I’ve been on NF for about 5-6 years now, so I’ve seen every reactor do his music, and you are by far the one that does his music the most justice. Please keep pausing, and please keep giving us your thoughts, that’s what a reaction should be, anyone that doesn’t appreciate that can bounce. You’re killin it, keep it up!
Omg I love how you pause and go deep into the lyrics and I’m American please know I have your back and I enjoy every second I watch you . ❤️❤️ if I could afforded I would follow you on patreon but I live paycheck to paycheck just know I love your reactions ❤
I absolutely love that you share your vulnerability and you share your own experiences while reacting to NF. I also love that you don't do this for any other reason than the fact that you are passionate about music and that's very obvious. I can feel chills and goosebumps every time you do because I can feel what you're feeling in that moment as though it's my first time listening
It's very obvious that you pause because his music is having an impact on you as it does for many people. There are people that sing from their mind and then there are people like NF who sing from the depths of their soul and you can FEEL it ❤️
It's not easy Teddy. NF music just make our wounds be open...not to hurt, but to heal. And the first step is to be humble and recognize our fails, the things that aren't great in life but that we can do something about it. Remember... there's Hope 😉 But i want to say how much i appreciate the respect that you give to NF music and lyricism. This genuine reactions are amazing. Thanks 😊
100% his music is so personal it’s terrifying but also so freeing. For someone to say all the things I have rattling around inside my brain. Makes me less alone!! Can’t wait for you to get to Just Like You. It’s the Outcast anthem for me. NF fans are family.
I so appreciate your vulnerability and rawness reacting to these. They say NF finds you when you need him. I can't wait to see the rest of your journey with his music. It's truly different. 🖤
Welcome to the family, man. We're here because you love and feel the music, because you understand the emotions that we've gone through, that Nate had to suffer to give us true masterpieces... You say you're here if people need to talk... Well, The Fam is here for you too, to listen to you and your pain too. We've all had trouble, and coming together has helped us all. Keep being amazing, and more importantly, keep pushing forward. 🖤🤍
Nate has a way of saying what 90% of people are thinking and feeling but don't know how to express. He is by far my favorite artist. It's therapy for me.
20:45 NF always finds you when you need his music most, so glad you have found his music at this moment in your life. There is a whole community of people here for you now ♥️
I have been listening to NF for 7 years. I love seeing you experience all these tracks for the first time. His music is so therapeutic. If I’m depressed or anxious I actually listen to him and it helps me process my thoughts.
Man I just want to say how much I appreciate you. Not only do you value music highly, but you value people highly. You value the amount of work and emotion that was put into the art. It’s refreshing to have somebody take the time to actually allow their hearts to connect with another artist. Also, thank you for being vulnerable and real with your heart in the midst of what you’re hearing. True reactions take time and multiple lessons. Never apologize for pausing or taking the time to really value what you’re hearing. Thank you so much for doing what you do!
A lot of artists try to be mysterious to seem deeper than they are. Full credit to NF, he does everything he can to try to make his emotions plain to understand
You are on the right track. Your story can still unfold. This is your purpose. There is room for more than one at the top of real success. I am 60 years old and going back to College to finally get my degree in Design. You can do it Teddy. Dream big. In this song we learn that NF personifies his emotions (thus, that is why we think it is actually Hope who we see in the Hope video), and we meet Fear and learn he sleeps with Regret. These two will be back in future songs. The fact that you caught the line about how NF see how his lack of changing is affecting his plans is next level. Most miss this connection. Just being real with you Teddy, you are special. Believe in yourself my friend. You are going places.
Yo Teddy, I have watched dozens of NF reactors and I LOVE so much how you are doing this without feeling rushed, performative, or that you have to impress the viewer of your video. It feels like you're genuinely doing this for YOU. And I love that. I enjoy your authenticity and I hope you continue to enjoy Nate's music as I have. He's truly changed my life in many ways.
