I have no idea how a 56 year old guy stumbled on this song today. As I sit here in tears at my office getting ready to go back to sit with my dying mother I want to thank you.
im sorry! sounds like you are going thru a lot right now. Prayers for you and your mom!
*hugs dear. Sorry for the hard time... You really want to follow Tom macdonald and Nova Rockafeller.. and you are gopnna have a range of emotion... these are IMO some of the last REAL ppl left.. #hog
Listen to Tom Mac Donald cancer a lot of both of there stuff hits home
We people stumble onto a lot of things we don't know why, but God knows why & what we need at the time. God bless you & praying for your Mother! 🙏❤
awe
This may sound odd... But I just want to be friends with Nova and Tom. They just seem like solid people.
Same here....TRUTH shines from them both
Likewise. Grounded people.
I've recently expressed the same sentiment...they seem like a great couple to be neighbors with...just solid folks you'd love to have a conversation with over the back fence.
Completely agree
Why does that sound odd? All true fans do. They loves all of us tho
This song hit me hard. I was a raging alcoholic but I finally got sober. After I commented below, soon after everything changed. I got my family back. My kids have told me many times how proud they are of me and that they forgive me. They know that I am doing my best. When my son’s team lost their playoffs, I sent my son a text from this song. “Son, I know you did your best. I know there’s more to you than the wars you lose, you’ll see.” Thank you for giving those words. Through this song, I finally found a way to forgive myself for all that I have done. I now have the ability to be the father I want to be without the shame. I cannot understate how your work helped me. One day, when things are going wrong, I want you to remember that YOUR work brought this broken old man back from a bad place. I can’t help but think God will bless you as you blessed me.
May God keep you on the path you're steering toward. This living stuff is hard on everyone.
Amen.
I am so proud of you. And very happy for you. ✨
1000 days Feb. 28th.
@@sleeperno1215 Congrats! Be proud of you and what you're accomplishing
Nova, I’m 63, my Naval-pilot dad was killed in a passenger MAC flight when I was 12. Mom was diagnosed w/ MS in the 80s. She died in ‘99. I’m here to tell you “there’s more to YOU than the wars you lose,” too!! The pain of that trauma will never leave - but love makes it bearable!! God bless you & Tom!!♥️
❤❤❤❤
I’m a fifty year old women that just started listening to you and Tom...I’m bawling like a baby listening to this song...I married, had children and got Divorced young ... my kids tell me they know I did my best, but as a parent you always feel you could’ve done better...thank you for this great song!! I wish nothing but the best for you and Tom...you two are a little power couple!!!
I am 50 too. All my old and young large extended family love these two.
This is actually about her family. She wrote it after her father died in the accident. Then her grandmother died of Parkinson's a week before they shot the video. She's since sat on this song and video for a while not sure she was ready to be an artist again. She was signed to the music label Def Jam and her big dream turned into a nightmare. I'm happy she's sharing her art again, and her and Tom together are building an empire. This song makes me cry so much.
Your comment made me tear up!!! Blessings to you
Girl this hit me hard too . 56 here , 5 kids. Feeling some kind of way and i find this song . Hit the nail on the head .
If you could have done better, you would have. You did amazing :)
For all you science lovers out there, this is what a supernova is.
It's nice to know we've come so far with technology that we can witness one so close without being blinded.
Lol. Yes
@@randalldandy speak for yourself. Her beauty is absolutely blinding
U the big smarts
Yes.
She pours her heart into her work. It's unbelievable and beautiful at the same time
Tom Mcdonald wrote it
How do you know that??@@huntershoot101
Yesterday was my dads 83 birthday he has Párkinson and is recovering from Covid, we thought he was not going to make it and I let him know how wonderful he made my life and 2 brothers that he should have zero regrets as he is the best dad I could have asked for, just found this after listening to Tom and wow it hit home. I just pray I am doing the best I can for my 18 year old son as he is my world.
❤❤❤
I miss my wife..... 1976-2019 Rest in peace.
So sorry for your loss 😪 prayers 🙏
🙏🏼
So sorry to hear that 🙏🙏 ill be praying for you
Miss mine too. 1981-2016 FUCK CANCER!
@Damien Dingus its not at all that easy
This girl is the real deal. enough of the fkng singing about money and clothes n shit. We need more real music like this.
Absofuckinloutletly 🤘🤘 love her and Tom's music. They are awesome. #HOG for life
you mean like back when music was good and had a point and passion? not just "ive got money and cars and i need attention for it to validate my own self worth bullshit"?
