'm clean and sober 8 months now. Please don't ever stop. H.O.G
Props
Hey man we're here with you. We're all in this together.
❤
Congratulations on 8 months clean!!! That is HUGE !!! Keep on FIGHTING
stay strong
I have just recently “found” your music. I don’t know how you have managed to get inside my head, heart and soul, but your music reaches my very depths of what I’m feeling or going through. Just when I think my life has been touched so deeply by one song, I go to the next one and I’m just as blown away as from the last song. That’s a God thing. God is using you, dude. It’s awe-inspiring. I’m grateful and y’all are in my prayers.❤️🙏☝🏼. Keep on keeping on!
I fought depression and anxiety for 60 years. It still creeps in periodically at age 71. Thank you! We all need this message!
If you are still here, YOU are a fighter.
See this right here is why Tom is the goat. You're 71, I'm 58 and another person commenting that i saw is 17. He brings all of us together.
@@michelerowell4028 this is why we are the real hog gang doesn't matter how old you are we come together for the same reason
Sixty years in hell and you are still swinging? You make me believe. ♥
I’m 49 and I share his music with every generation in my family. This comment thread is perfect! He holds no punches and says it like it is. I thank my BFF every time he drops a record. Actually going to text her now! 😁👍
No hype, managers, marketing team...AMAZING TALENT!!!
This song came out the month and year I was escaping my abuser, he beat me 10-9-2022 I had to wait until Thanksgiving to leave him it was the only way I could leave to see my family even though I begged him to come with me I'm glad he didn't he stole from me took everything I had and destroyed it this song came out when the week before I left him last year, I listen to it almost daily now and ball my eyes out every time, he told me my prayers by don't work but I pray every time I play this song and all I can do is cry and break down because I know this song is my prayer and God heard me. Thank you Divine for making such a beautiful soul who truly knows the fight for life is real. I wouldn't be alive if I didn't have a fighting spirit to know such love is real. Thank you!! Thank you! Thank you!
He didn't take everything. You're still here. The best revenge ❤
You're Heaven sent. Thank you for being you ❤ this world needs you Tom...Thank JESUS you're here.
It's kinda funny how someone can write and sing a song about you and you haven't even met them.
Thank you Tom Macdonald.
#HOG4LIFE
I feel the exact same way!
Right?!
Grieving so hard for my husband of 22 yrs who died recently. Wanting to give up. But this song reminded me that I am a fighter, and I can get through this because I am strong and I am a believer. Thank you Tom. I think this song will mean different things to different people and will help many get through whatever they are going through.
Absolutely you are! You’ve got this! Your husband is watching over you and protecting you from above❤❤❤ You can absolutely get through this💪🏻🏆
I'm so very sorry for your loss friend!! I could only imagine losing my wife,etc..Prayers up and away for u!! I lost both of my parents last September due to drugs and a car accident,sadly they were only 55 and dad was 56. Stay safe out there and keep ur strong jewd up friend..
Definitely know where you're coming from. We lost our son in a accident Thanksgiving day. Will be 7 yrs now. He just turned 22 day before. Tom did an outstanding job on this one. The grief is really hard at times. But you definitely are a fighter and people like us got your back and know what it's like. God bless. Stay strong.
The people we miss are looking down on us with love.
I became a widow at 31. I know what it's like. It's still hard. Especially after the abuse of a man I though I was lucky to find after my husband died.
Pixie, hang in there.
14 years old and I sang this and now 68 and I still sing it and asked God to continue to hold my hand on this walk……….. Look Hollywood no meds ever… I love me and I am a believer that I am a fighter 2023
I'm a Cancer Survivor this year of "20" Years!!!!! Life is NOT easy. It feels that we are born to fight. I went through Brain surgery last May and lost complete hearing in my left ear and now sadly I am facing the same Brain Surgery again NOW! I face so many issues with Anxiety, Depression, and more but one thing I know is I am a Survivor! What I have come to realize is it keeps going...You don't just survive a scenario and return to normal. We are not the same, we are made to go through situations for reasons we may not know or understand so Thank You for reminding us all that we are capable, worthy and to stop and look around. There is room/opportunity for humanity to promote kindness, humbleness and to realize we are ALL fighting to live, breathe and exist. We have to do Better❤
This song made me cry. Someone who has taught herself how to survive since she was four because her parents did the bare minimum. Someone who is fighting PTSD everyday because she was abused in every possible way and finally had the courage to tell someone only to be abused by “help.” Decided to give her only parent a chance, her mother died when she was nine, to only be kicked out a year later. She might have a job and a home now, but she has fears, ideations, and paranoia for the rest of her life….this song means the absolute world to me. Thank you so much and I have been listening to your music since I was 16 (19 in a month). It helps me form my own opinions and not be scared to have them even if I don’t always agree with your opinion, but I still love your music 😊
It's not how you start life, it's how you finish. You might like listening to Joyce Meyer. She was abused as a child. God bless.
Pstay strong young one there's so much to life sorry you were delt a wrong hand
I'm sorry, honey.
sending hugs ❤️
🤘🏼
I just lost my mom last month and my grandma earlier this year. This song is something I needed to hear. Thank you Tom. I love this song
Hang in there, my friend. Keep fighting.
I completely understand what you are going thru. I lost my dad in Feb and my grandmother passed a couple weeks ago. 😢
H.O.G. is here for you brother!
Thank you Tom!
Condolences to you and your family. I pray you find peace and solace during this rough time.
I lost my dad this year. And my mom in 2012. My step dad almost two years ago. My family tree is more like a branch now and lonely.
I heard this song shortly after having cancer surgery last Sept...
Perfect inspiration for me...
I fought addiction for many yrs...
I beat that demons azz...
I've been sober for 13yrs...
Now I'm fighting harder for my lyf then ever before...
Everyday is a battle as that devil "C" word wants my LAST breath after taking almost everything from me already...
It can't take WHO I AM or these words that keep me strong!!!
THANK YOU TOM!!!
Love you Nova & Tom for loving us!!!

