This isn’t a FNAF song, this is a song about Nate’s perspective on FNAF. It’s kinda sad to hear this is how he’s felt all this time. But no, we won’t leave you behind.
Would def make sense if thats the case! Obsolete is another song that explained his feelings on fnaf as well! so this song explaining Nate's feelings on FNAF makes SO much sense
Someone in the comments confirmed it, but this being a song about your feelings on the series, rather than about the series itself makes this one special. You've been here for me through your music, so I can at least repay the favor and listen to your new stuff
"Another melody of somebody's story, I'll finally admit I don't care" "Ready to wake up from this nightmare" "If I say what's on my mind will they all leave me behind" "So many years I thought it was ending" "So I gotta reach out and write an ending, an ending for myself" Both rap parts and chorus's as well, specifically "Wanna know the day I knew nobody pray for me? The day somebody told me your legacy" That line hits the hardest imo. This is the ultimate goodbye FNaF (and other fandoms) song. On the first listen I was catching all the references, on the second and third I started actually listening to the lyrics without connecting it to the past songs and man, it's rough. I personally love the original stuff, the fact that we only have 2 albums of purely original music (aside from 'Heroes Never Die', that's basically an Overwatch song) in the 10 years you've been doing music is crazy to me. I miss the fancy music videos and lyrics that didn't involve games or shows/anime. I look forward to the future where we (hopefully) get more of that stuff. Also one more thing to note that I find interesting, nearly 7 years ago, October 31st of 2015, 'The Finale' was released. Back when we all thought it was over, and here we are 8 years later with the series still ongoing.
"On the first listen I was catching all the references, on the second and third I started actually listening to the lyrics without connecting it to the past songs and man, it's rough." Same here. on first listen I was going in with the idea that "oh, this is a fnaf song, it's got to have some relation to fnaf lore." and then some lines half way through completely flipped how I saw it and pointed to the actually theme, and sure enough, on relisten it I got the meaning of the song. Genuinely I feel like this is a great song. not only as a song for fans of his past fnaf music, but just a great song based around the idea of gaining fame from doing the same thing over and over again. a great look into his head. which I think is really the point of art in the end. to get across an emotion or idea in an interesting way.
I actually got it the other way, I was catching the feels from the song and only got the mangled, "broken and alone", "but now I'm home" lines on my first listen, after that I got more of them
I absolutely love how personal this song is. One of the things I enjoy most about Nate's songs is how expressive they are, how much emotion is packed into each lyric and note, this being especially the case with his originals. This may be the end of an era, but that doesn't mean the next one won't be even better - and I honestly can't wait to see what's in store for us in the future.
We’ll never leave you behind. The music you’ve been able to give us will stick with us forever. Half my workout playlist is your originals and covers. Thank you for what you’ve made.
Holy shit. I was *not* expecting this one to be as obviously personal as it was. I've said this dozens of times before, and hundreds of us are saying it now, but I have *always* been here for your journey more than anything. Sandcastle Kingdoms and Paid in Exposure are two of the best albums I've ever heard, and that's because they're *you.* At least, I hope they are, because they really feel like they're coming from somewhere genuine. I've been waiting for you to take us back to that place for a damn good while. I cannot *wait* to see where you take us next, Nate, there isn't a chance in hell I won't be along for the ride.
AMAZING! I loved the callback to Salvaged and Home before the second chorus, and the chorus itself is poetic! Don’t get me wrong, it’s still a little sad to see these fandom songs go, but I’m so glad you’re giving them such an amazing finale, Nate. Keep doing what you do best; your music is amazing, I love it all so much. You’re a legend. Again, this has all been amazing, for all the years we’ve been blessed with your fandom music, and we will continue to be with your original music, just as much as these fandom songs after their end. Thank you for all the years of amazing and poetic music, and hopefully even more to come as time goes on. You and all the rest of Give Heart Records are legends, Nate. I wish you all the best for your careers and your futures.
I just love how Nate always makes callbacks to his older songs. The man truly is a legend and if I could I'd buy him lunch and chat. It takes a lot writing music
I won't lie, I'm gonna miss your FNAF songs. They're iconic to me. But it doesn't change that your talent goes far past making fandom songs. You have been and always will be my favorite artist Nate. Thanks for the amazing song, and can't wait to see what's next 👍
Lyrics: Maybe I could say it's the last time Or maybe I could say I'm scared Another melody of somebody's story I'll finally admit I don't care It's been years and I can feel the end is near 'Cause I'm burnt out and I'm mangled Ready to wake up from this nightmare Wake me up Before I close the book I always flip to the start I just tryna get a look Of why I'm sick of the art It all began with a spark The power, fame, dollars and chance took the charge Made me less than its parts I didn't want it this way I used to long for this day Yeah the money was great But sucked me into this phase And now the dream that I was chasing Seems to chain me in place 'Cause this game it just takes And it takes and it takes Will I rot away? If I said what's on my mind Will they all leave me behind? I thought I was safe Thought that I'd see brighter days Was I a shadow meant to fade all along? Did I lose my way from pretending? Another suit without a soul So many years I thought it was ending But it opened up and swallowed me whole No happy endings Will rise and show themselves So I gotta reach out And write and ending And ending for myself Before I close the book I always skip to the end See will I ever fall in love With making music again Or did I give up all my passion and friends To run a factory line That I'll just replace when I finally left Yo, wanna know the day I knew nobody pray for me The day somebody told me this your legacy This is what you'll stay to be Unless you make a break 'Cause this game it just takes And it takes and it takes It's been years There ain't nothing for me here I was broken and alone But now I'm home Will I rot away? If I said what's on my mind Will they all leave me behind? I thought I was safe Thought that I'd see brighter days Was I a shadow meant to fade all along? Will I rot away? If I stand up and say Say what plagues my mind Will they leave me... Will you leave me behind? My god with that lyrics. We will miss you Nate
Nate, your music really helped me through some rough shit in my life these past couple years. And for that I'm forever grateful. No matter what path or career or journey you embark on, know that me and many other fans will stick with you til the end! You're not a shadow meant to fade, Nate. You're a light that guides the way! Keep on following your dreams! And thank you. Keep on rocking!
Two of my favorite creators making a powerful song together- we won’t leave you guys. You deserve what you’ve worked for, trust your gut and do what you love- the real ones will follow. Love 🖤
@@AquaLeaderJesse worth the listen, he makes a lot of really good scream-hop music Chaos Control is one of my favorites and so is Get Bucked. He’s pretty exclusive on my personal Gym playlist 😂
@@AquaLeaderJesse Formerly known as Video Game Rap Battles, Cam has made a massive impact on the nerdcore rap community. He is definitely worth a listen, especially for the rap cyphers he puts out
A song mixed with all your past FNaF music, and a heartfelt lyric that ties into your mental health... It's powerful. You won't rot away, and we wont forget you. Fandom music isn't your legacy, and I know whatever you make next will blow us all away again.
I nearly lost it at the Salvaged reference because it’s always been my uncontested favorite fnaf song of all time. This song feels less like a song about fnaf itself but Nate’s decision to move on, wondering if we’re gonna leave him since he’s leaving fnaf. The lyrics themselves also perfect for any sort of situation I want to imagine in my head since I relate to them. It mentions the way fnaf sucked millions of people in and how Nate feels almost trapped in it when making music. Lastly, the first transition from Cam to Nate was phenomenal.
the end of an era. thank you for all the amazing songs you’ve released these past 10 years and i can’t wait to see what you’ve got in store in the future.
