Balloons are burdens. The cart is his mind. In Perception, his mind was in a big cage - "Outcast". Now he's got a portable cage for it because he's headed out on The Search. This song came out just prior to The Search being released. #NF 😎
Oh - the fake smile... He puts it on when people say he should be happy, make happier music, etc. Nate also is a huge fan of the Joker. You will see this in various songs and lyrics.
Thanks so much Lisa! You cleared it up for me😊👍
Balloons are a clever choice for his particular burdens. They are largely mental and emotional burdens and he could just simply let them go if he really wanted, let them float away, but part of him doesn't want to let them go.
NF is the one thing that keeps me going everyday and watching you react to them is really great.
Thanks so much charlotte 😊👍
Him** I’m happy he’s had that effect on you though❤️
@@masonsmith6825what was the point of correcting someone? Let them comment how they want to.
@@LaMayoKahn the difference between ‘them’ and ‘him’ is that ‘them’ would mean that ‘NF’ is a band & ‘him’ means that he’s a solo artist. Just in case she wasn’t aware, I was trying to lovingly let her know that it’s not a full band, it’s just Nate and he has his hands in pretty much every part of his music. All love homie:) sometimes, you correct people not for your own need for everyone to be correct all the time, but because you think you might make a positive impact on who you’re correcting in doing so! Wonderful how so many different things can be done in love, right? I for one find it wonderful😌
And when he says this isn't Nates flow he's talking about it being Big Sean's flow its like a shout out to him, which he also does later in the song.
And stick my knife inside pennywise he's referring to his fear which is what the clown represents in the movie IT.
Hey Tom, how are you doing? Great reaction as always! So, basically, "Why" is a conversation between Nate and Pride, so, to make it easier, I specified in the lyrics where I think Nate is talking and where I think Pride is talking. Hope this enriches your experience!
[NF]
Too many faces, too many faces, too many faces
Yeah, what's your definition of success? (ay)
I don't trust the thoughts that come inside my head (woo)
I don't trust this thing that beats inside my chest
Who I am and who I wanna be cannot connect,
[Pride]
why? Don't think I deserve it?
[NF]
You get no respect (woo)
[Pride]
I just made a couple mil',
[NF]
still not impressed
[Pride]
Let You Down goes triple platinum,
[NF]
yeah, okay, okay, I guess (ay)
Smile for a moment then these questions startin' to fill my head, not again!
I push away the people that I love the most,
[Pride]
why? (woo)
[NF]
I don't want no one to know I'm vulnerable,
[Pride]
why? (woo)
[NF]
That makes me feel weak and so uncomfortable,
[Pride]
why? (ay)
[NF]
Stop askin' me questions, I just wanna feel alive Until I die,
[Pride]
this isn't Nate's flow (woo)
[NF]
Just let me rhyme, I'm in disguise
I'm a busy person, got no time for lies, one of a kind
They don't see it, I pull out they eyes,
I'm on the rise!
I've been doin' this for most my life with no advice (woo)
Take my chances, I just roll the dice, do what I like
As a kid, I was afraid of heights, put that aside
Now I'm here and they look so surprised, well so am I, woo!
They don't invite me to the parties but I still arrive
Kick down the door and then I go inside
Give off that "I do not belong here" vibe
Then take the keys right off the counter, let's go for a ride
Why do y'all look mortified? (ay)
I keep to myself, they think I'm sorta shy, organized
Let You Down's the only song you've heard of?
Well then you're behind (woo)
Story time, wish that I could think like Big Sean does, but I just can't decide (aah)
If I should stick my knife inside of Pennywise
[Pride]
I, I don't care what anybody else thinks,
[NF]
lies (haha)
[Pride]
I do not need nobody to help me,
[NF]
lies
I kinda feel guilty 'cause I'm wealthy,
[Pride]
why?
[NF]
I don't understand, it's got me questionin' like, "Why?"
[Pride]
Just tell me why, not back to this flow
[NF]
Inside I feel divided
Back when I ain't had a dime, but had the drive
Back before I ever signed, I questioned life, like, "Who am I, man?"
Woo!
Nothin' to me's ever good enough
I could be workin' for twenty-four hours a day and think I never did enough
My life is a movie but there ain't no tellin' what you're gonna see in my cinema (no)
I wanna be great but I get it in the way of myself
And I think about everything that I could never be
Why do I do it though?
