Welcome to the NF family. He’s going to speak to you and PTSD like no other artist has. He lost his mom to drug addiction and it scarred him tremendously. He was also abused and lived in his own war zone. Start from the beginning and keep going. His journey is emotionally beautiful and relatable. This is one of my favorites and if you want just one suggestion, “I can feel it” is another one of my favs. Thank you for your service. I work with combat vets who have PTSD. You’ll love NF.
My best friend came back from multiple tours a completely different man. After 12 years he ended up getting a medical retirement. I see this song in him. Now I understand.
This song helped me put a voice to all of the pain I felt inside but was too prideful to admit. I was never in the military, but we all have demons that suck the joy out of our lives. NF has helped all of us with his abilty to put words to feelings. Thanks for sharing some of your story.
Same
The “long” list of songs is all the songs that connect to each previous songs. This is not a typical artist. He loves movies and built his projects like marvel films.
He hides eggs in his videos as well.
That is why people ask for the the journey to be taken.
He connected all six albums.
I’m a veteran and wife of a retired veteran- my son-in-law is currently serving. Thank you for sharing this. I’ve passed it on over Facebook- hopefully others will find your channel through that.
Thank you so much!
NF just connects with people in a whole different way than other artists.
We find NF when we need him. It is just the way it is. Yes, doing the NF Journey is cool because there is storyline that only becomes evident when you hear and see the videos in order. Still every song is dope. Just do you. We are here for it. Thank you for your sevice.
I appreciate your transparency. Thank you for your service; I’m heartbroken it has taken such a toll on you.
As I struggled with depression, this song spoke to me too. In the depths, I struggled with addiction and suicidal thoughts… NF’s song “How could you leave us” pulled me out of my own head and made me realize what my kids would experience if I left. Maybe not next, but sometime, when you’re ready.
Absolutely love this one. He just expresses what so many are feeling but can't put into words. He does it for them if they are willing to listen.
I'm the same brother. 2014 deployed, vfw vet post 6760. I haven't been the same since idk a switch changed going from the daily adrenaline rush it is so hard to just be home with no adrenaline going on. I found community service as my key to get my old self home. Much love ❤️
Nf will change your life
Thank you for you service, Sir!
This song means a lot to me. I lost my 30 year old daughter unexpectedly in 2020. I heard this song 2 weeks after she died. I was bawling, sobbing on the couch one day. I was crying out to God to take the pain away. I kept hearing this voice saying, "listen to music". I couldn't shake it, so I turned RUclips on and this song right here came up. I was shook! This song describes how I felt and still feel to this day. Great reaction. NF is excellent and a very special artist.
NF music has a way of bringing up bottled up anger, sadness, and self torment and putting it in your face making you deal with it then and there! We all have demons...some more than others and especially our troops over seas. I lost one of my best friends years ago in Iraq. Semper Fi Cpl Dustin Sides! Always missed! Never forgotten!
This song connects deeply to me as a person. I've suffered from emotional numbing for a majority of my life, fo the point where its become my normal. It took years, and only until I met my GF back in 8th grade that I saw a ray of light. I am now 21. I developed depression and emotional numbness in 5th grade and battled it for my entire life. This song hurts in such a close but relatable way.
This is one of the first songs I heard from NF when I got out, nit THE first but it hit hard. I was medically discharge due to injuries. I'll Keep On was the first song I heard and it came on the radio at a moment I was really struggling with the transition to civilian life. Almost two decades of my life and it was a truly a culture shock coming back. NF had just released Mansion album and I bought it for the song on the radio. I never related to the lyrics of songs like I did with NF. It actually helped me articulate the things I had bottled up.
Doing NF reactions is not something to just ‘phone in’. There is true meaning behind his songs. And if you choose to truly listen to it, you can be changed. Great video! Thank you for your service!
Thank you bro, another good one is called (NATE-NF)..... when I had to watch my 2 year old daughter at the time go through chemo twice, all I could feel was the waves keep come crashing over me and all I could do is watch. And Let them drowned me.
As a veteran, this one hit me hard too. Was the first NF song I heard, I’ve been a Fan ever since.
Lost In The Moment is a great follow up to this song.
Thank you for your service and transparency. Stay strong!
I'm Canadian but I will still thank you for your service sir.
This was very real and impactful reaction.
This song encompasses how our sould after trauma enters our life...its relatable to everyone. NF is all about real music, with emotion...no trash.
Peace brother.
Kids in foster care on average are slightly higher of the risk of ptsd. Which is quite a testament to how much ones childhood traumas can effect us for a lifetime. I have a similar childhood to nf and can relate to this song heavily as well. So many people live and suffer with this illnesses and some never even know it. Knowing its also only part of it, because a lot of the time asking for help and not relying solely on one else can be one of the hardest things to do.
