NF is simply brilliant. Appreciate your reaction. The woman in white on the swing represents his mother (who died from overdose). She has 3 bloons representing her 3 children. It's a very sad tribute. 💜
NF's lyrics are painfully real and honest. That's what makes him so brilliant. He brings up all the fears, thoughts and ugly truths about yourself that you've been trying to hide. His brand is NFrealmusic (the hat he's wearing says "Real"). He does not want to fake anything. I suggest you continue with his song "Mansion", it's an important foundation for the rest of the NF journey. :)
Never....have O watched anybody react to NF and get the cart right off the bat. Followed NF since Mansion and it has been a journey worth every movie he's made and every lyric spoken
I love this song so much ❤ and the way you broke it down was amazing! I was literally crying watching this video 👏🏻 thank you so much! Saving the video so I can watch it again later ❤
OH MAN! I gotta I say, I love you dude! I’ve been listening to this song since it came out and I watched the video just recently. You saw thinks I never would’ve seen and you connected the objects to the lyrics so well like i never could’ve. This blows my mind right now, because you’re 'just' watching it for the first time. Thank you very much for sharing this reaction. I’m sending much love and a follow from germany.
Very nice reaction! I love watching reactions to NF, he's got so much to say and lots of symbolism to figure out! I think the big cage is where he's coming from, where he has kept himself in the past. Very isolated and fearful. After he started making music, going to therapy and figuring things out, he can leave that big cage behind. Not as fearful anymore. But he has his cart-cage because he's not ready to free himself completely. I think the people in white are people that are hopeful in life. NF has no hope at this point. "I'm looking for the map to hope, have you seen it?" he sings.

I absolutely love your reactions so far. You pick up on a lot of the hidden meaning behind the smallest details. I'm definitely subscribing to watch you take the NF journey. His fan base is something else, and I'm sure you will hear this multiple times from other people. You don't discover NF when you want him. NF comes into your life when you need him.....even if you didn't know it. Can't wait for the next NF video!
Great. You would benefit from doing the "NF Journey" so all of this symbolism makes sense. Many of his vids build on the previous ones. Great advice. Seeya
Man, PLEASE post more NF videos,cause, Idk why, but me and A LOT of people like to see new people reacting to NF, their reactions to such a genius. Keep on, great job! 😎👍
the cage that he “came out of” in the music video is the album cover of perception.. probably meaning something more about the year and a half and the ocd
I think (just my opinion) that the people in white are ones who’ve passed on. Good people who didn’t make it. And Their balloons are the burdens/people they’ve left behind. Is the woman on the swing his mom? Him sitting in the cart at the end is him losing the battle of burdens and being given his “white clothes”. Will he put them on, or will he get back out and FIGHT? Just my thoughts
Thank you for your reaction. You seem to get symbolism very well! Never thought of the cart before as a cage, very intresting! I really suggest Mansion and why did you leave us. Maybe you already did them...I will find out after that video 😂 as far as I know he made his albums in an order too. So mansion, journey and then hope! I love hope as well. ❤

Mistake is my favorite NF track!
@@MusicHealsHQ just subbed excited for you to take the journey. I’ve been addicted to watching NF reactions for 7 years now, you caught more nuggets than I’ve ever seen anyone else. I always like to keep in mind his albums are like seasons, and his songs as episodes, so for you to come in “mid journey” and understand as much as you did is awesome. Also this is the most thorough “NF Journey” list I’ve seen, but the song Happy (Hope album) does have a music video (I’m sure it wasn’t on purpose it’s a missive list!) and it’s important to watch. I would recommend watching lyric video when the song doesn’t have a music video, and when it does pull up lyrics on phone or print out, etc, to follow along as he will be rapping fast sometimes!
I relate to NF quite a bit, and your analysis of him really made ME feel seen. Especially the part about being able to always keep people guessing, but if someone is actually willing to put in the time and effort, then our core actually isn’t that complicated.
My brother just passed and I stumbled on this video and I just wanted to say thank you. I felt like I was spiraling and this helped me put my mind in a better place.
I'm glad you had a similar reaction to the "where'd the beat go?" moment that I did, musically it's so epic, it breaks the 4th wall, it gives me the brain tingles
Notice that at the beginning of the video he's dragging the cart with his burdens but at the end of the video he's pushing the cart - he's taking some control over his direction...
ONLY two months?! I thought you’d been doing this for years you’re so charismatic on camera! I thought your channel was underrated, but I couldn’t be happier to join the channel so early in and almost at 10k! Ty for touching hearts. 💕 I hope your recognition skyrockets ✨
In the beginning you talked about music being a real factor. That’s why I have a car playlist with nothing depressing in it. To much time to think to hard. Music, with that head space doesn’t help.