This song makes me think of my stage 4 heart failure I had 5 open heart surgeries & 3 devices in my heart 1st L-Vad Than a Defibrillator that ended up giving me blood poisoning, now a Titanium plug in my heart to plug the hole from the L-VAD I never needed for 2 in a half years. I thank God I am here & got 2nd advice from Froedtert hospital that saved my life in 6 months. this song I listen to everyday that reminds me of my Heart attack at age 27 a stroke same age. This makes me feel more empowered for thankfully beating stage 4 heart failure. THANK YOU, TOM, FOR THIS BEAUTIFUL SONG & ALL YOUR MUSIC!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Another absolute 🔥 song and very uplifting.... 447 days ago I heard withdrawals the first time and ive been sober 443 days now thanks to you and your powerful words alongside with HOG thats been so supportive ❤ . Much love to you Tom Nova and HOG
Keep pushing on, and may you be blessed as I'm sure you have already noticed; you are blessed!
So so proud to hear this. Seeing others prosper is truly the best. Keep pushing friend!
I most definitely will keep fighting.. before I never really had something to fight for but I do now. HOG is like a second family to me, the love and support from everyone for everyone is amazing
@Chad it really has been an amazing experience finding this incredible group of people.
We believe in you bro! Keep up the amazing work, HOG is a family that never turns its back on each other, we’re always here to support you!
Wasn't planning on crying this morning, but here we are. Thank you Tom. Thank you for staying, Thank you for your words. Thank you for caring.
I was watching videos on CZcams until I came across your lovely profile. How are you doing?
I know. He did it to me too, again!
THIS SONG PULLED ME THROUGH THE WORST PART OF MY STRUGGLE. TODAY I CELEBRATE TRIPLE DIGITS. 100 DAYS CLEAN FROM MY ADDICTION. THANK YOU TOM.
Dear Tom…I’m very proud of you as a mother of my only son…a 36 yr old self taught musician, (drums, guitar, keyboards). He is also the father of my only 4 yr old granddaughter ❣️ I AM A BELIEVER…and I want to say God Bless YOU son, your family, and all of your musical endeavors to come 🫶🏼🙏🏼💯💜❤️🦋👍🥰🌸🌼🇨🇦🇨🇦
LOVE THIS!! As a mental health and drug/alcohol therapist, I share your songs with clients CONSTANTLY! You are living proof of hope, love for every one in equal measure and the infinite value and capacity of ALL OF US!! You speak to everyone in such personal ways that it can only come from having lived, survived and thrived! God bless you and Nova and all your loved ones!!!
Really helping me climb out of this binge.
@@twofoots5955 everything is better on the other side. It's not easy getting there, staying on the same path you're on is easy. But you know where that's leading. Fixing yourself is hard and a lot of it sucks. But I think you're worth it. I will be praying for you.
That is awesome
I love this video it is one of my favorites now.
@Cheryl P I'm retired, art therapist and lic counselor. I wish you the best, bc I look around and thank God I'm not practicing anymore. I feel like we might be in bizarro world
I'm a 55 yr old nana. Dude Keep going don't ever stop. You are a genius without rapping bout murder hos bitches. You have a God given talent and are a true poet up there with Bob Dylan!!!!!!!!
Never stop speaking the truth.
6 years clean and sober today Tom 🙏 this song, along with many others have gotten me through especially these past few years so thank you ❤ van life girl from HOG
Proof the rap community can be an uplifting and have a positive impact on the world. Beautiful song.
This isn't the rap community, it's one band that is shining truth into the darkness!
@@tinach7020 Tom is awesome.
I second that emotion
TOM.... TOM..... TOM, from a 48 year old mother of 5, who has struggled through homelessness, depression, domestic violence, drug addiction and survived it all, thank you! Sending oodles of love and hope your way. ❤
It's nice to see people making music saving lives.
My wife is 33 and battling breast cancer. It's an aggressive form. It's the scariest thing my little family has ever gone through. Yr music helps us so much brother.. this song and yr cancer song speak right to our hearts. No matter what the future holds for my wife, at least We will always have yr music, thank u for that gift.
My prayers for you and yours 🙏
Prayers for u and ur wife

