ALTGANG!!! Love you guys and appreciate you watching this video. Check out all my NF reactions here: ua-cam.com/play/PLeuY6TQfMQrQFHo-GeePF-K1eIFJFmXka.html
I shared the progression of the “script” in the comments... where I think fear is speaking and where NF comes in. Great reaction Altspace! That was all of us haha
@@AltSpace I think Jonny is the man who abused him in mansion “took me to the basement and beat me till I screamed and cried” “wish I was burying anger but I’ll need him for that song he still LIVES in the basement “
I wanted to check the comments before adding one similar to this because when I saw his entire face light up I was like, light bulb! He figured it out!
This one is next level. Lost can't get here fast enough. Even saying that, don't cheat the journey, take your time and enjoy the ride. Also, What the actual F@#k is an appropriate reaction.
@@AltSpace listen again and pay attention to the production. It's like a 22oz steak, sometimes you have to take a rest and come back later to finish all the goodness.
'Johnny' was his mothers boyfriend however, it's not his name. Johnny is a worldwide known and used name among kids that suffered physical/sexual abuse at the hands of a male parent/guardian, refer to them as.
he is also referring to Johnny from The Shining. When they moved into the hotel, which they called a mansion, he became abusive. Like Jackel & hide. He is basically calling his mothers past boyfriend “HERES JOHNNY “ from the shining
Johnny is not his name. Johnny is a worldwide known name for a male parent/guardian that kids that suffered physical/sexual abuse at their hand by, refer to them as.
Here’s what I believe the script to this song is for anyone wondering how the dialogue works. FEAR: What, are you scared of me? It's embarrassing... If it wasn't for me, you would've never wrote Therapy... I've been here for you, but how come you're never there for me? It's a little bit twisted, but I miss when you and I had scary dreams... NF: I don't really wanna talk about it... FEAR: -Well, that's too bad now, Nate. shut up! Now where were we? Way back in the day when You and I had it all mapped out in the basement Cryin' in your room like a baby "I wish mom was here" We all do so we wouldn't have to hear about it Every single record you don't really wanna change me Yeah, I'm the one that made this happen Do you really wanna get rid of your main attraction? Let's pack our bags and go back to Gladwin now Yeah, it's time for the third record And you know I got the content I don't wanna make you nervous But it ain't like it used to be We got a lotta people watchin' You told me that you don't want me in your life That's pretty hard to digest And I told you I'd leave when we die, and we ain't died yet Therapy Session was beautiful, Nate, but I'm wonderin' what's comin' next Yeah, get that stupid hat off of your head when I'm talkin' to you, you hear what I said? You don't like the prison I been with you? Yeah, you wanna know what the funny thing is? You keep on talkin' to me like a stranger, but we've been together since you were a kid Took us from a no-name Told you everything was okay Now you tryna cut me out of it like I ain't never been a part of it I am the heart of it, I made this whole thing Yeah, I put us on the dope stage You must have no brain What's the point of having guns if you can't aim? What's the point of having blood with no vein? What's the point of having love with no pain? What I'm sayin' is me without you doesn't make any sense I know I'm intense in controlling, but you need to learn how to cope with it That's just the way that it is If you didn't want me to live in your house, you shouldn't have let me move in It's comfortable here and I like it, I got my own room and everything It don't get better than this! You say you wanna own your life, then wake up and take your own advice You just mad 'cause you know I'm right Yeah, I'm flattered you put me in Mansion, but you should've told 'em right 'Bout your hands on the coldest nights You didn't tell 'em 'bout the times you and I used to hold the mic I mean, what are you, outta your mind? 'Cause both of us will be Come on, let's go outside! NF: Is this what you wanted? Both of us out in the open? Let's do it then I mean, why are you doin' this?

Here’s a dose of your own medicine What, you don't like how it tastes? My therapist told me don't bury my issues, but I'ma be honest, man I'm feelin' great! I think it's only right we go back to where you were created I wrote a song for Jonny without you, but he ain't gon' like it, let's see how he takes it He prolly don't even remember us, does he? I wish I was buryin' anger, but both of us know I'ma need him for that song He still lives in the basement Honestly, I shoulda done this a year ago I don't know why I waited You know how I get it, I put everything off of my personal life, you hear what I'm sayin'? That was a joke Yeah, it's hilarious, ain't it? You'll spend the rest of your life in my backyard or back of my mind, depends how you see it Put the shovel away, time to go back in the house now, you'll be out in a week Tellin' me you want your room back, that's funny, what, you ain't got nowhere to sleep? I'ma just look out the window and laugh at you, this is crazy to me 'Cause I thought you had me in prison this whole time, but I'm the one holdin' the keys
Thank you so much for watching, from the depths of my soul, it's honestly comments like this that Inspire me to keep going and discover more of not his music but amazing artists I've never heard of before ❤️
Thank u so much for not asking who was rapping and figured out that was fear, I got excited seeing your reaction. NF JOURNEY IS CRAZY so just put your sit belt everytime you press play and be ready to let NF become your favorite rapper.
Love the reaction!! It's rare to see someone who understands the whole story, thank you very much !! This song is crazy🔥 He didn't do any other songs with other characters, but one theory says maybe he'll do the anger song because at the end of the Paid my dues video,Nate could be in the basement (where he said there's anger too) The perception album is where he started using these cinematic sounds and I love them! Nate said the best experience recording a song was with this song. He said he had goosebumps, his heart was pounding and he was shaking It's crazy how music can have this effect on him! Before moving on,I recommend that you go back because you skipped part of the journey. Outro comes first, then Green Lights and then this song. I think it's important to do them if you don't want to miss anything I can't wait for another video Much love!
