This one was a tough one to watch, and I know a lot of y’all have reached out about these being too hard for me at the moment, but I actually really have found these past NF videos incredibly therapeutic. Now starting therapy and dealing with my past has been such a blessing to my mind and soul and I’m so grateful for these videos bringing up my demons so I can finally face them. Much love to you all. Can’t wait for the journey! ♥️
Totally resonated with your comment about his music being free therapy. I had been listening to NF occasionally for a long time, but I really went down the rabbit hole after I ended an abusive marriage. I had just started therapy and was working a job as a yearbook photographer that had me on the road for days at a time, and it could be incredibly lonely. Whenever I needed to feel understood and wasn't close to a therapy session I'd just blast his music during the road trips for work. After hearing all of his older stuff in that context, HOPE as an album feels like an emotional liberation through music. Gone, Happy and Running in particular hit me hard on a core level. Cannot wait to see your journey through his music, and I sincerely hope that it helps you as much as it helped me.
You got it! Your strong and you will make it through! We’re all here to support you and help you through it all. Love your channel and just know we’re here if no one else is. God Bless you and here is many more blessed years to live.🙏🙏🙏
NF absolutely made it clear to me that I needed help and finally after 28 years, I've finally felt freedom and heard because I seeked the help I needed.
Mine is for sure mama because my dad had died a little over a year ago under the same conditions almost he was a drug addict but he died in a fire in the cause of the fire was indeed cooking of drugs and I feel like that's the one that relate to the most the only difference is I lost my dad when he lost his mom
Thank you for being willing to be vulnerable for so many to see! Knowing his path and journey makes his new album hit to another level. You walk with him through his catalog, finding yourself identifying with him. You find yourself rooting for him to find Hope. Then, he drops Hope. It will be worth the emotional roller coaster when you get to Happy, Mama, Mistake, Gone, and Running. Save Running for last. It'll HIT!
Me and the kids are going to get our vinyls signed by NF himself!! 6 hours to go.. 😊 my anxiety is off the charts right now 😂. Great reaction as always!
I wholeheartedly believe, Nate’s music opens minds and changes ppl for the better. Personally, has helped me tremendously over the years. Who I was when I first started listening to him, is not the same person I am today, for the better. Enjoy The Journey! Keep those tissues close by! ❤️
@@helenHTID True - My name is Paul and the name you see there was my wife, Willa. I discovered NF around the time she passed, along would many other artists. I believe that reaction channels helped me get through the grief, depression and disengagement from the world. Any art, at the genius level, can heal, amaze and bring us together. These two are at the top for me. Stay well👍
You have an entire NF community that feels just like you. I’m 36 and listening to this helps me not only understand my deep thoughts, but reminds me to keep what’s important in life as my main focus. I can’t tell you how many times I’ve called a love one shortly after an NF jam session, and just being like, dad I love you man lol. Once you react to intro 3 and his very last song on hope “running” it’s amazing to see how he illustrates his transformation. Also have heard numerous accounts (online so who knows validity of stories) of people claiming NF is the reason they were able to fight through depression and even suicidal thoughts. Love watching people take in NF and appreciate you being vulnerable and raw about everything. Hope you enjoy the journey!
My first ever song I heard from NF and I fell in love instantly. I knew right then and there he would be one of my favorite artists EVER in music. Absolutely incredible song and lyrics in every single song.
This has to be one of my favorite of his! The imagery and the picture he paints in this song is so heartbreaking. Thank you Aileen and I hope this journey with NF helps you to heal those hidden wounds ❤
I played a handful of NF songs for my parents, 60-70 folks, who really do not like rap at all. And it took them both about 3 seconds to say it. That NF is REAL MUSIC
I write poetry and have for many years. Never felt confident enough to share it with the world. It's what's helped me get past the dark times I've faced. NF has been the one lyricist to open up so many wounds again that I didn't know I had or knew I had and couldn't yet face them or understand them. This words are so powerful and honestly I love deep conversations and would love a deep conversation with him and you. The pain you expressed was the same feelings I felt when I heard this song for the first time and even that last time seeing this song on your channel. It's powerful how it can open our mind and your heart and inspire feelings of the past that you thought were gone to only show that you weren't fully through it. Which isn't a bad thing. It just means than we can and will become stronger. Through ourselves but also paying attention to others and what they have gone through. I've always believed that the real growth in us is what we choose to see and take away from what surrounds us. Thank you for being open with your emotions and feelings. I've always been drawn to metal most of my life but there are artists that made me think twice again about genres that seemed to be fading in such authenticity.