I highly suggest I'll Keep On, on the Mansion album it is the very next song, and I 100% believe it was on purpose. The one after is Can You Hold Me Ft. Britt Nichole, a beautiful singer, Nate sings more in that song. All 3 are the last songs on the album and by far 3 of my favorite songs by NF.
You’re about to dive DEEP into the NF rabbit hole. You need to check out “you’re special”
I'll be checking out can you hold me, your special, and epiphany, I put a list of songs after these 3 I'll be checking out.
Thank you for that sacrifice brother. That is why music is so awesome and such an amazing thing, it can mean something different to everyone, but it helps just the same. You are sharing your emotions/feelings in this video. Keep your head up!
love the content . keep it up buddy
It applies to vets, but it hits everyone to various degrees. Best wishes brother, I know the struggle, but we are not the type to surrender
Never. Always forward 🔥
Thank you for this reaction.
You came back from your chores and just going through the motions a robot it changes you. Fantastic reaction thank you
Thank You for Your Service Brother!! I’m a Vet myself and can totally relate to coming back not the same person! This is a great song and definitely hits home
Thank you 🙏
I view how I've changed as I am actually waking up and seeing what the world can become. 2 tours to Baghdad, each time you notice more and more how society is BS.
I wish I could hug you and pray over you. Without God I could not live with the pain in my brain. I appreciate all the personal expense it cost you to keep me safe so that I can live and worship freely. Love ya brother.
💚💚💚 Much love to you. You are not alone.
That was a good song!!
Thank you
So sorry mate and thank you, yes, your stories help. You are a good man. Have been trying for support for many years. Most doctors see it as a physical issue, Am yet to receive help.
Brother thanks for your service!
I usually dont comment. But the way your eyes look. I can feel it!
We or I should i say, been there.
There are times your not yourself the way you used to be because of a cause. Thank you for the video.
I had random reach out to me one time when i was at my lowest and that gave me some strength. I dont even know them but they share their feelings with me and connected with me. I appreciate all of them
Seeing all of those that have responded to my videos has helped me in ways I just can’t describe.
Just Like You from the Clouds Mixtape is a wonderful song of belonging and is not part of “the journey” so you won’t miss anything.
My NF friend! Thank you brother for serving I’m also a vet, but wanted to share my thoughts on my journey with NF so maybe it’ll help you on yours. I found this song while laying in a hospital bed in Memphis after my wreck and being bedridden for a little over a year now, learning to walk again at 45 and your going to hear it again and again that NF finds everyone just when he’s supposed to, I believe that! But maybe the jury is still out with some people! But my point is it’s your journey and up to you to what you want to listen to and how you receive it, for me personally I wanted to hear every damn song well because I was bedridden and had the time but also because of the messages and medication it gave me on a daily basis brother. See you next time sir
Thank you so much for your service. You sir and all of you that have served are truly whom we should idolize.
Hey we all healing hey there and god bless . Keep on pushing and thankyou for your service. Please do all his songs x
Yo nice reaction and thank you for your service, greetings from germany.
I had an extremely traumatic and hard life growing up. And once I got out of high school I married thinking that the abuse would end finally and it actually only got worse. I have lived such a very traumatizing life that sleeping has became a thing of the past. My son was murdered on Feb. 25, 2016 at 10:52 p.m. on my arm’s and each time I close my eye’s to even try and sleep I relive each traumatic experience and most therapist/psychiatrist say you dream in black & white and I’ve never dreamt in black & white! I see every color! And what’s insane is when I do try and sleep I see my baby begging for me to please not let him die. I hear his last heartbeat all over again & I hear his last breath ALL OVER AGAIN! And it’s as if it’s stuck on repeat and I relive it over and over and I end up hyperventilating and having severe panic & anxiety attacks! I can’t go to stores anymore around crowds of people. I used to be so vivacious and full of life but through all of what I’ve went through I am no longer that girl that everyone loved and enjoyed being around. I used to enjoy having friends over but now I sit alone in my room within 4 walls with not a soul to talk to. No one calls me, text me, checks up on me or has even asked me how I’m doing since losing Corey the way that I did. I thought all of the sexual assaults and bearings changed me (and I’m not saying that it didn’t) but losing my son knowing every single bit of that night could’ve & SHOULD’VE been prevented and that my own ex is the reason my baby is gone and he feels nothing