God I’m gonna miss him, but I’m excited to see some more of his personal music, like what he did with his Sandcastle Kingdom and Paid In Exposure albums. I bitter but sweet send off from the fandom music community. WE LOVE YOU NATE ❤ Edit: I’m also interested in what the rest of Give Heart Records has to offer, Shawn Christmas has got some BANGERS!!!
So glad I've kept up with with Nate's music for nearly a decade. I can't wait to see what new things he has in store for us. Even if this chapter has ended, we'll never leave him behind
“This game it just takes, and it takes, and it takes” such a powerful line for how much time nate has given these fnaf songs that we truly take for granted
Okay so… 0:53 Salvaged reference, possible Mangled and Nightmare mention 1:40 Hold On to You and/or We Are Ignited reference 1:54 Salvaged reference 2:25 Salvaged reference 2:31 Home reference 2:55 chords reminiscent of The Finale 2:57 Heavy Metal Nate (This is the End, Nothing Left to Want) (I may have missed some tbh) This song manages to both reference a ton of his older works, while still serving as a goodbye to the series Nate’s poured so much of his life into. I have nothing but respect for him, and Nate, I hope you succeed in whatever you decide to do next. Thank you!
I noticed this the first time I listened to it! This is the first song I listened to and it isn't my number one favorite. I will say that Young Forever is my number one favorite, Nothing to Me is my second favorite. I have had dreams that most of these songs, with the characters in them, were constantly chasing me at 60 mph down my street and straight up singing Nate's songs and causing me to have nightmares. Sadly, I did develop self harm thoughts after having those nightmares because the dreams were telling me what had happened to me was my fault and that I should be 6 feet under, which later on became so bad that I did attempt to leave the world behind. The running down my street thing and the characters chasing after me, holding a suit to stuff me into once they caught up to me, was telling me that I was closing my feelings and emotions and thoughts from the outside world and I wanted to never come out of my room (stuffing me inside the suit being that example). The last nightmare I had was back in May when I came out as Hetero-romantic Asexual (it went The nightmare ended in me being murdered by a guy who abused me and was very toxic to me and my family, and my friends, and stuffing my body in a box and throwing it into the ocean. The nightmare also had 3 of my online friends, one from Ukraine, one from Russia, and one from my home state (South Carolina), that were murdered by him, which he was represented as the Purple Guy (aka William Afton), and I was forced to watch my friends get murdered and stuffed into suits and see them get abandoned as well. I have a fear of being abandoned and three of those friends being taken from me and me being thrown into the ocean so my spirit could be separated from the spirits of my friends, made my fear of being abandoned even worse. I woke up from those nightmares screaming the names of my friends and I always cried when I did. The war in Ukraine has probably killed my friend from Ukraine and my other friend from Russia, and those friends promised to be by my side as much as possible. Another online friend of mine who lived close to where the missile hit Poland is okay, but they left for Canada to stay for the rest of their life...
@@lisadoesphotography12 Wow. I have to say, I really wasn’t expecting someone to open up to me so much in the comment section of a FNAF song, but I’m glad you did. I’m almost certainly not in any way a qualified person to give you advice about this sort of thing, but I will say this. If you ever feel that horrible way again or you still do, make sure to talk to someone that you care about. They’re there for you, and can help you out when you need it.
What a fantastic send-off to your legacy in the FNAF/Nerdcore scene. But we ain't gonna leave you behind, Nate. We're gonna keep following you and your original music endeavors
The name of the establishment being named "NWTB" and a big theme of the song seeming to be passion turning into a factory and leaving it behind. This is some deep messaging... and it sounded great! Thanks so much for the music, Nate! I've loved it from when I first discovered your channel all those years ago with the Pokemon XY shooting star cover to now. Will always be here, never leave you behind. Big fan of Cam as well, such a great sounding rapper and fit so perfectly, loved when you were on his Pokemon villain cypher.
Don’t worry Nate, none of us are going to leave you. Regardless of the topic or subject matter, your music is always awesome! Hope you can find that spark and enjoy making music again!
This is a song disguised a FNAF song and frankly this is the content I love from you dude, the most of us ain’t going anywhere after this album. You’re the first artist I ever actually paid to support. And I’ll keep doing that when I have the chance.
it seems like the entire album is disguised as a fnaf album. but it's just him saying he's sick of all of people only wanting music from him related to fnaf
@@jsnchv damn right, the lyrics to these songs don’t really have anything in common with the games they’re supposed to be about it’s more like Nate writing about his personal struggles while dropping some fnaf / other games easter eggs here and there
This song is a masterpiece. I love the references to your past song, I love how you're admitting everything that is on your mind. I love the melody, the power and emotion and duality (multiple meanings) behind the lyrics, everything. And this couldn't have come at a better time- I was spiraling in my own personal thoughts but seeing the notification for this song brought me out of it from excitement, and I'm feeling better, at least for now. You're an incredibly talented song writer Nate, I discovered you from your FNaF music and stuck around ever since. It got me through mentally rough times and was definitely a part of why FNaF became so special to me in the first place- because of the fan content it inspired, like yours. Even then, I branched off into music you made for other fandoms I wasn't into at times, and I LOVE your entirely original content that isn't based on any fandoms as well. What I'm trying to get at is that I never intended on leaving you behind. I'm looking forward to seeing where you go from here, wherever that may be.
People need to pay attention to the lyrics. This is a very real song about what Nate struggles with and what the fnaf/nerdcore community has done to him. It was very heartbreaking to hear this song honestly, it was very good but it also made me very sad for him because it's not fair what the community has done. All you guys do is ask and take from him, and don't give him a chance to do what he really wants to do. Literally, it's been 10 years and he only has 2 albums of pure original music out. I'm just glad he's finally going to be able to make the music he wants and not what some kid on the internet wants.
@dat one ghost Yes exactly, and same!! This is coming from someone who is the biggest fucking fan of his nerdcore songs, however I've literally never explicitly gone and like asked in the comments for more. I've always just happily taken whatever he makes and supported him all the way through. It doesn't matter if it's nerdcore or originals, I just love his music period, and I want him to only be making the stuff he's happy making and that he wants to make. It really is sad yeah, and I'm happy for him too!! His music is so addictive haha.
Nate, your feelings matter. Music should be a way to express your feelings. Fandom songs don’t have to be your legacy. Whatever you decide to do, I promise I won’t ever leave you behind.
Let me be the first to say- as good as the fandom stuff is (love the callbacks to the other ones you wrote here), Nate, your original music is just so good and I can’t wait to hear more of it. Take your time and make what you wanna make!
All the callbacks to the last near decade of songs(and cameo from Hold on to You, which I enjoy since KH is how I found you way back on the cover for Simple and Clean) while also being a sonnet and airing of grievances for a retrospective on FNAF as a franchise is one fantastical send off to you, Nate. I'll miss Natewantstobattle, but I'm not going anywhere while I patiently anticipate the next Nathan Sharp Original. Hope your skies start clearing up to see the sun again, my guy. Stay awesome.
As a final send off to this chapter of your career/life (or close to it) it is super well done. While being a fan of all the series you've done a cover for, what really kept me coming back was you and your musical talent. We will still have all the old songs, but I look forward to the projects you talked about in your update video a month ago and what the next chapter will bring!
I don't think this is a song about FNAF, I think it's a song about the fandom, or fandoms in general. It shows how fandoms treat artists, how they constantly ask and ask for more songs about the thing they like and them proceed to bombard them with hate when they change subject, it is truly a sad thing.
