Ik, I first listened to NF back in 2015 as a senior in high school and I was finding out about myself and people around me and the calling on my life and his music related a lot because I had so many thoughts and emotions running and I gotta give credit where it's due. I gotta thank God and thank NF for being used by God to speak to those who don't have a voice to explain their inner pain. But man, he's still my favorite artist to this day and I'm a better positive man than I've ever been in my life. I'm new to your channel and love the content! Stay blessed everyone!
The guy just can't put out trash! Rapping, singing, melodies, all of it. I'm a disabled combat Veteran that was diagnosed with PTSD, anxiety, and severe depression. I can relate with this song a lot!
Hey Gary, I have no idea if you have the remotest interest in woodworking, but if you do, you should look into Rob Cosman's Purple Heart Program. It's designed specifically for combat vets to give them a therapeutic and creative outlet and has helped a number of people.
I’ve heard this song 1000 times but some how still gets me worked up every time. The emotion in this just kills you 🥺 also, I can’t believe we’re already about to go into the second album, it’s only going to get better from here!
Before I heard any of NF’s music, I never really found a song that 100% spoke to me, that I could completely relate to. If I heard a song I would go “wow, that’s kind of relatable” and listen it… then I heard NF, more specifically this song. And it made me feel heard, as if I’m not the only feeling these things. It got me through a lot of difficult obstacles, it still does.
When I heard this song the first time, I was driving... pulled over and cried, yelled and every dark shit from my long lasting depression just came out. NF is just AMAZING. Got me thrue very dark hours!
That comment was right. As far as Nate goes, ya'll have not come even close to reaching the peak of what this man can do in his music. Can't wait for the rest of this journey with you both. Really appreciate how deeply you both feel his music.
I am a 57 yo health care provider. I am listening to Rap for the first time in my life. Suicide is at an all time high. Nate has a gift of being vulnerable and allowing others to share with him and journey with him, during their struggles with mental health. Thank you Nate ! Thank you guys for taking this journey. The journey is healing :) You will be amazed.
I have periods of depression and it's difficult to describe it to someone who doesn't experience the same lows. I eventually just started directing them to this song because it perfectly describes how I feel for weeks and sometimes months at a time. Such a great song.
When you mentioned the comment you spoke of about Nate saving lives, that’s absolutely true. He speaks on it in Therapy Session(the song). Nate has so many ways to make you feel all the hidden emotions that you wouldn’t normally bring out in front of anyone, much less on camera. Eric, Nate is phenomenal at letting you know that you’re not the only one in a certain situation and that’s why he has the following that he has. Excellent reaction, as always. I’m super excited for you two to continue this journey and experience the changing power of NF’s music. It only gets better from here.
100%, he always says "we" and "us" and in later albums constantly talks about how we are in this together. He even has a song about it, 'just like you".....
There are very few songs in this world that explain my depression and anxiety perfectly. This is one of them, and it's one of the only songs that legit makes me cry. Fun fact: if you hear high pitch voices, or any other voices, in one of his songs and there is no featured artist then it's NF singing. They often change his pitch and make him have almost a feminine quality.
I never heard this song until now and I feel the same way. I’ve been bawling like a baby for 10 minutes now over a song and the only other song that legit made me cry was also from him with “how could you leave us”…. Nate has a superpower to touch your soul with every song he writes.
My story to this song is this: I have read so many people say you find NF when you need him. I lost my 30 year old daughter unexpectedly on Jan. 19th, 2020 and about 1 week later I heard this song. It absolutely broke me to the point that I released ALL of my grief from the loss of my dear daughter. I cried hard all day. Even though it is nearly 2 1/2 years later I am still paralyzed and lost to who I am. I will forever have this hole in my heart. This song just gets me. Thank you for doing this one. It is such an incredibly special song with a message that we can all relate to at some time or another. Great reaction ✌❤
This hit me so hard it actually had me crying. For years after an abusive marriage and pretty severe head trauma, I felt paralyzed. I was emotionless and cold to everything and everyone. I did not recognize myself, and felt almost robotic. This was such a beautiful and heart wrenching way for him to bring words to that kind of stage in life. Thank you for introducing me to such an amazing talent.
