To those who have followed Nate through all his albums and have felt the pain he has experienced in his life and has released in music form, this song is INCREDIBLE.
He has his own child now, a son, so I think he is willing to start letting go of his anger and negativity in order to protect his boy from the issues and defense mechanisms that he developed due to what he experienced as a youngster.
Fr lol i was at my chiropractors office getting a message and at the beginning of the message the wifi cut off so she asked if i had any type of music i would like to listen to and for the whole hour it was only NF lol. I told her its a bit depressing type of music but it keeps me at bay and it is peaceful to me and she said ok and put it on lol
Here is a list of songs from NF that will apply to your work. Paralyzed Mansion Therapy session Interlude/hate my self(2 different tracks, but do them together Mistake My stress Happy The search/leave me alone(do these as a duo or back to back. They connect. Loved the reaction.
❤ this is my favourite from the album. Can't wait to see him soon when he comes to Scotland 💙 I love how he started this album with Hope and ended it saying goodbye to his old self with this song 👌💕
NF has become a voice for entire groups, ages, etc.. He can speak the words that many people couldn't put into proper wording. Thanks for your breakdown.
NF is AMAZING & so RELATABLE. For me, i hear this double layered voice it sounds a bit rough, thats the dark NF. He's DONE, and he's telling that part of him off. Just AMAZING. Who could not LOVE this man. A true ARTIST. i can't wait to see him live. Hope Tour!!
First of all, this is my favorite song on the new NF album. Quality choice for you to dissect. And second, of those nine saboteurs, I can already self identify five of those. Without question I’m looking into that book. Thank you for sharing all that. You might’ve just kicked me off in a really needed and helpful direction.
I am shocked that after doing some reactions to NF songs that she hasn’t done ‘How Could You Leave Us’. I feel like that would’ve been one of her first 3 reactions of his songs before the others. But definitely should do that one 🙏🩵🤍 Please.
I know people get goosebumps from music but sometimes while driving or just sitting hearing a song I love with intense music or lyrics I will get a tingle in my head! The back of my head the top of my spine ? Will tingle! Then the goosebumps…is that normal!?
Nate dug really deep into his problems to identify them and fight with them head on, from my perspective, I feel like that's very hard for a lot of people to even begin to fathom. I think his album "The Search" was a big proponent of this, you should def check out stuff on that album.
You do know that a narc is a trapped inside their mind victim stuck in survival mode and control through manipulation due to the predatory nature of the lower egotistical mind taking control from the nuetral concioussness of The actual narcs personality being hijacked and stuck in brokenness that caused selfish vampirism and lack of empathy to be able to protect themselves by emotionally detaching and only caring about themselves being ok and happy. A narc is a bigger victim than any empath or person they hurt. A child can eventually grow up and get away. An empath can leave and heal into a super empath. That learned emotional resiliency from the narcs hurting them. But the narc is stuck unable to fix itself without help. Don't hate narcs. Hate what controls them like slaves. Their too afraid to do the inner work needed to fix the trauma that caused all there soul shattering behavior. A narc. Is like a destroyed and defeated empath. On the hunt for fresh empaths to prey on Like a dying parasite who lost his emotional intelligence and ability to care what another goes through beyond how it effected the self of the self centered lower ego and its inability to look beyond self gain avoidance of hurt.
Of course. But if you continue to see them as victims, you inevitably continue enabling their toxic, manipulative, and even evil behavior. Enabling them makes it so you become trapped in their hell with them. No matter how much you love them or how much you feel for them, you are better off leaving them behind and choosing a different path while wishing them the best. You can't help someone who is unwilling, even unable as you mentioned, to help themselves. If you, as the sane one, can get out, it eventually doesn't matter to you that they aren't able to leave that place. I got out. 4 years now, I am free. When I think about how far I came since leaving, I feel like I won the lottery. I am oh so thankful that I was selfish for once in my life and put me first. I am the only one who can make life good for me. I deserve it. :) "I love you to death, but I can no longer stand aside and watch you sabotage the both of us." That line, I feel it to my core.
