Call your local stations and request "Ghost by Tom MacDonald" because apparently this is a thing that works and you want me to scream my face off for forever. My main account is @novarockafeller
No need to pay $50K, you just need a girlfriend who loves you more than anything and believes in you like crazy. You guys are awesome and have put a smile on my face. The pups seemed happy, too. 😂
When I worked in radio I always played music by local bands, guys with a song they wanted to get out,and just anyone that normally wouldn't get airtime. Let people hear it and decide. Congrats guys!
This takes me back to the 80's when we called radio stations to request songs to be played on the air. Lol. Congrats Tom and Nova. You deserve all the success in the world. Love you guys!
I really miss that too I remember being young and staying up late during the summer and requesting a song for a crush, more than likely they never heard it!😏
I am a 62 year old retired dj from Orange County ca. I absolutely love everything that I’ve seen you guys do. It’s really exciting to see you guys pull this off without having to sell your souls. Too flipping cool.
Hahaha well said , glad to see people having success and Nova being so happy that she doesn't know what to do with herself,. They are the most real people in the music space, they are funny why
Absolute heart deep congratulations you two. It's awesome you guys have accomplished this all without a huge, money grubbing, record label sucking the life from you guys. I'll continue to buy your albums until the day you stop creating your art. Love you guys. HOG 4 LIFE!!
I find myself privileged to be able to witness a legendary, inspirational, revolutionary role model (who I may also mention is only mirrored in excellence by their other half) finally get closer to recognition they deserve. This is big, but knowing the two of you, this isn't the completion of one race, it's a qualification of admittance to another. Love you guys!!!
Flipping the bird to the system by getting to the radio without a label deal. Just awesome. The mutual freakout is priceless. More of you two just being you. The Internet needs more.
Holy crap I can FEEL the happiness y'all have I'm sooooo excited for you guys ❤️ couldn't happen to better people. All of us are squee-ing along with you 🥰🥰🥰
Nova you don't need to apologize!! Damn Tom you are seriously making music history!!! Idk any other independent artist playing on the radio!!!! You guys are fckn awesome!! I missed the post about your tour dates.... Please tell me you're gonna come to Vegas... Never ever been to a concert my entire life your albums were the very first albums I actually paid for so it's only fitting for your concert to be my first!! I'm so happy for you guys!!! Nova I love your laugh and personality!!! Keep on making history love being a fan and watching you show everyone who says you can't do something and then you do it!
Whooohooo!! What a amazing year end celebration for #HOG Tom and Nova, thank you so much for doing this stream and letting us share in your joy! I’m so happy!!! 😁😁😁😁😁
You both don’t just make music. You create masterpieces that make us think, make us laugh, and make people look at the world through a prism that the media, big pharma, government, etc tries to hide from us. You and Tom inspire me to keep grinding because there are blessings after life’s storms. I wear a tattoo of a lyric from one of the songs to remind me of this. I only have visible tattoos on my forearms. One is in memory of my Dad and the other forearm is the lyrics. The fact that you and Tom are killing the industry independently is amazing!! Hears to continued success. Hangover gang for ever! ❤👻
To watch Nova...a woman who has great intelligence , phenomenal fortitude, and selfless compassion and love...experience such joy that she, herself becomes a super nova, with a light so bright that the rest of the universe is in awe. That is how every year should be begin. Thank you
this just shows how down to earth you both are, you didn't even mention being #1 on charts for the radio stations to play your song... didn't even think about it wow.
I LOVE YOU guys!!! I love your laughter, your banter and the love you have for each other!! You are BOTH amazing people! I’m a 54 year old grandma from Nashville Tennessee, Church introduced me to you and now I’m singing every word of so many of your songs!❤❤
You realize you've already reached legend status, right? You're name will be remembered just as is Tupac, Elvis, the Beatles, etc... Can't help but feel happy watching you two, either in music videos, or chatting with us. Nova is like an animated ball of sunshine and cheer. ♥️
I love you Nova!!! I would have done the same as you, call every station I could think of!!! And then Tom follows through by calling in!!! I'm so happy for you both!! You got me crying in excitement for you!! You deserve every play on the radio that is played out there!!! The moral of the story is you did this INDEPENDENTLY! HOG-4-EVER!!🌺❤️💯🔥🔥👍😎♥️🌺🌹
I LOVE seeing you two so happy. All the work you've put into this is now paying off. The hangovergang will always be here to support you guys. We love you!
