Here’s the thing, for all of us on the journey, we are here to see how NF is doing. If he hadn’t been ready for forgiveness, we’d all have been cool. But he was, and we all get to celebrate for him. Pure gold.
How could you leave us: "I aint gonna say that I forgive you because it hasn't happened" Mama: "I can't hold this unforgiveness in my heart no more... you'll always be mama to us" We love to see this growth❤😢
My mom past away February 17, 2023. When I heard this song, I finally was able mourn. Before this song, i was just numb to the fact that she's no longer here. Thank you for this heartfelt reaction. I miss you momma. I hope it helps anyone who's lost a loved one. #RR
I’m sorry for your loss my man. Can’t imagine losing a parent. I’m still too attached to mine. My grandfather is sick right now, and it’s unlikely he will make it so i can understand on some level. Just know your Mom loved you so much, and she will watch over you forever. She is still with you in your heart and soul.
Lost mine unexpedectly in October last year and did the same as you. This song broke me and i felt so many regrets and all the sudden started to understand the bigger picture of how hard her life was, despite being a good mother. I hadn’t talked to her for 8 months and didn’t even get to be there when she passed. This one hurts.
The growth as a human that he has made is so beautiful and inspiring. He not only found hope for himself, but is offering it to others throughout this album.
@@michaelzainey5781 I think he has, the way he is offering it to himself, his wife and his mom,etc. throughout this album. Art is totally subjective though, so I might be wrong :)
I personally don't think Nate sees the old version of himself as an enemy, but more a part of himself that he is ready to let go/will no longer allow to have control. He addresses this in "Running" and I can't wait to see your reaction, I know you'll both love it. ❤
@@kristinpugmire-cr4kv Yes, very true from both of you. I'm finishing my degree in psych for clinical therapy and I can say confidently is that a major piece of advice for us up and coming therapists to allow people to understand that a previous "negative" persona that you had wasn't a person that isn't worth remembering, its someone that you should remember based on the circumstances. People don't change from nothing, and people don't act from nothing. There is always a cause and some people just need to hear that sometimes.
that last line broke me yet again. listening to this song made me feel so proud of Nate. he knew holding on to his anger will do him absolutely no good. especially now that he has a child, it gave him a perspective of a parent. and i really think he’s letting his past go, forgiving his Mama, for Beckham. to be the best dad he can ever be. and im here for it. love yall man seriously im so glad i found you.
I’m hyperventilating I’ve been waiting for this! As a Mama who heard “How Could You Leave Us” at the perfect time to change my mind on leaving this life, so my boys didn’t grow up singing that song…. This song WRECKED me…. 🖤🤍
@@Dysphoric4life I’m sorry you had to experience that.. i didn’t grow up with parents, so i couldn’t possibly understand, but i know if i lost one of my boys it would gut me…
As someone who tried to end it multiple times I just recently told my mom that was happening in my early teen years and early 20s she told me she would not survive me being gone before her and between nfs music and other artists and her saying that helps me get through it everyday little by little
as someone who lost their dad at 17 ( 2 days after my bday) , im glad you’re still here. i’ve been meaning to show my mom this song bc i resonate a lot with it especially growing up the same way Nate did.
I know we are all crying ...especially us empathetic folks. I get surprised too all the time how well this guy can put words together so well. The man has showed us everything and encouraging us all along the way too. 🙌 God Bless NF
It's a very mature song. You see NF grow as a person and forgive his Mom despite everything that he was put through as a result of her addiction and issues. You definitely start to understand your parents more and the mistakes they made as you get older
As someone who has watched Nate since day 1 and owes my personal healing to him and his music, I couldn't stop crying hearing him finally start to get there. Very thankful.
So this song hit me so much, I refuse to watch any reactors to it but you two and Knox Hill. I love how he writes songs that connects us to him. Every single one of us that listen to him, fans or not. And thank you guys for being real. Kyle, I reacted the same way. Here's to every human. May you be on the road to forgiveness. Much 🖤 and be kind.