The best part about NF is that he really does make you feel not alone in every song. He also always brings his fans up in his songs he knows they struggle and they talk to him all the time and he really takes the time to listen
The most hauntingly beautiful song that describes a battle with depression. NF’s music is pure validation of emotions that most people have dealt with in one form or another. Thank you for sharing your thoughts on his catalog.
It’s been several years since I’ve listened to NF’s older music, so I am coming along on this journey with you guys as if it’s the first time (all over again). The comments are right though, this is just the very beginning… we still have so many more hard hitters to get through. Another great reaction guys.
I really appreciate the reference to David. I had never made the comparison, but now that I've heard it, it paints NF in that light. Thank you. Going forward the question is not only "how can he get better" but "does this guy ever make a bad song"? Even the best of artists will have a song that will fall flat. Some NF songs don't hit as hard as others, but I have yet to hear a song from him that I would call a miss. He's truly unique in his diversity, growth, and talent.
Hey Boys! This song has literally been a saving grace for me. Nate in and of himself really saves lives. I really felt the same way Eric did, for a long time, until one day, the feelings finally came. Religion or not, Nate really knows how to reach his audience, while just putting his feelings on paper. Great reaction, and cant wait for the rest of the journey and beyond.
Therapy session is next, I am so excited to see those reactions. Remember that between albums is only a year, so the progression you hear in him and his production is very short.
I can say for 100% his music has at least helped 1 person like him dax and jellyroll are a huge part of why I'm still here it's been a crazy past 3-4 years like I'm lucky to even be here
He saved me his music literally helped me heal and realize how fucking depressed and sad I was and got me to get off my ass and change his song WAKE UP and this one really hit with me
silent watcher here. i just had to say i genuinely appreciate how much you guys listen to the lyrics and really break them down. to Kyle, i empathize with you and how deeply you feel the lyrics when listening to music. it makes me feel seen. keep doing what you’re doing 🖤
As a Christian who’s now 20, I don’t think I would have made it through my past without understanding that there is someone who knows exactly how I feel, I love nf when I came to one of his songs “if you want love” and that made me addicted to him, I usually hate rap music but he’s definitely saved me I was 15 and I made some deep scars into my arms
I discovered NF in 2017 when I was in the middle of my depression. This was the first song I heard from him then Let You Down. He made me feel okay to be a depressed Christian and when I tried to take my life, his music helped me find the strength to get help. NF has put things I have felt into words for me and his lyrics have always touched a part of my soul no one else could. I love seeing people travel this journey because NF was my entire recovery and part of why I was able to process bad things in my life and heal!
Eric, I really hope you read this... I've watched this reaction before but came back to a few of my favorites from you all that I had saved and this is one of them. At 9:25 when you talked about how you can relate to it because you wonder,( where is the real me?) I absolutely broke in that moment. Tears just pouring down my face right now. Because that's exactly how I am currently feeling. I feel so disconnected from life and I've got so many great things going on, yet I feel like I'm numb and I find myself picking up a couple of drinks after work just to feel something other than what I'm feeling (or lack there of). Usually. I don't know why I felt like sharing that, but, your reaction in this moment really got me 😢❤
Truly enjoying your guy’s journey through NF and your vulnerability. Honestly I didn’t expect that from you guys in my first couple minutes of watching you both a couple months ago, but then quickly subscribed. There are a lot of really good tracks not on the journey that I hope you go back to, but I really do recommend reacting to the entire Search album when you get to it.