My brother, you are quickly becoming one of my favorite reactors because you are real and genuinely feel the music. NF reaches deep into the soul because so many of us relate to his music. Keep the 🔥 coming brother and thank you
Teddy, you always have us, whether you want to talk about something serious or make complete fools of ourselves in front of a bunch of strangers. I have so much respect for you for not being afraid to be vulnerable and sharing your thoughts and emotions with us like this. Stay strong and remember that you're not alone! 🖤
Hey man you’re not alone, we here in the NF family ride together! There’s a reason why you feel his music the way you do because so many of us feel it too ! We come here as a community to support NF and to support one another! There’s a reason you found his music and are on this journey my friend! This is just a glimpse of what you’re going to get into! It’s healing! Keep it up, love your reactions!
As an American pause all you want brotha. Love how much you appreciate NF i have the same appreciation. Always gets me emotional. Edit: i found him 6 years ago at the time i had just gotten out of rehab i was an opiate addict for 5 yrs when i was 20-25. NFs music kept me from ever going back and without it i almost certainly would’ve.
I love your genuine reaction to one of my favorite songs. This song hit me just as hard because I struggled and had a lot of issues when I was younger with being abused and mental issues so I'm right there with you my friend
This is the song i discovered NF with. Thanks for sharing your feelings about it and know this, you are not alone. NF has a way with word that gets me every time. Every time he release something new im going through the journey again and listen to almost all his past songs in order. If you do more reactions to NF, i'll be there watching. Im never getting bored with NF music. So on that note welcome to the NF journey, like i said, i'll be there watching your reactions to his songs.
Also, Remember that dark NF with the joker smile in the room with the balloons in the Hope video, I think that was Fear that got comfortable and settled in.
Yea NF is a mastermind with his music. Mansion being his mind and all the memories he has hidden and locked away. A lot was negative and how fear took over his happiness. He speaks emotions and not a single person can’t say they don’t have a track they can’t relate too. Cause what he speaks is so true to what you can feel or seen others struggle with. Which is why the Nate in dark clothing is the fear and anger her had. Hope is white with his whole new outlook at life now having a son. This journey is def a roller coaster. Be ready.
What you said about not having friends really hit me. I had to hold back tears because I have no close friends either. When I first heard NF's Mansion album, I felt like he was talking about things I could never say out loud. I write poetry, and it's the only way I can express my thoughts. So finding NF's music 6 years ago was like finding a friend who understood my feelings. It felt like I was on a journey with him through pain and healing. Although I'm still working through the healing part. I could tell you were really moved by the song because I had the same reaction when I first heard it. I still get emotional listening to it sometimes.
NF is cathartic. Loving your reactions, Teddy. It's that vulnerability and transparency that attracts folks to one another - it builds empathy and trust.
Appreciate you opening up at the end. Having consistent friends and that group to rely on is tough when you get older. Especially as a man. So respect for you letting yourself be vulnerable.
I think the thing about NF that gets us every time, besides the fact that he’s very talented and extremely underrated, is his relatability. He’s written about it in his music but still, the first time you listen someone else’s words that are presented so poetically beautifully and ring so true and close to home deep in your soul it does things to you and it’s not just about the music anymore. All I know is that I still get as emotional as I did the first time I listened to Mansion and Let you down 5 years ago so it’s definitely not just about the music, that’s why people wanted you to take the full ride through the whole NF journey. PS: don’t apologise for the pauses and the rewinds, seeing how you react and process emotions while you listen and try to understand is why we watch these videos.
Honestly I’m reacting to most of these with you too and I’m getting just as wrecked. I heard the search when it came out and it stayed with me but I never really heard the rest of his music. Now I see how much I missed out on. As a Christian, seeing another fellow Christian be this vulnerable and real is so refreshing because usually the religion inside the church makes it so that we can’t express fully our hardships because “Christ is our joy” which don’t get me wrong, He most certainly is for me, but it doesn’t erase the difficulties of life, dealing with mental health and loneliness is so hard and this mentality makes it feel even worse because it makes you feel alienated. Also, i refer to it as religion, having this mentality, because in the Bible, Jesus very openly talked about his struggles with sadness, loneliness and many other stories in the Bible refer to depression and anxiety but churches seem to choose to ignore this. So yeah, all in all, I’m happy to be represented or feel seen in NF’s songs. It’s oh so very nice.
“We all share the same heartbeat, unified bpm”- Bang Chan once said and it’s so true. Being vulnerable, especially on camera, takes a lot of guts. So I hope that what we all say here could help you too and support you along your personal journey. So if you need to talk, don’t hesitate to contact. You give us all so much joy and the only thing we could do is give it back 100x times more.
