In an interview he said he added that last part as a last-minute thing after the track was already recorded. Absolutely love that he did and it was different and unique
I mean I wish he would have made the song a bit longer and ended it nicely that was just a weird ending as he said almost sounds like he barely said the word afraid sounded
@@dylan6996 it all in preference. Personally I think it was a sudden ending to a dramatic final verse and I loved the aesthetic of that. I also love how it almost sounds as if his voice breaks at the end, signifying how scared he is to be afraid and that hits me hard tbh. To me I love the ending, but I can totally see how others wouldn’t like it at the same time. However this is a mixtape, and it’s nice to see him experimenting with new styles
This song hits a lot harder for those of us that battle depression. It so accurately describes the different stages.. falling into depression; fighting it; coming out the other side.
I love the song honestly. He is kinda all over the place with his thoughts and doubts are heavy in the slower parts of the song but the very end it’s like he gets a moment of clarity and stops “drifting” and then just goes for it and expresses what he needs to say and ask for. Really cool technique I think.
The beat was literally him humming layered over and over. This song is actually my favorite from the mixtape. He also said initially it was going to just end with the piano, but it didn’t feel right. So he added that part
This is literally my #1 song lol couldn’t wait for this reaction, surprised u weren’t that into it lol u should listen to it again off camera and just listen without any distractions. The song really pulls me into a place of inspiration and hope. 💝
The fact that it's weird is intentional... It's a song about his mental state/psyche and the beat fits perfectly with the lyrics. By far the deepest and one of the best songs on the album...
probably my favorite song at the moment because the lyrics are just really relatable and on point. the end is my favorite though. a lot of people critique the end but he says some really really powerful stuff at the end there and its really underrated. "tell me im worth it God, give me the faith to rise" and "i'd rather be burned alive then go back to thinking im insignificant" both such powerful lines.
NF is hands-down one of the most talented guys in the industry he just keeps moving the bar You can feel it music and here is passion he’s on another level and this song is straight fire I can’t stop playing it
I read somewhere that NF has had this song for quite sometime and never released it because he said it was missing something and thats where the end came from.
I absolutely love the aesthetic of this song. Its vibes is exactly what I experience when I’m “drifting”. The chilling numbness with the chaos of trying to make your mind clear.
So I was re-listening to NF Drifting … and realized when he says "unknown SOUNDS" he might mean sounds in the nautical term: In nautical terms, the word sound is used to describe the process of determining the depth of water OR In geography, a sound is a smaller body of water typically connected to larger sea or ocean… especially since he says "drifting… watching the world go round" - amazing!
I just realizedd the bar when he said i told look in the mirror and say i love youu actually it refers to his bar from the search : the mind is a powerful place and what y feed it can effect in poweeful way ..... when you wake up and look up at the mirror and thimk you never gonna be great its not you gonna be great but the hate always gonna find you and murder your faith 🔥🔥
It may be just me, but this actually was one of my favorites from the mixtape, but everyone has different tastes. Good reaction and I appreciate that you keep it honest.
I don't know if you caught this but when he says, "My train of though leads to different tracks" then he has himself playing twice right there is such a good part of the song
Dude the ending is one of the things I love the most about this song 💀 i know you said it was weird how it finished subtly but that’s also another aspect that I think is great about it.......the verse was just a burst of emotions as he finally stopped drifting and exclaims that he no longer wants to feel insignificant or afraid.....emotions don’t come in any particular form.....so the the verse is super energetic then ends kinda softly showing us the volatility of feelings in general and how raw emotions are.....you don’t necessarily expect them to come out the way they do
This song hit me so hard when I first listened to it. I felt the pain and emotion of being in a state of drifting between people and experiences. Honestly, this mixtape is so fire 🔥
I have watched about 20 reactions to this song just for the reaction to the last verse after the piano. And you were the first one to start wrapping your video up😂 enjoyed watching everyone be shocked about the comeback at the end.
Bro that beat is absolute fire 🔥. By far my most favorite song on the record. I whole range of emotions experienced through this song and isn't that what music is all about.... The goosebumps. Love that shit.
my favorite song is definitely “Just Like You”. it gives me so much reassurance. also, im excited for your album to drop! Let Em Talk was fire and im really excited to hear the rest! keep up the great work!