I agree 100%! (With the OP comment, not the person under them. I dont agree with almost all of that about narcissistic people but I will agree they still suffer in their own way. My father-in-law is MAJORLY narcissistic and has been diagnosed as such.) This and the song "Happy" because my wife and I were kicked out of my home next to them (owned by them) by my stepfather, and my mother plays the victim like she has no say in it. It's because I transitioned. This guy's experiences can go along with so many things, but it makes it better for me knowing I'm not alone and that others are experiencing some of the same things, especially crippling anxiety. Thankfully, my in-laws took my wife and I in until our house is finished being built. I can't thank them enough!❤
I know your primary field is neurology, not neuropsychiatrist which I only see roughly every 1-2 months so my app is bit out there; I love some of the medical explanations you give about why some of these emotions work and form from a Neuro perspective. I have obsessive compulsive personality disorder as well as borderline personality disorder: can you give me a short understanding of what drives these subconscious PD, particularly BPD if you're choose only 1 of the 2, especially about the self-sabotaging mechanisms used so often in BPD. Otherwise, do you have any good readings on neurology and personality disorders or something similar? Unfortunately, I'm disabled so I can't go into epileptology like I wanted due to my own epilepsy but would still LOVE some readings/book suggestions that possibly cover neurology and PD that's a bit easier to read for people who aren't doctors.
I find it so interesting how so many people can listen to Nates music but not know his story and after a quick analysis understand his songs and their meaning quite so quickly
i saw NF live recently and i cried a couple of times, but this song absolutely broke me. I feel so connected to this song in particular. I have never ever felt so many emotions in 3 minutes then this song. Its incredible
I've listened to this song a lot. i really enjoy your analysis. You offer great thoughts without interrupting the music too much. It's a song that definitely reflects how hard it is to change even when we want to. I think we can all relate.
This was great! I think Nate having a son speaks a lot to the change in him! I would love to see you react to his songs “Intro II” and “Intro III” also “Remember This”
Nate being able to pick apart his problems and being willing to share them and put them into a song is just incredible much love to him he brought people like me through our downfall
It's hard for me to cry or feel any real emotion. So when I feel like I need to let out some sadness or tears, I grab a few beers and watch one of your videos, because other people's sadness and tears, mixed with the sad music i love, are just about the only thing that can trigger my own. Thanks for the videos and explaining why we are the way we are.
My feelings are so divided with being proud to call myself a combat veteran and also feeling shame of holding that very title... This song hits very close to home for me...
Thanks for continuing to check out NF. He puts out great stuff and I always enjoy getting your perspective. It's literally free advice to help figure out what's going on in my brain. Thanks!
Awesome to hear NF songs and getting to know more behind the thought of his feelings and the things he is trying to express, thanks a lot for the videos ☺️
New subscriber to your channel. Been a big NF fan because his music is so relatable to me, so to hear your reactions to his music has been so great. Very educational and therapeutic for me. Thank you for doing these 🙏🏻
Your reaction actually helped me understand myself way better. Cause I’ve been trying to figure myself out and figure out why I have such bad habits and just can’t pull myself out of a bad mentality
Dude, you have the potential here to change millions of lives on here. You’re so relatable and easy to understand. And there’s not enough good content on line.
Saw this song live in August. I was bawling my eyes out singing along. It was the most healing experience of my life. Gonna try to catch another one of his concerts again in June to hear this again live.
I absolutely love this song, it's my favorite from the album. Great reaction and thank you for the recommendation, running to check out Positive intelligence asap.
Man the stuff you spoke about really resignated with me. Especially about the sabatours, and the judge. Really been trying to change the way I think. This is a great way to look at this.
Thank you for reacting to this! Incredible reaction as always. I love this song so much, when I was first listening to it and realized he was talking to himself I cried a lot, and a lot of things resonated with me. Your analysis and the knowledge you've shared have made the song even deeper for me and made me realize that these issues are about much more deeply ingrained patterns and that identifying and changing them is a more complex process.