What a way to end a year!! Very Thrilled for you both to be fully independent and yet end up being on the radio in multiple places Congratulations Tom for proving that you don't need record label companies help to make something for yourself. Especially when you have the amazing Nova doing your videos!! Thank you Tom for doing you!! H O G For Life!!!
That's EXACTLY how excited my 10 yr old daughter was after opening her signed CD's on Christmas morning!! She didn't take her Renegade sweatshirt off for 2 days!!! We even bought her a portable CD player (yes they still exist) to rock her favorite artists, yes she loves you too Nova! The only thing she was mad about...Not getting her ALL your CD's! You both speak truth and are REAL and that's what I teach them. You proved that the Devil may have had you both by the tail for a minute, but GOD is using you to speak truth. We all have to crawl through our own darkness yet God gives every one of us the opportunity to see the light. Be YOU, Be REAL, keep being BEYOUtiful!
Congratulations guys. That put a huge smile on my face. Seeing how happy this makes you guys made my year. All you hard work is paying off. Nova your reaction brings tears of joy. Keep it up love you guys
That was so AMAZING to watch the excitement you were experiencing. Congratulations to you both and Tom thanks for being truthful and real. You are a POP star now !!! Love y’all Can’t wait to see you both live. Happy New Year. What a year you have to look forward to. Take care.
I laughed so hard watching how happy you both were .. but seriously , you both never doubt it would never happen did ya ? "Bad News" is one of my favorites...of course when I sing along , my female pit bulls barks at me until I stop lol ..congratulations 😆
I am so happy for you guys! It's not cringe though, it's self promotion which is what independent artists do! Plus now that people have heard it on the radio, the stations will start getting more requests! Hell yeah! Nova, you are a nut! You always crack me up girl. Both of you guys do! Congratulations and Happy New Year!
So happy for you both. Congratulations, you both deserve this recognition. My 15 year old daughter has been calling our local radio station trying to get them to play Ghost. Fingers crossed. HAPPY NEW YEAR!
I'm so unbelievably excited and happy for you guys. I don't have the words to express my happiness, gratitude, and appreciation I have for you both. I know these things are probably said to you time and again so it may seem "all the same." But let me tell you how deeply personal this all is for me as well. You both deserve all the recognition for all the positive things you put out there. Thanks again guys
The reason people cite the money needed for getting on the radio, is the radio usually need permissions from a studio, or promotion from a studio to play tracks. Tom on the other hand can just say "I own the song and you can play it"
Great job!!! I remember the first time I was on the radio.. my girlfriend called and said OMG your on the radio, it's the best feeling knowing all your had work paid off. HOG forever!!!!
There's NOTHING cringe about this!!! Y'all are having a great time and you absolutely deserve it!!! We are celebrating with you and super happy for your success! Thank you for sharing your joy with us!! #HOG #MyFavoriteRapperIsAROCKSTAR
Swear to God, this video made me feel like I was right there with you, laughing and dancing and cheering your success. Thank you! And congratulations!!
This is the cutest thing ever I had so much fun watching this. I always wanted to see what you guys were like just being yourselves freely. It’s hard to get a hold of radio stations in my podunk town but I’ve been calling around
Name one artist that ever lived that shows this much appreciation for their fans: Tom MacDonald & Nova Rockafeller That’s it !!!!!!!!!! Thank you for sharing this with your friends and if you thought you were going to blow up before 2023 the year of independent musicians /artist/producers/choreographers/distributors………
I'm calling it this is officially your best video ever I love it we rarely get to see the excitement of our favorite artists getting recognized and played on the radio I love it congrats to you both
No cringe here, love this channel, thanks for the peak into your lives. Everything you get is deserved on what you put into it. Don't believe in instant anything, believe in hard work and it will produce as it is for you both.
Beyond thrilled!!! Its about time. Tom and Nova, your family and friends are an inspiration. Balling my eyes out, hearts full of so much joy and happiness for you guys. Happy New Year, Hangover gang 4life!!!
