Tom MacDonald - "I Wish"

"I wish I had a friend who I could tell, I would call'em" That one hurt a little

[@weeksMZ]

Right? We all have problems and what is big to me may be small to you, but everyone needs someone they feel they can talk to. It takes a lot of grit to submit to vulnerability, but after you feel free and have a lot more clarity mentally

the fact that people need others to be vulnerable worries me. it's simple words.........the need for others to be weaker than you...............nothing enlightened about it. straight scary.

[@MrTubeYouTheif]

@@chriswhited You make a good point but, I believe here at least, that its not a need to see people weaker than you but, to see someone expose themselves in a way that you wish you were able to. In contrast, it's seeing someone brave enough to do something you yourself are not brave enough to do, yet. You can't see someone as weaker than you, if they are doing that which you are unable to.

@@TheMinority2 same boat here...I grew up a party animal, goofy dude just getting by. If I was still that same guy I'd laugh while holding up a blunt in one hand and a middle finger in the other. Watching as both sides fight and follow lies, while I just laugh and get high. But as a 31 year old father now, with an 8 year old princess who I want to make proud, it kills me to see this world she'll grow up in. Trying to keep hope but every day feels closer to the breaking point. Use to be one part could break and we fall back on the others, but now we look around and every single foundation is crumbling. When the first shoe drops, the rest will fall with it. No hope to hold onto, no best outcome in sight, the only comfort I believe is if God takes us all tonight. I don't want to grow up in a world without her freedom, I don't want her to grow up in a world that wants her beaten bc the color of her skin or the religion she grew up in. I just can't find peace, I'm praying but the world outside is screaming so loud i can't think straight.

[@NoRecourse1785]

@GingerBeardMan Dunn. Just raise her to be strong and skeptical. It is the natural ebb and flow of history that strong, smart people create great civilizations. People get lazy and weak and then fight over the scraps of that civilization. At some point, people will have enough and the strong/smart will move back in, rebuild, and times will be hopeful again. It's sad that our children must grow up in this world, but there are always great things to see experience in life. Also, look on the bright side; we aren't living in the feudal ages, we aren't in the trenches in ww1, we aren't being invaded by the huns or the mongolians.

My husband, the father of my boys.. he passed away 5 years ago today at 29 years old.. he had severe epilepsy. He showed me this song about a month or so before then and he broke down crying and when I asked him “This makes you think of yourself, doesn’t it..? And he just cried even more and all he said was the name of our oldest son who at the time was 11. I tried to ask what he meant and he didn’t ever answer me.. he just cried. I still to this day am not really sure why he said that.. but our oldest son is the one who found him the morning he died. I can’t help but always wonder what he exactly meant.. sometimes I wonder if he knew without knowing, what would happen. Our oldest is almost 16, going on 17 now and he’s such an amazing teenager. I wish I knew what he meant.. it seemed so spot on for himself so it threw me off when he said, through tears, our oldest son’s name.

Humble Roots the industry decides who becomes famous or not, im happy for his success but he'll never become mainstream famous unless he signs his name in blood, which pretty much means selling your soul, and thats not what hes trying to be.....

@@Theundisputedelite Oh trust me I know I make music myself, but because I don't use my music to pick on people and offend them just for kicks, I only have 24 subs lol. & okay there, I know some of his older music was deep and meaningful, but clearly Tom has no problem selling his soul cause he went from "Don't let society tear you down, let's empower each other" to "I'm gonna wear a 'make America hate again' ski mask to own the libs! Hahaha I offended you, you politically correct snowflake!" and now he's back to the good side again with this song: "It's okay to be gay/fat/etc." which is the exact opposite of the vibes those previous two songs gave off. That's WHY he is blowing up, because he is willing to sell his soul, that's why he's going to blow up "all the way" and it's why I have no sympathy for him when he bitches about being hated on.

Aspects of this are still so cringe tho. From his image (that conforms so close to the parts of hiphop/rap that he critisizes) to half of his hooks/choruses being cornball and sappy... They undercut the great lyrics and message. Just being honest, not hatin. I definitely think he's ultimately underrated, but i cant blame people. Tom MacDonald is what Uncle Adams wishes he could be (an inspirational/motivational rapper that doesn't have to rap about violence, drugs, hoes, etc that doesn't suck). Tom almost pulls it off perfectly, but there are mixed messages and image issues still afoot

Manuel Ramos sincere sympathy. I lost my FATHER in 2008, my father got to meet both of my sons but time has barely given him EXISTENCE anymore. He was an alcoholic but not a mean alcoholic he never claimed to be perfect and he was a people magnet. There was something about him that people admired. He is still teaching me about life since he left. Most times I realize he was even stronger than I gave him credit for while here. My mom passed in 2016. For the first time in my life I felt a disconnect with the universe the 2 people who were responsible for giving me life were gone and my sister was TOXIC as a narcassist she had always been dominating and I eliminated her from my life in 2009 and I'm so much better for it..but I just wanted to let you know that I feel your pain of losing a parent. I wish you peace and love. The best thing we can do to honor a loved one past is give then the present of our presence now it's not a coincidence that the definition of present is gift and the same sounding means right now. Much love stay blessed.

[@drewcook2445]

I wish my daughter knows how much I love and miss her. I wish I hadn't wasted so much time. I wish my dad loved me as much as his alcohol. I wish I could feel again. I wish I knew the answers. I wish the physical pain wasn't so debilitating. I wish all of you a wonderful life and pure happiness.

Thinking of my past, still one of those songs that hits. Things are so good now and yet I would love to live a day back then. It's tough today, things didn't matter then. That said, I don't know if anyone will see this, but I will say what I feel God whispered to me while I was in my feels thinking this. Keep going.

I like this guys because it’s this song that makes me look at the simpler things in life like all these kids want to vape or doing stupid fucking bullshit, I want to go and adventure without a care in the damn world because that’s what makes life good.

[@polasnoob]

to be famous you need to be stupid

This is the FIRST celebrity that has won my admiration and respect. Most of the time I despise all celebrities, they are usually terrible and despicable human beings that deserve nothing but contempt, even if I admire their artistic creations, but this guy, my God, what a soul. Not only his art, but also his biography, he's a true inspiration, I hope the kids today will have this guy as their idol. I certanly wish MY kids to do so.

Nick, Try to see things from another state of mind, don't be to hard on yourself. She mary you for a reason, isn't she? I'm sure she knows now, and felling the way you are it's obvious you loved her, and she sees, and how proud she might be witnesses you raise your consciousness and grow your wisdom🤗 What if she's now your spiritual guide? What if, she wasn't in the other realm, you wouldn't be on this realisation of yourself now... Forgive yourself 🤗 Believe