Mama is a beautiful song of forgiveness and healing. It still makes me cry, but they are tears of joy at seeing a person come thru a long, hard journey of self reflection, loss, hope and forgiveness. Such an awesome album!
This song gave me healing❤. My mom died 43 yrs ago. I was 14. I've always been resentful but never realized it until recently. NFs music has helped so much.
guys im addicted to your reactions🖤 cant wait for NF - Running🔥 and im thinking he was getting the letters from his sister who was written by his mom! to Nate🖤
My mom passed away on April 5th 2020 and from the moment this song started I was bawling my eyes out😭 but this song also gave me some peace and has helped me a lot since I never really grieved her death when it happened cause I don't like to think about it. But I NEEDED this song in my life to help me get through some of it.
This song was everything I’ve been wanting to say to my mom who passed away in 2000 in my arms. This entire album I’ve had on repeat since Friday of last week. This album this song has been my medicine. Running is exactly where I’m at on my healing journey.
"Skip to track number 4, now that's a really sad one" - NF in Nate. The fact he was talking about how could you leave us in that part but also made mama track number 4 too
I was so afraid to hear this one too. Saved it for last. It's one of the most beautiful songs I've ever heard. Knowing where he was in his heart before and then this. Shew. Talk about powerful. Such growth and maturity and understanding. What a journey indeed. Let love shine❤❤❤
I love your guys reactions ❤ i lost my mom a few years to cancer and the first time i heard this song from NF i didn't connect with it but now that i've heard it again with you guys reacting to it. It hits that spot in my heart for my mom. RIP moms we've lost.❤
I get to see him in concert tonight and this is one of the songs on his set list I know I’m going to start crying because I know my momma is up there smiling down on my sister and I ❤ you guys do a wonderful job reacting!
Kinda glad the fun fact for the night was left off… NF and this song deserved the full emotion that we experienced with you two. Happy to be here with you guys!
My mother passed back at 2021 and hearing this through i couldn’t stop crying, it made me actually forgive certain things that she’s done. But I love my mother and I hope she’s resting now. This is why NF is so relatable I understand how he feels
I’m just learning about and listening to NF - first song I heard was Hope. Then I went and listened to his whole back catalogue before I finished the Hope album. This song (and Hope when I first heard it) had me gushing tears
This song was hard to listen to, lost my dad/best friend back in 2019 due to a heart attack and id do anything to honestly know he was ok, finding out i was gonna become a dad back last year broke me because I knew I wouldn’t be able to ask my dad questions about being a dad/father and I know once i get to that point and have another child, its gonna do the exact same thing again. Tears already start to form while i type this so I’ll leave that there…
I just LOVE seeing Nate come full circle from How Could You Leave Us, with nothing bbut resentment and unforgiveness and anger in his heart toward his mom, to THIS song which is nothing but wishing his mom peace and joy and happiness up in Heaven. This is the most beautiful song he's ever written, and that's saying a LOT.
I fucking love this song so much. I started the album on the Friday it came out. Glad I was in the shower when this one came on, I was also a blubbering mess. I've missed my mom for going on 25 years now and often wonder and hope the same for her. Such a beautiful tribute.
My mother passed away unexpectedly at the age of 47. I was only 25 years old when it happened and it wrecked me. We had a great relationship but a toxic one at the same time. She died due to complications from drugs and alcohol and then I followed in her footsteps and put my kids through the same hell. Thankfully, I've turned my life around and I've been clean for some time and building back those relationships with my kids. But songs like how could you leave us and then this one.... Completely express what I've gone through since losing her. I'm finally at a point where I just want my mother to be at peace in heaven and know that one day I'll be able to see her again and none of the bad memories will even matter. Thank you so much for the vulnerability that you both share. Even if you don't particularly want to watch videos like this, you can tell that y'all genuinely care about NF and his journey and how far he's come. Come. Also love that y'all really do care about your subscribers, that's why I subscribed to your patreon not too long ago. Ago. If anyone's reading this and you're not subscribed, I would recommend it because they're awesome
Hey @RykerRoad! You guys shouldn’t worry about looking “cool” there’s nothing wrong with shedding tears. When you listen to NF you guys should just be free to act how you would off camera with these reactions
This is a powerful song without even any of the back story. Knowing the story though, I immediately teared up when the first line played. To hear that he found forgiveness to give, and love beyond that is enough to floor the listener. I lived that life of pain and resentment turning into forgiveness and beyond and it changes a person.
