Growing up a lost boy and the protector of my lost sisters... we've all changed for the better... this video really hit home. You're beautiful for making this. You and Tom make me so proud to wave my HangOver Gang flag high! Nothing but mad love and respects to you both!
I was one of those lost boys, headed for prison or death. Then as the fates would have it an amazing woman walked into my world. She gave me purpose and a calling bigger than myself. We sit here, together, 30 years later listening to this video together. Still happy and completely in love. Thank you for your gifts, Nova. You are an inspiration.
Damn man, this hit me right in the feels. I'm 63 now. From 13 to 20 I was off the rails; drugs, drinking, fighting. When I went to a bar I expected to fight, wanted to fight - i needed the pain and release. After being arrested (again) I was heading to court and on that day I met the love of my life. I married her a year later, she saved me. Thank you Nova for this song, it reminds me of where I started and where I am now. You and Tom ROCK!
I was a lost girl until 37 when I had my miracle baby.. she’s 7 now and she saved my life. She will never be lost because she always has a home in mama.. and she knows it 💯 love ya Nova and all my fellow lost girls 🖤
If anyone can’t interpret, she’s singing about a park where the homeless and the junkies hang out…and all the ones who she lost or that fell through the cracks along the way. Powerful, powerful song full of mixed emotions of loss, despair, regret, hope and salvation. You kick ass Nova. ☮️❤️☮️🙏
I was one of those Lost Girls back in the early '90s. Started hitchhiking from a juvenile facility just outside of Pittsburgh and eventually ended up in San Francisco. Found a family of street kids. A few of us made it out to this side of life. Most did not. This song made me cry, Nova. Thank you for sharing, from all of us!❤
Me too, 1993. In Tasmania, Australia. Age 16, I skipped state, got a 26yo violent skitzohrenic bf, ( had 2 kids to him ), was on and off streets wid him in Sydney, then bk to Tasmania, at night gets to -3°, fkn cold af , them streets. I'm now 47, 7 years clean, holy wow tho, I only got out from all that, with the help from the Lord 🙏 he saved me. I've lost over 100 mates. There's only 9 of us left, aparantly, from over 300 at least. RIP to alla my lost mates ❤ love U guys
@@helenwoods1467being a lost girl in tassie is another world. It's cold and dark and the struggle is real af. Lost a few good ones down there from the NW Coast.
I am so glad you made out to the other side. 63 year old dude here. I had a rough spot that last from age 13 to 20. I got lucky, I met the love of my life at 19 and she helped me turn my life around. I am glad you are still with us!
I worked in the foster care system for 15 years. I hope you have some idea how much this song can impact the lives of teens in foster care who feel so alone. This message of being in touch with their emotions and this message of hope could save more “lost girls” than you’ll ever know. They need to hear no matter how bad it’s been or whatever mistakes they may have made in the environments they came up in - they can overcome it all. Beautiful message Nova.
Amen to this comment! I wish the radio would play this (without the big label bc labels are often bad) & let this song play for all of the lost girls & boys of today & yesterday. It could help inspire the healing process. It surely made my eyes cry...very touching. Very SAS. 😢💔
I have a nephew who was a lost boy and after several years he's finally clean and has his life back on track. We lost his mom, my sister, to substance abuse and not because she od'd, but because she was murdered by the people who sold her the stuff. That world destroys families and we need to do more to end it. Thank you for the beautiful song.
As a grandmother my first-born granddaughter was a lost girl on the streets for over two years. She reached out to me recently and is on the path to living a healthy lifestyle and making new memories. I never judged her, never abandoned her. I was her only safe place when her own mother kicked her to the curb. Your song brought tears to my eyes because my "Lost Girl" is back home safe and happy.
Just want to say the video is earth moving. I’m so sad that your voice has been stifled by mainstream, but I’m so happy you have taken the first step back into the world. I have 2 daughters who need a real role model in today’s messed up society. Please don’t stop. You and Tom are beautiful people and you both help make this world an easier place to live in . From a proud Father
From another father with the same feels, I hope my daughters grow up to be as awesome and wholesome as nova, and my son as brave as Tom. There comes a time when true heroism is couched in music, and you guys are it!
This song is gut wrenching. I just lost an “overdose girl 2 weeks ago”. I hope all you “lost girls” can find a happy peaceful place. Thanks Nova for this masterpiece 🥹🥺
As a drug counsellor if I hadn't been a 'lost boy' myself, I wouldn't be anywhere near as good at my job as I am. Let's try to help as many find their way out of the park as we can! Thanks for an awesome song, Nova! So glad you're finding your way back to performing because you're so f**king good at it! Love to you from the UK. xx
She cant get a hit song or an album anyone cares about. Crazy how she was completely fallen off before she started clinging to Tom’s coattails.. Just saying..
I was a lost girl about 25 years ago. It still sticks with you through life. It changes you and how you learn and grow. I was found after years of struggling, but now life is better than ever. Beautiful song, Nova!
I had a friend in school who was one of these Lost Girls. We always tried to be a safe place for her to go when it got so bad at home. She overcame it and came through to the other side. We never gave up on her. Thank you for this song Nova. You don't know me and I am sure it doesn't mean anything, but I am so proud of what you have overcome and achieved. Sharing a song this emotional and powerful and meaningful with the world is one more sign that you have overcome those times and seeing you and Tom together and what you have been able to bring to the world is so inspirational. Thank you!
I was one of the lost boys. 65 years old now and in the process of writing my life story for my daughter and son, and I am currently working on that particular chapter of my life, and here comes Nova with this rocking rendition of my life and so many others like me!
I am 50 something, I don’t ever want to write it down, I wish I lived the life my kids live right now. I am an embarrassment to myself, but this music makes it seem ok I survived and now I am good for all people
Lost girl here. But now I'm found. 40yrs old now. Been married, divorced, engaged, I had a son. Been lost up until a few years ago. The 'lost girl' period from my teenage years followed me well into my adult life. Always looking for a home I never had, attracting other lost and hurt souls, people without a real family and home (divorced parents and no one cared about us, we raised ourselves, we hung in the parks and parking spaces and abandoned places, we smoked pit together and spend the weekends outdoors and couch surfed with whomever wanted to lend us a sleeping place, we were 'smooth criminals ', weren't good guys, but didn't do real crime either, we had each other's back, the family we didn't have in our real family, we tried to raise each other, but ended up drinking, smoking pot and dating th3 wrong people and getting in trouble here and there, we bought each other food etc, lost in the world, found ourselves in each other, some of us turned out fine). I have an apparemment now. Rental one, but still. My blood family is messed up, but me and my mom made up after many many years. I have a beautiful flock of chickens now and a couple of quail couples I have a decent garden now. I created my home for me. It's just me though. Everyone else either went rogue, turned into real criminals, or became 'good people ' with everything figured out where a troubled teen in her mid thirties didn't fit in anymore ( I was a troubled lost teen girl up until 3 years ago). I messed up badly. But right now, am in a good place. I don't feel lost anymore.
I tried to be the mother I didn't have growing up. I failed in a lot of ways (i sheltered them too much), but all my babies graduated, have stable jobs, and are not on drugs. I count that as a win! Breaking the cycle is really hard.
@@pariswilliams548that they didn’t grow up with what you went through, and that you showed your love to them and gave them the nourishment they needed to be successful proves that you succeeded on every count. May not have been exactly how you pictured it or how they wanted it, but you did it! I’m proud of you. I hope my son and daughters get the same from me. I wasn’t city lost, i was hillbilly lost, and I’m doing my best to get them to college out of the backwoods knowing they’re loved. I think that’s success, and that’s what you did!
Nova, I’m a 54 year old woman that never listened/cared for rap. I’ve learned to give artists a chance, and I am so glad I did. You and Tom have something special. Do NOT let anyone take your sparkle! The big music industry smells funny and stifles true art.
Lol I'm 57 n share ur sentiment on rap. As I've gotten older n well, more seasoned but in a good way! I give more ppl a chance n listen instead of forming that overarching opinion lol.