for what he did I believe is what hurts my heart the most! I feel soooo much guilt because he begged me to not let him die and I couldn’t save him. And then my bestfriend/oldest brother (he was 14yr older than I am) was brutally murdered September 18, 2023 at approx 10:46 a.m. and laid there waiting on help from that time till after 4:30 p.m. he had his neck broken in 2 places, his left jaw was broken in 2 places and he had a HUGE blunt force trauma attack to the back of his skull. So to say my precious brother suffered is an understatement! And he’d called me at 9:46 a.m. that morning and I cannot help but to think had I not missed his call could I have saved his life?? I replay that weekend before he passed like a movie over and over constantly like I’m trying to come up with scenarios on how I could’ve possibly prevented it from ever happening. My therapist says that I have got to stop placing the blame of his death and my firstborn only son’s death on myself because none of it was EVER my fault! But I still cannot help it! I do the same with all of the sexual abuse and physical abuse that I endured as well. I was only 4 when it all started but it’s like I relive it thinking that I can make my life easier somehow. Happier. But I can’t. The night my son passed in my arm’s the woman I was before he left this world left with him. I’m no longer that same person. I do not even recognize the person I see in the mirror anymore! I don’t know her. I am no longer even living I’m merely existing in a constant loop of what feels like a nightmare that I just cannot wake up from. I don’t have just PTSD I have CPTSD which is worse because it’s made up of several extremely traumatic experiences not one certain one. I have had 2 full psych breaks and 3 mental breakdowns. And a psych break is a lot worse than a mental breakdown. I am trained in reading people (I have a master’s in psychology) plus I’ve trained with some of the best of the best too. I am also highly trained in fighting/protection. Street fighting, boxing/kickboxing and 6 forms of martial arts. I used to have such self control and never allowed what would be considered a minor altercation to even phase me. Now I like for them to happen because it’s like I love the fighting of out the pain of it all to help heal what actual therapy cannot touch. Yess I’ve been diagnosed as having blind rage and intermittent explosive disorder along with bipolar disorder, BPD, severe manic episodes with very deep low episodes. I also have chronic anxiety and panic attacks as well. I struggle daily just to even live. I played this song for my psychiatrist and my therapist and both of them cried… it speaks every single aspect of my life though! It’s as if Nate was telling my story.
Me too Bubba, My first deployment to Faluja in 03 changed everything about me, honestly dont think that I ever truly got out of the sand box. I started getting back on track then I watched my best friend leave early then 3 years later I found my Wife gone too laying where I left her that morning. God damn Bubba wasnt expecting this.
Thank you for your Service. All of you who have been on any missions. I think nobody is really prepared for any kind of trauma and to struggle with. If it's from childhood, abuse, loose somebody, war, accident etc. You are not alone.
Watch Hi Ren from Ren. He is also phantastic.
Brother, NF will make you feel things. But his music is worth it
Absolutely it takes a great artist to interpret what's on his canvas.
Thanks for your service
Your story kind of reminds me of American sniper. It’s got to be rough man. God has plans for you. Your not abandoned
Dang that does hit hard like real hard.
May The Lord bless you and keep you. May his face shine upon you and give you peace. come all who are weary and i will give you rest. You will walk and not grow weary and you will have wings like eagles.

Jelly Roll also has some deep tracks dealing with substance abuse and depression
Whats up HEBRO? This version is fire. But after you hear this one and see this comment. Check out Atlus' cover of this. His voice will blow you away. Definitely not takin anything from NF. Its very very powerful. Definitely worth a listen. And oh, we love you too my Brother.
Atlus is really good I started listening to him after the first time I heard if I die tonight.
I liked hearing a little bit about your journey...
I am in a similar position and hearing you talk about this makes me wonder if those reasons you stated are the same for me. I am a Marine, and as of right now. I feel numb to just about everything. And I have for the last 4 years or so...any suggestions.
Additionally. Im not currently in a position where I can pay for help. But I've been telling myself that this numbness is normal and a part of maturing and growing up. But i know thats not true. But im not sure what to really do. Sorry for the rant and long comment. If you have any suggestions I'd love to know what they are
The best thing that has helped me is finding someone I could talk to about it
@@TormentedVet_Reactions understandable. I'm not sure that's an option for me at the moment. But I'll get by until then. Thanks for the reply!