Yes please 🙏🏻
Apparently Snow tha product is getting a lot of hype but she ain't saying shit that ain't been said a thousand times and she is getting all the tats to symbolize that she is bought and paid for. We need more artists like Nova and Tom who are a product of their upbringing, not a plastic rapper in a plastic wrapper spitting bullshit 🤘🤘
Amen no more song about bitches whores and clubs po and fucking money
This song breaks my heart. Both my parents were addicts. Raised by my grandparents. My grandfather died unexpectedly, and i never got to have that sit down talk with him. This literally brought me to tears. Love you Nova, Tom. God bless yall
Gotta love Nova and Tom, gems of the word weavers and storytelling
You can tell she poured her fucking soul into this one.
Such a beautiful soul!
Yes, you could feel it.
Yes You can feel all the lyrics are so from her soul bearing witness to her truth. The authenticity is what is so needed and I respect 🙌🙏that
Like every one.
@@dannyb3663 Let me explain it so you can understand it a bit easier... She sang that song with amazing feeling and no not everyone can do that. Singing alone is not a talent everyone possess but when someone can sing it with such feeling that the person listening feels it so deeply is RARE. Calm down Karen
"But There's more to you than the wars you lose, you'll see" Damnnnn that hit me.
@E E Me too. It stopped me in my tracks
Same here. Such a powerful line.
Agreed 100%
I just found Tom and Nova a week ago and these two are killing it , these 2 are going far 👏
i dont understand it
Great message in a fantastic song from a wonderfully talented young lady!
"i know you have nothing left, but there's more to you than the wars you lose, you'll see"
So this is the woman behind the man Tom McDonald. She’s beautiful and her music is intriguing 💖💜
@John Roberts well it makes sense because she is the creator of all Tom's videos. But yeah,both are lyrical geniuses.
She's been around a long time.. She had a mainstream song.. Turned her back on the " establishment" music scene.. She's a genius
isn't she something!! adorable too
Yes 13 years as friends but more than that for 4 years I believe..I love her music
Is her and Tom a couple or are they just friends?
You and Tom inspire way more people than you could ever imagine.
Preach as they do!
Yes!!
yes they do!!
Yesssss 😭♥️
That one really hit home. Thank you!
NOVA. I don't do social media but I just want you to know... I've been fighting social norms and judgement and all the hurts for 30 years. It's time the comments weren't momentary flesh and crucifixion. You're amazing as your boy and you compliment each other completely. I pray you see this and know... all real women think and feel like you. Thank you.
This song and Nova is the example of talent and excellence, something the mass radio, record labels and communication dont deserve nor promote.
People love this because she's not selling you anything; she's telling a story. Stories are powerful.
reminds me of what it's like by everlast. in the storytelling way.
@@emilys.7953 yes!
Absolutely, agreed! ❤
Best. Comment. Ever. 💙
Correct.
In a world full of fake music and fake news Tom and Nova somehow brings us real music and real news.. Thanks you too HOG
Couldn't agree more!!
But no music is.. fake? Some is less meaningful, sure. But it has its audience. This is okay, but I prefer more clever lyrics tbh. Its pretty basic. Still, it has its audience.
@@runthemeows1197 CNN has an audience too.
@@billysnider4824 are you comparing political misinformation to.. music without meaningul lyrics? Do music have to have lyrics to be "real music"? Can it be instrumental only? Id also like to mention that while this song is decent, most genres have songs with meaningful lyrics. You not enjoying something doesnt make it less real music lol. My grandma wouldnt call this song real music, as an example.
Started listening to their music a lot within the last few months. I think they speak a lot of truth and I've been obsessing over how great their music is. I want to share it with everyone but not everyone agrees with some of the content... Either way, this song is now one of my favorites.
Just wanted to say "You are all in my family's prayers!". " Stay Strong for your man!" Sounds like a good song name and subject ,especially nowadays in this crazy world environment.......it's yours!
If an artist can make an old school punk of 54 hard living years cry....that artist is spirituality gifted with some juice from God. Nova is one of the creators little jewels with a lot of glow.
Wow. It's dusty as heck in here. This really hits home. I used to resent my dad for working 16-hour days and never being around. Until later in life, when I realized he was just doing this to keep food on our table. He worked hard and long and left us way too soon.
I hear that... I’m glad I was able to tell him how much I appreciated everything he did for us before he got hit with Parkinson’s really hard this past year... you don’t know until you know, you just hope it’s not to late
Same man same.
Ugh. This made me tear up. My husband works the second shift and if I didn't homeschool our son he'd never see his dad. I'm glad you understand your dad loved you and that's why he worked so hard. ❤
Sorry for your loss. My Dad was never home either. He was trying to build a company to give us when we got older. He put his life into that company before a bigger company killed his dreams.