I don't know why this song makes me feel like it's a hug It reminds me of those moments after I fight with my mom and we then look at each after we cooled down and just hug no real words to express that we're sorry for what we might have said or behaved Nate can't have that and I think that's what hurts but even so this song makes me feel like these words is his way of hugging his mom after a long fight Why must he always make me cry
😭 sobbing. There is nobody that comes close to NF and his art to bring everyone with him on his healing journey with his entire heart and soul layed out album after album song after song. I truly believe he is and will save lives generation after generation. Thank you NF for helping me with my traumas.
My dad passed January 22nd of 22’ and I didn’t have the best relationship with him but I relate to the lyrics so much. Especially the “I can’t hold this unforgiveness in my heart no more”
Copied this from a post I had seen, thought it was very interesting and true I went back viewing NF discography and I realized Nate just completed the 5 stages of grief with the release of HOPE. Stay with me, this is amazing😊 The 5 stages of grief: 》Denial - (I don't believe they are really gone) In Mansion, Nate talks about him not addressing things but instead covering them up like they never happen. He starts talking about his mom and then goes on to say "I should just stop now, we ain't got enough room in this song". 》Anger - (I'm so angry that they are gone) Therapy Session is full of rage. NF pulled out his anger on that album. In HOW COULD YOU LEAVE US he expresses his anger for his mom leaving them. 》Bargaining - (I promise I'll change if they come back) On Perception, we see a slightly more positive NF in songs like Remember This, Green lights, One hundred... implying some form of change yet still holding back to the past. 》Depression - (I feel hopeless about my future without them) The Search gave us probably the most broken and vulnerable NF. In the interlude, Nate said he had reached every goal he every dreamed of but it was that moment when he felt the most depressed. 》Acceptance - (I can go on with my life and deal with their absence) On Hope, NF finally accepts his loss and forgive his mom. We see the most self confident version of NF so far. He finally let go his past and embrace a better version of himself in HOPE. What do you guys think? #nfhope #newalbum #nfrealmusic
The first time I heard this song, there was tears in my eyes before the second line started. This song makes me so happy, and makes my heart SO full. It still hits really hard, but I am so freaking proud of him and I am thrilled to see his growth. I can't express how emotional this song made me from missing one of my own family members, from seeing him mature and grow.. there's just a lot of emotions here.
NF truly has a heart of gold and I can truly see God working on him and through him. I actually didn't know about the NF journey til I started watching you guys. It's been absolutely amazing to go through it and experience it with yall knowing the connections and relatedness of it all. Happy to continue this journey with yall. God bless!
This is such a good song that hits hard in such a good way, it reminds me of Rearview Memories by To Speak of Wolves, ya’ll need to check that one out.
This song is so beautiful and it makes me so happy for him but the amount of emotion this brings out in me listening to it is crazy. He has such a succint way of bringing everything together and telling a story simply that brings you in and it's amazing. 😊
I couldn’t sing a word at the concert. His home videos playing behind him, especially after losing my mom. Watching him be so vulnerable. I bawled the whole time. He started it off sitting down with his head down. I still cry. Crying now.
I was at his most recent live show (in Auckland, New Zealand) and he broke down on stage at the end of this song and had to sit down to regather himself for a moment. You can tell how much this song still truly means to him as a human being.
I just wanted to say you brothers give the best NF reactions. I've followed ur entire journey. I lost my mom in a similar situation in 96 and this song has helped me with my healing process. Healing is a process and I'm so proud of Nate. Beautiful song. I'm so glad he's topping all the charts with this album.
