Same here... I was handling the video okay but when she started crying I was tearing up but when put her head down and went into full feeling crying I lost it. I could feel her pain!!!
If you guys take a second to look you’ll notice the comments with hearts were from 7 months ago and this comment is from 4 months ago. All hearts I seen were on comments from 7 months back, anything I seen sooner than 7 months ago had no ❤️
I remember sitting in the line at school waiting to pick up my babies from school and this song came on. I cried hysterically, my son got in the car and really thought something happened. As a recovering addict, this song is hard, so hard.
I'm in the same boat I uave 6 years and thought I uad buried a lot of emotions....but this song made me see things again from a perspective the hurts and the memories attached to it. I'm glad you found your way out and are present and able to pick your kids up. Addicts only have 3 roads jail/prison, or death rarely do we choose the road of recovery and sobriety its not a easy road to find when you're in the middle of full blown addiction....so I'm glad you are hear I'm glad you are sober and I am glad you are present and in your children's lives. Stay safe you've got this
Same. I get emotional every time I hear it bc for many years I put my son through hell bc of my selfishness. I've been clean for 4 years and I was able to go to see son my son walk at graduation over the weekend!
Amen! Lost my mom the same way in 2000 and the pain is always just under the surface. Never goes away totally. This song hits me hard every time. The woman in this video even kind of looks like my mom in her final years.
He kicked out everyone in the studio to do the last verse...N.F is deep n real music real emotions love the reacts prayers your way can see that hit home
I sob every time I hear this song, no matter how many times I’ve heard it. My friend Shannon died of a pill overdose a few months ago, after being clean for several years. She left behind two kids, one 13, one 6. It’s heartbreaking. Shannon was a fiery, strong, beautiful, often mean person. And I loved every part of her. She was such a bitch. She was also the most loyal and devoted person to anyone she allowed to love her. I miss her.
I loveeeee how you were honest in mentioning she was a bitch. Im sure shannon is watching over you and because you been true to her she hasn't left you. Honor people for whom they were in life & they can rest peacefully. Xoxoxo
She just showed real strength and let it all out on here. She could have walked out or edited the video but she didn't. Most people still think crying is weak and you should bury those emotions so you don't look weak. Well I'll tell you first hand that it's a false narrative. All it did was eat me up inside and eventually when the situation finally hit its boiling point you lash out, mostly on the people you love. Pride is a killer and it takes out more people than we realize. Thanks for pouring your heart out through your tears are going to save people lives because its gonna provide the strength and encouragement to to be real and not let pride take them out. God Bless you and your family.
I learned my lesson on hiding my emotions instead of letting them out. That melt down I had scared the ish out of me lol it was at that moment that I realized, F pride this stuff needs to come out lol
As an addict, this song hurts a lot. I refuse to have kids due to my issues. I was clean for 11 years and relapsed a couple of years ago. I am having a really hard time with it this time. I want to get better but sometimes I fear ultimately it will kill me. NF is so amazing at painting a picture. Your wife has such a beautiful soul. What an amazing woman, and you are a great man, so much respect for the both of you and I wish you the best.
Bro you can do this don't let your addiction define your life . I just got clean off opiods after thinking I would never be free from it's grasped but here I am and you did it for 11 years so you can do it I believe in you
I listen to this song almost daily. I lost my mother in a similar way. She was diagnosed with stage 4 breast cancer, and couldn't handle it. She committed suicide by pills two days later. I was 19 at the time, hooked on drugs myself, and hopeless. That moment changed my life for the best however. I cleaned up, ended up falling in love, had 3 children, and found happiness. I come back to this song to remember how much bad decisions can hurt someone you love. I cry as well, but at the same time, this song reminds me to never go back to that life, and keep on fighting the good fight. Take it as a positive Jai, use it to make you stronger.
Proud of you I was hooked on pain pills for years I worked one job for bills the other for my habit I would think in my mind my kids are not doing without they got everything they need but then I realized I was taking time away from them working that second job and I got help if anyone's reading this get help go to a hospital that has a detox they can not turn you away if you don't have insurance then they will set up up with a free rehab facility
I knew Jai was going to have a difficult time getting through this. She is a great soul. Love to see Half take care of her and even wipe her tears away. You two are a wonderful couple. Peace and positivity to you both.