A lot of Nate's songs about FNAF comes from the perspective of either the fans of fnaf, or Nate himself (talking about his feelings, talking to the fans, talking to Scott [I have a giant comment on one of the SB songs I think about all the lines that do this in all his songs up until then I think]), but this is definitely the most obvious, having several lines spelling it out for people rather then one or two. I've always noticed these double meaning lines and have been aware of how tired of FNAF Nate's gotten for years now, so I'm happy he feels like he can let go of FNAF now and his fandom songs. Like always I love the nods to Salvaged and Home, and I can't wait to see where he goes from here as Sandcastle Kingdoms and Paid In Exposure are some of my favourite albums.
It's been a fun ride, Nate. Thank you SO MUCH for everything. You've given me not just my favorite FNAF song, but my favorite song of all time in general. Nightmare will forever hold a special place in my heart, and so will everything else you made. I'm looking forward to whatever you choose to do after this.
One of the best songs ever on this franchise cause it discusses what happens when a successful franchise like fnaf is all you are known for and the struggle of breaking free from it.
I actually can't say all I want to say in english, so I'm just gonna say it in spanish. Es espectacular, el peso que ha significado arrastrar por AÑOS una saga que va y viene como lo es Fnaf, siendo capaz de hacernos quedar por el ritmo, la letra o el simple hecho de que sea una canción nueva es increible. Es mas que evidente lo saturado que Nate esta, y lo entendemos perfectamente, aunque sea el fin de una era, seguirá siendo SU MÚSICA, lo que estaremos escuchando. Álbumes como lo son Sandcasttle Kingdoms y Paid in Exposure demuestran que es ÉL lo que nos hace seguir aquí, y no en qué, este basada su música. Keep going Nate, we are not going to leave you behind
Can we appreciate this isn't just about FNAF? This whole song is about Nate's new chapter in life. How this game swallowed his career. A lot of people came just for his FNAF music, and will hopefully stay for the new original content that waits in the future! We all hope you're satisfied Nate. You left an ever lasting impression in this fandom.
Nate writes normal songs about himself and labels it as fnaf songs. That's what's impressive about nate's lyrical composition. Its based on fnaf but you can apply it to other scenarios. Even his earlier songs to some extent
You know, this song hits me the hardest because personally, I never cared for the series or the games. Because in the end I always came back for you. Nate, your songs had helped me through rough times, and it was always thanks to your music. You are and have always been one of my favorite artists on UA-cam, and I hope you read this comment because your voice has helped me so much since college days. For me, you'll never rot or be forgotten because you'll always that one artist on UA-cam that I'll never stop loving or being a fan of. Thank you so much for the fnaf series of songs since this was the thing that got me to being a fan of you.
This song is an actual masterpiece! The lyrics are so hard-hitting and resonating, and combined with the powerful and driving instrumental it's impossible not to headbang to! Absolutely loved the contrast between the rap verses from Cam as well as the main vocals from Nate, makes for such a cool blend of melodic and rhythmic switch-up in the different sections of the track! The first song I ever listened to from NWTB was Monster Inside from the Mangled album in 2015 and I've been here ever since, loving and listening to the music that has helped aid me through some pretty difficult times, and I can say that it has definitely eased my journey along the way to where I find myself in better times today... Always been a fan of the stuff you put out there, whether it was fandom songs, anime covers, and even your original music as well! Thank you for bringing your skill and hard work to these songs you create, it's always amazing to see what you come up with! Even though this marks the end of one era, I can't wait to see what original projects you will hold in the next one! We won't leave you behind :)
I love the final use of the fnaf motifs. The fact we'll never hear them used anymore is sad but I'm glad he's no longer feeling trapped by feeling the need to make Fandom music.
We will miss your fnaf songs, but we will stick with you. For me personally, your fnaf songs that were out by February 2015 are part of what solidified my love for fnaf, especially Mangled, and because of that, even if you don't do any more songs about fnaf, I will always be following your work and enjoying it for as long as you are making music. Thank you for making all the songs you did about fnaf, and for being a huge part of a lot of fnaf fans' childhoods.
Nate, you are a chad for opening up about how you feel about this series. We wouldn’t ever leave you just cause you stop making music you don’t like, that’s what dumb people do, dumb people leave when something changes, we don’t.
ive listened to your songs ever since i was in middle school, and even now as a young adult i still enjoy every moment of you and your work. "would they leave me behind?" i sure as hell wont
This song is a bittersweet, love/hate letter to FNAF and making this music for so long, but don’t worry Nate. You may be leaving, but we will always appreciate your work over the years to FNAF, and to every fandom you have graced with your talent. I hope for the best for you bud. See you on the flip side!
"and now this dream that I was chasing seems to chain me in place" god damn, that hits hard. While much more angry and aggressive sounding in comparison, this song is very similar tone wise to Obsolete. Both are very morbid and bleak, but while one bursts with fury and rage, the other does the same with hopelessness and depression
I actually found Nate through his gameplay videos and liked the songs he put out as well so this being the final fandom song he does, is fitting, cause fans can be supportive, but they can also be very draining when they demand more of the same. With that being said I support him and all he does, he has been through a lot he doesn't need to share so when he puts feelings like this open and obvious, we should heed it and be a pillar of support for him.
Nate, thank you for everything you've done for us over the years. Yes, this saddens a lot of people to know this is one of your last albums on Gaming, but imma follow you with whatever comes next. You are an amazing, talented guy, and your true fans will always follow you and make sure you never fade. We won’t leave you behind.
I wouldn't worry about having to mask this as a FNAF song in visuals alone. I remember years ago, seeing something about you wanting to be done with FNAF songs or fandom songs as a whole. I've been here since 2013/14 and have enjoyed every moment of it. Just keep on at whatever pace makes you happy with the content you put out! Don't burn yourself out for the sake of making the rest of us happy, you're human just like us.
I hate when a franchise takes over a channel and it seems like it's the only reason someone has any fans, I've watched your videos since the early 2010s I can assure you I'm here for you, I'll always support anything you do even if it's not exactly what I like.
Your fans will always be there for you Nate. It sucks that his journey has to end, but that’s what journeys are for, they have destination you need to reach. We understand your fear, but we won’t leave you behind. I was always a fan of your original work and I’m exited to see more of that and what other projects you have in store. Take care of yourself Nate, and we’ll be here for you when you’re ready to come back.
You'll find new things in your own ways and we know that you'll find your own happiness from it. We won't leave you behind and instead we thank you for all of what you've given us all these years. Many of us grew up with your music and you've been a big part of our lives, Nate and we hope that we're the same for you
I normally never do this kind of thing but your channel and songs are so important to who am today and you're so incredibly talented. UA-cam needs to have a double like button for when you really appreciate something and it isn't like a mindless scroll. But since they don't, I'm glad it has this option. Do what you gotta do man. I'll be here.
Wow. Such a strong song. You expressing your feelings over making fandom music under the guise of a FNAF song. (And with a sprinkle of what I presume to be a Hamilton reference or two; "The game it just takes and it takes and it takes" and the focus on legacy/your history). I'm sorry it ate at you doing these wonderful songs for the past 10+ years for every fandom under the sun, and while part of me wishes you'd eventually return I absolutely understand that this is for real. Regardless, I'll still support you and your music just as I have many years before. Nightmare was actually my first introduction to your music and is still one of my all-time favorites, though there are of course countless other good songs (original, fandom-made, covers, etc) that I play on repeat. All in all, thank you for the wonderful past 10 years of music. You're an inspiration to me, to us all, and possibly to other music artists under the GHR name. Your hard work and drive partially inspired me to want to make video games someday. See you on the flipside, Nate.
Nate, you make me feel like a kid again... All the good memories i have listening to your fnaf song omg i can't even describe it The way you put some parts of nighmare and home its perfect
We won’t leave you behind, Nate. I still need to hear whatever you got cooking up to follow up Paid in Exposure, man! Keep doing what you love and we’ll keep loving you!