I love that you relate to this. Ideas exist on higher planes, vibrations flow throughout the universe in dimensions we reach in our dreams and memories... Time is conceptual... we are all connected to the source. 🙏❤️
I agree. Noticed that immediately. Mad respect to u for doing that! I hope Nate's music helps heal ur wounds. Stay strong my friend & like so many from his community has said, we're here for u. 🖤
Pause all you need to my guy! Take it all in! The lyrics are life changing! I cant say how many late nights ive have with tears in my eyes listening to his music. As a man with 2 daughters and a tough upbrining trying to be the best father i can be and live for them
You are my favorite reactor! Thank you for sharing your emotions as well. I’m sure this nf journey will bring out more in you as it has for all of us. You made me cry when you got emotional.
So many of us for many different reasons have been touched by this song and became life long fans of NF. I know this and How Could You Leave Us felt like someone took my private experiences and put them in a song Nate has a gift.
The amount of times that ive listened to this song is insane. NF has always been someone who i couldnt relate to more when it comes to our depression and anxiety. His music has helped me for years and years. Whenever i find a reactor that starts an "NF Journey" i get so excited for them to learn how powerful his music is. Keep it up
Thank you for leaving it in. This journey was written for you as it was for so many of us. At least now, finally, I can kick fear and those dark voices out and let friends in, perhaps not as far as I'd like, but it's progress, not perfection. As Ren noted, we are human beings.
You're rocking these reaction videos brother. Keep em coming man and never be afraid to be open and honest when you're talking about NF lyrics speaking to you. That's why the majority of us are here are because his words spoke to us and we're emotionally invested in his success and take joy in others finding him too. Hopefully that's not just me lol
Oh my goodness I can't believe I missed when you started this so well I'm not going to be with the channel live but I'm going to start this over so I can watch her reaction. This is definitely one that hit me in my heart
It’s all about being real and authentic. I never stop pausing and relating to the music you are listening to. I enjoy your reactions so much more than the person that just listens and pauses and says wow every couple minutes and then has nothing to say at the end of the song. Stay relatable stay authentic and your channel will explode through this journey.
Love you brother. Yes, NF is loved because he gives those of us who have lived in darkness a way to express our feelings. Keep it up. This is why hope meant so much to his fans. Because we’ve gone through this growth process with him and he’s leading us all to having hope for a better life.
I was a little worried that you'd skip over the non-music video songs but I'm happy to see that you're going through everything. The first reaction to NF always hits the hardest, and I've never been disappointed by his work. You probably know this already, but some of his songs aren't tied into specific albums, so make sure to check everything thoroughly
I understand that music is your passion. Your the only reaction channel I subscribed to cause you seem to really be authentic and I appreciate the depth you brings to your reviews.
Honestly, ur reactions are beautiful. Hot tears pour out sometimes/most times listening to Mr Nate. So looking forward to seeing more from you. I know that things tend to come up when NEEDED. U seem super real and that is impressive.
This is the type of reaction I'm here for. I can always listen to the song with no pauses. Thank you for expressing your thoughts and connecting with his music as many of us do. You have a new subscriber.
I watched many reactions to NF and yours is easly my favourite because you actually feel The Music and at The same time opening up about your own problems. To see you so engaged makes me more engaged and i don’t understand how you don’t have many friends because you are super cool.
I’m so happy for you that you found NF and connect with his music to the degree that you do. In one of his other songs, Therapy Session, he talks about music being his therapy, and I see his music as my therapy as well. Not that I don’t need actual therapy also, but I feel a lot better after listening to his songs, crying and releasing some of that built up anxiety I get from time to time. I’ve already subscribed to your channel after your first NF reaction, I really feel you get him and his fan base, and I hope you continue on this journey, both for yours and my own sake. Love from Sweden ❤
He does the same thing to me with his music it's so personal ❤️ we are all out here together and didn't know it until NF came and showed us all we aren't alone!
