“Can’t Remain Afraid” literally changed my life path! I realized I was letting fear keep me in the same spot, so we literally moved out of state and building a life near my family in the south. Don’t let fear control your life!!
He's a struggling, emotional, empathetic soul like SO many of us. Personally, I'd rather be lumped in with Nate than a cold-hearted, unemotional human ... too many of those around us these days.
“I don’t get NF anymore…I get em.” Seeing your work through his tunes is the best. Thanks for the genuine reactions. No skips, all good songs…every 👏🏼 single 👏🏼 one 👏🏼
I’m mid-binge…started last night, into this morning. I’m gonna take this whole journey with you. Love that you’re in it and figuring it out. Excited to see if you go all the way back to the work. And we all need a hug:)
Nate is a very deep and self aware individual man, one of the most appreciated thing about NF is that he can project his feelings through a song exactly the way he wanted us to feel it, not a lot of artists do that nowadays.
Loved such a genuine reaction. For me It feels like The first part of the song is nate drifting through his feelings trying to sort them out and then the last part is a raw out pouring of him giving voice to the conclusion he has come to.
No doubt. You explained exactly what I felt when I first listened to it. This song had TONS of emotion. He just pulls you along, has you drifting, hanging onto every word, then End.
That ending reminds me of the arm coming out of the grave in the ending of Carrie and grabing the listener by the hand to pull you back in.... POWERFUL!
NF has built a following because he touches so much on inner emotion and dealing with mental illness and trauma. Start with mansion album and listen all the way through. It’s a lot and connects with so many of us.
This song was so good in concert! It brought tears to my eyes through the whole song. He gives us so much to think about in this one. I had to listen to this one 10 x's in order to really get it! #masterpiece
This song is so unique. And he really puts you in his head. Makes you feel like you’re drifting through the song the whole time as he tells you what it’s like when he’s drifting. The end part to me really gets you in your head with the piano and then he snaps you out of it. The only way he feels he can snap out of his own rut, aggressive change. It’s a crazy concept, done incredibly well. Awesome reaction!
No skips on the mixtape, it’s so good, can you imagine what his album will be like? Can’t wait for his album when it does drop, I need a tour soon! Great reaction! #NFRealMusic His early stuff, if you go on the journey he always can express his emotions and feelings and all fan’s know him because he talks about OCD, anxiety, depression, NF gets better and better with every album and all his albums are connected to each other like a long story! Fan’s relate to NF thru there own experiences in life, he puts his heart on his sleeve and that is why we love him, all his new music has all his heart but it surrounded in confidence and swag, he always has a meaningful message in bag! Going on the NF journey is so important in learning who NF is, I enjoy your NF reactions! Keep it going!
ayo when you said "we gonna be going through the entire nf journy after this mixtape so make sure you sub", that was what had me push that red button. Just wanted to comment and let you know that you doing good on the call-outs, good marketing.
If I may, this is about as close as I can describe what having anxiety/depression combined with trauma surrounding neglect and abuse trauma. You disassociate so badly sometimes it’s almost like an out of body experience. Almost like you’re in an aquarium watching the world around you, and sometimes you can’t separate events going on in the present and the memories that just take hold and don’t let go. His four bars at the end is that moment where you’re fighting-as hard as you can, sometimes with EVERY bit of energy you can muster to come up for air and rejoin the present.
"That was the most aggressive prayer I have ever heard" 🤣 I just cracked up, I have never thought of it that way and I have listened to this song a hundred times. But NF really is angry praying lmao
Enjoying your reactions to NF.... He is one of a kind. He also puts on a great live concert. I took my daughter to see him a few months ago.... it was a great evening for sure. Keep up the great reactions.
His wish is to feel safe but he feels like his wish of feeling safe won’t be heard. So he’s convinced himself that feeling safe is all together unrealistic. Also the ending! It’s him fighting every thought and negative feeling he described through the song. It’s like we all feel down and can relate to his emotions. At the end though he decides to fight back all those thoughts giving us the motivation to break free from our dark thoughts that keep us “drifting” through life NF IS DEEP! 😮😢
“Can’t remain afraid.” The last line of this song… so powerful. Folks need to take a look into their lives, into their own space. If fear is preventing you from fulfilling your purpose, then you have to take a stand and banish it from your space. NF helped me to realize that and to take action instead of just daydreaming about it. His message is powerful because he is living his destiny. Love the reactions man! Looking forward to more….
It’s a mixtape 📼 lol a dang good mixtape I swear these are just lil get you by songs to chew on til the full album comes out it’s gonna be a BANGER 🔥 masterpiece
Bro just came across your channel , I was just bored rewatching some people on RUclips react to NF and you popped up . Now I'm binge watching your playlist .
Sometimes we relate sad with just real feelings. We reminded some people just go through more harsh things than others. God usually uses those people. Love NF
New subscriber for your NF journey. No joke, NF is a YT career maker. I saw another reactor on here that got 3 Million Insta views because of NF. This is conniseur music. His double and triple entendres, allegory, personification, symbolism, and cinematography is genius. Legitimately. I'm here for the ride bro. I'll guide you through NF, since I've been with him since day one and met him twice. 🔥🔥🔥
OML we think so alike! I get worried about NF too like how he is mentally cause I'm empathetic but this song at the end lyrically, I had mixed emotions too and holyyyy I got scared the first time hahaha. As always, mad respect to you for being genuine when listening to NF