We aren't just here for music about media. We're here because we appreciate the art that you make. I think a lot of people share this sentiment, we're here because we like you, not because your music is linked to someone else's story. And everyone isn't just going to walk away because you've decided to change and move on.
It was nice to hear your perspectives onto FNaF. Honestly, all those songs will forever be in my playlists, cause unlike everyone's else they actually felt like non-game-Songs. So many lyrics that are actually genius despite being based on fnaf. You know it doesn't matter what content you'll make, will it be original, or based on something, I'll always follow you man. You always deliver the greatest music that I'll ever hear. If you want to leave fnaf behind, then it's time to move on, I guess. By the way, your Song DELETE ME inspired me to write my first poem ever. It actually even gave me the idea of writing a book. Thank you for giving me inspiration and determination. I love you Nate, and I certainly won't leave you Behind.
FIRST HOLY SHIT Edit: as I’m listening, it feels bittersweet. The end of an era. The references to his other FNAF songs always get me. I can’t help but feel for him when it comes to making content based around the dang thing for almost a decade. It’s draining, and completely valid to wonder if your following will keep up if that ever changes. All in all, I am so ready for the album, and whatever comes in the future. “You’re not a shadow. You won’t fade.” We aren’t going anywhere, Nate 💚
I wont ever, and I really mean EVER, leave you behind Nate, I love you and your work a lot. I've been listening your songs since I was in highschool and now that I'm finishing college it would be fine to leave this fnaf chapter behind, but never you. Keep it up and good luck with everything!
This song is perfect closure to fnaf. It’s a wonderful blend of lyrics and instrumental that I respect! Wonderful job to everyone involved. Can’t wait for the album drop tomorrow ❤❤
This song is very depressing, it sucks you had to make things you didn't want to for years possibly, it ain't much but I'll always be here for whatever you put out
No other FNaF artist is like Nate. At least in my mind. He's probably made the most fnaf related songs out of any other fan artist. He was put on such a pedestal... Of course he'd fall into deep waters, even knowing he'd drown.
I've literally grew up listening to your songs, got excited everytime a new song came out and listen to it several times, I'm glad to still be part of this community, this feels like the perfect finale, the lyrics just hits hard, I'll never leave you behind !
Not one person is here only for your FNAF music my good sir. You have bangers across multiple series, your fans will be with you forever. Even after FNAF, you'll still be here.
I said I'd e here for you no matter what you were going to fo in the future when I saw you make those Zelda and Undertale albums and I won't be stopping now. I discovered you in 2012 and you helped me through so much. There's no way I'm leaving you behind. You never left me behind.
Nathan Sharp, thank you for all of the amazing music over these past few years. Keep spreading your wings. It'll work out wonderful. Not sure how much it matters, but I'm at least one person who will still be rooting for you.
Nate; I'm in my final years of high school, and I found you through your FNaF music when I was in fourth grade. It's been 7 years, and I can tell you that it's been an incredible ride. The nostalgia, the original albums, everything. Obviously you're doing something right if you've kept me here this long. I'll miss the video game songs, but I cannot wait for more original stuff. This song definitely assured that I'll be sticking around. I, and everyone else, is rooting for you and is so excited for the future. Cheers, my friend 🎉
Holy hell this hits hard. I can tell how this is you just wanting to move on. It's amazing. Plus the Salvaged reference was amazing. I can't wait to see your next projects. Have a good day man
Thank you nate. I am an italian boy who discovered you at the age of 8. Now i'm 15, and you are still my favourite singer. I loved everything you have made, from the fandom songs to the original ones like "dream alone" which is, alongside this one and basically the whole "paid in exposure" album, my favourite song of yours. No, i won't leave you behind. You and this songs are part of me and I can't forget what helped me through this years. I'm almost crying while writing this. Thanks for your passion, for your dedition, and for everything. I will continue to follow Nathan sharp, but I won't forget natewantstobattle❤
wish this wasn't labelled as a fnaf song cuz it isn't, it's about nate being shackled down by a genre (nerdcore). im so glad he's going to pursue his own original music instead of staying and doing nerdcore and covers. his work in sonic frontiers, being one way dream, is the best start to that journey.
Todays the day. It’s a bit bittersweet. I first discovered Nate in the gtlive collab, with chubby bunny, but I never super got into the fandom stuff. I listened to his songs when they’d show up, but I really only actively started listening when the game grump covers came out. I’m looking forward to whatever direction he moves in, and anything else from this channel in general.
what drew me to nates music was the fact i could relate to some of the lyrics, not because it was fandom music. chase your dreams nate, those who was here for you for your music style will remain.
The symbolism in this song holy fuck it's genius. This isn't even a FNAF song it's literally your perspective on the series and how it affected you mentally and I love it. It's ok that your moving on from FNAF and in all honesty it's a step in the right direction. I wish you well Nate
This is most definitely a song about not only FNAF, but also Nate's mental health. Truthfully I don't know what's going on, but even though this song is awesome, I'm worried and I hope Nate gets better. This will be the last FNAF album and I'm honestly okay with that, go ahead and grow with your music Nate!
I spent half the song trying to figure out what this has to do with FNAF, before I realized that aside from the visuals, this is just about NateWantsToBattle. About his journey to where he is now, and why he's deciding to stop. Do what's good for you man, and thank you for the songs you've given us.

Glad to write one last chapter before closing the book 🖤
Cam, you really bring out a lot of emotion in this song, I really hope you and nate collaborate in the future as you mix perfectly.
You guys made an awesome team for this song.😊
I sincerely hope for a steady journey from here!
Truly an amazing song
I got it
This isn’t a FNAF song, this is a song about Nate’s perspective on FNAF. It’s kinda sad to hear this is how he’s felt all this time.
But no, we won’t leave you behind.
yeah i think so too
Would def make sense if thats the case! Obsolete is another song that explained his feelings on fnaf as well! so this song explaining Nate's feelings on FNAF makes SO much sense
I had no idea obsolete was like that...... NOW I FEEL BAD FOR NOT KNOWING!!!!!!!!!! T_T but no I won't leave natewantstobattle behind!
@@princessc0108 I wont either! i cannot wait to see what Nate does in the future! :D
wow......i never knew.....that makes it evens sadder.....
Someone in the comments confirmed it, but this being a song about your feelings on the series, rather than about the series itself makes this one special. You've been here for me through your music, so I can at least repay the favor and listen to your new stuff
I listen to a lot of his songs I enjoy his music
Henry speech be like:
"Another melody of somebody's story, I'll finally admit I don't care"
"Ready to wake up from this nightmare"
"If I say what's on my mind will they all leave me behind"
"So many years I thought it was ending"
"So I gotta reach out and write an ending, an ending for myself"
Both rap parts and chorus's as well, specifically "Wanna know the day I knew nobody pray for me? The day somebody told me your legacy" That line hits the hardest imo.
This is the ultimate goodbye FNaF (and other fandoms) song. On the first listen I was catching all the references, on the second and third I started actually listening to the lyrics without connecting it to the past songs and man, it's rough.
I personally love the original stuff, the fact that we only have 2 albums of purely original music (aside from 'Heroes Never Die', that's basically an Overwatch song) in the 10 years you've been doing music is crazy to me. I miss the fancy music videos and lyrics that didn't involve games or shows/anime. I look forward to the future where we (hopefully) get more of that stuff.
Also one more thing to note that I find interesting, nearly 7 years ago, October 31st of 2015, 'The Finale' was released. Back when we all thought it was over, and here we are 8 years later with the series still ongoing.
god, i feel old. i remember when the game series first came out, hard to believe that was 8 years ago now.
