Tom didn't even know how relevant this song would be in 2020.

This song has so much more meaning today in 2020...

This song means even more now that i know what you were going through when you filmed it. Glad you're sober, i cant wait to be where youre at mentally. I was on your live tonight and left a million comments. You speak to my soul Tom.

One of my favorite Tom Macdonald songs!💔

Your music NEEDS to be heard in EVERY HOUSEHOLD. Your music NEEDS to be heard MORE!!!!!

Dear Tom MacD, I just got introduced to your lyrical, prophetic art less than a year ago and you're my favorite artist EVER. Your music speaks to my soul, treats my wounds, and makes me know I'm not the only one who sees, understands and feels what I feel. You speak so much truth it's unbelievable. Bought all three autographed discs from HOG and looking forward to buying some apparel. I'll rep your music hard bro. Keep being you, or whatever you want to be, I'll respect it. Much love brother. 💯

Why am i just seeing this? Tom is truly the goat..

Tom you and Nova are truly a POWER COUPLE...you put your heart and soul in your music and I love your heart. Stay they way you are and keep doing what you are doing.

I feel like an asshole that it took a diss track for me to go down the Tom MacDonald rabbit hole and learn how fucking heartfelt and real you were......

Perfect song for 2020/2021...one of my favorite songs by Tom

That moment you go back to Tom's roots and remember although different compared to his modern tracks the message is still there. Keep it up the world needs the truth!

My hope is that hearts will turn around enough...to write a sequel to this called "How the West was ONE!"

Feel like saying he's talented is insulting. unbelievable, unique & actually something to say

So so powerful. His voice is SOOOO beautiful

Timeless music with conscious message. ART.

As part of the generation that remembers where there was none and witnessed the towers on tv from class and watched the world change in front of me this is deep... Sorry i slept on ya Tom McDonald but im here now

YESSSS thank you for releasing this old stuff.

Tom kills it on every track. Most slept on rapper alive. Keep grinding, man. Your music helps so many of us get through the day and strive for better.

Tom Please redo this song,.... Its so relevant...!!

Thomas what a rush this rollercoaster ride of emotional ups and downs is so epic Metis Gal, Alberta Canada. 8 years of Music and love pouring into the hearts WHO see and seek love you and respect beyond words can Express ❤🇨🇦❤

Oh for God's sakes, wake up people. Listen. He's talking about us being brought down.

Tom is legendary!

❤❤❤❤❤❤ So, talented and amazing "Tom Macdonald "

Wow...how this doesn't have millions of views is beyond me. Powerful beyond description. Thank you for saying something.

Amazing beautiful soul

[Verse 1] I woke up last night in the living room Left the TV on, fell asleep to the news I've become numb to the violence, I cannot hear no more cryin' Or sirens or stories 'bout Paris or terrorist threats to the country where I live Buncha politicians steady lying on the TV still Buncha young mo'fuckers fightin' with the police and the police kill Buncha students gettin' killed in an air strike, no one even care like I wonder if they taught 'em that they'd never win a fair fight [Pre-Chorus] Huh, how the west was won How the west was won How the west was won How the west was won [Chorus] Oh, when the lights go out, maybe then we'll see When the lights go out, maybe that's what we need When the lights go out and the job gets done Maybe that will be-be, be, be how the west was won [Verse 2] Had a drink last night while the city burned That I been to twice, but it didn't hurt The images didn't seem real, I'm too far to feel The fear and the anger and hatred and no one that I know got killed, I sat there and chilled Too many pictures of people that died way too young Too many bombings for me to keep up with, remember when there was none Too many dead for my tears, too many lost for my love Too many cry for my ears, how the west was won [Pre-Chorus] How the west was won How the west was won How the west was won How the west was won [Bridge] I woke up last night in the living room Left the TV on, fell asleep to the new new news I've become numb to the violence, I cannot hear no more cryin' Or sirens or stories 'bout Paris or terrorist threats to the country where I live [Chorus] When the lights go out, maybe then we'll see When the lights go out, maybe that's what we need When the lights go out and the job gets done Maybe that will be be be be how the west was won

This has to be one of, if not his most underrated song ever

The world needs this much realness and positive msgs in music now more than ever

Thank you.

My heart is with you and every masterpiece you share with the world, this is a painful reminder of how our society is plagued by violence and it's our right as humans to change it for the better, for our future and for our youth. This gave me goose bumps, beautiful Tom! You are a true genius!

Incredible from the beginning. Just wow. I wish more people knew your music.

Your one of a few rappers who actual tell how everything really is. You don’t sugarcoat anything.

I Know looking through the comments this song is either hated or loved. After finding you about a year or 2 ago I've tried to find all your work that you've made. This for what ever reason and past the message your delivering is one of my favorite. I can literally lay in bed with this song on repeat for hours man. Keep doing you. Your an amazing artist bro.

Love this Tom!❤

You can 100% see he is struggling, in his breakdown on this one. Hard to watch him struggle. So proud of how far he has come.

128,393 views as of late on June 30th, 2019. What a shame. Such an amazing song.

Absolutely love how everything you put out is completely different from the one before or after. Don’t ever let let anyone push you away from what you’re doing. We need these messages that you’re delivering.

Tom this is Absolutely Beautiful man🙏 you convert energy of pain into healing. Even a rose grows in dirt, your message is the rose 🙏

If only the world could be made to listen to toms music if only for a hour a day for a few weeks, I believe he could change the world for the better