I’ve never seen anyone break down like that over this song, maybe a few tears but her reaction seemed genuine and I could see concern in your face when she started crying. Best reaction yet.
I lost my mom to pills and when this song comes on I lose it. Seeing this reaction just killed me. But almost in a good way. Felt like I wasn’t a lone for some reason. Thanks for sharing these raw emotions with us.
Ma'am you made me cry. That was the most honest and beautiful reaction I've ever seen. You have a new subscriber. That song touches me personally as well and I can't tell you how much I appreciate your honest reaction. Sir... you're a good man.. you care about your woman and I appreciate you.
This is the first song I ever heard from NF. It was right after I lost my son to addiction in 2017. The line “I hate the way I remember you” is exactly how I feel. After dealing with my son’s addiction for six years, it is hard to remember the good times. Praying that in time, I will be able to remember his beautiful heart and smile. I do know that this song has also helped a lot of moms beat their addiction.
I've watched several of your reactions. This one caught you a subscriber. Her honest, raw, uncut reaction got me. She could hsve edited it out, could have pretended. Her realness, you showing her love... y'all got me.. best wishes.
I remember hearing this song for the first time when it came out and was paralyzed by the lyrics. Completely broke down after it finished. My mother is still alive, but her drug addiction pushed all of us away. Our family will never be the same. The cigarette line is the most relatable shit. That smell will always remind me of her.
this is my daughter...I have her daughter,my grand daughter, living with me. At age 4 I had to rescue her from her mom because of the drugs, neglect, druggies sleeping over, very unsafe! Her son was taken by his father but he was killed in car accident right before Christmas 2020 at age 13...he was crying while he died in his other grandmother's arms crying, "I want my mommy." He never saw her for many years. I cry when I remember hearing that. He was crying for his mommy. After all the years of not seeing her. All the times she left him to do drugs. Now he is in heaven where he knows no sorrow. But I still cry for his loss of his mom. His not being allowed to see us or his half sister. His dad had custody but himself is an alcoholic. Drugs are so very evil. They destroyed my family. My daughter is still alive but she has overdosed many times. Thankfully, her daughter was with me and didn't see those times when the rescue squad resuscitated her mother. If I could I would destroy all the drugs that enslave people all over the world, especially in America. God is sad. He is also angry at the wasted destroyed sad lives because of selfish people who choose drugs over even their own little kids.
The first time my mom ODed I was 14 while holding her hand. My dad had just left because she was spending everything on pills. I was homeless at 17 when she had to go to rehab. She ended up ODing for the last time about 6 years ago when she died. I'm 28 now and have a beautiful 5 month old son that she never will see.
@@jcphan2191 it's a selfish disease, yes it's a choice at first and once it grabs a hold of you, it's hard to let it go. When someone starts using.. in the beginning you feel great, energetic and you can feel like you can accomplish anything. When you feel this way, you don't ever want to stop but it's a lie. Eventually, you'll need it all the time to just "function" and feel "normal". I was addicted and choose drugs over my son for many years. I lost everything. I bow have 4 years clean and take full responsibility of what I caused and did. I'm sorry to hear about your daughter and the pain that your granddaughter goes through. I hope she seeks help and one day be a part of the family again. God Bless.
After he recorded this song his producer asked if he was sure that he wanted to release it cuz it was so raw and vulnerable. He said why wouldn't I, it's part of my story. Some thonk this should be played in rehab centers for the perspective of familyvmekbers, especially kids who are affected by addiction by their parents. Glad you made it through, not every one can. But as you go through his journey you will understand where his pain is rooted from. He has a sing called Nate on the new album that is equally impactful in my opinion. To evoke true emotion is a art that not all artists can do. Thanks for your heart in this. Prayers for you both!
Playing this in rehab is a terrible idea. One thing opiate addiction does is mute and numb emotions, showing someone in recovery an emotional video like this will 9/10 overwhelm someone in treatment. Thereby making them want to seek out more drugs to numb themselves as thats the 'easy' path and the body/mind will always seek out what has worked before regardless of our intentions.