That unknown sounds when he goes big, and that verse at the end are both sick as hell! If I just heard the beat only I'd agree not that great, but even with that beat he made something cool as hell. Gotta respect that!
I ordered both your albums and they finally shipped today i got your brand new one buried alive and tales from the crypt your amazing crypt no matter what others say much love
PreOrder my album here: distrokid.com/hyperfollow/crypt1/buried-alive-2
How are you guys feeling about Drifting?
It’s pretty
Its dope brother!!
Hey crypt could I send you a vid of me doing Godzilla cover and plz react to it
Great song! No skips on this mixtape for me.
Love it
NF The only rapper that makes me feel happy, sad, angry and hyped at the same time
Angry
Listen to more rappers then...
That’s facts😂
Seriously though 😂
Amen
Drifting is probably my favorite song rn
Same
Yeah same
same
I guess I'm supposed to say "same" or something like that
Same my favourite from the mixtape
You know it's fire if it's NF
In an interview he said he added that last part as a last-minute thing after the track was already recorded. Absolutely love that he did and it was different and unique
what interview?
@@elijahrichter idk what It's called but I saw it also
@@elijahrichter it on UA-cam. It was like an instagram live
I loved it to
I know you weren’t a big fan of it, but man that “Can’t remain afraid”, at the end hits so hard for me. Every.single.time.
I mean I wish he would have made the song a bit longer and ended it nicely that was just a weird ending as he said almost sounds like he barely said the word afraid sounded
@@dylan6996 it all in preference. Personally I think it was a sudden ending to a dramatic final verse and I loved the aesthetic of that.

To me I love the ending, but I can totally see how others wouldn’t like it at the same time. However this is a mixtape, and it’s nice to see him experimenting with new styles
Bruh I thought he said "cap! remain afraid" and it was like self doubt. The album also just plays together so it's not so abrupt
Yeah, I mean, the ending is partially why I like this song so much
@@dylan6996 nah the ending was great! It adds to the emotion of the song in my opinion
This song hits a lot harder for those of us that battle depression. It so accurately describes the different stages.. falling into depression; fighting it; coming out the other side.
I love the song honestly.

agreed. that's exactly why I love this track.

My boy was on that Instagram live hahah
This is literally my #1 song lol couldn’t wait for this reaction, surprised u weren’t that into it lol u should listen to it again off camera and just listen without any distractions. The song really pulls me into a place of inspiration and hope. 💝
music is a subjective thing so the camera is not the problem lol, for me that's a joke is the best but nobody is talking about it
This is my favorite song on the album then its story
? Didnt say that it was a problem, just saying he should take a deep emotional listen
@@Smokeyoass also i know music is subjective... i know everyone has their own tastes, don’t try to come with negativity.
Yesss
NF is just a different breed
"Outcast Yes I'm A Different Breed"
He is the chosen one spoken of in tales of old.
If you disagree
imo this is my favorite song off the mixtape. The last couple bars where NF goes crazy just hits hard man
PREACH 🙌🏻
def my fav on the mixtape too
Same man, hits different
Very hard
The best song on the new mixtape, imo
Hard agree!
Agree
Agreed!
so simple, but so good.
agreed, might be my fav song from NF
bro thats my favourite beat from the mixtape 🤣
Same.
same my favorite song from album
same
Same🤣
me too lol
The fact that it's weird is intentional... It's a song about his mental state/psyche and the beat fits perfectly with the lyrics. By far the deepest and one of the best songs on the album...
That's a joke might be my favorite song but this one is a close second (I can't decide if it's this or Trust)
It's tough, cause you have layers, and just like you
I like just Iike you the best cuz I can resonate with it so well
Drifting has to be my favorite and then layers is second
Just like you is one of my favorites but that’s a joke is definitely up there.
