Love and appreciate each one of y’all!! I’ll see you on the next video reaction!!
He hits on a very important theme for him that he will revisit. He says "I'm in a box, but I'm the one that locked me in..." If you remember back in the chorus of Mansion he says "my mind is a home I'm trapped in...". This theme of this box/home/cage that represents his mind as a place where he is trapped, and that he (and you also could argue his fear) is the one with the ability to let himself in/out is a major theme in many of his songs.
Great take Joel! Very nice! Thanks for that, and thanks for being here from the beginning!😊👍
He also references in grindin. " This industry is nothing but a box. So I ain't going to climb in it" so this tells me the word box carries a lot of symbolism for NF!
Well said! I agree
Whenever I listen to this song, it makes me remember a certain rough patch that I faced in my life... this work of art (the tone, the lyrics, the music) is an unbelievably accurate portrayal of the helplessness I felt & the depressed state that I was trapped in for a while.
Thanks for sharing and thanks for watching😊👍
it was the first song I've ever heard of him. Its just unbelieveable how accurte this piece of art hits the emotion it trys to represent.
This song helped me understand what I was going through not too long ago. I thought I was suffering with Anxiety but this song forced me to think about it differently and realise more was going on than I realised (I was suffering with depression too); I genuinely believe the day I first heard this song is the day I started getting better. So important to understand what is happening in order to start to resolve it; NF puts this stuff into words better than any artist I've known.
This song saved my life and I used to listen to it on repeat every single day for nearly a year. I had the same childhood as NF. My mom died and left me all alone with an extremely abusive alcoholic father that didn’t care about my grief or my future. I had no real chance to be successful so I turned to boyfriends to fulfill that empty void inside and they took advantage and used me, and abused me as well. I had no siblings, no parents, no family. Still have no one and I feel paralyzed on a daily basis. This song means everything to me.
I'm sorry to hear that. Wish u all the best!
Helped me to, glad your here
God bless you. I know how you feel.
Hope you're doing better now, but just like u this song always helps get through stuff and I love it so much
I introduced my two sons to NF awhile ago. My 15 year old really attached himself to this song. He was diagnosed as early onset bipolar back in 2nd or 3rd grade. Lately when he’s really agitated at home he will play this song on repeat. Thanks for your insight on the song from your professional side.
I’ve been a huge NF fan for years, for so many reasons, but especially how honestly he deals with these difficult emotions. This particular song was extremely cathartic for me because of a struggle that I have had since I was a child. When I was around 12 I realized that I was in a very unsafe place in my home and I could only escape by shutting down my emotions. And so for years after that I felt nothing, emotionally and even physically to an extent. From that day on, even though I knew somethings wrong, I Could not cry to process my own pain. This song in particular meant so much to me, Because it touches on that very experience,I would listen to it over and over and over again and just ball my eyes out, and it seemed the only way that I could let my own grief out was to sing along to this song, Or other songs of his like it.
I have since been pursuing therapy and slowly healing, but his songs still touch a deep chord in my heart.
1st!!!😂😂😂
3rd😏
Yooo LOLOL this is amazing.
Lol
This song meant so much to me at one point. I didn't know anyone else at the time who struggled with severe depression. This song was so validating. It's like he somehow communicated everything I was feeling. The depersonalization, literally not feeling sensations, feeling like I had concrete tied to my limbs, and a mind that just stayed blank. Gosh. It just made me not feel so alone in something that was very scary and shameful to me at the time.
Love love love NF's music
It is such a pleasure to watch a Psychotherapist react to NF's song not only analysing the lyrics but having a deep interest in his person and his message. I have seen a lot of channels reacting to NF and honestly, you are one of a kind. Watching your content, seeing you inverted in his songs and message is really refreshing.
One of his MOST beautiful songs (there are so many)! The "heartbeat" beat just kills me every time.
PLEASE DO NF" HOW COULD U LEAVE US " and Nf " if u want love "
you definitly have to check out nf - how could you leave us (with original video), and nf- remember this
Congratulations on 10k! Well deserved, glad you’re growing!