Literally crying at work listening to this song. It hits me so hard for years now I’ve been nothing but a walking zombie go to work go home play video games sleep repeat. About 3-4 weeks back now I found him when I was at work waiting for my roommate and I was the only one in the store so I just laid down and cried with some music on. I can’t recall exactly what songs started playing of his first but this one got my attention and I felt it soo fucking much. Lately I’ve been only listening to NF and his song Hope has literally given me Hope. To say he is not has IS saving my life would be a understatement
Kyle - your commentary comparing NF to King David were moving. Thank you for speaking directly from your heart. NF is a special and extraordinary music artist to say the least. My son who was diagnosed was diagnosed with autism and apraxia of speech loves his music. Although he can’t speak, NF words impact him a meaningful and positive way. Keep up the great work, gentlemen!
I always start to cry listening to this song. He has such a talent making me really feel the things i'm usually surpressing and this song especially hits home. Being able to do this is a gift and i love him and his music for that
Love this song so much.. but scars me at the same time.. I remember playing this song on repeat when I was stuck and confused with depression.. hate it. But love It.
Paralyzed was the song that got me into NF - it just resounded with me so deeply in my soul that all I could do was cry, honestly. Back when I was still ashamed to cry. I think Nate played a huge part in breaking me out of my own traumas and depression and helped me learn how to see them and start to cope with them. Since then, I've been an avid fan of him and follower of his work and I'm so glad he continues to let people see themselves through his words. He is a blessing in the shape of a man.
I really liked your reaction here. I've recently discovered NF as well, and this is one of my favorites. The correlation to King David was spot on, I had never even thought of that. I can honestly say there isn't a single song on the Mansion album I don't love. I love to see two brothers hanging out and getting along. My wife and I are raising 3 boys ages (15, 13, 11) and every year that passes seems to be less fighting and more brotherly love. You are providing a good model of what it's like to be brothers. Keep up the good work.
Much appreciated. We weren't always like this no, but over the years yes we have grown more of a bond...This show has been so much fun to do with Kyle.
This is exactly how I feel, I was sexually abused for 12 years…It’s how I feel daily, and artist like him keep me going! Probably TMI, but it’s a part of who I am. Not religious at all because of what I’ve been though but I am always trying my best to be a better person!
This song absolutely saved lives. It saved and continues to save my life. I remember hitting a lowpoint in my life and my sister sent this to me. I'm not a crier, but when I heard this song express everything I was feeling, I broke down. This song is incredible, great reaction y'all.
Can you hold me is the actual last track on mansion, but I know what you are saying. But I recommend the last song, can you hold me. Its a great song that has another artist almost like a duet sounding. I think it’s one that gets overlooked a lot. Great reaction guys. Keep it up
I started listening to NF when he had barely any subscribers to see him grow and remain humble is amazing. People forget hes a singer, songwriter, actor, a poet, and will forever explain our struggles.
I love this song so much. I was having trouble describing how I felt to my therapist until I heard this song. I printed out the lyrics and showed them to her. Nate verbalizes my feelings so well ❤
NF is more than Amazing, this song hits home and has got me through so much pain that I am currently dealing with. This is one of his songs that I play on repeat and can relate so much to it. Thank you NF !!!
Every time I watch one of your new uploads it feels like it's Friday and I'm just jamming with some great people. You guys really brighten some of my worst days. Thanks for being you!
It is crazy you mentioned that when you listen to NF you know you are going to hurt, but it's not a hurt without Hope. Here we are now with his song called "Hope" that just came out and the album right around the corner. That is just something that really stood out to me.
when Kyle gets emotional, I literally lose my shit. i am still very new to y'alls channel but I'm never disappointed. I feel a deep soul connection to you both. music is the universal language after all. but kyle...holy shit. I come from a world where men don't show emotion so seeing you feel everything makes me sob. in a good way. please keep doing what you're both doing. ❤
@@rykerroadMOM3123 if you gave birth to these 2 beautiful humans, I applaud you ma'am. Again, still new to the channel but from what I've seen, they are opposites but collaborate in the universal language way. Through music. My kids all have different dad's and I see this in them even in their young age(13,6,2). Its a love hate battle most days but any thing involving music....they all come together and bond as one. BlessUp mom. Clearly you did at least one thing right with your boys...music. ❤
@@ttownsend85thank you, sweetheart! Music has always been prominent in our life for sure, and I agree that it brings us together. (My 3 boys have different fathers too) We span a wide variety of genres and it's so fun! I'm learning so much about music I never thought I would enjoy from this channel 🤗 I'll be recording with them again soon and I can't wait! Tomorrow evening, Thursday, is a live stream at 7:30 or so, hope to see you there 😘🤘
It’s great to watch your reactions! I really appreciate your comments and listening to the NF Journey with you. I can relate to so many of his songs and has made me think and helped me with my struggles. Paralyzed is one of the best depictions of depression I have heard on a song. The reference to “David of our time” is awesome.
