      Thank you, I wanted to clarify that, too. The people wearing are memories of people he knew, I'm guessing. I think the person on the swing passed out is his mother who writes about because she left him.

    Congratulations on discovering one of my favorite artists! I'm a bit of an "NF Reaction addict", so I stumbled upon your channel this morning. A few things... This video ("The Search") was shot in Iceland. You did a great job trying to decipher the symbolism -- the balloons indeed represent his burdens -- but, as you mentioned, you're missing some context; this song is the first song off his 2019 album "The Search". He weaves together a lot of symbols throughout his music/videos, beginning with his 2015 album "Mansion" (followed by "Therapy Session" 2016, and "Perception" 2017). He had to take a break after "Perception" due to him falling into a deep depression (which he dives into more on "The Search" album). The shopping cart represents a "portable cage" -- which only really makes sense if you go back to his earlier stuff. So my recommendation, if you want to fully understand NF's music, would be to take the "NF Journey"! Someone else will (hopefully) come along and provide the full list, but to get you started, I'd suggest you go back to the "Mansion" album and do "All I Have", "Intro", "Mansion", and "Wake Up" -- those will set a solid foundation. Here's hoping you do more NF! #nfrealmusic

    The video is filmed in Iceland. The lady on the swing represents his mom who died from an overdose on pills. He said one of his biggest burdens was he didn't call to talk to her before she died. And he never really forgave her for leaving them. But before he came out with this song he said he forgave her. That's why he left some some of his burdens at the swing with her.

      @creaminthecoffee no problem. That's why when he's leaving his burdens at the swing he says "I've been making a whole lot of changes". Because when asked in an interview about the song "how could you leave us" he said he doesn't feel any animosity towards his mom anymore like he had when he wrote that song.

    Subbed! NF is amazing!
    🎶 This is for anyone new who may want to take the NF journey as we call it because he intertwines his music like marvel movies. All of his albums are like a connected series.
    He also hides eggs in his videos which he directs and co produces. For example in his “when i grow up” song there were two hidden eggs in that song: 1. A black balloon by the trash cans (black balloon represents his burdens per search single) 2 In the burger joint he grabbed at receipt that had the date and time of when his song time was being released. Additionally, he had outcast written on his name tag in the janitor scene whic references his Outcast song.
    Another example is in the search song he had cage in background he rapped in from his outcast song.
    The black smile you will see painted on his mouth is explained in his therapy session song.
    Here is the song order:
    MANSION ALBUM:
    1. All I have (VIDEO)
    2. Intro (VIDEO)
    3. Mansion- *will connect to Intro 3. Fear moved in. Also connects to paid my dues. Anger lives in basement*

    Green lights (VIDEO) * This was the first video released before perception came out. Please pay attention to what he has written on the notepad at the end.
    PERCEPTION ALBUM:
    1. Outro (VIDEO) *pay attention to the video. It is like avengers endgame how he connects tons of previous videos materials in this.*
    2. Intro 3 (one of his best songs) *This connects to mansion single. Remember fear reference.

    4. Know- *He pays homage to eminem and 21 pilots* (hype)

    Also he has a ton of eggs like Dont mess with real music written on walls. Pay attention to all writing on the walls*
    SEARCH ALBUM
    Whole album should be listened to but you can choose which you would like to do:
    1 The search (VIDEO) *He pays homage to kanye west. (Cant tell me nothing by kanye and he puts his hands on his head liek kanye did in video) this also connects to outcast re the cage in background)*
    2. When I grow up (VIDEO) *He pays homage to Adele. (To me he also did to snoop in opening scene with kids saying what they wanted to be when they grow up)* Hidden eggs in this

    The people/clothes are "explained" in the Leave Me Alone video. (still cryptically explained but you get some more context).
    In Leave Me Alone, they are trading in their black clothes for the white clothes you see in this video, and getting the fake smile painted on from his Therapy Session song. Which I think is symbolizing they're on the path to "getting better" but are still faking it, and he's the outcast still wearing black and not "joining the club" and going along with them. Still trying to find his own way.
    There's way more to that video but you'll get there (hopefully)

    Love the reaction. This a trip through his mind. The people in the white may be emotions that are burdens to him. He personifies emotions in lots of his lyrics. His cage represents how he kept people away. Issues from his childhood are the reason along with a rough first record experience. We would love you to take an NF Journey. Video shot in Iceland.

    When the base comes in earlier on in the song when he says it’s probably gonna be a long journey but hey, it’s worth it though. That base when he says that line is like slapping the person in the face who is starting to bow out of helping themselves, and again the base is kinda like the slap in the face of like knock it off. It’s worth it get it done, so why don’t people ever talk about that like you’re a musician and you should see that every single part of this because he has OCD has purpose.

