I relate to that comment and video on a whole new level. Man, people used to warn me about Junior year in High School. I didn't listen, I thought it was another stupid myth about High School. The struggle is real fellow junior. The struggle is real.
i'm a senior in college and had the same mentality in high school. college is awesome although i wish i had tried to enjoy the time i had in high school more.
"would you rather have a song that's number one and then never talked about again or a song that never hits number one ever but is listen to for like 50 years" I thought about somebody that I use to know
ah see, but even somebody i used to know impacted some people. well. it impacted me. i'm a gotye fan for life now. i really appreciate everything that man does as a musician and person. he's one of those rare people that not only knows what he loves and is good at it, but does a lot to give back to this community (of electronic music) that has given him so much, going so far as to find, purchase, and restore a rare french instrument that was invented back in the 40's (an ondioline) and performing a concert with them- music that hadn't been performed live on those instruments in decades. even if he's only ever known for that one pop hit, i think he's okay with that. the work he does outside of solo work shows that he's not very concerned with fame or momentum. he tours as a drummer in a band called the basics, that do very well in austrailia, and he works on side projects out of the limelight, and i think he's genuinely happy with that
It's so important to define success as something that isn't defined by external validation & actually makes you happy or you'll never ever reach said success! I'm so glad to have figured this out in my 20s, I think I'll be a much happier person for it.
Dude, your videos are so refreshing to find on my RUclips feed. You’re always giving real advice without sounding pretentious/condescending. Your videos are definitely making an impact on whoever is lucky enough to find them. 💙💙💙
Your comedic timing and editing are phenomenal Mr. Zed sir. Also very good message, good to hear from you again, keep doing what you're doing! Peace be with you!
Good luck from what I hear being a musician is hard just remember that you’re one of the few willing to take those steps to put your work out there, that’s an achievement in of itself. Good luck!
From the beginning, the quality of your content has always exceeded youtubers with bigger fanbases or bigger budgets. And that is something special. Can't wait to see you hit 1M and beyond.
Beyonce's Halo peaked at number 5 but 11years after its release, its got more views than Single Ladies (peaked at number 1) on RUclips. Only thing to take from that is that we should aim for longevity
Listen, you made that impact, at least to me, now I am the girl who listens to your song over and over at the bus. Literally this inspired me, I really needed hear this explained this way and I truly think that it shifted my mindset. Probably it would be days that I will feel bad to not have the recognition that I expect and in that moments I will go back to this video. Thank you so much🙌🏾✨💙💚
Man, thanks for these kind words of encouragement I really needed that, since I doubt allot on myself and my art. I'm gonna release all of my art, be proud and move on to the next thing :))))
This is great man. Spoke to me about my art, the fact that I became views obsessed. Wasn't making it to be proud of my own but for others to marvel at.
I'm really glad, because it would've been so easy to just tell Bieber to grow up and stop being such a crybaby, but you went with a very mature and in-depth response that did not seek to tear Bieber down, but to merely talk some sense into him.
These types of videos have always been my favourite from you - they're funny but real and always manage to be applicable to everyone's lives in some way or another. I always leave these videos with a fresh perspective on something and that's incredibly valuable imo so thank you. Okay that's enough sentimentality for today
this was a good video for artists in general just to let you know :D it feels like a punch in the stomach when you work really hard on a piece and it doesn't get the attention you hoped it would get. but yknow, your opinion about your art is the most important, and you just gotta keep hustling and hope others feel the same way you do about your next one.
I’ve been watching you since I was in high school and I’m almost 2 years out of college now. It’s been awesome growing up with you and I enjoy your new stuff better than ever, can’t wait to see what’s next 😊
THE SMILEY FRIES ARE SENDING ME I HAVENT LAUGHED THAT HARD IN WEEKS Also, this video was incredibly inspirational for someone wanting to make music. This... really put it into perspective. Thank you
Video's still relevant- man's speaking straight factz. Doesn't matter if this video didn't perform as well as some of your others as you said, because this one has a positive impact on more of the people that did watch it!
Many musicians have contract bonuses. For example, they get paid extra, if the record is number one on billboard, goes platinum, etc. That’s why they (and their labels) want to get these numbers
I was legit stressing abt what I wanted to do in life and how to accomplish my super high standards of goals all week, and ur vid came in when I unexpectedly needed it most I legit just went “oh yeah being remembered sounds better than being the best. Nvm.”
I found it funny that Justin was trying to make it a tiktok song. Like it’s one of the reasons why “the box” became so big because of tiktok but it came organically.
The problem is, you can expect this behavior from people tryna blow up. They're just trying to blow. But when you're arguably the biggest artist in the world... wyd?
Bruh same. I was trying to push myself to graduate college a semester early but I couldn’t handle 20 credit hours so I’m still in school until May, and I’ve been feeling like a failure since then. But like...that shit really spoke to me so I’m gonna try to slow down from now on
This reminds me of when I was the age Nathan is now, I was in such a rush to 'start my life' that I didn't think I had any time left to do further education. 5 years later, I realised that even though I was in such a rush, I hadn't actually accomplished anything. So I signed myself up to another 6 years of education so I can pursue my dreams, slowly. I'm so happy I did. Life doesn't end at 25! Or 30! Or 40!!! There's plenty of time! Enjoy your life and enjoy the moment, do what your heart tells you because it will always lead you in the right direction.
A cat with bread on its head I feel that. When i was 15 I had so much anxiety about my future and i felt like if I didn’t go to uni straight after school my life would fall apart. I’m 21 now and still working not in University and I’m so grateful circumstances stopped me from doing my course because 6 years later I have very different career paths in mind. Not everything happens for a reason, but we can find good reasons in everything. 🙏🏽🙏🏽
It legit baffles me you never had reached 1 mil before, you are an ancient legend in the yt game yet you just reached 500k. You deserve all the love you get Nathan. Thanks for helping me so many times and making us all laugh.
agreed man, but honestly to me (a fan) i wouldn't like him any more or any less if he were at 1mil subscribers or where he is now. i think that's part of the message he was getting at. his vids are still great to me and the sub count won't necessarily make them any better or worse

