This shows Tom's empathy as an observer of what people are going through. I always say Castles is one of the foundation stones of the Hang Over Gang family.
The 2nd verse BROKE me when I 1st heard it. That was my Dad after my Mom passed away. He spent hours just sitting on the porch fiddling eith things. And he DID build a ramp for my Mom. 💔
This has been my #1 favorite since the weekend I found Tom. I binged his whole catalog in 2 days so I honestly don't remember what the first one was, but I do remember it was political. The political got my attention, but Castles hooked me. I've been obsessed ever since. I discovered him right before Fighter dropped. And right after I bought my first two albums. By the end of January I had all of them. And I've bought every one since.
Same story, but I found Tom back when he had 250k subs. I heard this song and bought the Deathreats album and my Castles shirt that very day. I can't get to town except for doctor visits, but I ALWAYS wear my Castles shirt to help me get through the day with compassion when I am overwhelmed with pain. Love to you #HOGfam ♥ There weren't a lot of songs out then, so I binged reactions for DAYS lol
I found this channel at 200 subscribers just a few months ago. It has been such a pleasure to see it grow. And it has been a true blessing to connect with the members & form the foundation of this community. It has been the tribe that I didn't know that I needed. I absolutely love y'all. And I'm down for members, subscribers, casual watchers... anyone just looking for a word of encouragement or a kind word. We are called to be the hands & feet of Christ. That's what I live my life by. ❤
You know you're my guy, but you missed when saying the guy lost hope because of dreaming too big or having new years resolutions. In the song he literally lost hope because his girl died when giving birth to his kid. I know what you were trying to say, but I think you already had what you wanted to say before Tom said the entire line. Whjile I agree with you about setting small goals, you don't only set up small goals, because once you hit that goal you think you've conquered some huge thibg and you're good. Youre supposed to set a lofty goal, and within that goal you set up mini goals to get small wins which help with motivation. The issue today is people are raised being told theyre the best at everything, they get trophies for getting last place, they're handed everything without having to work for it, they're allowed to quit as soon as something gets too hard, and they're told they can be whatever they want to be without being taught it takes hard work to realize your dreams. Then once they enter the real world and have their first stumble or failure they immediate crumble and give up. Failing at something isn't failure, they are lessons on how to overcome that stumble which makes you smarter, stronger, and builds character. The only thing that's considered failure is when you quit. The most successful people in the world have failed more than everyone else and they wouldn't quit when everyone else quit. Im glad you have people you turn to to diacuss what you want to discuss on your videos. My only advice is have different people with different ages and experiences than you. Sometimes things are an experience thing and I know you young people think youve been through it at your 30's, and probably have compared to most people including some older, but I promise as you get older you really do start seeing the world and understanding things different than when you're younger. I'm not saying you dont have intelligence, experience, etc in you're 30's, but its like starting your sophomore year in college when you think you have this colle thing figured out and think you'remore intelligent than moat people, but jumior and senior classes are a different world andbyou realize you still dont know shit... even after graduating. It doesnt mean us old ass people cant learn from you youngens, we can and should, but us old asses have spun the block a few times. Great message, you are on the right track brotha. Keep pushing, I truly believe God has your back as long as you stay true and humble.
TOM'S Steps To Recovery from Addiction: 1) Withdraws: Step one is getting the poision out of your system. 2) Angles: Get understanding on where it went wrong. 3) Sober: TAKE ACCOUNTABILITY.... Tom Ownes his mistakes. He doesent blame other for his Decisions.... This is KEY. 4) Church: Reach out to God. 5) Fighteer: Learn to Believe in God and Yourself 6) Stronger Version: Onece you've "Put that work in" Learn to forgive yourself. #HOG4LIFE (Subscriber/Video Liked)
I was once ready to see if i meet God or the the Devil when i die, Tom's song Fighter wasn't the first one of his i heard. But i believe it to my soul that song saved me. I was in a real dark place the day i heard it. i haven't fixed all my problems, but i ain't ready to see who i face on the other side anymore. One step at a time, like you said
"I give unto men weakness that they may be humble; and my grace is sufficient for all men that humble themselves before me". Coming to a place where I am grateful for my weaknesses because they bring (brought) me to Him.
Happy New Year Nelson! Sitting here with my morning coffee listening to your breakdown and really enjoyed it! You've built something special on your channel and I have no doubt you'll keep growing.
You cannot out-give God. True Story: I was a young Christian widow struggling to earn $200 a month, living in a shed, a hose for water, a bucket, and one electric outlet. At sabbath service, during Christmas, a young couple with 3 children had just moved to the area and needed help. The Lord put it on my heart to 'give'. I had $20 set aside for Christmas...let me tell you I battled for a bit before putting that last $20 in the plate. Less than ten minutes later someone handed me an envelope, said they found it in the ladies room with my name on it. I opened it to find a hundred dollar bill. I have never flinched about giving money since that day. God is good!
NELSON If you want to see Tom in a movie like place...filled with needing to be saved 🙏 Check out an older one 👇 IF I CHANGE .... your reaction will be golden 💛 💛 💛
Need a resolution? Go to your family, whether it is parents, spouse, or children...get on your knees with them individually and ask the Lord to be in your life more than ever this coming year. Ask him to bring His spirit into your home during these trying times. Praise Him for all the blessings He has bestowed this past year : life, His Word, breath, hope, understanding, compassion. Let your loved ones know that you are there for them in the presence of God. These are hard times for so many, I implore you to re-invite God into your life, reinforce your family ♥ That is a resolution we need!
Nelson, this felt a little bit scripted and preachy on the New Year’s resolutions theme. I am here to watch you breakdown the song and lyrics, and that’s not what this was. The rant feels unrelated to the meaning behind this song. One of my favorite Tom Macdonald songs and it didn’t get your full attention. 😔
Still praying you will really check out the other two that got me through my addictions besides tom and you love them so I hope you do this play list man ok and after this comment I got some chang I'll donate request just because know one has done a real full album/ albums reaction to it and it started after struggle got out ua-cam.com/play/PL_QDwfQNal-mpt48KPfAplOjV-nMZCF9S.html&si=N4iywv53NpEbQAd3

This is my favorite! I have missed so many reactions. Been down with exhaustion but getting better! I can hopefully make the next live! #HangOverGang
You got to do "Hangman" not many people do it and it's so good! This reaction reminded me of the song and message...
Hangman got me through a bad alcohol relapse a few years back. It's one of my all 'Tom' favorites.
Love this breakdown from you!!