I personally think that when these seem too hard for you, it’s EXACTLY when you need them. At least, that’s how it was for me. People have said that you don’t find NF…NF finds you when you need his music the most. Best of luck to you as you go through the journey! It’ll be a roller coaster, but TOTALLY worth it!
the thing about nf , he opens our eyes with his lyrics and makes us really FEEL and realize things about ourselves we didnt even know . he helps us heal on this journey , his music really is therapeutic even when some songs are harder to listen to because theyre so real
Nf is so good at painting emotions and even though I've listened to him so much, seeing his music strike a cord with your emotions and your reactions keeps getting me. No dry eyes😬😥
I'm right there with you, Aileen. Songs like Mansion (and some more you'll encounter on the journey) really did feel therapeutic - like you can take tangible life lessons from them, and reflect in upon yourself and notice things you hadn't before. It's extremely unique, and very powerful. Wishing you all of the best!
These feelings are exactly what your supposed to feel when listening to NF imo. Its the way that he feels and wants his music to relate to his audience so i think your reaction is spot on.
The raw and unfiltered emotions are what I look for in any reactor. There are things that your eyes do, subtle twitches that you can physically see connect to your own memories. It's a amazing thing to witness happen, Therapy can be terrifying but I wish you the best in facing your inner demons and issues.
I feel like NF's career is coming to fruition. He's been underground for a long time. I was blessed to be introduced to his music in his Therapy album. This journey isn't for the faint of heart or for those who don't want to feel. His music just bursts with emotions in all of their glorious complexity. Go through his therapy and become a better person for it. Sometimes healing and progression hurts.
It takes courage to share your emotions like you on your reactions and NF has done in his music. Its a strength not a weakness. REAL emotions come from REAL feelings. No one shakes emotions like NF. The good, the bad, the ugly but that's why he's REAL, that's REAL life.
What you said,showed in this video is what you call a real reaction and not a fake one bc you tend to see those alot so keep doing you !!! Great reaction
NF is the one rapper who’s show us reality where we are standing his music make us feel low but at the same time his music gave us a boost that’s why I say NF is my therapyist thanks for everything nate 🗝️🖤
In this part of the NF Journey we learn that Nate personifies his emotions. We met Fear and learned he sleeps with Regret in this song. These two will be back in future songs. Loved your reaction.
Therapy was definitely worth it for me. My problem is, I was always impatient and wanting to find "the fix" to everything, YESTERDAY. That's not how it works, though. But as I grew older and had time to process and actually FEEL the emotions (instead of trying to suppress them), having the safety of doing it without worrying if *I* was going to mock myself for it, I finally found what I needed. Eventually my mind started to figure out how to handle my traumas. Brains need time and space to breathe, the freedom (and your acceptance of its need) to feel what it needs to feel. It may not be what you need on your end--we are all different--but maybe it will give you hope too, because we are also all very similar.
I've only recently got into NF....as my main music is rock.but this guy is so talented I have to admit that I like him a lot. It's a strong song with brutal lyrics, your analysis and reaction is always wonderful. Try doing "Happy " I only heard it last week for the first time, It's a beautiful song that is catchy and stuck in my head all that day. Thanks Aileen 🇬🇧💙👍
You're going to love this one but definitely gonna hit home and make you cry I recommend you react to "Mama" from his new album absolutely beautiful song and one I'm sure we'll all cry along with you
Don't apologise for your emotions. NF makes us feel those feelings and talks about the tough stuff but thats also why we love him because so many of us can relate. Crying isn't a bad thing imo, it releases chemicals to help ease our emotional and physical pain
You're such a strong and beautiful individual, inside and out. Don't let anyone ever, EVER tell you anything different. If they do cut them immediately out of you life. Thanks so much for your raw reaction. NF and reactors helped me out of a very dark spot in my life. It's something I can never repay but thank you so much for the time and work that goes into your reactions, it's greatly appreciated! More than you know
The mansion is his consciousness. His life is described through every room in this mansion (aka his own mind). This song is deep. NF is truly an artist
Music reaches the soul. Music unites. And when he creates RealMusic .. it’s powerful. NF has helped me realize I am not alone in my depression and how to speak to my lady about it. This song in particular This song gets me every time … even with reaction vids. Thank you for your reaction
Nathan's music is my therapy session, after 5 years of mental and physical abuse, all the lies I was told, made me mad to the point to where a gun was involved, tried a few times to commit suicide, never could bring myself to do it, I always have flashbacks to that but, all of his songs helps take my mind off of it all and calms me down
NF's music is therapy. There isn't one song I can't relate to. His music has changed me as a person . I hope it does the same for you. Don't be sorry for being vulnerable. You are courageous for that. I couldn't count the times I have cried listening to NF's music. It is my therapy. 🙏 💯 💪
I come back and watch this video every now and then because it’s really special when someone is touched in a way that isn’t just moving but truly helps heal. This is a great song. A great reaction. A genuine reactor. And some beautiful thoughts and feelings doing amazing things.