Bad ass girl! Awesome song. As a 38 yr old woman from southern Louisiana it hit hard. I made it and I survived but I cannot forget those who didn't and there was many. I grew up and became successful, I'm a lost girl that married my lost boy. We now have a beautiful family and broke the cycle, but part of me will always be a lost girl with a little black heart and wild spirit. Thanks for this Nova and Congrats girl! ❤
From a momma who has no idea where her daughter is at this moment.... This song is so touching. So proud of you! Your voice is amazing!! Please don't stop singing, especially for the lost ones💜 Edit: thank you all! I pray we see her 1 day; her son is so amazing 🥰 be blessed you all.
From a woman who had tried to have a child for more than 10yrs now but failed, including adoption, hope you find your daughter. God be with you and your daughter wherever both of you are 🙏🙏🙏
As a recovering heroin/crack addict living in a truck with 3 other people. 2 of them OD'd and gone now, panhandling, stealing clothes from Goodwill to stay warm and tornados from Speedway in my pocket, God I felt this. The soul sucking that the cards we were dealt in life brought us. This song is one I'll definitely listen to again and again. Good job Nova ❤
Cool comment, I'm a 62 year old man and I spent 35 years as a heroin and crack addict, so I know your pain, I've done all those things to survive as well, but I came through it, prayers to everyone who has lived in "the park " 🇬🇧👍
Let me tell you I'm a 45-year-old woman who loves independent music labels of all kinds. It's gonna be fun watching you shine and be fearless again. Tom's videos have never been better by the way. You have talent girl, love this song. 🩷
Mad props to NOVA, who has a beautiful voice, with a broken past, and still wants SO badly to help those who are going through and have gone through the rough shit!!!!!!!
I was a lost girl for 13 years using opiates.. on the streets.. escorting etc but when I got pregnant I got sober & now I have my 5 year old daughter Nova (they have the same name) & I'm over 6 years clean !!
Keep it up Momma!!! Clean now 18 years and counting. My three sons make every day sober make sense. Pray through the teen years!! The 20’s are better!!
There's only so many of us Lost Girl's ❤ I hope they all moved to a better life ❤ THIS IS AN AMAZING SONG & BRINGS UP SO MUCH EMOTION, THANK YOU FOR HAVING AN UPLIFTING MESSAGE FOR US LOST GIRLS ❤
I'm a lost girl who moved to a better life. I never thought I'd have the life I have now. I had to work my a$$ off to get here. But here I am,and I'm effin proud af! Much love to all the #LostGirls 🖤🖤
For anyone reading this, you matter more than you know, don't ever give up. I haven't seen my daughter in 2 years now. The pain I feel is unlike anything I've ever been through. I'm trying to heal the wounds but the stitches ripped too. Holidays make it hard to move, idk how many times I can keep telling myself once the seasons are over I'll feel better, but I find myself breaking down. All I know now is you're not around, to show me anything kool, that you've found. Maybe we'll talk when you're older, but for now, I'm pulled over, praying to God sitting on the side of the shoulder, trying to get through all these left overs. 😢 Just know that you are loved.
Your words are beautiful heartfelt enough to be a song, too.. I have had a difficult relationship with my mom for most of my life. I feel bad that we can't seem to make out of it what either of us finds sufficient in our own ways...but I wish she understood how often I reflect on that, and wonder how she's doing and what will finally become of us. Maybe your someone is thinking of you wherever they are, too. I hope it gets better.
I was a lost boy, my children have no idea. I haven't had the heart to tell them. You made me feel brave enough to take a step closer to showing them, though we are lost we find our way back. Thank you for this song!❤❤
@toekneeb4277 Disagree. Former Group Home Manager. When my boys opened up, no matter what put them there, the relationships they had improved so much. I still talk to some ten years after they becaming an adult. It is just better to let it out.
Powerful, Nova. I'm old and this wasn't my experience, but after I left a dysfunctional home and started my adult life, everything blew apart there and my baby sister became a "lost girl." She has never recovered and it seems like now she's just waiting for this life to be over. You pierced my heart this morning and have given me insight that has changed my perspective. ❤
I’m in the same boat. I got out as an adult but my brother became a lost boy and fell into drugs. He’s serving time in prison now. I just pray he comes out and leaves his lost boy days behind 🥺
I come from a long line of the lost unfortunately. Some are gone now due to drugs and never had the chance to see the light. I'm lucky to still be alive.
I remember...15 with a 21 year-old boyfriend...my first opiate high at 16...the "ones we lost in the park"...can I crash here tonight... It's thirty years later, life is much better, but I still remember, and do all I can for today's lost girls. From one to another, so glad you made it out, Nova.
I'm 56 now but this has brought tears to my eyes. This was me at 15. 😢 then. 😊 now. Thank you Nova. What an amazing talent you are. Lots of love to you, you beautiful soul, from Australia ❤
Oh wow, I wasn't expecting that emotional rollercoaster. I grew up with drug addict parents, was put in foster care where I was separated from my siblings and molested so I ran away and stayed with friends for a few years. I've never heard a song that I could relate to so much. You are amazing! I'm glad that you're able to be an independent artist now!!!
She's been putting out music..very slowly...... probably bc she's been so busy creating Tom's fantastic videos....I KNOW she has a catalog of songs that probably could last a lifetime.....but the " industry" messed her over...and she probably didn't want them to get thier grubby, greedy hands on them. I don't blame her...her stuff is WAY too good for them.
My husband lost his mom at 12 years old. At 16, despite the fact that his step mom and father were well off, he was homeless. We built our life. A humble, but beautiful life. A small home that we bought, 2 special needs kids and 2 fur babies that we love. He had nightmares for years that he had drugs. Something he sold and used to survive. Enjoy your beautiiful life. You deserve it.
The road we travel isn’t always how we planned it, but the destination always remains the same. Life doesn’t have accidents, it only has lessons we must learn on the road to becoming the best version of ourselves. What a beautiful song Nova! This one came from the soul and I felt it. I hope this song helped you heal on your life’s journey. Much love and respect.
When I was getting dressed this morning I contemplated waterproof mascara I regretfully chose wrong lol this is a beautiful comment and so relatable ❤ thank you
This one hits different,got me in my feels Nova! I just came off of being homeless and addicted,I got 7 mons clean and have worked SO FKN HARD to get everything back and more. You're a real one we all know that! I named my 2yo after you. Her name is Nova Atlas ❤
Girl brought tears to my eyes…. Felt it in my soul….. don’t ever let ANYONE tell you anything other than how amazing you are !!!! Love your work n I’m sooooo glad your free to share ur talent with us now!!!!!
All my friends were lost kids and I thank my mother for giving All my lost friends a safe place to go and feel safe I may not have been a lost girl but I've seen it Thank You Nova for your beautiful voice and production talents
I’m crying my eyes out at this. So many of us have come so far and I’m so grateful to have made it to other other side. Definitely missing the ones we lost in the park. Keep kicking ass Nova, you’re unbelievably talented!
Nova, you gotta know that we got your back, girl. This video is STELLAR. Your voice, your music, your talent.. none of that should ever be hid, you're inspiration to many.
WE NEED YOU!! There is no one like you! 🤍🌊 Keep riding this wave please! I love this new song so much.🫂🤍 Keep shinning and sharing the gifts you’ve been given. Keep putting out music. 🎖🤍
As a fellow lost girl who needed a parent I saw to it my own kids never had to feel what I felt. Also, as a mother I will say to you, I'm so proud of you, of Tom, and of the people you raised yourselves to be. You are beautiful, talented, and amazing human beings. You are enough and always were. ❤️
Thank you from ALL THE LOST GIRLS ,NOVA WE NEEDED THIS SONG, I can't stop crying while playing on repeat this is an anthem for all us lost girls young and old . We love you so much Nova
Nova. That song is so moving for me. The line "nowhere to sleep so we have to find drugs" touched me so deeply. I've been exactly there before. It was such a difficult part of my life that I've overcome now. Thank you for reminding me. I needed to feel that again. Great song woman. Please keep it up!