Ay, yeah
Why you always lookin' aggravated? [I think he's talking to the industry and also to Pride]
Not a choice, you know I had to make it
When they talk about the greatest, they gon' probably never put us in the conversation
Like somethin' then I gotta take it
Write somethin' then I might erase it
I love it, then I really hate it
[Pride]
What's the problem, Nathan?
[NF]
I don't know
I know I like to preach to always be yourself (yeah)
But my emotions make me feel like I am someone else
Me and Pride had made a pact that we don't need no help
Which feels like I'm at war inside myself but I forgot the shells
I hold my issues up for all to see, like show and tell
A lot of people know me, but not a lot know me well
Hold my issues up for all to see, like show and tell
A lot of people know me, but they don't know me well
OMG!!! This is phenomenal! Thank you soooooooo much😊👍
talk about a stretch, where's the source?
@@anomaly3215 Idk, interpretation? I mean, isn't that what music is all about?
But he said that to Benjamin Arrola at 20-Comer, haven't you seen it?
@@anomaly3215 Really 6we need sources now for music interruptions? Musical Interpretation?

Musical interpretation is, in a word, storytelling. In a story, there are characters-in music, themes. In a story there is development-in music, variations on a theme, ornamentation, harmonic tension. In a story, there are scenes; in music, sections. Their is no right or wrong to how a song makes you feel at that very molment and to ask for sources on what I saw as having great insight. Your thinking to critically.. Musical Interpretation? Obviously his source is himself to answer your question..
@@earendilarvenien9269 so well said... I knew it was about pride but laying it all out like that really drove it home. Didn't relieze how it was all dialog like that until I really started listening closer..... thank you!
Big Sean has an album called I Decided so the NF line was a play of words, and i think that NF mentioned Sean before in an interview saying that Blessings by Big Sean is his favourite song
When he said "stick my knife inside of Pennywise" he was referring to how Pennywise carries around balloons. And the black balloons symbolize nates burdens, and how he should pop the balloons, which you can infer what that means about the burdens. And also when said "this isn't nates flow" he was talking about how the flow is very similar to the flow on Big Seans song "Bounce Back".
10:34 When he talks about Pennywise he is referring to the fact that it represents your most obscure and biggest fear
The flow is from bounce back big sean, and the reference “saying I wish I could think like big Sean does but I can’t decide” is a reference to his album I Decided
Now I get it…thanks so much!😊😁
the album is I Decided, thats why NF says he wishes he could think like Big Sean
@@SkinnySAMMY27 shii my bad 🤣
Pennywise is from It. He basically embodies fear, so he’s saying he can’t decide if he should kill his fear.
It’s funny in this video for “Why” he raps “I just can’t decide if I should stick my knife inside of Pennywise” while holding a machete but in the video for “Real” (when he is on that plane) he raps “It’s my time, this ladder I climbed. I took the machete, the game isn’t ready” while holding a knife.
😊👍
Big Sean is a rapper and NF was actually shouting out big Sean's flow. (In the song he says "this isn't nates flow")
At the "this isn't Nate's flow," the flow he was using was Big Sean's as kind of like a shout out to him, also he mentions him later on in the song
Congrats on 100k subscribers!!!
Thank you!!😊👍
The smile is taken from The Joker, but represents how some people want him to be happy when he’s not. I’m honestly not sure about the meaning of the cart, however The balloons are his burdens, which he feels like he can never let go and he always has to keep to himself, for now-
100k and a new logo!!! Wooohoooo! What a time to be alive!!
Thank you so much! Appreciate the ❤️
Good reaction as usual Tom. “Not Nates flow” is doing homage to Bug Sean. Can’t wait for you to continue your NF journey in Clouds mixtape.
If I may, may I recommend a indie artist called Sadistik. Check one of his song called Searching for Something Beautiful
Big Sean*
So basically when he says this isn't Nate's flow he means he was using big Sean's flow from the song bounce back, but then gives big Sean a shoutout later in the song by saying I wish I could decide like big sean does, which is a reference to big Sean's album "I decided" and that album also has the song bounce back on it where Nate got the flow from.
Makes total sense now, thanks😊👍
Omg 100k subs already! I'm so surprised and happy about that!! I remember when you were like at 20k
Time flies! Appreciate your support and comments😊👍
I hope you and your family have a great week. As well as your clients. Thank you for your reactions sir, you're saving my life and mind from negative thoughts just like NF did years ago. ❤
Thanks so much, this comment made my day 😊👍
i like to believe that the grocery cart is some sort of portable prison/cell, which he talks about in perception, even in the the search album cover u can see the same cell from the outcast music video in the distance, so even if he wants to let go, he can't, so instead of leaving everything behind, he takes a smaller, portable prison and his burdens (which is the balloons) with him
This song is my top 5 fav nf songs ever
been waiting for this one, letsgoooo
I just love this mans vibe and channel
Thank you so much!😊👍
The purity of the reaction is awsome. The NF journey mixed with the psychotherapist view is probably the best fit.