A reactor said that these are tracks coming from a grown man and I heartily agree. I love that he's able to give us an album that shows us how Hope is impacting his life and I'm so here for it. NF is truly a man that deserves all the flowers and respect. 🔥🔥🔥🔥🌹🌹🌹🌹
I went to the tour opener in Columbus and this song hit just as hard as the first time I heard it. The point that hit the hardest though was that Nate actually started breaking down and couldn’t get through the final couple words of the song. One of the things I love so much about Nate is how he’s not afraid to be Vulnerable and everyone knows exactly how some of his own songs effect him. They are that deep
It's a beautiful place to be when we realize our parents are human and life was beating them down while they tried to raise us, given everything my mom went through in her life, her kids turned out damn good.
Damn guys, don't know if you ever read comments to old videos, but your comments are just so on spot. I'll just say that I'm happy I found you. Both Eric with his sincere emotions, and Kyle with hist one hundred percent openness - you guys just rock. Thank You sincerely for your honesty.
It’s so beautiful to hear that he’s let go of the pain and anger he had for his mom leaving them, and choosing pills over them. He now feels for her, sees how her pain was and her past, and she just didn’t get to have happiness that she now gets to have in heaven.
Here’s the thing, for all of us on the journey, we are here to see how NF is doing. If he hadn’t been ready for forgiveness, we’d all have been cool. But he was, and we all get to celebrate for him. Pure gold.
Excellently stated. We're here for the kid no matter what, but it feels so good to watch him grow! 🖤
Wow, that was well-said, and I agree!
Love your words…100% true! No matter what we are there with him to hear whatever he has to say ❤
This is the best comment. Yes 👏🏼
100
for those who don't know, Brittany is his sister
No shit
Who's Brittany?
Idk so🙂
I was wondering who she was. Glad I know now.
@@MADsCASTINGshe did say for those that don't know lol
@@davidturner2449 Exactly, @MADsMINDFREAK you chill with your tone man
How could you leave us: "I aint gonna say that I forgive you because it hasn't happened"
Mama: "I can't hold this unforgiveness in my heart no more... you'll always be mama to us"
We love to see this growth❤😢
My mom past away February 17, 2023. When I heard this song, I finally was able mourn. Before this song, i was just numb to the fact that she's no longer here. Thank you for this heartfelt reaction. I miss you momma. I hope it helps anyone who's lost a loved one. #RR
I’m so sorry for you loss! 🖤

"Save a table for four" kills me every time
This song hits deep man
The growth as a human that he has made is so beautiful and inspiring. He not only found hope for himself, but is offering it to others throughout this album.
So he hasn’t necessarily found Hope yet. He has the map to it. We don’t know that he’s found yet.
@@michaelzainey5781 I think he has, the way he is offering it to himself, his wife and his mom,etc. throughout this album. Art is totally subjective though, so I might be wrong :)
@@pettycrockerxx also, the last song of the album is literally NF saying goodbye to the darker side of him.
I personally don't think Nate sees the old version of himself as an enemy, but more a part of himself that he is ready to let go/will no longer allow to have control. He addresses this in "Running" and I can't wait to see your reaction, I know you'll both love it. ❤
Exactly. There's no moving forward in therapy while judging, shaming, and hating the kid self you used to be. That part of yourself must be honored.
@@sandiraymond1761 Beautifully put! I think so much of healing from trauma is learning to offer compassion to that younger part of yourself.
@@kristinpugmire-cr4kv Yes, very true from both of you. I'm finishing my degree in psych for clinical therapy and I can say confidently is that a major piece of advice for us up and coming therapists to allow people to understand that a previous "negative" persona that you had wasn't a person that isn't worth remembering, its someone that you should remember based on the circumstances. People don't change from nothing, and people don't act from nothing. There is always a cause and some people just need to hear that sometimes.
that last line broke me yet again. listening to this song made me feel so proud of Nate. he knew holding on to his anger will do him absolutely no good. especially now that he has a child, it gave him a perspective of a parent. and i really think he’s letting his past go, forgiving his Mama, for Beckham. to be the best dad he can ever be. and im here for it.
love yall man seriously im so glad i found you.