Yeah, maybe it will but I just don't know what to expect. The theory I have read from other people and it might make sense, but at the same time I don't know, maybe it's also a bit difficult that it will be like this. And then the word Lost I really don't know what it means We'll see anyway!
And this is why the NF journey is so important! Intro 3 is a brilliant masterpiece and even NF said that this is his favorite piece of work. Your reaction was priceless, one of the best I have seen. I love watching people react to NF just to see their expressions!
I've heard this song over 50 times and heard a lot of reactors react to it.. never thought about the 3 intro's connecting in the way you described. This is the reason I listen to reactions.. to see different perspectives
17:14 NF said that from a storytelling perspective, Nate then Intro III then How Could You Leave Us as his top three songs he as an artist as written. So what this means is you are going to love Nate when you get to that song.
Dude. I love the song Nate. And at the very end when he talks about what he achieved is so dope. Idk why but it pumps me up everytime I hear that part haha
MORE SUBSCRIBERS SHALL ARRIVE, THIS REACTION IS WHAT U CALL RELEVANT AND INTELLIGENT, THIS DUDE USES HIS KNOWLEDGE NOT JUST FULL OF DOG EXPRESSIONS LIKE "AAAWWW" "OOOOOW". THE BEST ANALYSIS I EVER SLIDED INTO LOOOOOL
Thank you! Hands down one of the nicest comments I've received! So funny you mentioned that I kind of referenced that in a video I just put out! Just reacted to outcast :) thank you so much for watching
DUDE, nailed it! Keep listening a few more times and you'll notice who is talking at different times. So awesome to see someone appreciate how NF ties everything together. Just wait, bruh, just wait. This is a top 3 favorite but the story goes on
When he says “Crying in your room like a baby, I wish mom was here, we all do so we wouldn’t have to hear about it every single record” he talking about how his mom died and he’s basically making fun of himself for missing his mum which is kinda sad don’t y’all think? 😢
When it clicked for you I yelled out w/my headphones on in my room "He gets it!" 😂 Much love from South Carolina big dog, its super exciting to see somebody else experience my favorite artist for the first time.
@@AltSpace still watching your video bro. Very good! Gave me more angles. Johnny is the step father that abused NF. Mentioned in Mansion. IMO Just keep on the journey.
There's so many ways to interpret this song, I could probably make another 3 videos on it. I don't think my analysis went deep enough. Thanks for sharing the Info on Johnny, curious to hear the backstory!
@@AltSpace That was great. It took me 5 times to understand half of what u did And every time i hear it again i find new things. This is what i love in NF. I wont say it goes better cause i love all of his music but i would say you will get more surprised and more amazed
Dude, I’m in the middle of a road trip and it’s snowing like mad and I see this video pop up. So I did what any sensible person would do: pulled over to the side of the freeway and played the video! Lol! Now you’re starting to see the big picture view of NF! I think that’s why the fans love him in my opinion. Outro is the end of this “trilogy.” The Search begins a new trilogy (presumably). Remember, when you watch Outro, please pay special attention to the visuals. They will blow you away just like this video did. Keep up the great reactions!
NF is an amazing lyricist I love his bars so much, but it's so great when you see a rapper talking about real things and personal experiences. Your reactions are amazing 👏🏻👏🏻 please keep them up! ♡
Dude! Hands down the best reaction for Intro III ever. Loved seeing the big reveal of “fear” being the focus of this song. And then to further expound and tie all the things fear has been tied through all of NF’s songs. Keep it going! 😎👍🏾
By the way...I never caught that multiple about “crying in your room like a baby” “you don’t really wanna change me” his mom probably was like that...he was more a burden to her than anything.
Out of all the breakdown/reactions I’ve watched to this track you have the absolute best I’ve seen... never seen ANYONE connect the Intro’s together.... that was an amazing analysis... masterpiece my friend....
You nailed this reaction! And yes the way he has been able to connect all albums leading to this song it seems almost as if he knew this song before he did all the others before it. NF is crazy talented.
This reaction was the best!! That moment when you realize it's fear! Your mind was blown! And your analysis was so insightful, thorough and intelligent. This is BY FAR the best intro3 reaction I have seen. Outro3 is such a masterpiece, isn't it. Am enjoying your journey so much!
FYI Nate dropped the music video “Outro” before the Perception album was released. It was kind of a wrap up of the first two albums and ties into the third album. Great reaction and commentary Brother!
It's so refreshing to hear your thoughts on the journey, about how all of NF's songs connect and paint a story of his mind and life. I SO appreciate your attention to detail in every song and how you can relate back to songs you have listened to earlier in his discography. I'd like to make a recommendation for you to listen to Twenty One Pilots. I'm not sure if anyone has mentioned them or if you have already touched on their music. It is a little outside of the hip-hop sphere, but Tyler (the lead singer) does rap in a lot of songs. They also continue on a huge storyline throughout all of their music with a character (who Tyler personifies as his insecurities) and eventually expand into a whole world where Tyler, Josh, and the Skeleton Clique can go to escape their demons. All the love xxxx
Yeessssssss my guy clocked it. In mansion when NF says "fear came to my house years ago". What a champion, you're analysis and views on his art is honestly amazing Also Johnny is nfs step dad who used to abuse him- I think Bruh if you liked this kinda style, wait until you hear "nate"
how he talks to his alter egos and that, just amazing the man can tie in lyrics to everything just an incredible mind, honestly im a huge eminem fan but i would rate NF above that, best story teller out there period
Dude!!!! Your face at that moment it hit you... your eyes going back and forth as your brain was putting puzzle together... absolutely EPIC reaction!!! I literally jumped out of my chair and shouted YES! I look for that type of reaction when pieces of NF's songs are put together. That's how I know you're really into the journey. ❤🔥💯
This is the best breakdown of this song I've ever heard. When it comes to music, there are very few tremendous ARTISTS out there. NF is the greatest ARTIST in music today, maybe of all time. Most people just don't understand!
