  • I know many have been waiting for this one, and this one was a really hard video to watch for us. Even though I have seen this multiple times, it's hard listening to it and experiencing it with my wife for the first time. NF has gone through something that most will not have to but has a way of singing that relates to most people. I know it has helped me immensely throughout the years! Please show NF some love!

    You’ve really got to check out one of his latest songs ‘Mama’ now. It’s a complete change of perspective from Nate as he’s grown up and a father himself now. He forgives his mum now

      It should wait... things are a process. You need to listen to the things leading up to it. That what makes a story a story. Just like reading a book, you read the chapters in order.

    This is the hardest of NF's songs, his cry at the end always breaks me, especially because I know it's real. I read the fans' comments and from what I remember, in the last part NF told everyone to leave the studio,he wants to be alone.
    You made it, you got through the song, I know it wasn't easy, thank you for your reactions, always appreciate you guys❤

    He had just turned 18 as his birthday is March 31. She died before he graduated High School that year. If you listen to Nate on the clouds album it tells you some of the crazy things his mom did and how his father had to take them from her because of her addiction. So when he says in this song when he says that she would call and say that she was coming to get them and then wouldn’t show up and he was humiliated, in the song Nate it cleared up some of the questions. The song Mama in the Hope album shares how he’s forgiven her after going through therapy and I believe trusting in God.

    I love the fact that the next song on the album was so upbeat!!
    Once you're past TS the albums are not as painful. Very healing and good to see growth. But too many people don't deal with the past but try to push on and ignore the trauma. I know from personal experience, it only leads to more pain for you and others around you. Thank God for ИF & for the Holy Spirit who is the Great healer!

    Out of every song that NF has put up this one has resonated with me to a degree that I cannot play it in public without bursting in tears for both the duration of the song and a good long while after. My own mother grew up addicted to drugs (both illegal and legal), alcohol, and so much more. Between being taken away at such an early age as 3 or 4 and being placed with a semi neglecting family relative due to my own mental issues at the time of co depenence and a violent unhealthy attachment to my baby sister we were placed with them. I only was in this family for a few years (5 if memory and paperwork shows true) and while I grew ties with family there and neighbors ultimately I was removed because my Aunt, at the time, finally was able to temporarily adopt my baby sister, until she decided at a young age of 5 to be with said abusive aunt (she told me in her adult years she regrated that decision as as she grew up she was abused) where as she stated to the state I wasn't wanted. My attachment to my sister was at the time unhealthy but also I remember knowing she was 'all I had left'. I barely remembered my older sister, who was placed in a loving family member's household, and didn't remember anything about my mother (no father at the time except either drug addicted boyfriends/drug sellers). That day still is etched into my memory because I never was able to say goodbye to my little sister that day. It happened shortly after my birthday, if I remember right, and I only had a suitcase that I was able to take with me. Many of the gifts I got I wasn't able to take except for the clothing. This song represents so much that I lost and so many memories of being separated from other children, other human contact at such a young age, that made me grow violent as a child to a young adult. Thanks to the group homes, institutions, and other things that happened before being placed back with my family in a span of two years, where only one adult actually advocated for me in a group home due to abuse by the 'manager' of the place, they own it and visit but leave the caring to the caretakers, that impacted me than others I never felt 'I belonged' or was 'loved'. I knew I had family but I knew they abandoned me. My Aunt, I only learned later in my adult life, gave up custody of me because of my violent outburst, and didn't realize that I had so much respect and love for her until I saw her leaving me behind. When I finally was back with family, my older sister, younger sister (for short periods until she wanted back with her at them moment temporary 'adopted parents' to go back to them) and I was stable. I felt i belonged again, I felt wanted. The whole 'humiliation' that NF talks about when his mother doesn't come to see him or pick him up is something I grew up with. I remember having to walk with my mother from her work, where I would stay in corner helping her restock the gas station, to her rehab group home. Sometimes even having random people at night 'picking' us up to drive us home. I grew up, after she was released, visiting drug dens and being involved in drug raids. Being driven home by police or handcuffed because I was violent watching my stoned mother being hauled out by police with a line of other 'kind', at the time they always were to me, drug co-horts. I remember being taught how to cook by people coming to the house expecting money from her but instead would buy 'her' children she left without food 'food'. I remember one person, so completely gone to the drugs, look at me and state 'I'm too friendly and trusting' to 'his kind'. By the time I was 7 all I knew was 'her' addiction, 'her' abandonment, and 'my' fear of losing the only family I had which turned into another, more deadly version, of co-dependance with my older sibling who was returned to my mother instead of to the family who 'took her' before. I won't deny there were good memories, good family events, loving grandparents and uncles, but even though they knew what was happening and where things were going it was only when she returned to prison that we were 'taken in' but never to a degree that felt like we were 'family'. They were that 'person' in the corner watching us but they never 'did' anything. As an adult I know my family is messed up, I know now just how much I lost and how much I'll never gain. It wasn't until 'Happy' that another song hit me hard like this one. I've lost so much in my life. I've grown unhealthy attachments and had people, those I were attached to also, destroy what made me safe/loved/wanted that I turned my 'dependent' self to food because drugs(painpills even for things even a doctor tells me I need to take them for) scare the living daylights out of me.
    Whatever happens to me, whatever happens now or in the future, I'm terrified of it but I know I've lived through something most haven't. I've seen things that most wouldn't, grew up in situations that mentally most would be horrified by and/or disgusted by from both family to 'friends' I've had. In recent years I've distanced myself from it all, I've worked on forgiving those who deserve it, but I know I haven't yet gotten to the point I can 'heal' myself. Why? I'm scared. My 'Mansion' has kept me stable because my 'stable' is what everyone in my family in the past has demanded I be for 'them'. I've never been able to grieve, even to a therapist because I've been shot down for 'crying' in front of them that it's 'not allowed' which has made me see them so negatively now, for my baby sister I lost, for my older sister who suffered with me later in life, for my childhood I had to abandoned so I could protect my older sister from everything, from losing my father i barely started to learn 'who' he was after a year of finding him, and to my grandfather who made such an impact on my life that I wasn't able to be there at the end of his life.
    Sorry for trauma dumping. I just want to state that out of all 'reaction videos' I've watched yours is the only one I feel is genuine and actually 'expresses' things in a sense that is real not 'therapy talk' or 'ohh music' way. You're healing and you're growing and improving and that is why I want to state: 'Never stop moving forward because that is where the light always is in front of you'. We grow, improve, and are strong from our past. We have cracks, we have moments of weakness, and we have moments we need a helping hand but we are strong and oh so loved.