When ever life gets hard and a spiral down drinking by myself i allways find my way back to watching nf reactions relating to people. No one is alone in what they are going to through
This song resonates with me on a deeper level. To be honest my mind doesn't have a room that "I want to burn to the ground", but there I can find a "room full of regrets" and "a safe room". Still those regrets that I have aren't as serious as "loosing my mom". Great reaction! 😃
The beginning of The Journey is very hard to get through. Trust me, you will love how he grows. And yes, no matter what you have been through in life, NF has a way to reach everyone in some way or another. Great reaction Aileen!
Empaths always make the best reaction channels. May not be your musical wheelhouse but that shows how good NF is because he makes music for everyone. Your reactions (not just NF) are top tier. Always look forward to the next one
Never heard this one of his but it connects to hope when he gets knocked into the mansion…the “missed my alarm” part by her. He also says about keeping all the burdens in one room…in hope he opens the door and all the burdens(black balloons) are all in that one room! Wow…
This was the song that saved our life. We are a DID system and we used this song to to explain to our psychiatrist and trauma specialist therapist what our mind was like with rooms for each of our alters. It was this song that helped us understand our condition better and led to us having major breakthroughs and recoverig the traumatic memories that caused our DID in the first place. We cannot understate the value of this song to our survival.
The more you'll listen to the entire journey, the more you'll understand "Hope". And the more you'll realize how much of a lyrical genius this guy is. Welcome in the NF Journey. Better grab your balloons and invite your friends.
Aileen I discovered you from your reaction video to NFs HOPE. I enjoyed listening to your comments on the videos. I was new to NF at the start of the Covid-19 national shutdown, actually heard him when people in my city were starting to disappear in the street, because they were staying home while I was still delivering food. So it's cool to see that you've been drawn into his lyrics too after listening to HOPE. Looking forward to listening to more of your reactions.
11:35 As a newbie NF-Fan. Yes, i connected to him deep level too bcs I can simply say that he changed my whole life. It's all clicked and settle down in my mind when i listened Hope. Last month, I found NF-hope at random instagram post. I'm 27 and i was in the state that nothing was important, everything was meaningless to me. I was so pessimist person that walking around the edge everytime. When i watch "hope" and seeing him that he was fighting himself for found hope. Something snapped inside my mind. (It was like, i guess i should just f*ck myself and my negative thoughts that holding me back.) Than i started to writing novel and it's really helps me out, i just spitting my thoughts on it and i loving it. More i write and listen his songs, more i found my true myself. Like Nate said: "writing songs is my therapy". Right now writing is doing same thing for me too. Now i can see light about future. Now, i feel like nothing can break or stop me. Just belive in yourself guys, don't stuck your shitty thoughts or others. It's time to take your reigns. And i just want to clarify that most of likes coming from people like me. We all went through some stuff, and i know some of you was so close to end it at past. Bcs I was wanted to end too. BUT we found HOPE with Nf. And now, nothing can stop me, or you. I'm too stronger now, i m the one giving people hope. I know sometimes i'll be stumble, maybe i'll fall. But, I'll always look through to positive side and walk toward to it. Never gonna stuck the past, i'll just learn from my mistakes, they will be my fuel to move on and make it better. Just keep learning and moving guys. Love you all. Thanks for everything NF and thank God to i found him. I listened his all journey. Watched with reaction channels over and over again. I bought his new album and listened so many times. And his last song called that "Running" is kinda follow-up to Hope. I will glad to watch with you again till the end. I can tell that this journey will add something to you. Loved your reactions, waiting for next NF song.
