I fought depression and anxiety for 60 years. It still creeps in periodically at age 71. Thank you! We all need this message!

Tom,
I'll be 68 yrs old this week and traveled quite a few of your same dark roads in my past.
Since finding you by chance on KRplus a couple yrs back, I want to thank you for waking up a lot of emotions I thought were long gone in my heart.
Could listen to you 24/7.
Continued success and stay strong.
And most importantly keep on the path you have found.

@63 with 35 years of recovery under my belt...So glad u made it Tom MacDonald! Thx 4 encouraging others!❤
See u in the clouds, Maranatha

I played your new song for my amazing teens in a stabilization program from substance and mental health issues. Which I believe is a symptom of their trauma. You truly are amazing. Your words will never be forgotten. The girls wanted to hear more, and truly heard you. What will forever be remembered is the look each young lady had. I can never thank you enough for helping them to see they can and will always be fighters. You spoke to them more than I ever could. You may never see this message but for all who rebuild their lives, you are never alone. Reach out, be that fighter you are loved by people you haven't even met yet. Thank you Tom for the tears of thank you for sharing your story to my most amazing fighters that have graced my life.

I wouldn't normally say personal stuff on the internet to a bunch of strangers. But my mum, passed away two years ago yesterday when I woke up to Tom's new song. I've fought personal battles with depression, suicide, alcohol, daily life struggles, and trying to be the strong respectable person. But watching this was like listening to my mom still cheering me on to keep going and saying all the things she used to tell me. I used to brush it off and say "I know mom" but I really needed the push and the self respect boost. This one will be played on repeat for awhile and brought back whenever I needed that help from mom and that swift kick in the rear she used to give me when I didn't think i needed it, so thanks Tom. And anyone who reads all this ramble thanks.

I'm hearing this for the 1st time and I am literally weeping! I've been sober 11 yrs after 30 yrs of alcoholism & addiction and been in therapy for 1 1/2 yrs and currently, this song is me in the current moment. Thank you for speaking words I truly needed to hear! Thank you!

TOM! I am a woman of almost 50. I’m a believer. And I love this song! When my kids get home I will show this to them -all 7 of them. Thanks for this song! Blessings to you and yours

Tom, I'm a 49 year old, widower, broken down combat vet. I've felt dead inside for so long, but your music stirs something inside me. I love what you and Nova are doing. Keep it coming.

This is great! I'm 5 years cancer free. 3 years ago my dad and bf both died within a few months of each other. 13 years clean nov 6th. Never stop fighting. Take each day as it comes. Always know there are people out there rooting for you to succeed when everyone around you says you will fail. I'm walking proof of what fighting will get you.

Tom MacDonald sings beautiful words of encouragement.

Just lost my brother in law, this song reminds me of him he was in battles with himself and life a lot I hope he knew I felt he was a fighter for sure! RIP Dustin Tucker! 🙏

We can all agree that Tom MacDonald makes everyone's Friday's better💗

Struggling with depression. This song made me cry. It was just what I needed to hear today. Thank you Tom and Nova. I am a believer.

Thank you Tom for literally saving my life!! I came across a short you did, it hit me in my soul. Then I searched for the song that broke the internet... "Ghost" popped up. This song played instead. My depression was getting the better of me... here I am repeating this song!! Thank you, please keep speaking and singing and rapping from your heart to mine!! God Bless your soul!! Amen!!!

When I first found this song it saved my life thank you so much Tom I listen to this song ever single day so thank you❤

I’m 57 and fighting cancer. Love this song…hell, I love all your music. Keep up the good works of music and philanthropy…God made you exactly for our time. Blessings upon you always, young man.

This song put me in tears. Going through life, watching my husband struggle with cancer, chemo and the sickness. Thank God he never gave up and I am fortunate to still have him. Many family I have lost to addiction sickness...thank you for this song Tom..from my whole heart.

