When he talks about physical abuse I can fully relate. I'm 40 now and let me tell you I have major PTSD due to the abuse I got as a kid. At 7 yrs old, while most kids got spanked with hands or a sandal, I got the vacuum cable or hose. I've been beaten up by uncles and even my grandpa at a young age, i was able to control this pain for so long...but since covid I have been on a rollercoaster ride dealing with these demons and suicide thoughts. Imagine 40 yrs of pain and suffering.
Oh man, I'm so sorry to hear that Josh. That sounds awful, I hope you know that you are strong and deserving of anything other than what you experienced. If you have friends outside of your family ecosystem, I'd recommend talking to them, if not, I'll be here for you. PLEASE do not feel that you aren't worthy enough of living. The experiences have so much pain attached them but understand you have a purpose. This covid thing has fucked the world up and you're right, the lonliness, the restrictions, the riots, you name it but you will overcome it. My girlfriend went through a traumatic experience at an early age of her life and it manifested in so many different ways until she confronted her issues head on, a year or two after dating I told her to lock herself in a room write down everything that happened to her in notepad, read it, understand it and burn it. There were tears, I've never seen anyone cry so much, there was pain but it was a release. I'm not saying you have to do the same but if you need anyone to talk to, I'm here bro. You were super brave to share that 🙏🙏🙏
I hear your pain, I am in my 40s...the first 18 years of my life I was abused, physically, emotionally and sexually........at 9 years old I was going to hang myself but a neighbor stopped me.......my mother left me for my abuser and my father allowed his GF to abuse me...... it took me years to forgive my mother, but my father, I haven't done that!!! the emotion abuse left me critical of myself and I sabotaged my own happiness, the physical abuse has scarred me for life, so every time I see them, I remember how I got them, the sexual abuse left me feeling like I was only on this earth to pleasure men, that I was not dating material.....It took me forever to trust anyone........
@@lizsmith1796 wow! Liz, im so sorry. I really understand how you feel and can't seem to get out of it, i feel sometimes im almost out, but I fall back in hard. I wish I had control of it, but after 40 i feel exhausted and wonder whats the point.
I stole this comment from another reaction page, but here is someone else's recommended viewing guide to the NF Journey: Welcome to the NF Journey. The Journey starts in Mansion: Intro Mansion All I have Wake Up Note Pad Paralyzed Therapy Session Intro II Therapy Session I just Want to Know How Could You Leave Us ( Bring Tissues) REAL Oh Lord Grinding All I do Warm Up (Single) Perception: Outro Intro III Outcast 10 Feet Down Green Lights Let You Down My Life If You Want Love Remember This Know 3 A.M. One Hundred No Name(Single) The Search: Why The Search Leave Me Alone Change Nate My Stress Time Returns When I Grow Up Only Let Me Go I Miss The Days No Excuses Options Trauma Make sure you’re seatbelt is securely fastened, raise your hands and enjoy the ride.
This is great, although I recommend after outro in perception and before intro 3 you listen to this song mansion again before doing your reaction to intro 3. You'll love intro 3 if you like this song
The people in the NF army are chill and personally I feel like you should pause as often as necessary As long as you rewind back a few seconds or so Edit: A really good way to go through the NF journey is to go to his RUclips channel and sort by date added and go from bottom to top
Everything he sings about he's experienced. He's remarkably vulnerable with his music and people connect to him because he's so open. He's also a really private person. If you get more into his music you'll understand more. Great reaction. He personifies all his emotions because that's how he see's them. He's open about his mental health issues. His mom's boyfriend beat Nate so badly she lost custody so that's why he has abandonment issues. This guy was also referenced in "Nate" and "Intro 3". He had a breakdown between Perception and Search.
This is the second video I see from you, the first was the reaction to no name. You have already become one of my favorite reactors! Actually the song before this is Intro 1,but don't worry as it's not important to the story. It's just a question of the video, because some of the things that are in that video you will see later. But we can tell you,as I said it is nothing of importance to the story. This song is the basis of the whole journey During the journey you will see him improve a lot and find his sound completely Remember this song for when you hear Intro 3, especially the third verse and the line "Is that me or the fear talking? I don't know anymore" (You will really hear Fear speak) His mom's boyfriend (One of her boyfriends,Nate said his mom had a lot of weird boyfriends) physically abused him when he was a child. In an old interview Nate talked about it a little and said it was verbal and physical abuse.This person scared him and then beat him.He didn't want to go into too much detail but one thing he said he did was make him sit in a chair for 15 minutes before taking him downstairs and beating him because he wanted to see him scared,so every time he sat down he knew what was coming after fifteen minutes This is the interview where he talked about it ruclips.net/video/es9blBGJcLc/видео.html His mom was addicted to drugs and died from an overdose when he was 18. He talks about it in How could you leave us (get ready to cry) Nate personifies his emotions in other songs as well, and in a couple of songs he personifies fame as well Actually some of the songs of the journey have nothing to do with the story, but it's nice to see all its growth The next song is All i Have! Also, these days Nate has done something and I love to let people know what he did, just to make you understand what kind of person he is and what relationship he has with his fans: A while ago Nate posted a snippet of a song and then deleted it (bad person). In early October he posted another clip of a song (which you can still find on his instagram) and wrote "This is one of those songs that may never see the light of day but I thought had a cool feel to it " Fans showed so much support and kept telling him to make it happen, but nothing was known yet. Shortly after a 15-year-old fan (Mykaila sippel) covered these two Nate snippets and with the support of the fanbase, the video also reached Nate. Mykaila cover inspired Nate to finish the song. He contacted her and used her audio. So he practically did a song with a fan of his (it's not really a song but a demo) If you go to her instagram you will find the cover and her thanks. The song is called Chasing. I just thought you might like to know! I can't wait for the next reaction man!
