NF has music for every vibe. When I need to get hyped: NF When I need to relieve stress: NF When I need to release anger: NF When I need to relax: NF When I go for a run: NF When I need to tune the rest of the world out: NF Thanks for everything NF.
Literally this, i even told my psychiatrist that NF and his songs get me on so many levels, maybe differently than what the songs are, but still. Probably Hate myself hits me most.
Dear Nate, we are both the same age born on the same day. My parents split when I was 7. Father was a meth addict that beat me since I was 3. I have struggled living in this world my entire life. I found you and this song 2 years ago during some of my worst times. I recently have been through 30 days of rehab to unpack the horrors that happened to me as a child. We weren’t allowed phones but I had an mp3 with this song on it. Thank you for sharing your story and giving me the courage to do the same. I pray for anyone here in those dark times to keep holding on and have faith. There is a god and I know he showed me this when I needed it most.
I feel you, my father was a abusive alcoholic, who beat me everyday, later in life I went off to serve in Marine Corps, served two tours in Iraq, seen and been threw some shit times, later I came home to my wife who found out was no faithful, and spent some odd years trying to sort all out, now I just take one day at a time, and don't let anybody get close to me, I always felt that if I do, it will just be another person to hurt me.
Search up Token please, just listen to one song. I think he NF and him sound the same in parts of this song. The flow and energy especially. I just want a second opinion lmao
im only 15 and already wish I could go back to elementary school I was so happy back then and I wasn't worrying about my future or how I look. Back when times were less stressful.
Bro, I'm 13 and I can't tell you how many times I've genuinely considered just leaving everyone and everything, but I've had some amazing people in my life I'm pretty sure you do too, you just need to figure out who is who, that is the hardest part, but everything will be ok, it just takes time.
I remember I was already 10 or 11 and wanted to go back because I saw what would happen. I’m 15 mentally/emotionally abused by my mother and I’ve went to a mental hospital and explained to a therapist why I am the way I am...she doesn’t care she is back doing the same shit. I was made out to be a whole idiot because I didn’t know it was snowing today which is why my school was cancelled. I was genuinely excited and she ruined it. I lock myself in my room where I stay.
Lyrics : I miss the days when I had a smile on my face and Wasn't so caught up all of the small things Wasn't so adamant that I could handle everything alone And wasn't so cautious, and always exhausted And actually listened to things that my heart said Ridin' my bike, just ridin' my bike Not overthinkin' my life Not always wonderin' if I'm a likeable person Or someone that nobody likes Not always stressin' 'bout money Or losin' my job or scared I ain't makin' the flight Not always going to bed every night With this knot in my stomach that never unwinds What happened to me? Yeah, what happened to me? When did I start to believe I wasn't worth it And question my purpose to breath? Wonderin' who I should be, happiness outta my reach Scared to get back on my feet Need to get rid of what's detrimental But it's hard to let go When the thing that hurt you helped you get to your dream See, I miss the days when I wasn't so faded Love wasn't always invasive, I could embrace it Just innocent, waitin', not always living in anguish When did I break and become over taken? What was the moment I caved and gave away all of my faith And mad a replacement? I miss the days when, I miss the days when I miss the smiles we had when we were young I miss the memories of feeling love I miss us runnin' underneath the sun Staring out the window when the rain would come I miss the smiles we had when we were kids, yeah I feel like life was so much simpler then, yeah When we had joy and we were innocent I'd give it all to feel that way again, way gain Gimme my mind back, yeah, gimme me mind back The one that told me I was worth something when I fall flat The one that told me I was worth something when I'm off track Back when my imagination wasn't in a cage And it was free to run fast Yeah, gimme my mind back, gimme my-gimme my mind back Before it was hi-jacked and wasn't described as A place of limitation always indicating I can't Handle everything from my past Handed ended anything it dissects Till I'm depressed, I know I'm blessed But I'm cursed too Take me back when, I was happy but I wasn't acting Vulnerable but didn't see it like some kinda weakness Or a thing that's unattractive Had emotion but I learned to mask it Didn't know what I was running after Didn't know the older I would grow the more I lose control And takin' all the baggage, it's really sad when Everything you thought was stable crashes Everything you thought would take the sadness Really only made it deeper, got me off the deep end askin' Will we ever feel like we imagine? Will we ever feel like we adapted? Will we ever feel like we did back then? Just take me back when, just take me back when I miss the smiles we had when we were young I miss the memories of feeling love I miss us runnin' underneath the sun Staring out the window when the rain would come I miss the smiles we had when we were kids, yeah I feel like life was so much simpler then, yeah When we had joy and we were innocent I'd give it all to feel that way again, way again Yeah Yeah I miss the smiles we had when we were young I miss the memories of feeling love I miss us runnin' underneath the sun Staring out the window when the rain would come I miss the smiles we had when we were kids, yeah I feel like life was so much simpler then, yeah When we had joy and we were innocent I'd give it all to feel that way again, way again
Jeremiah Trejo we just happened to feel and in my case I smoke and mind slowdown.. life is good when you have it “all” but in reality sometimes slowing down allows you to meditate and get back up🎶🎵🎼✨
Nf is on a different level then any other artist out there. There is music, then there is Nathan. No one compares to his passion and impact on those who listen to his masterpieces.
@No shirt Gamer Hate to break it to you, but you're wrong, the dude can rap and there is no doubt about it. If he didn't go through what he went through, he wouldn't be the rapper he is today.
1800 is logics most overated song i cant feel any emotion listening to if you want a song that conveys the pain of suicide then im sorry by joyner is much better many nf songs bring out emotion in me while 1800 dosent
Some days I pray that whatever god has planned for the world would reach the end of its course so the pain will stop and we all go home. Then I get a glimmer of hope after prayer and letting god take control of my life rather than carrying the weight of the world on my shoulders. Life becomes worth living when I lay my problems at the foot of the cross.