    This song and video are reminiscent of the book of Exodus… NF is out the the cage/bondage from the tyrant/pharaoh/fear that has ruled his mind- with the keys that have been given to him now he is on the search in the desert/wilderness looking for the the "map to hope." Even though NF is liberated he still carries his burdens and human baggage much like the Israelites did.

    From they way first I heard him described, he's less a Christian Rapper and more a rapper who happens to be Christian. I like that description as I tend to consider myself more as more agnostic, yet there's so much of his music that can speak to all faiths. I am just starting the NF journey playlist. I'd love to see you react to Just Like You, if you haven't yet.

    They’re out of depression but they’re also like everybody else just roaming through life he is on the search actively trying to get out of depression with the understanding that he will be back into the world where he is just wandering through it. It’s not hard it’s very easy to see what they are trying to achieve with the cinematography, just because you’re not depressed doesn’t mean you’re not wandering through it’s simple I just I still don’t get it. It’s the most exquisite cinematography metaphor that I’ve ever seen because it is so easy to decipher and when people can’t, it hurts my brain because it is so beautifully done.

    The cage came from his album Perception. It represents being trapped in his own mind. His burdens are the balloons and the people are like other mental patients (I think) now Ik the shopping cart was in his music video WHY but idk. I’m guessing the swing represents his emotions or something. In his song Face it from the Mansion album his lyrics say “life is a playground. I go through these mood swings watch everything slide down” so maybe the swing was a reference to that but idk that could be a stretch.

    He is a Christian who raps. His older stuff is blatantly Christian. Check out his songs, Alone, Your Grace, I got Jesus what you got? and start over
    He is an absolute lyrical genius! His songs build on each other in a specific order. Deep and multilayered

  • @MansterBear
    @MansterBear Рік тому +1

    Another good person at catching bars is Knox Hill. And sometimes Crypt does these lyric breakdowns where he has a program that highlights the rhyme sounds throughout the song so you can see the internal/double rhymes that you might not catch just listening.
    Hope you go on the "NF Journey". That's how you'll know what the symbolic stuff like the cart, cage, balloons etc.
    Also, picking NF songs that have videos is like the hardest level of breaking down lyrics, because the videos are so good it's hard to pay attention to the visual references, and catch all the bars lol. "Don't know if I'm making movies or music videos" as the song says.
    For a quick reference Houses/mansion etc are his mind. balloons are his burdens, the cage comes from the song Outcast. The shopping cart is like his mobile cage.
    The "sequel" to this video is Leave Me Alone. but I'd def recommend the Journey. NF fans love watching new listeners take the journey, its tons of song/content and NF fans will be here for it.

    • @TrevandErin

I got some practicing to do but I'll make it hapoen. I actually started the NF journey last week. I think I'm already through the mansion album now. I definitely know what you mean about hard to catch visual and lyrical references at the same time 😂 I just recorded a reaction to intro 2 last night and that was hard to catch everything. I definitely missed some things

    The swing represents everybody’s need to take a break, no matter where they are in their journey because he eventually lays down on the swing as well. Again, it is the most easy to read metaphor that is beautifully done like just because it’s easy doesn’t mean that it’s bad all the reason it’s so easy to read For those of us that aren’t well part of the 70% of Americans in the world that can’t pick up on those things is due to how well it’s done because a metaphor that’s too much is pretentious but a metaphor that’s easy to read is beautiful welcome to the real worldthat shouldn’t be too much to figure out, and I knew as an atheist that so much would be lost on you

    Ignore people screaming about a certain order to listen. Context for these videos expecially is good, and it helps you catch some of the symbolism and themes in most of the videos, but it isn't necessary. Unlike most rappers NF has gotten better at his craft the more he has done. That means that his older music is not as polished as Search or Clouds. This doesn't mean it has no place. I regularly listen to his Mansion album and I love every second, it's goo music and enjoyable to listen to, but comparatively it's nowhere near his current skill. I encourage you to go through the albums in order to get full knowledge in his journey, but I don't think it's necessary to enjoy NF or his music

    Grab your balloons and invite your friends. That means the people that are the closest to you can help you release your burdens because the closest people to you that you trust you can talk about them again another easy metaphor and if you had done your research, he’s back again because he literally said in the beginning that he had to take a break, so he’s saying that he’s back he’s healthy enough and confident in his search and he’s about to start dropping new songs and touring. It’s all out there and all easy to read. It’s a very very uncomplicated metaphor and I’ve watched enough of these reaction videos to know who has intelligence and who doesn’tand this is the one I’ve commented on the most and I’ll leave it at that I don’t know if they shot this in America but to me if I were to see it for the first time my guess would be Scotland or Ireland but there’s also a chance it could be Alaska. I will have to look that up I don’t know everything. I just know that a real person with intelligence can decipher the music video fairly quickly