So deserving of this. Everytime I hear Ghost on the radio I tear up. So inspirational -- not only that true love still exists, but also to never give up. HOG we are here together, you are never alone.
Ya'll made me forget my troubles tonight.....your surprise & excitement was absolutely infectious & I couldn't be more proud of my young friends! Yeah! I made you my friends & I look forward to the fun I know I'm gonna have when we get together! In truth, I'm a lonely old lady in Texas, (3 black cats, no children, no family) who's gradually become more&more fond of YOU, bc of the endearing & respectable qualities I recognize in both of you as individuals. Adorable together as a couple. Top tier work ethics as a Team. And, that yellow sofa has my name all over it!! 💛 lol....when I saw the yellow sofa I gasped & said aloud, "I'm connected to Tom & NOVA! Wooohooo!" Congratulations On Your Big Radio Day!🎉👏🎉👏🎉👏🎉👏🎉 ♥️👻♥️👻♥️👻♥️👻♥️👻♥️
Dude! I flipped my shit yesterday when I heard Ghost on the radio! I typically listen through RU-vid, but we were in my girlfriends car yesterday, and just happened to turn the radio on as it came on and we both went nuts screaming it at the top of our lungs! Holy shit you guys did it!! Soooo much love for you guys and have been listening since the early days! Ghost is one of me and the girlfriends big jams! We love you so much and are so excited to see it happening! We here for history!!! 🥰
This is such a wonderful dose of sincere joy and happiness! We love watching you succeed and thank you for sharing so we can live vicariously and experience theses moments as if we were right there too! ❤
This has me smiling SO BIG while tears of joy are streaming down!! You too DESERVE this and so much more, #HOG is as excited as the both of you 💗 💖 CONGRATULATIONS 🎊 👏 🙏🏼 💐 🥳 💖
You guys so deserve the adoration of your achievements for all your hard work. Middle finger to the big wings in the music industry. Love from London 🤪🤪
Congrats to you guys for getting some WELL DESERVED air time. Way to go, wishing you guys the best for new coming year. Much love and respect from Sterling Heights, Michigan. Peace \\m//.
I cannot believe how happy this made me. It kind of feels like we all made it together, and as a bonus, got to watch and share the moments with two of the most wonderfully genuine people in the business (or "not" in the business :-). Thanks Tom and Nova for sharing, this was pure fire. Happy New Year! ❤️
As an artist, this is extremely beautiful to see. My boyfriend and I support each other in completely different fields we definitely go above and beyond to make sure the other is moving up the way they deserve to. Even when the world doesn’t want to see it yet. Love you guys. Bought the song!
I love this content, reminds me of the early 90s when as kids we would have to call radio stations to play our favorite songs. Great stuff you two keep it up!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Tom & Nova- I am so so incredibly happy for you guys right now. I am crying happy tears in my living room! I force anyone and everyone that’s around me to listen to you- most of them fall for you like I did, one exception being my 14 y/o daughter “Tom MacDonald AGAIN mom, really?!” My 6 y/o son and 5 y/o daughter are just learning music appreciation and they absolutely love your stuff!! Thank you for everything you do, love and light in the new year!
Nothing cringe about it! You guys created something and are excited and proud and I would do the same damn thing. I can't stop smiling! Yall deserve this more than anyone!
This is awesome guys! I love how open and real this is. Just pure honesty, like opening your door and letting the world into your living room for a little while. So few artists would be able to do that. Thank you! Love you guys!
Love you guys!! I am glad my dogs aren't the only ones who get excited when Tom is singing/rapping...one of them barks to the words..lol. Happy New Year to both of you!
This is the furthest thing from cringe! This is excitement, authenticity and the most adorable energy in earth. Look what you made happen Nova! The dog train was the best lol. You two are the cutest, and I am SO happy for you! Thought I would mention for next time... I bet if you had mentioned it is the number one song on itunes you would have gotten less questions about playing it in air lol.
You guys are so cute together and genuinely excited! I am super happy for both of you!! Congrats on the songs you write, Tom. I am 66 and think you are amazing!
You guys are so real. That's why we love you. I'm so happy you're finally getting radio play. You deserve it and HOG is going to keep on pushing to get you both the recognition you deserve. Proud of you both and I loved the dog parade.