The Mansion is a double entendre for his headspace that's why you can't escape that's where he sleeps. While I think most everybody can relate to this song One Way or Another I'm sorry for your childhood from what little you've shared so far. There was nothing wrong with you you're not to blame you're a beautiful woman inside & out. Whatever happened wasn't your fault and it doesn't determine who you are or will be in the future
this was one of the best, "real" reactions i've ever seen, I go through the same things and I know that hope does arise. I've been watching NF since intro 1. I've been going through hard times lately with my parents, so it's nice to know i'm not alone, thank you soso much for this reactions
Iconic track in NF discography, and yeah, not one to blast every day, but can sure get you in the feels. Loving the journey!!!! .....and it only gets better!
Mansion is such a good song. In this song NF mentioned his mom and he stops himself because there’s not enough room in the song. I think your next NF song to react to should be “how could you leave us”
As someone who has become a shut in from my own trauma and fears, that last line about fear was fucking hard to listen to. Thank you for getting through this. I could see and feel how hard it was. It was was hard for me too. I also am a survivor of violence so I was there with you. We're here with you through you're healing journey. Thank you for your kind words. I am so glad that you are on your healing journey, and I'm sending you good energy.
Be as emotional as you want sweetheart...youre a beautiful soul. My wife and I just saw him live for first time two nights ago, we were both 8ft away from him crying like babies...performance was so powerful.
Several years ago i was on drugs, going through an extremely rough and toxic breakup, being evicted, car reposessed and just lost my job. Had a gun in my mouth with this song, therapy session and "i just wanna know" on repeat. Cried it out and realized the only way to go from where i was was up. As corny as it sounds, NF quite literally saved my life
I will honest with you I had never heard of NF but what beautiful songs I was in tears listening to some of them thank you so much for bringing the songs into my life lots of love Neil here in England
Legends who know about the journey of NF watching Newbies or new people reacting to NF saying was he always this good. Us: Always has been. Always will be, but it makes us happy, the more people get to know him and why he is changing lives.
This is my favorite song, I love how you can implement the message in it in different ways. For me I have several family members and “friends” who want me to fall down, but I have plans, I have willpower within that room I will never open, I have hatred and anger, sadness and sorrow in those rooms locked away in my mansion no one will ever see, people think they know me but no one truly does… NF knows what those rooms mean
When I was inpatient this was the very first NF song I heard so this one is particularly tough but also brought the most healing when I was at the worst point in my life
I have been playing his mansions album since the day it came out. When ever I hit a hard place or need to redirect some internal compass I listen this this album!
Nf makes u feel human makes u feel u r not alone , makes u wanna still be u after a bad life , fight , i love him without him i would went to a bad road , From Tunisia btw his song got to here thank u NF
Watching your reaction brought back when I first heard this song, the things we lock inside and hide from everyone suck. But hearing you talk about how it made you feel made me realize my overlooking of pushing people away and wondering why people leave. Thank you
This one was a tough one to watch, and I know a lot of y’all have reached out about these being too hard for me at the moment, but I actually really have found these past NF videos incredibly therapeutic. Now starting therapy and dealing with my past has been such a blessing to my mind and soul and I’m so grateful for these videos bringing up my demons so I can finally face them. Much love to you all. Can’t wait for the journey! ♥️
People don’t find NF, NF finds you 🗝🛒🖤 much luv from fam……NFRealmusic
🙏🏼💪🏻

You got it! Your strong and you will make it through! We’re all here to support you and help you through it all. Love your channel and just know we’re here if no one else is. God Bless you and here is many more blessed years to live.🙏🙏🙏
When you react to How could you leave us you better bring a box of tissues
NF absolutely made it clear to me that I needed help and finally after 28 years, I've finally felt freedom and heard because I seeked the help I needed.
That's actually amazing! Hope you're good man!
I don’t know if I’m the only one but ‘running’ in his new album slapped me hard. Best song to end that album with for sure
100%. Running’s my favorite track on Hope
I think "mistake" pairs w "running so well
Mine is for sure mama because my dad had died a little over a year ago under the same conditions almost he was a drug addict but he died in a fire in the cause of the fire was indeed cooking of drugs and I feel like that's the one that relate to the most the only difference is I lost my dad when he lost his mom
Saasaaaaame! I legit ugly cry to that one.
@@halfbaked74 I agree there mate! 💯
We're here for the raw emotion. You're "reacting" the same way most of us did our first time, hell, I bawled my eyes out my first time....