I think just like you is my number 1 fave and if u want love coming in second
That last bit when the beat drops... so many explosive sets in the gym to that, "tell me I'm worth it God"
I know, he’s so creative
Drifting is definitely my favorite song rn
probably my favorite song at the moment because the lyrics are just really relatable and on point. the end is my favorite though. a lot of people critique the end but he says some really really powerful stuff at the end there and its really underrated. "tell me im worth it God, give me the faith to rise" and "i'd rather be burned alive then go back to thinking im insignificant" both such powerful lines.
Who te is critizising it?
This song by far one of my most favorite NF songs he ever put out. The ending hits different.
Personally, this my favorite track he’s ever made, and yes, I’ve heard all of his music, I just love it rn.
NF is really good at giving you favorite songs every drop lol, I love just like you, Drifting and Layers, Pride is pretty damn good too
Same i dont think he’ll ever top this song but then again he just topped like this, outcast and the search with this one sooo
NF is hands-down one of the most talented guys in the industry he just keeps moving the bar You can feel it music and here is passion he’s on another level and this song is straight fire I can’t stop playing it
I read somewhere that NF has had this song for quite sometime and never released it because he said it was missing something and thats where the end came from.
Drifting is definitely my favourite from this mixtape. But truthfully the end kinda throws me off
@@alexchalatsis9616 I think the ending is a really good closing point, it's like that moment of clarity he finds through the haze of turmoil he feels
This song gave me astronaut vibes... imagine orbiting the earth looking out the window... ahhh 🤩
that was my first thought when i heard it as well
😭😭😭
ua-cam.com/video/O0yWQRmeNU0/v-deo.html
I imagined it more like drifting on a boat in a lake 🙂
I thought a man drifting on a race track whilst thinking about life.
The more you listen to this the better it gets imo. This is definitely a song for a specific person
Drifting is by far my favorite song NF has ever made. And I love all of his music but there's just something different about this one
derifting is my favourite song of all time rn
NF has the most relatable music and it’s amazing
I absolutely love the aesthetic of this song. Its vibes is exactly what I experience when I’m “drifting”. The chilling numbness with the chaos of trying to make your mind clear.
That ending was an abrupt end due to the clarity he got and suddenly he stopped drifting, that’s what I interpreted it as.
Les go my favourite Nf song
This is the best song in the mixtape in my opinion, the last 30 seconds just makes me hyped to take on life
I love how caught off guard he was with the second part
when he acted like the song was over i was worried that he would miss the end but then i laughed so hard when the end startled him
The last verse in this is my favorite verse in this entire mixtape...
Bro the end of the song. Your face was so funny hearing the drop into the lyrics!
So I was re-listening to NF Drifting … and realized when he says "unknown SOUNDS" he might mean sounds in the nautical term: In nautical terms, the word sound is used to describe the process of determining the depth of water OR In geography, a sound is a smaller body of water typically connected to larger sea or ocean… especially since he says "drifting… watching the world go round" - amazing!

It may be just me, but this actually was one of my favorites from the mixtape, but everyone has different tastes. Good reaction and I appreciate that you keep it honest.
this song was the best on the mixtape
Top 3 songs on the album imo
One of my favourite songs atm ngl !
Not gonna lie, this was my favorite song on the album
Same bro it like captures my whole life😅
This beat is definitely fire u silly goose
Silly goose
@@sethyoder401 obviously 🤦♂️
Righttt😂
its strangely soothing
All respect to crypt but this beat was fire idk what he’s talking about
Lyrics bring tears to my eyes man I get it.
This song story and layers are my favorite songs off the mixtape
This is probably my favorite reflection song he’s made. It really has such depth to it
the beat grows on you for sure
I don't know if you caught this but when he says, "My train of though leads to different tracks" then he has himself playing twice right there is such a good part of the song
The last bit always gives me goose bumps
The song ended perfectly!
I appreciate your honesty, man :)
NF music lowkey motivates me
LMAO i love how he didn’t expect the ending
"Whoa! Whoa! Wait! Hold on!"
Hahaha his reaction
😭😭😭
ua-cam.com/video/O0yWQRmeNU0/v-deo.html
It was really weird tbh lmao
@@karambwan1649 yeah I’ve never seen a video of him saying “well that was...” with the beat still playing. Seemed sorta fake
I was looking for this comment
This is my favorite song.