💥💥💯💯Reaction, NFrealmusic💯, wow, thanks for sharing so much, listening to you explain the information you did, has really helped me believe that it's not too late for me to get the help that I've never thought could be possible.
Thank you Doctor. I have always said one day there will be a class at a University that incorporates NF for the whole semester. It could be in Art, Philosophy, or Psychology, but I imagine it will be someone like you who ends up doing it. I am going to check the Positive Intelligence program. It sounds like a practical approach to Neural Linguistic Programming.
I'm so glad you reacted to this song. I had an intense gaming addiction during the entirety of high school, which I only realised after the hurt had been dealt (socially underdeveloped, purposelessness,..). Gotta let go of the things that sabotage our life.
@_Maryc, I feel you, particularly by the time when he released this album, I was under a very rough time, I still struggle though I’m not gonna lie, you are and will be always worthy, I know this is coming from a stranger on the internet, but don’t let others set your value. About NF, the song “Happy” and “Wake up” helped me through my deep depression and still does through this day. Take care, just remember that you are worth it and we owe it to ourselves to at least give it a little try
@@polluxtroy2010 Thank you so much for the kind reply and advice . I greatly appreciate it! Yes his albums help me so much . NF truly is an inspiration for me and so many others . You take care as well and again thank you for the kind words.
Thank you a lot for these analyses that you do, particularly this time, it really resonated with me when you introduced the concept of Positive Intelligence (PQ) , I’ve struggling with saboteurs and deep depression from a time now after some hardships and events in my life, NF songs has helped me a lot, but your videos are that complement that helps to make an attempt to be better and improve my mental health, I truly applaud the effort to put up this videos, thanks a lot!
If you want a group to branch out into I would recommend Citizen Soldier. Some song recommendations from them are 1. This is your sign 2. You are not your past 3, Irreplaceable 4. This is not a phase 5. Would anyone care 6. Im not okay 7. Bedroom ceiling There are many more but you can discover those yourself if you find that you like the band.
Also think they are hard for him to let go because these feelings gave him these songs and helped him achieve his dreams. He mentions it in a song called I miss the days.
I believe he is referencing his OCD. He speaks to the voices in his head often. Watch the hope music video. He’s tired of running from his intrusive thoughts. Instead of fighting them and running from them he’s ready to let them go. I relate so much to him as I also struggle with some of the same he sings about. When this song came out I cried like a baby.
Growing up being told you’re worthless and being treated like you’re worthless from your own loved ones takes a toll and leaves a deep ingrain when you’re growing up. I’m guilty of being a people pleaser and sabotaging good relationships or moments due to not feeling like I’m not deserving of the relationship/situation. And people not realizing or understanding that you’re not doing it on purpose and that it’s coming naturally without me realizing what I did until it’s already done just hurts so much. Going through so much pain I would never dare to put someone through pain because I know what it can do to a person and when I’m the one to put someone through pain unintentionally it’s just pains me so much knowing I didn’t mean to and that no matter what I do or say the other person won’t understand where I’m coming from with the trust broke and the damage already done.
I think you would LOVE Sleep Token, one of the most lyrically and musically gifted groups I have ever listened to. Don't be dissuade by their appearance, given your field I think you'd really enjoy Are You Really Okay? and Atlantic. Also MGK has written a couple beautifully deep songs that I'd love to see your take on, In These Walls and Glass House. Thanks so much for the video as always!
This is irrelevant to NF being the subject of this video, however, I was wondering if you appreciate and enjoy watching documentaries? If so, I would love to recommend "Samadhi", it's a 3 part documentary series. Part 1: Maya, The Illusion of Self, Part 2: It's Not What You Think, and Part 3: The Pathless Path. ☺✨
I really appreciate your perspective on NF's music. I think you would love "Let Me Go" which has similar themes to this one, but comes earlier in his process / growth. One of my favorite moments in the song has to do with changing your perception. 🙂
I think you would enjoy Scatman John (John Larkin)'s song , Scatman (ski-ba-bop-ba-dop-bop). It's from the 90s, and in it, there are sung parts which are scat and rapped parts in which he discusses his severe stuttering and encourages listeners to find ways to address whatever challenges they have. I cannot say there is the psychological insight that NF brings to his audience, apart from the fact that when performing to music, he can sing and rap without stuttering. However, it is a lot of fun and he demonstrates his point about stuttering very well.