@@pareosfav4909 It's not bad for some people not to relate. I relate to this song and I am glad for people that don't. This is one of the few times where ignorance truly is bliss.
“I miss the smiles we had when we were young” This hit me. Takes me back to the days where we had nothing to worry about. Then depression and anxiety punches you...
Exactly tho it was after my diagnosis n recovery of M.S. Then 3 days ago my docyor asks where's my parents from. And I say south asia. And he goes "oh well the risks of getting M.S is very low when ppl are from there" plus No one in my family has ever had any autoimmune/neurological disease. So yeah Im blessed with privileged health care and record fast diagnosis but Im cursed with this random disease..
@@KCThatOneDreamer I agree, it's like even though you're glad they see the good in you, sometimes you want to scream that I'm human! I have Issues too! I need help! But you're to scared of the backlash that would happen so you say nothing at all, because it's easier to suffer and stay silent rather than scream and face the consequences.
Vrt's HD Vids I have a passion I need recognition but the only person that noticed me that was famous said “you’ll never make it anywhere you fat piece of shit” I’ll always remember that day
NF, I speak for all your fans out here when I say I love you and your music so much it’s gotten me through so many rough times so keep doing what your doing because your amazing😫💞
This song makes me wanna go back to being 8 years old, having crushes, real friends, easy school work, getting congratulated on my success, and going to bed happy.
I hate my past, my traumas, my issues, but I wouldn't change the past even if I could. It's true that your past experiences make you tougher. I'm not as naive as I once was and I plan to help others due to my experiences.
I really loved this girl at my work it was blind true love she is so funny coming up with some jokes here and there really helpful towards to all others and she gets scared easily especially from bugs and starts screaming so cuuute and so funny that I just want to give her hugs and kisses. I started loving her after she was away from work for 1 whole week then it was so quiet and I missed her so much and developed strong feelings for her and now my friends at work says she doesn't want to have a relationship with her co workers but if she changes her mind then I wil say yes and explain her all the nice things I love about her she is a true angel the world needs more people like her.❤️😥
Nfs music helped me get out of a 6 year heroin addiction, helped me find God, not in a church but in the lyrics this man writes. I'm a father now, a husband, a son, a brother, a friend, because of how real the things he writes about are, helped save my life and make me better. Keep doing what you're doing man, I need your music!
@@Struggler3831 when I was in teen challenge rehab facility I heard all I have and when he said I don't live for the world I live for the king, started my journey into his amazing music, love nf!
"The hardest part about depression is hating yourself, the hardest part about hating yourself is realizing you're stuck with a person you hate for the rest of your life."
Today is the first time that I’ve heard this song and it made me really stop/think and know how blessed I really am to have my mind back! 🙌🏼🙌🏼🙌🏼 I hope u know there is always hope if we give 110% to everything we do to make a positive difference in this evil/greedy and corrupt world that we currently live in to make it a better place! I pray multiple times throughout the day that eventually we will all come together as one nation under god and take a stand for our freedom and rights in this country! All lives matter! 🙏🙏🙏 Peace/love and no war!