Thanks so much Ross! It’s been so much fun the past 3 weeks!😊👍
try 26k!!! lol
Due to having an abusive family I listened to this song on repeat for two years because my depression hit so hard that I completely blocked everything out so this song was the only thing that related to me. I was paralyzed. Emotionless. If I let everything hit me then I was afraid that I would have gave up on life. I was afraid to lose my faith because I knew that if I did then nothing was holding me above the waters.
I know that feeling of wanting to be someone else. I get told by friends all the time and people, to just be myself but when I am I always get judged. It's to the point I'm always too scared to be myself anymore. Or open up. I'm usually cautious with everything I say now adays. Overly thinking about if people will think I'm annoying or being too weird. So I try to be someone I'm not, which makes it harder for me to approach people or socialize. Because I get so awkward and nervous around them. I relate so much to this song. Even with my other family, I'd get blamed for everything. Even now, it seems whatever I do, nothing is right. I could be thinking about making someone happy. Or buying something for someone, and people will turn it on me and instead of appreciating it or saying thank you. They'll nag me about it. why did you buy this when you could have bought us milk etc. If I try and fix something, people around me are always finding something new wrong.Your not working enough. Your not cleaning enough. I don't care if you have depression. I don't care if you have ptsd, you need to drive. etc. I'm always in that mood where even if I try, something new arises, and it just constantly pushes me down that ladder. It's funny how you can find music that relates so much to you.
Nf is single handedly the reason I'm here I have lived through his music since I heard from him counsoling don't work for me his music's like me talking to someone who gets it kid is a son of God
This song can be about that moment of denial mix with
the reality of a sudden loss that seems final as a loved one dying or
those you let down leave you to your own devices... also
I love the distant ominous lonesome 'quitting time' siren at the end
of the first verse... very effective.. ;)
Very nice take George! Thanks for always leaving comments😊👍
Definitely one of my favorites, which honestly isn't saying much because the majority of his songs are on my favorites list, I haven't found a song of his that I don't like or can't relate to. To be completely honest I barely got five seconds into this particular reaction before I teared up, I've been depressed and lost, searching for redemption for a number of years now and have still yet to find my way to even a modicum of happiness/contentment but NFs music has gotten me through some very tough times to say the least and it's hard to find a good RUclipsr that reacts and can appreciate/ actually comprehend the lyrics they're faced with from NF. ❤️❤️❤️
I think the minimalist lyrics, unvaried cadence, and less operatic production on this track really help push the theme.
For an artist who has shown so much range in other offerings, these deliberate choices almost make you feel stuck in the song. “Paralyzed.”
It’s a melodic tune, and builds and swells, but it really never drops like you expect it too. Just like in life sometimes you can be faced with a situation, and you’re not sure what to do, you think a resolution is coming, but it doesn’t. It can make you feel trapped or stuck. You might have to persevere a little longer…
I can’t wait until you get to the song “how could you leave us”
Thanks so much for the insightful take! I like it! Keep those comments coming!😊👍
I can't tell you how much this song hits home in my heart for me. I am in the midst of this right now. I was diagnosed with cancer in 2013, and had a bone marrow transplant to beat it, and beat it I did. After a few years, they declared me cured. During that time, my wife went back to work, and she got promoted several times, so she became our family's breadwinner. As a husband and a father, it's absolutely destroying me inside to have us in this situation. My brain no longer works like it used to. My creativity has dropped severely. My ability to pick things up has slowed considerably. I tried to learn programming to find a job that could bring her home, but I'm only mediocre at it. I started up a lawn care company to mow lawns, and found out I'm now allergic to grass due to the bone marrow transplant. Countless things happened.... and I'm paralyzed to change our lives. Not that our lives are "bad" but... who am I? Who have I become? I was a Sergeant of Marines. I was an electronics technician. I went to school to be a pastor and take a stand for God. My life has fallen apart, and I don't know how to put it back together. Who am I? Why don't I feel things I know I should? Why do I feel things I know I shouldn't? Ah... Why am I typing this now? What is tomorrow...
Loving the new name. And what a song to start with, one of the best of that album imo.
No kidding, thanks as always dextraa for following 😊👍
Love that you are reacting to NF songs! ‘Why Would You Leave Us’, ‘Intro III’, ‘The Search’, and ‘Leave Me Alone’ would be amazing songs to see you break down. Thanks for the awesome videos!