Crying. I had a hard life that rates "really high on the trauma scale" according to my therapist. But Ive aimed to be a mother that shields my babies from all of that. You're line "homesick for a place we've never known" really hit deep. If I could afford a bigger home I would foster and adopt. And I would love on those kids like crazy! So many need us!! Ive been praying for years for God to make a way. All in his timing. Thanks again for this song!! God bless you and Tom!!
I'll join you in that prayer, Jessica! My heart, too, is for the orphans of the world and those who the world has torn to pieces. Innocence should not be stolen and brutalized by those who should know better. I wish I could also have a place to bring them all and just love on them. For God’s glory, I hope He answers your prayer! I'm currently reading 'Release the Power of Prayer,' that is about the journal entries of George Miller who became a foster father to hundreds of orphans in Bristol, England during the 1800s. He only ever relied on God alone to provide everything he needed to care for all the children after God changed the course of his life from desiring to be a missionary to the jaws to taking in and caring for the children on the streets of England. It's an amazing story of a man who purposed his life to glorify God and depend only on prayer for God to provide everything. There was not a day when God was not faithful. You should get a copy and read it. It might help you on how to direct your prayer time for that purpose. Blessings!!
I'm super glad you are finally out of that record deal and the clutches of pure greed and evil. Now we get to enjoy every bit of your beautiful music and all your other talents and you get to keep the rewards 😉. You have so much soul and I absolutely love this song. Small request for a Christmas ballad?? 🎄 🙏🏻🇬🇧
Nova!!!!! THANK YOU, for speaking up, giving a voice to our girls,(and boys) STILL lost in the Park. And yes, folks, it happens just like that! More than you know. One time, innocent fun with friends, a dare, a little experiment, a weekend when parents away, next thing you know, in places you'd never go, sharing a smoke with strangers snif a little blow, too late to go home, grab a backpack and break night, bumb a ride, ditch your friend, it's too scary for how many these weekends never end. Sluff one class,couple hits from the glass, go from pipe dreams to tin foil maps lead you down the beaten path, thay leads you to the park.
IF you don't get billboard, time will prove this song legendary! The people who are resonating needed this song. You are Awakening so many to their hearts again. History will remember you well, Nova. ❤❤❤❤❤
For sure.A homerun for sure. Being lost doesnt have an age. Many out here hurting and lost. This song hits millions. 👍lets get 1million views on you tube before toms new release. 21,487 to go.
Beautiful ❤️ Brought me back to being a 14-16 year old, living on the streets. I've healed from those days, long ago, but my heart still hurts for those going through the same. What a beautiful song that will give those suffering the same, a place to go, in their hearts, where they will not feel alone. This song will help so many! Sweet Nova, you are one of a kind. ❤
This song just took me back 15 years! ❤ being young with no adults to care where I was or if I ended up okay. Being on your own and having to make a family with the friends who were LOST just like we were. We felt alone, but at least we were alone together. Growing up is hard...this song was like an ode to my past...not everyone makes it out okay after being lost... Great song Nova!
I'm here from Superman. You're a genius. This music resonates with how I've felt lately. We were too young to have time to choose the things we chose to do.
I cried and played this on repeat bc it hit me in my lost girl gut that had so many walls,bricks walls w barb wire fencing around my heart since thoses days. Im so proud of you Nova and ty for this song!!
Man, Nova, this is incredible. I can feel how much of yourself you put into this. What an amazing song. It was worth the wait. I hope the next one comes soon. Way to much talent to not share it with the world
@novarockafeller I came to your channel through Toms just out of curiosity and firstly I would like to say that it is criminal that you haven't been properly recognized for the amazing work you do on Tom's videos. The sets, videography and production is just outstanding. I'm surprised Hollywood hasn't tried stealing you from Tom lol secondly, this is the first song I have heard from you and I have been completely blown away by it. As someone who went through the system in Northern Ireland from birth I can totally relate to what this song is about. I lost friends due to drink and drugs, and being from N/Ireland I also lost some from bullets and bombs. As a recovering addict who's been clean for nearly 20 years I can really feel your pain in this song. The lyrics hit home and your voice is stunning. I have just bought it and will probably be playing on repeat for the next few weeks. I can only imagine how much you still struggle with the past but I am so happy to hear you are in a much better place with Tom. Keep up the great work you are doing. Good luck to you both. Regards from the UK 🙂
This song hits so deep. I have listened to it numerous times. Watched a few reactions. Unfortunately, they don't really get it. If you know, you know. Baby girl got so much talent and is a genius! I am working on trying to heal those wounds, and failing. May God give you peace Nova. I feel the heartbreak and pain. Even good memories are painful sometimes, and i feel you! You are so loved!
@ThaiChinaMalay trying to get through the day with the least pain possible. Having to do things you know is wrong, but have to survive somehow. Loneliness, constant fear, self-loathing, feeling worthless, try to be strong and act tough on the outside, but screaming for help on the inside. Attaching to people who are there in the moment. Ugly cried for 2 days because this song brought back memories I have tried to bury. Past is the past and needs to stay there... for mental health reasons. Thank you for listening, Thia. Hope this helps you understand.
@@pariswilliams548 Thanks for your reply, sometimes a good cry is so beneficial, hope it helped you. Please consider that many people relate to your experience. Enoy today and smile.
Tom & Nova setting the stage, Independent artists who are not owned or controlled by the labels are literally better than the top artists in the charts, do not sell your souls for fame and fortune. Peace
For real, Em was so motivated at first in his career until he realized he had no control of his life after signing the contract and his music slowly declined and now when you listen to his music he lost the energy in his voice and he uses filler words at times more than he ever did, he sounds burned out or exhausted from being in his postion with all those brand deals and companies that will oust him if he supports independent artists or raps about real life stuff. It's good that Nova got out while she could and she's doing amazing right now, her and tom are awesome.
The stage was set by the beginning of fm radio. FM started out as independent radio for the most part almost 10 years but programming and commercial radio took over sadly. Tom just brought back the best kinda uncensored music via the internet God bless him
@@JDogVids Em' Can do whatever he wants.....tho..... , He LITERALLY OWNS.... SHADY RECORDS...... He can rap about whatever he wants too, And well he HAS been rapping let's see.... for uhhh how old is he now like 50 or 51.....?? So 36 or 37 years now....... I mean .............. PHEW.......... I mean OF COURSE YOU'RE GOING TO be burned out. Lol........ He's written so much crap now that it aint even funny, Of course I miss the old em' , not that I don't like the new , I may not like all of his new, Nor all of his old, But lyrically he's still the best of all time, but that's just my opinion bro. IDK WHY EVERYONE is suddenly talking about Marshall ALL OF A SUDDEN on Tom and Novas pages this is weird.....
Tammie why you lost at 70? That's scary. I am 53, my parents are 89 and fading and my husband tells me often he will die soon. He just thinks so. he is 66. That is very scary to think about being lost at 70. Thank Beautiful Jesus I have him God and the Holy Spirit. I hope you were just being funny. Hi from Vermont
Yes if your lost at 70 then I hope you will maybe trying to not just believe in Jesus but YOU HAVE YO ACTUALLY BUILD A REAKATIONSHIP WITH HIM!!!(IF YOUR TALKING AND PRAYING TO HIM AND HES NOT THERE THEN YOU NEED TO WORK ON BUILDING A RELATIONSHIP WITH HIM, HE WILL GIVE YOU SIGNS AND YOU WILL KNOW WHEN YOU HAVE STARTED YO BUILD AN ACTUAL RELATION SHIP WITH HIM!!!❤❤❤ Hi I'm Tonya!!! I hope you will try this if you have any questions I'm about to start my own RUclips channel on this while topic I think, IV been wanting to start a channel but do it do something that helps people to for the fame and glory!!!