Nathan preaching and it ain’t even Sunday
🙌
The only preaching I’m for ❤️
i mean his old channel was called TheThirdPew for a reason
nathan always preaching
Tell em Nathan
Honestly as a junior in highschool that wants nothing more than to graduate and get it over with, this video hit different.
I relate to that comment and video on a whole new level. Man, people used to warn me about Junior year in High School. I didn't listen, I thought it was another stupid myth about High School. The struggle is real fellow junior. The struggle is real.
funny bunny I felt the same way through most of high school and now I’m in college and it feels like it’s happening all over again.
I’m a junior too, i get what you mean like rn it feels like I can’t slip up at all especially with all my dream colleges watching:(
i'm a senior in college and had the same mentality in high school. college is awesome although i wish i had tried to enjoy the time i had in high school more.
@@reginaa.4760 its okay to feel like that, just don't forget to remind yourself to make the most of the experiences you have
"would you rather have a song that's number one and then never talked about again or a song that never hits number one ever but is listen to for like 50 years"
I thought about somebody that I use to know
Did that song never hit number one? Cuz it's one of the most unique and interesting pop songs to hit the Top Charts in the last decade
ah see, but even somebody i used to know impacted some people. well. it impacted me. i'm a gotye fan for life now. i really appreciate everything that man does as a musician and person. he's one of those rare people that not only knows what he loves and is good at it, but does a lot to give back to this community (of electronic music) that has given him so much, going so far as to find, purchase, and restore a rare french instrument that was invented back in the 40's (an ondioline) and performing a concert with them- music that hadn't been performed live on those instruments in decades. even if he's only ever known for that one pop hit, i think he's okay with that. the work he does outside of solo work shows that he's not very concerned with fame or momentum. he tours as a drummer in a band called the basics, that do very well in austrailia, and he works on side projects out of the limelight, and i think he's genuinely happy with that
I thought about DOAB
Bad example
i thought about don't stop me now, which peaked at 86 on the billboard charts (fun fact)
It's so important to define success as something that isn't defined by external validation & actually makes you happy or you'll never ever reach said success! I'm so glad to have figured this out in my 20s, I think I'll be a much happier person for it.
Nathan stop speaking things into existence again, I thought we were behind this
Dude, your videos are so refreshing to find on my RUclips feed. You’re always giving real advice without sounding pretentious/condescending. Your videos are definitely making an impact on whoever is lucky enough to find them. 💙💙💙
The only competition in life is with yourself.
There isn’t any #1. There is always someone who can do or be better than you.
“You think everything’s gonna blow
Just cus you market it harder?
No.”
-NF
No one:
White-owned businesses:
"Agh, the blacks have done it again."
(Great video, 100%)
The way he starts to laugh after that line got me good
What are you trying to say. It’s sounds racist asf
@@HAZEo4 it is racist but you can be racist to whites and not be called out.. rather, you’ll be celebrated. One of many double standards today.
Your comedic timing and editing are phenomenal Mr. Zed sir. Also very good message, good to hear from you again, keep doing what you're doing! Peace be with you!
The real is back. The ville is back
Flow bananas here, peele this back
My first album sold one copy. My second album has sold two copies. At this rate... Idk man. But I'll stay humble and keep making music.
Good luck from what I hear being a musician is hard just remember that you’re one of the few willing to take those steps to put your work out there, that’s an achievement in of itself. Good luck!
my favorite sermon of 2020, 11/10 💖👏👏

I thoroughly enjoy your videos Nathan, as a uni student in her bed having a stressful day. ❤️ Ps. Been here since Nash Grier and proud af
"Because even when you get to Justin Beiber's level, you will be like, 'Listen to my song while you sleep, please'". HAHAHAHA. I needed that
I love what Nicki said "I don't need to go number one, I am number one" queen shit

just know i just noticed your videos and the album covers video and the sequencing video are changing all my music, so you have impacted me my brother