Bruh 🙏🏻 keep it up. Just remember - this shows nothing other than the fact that YOU. ARE. HUMAN. The raw reactions and insights you bring allow viewers like us to be reminded of the same thing my mans
Had to bail on the live chat (at work) but I'm glad this song seemed to mean so much to you Teddy. I'm 41 with 2 daughters and I can't always explain or even go into detail about what my life was like growing up but having artists out there like NF makes a huge difference. I can hand them his music and they can get some kind of idea what goes through my head on the daily. Stick with the journey, I can't say it gets easier but it does get better.
So when you paused after hearing NF say Congratulations you will always have a room in my mind.” He is referring to Fear. Once u get to Intro lll that song his him and Fear going back and forth at each other
I just realized nf never went into the basement in the Hope music video, that’s the one door he didn’t open up, and it’s the one he said he wouldn’t in this song
Forreal bro, now you see why were all such major NF fans. He has this innate ability to say the things we cant in such an eloquent and cohesive way its indescribable the feelings that his music can make well up inside you. I love your breakdowns man, like Philip also said youre easily one of the best Ive seen to react to him. You have an incredible ability to understand the structure of a song and true lyricism but also the feelings and thoughts that go behind and into such things. Keep at it bro, Im here for it. Also, just being a lyricism/rap fan in general, go nuts and listen to ALL the NF discography once you finish the journey, its worth it.
My daughter asked me the other day why she can’t describe her own face. I told her that sometimes, when we are very familiar with something, it’s hard to wrap our words around it. It’s like the knowledge of all our own depths and dimensions paralyzes our ability to describe it out loud. But then, like we recognize ourselves when looking in the mirror,, we know immediately when we hear someone else speak aloud what we’ve felt before. Poetry and song and plays (and cinema now) persist for this reason. They move us and reflect back to us our own condition. And sometimes, once we hear it and know we are not alone (that we are, in essence, heard), it helps the healing. ❤❤❤
wow i love your reaction It's just real and I really appreciate it. I also like how you listen to the music and show your feelings and say what you feel. Personally I've been listening to NF for 5/6 years and I listen to it daily and when I'm down it helps a lot. your reaction to the nf songs are just real. realy appreciate it!
NF is my therapist, troughout the years he helped me get passed my trauma's, divorce, lonelyness.. He helps me reflect on situations. Really therapeutic 👌👌💜💜
Thanks for being vulnerable.... there's many of us who have been healed and found the bravery to open up after listening to NF's bravery in these songs. I know it's hard... but its worth it. I and many others are here on this journey you're taking bro!
This is why NF has such an amazing fan base. He can reach people and put things to words that most artists can't. He reaches all those emotions that so many of us have felt but didn't know how to put into words. For many years I have felt like screaming inside, and then I found NF. I can scream with him. He saved my life.
Love your reactions to his music! I first heard this song recently from someone trapped where I was 10 years ago who played it for me one night when he was sad and wasted. I tried to tell him there's a way out of the mansion but nothing I could've said would have been as profound or powerful as Hope. Life is a journey and NF is doing an exceptional job of sharing his. Love it!!!!! ❤
The reason for watching reactions is to feel the music for the first time again through someone else. Thank you for giving such a wonderfully heartfelt reaction.
Yasss you did it!! ❤️ it’s better to start at the beginning of NF which is his album Mansion. Usually an order of sorts Mansion 1. Intro 2.mansion 3.all I have 4.wake up 5.notepad 6. I’ll keep on 7. Can you hold me Therapy Session album 1.intro II 2.therapy session 3. I just wanna know 4. How could you leave us** important reference to pills took his mom. 5.breathe 6.real 7.oh lord 8. I can feel it. 9.statement Perception album 1.outcast 2. Dreams 3. Let you down 4.destiny 5.if you want love 6. Remember this 7. Know 8. Lie 9. Outro 10. Chasing demo- The search album - All of them Literally every song on this album!! Then clouds the mixtape 🔥
I subbed after your Hope reaction and watching this made me already feel so connected to you and appreciate your authenticity! You’re going to love this journey and can’t wait for more reactions!
it was the same for me i found his music when i was at my lowest and its taught me so much about life and how others actually experience what i do and NF's music has made me aceppt my struggles and embrace them in a way that i can keep fighting and keep getting up in the morning and i really hope it will give you what you need too, that spark and that ignition to just embrace all the shit your going thru to the point where you will find a new path. where many out there that relate to his music your not alone remember that and i may be a stranger but if you need someone to talk to ore anything someone outside the box that can see it diffrent and give you a perspective just reach out.