NF has been the most impactful singer that has hit me in a way. Made me realize how deep some of my pain was and worked on figuring out how to cope with it and accept it and move forward. also his new album hope has helped me realize to stop holding onto things also this from Hope; "30 years you've been draggin' your feet Tellin' me I'm the reason we're stagnant 30 years you've been claiming you're honest And promising progress, well, where's it at? I don't want you to feel like a failure I know this hurts But I gave you your chance to deliver Now it's my turn" and the ending where he said he takes the reins made me finally realize that I need to put everything behind me and take things head on and improve my life. So I did. I removed the people I held onto hoping they'd become the person they used to be. I said my goodbyes to the ones that hurt me via a message. I've lost a bunch of weight and so much more has changed since i've been listening to NF. I can't thank him enough for how much he's been an impact. I've even thought about getting a tattoo as well but I want to make sure that it's something I love and has a lot of meaning. Anyways, Thank you guys for the reaction. I love watching for new reactions that you guys do. Keep it up!
As Christians we were never promised that we wouldn't have trials/tribulation in this world... nothing in the Bible says this life will be easy. David was a man after God's own heart.. he wanted to know the heart of God more than anything deep down.. yet, he made huge mistakes (adultery, murder) and because he yielded to God and repented God was still able to use him.
I just wanna say, every song you guys react to from NF is a song I already know, his music truly is more than beats and rhymes, he has such a passionate voice. There are so many songs I relate to and I love seeing you guys’ reactions to his melody. The pure burn and urge in his voice, you know he is fr with his lyrics. You guys have stayed with him throughout Perception etc. And that’s more than I expected. I’m glad I found this channel.
Thank you guys so much for this reaction is this is one of the tracks that I hadn’t heard yet even though I followed NF for a long time. And ironically it’s what I’ve been pulling myself out of for the last few years. Thank you thank you thank you & please keep up the awesome reactions!
Going through this journey right now with you, absolutely thankful you do. And "coming back" here now, after his new Release, i would safely say: He did it. He gave you Hope. What a foresight you two had here...
Your walk with God is not a path of sunshine and rainbows. It’s walking every dark path, wounded and struggling. But you have someone beside you saying you can do it. I am with you. You aren’t alone. Great reaction guys. Loving this journey.
Thank you both. Everyday I get off I get home and check to see if you posted another NF reaction. It’s refreshing to see you both resonate with his songs. Best part of my days.
Love that you guys don’t just listen to these songs you take them in and feel them. I never thought I would enjoy watching people react to videos but here we are. It makes him even more relatable. Buckle up guys can’t wait for the rest!
In 2013, I had a suicide attempt. I've been sober for 10 years now. But I've always explained to people that I was numb. I couldn't FEEL happy, or sad, or angry. I was just numb. This song is one of my new favs. I've watched this reaction video many, many times. I'm one of those people that when I'm sad, I need to listen to sad music. I just need to belt out some I feel so much better. I don't listen to music, I FEEL music. Watching you two feel the music you listen to, it's just great. I too can cry at a lot of songs. But then I end with 4Non Blondes 'What's going on' and feel great! As you both keep saying, how does he know?! Just like Vessel, and Ronnie, Nate knows!
THIS...this is how I felt in the months and even years after I lost my son. I just couldn't FEEL anymore. It took me YEARS to be able to feel anything again. I felt the same after I lost my husband. The only thing that saved me was the birth of my daughter 7 months after losing my husband. NF has a Godly way of vocalizing true emotions. Bless this man!!
