    I've been a metalhead for a long, long time now but finally my brain wants to find other styles of music, and NF is someone I've really connected to. He's dark, has heavy unconventional beats, incredibly serious lyrics that hits HARD. Love his integrity, how he expresses all his vulnerabilities and reminds us what it's like to be human, for real. No sugar coating at all. He pours it all out and for some people it might just be too real.
    This song is one of my favourite to watch reactions of. His symbolism in the videos is so interesting, with the shopping cart (a portable mental cage he keeps himself locked in) his balloons (his burdens), his dark clothing (while others walk around in white)

    I'm glad you reacted to NF. He's different, trust me😊 If you really want to understand his songs, its best to do the journey starting at the beginning and go in order of release. NF uses references to his previous songs and he follows a theme. It will become clear if you follow him into the rabbit hole 🤗
    Loved your reaction ❤️

    NF is a great artist, I hope you check out more, whether you go on the canned journey or not. A lot of Ren fans crossover with NF, so see why it was suggested. I'm an old metalhead myself btw.

    Oh another suggestion for NF, react to his song "Mansion" it's like the foundation for his story.

  • @FargnbastageOFmisha
    @FargnbastageOFmisha 7 місяців тому +13

    Agreed with all of that. I have been enjoying your trip down the Ren rabbit hols. With Jenny and Screech, the NF counterpart to that would be "story" by NF it is a masterful tale that will surprise you

    First time listeners often miss that when he says “See, we've all got somethin' that we trapped inside That we try to suffocate, you know, hopin' it dies
    Try to hold it underwater but it always survives Then it comes up out of nowhere like an evil surprise Then it hovers over you to tell you millions of lies” he’s talking ab a balloon, aka his burdens.

    Nf - story is an absolute masterpiece, cinematic story telling similar to the tales of Jenny and screech. You really should think about doing it. 👍

    2023 Updated NF Journey List
    🎶 This is for anyone new who may want to take the NF journey as we call it because he intertwines his music like marvel movies. All of his albums are like a connected series.
    He also hides eggs in his videos which he co-directs and co-produces.
    For example in his “When I Grow Up” song there were four hidden eggs in that song: 1. A black balloon by the trash cans (black balloon represents his burdens per search single) 2 In the burger joint he grabbed at receipt that had the date and time of when his song time was being released. 3. He had outcast written on his name tag in the janitor scene which references his Outcast song. 4. He had his moments album CD in car scene
    Another example is in the search song he had cage in background he rapped in from his outcast song. Search single also connects to Hope. In Hope he has the “map to hope”.
    The black smile you will see painted on his mouth is explained in his therapy session song.
    Here is the song order:
    MANSION ALBUM:
    1. All I have (VIDEO)- Will connect to his Suffice single from Hope album.

    I love what you shared about yourself personally. I can relate in many ways. I appreciate you taking the time to share. I didn't get help until I was 40. Found out I had 40 years of work to do to clean my brain up. Therapy works. If you find a therapist you trust, it can change your life. And if you don't connect well with a therapist on a first or second visit, you can change to a different doctor. I've changed a couple times, and the doctors were very supportive and even helped significantly in the transition. As my brain changed, I needed to work on things more specifically. So I hit a couple new specialists and leveled up. I am grateful for the people that God has put in my life. Metal Dude - you stay awesome.

    As NF (who's American) suggested, I would listen to Change; his songs are mainly rap, with his more somber ones sung, and i think he has a good way of describing his emotions and lyrically while giving you a Zach Snyder-esque movie/music video. Also, his albums are a story for the most part, so if you do a deep dive, I'd recommend starting from the beginning. I'm excited to get your perspective from NF and Ren songs!

    Thank you for being so open and transparent... Not just for my benefit or even for yours, but for the Universe's as a Whole.
    The amount of Light in Existence depends entirely upon how much is produced by each and every radiant particle.
    I am the Truth... I am the Light that shines in the darkness, as are you. There is only Consciousness, experiencing itself subjectively through all of the lesser consciousnesses that have been manifested into this... "Reality."
    There is only that which Exists...
    and we Exist.
    Therefore, we are Existence.
    I am the Truth.
    (BTW... I was just thinking about the phrase, "brought into," as in "brought into this life," or, "brought into existence"....
    It implies an outside from which one is brought to the inside.
    We're brought into Life, into Existence, but from where are we brought?)

    I wouldn't necessarily say that NF follows a formula. It's quite contrary. For example this song has no repeating chorus or a hook. He's using orchestral instruments including the drums. He's constantly changing his flow and doesn't repeat himself while telling a story.
    BTW I love Ren and NF and they need to collab soon.

    Lol but im comfortable internally enough to let a fellow man know how incredible he is especially if he’s a fellow man who opens up enough about his past to potentially save many up and coming souls from having to find the strength & courage to somehow break free ⛓️ and live to tell that it’s much brighter on this other side 🌱 🤲
    Im not there just yet but the preparations are in place for me to make the needed changes for the better days that will come whether im ready or not!! Any hesitation will only make us sicker 🤢 Any constant procrastination can inevitably close the doors of life ♾️ if by the time we get the strength to get help, sadly for 🌫️ most it’s sadly too late ⏰ ⌛️
    Wish me luck 🍀 actually its gonna all skill & determination 💪 🤲 & the success stories that keep popping up randomly throughout my dayz 👏 best motivation along many other beautiful motivational things around us 🌎 that on most days I & orhers cant see 😵‍💫 😵