If y’all want Altapace to do a vid about remember this-NF like this comment so he can se it, NF changed my life the way I think the way I feel with his songs
NF's music is more connected then any other artist I have heard. You mention the personification of Fear in this song and in a later song (Intro 3), he has a conversation with this personified fear to try and sort some of these issues out. He also has other visual symbols in his later music videos to show how he pushed the inner thoughts he has out in to the world and has to push, carry or wear them. A painted or fake smile, Balloons of his fear and doubts he carries with him all the time, the "Real" merch that describes his music and honesty he has in what he makes.
@@AltSpace exactly.. ppl be like oh he's talking to the demon who he sold his soul to bla bla bla when the demonic voice is the pills talking back to "Shady"
NF pulled me through some of my hardest moments in life. I've found the motivation to live through having someone to talk to even if I can't actually talk to them. I feel like I wouldn't be alive if I didn't find him right now. I didn't really like rap before I found him because all I saw were these stupid songs repeating gucci gang. Throughout all of his songs, he's never cursed or anything. He's just that pure. Wait till you get to "how could you leave us," that song is pure sadness. The NF army is here, all you gotta do is walk with us now. NF REAL MUSIC❤️
Now if you remember how you felt when NF's music touched you and helped you, imagine 100x more than that... that's Jesus Christ. He is the reason NF is able to reach so many with his music. He listens, he speaks (in a sense, not actual audible voice), and he carries us through our hardest moments - if we ask him to. Best decision I ever made was to give my life to Christ. My depression and anxiety are wiped away each day as I pray and read my Bible. It's amazing... it's hard to explain. Praying you know him someday!! God bless.
Absolutely love the reaction and breakdown! I wasn’t really a rap person but NF is my favorite artist, hands down. There’s so much that has happened to Nate and you learn it all through his songs. Every song is amazing! Subbing to watch you go on this journey🖤😊
This man was almost at 5k when I made. I love watching artists so I clicked on it 5 months after he put it out and he has over 12k subscribers NF army is strong
NF is my favorite person in the whole world cause im a teenager and I go some hard times and his music helps me a lot. His music stop me from ending it. He is an amazing rapper
It gets deeper from the messages to the mastery of the art. There’s no ONE like this. Good luck in the journey. Also let me encourage you to produce content. No excuses. Find your lane until you find another. I appreciate your thoughtfulness.
Either no-one catches the regret room bar or its so simple they just don't address it. "the moment i walk into it its the same moment that i wanna leave" only just figured it out myself but damn no one??
I've reacted to so many reactors reacting to NF that they needed to stop more than once just so they can understand his lyrics. NF is the only artist that somehow tells a story about the life of someone else because he knows what it feels like to go through pain.
This song is such an important set up and part to all four albums of his. Not even just as the concept of his mind as a mansion but even in the sense that his emotions are real as if they’re human. It’s a center to all of his music.
No one is ever ready for The Journey. Your mind is about to be blown. Your emotions are going to be put through a wringer. When I started The Journey, it was without a doubt the darkest and most beautiful lyrical trip I've ever took.
On No Name he personified fame. Fame called and he hung up on him. NF loves to make his emotions people. That’s likely why I love him so much. It’s so dope
I found your channel because NF is my favorite artist. I love watching people listen to his songs the first time. Thankyou so much for making this video. I absolutely loved hearing your interpretation of his song. I'm glad you were able to look at his songs deeper. You have an amazing personality, and really appreciate your vid. Cant wait to see more of your reviews of his songs!
Thank you so much for watching and for your kind comments! It's comments like this that honestly make my day and give me more motivation to make better videos 🙏🙏🙏
I watched your 1st Assessment of nf And before you watched it you had a certain Arrogance of watch this video of you watching in F and I watch you change which was more amazing to me Than I was imagined. And nearly 59 years old don't do rap haven't cared much for rap in years but my son does any introduced me to nf little more than a month ago Because of the depth and the language and my desire to if my son would use the things he's been taught to make choices I listened To NF with him. And I have been thoroughly impressed.
Brother you just need to take the complete NF Journey!! All the songs and albums connect together it’s absolutely Brilliant. There is not a bad song either! It will all make sense once you connect all the dots together. His music has touched people in such a natural way. His fan base is the most loyal on the planet. Take the whole journey.
I have been a huge fan of nf for a while now. People have been sleepin on this artist. He is so complex and he never cusses. He gets his point across. I love how you reacted to this. The thought you put into your words to describe nf is perfect. You should react to more of his songs. You gained a sub from me.
Im so excited! Its clear that this is a man that has the intelligence and mindset that allows him to truly understand the art and skill that NF puts into his music. I know im not the only fan that searches daily for someone who is just discovering his music and can really grasp the meaning behind the songs!
Hope you keep going through his stuff, I like the way your focussing on the story and personifying fear and emotions cos that’s a big part in his music so looking forward to you exploring that more in future videos
Awesome reaction man. I can’t express enough how significant this song is. To understand many of his future songs you have to remember what he talk about in this one! It’s kinda like a foundation for his music.