I watch a lot of channels that react to NF, as he is my fav artist. This is the first video I watch in your channel and man you are just awesome, I'd say u r the best of the youtubers I watch thar react to NF, keep it up!
You nailed the whole hidden and the story itself, i love how much you can really understand NF's masterpieces, especially this, thank you for this reaction❤️🥺
WOW Realy wow.. you got it man.. this is a great break-down. I listened to loads of reactions with this song, and you got itthe look on your face was a picture, i have never sen someone more excited when the penny dropped.. great job man.. :)
God, i was a quiet listener in the back when you went through this entire journey.. and i revisit sone of your reactions that i really loved whenever im experiencing a mental low.. im 12 year diagnosed borderline personality, but also happen to have my masters, 3 degrees total, in psychology.. ironic. I have this reaction of yours saved under a private fave react playlist.. and i just wanted to say.. the nostalgia.. ive watched 100s of people fail the journey, only few actually making it.. but only one, you, who i believe was not only the most intelligent, but also genuine in your care for Nate. Ever since he dropped his mixtape, theres been a shift in tone with some previous, okay, only one another i had respect for, snidely showing his true colors.. after the entire journey, mixtape.. acting like he was IN IT for the story, cheering Nate on, being faithful covering him.. all that good stuff you also did.. but out of nowhere, once i guess he farmed all the subs and views he could from the NF Family.. he dropped a totally out of nowhere post titled “why nf will never be part of the hip hop community” (something like that)., then in the post, he just sperged off on all the shortcomings he “somehow” failed to EVER mention before about Nates rhyme schemes, failed rhymes.. forcing rhymes.. “depressive tone”.. just very very unnecessary bs to post knowing we grew his fan base.. then lastly, actually having the nerve to say he wouldnt even put Nate in his top 20, or even 50.. it was a kick in the face. Like, all those opinions are fine.. but why post that knowing a very mental health oriented fan base will be affected by it? Just felt very very cruel. I left one comment directed to the fan base that i guarantee hes going to move on to TØP or Bo Burnham, another two artists, with die hard mental health fan bases we overlap with... and like a fortune teller.. thats exactly what he did barely a week later. Same “admiration” he showed Nate.. same bs. I know im ranting and you dont know me. But as someone who found tremendous catharsis in your accent (lol), rap history knowledge, your degrees in english/writing, and most importantly, your ability to care for Nate.. giving honest constructive criticisms and why, when warranted. But also becoming part of the family cheering him on. Ill never forget your glee rushing to see Clouds when it was dropped. I think it was the only track you were a pure fan, not a reactor, when it dropped. Which was fine, i actually loved it bc, to me, as an overthinker, saw that as showing your excitement right along with us. So.. thank you. I hope lifes been treating you well, and that your pooch is growing up strong and mischievious. Now for the cringe part, gonna rewatch you freak out the moment you figured Fear out in this reaction. Its perfect. Stay healthy and pure. 🗝🗝🧚🏻♀️ Ps 4:18 🖤💀
Jonny is his mothers boyfriend who abused him when he was younger. However, he mentions him in a couple of his songs, i dont know which one he's talkinkg about on intro 3
it's not his name. Johnny is a worldwide known and used name among kids that suffered physical/sexual abuse at the hands of a male parent/guardian, refer to them as.
i think he's speaking from the POV of his fear, so its his fear telling him that he's been with him since he was a kid and wont leave him till he's dead
Bro! I lost it when you guessed that it was the personification of fear midway into the track! And then bonus points for quoting bars from Mansion to back it up. You are a certified bona fide NF fan my man! 🔥🔥🔥
Bro I seriously love how you explain in detail about what nf raps about. I love nf music but Suddenly his music means so much more to me now. Thank you
💯 spot on. This is my favorite song of all time. And his fear is in reference to his ocd. Which you've probably discovered on leave me alone etc. As a sufferer myself - hr explains it so perfectly. Thanks for actually taking the time to react
Man im so happy i found this channel, it's refreshing to see someone break down and think about lyrics and composition. Definitely earned my subscription, can't wait to watch you go through this journey
I can relate to this song and a lot of other nf songs his songs make you think deeper about how you see yourself within his songs make you Wake Up ! and realize you can stay the same or make a Change You don't have to fake it til you make it you can face your fears get rid of old bad habits and just Make It Thanks for your Reaction and keeping it 100
I love the moment it all clicked. This is how I felt the first time listening to this as well. So cool how he strings all these songs together and ties everything in. The Outcast video also starts with him in a jail cell holding keys. Dude is next level genius.
Fire 🔥 song and reaction! Loved the moment you figured out when it was fear! This is the best reaction to this song I seen yet! Johnny is his moms boyfriend who abused him. (Remember that he said anger lives in the basement for the future and paid my dues song)
I really like that you brought up the fear being very scary and creepy. Because I never really thought about it as a dark entity. I just thought it was a part of him that affected most of his life. Now I feel as though fear is no different from a ghost that comes from within NF practically haunting him. And I just never thought about it that way
How can anyone dislike this video. Outstanding job man thank you. This song is super deep so thank you for doing your best to catch everything. It takes a couple listens to grasp it
I've watched this reaction three times.Hands down the best reaction of intro 3.Outcast picks up where he left off in this song and outro actually comes before intro 3. Good work🔥
Ohh!! I love seeing reactions to this song especially when you get it, and you got it!! Couple things I like to point out is when he says “what are you of your mind cause both of us will, come on let’s go outside.” People who have anxiety, fear, depression and other things like that like to hide behind things, you’ll notice NF like to have his face smile painted on, but here with fear confronting NF he’s putting NF where’s he’s most uncomfortable. Out in the open with nothing to hide behind. Also when he says “let’s go back to where you were created, I wrote a song for Jonny without you.” In mansion is where the first time fear is mentioned when he says “You used to put me in the corner, so you could see the fear in my eyes Then took me downstairs and beat me 'til I screamed and I cried” Another song you should react to is Lost in the Moment. It’s the last song on the therapy session album and it’s him pleading with himself to face his issues and it sets the stage nicely for intro 3 where he faces the root of all his issues, fear.