Omg I thought I was the only person life was good then but it can get better..because when you love yourself you find what you need...I'm still trying to find that but I need to take my own advice some day
NF will always be my role model man, he is so heart touching with his songs. He is so relatable to all of us, we will always be grateful for you nate ❤️
That's really interesting. It's probably my least favourite from the album (which isn't saying much because I love them all), but still thought is was interesting.
I miss the old me the me that was innocent, the me that wasn't negative. I miss the me that wasn't always stressed.. I miss the old me that wouldn't look in the mirror and say to myself "I'm ugly".
My twin brother passed away last year His favorite was NF it got him the worst times up to his last breath he listened to (paralyzed) 😢 I love this song, I do miss the days twin💙 #twinsforlife
I'm sorry for your loss my dear. I'm sure he was listening to this song with you and that he'll always be around wherever you go :) may he Rest In Peace
I'm a Southern Christian (Non-denominational). I listen to alot of lyrical hip-hop and find myself drifting back to Biggie, Pac, A Tribe Called Quest, Eminem, Rakim, Eazy E, etc but this is hands down my favorite song from any genre that I've ever heard. My mother was murdered when I was 5. I've been on both sides of the sexual abuse/rape scenario (due to ludicrous accusations and bad situations) I've missed how my brother was before the drugs and money. I've begged my Lord for answers. Ive faced demons. And in the end this song truly speaks to me on levels that those without severe PTSD can't fathom. This is my anthem. Praise Jesus. Thank you for NF's talent. And Amen.
anyone else feel that they can share how they feel with strangers rather than friends family etc. because they're scared of being judged, but they know strangers wont judge them?
I'm 26, my fiancee is 23. We worked ourselves through homelessness when we met. She's my pillar, my reason for waking up, my reason to make coffee in the morning, hell my reason to even gods damned smile. Through our shared experience we saved every penny to get car, donated blood, worked overtime including our disabilities, ended up getting a car, moved out of poverty to move to the country side, different state, to a much better place of living and not surrounded by addicts, players, predators, and absolute frauds of "the experience". Way better from the abuse of home and our "friends". This reminds me of 5+ Miles to a job we both despised, and we both absolutely felt within the core of our being that would be The absolute end. We'd bicycle every morning from 6-8+ many hours after even clocking off. That riding my bike line really hits a nerve. You think you're on top of the world even when shits...well...shit. Specifically when you're younger. In a strange way, I pray again for those days. With the whole covid crisis we're facing our fair share of extra stuggles right now. "Strife creates strength", I guess could be a cliche' phrase for it. Praying for us all, we're gonna make it guys/gals. Much love. -J.
My mom is a single mom with 5 kids at first my mom had my older sister and my twin and me it was a struggle because we had to walk to the stores trying to find a place but then we go up on our feet and had a place but then my stepfather left us after we had my other two siblings he left us by cheating on my mom but now we are living with my grandmother. My mom is now dating her love of her life and we are trying to find a place and I know it not being homeless but we basically were I give all my respect to all the single mothers who are struggling I give my prayers to people that are struggling the moms and the dads also who ever else god has ur side no matter what
Dear NF, I attended your concert last night at Red Rocks in Morrison, Colorado. The performance was absolutely phenomenal. Near the end of the performance, right before the encore, I tossed up a desert camo patch on the stage. The patch is for the left arm of the desert camouflage uniform. I felt that I needed to leave it for you as a symbol of myself, and others like me, who are still here because your music has shown us that we are not alone. I have lost far too many Brother's and Sister's, upwards of 22 a day. The problem is so bad that the VA is now requesting that we check the VA parking lots for our family in crisis. Some were sent home in flag draped coffins, while others were consumed by their personal darkness and ended it all, and some wander around a shell of who they once were. Since I have discovered your music, starting with Mansion, I have been encouraging other Veteran's to listen as well. I know a patch is not much of a thank you, but thank you for helping me to become better, and for the message that your music contains that help so many others. You are truly a blessing, Sir. May your life be showered with love and light for our creator God!
what's crazy is that is literally what i do when im fighting myself and overthinking my life...like rn my mind scares me and im afraid why some of the things that float around in my mind started forming. When I feel like that, I'd grab my bike and just ride for miles and miles just trying to forget. When I heard that line I got so many chills
29 and the majority of my life feels like an entrapped emptiness.. But when I hear this Nate, it feels ok cause we relate in so many ways and makes the pain go away and I feel ok again. This one's my Fav.. All your songs are Great... Music Medicates!
Cried twice listening to this when I was going through a hella hard time. When you find a song that matches exactly how you're feeling in life, it hits hard.
I haven't actually had proper socialization for most of my life. I dont really care a lot though, since I like being a loner and I am introverted on some levels. But... because I haven't really talked to so many people or made new friends, I wonder what people think of me. Some times, it becomes something I worry over so much. When I do try to have a conversation with someone, or make a friend, I always have this thought in my mind of "what if they don't actually like me?" Or with the friends I had and have, "Did I do/say something that they havent said anything tk me for a little while?" It keeps me really anxious and stressed when I dont want to.
Damn, this song came in the perfect point in my life!! Just graduated highschool and the real world hasn’t been treating me the best but Nate giving the motivation to get through it!! Thank you Nate for all the real passionate music and inspiring me to make music too
I feel you on this one, i just graduated in june and i dont have money to pay for college or anything at the moment and i dont know what i really want to do in life

Whole album is life changing...just drove around for 2 hours listening to all these impactful tracks. This song reminds me of something you'd hear as an important episode of SoA was ending.
This song hits hard to home its almost a spiritual connection I have with it Im sure you hear it alot @NF but I genuinely thank you for being here, being our voice and just being you love you man
My friend are like “You talk about NF all the time. Nobody cares.” They just don’t understand Edit. I got nf merch XD also, one of my friends listened to NF and now likes him. At school my teacher told us to “write NF on your paper if you’re not finished” and legit everyone looked at me cause I had my nf hoodie on. Edit two. I was wearing my NF hoodie and my music teacher goes “real music?” And I was like “yeah. It’s a saying the rapper NF uses. He raps about real stuff going on. Real music.” And that’s probably the first time I have ever had a full blown conversation with a teacher XD Edit 3?? I got my dad addicted to NF. Whenever I help him, we listen to NF. Its great
well nobody wants to hear someone talking about an artist most people don’t know. if someone was talking to you all the time about a singer or rapper you don’t know, i’m pretty sure you’d be annoyed lol
@@twistychimp1487 enjoy being 12 trust me im 14 and i already feel like i wanna die. i miss being 11-12 years old soooo much i could write forever but I'm not lol. and be with your parents as much as possible because when you are older you will want to be with them and when they are dead you will wish you could've been with them more.
I just broke up with a girlfriend that I have been dating for two years.. you find out she never loved me.. you was pretending.. only to rip my heart out of my chest. You expressed that perfectly
i miss being innocent i had smooth arms a smile on my face a certain sparkle in my eyes my parents weren't worried about me *oh the things i would do to have that back*
Same though there was something surreal about it not a care or worry in the world that affected us just a happy existence till the day our eyes glazed over and shut out the world and ourselves trapped deep inside ourselves to avoid being hurt or just able to feel anything like love or just anything it sucks being depressed and numb all the time and just not happy but for me there’s peace in that some how but it’s lonely as hell but at least I’m with myself and someone who will just use me all the time
This song really brought a lot emotion. It instantly brought tears not in a bad or good way in a way that I wasn’t so alone way. That other people feel this empty pit, loneliness, and feeling like you’ll never be enough. So when people say your not alone. No one is really alone. Not when you have someone else out there feeling what you feel. We got this.
I needed to hear this, thank you so much, no one has ever said that to me I wanna say, thank god for you, you helping me through the wrist times, your making me not wanting to kill myself. I’m 11 so thank you for saving my life❤❤ I hope you live a amazing life😁