Keep it up man
Thanks so much Victor!😊👍
Pennywise is a killer clown based off John Wayne Gasey (think I'm spelling that right), so I always assumed that "Stick my knife inside of Pennywise" meant "Kill these clowns"
WE GOT A LOGO! 🔥
Cool
You caught that!?😊
@@ReactionTherapyOfficial As soon as I saw the notification :D
Your excitement is exciting to watch!
Thank you!!😊👍
I'm so proud you got to 100k its definitely been a amazing experience so far
Thank you so much Preston!😊👍
He is preparing to leave the mansion. He is loading up his "safe room/cell from outcast " and his burdens/balloons.
Very cool!!😊👍
You should definitely react to killstation - Devil in her heart. The pain in his voice is so haunting, it’s beautiful 🖤
Broo his reaction at 14:41 just soo good
Hey, could you do a Lil Bo Weep song in memory of her recent passing ❤️ I would reccomend ‘Untitled’ or ‘not ok but it’s ok’ … too many young people lost to suicide. Love the work as always 💜
Definitely a Top5 NF track...👍👊😎
My definition of Success is going to bed in the evening with everything done.. no bad feelings, and maybe not that much selfhate for once
I love this!!!😊👍
I enjoy watching new YT reactors who appreciate the brilliance of NF and Em; there are a few channels that excel at breaking down the barsa nd such, but I personally enjoy the personalities of the reactors. You and Larry Shair are both newly discovered going on similar journeys, and are fun to watch.....plus I get to listen to my fave artists 😎
Thanks for the comments and the support Dave! Appreciate it very much!😊👍
“Facts, total bars right there”
God I love this channel
😂😂😂
Its big sean's flow hes talking about
Makes sense, thank you😊👍
Good morning Tom,
This single came out about 6 months before he dropped "The Search" Album. This is when he first introduced us to the black balloons (representing his burdens) and the Joker fake smile painted on him, directly. He did paint fake smiles on the family wearing masks in Therapy Session, previously.
On the walls you'll notice, "Perception", "Texas", "Why", "Help Me", "Lies", a picture of the keys to his mind that we've seen in "Green Lights", "Outro", and "Outcast", and many other themes that are like his thoughts in "Mansion." The shopping cart represents a mobile prison of his mind that is Oscar Mike (On The Move) from the door of the cage opening in "Outcast." He opened the door to his mind to us through his music, but he is still Searching for answers and brings his balloons (burdens) with him, literally slowing him down, dragging behind his cart. He hasn't found a way to heal and fully let go of all his burdens yet.
Furthermore, the Pennywise reference is in regards to the "It" clown. When he says, "Wish I could think like Big Sean does, but I just Can't Decide", is a reference to Big Sean's, "I Decided" studio album in 2017. It's a shout out to Big Sean, as this song highly models the flow of Big Sean in "Bounce Back." Big Sean is not to be confused with Sean "P Diddy" Combs. Hope this helps!
I love how you explained appreciating music more than just background noise. I love to read lyrics and NF was introduced to me by you. Can’t wait for the 100k stream and will be around for when you eventually hit 1M. Thank you again for what you do
Thanks so much Adrian! And I love lyrics too! So glad we are learning about and taking the NF journey together!😊👍
Big Sean is a Detroit rapper that has a song where he says he doesn't give a f so he's saying he wished he didn't care about it and had Big Sean's perspective and pennywise is the insane murdering clown from the movie it. Glad you're a therapist willing to learn
We need some earl sweatshirt I feel whoa, hive, and chum are great
When he says "this isn't Nate's flow", he's talking about Big Sean (that flow was from one of Big Sean's songs called "Bounce Back"... later he mentions Big Sean by name as further recognition of his influence).
NICK AND TOM!! great video still excitedly waiting for your reactions to J Cole Love Yourz and Mirror by Lil Wayne
I am one the biggest fans of NF! I have some recommendations too if you haven't reacted to them already, "PRIDEFUL" and "DRIFTING" by NF. Also, there are some other songs I recommend like "down to earth" by Justin Bieber, "letter to me" by Brad Paisley, and "the little girl" by John Micheal Montgomery
Oh man! You’ve got some BANGERS here! Hopeful to have all of these on Patreon!!😁👍
I know you saw my other comment, but reacting to My Life by NF would be amazing! That song isn’t one of his most popular but the message would be great to react too!