The journey begins my friend. There are so many amazing songs ahead. The NF army loves watching how people change with his lyrics. Some songs touch people in so many different ways. Blessings brother and enjoy.
Bro NF’s music gives me chills to begin with. But listening to you break it down and react to it the same way I have and live it is really awesome. Really enjoyed this man. Welcome to the NF journey. I’ll be back for the rest of it!
I have been a fan of nf since I heard How Could You Leave US, I think in 2016. He is definitely a rarity and his fans embrace him for it. I am lookin forward to vicariously going through this journey through you!
Whats up man, you earnes yourself another subscriber. Now the topic about NF, he's a Christian rapper that raps about what goes on in his life. He has tons of great songs so it's hard to recommend ones, I would recommend intro 3 and paid my dues. Invisible which is about his father, and how could you leave us which is about losing his mother to a OD But anyway keep up the great work
I relate to this so much. mansion and intro 3 are connected but thats in his album perception. also you gained a subscriber. i love watching ppl react to NF.
So excited to see you take the journey, man. Your perspective on NF's music is so well articulated and incredibly observant! I've been an Outcast (NF fan) for years and I really appreciate the way you're picking up on small details that I've missed along the way. Keep it up, dude!
Easy to can tell that you got full marks in English literature by how well u analyse things. But this is by far the best reaction channel especially for people and songs because you don’t just sit and watch the video you actually speak about it and think about it which is honestly amazing
Damn dude. You are such a smart guy. It's such a complex analogy and it's only gettin' more and more complex with every track. It's great to see you reacting to it and reading the massages behind this images he's painting. Keep it on. It's a long journey but it's worth it.
I really relate to this song...I'm physically and mentally abused and believe me when I say my mind is a mansion. Each room a dark memory that drags me back down to my depression. I really like NF because he's real and I relate to his music.
First, Welcome aboard the NF Journey Express. Not gonna lie, IT WILL BE A BUMPY RIDE, but its guaranteed to change you in one way or another. Nathan is, by far, my favorite artist out there. His music has reached out and helped so many people, myself included, and given a message of hope. There is no "One Way" to siphon through all of Nathan's music, and I'm sure that you'll find your way!
always subscribe to reactors taking the journey and love watching their channel grow from die hard nf fans enjoying people seeing it for the first time and tome again
You will hear him refer to Johnny on one of the other songs he was his stepfather who physically abused him. also" How could you leave us" explains some of his background but really all of his songs speaks as to what he has been through in life, I believe that is why so many of his fans connect on a personal level with him, I know for me it is and I'm 50.
@@AltSpace intro 3 gives such an insight onto his previous albums but try notepad as it is apart of the Mansion album. How Coud You Leave Us (therapy session album) will give you an insight into his past without having to read a biography. Excited for which ever song you pick next. :))
Ay man I’m apart of the NF army but I’m loving the content u put out. Honestly I wanna see reactions to other things on top of NF and the journey your on. Underrated RUclipsr
You skipped Intro! It's part of The Journey! Fear plays a major role in the Journey of nf. He comes back again... His mom's boyfriend used to physically abuse him. There will be more about him to come in the journey. NF is an amazing artist. His songs intertwine to paint a picture for you. We call this The NF Journey. Put on your seatbelt if you're brave enough to take the ride. From @struglas on RUclips; “The Journey” is a real thing and once on it you cannot really stop. By the end you develop an intense respect and love for what NF makes. But if I close my eyes I see NF leading us along the path by the wrist. Occasionally, it’s almost too much to handle. You want to stop... NF keeps pulling. As you try to get up you stumble... NF keeps pulling. Without shoes and through the worn-out knees of your jeans you notice the scrapes. On the tops of your feet and the caps of your knees. Painful. It’s from the ground. The sea of mud NF has had to trudge through to get where he resides today has become sun-dried and cracked. When you stop to take a breather... NF keeps pulling. If he stops, he’ll quit growing. Never one of the “Options”... You willingly began this journey, so you “Search” for your feet, ignore the dust and blood and stay committed to the path. “Why”? Because you know the pain he’s pulling you through will be worth the next banger you’re about to hear. That’s the pay off. That’s the intense respect. That’s the love. It “Only” takes “Time”... ***NOTE*** Always watch NF videos until the very end, or you may miss something!

I just found your channel and I really like your vibe. You actually listen to the lyrics and pick them apart in an empathetic way, and I am absolutely here for it! You just earned yourself a subscriber😋
I still see ppl call NF "trash" and now his lines in no name and outcast makes sense.. yeah he's not the most crazy lyrically rapper out there.. but he's the easiest to listen to.. his music sound is very well n uniquely produced n what sets him apart from the more hype sounding rappers like kendrick big sean etc etc he's a reflective rapper w real talk
He's definitely got something that kendrick, Big Sean etc don't have. I think he has a lot of heart. But I wouldn't call the other dudes hype rappers, Kendrick's to pimp a butterfly is a classic, one of the best modern hip hop albums in recent times. Big Sean's detroit 2 was decent but I only listen for the bars.
I just came from your reaction to No Name. It makes me happy to see that you are actually going on the NF Journey like you said that you would! Love the channel❤️
Everything NF says in his music is true. Everything he says that his gone through is true. NF raps about his life. And trust me he has gone through a lot.