This song ain't meant to have complex bars, just nice and simple hard hitting lines

For sure

period, he really does, what a legend
Dear Nate, we are both the same age born on the same day. My parents split when I was 7. Father was a meth addict that beat me since I was 3. I have struggled living in this world my entire life. I found you and this song 2 years ago during some of my worst times. I recently have been through 30 days of rehab to unpack the horrors that happened to me as a child. We weren’t allowed phones but I had an mp3 with this song on it. Thank you for sharing your story and giving me the courage to do the same. I pray for anyone here in those dark times to keep holding on and have faith. There is a god and I know he showed me this when I needed it most.
I am deeply sorry you had to go through that! I suggest you to study and learn about Islam religion.
holyshit dude i hope you recover
I feel you, my father was a abusive alcoholic, who beat me everyday, later in life I went off to serve in Marine Corps, served two tours in Iraq, seen and been threw some shit times, later I came home to my wife who found out was no faithful, and spent some odd years trying to sort all out, now I just take one day at a time, and don't let anybody get close to me, I always felt that if I do, it will just be another person to hurt me.
@Keksmo I have no issues, I worked all out over time and have moved on, provided a better future for my children and grandchildren.
❤❤❤❤❤❤we’re here for u too🎉🎉🎉
NF is one of those rare artists who just can't create something that's not timeless and amazing. 👍 Real.

Search up Token please, just listen to one song. I think he NF and him sound the same in parts of this song. The flow and energy especially. I just want a second opinion lmao
@@dayzfreshie1017 hes not rly that good in my opinion, but i respect yours

When Nate said '' I know I'm blessed

im only 15 and already wish I could go back to elementary school I was so happy back then and I wasn't worrying about my future or how I look. Back when times were less stressful.
Bro, I'm 13 and I can't tell you how many times I've genuinely considered just leaving everyone and everything, but I've had some amazing people in my life I'm pretty sure you do too, you just need to figure out who is who, that is the hardest part, but everything will be ok, it just takes time.
shit same 15 too wondering wht happened to the cheerful little kid and how i became such a dissapointment
wait till your 17/18
I'm just 14... :)
I remember I was already 10 or 11 and wanted to go back because I saw what would happen. I’m 15 mentally/emotionally abused by my mother and I’ve went to a mental hospital and explained to a therapist why I am the way I am...she doesn’t care she is back doing the same shit. I was made out to be a whole idiot because I didn’t know it was snowing today which is why my school was cancelled. I was genuinely excited and she ruined it. I lock myself in my room where I stay.
It's amazing how NF makes each album even better than the rest. I haven't heard a single song I don't like from him.
Yessss
Enoch Ching I only don’t like some of the moments songs
Really? I thought this album was sorta weak?
@@rogue1147 In my opinion is pretty good, but not everyone thinks the same and that's fine

Lyrics :
I miss the days when
I had a smile on my face and
Wasn't so caught up all of the small things
Wasn't so adamant that I could handle everything alone
And wasn't so cautious, and always exhausted
And actually listened to things that my heart said
Ridin' my bike, just ridin' my bike
Not overthinkin' my life
Not always wonderin' if I'm a likeable person
Or someone that nobody likes
Not always stressin' 'bout money
Or losin' my job or scared I ain't makin' the flight
Not always going to bed every night
With this knot in my stomach that never unwinds
What happened to me? Yeah, what happened to me?
When did I start to believe I wasn't worth it
And question my purpose to breath?
Wonderin' who I should be, happiness outta my reach
Scared to get back on my feet
Need to get rid of what's detrimental
But it's hard to let go
When the thing that hurt you helped you get to your dream
See, I miss the days when I wasn't so faded
Love wasn't always invasive, I could embrace it
Just innocent, waitin', not always living in anguish
When did I break and become over taken?
What was the moment I caved and gave away all of my faith
And mad a replacement? I miss the days when, I miss the days when
I miss the smiles we had when we were young
I miss the memories of feeling love
I miss us runnin' underneath the sun
Staring out the window when the rain would come
I miss the smiles we had when we were kids, yeah
I feel like life was so much simpler then, yeah
When we had joy and we were innocent
I'd give it all to feel that way again, way gain
Gimme my mind back, yeah, gimme me mind back
The one that told me I was worth something when I fall flat
The one that told me I was worth something when I'm off track
Back when my imagination wasn't in a cage
And it was free to run fast
Yeah, gimme my mind back, gimme my-gimme my mind back
Before it was hi-jacked and wasn't described as
A place of limitation always indicating I can't
Handle everything from my past
Handed ended anything it dissects
Till I'm depressed, I know I'm blessed
But I'm cursed too
Take me back when, I was happy but I wasn't acting
Vulnerable but didn't see it like some kinda weakness
Or a thing that's unattractive
Had emotion but I learned to mask it
Didn't know what I was running after
Didn't know the older I would grow the more I lose control
And takin' all the baggage, it's really sad when
Everything you thought was stable crashes
Everything you thought would take the sadness
Really only made it deeper, got me off the deep end askin'
Will we ever feel like we imagine?
Will we ever feel like we adapted?
Will we ever feel like we did back then?
Just take me back when, just take me back when
I miss the smiles we had when we were young
I miss the memories of feeling love
I miss us runnin' underneath the sun
Staring out the window when the rain would come
I miss the smiles we had when we were kids, yeah
I feel like life was so much simpler then, yeah
When we had joy and we were innocent
I'd give it all to feel that way again, way again
Yeah
Yeah

