Nova Rockafeller - "DID YOUR BEST"

This may sound odd... But I just want to be friends with Nova and Tom. They just seem like solid people.

I have no idea how a 56 year old guy stumbled on this song today. As I sit here in tears at my office getting ready to go back to sit with my dying mother I want to thank you.

This song hit me hard. I was a raging alcoholic but I finally got sober. After I commented below, soon after everything changed. I got my family back. My kids have told me many times how proud they are of me and that they forgive me. They know that I am doing my best. When my son’s team lost their playoffs, I sent my son a text from this song. “Son, I know you did your best. I know there’s more to you than the wars you lose, you’ll see.” Thank you for giving those words. Through this song, I finally found a way to forgive myself for all that I have done. I now have the ability to be the father I want to be without the shame. I cannot understate how your work helped me. One day, when things are going wrong, I want you to remember that YOUR work brought this broken old man back from a bad place. I can’t help but think God will bless you as you blessed me.

Nova, I’m 63, my Naval-pilot dad was killed in a passenger MAC flight when I was 12. Mom was diagnosed w/ MS in the 80s. She died in ‘99. I’m here to tell you “there’s more to YOU than the wars you lose,” too!! The pain of that trauma will never leave - but love makes it bearable!! God bless you & Tom!!♥️

You can tell she poured her fucking soul into this one.

This is absolutely amazing 🙏🏼

This song breaks my heart. Both my parents were addicts. Raised by my grandparents. My grandfather died unexpectedly, and i never got to have that sit down talk with him. This literally brought me to tears. Love you Nova, Tom. God bless yall

Gotta love Nova and Tom, gems of the word weavers and storytelling

You and Tom inspire way more people than you could ever imagine.

This girl is the real deal. enough of the fkng singing about money and clothes n shit. We need more real music like this.

Great message in a fantastic song from a wonderfully talented young lady!

She pours her heart into her work. It's unbelievable and beautiful at the same time

"But There's more to you than the wars you lose, you'll see" Damnnnn that hit me.

AIGHT NOVA! THATS WHAT IM TALKIN ABOUT✊🏼

Yesterday was my dads 83 birthday he has Párkinson and is recovering from Covid, we thought he was not going to make it and I let him know how wonderful he made my life and 2 brothers that he should have zero regrets as he is the best dad I could have asked for, just found this after listening to Tom and wow it hit home. I just pray I am doing the best I can for my 18 year old son as he is my world.

It's been a hella long time since a song made me tear up. I'm feeling blessed I've discovered Nova and Tom.

F**k Jay-z and Beyonce, Tom and Nova is in my opinion the true hip hop power couple This is fire

Wow. It's dusty as heck in here. This really hits home. I used to resent my dad for working 16-hour days and never being around. Until later in life, when I realized he was just doing this to keep food on our table. He worked hard and long and left us way too soon.

Yesterday, I lost ny dad to a year long battle with cancer. This song has meant so much to me this past year... Especially today. Thank you Nova. This song is beautiful. ♥️

"i know you have nothing left, but there's more to you than the wars you lose, you'll see"