Toms music speaks to people across all ages and backgrounds. It’s amazing reading the comments. ❤

Every time I hear a new Tom Macdonald song, it becomes my new favorite song. ❤

I just lost my fiancé to addiction, and by the grace of God, I’m still sober. 5+ years, one day at a time. This song hit so hard. Thank you Tom. You really are moving people with your music. You are unlike any other artist that is out there today. so blessed to be a part of the HOG family. Never give up, never stop fighting, keep doing what you love and changing lives.

Thanks Tom, I've been battling depression and alcohol for years, this brought me to tears and gives me strength to keep fighting. God Bless

You're Heaven sent. Thank you for being you ❤ this world needs you Tom...Thank JESUS you're here.

This one brings me to tears every time. I'm 58 homeless and disabled in my hands and more.. I've been a strong woman all of my life but now at times I'm not feeling it. Thanks Tom for reminding me just who this lil cherokee is and what I'm made of!

As a Veteran of the USMC and recovering alcoholic, some of you artistry is so inspirational to me...This how a much deeper version of you...this song represents hope, belief in self and even inspires betterment of self. TOM you are so much more than even you allow yourself to be...so much more in Tom to see and I for one am enjoying the ride...Thanks for all you do Tom and thank you Nova for backing this man and his works and for all your amazing video talent..

I love this, I was homeless for over ten years. Seven years later, I just bought my first house. We all need this right now because lots of people are going through a lot. Thanks Tom and Nova, you seem to have a knack for putting out material that really says a lot about the times we are living through. Thanks for making it easier through your talents and gifts.

I HAVE OFTEN THOUGH OF ENDING IT BUT AFTER HEARING THIS SONG IT REALLY MADE ME RETHINK THINGS, I CANT THANK YOU ENOUGH FOR ALL THAT YOU DO.....MUCH LOVE FOR YOU AND URS! THX AGAIN

I've been fighting depression most of my life. It's can be devastating. You feel that every thing is your fault 💔

The common denominator of all of Tom’s songs is that people can be strong and can be fighters without violence and hatred. We can fight the system with unity and patriotism. We can fight our personal struggles with faith, support, empathy and inner strength. He is such an inspirational artist.

I lost my husband to cancer making me a widowed mom of 3 at 36, turned to alcohol, widowed a second time at 42 due to a heart attack. Fought and won my own battle with cancer. Luckily I found the fighter in me. I live every day with a positive mindset because the alternative is a very dark place. Thank you so much for the gift of this song. Anytime I need a little reminder I will be turning to this song. Amazing job Tom and Nova! #HOG4ever!!

Thanks Tom!! This song was "given " to me by my amazing son about a month maybe less after my husband (his soul dad) passed away. I didn't even make it to the 2nd line in the chorus. Music has always been our way of communicating with each other. When we didn't have the words to express our feelings. So this song does that for my boy. And helped heal his mama's heart. So a heart felt ty from a mom

This magical piece of music should be made into a prayer!!
I believe Tom!! Thank you for being so open and honest and making such a profound piece of music....

My mom use to tell me that a musician has officially “made it” when they can make someone cry from emotion. You made it! Thank you Tom!

I think a lot of people out there need to hear this.....Thank you Tom for trying to make the world a better place.

This song was sent to me by a lifelong friend who I haven't stayed in touch with. They knew!! I need this right now. Moving tomorrow and couch surfing. I've been sick for over a month, daily, got too sick to work and quit my job. I found out it's a gallstone, a few days ago. I bought myself a ring last week for my 55th birthday, that symbolizes believing in myself to get through this!!! Thank you for this moving song. It's my anthem right now!

Tom, I'm 47 years old and have seen a lot of ups and downs in my life, but I'm never too old to receive this message. Thank you sir!

Nothing stronger than for a man to open his heart and show his feelings.... keep climbing sir.... I love what you are doing!