You've probably lost your humanity if you don't cry watching this for the first time. Literally everyone cries. He's so good at painting a picture. You can just hear the true emotion in his voice
Lost your humanity? That's a stretch. People who go through seeing their parents/family addicted to anything can relate (be it pills, street drugs, or alcohol), but most become numb to it when they see it happen to others. It, in some sense, sits at a certain level of normal for them. This song definitely hits hard, but you haven't "lost your humanity" if you don't cry over it. You sound like a judgemental millennial who hasn't experienced anything this song speaks on.
Guess my humanity is gone. I've accepted the fact that people pass away. I'm numb to it. You want to judge me? That's cool, because your type is why i don't feel bad. Garbage and judgemental people made me not be sympathetic. We will see what humanity is left if you judge me in person. Trust that.
The first time I listened to this I was at work and started balling and a few customers asked if I was okay, then came home and listened to it again and it was just as bad as before, then I watched this and it was even worse, such a powerful song this is
Real men stuff right there. And I feel you. I cried the same way. This is real stuff real feeling real battles. We gotta unite. And realize how we need be there for one another and STOP HATING. I love y’all. I mean that, love is the key.
This is the most emotional song NF ever did and no apologies for crying. I cried just watching you. Thanks again for the insight and breakdowns. Always enjoy you heartfelt comments and hope to hear more.
That by far is the most beautiful reaction to such a sad song… that simply tells me that you are a good hearted person… my man you struck gold with your lady… god bless you both… this is what we need in today’s society… A HEART ❤️
That was quite a reaction. I'm glad you guys didn't cut the emotional parts out... NF is really transparent with this song and puts his heart and soul out front in center, so it's cool that you guys showed the same transparency with the reaction, it's a great song, but definitely not something you can just listen to for fun.
I don’t know what made tear up more. Her reaction or him taking care of her like that. So much negativity in the world, touching seeing emotions and love like that.
8:50 is when I felt like your wife truly knows this pain. In one way or another. I felt truly connected to you guys. Thanks for this raw reaction. I feel less alone.
My grandpa raised me until 11 and passed away due to pain pills and alcohol. Mom died a few years later from the same thing so this song hits really hard for me.
A person from my class played this video in front of the class because it was a part of her presentation. And the whole class was emotional and tried to hold their tears back
I have heard this song hundreds of times I watched many other people react to it it never gets easier I'm a 39 year old man and I break down every time I just been through so much in my life. I appreciate you guys love how you keep it real thank you. 💯🔥🙏
I was addicted to opiates; yet, I declared control over my after my daughter played me this song! Never again will I ever take these oral demons again. I spent almost a year away from my children in treatment. I missed them everyday with an ache I can’t describe but here we are now. I’m almost 4 years sober, in a home we own and a great job. Songs are sometimes the gateway to our soul. 🙏❤️
Her emotion is exactly what this song was meant to bring out. I came from y’all Hope video to go through y’all’s entire NF playlist. I’ve now subbed. 🖤🖤🖤
What beautiful love the two of you have for one another. Takes a strong man to be genuinely tender to his girl. She knows he has her and he has her because he knows she loves him just the same. Truly beautiful 💕❤️💕
Jai, you a real one. As much as I hate seeing you cry, I love knowing you’re soul isn’t so bitter you can’t. Half, man. Taking care of her, wiping away those tears, that’s one of the pinnacles of being a man. You two are beautiful, keep up the great work!
This song hits home. I’m 7 days sober from a pill addiction so ik what it could be like and how bad things can get. Thank you for reacting to this song and I hope you guys and everyone reading this can push on.
Now that's a real man there everyone The way you help comfort her made my heart ache respect to you both.Soulmates are hard to find this is what true love looks like respect to you both x
Only heard this song a couple days ago n watched a lot of reactions in a short time n honestly out of all of them U, shorty, got the most genuine raw reaction. I'm sorry u hurt the way u do. I'm sorry anyone/everyone hurts the way they do. Condolences to anyone who ever lost somebody they loved. May they R.I.P 😥
Me too.Its real and anyone who has someone they love or someone important in their life that is going through an addiction,will cry.Not everyone wins that battle
This man is sooo kind and caring towards his woman.... he is truly a stand up man. He has a lotta stuff figured out that I still don't. She is a lucky woman, he is a lucky man!
