NF is one of my all time favorite artists. He is so raw and emotional in his songs. This song is from his latest album “Hope”, which is all about him moving on from his pain and old self. His song “Happy” from the same album was actually what finally convinced me that I needed to go to therapy. It’s so powerful! You should also check out “How Could You Leave Us” to understand more of his story and the hurt he’s been living in. All of his songs are good though. Definitely enjoyed this reaction!
This is my favorite all time song. I battled with depression and addiction and NF has helped me through my recovery journey. This song is exactly how I feel towards alcohol
THIS SONG MAKES ME CRY EVERYTIME.. HITS HOME SO MUCH, MORE THAN ANY OTHER NF SONG , I CRIED AT THE CONCERT.. DAMN... SO HARD.. SO GOOD.. LOVE THIS SONG..
This song was the last song on his current album, Hope. When you’ve been thru the NF journey and you’re intimately aware of and connected to it, this song, as the culmination of it all, is so incredible, and so perfect.
There's a really deep sense of deep self-empathy. In Nate's earlier music, his relationship with those self-destructive aspects of himself was a typical one of fighting against that aspect of himself. Hating it, wanting to bury it in the backyard, wanting to reject it and take his life back and loathing that aspect that was affecting his life. And with maturity and growth and hard work on himself, he's come to ACCEPT those aspects of himself. He can acknowledge, and accept, that side of himself, he can empathize with it, appreciate how it served him in the past. But also, how he needs to move forward, and like friends we've grown away from, it's ok to sometimes move on, and say goodbye and wish them well. I love that the aspects of loathing of his "darker self" are gone, and it's been replaced with empathy. Because those aspects are ALSO him. It's really powerful to see someone start to figure that out (I'm still working on it myself). That, combined with the beautiful production and Nate's talent for making a soulful touching song just brings it all home.
You could almost say this was the last episode of season six of his Journey‼️ From the beginning to now there were so many insights into mental health. Major Trauma until he's found HOPE. 💔❤️🩹♥️
This was fantastic!!! You guys need to do more NF! I know everyone will chime in and say you need to do the journey. If you want to see the entire NF arc, go for it, it’s awesome! But, he has a HUGE discography and I’ve seen many great reactors get overwhelmed and write it off. So, if the whole journey is too much to commit to, I suggest the list below in order (IMO): Mansion Therapy Session How could you leave us Intro III Let you down The Search Leave me alone I hate myself Change Hope Happy Mama Mistake Running (Already done) I’m sure others will chime in with their favorites, these are mine. :)
Speaking as a fellow LPC/LMHC, NF's music is truly an emotional journey. His discography is a glimpse into the life of a person whose traumas early in life led to the depths created by anxiety and relational dysfunction as a result of fear and anger. This journey took him through the desolation of utter despair to the point where he is now where he at least has the promise of hope. Through his music he has an amazing ability to connect with the listener on an emotional level. I use a lot of his music in my counseling work to resonate with topics such as forgiveness, anxiety, hope, and grief. I would love to see a deep dive into the NF journey, but if not, he still has some powerful songs worth listening to. Thanks for covering Running, which is the pinnacle of his music catalogue, and thus his emotional journey, to date.
Subbed for more NF! Every song is dope. Don't worry, some of NF's best songs don't have videos. We don't mind if there isn't a video, unless NF has an official video which you always want to watch. Now that is how you are supposed to do a reaction to an NF song! We want to see you connect to the song!
There's so much weight to the message of this song. I recognize and will remember what I have been through and who I have been till now, but I choose to lay it down and be at peace. It feels like a painful yet peaceful and freeing thank you.
To me I picture the comfort of the confines of a cacoon... we have now entered that moment of saying goodbye to the familiar and 'safe space' of our known existence up to this point and then?.... comes the faith to know that our wings will soon unfold and dry to the stage of that first attempt to flap these new wings of freedom but also risking the flight into the unknown that leads us to more risk while multiplying the reward of the joy in the journey we have left on this time line.... ;)
Probably one of the best reaction channels out there. You just seem to understand NF and don't need to overthink in order to understand him and that means you have something inside of you that needs healing. I guess alot of us do. Respect 💙
This is definitely my favorite song from this album 🤍 also Happy by NF is definitely worth listening to as well. His music resonates with me so much it has help me through my depression. I went to his concert last year it was amazing and I’m going again this year i really can’t wait 🤍
Since the album dropped, I use this song to help me stay grounded when life gets chaotic. I can manage my life when I get out of my own way. Love the NF reactions. I love how he has purpose and meaning to his art.
My perspective on this song is that it's about acceptance. Nf has gone through a long journey battling and dodging regret. He has quite a few songs, that try to motivate him to overpower these feelings. But it never works. Running is not about saying goodbye to the dark depressive parts of his past. It is about accepting his history and the parts of him he dislikes, as part of himself. It is saying goodbye to the dodging and avoidance of those emotions so he can feel whole again and learn to love himself as he is.
What a song to start with! You got to listen to him for the first time in a song what he’s singing for and not rapping. The first time I heard him on a song was with him featuring as the chorus and he was singing. Then my next experience of NF was through the song Mansion.. My jaw hit the floor!
Saying goodbye to depression he’s been going through and at the end it sounds like he’s saying that he’s gonna be gone for a while like retired a while so he can spend time with his wife and son 😢
It look like his decision to move on, and tske the decision to have more positivr mindset, is coming from peace ,not anger anymore, acceptance ,i will take control of my life.
This song I feel like it can be targeted to more than just ones self directly. Could be a relationship with many things. Twist is it ties back to one’s self. Can be difficult to explain well. But NF has ways to get many hooked in a good way.
nf is genuinely a very good artist, many will say he is corny or whatnot, but he is an amazing rapper and singer and an amazing composer as you can see from his other songs
I absolutely love NF and do not want to take away from this video by commenting about another artist, but I don’t know where to go to make song suggestions other than in the comments. 🙈 Renee Rapp - Snow Angel and I Wish (please react! You will not regret!) As a fellow mental health professional, thank you for this act of inclusion and making mental health discussions more accessible.
100% need to keep up with NF, Happy will be a fantastic listen and reaction... if you want to get real deep then listen to his personality change between "How Could You Leave Us" and "Mama" after growing with the loss of his mother
If you're a sucker for emotional ballads you should listen to louis dunford ballad of benjamin it'll be a ride and based on a real moment of the singers life
You should totally jump into the band " Twenty One Pilots"! Their whole music catalog deals with a lot of mental health aspects and just trials and tribulations of life and how to get through much like NF! Like, just start from the beginning; they're great and you won't be disappointed!
You don’t find NF, NF finds you! That being said, PLEASE react to more NF, start at the beginning! With The Search or even further with Mansion. It’s called The NF Journey.
This is the last page of a very long novel. His "journey" will change your life. Please react to as many as you can in order. Look up NF journey in proper order.
Yeah this is a tough one. Listened to the album a couple times right away and after sitting with this track for a bit, it actually became one that I would avoid. Has to be close to a year since then, still avoiding it, honestly not sure if I will or if I even should push play now.
i dont understand why this was shown / suggested as such an early reaction consindering this is literally his last / closing song of the last album, even if you provide a little "context " as mentioned its not enough to fully get the song and the actual growth behind it imo
Because we are a team of 2 ppl who work full time jobs and are just getting introduced to NF so we don’t have that background until understanding early commenters kindly shared the information and suggestion. Just a couple humans trying new things, we don’t promise it will be perfect, we promise it will be real.
This song is relating to me going through a divorce that I’m beginning to file this year. This song is about my to be soon ex wife. Good bye. I wish you well. ♥️💔💔💔💔💔💔💔❤️🩹
My therapist and I sat down last week and I shared this song with her. We discussed it and broke it down and then she had the idea that I should add my own images to it. I can't describe how powerful it was to do that. I would love if you watched the song with my video added to it. To me it is definitely about breaking free from that relationship with my warped self before therapy. There's also a reconnecting with my childhood self mixed in. I would love if you gave it a watch or did a reaction video to my fan made version of this song! I left the link to it on my UA-cam below ua-cam.com/video/dNHTpgVZf88/v-deo.html
Iow, if you are constantly running away from each other, how can you possibly connect? And “society” justifies cowardess by constantly lowering the bar.
Story time: After a couple signs ppwk for a divorce, there used to be a finalization waiting period called a “cool off period”. It was implemented to counteract future regret. Then they even got rid of that. Now you can get divorced and a happy meal via drive thru and the ink is dry before the burger is even cooked. It’s really sad to think about how easy they’ve made it to implicitly sin with no remorse or consequences. How can differences be reconciled if never given the chance?
It seems like everyone just bottles up their suffering until the lid pops off. I know I did. Then I stopped torturing myself because of other people’s actions. You are responsible for your own well being, whether that’s physical or emotional.
Real men, those who dont have time, energy, or money for therapy. We dont want to hear about therapy being beneficial if its not available to everyone.