Love seeing Nate come full circle from holding anger in his heart towards his mom to now accepting, forgiving, and understanding.
My Mom passed away Dec. 18, 2023 unexpectedly. I listen to this song to just let all the emotions flow through me. Hits me like a truck these days.
🙏🏽❤❤❤
I’m hyperventilating I’ve been waiting for this! As a Mama who heard “How Could You Leave Us” at the perfect time to change my mind on leaving this life, so my boys didn’t grow up singing that song…. This song WRECKED me…. 🖤🤍
As someone that lost their mother at 12, I'm glad you stuck around for them.
@@Dysphoric4life I’m sorry you had to experience that.. i didn’t grow up with parents, so i couldn’t possibly understand, but i know if i lost one of my boys it would gut me…

I lost my mom 9 days before this track dropped. She fought for 8 years through a disease so this broke me and yet help me heal.
As someone who has watched Nate since day 1 and owes my personal healing to him and his music, I couldn't stop crying hearing him finally start to get there. Very thankful.
Same
So this song hit me so much, I refuse to watch any reactors to it but you two and Knox Hill. I love how he writes songs that connects us to him. Every single one of us that listen to him, fans or not.
And thank you guys for being real. Kyle, I reacted the same way.
Here's to every human. May you be on the road to forgiveness. Much 🖤 and be kind.
No Life Shaq summed up this album perfectly when doing his reaction to the album. Every song on this album is what is giving NF Hope.
this dude made you cry...it's all good..next track will make you lose your shit
Mama is a beautiful song of forgiveness and healing. It still makes me cry, but they are tears of joy at seeing a person come thru a long, hard journey of self reflection, loss, hope and forgiveness. Such an awesome album!
I was sitting here balling, then I see Eric take a drink out of the worlds biggest mug and I just busted out laughing. Thanks for another great video
Right? Where can I get one??
This song gave me healing❤. My mom died 43 yrs ago. I was 14. I've always been resentful but never realized it until recently. NFs music has helped so much.
My mom passed away in. 1995. I was 12. Hearing this track is making me wish I could have one moment again and just talk to her.
This song made my instantly cry. The growth he has has gone through is absolutely amazing and beautiful. Thanks for the reaction, love you guys.
I can't hold this unforgiveness in my heart no more....that line crushes me every single time cuz it's what I struggle with in my life...
I've heard this song so much yet here I am crying... That "mum I love you" line gets me everytime 😭
guys im addicted to your reactions🖤 cant wait for NF - Running🔥 and im thinking he was getting the letters from his sister who was written by his mom! to Nate🖤
tell me about it! i can actually watch their reactions over and over again.
Eric’s cup is MASSIVE😭
You should see his coffee mug! Oh wait......
I love that your mom is listening to new NF.
My mom passed away on April 5th 2020 and from the moment this song started I was bawling my eyes out😭 but this song also gave me some peace and has helped me a lot since I never really grieved her death when it happened cause I don't like to think about it. But I NEEDED this song in my life to help me get through some of it.
This song was everything I’ve been wanting to say to my mom who passed away in 2000 in my arms. This entire album I’ve had on repeat since Friday of last week. This album this song has been my medicine. Running is exactly where I’m at on my healing journey.
NF. This is one of the best tracks ever. First one in years, that’s made me cry. ABSOLUTELY PHENOMENAL ❤
NF is Legendary
I seen NF recently and he sang this song along with videos of his mom smiling in the background. I tried so hard not to cry.
0:16-0:23 I love how NF did that. Intentionally making a meaningful song #4 and making a resolve to that song #4 as well
"Skip to track number 4, now that's a really sad one" - NF in Nate. The fact he was talking about how could you leave us in that part but also made mama track number 4 too
I lost my mom not long ago in a similar situation ....this is a very difficult place to come to. I am so glad that hes partially there.