I always took the line “grab the needle shoot reminders in my veins that people leave you “ is the meaning of tattooing someone snake into your skin because they were so real to you and it’s just a phase they leave and your stuck with this reminder of them and how they left
This is unironically, imo, between every album i know by heart.. this song is the most REAL, for only him.. i feel hes been making so much relatable music thats caused this following #nfrealmusic but, i feel like this one, esp being on his mixtape, is meant to be HIS song.. the ending doesnt even sound like it had a second take bc hiw raw it is.. his voice even cracks at the last word. Nate is a Tragic, Beautiful gift and HE NEEDS to understand this. The mind is a powerful place.. Nate will always be rooted in pain.. thats his reality. I just hope he cherishes the beautiful moments he can have mentally calmly with his new babe and wife. They deserve everything. ❤️ Nate will never be “ok”.. hes had a traumatic life he shares if you do the journey.. you will never have a experience even remotely close in your life, i swear. He will never be okay. But hes never going to stop trying to fight. He’s def unique.. bc his brain is. He is a broken man, so are many of us die hard supporters.. bc we drift together.. get angry.. frustrated.. and fight together. And im so grateful for his community and being able to be part of his entire uprise from being 10 feet down.. and to the clouds..
So I was re-listening to NF Drifting … and realized when he says "unknown SOUNDS" he might mean sounds in the nautical term: In nautical terms, the word sound is used to describe the process of determining the depth of water OR In geography, a sound is a smaller body of water typically connected to larger sea or ocean… especially since he says "drifting… watching the world go round"
"I see you in the distance Askin' me why I'm so distant, I'm convicted I'm convinced that I predict that all my wishes on my wish list won't be heard 'Cause I'm committed to the lie that feeling safe is unrealistic When I'm driftin'" Whole paragraph is a bar with bars inside the bars nf is real music if you aint figured it out yet the real stands for real music he speaks what he feels keep following you'll understand but you have to start at the beginning
It’s time that you start the journey beginning with Mansion on his first album by the same name. You will understand where he is coming from so much more. We’re here for it bro!
NF is the strongest rapper there is. Vulnerability = strength Is he ok? He's definitely struggling with the demons of his childhood. First time I heard the song the ending completely caught me off guard and scared the crap out of me
I don’t think all songs are sad.. but yes he does have songs like this. it’s definitely thought provoking and introspective but that’s why his logo is real music because he raps what’s real to him and it’s a lot about mental health.. mixtape is definitely different and it doesn’t really align with the NF journey. It will all make sense as you start the journey. Like he said hie’s a puzzle with missing pieces.. each album is a piece and we fans love to connect it and make sense of it all .. it’s definitely a roller coaster but it’s a fun and worthy journey .. here for it!
Yea it's the only verse of all his songs I can't get lol. I know the words but honestly I think him having OCD is what has allowed him to be able to pit verses like thst because his thoughts come that fast. I can't do it though. Lol. Reminds me if the last verse of Leave me along when he does theater word rhyme scheme, I know it I just can't spit it out lol
You really should listen to "Nate" from The search, it's a very heavy one but will give u a lot of perspective on some of the things he has been through
You started at the end with the mixtape. You'll get it in the journey. Fun fact about this song... The song was done but something didn't feel right or finished about the song. So Nate added the humming abd the verse at the end love that you called it a prayer. This song isn't sad it's Real and Raw. It's so different because Nste isn't loke other artists. Watching Nste kill this song LIVE and he killed the last verse! I still can't rap the end yet lol. Break down that verse though because it's so deep.
Don't do paid my dues bc that song was originally put out after the search album and then he added it to the mixtape so it's better to do it after the search bc there's some articles you have to read to then react to the song to better understand on why he did that
Great reaction my brother just remember do not listen to pay my dues until after the search and you should really read the Rolling Stone article before that also
FIRE reaction!!! My son and I had to laugh at the way you reacted to the end, lol
Haha!! 😂 I was so sad
@@DonVon his videos are like short movies but the sequel doesn't come fast enough
“Can’t Remain Afraid” literally changed my life path! I realized I was letting fear keep me in the same spot, so we literally moved out of state and building a life near my family in the south. Don’t let fear control your life!!
Do it scared.
Love this. NF has helped so many of us.
I literally got that tattoed on my arm bc its such a good message even if it is 3 words
With NF you gotta pause. All his shit is so deep and connects together. I'm excited for the journey. You'll learn so much about him. Fire my guy.
I’m ready!
I can say NF saved my life I’ve been a fan since Mansion his music isn’t just music it’s therapy
No pun intended
Haha
Yep I knew his uncle who is a pastor that’s how I met him
@@burrman7740 supposedly KJ52 knows him very well and I met him a few times and hung out with him
@@lithuanianavgeek1612 who kj or his uncle?
He's a struggling, emotional, empathetic soul like SO many of us. Personally, I'd rather be lumped in with Nate than a cold-hearted, unemotional human ... too many of those around us these days.
Women are the worst about pretending to care. They’ll pretend to care simply for attention and affirmation.
“I don’t get NF anymore…I get em.” Seeing your work through his tunes is the best. Thanks for the genuine reactions. No skips, all good songs…every 👏🏼 single 👏🏼 one 👏🏼
Just binged your NF reactions. So good man, appreciate all these for real.
I literally am doing this now. Great reactions and I’m learning so much about NF that I didn’t know before through the comments.