Loved your reaction! As I said in a past song you did this song means so much to me. Thank you for doing this one! Great reaction once again, Tom!
Thanks so much! I love doing it and I’m so grateful for you watching and commenting 😊👍
Love it. The first NF song I ever heard. Back in 2015.
I love the revamp, the new name and background/lighting feel a lot better!!
Thanks so much for the feedback! We are trying, learning as we go!👍
This song is practically a written description of what my depression feels like, so it's a very intimate song for me.
its so relaxing hearing you talk abt these subjects it makes me feel safe
Thank you so much! I’m having a blast watching and talking about these videos😊👍
He does an awesome job painting a picture and writes in an awesome metaphorical way, arguably one of the best. Unfortunately, he hits so much spot on for so many people that can’t write themselves.
Glad you found Nate. As someone who went to school for psychology, it would be fun to re visit some songs and maybe do a more in depth analysis and tell people why the artists may feel a certain way with different theories (repression, Horowitz trauma response etc.)
Love the channel so far, sir
When you said about the feeling of wanting to be someone else made me tear up a little.
Your videos are like an extension of the therapy I get from the music! Thank you so much for getting into these type of videos!
That’s a great compliment! Thanks so much! 😊👍
How could you leave us by NF, that song is so deep
Personally for me this is what has stopped me so many times from going farther into my depression. Even if I can't go any further I am at a point of recognition and acceptance that I'm hurting. I honestly cry cause it's like someone is finally understanding everything I've tried desperately to scream out. To tell anyone but no one could understand me.
This song... I have been through alot in my life, and one specific day I listened to this song non stop for 2 hours and cried my heart out...
What a great song. I’m glad the melody picked up. Great feedback on his words. And I love the new set up and name ☺️
Thank you Jacqui!😊👍
Tommee Profit (NF's best friend and producer) dropped a version of this with strings and piano only! Check out his you tube page.
Wow! This sounds amazing!!! Hope I can find it!😊👍
Nf may be a bit of sad music , but all of it , it’s my happiness because I know I’m not alone .
This is one of my fav songs by him. I watched your reaction to Hope and it made me go back to watch all your reactions of him because I suffer from PTSD and he really resonates with me so I like to see your analysis of his music
This along with your commentary brought me to tears. I have definately been here many times...that is why his song "Wake Up" was so mind blowing to me but this song too really speaks to me. Deppression always makes me feel that way. It's amazing how much I relate to him- we have so much in common!
I sent this to Nate when I needed to figure out how to deal with my TBI.
Another incredibly relatable song were he says little but speaks volumes
Hi there! This is the first time I have commented on a video I think, I love what you’re doing with this channel, and love to see that you’re growing. I see you do a lot of reactions to NF and Juice WRLD, if I may make a recommendation, the artist Phora has a lot to unpack in his music also! Keep up the great work :)
Love the rebrand!
Thanks Alex!😊👍
#NF - Love his voice in this. 😎
Thanks for a great reaction. Look forward to Your next NF reaction. Have a very 🎄🎁Merry CHRISTmas 🎀✝️ and a Blessed and Happy New Year! 🎉
Thanks so much Marty and same to you!!😊👍
I think is one of my favorite songs from him. It paints a Portrait of the struggle of depression and how he feels and trying to be what he was once was.
It resonates with me a lot.
I didn't like this song when I first heard it. I haven't been there for a long time... But the more I hear AND read the comments of broken people it moves me to see how this built bridges toward hope.
Awesome to see how fast you have grown Tom! Keep it up.
Thank you, time is flying by!😊👍
Fire reaction as always🔥🔥🔥
Thanks so much!😊
I would love to hear your perspective on "How Could You Leave Us." Probably Nate's best song ever. I can't watch the music video without crying.
Please do Sybyr - I wanted to die. He speaks about severe depression, PTSD, and Anxiety. I think He is an extremely underlooked artist and his music speaks volumes to the people who share the same views and struggles as him.
New fan here from your #22 video on the NF journey! Working my way back to your current stuff. Love the channel Tom!