Nate will do that to you! 😎
Just wanted to let ya know that I appreciate and love you for everything you've done for our country!❤❤ I'm 17 and been struggling with depression and suicidal thoughts for many years now. Totally understand what u mean by the song may not have been about the military, but they really are the same nnonetheless. Part of my depression was losing my father who served in the military when I was only 4 and having to grow up without him trying to be a man all on my own. I was too young to understand as I was only 4, but from what my mom has told me and my siblings, after he came home from war he died in his sleep due to his injuries right in our living room on the couch. He never was the same when he came back home and I used to cry blaming him for everything, but I realized as I got older that his mind was gone and it was not his fault for anything, he didn't plan to come home to his family a broken man and painfully a dead man. I miss him everyday and I see my dad in you sir, I love you more than ya know ❤ R.I.P. Miguel Mendoza, hope you are at ease, smiling and laughing now 😢 💔 🕊 🕊
You don’t have to do every song to do the journey properly . Here is an abbreviated list . Wake up, notepad , Intro 2, therapy session, how could you leave us, real , outro , intro 3, outcast, green lights, Destiny, let you down, for starters . Thanks for your heart though. Don’t take my words as criticism ok. I just want you to get the full enjoyment ok.
check out trauma by nf, think you would like it to
Tom McDonald-Sober
Love you Brother
Love you too brother!

Thanking you for your service is such a minimal expression. You so clearly articulated the real cost to war...so many heros returning with scars the public can't see. You said you want to be "normal" again and I hope you see many coming along side you, armed with some of the words from poets like NF to be able to not only express your trauma, but find community in helping one another...and like you said find joy in helping others! I pray for you and your family and the pain you feel and have caused before recognizing your PTSD, but also I pray for your new power as a man to help others repair their lives....to find normal whatever that looks like for each of you.
Thank you for placing and continuing to place your life ...your whole life, in danger for our freedom and safety of the world. Thank you for not letting me miss the continued pain you and your brothers and sister experience when I think "the war is over". May God bless you
Thank you so much for your kind words!
Thank you for your service
Brother, I'm not saying you need to react to every NF song, but you need to listen to them.
One vet to another, NF's music has helped me more than any person or other artist. Just listen...
Thank you Dustin for your service and raw emotion ❤ Hour audience is here for you brother ❤️🇺🇸 NF Hope
My step father was a marine for multiple deployments in Afghanistan. He was supposed to be in a helo that went down and killed everyone onboard. Last moment, plans changed and he was ordered to stay back. He's been processing survivor's guilt and went to a PTSD intensive in Texas. He is finally finding the tools to see the light at the end of the tunnel.
NF fans understand you better than you can imagine. His music kept me from suicide about 9 months ago. Some of these songs WILL break you. But, sometimes we need to break so we can open ourselves back up to feelings. I’m praying for you.
Hey man, just wanted to say thank you for the genuineness that you carry yourself with, and for sticking with these reactions of NF, great reaction, The next NF song I would suggest depends on what you are feeling up to hearing, for a not as deep but still a Real song and a more of a getting after it rap song, then I would suggest NF Intro, the first one, and for more of a Thought-provoking and deep song i would suggest NF Wake Up. Lastly, I hope you can find the feeling again, even if it won't be the same. Thanks for all the great vids! 👊
Before my deployment to Afghanistan I was the joy of the party. I brought smiles to everybody around me. Sometimes that person shines through still, but I feel there is a bully holding him down. I find it extremely hard to find in joy in things for any length of time. Your reaction to this song is very raw and hits very close to home man. I truly hope we all find that thing inside again.
I couldn't agree more.
I feel that. Veteran here as well. Just trying to spread light and love but it damn sure ain't easy 😢
NF Doesn't mess around, whatever he speaks about hits hard. That is what is beautiful about music, it can speak to each and every one of us and we can relate it to our own life. Great reaction and I thank you for your Candor. Also thanks for your service!
I recently connected with a vet, he was neighbors with lady I worked with, fixed her mower so she recommended him to help me get mine fixed, end up hanging out when picking it up, he breaks out with coke straight from Columbia, which this mf is missing an arm...we talked for hours, told me about the different people he killed and everything, told me only person ever told...bunch of stuff...which yo this guy with 1 damn arm and what he could accomplish and devices he made ... but yeah even tho wasn't me I carry that sh*t with me, along with others....idk why but since like 12 people just air everything out to me and doesn't leave, not to mention all the other sh*t personally been thru
I know that's real when you're able to connect to people like that you feel it deep in your stomach and chest, almost nauseating sometimes it takes a long time to deal with stuff like that.
For a year I listened to this song on loop while trying to sleep at night, praying the Lord God to take me. God was right. It is not good for a man to be alone..for 15 years I feel dead inside..
This is beautifully expressed , beautiful musicality , very moving . Anyone who served thir country deserve the time to regroup , come out of the deep place they find solace in . Thank all of you for the price you paid that we can’t comprehend .❤️🎶🎶🎶
Great reaction. I found NF before I joined the military but NF finds a way to write all his songs to relate to everyone in different ways. I think it would be great if you just went through all his songs one by one. Anyway have a great day man.