I am one of those dad's , especially in today's context there is no choice but to do the only job that is available which is driving food delivery gig jobs (3) for 14-17 hrs a day just to make sure the bills are being met. I am glad you have come to an understanding that your father was doing it to keep your family afloat. I sure wish as a Chef de Cuisine that I was not in a place where I have to spend my days delivering late night fast food orders, but it is what it is.
"there's more to you then the wars you lose, you'll see." People need this right now. Great song Nova.
... *AGREED* ‼️🙌🏻 I pray she may also print her quote on a tee for us to purchase immediately ... ... *PLEASE* ⁉️🙏🏻 ~ With ✊🏻 ... ☮️ ~ #️⃣SpecialNeeds®️Special2️⃣Me 🧎🏻♀️👨🏻🦼👨🏼🦯 👩🏻🎓👩🏻🦯 🧑🏼🦽🧎🏻
Best line
It’s very hard to feel this way some time.
I know a lot of people who need to hear that quote right now...as soon as I'm out of fakebook jail it's getting posted, of course with full credit to Nova, since I found Tom MacDonald early last year I haven't gone back to the mainstream garbage, my mind has been much clearer since
@@mathewvonderaujr5694 . Why even go back to Facebook? Just imagine how much clearer and happier you'll be with out all that drama.
My Gram just died about two weeks ago. She was an amazing woman. Her husband walked out on her and her 12 children. She would walk to work to support them, she gave up so much for them, and when she got older most of them turned their back on her. My mom stayed beside her the entire time she was in the hospital. My gram did the best she could do her whole life for her and her kids
Just found this too..I'm 67yo..bawling..love her and Tom❤❤
She really just made my grown man ass tear up....
Same here bud same here that hit me in my emotions like crazy and that usually never happens
Don't feel bad, same here. She has a lovely voice and her feeling really shines through this one.
Really pulled at the heart strings
Teared up on my couch right now with my baby son. That was some real shit I was not expecting. Damn
She just tried to be kind.
Who else been waiting for the last 30min for the song to drop. I literally pulled over the work truck when 11 hit lol.
Same
Fudging fan boy. Aint nothing wrong with that. Unless you neglected to use your turn signal. Then screw you! Lol
I feel you I've been sitting in a box truck for a solid 45
Maybe you lost someone you love, or maybe even a part of yourself; I'm here for you, I love you ❤
Nova Rockafeller is a GENIUS.
My father died when I was 7. I can't remember what his voice sounded like. I'm 49 years old now. And I want my Daddy.
@Marianne Lynn Latjow I am so sorry for your lose. Can’t imagine growing up without my wonderful but flawed father. My Daddy died last year at 88. I am 60 and I hear his voice constantly. Nobody nobody I want my Daddy.
@@iamjustsaying4787 I'm very sorry for you losing your father. The first years are hardest but then you learn to live again. Yet they're always with us. Maybe next time you hear him, answer back. You may be surprised at the response
My husband died on 4-4-16, at 33 years old. Our daughters were 3 and 4 at the time. I have done everything that I can to show them videos, pictures, and tell them my memories. Even though he died very early, I still want our children to know what a happy and healthy relationship looks/looked like. We were a happy and loving family. Even though he is no longer physically here, I use our memories together to set "expectations of what to look for in a partner" for our daughter's future.
That is what Heaven's for. Don't worry be happy, all your loved ones are, so be happy that they are in a much happier place.
@@soozieq697 they're lucky they have that to remember their father with for you to remember your husband with a very sorry that you lost him so young that's rough that's really rough. My mom died when she was 39 so I've known death since I was old enough to understand what it was. And I remember that day that I did understand. I was four
Girl!!! That first part did me in. My oldest son was diagnosed with autism......at 3 years old, he functioned at a 9 month old level. I accepted that he would always be with me until he was an adult, that he would never get married or have a job and I was ok with that. He passed away in 2015 at 6 years old. I try to stay strong for my other kids but it's hard. Thank you for pouring your heart out into this one. ❤
Of my four sons, two of them have autism. It's not easy, but we love them greatly. If we were to lose them, our hearts would shatter. My heart goes out to you for your loss.
Im autistic as well, along with daughter. She is 3 and not at the verbal stage she should be. We worry constantly and sometimes it feels like she wont get there, but me and daddy help keep each others spirits up. So sorry for your loss of your beautiful son.
Im so sorry to hear that ❤️
So sorry for your lost... YOUR message did me in. One autistic son. Lost another one as well. We are not strong as they think we are, we are just surviving and make do... we do our best. Sending hugs.
Sorry for your loss. I love how my friend say about her autistic child . She is a butterfly with different wings , still just as magical and beautiful she just fly different then the rest of us
I'm 52 and I can't stop the tears, independent songs from the soul love it.