Omg I have this song on heavy rotation on Spotify. I’m a genX girl grew up In LA county/North Hollywood area and every time this song comes on tears burst out every fucking time. May be that line “growing up was way too hard” u got that right sister. Grateful for u ❤
Makes me so mad that Mainstream kept this from us! The way I related to this song has left me a lil speechless and mad I didn’t have something like this to relate to earlier! But damn glad we have it now! You’re amazing Nova! Absolutely cannot wait to hear more! Thank you for sharing this with us and making yourself vulnerable again. YOU ROCK THIS SONG ROCKS AND WE LOVE YOU 💖💖💖
I have to say that this song hits pretty hard. Lived this life back in the eighties. I was homeless and in the system because my family sucked. Thanks for the song Nova. Love your music.
I cried listening to this song! I was a lost boy who made it out of the park. I'm thinking about those that didn't make it out. Deep and emotional track.. congrats on a banger!
I’ve just discovered you & your art! You are amazing with your voice, personality with Tom, & overall you rock. I don’t follow many song artists, but love you & Tom. I love what you 2 represent. Thank you 🙏
I have seen Nova wearing Slikpnot and other metal/rock bands tshirts. This explains her wide range of creativity such as playing the guitar! Lyrics super relevant and touching.This is AMAZING!! 🔥🔥🔥
Thank you Nova for creating content that's also impactful and inspiring. This song really hits a lost guy.. You are a great person that's appreciated alot
Love ❤️ seeing an extremely talented, skilled and real human sharing their art. Continue to be the light in this dark world, Earth 🌎 needs more like this. Mad love ❤️ & respect ✊ Nova
Nova you are such a breath of fresh air! I’m 53 and lived this song, I’m also a mortician and I see how it could have ended for me. Thank you for putting my life to music.
I would never say I understand this song..it's clearly impactful to her and so many ..very cool..but I can tell ya'll I love the sound...and Nova slays!
Grew up in the system on the streets thank you for this! #lostgirl here this is amazing! This was my life I don’t know how I made it out alive! 7 years clean coming up in January!! I’m not a lost girl home with my kid and my kitties! I have my bubble🖤 stay safe out there
Maybe it's that I'm old and a mom but listening to this is heartbreaking. It's also musically brilliant and showcases Nova's ridiculous talent. Definitely worth relistening to over and over again.
I’m 60 years old. I’ve turned into a huge fan of yours and Tom’s music. This is a beautiful song and I know that it’s going to help some people out there. That’s all we can ever really hope to do ……help others to help themselves
"Barely 15, but we had to grow up Arms full of cuts and nobody to trust How can you have dreams when you're us?" Ofh, felt that. If there's any lost girls watching this as a teen: From a former lost girl wirh legs full of scars, recovered from an ED and mentally stable even with diagnosis list a full sheet of paper long, it gets better. Im a healthy, stable, self loving woman now and my dreams came true. It took time and alot of work but I wanted it desperately so I got it. You can too baby, I promise. Don't let anyone tell you that you cant because of your past, or because of your mental illnesses, where you come from, or anything else. The world is your and you deserve happiness. Im happily married to my soul mate for 10 years. 5 kids. 60 acers, home steading and financially stable. Those were my dreams and I got em. You can get whatever your dreams are too. Just look at Nova
Nova.... This honestly touched my heart. It brought tears to my eyes in flood of memories that I pushed into the darkness of the corners of my mind. Your music rings with so much truth that shouldn't be but is. Keep going girl!! We want to hear more!! Hugs
I felt this so much. For anyone feeling lost, keep going and be your own light in the dark. There is a way through even when all you can see is the step right in front of you. Love this Nova! Thank you for not only being you, but for sharing it with the world unapologetically and with love!

Your song is absolutely beautiful, and it makes me so emotional!!! Can't wait for your next one. ❤
downloaded it this morning at like 3am! Couldn't wait for the visuals. Great job as usual.
Love this song
❤
I was a lost boy ... run a way street derelict.. A tribute to the lost ones... May all the lost girls find thier home 🔥... Good job Nova ! Great song!
Growing up a lost boy and the protector of my lost sisters... we've all changed for the better... this video really hit home. You're beautiful for making this. You and Tom make me so proud to wave my HangOver Gang flag high! Nothing but mad love and respects to you both!
I was one of those lost boys, headed for prison or death. Then as the fates would have it an amazing woman walked into my world. She gave me purpose and a calling bigger than myself. We sit here, together, 30 years later listening to this video together. Still happy and completely in love. Thank you for your gifts, Nova. You are an inspiration.
beautiful
This resonated with me. Two abused kids found peace with each other and 33 years later it's better than I could have though
I love this
Damn man, this hit me right in the feels. I'm 63 now. From 13 to 20 I was off the rails; drugs, drinking, fighting. When I went to a bar I expected to fight, wanted to fight - i needed the pain and release. After being arrested (again) I was heading to court and on that day I met the love of my life. I married her a year later, she saved me. Thank you Nova for this song, it reminds me of where I started and where I am now. You and Tom ROCK!
You know you have found a good artist when they can draw out emotion like a flood.
Former lost girl now working with teens in the system for a decade, can’t express enough how much this is appreciated. Welcome back, Nova ❤
Nice! ❤
PREACH!!❤❤❤
I was one of those lost boys now doing the same helping boys in the system, what a wild ride...
Keep up the good work. Reflections.
That’s awesome 🙏🏼🙏🏼🩷🩷
I was a lost girl until 37 when I had my miracle baby.. she’s 7 now and she saved my life. She will never be lost because she always has a home in mama.. and she knows it 💯 love ya Nova and all my fellow lost girls 🖤
This hits home…I’m 55 years old and this describes me and my friends…Even back in the 80’s, there were LOST GIRLS! 🫶🏻💯
I'm one of them 😢
If anyone can’t interpret, she’s singing about a park where the homeless and the junkies hang out…and all the ones who she lost or that fell through the cracks along the way. Powerful, powerful song full of mixed emotions of loss, despair, regret, hope and salvation. You kick ass Nova.
☮️❤️☮️🙏
Thank you! Yeah only thing missing is lyrics seeing the words hit deep for me
Between this song and Tom's new one, my tissue box is emptying out😢. You know how to hit the gut.
I was one of those Lost Girls back in the early '90s. Started hitchhiking from a juvenile facility just outside of Pittsburgh and eventually ended up in San Francisco. Found a family of street kids. A few of us made it out to this side of life. Most did not. This song made me cry, Nova. Thank you for sharing, from all of us!❤
Me too, 1993. In Tasmania, Australia. Age 16, I skipped state, got a 26yo violent skitzohrenic bf, ( had 2 kids to him ), was on and off streets wid him in Sydney, then bk to Tasmania, at night gets to -3°, fkn cold af , them streets. I'm now 47, 7 years clean, holy wow tho, I only got out from all that, with the help from the Lord 🙏 he saved me. I've lost over 100 mates. There's only 9 of us left, aparantly, from over 300 at least. RIP to alla my lost mates ❤ love U guys
I'm right outside Pittsburgh too. 34 now started running around 14 never made it too far but I own my home now with a husband and 6 year old daughter.
@@helenwoods1467being a lost girl in tassie is another world. It's cold and dark and the struggle is real af. Lost a few good ones down there from the NW Coast.
I am so glad you made out to the other side. 63 year old dude here. I had a rough spot that last from age 13 to 20. I got lucky, I met the love of my life at 19 and she helped me turn my life around. I am glad you are still with us!
My condolences for your lost friends. Truly and from the bottom of my heart. I miss mine, too.
I worked in the foster care system for 15 years. I hope you have some idea how much this song can impact the lives of teens in foster care who feel so alone. This message of being in touch with their emotions and this message of hope could save more “lost girls” than you’ll ever know. They need to hear no matter how bad it’s been or whatever mistakes they may have made in the environments they came up in - they can overcome it all. Beautiful message Nova.
