The last couple of minutes where his old self is trying to come through his new self is amazing. I had to rewatch it and listen to the lyrics to notice, and it made the song so much more epic.
“All I ever wanted was somebody to get this All I ever wanted was somebody to play this Yeah, take my song, put it on their playlist And get goosebumps every time they play it” -NF
But it looks like his demons aren't giving in so easy and trying to set him all the way back to the mansion. His ability to use visual metaphors to show exactly where he's at mentally is masterful
This is a masterpiece! I can't wait for the album to be released on APRIL 7, 2023... TRACKLIST: 1. HOPE 2. MOTTO 3. CAREFUL (FT. CORDAE) 4. MAMA 5. HAPPY 6. PANDEMONIUM 7. SUFFICE 8. GONE (FT. JULIA MICHAELS) 9. BULLET 10. TURN MY BACK 11. MISTAKE 12. LET EM PRAY 13. RUNNING

Can we just acknowledge that the darker side of Nate has been intentionally misleading him in self-defeating spirals. Gets sent away from the raft by dark-nate, spun back around on it by dark-nate again, and then when light-nate starts pushing back and resisting, dark-nate sends light-nate back inside of his mind. "get back in the prison. No one wants to hear from you." Nate keeps getting trapped in his own mind. I relate to this so hard.
that line "mom I forgive you " ... especially when you go back to How could you leave and the line , "I'm not ready to say I forgive you because it hasn't happened yet " ...💔❤️
References to “why”, “let you down”, cage from the outcast album, mansion playing in the mansion, the balloons and shopping cart, Nate is hands down the best at keeping a story going from album to album and video to video.. Oh and the map to Hope
The way I see this is that in the beginning when nate has the map, he's searching for hope. He wears white because he feels emboldened that he's willing to search as he wouldn't have done this before. As he starts to go down the rabbit hole of what he spent "years of [his] life" doing, the negative thoughts creep in and he's then attacked by his former self, the darker self pushes him back into the mansion. Older versions of nate would have came into the mansion wearing black but the first words the nate wearing white says is "growing pains a necessary evil" and then speaks about how a mental breakdown can be a positive" the old nate pushing him back into the mansion may have been a representation of that mental breakdown, but the fact he enters the castle in white shows how his new found sense of hope carries through into these spaces and lights the darkness so he can find his way back to the sun.
I legitimately just made the decision to change fields of work because I hit a wall…. Then Nate drops Hope and I now am 100% certain that following my heart will lead me down the right path. Keep on, brother, you’re an inspiration. I appreciate the hell out of you. Thank you.
LETS GOOOO BRIAN!!! This is the best comment I read because it means the most. Good luck on the path you realized was yours. Cherish every failure and ground yourself in every success 🤝
Awesome reaction to a masterpiece! 🔥🔥 This song touched my soul! I can relate to every word. It was my son (along with Eminem's story & album, Recovery) that helped me make the decision to go to rehab when I was 30... so that entire "30 YEARS OF....." at the end got me. And THIS is why NF is in my Top 5 (which consists of 7 people... Lmao)! 💯💯 Substance... raw... real... relatable... vulnerable... inspirational... motivational... he can rap RAP... all the different flows/cadences... he can sing... etc... Anyway! Again, awesome reaction! Much love. 😁🙏
Can’t forget about the callback to The Search track where he says “I’m lookin’ for the map to hope, you seen it?” And in the video he’s holding the map while the dark Nate is trying to trick him into going back.
Dude this song hit me so hard. I’m an alcoholic and my name is Nathan. For the past few years I’ve been in and out of rehab and kinda named my alcoholism and alter ego that drinking brings out as “Nate”. When I drink I do things that I’d never do sober. It’s insane. So the 30 years of chant went hard. Especially when he said 30 years of Nate. And at the beginning “Nate you’ve had a great run” dude. Tears. It’s so real. All of NF’s music hits right in the feels but this one was a culmination that I didn’t realize I needed so badly.
Bro, words can not describe how influential his songs can be, and this is by far the one that hits the hardest. Best choice to have released early, sets up the coming album in a big way
2 mins left: Talks for 1min: How did we go from 2 mins to 60 secs????? Haha I love it Cliff! Check out if depression was a person by Prince Ea and Dear Anxiety by Clayton Jennings
Thank you, I was just getting ready to ask or google when the whole album drops. I feel like Cartman when he couldn't wait 3weeks for the new Wii, and froze himself..lol
I'll get blasted for this I'm sure, but this is the first NF song I've heard. It was good!! I usually can take for granted it's good if Cliff puts his stamp on it.
Take the NF journey! Google the order to listen/ watch the videos to his music so you really understand the levels and meanings of his lyrics. It’s all connected ❤
One of the best Hope reactions I've seen. You realize a song is amazing when people get frustrated when it's over even if it last several minutes. Much love!
I feel you, bro! The abrupt ending, and I'm just wanting more. Now I'm looking at April for the album drop. Thinking the planned drop on the weekend of Easter Sunday hints at a "revival."
“I'd love to pack arenas and all But what I really wanna do is learn to handle my thoughts And put the reins on 'em, show 'em I'm the one that's the boss” from lost