Best song on the album
THIS SONG MAKES ME CRY EVERYTIME.. HITS HOME SO MUCH, MORE THAN ANY OTHER NF SONG ,
I CRIED AT THE CONCERT.. DAMN... SO HARD.. SO GOOD.. LOVE THIS SONG..
The "I appreciate all you've been able to help me accomplish, but I can't keep doing this" message of this song really hits.
This song was the last song on his current album, Hope. When you’ve been thru the NF journey and you’re intimately aware of and connected to it, this song, as the culmination of it all, is so incredible, and so perfect.

Mansion
Therapy Session
How could you leave us
Intro III
Let you down
The Search
Leave me alone
I hate myself
Change
Hope
Happy
Mama
Mistake
Running (Already done)
I’m sure others will chime in with their favorites, these are mine. :)
Great list, I would add 'Nate' to that before Hate Myself
I bawl every time I hear this song, even though I've heard it hundreds of times

So well said.
next reaction NF-'Happy' or 'Mistake' please :)

Who’s “we” …. Do you speak for the majority 😂
@@Desmond.TuTu.the NF mafia of course, where there is a reaction, the mafia ain’t far behind
There's so much weight to the message of this song. I recognize and will remember what I have been through and who I have been till now, but I choose to lay it down and be at peace.
It feels like a painful yet peaceful and freeing thank you.
Pls do more NF! Mansions is where i started Happy has been on my constant rotation lately
Amazing!