Thank you for being willing to be vulnerable for so many to see! Knowing his path and journey makes his new album hit to another level.
You walk with him through his catalog, finding yourself identifying with him. You find yourself rooting for him to find Hope. Then, he drops Hope. It will be worth the emotional roller coaster when you get to Happy, Mama, Mistake, Gone, and Running. Save Running for last. It'll HIT!
Bars
I like how you put this here.
Me and the kids are going to get our vinyls signed by NF himself!! 6 hours to go.. 😊 my anxiety is off the charts right now 😂. Great reaction as always!
OMG
The last line "Is it me or the fear talkin'? I don't know anymore" gets me everytime and i've heard it 100 times by now! Such a powerful line
NF is fierce, he doesn't candy coat the hard stuff. You're pretty fierce yourself Aileen. Rock on sister, don't change ever.
I wholeheartedly believe, Nate’s music opens minds and changes ppl for the better. Personally, has helped me tremendously over the years. Who I was when I first started listening to him, is not the same person I am today, for the better. Enjoy The Journey! Keep those tissues close by! ❤️
Yup same for me ,this dude is one of if not the best emotional rappers out there inspiring ppl
Ren, and NF - Where would we be without them?
@@willasacco9898 NF has made an incredible impact on me since finding him 6 years ago, Ren is cool but on a much different level.

I remember when he dropped this when I was 18. Found it on Pandora. Absolutely changed my life
His songs have helped me get through some tough times…his songs are actually therapeutic..
Great reaction! Thank you for your vulnerability and giving us a genuine reaction.

people don't realize how much NF connects with EVERYONE. Aileen..you are so beautiful and amazing. You are in a great space now!
Wait until how could you leave us. That one is SUCH a emotional song
You nailed it. Nate's ability to connect is a gift.
Nf is so good at painting emotions and even though I've listened to him so much, seeing his music strike a cord with your emotions and your reactions keeps getting me. No dry eyes😬😥
So glad to see you go on this journey. I'm thankful for Nate every day for letting us take this journey with him. Amazing reaction as always Aileen! ♥

A truly authentic and touching reaction. This song hit me hard. Much love!
He has a way to cut deep, his lyrics are so visual it’s hard not to have feelings rise up. Beautiful song and great reaction.

Try doing "Happy " I only heard it last week for the first time,
It's a beautiful song that is catchy and stuck in my head all that day.
Thanks Aileen 🇬🇧💙👍
For a "pallet" cleanser, NF Remember This . I love his perspective.
There you go guys!
He's so talented. His lyrics are so raw and you can connect in some way. You deserve to heal and i'm glad the song could help.
Happy to see you continuing your NF journey. Hope you react to his new album soon. 🖤
You're going to love this one but definitely gonna hit home and make you cry
I recommend you react to "Mama" from his new album absolutely beautiful song and one I'm sure we'll all cry along with you
Definitely recommend reacting to "How Could You Leave Us" before Mama though. Both extremely emotional songs.
Yes,it's important to do it by order
I’m a long time NF fan but I’m a older fan and everyone I talked to I tell them I wish I had a artist like this when I was younger
I saw you start tearing up and in my head I said "Awww honey" this is the deepest song for alot of people
The chorus of this song is what's playing in Hope when he falls into the mansion. Thanks for being vulnerable! We are here for your own journey to!
I’ve been waiting for this - the best song I’ve ever heard
Don't apologise for your emotions. NF makes us feel those feelings and talks about the tough stuff but thats also why we love him because so many of us can relate. Crying isn't a bad thing imo, it releases chemicals to help ease our emotional and physical pain
Great reaction, very pure and honest
You're such a strong and beautiful individual, inside and out. Don't let anyone ever, EVER tell you anything different. If they do cut them immediately out of you life. Thanks so much for your raw reaction. NF and reactors helped me out of a very dark spot in my life. It's something I can never repay but thank you so much for the time and work that goes into your reactions, it's greatly appreciated! More than you know
The mansion is his consciousness. His life is described through every room in this mansion (aka his own mind). This song is deep. NF is truly an artist
Why is he so relatable. This hurts deeply
Music reaches the soul. Music unites. And when he creates RealMusic .. it’s powerful. NF has helped me realize I am not alone in my depression and how to speak to my lady about it. This song in particular
This song gets me every time … even with reaction vids. Thank you for your reaction
I've been watching NF reaction videos for years now and your reactions are the most sincere and real I've seen. Thank you for sharing.