I just want to say thank you for your content. I came across your channel months ago and I look forward to your reactions so much. I always like but never have commented on a video. I keep getting surprised when you start to check out more and more artists I myself enjoy. I really resonate with how much you actually feel the music and break things down. I don’t have anyone around me who loves and obsesses over music so I always just enjoy things by myself, but this channel makes me feel like I’m with people who get joy out of things just as much. I would not be here today without the help of music, I can’t go a day without it.
So cool you’re starting the journey, I’ve been a long time dan of NF, you’re reaction is amazing and relatable. There are no words to describe how much I can relate to NF and how much of my own feelings and emotions he has put in the perfect words. Keep om going! Much love from Holland!
I‘m totally here every step of your journey! We all are or were in a place when we needed to hear somebody to find the right words and is brave enough to share them! Thank you for letting it touch u!
Great job!! Looking forward to many more. Mansion is a classic and now you know why it was such a special moment when it showed up in Hope. It was such a throwback moment for all of us
Dang bro I really like your reactions especially how honest and deep you feel about music it mad me also realize how great this song is always been my favorites
Real, in person friends are hard to come by my man. But it’s clear you have a lot of appreciation from and offers from subscribers on here, and that’s a blessing in and of itself. Keep your head up.
You do you brother, most of us have been through the journey and have heard these songs 100 times and id be disappointed if you didnt pause, process, and replay. You do you
I am here for it Teddy. Let's go! That house in Hope is the Mansion but it has grown over the years. We see the actual Mansion house at the point of this song, when you watch the video from Intro 2 where he tells us "I never told you it was a beautiful house" about the Mansion and we see the real Mansion at this point in his career. The fact that the house is so huge in Hope contrasted with the house we see in Intro 2 is really, really, deep.
Your reactions are very emotional and genuine. NF has helped me through so much going through the journey. I gained the courage to go to therapy. And when Hope came out I realized how much better I have become by hearing where he is at now too. It’s truly inspiring and it is a long journey but it is so very worth it. I still have work to do but i can see the brighter sides of myself now. I hope if you are struggling you can take his words with you and do the work to learn to love yourself. Great reaction! Hope to see more soon!
I’ve been on NF for about 5-6 years now, so I’ve seen every reactor do his music, and you are by far the one that does his music the most justice. Please keep pausing, and please keep giving us your thoughts, that’s what a reaction should be, anyone that doesn’t appreciate that can bounce. You’re killin it, keep it up!
100% agree sir, and I second that! Oh and btw, great name sir!😂

Appreciate you opening up at the end. Having consistent friends and that group to rely on is tough when you get older. Especially as a man. So respect for you letting yourself be vulnerable.
I think the thing about NF that gets us every time, besides the fact that he’s very talented and extremely underrated, is his relatability. He’s written about it in his music but still, the first time you listen someone else’s words that are presented so poetically beautifully and ring so true and close to home deep in your soul it does things to you and it’s not just about the music anymore. All I know is that I still get as emotional as I did the first time I listened to Mansion and Let you down 5 years ago so it’s definitely not just about the music, that’s why people wanted you to take the full ride through the whole NF journey.
PS: don’t apologise for the pauses and the rewinds, seeing how you react and process emotions while you listen and try to understand is why we watch these videos.
Honestly I’m reacting to most of these with you too and I’m getting just as wrecked. I heard the search when it came out and it stayed with me but I never really heard the rest of his music. Now I see how much I missed out on. As a Christian, seeing another fellow Christian be this vulnerable and real is so refreshing because usually the religion inside the church makes it so that we can’t express fully our hardships because “Christ is our joy” which don’t get me wrong, He most certainly is for me, but it doesn’t erase the difficulties of life, dealing with mental health and loneliness is so hard and this mentality makes it feel even worse because it makes you feel alienated. Also, i refer to it as religion, having this mentality, because in the Bible, Jesus very openly talked about his struggles with sadness, loneliness and many other stories in the Bible refer to depression and anxiety but churches seem to choose to ignore this. So yeah, all in all, I’m happy to be represented or feel seen in NF’s songs. It’s oh so very nice.