This isn't just my favorite NF song - it's one of my favorite songs of all times. Not only well made and executed, but so relatable.
NF is the goat man 😢
This is definitely my favorite NF song
This really suites the feels today 😭💔
Nf is on a different level then any other artist out there. There is music, then there is Nathan. No one compares to his passion and impact on those who listen to his masterpieces.
Thats because hes Jesus Christ Driven
God gave him the power and ability to channel his feelings into music, that’s passion not some shallow “Happy” BS that most artists make
I don't think NF gives a fuck about a Grammy
@No shirt Gamer Hate to break it to you, but you're wrong, the dude can rap and there is no doubt about it. If he didn't go through what he went through, he wouldn't be the rapper he is today.
1800 is logics most overated song i cant feel any emotion listening to if you want a song that conveys the pain of suicide then im sorry by joyner is much better many nf songs bring out emotion in me while 1800 dosent

Some days I pray that whatever god has planned for the world would reach the end of its course so the pain will stop and we all go home. Then I get a glimmer of hope after prayer and letting god take control of my life rather than carrying the weight of the world on my shoulders. Life becomes worth living when I lay my problems at the foot of the cross.

But you're to scared of the backlash that would happen so you say nothing at all, because it's easier to suffer and stay silent rather than scream and face the consequences.

I started loving her after she was away from work for 1 whole week then it was so quiet and I missed her so much and developed strong feelings for her and now my friends at work says she doesn't want to have a relationship with her co workers but if she changes her mind then I wil say yes and explain her all the nice things I love about her she is a true angel the world needs more people like her.❤️😥

Or a thing that's unattractive
Had emotion, but I learned to mask it
Didn't know what I was runnin' after
Didn't know the older I would grow
The more I'd lose control and take in all the baggage
It's really sad when everything you thought was stable crashes
Everything you thought would take the sadness
Really only made it deeper, got me off the deep end askin'