Up to before and after 5:28 those were huge positives for so much negative. We don't all have that and I feel like I speak for so many here. We love your analysis but we didn't find something to save ourselves with a positive that was something we could find success in because survival was our success. It hurts but we are here.
I look at it as a sequel to his "Intro 3" where he's having a conversation with his fear. Listen to the songs Mansion, Intro 3 amd then this amd its like one big picture of overcoming fear. There's alot more songs you could apply in but these 3 specific fit incredibly well as a parts 1, 2 and 3.
What helped him start moving forward ? He says in Hope song that it was having a child, and love for him, that helped him step outside his usual behavior and outlook. So guess that's what helped him start process of moving forward, then next steps got easier once he saw positive changes and 'hope'.
Okay this is absolutely my favorite reaction you have done thanks for insight on the internal sabatours and the judge. I really am into neurology I wanted to be a neurologist when I was in grade school which definitely is an odd profession for someone so young to focus on😆 but anyways thanks for your awesome videos I really enjoy your insites on the songs
I am speechless right now. I had a really rough time the last couple of weeks and almost broke up with my Girlfriend who ive been with for over 20 years and who is also the mother of my 2 chlidren. I had to take a lot of shit when i was a kid (my mom was an alcoholic, my father was very aggressive) and i started getting panic attacks, anxiety about 14 years ago. I struggled a lot but also learned a lot with therapy BUT when all this shit went down few weeks ago my therapist confronted me in the toughest way and told me that I AM the Problem right now an I AM the Reason my Relationship is falling apart. Now age 37 i realized few weeks ago that my whole life i tried to cope my feeling of beeing worthless with love and care of other people, especially my girlfriend. I demanded so much love over the years, it was never enough for me, i always thought i am right and i dont get enough love and she is as cold as ice just to realize it was me...the whole fcking time...for a few days, i broke down, completely. My body/mind tried to tell me that it isnt right that i am the problem. I always had the thought of "yeah but that is not ok either, its not only me that is the problem". I literally could feel my head trying to defend my actions that i did my whole life. I cried a lot, i was a mess. I had thoughts of sui.cide, i literally googled how to make know for a rope to hang myself. My therapist told me to hold on, to be strong, i was and i am still so fucked inside. It hurts in a way i never felt. The Moment you realize that your whole existence is build on such a shit behaviour is just devastating. Its been a few weeks since this all happened, im still struggling but i started working out again, riding bycicle again. I avoided a lot of stress situations over the years to not force my anxiety to get me into panic attacks. Since this all happened i threw myself in every Situation which i avoided for the last 10-15 years and i have to say im getting better. This is going to be a long ass journey but im not going down as that man that i was the last 30+ years who had to build his self confidence of off other people. I know that i am a good guy, i always try to do things better, talk to people, show my emotions and feelings, raise my kids with awareness and respect and love. Its not always working because its everything i did not get when i was a child but im trying my hardest to better then i was and what i had to go through. Well this story is way to long and i could write a book about my life but all i wanted to tell actually was, that i literally was mind blown when u talked about everything that just happened to me over the last few weeks around the 4 to 6 minute mark. Its such a relief when someone that has the knowledge talks about stuff like that because thats what makes me think that im not sick in my head and i didnt have a chance as a child. I had to take everything i took in my childhood, i didnt have a choice, no one asked me if i want to be this way or if i want to be raised this way. It just happened and god im trying my best to not be like that but its so hard and sometimes i wish i could be like 95% of human population and just shit on everything and think that all the wrong stuff in you is actually right. But i guess thats not what i was made for even though my life would be 1000 times easier. Nevermind, thanks for your thoughts! That was really helpfull to hear and it actually helped me and gave me strength. Sorry for my bad english, iits not my first language.