You called it a prayer. It’s literally mine. I have the last part hanging up on my wall in my office. 🖤
Loved such a genuine reaction. For me It feels like The first part of the song is nate drifting through his feelings trying to sort them out and then the last part is a raw out pouring of him giving voice to the conclusion he has come to.
This is my favorite Song from clouds! I love the change of flows! And that ending….🔥
He is the real deal.... he feels every song and it shows...🖤
No doubt. You explained exactly what I felt when I first listened to it. This song had TONS of emotion.
He just pulls you along, has you drifting, hanging onto every word, then
End.
That ending reminds me of the arm coming out
of the grave in the ending of Carrie and grabing
the listener by the hand to pull you back in....
POWERFUL!

when this song comes up after paralyzed I feel some type of way fr like bruh!!
Great reaction! “Most aggressive prayer”, loved that!
"That was the most aggressive prayer I have ever heard"

Enjoying your reactions to NF.... He is one of a kind. He also puts on a great live concert. I took my daughter to see him a few months ago.... it was a great evening for sure. Keep up the great reactions.
The whole song feels like ur drifting till the last line where u finally wake up

I can not wait for him to react to "How can you leave us" one of my favorites songs. Your reactions are fire!! Love the ending!!
“I’m all over the place with this” said EVERY RealMusic fan
E. V. E. R. !!!
One of my favorite NF songs!!!
“I don’t drugs, I’m addicted to the pain, though.”
Yeah
I've been on it for a while
Don't know how to put it down
Gotta have it
it's a habit Imma break though

Definitely my favorite song. Makes you feel like you are drifting as you said. Truly is a masterpiece
FACTS (this is a masterpiece, that ending.....)
That's how I felt when it ended for real 😂 Love your reactions ❤
Your frustration at the end killed me 😂
Sometimes we relate sad with just real feelings. We reminded some people just go through more harsh things than others. God usually uses those people. Love NF
Yes, definitely a creation!