Amen to this comment! I wish the radio would play this (without the big label bc labels are often bad) & let this song play for all of the lost girls & boys of today & yesterday. It could help inspire the healing process. It surely made my eyes cry...very touching. Very SAS. 😢💔
I have a nephew who was a lost boy and after several years he's finally clean and has his life back on track. We lost his mom, my sister, to substance abuse and not because she od'd, but because she was murdered by the people who sold her the stuff. That world destroys families and we need to do more to end it. Thank you for the beautiful song.
As a grandmother my first-born granddaughter was a lost girl on the streets for over two years.
She reached out to me recently and is on the path to living a healthy lifestyle and making new memories.
I never judged her, never abandoned her. I was her only safe place when her own mother kicked her to the curb. Your song brought tears to my eyes because my "Lost Girl" is back home safe and happy.
I'm so glad you were a safe harbor for your granddaughter God bless you both!
❤❤❤❤🙏🏻🙏🏻🙏🏻🙏🏻✨️✨️✨️
That is so cool. I swear I wish we had more people like you!
Thank you God
Praise God.
Just want to say the video is earth moving. I’m so sad that your voice has been stifled by mainstream, but I’m so happy you have taken the first step back into the world. I have 2 daughters who need a real role model in today’s messed up society. Please don’t stop. You and Tom are beautiful people and you both help make this world an easier place to live in . From a proud Father
❤❤❤❤
Wish I could like that statement 100 times
I sincerely felt this comment! I feel the exact same way 👏👏👏👏
From another father with the same feels, I hope my daughters grow up to be as awesome and wholesome as nova, and my son as brave as Tom. There comes a time when true heroism is couched in music, and you guys are it!
All her n tom do is cry bout mainstream record labels it's getting old no one cares n they are not the only independent artist out here
This song is gut wrenching. I just lost an “overdose girl 2 weeks ago”. I hope all you “lost girls” can find a happy peaceful place. Thanks Nova for this masterpiece 🥹🥺
Sorry, I've been there twice. Best friend and godchild
I’m so sorry for your loss. 😢
As a drug counsellor if I hadn't been a 'lost boy' myself, I wouldn't be anywhere near as good at my job as I am.
Let's try to help as many find their way out of the park as we can!
Thanks for an awesome song, Nova! So glad you're finding your way back to performing because you're so f**king good at it!
Love to you from the UK. xx
Love from Wales uk
Can rap, can sing, can produce and edit is there anything you can’t do Nova? You and Tom are such a power couple!
You make the bacon....and fry it up in the pan
She cant get a hit song or an album anyone cares about. Crazy how she was completely fallen off before she started clinging to Tom’s coattails.. Just saying..
I was a lost girl about 25 years ago. It still sticks with you through life. It changes you and how you learn and grow. I was found after years of struggling, but now life is better than ever. Beautiful song, Nova!
Oh, my... thanks for the math on how old I am. 😂 30 years ago and that lost girl still haunts the halls of my beautiful life.
Congratulations, enjoy what you have now it's so much better than looking back.
I had a friend in school who was one of these Lost Girls. We always tried to be a safe place for her to go when it got so bad at home. She overcame it and came through to the other side. We never gave up on her. Thank you for this song Nova. You don't know me and I am sure it doesn't mean anything, but I am so proud of what you have overcome and achieved. Sharing a song this emotional and powerful and meaningful with the world is one more sign that you have overcome those times and seeing you and Tom together and what you have been able to bring to the world is so inspirational. Thank you!
I was one of the lost boys. 65 years old now and in the process of writing my life story for my daughter and son, and I am currently working on that particular chapter of my life, and here comes Nova with this rocking rendition of my life and so many others like me!
facts.. im still a lost boy.. but trying to find my way.. that is what counts
I am 50 something, I don’t ever want to write it down, I wish I lived the life my kids live right now. I am an embarrassment to myself, but this music makes it seem ok I survived and now I am good for all people
@@home17able🥰 You have kids? You did well my friend. Never to late to make up for lost time. Well, unless you wait until you are dead that is 😬
@home17able
Don't be embarrassed.
Nothing to be embarrassed about
This makes you, you
And you are beautiful and special.
Lost girl here.
But now I'm found.
40yrs old now.
Been married, divorced, engaged, I had a son.
Been lost up until a few years ago.
The 'lost girl' period from my teenage years followed me well into my adult life.
Always looking for a home I never had, attracting other lost and hurt souls, people without a real family and home (divorced parents and no one cared about us, we raised ourselves, we hung in the parks and parking spaces and abandoned places, we smoked pit together and spend the weekends outdoors and couch surfed with whomever wanted to lend us a sleeping place, we were 'smooth criminals ', weren't good guys, but didn't do real crime either, we had each other's back, the family we didn't have in our real family, we tried to raise each other, but ended up drinking, smoking pot and dating th3 wrong people and getting in trouble here and there, we bought each other food etc, lost in the world, found ourselves in each other, some of us turned out fine).
I have an apparemment now.
Rental one, but still.
My blood family is messed up, but me and my mom made up after many many years.
I have a beautiful flock of chickens now and a couple of quail couples
I have a decent garden now.
I created my home for me.
It's just me though.
Everyone else either went rogue, turned into real criminals, or became 'good people ' with everything figured out where a troubled teen in her mid thirties didn't fit in anymore ( I was a troubled lost teen girl up until 3 years ago).
I messed up badly.
But right now, am in a good place.
I don't feel lost anymore.
Some of us lost girls became the mothers we wish we'd had...
Amazing song Nova
Good job
🖤💜🖤
💜
I tried to be the mother I didn't have growing up. I failed in a lot of ways (i sheltered them too much), but all my babies graduated, have stable jobs, and are not on drugs. I count that as a win! Breaking the cycle is really hard.
Yes we did! Thank you LORD!
@@pariswilliams548 Good job mom! Nothing harder but we did it!
@@pariswilliams548that they didn’t grow up with what you went through, and that you showed your love to them and gave them the nourishment they needed to be successful proves that you succeeded on every count. May not have been exactly how you pictured it or how they wanted it, but you did it! I’m proud of you. I hope my son and daughters get the same from me. I wasn’t city lost, i was hillbilly lost, and I’m doing my best to get them to college out of the backwoods knowing they’re loved. I think that’s success, and that’s what you did!
Nova, I’m a 54 year old woman that never listened/cared for rap. I’ve learned to give artists a chance, and I am so glad I did. You and Tom have something special. Do NOT let anyone take your sparkle! The big music industry smells funny and stifles true art.
Lol I'm 57 n share ur sentiment on rap. As I've gotten older n well, more seasoned but in a good way! I give more ppl a chance n listen instead of forming that overarching opinion lol.
❤
Lol 57 here too ❤ same
I’m 66 years old and yeah, grandmas like rap and hip hop too 😍🎶🔥
❤️
Bad ass girl! Awesome song. As a 38 yr old woman from southern Louisiana it hit hard. I made it and I survived but I cannot forget those who didn't and there was many. I grew up and became successful, I'm a lost girl that married my lost boy. We now have a beautiful family and broke the cycle, but part of me will always be a lost girl with a little black heart and wild spirit. Thanks for this Nova and Congrats girl! ❤
From a momma who has no idea where her daughter is at this moment.... This song is so touching. So proud of you! Your voice is amazing!! Please don't stop singing, especially for the lost ones💜
Edit: thank you all! I pray we see her 1 day; her son is so amazing 🥰 be blessed you all.
From a woman who had tried to have a child for more than 10yrs now but failed, including adoption, hope you find your daughter. God be with you and your daughter wherever both of you are 🙏🙏🙏
I've been there. My daughter is 51 she is is home off drugs and staying that way. Thank God.
Heaps of love to you and your daughter ❤
I hope one day you will hear her voice and see her again. ❤❤❤Hallelujah!!