AFUCKINMEN!!!!!
Made my world different in less than four minutes bro
I believe Tom and Nova don’t know how much they are needed in the world today!❤
So very true...Tom and Nova are brilliant and talented
Thanks tom I was diagnosed with brain cancer back in September
Man, I'm 40, and just had my first kid. My life was a wasteland of drugs and alcohol and trouble. This song really hits hard, and it's this kind of attitude that pulled me through. The kids need this song, thank you Tom.
Needed that so freakin bad today. Thank you crew for the positivity and love. Love y'all.
As a vet with depression , a husband of a Bi-Polar wife, and a dad to 3 kids that have to worry about it. This song is so much Hope. Thanks Tom , Nova, and Hangover Gang.
I know you vets hate to hear it but thanks for your service
Im in this boat too man. IGY6 if you need it

Am I the only one noticing the revival of belief in a higher power, and these people like Tom Mcdonald and so many others our fighting for our country and our souls. God Bless you and yours.
As a hard-core Christian, who loves the gospel and hymns. And doesn't really like any of this contemporary modern church music. I honestly believe that Tom's song here should and will be added to the hymnal books in the future. We live in biblical times folks, and Tom makes songs relevant and transcribing the cycles of life/ mind that every person is battling with... this is a beautiful song Mr Tom and Ms Nova... thank you for blessing us with it... you two are important, more than you know or, might even realize... this song will be added to the hymns one day. I'll make sure of it... God bless you two, and God bless everyone else...
I'm six months sober today, and that is largely thanks to you and your music. Thank you.
Awesome job!
1 day at a time brother. I thought it was impossible at first and now have 11 years.
congrats , its not easy but you should be proud of yourself
Almost a year at 11+ months, the Last night I ever drank was the day after my Pap had Passed away. Took a toll on me but I ultimately remembered he was always a fighter as well, had to carry that on. Keep pushin bud. Proud of you.
Don't stop fighting
As a Veteran of the USMC and recovering alcoholic, some of you artistry is so inspirational to me...This how a much deeper version of you...this song represents hope, belief in self and even inspires betterment of self. TOM you are so much more than even you allow yourself to be...so much more in Tom to see and I for one am enjoying the ride...Thanks for all you do Tom and thank you Nova for backing this man and his works and for all your amazing video talent..

A rapper who is actually trying to help people! ❤❤
This magical piece of music should be made into a prayer!!
I believe Tom!! Thank you for being so open and honest and making such a profound piece of music....
Celebrating 20 months of sobriety today, and this song is on repeat! Thanks so much, Tom!! I'm a fighter!🥊🥊🥊🥊🥊🥊
Congratulations 🎉 Praying for you 🙏

Congratulations, that is amazing! Keep up that work!
I grew up with alcoholic narcissistic parents and I'm working to unlearn all the negativity I was given. I got this ✊🏻 H.O.G ❤️ Thanks for being real Tom 🙌🏻
You might like and find helpful the content on YT from Crappy Childhood Fairy. I have no affiliation with her channel, just saw your comment and thought to share what I found helpful and useful. Hang in there!
You got this - Remember nothing will make you feel better than genuinely helping others, expecting nothing in return.
Wow what an amazing statement! The fact that you realize you have the power to deny that toxic past as not your responsibility and you can make a life for yourself far from the stain of that is so incredible and strong, God bless 🙏🏻💕
Sounds like we have similar backgrounds. Know that you are not alone and never let the past damage you so badly that you become the monster you grew up with. So many people with our backgrounds end up repeating the cycle but I have faith that with your awareness you will continue to survive and rise above. For that you should be very proud of yourself. ❤
Just think of all youve already gone through? What can stop you now? Everything jus makes you stronger!