"On the first listen I was catching all the references, on the second and third I started actually listening to the lyrics without connecting it to the past songs and man, it's rough." Same here. on first listen I was going in with the idea that "oh, this is a fnaf song, it's got to have some relation to fnaf lore." and then some lines half way through completely flipped how I saw it and pointed to the actually theme, and sure enough, on relisten it I got the meaning of the song. Genuinely I feel like this is a great song. not only as a song for fans of his past fnaf music, but just a great song based around the idea of gaining fame from doing the same thing over and over again. a great look into his head. which I think is really the point of art in the end. to get across an emotion or idea in an interesting way.
It's also noteworthy that the building we enter and exit is called Natewantstobattle.
I actually got it the other way, I was catching the feels from the song and only got the mangled, "broken and alone", "but now I'm home" lines on my first listen, after that I got more of them
Fnaf will not die out if it still makes any money, that's how stuff works usually
I absolutely love how personal this song is. One of the things I enjoy most about Nate's songs is how expressive they are, how much emotion is packed into each lyric and note, this being especially the case with his originals. This may be the end of an era, but that doesn't mean the next one won't be even better - and I honestly can't wait to see what's in store for us in the future.
We’ll never leave you behind. The music you’ve been able to give us will stick with us forever. Half my workout playlist is your originals and covers. Thank you for what you’ve made.
Literally same here.
same here.
I have a full quarter of my playlist as NateWantsToBattle, I have over 80 songs on my playlist
Holy shit. I was *not* expecting this one to be as obviously personal as it was.
I've said this dozens of times before, and hundreds of us are saying it now, but I have *always* been here for your journey more than anything. Sandcastle Kingdoms and Paid in Exposure are two of the best albums I've ever heard, and that's because they're *you.* At least, I hope they are, because they really feel like they're coming from somewhere genuine. I've been waiting for you to take us back to that place for a damn good while.
I cannot *wait* to see where you take us next, Nate, there isn't a chance in hell I won't be along for the ride.
AMAZING! I loved the callback to Salvaged and Home before the second chorus, and the chorus itself is poetic! Don’t get me wrong, it’s still a little sad to see these fandom songs go, but I’m so glad you’re giving them such an amazing finale, Nate. Keep doing what you do best; your music is amazing, I love it all so much. You’re a legend. Again, this has all been amazing, for all the years we’ve been blessed with your fandom music, and we will continue to be with your original music, just as much as these fandom songs after their end. Thank you for all the years of amazing and poetic music, and hopefully even more to come as time goes on. You and all the rest of Give Heart Records are legends, Nate. I wish you all the best for your careers and your futures.
Pure legends and all ways will be i sware I heard lyrics form mangled and nightmare as well bit salvaged yeah its in there
I just love how Nate always makes callbacks to his older songs. The man truly is a legend and if I could I'd buy him lunch and chat. It takes a lot writing music
Totally agree with this
I also heard another reference from his song called we are ignited it's at the end of his chorus
I won't lie, I'm gonna miss your FNAF songs. They're iconic to me. But it doesn't change that your talent goes far past making fandom songs. You have been and always will be my favorite artist Nate. Thanks for the amazing song, and can't wait to see what's next 👍
Same.
When did he say hes going to stop making them?? WHAT?
@@dracks8921 in an update video. he wants to make more original stuff rather than fnaf stuff
@@Cre8Chaos where did he say that??
@@tonysimone5808 in a video called 'its time to move on'
Lyrics:
Maybe I could say it's the last time
Or maybe I could say I'm scared
Another melody of somebody's story
I'll finally admit I don't care
It's been years and I can feel the end is near
'Cause I'm burnt out and I'm mangled
Ready to wake up from this nightmare
Wake me up
Before I close the book
I always flip to the start
I just tryna get a look
Of why I'm sick of the art
It all began with a spark
The power, fame, dollars and chance took the charge
Made me less than its parts
I didn't want it this way
I used to long for this day
Yeah the money was great
But sucked me into this phase
And now the dream that I was chasing
Seems to chain me in place
'Cause this game it just takes
And it takes and it takes
Will I rot away?
If I said what's on my mind
Will they all leave me behind?
I thought I was safe
Thought that I'd see brighter days
Was I a shadow meant to fade all along?
Did I lose my way from pretending?
Another suit without a soul
So many years I thought it was ending
But it opened up and swallowed me whole
No happy endings
Will rise and show themselves
So I gotta reach out
And write and ending
And ending for myself
Before I close the book
I always skip to the end
See will I ever fall in love
With making music again
Or did I give up all my passion and friends
To run a factory line
That I'll just replace when I finally left
Yo, wanna know the day I knew nobody pray for me
The day somebody told me this your legacy
This is what you'll stay to be
Unless you make a break
'Cause this game it just takes
And it takes and it takes
It's been years
There ain't nothing for me here
I was broken and alone
But now I'm home
Will I rot away?
If I said what's on my mind
Will they all leave me behind?
I thought I was safe
Thought that I'd see brighter days
Was I a shadow meant to fade all along?
Will I rot away?
If I stand up and say
Say what plagues my mind
Will they leave me...
Will you leave me behind?
My god with that lyrics.
We will miss you Nate
Nate, your music really helped me through some rough shit in my life these past couple years. And for that I'm forever grateful. No matter what path or career or journey you embark on, know that me and many other fans will stick with you til the end! You're not a shadow meant to fade, Nate. You're a light that guides the way! Keep on following your dreams! And thank you. Keep on rocking!

Two of my favorite creators making a powerful song together- we won’t leave you guys. You deserve what you’ve worked for, trust your gut and do what you love- the real ones will follow. Love 🖤
I am not familiar with Cam Steady but he certainly did very well in this
@@AquaLeaderJesse worth the listen, he makes a lot of really good scream-hop music Chaos Control is one of my favorites and so is Get Bucked. He’s pretty exclusive on my personal Gym playlist 😂
@@AquaLeaderJesse Formerly known as Video Game Rap Battles, Cam has made a massive impact on the nerdcore rap community. He is definitely worth a listen, especially for the rap cyphers he puts out
This track and this album really show how strong of an artist you are. Your skills go beyond any IP, and I’m excited to see what you do next.
A song mixed with all your past FNaF music, and a heartfelt lyric that ties into your mental health... It's powerful.
You won't rot away, and we wont forget you. Fandom music isn't your legacy, and I know whatever you make next will blow us all away again.
I nearly lost it at the Salvaged reference because it’s always been my uncontested favorite fnaf song of all time. This song feels less like a song about fnaf itself but Nate’s decision to move on, wondering if we’re gonna leave him since he’s leaving fnaf. The lyrics themselves also perfect for any sort of situation I want to imagine in my head since I relate to them. It mentions the way fnaf sucked millions of people in and how Nate feels almost trapped in it when making music. Lastly, the first transition from Cam to Nate was phenomenal.
the end of an era. thank you for all the amazing songs you’ve released these past 10 years and i can’t wait to see what you’ve got in store in the future.
God I’m gonna miss him, but I’m excited to see some more of his personal music, like what he did with his Sandcastle Kingdom and Paid In Exposure albums. I bitter but sweet send off from the fandom music community. WE LOVE YOU NATE ❤
Edit: I’m also interested in what the rest of Give Heart Records has to offer, Shawn Christmas has got some BANGERS!!!