🙏🙏🙏
As a recovering heroin/crack addict living in a truck with 3 other people. 2 of them OD'd and gone now, panhandling, stealing clothes from Goodwill to stay warm and tornados from Speedway in my pocket, God I felt this. The soul sucking that the cards we were dealt in life brought us. This song is one I'll definitely listen to again and again. Good job Nova ❤
Cool comment, I'm a 62 year old man and I spent 35 years as a heroin and crack addict, so I know your pain, I've done all those things to survive as well, but I came through it, prayers to everyone who has lived in "the park "
🇬🇧👍
I am so glad to know that you made it out alive. God bless❤
Thank you, Nova. I'm a lost girl who grew up way too fast and hard. This song is fire! Rock on, Nova! You killed it, girl!
a lost boy here,crying for all the lost girls here and forever remembered.
thank you for your music,heart and soul.
Let me tell you I'm a 45-year-old woman who loves independent music labels of all kinds. It's gonna be fun watching you shine and be fearless again. Tom's videos have never been better by the way. You have talent girl, love this song. 🩷
To all the lost girls and lost boys, I pray you find your voice, strength and God to make it to the other side ❤
Mad props to NOVA, who has a beautiful voice, with a broken past, and still wants SO badly to help those who are going through and have gone through the rough shit!!!!!!!
I was a lost girl for 13 years using opiates.. on the streets.. escorting etc but when I got pregnant I got sober & now I have my 5 year old daughter Nova (they have the same name) & I'm over 6 years clean !!
Good job! February was 6 years for me too. 💪💪💪💪
Congratulations 2 years clean In April
Good job, keep going!
I hope it works out for you.
Keep it up Momma!!! Clean now 18 years and counting. My three sons make every day sober make sense. Pray through the teen years!! The 20’s are better!!
There's only so many of us Lost Girl's ❤ I hope they all moved to a better life ❤ THIS IS AN AMAZING SONG & BRINGS UP SO MUCH EMOTION, THANK YOU FOR HAVING AN UPLIFTING MESSAGE FOR US LOST GIRLS ❤
In the world's a big place there might be more last girls than you think take it from the Last Boy
It seems like there's not many of us because it has been so hard and the average person cannot understand
I'm one of the lost girls and I think that this is a PHENOMENAL VIDEO/SONG! #LOSTGIRLS 💜🧡💜🧡💜🧡💜🧡💜
I'm a lost girl who moved to a better life. I never thought I'd have the life I have now. I had to work my a$$ off to get here. But here I am,and I'm effin proud af! Much love to all the #LostGirls 🖤🖤
Nova!! What a wonderful song!! It was written beautifully!! Much love ❤️
62 year old LOST GIRL!!! SO HAPPY to hear one from you!!! So much talent!! Love you Nova💜
😎🤘💪
i was your 62nd like.
I’m just a 66 year old woman enjoying this powerful song. 😢
Nova you are a gift from God keep helping people who are hurting. I love you
For anyone reading this, you matter more than you know, don't ever give up. I haven't seen my daughter in 2 years now. The pain I feel is unlike anything I've ever been through. I'm trying to heal the wounds but the stitches ripped too. Holidays make it hard to move, idk how many times I can keep telling myself once the seasons are over I'll feel better, but I find myself breaking down. All I know now is you're not around, to show me anything kool, that you've found. Maybe we'll talk when you're older, but for now, I'm pulled over, praying to God sitting on the side of the shoulder, trying to get through all these left overs. 😢 Just know that you are loved.
Prayers for you and your daughter.
Prayers for you
🙏🙏Praying for you ❤
Your words are beautiful heartfelt enough to be a song, too..
I have had a difficult relationship with my mom for most of my life. I feel bad that we can't seem to make out of it what either of us finds sufficient in our own ways...but I wish she understood how often I reflect on that, and wonder how she's doing and what will finally become of us. Maybe your someone is thinking of you wherever they are, too. I hope it gets better.
🙏🙏🙏💔
I was a lost boy, my children have no idea. I haven't had the heart to tell them. You made me feel brave enough to take a step closer to showing them, though we are lost we find our way back. Thank you for this song!❤❤
Something’s are better left unsaid. If it doesn’t benefit them , there is no reason to say anything. That’s just me. All the best
@toekneeb4277 Disagree. Former Group Home Manager. When my boys opened up, no matter what put them there, the relationships they had improved so much. I still talk to some ten years after they becaming an adult.
It is just better to let it out.
PLEASE DONT
PLEASE LET THEM LOVE YOU FOR WHO YOU ARE NOW PLEASE PRETTY PLEASE
May our children never truly know what we had to go through to become the people they see today.
Reality is they will find out something from someone else. It is better if you are the one, rather than half truths and images. Been there done that.
Thank you for being a voice for us lost girls and paying homage to those who didn't make it. 💜💔🖤
Love you sis ❤️
For realsies! Much love sis!
yup. it is a priviledge to grow old when you come from that.
Powerful, Nova. I'm old and this wasn't my experience, but after I left a dysfunctional home and started my adult life, everything blew apart there and my baby sister became a "lost girl." She has never recovered and it seems like now she's just waiting for this life to be over. You pierced my heart this morning and have given me insight that has changed my perspective. ❤
I’m in the same boat. I got out as an adult but my brother became a lost boy and fell into drugs. He’s serving time in prison now. I just pray he comes out and leaves his lost boy days behind 🥺
Awwww!😢
I come from a long line of the lost unfortunately. Some are gone now due to drugs and never had the chance to see the light. I'm lucky to still be alive.
Well done sweetheart. As a lost girl from another generation I salute you for surviving. Then rising up to thrive! 💕🕊️ God bless you and Tom.
I remember...15 with a 21 year-old boyfriend...my first opiate high at 16...the "ones we lost in the park"...can I crash here tonight...
It's thirty years later, life is much better, but I still remember, and do all I can for today's lost girls. From one to another, so glad you made it out, Nova.
I'm 56 now but this has brought tears to my eyes. This was me at 15. 😢 then. 😊 now. Thank you Nova. What an amazing talent you are. Lots of love to you, you beautiful soul, from Australia ❤
Oh wow, I wasn't expecting that emotional rollercoaster. I grew up with drug addict parents, was put in foster care where I was separated from my siblings and molested so I ran away and stayed with friends for a few years. I've never heard a song that I could relate to so much. You are amazing! I'm glad that you're able to be an independent artist now!!!
I am so sorry what you went through ❤️
She's been putting out music..very slowly...... probably bc she's been so busy creating Tom's fantastic videos....I KNOW she has a catalog of songs that probably could last a lifetime.....but the " industry" messed her over...and she probably didn't want them to get thier grubby, greedy hands on them. I don't blame her...her stuff is WAY too good for them.
@@suzieqou8129 me too...🧡💛❤💛🧡
My husband lost his mom at 12 years old. At 16, despite the fact that his step mom and father were well off, he was homeless. We built our life. A humble, but beautiful life. A small home that we bought, 2 special needs kids and 2 fur babies that we love. He had nightmares for years that he had drugs. Something he sold and used to survive. Enjoy your beautiiful life. You deserve it.
Real music. Real people. Real stories. Thank you Nova.❤❤❤
The road we travel isn’t always how we planned it, but the destination always remains the same. Life doesn’t have accidents, it only has lessons we must learn on the road to becoming the best version of ourselves.
What a beautiful song Nova! This one came from the soul and I felt it. I hope this song helped you heal on your life’s journey. Much love and respect.
When I was getting dressed this morning I contemplated waterproof mascara I regretfully chose wrong lol this is a beautiful comment and so relatable ❤ thank you
Roads go ever on and on, down from the door where it began.
What a beautiful comment
Amen!!❤❤❤
You ever hear a song for the first time and feel like you grew up with it? The song has a familiarity. Amazing job Nova!
This one hits different,got me in my feels Nova! I just came off of being homeless and addicted,I got 7 mons clean and have worked SO FKN HARD to get everything back and more. You're a real one we all know that! I named my 2yo after you. Her name is Nova Atlas ❤
Beautiful Nova! I am 65 and this song hit my heart! God bless all of you! ❤❤❤
Girl brought tears to my eyes…. Felt it in my soul….. don’t ever let ANYONE tell you anything other than how amazing you are !!!! Love your work n I’m sooooo glad your free to share ur talent with us now!!!!!