Bruh same!
Everyone does, its a natural part of life
NF will always be my role model man, he is so heart touching with his songs. He is so relatable to all of us, we will always be grateful for you nate ❤️
Anyone who listens to NF is either hurt or lost. All will be well my friends. We’re supposed to be in this together
Youre right 😔
kcazseeley nah I’m fine lol I just like the music
Blake Clune same 😂
❤
We’re a family...
Who is else is just listening to song after song and feeling every bar he is spitting?
Legit me
Gabe Jones Me!! 🔥❤️🐐
Me
Meeeee
Yeas
“Id give it all to feel that way again”
Truer words have never been spoken 😞
❤❤😇
😖
True
❤️
HIts diff when u don't cry over NF music but actually sit in silence ....
One of the reasons this song gives me chills is because the choir sounds like they’re mourning the loss of their childhood innocence.
Just a Playlist Guy Wow that’s deep!! And your right!!
This is by far the best song on this album I hope this becomes the new let you down
That's really interesting. It's probably my least favourite from the album (which isn't saying much because I love them all), but still thought is was interesting.
I feel like time might be the new let you down with the way some radio stations are playing it
camrynxo true
Martín Erburu idk I really like this one, maybe change a little bit more but I think let me go is my least favorite
This is also my favorite, but I don't think it has the same mainstream sound that Let you Down have. But I relate a lot with this song
Somebody please give NF a grammy 😭😭😭😭
Yea man. I really hope for him
Grammy equals selling your soul, NF will never take that path.
I strongly agree with u😭😭💯💯
FUCK GRAMMY MAN... FUCK GRAMMY
I miss the old me the me that was innocent, the me that wasn't negative. I miss the me that wasn't always stressed.. I miss the old me that wouldn't look in the mirror and say to myself "I'm ugly".
My twin brother passed away last year
His favorite was NF
it got him the worst times up to his last breath he listened to (paralyzed)
😢 I love this song, I do miss the days twin💙
#twinsforlife
Im sorry for your loss ❤
I'm sorry for your loss my dear. I'm sure he was listening to this song with you and that he'll always be around wherever you go :) may he Rest In Peace
I'm sorry to hear that I'm sorry for ur lost hope things get better and nf song hit us hard
May rest in peace💔❤️
I only posted a comment because I love NF for his music I didn't want negative feedback.. thanks for the kind words
I'm a Southern Christian (Non-denominational). I listen to alot of lyrical hip-hop and find myself drifting back to Biggie, Pac, A Tribe Called Quest, Eminem, Rakim, Eazy E, etc but this is hands down my favorite song from any genre that I've ever heard. My mother was murdered when I was 5. I've been on both sides of the sexual abuse/rape scenario (due to ludicrous accusations and bad situations) I've missed how my brother was before the drugs and money. I've begged my Lord for answers. Ive faced demons. And in the end this song truly speaks to me on levels that those without severe PTSD can't fathom. This is my anthem. Praise Jesus. Thank you for NF's talent. And Amen.
You are a representation of the strength a person being is capable if having. Keep going!
ily
Great testimony!
"Love was not always invasive" true works I'm depressed and this was just good for my mood...
anyone else feel that they can share how they feel with strangers rather than friends family etc. because they're scared of being judged, but they know strangers wont judge them?
ye fr. also walking around a city where nobody knows you
naa strangers would probably still judge, but you wont care what they think
its because if the strangers judge you you arent ruining your relationship with your friend
my family would judge me most
Paige Welton facts
I'm 26, my fiancee is 23. We worked ourselves through homelessness when we met. She's my pillar, my reason for waking up, my reason to make coffee in the morning, hell my reason to even gods damned smile. Through our shared experience we saved every penny to get car, donated blood, worked overtime including our disabilities, ended up getting a car, moved out of poverty to move to the country side, different state, to a much better place of living and not surrounded by addicts, players, predators, and absolute frauds of "the experience".
Way better from the abuse of home and our "friends". This reminds me of 5+ Miles to a job we both despised, and we both absolutely felt within the core of our being that would be The absolute end. We'd bicycle every morning from 6-8+ many hours after even clocking off.
That riding my bike line really hits a nerve. You think you're on top of the world even when shits...well...shit. Specifically when you're younger.
In a strange way, I pray again for those days. With the whole covid crisis we're facing our fair share of extra stuggles right now. "Strife creates strength", I guess could be a cliche' phrase for it.
Praying for us all, we're gonna make it guys/gals. Much love.
-J.
This is so beautiful you guys deserve the world 💗
Bless you and your family, times always get better
My mom is a single mom with 5 kids at first my mom had my older sister and my twin and me it was a struggle because we had to walk to the stores trying to find a place but then we go up on our feet and had a place but then my stepfather left us after we had my other two siblings he left us by cheating on my mom but now we are living with my grandmother. My mom is now dating her love of her life and we are trying to find a place and I know it not being homeless but we basically were I give all my respect to all the single mothers who are struggling I give my prayers to people that are struggling the moms and the dads also who ever else god has ur side no matter what
I’m so proud of you guys ❤️y’all got this
Ya got this!
This is the most heartfelt and emotional song on this album that I've heard so far. I think this is my favorite song off this album.
The worst thing about it is, knowing you’re trapped and there’s not much anyone can do to get out and realizing you can’t live like this
Dear NF,
