"I wished on shooting stars. Or were they satellites? Maybe they were too far. I must've blown apart a million dandelions. Now they don't grow in my yard " This is my favorite Tom song.
This song a centre chest punch for me. That line in the chorus, 'I must've blown apart a million dandelions, now they don't grow in my yard.' That has such a time marches on symbolism to it. When you're young you let the 'weeds' grow and flower and have fun wishing/dreaming on what is to come, but as you get older your 'yard' gets more ordered and all the 'weeds'/play/dreams are either gone or grown out. Leaving just a plain yard of monochromatic grass.
Very true, but for me I'm blessed. I live at the bottom of a mountain on 12 acres of pastures. Dandelions, Queen Anne's lace buttercups and wildflowers grow everywhere. I have a friend who makes Dandelion wine, but I hadn't really thought much about of them since I was a child. After experiencing and loving this song though, now I look across the fields at all those Dandelions and just smile....Thank you Tom.🌼
I love this song more than anything. I have never suffered from addiction because my parents were alcoholics and suffered a very rough childhood because of it. I refuse to drink. I suffer from severe anxiety and depression though. As a single mother I often feel like a failure to my children because I am not happy enough. This song and alot of his music has helped me in so many ways ❤ #HOG
One of my favourites, we romanticise growing up so much only to find out there is no magic formula and everyone is just trying their hardest. And those simpler days where you had no real worries and hadn't lost your sence of wonder yet were priceless
Cliff your understanding of Tom is the reason I feel your one of the best reactors out their already. Yes he writes his songs, but had the best editor out their in Nova. He had straight out said she helps him with hooks. I'm sure she helps where needed. As well your the only reactor I've heard that keeps hearing her in the background singing. This song is just a pure hit that speaks to the soul of adults. So innocent pure. Pure 🔥 review 💯🔥🔥🔥🔥 #hangovergang Time for "My Fans"
@@CliffBeatsOfficial Cliff great reaction, I'm 49yr old man whose lost both of my parents, a sister & don't speak to my only brother for reasons unknown, I have a lot to be thankful for with a beautiful wife of 25yrs & 3 beautiful daughters, but this song brings tears to my eyes, I'm NOT ashamed to admit it either.🙏
My wish....that this virus leaves me alone for good!! I'm back home again for the 3rd time in a month, hopefully I'm good this time. While I was watching you in the hospital all the nurses would come in and ask "who's that" and I'd say that's Cliff Beats the leader of the AOD LOL they'd all be like he's so cute and I'd tell them they better keep their eyes in their head he got a girl they'd just giggle...but would keep popping in and out saying you watching that Cliff Beats again lol So thank you you made all my hospital stays so much better for me! Much love & respect to you my friend ❤️
I hope it doesn’t come back too Mimi. I’m happy you’re finally home and I hope you’re able to relax. I’ve been thinking about you this whole time and I feel at ease each time I see one of your messages. And that’s funny about the nurses. I always tell my girl I’m trading her in at 30. Her warranty expires! Jk jk jk! Thank you for checking in and letting me know you’re home. Please continue to rest and if you need me... just reach out any second of any day Mimi! ❤️
This is my absolute favorite tom song. Lol the VHS tapes. My kids build towers out of them. I have tried to toss then so many time. This song akways makes me nostalgic.
I really feel that line. I’m sure many know that when you get anxiety at times and depression you will literally be contemplating ending it but then having a panic attack when contemplating your mortality on another night. It sounds contradictory, but if you have ever been through it or had someone close be through it you will get what he is saying.
This is my fave Tom song, it just hits with me on an emotional level, I’ve played it at least a few hundred times and I still get chills and my eyes tear up. Always enjoy your reactions!! Thank you ❤️
I love this song, so underappreciated. It really hits you in the feels, it brings back so many childhood memories. Was nice hearing your stories too, love that about your reactions. Looking forward to the next one, Hope you get some sleep too x
Tom is just a different breed. The first video I saw of his was his second diss to Mac Lethal. I didn't know who either of them were, and I don't even like rap. I don't know what compelled me to click on the video. He looked like he would be the type of rapper that normally I'd laugh at to myself and I was just curious. Oh man, I heard that diss and I was catching a lot of the wrestling references he was using and certain bars had my jaw dropping. So I watched his first diss track and then Mac Lethal's response. I then stumbled onto Whiteboy right after and was instantly a fan. I could just tell there was something different about him so I went through every song, and there were very few that I didn't absolutely love. It was a very happy surprise the day I accidentally found his music. I can't say it has changed my life, but it DOES give me hope that I'll eventually get there.
Random comment (after you mentioned the movie...) My sons first name is Wilson- he actually named his channel “Wilson From Castaway” bc I always joked he got his name from a volleyball 🤦♀️
This is a beautiful song. I'm really glad this song lifted you. It lifts me. You're a good one Cliff Beats 💯🤝 My two sons and I just watched this reaction together. #HOG family #HangOverGang 🤘
34 shows up in my life all the time too.....looked it up and it means knowledge, introspection, accumulation of knowledge and wisdom, creativity, imagination and optimism
Thats crazy about the VHS tapes. When I was a kid (only child) and watching tv, I would build VHS forts around myself... I never understood why I did it!! LOL 😆 but I relate
Also props to you cliff .. hearing the vhs tapes thing was creative,… big love and a H.O.G man hug ..stay up bro .. Toledo Ohio .. 47 .. your adopted man been needing that brother .. big ups to you keep pushing forward and never “ look down”💯✌🏼❤️🙏🤘
This one is my ring tone. I listen to it for a second before I answer lol #hog4life Tom truly understands depression and anxiety. I've wish that I could kill myself but also be immortal is so true every day for most of my life.
Aww that was sweet! Thank you Shannon! Yes, no judgement here. Just real reactions with a real person. I encourage everyone talking to me and eachother about good music and positive constructive criticism. I appreciate your kind words!! 👊 🔥 👊 🔥
I dont know why but the track had me thinking of the one time I was really happy and having fun as a child. We were at some big family birthday at some rented huge place me and my cousins explored the building and found a room full of pillow cubes like minecraft even before minecrafdt was a thing where you could build and jump around it was so fucking awesome and I never had that much fun or sense of wonder in my entire life ever again..
34 means your guides are trying to tell you to stay positive. You are on the right path and to keep thinking about where you want your life to be and you will get there.
Love your break downs. This song is one of my favorites from him. Are you still in the Chicago area? I would love to see you do more GFBF. "Foul Mouth Wasted" and "Rejects"
Hey, bro, another great reaction. I can identify with a few of these peoples wishes. I wish I wasn't fat(but I am working on that). I wish I wasn't sick( but I am getting better every day). Hope your back gets to feeling better. Peace.
I think it's safe to say Tom and Nova have rubbed off so hard on each other they became almost a new entity. It's a good thing and I hope their happiness lasts an eternity. Whoever reads this you are my brother or sister and although we may not look the same or share the same parents, I love you unconditionally faults and all. We can overcome any foe when we stop hating for them or loving for our own gain.
Glad I found you! Sub for sure, here. Definitely one of his more underrated songs. He can do anything. HOG ♥️🤘 *Ever think about Falling In Reverse react?!
Heidi that's who I agree this song and " I hate hip hop" are my two favorites. I can totally relate in my own way to this one, and the other makes me want to mosh like when I was a kid,lol