Aussie combat vet
My family cut me off because of how my time downrange has changed me,those who have never been there will never understand it🇦🇺🇺🇸
Thank you for your service and sacrifice. I will be praying for you. 💙
This is Therapy!! Music therapy is a thing and you are on that journey now, don't be afraid of showing emotions, the people watching these watch em to share the emotions, stay strong love all the way from tiny Denmark
‘Statement’ or ‘I miss the days’ next would be great
We’re here for you on YOUR NF journey man
I need a NF playlist, love the reactions keep em coming
I fully get you. I suffer with cptsd and this song hits on so many different levels. Have lived with it for 30+ years. The numbness inside is something I wouldn't wish on anyone. I just did what everyone said and that was man up, which isn't right. If you're struggling people need to understand it's ok not to be ok. I get what you say about you not being the same when you came back. I finally hit rock bottom and was so close to ending it all. I seeked help and now am on the road to recovery slowly. Anyway a message to all in that struggle just know it is ok to be not OK, it's ok to seek help. The help is there for you. Don't let it get the better of you. Much love to you all ❤️
Hey man thank you I love ur content keep it up and all love and support ❤
Thank you too!
thank you for sharing your story with us!
and for all the advice for all whom need it. You ride your wave the way you like it with your NF journey, we're all here for you and the order you get into it, doesn't matter as much as the journey itself. have a great day man, lots of love
Thank you so much!
Thank you for your service. This song also hits hard after being mentally and emotionally abused for 20+ years. I played this song on repeat before I finally picked myself up and left. I am so happy now but this song really hits
Much love to you, brother. Keep talking, keep sharing, just don't button up. Here for you right back. Also, AIRBORNE ALL THE WAY!
I hear you Brother. From one Veteran to another thank you so much for your Service👊 I am hearing you loud and clear. With your own testimony holy shit does that hit hard mate. Very similar to my own despite not going to Iraq.
Same as you I didn't know what the fuck was wrong with me. I just knew I was spiralling. An absolute fucking lunatic barely managing to hang on by my fingernails. For me it was 2016 where I was told the cause of everything. I went nuts at the psych for that.
Afterwards my counsellor taught me management and things got tolerable. Sometimes (if not often) even good or great. Why I got into helping Veterans and young men. Teaching them management. And like you, this song hits me like a shot to the nuts. Because it is so close to where I was and somewhat still am. I HEAR you Brother👊
First off...thank you for you service. "The war that followed me home" by convictions popped in my head when i read ur bio. Again, thank you
Thank you for your service. Thank you for sharing your story. I saw your pain as you listened to Paralyzed. Keep doing this. ❤
Trauma is Trauma is Trauma. Regardless of what that Trauma is. It does the same to the mind and body. So it makes sense you relate 😢. God bless. 3 deployments here and struggle still, however i am leaps and bounds of where i use to be. Thanks be to God 🙏🙏
My son goes to West Point and I’m very proud of him. But I hope he doesn’t have the experiences you did. Thank you for your service. GO ARMY
You felt this song so that's the first step to recovery. Much respect
Liked what you had to say about this song and it's message. My baggage is very different than yours but the emptiness of not feeling is horrific regardless of how you ended up that way. Keep going brother, I hear what you are saying.
JUST LIKE YOU and LIKE THIS are both great songs for your channel and for you.
Love the reaction, nfs albums are his life’s story dealing with mental health and you literally see him grow and overcome over the years through his albums, I highly recommend listening to his albums in order
Please do the journey. It will be so therapeutic for you. Thank you for your transparency.
the one thing that nf does for a lot of people is let them know they are not alone. and you brother are not alone i cant even bein to imagine what you have to deal with from you time in the military but after seeing my dad become a drunk after vietnam and my brother becoming addicted to drugs just to numb the things he not only witnessed but had to do. but the worst for my brother was his survivors guilt. i used to feel this way but over the years ive had people in my corner who taught me that who i am is enough. and i also understand about the dreams. i would have graphic nightmares as a child due to some of the things i went thru and when i say graphic i mean blood torture among others things. just remeber you are never alone
What is normality it is nothing more than a concept of what you think you should be but it’s not who you are it’s non existent like time and immortality and no matter what you do you won’t be able to reach it so just be you not what others think you should be
“This is me” ahhh if I had a nickel for every NF song I said that about. Hate myself is a song I literally feel every single time I hear it
I have a lot of respect for people who serve in the military. Thank you for your service.
Amazing artist and summed up depression for me perfectly