I attended your concert last night at Red Rocks in Morrison, Colorado. The performance was absolutely phenomenal. Near the end of the performance, right before the encore, I tossed up a desert camo patch on the stage. The patch is for the left arm of the desert camouflage uniform. I felt that I needed to leave it for you as a symbol of myself, and others like me, who are still here because your music has shown us that we are not alone. I have lost far too many Brother's and Sister's, upwards of 22 a day. The problem is so bad that the VA is now requesting that we check the VA parking lots for our family in crisis. Some were sent home in flag draped coffins, while others were consumed by their personal darkness and ended it all, and some wander around a shell of who they once were. Since I have discovered your music, starting with Mansion, I have been encouraging other Veteran's to listen as well. I know a patch is not much of a thank you, but thank you for helping me to become better, and for the message that your music contains that help so many others. You are truly a blessing, Sir. May your life be showered with love and light for our creator God!
"Ridin' my bike, just ridin' my bike" To that, and everything else, cheers!
@CL M i feel you. incredible song
what's crazy is that is literally what i do when im fighting myself and overthinking my life...like rn my mind scares me and im afraid why some of the things that float around in my mind started forming. When I feel like that, I'd grab my bike and just ride for miles and miles just trying to forget. When I heard that line I got so many chills
CrymInAction as a person who is an avid bike rider this line stuck out to me! Cheers!
not going to quote a sentence, otherwise i would need to be quoting the whole song
This comment is too clever to be this underrated.
Remember this is full of quotes
😂🔥
big facts
SoOOooo True Doh
29 and the majority of my life feels like an entrapped emptiness.. But when I hear this Nate, it feels ok cause we relate in so many ways and makes the pain go away and I feel ok again. This one's my Fav.. All your songs are Great... Music Medicates!
“It’s really sad when everything you thought was stable crashes “
This wow...
Hello the world is crashing ur now
Police officer : sir your phone is on fire please stand back
Me: oh no it’s fine it’s just NF
Fax!
It’s Dax
Real Jbmnt SMOKE WAX!
Real Jbmnt EAT SNAX
Real Jbmnt LIFE HAX
Cried twice listening to this when I was going through a hella hard time. When you find a song that matches exactly how you're feeling in life, it hits hard.
The way he says “way again” kill me 🖤
when he said “Everything you thought was stable crashes” I felt that
"Not overthinkin' my life
Not always wonderin' if I'm a likable person
Or someone that nobody likes."
❤️♥️❤️
@Keksmo Hello! I am well. 😇 Thanks, for asking! Thanks for the information, too. How are ya? 😄🌷💗
I haven't actually had proper socialization for most of my life. I dont really care a lot though, since I like being a loner and I am introverted on some levels. But... because I haven't really talked to so many people or made new friends, I wonder what people think of me. Some times, it becomes something I worry over so much. When I do try to have a conversation with someone, or make a friend, I always have this thought in my mind of "what if they don't actually like me?" Or with the friends I had and have, "Did I do/say something that they havent said anything tk me for a little while?" It keeps me really anxious and stressed when I dont want to.
The joy i felt when the notifications came in that the album has dropped
Thank You NF
Hard days are upon the youth God I pray you guide us all to the light and to have a better purpose ❤Amen
Damn, this song came in the perfect point in my life!! Just graduated highschool and the real world hasn’t been treating me the best but Nate giving the motivation to get through it!! Thank you Nate for all the real passionate music and inspiring me to make music too
I feel you on this one, i just graduated in june and i dont have money to pay for college or anything at the moment and i dont know what i really want to do in life
Richie Dreams same here, but we got this ❤️🙌🏼
same fr
Shanice Levi hell yess we do!💯 aye, can ya check out my music? I pour my soul into my music and would appreciate some feedback
InsaneSkills same man! Except, I’m trynna put my time into making music
This song makes me feel real emotion. I've been dead inside and feel like every thing is pointless. I hate it, but the voices say, "love it."
Unreachable 2 yes!!!!
Mmh, mmh
Mmh, mmh
I miss the days when
I had a smile on my face and
Wasn't so caught up in all of the small things
Wasn't so adamant that I could handle everything alone
And wasn't so cautious and always exhausted
And actually listen to things that my heart said (heart said)
Ridin' my bike, just ridin' my bike
Not overthinkin' my life
Not always wonderin' if I'm a likable person
Or someone that nobody likes
Not always stressin' 'bout money or losin' my job
Or scared I ain't makin' a flight
Not always goin' to bed every night
With this knot in my stomach that never unwinds
What happened to me? Yeah, what happened to me?
When did I start to believe I wasn't worth it
Then question my purpose to breathe?
Wonderin' who I should be
Happiness out of my reach
Sacred to get back on my feet
Need to get rid of what's detrimental, but it's hard to let go
When the thing that hurts you help you get to your dreams
See, I miss the days when I wasn't so faded
Love wasn't always invasive, I could embrace it
Just innocent, waitin', not always livin' in anguish
When did I break and become overtaken?
What was the moment I caved and
Gave away all of my faith and made a replacement?
I miss the days when, I miss the days when
I miss the smiles we had when we were young (oh)
I miss the memories of feeling love (oh)
I miss us runnin' underneath the sun (oh)
Staring out the window when the rain would come (oh)
I miss the smiles we had when we were kids, yeah (oh)
I feel like life was so much simpler then, yeah (oh)
When we had joy and we were innocent (oh)
I'd give it all to feel that way again, way again
Give me my mind back, yeah
Give me my mind back
The one that told me I was worth somethin' when I fall flat
Yeah, fall flat
The one that told me I was worth somethin' when I'm off track
Back when my imagination wasn't in a cage and it was free to run fast
Yeah, give me my mind back
Yeah, give me my, give me my mind back
Before it was hijacked and wasn't described as
A place of limitation, always indicating I can't
Handle everything from my past
Handed anything it dissects 'til I'm depressed
I know I'm blessed, but I'm cursed too
Take me back when I was happy, but I wasn't actin'
Vulnerable but didn't see it like some kind of weakness
Or a thing that's unattractive
Had emotion, but I learned to mask it
Didn't know what I was runnin' after
Didn't know the older I would grow
The more I'd lose control and take in all the baggage
It's really sad when everything you thought was stable crashes
Everything you thought would take the sadness
Really only made it deeper, got me off the deep end askin'
Will we ever feel like we imagine?
Will we ever feel like we adapted?