Nathan's music is my therapy session, after 5 years of mental and physical abuse, all the lies I was told, made me mad to the point to where a gun was involved, tried a few times to commit suicide, never could bring myself to do it, I always have flashbacks to that but, all of his songs helps take my mind off of it all and calms me down
NF's music is therapy. There isn't one song I can't relate to. His music has changed me as a person . I hope it does the same for you. Don't be sorry for being vulnerable. You are courageous for that. I couldn't count the times I have cried listening to NF's music. It is my therapy. 🙏 💯 💪
I come back and watch this video every now and then because it’s really special when someone is touched in a way that isn’t just moving but truly helps heal. This is a great song. A great reaction. A genuine reactor. And some beautiful thoughts and feelings doing amazing things.
When ever life gets hard and a spiral down drinking by myself i allways find my way back to watching nf reactions relating to people.
No one is alone in what they are going to through
This song resonates with me on a deeper level. To be honest my mind doesn't have a room that "I want to burn to the ground", but there I can find a "room full of regrets" and "a safe room". Still those regrets that I have aren't as serious as "loosing my mom". Great reaction! 😃
The beginning of The Journey is very hard to get through. Trust me, you will love how he grows.
And yes, no matter what you have been through in life, NF has a way to reach everyone in some way or another.
Great reaction Aileen!
Empaths always make the best reaction channels. May not be your musical wheelhouse but that shows how good NF is because he makes music for everyone. Your reactions (not just NF) are top tier. Always look forward to the next one
Never heard this one of his but it connects to hope when he gets knocked into the mansion…the “missed my alarm” part by her. He also says about keeping all the burdens in one room…in hope he opens the door and all the burdens(black balloons) are all in that one room! Wow…
This was the song that saved our life. We are a DID system and we used this song to to explain to our psychiatrist and trauma specialist therapist what our mind was like with rooms for each of our alters. It was this song that helped us understand our condition better and led to us having major breakthroughs and recoverig the traumatic memories that caused our DID in the first place. We cannot understate the value of this song to our survival.
Never apologize feeling your feelings.
The more you'll listen to the entire journey, the more you'll understand "Hope". And the more you'll realize how much of a lyrical genius this guy is.
Welcome in the NF Journey. Better grab your balloons and invite your friends.
The 2 songs that really hit hard for me are "Paralyzed" and Chasing (demo) I can't get through those without bursting into tears almost every listen.
I too was abused as a child, I've been an NF fan for a decade now, and this one hit hard when I first heard it, thank you for your feed back.
Great reaction! Thank you for being vulnerable. All I can say after watching so many journey reactions NF finds you when you need him most.
Aileen
I discovered you from your reaction video to NFs HOPE. I enjoyed listening to your comments on the videos. I was new to NF at the start of the Covid-19 national shutdown, actually heard him when people in my city were starting to disappear in the street, because they were staying home while I was still delivering food. So it's cool to see that you've been drawn into his lyrics too after listening to HOPE.
Looking forward to listening to more of your reactions.
Beautiful reaction! Happy, your healing!
11:35 As a newbie NF-Fan. Yes, i connected to him deep level too bcs I can simply say that he changed my whole life. It's all clicked and settle down in my mind when i listened Hope.
Last month, I found NF-hope at random instagram post. I'm 27 and i was in the state that nothing was important, everything was meaningless to me. I was so pessimist person that walking around the edge everytime. When i watch "hope" and seeing him that he was fighting himself for found hope. Something snapped inside my mind. (It was like, i guess i should just f*ck myself and my negative thoughts that holding me back.) Than i started to writing novel and it's really helps me out, i just spitting my thoughts on it and i loving it. More i write and listen his songs, more i found my true myself. Like Nate said: "writing songs is my therapy". Right now writing is doing same thing for me too. Now i can see light about future. Now, i feel like nothing can break or stop me. Just belive in yourself guys, don't stuck your shitty thoughts or others. It's time to take your reigns.
And i just want to clarify that most of likes coming from people like me. We all went through some stuff, and i know some of you was so close to end it at past. Bcs I was wanted to end too. BUT we found HOPE with Nf. And now, nothing can stop me, or you. I'm too stronger now, i m the one giving people hope.