To fully understand NFs music videos and all the different elements you see in them you’ll have to start from the beginning. The cage for example is from a previous music video of a song called OUTCAST :)
I've always thought hus cart was a physical representation of his mind? And he's always having to lug it around and also with his black balloons being his demons/issue he has, or we all have? And I thought the randomly placed "white suits" I think are little bits of hope! And at the end, there was a little hope dropped into his cart..... just my thoughts, but if I'm wrong, I hope ppl correct me! Thank you & cheers for your reaction .. if you haven't yet, I would ask you to look at Ren, hi-ren amazingly awesome!! X
I watched your review/vid on "Hi Ren" and I loved your insight!! ❤ Thank you for this... I love that you're looking at NF's music!! Both of these artists I personally adore... As a person living/sometimes struggling with my mental health (as all of us do.) But ...your insights touch me! "Music has a healing power"- YES! it does!!! I wanted to share ... I hope you don't mind. I was diagnosed with bipolar disorder after being given the wrong SSRI and it uptaked too fast, so I encountered psychosis in my teens/adolescence, and further endured serotonin syndrome/was having nightly seizures - for months - until a grand mal seizure took place and I was re-medicated on a slow wean.. But when I was recovering from serotonin syndrome, I'd lost a lot of my short term memory (past and present.) My one medical doctor (who knew I played piano) suggested me to practice piano again.... And to listen to classical piano/orchestral music to repair my memory loss- it has helped. I lost about 4 years of memory (short and long term, from the seizures..) and now I hear music or songs - and they immediately repair memory pathways (if it's a song I know,) or it brings me a sense of "something" (favourable feelings) if it's new. But my "past" (the 4 yrs I lost) - it comes back, if even only for a few days.... Music brings me back my brain pathways that are damaged/"lost"/"temporarily lost" Music is so healing....neuropathically, but also ...mentally in other ways.. So. Your channel is a newfound favourite, thank you for doing this!!
You should check out Tom MacDonalds Best Rapper Ever Epic inner battle and was released a while before Ren did it. ❤ love NF as well great reaction bruv!!!
Can I suggest Falling In Reverse? I think you would give great reactions to songs like Zombified, Popular Monster, Voices In My Head, Watch The World Burn, Last Resort Reimagined (original song was from Papa Roach.) Almost any song from them touch on subjects you could react, analyze and give valuable input about. Also, Ronnie Radke, the lead singer and person who put the band together, allows reactions to their music and videos and actually supports them and sometimes reacts to reactions as well. I believe he allows them to be monetized just like Ren does. 💙
This might sound weird , but I’ve always thought that the barren land and the people in white are along the mines of what you said , they have made progress , but how they had to do it was the point I think, no has realized that you have to go to a place nobody goes to where things aren’t popular and you are the weirdo or the elephant in the room like the lady on the swing in the middle of nowhere , not sure if that makes sense but I think the real work starts when you see that you can’t stay the same and change at the same time
Don’t do the journey. To many start the journey and lose interest because not every song has deep meaning. So people like yourself who come at NF from a mental health view don’t have anything to react to, so you end up listening to the music. If you’re going to react to him I would pick and choose certain songs.
Agreed. The must do are Mansion, intro II, how could you leave us, when I grow up, hate myself, Nate, Mama and Hope. Mansion and how could you leave us are the key to the whole journey, without them a lot of the recurring themes in his story and songs are lost.
NF is simply brilliant. Appreciate your reaction. The woman in white on the swing represents his mother (who died from overdose). She has 3 bloons representing her 3 children. It's a very sad tribute. 💜
I never connected that. Which breaks my heart when you see him on the swing
NF Mansion is a must have to react to!
I agree
NF's lyrics are painfully real and honest. That's what makes him so brilliant. He brings up all the fears, thoughts and ugly truths about yourself that you've been trying to hide. His brand is NFrealmusic (the hat he's wearing says "Real"). He does not want to fake anything.
I suggest you continue with his song "Mansion", it's an important foundation for the rest of the NF journey. :)
Good to know…thanks!
I would follow his entire journey. It all plays like a story line..from dark to seeing the light at the end in hope.
Leave me alone is the next video to watch after this, then I would start from the beginning at Intro. I'm sure someone will give you the list.
Please do Leave Me Alone!
Absolutely LOVE NF's work.
More to come!
Never....have O watched anybody react to NF and get the cart right off the bat. Followed NF since Mansion and it has been a journey worth every movie he's made and every lyric spoken
That cage is from his song OUTCAST, another great one.
Watch the song “Outcast” to understand the cage.