Your one of the best thourough reaction channels I e ever watched you look much deeper than a beat and bars you see where someone is coming from good job my man
If you ever get to his new stuff, you should listen three of his songs in a row with “Why” ---> “The Search” ---> “Leave Me Alone”. These three songs are like a series, they tell a story.
BY FAR, the best breakdown of this song that I’ve heard by a reactor. And I’ve watched pretty much everyone on this platform. Gained a Sub and a fan! Great Vid.
wow I am amazed with your reaction you highlighted aspects of this song that I have not seen any other reactor touch and even had me see the song in a completely different way from how I first interpreted it now i honestly cant wait till you reach intro 3 because it basically concludes the clash between NF and his fear in an insane way
its all about inside his head. so second verse where you were saying that you werent sure wether it was his head or a real room, hes actually on about inside his head. it could be a real room from his past aswell. But each memory or set of memories has their own room in the mansion that is our minds. everyone revisits memories good and bad and when he goes back to the bad memories, he wants to lock the room, paint over the walls and get out the room. he doesnt want to revisit those memories but they are going to be there till the day he dies
He refers to his emotions as people in his head telling him things that he wants to go away but can't escape them. He wants them gone and out of his head
You should check out his new song called Chasing. He originally wasn't going to release it as part of his album and just released a bit of it on twitter until a fan made a cover of it and he DM'd her and finished the song.
Very impressive and thoughtful reaction. NF, Nate doesn't sing about something he hasn't experienced. It was his step-father who beat Nate so badly. His Mom's drug use put her out of it enough that she didn't notice that Nate and one or both of his sisters were being abused. She lost custody and was raised by his Dad and Grandparents. He mentions this guy is "Nate" on his search album and the guy Johnny is Intro 3 in the Perception Album. The Search album is my favorite album of all times. No shade, my favorite. Good luck on your Journey.
Bro i just found you the other night when you reacted to NF the 1st time. And im so happy to see another reaction. I love the way you hear all the points hes making. A lot of people don't catch em. Good stuff. Sub'd!
I love these video's, the way you think about and explain your thoughts on the lyrics are so amazing. I see things completely different, but you inspire me to think deeper about the lyrics. Keep it up
i think the the ADD line was for the sake of bars in NO NAME, but what do i know? also, im, like, 80% sure OCD is just something your born with, but yeah your right on other counts. on top of that, he frequently brings up his struggles with depression and various anxieties. poor dude got a lot of shit he's dealin' with
When he talks about physical abuse I can fully relate. I'm 40 now and let me tell you I have major PTSD due to the abuse I got as a kid. At 7 yrs old, while most kids got spanked with hands or a sandal, I got the vacuum cable or hose. I've been beaten up by uncles and even my grandpa at a young age, i was able to control this pain for so long...but since covid I have been on a rollercoaster ride dealing with these demons and suicide thoughts. Imagine 40 yrs of pain and suffering.
Oh man, I'm so sorry to hear that Josh. That sounds awful, I hope you know that you are strong and deserving of anything other than what you experienced. If you have friends outside of your family ecosystem, I'd recommend talking to them, if not, I'll be here for you. PLEASE do not feel that you aren't worthy enough of living. The experiences have so much pain attached them but understand you have a purpose. This covid thing has fucked the world up and you're right, the lonliness, the restrictions, the riots, you name it but you will overcome it. My girlfriend went through a traumatic experience at an early age of her life and it manifested in so many different ways until she confronted her issues head on, a year or two after dating I told her to lock herself in a room write down everything that happened to her in notepad, read it, understand it and burn it. There were tears, I've never seen anyone cry so much, there was pain but it was a release. I'm not saying you have to do the same but if you need anyone to talk to, I'm here bro.

YOU'RE AN ACTUAL OG! 👊👊👊
This is great, although I recommend after outro in perception and before intro 3 you listen to this song mansion again before doing your reaction to intro 3. You'll love intro 3 if you like this song
Don't forget the tissue phrase
When I saw the bring tissues part i was like, yes bring lots
Please go in this order.
You should definitely try to listen to all of the "Intros" Intro III by far is a showcase of lyrical greatness.
Intro 3 is hardcore. How he shows his convo with Fear is just amazing. Easily One of the best rappers there is
What i love about intro 3 is that he refers back to parts of his other songs
The people in the NF army are chill and personally I feel like you should pause as often as necessary As long as you rewind back a few seconds or so
Edit: A really good way to go through the NF journey is to go to his RUclips channel and sort by date added and go from bottom to top
Yes it works well too, pretty much like the journey list, but nothing is missing xD
Great idea! Are his features with Flame and Futuristic, and the songs from the UFC 2 soundtrack posted on his channel, though? I've never looked.
couldnt agree more...
Boreal music fans are in the building
Everything he sings about he's experienced. He's remarkably vulnerable with his music and people connect to him because he's so open. He's also a really private person. If you get more into his music you'll understand more. Great reaction. He personifies all his emotions because that's how he see's them. He's open about his mental health issues. His mom's boyfriend beat Nate so badly she lost custody so that's why he has abandonment issues. This guy was also referenced in "Nate" and "Intro 3". He had a breakdown between Perception and Search.
This is the second video I see from you, the first was the reaction to no name. You have already become one of my favorite reactors!