This has to be the most satisfying reaction I've watched regarding this song and its meaning. I swear that I almost saw the light bulbs over your head 😁
I’ve been so excited for you to react to this one because intro 3 will always be my favorite. It was so exciting watch it all click for you. The way NF wrote this and executed it was so perfect
LOVE your reactions and analysis of NF's music. And THIS one...those of us who had already heard Intro III can't WAIT to see your face when you make the connection of who he's talking to. I think it's safe to say that Nathan John Feuerstein is one of THE greatest lyricists of our time. A truly BRILLIANT man. Thanks for your fabulous reaction.
ALTGANG!!! Love you guys and appreciate you watching this video. Check out all my NF reactions here:

Done up to date you are better than others who react to nate!
Watching your videos direct when you put them out, even rewatch them. 🙃 Really good work! 👏
Dude! You're on point with these connections. IT'S IMPRESSIVE isn't it? Glad you're enjoying it.
NF is talking to the darker side of himself
I shared the progression of the “script” in the comments... where I think fear is speaking and where NF comes in. Great reaction Altspace! That was all of us haha
From this point on every NF song is a masterpiece. Just wait until you hear outcast and the search.
Thats straight facts
No hate but they are all works of art actually _
And only, returns, why, leave me alone, change, my stress, when I grow up , no excuses. Basically the whole damn album is 🔥🔥❤️❤️
Yess. Outcast or when I grow up
@@CabBlaze420 yes. I agree completely
The moment you clicked it was Fear - I literally couldn't stop smiling/laughing. It only gets better from here fam!
Haha! I wish I could experience this exact moment again
@@AltSpace I think Jonny is the man who abused him in mansion “took me to the basement and beat me till I screamed and cried” “wish I was burying anger but I’ll need him for that song he still LIVES in the basement “
I wanted to check the comments before adding one similar to this because when I saw his entire face light up I was like, light bulb! He figured it out!
@@johnsteed9282 right! haha - I miss AltSpace!
NF’s got his own cinematic universe.
The NCU - NF Cinematic Universe
Fear would 100% be Thanos
@@LuciusMeyers it would have been NFCU but that's trademarked to a bank heh.
@@zdalling7217 Dang, is it?
Every time I describe his music videos I compare them to Marvel movies
When you caught on to fear, they took me back to when I first heard the album
Also fear is in every album, not just the songs
I agree, I did the same thing!
This one is next level. Lost can't get here fast enough. Even saying that, don't cheat the journey, take your time and enjoy the ride. Also, What the actual F@#k is an appropriate reaction.
Dude, I'm still in awe of this track, unbelievable storytelling
@@AltSpace listen again and pay attention to the production. It's like a 22oz steak, sometimes you have to take a rest and come back later to finish all the goodness.
@@fritoboat13 love this analogy!!🙌
When you got “fear” i got goosebumps. Killer honest reaction.
Thank you so much, I got there eventually haha!
NF has created such a masterpiece. Its truly one of a kind. True artistry
Me too!!
'Johnny' was his mothers boyfriend however, it's not his name.
Johnny is a worldwide known and used name among kids that suffered physical/sexual abuse at the hands of a male parent/guardian, refer to them as.
Thanks I didn’t know that before 🙏🏽
he is also referring to Johnny from The Shining. When they moved into the hotel, which they called a mansion, he became abusive. Like Jackel & hide. He is basically calling his mothers past boyfriend “HERES JOHNNY “ from the shining
that’s so clever ! Nf really is a genius ❤
Johnny was his mother's boyfriend, who physically abused him

@@FullMetalcoreJojo thanks for sharing, brother. I wasn’t aware of this.
@@FullMetalcoreJojo interesting, I had not known this. Thank you.
The analysis is on point once again. Love your reactions
Thank you for tuning in!
Being a literature student myself, I really enjoy how you relate literay devices and techniques.
The best reaction, to this song, without any doubt.
Thank you! I really appreciate the kind words, I'm putting my degree to use somehow 😂
Here’s what I believe the script to this song is for anyone wondering how the dialogue works.
FEAR:
What, are you scared of me? It's embarrassing...
If it wasn't for me, you would've never wrote Therapy...
I've been here for you, but how come you're never there for me?
It's a little bit twisted, but I miss when you and I had scary dreams...
NF:
I don't really wanna talk about it...
FEAR:
-Well, that's too bad now, Nate. shut up!
Now where were we?
Way back in the day when
You and I had it all mapped out in the basement
Cryin' in your room like a baby
"I wish mom was here"
We all do so we wouldn't have to hear about it
Every single record you don't really wanna change me
Yeah, I'm the one that made this happen
Do you really wanna get rid of your main attraction?
Let's pack our bags and go back to Gladwin now
Yeah, it's time for the third record
And you know I got the content
I don't wanna make you nervous
But it ain't like it used to be
We got a lotta people watchin'
You told me that you don't want me in your life
That's pretty hard to digest
And I told you I'd leave when we die, and we ain't died yet
Therapy Session was beautiful, Nate, but I'm wonderin' what's comin' next
Yeah, get that stupid hat off of your head when I'm talkin' to you, you hear what I said?