Interestingly I have often compared Nate to Solomon because he gives Proverbs for our time; especially his song Remember This. Actually the last song on Mansion is Can You Hold Me ft Britt Nicole. It is beautiful and you should check it out
When i was introduced to NF i was shown the happier songs but he grew to be one of my favorite artists because of songs like this i dont relate to them as much as others but the emotion factor drew me in
I cry when I hear this song, I had listened to it when a boss of mine had left the company I was working at who I genuinely liked working with/under, and leaving me as the only person who actually gave a damn about our clients, it was a therapy organization that is now being pushed with productivity standards and unethical practices.
I know you guys won’t probably read this with all the views and how old this video is but this song and your reaction was meant for me tonight. Have felt myself slipping and couldn’t find how I have felt. This song sums it up. Typed in emotional reactions so have my self feel something again and you guys brought that. Thank you.
So jealous that you guys get to experience these as first timers. The roller coaster hasn't even started yet for you guys, just wait!
So excited!

There's a lot I would give to experience his music again, and yet I don't need to at the same time. It hits every. time.
The guy just can't put out trash! Rapping, singing, melodies, all of it. I'm a disabled combat Veteran that was diagnosed with PTSD, anxiety, and severe depression. I can relate with this song a lot!
God bless you…My prayers are with you…. I’ve def been in this place🙏🏼❤️🙏🏼
@@jenniferhoolihan1450 thank you! It's an uphill battle for sure but I will prevail!
Thank you for your service and sacrifice❣️

I just found this channel. As someone who also deals with those issues. NF is very therapeutic for me
I was unable to describe how I felt after my son passed away four years ago. Nate did it for me with this song.
I'm so sorry. Thats absolutely awful.
I have similar experience wishing you love ❤️
He can rap, he can sing, he can act. I'll lose it when he dances 😆
i loved that comment NF is a glimmer of HOPE...
I’ve heard this song 1000 times but some how still gets me worked up every time. The emotion in this just kills you 🥺 also, I can’t believe we’re already about to go into the second album, it’s only going to get better from here!
I was going to post the same thing as I sit at my desk at work tears welling up in my eyes. I still sob listening to “How Could You Leave Us”.
I am the same way. This song hits me hard.
I'm a 41 year old male and can still never get through that song without crying my eyes out
@@joeyhernandez8665 44 year old male. From Norway. Same. This hits so hard! It's like he's reading my mind 🥺😭

That person who told you this isn't the peak didn't lie, the growth is unreal, he really understands the assignment
That comment was right. As far as Nate goes, ya'll have not come even close to reaching the peak of what this man can do in his music. Can't wait for the rest of this journey with you both. Really appreciate how deeply you both feel his music.

Saw him live in Dallas and felt privileged to see it. He really is doing the lords work, like no one else can

I was 15 and I made some deep scars into my arms
I needed a artist like this when I was in my teens and early 20’s, so glad I have a artist like this now but could of really used him then… #RealMusic
REAL SHIT 💯
Not only has he saved people but I also find his drive incredible. His drive alone changed my life.
The tears I've shed listening to this song is unreal. To a few of his songs actually.
I discovered NF in 2017 when I was in the middle of my depression. This was the first song I heard from him then Let You Down.

The comparison to David writing psalms is very valid. What i had also when this album came out back then
Literally crying at work listening to this song. It hits me so hard for years now I’ve been nothing but a walking zombie go to work go home play video games sleep repeat. About 3-4 weeks back now I found him when I was at work waiting for my roommate and I was the only one in the store so I just laid down and cried with some music on. I can’t recall exactly what songs started playing of his first but this one got my attention and I felt it soo fucking much. Lately I’ve been only listening to NF and his song Hope has literally given me Hope. To say he is not has IS saving my life would be a understatement
Kyle - your commentary comparing NF to King David were moving. Thank you for speaking directly from your heart. NF is a special and extraordinary music artist to say the least. My son who was diagnosed was diagnosed with autism and apraxia of speech loves his music. Although he can’t speak, NF words impact him a meaningful and positive way. Keep up the great work, gentlemen!