🔥🔥🔥🔥
As a therapist you should do NF - Therapy Session
Adding to the list ☺️
Hoping for more NF reactions🙏🏽
NF has really helped me go through the worst times in my life, I didn't feel so alone anymore listening to his music
I love this song so much
I’m sure that you’re a very good therapist. You have a gift for insight AND communication.
Thank you! Your comment means a lot, especially when some nasty ones sneak in. Your kindness is appreciated!
Probably one of the best reaction channels out there. You just seem to understand NF and don't need to overthink in order to understand him and that means you have something inside of you that needs healing. I guess alot of us do. Respect 💙
Amazing song and an artist with some of the most relatable lyrics to a lot of people.
This is definitely my favorite song from this album 🤍 also Happy by NF is definitely worth listening to as well. His music resonates with me so much it has help me through my depression. I went to his concert last year it was amazing and I’m going again this year i really can’t wait 🤍
Tell you one thing for free. This is one of, if not the best song I have heard live! Chills literal Chills
Since the album dropped, I use this song to help me stay grounded when life gets chaotic. I can manage my life when I get out of my own way. Love the NF reactions. I love how he has purpose and meaning to his art.

you must react to ( NF how could you leave us )
This song just heals me
Best artist on the planet!!!! Welcome to the journey.......one of the OGs with mental health, reflective rap. More NF!!!!
NF is my favorite artist. I'm gonna go to his concert soon. I'm a super fan lol
Randomly found your video and I’m subbing for the NF JOURNEY! Love this format of reaction and conversation between you two - this is so beautiful!
This is one of my favourites of NF's
Go on the journey! We love when new people experience the journey for the first time. Keep it up
He also sings in Mistake ❤😊
I know I saw you do How Could You Leave Us, if you haven't yet you HAVE to do MAMA. You can almost feel a sense of closure. It's so powerful.
What a song to start with! You got to listen to him for the first time in a song what he’s singing for and not rapping.
The first time I heard him on a song was with him featuring as the chorus and he was singing. Then my next experience of NF was through the song Mansion.. My jaw hit the floor!
Saying goodbye to depression he’s been going through and at the end it sounds like he’s saying that he’s gonna be gone for a while like retired a while so he can spend time with his wife and son 😢
It look like his decision to move on, and tske the decision to have more positivr mindset, is coming from peace ,not anger anymore, acceptance ,i will take control of my life.
I love NF song and EZMIL
We definitely need you to listen to happy! If running made you emotional then happy will be even greater. It’s such a good song and so powerful
Put on your seat belts. This is an amazing journey. I suggest starting at the beginning. Love from Cali ❤️
This song I feel like it can be targeted to more than just ones self directly. Could be a relationship with many things. Twist is it ties back to one’s self. Can be difficult to explain well. But NF has ways to get many hooked in a good way.
nf is genuinely a very good artist, many will say he is corny or whatnot, but he is an amazing rapper and singer and an amazing composer as you can see from his other songs
The people that say he's corny only say that because their brains can't comprehend what he's saying
Listen to his song names “Change”.
Man!!!! you are covering really good songs these days...
Have you reacted to his video called HOPE yet…. It’s a true masterpiece and deff something you will want to react to!!!!!!!!
I absolutely love NF and do not want to take away from this video by commenting about another artist, but I don’t know where to go to make song suggestions other than in the comments. 🙈
Renee Rapp - Snow Angel and I Wish (please react! You will not regret!)
As a fellow mental health professional, thank you for this act of inclusion and making mental health discussions more accessible.
So happy you’re here fellow heart healer! Thank you for the suggestions!
Hopefully you can react to either how could you leave us or the search by NF
100% need to keep up with NF, Happy will be a fantastic listen and reaction... if you want to get real deep then listen to his personality change between "How Could You Leave Us" and "Mama" after growing with the loss of his mother

Just cry like we all did
You gotta react to
NF - How Could Leave Us
LOVING THE HICUP'S!!!!!!! LOL
Yeah this is a tough one. Listened to the album a couple times right away and after sitting with this track for a bit, it actually became one that I would avoid. Has to be close to a year since then, still avoiding it, honestly not sure if I will or if I even should push play now.
omg hold on, it's a therapist reacting so I should pay attention now!
Please do NF - HAPPY !!!
❤❤
Yeah
Please react to Mansion
Can we set an appointment? I need you as my therapist. I’m not comfortable with anyone, but your warmth is very comforting.
Reach out to me tgrough www.coachkeilani.com :-)
This one along with mistake, let you down, if you want love, remember this.
Please react to the NF journey
i dont understand why this was shown / suggested as such an early reaction consindering this is literally his last / closing song of the last album, even if you provide a little "context " as mentioned its not enough to fully get the song and the actual growth behind it imo

Buen video.