All my friends were lost kids and I thank my mother for giving All my lost friends a safe place to go and feel safe I may not have been a lost girl but I've seen it Thank You Nova for your beautiful voice and production talents
Here's to you and your mother 🥰💐🙏 legends!
Kids like you and people like your mom saved my life 🙏 please thank her for me. She has no idea the lengths that her kindness extends.
I’m crying my eyes out at this. So many of us have come so far and I’m so grateful to have made it to other other side. Definitely missing the ones we lost in the park. Keep kicking ass Nova, you’re unbelievably talented!
Beautiful post...I am so glad you survived as did I!
Nova, you gotta know that we got your back, girl. This video is STELLAR. Your voice, your music, your talent.. none of that should ever be hid, you're inspiration to many.
WE NEED YOU!! There is no one like you! 🤍🌊 Keep riding this wave please! I love this new song so much.🫂🤍 Keep shinning and sharing the gifts you’ve been given. Keep putting out music. 🎖🤍
As a fellow lost girl who needed a parent I saw to it my own kids never had to feel what I felt. Also, as a mother I will say to you, I'm so proud of you, of Tom, and of the people you raised yourselves to be. You are beautiful, talented, and amazing human beings. You are enough and always were. ❤️
Awwww!!❤ Thank you!! That means alot! That someone cares!!! You're a good soul!!:)
I have a 13 yr old granddaughter who is one of the lost girls. 💔 Thank you for this beautiful tribute to all the Lost Girls 💜🖤
Thank you from ALL THE LOST GIRLS ,NOVA WE NEEDED THIS SONG, I can't stop crying while playing on repeat this is an anthem for all us lost girls young and old . We love you so much Nova
Nova. That song is so moving for me. The line "nowhere to sleep so we have to find drugs" touched me so deeply. I've been exactly there before. It was such a difficult part of my life that I've overcome now. Thank you for reminding me. I needed to feel that again. Great song woman. Please keep it up!
Crying. I had a hard life that rates "really high on the trauma scale" according to my therapist. But Ive aimed to be a mother that shields my babies from all of that. You're line "homesick for a place we've never known" really hit deep. If I could afford a bigger home I would foster and adopt. And I would love on those kids like crazy! So many need us!! Ive been praying for years for God to make a way. All in his timing. Thanks again for this song!! God bless you and Tom!!
I'll join you in that prayer, Jessica! My heart, too, is for the orphans of the world and those who the world has torn to pieces. Innocence should not be stolen and brutalized by those who should know better. I wish I could also have a place to bring them all and just love on them. For God’s glory, I hope He answers your prayer! I'm currently reading 'Release the Power of Prayer,' that is about the journal entries of George Miller who became a foster father to hundreds of orphans in Bristol, England during the 1800s. He only ever relied on God alone to provide everything he needed to care for all the children after God changed the course of his life from desiring to be a missionary to the jaws to taking in and caring for the children on the streets of England. It's an amazing story of a man who purposed his life to glorify God and depend only on prayer for God to provide everything. There was not a day when God was not faithful. You should get a copy and read it. It might help you on how to direct your prayer time for that purpose. Blessings!!
lol
Your good 👍 just know your always gonna go forward. Yes bad days happen but you got this.
I'm super glad you are finally out of that record deal and the clutches of pure greed and evil. Now we get to enjoy every bit of your beautiful music and all your other talents and you get to keep the rewards 😉. You have so much soul and I absolutely love this song.
Small request for a Christmas ballad?? 🎄 🙏🏻🇬🇧
She releases music all the time. Lol. A whole album last year. How long do you think these contracts last? Fool. Call yourself a fan.
Well done Nova! The ones we lost along the way appreciate you giving them a voice. My brother Mark 12/21/92 RIP
Love this girl as damaged as her beautiful frenetic brain appears to be. Thank you Nova and Tom! Love you both! 🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥
Nova!!!!! THANK YOU, for speaking up, giving a voice to our girls,(and boys) STILL lost in the Park. And yes, folks, it happens just like that! More than you know. One time, innocent fun with friends, a dare, a little experiment, a weekend when parents away, next thing you know, in places you'd never go, sharing a smoke with strangers snif a little blow, too late to go home, grab a backpack and break night, bumb a ride, ditch your friend, it's too scary for how many these weekends never end. Sluff one class,couple hits from the glass, go from pipe dreams to tin foil maps lead you down the beaten path, thay leads you to the park.
IF you don't get billboard, time will prove this song legendary! The people who are resonating needed this song. You are Awakening so many to their hearts again. History will remember you well, Nova. ❤❤❤❤❤
For sure.A homerun for sure. Being lost doesnt have an age. Many out here hurting and lost. This song hits millions. 👍lets get 1million views on you tube before toms new release. 21,487 to go.
Beautiful ❤️ Brought me back to being a 14-16 year old, living on the streets. I've healed from those days, long ago, but my heart still hurts for those going through the same. What a beautiful song that will give those suffering the same, a place to go, in their hearts, where they will not feel alone. This song will help so many! Sweet Nova, you are one of a kind. ❤
Isn't she!?? :)
My baby brother just sent this to me, said it reminded him of me. 😢 WAY TO GO Nova, beautiful song; definitely hits home. 🤍
This song just took me back 15 years! ❤ being young with no adults to care where I was or if I ended up okay. Being on your own and having to make a family with the friends who were LOST just like we were. We felt alone, but at least we were alone together. Growing up is hard...this song was like an ode to my past...not everyone makes it out okay after being lost... Great song Nova!
You're one amazing, hell of a woman Nova. The world needed this song as much as you needed to make it. Thank you.
I can't say anything that hasn't already been said. I'm in tears right now. So proud of you.
I'm here from Superman. You're a genius. This music resonates with how I've felt lately. We were too young to have time to choose the things we chose to do.
I cried and played this on repeat bc it hit me in my lost girl gut that had so many walls,bricks walls w barb wire fencing around my heart since thoses days. Im so proud of you Nova and ty for this song!!
Same ❤️🩹💜
Beautifully heartbreaking. Thanks for being a real one, Nova. Hope everyone who needs to hears this!
Man, Nova, this is incredible. I can feel how much of yourself you put into this. What an amazing song. It was worth the wait. I hope the next one comes soon. Way to much talent to not share it with the world
@novarockafeller I came to your channel through Toms just out of curiosity and firstly I would like to say that it is criminal that you haven't been properly recognized for the amazing work you do on Tom's videos. The sets, videography and production is just outstanding. I'm surprised Hollywood hasn't tried stealing you from Tom lol secondly, this is the first song I have heard from you and I have been completely blown away by it. As someone who went through the system in Northern Ireland from birth I can totally relate to what this song is about. I lost friends due to drink and drugs, and being from N/Ireland I also lost some from bullets and bombs. As a recovering addict who's been clean for nearly 20 years I can really feel your pain in this song. The lyrics hit home and your voice is stunning. I have just bought it and will probably be playing on repeat for the next few weeks. I can only imagine how much you still struggle with the past but I am so happy to hear you are in a much better place with Tom. Keep up the great work you are doing. Good luck to you both. Regards from the UK 🙂
This song hits so deep. I have listened to it numerous times. Watched a few reactions. Unfortunately, they don't really get it. If you know, you know. Baby girl got so much talent and is a genius! I am working on trying to heal those wounds, and failing. May God give you peace Nova. I feel the heartbreak and pain. Even good memories are painful sometimes, and i feel you! You are so loved!
I have read many comments and I perceive most get it... I am curious, what is it you think the reactors are not getting?