I always start to cry listening to this song. He has such a talent making me really feel the things i'm usually surpressing and this song especially hits home. Being able to do this is a gift and i love him and his music for that
Love this song so much.. but scars me at the same time.. I remember playing this song on repeat when I was stuck and confused with depression.. hate it. But love It.
Paralyzed was the song that got me into NF - it just resounded with me so deeply in my soul that all I could do was cry, honestly. Back when I was still ashamed to cry. I think Nate played a huge part in breaking me out of my own traumas and depression and helped me learn how to see them and start to cope with them. Since then, I've been an avid fan of him and follower of his work and I'm so glad he continues to let people see themselves through his words. He is a blessing in the shape of a man.
I really liked your reaction here. I've recently discovered NF as well, and this is one of my favorites. The correlation to King David was spot on, I had never even thought of that. I can honestly say there isn't a single song on the Mansion album I don't love. I love to see two brothers hanging out and getting along. My wife and I are raising 3 boys ages (15, 13, 11) and every year that passes seems to be less fighting and more brotherly love. You are providing a good model of what it's like to be brothers. Keep up the good work.
Much appreciated. We weren't always like this no, but over the years yes we have grown more of a bond...This show has been so much fun to do with Kyle.
This is exactly how I feel, I was sexually abused for 12 years…It’s how I feel daily, and artist like him keep me going! Probably TMI, but it’s a part of who I am. Not religious at all because of what I’ve been though but I am always trying my best to be a better person!
You made it through and that's what matters. It's not TMI it's stuff that needs brought to light.
@@Rykerroad ☺️ appreciate you!
He's an amazing person he truly does save lives.
This song absolutely saved lives. It saved and continues to save my life. I remember hitting a lowpoint in my life and my sister sent this to me. I'm not a crier, but when I heard this song express everything I was feeling, I broke down. This song is incredible, great reaction y'all.
Perfect duo for the NF journey. Display of both emotion we all experience
"when you listen to NF you know its gonna hurt, but its not a hurt without hope" listening to this now with the new album out soon gives me chills.
Get your 🍿 it’s going to be a 🎥
Love the authenticity guys. When you make it big and have 2.5 million subscribers, try to stay this authentic.
Can you hold me is the actual last track on mansion, but I know what you are saying. But I recommend the last song, can you hold me. Its a great song that has another artist almost like a duet sounding. I think it’s one that gets overlooked a lot. Great reaction guys. Keep it up
I mustve listened to this song hundreds of times over the years. 💕🔥
A song to throw in because it doesn’t really have a place in the journey, listen to ‘Chasing by NF ft. Mikayla Sipple’
I started listening to NF when he had barely any subscribers to see him grow and remain humble is amazing. People forget hes a singer, songwriter, actor, a poet, and will forever explain our struggles.
I am a 51 year old guy, and this song brings tears to my eyes every time.
I love this song so much. I was having trouble describing how I felt to my therapist until I heard this song. I printed out the lyrics and showed them to her. Nate verbalizes my feelings so well ❤
NF can really get in head and feels, he’s an amazing artist hopefully new album this year
This song got me through one of the toughest periods of my life, NF saved me. His music is simply amazing! Loved the reaction🫶🏼
I'm one of those people. True story. Saved me and helped me,find Me! You find him exactly when you need to!
NF NEVER DISAPPOINTS! 💐💐🤷♀️
NF is more than Amazing, this song hits home and has got me through so much pain that I am currently dealing with. This is one of his songs that I play on repeat and can relate so much to it. Thank you NF !!!
This song never fails to make me cry..I relate so much...nate is my voice.
Every time I watch one of your new uploads it feels like it's Friday and I'm just jamming with some great people. You guys really brighten some of my worst days. Thanks for being you!