You don't like the prison I been with you?
Yeah, you wanna know what the funny thing is?
You keep on talkin' to me like a stranger, but we've been together since you were a kid
Took us from a no-name
Told you everything was okay
Now you tryna cut me out of it like I ain't never been a part of it
I am the heart of it, I made this whole thing
Yeah, I put us on the dope stage
You must have no brain
What's the point of having guns if you can't aim?
What's the point of having blood with no vein?
What's the point of having love with no pain?
What I'm sayin' is me without you doesn't make any sense
I know I'm intense in controlling, but you need to learn how to cope with it
That's just the way that it is
If you didn't want me to live in your house, you shouldn't have let me move in
It's comfortable here and I like it, I got my own room and everything
It don't get better than this!
You say you wanna own your life, then wake up and take your own advice
You just mad 'cause you know I'm right
Yeah, I'm flattered you put me in Mansion, but you should've told 'em right
'Bout your hands on the coldest nights
You didn't tell 'em 'bout the times you and I used to hold the mic
I mean, what are you, outta your mind?
'Cause both of us will be
Come on, let's go outside!
NF:
Is this what you wanted?
Both of us out in the open? Let's do it then
I mean, why are you doin' this?
I know that you're mad, but I'm not in the mood for this
We got a record to drop
So why you actin' like I'm not a part of it?
And where is my shovel at?
Prolly out back where it always is,
FEAR:
you can't get rid of all of me!
I'm the reason why-
NF:
Nah, shut up, I don't wanna hear another sentence
FEAR (desperate):
Hey, I'm NF, is it me or the fear talkin'? Ha! What a dumb question!
Yeah, it's real music 'til the day we die, right!?
Yeah, ain't that the slogan, Nathan!?
NF:
Thought I told you to keep your mouth shut
FEAR:
I mean, so what? You know I never listen!
...
Let me guess
We gon' dig a hole, kill the track, and prolly put a beat in it
Rap about it for like three minutes
Aye, that's pretty deep, isn't it?
...
Wait a minute, you don't really think for a second that you're puttin' me in this?
NF:
No, of course not, just a lil' deeper then we can go inside and we can stop diggin'
FEAR:
Woo!
You had me scared for a second, I though we were diggin' my grave
*boss smack upside the head with shovel*
NF:
We did, what, you don't bein' afraid?
Here’s a dose of your own medicine
What, you don't like how it tastes?
My therapist told me don't bury my issues, but I'ma be honest, man I'm feelin' great!
I think it's only right we go back to where you were created
I wrote a song for Jonny without you, but he ain't gon' like it, let's see how he takes it
He prolly don't even remember us, does he?
I wish I was buryin' anger, but both of us know I'ma need him for that song
He still lives in the basement
Honestly, I shoulda done this a year ago
I don't know why I waited
You know how I get it, I put everything off of my personal life, you hear what I'm sayin'?
That was a joke
Yeah, it's hilarious, ain't it?
You'll spend the rest of your life in my backyard or back of my mind, depends how you see it
Put the shovel away, time to go back in the house now, you'll be out in a week
Tellin' me you want your room back, that's funny, what, you ain't got nowhere to sleep?
I'ma just look out the window and laugh at you, this is crazy to me
'Cause I thought you had me in prison this whole time, but I'm the one holdin' the keys
Honestly you’re a king, I already knew the difference the amount of time you put into this for those who don’t, king status
The only thing I’d probably argue is the shovel part. I think NF is asking where it is… otherwise respect for the amount of work you put in
This masterpiece gives me chills. Every. Single. Time.
Dude, I've watched so many people react to this song and you are the FIRST to actually get it.... Awesome reaction bro!
Thank you so much, I massively appreciate the support 🙏
He finally did this reaction
Worth the wait for sure!
The “what’s the point of having love with no pain” line is also a shout out to his “If You Want Love” track later in the Perception album.
That's DOPE!
Your so underrated your honestly the best and I love when you react NF keep it up! 👏
Thank you so much for watching, from the depths of my soul, it's honestly comments like this that Inspire me to keep going and discover more of not his music but amazing artists I've never heard of before ❤️
Thank u so much for not asking who was rapping and figured out that was fear, I got excited seeing your reaction. NF JOURNEY IS CRAZY so just put your sit belt everytime you press play and be ready to let NF become your favorite rapper.
Love the reaction!!
It's rare to see someone who understands the whole story, thank you very much !!
This song is crazy🔥
He didn't do any other songs with other characters, but one theory says maybe he'll do the anger song because at the end of the Paid my dues video,Nate could be in the basement (where he said there's anger too)
The perception album is where he started using these cinematic sounds and I love them!
Nate said the best experience recording a song was with this song. He said he had goosebumps, his heart was pounding and he was shaking
It's crazy how music can have this effect on him!
Before moving on,I recommend that you go back because you skipped part of the journey. Outro comes first, then Green Lights and then this song. I think it's important to do them if you don't want to miss anything
I can't wait for another video
Much love!
You know, I’ve always wondered what he’s messin with at the end of paid my dues... that could make sense
Yeah, maybe it will but I just don't know what to expect. The theory I have read from other people and it might make sense, but at the same time I don't know, maybe it's also a bit difficult that it will be like this.
And then the word Lost I really don't know what it means
We'll see anyway!
We shall, we shall
@4:20 BEST (and probably fastest) realization about who he’s taking to. Loving your NF reactions! New sub
And this is why the NF journey is so important! Intro 3 is a brilliant masterpiece and even NF said that this is his favorite piece of work. Your reaction was priceless, one of the best I have seen. I love watching people react to NF just to see their expressions!