Very happy to see that you reacted to the search and i’ll suggest to react to mansion of NF thats a very wonderful song
I love this song so much ❤ and the way you broke it down was amazing! I was literally crying watching this video 👏🏻 thank you so much! Saving the video so I can watch it again later ❤
That’s great to hear! Glad you enjoyed it! ❤️🙏
OH MAN! I gotta I say, I love you dude! I’ve been listening to this song since it came out and I watched the video just recently. You saw thinks I never would’ve seen and you connected the objects to the lyrics so well like i never could’ve. This blows my mind right now, because you’re 'just' watching it for the first time. Thank you very much for sharing this reaction. I’m sending much love and a follow from germany.
So nice of you to share this! I appreciate your support! Thank you for subbing! More to come. 🤟❤️🎵🙏
Very nice reaction! I love watching reactions to NF, he's got so much to say and lots of symbolism to figure out! I think the big cage is where he's coming from, where he has kept himself in the past. Very isolated and fearful. After he started making music, going to therapy and figuring things out, he can leave that big cage behind. Not as fearful anymore. But he has his cart-cage because he's not ready to free himself completely. I think the people in white are people that are hopeful in life. NF has no hope at this point. "I'm looking for the map to hope, have you seen it?" he sings.
Glad you liked it! Thanks for your additional insight. Great stuff. 👍🎵

This list is Nikki-1979 List! Please thank her!
Mistake is my favorite NF track!
This is incredible. Thank you so much for sharing this!
@@MusicHealsHQ just subbed excited for you to take the journey. I’ve been addicted to watching NF reactions for 7 years now, you caught more nuggets than I’ve ever seen anyone else. I always like to keep in mind his albums are like seasons, and his songs as episodes, so for you to come in “mid journey” and understand as much as you did is awesome. Also this is the most thorough “NF Journey” list I’ve seen, but the song Happy (Hope album) does have a music video (I’m sure it wasn’t on purpose it’s a missive list!) and it’s important to watch. I would recommend watching lyric video when the song doesn’t have a music video, and when it does pull up lyrics on phone or print out, etc, to follow along as he will be rapping fast sometimes!
Outcast will definitely get you into the cage/mind of NF. Im a proud outcast!
I relate to NF quite a bit, and your analysis of him really made ME feel seen. Especially the part about being able to always keep people guessing, but if someone is actually willing to put in the time and effort, then our core actually isn’t that complicated.
Great to hear that! Thanks 🙏
My brother just passed and I stumbled on this video and I just wanted to say thank you. I felt like I was spiraling and this helped me put my mind in a better place.
I’m so sorry to hear about your brother. Thank you for sharing your valuable feedback! Glad you’re here!
Maiby the shoping card is some sort of material thing that makes him happy and helps him be distracted from his problems
Thanks for watching
I'm glad you had a similar reaction to the "where'd the beat go?" moment that I did, musically it's so epic, it breaks the 4th wall, it gives me the brain tingles
Notice that at the beginning of the video he's dragging the cart with his burdens but at the end of the video he's pushing the cart - he's taking some control over his direction...
I love your reaction sir. You are obviously a VERY wise man and you broke down this video damm near perfect 👌 ❤ NF is one of my favorite artists 💯
I appreciate that! Glad you’re here.
I love what you do here! I'm subscribed.
Awesome, thank you!
Subbed for NF.
ONLY two months?! I thought you’d been doing this for years you’re so charismatic on camera! I thought your channel was underrated, but I couldn’t be happier to join the channel so early in and almost at 10k! Ty for touching hearts. 💕 I hope your recognition skyrockets ✨
So happy I found this channel. So good❤❤
Glad you enjoy it! Welcome!!
In the beginning you talked about music being a real factor. That’s why I have a car playlist with nothing depressing in it. To much time to think to hard. Music, with that head space doesn’t help.
I love NF! Great reaction! 💙
Intro III is also a really good one by NF
To fully understand NFs music videos and all the different elements you see in them you’ll have to start from the beginning. The cage for example is from a previous music video of a song called OUTCAST :)
New sub! NF is amazing!
Thanks for the sub! Glad you’re here!
I've always thought hus cart was a physical representation of his mind? And he's always having to lug it around and also with his black balloons being his demons/issue he has, or we all have? And I thought the randomly placed "white suits" I think are little bits of hope! And at the end, there was a little hope dropped into his cart..... just my thoughts, but if I'm wrong, I hope ppl correct me! Thank you & cheers for your reaction .. if you haven't yet, I would ask you to look at Ren, hi-ren amazingly awesome!! X
cant wait for you to go on this NF journey
I watched your review/vid on "Hi Ren" and I loved your insight!! ❤ Thank you for this...
I love that you're looking at NF's music!! Both of these artists I personally adore... As a person living/sometimes struggling with my mental health (as all of us do.)