The vibe of this reminds me of two vastly different songs, When It's Cold I'd Like To Die by Moby, and Outside by Staind.
My all time Favorite song off the album!! Great reaction like always!!
favorite NF track hands down, gives me goosebumps every time
This was the first song from NF I've heard and from that time I'm in love with his music. This song means a lot to me 💜
It is crazy you mentioned that when you listen to NF you know you are going to hurt, but it's not a hurt without Hope. Here we are now with his song called "Hope" that just came out and the album right around the corner. That is just something that really stood out to me.
Artist in all levels!!#NFREALMUSIC
when Kyle gets emotional, I literally lose my shit. i am still very new to y'alls channel but I'm never disappointed. I feel a deep soul connection to you both. music is the universal language after all.
but kyle...holy shit. I come from a world where men don't show emotion so seeing you feel everything makes me sob. in a good way. please keep doing what you're both doing. ❤
What a sweet comment, thank you ttownsend85! We're so glad to have you here on Rykerroad 💜💜
@@rykerroadMOM3123 if you gave birth to these 2 beautiful humans, I applaud you ma'am. Again, still new to the channel but from what I've seen, they are opposites but collaborate in the universal language way. Through music. My kids all have different dad's and I see this in them even in their young age(13,6,2). Its a love hate battle most days but any thing involving music....they all come together and bond as one. BlessUp mom. Clearly you did at least one thing right with your boys...music. ❤
@@ttownsend85thank you, sweetheart! Music has always been prominent in our life for sure, and I agree that it brings us together. (My 3 boys have different fathers too) We span a wide variety of genres and it's so fun! I'm learning so much about music I never thought I would enjoy from this channel 🤗 I'll be recording with them again soon and I can't wait! Tomorrow evening, Thursday, is a live stream at 7:30 or so, hope to see you there 😘🤘
It’s great to watch your reactions! I really appreciate your comments and listening to the NF Journey with you. I can relate to so many of his songs and has made me think and helped me with my struggles. Paralyzed is one of the best depictions of depression I have heard on a song. The reference to “David of our time” is awesome.
Thank you both for such real and heartfelt reactions. Please continue this, it is so refreshing and beneficial for those watching.
I love how Nate reminds us we aren't the only ones feeling these feelings. 💜💜💜
NF has been the most impactful singer that has hit me in a way. Made me realize how deep some of my pain was and worked on figuring out how to cope with it and accept it and move forward. also his new album hope has helped me realize to stop holding onto things also this from Hope;
"30 years you've been draggin' your feet
Tellin' me I'm the reason we're stagnant
30 years you've been claiming you're honest
And promising progress, well, where's it at?
I don't want you to feel like a failure
I know this hurts
But I gave you your chance to deliver
Now it's my turn"
and the ending where he said he takes the reins made me finally realize that I need to put everything behind me and take things head on and improve my life. So I did. I removed the people I held onto hoping they'd become the person they used to be. I said my goodbyes to the ones that hurt me via a message. I've lost a bunch of weight and so much more has changed since i've been listening to NF. I can't thank him enough for how much he's been an impact. I've even thought about getting a tattoo as well but I want to make sure that it's something I love and has a lot of meaning. Anyways, Thank you guys for the reaction. I love watching for new reactions that you guys do. Keep it up!
As Christians we were never promised that we wouldn't have trials/tribulation in this world... nothing in the Bible says this life will be easy. David was a man after God's own heart.. he wanted to know the heart of God more than anything deep down.. yet, he made huge mistakes (adultery, murder) and because he yielded to God and repented God was still able to use him.
I just wanna say, every song you guys react to from NF is a song I already know, his music truly is more than beats and rhymes, he has such a passionate voice. There are so many songs I relate to and I love seeing you guys’ reactions to his melody. The pure burn and urge in his voice, you know he is fr with his lyrics. You guys have stayed with him throughout Perception etc. And that’s more than I expected. I’m glad I found this channel.
Most beautiful song! ❤️🖤
My fav... but i love all Nate's songs
Great reaction guys!