I've been watching sooooo many reactions with you two, and she's got one of the most genuine, contagious laughers of all reaction people I've seen, She seams to be a very happy and easy laughing person, when she started crying was the first time I cried to this song in over a year. And my man, I dare all of you people to find another reaction couple on youtube where he stops the reaction just to care for his girl.. WOW! You two really seam like an amazing couple of humans! Out of the hundreds if not around a thousand reactions I've watched so far, you two are by far my favorites to watch!
This song and her reaction would have choked me up anytime, but especially now. My wife passed away in July, after suffering for many years, physically and mentally. I have found that reactors have helped me greatly on working through the grief and depression.
Wut it do wut it do wut it do Half and Jai squad❗️Thanks for the 3.8K subscribers, let’s get to 4K by the end of this month❗️If you’re new to the channel don’t forget to like comment and subscribe❗️See you guys next video❗️🤟🏾www.patreon.com/HalfandJai
Yea this is a sad song it's crazy cuz Ems mom was addicted to pills too and Em himself got addicted to them he talks about it on Cleanin out my Closet and a few other songs on Castle he's writing letters to his daughter Hailie and on Arose he's fighting for his life
All i have to say is God bless you guys... I can see both of you are good souls, good honest people and above all REAL! Thanks for every reaction you guys put out! Stay safe and stay healthy!
Usually when I watch reactors cry, im crying right there with them (and I definitely did.) But all I could think about is, what a good man you have. That is a true man right there, taking care of your woman like that.
This cut really deep. So sorry Jai, I felt your pain. Not only did I lose someone close to me due to opiod abuse, I was an addict that could have put his children in this situation. Makes me sick to think I did that to them but under the spell, all you care about is yourself. I have no doubt I was close to the edge and about to go over it but with the will to fight, I did and with a lot of pain and suffering, I won......so far. I know that I'll always be on that edge so I move forward with caution.
I gotta be honest.....I've only heard this song once and I cried for 10 minutes after......seeing Jai crying in the thumbnail I had to share in her pain and sadness.....people should never cry alone.....this songs cuts into my soul.....play our Queen something happy Half....love you both so much .....go listen to Nowhere to Go by Snow.....you will smile the whole video
It honestly felt good to cry to this song, it feels like I just released something and this song has made me relize I need to show more love to my mother because she's almost 70 and not a small person so I know time is ticking. I also need to reach out to my sister and put myself in a vulnerable place for the chance we can mend our issues. I'm so glad I watched this with you 2.
My boy is a pure gentleman. Salute sir!
No Doubt! Good lookin out Half!
100%
Can’t agree more
I swear, they’re an amazing couple
True man👊❤
I was fine until she started crying. Dang. Never had a reactor make me tear up. She's genuinely beautiful.
Same here... I was handling the video okay but when she started crying I was tearing up but when put her head down and went into full feeling crying I lost it. I could feel her pain!!!
I'm thinking she may be able to relate to the emotions in this song.
they really didn’t give you a heart because you said she was beautiful wtf
If you guys take a second to look you’ll notice the comments with hearts were from 7 months ago and this comment is from 4 months ago. All hearts I seen were on comments from 7 months back, anything I seen sooner than 7 months ago had no ❤️
@@laneybrandonbl she says at the end I can relate
I remember sitting in the line at school waiting to pick up my babies from school and this song came on. I cried hysterically, my son got in the car and really thought something happened. As a recovering addict, this song is hard, so hard.
+24 hours my friend!
Coming from the kids point of view i can agree, it hurts so much that words can’t describe it, only screams.
I'm in the same boat I uave 6 years and thought I uad buried a lot of emotions....but this song made me see things again from a perspective the hurts and the memories attached to it. I'm glad you found your way out and are present and able to pick your kids up. Addicts only have 3 roads jail/prison, or death rarely do we choose the road of recovery and sobriety its not a easy road to find when you're in the middle of full blown addiction....so I'm glad you are hear I'm glad you are sober and I am glad you are present and in your children's lives. Stay safe you've got this
Same. I get emotional every time I hear it bc for many years I put my son through hell bc of my selfishness. I've been clean for 4 years and I was able to go to see son my son walk at graduation over the weekend!
