Fantastic Tom, keep up the good work. I've been sober over 40 years, and I lived that song. You made me think of the struggles I had to go through to get where I am today. Thanks, Brother.

[@corybabcock4263]

He probably feels that way due to the fact that he's known for rapping, people were drawn to him because of his political rap and his last 2 songs have been more i guess in the pop rock genre. some people simply don't like that style music

[@carolynoliver474]

Nicely put!

[@anthonynaughgle3616]

And to those people, I'll kindly direct them back to some of his rap (fake fans, for example😂) But for real, I get being nervous, but hes done different genres before and always kills it so i agree with op, dont stress it just do you Tom!. Your likely right though and he doesn't want to disappoint. @corybabcock4263

[@billygillette4417]

Dear Tom I'm a 65 year old man from louisiana. I have battled many things in my life as you have. From being run over by a car to a heart attack and a stroke and now I'm battling cancer. But in the coming year, with God's help, I am determined to become a stronger version of myself. Thank you so much for this song, it means a lot to me.

Once I got sober, I found weed just kinda knocks me off balance mentally, won’t wake up crashed in a ditch though 😂 I hope you’ll choose to go full-blown sober. Life is just better that way for me and I bet it will be for you too. STAY STRONG AND BE WELL. Much love.

Sober 24 years this June every step has been a blessing. In November I lost my husband, the week before that I lost my eldest son to the disease of Alcoholism. The hardest road I have ever traveled. But this I know a drink or a pill will not make it any easier.

This is a great encouragement to all of us that there is still hope no matter what in Jesus name.

[@MarronChaplin]

“People don’t like me for things I forgot”…. That nails down the initial anxiety of recovery! Until you start to become better, like yourself again, and realize most of those people forgot those things too. Great job as always Tom and Nova!

[@FarewellFix]

I feel like that line is more of as he's moved on and got Sober, you start to love again and see yourself differently...but those who knew you at your worst and haven't seen the new you still remember the bad things you did or said, which is why they still hate him, because they remember but he moved on and forgot. Maybe I'm wrong. I suppose that's the beauty of music and lyrics though, they can be taken in differently. Absolutely fantastic song regardless.

Some people don't like it when they Google Nova Leigh Paholek, aka Nova Rockafeller, and find out she's still legally married to Kavan Cardoza. Public records show she's trying to divorce him. Tom can't propose to a married woman. People like authenticity, not lies. Be transparent with people from the start because the truth always comes out. It's disappointing but no one's perfect and I don't know the full story.

Respectfully, from someone stabbed in the back by friends who were addicts I have one issue with that mind set. Sure you forgot but what about the people you hurt? What about the fall out they have to deal with from your bad decisions?(not yours but the addict who wronged me in this case). If you get my point, isn't it wrong to them to forget it? Not being judgemental I'm genuinely curious what people think on this subject.

[@RoxieCarrol215]

@@hatch450sx3 addicts leave a trail of pain and destruction along the way. It's not far that they forget it, but it's also not (usually) a choice to forget it. I personally relate to this verse from times when I wasn't using. I have a history of drug abuse, but my whole life i have suffered from lost time. I'm not sure why or what it is but those are the times I. Referring to. But I completely understand, everyone I grew up with, family, friends, and just people In the area I lived. 98% of us ended up on drugs. Opiates mostly, and not only have I seen the pain and destruction they've done to others but so many are gone now, lost to the same destruction. It's not fair to anyone.

Wow, I’m in tears when I saw the part of you dropping to your knees it brought back memories. My testimony was that I did the exact same thing in my sisters living room crying out to God. The night before I had smoked marijuana and had a bad reaction from it. The next day I was mentally tormented and I remember dropping to my knees asking God to take this away from me. It was that point and time in my life that I needed to go back to Church. My mom raised me a Lutheran and after that horrible episode I started going back to church and gave my life to Jesus and became a not ashamed born again Christian. My life after that was never the same and I thank Jesus for never giving up on me, I love him very much. 2:06

I just need to say that my 6 year son absolutely LOVES this song and music video! He played the music video on my phone last night about 10x or more and I had to tell him, "ok Jacob, new song. I love this song too but you've played it too many times in a row now and I do NOT want to get sick of this song already after only knowing about it for a day" 😆 He also asked me, "Mom! why are there flowers growing everywhere??" I answered, "it means he is making a better life for himself now that he is healthier and stronger. He is working on being happier and the flowers mean growth. He's healing from all the pain he's been thru." Our whole family are big fans of yours Tom. Keep doing what you're doing, you're inspiring and great! ❤️