You don't know how much this song means to me. My story is not being ill or sick 😷 🤧 I've been fighting with myself for a long time all for the wrong reason. I stumbled upon you with the song system. Btw it was brilliant. For me Fighter, it brought me back in the day when I founded my Lord and savior Jesus Christ. I was away from God for such a long time, 😭😭😭 this song brought me hope and love. Thank you Tom. Thank you for opening up my window. God Bless you and America

I'm battling my own demons and you have saved my life Tom McDonald with this song Thank you

I just lost my mom last month and my grandma earlier this year. This song is something I needed to hear. Thank you Tom. I love this song

This message is exactly what we need as a society right now. A big dose of hope, positivity, and faith.

Dear Tom…I’m very proud of you as a mother of my only son…a 36 yr old self taught musician, (drums, guitar, keyboards). He is also the father of my only 4 yr old granddaughter ❣️ I AM A BELIEVER…and I want to say God Bless YOU son, your family, and all of your musical endeavors to come 🫶🏼🙏🏼💯💜❤️🦋👍🥰🌸🌼🇨🇦🇨🇦

I was bulemic for most my teenage years...then had a daughter... It's always a fight, but your song has got me through some of the loneliest times and gave me courage. I'm healthy now and she's 13. Thank you

I've been battling PTSD with anger issues since I got back from Iraq. This song really helps. Thanks Tom, Nova and the Hangover Gang.

Tom MacDonald ... thank you. I'm a 55 yr old Mom and I could have very easily lost my only child last night over a bad decision he made. He just turned 33 last week, he is in the U.S. Air Force, he is stationed in Spain right now. Your music is more than music, it's more than art ... it is a calling. I'm so grateful to you for pouring your life into your talent and sharing with all of us out here struggling. Thank you Tom MacDonald, God bless you. I'm a forever fan of your work.

From a grandmother in the PNW thank you, Tom McDonald. Finally some current music I can play for my grandsons.

This song came out the month and year I was escaping my abuser, he beat me 10-9-2022 I had to wait until Thanksgiving to leave him it was the only way I could leave to see my family even though I begged him to come with me I'm glad he didn't he stole from me took everything I had and destroyed it this song came out when the week before I left him last year, I listen to it almost daily now and ball my eyes out every time, he told me my prayers by don't work but I pray every time I play this song and all I can do is cry and break down because I know this song is my prayer and God heard me. Thank you Divine for making such a beautiful soul who truly knows the fight for life is real. I wouldn't be alive if I didn't have a fighting spirit to know such love is real. Thank you!! Thank you! Thank you!

Man, I doubt Tom will ever read this, but I just need to thank him. I've been struggling with things a lot lately, and just putting on a happy face. Shit's gotten dark, but I kept pushing on. Today was especially bad. This song was absolute perfection for where I'm at right now.

I believe Tom and Nova don’t know how much they are needed in the world today!❤

Tom just wanted to say congrats on sobriety, a lot can’t comeback or even think they need to because they don’t realize the problem yet.
Keep doing it man, true inspiration.

Grieving so hard for my husband of 22 yrs who died recently. Wanting to give up. But this song reminded me that I am a fighter, and I can get through this because I am strong and I am a believer. Thank you Tom. I think this song will mean different things to different people and will help many get through whatever they are going through.

Dear, Tom. Out of all songs you produced, wrote, sang, performed, this is a masterpiece.

Sober since April 12th of this year! I owe it to God, myself and a little help from Tom. 🎉

I love this song and its message so much! I developed PTSD while serving in the military. PTSD brought me to my darkest place, and in this darkness, I found an intimacy with God I never knew was possible. I wouldn't trade an ounce of pain for what I've gained. The best healer is God, and his hope is stronger than any force in this world. That kind of hope doesn't fade; it multiplies and defies the odds. 🙏

Cried my face off listening to this. I needed this message, and I don’t ever get it from anyone or anywhere. This is a great mercy to many people struggling in silence Tom. Fantastic work.

