I am 11 days sober today. It hasn't really been as hard as I expected except those first few days where I literally couldn't walk. Today my legs are stronger. My back is stronger. My faith is stronger. My love of my fiance and kids is stronger. This song hit home hard because that otherwise makes you powerful

Great reaction. You are such a sweet soul. I don't know his story in any detail but he's obviously in a great place now from where he had been. Highlighted even more I think because there was no anger/frustration in his singing like there is in a lot of his songs I've heard. He just sounded happy and content.

Having never listened to or watched his music before, I thought YOU would be the right person to introduce me. Based on your commentary, this might not have been the 'best' song to start with. But... I really liked the feel and the overall message. I'll look into more! Great reaction!

Tom has a wild back story. I apologize for this long post. Some of your comments reminded me so much of myself, I got comment diarrhea (gross symbolism, sorry). I only share this with you as I am impressed at how well you have your head screwed on right and I feel you will take to heart what is being said (I don’t share this info with just anybody). If any of my phrases seem weird, feel free to ask (I am a 65 year old Hispanic American - 2nd gen - and I sometimes use slang from when I was your age, a long, long time ago). ***Personal Opinion on Tom***: I think part of the anger Tom has towards the corporate music industry is due him buying into the message presented by rappers. He wound up depressed, messed up on alcohol and came close to suicide. He couldn’t pay his bills AND was evicted, living on the street until he went back and lived at his mom’s for 9 months, fully disconnected from the world, not even interacting with other humans. He finally made his way back and has nothing nice to say about the music industry labels or the message they push to the mainstream. He will not compromise and had no choice but to be truly independent. His music is also his therapy for the darkness of the depression and anxiety - that monster never goes away, I know because I’ve tried to kill the one lurking in my shadows. If you check out “Sober”, (kzitem.info/news/bejne/qWuh2mZtoqaFZ4o ), you will get Tom’s story. He is an open book and knows that keeping it 💯 helps keep the monster locked down. His spoken word joints are also good for backstory. As you react to more of Tom’s tracks, you will see why there are 3 groups of people that listen to Tom’s tracks: 1. The haters. Never gonna change and the #hangovergang will always just wave🖕🏽🖕🏿🖕🏼 2. The people that feel the same way he does and like his message and that he holds the industry accountable: See “Blame The Rappers” ft DAX (kzitem.info/news/bejne/lGZ5qnyrooR0pZg). Group 3 includes me and many others - keeping it real af: 3. We are people that have done battle with our own demons, such as alcohol, drugs, other addictions and depression. Many of us have even been close to suicide but we kept hanging on (kzitem.info/news/bejne/rnqnsYyVpZmjhGU). We still fight our demons but we refuse to give them power over us. While Tom’s music is therapy for him, it’s also a source of strength for us. The thing that gives us the greatest power over the darkness is knowing we are not alone. That is why we are part of the #hangovergang, we will never be alone, there is strength in numbers (kzitem.info/news/bejne/rauMtqKNaaVkiaQ). Lastly, some things I’ve learned after flipping the bird to Death 3 times: *: Life is full of absurdity. When non-critical shit happens (I.e. bought the wrong car part or the car part breaks), treat is as an absurdity and laugh your ass off at it. That takes all the power away from absurdities. Things like dyslexia are also absurdities (I have it bad but joke about it because, well you know, it’s ABSURD!). *: Life is a grand adventure. And, just like any roller coaster, there are scary parts and there are the thrills. All you have to remember is to Hold On Tight and enjoy the ride. Substances like alcohol and drugs don’t enhance the adventure, they will however, muddy the experience. *: You are not alone. No matter what struggles or challenges you may face, others have been there. There is no shame in the struggle, it’s what makes us stronger, like lifting weights. As we lift more, we get stronger but, there is a time when every weight lifter takes on a little more than they can safely handle and the ask someone to be a spotter, just in case. The only shame in life is when we are trying to “lift” more than we are able, to not seek help from a spotter. There are lots of people who are willing to serve as a “spotter” when asked. #hangovergang forever - for life 🤟🏽🤟🏼🤟🏿

@@Gulicktheemu Wow! I appreciate the very detailed and well-written comment! Since being introduced to Ren several months ago, this man has been on the 'outside limits of my radar,' as have NF and Eminem. I definitely plan to dig deeper. MY personal interest with these performers is purely artistic. Lyrics that are poetry rather than just "a bunch of rhymes." Music that is unique, or at least creative. Knowing some of the back story IS helpful in that it informs the artist's journey (and motivation, in many cases). Thank you again!

Tom MacDonald is amazing. Put himself out their for the world to see. Good or Bad. "Sober" He takes ACCOUNTABILITY for his all the Bad Decisions he's made. "Angles" He talks about HUNDERSTANDING of how he got to where he was. "Stronger Version" He's learning to FORGIVE himself. Can't Move on till you do all 3. BTW "Angles" is one of my favorite song.

I feel for Tom I see in this Song the Realization that He Misses His Baby Skin. I know a lot of Guys in that Position right now and Tom has the same look in the Mirror. Off Topic , I saw a Comedy Skit that is Perfect for putting You into a Very Good Mood in the Morning or when You need the Lift. Check Out " The Two Ronnies , My Blackberry isn't working" and keep some Tissue Handy. Lovs from Freezing Canada.