I've heard this song over 50 times and heard a lot of reactors react to it.. never thought about the 3 intro's connecting in the way you described. This is the reason I listen to reactions.. to see different perspectives
17:14 NF said that from a storytelling perspective, Nate then Intro III then How Could You Leave Us as his top three songs he as an artist as written. So what this means is you are going to love Nate when you get to that song.
Dude. I love the song Nate. And at the very end when he talks about what he achieved is so dope. Idk why but it pumps me up everytime I hear that part haha
MORE SUBSCRIBERS SHALL ARRIVE, THIS REACTION IS WHAT U CALL RELEVANT AND INTELLIGENT, THIS DUDE USES HIS KNOWLEDGE NOT JUST FULL OF DOG EXPRESSIONS LIKE "AAAWWW" "OOOOOW".
THE BEST ANALYSIS I EVER SLIDED INTO LOOOOOL
Thank you! Hands down one of the nicest comments I've received! So funny you mentioned that I kind of referenced that in a video I just put out! Just reacted to outcast :) thank you so much for watching
DUDE, nailed it! Keep listening a few more times and you'll notice who is talking at different times. So awesome to see someone appreciate how NF ties everything together. Just wait, bruh, just wait. This is a top 3 favorite but the story goes on
When he says “Crying in your room like a baby, I wish mom was here, we all do so we wouldn’t have to hear about it every single record” he talking about how his mom died and he’s basically making fun of himself for missing his mum which is kinda sad don’t y’all think? 😢
The reaction when realizing it was Fear! - Pure Awesomeness! Best breakdowns and reactions I have seen yet!
Haha I was shocked 😂😂😂
Die - Jest is a sick bar. Never thought of that. Good reaction!
I’m enjoying how you break down find all the hidden nugget in NF songs
When it clicked for you I yelled out w/my headphones on in my room "He gets it!" 😂 Much love from South Carolina big dog, its super exciting to see somebody else experience my favorite artist for the first time.
What a great reaction. Loved it already after 4 min 😉 and got even better
This is a masterpiece made by NF!
Thank you so much for watching! This truly is a masterpiece! Are there other songs that I'll encounter that are like this along the journey?
@@AltSpace still watching your video bro. Very good! Gave me more angles. Johnny is the step father that abused NF. Mentioned in Mansion. IMO Just keep on the journey.
There's so many ways to interpret this song, I could probably make another 3 videos on it. I don't think my analysis went deep enough. Thanks for sharing the Info on Johnny, curious to hear the backstory!
@@AltSpace That was great. It took me 5 times to understand half of what u did And every time i hear it again i find new things.
This is what i love in NF.
I wont say it goes better cause i love all of his music but i would say you will get more surprised and more amazed
Dude, I’m in the middle of a road trip and it’s snowing like mad and I see this video pop up. So I did what any sensible person would do: pulled over to the side of the freeway and played the video! Lol!
Now you’re starting to see the big picture view of NF! I think that’s why the fans love him in my opinion. Outro is the end of this “trilogy.” The Search begins a new trilogy (presumably). Remember, when you watch Outro, please pay special attention to the visuals. They will blow you away just like this video did.
Keep up the great reactions!
Haha this comment is GOLD! I love that you actually did that 😂 please drive safe and have an awesome road trip my man
I love how you analyzed this song! It even gives me new insight on the song.
NF is an amazing lyricist I love his bars so much, but it's so great when you see a rapper talking about real things and personal experiences. Your reactions are amazing 👏🏻👏🏻 please keep them up! ♡
bro I appreciate this respect you're giving nf I literally subbed for this
Probably the best intro3 reaction I have ever watched. Just incredible.
Wait till you see "Leave Me Alone" "The Outcast and "The Search"
I've heard the search without context and thought nothing of it exempt from it being a good song
Now I'm scarec whenever I here that song
two minutes in and this is already my favorite reaction to nf oooof
Brother, this is only a taste of what's to come :)))))
"Remember This"
Omg
Insane! I never relised
Dude! Hands down the best reaction for Intro III ever. Loved seeing the big reveal of “fear” being the focus of this song. And then to further expound and tie all the things fear has been tied through all of NF’s songs. Keep it going! 😎👍🏾
By the way...I never caught that multiple about “crying in your room like a baby” “you don’t really wanna change me” his mom probably was like that...he was more a burden to her than anything.
Out of all the breakdown/reactions I’ve watched to this track you have the absolute best I’ve seen... never seen ANYONE connect the Intro’s together.... that was an amazing analysis... masterpiece my friend....
Yup, you get it!! I'm rolling with u on the journey now.
My man!
I concur
FINALLYYYYYYY bout to get my popcorn
That Michael Jackson Thriller meme springs to mind 😂
You nailed this reaction! And yes the way he has been able to connect all albums leading to this song it seems almost as if he knew this song before he did all the others before it. NF is crazy talented.
Thank you so much! He's unbelievably talented
Perception is his hero's journey and the Search is his dark night of the soul.
Nate is his child inside
This reaction was the best!! That moment when you realize it's fear! Your mind was blown! And your analysis was so insightful, thorough and intelligent. This is BY FAR the best intro3 reaction I have seen. Outro3 is such a masterpiece, isn't it. Am enjoying your journey so much!
When u connected it i was so excited! All his damn songs connect and its fucking crazy! No one can do this shit like him
the moment you realized he's talking/rapping about fear!! i'm hyped haha let me go listen to perception from beginning to end all over again
FYI Nate dropped the music video “Outro” before the Perception album was released. It was kind of a wrap up of the first two albums and ties into the third album. Great reaction and commentary Brother!