What a pleasant surprise! An absolute powerhouse of a duo. You stand all on your own, Nova. Brilliant
Nova I want a shirt that says "There's more to you than the wars you lose", that shit HIT!!
Definitely
Hel yes
💯
Powerful words.
Yesss!
My Grandmother died of Parkinson's this past November. This song has me sobbing. Thank you for giving words to my feelings and finally getting me to left the grief out.
prayers for you and your family !! so very sorry for your loss.
My Dad did too... I never got a chance to be there to help care for him.. I was adopted really little and didn't do a family search until 6 years ago and by the time I found him he had passed away just days before I reunited with my family
Im so sorry for you I'm praying
@@chuckroelofsphotography im so so sorry for you its ok
She’s lookin down on you with a smile man, keep going
Yesterday, I lost ny dad to a year long battle with cancer. This song has meant so much to me this past year... Especially today. Thank you Nova. This song is beautiful. ♥️
I just wanna say to Tom and Nova yall need to promote novas music more. I have listened to Tom for over 3 yrs now and only new her for producing his music. And seems I have been missing out . Great talent and love both of your music
I lost my hero, my dad, a few months ago from Parkinson's. He was still fighting to be a good father till the end.
😭 I am so sorry
Aw, man, that is HARSH. Sorry to hear it!
May he RIP. Praying for strength and healing.
So sorry about your dad. I’m blessed to still have mine around. He’s my best friend. I don’t know what I would do without him. Parkinson’s is an absolutely horrible thing and I really hope you were able to cherish your last memories with him and I hope he remembered every second of it .
I'm sorry.
Anyone else start to tear up in the first 30 seconds ?
🙋♀️😭
yup
Oh yeah
Yessss😭
I'm not crying your crying...😪
You and your man are saving lives dont stop
In 2013 I lost my mother and my brother 1 week apart it broke me and the road back has been very hard for me. I am 50 years old and still learning to cope with the loss 9 years latter. This song gave me such an emotional release you got power in your words and in your heart you are a shinning star God bless you!!!
This is absolutely amazing 🙏🏼
Your sure right about that Church!&Can't believe I'm the 1st to see your comment from an hr ago lucky me haha!🤘😜Seriously,its you&Tom who brought myself back to hip hop this last year or so🤔Cuz y'all be on some good shit&we love it!&I havent yet watched your latest huge drop"The Rise Of Upchurch"yet,which hell yeah bout that!😀But I haft to wait&have it planned for this weekend with the wife on different sceduals ya know,when we'll actually have some time to kick back&watch it together finally with popcorn&sheits😏As she would kill me if I watched it without her lol😏But I know its goin be some sure fire!🔥Yeah you&than Tom&Nova stay at the very top of our favorites list🏆🥇Your both gold legends dropping them truth bombs in style🤠Like maybe you&Tom could get on another track with Nova as well😃would be legit!🙏But either way,hope you all keep the good stuff coming for us&much love&respect skin🤘😎...
Sup Church
ive listened to this on loops for the past 3 days.
Her whole album is 🔥🔥
@@rowdyredroostr4580 . I had about given up on Hip Hop until I too found Tom last year. I can't get enough of him. His music has changed my outlook on life and trying to be more positive. I also found this dude 2 days ago that I'm really enjoying too. His name is Cal Scruby. I haven't come across one of his songs I don't like yet. He reminds me of a cross between Tom and Jack Harlow. He's worth checking out.👍
Well, now I've got to add Nova to the growing list of artists I unfortunately had no idea were out there. Seriously, how is it that the radio seems to be filled with garbage when there is talent like this out there. So glad I have come across your music. You are amazing keep it up!
They refused to be signed by a label. Nova was signed by Def Jam records but got screwed over."hey you" by Nova is a track just for them and its amazing. Tom wrote the chorus for it and produced the whole thing.
Facts and facts 💯👏🙌😌👌
Fr
Amen to that!!
Both her and tom pretty awesome
I realize I am late to this. I just lost my grandma this past summer. She fought through so many medical issues over the last few years. She was the glue that held our family together. Now that she is gone a huge piece is missing. I am sitting in my office trying not to lose it. The holidays will never be the same. Over the last few years we havent been able to get together as a family because of the pandemic. We had just started having get togethers again this year. It's all she wanted was for the family to be together. She did her best and absolutely has nothing to be ashamed of. She was a rock. Steadfast in her faith and family.