CONGRATS on ur recovery!! U got this 💙
Everyone cries at this one. NF is so brave to tell us this story. It’s sad but beautiful.
That cpmmmmmm
sounds so stupid realy, brave to tell something, doesnt take a real effort now imo.
@Slamet Raharjo well, it's technically a real-life STORY
@@swansmeister Not everyone could go through that tbh. It's not easy as you expect it to write anything about a loved-one who passed away.
Yea and it sucks when you have to go through this shit it's bullshit
I lost my father in 2001 to drug abuse. It still hurts, nearly 20 years later. This song got me!
Amen! Lost my mom the same way in 2000 and the pain is always just under the surface. Never goes away totally. This song hits me hard every time. The woman in this video even kind of looks like my mom in her final years.
Lost my mom to Alcohol in 1992. I feel you for real.
I'm so sorry for your loss.
I lost my dad in 2001 also to alcohol and drugs. I was OK til she broke down. 💔
@@Acadian.FrenchFry this is what's cool he connects to everyone on a different level
When she stopped moving her head i knew.
" I heard that this one is a true story."
Yeah, that's basically all NF songs.. You'll get used to it.
Arkan Kent all his stuff is true I’ve been listening and following his movements since he dropped his first album
That's why they are all great
He inspired me to rap
All of nates song are true
Heck yeaah
NF: Real music.
Half and Jai: Real people with real reactions.
Me: A real fan.
Real
4real man
He kicked out everyone in the studio to do the last verse...N.F is deep n real music real emotions love the reacts prayers your way can see that hit home
He didn’t kick them out, they left cuz they knew how hard it was for him
U talking about the final verse or the part were he was speaking at the end
He did not kick anyone out. The staff left on their own volition out of respect.
He ran everyone out of the studio when he recorded the last part of him crying and talking to his mom.
Yeah was real
@@seriresamira3364 NF always going to be real no matter what
I just gotta say this man right here is the definition of a true man. The way he took care of his girl like that is honorable. Much respect homie 🙏🏻
JetNation R Thank you bro!
Half And Jai keep up the grind. You don’t see to many like y’all around anymore and it’s very humbling
I agree! Definition of a godly man!
I felt the same way.. you a great MAN.. A REAL MAN.. LOVE BOTH Y'ALL
I sob every time I hear this song, no matter how many times I’ve heard it.

I know - this is a STRONG woman and a great role model!
I used to bottle up my sadness, but all it did was ferment until it turned into blinding rage. Just cry. The alternative is not worth it.
"most"except everyone I turn in the TV or Internet...
Crying when it's not necessary is weak, live well and you'll know when it's necessary.
most people think crying is weak.... FOR MEN.... no one has ever felt any kind of way about a woman crying
I learned my lesson on hiding my emotions instead of letting them out. That melt down I had scared the ish out of me lol it was at that moment that I realized, F pride this stuff needs to come out lol

You can do it !!!!! Never ever ever give up on yourself.
How are you holding up? Reach out if you need to.
Keep fighting bro we got hella faith in you
Bro you can do this don't let your addiction define your life . I just got clean off opiods after thinking I would never be free from it's grasped but here I am and you did it for 11 years so you can do it I believe in you

💯😢✌️
I knew Jai was going to have a difficult time getting through this. She is a great soul. Love to see Half take care of her and even wipe her tears away. You two are a wonderful couple. Peace and positivity to you both.
You know it was real when she went from vibing to stillness and paying full attention
Agreed 💯💯💯

I’ve never seen anyone break down like that over this song, maybe a few tears but her reaction seemed genuine and I could see concern in your face when she started crying. Best reaction yet.
I lost my mom to pills and when this song comes on I lose it. Seeing this reaction just killed me. But almost in a good way. Felt like I wasn’t a lone for some reason. Thanks for sharing these raw emotions with us.
Honey it's okay to cry. Everyone did and still does when they hear this.
Amber - I only can agree with it
Every time
God, how I would like to be loved as much as you love her ...
Ma'am you made me cry. That was the most honest and beautiful reaction I've ever seen. You have a new subscriber. That song touches me personally as well and I can't tell you how much I appreciate your honest reaction. Sir... you're a good man.. you care about your woman and I appreciate you.
the second she started crying I started crying and now it's a full ugly cry.