      Wow what a powerful story! I feel so honored that you would feel comfortable to share that with us. I (VeteranLady) just want to reach out and give you the longest hug. I cannot imagine the trauma and hurt and pain you have had to endure, and at such a young age. It breaks my heart! And to hear you never felt like you could open up and just release those emotions, even at therapy…that just astounds me, that should have been the place where you could let everything out without judgement. I’m so sorry to hear you had to go through that! I Can relate to some extent to that feeling, and made to feel weak or that something is wrong with me for crying or releasing emotion.
      One of the things that I have found to help a lot for me is going to the Lord, sometimes I get the feeling like why would He want to hear me complain and cry about things or “I made this mess so I don’t have the right to be sad “ etc…. But those are lies from the pit of hell, and EVERYTIME I decided to trust God to be there without judgement, He has always provided a safe place for me to yell and complain, cry and whine…anything and I always feel better. It’s a powerful time and it’s helped me stay grounded to a point, amidst all the self doubt, self depreciation and judgment. I will be praying for you my dear that you find that healing for yourself and forgiveness for others.
      It takes courage to tell your story on such an open platform and we are so grateful you decided to open up! There are people out here rooting for you! You are stronger than you think, keep taking it one day at a time. We appreciate you!

    This one tears me apart every single time! I've probably heard it 200 times and it still gets me. Now go watch "Mama" and you'll see his growth and the grace he gives his mother now. He wrote HCYLU from a kids pov. "Mama" is from a more mature, understanding, empathetic Nate. I have watched all of Nate's interviews that I could find. He said in one of those interviews that through therapy and just maturing he has forgiven her. Now go react to "Mama" next 👍🏻
    Much love you two❣️🙏🏼

    I believe she died when Nate was 18, shortly after high school. The last part of the video with him just talking, he told everyone to leave the studio and he just sat and talked to her for a while. This is what they ended up keeping and adding to the song.

    The thing about time passing is that if you never got a real answer in the first place , you can only make up answers whenever you think about it , anytime the question comes up again your back in the same spot because nothing ever really got answered or taken care of to help the healing portion of the process

Sometimes all you can do is do you best and sometimes, when that isn’t enough you call out to God to help you get through it, face it and heal.