Your interpretation on his music is spot on man your on it thanks man keep me coming NF for life he can't be beat just like your reactions
Thank you my man I appreciate the kind words! That really means a lot
It's so refreshing to hear your thoughts on the journey, about how all of NF's songs connect and paint a story of his mind and life. I SO appreciate your attention to detail in every song and how you can relate back to songs you have listened to earlier in his discography. I'd like to make a recommendation for you to listen to Twenty One Pilots. I'm not sure if anyone has mentioned them or if you have already touched on their music. It is a little outside of the hip-hop sphere, but Tyler (the lead singer) does rap in a lot of songs. They also continue on a huge storyline throughout all of their music with a character (who Tyler personifies as his insecurities) and eventually expand into a whole world where Tyler, Josh, and the Skeleton Clique can go to escape their demons. All the love xxxx
Thank you so much for tuning in. I have indeed heard of TOP I've reacted to one of their songs, just haven't released it yet 😊
@@AltSpace AHH!! So exciting to hear!
Yeessssssss my guy clocked it. In mansion when NF says "fear came to my house years ago". What a champion, you're analysis and views on his art is honestly amazing
Also Johnny is nfs step dad who used to abuse him- I think
Bruh if you liked this kinda style, wait until you hear "nate"
I LOVE how you dissect the whole thing!
Thank you brother, I appreciate the kind words!
how he talks to his alter egos and that, just amazing the man can tie in lyrics to everything just an incredible mind, honestly im a huge eminem fan but i would rate NF above that, best story teller out there period
I have noticed that all your NF video’s been blowing up that’s how I found this channel big NF fan keep doing your thing.
Dude!!!! Your face at that moment it hit you... your eyes going back and forth as your brain was putting puzzle together... absolutely EPIC reaction!!! I literally jumped out of my chair and shouted YES!
I look for that type of reaction when pieces of NF's songs are put together. That's how I know you're really into the journey. ❤🔥💯
This is the best breakdown of this song I've ever heard. When it comes to music, there are very few tremendous ARTISTS out there. NF is the greatest ARTIST in music today, maybe of all time. Most people just don't understand!
And in into 1 hes says “NF is a monster..I am a villain” could be reference to fear as well! Cool stuff!
HOLY SHI... 😳😳😳 Very nice catch
I watch a lot of channels that react to NF, as he is my fav artist. This is the first video I watch in your channel and man you are just awesome, I'd say u r the best of the youtubers I watch thar react to NF, keep it up!
I appreciate that brother! I hope you're keeping well and safe 🙏
when you got it I was cheering out loud! Great one!
You nailed the whole hidden and the story itself, i love how much you can really understand NF's masterpieces, especially this, thank you for this reaction❤️🥺
I've watched several Intro III reactions and this is up there. Nice breakdown and analysis 👏🏾👏🏾.
I love how you've framed your scene. It's a very pleasing on the eye setup
So excited for you to react to outro
Me too!
Omg i got just as excited as you did when you got it! Fear!!!!
Haha the penny dropped for real!
WOW Realy wow.. you got it man.. this is a great break-down. I listened to loads of reactions with this song, and you got itthe look on your face was a picture, i have never sen someone more excited when the penny dropped.. great job man.. :)
Haha the penny finally dropped! Thank you so much for tuning in
Yo it helps me understand the intro trilogy youre insane, keep delivering
God, i was a quiet listener in the back when you went through this entire journey.. and i revisit sone of your reactions that i really loved whenever im experiencing a mental low.. im 12 year diagnosed borderline personality, but also happen to have my masters, 3 degrees total, in psychology.. ironic. I have this reaction of yours saved under a private fave react playlist.. and i just wanted to say.. the nostalgia.. ive watched 100s of people fail the journey, only few actually making it.. but only one, you, who i believe was not only the most intelligent, but also genuine in your care for Nate. Ever since he dropped his mixtape, theres been a shift in tone with some previous, okay, only one another i had respect for, snidely showing his true colors.. after the entire journey, mixtape.. acting like he was IN IT for the story, cheering Nate on, being faithful covering him.. all that good stuff you also did.. but out of nowhere, once i guess he farmed all the subs and views he could from the NF Family.. he dropped a totally out of nowhere post titled “why nf will never be part of the hip hop community” (something like that)., then in the post, he just sperged off on all the shortcomings he “somehow” failed to EVER mention before about Nates rhyme schemes, failed rhymes.. forcing rhymes.. “depressive tone”.. just very very unnecessary bs to post knowing we grew his fan base.. then lastly, actually having the nerve to say he wouldnt even put Nate in his top 20, or even 50.. it was a kick in the face. Like, all those opinions are fine.. but why post that knowing a very mental health oriented fan base will be affected by it? Just felt very very cruel. I left one comment directed to the fan base that i guarantee hes going to move on to TØP or Bo Burnham, another two artists, with die hard mental health fan bases we overlap with... and like a fortune teller.. thats exactly what he did barely a week later. Same “admiration” he showed Nate.. same bs. I know im ranting and you dont know me. But as someone who found tremendous catharsis in your accent (lol), rap history knowledge, your degrees in english/writing, and most importantly, your ability to care for Nate.. giving honest constructive criticisms and why, when warranted. But also becoming part of the family cheering him on. Ill never forget your glee rushing to see Clouds when it was dropped. I think it was the only track you were a pure fan, not a reactor, when it dropped. Which was fine, i actually loved it bc, to me, as an overthinker, saw that as showing your excitement right along with us. So.. thank you. I hope lifes been treating you well, and that your pooch is growing up strong and mischievious. Now for the cringe part, gonna rewatch you freak out the moment you figured Fear out in this reaction. Its perfect. Stay healthy and pure. 🗝🗝🧚🏻♀️
Ps 4:18 🖤💀
yeah, ernest really used nate's fandom for his subs and then said that Witt has a better catalogue than Nate lol
@@aseembathla4382 LOL THAT PERFECT NAME DROP... that obvious?