The dog in the background throughout the video reminded me of my dog that I put down this Last summer. But im glad to hear more nf music from the journey! I can't wait wait for you to react to breathe and dreams.! Keep it up Tom and nick! I'm excited for the patreon!!!!!
You heard the dog?? She just couldn’t help herself I guess😂😂😂 protecting me from strangers at my house! Thanks for the comments😊👍
I love your videos! found you cause i'm a big juice fan and they always make my day!😁
Thanks chicken! Appreciate the comments😊😁
When you say you could go back to the 80’s music and do the same thing, I know you’re referring to when I brought up Don Henley and the Boys of Summer! It’ll hit the top of the queue one of these months :)
Patreon will have some of this! Wait until that opens soon! And I’m putting this song right up front on Patreon!😊👍
He helps me so much and u tom too thanks for everything
Yeass, one of my favourites! Maybe the next one can be I miss the days or The search. Oh and a belated congratzz on the 100k🎉 Well deserved
Thank you!😊👍
10:37 Big Sean is a rapper he released an album called "I decided" in 2017 so it's a shout out to big sean and the album
Big Sean is another amazing talented rapper you should listen to.
i really enjoy watching reaction channels like yours because i think it's neat to hear somebody else's perspective on something. that's one of the positives of the internet i feel like and we can share what we think and feel like we're a part of something bigger than ourselves. it's like being able to have that connection with others without the personal element of having to maintain a relationship.
Thank you coach!!!
Do bohemian rhapsody next since you going old school! I still need to schedule 1hr if you have time. Thanks!!!!!!!!
😊👍
@@ReactionTherapyOfficial I'm insured well!!! Also, I read comments that said, 'outcast'. I highly recommend this also! Hope all is well!!!
This is the best album from NF! Excited for you to experience the entire thing (:
This song is so perfect because of the openness to personal interpretation. As a person with CPTSD, this song encompasses many of my own struggles. 💞 Thank you for the reactions. I'm late to this one, but it is great to hear your perspective.
CHANNEL IS AMAZING !! ❤❤
Thank you so much 😁😁😁
I posted the comment below originally on when you reacted to NF If You Want Love. I know it's probably impossible to keep up with every comment, but if you have a chance, can you please read the comment below and, as a therapist, give me your thoughts? I know I probably shouldn't share something as personal as this on a public forum, so to everyone else, please be respectful.
I'm only 31 years old, but for years, I've been regularly breaking down and crying, and panicking, because I am intensely aware that I'm going to die, the love of my life is going to die, my baby, who's only 11 months old right now, he's going to grow up and eventually die, and I don't know how to handle it. If everyone dies, what's the point? It's to the extent that a lot of times when I'm holding my son, I'm already thinking about him becoming a teenager, then an adult, then an old man with Alzheimer's who can't remember his grandchildren's names, and I am very aware that this is not normal. I spend so much time crying my eyes out to the point sometimes that I hyperventilate over what will eventually be lost that I can't enjoy what's happening now. I'm in a constant state of mourning what hasn't been lost yet to the point that it might as well already be lost. I can't take this anymore. Spending time with my son is painful because in my mind, he's already an adult with his own life and he doesn't call anymore and everytime I call he's busy, or I'm in a senior citizen housing place somewhere and he hasn't visited for almost a year and I'm starting to forget what he looks like or the sound of his voice. I don't want to be this way anymore. I can't handle it. Please help me. I can't live like this anymore.
First of all, thank you for being so honest and for sharing your life, the good and bad. Having someone to talk with, that is good and qualified can be super helpful with what you’re describing, so I encourage you to seek that out. Secondly, our life here, your life with your child, and our experience with people everyday is about today. Appreciating the experiences we have, the “daily bread” that we have that is “enough” for us to sustain and feel satisfied. So it’s about letting those thoughts and future beliefs come in, give them a certain amount of time (5 minutes) to stay and then usher them out of your brain and go for a walk or go to a different room and bring the present moment back in. Way too much for me to just type here, but there is hope and help and possibility. Thanks for the comment😊👍
Big Seans flow from bounce back and he mentions big sean and his album I decided. Big sean is a Detroit michigan rapper he likes. They follow eachother on socials
Also a ton of eggs written on wall.