Actually the song before this is Intro 1,but don't worry as it's not important to the story. It's just a question of the video, because some of the things that are in that video you will see later. But we can tell you,as I said it is nothing of importance to the story. This song is the basis of the whole journey
During the journey you will see him improve a lot and find his sound completely
Remember this song for when you hear Intro 3, especially the third verse and the line "Is that me or the fear talking? I don't know anymore"
(You will really hear Fear speak)
His mom's boyfriend (One of her boyfriends,Nate said his mom had a lot of weird boyfriends) physically abused him when he was a child. In an old interview Nate talked about it a little and said it was verbal and physical abuse.This person scared him and then beat him.He didn't want to go into too much detail but one thing he said he did was make him sit in a chair for 15 minutes before taking him downstairs and beating him because he wanted to see him scared,so every time he sat down he knew what was coming after fifteen minutes
This is the interview where he talked about it
ruclips.net/video/es9blBGJcLc/видео.html
His mom was addicted to drugs and died from an overdose when he was 18. He talks about it in How could you leave us (get ready to cry)
Nate personifies his emotions in other songs as well, and in a couple of songs he personifies fame as well
Actually some of the songs of the journey have nothing to do with the story, but it's nice to see all its growth
The next song is All i Have!
Also, these days Nate has done something and I love to let people know what he did, just to make you understand what kind of person he is and what relationship he has with his fans:
A while ago Nate posted a snippet of a song and then deleted it (bad person). In early October he posted another clip of a song (which you can still find on his instagram) and wrote "This is one of those songs that may never see the light of day but I thought had a cool feel to it "
Fans showed so much support and kept telling him to make it happen, but nothing was known yet. Shortly after a 15-year-old fan (Mykaila sippel) covered these two Nate snippets and with the support of the fanbase, the video also reached Nate. Mykaila cover inspired Nate to finish the song. He contacted her and used her audio. So he practically did a song with a fan of his (it's not really a song but a demo) If you go to her instagram you will find the cover and her thanks. The song is called Chasing. I just thought you might like to know!
I can't wait for the next reaction man!
Damn that's deep
I was hoping someone explained all of this! Otherwise I was going to haha, you hit it right on the nose
@@greenshoes1053 yup i wanted to explain it but she did wayy better than i could've ever explained it to anyone
If y’all want Altapace to do a vid about remember this-NF like this comment so he can se it, NF changed my life the way I think the way I feel with his songs
I liked this comment ❤️
Exactly like this man is such a good person he helps us get through the pain we have because he can relate
Yas he needs to do that song.... i cey everytime i put it ip
@@Idkidkidk.3rror cry* up*
Stick to doing it in order. You'll get to that song.
NF's music is more connected then any other artist I have heard. You mention the personification of Fear in this song and in a later song (Intro 3), he has a conversation with this personified fear to try and sort some of these issues out. He also has other visual symbols in his later music videos to show how he pushed the inner thoughts he has out in to the world and has to push, carry or wear them. A painted or fake smile, Balloons of his fear and doubts he carries with him all the time, the "Real" merch that describes his music and honesty he has in what he makes.
Intro 3 is kinda like my darling by eminem.. eminem battl3s with his addiction tho many concpiracy theorists like to say its the "devil" 😅😅 its not
Lool, on some illuminati shit 😅
@@AltSpace exactly.. ppl be like oh he's talking to the demon who he sold his soul to bla bla bla when the demonic voice is the pills talking back to "Shady"
@@emyf9197 as an Eminem fan I can't say I really like 'my darling' but you sure have a good point
NF pulled me through some of my hardest moments in life. I've found the motivation to live through having someone to talk to even if I can't actually talk to them. I feel like I wouldn't be alive if I didn't find him right now. I didn't really like rap before I found him because all I saw were these stupid songs repeating gucci gang. Throughout all of his songs, he's never cursed or anything. He's just that pure. Wait till you get to "how could you leave us," that song is pure sadness. The NF army is here, all you gotta do is walk with us now. NF REAL MUSIC❤️
It's crazy how powerful music can be, Linkin Park got me through crap times, but NF would've been great through those times 🙏
Now if you remember how you felt when NF's music touched you and helped you, imagine 100x more than that... that's Jesus Christ. He is the reason NF is able to reach so many with his music. He listens, he speaks (in a sense, not actual audible voice), and he carries us through our hardest moments - if we ask him to.
Best decision I ever made was to give my life to Christ. My depression and anxiety are wiped away each day as I pray and read my Bible. It's amazing... it's hard to explain. Praying you know him someday!! God bless.
I love how he says “Real” and he doesn’t realize he is diving into Real Music 🎶
Absolutely love the reaction and breakdown! I wasn’t really a rap person but NF is my favorite artist, hands down. There’s so much that has happened to Nate and you learn it all through his songs. Every song is amazing! Subbing to watch you go on this journey🖤😊
Thank you so much for tuning in and for your kind words, I really appreciate it 🙏
This man was almost at 5k when I made. I love watching artists so I clicked on it 5 months after he put it out and he has over 12k subscribers NF army is strong
NF is my favorite person in the whole world cause im a teenager and I go some hard times and his music helps me a lot. His music stop me from ending it. He is an amazing rapper
It gets deeper from the messages to the mastery of the art. There’s no ONE like this. Good luck in the journey. Also let me encourage you to produce content. No excuses. Find your lane until you find another. I appreciate your thoughtfulness.
Thank you brother, I have a lot planned for this channel, I don't want it to be just another "reaction channel"
I have been listening to NF since day 1, his best songs are Real, The Search, Mansion, When I Grow Up, Leave me alone and Paid my Dues
And also remeber me
And itro 1,2,and 3
And outro
And time
And basically all of his song
He was abused by his mothers boyfriend
Wait how do you know? I don’t think I heard him say it in the song?? Am I missing something?