Jonny is his mothers boyfriend who abused him when he was younger. However, he mentions him in a couple of his songs, i dont know which one he's talkinkg about on intro 3
it's not his name.
Johnny is a worldwide known and used name among kids that suffered physical/sexual abuse at the hands of a male parent/guardian, refer to them as.
@@FullMetalcoreJojo me reading this and my name is johnny 😭
i think he's speaking from the POV of his fear, so its his fear telling him that he's been with him since he was a kid and wont leave him till he's dead
Best reaction to this Song! Keep up the great work man
Thank you my brother 🙏❤️
Bro! I lost it when you guessed that it was the personification of fear midway into the track! And then bonus points for quoting bars from Mansion to back it up. You are a certified bona fide NF fan my man! 🔥🔥🔥
Bro I seriously love how you explain in detail about what nf raps about. I love nf music but Suddenly his music means so much more to me now. Thank you
Yesssss finally this is 100% my favorite track by nf
💯 spot on. This is my favorite song of all time. And his fear is in reference to his ocd. Which you've probably discovered on leave me alone etc. As a sufferer myself - hr explains it so perfectly. Thanks for actually taking the time to react
Man I’m very excited for you to get to the Search. It’s my favorite, you must be ready for it.
Man im so happy i found this channel, it's refreshing to see someone break down and think about lyrics and composition. Definitely earned my subscription, can't wait to watch you go through this journey
Been waiting for you to get to this point in the NF journey! Stoked to see your reaction. Pure! Much love from NZ brotha!
Thank you so much brother! I appreciate the kind words
I've been waiting for you to do this one. It is such a great track. Glad to see you finally got to perception album. Cheers.
More to come, thanks for tuning in Jeff!
I can relate to this song and a lot of other nf songs his songs make you think deeper about how you see yourself within his songs make you Wake Up ! and realize you can stay the same or make a Change You don't have to fake it til you make it you can face your fears get rid of old bad habits and just Make It Thanks for your Reaction and keeping it 100
That's absolute FACTS you just dropped there 🔥 also thank you for watching
You are probably one of the guy that analyse those NF song the best ✔️ ( After Ernest the third❤️)
He's my favourite, he's 100% the best music analysts on UA-cam.
@@AltSpace Mine too but you're my second favorite!
I appreciate the kind words ❤️
I love the moment it all clicked. This is how I felt the first time listening to this as well. So cool how he strings all these songs together and ties everything in. The Outcast video also starts with him in a jail cell holding keys. Dude is next level genius.
Fire 🔥 song and reaction! Loved the moment you figured out when it was fear! This is the best reaction to this song I seen yet!
Johnny is his moms boyfriend who abused him. (Remember that he said anger lives in the basement for the future and paid my dues song)
Thank you! I massively appreciate the kind words. Also cheers for sharing that info on Johnny 😊
My favorite song of his...I was waiting for this...
I really like that you brought up the fear being very scary and creepy. Because I never really thought about it as a dark entity. I just thought it was a part of him that affected most of his life. Now I feel as though fear is no different from a ghost that comes from within NF practically haunting him. And I just never thought about it that way
I appreciate the comment! It really does feel like an entity that he couldn't get a hold
You know what I love seeing people react to NF songs. I kinda feel proud as a fan.
I hope i did it justice haha
Your song breakdowns are on another level. Subscribed while watching this.
Thank you my man!
How can anyone dislike this video. Outstanding job man thank you. This song is super deep so thank you for doing your best to catch everything. It takes a couple listens to grasp it
man i love how you get straight into it
Intro 1,2 and 3 is like a novel in song form, amazing 👏
Wonderful analysis. Please continue your hard work !
Thank you! ❤️
Amazing job on the lyrical break down
Thank you Richard!
Holy Snap! All of NF's music is literally a movie.
I've watched this reaction three times.Hands down the best reaction of intro 3.Outcast picks up where he left off in this song and outro actually comes before intro 3.
Good work🔥
Ohh!! I love seeing reactions to this song especially when you get it, and you got it!! Couple things I like to point out is when he says “what are you of your mind cause both of us will, come on let’s go outside.” People who have anxiety, fear, depression and other things like that like to hide behind things, you’ll notice NF like to have his face smile painted on, but here with fear confronting NF he’s putting NF where’s he’s most uncomfortable. Out in the open with nothing to hide behind. Also when he says “let’s go back to where you were created, I wrote a song for Jonny without you.” In mansion is where the first time fear is mentioned when he says “You used to put me in the corner, so you could see the fear in my eyes
Then took me downstairs and beat me 'til I screamed and I cried”
Another song you should react to is Lost in the Moment. It’s the last song on the therapy session album and it’s him pleading with himself to face his issues and it sets the stage nicely for intro 3 where he faces the root of all his issues, fear.
This has to be the most satisfying reaction I've watched regarding this song and its meaning. I swear that I almost saw the light bulbs over your head 😁
I’ve been so excited for you to react to this one because intro 3 will always be my favorite. It was so exciting watch it all click for you. The way NF wrote this and executed it was so perfect
LOVE your reactions and analysis of NF's music. And THIS one...those of us who had already heard Intro III can't WAIT to see your face when you make the connection of who he's talking to. I think it's safe to say that Nathan John Feuerstein is one of THE greatest lyricists of our time. A truly BRILLIANT man. Thanks for your fabulous reaction.
BRO....ur analysis is mind blowing
Thank you Mitchell I appreciate that brother
I can’t wait for you to reach The Search album, it’s his best work yet. Hoping in 2021 we get a new album!