I try not to laugh and cry everyday looking like a weirdo, losing my dad in 15 and my baby brother in 21. Mortality is gonna happen but we all have our feelings about it and I cry everyday about losing both because unconditional love has taught me there's no yesterday to losing those you love. Thank you for being unique and personal
My Dad died at 60 yrs old 30 yrs ago. He grew up in the thirties in a large Family . He was the oldest .He wanted to go to school . But because he was the oldest he had to go to work very young. His brothers got their education and had successful careers while he had to slave away working in small town Papermill along side with racist a holes. I I never got to say 'I knew you did your best' but I did say I love you before he died . Appreciate your Parents they did their best.
I lost my dad almost four years ago. It was two days before father's day. He could barely speak by that point so I asked my Mom if I wrote a letter to him if she would read it too him for Father's Day. (I couldn't be with him because of lack of finances and childcare) Sadly, he passed before I could pour my heart out to him. Like you, I did get to tell him that I loved him a few hours before he went unconscious. Miss him so much... 😔
I grew up with my mother, who had NPD, ( narcissists personality disorder), she abused me in every way . I didn't know why, but I knew she had an awful childhood too. We fought eachother constantly, and I skipped state at age 16, before she killed me. Now at age 44, and just out of an abusive 16 year relationship from hell, ( I was moved state and was locked on a house for 4 years by my ex.), I basically had to live thru what she did, to understand her, and how she got her personality disorder , ( from childhood ptsd too, I have BPD - borderline personality disorder). I haven't seen her or any of my family for nearly 5 years now. I've had 9 months to process the damage done to me, and am finally living life !!! I slipped thru the system here, got no psychological help as promised , but I have healed myself, basically!! My goal is to go home, and have a much needed heart to heart with my mother before she passes. I pray I'm not too late 😓😓😓💝💝💝
@@helenwoods1467 😥and🙂, hope you make it.❤
He is still watching...he is proud
I wasn't expecting to fall in love with this song. It's so real and hit me right in the chest. My husband used to leave his work boots in the walkways all the time, seemed I tripped on them at least once a day. It's been over four years now, and I still wish I'd trip over them one more time. He worked himself into an early grave at 30, worried he had to prove himself. You're right though, he didn't have shit to prove to me.
I'm so sorry Whitney.
What a beautiful comment
I'm really "sending" whatever love I can.. I desperately hope my wife feels the same about my smelly work boots. I wish you the best.
I'm sorry 😞
Oh my gosh I am so sorry Whitney. What a loss. And what a poignant memory. Love to you and yours!
I wish my daughter would acknowledge I did everything I could to make life better for her. My wife and I had her in high school, she’s in grad school now 25 and told me I did the bare minimum as a dad.
Nova is underrated! This women is amazing! Not only is she doing her thing...she's helping her man with his! You're kicking ass Nova! Thank you for you music!
Love that Tom is a teammate and not just taking the fame for himself. Much Love
They are both equally Rock stars in my book.
@@squirlboy250 facts
I love them both soooo much! They are both so talented!
I heard he held back releasing songs while she released hers. Fucking awesome 😎
Holy shit. The dad who became a average Joe to keep his family supported and the old lady suffering part of the song really really impressed me. I love so much how you gave something so positive to people like that who spend every day battling reality. This is something that really means alot to me. Thank you.
It was her dad. Wikipedia it.
My family and experiences are filled with this. I've cried many a time to this song. Thank you, Nova, for providing this as an outlet to those who are also suffering through the feelings you've gone through. To me, this is, through its purist distillation, what it means to be an artist. Your husband hits me politically. You hit me personally. And I pray that you continue to be a witness through your music as to how to get through things that cut deeper than politics. Thank you, Nova.
It's been a hella long time since a song made me tear up. I'm feeling blessed I've discovered Nova and Tom.
AIGHT NOVA! THATS WHAT IM TALKIN ABOUT✊🏼
This song touched my soul. Amazing song. Love it
Lisa is wondering wtf my dude
Toddles gets it
I will do my best too
It is I'm
This is really something. Should have a tissue disclaimer before it starts. I haven't cried like this since my daughter died. This just tore down my asshole wall i always keep up. Good job, your truly an amazing artist
i am so very sorry for your loss,.... i hope you can find your peace
Sorry for your loss Brother!
She put on KZhead story for tissues....so I was ready...lol
Don't watch the video and try reading through the comments at the same time, it makes it even worse.😢😭
Sorry for your loss man😓
Like John Rich said, "we are kindred spirits." This is why we love Tom and Nova. These two are real. I'm a grandma and I just want to hug them both ... and all those who love them.
This is the kind of song that hits people right at their heart. Thanks Nova!
The amount of honesty in her and Tom’s music gives me hope for humanity.
there both apart of the problem all talk but no actions because they sold out to the new world order
@Klak Rudego lies they have millions
@klak rudego yeah because they're real talk. Brainwashed and politically incorrect spits lyrics that hits the entire world in the gut so hard it pisses them off until they're boo hoo like b*$#@&$
@klak rudego I guess that comment of yours buddy is your version of boohooing. Sad really...