That new Lil Zeddy kinda fire tho🔥
Some of the best advice you could give to aspiring artists!! Thank you so much!!
2 years later from 500k to 800K and still grown the grind is working

nathan works so hard and he just shows so much love like jeez he deserves so much
just remembered that macklemore really beat yeezus, kendrick, jay-z, and drake (when he was really good)...lol
Fire and iconic energy attitude and video. Thanks Nathan for doing what you do
came just as the count down started

always a pleasure, Nathan. honestly, all of your videos are the best and keep me in check.
I love these kinds videos. I love how I feel like I’m just listening to him rant and then the fucking reenacting 😭
I just released my first single so this feels really relevant to me right now, thanks for the vid Nathan!
you have a lovely voice ! 🧜
@@sonmihae-joo6286 Thank you!!
@@GretaZewe
dude youre so great. i really resonate with you and your mindset; your videos feel like a deep epiphany-esc convo friend. im here for it
This is relevant even today after The Weeknd got snubbed for the Grammy's
Oh, Nathan, dear namesake, it’s cool you have, on your bookshelf, a copy of Toxic Relief by Dr Colbert ✊
Nice video, man
Timely and timeless 😀
You are an amazing human being okay. Shout out to your parents!
I needed this video right now bro thank you honestly
This is the best video I’ve watched all year

Also, this video was incredibly inspirational for someone wanting to make music. This... really put it into perspective. Thank you
Hey. Just wanted to tell you that this video made me smile, and it's kind of hard to do that right now. Thank u ❤️
Video's still relevant- man's speaking straight factz. Doesn't matter if this video didn't perform as well as some of your others as you said, because this one has a positive impact on more of the people that did watch it!
I've been watching since high school and I'm in college! Love you dude, keep making great vids :)
Tiktok helps small artists become big
I love how active you’ve been 🥺🤚🏽
i should watch this video every day dude this is exactly what i needed to hear
oh word maybe i should send this to a friend and they can listen to it when theyre asleep
this is so important i wanna like it more than once
Loved every second of this, I legitimately appreciate it a lot!!
we need more youtuber like nathan
bold of you to assume that "preheat oven up to 350 degrees" won't become your first smash hit
Many musicians have contract bonuses.
For example, they get paid extra, if the record is number one on billboard, goes platinum, etc. That’s why they (and their labels) want to get these numbers
there's always that ganger stuck at number 12 for like 8 weeks
I love this Ted talk
I was legit stressing abt what I wanted to do in life and how to accomplish my super high standards of goals all week, and ur vid came in when I unexpectedly needed it most I legit just went “oh yeah being remembered sounds better than being the best. Nvm.”
But for real you’re so inspiring thank you for sharing your journey 🤍
this is good advice for anything in life really
Nathan. You're just the best.
Best Channel on RUclips right now
I will download this video and show this to my kids in the future pastor nathan
Most respected RUclipsr on the platform 👏

If there is a human Salarian it is you .... man you make me smile at least once a day great stuff love it
Me just watching these videos and overly appreciating the background music🔥
The accuracy of this video 👌
The blacks have done it again SKSKSKSK NATHAN you’re outta pocket
The empathy you have for others and active strive to be kinder to yourself is inspiring and I always feel cheered up by your vids!
how did you know I needed this 😇
Damn your smart af
Such a necessary video! Thank you for this
So many truths.
I found it funny that Justin was trying to make it a tiktok song. Like it’s one of the reasons why “the box” became so big because of tiktok but it came organically.
as usual....KING
I needed this.. more than you know
everything in this video just hit me so hard
I like
OMG. thank you sooo much bro. This helped out sooo much. ❤
The content on this channel 🔥🔥🔥
Hey bro this vidoe really made me feel better I will surprise you when my project drops
The problem is, you can expect this behavior from people tryna blow up. They're just trying to blow. But when you're arguably the biggest artist in the world... wyd?
This man coulda speak any language on there but he chose fax !
Such a great, insightful video
Keep on being real
This was entertaining yet so inspirational!
That 2025 skit hahahaha
AAAAHHH I LOVE YOUR VIDEOS!
This is dope. It impacted me. Thanks!

“i am not in a rush because i will never be where i am right now again” ...that hit me...right in the face

yesss love that
exactly when i went to comments
me too. hits in my heart
You need to watch his video about nostalgic music bro
It legit baffles me you never had reached 1 mil before, you are an ancient legend in the yt game yet you just reached 500k. You deserve all the love you get Nathan. Thanks for helping me so many times and making us all laugh.
SkullFace aw his slowburn further proves the points he makes in this video. how much he means to us regardless of numbers 😭
@M when the planets in the solar system all allign nathan makes a video, and balance to the universe is restored for a moment
I- I actually forgot he doesn’t have 1 mil 😭💀
agreed man, but honestly to me (a fan) i wouldn't like him any more or any less if he were at 1mil subscribers or where he is now. i think that's part of the message he was getting at. his vids are still great to me and the sub count won't necessarily make them any better or worse
It's ok not to be on top
“I want to make the type of videos kids watch on the bus to high school” Nathan we don’t have data

“Macklemore won that year. What is he up to?” Dang Nathan!!!!
LOL So much shade 😂
What is he up to tho
@@ILiveinaShed Macklemore owns a small stake in the Seattle Sounders soccer team. ⚽️
and Kendrick made another 2 CLASSICS after that lmao