But ...your insights touch me!
"Music has a healing power"- YES! it does!!!
I wanted to share ... I hope you don't mind.
I was diagnosed with bipolar disorder after being given the wrong SSRI and it uptaked too fast, so I encountered psychosis in my teens/adolescence, and further endured serotonin syndrome/was having nightly seizures - for months - until a grand mal seizure took place and I was re-medicated on a slow wean..
But when I was recovering from serotonin syndrome, I'd lost a lot of my short term memory (past and present.) My one medical doctor (who knew I played piano) suggested me to practice piano again.... And to listen to classical piano/orchestral music to repair my memory loss- it has helped.
I lost about 4 years of memory (short and long term, from the seizures..) and now I hear music or songs - and they immediately repair memory pathways (if it's a song I know,) or it brings me a sense of "something" (favourable feelings) if it's new.
But my "past" (the 4 yrs I lost) - it comes back, if even only for a few days.... Music brings me back my brain pathways that are damaged/"lost"/"temporarily lost"
Music is so healing....neuropathically, but also ...mentally in other ways..
So. Your channel is a newfound favourite, thank you for doing this!!
So glad you’re doing better. Appreciate your kind words and support! ❤️🎵🙏
hey, great reaction! I think u would love LET YOU DOWN - from NF as well!
Session 9 by Skitz Kraven
He suffers from IED, Schizophrenia, Depression, and other things.
He raps about his bad thoughts
Just subscribed, really enjoying your videos so far 🥰
Thanks for subbing! Glad you’re here! 🤟🎵🙏
This song and video has a follow up called "Leave Me Alone" where NF talks more about his OCD. Great reaction. Subbed for more NF>
More to come!
Thanks 🙏
Yes yes yes I subbed for more NF
Amazing reaction. Subscribed for the NF Journey. It will amaze you. A big hug 🫂
Thank you so much! ❤️🎵🙏
You should try NF Mansion ... it's his mental fight with fear ... kinda like Ren
I’m at 12:26, I’m hoping you have the lyrics in front of you. My boy is about to go in shortly 😊
❤
🙏❤️🎵
You need to react to his video HOPE. It’s a masterpiece.
May I suggest Livingston, Shadow. It's a new song by a new artist about anxiety.
You should check out Tom MacDonalds Best Rapper Ever
Epic inner battle and was released a while before Ren did it. ❤ love NF as well great reaction bruv!!!
Can I suggest Falling In Reverse? I think you would give great reactions to songs like Zombified, Popular Monster, Voices In My Head, Watch The World Burn, Last Resort Reimagined (original song was from Papa Roach.) Almost any song from them touch on subjects you could react, analyze and give valuable input about. Also, Ronnie Radke, the lead singer and person who put the band together, allows reactions to their music and videos and actually supports them and sometimes reacts to reactions as well. I believe he allows them to be monetized just like Ren does. 💙
Great reaction! New sub! My suggestions is for you to do Leave me alone, which is the sequel to The Search, then start the journey on All I have.
Thanks for the sub! I’ll check it out.
❤
If you like heavier stuff I suggest songs for example from Linkin Park, Breaking Benjamin and Citizen Solgier
This might sound weird , but I’ve always thought that the barren land and the people in white are along the mines of what you said , they have made progress , but how they had to do it was the point I think, no has realized that you have to go to a place nobody goes to where things aren’t popular and you are the weirdo or the elephant in the room like the lady on the swing in the middle of nowhere , not sure if that makes sense but I think the real work starts when you see that you can’t stay the same and change at the same time
Thanks for watching and sharing this. More to come… 🙏🎵❤️😎
Please do NF and Tech n9ne TRUST u will luv tech n9ne!
Slim Shady used to throw up right before a battle. JUST SAYING.😂 Wipe my face clean up my vomit.
plz react to august, betty and cardigan from taylor swift
Its a triology amazingly well written, u wont regret it !!
please listen to talk to a friend by rain city drive
Could you react to "Creep" from Stone Temple Pilots ?
Absolutely excellent breakdowns and commentary! Great hanging in to the very last moment. 🗝
Welcome to Thee, NF Journey. 🩸🗝
Thanks so much!!
Don’t do the journey. To many start the journey and lose interest because not every song has deep meaning. So people like yourself who come at NF from a mental health view don’t have anything to react to, so you end up listening to the music. If you’re going to react to him I would pick and choose certain songs.
Agreed.
The must do are Mansion, intro II, how could you leave us, when I grow up, hate myself, Nate, Mama and Hope.
Mansion and how could you leave us are the key to the whole journey, without them a lot of the recurring themes in his story and songs are lost.