@ThaiChinaMalay trying to get through the day with the least pain possible. Having to do things you know is wrong, but have to survive somehow. Loneliness, constant fear, self-loathing, feeling worthless, try to be strong and act tough on the outside, but screaming for help on the inside. Attaching to people who are there in the moment. Ugly cried for 2 days because this song brought back memories I have tried to bury. Past is the past and needs to stay there... for mental health reasons. Thank you for listening, Thia. Hope this helps you understand.
@@pariswilliams548 Thanks for your reply, sometimes a good cry is so beneficial, hope it helped you. Please consider that many people relate to your experience. Enoy today and smile.
Tom & Nova setting the stage, Independent artists who are not owned or controlled by the labels are literally better than the top artists in the charts, do not sell your souls for fame and fortune. Peace
For real, Em was so motivated at first in his career until he realized he had no control of his life after signing the contract and his music slowly declined and now when you listen to his music he lost the energy in his voice and he uses filler words at times more than he ever did, he sounds burned out or exhausted from being in his postion with all those brand deals and companies that will oust him if he supports independent artists or raps about real life stuff. It's good that Nova got out while she could and she's doing amazing right now, her and tom are awesome.
So did Phish.
The stage was set by the beginning of fm radio. FM started out as independent radio for the most part almost 10 years but programming and commercial radio took over sadly. Tom just brought back the best kinda uncensored music via the internet God bless him
@@JDogVids Em' Can do whatever he wants.....tho..... , He LITERALLY OWNS.... SHADY RECORDS...... He can rap about whatever he wants too, And well he HAS been rapping let's see.... for uhhh how old is he now like 50 or 51.....?? So 36 or 37 years now....... I mean .............. PHEW.......... I mean OF COURSE YOU'RE GOING TO be burned out. Lol........ He's written so much crap now that it aint even funny, Of course I miss the old em' , not that I don't like the new , I may not like all of his new, Nor all of his old, But lyrically he's still the best of all time, but that's just my opinion bro. IDK WHY EVERYONE is suddenly talking about Marshall ALL OF A SUDDEN on Tom and Novas pages this is weird.....
@@JDogVids AND YES HIM AND NOVA ARE FOR SURE DOPE HOMIE.......
_I was a Lost Girl in the 60's._
_Now I'm a Lost Girl in my 70's._

Hello from the 80s movie vampire clan
Tammie why you lost at 70? That's scary. I am 53, my parents are 89 and fading and my husband tells me often he will die soon. He just thinks so. he is 66. That is very scary to think about being lost at 70. Thank Beautiful Jesus I have him God and the Holy Spirit. I hope you were just being funny. Hi from Vermont
Yes if your lost at 70 then I hope you will maybe trying to not just believe in Jesus but YOU HAVE YO ACTUALLY BUILD A REAKATIONSHIP WITH HIM!!!(IF YOUR TALKING AND PRAYING TO HIM AND HES NOT THERE THEN YOU NEED TO WORK ON BUILDING A RELATIONSHIP WITH HIM, HE WILL GIVE YOU SIGNS AND YOU WILL KNOW WHEN YOU HAVE STARTED YO BUILD AN ACTUAL RELATION SHIP WITH HIM!!!❤❤❤ Hi I'm Tonya!!!

Omg I have this song on heavy rotation on Spotify. I’m a genX girl grew up In LA county/North Hollywood area and every time this song comes on tears burst out every fucking time. May be that line “growing up was way too hard” u got that right sister. Grateful for u ❤
I know I’m crying for that lost girl I was, spent a lot of nights and days in the streets over the hill in Hollywood
Beautiful and so very heartbreaking...here's to all us lost girls and boys! ❤
Makes me so mad that Mainstream kept this from us! The way I related to this song has left me a lil speechless and mad I didn’t have something like this to relate to earlier! But damn glad we have it now! You’re amazing Nova! Absolutely cannot wait to hear more! Thank you for sharing this with us and making yourself vulnerable again. YOU ROCK THIS SONG ROCKS AND WE LOVE YOU 💖💖💖
I hope this song and video gets the attention it deserves!!! The world is missing out on your music and we need more artists like you!
I have to say that this song hits pretty hard. Lived this life back in the eighties. I was homeless and in the system because my family sucked. Thanks for the song Nova. Love your music.
I cried listening to this song! I was a lost boy who made it out of the park. I'm thinking about those that didn't make it out. Deep and emotional track.. congrats on a banger!
Yes!!!! I just checked and Nova is #1 in the alt rock category.!!! You go girl!!
Damn…. Heard so many lost girl stories as a social worker… This is definitely 💯
As always, Nova, you ROCK, and this was an EXCELLENT anthem!!
I’ve just discovered you & your art!
You are amazing with your voice, personality with Tom, & overall you rock.
I don’t follow many song artists, but love you & Tom.
I love what you 2 represent.
Thank you 🙏
You know I love your music so much Nova 😭 another beautiful badass song as always

#HangoverGang
Cool
I have seen Nova wearing Slikpnot and other metal/rock bands tshirts. This explains her wide range of creativity such as playing the guitar! Lyrics super relevant and touching.This is AMAZING!! 🔥🔥🔥
As a girl who lost in the park, this hits all the feels Nova ❤ congratulations 🎉🎉🎉 lost girls anthem!!!!
Thank you Nova for creating content that's also impactful and inspiring. This song really hits a lost guy.. You are a great person that's appreciated alot
Great song Nova! Thanks for tearing open your heart and sharing with us. We love you girl. ❤️
Love ❤️ seeing an extremely talented, skilled and real human sharing their art. Continue to be the light in this dark world, Earth 🌎 needs more like this. Mad love ❤️ & respect ✊ Nova
Nova you are such a breath of fresh air! I’m 53 and lived this song, I’m also a mortician and I see how it could have ended for me. Thank you for putting my life to music.
I would never say I understand this song..it's clearly impactful to her and so many ..very cool..but I can tell ya'll I love the sound...and Nova slays!
Grew up in the system on the streets thank you for this! #lostgirl here this is amazing! This was my life I don’t know how I made it out alive! 7 years clean coming up in January!! I’m not a lost girl home with my kid and my kitties! I have my bubble🖤 stay safe out there
Maybe it's that I'm old and a mom but listening to this is heartbreaking. It's also musically brilliant and showcases Nova's ridiculous talent. Definitely worth relistening to over and over again.
It give me flashbacks to the 80's-90's. Ran like a Lost Girl but had a home.
I’m 60 years old. I’ve turned into a huge fan of yours and Tom’s music. This is a beautiful song and I know that it’s going to help some people out there. That’s all we can ever really hope to do ……help others to help themselves
"Barely 15, but we had to grow up
Arms full of cuts and nobody to trust
How can you have dreams when you're us?"
Ofh, felt that.
If there's any lost girls watching this as a teen:
From a former lost girl wirh legs full of scars, recovered from an ED and mentally stable even with diagnosis list a full sheet of paper long, it gets better.
Im a healthy, stable, self loving woman now and my dreams came true. It took time and alot of work but I wanted it desperately so I got it.
You can too baby, I promise.
Don't let anyone tell you that you cant because of your past, or because of your mental illnesses, where you come from, or anything else.
The world is your and you deserve happiness.
Im happily married to my soul mate for 10 years. 5 kids. 60 acers, home steading and financially stable. Those were my dreams and I got em. You can get whatever your dreams are too. Just look at Nova
Whether you’re behind the camera or the mic you’re always pouring your heart into your work and I love seeing every bit of it 🎉
Nova.... This honestly touched my heart. It brought tears to my eyes in flood of memories that I pushed into the darkness of the corners of my mind. Your music rings with so much truth that shouldn't be but is. Keep going girl!! We want to hear more!! Hugs
I felt this so much. For anyone feeling lost, keep going and be your own light in the dark. There is a way through even when all you can see is the step right in front of you. Love this Nova! Thank you for not only being you, but for sharing it with the world unapologetically and with love!
Damn Nova Rockefeller!!
Glad to see you on scene and not behind the magic ❤
This song is a lost girl anthem! But damn do we come back fighting!