This song is so beautiful. The piano and vocal samples are so gorgeous. And hearing him forgive his mom and hope she’s free from her pain. So good.
This song is so beautiful. I'm so glad Nate has forgiven his mother.
Thank you for great reaction as always. ✌️❤️
I was so afraid to hear this one too. Saved it for last. It's one of the most beautiful songs I've ever heard. Knowing where he was in his heart before and then this. Shew. Talk about powerful. Such growth and maturity and understanding. What a journey indeed. Let love shine❤❤❤
Anyone notice how the piano is similar to how could you leave us, but this piano is more high pitched making it happier?
Thanks for the genuine reaction. I lost my mom unexpectedly May 16th, 2020 and never got to say goodbye. This song cuts deep
I always find it interesting that people thought this song was going to be like "How Could You Leave Us?"
He said he forgave her in Hope.
A song of closure and forgiveness. Can't have one without the other. Beautiful song.
I've been waiting for this!!!
I love your guys reactions ❤ i lost my mom a few years to cancer and the first time i heard this song from NF i didn't connect with it but now that i've heard it again with you guys reacting to it. It hits that spot in my heart for my mom. RIP moms we've lost.❤

This song/album really displays NFs' growth. I'm here for it. We all should strive to elevate ourselves, and NF is doing that.
"I'll edit this to make us look cool." Hahaha!! 😄
Kinda glad the fun fact for the night was left off… NF and this song deserved the full emotion that we experienced with you two. Happy to be here with you guys!

Don’t worry I’ll edit this to make us look cool 🤣🤣 love you two. Glad I found your channel a month ago.
Been watching you for about a year now. Found you through the search reaction. I appreciate you, best reaction channel out there.
By far the earliest I’ve ever been lol
This was the best reaction to this song. It’s so uplifting to see other people outgrow their own emotional traumas.

Nate can't have that and I think that's what hurts but even so this song makes me feel like these words is his way of hugging his mom after a long fight
Why must he always make me cry
This song is so beautiful and is so awesome to hear coming from him
😭 sobbing. There is nobody that comes close to NF and his art to bring everyone with him on his healing journey with his entire heart and soul layed out album after album song after song. I truly believe he is and will save lives generation after generation. Thank you NF for helping me with my traumas.
Ditto
I'm So Happy For Him He Has Gone Through So Much And I Love That He Is Changing And Evolving Right Infront Our Eyes
love your guy's love for Nf and how you can relate a whole lot of stuff he talks about
My dad passed January 22nd of 22’ and I didn’t have the best relationship with him but I relate to the lyrics so much. Especially the “I can’t hold this unforgiveness in my heart no more”
No matter how many times I listen to this song I cry every time. The emotion is so raw it just pulls everything inside you.
this song absolutely broke me when i first listened to it
I cry everytime I hear this song
I just love him. This one touched so close, the words resonate so close to my real life and my mom. ❤❤
GREAT REACTION YET AGAIN R.R. BRAVO !!!!!!!!!!!!!
I can't wait til you guys get to the last track it's so powerful and a major redemption song.
Copied this from a post I had seen, thought it was very interesting and true
I went back viewing NF discography and I realized Nate just completed the 5 stages of grief with the release of HOPE. Stay with me, this is amazing😊
The 5 stages of grief:
》Denial - (I don't believe they are really gone)
In Mansion, Nate talks about him not addressing things but instead covering them up like they never happen. He starts talking about his mom and then goes on to say "I should just stop now, we ain't got enough room in this song".
》Anger - (I'm so angry that they are gone)
Therapy Session is full of rage. NF pulled out his anger on that album. In HOW COULD YOU LEAVE US he expresses his anger for his mom leaving them.
》Bargaining - (I promise I'll change if they come back)
On Perception, we see a slightly more positive NF in songs like Remember This, Green lights, One hundred... implying some form of change yet still holding back to the past.
》Depression - (I feel hopeless about my future without them)
The Search gave us probably the most broken and vulnerable NF. In the interlude, Nate said he had reached every goal he every dreamed of but it was that moment when he felt the most depressed.