One of the harder reactions to this song.
I was the unwanted foster kid. My mom abandoned us. This song tears me apart because I have lived it. Half and Jai are the parents I wished I'd had.
We all need to take a moment and pray for the ones in a struggle with addictions hopefully they find a way to work through it and get help
You’re such a good boy. Thank you for treating your lady that way.
This is the first song I ever heard from NF. It was right after I lost my son to addiction in 2017. The line “I hate the way I remember you” is exactly how I feel. After dealing with my son’s addiction for six years, it is hard to remember the good times. Praying that in time, I will be able to remember his beautiful heart and smile. I do know that this song has also helped a lot of moms beat their addiction.
Tina Bagheri We are so sorry to hear that about your son. Our thoughts and prayers are with you.
Half And Jai thank you so much. I know my son is finally at peace, and I will see him again one day. Until then, my heart hurts. Music is my therapy.
Sending love to you x
Tina, I'm so very sorry for all the pain and loss you've had to go through. Much love, wish I could hug you.
@@O-T-7-BTS thank you.
What a beautiful and authentic reaction. I'm over here sobbing and I've heard this song 8 million times. 😭😭
Hope ur wife is ok she made me cry. Reminds me of my mom passing from cancer day before my birthday.
So sorry to hear about your loss, Randy. XXXOOO

She ended up ODing for the last time about 6 years ago when she died. I'm 28 now and have a beautiful 5 month old son that she never will see.
@@jcphan2191 it's a selfish disease, yes it's a choice at first and once it grabs a hold of you, it's hard to let it go. When someone starts using.. in the beginning you feel great, energetic and you can feel like you can accomplish anything. When you feel this way, you don't ever want to stop but it's a lie. Eventually, you'll need it all the time to just "function" and feel "normal". I was addicted and choose drugs over my son for many years. I lost everything. I bow have 4 years clean and take full responsibility of what I caused and did. I'm sorry to hear about your daughter and the pain that your granddaughter goes through. I hope she seeks help and one day be a part of the family again. God Bless.
This most real reaction I have ever seen. I am a mom and recovery’s addict. This touched my ❤️ you all real ppl I have ever seen. Thank you.
After he recorded this song his producer asked if he was sure that he wanted to release it cuz it was so raw and vulnerable. He said why wouldn't I, it's part of my story. Some thonk this should be played in rehab centers for the perspective of familyvmekbers, especially kids who are affected by addiction by their parents. Glad you made it through, not every one can. But as you go through his journey you will understand where his pain is rooted from. He has a sing called Nate on the new album that is equally impactful in my opinion. To evoke true emotion is a art that not all artists can do. Thanks for your heart in this. Prayers for you both!
Bruh where do u get this information
Playing this in rehab is a terrible idea. One thing opiate addiction does is mute and numb emotions, showing someone in recovery an emotional video like this will 9/10 overwhelm someone in treatment. Thereby making them want to seek out more drugs to numb themselves as thats the 'easy' path and the body/mind will always seek out what has worked before regardless of our intentions.
heart to the eyes. Life. Clearly you could see the compassion in your reaction. Thanks, helps me know I am not the only one. Peace
You've probably lost your humanity if you don't cry watching this for the first time. Literally everyone cries. He's so good at painting a picture. You can just hear the true emotion in his voice
i didn't but im just not good with emotion
Lost your humanity? That's a stretch.
People who go through seeing their parents/family addicted to anything can relate (be it pills, street drugs, or alcohol), but most become numb to it when they see it happen to others. It, in some sense, sits at a certain level of normal for them. This song definitely hits hard, but you haven't "lost your humanity" if you don't cry over it. You sound like a judgemental millennial who hasn't experienced anything this song speaks on.
Guess my humanity is gone. I've accepted the fact that people pass away. I'm numb to it. You want to judge me? That's cool, because your type is why i don't feel bad. Garbage and judgemental people made me not be sympathetic. We will see what humanity is left if you judge me in person. Trust that.