I love your videos
Ugh. Sometimes it feels like you and Tom started an entire musical empire just to relate to me enough to wake me up.
Wow that is deep🥰
And honestly same in a lot of ways
It’s rare to see an artist bare their heart quite like this. Keep going, your work is powerful.
Nova speaks those thoughts we all have and are afraid to say in polite company.
Man the part about granny having parkinsons... my granny had that and also diagnosed with brain cancer. I took care of her every day for her last 5 months... she was always such an independent strong woman and then her ailments made her feel weak and a burden on us grandkids.... I miss her every single day... 5/8/20
Sending a hug Slick, I can’t imagine how hard 2020 was for you. I have no doubt Granny is thankful for all you did, she’s proud of you and she will always be watching over you now. For what it’s worth I lost my mother to brain cancer in ‘04 and my kids were little. I’ve always told them she became a star so she could watch over them forever and that any time they want to talk to her just look to the night sky and find the brightest star cause that’s her. They’re grown now and still refer to my mom as a star. I shared this to give you the same advice, the brightest star is Granny too, always there for you. I hope 2021 is better and that the fond memories you have of Granny give you comfort. 💛
You done a good job been there for her.you have a good hart sending my love from the UK.i can't understand how you feel I ope my mam or dad don't get it my gran passed away at 92 with Long cancer she never smoked A-day in her life they tried telling her it was Passive smoking..sorry just fort I wood Share that information xx
I’m so sorry for your loss, my grandmother is on her last breath, she only has one lung and is barley hanging in I know how hard it is to see them week😔
@@thebenzbois3648 🙏 sending my love keep your chin up hope all gos well ❤
@@colt-sunny thank you bro ❤️
Listening to this song makes me cry, but in a healing way. It actually helps me let go of a lot of the bitterness I have toward my parents. There were a lot of things they did that hurt me, some things even that might have been abusive-but it helps to step back and take a look at the bigger picture. I know that they always loved me, and that they did their best with what they had, even if they weren’t perfect. All of us make mistakes. We’re only human.
Same.Song my philosophy. I don't hold things against my family. As I aged, I made my own mistakes - a light went on. Know my families backgrounds (childhoods). They did better than what they endured. Like you said - we all make mistakes. Extend them grace like we need for our screw ups. So many expect perfect parents, grandparents, siblings, children, friends. No one can fulfill that.
This is something I'm discovering about my Mom. She always loved me but she was "only human" ...
@@changeintheair9648 I don't e
*hugs* dear.. I understand more than you might think.. you need to cling to the light, the love that they did give. Every one of us is messed up.. but did their best...
Good on ya. Offering forgiveness is cleansing.
Clearly this song hits them all hard.. anyone who's lost a loved one knows that pain.. and Tom sitting next to Nova, and putting his hand on her back,.. showing his loving support.. That was real.. You two have something real, never let it go.. My wife and I hit 25 years of marriage this year.. We've each lost loved ones.. and the support we share.. It got us through it.. Even when we lost our third child at birth.. Stillborn.. and we never forget him.. His name was Garret.. and he still lives on, in our hearts... God Bless you Nova.. Thomas.. You give so much to people who hurt, and that's more valuable than gold.. Stay strong, stay safe.. We love you for what you both do, together..
I am incapable of expressing how meaningful this is to me.
You two finding each other proves life is not random.
I'm a metalhead, but this is amazing. Everything Nova and Tom does is exceptional.
Same dude. Like I'll listen to other rappers, but its few and far between. I like music that has actual meaning behind the songs, and what these 2 can put out is much better than most I've heard from signed artists.
Wanna make a metalhead cry, play this song...rock on
Same brother i love metal but digging on this and tom as well. Good stuff, real stuff.
Agree!
It's the onions. Dang onions.
I've tried but I have almost no relationship with my family because they hate how I raise my kids...thank you for sharing ❤❤
I swear I know every person in this song!! They GREAT People too... Man I love this song... I played it for my mom.... there were tears.....
I have watched Tom’s videos and was curious of who she was as an artist. This is the first song I heard and it had me crying. I love that they are both working together on their own to achieve their dreams. You don’t see this in artists. Couples are called power couples but you don’t see them working together the way Nova and Tom do. Much love and respect for both.❤️❤️❤️
word
"Power couples" in Hollywood always seem to be popular couples at the moment. They never last, are never together, or support each other. Nova & Tom are on another level.
Same. I listened to a couple others before this...but man, I cried thru the whole song...