I have been waiting to hear someone else’s thoughts on it. I have been a huge fan of NF for 10 years. First seen him at a Christian music festival. I thought this song is talking about his flesh vs spirit
Does anybody else cry and get goosebumps at the same time listening to NF?
I guess so
Yep. Seeing him in a few weeks. Will be taking some tissues. He turns me to a snotty mess 😢❤
everytime
All the time. Simultaneously feeling hopeful and hopeless,love and pain, happy tears and sad tears....all the time.
@miller441mm it was such an incredible show, I told my girlfriend I was gonna cry and she just said let it out..... it was beautiful!
To those who have followed Nate through all his albums and have felt the pain he has experienced in his life and has released in music form, this song is INCREDIBLE.
Suffering is useful for spiritual alchemy. Cracking of the yolk so to speak.
He has his own child now, a son, so I think he is willing to start letting go of his anger and negativity in order to protect his boy from the issues and defense mechanisms that he developed due to what he experienced as a youngster.
His songs are so therapeutic 🙂🔥
Fr lol i was at my chiropractors office getting a message and at the beginning of the message the wifi cut off so she asked if i had any type of music i would like to listen to and for the whole hour it was only NF lol. I told her its a bit depressing type of music but it keeps me at bay and it is peaceful to me and she said ok and put it on lol
nf manages to sing about the things we feel but cannot say. i appreciate him so much and i hope he knows he is saving lifes
He does. I hope you've listened through The Journey. It can really help you identify and express. Plus the man does NOT miss
@@Iamandymccabe42 he does not miss, 100%!! dude's amazing and his journey is just mind-blowing.
Yep!
So does dax. In pain paints paintings
On point
This track is incredibly powerful live. If you ever have a chance to see it live I promise you will not be disappointed.
I’m prepared to start bawling when I see him live
I'm going to see him in Auckland in February. I'm bringing so many tissues haha
I'd love to see this song live
@@gum3602trust me you’re gonna need them. I saw him a few months ago and it was beyond words.
Here is a list of songs from NF that will apply to your work.
Paralyzed
Mansion
Therapy session
Interlude/hate my self(2 different tracks, but do them together
Mistake
My stress
Happy
The search/leave me alone(do these as a duo or back to back. They connect. Loved the reaction.
What about how could you leave us and Mama?
❤ this is my favourite from the album. Can't wait to see him soon when he comes to Scotland 💙
I love how he started this album with Hope and ended it saying goodbye to his old self with this song 👌💕
I'm going to Manchester to see him and I'm soooooo excited 😊 this song will 1000000% make me cry 😢 😭
NF has become a voice for entire groups, ages, etc.. He can speak the words that many people couldn't put into proper wording. Thanks for your breakdown.
Love this song & At the concert he said this was his favorite off this album
NF is AMAZING & so RELATABLE. For me, i hear this double layered voice it sounds a bit rough, thats the dark NF. He's DONE, and he's telling that part of him off. Just AMAZING.
Who could not LOVE this man. A true ARTIST. i can't wait to see him live. Hope Tour!!

Love your NF reactions! Thank you for you thoughts and perspectives!
I’ve heard this song so many times already but it still makes me tear up. He’s too relatable
This can apply so well to a relationship with a narcissistic parent. When you finally decide to go no contact. It really fits.
You do know that a narc is a trapped inside their mind victim stuck in survival mode and control through manipulation due to the predatory nature of the lower egotistical mind taking control from the nuetral concioussness of
The actual narcs personality being hijacked and stuck in brokenness that caused selfish vampirism and lack of empathy to be able to protect themselves by emotionally detaching and only caring about themselves being ok and happy.

Awesome to hear NF songs and getting to know more behind the thought of his feelings and the things he is trying to express, thanks a lot for the videos ☺️
I'm so grateful i found someone interested in neurosciences and music, like me. I really love coming back to this channel.
Keep up the good work!
New subscriber to your channel. Been a big NF fan because his music is so relatable to me, so to hear your reactions to his music has been so great. Very educational and therapeutic for me. Thank you for doing these 🙏🏻
I love watching reactions like this. There's so much insight about life. Thank you!