Wait until you get to the search l.p. and before that, it's all just real life tracks..NF is LEGENDARY!! Remember This
I literally replayed it and had a "WAIT. WHAT. HOLY SHIT HE'S GOING OFF. 🔥ending." *instant replay and try to learn the song*
I am here with you man for the second run through... hang in there until your done. Stay unique yourself.
I can't wait to see how you react to the journey. I'm here for it.
Dope. All around. Song, reaction, the feeling at the end shared by all of us. Excellent work.
“I don’t do drugs, ok addicted to the pain though.”
know every word to this song
Love the emotion Bro!!
New sub but I really enjoy you breaking down the lines the way you do. Keep grinding 💪💯
NF is the next rap god🔥🔥🔥
He go crazy
I loved this song the first time I heard it because it’s so unique
Man the best reaction i watch 🥳👍😎😁🙌🇵🇱
Love homie 🤙🏽
No no no no no no no no no no no no no how am I going to skip this ad “chitty chitty bang bang” 🤣
NF is the unquestioned king of Self Reflection tracks.
😂 The switch up on the ending. Looking forward to you going through the NF Journey!
😂😂😂😂😂😂 My Boy Going Crazyyyy !!
The ending goes with the title I feel, because you're just drifting because you think its done then bamm he just brings you right back
You haven't started yet with the sadness lol. The journey explains everything
p.s. ... LOVED your "scrambling" analogy re: the end of the song. Brilliant and dead on!!
Very appreciated!
"i am an artist, look what i painted" NF intro 1
He says "if healing makes you the strong, then I'm the weakest."
So I was re-listening to NF Drifting … and realized when he says "unknown SOUNDS" he might mean sounds in the nautical term: In nautical terms, the word sound is used to describe the process of determining the depth of water OR In geography, a sound is a smaller body of water typically connected to larger sea or ocean… especially since he says "drifting… watching the world go round"
You should check out the live concert version of this. The crowd sings along and leads the chorus.
My favorite on the mixtape
"I see you in the distance
Askin' me why I'm so distant, I'm convicted
I'm convinced that I predict that all my wishes on my wish list won't be heard
'Cause I'm committed to the lie that feeling safe is unrealistic
When I'm driftin'"
Whole paragraph is a bar with bars inside the bars nf is real music if you aint figured it out yet the real stands for real music he speaks what he feels keep following you'll understand but you have to start at the beginning
It’s time that you start the journey beginning with Mansion on his first album by the same name. You will understand where he is coming from so much more. We’re here for it bro!
I’m only subbing for NF, great reactions
Uh thanks…? Lol
Fire!
He doesn't take drugs or curse in any of his music. He's got addiction in his family so he's afraid to even drink a beer. He's been through hell.
You: bro that ain't the while so-
The song: you're right
I hope you do How Could You Leave Us but it's a REALLY tough one, emotionally. And The Search is pure 🔥
NF is the strongest rapper there is. Vulnerability = strength
Is he ok? He's definitely struggling with the demons of his childhood.
First time I heard the song the ending completely caught me off guard and scared the crap out of me
What headphones are those?? Great reaction btw!

If you listen to his earlier albums you hear more about how he feels and what he's been through
Mate if this hit you different just wait till you start the journey! Some powerful words and feelings
I’m ready! Stay tuned
My man 🙌🏻🙌🏻
He's got depression and anxiety really bad and when he had his breakdown found out he had OCD
He didn't end the song he's basically saying there is still more he has to say...
You HAVE to react to How could you leave us by NF that song is ESSENTIAL
Before the journey or during??
This is my favorite song on the mixtape! First song I learned word for word minus the ending, I just can't get it 😆
Yea it's the only verse of all his songs I can't get lol. I know the words but honestly I think him having OCD is what has allowed him to be able to pit verses like thst because his thoughts come that fast. I can't do it though. Lol. Reminds me if the last verse of Leave me along when he does theater word rhyme scheme, I know it I just can't spit it out lol

You started at the end with the mixtape. You'll get it in the journey.
Fun fact about this song...
The song was done but something didn't feel right or finished about the song. So Nate added the humming abd the verse at the end love that you called it a prayer. This song isn't sad it's Real and Raw. It's so different because Nste isn't loke other artists. Watching Nste kill this song LIVE and he killed the last verse! I still can't rap the end yet lol. Break down that verse though because it's so deep.
The second voice that says “insignificant” towards the end, is Satan. Any time you hear that voice in his songs, is Satan talking to him.
Thank you, I learned something new today.
Wow.. that’s .. crazy
