      I hope so! We need to save this history because depending on if the New World Order wins, as it seems they are gaining daily, they will try to rewrite all history and wipe it out. We are seeing it happen before our eyes. It’s up to us to find ways to save this history for people in the future to find (if we lose). I sound like a conspiracy theorist, but the conspiracy theories I tried to warn all my family and friends about for years are now I fortunately coming true.

    Hi Tom I am a psychotherapist and I am contacting you because I have just come across your incredibly passionate, well timed, powerful testimonies regarding many important issues. I work with homeless men struggling with addiction and mental health issues and they continually told me to check out this rapper that talks about real life issues and doesn’t glamorize evil. As a disabled veteran and heart transplant recipient I found more insight and wisdom in your poetry than I have in many other areas. God bless you and your family 🕊

People say he's political, yes he is...but we the people need it. Wake up. I've been AWAKE since I was 15. The Dems had me for a minute, but the light showed me what is going on. It's right in front of our faces. They are desperate to keep TRUMP from being the PRESIDENT of the USA, the question is WHY? I'll tell you why.....because they will ALL be going to GITMO for Conspiracy and TREASON. Watch what the LORD does....trust in HIM wholeheartedly. No doubt. Amen and
      Amen,

Got out and drank the next 15 years away. No home,no children, no nothing living under a bridge. Since then i have faught and faught to get back up and with the grace,love and help from God i am now happily married, own a small farm, love every day and work hard.

Now it's up to us to follow his word and HIS path for us, for he is the ALMIGHTY and HIS WILL SHALL BE DONE. His hand is moving as I type this. God Bless US ALL.

    Tom just wrote a love song to Nova and rightfully it was hugely successful. In my humble opinion this was Toms first love song. A song for everyone who is suffering that lets all of us know we aren't alone. I think this is some of his best work. My Fans was his second love song, while it hits hard to his fans, this one is for everyone.

    Hey Brother, I want say all your songs are kick ass! This song is my favorite song! I played this song for my X-wife who is a substance abuse and director of a in patient substance abuse program . One night a week the program has a one hour night class in which close too 30 patients attend . She played this song at the class and she said that the room got completely quiet and EVERY single patient in the class had tears rolling down their cheeks including another counselor and the intern! She has worked in substance abuse for 20 years and said it was the best class she has ever attended to where the class went an hour longer because of the emotions your song sparked!!! Brother that is the epitome of being a true artist! I would love to shake your hand hop on our dawgs and take a long f#ckin ride! You should be extremely proud of what you do and how your songs touch the deepest part of men and women’s souls! GOD BLESS YOU BROTHER!! Thank you

Drug and alcohol abuse was my escape. I finally decided I hated myself, so suicide was the next logical choice. Then I remembered what I learned about God as a child. I finally forgave my dad for how I was treated and forgave myself for all the damage done by my choices. Forgiveness is key, and I dont think anyone can truly forgive without accepting forgiveness themselves.

Hanging on by a thread this literally made me cry because I don't think I'm going to be able to make it through then I'm trying but I really want to give up.. always loved your music man

    Tom, Im almost 60 yrs old and never listened to rap only rock and roll. I discovered you here on you tube when I saw your song America. I listened to it and loved it which took me to every single one of your songs and I love every single one of them. Every single night I come home from work I play your music over and over. Im officially addicted lol. Castles literally made me tear up. I just want to thank you for making such great music that sends a message to each and everyone of us Americans.

      As a 57 yr old from Australia I assure you that Tom MacDonald is not just sending a massage to Americans. He's speaking out on aspects of your society and collective story and culture in a way that most don't have the courage to, so perhaps Americans should be paying the most attention to what he's saying and the questions he's asking.

    Tom, I embody the line about the "wheelchair Ramp leading up to the door" for my wife. My wife of 20 years passed from Cancer 5 years ago. It was the hardest thing I ever had to deal with, leaving me with our two kids to continue raising. I am so glad that I had the family network I have, otherwise I may have gone the wrong direction. I have just recently found your music, but you truly are inspirational to so many. Keep up the great work. If everyone would just try to put themselves in someone else's shoes before they judge them, this world would be a much better place.

      Stay Strong and hopeful, keep all the love and good memories in your heart forever, your wife will always watch over you and your children, she is never far from you. Heaven is not far away, it's just another realm, you can always talk to her and she is listening. I lost my wife from diabetes 4 months ago. Everyday is a struggle but I try to stay positive because that's how my wife was, she was the best thing that ever happened to me. Take care and God bless you and your family.

    Tom, I have never posted a youtube comment, and in fact I created one just to comment this. I don't know if you will read this but this song is a masterpiece. Music for me used to be an escape, to close your eyes and be transported to a place and experience the feelings you had never felt before. Up until this song I thought those feelings would never come back. The first time i heard this song it was like I time traveled, and every time I listen to this I experience a new experience. Thank you for bringing back the music that might never be on the top 10, but will the type of music that changes people's lives. Thank you sir

    This is my favourite song out of all of the ones he's produced. Some like him for the politics, some like him for the hardcore lyrics. If this is your favourite song from Tom, you've lived life, you've been scarred. You have encountered Evil, Tragedy, Hopelessness.
    I wish everyone luck. Because I sure as hell know I need a miracle.
    Thanks Tom.

    I finally got to LISTEN to this song fully, and it made me cry 😢 because I can relate to so much of the song. I deal with bipolar depression and when i get into a downward spiral i put this song on and other songs from Tom and I feel much better because it seams like someone finally understands and has put into words the things that have been in my head that i have been trying to tell people but just couldn't find the right words. Well, this song is my right words. Love you, Tom Macdonald. Thank you for everything you have done and for saying what needs to be said.