Too much to follow! He’s incredible!! Thanks so much for the comments Nikki!😊👍
Love your NF reactions i could watch them again and again
i only just started watching you but you make my day so much better. thank you🙂
Thank you!!😊👍
Great video and reaction as always
Congratulations for your 100k!!!!!!😊😊😊😊😊👍
Thanks so much 😊👍
you should check out some 2pac! Tupac - So Many Tears! is very deep!
We enjoy you enjoying what we enjoy
Your insight and experience is very informative. Thank you Sir.
Great video! :) can’t wait for more!
From what I understand, Pennywise is supposedly the embodiment of fear, so I think that is him saying he should conquer his fears.
Also, Big Sean has an album called “I Decided” so that was just a shoutout to the artist Big Sean
Thank you for this 😊👍
I saw your video about Dave-"Black", and i think you should listen to his album Psycodrama, because it's put together like a therapy session, why would be really fitting if you would react to it. Good songs from the Album: Enviroment, Lesly, psycho and so many more
Penny wise is from the movie IT it’s basically fear.
It’s so cool seeing a professional analyze the music and explain what the rest of us can feel, but not necessarily articulate. Thank you so much!
You should really check out Bo Burnham too, I would suggest Can’t Handle This, We Think We Know You, That Funny Feeling, and All Eyes on Me. I’d really like to hear your professional take on them!
This is such a great song
I love the last bars. Knowing you show your skeleton but no one really knows him even if he shares what he really deals with.
As you mentioned- if you’re feeling inadequate of your viewers/success I’ll say it’s not your training or amount of content you put out as to why I watch. Rather it is the authenticity and honest feedback of your work that brings me back. Keep up the great work
I don't see it yet in the comments but the flow that isn't Nates is another artists, Big Sean. Off his album "I've Decided" Both referenced in this song. Nice little shout out.
this song may not be my favorite but it’s really underrated.
Big Sean is a rapper that has an album called i decided. Also, he is using ome of big sean's flows. Thats why he says this isnt nates flow.
Awesome! Thanks so much for telling me!😊👍
Woohoo for 100K!!
Yes!!!!!!😊👍
NF STORY & CLOUDS MUSIC VIDEOS
It’s big Sean’s flow
I HIGHLY recommend reacting to the entire search album in order. It's an entire cohesive thing, frankly it's a masterpiece. The entire album is coming from the perspective of mental health and the search for meaning and finding yourself.
Have to react to Outcast
love the vids!! you should also react more to kid cudi!!
I think you would like breaking down some of the songs from an artist called Guardin.
some recommendations:
Shadow
Demons in my orbit
In my sleep
Doormat
This a good song love the reaction keep up da work.
Hey Tom, the whole three different personas thing is honestly just looking to deep into it. Nate is just Nate
Oh wow new channel pfp
Hey Tom, how r ya doin'? Hope everything is fine, just wanted to say that you make amazing videos and I am glad to be here in your comment section dude. A
Grettings from Germany my friend, keep going🤩
Thank you so much!! I really appreciate it and I’m thankfulfor you😊👍
It'd be amazing if you could react to Josh A - Waste Away. It's a very deep song and you could have a few topics to talk about. Hope you have a great week!
👏please👏do👏beautiful👏by👏eminem👏
Its fire 🔥🔥🔥
I think the flow is similar to Big Sean’s I. Decided
Pennywise is a horror clown known from the movie "it". Pennywise is always seen with balloons in the movies.
He paid homage to big Sean with the this isn't notes flow from bounce back by big sean
Hello Tom. All your reactions are great. Keep up the good work.
Just one thing, I've noticed in all your videos that the cameras focus is on your background instead of you, would be great if you could fix that :)
I’ll have nick check it out because it looks pretty clear to me on this video. Thanks for the feedback😊👍
Yay love this song
The flow is from Big Sean
Love your reactions Tom!
Thank you 😊👍
Do NF Time
Big Sean is a "current" rapper he's pretty solid , good lyrically and has a fairly large fanbase. And the penny wise line might have been a double entrendre about the rap community, at this time he was getting on other rappers radar even had some comparisons to Eminem which is why he's seesawing from hard on himself to proud alot . There's a few other lines that seem surface level about himself but they may be double entendres about other rappers perception of him
Great reaction as always! Can you react to Trauma by NF? The song is so beautiful and raw emotions from NF.
Its the flow of big sean 😊