I know sometimes i'll be stumble, maybe i'll fall. But, I'll always look through to positive side and walk toward to it. Never gonna stuck the past, i'll just learn from my mistakes, they will be my fuel to move on and make it better. Just keep learning and moving guys. Love you all. Thanks for everything NF and thank God to i found him.
I listened his all journey. Watched with reaction channels over and over again. I bought his new album and listened so many times. And his last song called that "Running" is kinda follow-up to Hope. I will glad to watch with you again till the end. I can tell that this journey will add something to you. Loved your reactions, waiting for next NF song.
Ty for your beautiful reaction to this reaction !!
The Mansion is a double entendre for his headspace that's why you can't escape that's where he sleeps. While I think most everybody can relate to this song One Way or Another I'm sorry for your childhood from what little you've shared so far. There was nothing wrong with you you're not to blame you're a beautiful woman inside & out. Whatever happened wasn't your fault and it doesn't determine who you are or will be in the future
this was one of the best, "real" reactions i've ever seen, I go through the same things and I know that hope does arise. I've been watching NF since intro 1. I've been going through hard times lately with my parents, so it's nice to know i'm not alone, thank you soso much for this reactions
It's always a joy seeing how people are impressed going through the NF journey!
Thank you for the good content ✌🏻🤍🔥
Thank you for reacting to my favorite NF song. You're a beautiful soul aileen!
you have to listen more NF his songs can hurt/heal you at the same time...enjoy the NF Journey !
Iconic track in NF discography, and yeah, not one to blast every day, but can sure get you in the feels. Loving the journey!!!! .....and it only gets better!
Mansion is such a good song. In this song NF mentioned his mom and he stops himself because there’s not enough room in the song. I think your next NF song to react to should be “how could you leave us”
As someone who has become a shut in from my own trauma and fears, that last line about fear was fucking hard to listen to.
Thank you for getting through this. I could see and feel how hard it was. It was was hard for me too. I also am a survivor of violence so I was there with you. We're here with you through you're healing journey. Thank you for your kind words. I am so glad that you are on your healing journey, and I'm sending you good energy.
Be as emotional as you want sweetheart...youre a beautiful soul. My wife and I just saw him live for first time two nights ago, we were both 8ft away from him crying like babies...performance was so powerful.
Absolutely no reason to apologize for emotions and “rambling”. Thank you for being real. ☺️
You're rambling... And I love you for it. Keep being a beautiful soul. Please.
Broken legs but I chase perfection. Favorite line from this song
Several years ago i was on drugs, going through an extremely rough and toxic breakup, being evicted, car reposessed and just lost my job. Had a gun in my mouth with this song, therapy session and "i just wanna know" on repeat. Cried it out and realized the only way to go from where i was was up. As corny as it sounds, NF quite literally saved my life
I will honest with you I had never heard of NF but what beautiful songs I was in tears listening to some of them thank you so much for bringing the songs into my life lots of love Neil here in England
Legends who know about the journey of NF watching Newbies or new people reacting to NF saying was he always this good.
Us: Always has been. Always will be, but it makes us happy, the more people get to know him and why he is changing lives.
You are so very much stronger than you realize, we all are. You got this!
This is my favorite song, I love how you can implement the message in it in different ways. For me I have several family members and “friends” who want me to fall down, but I have plans, I have willpower within that room I will never open, I have hatred and anger, sadness and sorrow in those rooms locked away in my mansion no one will ever see, people think they know me but no one truly does… NF knows what those rooms mean
When I was inpatient this was the very first NF song I heard so this one is particularly tough but also brought the most healing when I was at the worst point in my life
I have been playing his mansions album since the day it came out. When ever I hit a hard place or need to redirect some internal compass I listen this this album!
Even coming back to this song years later it still hits me just as hard as the first time I heard it 😢
It is always an absolute joy watching your UA-cam Channel! God Bless and here is to many years to come! Much love and respect!🙏❤️
Nf makes u feel human makes u feel u r not alone , makes u wanna still be u after a bad life , fight , i love him without him i would went to a bad road , From Tunisia btw his song got to here thank u NF
Watching your reaction brought back when I first heard this song, the things we lock inside and hide from everyone suck. But hearing you talk about how it made you feel made me realize my overlooking of pushing people away and wondering why people leave. Thank you
NF is such an authentic rapper. He opens his heart to everyone and is not ashamed of what people see