I lost my girl bestfriend and she is the only one who always make me feel that feeling "happy" but my feelings left with her after she died.
congrats on 10k man
Thanks so much!!!👍
This is a song that everyone can relate to atleast 1 point in your lifetime, touches home for everyone :)
congrats for 10k🎉🎉
please do RICH AND BLIND by JUICE WRLD
Thank you so much! I have that song coming soon hopefully!😊👍
I’m proud to say I’ve been here before you blow up
I don't know how much I've been crying to this song...
Keep these up. I, and clearly everyone else are loving them!
Thanks so much! I’m loving it too! Appreciate your support!😊👍
I found this song years ago. It sounds cliche, but when my best friend killed himself I was walking around town listening so a “sad rap” mix on RUclips. This song came on and I broke down. I went and found the artist and that’s how I discovered NF, been my favorite artist ever since. Although, I don’t listen to this song much because I genuinely can’t without breaking down.
I wish you were my therapist right now. This song is my life for the last decade...
My fav NF song!
That is NF all over he is real with his emotions and feelings and is very brave to put this stuff out there what a guy rather than have people rapping about how many chicks they have pounded he chats about real life events in his own life
Subscribed! I love the way you break these down, every one of the videos I've seen has been on point! An odd recommendation, but worth it: Snuff by Slipknot.
I'm loving your reaction videos. Glass House by MGK is similar to some of these NF songs that would be interesting to see your opinion about. Keep up the great reactions!
Awesome, thanks for the suggestion and for watching!😊👍
Please try Lil Peep Star Shopping
Great reaction! Thanks
Thank you max!!!😊👍
love it!
im on a sad song binge cuz it helps i guess
I listen to that song everyday
This song get me in to NF and this reminds me of another rapper calls himself Mass Of Man he as a song called Feeling Low with a great line that goes
I never leave my room, because that's were I'm safe Mass Of Man as lots of depressed music you should check out
His songs are the most realistic and relatable song
Video idea? You should react to a NF concert, you'll be blown away by the effort he puts into his shows
One of my favorite tracks off of Mansion.
Lost in a moment is another good one
Love your Videos!
You should really have a look into some sad songs from XXXTentacion or Lil Peep.
Thank you for the amazing content you provide :)
Thanks so much for the comment and recommendations 😊👍
You should do "27 Club" by Juice WRLD
How has noone told you to listen to Therapy session by nf....
can you react to juice wrld "734" 15 minute version on youtube? the one that got later released is 3 minutes but is missing out soo many sad / deep verses the original 15 minute one had
You should do fast by Juice, great song
Also when you were talking about not being able to find yourself and living day by day is how I’ve been living for the past 4 years I’ve pushed everyone away and I don’t want to but I just can’t help it, I’m afraid but idk what I’m afraid of. If you think you can help me please
I don’t know how to talk about my feelings and it pushes people away
@@flankey3618 thanks for the comment. I would recommend finding someone in your area or someone virtually to talk with that is a professional. It’s hard to give that advice through these comments. It takes planning and being very aware of how you present yourself to other people and learning how to be more open and vulnerable and communicate with other people even though your feelings on the inside might not want you to.😊👍
@@ReactionTherapyOfficial yea I get that whenever it comes to talking to someone I just can’t speak like my mind goes blank and my tounge gets heavy and words just don’t come out
@@flankey3618 I know, it can be hard at first but keep trying and it can get better😊👍
Can you do I’m Sorry by Joyner Lucas? and I know you usually do lyric videos but I would recommend watching the music video for this song because it has a lot of meaning.
Thanks so much for watching and for the recommendation!👍😊
We call it the NF journey. It almost should be called the NF journal.
i like this song and also can you please do "You're My Everything" by Juice Wrld its my favourite
Also can't wait for you to do intro 3. A callback to mansion
If I was your patient I'd be the one you can't help .
you should react to pray by jdxn
Haven’t heard of that? Thanks for the suggestion 👍😊
As a group rape survivor this song hits so hard when it says when did I become ashamed.
NF is like Melanie Martinez both write songs about dark but real things its hard to listen at times but its inportant and would love to hear what you got to say about a Melanie video thanks
Please react to Juice wrld Rich and Blind

Would you ever do a video from a viewers music?
I think the lack of lyrics shows him in a paralyzed state. Like he doesn't care enough to have an opinion on anything.