“We all share the same heartbeat, unified bpm”- Bang Chan once said and it’s so true.
Being vulnerable, especially on camera, takes a lot of guts. So I hope that what we all say here could help you too and support you along your personal journey. So if you need to talk, don’t hesitate to contact. You give us all so much joy and the only thing we could do is give it back 100x times more.
I love that you relate to this. Ideas exist on higher planes, vibrations flow throughout the universe in dimensions we reach in our dreams and memories... Time is conceptual... we are all connected to the source. 🙏❤️
NF is a true artist, paints us a picture of his trials and tribulations through the medium of rap.
I agree. Noticed that immediately. Mad respect to u for doing that! I hope Nate's music helps heal ur wounds. Stay strong my friend & like so many from his community has said, we're here for u. 🖤
Pause all you need to my guy! Take it all in! The lyrics are life changing! I cant say how many late nights ive have with tears in my eyes listening to his music. As a man with 2 daughters and a tough upbrining trying to be the best father i can be and live for them
Dude after watching hundreds of NF reactions yours hits different. Keep up the good work!! I'm American and you can pause as much as possible lol.
I love your channel…love watching you discovering one of my favorites…love the honesty
You are my favorite reactor! Thank you for sharing your emotions as well. I’m sure this nf journey will bring out more in you as it has for all of us. You made me cry when you got emotional.
Man you’re in the NF loop now. He’s 100% got you like he’s got the rest of us
Subbed for NF
I like watching people go on the journey and timing is perfect to catch yours in real time. Nice.
So many of us for many different reasons have been touched by this song and became life long fans of NF. I know this and How Could You Leave Us felt like someone took my private experiences and put them in a song
Nate has a gift.
The amount of times that ive listened to this song is insane. NF has always been someone who i couldnt relate to more when it comes to our depression and anxiety. His music has helped me for years and years.
Whenever i find a reactor that starts an "NF Journey" i get so excited for them to learn how powerful his music is. Keep it up
Thank you for leaving it in. This journey was written for you as it was for so many of us. At least now, finally, I can kick fear and those dark voices out and let friends in, perhaps not as far as I'd like, but it's progress, not perfection. As Ren noted, we are human beings.
You're rocking these reaction videos brother. Keep em coming man and never be afraid to be open and honest when you're talking about NF lyrics speaking to you. That's why the majority of us are here are because his words spoke to us and we're emotionally invested in his success and take joy in others finding him too. Hopefully that's not just me lol
Oh my goodness I can't believe I missed when you started this so well I'm not going to be with the channel live but I'm going to start this over so I can watch her reaction. This is definitely one that hit me in my heart
It’s all about being real and authentic. I never stop pausing and relating to the music you are listening to. I enjoy your reactions so much more than the person that just listens and pauses and says wow every couple minutes and then has nothing to say at the end of the song. Stay relatable stay authentic and your channel will explode through this journey.
Love you brother. Yes, NF is loved because he gives those of us who have lived in darkness a way to express our feelings. Keep it up. This is why hope meant so much to his fans. Because we’ve gone through this growth process with him and he’s leading us all to having hope for a better life.
I was a little worried that you'd skip over the non-music video songs but I'm happy to see that you're going through everything. The first reaction to NF always hits the hardest, and I've never been disappointed by his work. You probably know this already, but some of his songs aren't tied into specific albums, so make sure to check everything thoroughly
I understand that music is your passion. Your the only reaction channel I subscribed to cause you seem to really be authentic and I appreciate the depth you brings to your reviews.
This is my second video of your reactions. I like that you're Genuine in your Reactions. No BS...
Honestly, ur reactions are beautiful. Hot tears pour out sometimes/most times listening to Mr Nate. So looking forward to seeing more from you. I know that things tend to come up when NEEDED. U seem super real and that is impressive.
This is the type of reaction I'm here for. I can always listen to the song with no pauses. Thank you for expressing your thoughts and connecting with his music as many of us do. You have a new subscriber.
I watched many reactions to NF and yours is easly my favourite because you actually feel The Music and at The same time opening up about your own problems. To see you so engaged makes me more engaged and i don’t understand how you don’t have many friends because you are super cool.