You gotta do NF’s, How could you leave us… would love to see your reaction to that one.
I second this, this is a MUST!
Your reaction actually helped me understand myself way better. Cause I’ve been trying to figure myself out and figure out why I have such bad habits and just can’t pull myself out of a bad mentality
I love your music reactions the best especially Ren and NF who happen to be my two favorite artists!!!
Dude, you have the potential here to change millions of lives on here. You’re so relatable and easy to understand. And there’s not enough good content on line.
Thank you for choosing this song and artist. I've been in a work cave and your review brings light to the shadows. Thank you. Steve
Saw this song live in August. I was bawling my eyes out singing along. It was the most healing experience of my life. Gonna try to catch another one of his concerts again in June to hear this again live.

Your insight hit me like brick wall. Really appreciate this reaction. Thanks
Going through your NF reactions months later. Really enjoy it! And all the vids have the same number of likes, kinda cool
Thank you Doctor. I have always said one day there will be a class at a University that incorporates NF for the whole semester. It could be in Art, Philosophy, or Psychology, but I imagine it will be someone like you who ends up doing it. I am going to check the Positive Intelligence program. It sounds like a practical approach to Neural Linguistic Programming.
My new favorite channel to explore and learn, thank you for what you do, and your help understanding our inner demons
Would love to see, “how could you leave us.” You can’t miss that one!! A lot of those hardships are showcased in this masterpiece.
I'm so glad you reacted to this song. I had an intense gaming addiction during the entirety of high school, which I only realised after the hurt had been dealt (socially underdeveloped, purposelessness,..). Gotta let go of the things that sabotage our life.
His songs have helped me so much I don’t think I would still be here if It was not for him . I hope one day I can say I feel worthy
@_Maryc, I feel you, particularly by the time when he released this album, I was under a very rough time, I still struggle though I’m not gonna lie, you are and will be always worthy, I know this is coming from a stranger on the internet, but don’t let others set your value.
About NF, the song “Happy” and “Wake up” helped me through my deep depression and still does through this day.
Take care, just remember that you are worth it and we owe it to ourselves to at least give it a little try
@@polluxtroy2010 Thank you so much for the kind reply and advice . I greatly appreciate it! Yes his albums help me so much . NF truly is an inspiration for me and so many others . You take care as well and again thank you for the kind words.
@@MaryKath-h will do!, and so do you, take good care of yourself!. About NF, I still have in my list to attend one of his concerts someday ☺️
@@polluxtroy2010 I hope you do get to go to one it’s certainly on my list !
Thank you a lot for these analyses that you do, particularly this time, it really resonated with me when you introduced the concept of Positive Intelligence (PQ) , I’ve struggling with saboteurs and deep depression from a time now after some hardships and events in my life, NF songs has helped me a lot, but your videos are that complement that helps to make an attempt to be better and improve my mental health, I truly applaud the effort to put up this videos, thanks a lot!
Love the reaction, love NF. So happy I got tickets for his hope tour. Subscribed!
If you know NF you know he’s talking to Fear… great reaction video!
Yesss! I recommended this! Exactly he's talking to himself as "Fear". He refers to in Mansion "Fear came to my house years ago".
Thanks for another excellent NF reaction and education.
Best NF song for mental health which describes it for me is Paralyzed. How i felt when i was suffering.
this video was really really educational and helpful for me. Thank you!
Goosebumps everytime.. ❤
@NeurogalMD you should try Hopsin - Alone with me
NF you have definitely come a long way running and now I seem to relate to what we should no longer run away from...
I really enjoyed ur take. I look forward to checking out more of your videos ❤
I watched in anticipation for the moment you realized he was talking to his old self.
NF and Twenty one pilots are a full plate for psychological themes
You are spot on in your assessment of what this song is about. God bless you.
This entire album is the most phenomenal music I've ever heard when it comes to emotion ❤ hits right at home
If you want a group to branch out into I would recommend Citizen Soldier.
