    Great reaction! This is why we, #the hogfamily, are so protective of Tom! He was in a bad spot and he wrote to us a long response because we were so concerned. He explained his feelings perfectly. Tom, obviously is very transparent. I do love this song. #hog4life

    As a mother of 4 it breaks my heart to see and feel the pain he lives with to bring such happiness, balance, reason, excitement to so many of us. I hope he can find peace by sharing his pain. We feel it.

    I mean its gatta be so damn hard i mean listen to what he says about him inspiring so and so its always about those fans no one ever stops and puts themselves aside to see how Tom is or how are things going in his life instead its always about how good he makes everyone elses life better at his own expence. Much love for Tom and i hope he can find away to make himself happy and healthy both mentally and physically even if if thats leaving music for a while because im sure the huge majority of us would be here if he decided to come back but ether way we would be happy knowing he is happy. Tom there alot of us out here who love you man and we are here no matter what you decide we got your back.

    It’s kind of like always wanting to have children, and you have them and love them and wouldn’t change it…. But that doesn’t mean there aren’t days when it’s overwhelming and incredibly hard. And then they go to sleep and you look at their sweet faces and remember how much you love your children and being a parent 🥰

    I felt this! I feel all his songs, but I feel this one deeply. In my own mental health journey, one of the things that helped me was to write out my pain, so I didn't keep holding it. I am hoping this is #TomMacDonald's way of getting his pain out. We are all the same underneath, like he said in #Castles. Money, fame, accomplishments don't make us happy. Peace is within. War is within. We all go through seasons. # HangOverGang

    Holy sh*t! Tom wasn’t lying about CRAZY visuals! Just INCREDIBLE!! I couldn’t imagine the struggles of fame, but I know what it’s like to wanna get out of my own head. The way he’s willing to communicate with us and express his realness is so raw and real. Anxious and intelligent minds think constantly as well as ask “what if” of any and all circumstances. To keep up with himself with what he does shows inner strength and determination like nothing I’ve ever seen! We love him❤️ I pray he’s okay🙏🏻 #Balloons #HangOverGangForever🤘🌟🏆🔥

    My comment to Tom
    -------
    Damn bro, I felt this at a visceral level and was brought to tears, for 2 reasons:
    1st: because I don’t enjoy seeing anyone this depressed and I wish I could do something to help
    2nd: because I’ve been there, not with fame but feeling that I failed my wife and 4 kids. Thinking they would be better off if I was gone is a very bad place to be.
    I love you man and I really hope you have this version of a demon locked down for a while.

    This is a very sobering song. It made me think about all the times I was advised to be be very mindful and careful of what I wish for. All I can say is thank God for unanswered prayers. I cant imagine being under a microscope 24/7 and the criticism that comes with that. Im my own worst critic, so I dont need help from hundreds of thousands of strangers. Yeah, not enough money in the world for that. Thankful that people like Tom and Nova, who are as real as they come, are willing to take that on so they can fulfill their own dreams while we get to enjoy the fruits of their labor with zero risk.

He is a very talented person. Nothing but love. Mental health boundaries should be a real thing. I have access to all the pics Nova takes. I hope I could stay in the moment and let it just be ok that I glimpsed greatness! #hangovergang

    Everyone has their good days and bad days. I don't think it's any different for Tom. I think he's giving us a look inside of him. He is being vulnerable and showing people his true self. There are so many that go through this type of mental struggle and it helps to talk about it. I think this song could be therapy for Tom. This song makes me want to reach out and hug him!! Tom is strong and he's got this. I also know that being strong all the time gets tiring/exhausting. I will keep him in my prayers and all those who struggle as well. Be kind, you never know what people are going through.

    You mentioned this is like his song Don’t look down. I agree. With I think also I’m the best wrapper ever, because I’m thinking of the line demon Tom said. Something like “You’re famous now Tomas, what’s with all the tears?” and then the going back and forth between him and Tom.
    Saw this video yesterday and I’ve been waiting for your reaction.
    Also, notice how he is fiddling with the microphone in some of the shots 🎤. These feel like symbolic shots in this song. Like he does not know what to do. The microphone being a symbol of his music.
    “When this magazine gets printed can you send one to my house. I’d like to own a tiny piece of me like everybody else”. That line with that shot of him and his voice sounding so broken just hurt. Feeling like everyone owns you but yourself. Ow.
    “I’m not a celebrity. I’m just Tom”. His face 😢. Anyone else want to hive him a hug at that point?

I don't know Dave Mcdonald but I believe he deserves the credit he earned also. He also did the special effects on Music Industry but everyone gives Nova 100% credit for all Tom's videos which she is awesome with I agree but Dave also needs recognition too for his work.

    I have to be honest, I struggled with this song at first. I know he is speaking what he is feeling and he is being real but I struggled with it seeming almost ungreatful. I really liked hearing your perspective on things because you help me see a side of it that I cant understand. I am not famous so i have a hard time grasping that. Thank you for explaining it while listening to the song so that I can get a better persective. I love your reactions.

      Don't matter where you are in life. It's there.

    I'm so glad you're back! I'm wishing you many successes in your new location, we need a walk-thru of your new digs!
    I love your commentary of videos, (especially Tom's...because we all love him & Nova!), because you are such a deep-thinker and you articulate those thoughts so eloquently making it even more enjoyable.
    I'm sure I speak for many other than myself, we love you too! Thank you for doing what you do.