This song made me a lifetime NF fan back in 2015. Blew me away.
I’m so happy for you that you found NF and connect with his music to the degree that you do. In one of his other songs, Therapy Session, he talks about music being his therapy, and I see his music as my therapy as well. Not that I don’t need actual therapy also, but I feel a lot better after listening to his songs, crying and releasing some of that built up anxiety I get from time to time.
I’ve already subscribed to your channel after your first NF reaction, I really feel you get him and his fan base, and I hope you continue on this journey, both for yours and my own sake.
Love from Sweden ❤
You got another subscriber from NF! That guy is amazing. Ready to see your reactions to the rest of his stuff
He does the same thing to me with his music it's so personal ❤️ we are all out here together and didn't know it until NF came and showed us all we aren't alone!
Been a NF fan for 6 years now so seeing this makes me so proud 🤍🤍🤍
Your reactions are truly the most real and I'm here for the NF journey brother! His music and the videos alomg with them are his stories.
Bruh 🙏🏻 keep it up. Just remember - this shows nothing other than the fact that YOU. ARE. HUMAN. The raw reactions and insights you bring allow viewers like us to be reminded of the same thing my mans
Had to bail on the live chat (at work) but I'm glad this song seemed to mean so much to you Teddy. I'm 41 with 2 daughters and I can't always explain or even go into detail about what my life was like growing up but having artists out there like NF makes a huge difference. I can hand them his music and they can get some kind of idea what goes through my head on the daily. Stick with the journey, I can't say it gets easier but it does get better.
This song is 🔥. Enjoy the journey man
Man. Watching you react to NF makes me feel all the feels all over again. Raw and real. Love it my dude.
So when you paused after hearing NF say Congratulations you will always have a room in my mind.” He is referring to Fear.
Once u get to Intro lll that song his him and Fear going back and forth at each other
Thanks for not editing it out. Powerful.
I just realized nf never went into the basement in the Hope music video, that’s the one door he didn’t open up, and it’s the one he said he wouldn’t in this song
I love your commentary!! ❤️🙏🔥 I love your passion. Only reason I come back...
Forreal bro, now you see why were all such major NF fans. He has this innate ability to say the things we cant in such an eloquent and cohesive way its indescribable the feelings that his music can make well up inside you. I love your breakdowns man, like Philip also said youre easily one of the best Ive seen to react to him. You have an incredible ability to understand the structure of a song and true lyricism but also the feelings and thoughts that go behind and into such things. Keep at it bro, Im here for it. Also, just being a lyricism/rap fan in general, go nuts and listen to ALL the NF discography once you finish the journey, its worth it.
Awesome reaction! Really enjoy your commentary! Look forward to going with you on this journey! And checking out your other videos.
Big hug Teddy 🫂 thank you for sharing with us
Bro I feel you on that man. 💯 NF puts you in that mood man. He makes you think, and that's why I've been a fan for so long.
My daughter asked me the other day why she can’t describe her own face. I told her that sometimes, when we are very familiar with something, it’s hard to wrap our words around it. It’s like the knowledge of all our own depths and dimensions paralyzes our ability to describe it out loud. But then, like we recognize ourselves when looking in the mirror,, we know immediately when we hear someone else speak aloud what we’ve felt before. Poetry and song and plays (and cinema now) persist for this reason. They move us and reflect back to us our own condition. And sometimes, once we hear it and know we are not alone (that we are, in essence, heard), it helps the healing.
❤❤❤
wow i love your reaction It's just real and I really appreciate it. I also like how you listen to the music and show your feelings and say what you feel. Personally I've been listening to NF for 5/6 years and I listen to it daily and when I'm down it helps a lot.
your reaction to the nf songs are just real.
realy appreciate it!
NF is literally all I listen to! Love the reactions and I’m here for the journey you’re on.
NF is my therapist, troughout the years he helped me get passed my trauma's, divorce, lonelyness.. He helps me reflect on situations. Really therapeutic 👌👌💜💜
Thanks for being vulnerable.... there's many of us who have been healed and found the bravery to open up after listening to NF's bravery in these songs. I know it's hard... but its worth it. I and many others are here on this journey you're taking bro!