So glad I've kept up with with Nate's music for nearly a decade. I can't wait to see what new things he has in store for us. Even if this chapter has ended, we'll never leave him behind
agreed
100%, I'm here till the end (which I really hope there isn't one)
“This game it just takes, and it takes, and it takes” such a powerful line for how much time nate has given these fnaf songs that we truly take for granted
Okay so…
0:53 Salvaged reference, possible Mangled and Nightmare mention
1:40 Hold On to You and/or We Are Ignited reference
1:54 Salvaged reference
2:25 Salvaged reference
2:31 Home reference
2:55 chords reminiscent of The Finale
2:57 Heavy Metal Nate (This is the End, Nothing Left to Want)
(I may have missed some tbh)
This song manages to both reference a ton of his older works, while still serving as a goodbye to the series Nate’s poured so much of his life into. I have nothing but respect for him, and Nate, I hope you succeed in whatever you decide to do next. Thank you!
The last line of the chorus is a reference to We Are Ignited
@@gayle225 Didn’t catch that one, thanks!
I noticed this the first time I listened to it! This is the first song I listened to and it isn't my number one favorite. I will say that Young Forever is my number one favorite, Nothing to Me is my second favorite.
I have had dreams that most of these songs, with the characters in them, were constantly chasing me at 60 mph down my street and straight up singing Nate's songs and causing me to have nightmares.
Sadly, I did develop self harm thoughts after having those nightmares because the dreams were telling me what had happened to me was my fault and that I should be 6 feet under, which later on became so bad that I did attempt to leave the world behind.
The running down my street thing and the characters chasing after me, holding a suit to stuff me into once they caught up to me, was telling me that I was closing my feelings and emotions and thoughts from the outside world and I wanted to never come out of my room (stuffing me inside the suit being that example).
The last nightmare I had was back in May when I came out as Hetero-romantic Asexual (it went The nightmare ended in me being murdered by a guy who abused me and was very toxic to me and my family, and my friends, and stuffing my body in a box and throwing it into the ocean. The nightmare also had 3 of my online friends, one from Ukraine, one from Russia, and one from my home state (South Carolina), that were murdered by him, which he was represented as the Purple Guy (aka William Afton), and I was forced to watch my friends get murdered and stuffed into suits and see them get abandoned as well.
I have a fear of being abandoned and three of those friends being taken from me and me being thrown into the ocean so my spirit could be separated from the spirits of my friends, made my fear of being abandoned even worse.
I woke up from those nightmares screaming the names of my friends and I always cried when I did. The war in Ukraine has probably killed my friend from Ukraine and my other friend from Russia, and those friends promised to be by my side as much as possible. Another online friend of mine who lived close to where the missile hit Poland is okay, but they left for Canada to stay for the rest of their life...
@@lisadoesphotography12 Wow. I have to say, I really wasn’t expecting someone to open up to me so much in the comment section of a FNAF song, but I’m glad you did.
I’m almost certainly not in any way a qualified person to give you advice about this sort of thing, but I will say this. If you ever feel that horrible way again or you still do, make sure to talk to someone that you care about. They’re there for you, and can help you out when you need it.
"Was I a shadow meant to fade all along" could also be a reference to his Kingdom Hearts song "Hold on to You".
What a fantastic send-off to your legacy in the FNAF/Nerdcore scene. But we ain't gonna leave you behind, Nate. We're gonna keep following you and your original music endeavors
The slight run during “rot away” makes me smile every time, damn Nate hasn’t missed all these years and I’m so excited for what comes next. ❤
The name of the establishment being named "NWTB" and a big theme of the song seeming to be passion turning into a factory and leaving it behind. This is some deep messaging... and it sounded great! Thanks so much for the music, Nate! I've loved it from when I first discovered your channel all those years ago with the Pokemon XY shooting star cover to now. Will always be here, never leave you behind.
Big fan of Cam as well, such a great sounding rapper and fit so perfectly, loved when you were on his Pokemon villain cypher.
I swear just reading your comment got my brain just humming along to training hard.
Don’t worry Nate, none of us are going to leave you. Regardless of the topic or subject matter, your music is always awesome! Hope you can find that spark and enjoy making music again!
This is a song disguised a FNAF song and frankly this is the content I love from you dude, the most of us ain’t going anywhere after this album. You’re the first artist I ever actually paid to support. And I’ll keep doing that when I have the chance.
it seems like the entire album is disguised as a fnaf album. but it's just him saying he's sick of all of people only wanting music from him related to fnaf
@@jsnchv damn right, the lyrics to these songs don’t really have anything in common with the games they’re supposed to be about
it’s more like Nate writing about his personal struggles while dropping some fnaf / other games easter eggs here and there
This song is a masterpiece. I love the references to your past song, I love how you're admitting everything that is on your mind. I love the melody, the power and emotion and duality (multiple meanings) behind the lyrics, everything. And this couldn't have come at a better time- I was spiraling in my own personal thoughts but seeing the notification for this song brought me out of it from excitement, and I'm feeling better, at least for now. You're an incredibly talented song writer Nate, I discovered you from your FNaF music and stuck around ever since. It got me through mentally rough times and was definitely a part of why FNaF became so special to me in the first place- because of the fan content it inspired, like yours. Even then, I branched off into music you made for other fandoms I wasn't into at times, and I LOVE your entirely original content that isn't based on any fandoms as well. What I'm trying to get at is that I never intended on leaving you behind. I'm looking forward to seeing where you go from here, wherever that may be.
People need to pay attention to the lyrics. This is a very real song about what Nate struggles with and what the fnaf/nerdcore community has done to him. It was very heartbreaking to hear this song honestly, it was very good but it also made me very sad for him because it's not fair what the community has done. All you guys do is ask and take from him, and don't give him a chance to do what he really wants to do. Literally, it's been 10 years and he only has 2 albums of pure original music out.
I'm just glad he's finally going to be able to make the music he wants and not what some kid on the internet wants.
@dat one ghost Yes exactly, and same!! This is coming from someone who is the biggest fucking fan of his nerdcore songs, however I've literally never explicitly gone and like asked in the comments for more. I've always just happily taken whatever he makes and supported him all the way through. It doesn't matter if it's nerdcore or originals, I just love his music period, and I want him to only be making the stuff he's happy making and that he wants to make. It really is sad yeah, and I'm happy for him too!! His music is so addictive haha.
@dat one ghost Yes yes!! Agreed!! He's also one of my all time favorites :)
I've been wanting more originals from him since paid in exposure came out. so I'm excited.
Nate, your feelings matter. Music should be a way to express your feelings. Fandom songs don’t have to be your legacy. Whatever you decide to do, I promise I won’t ever leave you behind.
Let me be the first to say- as good as the fandom stuff is (love the callbacks to the other ones you wrote here), Nate, your original music is just so good and I can’t wait to hear more of it. Take your time and make what you wanna make!
All the callbacks to the last near decade of songs(and cameo from Hold on to You, which I enjoy since KH is how I found you way back on the cover for Simple and Clean) while also being a sonnet and airing of grievances for a retrospective on FNAF as a franchise is one fantastical send off to you, Nate.
I'll miss Natewantstobattle, but I'm not going anywhere while I patiently anticipate the next Nathan Sharp Original. Hope your skies start clearing up to see the sun again, my guy. Stay awesome.
Bruh, some of my favorite tracks from you aren't even FNaF. You're incredibly talented and I can't wait to see what you do next!
As a final send off to this chapter of your career/life (or close to it) it is super well done. While being a fan of all the series you've done a cover for, what really kept me coming back was you and your musical talent. We will still have all the old songs, but I look forward to the projects you talked about in your update video a month ago and what the next chapter will bring!
One of the best songs Nate has produced, It shows nates perspective in fnaf in general and does it in the best way possible.
I absolutely adore when I can tell that artists pour their heart and souls into a piece. These lyrics speak volumes. This is something special.