》Acceptance - (I can go on with my life and deal with their absence)
On Hope, NF finally accepts his loss and forgive his mom. We see the most self confident version of NF so far. He finally let go his past and embrace a better version of himself in HOPE.
What do you guys think?

Please understand this is NOT a happy track. It’s a beautiful track that NF deserves an award. Truly outstanding ❤
I love your reactions! My 3 faves are nf I prevail and falling in reverse and you guys react to all of them! Thank you!
The first time I heard this song, there was tears in my eyes before the second line started. This song makes me so happy, and makes my heart SO full. It still hits really hard, but I am so freaking proud of him and I am thrilled to see his growth. I can't express how emotional this song made me from missing one of my own family members, from seeing him mature and grow.. there's just a lot of emotions here.
NF truly has a heart of gold and I can truly see God working on him and through him. I actually didn't know about the NF journey til I started watching you guys. It's been absolutely amazing to go through it and experience it with yall knowing the connections and relatedness of it all. Happy to continue this journey with yall. God bless!
This is such a good song that hits hard in such a good way, it reminds me of Rearview Memories by To Speak of Wolves, ya’ll need to check that one out.
Thank you so much 🙏! NF is just phenomenal 👍👍👍! Love💓
This song is so beautiful and it makes me so happy for him but the amount of emotion this brings out in me listening to it is crazy. He has such a succint way of bringing everything together and telling a story simply that brings you in and it's amazing. 😊
Hey boys, hiya Mama. Great follow up to How could you leave us, huh??
Hey Peggy! 🤗👋💜
I couldn’t sing a word at the concert. His home videos playing behind him, especially after losing my mom. Watching him be so vulnerable. I bawled the whole time. He started it off sitting down with his head down. I still cry. Crying now.
I was at his most recent live show (in Auckland, New Zealand) and he broke down on stage at the end of this song and had to sit down to regather himself for a moment. You can tell how much this song still truly means to him as a human being.
I just wanted to say you brothers give the best NF reactions. I've followed ur entire journey. I lost my mom in a similar situation in 96 and this song has helped me with my healing process. Healing is a process and I'm so proud of Nate. Beautiful song. I'm so glad he's topping all the charts with this album.
The growth of NF is unreal from "How could you leave us"
To "MAMA" its fantastic growth im so proud of you NF❤❤
❤❤ love you guys this song hits hard and close to home 😢
A reactor said that these are tracks coming from a grown man and I heartily agree. I love that he's able to give us an album that shows us how Hope is impacting his life and I'm so here for it. NF is truly a man that deserves all the flowers and respect. 🔥🔥🔥🔥🌹🌹🌹🌹
I don't think it was necessarily sad, but it was definitely emotional.
I went to the tour opener in Columbus and this song hit just as hard as the first time I heard it. The point that hit the hardest though was that Nate actually started breaking down and couldn’t get through the final couple words of the song. One of the things I love so much about Nate is how he’s not afraid to be Vulnerable and everyone knows exactly how some of his own songs effect him. They are that deep
It's a beautiful place to be when we realize our parents are human and life was beating them down while they tried to raise us, given everything my mom went through in her life, her kids turned out damn good.
I'm not crying you're crying. great reaction as always
Damn guys, don't know if you ever read comments to old videos, but your comments are just so on spot. I'll just say that I'm happy I found you. Both Eric with his sincere emotions, and Kyle with hist one hundred percent openness - you guys just rock. Thank You sincerely for your honesty.
Just found this channel, and hearing that Kyle's mum listens to NF and they talk about it is really wholesome
My heart strings 😢. Lost my mother when I was young and always wonder these same things. If I could hear from her one more time.
When NF said u won’t be around too see my kids and I hate the way I remember u hits home so hard
It’s so beautiful to hear that he’s let go of the pain and anger he had for his mom leaving them, and choosing pills over them. He now feels for her, sees how her pain was and her past, and she just didn’t get to have happiness that she now gets to have in heaven.
NF = GOAT