And the crazy thing is as emotional as this album is the next one therapy session is In my opinion his most emotional album out
You can tell Kyle felt this one in his soul man.
Third time watching your reaction. I am 64. NF is the only hip hop I listen too. I can not explain my need to listen. I just need to listen to him.
You all are coming up to Therapy Session, this whole album is so great, I can’t wait for you to react 🔥🔥❤️❤️
Ngl, I appreciate Kyle had to wipe his eyes a bit before reacting. This song is impactful, and it makes me as a listener feel very introspective.
NF = 🐐
I remember listening to this song. I broke down during my workout. I just felt so broken after this song. It really showed me a few things.
Thank you guys so much for this reaction is this is one of the tracks that I hadn’t heard yet even though I followed NF for a long time. And ironically it’s what I’ve been pulling myself out of for the last few years. Thank you thank you thank you & please keep up the awesome reactions!
Going through this journey right now with you, absolutely thankful you do. And "coming back" here now, after his new Release, i would safely say: He did it. He gave you Hope. What a foresight you two had here...
I love how honest you guys are in your reactions and how you relate to his songs!!!
Your walk with God is not a path of sunshine and rainbows.
It’s walking every dark path, wounded and struggling. But you have someone beside you saying you can do it. I am with you. You aren’t alone.
Great reaction guys. Loving this journey.
Thank you both. Everyday I get off I get home and check to see if you posted another NF reaction. It’s refreshing to see you both resonate with his songs. Best part of my days.
I sub'b up when you dropped the David and Psalm's bomb. .........cowboy up cowboy!
Nate really knows how to tug at the heartstrings ❤️
Love that you guys don’t just listen to these songs you take them in and feel them. I never thought I would enjoy watching people react to videos but here we are. It makes him even more relatable. Buckle up guys can’t wait for the rest!
Absolutely amazing reaction! Love your summary and reflections at the end 👍🏻
In 2013, I had a suicide attempt. I've been sober for 10 years now. But I've always explained to people that I was numb. I couldn't FEEL happy, or sad, or angry. I was just numb. This song is one of my new favs. I've watched this reaction video many, many times. I'm one of those people that when I'm sad, I need to listen to sad music. I just need to belt out some I feel so much better. I don't listen to music, I FEEL music. Watching you two feel the music you listen to, it's just great. I too can cry at a lot of songs. But then I end with 4Non Blondes 'What's going on' and feel great!
As you both keep saying, how does he know?! Just like Vessel, and Ronnie, Nate knows!
THIS...this is how I felt in the months and even years after I lost my son. I just couldn't FEEL anymore. It took me YEARS to be able to feel anything again. I felt the same after I lost my husband. The only thing that saved me was the birth of my daughter 7 months after losing my husband. NF has a Godly way of vocalizing true emotions. Bless this man!!
The Journey is experiencing Nates Peaks as he continues to master his craft. Every album brings a new peak.
Love watching your guys reaction to nf videos.
Interestingly I have often compared Nate to Solomon because he gives Proverbs for our time; especially his song Remember This. Actually the last song on Mansion is Can You Hold Me ft Britt Nicole. It is beautiful and you should check it out
When i was introduced to NF i was shown the happier songs but he grew to be one of my favorite artists because of songs like this i dont relate to them as much as others but the emotion factor drew me in
You guys are also the best reactors I’ve seen I’ve watched a lot and you focus more on the impact more than others
I cry when I hear this song, I had listened to it when a boss of mine had left the company I was working at who I genuinely liked working with/under, and leaving me as the only person who actually gave a damn about our clients, it was a therapy organization that is now being pushed with productivity standards and unethical practices.
This song just described what I was dealing with in depression and I felt this song so much😭😭
I know you guys won’t probably read this with all the views and how old this video is but this song and your reaction was meant for me tonight. Have felt myself slipping and couldn’t find how I have felt. This song sums it up. Typed in emotional reactions so have my self feel something again and you guys brought that. Thank you.