Nate said that the new songs from Scrap Heap might have been his favorite he‘s ever done I can fucking see why. These songs slap so hard
I don't think this is a song about FNAF, I think it's a song about the fandom, or fandoms in general. It shows how fandoms treat artists, how they constantly ask and ask for more songs about the thing they like and them proceed to bombard them with hate when they change subject, it is truly a sad thing.
A lot of Nate's songs about FNAF comes from the perspective of either the fans of fnaf, or Nate himself (talking about his feelings, talking to the fans, talking to Scott [I have a giant comment on one of the SB songs I think about all the lines that do this in all his songs up until then I think]), but this is definitely the most obvious, having several lines spelling it out for people rather then one or two. I've always noticed these double meaning lines and have been aware of how tired of FNAF Nate's gotten for years now, so I'm happy he feels like he can let go of FNAF now and his fandom songs. Like always I love the nods to Salvaged and Home, and I can't wait to see where he goes from here as Sandcastle Kingdoms and Paid In Exposure are some of my favourite albums.
It's been a fun ride, Nate. Thank you SO MUCH for everything. You've given me not just my favorite FNAF song, but my favorite song of all time in general. Nightmare will forever hold a special place in my heart, and so will everything else you made. I'm looking forward to whatever you choose to do after this.
One of the best songs ever on this franchise cause it discusses what happens when a successful franchise like fnaf is all you are known for and the struggle of breaking free from it.
I actually can't say all I want to say in english, so I'm just gonna say it in spanish.
Es espectacular, el peso que ha significado arrastrar por AÑOS una saga que va y viene como lo es Fnaf, siendo capaz de hacernos quedar por el ritmo, la letra o el simple hecho de que sea una canción nueva es increible.
Es mas que evidente lo saturado que Nate esta, y lo entendemos perfectamente, aunque sea el fin de una era, seguirá siendo SU MÚSICA, lo que estaremos escuchando. Álbumes como lo son Sandcasttle Kingdoms y Paid in Exposure demuestran que es ÉL lo que nos hace seguir aquí, y no en qué, este basada su música.
Keep going Nate, we are not going to leave you behind
Can we appreciate this isn't just about FNAF? This whole song is about Nate's new chapter in life. How this game swallowed his career. A lot of people came just for his FNAF music, and will hopefully stay for the new original content that waits in the future! We all hope you're satisfied Nate. You left an ever lasting impression in this fandom.
We can never leave NateWantstoBattle behind.
Thank you for your amazing songs and being you
Oh my god, I have CHILLS from this one, nate!! You've outdone yourself with this album, every song is a fucking banger.
Nate writes normal songs about himself and labels it as fnaf songs.
That's what's impressive about nate's lyrical composition. Its based on fnaf but you can apply it to other scenarios. Even his earlier songs to some extent
The salvage reference killed me, what a send off
You know, this song hits me the hardest because personally, I never cared for the series or the games. Because in the end I always came back for you. Nate, your songs had helped me through rough times, and it was always thanks to your music. You are and have always been one of my favorite artists on UA-cam, and I hope you read this comment because your voice has helped me so much since college days. For me, you'll never rot or be forgotten because you'll always that one artist on UA-cam that I'll never stop loving or being a fan of. Thank you so much for the fnaf series of songs since this was the thing that got me to being a fan of you.
The call backs to old songs are so cool
This song is an actual masterpiece! The lyrics are so hard-hitting and resonating, and combined with the powerful and driving instrumental it's impossible not to headbang to! Absolutely loved the contrast between the rap verses from Cam as well as the main vocals from Nate, makes for such a cool blend of melodic and rhythmic switch-up in the different sections of the track!
The first song I ever listened to from NWTB was Monster Inside from the Mangled album in 2015 and I've been here ever since, loving and listening to the music that has helped aid me through some pretty difficult times, and I can say that it has definitely eased my journey along the way to where I find myself in better times today...
Always been a fan of the stuff you put out there, whether it was fandom songs, anime covers, and even your original music as well! Thank you for bringing your skill and hard work to these songs you create, it's always amazing to see what you come up with! Even though this marks the end of one era, I can't wait to see what original projects you will hold in the next one!
We won't leave you behind :)
bro i relate to this too much 😭
I love the final use of the fnaf motifs. The fact we'll never hear them used anymore is sad but I'm glad he's no longer feeling trapped by feeling the need to make Fandom music.
This was absolutely amazing! So glad to know that Nate is still making crazy good music, along with Cam! Great job on the song !!🔥
We will miss your fnaf songs, but we will stick with you. For me personally, your fnaf songs that were out by February 2015 are part of what solidified my love for fnaf, especially Mangled, and because of that, even if you don't do any more songs about fnaf, I will always be following your work and enjoying it for as long as you are making music. Thank you for making all the songs you did about fnaf, and for being a huge part of a lot of fnaf fans' childhoods.
Nate, you are a chad for opening up about how you feel about this series. We wouldn’t ever leave you just cause you stop making music you don’t like, that’s what dumb people do, dumb people leave when something changes, we don’t.
I love this! The small "Salvaged" part hit me!
I just love his FNAF songs. I (personally) think that they are your best ones
I first came to Nate's channel for his FNaF music. But I stayed for the quality. The true fans will stick with you, Nate. We won't leave you behind.
ive listened to your songs ever since i was in middle school, and even now as a young adult i still enjoy every moment of you and your work. "would they leave me behind?" i sure as hell wont
This song is a bittersweet, love/hate letter to FNAF and making this music for so long, but don’t worry Nate. You may be leaving, but we will always appreciate your work over the years to FNAF, and to every fandom you have graced with your talent. I hope for the best for you bud. See you on the flip side!
THIS SONG STILLLLL SLAPPPPPPSSS
"and now this dream that I was chasing seems to chain me in place" god damn, that hits hard. While much more angry and aggressive sounding in comparison, this song is very similar tone wise to Obsolete. Both are very morbid and bleak, but while one bursts with fury and rage, the other does the same with hopelessness and depression
I actually found Nate through his gameplay videos and liked the songs he put out as well so this being the final fandom song he does, is fitting, cause fans can be supportive, but they can also be very draining when they demand more of the same. With that being said I support him and all he does, he has been through a lot he doesn't need to share so when he puts feelings like this open and obvious, we should heed it and be a pillar of support for him.
it’s even better the twentieth time listening to it
never leaving you behind dude, your music shaped my childhood, my teen years specifically. whatever you do next, i WILL be listening 🖤
Nate, thank you for everything you've done for us over the years. Yes, this saddens a lot of people to know this is one of your last albums on Gaming, but imma follow you with whatever comes next. You are an amazing, talented guy, and your true fans will always follow you and make sure you never fade. We won’t leave you behind.
I wouldn't worry about having to mask this as a FNAF song in visuals alone. I remember years ago, seeing something about you wanting to be done with FNAF songs or fandom songs as a whole. I've been here since 2013/14 and have enjoyed every moment of it. Just keep on at whatever pace makes you happy with the content you put out! Don't burn yourself out for the sake of making the rest of us happy, you're human just like us.
I hate when a franchise takes over a channel and it seems like it's the only reason someone has any fans, I've watched your videos since the early 2010s I can assure you I'm here for you, I'll always support anything you do even if it's not exactly what I like.
Your fans will always be there for you Nate. It sucks that his journey has to end, but that’s what journeys are for, they have destination you need to reach. We understand your fear, but we won’t leave you behind. I was always a fan of your original work and I’m exited to see more of that and what other projects you have in store. Take care of yourself Nate, and we’ll be here for you when you’re ready to come back.