Take this from a 59 year old grandmother of 10.... You are here for a reason Tom keep doing what you do!!! Ty my children And grandchildren need people like you... Again THANK YOU

One of my favorite songs and video by Tom Macdonald and Nova Rockerfella " FIGHTER " Two amazing and talented musicians. ❤ 😊 🇨🇦 🇺🇲

It's crazy but I start tearing up the moment I hear the opening organ notes and don't stop throughout the song. Thanks Tom and friends.

I’m sober 5 1/2 years and my fiancé passed away 90 days from fentanyl . This has been the hardest thing I’ve ever faced and honestly some days I don’t even want to get out of bed. He was actually the reason I am a fan of you, Tom. He introduced me to your music. Your songs about sobriety, and your struggles really connected with the two of us. I’m doing everything I can to believe that there was a reason for why he went so young, and I am a fighter, and I’m going to make it through. I’m so happy that this drop was a song of hope, strength, faith, and power. I’ve never seen an artist care more about his fans than you. We all truly do feel like we are part of you and nova’s family.

Wasn't planning on crying this morning, but here we are. Thank you Tom. Thank you for staying, Thank you for your words. Thank you for caring.

Oh my goodness. My daughter heard "I'm a Belieber" and seriously asked if that is what Tom said!! I was shocked and was like, "Oh Hell No"!!!
My friend has been blind for 25 yrs after being shot in the head. Getting his sight back was medically impossible. Sunday night at church he was being prayed for and said he started seeing shadows and light when he opened his eyes instead of darkness. It was confirmed Monday at his Dr appt via CT scan that his optic nerve was now miraculously reattached. His Dr is still scratching their head and he is praising God. My pastor and congregation are in awe of the greatness and power of what God is doing. Amen

As a hard-core Christian, who loves the gospel and hymns. And doesn't really like any of this contemporary modern church music. I honestly believe that Tom's song here should and will be added to the hymnal books in the future. We live in biblical times folks, and Tom makes songs relevant and transcribing the cycles of life/ mind that every person is battling with... this is a beautiful song Mr Tom and Ms Nova... thank you for blessing us with it... you two are important, more than you know or, might even realize... this song will be added to the hymns one day. I'll make sure of it... God bless you two, and God bless everyone else...

I'm a 33 year old first generation farmer in my third straight year of failure. Fighting the doubts and fighting the world puts you between two different wars. All I can say is I needed this... So bad... I needed to hear that I'm hanging on not for the sake of fighting but because I KNOW deep down things will be ok... I needed you and this song on THIS night to keep me believing.

Celebrating 20 months of sobriety today, and this song is on repeat! Thanks so much, Tom!! I'm a fighter!🥊🥊🥊🥊🥊🥊

when I listen to all your music, I get emotional, no matter what song it is, I put on my Head Phones and its like my own personal church. keep preaching Rev Tom MacDonald, you are what we need right now. I'm a Believer.

Tom, you don’t know how much I needed to hear this message today…. Thank you.

Fuck I said I wasn't gonna cry today.. thank you Tom, this was exactly what I needed to hear

I'm a disabled veteran with PTSD who has battled with alcohol & drug addiction for years. This year it has been so hard for me to maintain my sobriety & mental health. I lost my mother to Corona virus in February, my oldest brother in March to a heart attack and my younger brother to cancer just a few months ago. This song really hit home for me as I thought I was losing my faith in myself & God. I needed this message. Ty so much for giving people like me such an inspirational song. Keep making great music!