This guys analysis of these songs are on point no one else analyses NF's music as well
You should check out Knox hill he analyzes everything greatly, he almost never misses anything in any song
Either no-one catches the regret room bar or its so simple they just don't address it. "the moment i walk into it its the same moment that i wanna leave" only just figured it out myself but damn no one??
So grateful for Nate putting his heart ❤️ out there, that’s why we fan’s love ❤️ him! You did a wonderful breakdown, thank you!
I've reacted to so many reactors reacting to NF that they needed to stop more than once just so they can understand his lyrics. NF is the only artist that somehow tells a story about the life of someone else because he knows what it feels like to go through pain.
This song is such an important set up and part to all four albums of his. Not even just as the concept of his mind as a mansion but even in the sense that his emotions are real as if they’re human. It’s a center to all of his music.
No one is ever ready for The Journey. Your mind is about to be blown. Your emotions are going to be put through a wringer. When I started The Journey, it was without a doubt the darkest and most beautiful lyrical trip I've ever took.
Man your the perfect guy reacting to NF's music because of your analysis and that you understand and can go deep too.
Keep the hustle
Thank, I appreciate your comment! 🔥🔥🔥
On No Name he personified fame. Fame called and he hung up on him. NF loves to make his emotions people. That’s likely why I love him so much. It’s so dope
I found your channel because NF is my favorite artist. I love watching people listen to his songs the first time. Thankyou so much for making this video. I absolutely loved hearing your interpretation of his song. I'm glad you were able to look at his songs deeper. You have an amazing personality, and really appreciate your vid. Cant wait to see more of your reviews of his songs!
Thank you so much for watching and for your kind comments! It's comments like this that honestly make my day and give me more motivation to make better videos 🙏🙏🙏
I watched your 1st Assessment of nf And before you watched it you had a certain Arrogance of watch this video of you watching in F and I watch you change which was more amazing to me Than I was imagined. And nearly 59 years old don't do rap haven't cared much for rap in years but my son does any introduced me to nf little more than a month ago Because of the depth and the language and my desire to if my son would use the things he's been taught to make choices I listened To NF with him. And I have been thoroughly impressed.
"How Could You Leave Us" describes his relationship with his mom. It's very emotional
Recommend going back and listening to Intro 3. It has a lot of connections to Mansion.
Intro 3 comes later in and it’s actually the battle between fear and him but at this point in the story he hasn’t kicked him out
@@santiagopeniche4689 that's true. But the song does have connections to Mansion so it's cool to listen to them back to back.
Not a 100% sure but I feel like the video for Intro 2 is acting out the lyrics and story of Intro 3
but also Therapy session
@@ap3shhh I can see that, yeah
Brother you just need to take the complete NF Journey!! All the songs and albums connect together it’s absolutely Brilliant. There is not a bad song either! It will all make sense once you connect all the dots together. His music has touched people in such a natural way. His fan base is the most loyal on the planet. Take the whole journey.
I have been a huge fan of nf for a while now. People have been sleepin on this artist. He is so complex and he never cusses. He gets his point across. I love how you reacted to this. The thought you put into your words to describe nf is perfect. You should react to more of his songs. You gained a sub from me.
Im so excited! Its clear that this is a man that has the intelligence and mindset that allows him to truly understand the art and skill that NF puts into his music. I know im not the only fan that searches daily for someone who is just discovering his music and can really grasp the meaning behind the songs!
NF is literally legendary
nate has literally helped me so much.. hes probably tge reason im here now. a true idol
Hope you keep going through his stuff, I like the way your focussing on the story and personifying fear and emotions cos that’s a big part in his music so looking forward to you exploring that more in future videos
I’m here for the NF journey, love watching people discover his amazing music.
Awesome reaction man. I can’t express enough how significant this song is. To understand many of his future songs you have to remember what he talk about in this one! It’s kinda like a foundation for his music.
🔥🔥🔥 reaction, NF real music,, can't wait to watch the NF journey...
The journey begins my friend. There are so many amazing songs ahead. The NF army loves watching how people change with his lyrics. Some songs touch people in so many different ways. Blessings brother and enjoy.
You should listen to “therapy session”, the whole search album, and “remember this”.
Bro NF’s music gives me chills to begin with. But listening to you break it down and react to it the same way I have and live it is really awesome. Really enjoyed this man. Welcome to the NF journey. I’ll be back for the rest of it!
Here for the NF journey. You are about uncover the most impactful music artist of this generation.
Coming from someone who loves nf with a burning passion I'm excited for you :D
I have been a fan of nf since I heard How Could You Leave US, I think in 2016. He is definitely a rarity and his fans embrace him for it. I am lookin forward to vicariously going through this journey through you!
Whats up man, you earnes yourself another subscriber. Now the topic about NF, he's a Christian rapper that raps about what goes on in his life. He has tons of great songs so it's hard to recommend ones, I would recommend intro 3 and paid my dues. Invisible which is about his father, and how could you leave us which is about losing his mother to a OD
But anyway keep up the great work
Thanks dude, I appreciate you tuning in, he definitely has raw talent 🙏
No hes a christian who happens to rap not a christian rapper
I relate to this so much.
mansion and intro 3 are connected but thats in his album perception. also you gained a subscriber. i love watching ppl react to NF.