Tom and Nova are the Lennon/McCartney of this generation. They are a force.
I agree. I love them both so much.
My Dad had been in the hospital for 33 days and counting due to Parkinson’s. His violent outbursts in the middle of the night was the reason my mother had to admit him. She’s not allowed to visit him and any of the long term care facilities are understaffed and overcrowded. I live 1200 miles away but call him everyday. My mother is a breast cancer and brain tumor survivor and it still feels like the struggle is just beginning... You’re not alone, any of you, and we are all in this together.
🙏🙏🙏🙏🙏
I don't know if you believe or not but I do and I'll be praying for you and the family. Things can get bad sometimes, be strong for those who can't.
You are in my prayers 🙏🏻
this song is amazing. ive been a tom macdonald fan since the beginning. i regret to admit im just dicovering Nova as an individual artist. ive always loved her parts in toms songs. glad i finally found you Nova. May you and Tom always soar. Never let the haters crush what you do. or what you two stand for. You guys speak to my heart in your songs and i support everything you two have done so far. Your songs mean alot to all of us. and motivate us to keep pushing forward in a world that crumbles around us when we are weakest. i just lost my mother mar, 8, 2024 and listening to this song. spoke to me on a level no one else could understand. Thank you Nova. Thank you Tom. you are stars in our dark skies!
THis song talks about me . I gave all up for my family my young family . I wrote a book and recorded music . great memories
This made me think of my grandfather. He raised me because my dad left. Most powerful man I ever have and ever will know. Now he's 66 and I'm 16. He worked himself to death to take care of me and now he can't even take a shower by himself. Now it's my turn to take care of him. Idk why I shared this but this song made me think about it, I cried my eyes out. Thankyou for this amazing song.
I'm a 40 year old man and taking care of my 91 year old grandfather who has always been there for me. This song just had me balling like a baby too bro.
23 taking care of my dad 43. Broken back, femur, and I'm not sure what neurological impact chemo hasn't left. We got this bro. You're a solid guy; and when shit really sucks, it's up to us to keep going forward. Even if that means taking a step back.
Love your post. I'm 50 and I wish my dad would of left, sometime when they stay its worse glad u had him. I love you taking over because he give all. I think its great ur willing to give it all back
This really hit home. Being adopted my birth father's family received the letter I was looking for them the day they came home from his funeral. He had told them about me and they had been trying to find me for years, and I was told the biggest regret he had was not fighting for me ! Great Job Nova, keep keeping it real ! Live life without regrets !
❤️❤️❤️
I can really relate to you. I was adopted as a toddler. The day my dad found out where I lived he had buried my mom the day before. I never got to say goodbye. But piece will come with time. Hurt will never go away. For me at least. It just moves behind other things
I'm adopted too ❤️ Keep strong
My dad had a son before he met my mom, he told us about our brother and we all tried finding him on social media for years. It wasn't until my dad's funeral that we met our distant brother. He was very upset with my dad as he assumed he never tried to find him. When my dad passed away, his ex was told and she finally told us where our brother was.
DAM IM SRRY
This made me cry, I wasn’t ready for that. I lost my mom last year and my dad passed away 10 years ago. They were married for over 50 years and I know they did their best too. They both loved the Lord, so I am at peace knowing that they are in Heaven with Jesus. Happy Easter to both of you, God bless.
I really love y'all. It's about time somebody grew some balls. Mr Tom, you are an inspiration to me. I really look up to you and your girl. Y'all give me hope. Keep it up. When I'm not doing anything I will just sit there for hours and just keep clicking your vids.
This moved me, my mom had a pill addiction and recovered from it for me. Stood with my dad to battle our way out of low income. Then she got diagnosed with RSD and a few years ago it caused her to fall and hit her head dislodging her brain. I no longer lived at home and made it back in time for when they took her off life support. I held her hand in those last moments and was able to tell her thank and I knew she did her best.
Thank you for sharing this with us. I think this song taps into many of our lives and experiences.
Sh me definitely did more than her best. You can be so so proud of her and she is proud of you for being so caring and loving. Be strong dear and DO YOUR BEST.💖🙏🏼
@@IrenaDeacon Beautiful words. Channeling love and light to you and all.
When she said, "I know you did your best," 😢😖😭
Same. 😥🥲
Maranda! You did your best!!! You were the best of the best! The world won't be the same without you, so watch over em. And say hey to my dad, you guys can finally meet. R.I.P. MA
I would kill to get piano lessons from Tom! Mental health is real and the piano helps me heal! I'm currently in in-patient treatment and I get through with both of you, thank you Nova and Tom for what you do!