BANGER!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Finally man I been waiting since the album dropped
I will be a famous underground rapper in 2021/2022.
Gotta manifest it💫🤘🏻
The ending was the best part
Dude the ending is one of the things I love the most about this song 💀 i know you said it was weird how it finished subtly but that’s also another aspect that I think is great about it.......the verse was just a burst of emotions as he finally stopped drifting and exclaims that he no longer wants to feel insignificant or afraid.....emotions don’t come in any particular form.....so the the verse is super energetic then ends kinda softly showing us the volatility of feelings in general and how raw emotions are.....you don’t necessarily expect them to come out the way they do
This is my favorite song on the mixtape with prideful coming in second
Best song that suprize that nf did was phenomenal
6.23 was the time that describes why we all are here for drifting reaction
6:23 for anyone wanting to go to it
the beats are so beutifully elegant this album. good on you tommee proffit.
This was my favorite out of all the new ones!
Drifting is my favorite song on the mixtape just because of the end! I freaking love this!!!
This song hit me so hard when I first listened to it. I felt the pain and emotion of being in a state of drifting between people and experiences. Honestly, this mixtape is so fire 🔥
this gives me pure late night vibes
1 day closer to the album drop. Cant wait!
The line. "Well at least that's how they seem to me cause we just drifting drifting drifting" is one of the best on the record imo
1) Prideful
2) Drifting
3) Layers....❤️❤️❤️
I’ll be honest, This was the first song I heard when the mixtape came out, instantly loved it.
Favorite from the mixtape. This and just like you are dead even for my favorite, but the ending to drifting pushes this over the edge.
That song is Dope bro like wow
I LOVE THAT YOU THOUGHT IT WAS OVER HAHAHA!!!!!
The first time I heard this song I didn't really like it, but then the more I let it play it grew on me big time and is now one of my favorites
best song on the mixtape
This is my 6am drive to work vibe. Daily now for a while
I genuinely think this is the best song from the mixtape... I love the slow beat and singing... I'm really surprised people dont think the same...
It didn’t end weird. “Can’t remain afraid” all he did was put some emphasis on it so it has a bigger meaning.
BOUT TIME, THIS IS MY FAV!! I will deff be listening to the new album for sure my guy!!
I had the same reaction to the end of the song i was in shock
I have watched about 20 reactions to this song just for the reaction to the last verse after the piano. And you were the first one to start wrapping your video up😂 enjoyed watching everyone be shocked about the comeback at the end.
Bro this song is easy one my favourite nf songs I love the beat and than when he just lets loose at the end
Bro that beat is absolute fire 🔥. By far my most favorite song on the record. I whole range of emotions experienced through this song and isn't that what music is all about.... The goosebumps. Love that shit.
One of my favorite songs from the mixtape. Such a unique song.
This is my favorite song and I love the beat because it is NF humming. I love the catchy line: "unfamiliar faces and unknown sounds"
"This song doesn't seem like it calls for anything big" 🤣 that's what we all thought
FINALLY!!!!!!!! I love this song, and i've been waiting for this video
"I really liked what he OH SHIT!"
🤣
1:23
love how crypt got personal with us when relating to NF’s lines
It was dope how he recorded that line after the train of thought different tracks on separate tracks ....thats genius yo
my favorite song is definitely “Just Like You”. it gives me so much reassurance. also, im excited for your album to drop! Let Em Talk was fire and im really excited to hear the rest! keep up the great work!
That unknown sounds when he goes big, and that verse at the end are both sick as hell! If I just heard the beat only I'd agree not that great, but even with that beat he made something cool as hell. Gotta respect that!
Yooo been waiting on this one, this one has been having me in my feels.
Song gives me the chills every single time I hear it!
FINALLY REACTING TO THIS MY GOODNESS CRYPT!!!!!
This is my favorite song on the tape. Love it
I had a similar reaction at the end and I jumped when that crash hit lmao

Missing pieces..... love you NF
Honestly my fav song on the album