So excited to see you take the journey, man. Your perspective on NF's music is so well articulated and incredibly observant! I've been an Outcast (NF fan) for years and I really appreciate the way you're picking up on small details that I've missed along the way. Keep it up, dude!
Easy to can tell that you got full marks in English literature by how well u analyse things. But this is by far the best reaction channel especially for people and songs because you don’t just sit and watch the video you actually speak about it and think about it which is honestly amazing
Damn dude. You are such a smart guy. It's such a complex analogy and it's only gettin' more and more complex with every track. It's great to see you reacting to it and reading the massages behind this images he's painting. Keep it on. It's a long journey but it's worth it.
I really relate to this song...I'm physically and mentally abused and believe me when I say my mind is a mansion. Each room a dark memory that drags me back down to my depression. I really like NF because he's real and I relate to his music.
First, Welcome aboard the NF Journey Express. Not gonna lie, IT WILL BE A BUMPY RIDE, but its guaranteed to change you in one way or another.
Nathan is, by far, my favorite artist out there. His music has reached out and helped so many people, myself included, and given a message of hope. There is no "One Way" to siphon through all of Nathan's music, and I'm sure that you'll find your way!
Welcome to the NF Journey, when you strart you never stop listening. Keep it up 🖤 i feel like were all connect trough NF, love that.
Best NF reactions I've seen, hands down, and I've seen a lot of them.
always subscribe to reactors taking the journey and love watching their channel grow from die hard nf fans enjoying people seeing it for the first time and tome again
You will hear him refer to Johnny on one of the other songs he was his stepfather who physically abused him. also" How could you leave us" explains some of his background but really all of his songs speaks as to what he has been through in life, I believe that is why so many of his fans connect on a personal level with him, I know for me it is and I'm 50.
Ever since I saw your NO NAME reaction, you became my favourite reactor!
That's so dope! Im least I'm someone's favourite haha
@@AltSpace the way you break down his lyrics and actually listen to his bars and explain your perspective. Not alot of reactors do that :))
Really appreciate the kind words man, is there anything else you would like to see me react to?
@@AltSpace intro 3 gives such an insight onto his previous albums but try notepad as it is apart of the Mansion album. How Coud You Leave Us (therapy session album) will give you an insight into his past without having to read a biography. Excited for which ever song you pick next. :))
Thank you for your suggestions my man, I will definitely be checking all of these out!
When you realize what NF is all about. Real music. 🙌
This is one of my favorite songs of his, it’s so deep and he’s telling a story
Ay man I’m apart of the NF army but I’m loving the content u put out. Honestly I wanna see reactions to other things on top of NF and the journey your on. Underrated RUclipsr
You skipped Intro! It's part of The Journey!
Fear plays a major role in the Journey of nf. He comes back again...
His mom's boyfriend used to physically abuse him. There will be more about him to come in the journey.
NF is an amazing artist. His songs intertwine to paint a picture for you. We call this The NF Journey. Put on your seatbelt if you're brave enough to take the ride.
From @struglas on RUclips;
“The Journey” is a real thing and once on it you cannot really stop. By the end you develop an intense respect and love for what NF makes. But if I close my eyes I see NF leading us along the path by the wrist. Occasionally, it’s almost too much to handle. You want to stop... NF keeps pulling. As you try to get up you stumble... NF keeps pulling. Without shoes and through the worn-out knees of your jeans you notice the scrapes. On the tops of your feet and the caps of your knees. Painful. It’s from the ground. The sea of mud NF has had to trudge through to get where he resides today has become sun-dried and cracked. When you stop to take a breather... NF keeps pulling. If he stops, he’ll quit growing. Never one of the “Options”... You willingly began this journey, so you “Search” for your feet, ignore the dust and blood and stay committed to the path. “Why”? Because you know the pain he’s pulling you through will be worth the next banger you’re about to hear. That’s the pay off. That’s the intense respect. That’s the love. It “Only” takes “Time”...
***NOTE***
Always watch NF videos until the very end, or you may miss something!

I just found your channel and I really like your vibe. You actually listen to the lyrics and pick them apart in an empathetic way, and I am absolutely here for it! You just earned yourself a subscriber😋
ayo!!!!
I just subbed bro, and I was LITERALLY Watching your First NF Vid bout an hour ago! haha welcome back!
i just did the same thing!
Same! Lol 😂
Same same same same 😂
Same 😂😂😂
I still see ppl call NF "trash" and now his lines in no name and outcast makes sense.. yeah he's not the most crazy lyrically rapper out there.. but he's the easiest to listen to.. his music sound is very well n uniquely produced n what sets him apart from the more hype sounding rappers like kendrick big sean etc etc he's a reflective rapper w real talk
He's definitely got something that kendrick, Big Sean etc don't have. I think he has a lot of heart. But I wouldn't call the other dudes hype rappers, Kendrick's to pimp a butterfly is a classic, one of the best modern hip hop albums in recent times. Big Sean's detroit 2 was decent but I only listen for the bars.
I’ve watched a ton of youtubers take the NF journey but you are absolutely my favorite! Keep it up your videos are great!
great reaction, glad your going in order you'll def enjoy it more
I just came from your reaction to No Name. It makes me happy to see that you are actually going on the NF Journey like you said that you would! Love the channel❤️
Everything NF says in his music is true. Everything he says that his gone through is true. NF raps about his life. And trust me he has gone through a lot.