Before my mum died she lost her memory, I was 10yo and it still kills me today 25years later...dunno why I shared that but the emotions fell out as soon as I heard this song
That's a tough tablet to swallow for a 10 Yr old. 💓 My mum took her own beautiful self out of this world with suicide. It doesn't get better you just learn to live with it. Blessings to you from Scotland. 🙏🏴🌹
@@EveHyland-in8jb9ti9y really sad to hear that. Wish you nothing but the best from Germany.
You shared it because she touched you, and we family here... #HOG
You’re not alone Sam, similar situation here... I just wish I understood then what I understand now as I was too young to comprehend. This song hit me the same way.
Same thing happened to me, I never really understood what was happening at the time, and then he was gone forever.
I'm a 50 year old man, and this made me cry lol
I had to reheat my breakfast and my nose is still snotty.😭
💜💜
same
Me too and I'm 49
50 here man...same
65 yrs old n tears in my eyes. God bless you Nova and Tom. 🙏🏻❤️🙏🏻
I hope some day how I can express how this song spoke to me...I felt like a failure as a Father, but I tried my best ...two bad knees and a bad back for many years of hard, physical work.....I gave all I knew how to give....
We absolutely love you and Tom. You are the power couple to look at. Such amazing and beautifully talented beasts! 💕💕💕💕💕💕💕💕💕💕💕💕💕💕💕💕💕💕💕💕💕💕💕💕💕💕
My mom died of breast cancer last year i wish i could have told her i knew she did her best rip Margaret Tompkins i love you i know you did your best
R.I.P. MARGARET
I'm so sorry. May she rest in peace. Lost my Dad to esophagal cancer. 😔
💔 Jesus loves you. This song is just so amazing. I lost custody of my son and I did my best.
I love this. More people need to realize this.
Couples supporting each other is so refreshing. I’m here for it.
I've got a daughter and this hits heavy on me, I'm struggling bad right now and I'm trying so hard for my little girl in hope that she'll never feel the way I do about life. Thank you and Tom for all that you guys do, it makes me feel a lot less alone in this world that I don't want to exist in... I've been stuck on repeat for over a month now between you, Tom, and Hopsin and the independent world with you guys is so much more connected to reality then mainstream bullshit. Keep it up, you're killing it and keeping some of us alive out here, thanks again!
You aren't alone. We got you fam! Keep your head up. (I'm struggling as well) It always, always, always gets better. Sometimes it just takes a while.
Been raising my daughter by myself for the past 8 years. I'm exhausted constantly and alone because friends don't wanna kick it no more. So I feel your struggle, keep your head up.
@@doctorevil3326 You're not alone. You're part of #HOG We're here for you. Prayers 🙏
To all you single mums and dads out there, and this is coming from a single mum. Just do your best for your kids, I know how hard it can be, at 1 point when my daughter was 9 I was working 2 part time jobs. Now she is 18 and I'm registered as disabled. Just take time for yourself and your kids. Blessed be.
You're not alone. We're here.
"Now she'd give anything to have the buzz of his saw comeback". That line hits deep
😭😭😭😭 FOR REAL
It's a sobering thing what we miss when the noise of a person is no longer in our lives
This hots home for me too. My dad was a sawmiller his whole life, but after his stroke at age 68, no more sound of the buzz of the sawmill. He survived, but is paralysed all down his right side, a big piece of him was lost that awful day, he's just not the same dad I knew now. He's 75 now, so is my mother, she's dying of alzheimers. I've just escaped an abusive 16 year relationship, and can finally go back to my home state of Tasmania, Australia, so they can finally spend the last of their time with their daughter whom they haven't heard from, or seen for 5 years. Im crying , but its not tears of sadness, its tears of relief and love, im coming home 💖😭 💝
That line get's me every time.......
Usually it is the little things that people miss the most. Have a great day everyone and stay safe 🙏.
hot damn they grow them incredibly talented and beautiful in Canada. Nova you rock.
This is a really special song, thanks so much for the sentiment. We really do all make mistakes and deserve second chances at life.
Two of the best musicians ever. And I'm so glad I found them.
I think they are far beyond just being musicians, they are artists and they are very very very good/creative.
Yes!! Me too. Their talent is amazing!
Nova and Tom love them
They have saved my life then and NF
@@IC3N1N3 same here. Their music helps keep me out of my head.
I came here as a Tom Macdonald fan knowing that Nova does all his music vids and is his girlfriend. Wow! Can I just say I am blown away and was not expecting this to hit home so much. Thank you for putting out something so heart wrenching and I can't wait to see where your music takes you next! Keep up the great work Nova!
Awesome Song, Nova. I can relate to the lyrical content. Family is always 1st! 💯
This is double glazing, That's a Rockafeller Amazing