Welcome to the Journey 🔥 Thank you for doing this, love your reactions, comments and pauses 😊.
This is why NF has such an amazing fan base. He can reach people and put things to words that most artists can't. He reaches all those emotions that so many of us have felt but didn't know how to put into words. For many years I have felt like screaming inside, and then I found NF. I can scream with him. He saved my life.
Love your reactions to his music!
I first heard this song recently from someone trapped where I was 10 years ago who played it for me one night when he was sad and wasted. I tried to tell him there's a way out of the mansion but nothing I could've said would have been as profound or powerful as Hope.
Life is a journey and NF is doing an exceptional job of sharing his. Love it!!!!! ❤
Thank you for sharing, really wanna give you a hug. Much love ❤
The reason for watching reactions is to feel the music for the first time again through someone else. Thank you for giving such a wonderfully heartfelt reaction.

I subbed after your Hope reaction and watching this made me already feel so connected to you and appreciate your authenticity! You’re going to love this journey and can’t wait for more reactions!
it was the same for me i found his music when i was at my lowest and its taught me so much about life and how others actually experience what i do and NF's music has made me aceppt my struggles and embrace them in a way that i can keep fighting and keep getting up in the morning and i really hope it will give you what you need too, that spark and that ignition to just embrace all the shit your going thru to the point where you will find a new path. where many out there that relate to his music your not alone remember that and i may be a stranger but if you need someone to talk to ore anything someone outside the box that can see it diffrent and give you a perspective just reach out.
I just want to say thank you for your content. I came across your channel months ago and I look forward to your reactions so much. I always like but never have commented on a video. I keep getting surprised when you start to check out more and more artists I myself enjoy. I really resonate with how much you actually feel the music and break things down. I don’t have anyone around me who loves and obsesses over music so I always just enjoy things by myself, but this channel makes me feel like I’m with people who get joy out of things just as much. I would not be here today without the help of music, I can’t go a day without it.
So cool you’re starting the journey, I’ve been a long time dan of NF, you’re reaction is amazing and relatable. There are no words to describe how much I can relate to NF and how much of my own feelings and emotions he has put in the perfect words. Keep om going! Much love from Holland!
I‘m totally here every step of your journey! We all are or were in a place when we needed to hear somebody to find the right words and is brave enough to share them! Thank you for letting it touch u!
Welcome to the NF club! Excited to see the journey you’ll take dissecting his lyrics.
Great job!! Looking forward to many more. Mansion is a classic and now you know why it was such a special moment when it showed up in Hope. It was such a throwback moment for all of us
Dang bro I really like your reactions especially how honest and deep you feel about music it mad me also realize how great this song is always been my favorites
Real, in person friends are hard to come by my man. But it’s clear you have a lot of appreciation from and offers from subscribers on here, and that’s a blessing in and of itself. Keep your head up.
Listening to NF *requires* lots of pausing. And rewinding a bit. Thank you for doing it this way!
Been checking in every day twice a day waiting for another NF reaction!!!!
Let’s go my man!!!
You do you brother, most of us have been through the journey and have heard these songs 100 times and id be disappointed if you didnt pause, process, and replay. You do you
I am here for it Teddy. Let's go! That house in Hope is the Mansion but it has grown over the years. We see the actual Mansion house at the point of this song, when you watch the video from Intro 2 where he tells us "I never told you it was a beautiful house" about the Mansion and we see the real Mansion at this point in his career. The fact that the house is so huge in Hope contrasted with the house we see in Intro 2 is really, really, deep.
Your reactions are very emotional and genuine. NF has helped me through so much going through the journey. I gained the courage to go to therapy. And when Hope came out I realized how much better I have become by hearing where he is at now too. It’s truly inspiring and it is a long journey but it is so very worth it. I still have work to do but i can see the brighter sides of myself now. I hope if you are struggling you can take his words with you and do the work to learn to love yourself. Great reaction! Hope to see more soon!
Mansion is the blueprint to NFs music. It comes up throughout his catalog. "So he sleeps with regret"....file that away for later on the Journey.
None of us have friends really! You are not the only one brother. We are here with you. You are a friend to us all xxx
At the beginning he sounds fearful and when the anger comes out, them drums come banging in. It's a masterpiece.