Will we ever feel like we did back then?
Just take me back when, take me back when
I miss the smiles we had when we were young (oh)
I miss the memories of feeling love (oh)
I miss us runnin' underneath the sun (oh)
Staring out the window when the rain would come (oh)
I miss the smiles we had when we were kids, yeah (oh)
I feel like life was so much simpler then, yeah (oh)
When we had joy and we were innocent (oh)
I'd give it all to feel that way again, way again
Oh-oh-oh (oh)
Oh-oh-oh (way again)
Oh-oh-oh (mmh)
Oh-oh-oh (way again, way again)
Yeah, oh-oh-oh (oh) (had when we were kids)
Oh-oh-oh (oh) (so much simpler then)
Oh-oh-oh (oh) (and we were innocent)
Oh-oh-oh (oh), yeah, ay
I miss the smiles we used to have when we were young (oh)
I miss the memories of feeling love (oh)
I miss us runnin' underneath the sun (oh)
Staring out the window when the rain would come (oh)
I miss the smiles we had when we were kids, yeah (oh)
I feel like life was so much simpler then, yeah (oh)
When we had joy and we were innocent (oh)
I'd give it all to feel that way again, way again (oh)
Oh-oh-oh (oh)
Oh-oh-oh
Oh-oh-oh
Oh-oh-oh
Mmh, mmh
Mmh, mmh
you the mvp ty
Wish he'd come through Arkansas and Collab with my cousins band, petalshelf and further down
Your kind is underappreciated, Thank you!
@Keksmo hey how are u?
@Keksmo I'm feeling alright, how bout yourself?
I miss those days 😢
Whole album is life changing...just drove around for 2 hours listening to all these impactful tracks. This song reminds me of something you'd hear as an important episode of SoA was ending.
I'm crying because i finally found someone who feels the same way as I do
Crying of hapiness that is
@@featless6444 that's amazing I am still looking but keep that person clos
Dropping everything at once eh?
Dude stop, my house can't burn down again.
AlphA Ovakill mine already did and I haven’t even listened to everything yet 😂
Bro everything around my entire neighborhood is on fire rn
Here before this comment gets a lot of likes
I’m so glad I have insurance
hold up when did i end up in the sun?
This is my favorite NF song and he saved my life 💙
💀
This is how many people love NF
⬇️
I’m pretty sure more than 173 people love NF lololol
Yaritza Rodriguez Me!! 🔥😍❤️
Way more
Nice attempt to get likes, I'll give you that
NF hits the soul.
Barely got into NF a while ago , he’s 🔥, don’t regret getting into him
Same
Welcome to Real Music
I also don't regret getting into him ( ͡° ͜ʖ ͡°)
Same!
Skittles Gaming welcome to the family!🖤
This song hits hard to home its almost a spiritual connection I have with it Im sure you hear it alot @NF but I genuinely thank you for being here, being our voice and just being you love you man
My friend are like “You talk about NF all the time. Nobody cares.” They just don’t understand
Edit. I got nf merch XD also, one of my friends listened to NF and now likes him. At school my teacher told us to “write NF on your paper if you’re not finished” and legit everyone looked at me cause I had my nf hoodie on.
Edit two. I was wearing my NF hoodie and my music teacher goes “real music?” And I was like “yeah. It’s a saying the rapper NF uses. He raps about real stuff going on. Real music.” And that’s probably the first time I have ever had a full blown conversation with a teacher XD
Edit 3??
I got my dad addicted to NF. Whenever I help him, we listen to NF. Its great
Ria Sharda maybe I will
well nobody wants to hear someone talking about an artist most people don’t know. if someone was talking to you all the time about a singer or rapper you don’t know, i’m pretty sure you’d be annoyed lol
frank maybe. But you don’t gotta be rude about it
They really don't
Dude all my friends and cousins say the same thing😞
When we were younger we always said 'I cant wait to grow up'
We got older and now we dont even want to exist.
i am 12 and i still want to be older cus then i can move out and not be with my neglectful parents
@@twistychimp1487 enjoy being 12 trust me im 14 and i already feel like i wanna die. i miss being 11-12 years old soooo much i could write forever but I'm not lol. and be with your parents as much as possible because when you are older you will want to be with them and when they are dead you will wish you could've been with them more.
@@williamstull1471 my parents are what causes my depression
@@twistychimp1487 oh i am sorry. idk what i would even do then
@@williamstull1471 i try to play video games and such but even my "friends" cause issues and i get yelled at every 10 seconds
Don’t you ever just...cry in bed...over something or someone...and then stop crying...but you try to cry...but you can’t cuz your so numb all over...💔
All the time
Same😔
I just broke up with a girlfriend that I have been dating for two years.. you find out she never loved me.. you was pretending.. only to rip my heart out of my chest. You expressed that perfectly
I've never related so much
Yeah all the time over many things
i agree with him completely!
I don't buy albums or music in general but I'm going to buy this masterpiece, nf deserves support
i miss being innocent
i had smooth arms
a smile on my face
a certain sparkle in my eyes
my parents weren't worried about me
*oh the things i would do to have that back*
Me too
Hey just keep going and fighting I'm proud of you and those scars makes you stronger
Same though there was something surreal about it not a care or worry in the world that affected us just a happy existence till the day our eyes glazed over and shut out the world and ourselves trapped deep inside ourselves to avoid being hurt or just able to feel anything like love or just anything it sucks being depressed and numb all the time and just not happy but for me there’s peace in that some how but it’s lonely as hell but at least I’m with myself and someone who will just use me all the time
Me too, but don't worry it'll get better stay strong alright? U got this i believe in you buddy
Heh me to man me to
Oh my god!!😲😲 That choirs at the end melted my heart ❤️😍
This song really brought a lot emotion. It instantly brought tears not in a bad or good way in a way that I wasn’t so alone way. That other people feel this empty pit, loneliness, and feeling like you’ll never be enough. So when people say your not alone. No one is really alone. Not when you have someone else out there feeling what you feel. We got this.
I needed to hear this, thank you so much, no one has ever said that to me I wanna say, thank god for you, you helping me through the wrist times, your making me not wanting to kill myself. I’m 11 so thank you for saving my life❤❤ I hope you live a amazing life😁
"Always wondering if I'm a likeable person or somebody that nobody likes"
That-
That really hit me-