The first time I listened to this I was at work and started balling and a few customers asked if I was okay, then came home and listened to it again and it was just as bad as before, then I watched this and it was even worse, such a powerful song this is
@@vyctorearandall9022 I'm not either, this is the first time I've cried in 4 years
Real men stuff right there. And I feel you. I cried the same way. This is real stuff real feeling real battles. We gotta unite. And realize how we need be there for one another and STOP HATING. I love y’all. I mean that, love is the key.
I'm glad I'm not the only one that gets emotional and cries, sometimes, when I hear music.
Your girl got a good heart .your one of the lucky ones bro...u guys are awesome!
This is the most emotional song NF ever did and no apologies for crying. I cried just watching you. Thanks again for the insight and breakdowns. Always enjoy you heartfelt comments and hope to hear more.
That by far is the most beautiful reaction to such a sad song… that simply tells me that you are a good hearted person… my man you struck gold with your lady… god bless you both… this is what we need in today’s society… A HEART ❤️
That was quite a reaction. I'm glad you guys didn't cut the emotional parts out... NF is really transparent with this song and puts his heart and soul out front in center, so it's cool that you guys showed the same transparency with the reaction, it's a great song, but definitely not something you can just listen to for fun.
That was as real as it gets. My man is a true gentlemen for the immediate concern he showed for his lady.
Anyone who has lost someone close feels this song on a whole different level. I cried with you. God bless.
Precious Jai. I know this is 2 years ago but your reaction touches my heart. Thank you for sharing and being real.❤
Rarely a dry eye the first time anyone hears (feels) this song for the first time. Can’t wait for more on the NF journey
I don’t know what made tear up more. Her reaction or him taking care of her like that. So much negativity in the world, touching seeing emotions and love like that.
sometimes you want to say 'Damn you NF and bless you NF' at the same time dude is amazing
seeing her cry got me and I'm a hard-ass for real i could only imagine why that touched her so. forever hold her tight Jai
I lost my mom 2 years ago, trust me most of us cried the first time and still do. That's why NF Is REAL music #LoveandLight
Thirdeyedreamer So sorry to hear that! Our thoughts and prayers are with you.
The healing of the world happens when we witness one another’s pain.
No rapper has ever put this much emotion into a song and shared with the world on such a deep level
Thanks for being real with us.
8:50 is when I felt like your wife truly knows this pain. In one way or another. I felt truly connected to you guys. Thanks for this raw reaction. I feel less alone.
Nothing like a true reaction. Touched my heart. Love from Ga.
When Jai started crying I started crying too. I felt you.
I think this touched her personally in some way.
This is the same response I still get every time I hear this song. That is how it should make you feel. That is what makes it so great.
My grandpa raised me until 11 and passed away due to pain pills and alcohol. Mom died a few years later from the same thing so this song hits really hard for me.
Yeah I can definitely relate I wish my mom was here right now NF is deep
He kicked everyone out of the studio and then broke down crying... That's the last part.
A person from my class played this video in front of the class because it was a part of her presentation. And the whole class was emotional and tried to hold their tears back
I have heard this song hundreds of times I watched many other people react to it it never gets easier I'm a 39 year old man and I break down every time I just been through so much in my life. I appreciate you guys love how you keep it real thank you. 💯🔥🙏
I'm also 39 & I've been thru some hard things in my life.
NF hits hard for those who understand and have gone through the pain.
I was addicted to opiates; yet, I declared control over my after my daughter played me this song! Never again will I ever take these oral demons again. I spent almost a year away from my children in treatment. I missed them everyday with an ache I can’t describe but here we are now. I’m almost 4 years sober, in a home we own and a great job. Songs are sometimes the gateway to our soul. 🙏❤️
Her emotion is exactly what this song was meant to bring out. I came from y’all Hope video to go through y’all’s entire NF playlist. I’ve now subbed. 🖤🖤🖤
When he wiped her tears🥺😭
The vulnerability he shows in this song.... Never stops impressing
A raw song that tugs at your heartstrings every time you watch it. NF is the definition of a great story teller!
What beautiful love the two of you have for one another. Takes a strong man to be genuinely tender to his girl. She knows he has her and he has her because he knows she loves him just the same.
Truly beautiful 💕❤️💕
Jai, you a real one. As much as I hate seeing you cry, I love knowing you’re soul isn’t so bitter you can’t. Half, man. Taking care of her, wiping away those tears, that’s one of the pinnacles of being a man. You two are beautiful, keep up the great work!