When you said near the end, "cause I'm technically challenged..." in that embarrassed/ashamed voice fuckin cracked me up for some reason. You're awesome dude. Wish I caught this when you put it up cuz we were all losing our shit replaying it and catching all the Easter eggs.
Also at the sequence where searching NF is sitting on the rock with the light white dark black shot, the 'ay ay ay ay' background vocals follow the melody from Therapy Session.
Yooo New NF? Glad to hear about it through a cliff video recommendation. Glad to see you uploading so often and getting more recommendations, almost back to business as usual with the algorithm recommending you
Oh Cliff, you are such an awesome reactor!! Found you through Ren and I’m so glad I did! Never sen NF before and came to this but I guess I need to watch the back story now!
Your reaction when the song ended 😅 Big props for getting the references! The song you were trying to remember is Let You Down, and he was locked in the cage from Outcast.
What’s up my guy hope everything is good with u my friend. 💯💯 NF is insane my guy he blows my mind every time I hear his music. 💯 This one was different tho my guy it felt like a short movie I loved this one for sure. 💯💯
New subscriber! You picked up on things I didn't notice and other reaction channels didn't either. 🔥 I loved watching with you. I've seen sooo many reactions to this today.
The whole video is his journey he starts alone and in the middle of nowhere to going through the hardships of his mind to the top of the mountain free. Absolute masterpiece
Pumped to see Cliff Beats Reaction!!! Going to be an awesome ride! The Old man in the cage was both a throwback to "Outcast" & "Let you Down"! I am beyond excited for the new album!
I have to come back on here and say.. my first take was way wrong on this.. After I listened to it without the video a few times I got more into the words and technique… this is a 🔥track
Hey hun! Finally found your reaction for this 😅...I had been looking for yours 😊... Anyhow, Cliff, I'm not trying to be "about me" so to speak..I honestly am dying for your reactions to this and to Motto. But I'm not gonna lie, I seriously, truly need someone/a friend rt now😢 Peace, Love and Light to you always!
Had to watch the original before I watched the reactions but you're my first reactor on this song you better smile cuz this comment helps the algorithm for you 😀
My first actual day 1 premiere of NF was clouds and I watched yesterday four hours after it was released and man Jesus this guy knows how to make an album its release date is April 7th
I did the same as you at the very end, my roommate was like wtf is wrong!? You ok!!?? LOL. Did you notice, while I've not seen every single NF video, I've seen most, this is the only one I can think of that he doesn't use some sort of filter, which usually has a greenish tint, at least for the first part of the video and the end. Anybody else think of one that was as sunny and non filtered as the outside shots on this one?

The last couple of minutes where his old self is trying to come through his new self is amazing. I had to rewatch it and listen to the lyrics to notice, and it made the song so much more epic.
Or was it anger coming through? Are we going to get a song about Johnny in this album 🫣
Jaw dropped when Hope said "You're the one afraid." back at Fear. Always so powerful seeing him put Fear in its place
On that part I counted how many times he said 30 years it was 30 years plus 1 30 years and a new start I'm ready to see what more he brings.
DUDE YES!!!!!! Its almost like the venom symbiote everytime he said something negative it tried to take control but HOPE PREVAILS!!!
And the songs titles that are said in the 30 years part, when he’s going back to the darkness, Nate, why, wait, hate (hate myself), it’s amazing
How does he do this with every song? Goosebumps every time
Not sure but it's a wonderful feeling.
“All I ever wanted was somebody to get this
All I ever wanted was somebody to play this
Yeah, take my song, put it on their playlist
And get goosebumps every time they play it”

Iv heard this song a fornomanul amount of times and get goosebumps and hair standing up every time 🤯🤯🤯❤️ Australia 🤜🤛
NF found the map to Hope!! He is now in white! This Intro to the "Hope" album is beyond phenomenal!! 🔥🔥
But it looks like his demons aren't giving in so easy and trying to set him all the way back to the mansion. His ability to use visual metaphors to show exactly where he's at mentally is masterful
Holy Jesus, man. That was FIRE. Thanks Cliff!
"Forget the Mansion Im in the attic" and he was pushed through the ceiling into the room... so fire 🔥🔥🔥
This is a masterpiece! I can't wait for the album to be released on APRIL 7, 2023...