This song makes me think of my stage 4 heart failure I had 5 open heart surgeries & 3 devices in my heart 1st L-Vad Than a Defibrillator that ended up giving me blood poisoning, now a Titanium plug in my heart to plug the hole from the L-VAD I never needed for 2 in a half years. I thank God I am here & got 2nd advice from Froedtert hospital that saved my life in 6 months. this song I listen to everyday that reminds me of my Heart attack at age 27 a stroke same age. This makes me feel more empowered for thankfully beating stage 4 heart failure. THANK YOU, TOM, FOR THIS BEAUTIFUL SONG & ALL YOUR MUSIC!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

I survived a terrible traffic accident at 18, it was a wonder I even survived. In 2016, I still took tramadol daily to be able to live with the pain and doctors concluded further recovery was impossible, and I would stay 15% disabled in my upper body.
I couldn't accept this fate at such a young age, I refused to live as a disabled person dependent on pain medication. I started training, revalidating, using every bit of info I could find. I perfected my diet.
It is now 2023 and I am 99% fully recovered.
Thank you for this song, it covers what I went through at a young age.

My wife is 33 and battling breast cancer. It's an aggressive form. It's the scariest thing my little family has ever gone through. Yr music helps us so much brother.. this song and yr cancer song speak right to our hearts. No matter what the future holds for my wife, at least We will always have yr music, thank u for that gift.

I'm just a small town Canadain guy but I just got clean this year... I was locked up for years and was a no good bastard... all of your songs have spoken to me and they get me through each day... but this song just broke me... I can't thank you enough for what you do... I promise I'd be dead if I never heard your music. But I'm clean and sober 8 months now. Please don't ever stop. H.O.G

This song takes me back to a time when I had no choice but to fight, after I was diagnosed with cancer, aged 15. I'm now 10 years clear, with an amazing fiancé, and 2 beautiful children ❤️.

When I was ten years old I literally had a dream of dying that left me feeling so good. Every day for me was a battle with my sense of self worth. I have had other bouts of depression but fought through them by looking inside myself and finding my worth. This is a great song that resonates. Thank you Tom. 😊

The number of people who need the message from this video is countless. Myself included. Thank You.

LOVE THIS!! As a mental health and drug/alcohol therapist, I share your songs with clients CONSTANTLY! You are living proof of hope, love for every one in equal measure and the infinite value and capacity of ALL OF US!! You speak to everyone in such personal ways that it can only come from having lived, survived and thrived! God bless you and Nova and all your loved ones!!!

Thanks for believing in all of us, Tom. We needed to hear this.

I’m 60 and love your inspirational music and your the voice that needs to be heard I hope it gives the younger generations to understand what is really important and fight with all your might to create change, ❤️🇺🇸😍

THIS SONG PULLED ME THROUGH THE WORST PART OF MY STRUGGLE. TODAY I CELEBRATE TRIPLE DIGITS. 100 DAYS CLEAN FROM MY ADDICTION. THANK YOU TOM.

I needed this right now. I'm fighting lung cancer that has spread to my spine. I also lost my daughter to an overdose. Keep fighting.

His music is such a gift.

Man, I'm 40, and just had my first kid. My life was a wasteland of drugs and alcohol and trouble. This song really hits hard, and it's this kind of attitude that pulled me through. The kids need this song, thank you Tom.

I swear Tom hits you in the feelz like no one else.

Favorite one yet...God put you here with a message and it's coming through loud and clear. Very thankful for your courage and tenacity and guts to speak truth. Always in my prayers, Tom.

I cried during this song. Thank you.

Thank you TOM!!! FOR GIVING Me HOPE!!!!❤

You have no idea how much some of us needed exactly this, exactly now Tom. Thank you so much for all you've done and all you do.

This one hit home! Literally made me cry and gave me chills!

THANKS 🙏 FOR FRIDAYS🎉🎊💯

I believe Tom was put here to bring us all together!❤

Needed that so freakin bad today. Thank you crew for the positivity and love. Love y'all.

Tom, you are such a brilliant artist. Thank you for being so raw, honest and vulnerable. I understand depression, alcohol and pills. You are an inspiration.

My son loves this song! I caught him singing it a couple times now

Literally in tears. Touched my heart deeply. Great affirmations. Thank you, Tom.

I'm six months sober today, and that is largely thanks to you and your music. Thank you.

An Angel sent from God who sees all! God Bless you Tom Macdonald ❤