You'll find new things in your own ways and we know that you'll find your own happiness from it. We won't leave you behind and instead we thank you for all of what you've given us all these years. Many of us grew up with your music and you've been a big part of our lives, Nate and we hope that we're the same for you
I normally never do this kind of thing but your channel and songs are so important to who am today and you're so incredibly talented. UA-cam needs to have a double like button for when you really appreciate something and it isn't like a mindless scroll. But since they don't, I'm glad it has this option. Do what you gotta do man. I'll be here.
Wow. Such a strong song. You expressing your feelings over making fandom music under the guise of a FNAF song. (And with a sprinkle of what I presume to be a Hamilton reference or two; "The game it just takes and it takes and it takes" and the focus on legacy/your history). I'm sorry it ate at you doing these wonderful songs for the past 10+ years for every fandom under the sun, and while part of me wishes you'd eventually return I absolutely understand that this is for real. Regardless, I'll still support you and your music just as I have many years before.
Nightmare was actually my first introduction to your music and is still one of my all-time favorites, though there are of course countless other good songs (original, fandom-made, covers, etc) that I play on repeat.
All in all, thank you for the wonderful past 10 years of music. You're an inspiration to me, to us all, and possibly to other music artists under the GHR name. Your hard work and drive partially inspired me to want to make video games someday.
See you on the flipside, Nate.
Nate, you make me feel like a kid again...
All the good memories i have listening to your fnaf song omg i can't even describe it
The way you put some parts of nighmare and home its perfect
We won’t leave you behind, Nate. I still need to hear whatever you got cooking up to follow up Paid in Exposure, man! Keep doing what you love and we’ll keep loving you!
We aren't just here for music about media. We're here because we appreciate the art that you make. I think a lot of people share this sentiment, we're here because we like you, not because your music is linked to someone else's story. And everyone isn't just going to walk away because you've decided to change and move on.
Lyrics wise, this is easily his best song
Thanks for all the memories with your fnaf songs, I hope you make even more memories for others with your next songs
It was nice to hear your perspectives onto FNaF. Honestly, all those songs will forever be in my playlists, cause unlike everyone's else they actually felt like non-game-Songs. So many lyrics that are actually genius despite being based on fnaf. You know it doesn't matter what content you'll make, will it be original, or based on something, I'll always follow you man. You always deliver the greatest music that I'll ever hear. If you want to leave fnaf behind, then it's time to move on, I guess.
By the way, your Song DELETE ME inspired me to write my first poem ever. It actually even gave me the idea of writing a book. Thank you for giving me inspiration and determination. I love you Nate, and I certainly won't leave you
Behind.
FIRST HOLY SHIT
Edit: as I’m listening, it feels bittersweet. The end of an era. The references to his other FNAF songs always get me. I can’t help but feel for him when it comes to making content based around the dang thing for almost a decade. It’s draining, and completely valid to wonder if your following will keep up if that ever changes. All in all, I am so ready for the album, and whatever comes in the future.
“You’re not a shadow. You won’t fade.”
We aren’t going anywhere, Nate 💚
I wont ever, and I really mean EVER, leave you behind Nate, I love you and your work a lot. I've been listening your songs since I was in highschool and now that I'm finishing college it would be fine to leave this fnaf chapter behind, but never you. Keep it up and good luck with everything!
This song is perfect closure to fnaf. It’s a wonderful blend of lyrics and instrumental that I respect! Wonderful job to everyone involved. Can’t wait for the album drop tomorrow ❤❤
Thank you for my childhood Nate and for all you have done for us. It’s time for the curtains to close and I can’t wait to see where life takes you.
This song is very depressing, it sucks you had to make things you didn't want to for years possibly, it ain't much but I'll always be here for whatever you put out
No other FNaF artist is like Nate. At least in my mind. He's probably made the most fnaf related songs out of any other fan artist. He was put on such a pedestal... Of course he'd fall into deep waters, even knowing he'd drown.
I've literally grew up listening to your songs, got excited everytime a new song came out and listen to it several times, I'm glad to still be part of this community, this feels like the perfect finale, the lyrics just hits hard, I'll never leave you behind !
Not one person is here only for your FNAF music my good sir. You have bangers across multiple series, your fans will be with you forever. Even after FNAF, you'll still be here.
I said I'd e here for you no matter what you were going to fo in the future when I saw you make those Zelda and Undertale albums and I won't be stopping now. I discovered you in 2012 and you helped me through so much. There's no way I'm leaving you behind. You never left me behind.
Nathan Sharp, thank you for all of the amazing music over these past few years. Keep spreading your wings. It'll work out wonderful. Not sure how much it matters, but I'm at least one person who will still be rooting for you.
Nate;
I'm in my final years of high school, and I found you through your FNaF music when I was in fourth grade. It's been 7 years, and I can tell you that it's been an incredible ride. The nostalgia, the original albums, everything. Obviously you're doing something right if you've kept me here this long.
I'll miss the video game songs, but I cannot wait for more original stuff. This song definitely assured that I'll be sticking around. I, and everyone else, is rooting for you and is so excited for the future.
Cheers, my friend 🎉
Holy hell this hits hard. I can tell how this is you just wanting to move on. It's amazing. Plus the Salvaged reference was amazing. I can't wait to see your next projects. Have a good day man
This channel got me through some dark Times, now i hope you can get out of these dark times You're in Nate. We'll never leave you behind.
Thank you nate. I am an italian boy who discovered you at the age of 8. Now i'm 15, and you are still my favourite singer. I loved everything you have made, from the fandom songs to the original ones like "dream alone" which is, alongside this one and basically the whole "paid in exposure" album, my favourite song of yours. No, i won't leave you behind. You and this songs are part of me and I can't forget what helped me through this years. I'm almost crying while writing this. Thanks for your passion, for your dedition, and for everything. I will continue to follow Nathan sharp, but I won't forget natewantstobattle❤
Your voice and lyrics are the reason why I listen, not what the song is based on
wish this wasn't labelled as a fnaf song cuz it isn't, it's about nate being shackled down by a genre (nerdcore). im so glad he's going to pursue his own original music instead of staying and doing nerdcore and covers. his work in sonic frontiers, being one way dream, is the best start to that journey.
Todays the day. It’s a bit bittersweet. I first discovered Nate in the gtlive collab, with chubby bunny, but I never super got into the fandom stuff. I listened to his songs when they’d show up, but I really only actively started listening when the game grump covers came out. I’m looking forward to whatever direction he moves in, and anything else from this channel in general.
what drew me to nates music was the fact i could relate to some of the lyrics, not because it was fandom music.
chase your dreams nate, those who was here for you for your music style will remain.
This gave me chills. It perfectly straddled the line of nostalgia and heartbreaking.
The symbolism in this song holy fuck it's genius. This isn't even a FNAF song it's literally your perspective on the series and how it affected you mentally and I love it. It's ok that your moving on from FNAF and in all honesty it's a step in the right direction. I wish you well Nate
This is most definitely a song about not only FNAF, but also Nate's mental health. Truthfully I don't know what's going on, but even though this song is awesome, I'm worried and I hope Nate gets better. This will be the last FNAF album and I'm honestly okay with that, go ahead and grow with your music Nate!
This is Nate's "Rolling Girl" (a farewell to a music genre) and it makes me tear up. Thanks for sharing your feelings, Nate.
I spent half the song trying to figure out what this has to do with FNAF, before I realized that aside from the visuals, this is just about NateWantsToBattle. About his journey to where he is now, and why he's deciding to stop. Do what's good for you man, and thank you for the songs you've given us.
we wont, even if you stop, your pieces are timeless