I relate to this so hard.
That's how Depression works. I thought mine was dead and buried too.... But it pops up... It's hard
It's also his thoughts telling the light Nate that he can never remove his past and he wont succeed without the dark side.
So crazy to think he’s been planning all this since his first album 🤯
that line "mom I forgive you " ... especially when you go back to How could you leave and the line , "I'm not ready to say I forgive you because it hasn't happened yet " ...💔❤️
I know, right?!
I love reactors that know NF’s catalog!
References to “why”, “let you down”, cage from the outcast album, mansion playing in the mansion, the balloons and shopping cart, Nate is hands down the best at keeping a story going from album to album and video to video.. Oh and the map to Hope
He says 30 years, 30 times. He’s 31 which in my opinion is him telling us this last year was all growth….amazing. Something only NF can do

He is so talented it's ridiculous.. NF is in a league of his own.. genius. That was a masterpiece. Love Ur reactions. Love from Ireland 💚🇨🇮🍀
Yup 🇨🇮🥃
Great video Buddy! Much Luv as Always

the "HEY"..."NATE"... "WAIT" along with the venom style imagery is such a cool way to show Hope is fighting and winning.

I just LOVE you for the torturing of the "timeclock" down! Your reaction was simply brilliant~
Great reaction video mate, goose bumps every time I hear this song
Holy shit did I need this song right now....
This dropped on my birthday, could not be more happy!!!!🤗🤗🤗💜💜💜
Love watching people truly enjoying something. These genuine reactions are wholesome af
That's the power of family
When you said near the end, "cause I'm technically challenged..." in that embarrassed/ashamed voice fuckin cracked me up for some reason. You're awesome dude. Wish I caught this when you put it up cuz we were all losing our shit replaying it and catching all the Easter eggs.
Definitely reminded me of one of his old intro tracks. Can't wait to see what he drops next. Album drops April 7th!
Man is trying to outshine my birthday?! 😂

Literally in shock... This was incredible.
Oh Cliff, you are such an awesome reactor!! Found you through Ren and I’m so glad I did! Never sen NF before and came to this but I guess I need to watch the back story now!
Love your reactions, love NF!!
Your reaction when the song ended 😅 Big props for getting the references! The song you were trying to remember is Let You Down, and he was locked in the cage from Outcast.
I am totally obsessed with this song!
NF is on another level 🔥
Nice Reaction bro. I am hyped for the Journey through his next Album.🔥🔥
Absolutely amazing!! 💯
The raft at the beginning references Drifting and Lost. You can see that Hopsin has also been inspired by NF.
great reaction as always !
Stay safe, enjoy life and share your love !
You always come across as very authentic.
HERE WE GOOOOO!!!! 🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥
U said I'm just going to let it keep playing and hope it comes back on made me laugh out loud like you wouldn't believe😂
"I'm looking for the map to Hope, have you seen it?" - The Search. I guess he found it...
lol the way you was like “NO…. Tell me it’s not over!?”
You don't have to prove yourself to us cliff lol. We know you are genuine with your reactions. Glad to know you loved the song!
The climax factor is EPIC!
What’s up my guy hope everything is good with u my friend. 💯💯 NF is insane my guy he blows my mind every time I hear his music. 💯 This one was different tho my guy it felt like a short movie I loved this one for sure. 💯💯
Great reaction, I can't wait to hear the whole album, already have it on pre-order.
I want an NF/Ren collab so bad. Both artists speak to me on a level few people have since I was a kid and first heard MMLP
Stuck with you all the way through! Live your candle of hope in the background. What a start to a new journey! Let's go!!!
I definitely love the song hope it’s very relatable
Just found this out but when he's spitting 30 years at the end, he says 30 years 31 times because he's now 31, freaking genius. 💯💯🔥🔥🔥🔥
I’ve always loved your reactions, subscribed!
You da man! Love your breakdowns!