It's "painted" perfectly well for people who have been there and went through the same kind of stuff we have....
I love this in depth analysis style of reacting and I can’t wait for the rest of this series
Welcome to the NF journey, its a road not many understand. Great job analyzing the lyrics
Thank you, I think it's just naturally I'm me to read between the lines so hopefully it's not too annoying when I do haha
@@AltSpace Love your style bro. God gave us all gifts, love that your blessing us with yours. Thank you
@@sharkb0078 No, thank YOU for tuning and watching, massivey appreciated 🙏
i love watching people react to nf for the first time so so much!! you got yourself a new subscriber, hiii (i recommend reacting to remember this)
Thank you for watching and subbing!
if you listen to "How Could You Leave Us?" you'll understand him pretty well (but be ready to cry, it's pretty sad.)
I already have! it was super emotional, made me stop and reflect about how grateful for the family I have in my life.
@@AltSpace oh my bad! I just found your video reacting to it! Love your channel
Your one of the best thourough reaction channels I e ever watched you look much deeper than a beat and bars you see where someone is coming from good job my man
If you ever get to his new stuff, you should listen three of his songs in a row with “Why” ---> “The Search” ---> “Leave Me Alone”. These three songs are like a series, they tell a story.
BY FAR, the best breakdown of this song that I’ve heard by a reactor. And I’ve watched pretty much everyone on this platform. Gained a Sub and a fan! Great Vid.
wow I am amazed with your reaction you highlighted aspects of this song that I have not seen any other reactor touch and even had me see the song in a completely different way from how I first interpreted it now i honestly cant wait till you reach intro 3 because it basically concludes the clash between NF and his fear in an insane way
Thank you so much for tuning in and watching. Super excited to react to intro 3, more NF coming real soon 🙏
its all about inside his head. so second verse where you were saying that you werent sure wether it was his head or a real room, hes actually on about inside his head. it could be a real room from his past aswell. But each memory or set of memories has their own room in the mansion that is our minds. everyone revisits memories good and bad and when he goes back to the bad memories, he wants to lock the room, paint over the walls and get out the room. he doesnt want to revisit those memories but they are going to be there till the day he dies
I love your commentary! NF is so 🔥. And its been fun listening to you talk about his lyrics.
He refers to his emotions as people in his head telling him things that he wants to go away but can't escape them. He wants them gone and out of his head
You should listen to "how could you leave us".
It's deep deep. You won't regret it.
Will I need some kleenex next to me?
@@AltSpace probably
In the last first where he’s talking about letting fear out...if he lets fear out he’s scared something worse in. That’s how I interpret it.
NF analises the analise of the brain, it's too deep, it's genious, purely
TOO deep for my little brain to understand. The dude is tapped into his emotions on a level that most will never get to expericence in their lifetime.
@@AltSpace well it got us thinking of thinking about it, the gods are proud :)
Bro I love u,I am 100% sure l will be with you through out all this journey!!
Bro I don’t usually comment on reaction channels but the way you broke down this song is so on point I had to let you know. Keep it up my dude
Thank you my man, I appreciate that, so much more to come, we just getting started 🔥🔥🔥
@@AltSpace 💪🏼
I love NF! I love his new stuff too now! Mansion is definitely where you start! ❤
You should check out his new song called Chasing. He originally wasn't going to release it as part of his album and just released a bit of it on twitter until a fan made a cover of it and he DM'd her and finished the song.
I waits till he reaches how could you leave us
Very impressive and thoughtful reaction. NF, Nate doesn't sing about something he hasn't experienced. It was his step-father who beat Nate so badly. His Mom's drug use put her out of it enough that she didn't notice that Nate and one or both of his sisters were being abused. She lost custody and was raised by his Dad and Grandparents. He mentions this guy is "Nate" on his search album and the guy Johnny is Intro 3 in the Perception Album. The Search album is my favorite album of all times. No shade, my favorite. Good luck on your Journey.
Bro i just found you the other night when you reacted to NF the 1st time. And im so happy to see another reaction. I love the way you hear all the points hes making. A lot of people don't catch em. Good stuff. Sub'd!
Thank you my man, more stuff to Come on the channel!
I'm loving the NF journey you're on! But you skipped over Intro! So...we'll see that one soon yeah? :) Keep up the great content!
Intro defo coming!
What a powerful song it has such a powerful message
So cleverly put together!
I love the way you try to break this all down. Very interesting to see your perspective.
You are so accurate man, just in point
This and leave me alone are my favorite songs by nf. Hes awesome
I love these video's, the way you think about and explain your thoughts on the lyrics are so amazing. I see things completely different, but you inspire me to think deeper about the lyrics. Keep it up
First video I've watched on your channel... I thoroughly enjoy the way you break down this video
Thank you my man, I appreciate it 🙏
Prepare to be sucked into the rabbithole that is NF
Subbed for your NF reactions!!! Let’s get this journey rolling, brother!!
HELL YEAH!
Love your content. Do more NF reactions when you can, I really enjoyed it! God bless
I don't know if you know this but NFs mom died when he was a kid to overdose and that change him alot. He had ADD and OCD and PTSD if im not mistaken
i think the the ADD line was for the sake of bars in NO NAME, but what do i know? also, im, like, 80% sure OCD is just something your born with, but yeah your right on other counts. on top of that, he frequently brings up his struggles with depression and various anxieties.
poor dude got a lot of shit he's dealin' with