This song hits home. I’m 7 days sober from a pill addiction so ik what it could be like and how bad things can get. Thank you for reacting to this song and I hope you guys and everyone reading this can push on.
Felt this on a different level 🥺
TRENDY ENVEE 💯
Now that's a real man there everyone
The way you help comfort her made my heart ache respect to you both.Soulmates are hard to find this is what true love looks like respect to you both x
This is the BEST reaction to anything, I love you baby girl 😘.
Only heard this song a couple days ago n watched a lot of reactions in a short time n honestly out of all of them U, shorty, got the most genuine raw reaction. I'm sorry u hurt the way u do. I'm sorry anyone/everyone hurts the way they do. Condolences to anyone who ever lost somebody they loved. May they R.I.P 😥
Legit this song left me in tears for like an hour after listening to it
The first time i listen to it i cried
Me too.Its real and anyone who has someone they love or someone important in their life that is going through an addiction,will cry.Not everyone wins that battle
I always cry when I hear this song but having Jai there feeling those emotions made it doubly emotional. Phew. Thank you.
You guys are so real..don’t ever stop.
This man is sooo kind and caring towards his woman.... he is truly a stand up man. He has a lotta stuff figured out that I still don't. She is a lucky woman, he is a lucky man!
Love the realness in your guys reactions..This and im sorry by joyner lucas made me feel the same way..
That’s how music is suppose to make you feel! You should feel the artist pain, even if you can’t relate!..
Girl, I just love you! That’s all! 🖤🖤
Damn. Y’all got me crying over here ☹️
I've been watching sooooo many reactions with you two, and she's got one of the most genuine, contagious laughers of all reaction people I've seen, She seams to be a very happy and easy laughing person, when she started crying was the first time I cried to this song in over a year. And my man, I dare all of you people to find another reaction couple on youtube where he stops the reaction just to care for his girl.. WOW! You two really seam like an amazing couple of humans! Out of the hundreds if not around a thousand reactions I've watched so far, you two are by far my favorites to watch!
When she started crying I was crying too like damn. This is the best reaction video I've seen.
I cried so hard, my mom was accidentally overdose from pills, she was 63, I was 36, took me 12 yrs to accepted her death, I was the one found her.....
This song and her reaction would have choked me up anytime, but especially now. My wife passed away in July, after suffering for many years, physically and mentally. I have found that reactors have helped me greatly on working through the grief and depression.
I’m so sorry, that’s horrible❤️
🥀✌️
Hope you’re doing good Mel.🤙
Rawest reaction ever, thanks for sharing this moment with us.
If only more men would cherish their woman like this! Pure gentleman!

Usually when I watch reactors cry, im crying right there with them (and I definitely did.) But all I could think about is, what a good man you have.
That is a true man right there, taking care of your woman like that.
This song hit my hard when I first heard it I just like broke down and cried
This cut really deep. So sorry Jai, I felt your pain. Not only did I lose someone close to me due to opiod abuse, I was an addict that could have put his children in this situation. Makes me sick to think I did that to them but under the spell, all you care about is yourself. I have no doubt I was close to the edge and about to go over it but with the will to fight, I did and with a lot of pain and suffering, I won......so far. I know that I'll always be on that edge so I move forward with caution.
You guys are so real and authentic!! I cry every time I watch this video.. 😭 and I’ve seen it over a thousand times!!
She's unbelievably empathetic. Bless her.
I gotta be honest.....I've only heard this song once and I cried for 10 minutes after......seeing Jai crying in the thumbnail I had to share in her pain and sadness.....people should never cry alone.....this songs cuts into my soul.....play our Queen something happy Half....love you both so much .....go listen to Nowhere to Go by Snow.....you will smile the whole video
It honestly felt good to cry to this song, it feels like I just released something and this song has made me relize I need to show more love to my mother because she's almost 70 and not a small person so I know time is ticking. I also need to reach out to my sister and put myself in a vulnerable place for the chance we can mend our issues. I'm so glad I watched this with you 2.
this song still gets me . very powerful and emotional hearing Nates voice in this one. heartbreaking 🖤
You can tell she was hearing everything that we who lost parents or parents left felt.
