Pat Benatar said this back in the day, in 1983, in Love Is A Battlefield. Her music video for that tune is a slap in the face for those that throw shade on the lost girls.
@@MrsRealistic I'm so old I barely remember Pat Benatar, lol. But I do remember how it made me realise how f*cking lucky I was, (& still am) but I worry about the futures my granddaughters, & now my great-granddaughter, face. This world, we, have a lot of work to do. 🌸
@@hazmania I couldn't agree more! I fear for my children...I just hope we're raising them to be able to think critically and make the world a better place!
Joe couldn't go fast enough, get drunk enough, or take too many chances. To make matters worse, he overdosed on Mother's Day. His parents have never gotten over losing their only child.@@MrsRealistic
Nova is a chameleon, she changes based on what is needed for the mood of the song. She can go from rap rap to breaking your heart to anything in between. Nova signed with a label back when she was a teenager, 18 I think, and has only now gotten out of the last of the legal entanglements from that. This is her first solo, fully independent release. Such a powerful song. 💔 🤘❤🔥 #NovaRockafeller #HangOverGang
Nova is finally free of her record contract, I would expect to hear a lot from her soon. She said she needed to write 2 to 3 more songs for a new album. I can’t wait.
nova was b ounced from group home to group home this song was super close to her heart she was crying about it 3 days after her drop plus this is her first independant song release as well.
Nova did a live where she watched content creators react to her song. She was bawling. She talked about how raw she was because of the song. She had written it a long time ago. She also shared that she got a call from an old friend to let her know that one of the girls they grew up in the group home with had overdosed.
This song hits way to close to home for me. I've heard this song hundreds of times and I'm still sobbing like baby. I grew up in a chaotic home. My grandmother arranged my marriage to a man when I was 15. So this hits me hard😢
@@MrsRealistic I am. But unfortunately it took 2 shattered ankles and relearning to walk and just basically hating life during age 18-19 as soon as I could walk and I ran away from my situation 3 yrs later I had my first daughter and I swore to her and myself it never would be something she'd ever have to deal with I made that promise to all my kids.
Nova grew up in group homes (which is in the social service system) but obviously they failed her and many others. It's still happening today. Very sad and Nova is still trying to heal from those demons, BUT LOOK at her NOW. God is good!
I left hpme at 12 I was a lost boy Im now 69 Lost a lot of friends And alot of us made it This song brings back alot of memories both good and bad. I love this song
She tried to keep it light and bubbly musically so we could survive the lyrics. But for me it still hits hard enough I cry every time and pause a lot. I was homeless for two years (21-23), but as a guy with a brain I made a lot of good choices and never went hungry or broke the law. Does it count? Yes. But it's not even in the same category.
This song is no doubt one of her best solo efforts! I love all of her old stuff and all her Tom MacDonald produced music. Hey You, Problem, Dear Nova, Call Me Batman and Lost Girls,,,thats my top 5 Nova songs! She is a brilliant artist who was betrayed by the music industry. Tom MacDonald was her knight in shining armour he saved her from the music industry and she saved Tom by believing in him. I dont know if Tom breaks through without Nova? Is Nova Tom's muse or is Tom Nova's muse? I think its a mutual arrangement,,,whatever it is its magical.
I think neither of them would be there without each other. They are each other's support system and cheerleaders. I love the way you put it... they are each other's muse for sure!
Nava has an older song called "Dear Nova" where she talks more about her life and she mentions being raped.... She crawled through hell and made it out the other side.
I was on my own from the age of 15 but was lucky enough to make the right choices. I got a part time job and a roommate and finished school. I didn't screw things up until I was in my thirties haha.
I am glad you are there to support your daughter/ I can see when you said you are sheltering her...but please don't hide the ugly truth of the world from her. I was extremely sheltered and when I graduated and left home, I had no clue about the dark side. Ended up getting raped multiple times. Now I have PTSD.
We have a lot of talks with her about these kinds of things. We are making sure she feels safe to ask us questions and talk to us. And I don't ever want her to worry that she needs to leave home at 18 just because she's reached some arbitrary number. I'm so sorry you went through that. I can't imagine how awful it must have been. I hope you find peace and healing. God bless you 🙏
Or maybe she loved the way it sounded with this song and didn't think anything else hit the effect she was trying to produce. Lazy is not a word I would use to describe Nova.