Some song recommendations from them are
1. This is your sign
2. You are not your past
3, Irreplaceable
4. This is not a phase
5. Would anyone care
6. Im not okay
7. Bedroom ceiling
There are many more but you can discover those yourself if you find that you like the band.
Also think they are hard for him to let go because these feelings gave him these songs and helped him achieve his dreams. He mentions it in a song called I miss the days.
Omg you did running!!!! This one hits different!
That’s is one of my favorite songs, very deep.
before even watching this I'm happy you've made this one. Running is a great song and powerful for sure ❤
just perfect... do more NF please
I believe he is referencing his OCD. He speaks to the voices in his head often. Watch the hope music video. He’s tired of running from his intrusive thoughts. Instead of fighting them and running from them he’s ready to let them go. I relate so much to him as I also struggle with some of the same he sings about. When this song came out I cried like a baby.
If you exclude his mixed tape, NF's 5 albums represent the five stages of grief.
Love the NF videos from you! Really makes me understand the lyrics ❤
Always love your analysis and reaction thank you for sharing 🙂
I've been to his tour, I absolutely love all of his songs, but this one, this one is a special one. I don't know how to explain it
I love this song, this was a great reaction to it! If you want to branch out I would love to see your reaction to Dax-The Abyss.
🙏 thank you
Great and powerful song
Growing up being told you’re worthless and being treated like you’re worthless from your own loved ones takes a toll and leaves a deep ingrain when you’re growing up. I’m guilty of being a people pleaser and sabotaging good relationships or moments due to not feeling like I’m not deserving of the relationship/situation. And people not realizing or understanding that you’re not doing it on purpose and that it’s coming naturally without me realizing what I did until it’s already done just hurts so much. Going through so much pain I would never dare to put someone through pain because I know what it can do to a person and when I’m the one to put someone through pain unintentionally it’s just pains me so much knowing I didn’t mean to and that no matter what I do or say the other person won’t understand where I’m coming from with the trust broke and the damage already done.
I think you would LOVE Sleep Token, one of the most lyrically and musically gifted groups I have ever listened to. Don't be dissuade by their appearance, given your field I think you'd really enjoy Are You Really Okay? and Atlantic. Also MGK has written a couple beautifully deep songs that I'd love to see your take on, In These Walls and Glass House.
Thanks so much for the video as always!
This is irrelevant to NF being the subject of this video, however, I was wondering if you appreciate and enjoy watching documentaries? If so, I would love to recommend "Samadhi", it's a 3 part documentary series. Part 1: Maya, The Illusion of Self, Part 2: It's Not What You Think, and Part 3: The Pathless Path. ☺✨
I really appreciate your perspective on NF's music. I think you would love "Let Me Go" which has similar themes to this one, but comes earlier in his process / growth. One of my favorite moments in the song has to do with changing your perception. 🙂
I love this song because I can relate to most of it
I think you would enjoy Scatman John (John Larkin)'s song , Scatman (ski-ba-bop-ba-dop-bop). It's from the 90s, and in it, there are sung parts which are scat and rapped parts in which he discusses his severe stuttering and encourages listeners to find ways to address whatever challenges they have. I cannot say there is the psychological insight that NF brings to his audience, apart from the fact that when performing to music, he can sing and rap without stuttering. However, it is a lot of fun and he demonstrates his point about stuttering very well.
I think that part of himself as you depicted it is what he calls ''hope'' and that is whom he talks to and about. :)
Up to before and after 5:28 those were huge positives for so much negative. We don't all have that and I feel like I speak for so many here. We love your analysis but we didn't find something to save ourselves with a positive that was something we could find success in because survival was our success. It hurts but we are here.
There is 2 oldies by NF you should eventually listen to! Therapy Session, and How could you leave us.
Please do a neurological run down on Mistake by Nf, that song literally got to me so much, the authenticity though
Yesss new video NF
I look at it as a sequel to his "Intro 3" where he's having a conversation with his fear.
Listen to the songs Mansion, Intro 3 amd then this amd its like one big picture of overcoming fear.
There's alot more songs you could apply in but these 3 specific fit incredibly well as a parts 1, 2 and 3.
What helped him start moving forward ? He says in Hope song that it was having a child, and love for him, that helped him step outside his usual behavior and outlook. So guess that's what helped him start process of moving forward, then next steps got easier once he saw positive changes and 'hope'.
My therapist has started sharing some of this for me lately. Changing the narrative in my head.😊
interesting with that Positive Intelligence thing. I'll definetly take their test after your video. thank you!
Okay this is absolutely my favorite reaction you have done thanks for insight on the internal sabatours and the judge. I really am into neurology I wanted to be a neurologist when I was in grade school which definitely is an odd profession for someone so young to focus on😆 but anyways thanks for your awesome videos I really enjoy your insites on the songs
I am speechless right now. I had a really rough time the last couple of weeks and almost broke up with my Girlfriend who ive been with for over 20 years and who is also the mother of my 2 chlidren. I had to take a lot of shit when i was a kid (my mom was an alcoholic, my father was very aggressive) and i started getting panic attacks, anxiety about 14 years ago. I struggled a lot but also learned a lot with therapy BUT when all this shit went down few weeks ago my therapist confronted me in the toughest way and told me that I AM the Problem right now an I AM the Reason my Relationship is falling apart. Now age 37 i realized few weeks ago that my whole life i tried to cope my feeling of beeing worthless with love and care of other people, especially my girlfriend. I demanded so much love over the years, it was never enough for me, i always thought i am right and i dont get enough love and she is as cold as ice just to realize it was me...the whole fcking time...for a few days, i broke down, completely. My body/mind tried to tell me that it isnt right that i am the problem. I always had the thought of "yeah but that is not ok either, its not only me that is the problem". I literally could feel my head trying to defend my actions that i did my whole life. I cried a lot, i was a mess. I had thoughts of sui.cide, i literally googled how to make know for a rope to hang myself. My therapist told me to hold on, to be strong, i was and i am still so fucked inside. It hurts in a way i never felt. The Moment you realize that your whole existence is build on such a shit behaviour is just devastating.
Its been a few weeks since this all happened, im still struggling but i started working out again, riding bycicle again. I avoided a lot of stress situations over the years to not force my anxiety to get me into panic attacks. Since this all happened i threw myself in every Situation which i avoided for the last 10-15 years and i have to say im getting better. This is going to be a long ass journey but im not going down as that man that i was the last 30+ years who had to build his self confidence of off other people. I know that i am a good guy, i always try to do things better, talk to people, show my emotions and feelings, raise my kids with awareness and respect and love. Its not always working because its everything i did not get when i was a child but im trying my hardest to better then i was and what i had to go through.
Well this story is way to long and i could write a book about my life but all i wanted to tell actually was, that i literally was mind blown when u talked about everything that just happened to me over the last few weeks around the 4 to 6 minute mark. Its such a relief when someone that has the knowledge talks about stuff like that because thats what makes me think that im not sick in my head and i didnt have a chance as a child. I had to take everything i took in my childhood, i didnt have a choice, no one asked me if i want to be this way or if i want to be raised this way. It just happened and god im trying my best to not be like that but its so hard and sometimes i wish i could be like 95% of human population and just shit on everything and think that all the wrong stuff in you is actually right. But i guess thats not what i was made for even though my life would be 1000 times easier.
Nevermind, thanks for your thoughts! That was really helpfull to hear and it actually helped me and gave me strength.
Sorry for my bad english, iits not my first language.
Yup he's talking to himself. Also if you do the full NF journey, he tells you what's going on and you see his growth
Great reaction as always. Please do Ren "For Joe" it's live on piano. Unbelievably heartfelt.
I’d love to hear you react to NFs “How could you leave us”, and then “Mama”. I’d be very interested in hearing your thoughts about it!
I have been waiting to hear someone else’s thoughts on it. I have been a huge fan of NF for 10 years. First seen him at a Christian music festival. I thought this song is talking about his flesh vs spirit
