Alpha Wolf yeah I came back to see that he has something so great he’s done so well I remember jamming out to his Pokémon covers and now it’s just like wow I’m so happy for him
I'm a simple girl, Nate extends his hand towards the screen, I extend my hand also. I guess there's an element of NateMare here but also just..I see a huge tone from the album of selling out, changing your style to fit the media, and seeing a shell of who you thought you were when you look in the mirror? They even have their hair combed different ways.
Well that's pretty much the entire premise of Paid in Exposure isn't it? You're literally paid in "exposure" by following the trend and all that. My guess is that other version of Nate is the future Nate, or even alternate future, when he's fully given into the industry standard and is now all banged up and wrecked. How's about we call him alterNate?
@@krisfancello1462 I'm being serious. Well actually i have one person or two i would consider a friend/friends although i bare ever talk to one of them and the other one lives in another country so yeah.
Just a slight easter egg but he has different hairstyles in the video that he had in past videos,showing the "shell he used to be."Love the music nate,keep going.
I couldnt help but giggle when nate kept waving his hand about in that one scene, it radiates so much dumbass energy i love him Edit: its at about 2:12 if anyone wants it
I have been watching Nate for years now. And it's crazy to see how far he's come. (I really miss watching his gaming channel, but still I'm happy he's growing)
When I listened to the song, I felt your pain. Now that I'm looking at the video, dear God I can see the way you feel about it. I love it! I almost wanted to cry for the way you sang the song in the video. Love it! Can't wait for more!
Okay so I know this song is about Paultin but I'm SUPER behind on DCA so I'm very concerned. Incredible as always, Nate! This gave me chills and I love it.
Heavy nods to paultin but not actually about him. Nate says this song is about a period of time where he had what one would call an out of body experience. He watched as "someone else" used his body to hurt his friends. Exactly how far behind?
Was almost expecting Nate to be wearing his Paultin costume since this is heavily inspired by the Ring of Winter Arc from Season 3 of Dice Camera Action
Well he does show Paultin in some kind of way :) First, there is Paultins Necklace with the Ring that Evelyn gave him and a gear. You can see that he's wearing it, it's the same leather string. Also, watch out for his Hairstyle. Did you ever notice that when he is on stage with the others, that his Hair looks different? It's more likely to fall flat face down instead of the more upstyle he normally has. That's also a wink to Paultin. And last but not least, his body posture. It's also different, not really noticeable but it's there.
Lyrics: Can you believe In something that you can’t even see Can you agree We’re part of something bigger than you and me I’ll take the long road home That’s lined with blood and snow I’ve become so numb That I can’t even feel the cold You can give and take Crack my bones but my heart won’t break now Don’t commit no crime Find me innocent but still I serve my time I think I believe Now I can feel it speaking to me My reasoning Is logical like it’s all in my dreams I’ll take the long road home That’s lined with blood and snow Am I forever young Or will I simply fade before I’m old You can give and take Crack my bones but my heart won’t break now Don’t commit no crime Find me innocent but still I serve my time Would you never die If you lived a life Frozen and empty What you waiting for When you start a war And you’re your own worst enemy Crack my bones but my heart won’t break now Don’t commit no crime Throw me innocent but still I serve my time The mirror’s always showing me A shell of who I used to be I’ll take the long road home That’s lined with blood and snow I’ve become so numb That I can’t even feel the cold I’ll take the long road home That’s lined with blood and snow Am I forever young Or will I simply fade before I’m old You can give and take Crack my bones but my heart won’t break now Don’t commit no crime Find me innocent but still I serve my time Would you never die If you lived a life Frozen and empty What you waiting for When you start a war And you’re your own worst enemy Would you never die If you lived a life Frozen and empty What you fighting for When you start a war And you’re your own worst enemy
He changed my life to. Ever since i was bullied at my school I've been listening to nates music. It's just so up lifting to me and it's just helped me get through the most depressing moments in my life. So thank you nate, thank you so much ,for everything
That is a good theory. I feel like the whole album is one big story about the rise and fall of fame so maybe the music videos are panting that picture for us to see. I look at it like this Until The Wolfs Come Out is the beginning of a man having fun with his life and music and is discovered by fame and then we end with Bones a broken shell (No pun intended) of a man who has seen everything fame has to offer but also has seen the consequents of fame and is not himself anymore and is desperate to fix everything and to get life back to normal but sees that nothing will ever be normal again in the end. Well, that's just my take on it anyway.
This is one of my favourite songs, period. Love the Paultin inspiration very much. Even though the song isn't really about Paultin and was inspired by an out of body experience that Nate had, it still fits Paultin especially after the Ring of Winter Arc.
I love this song so much!!! It really reminds my of my struggle with OCD. Both the lyrics and the overall emotions just describe what I felt to a T. When the song came out I was hospitalised in a psychiatric ward (open butt still) and the song almost made me cry!!! It’s amazing hearing it now and realising how far I’ve come! Plus it’s based on Paultins experience with the ring of winter and he’s my favourite dca character!!!
This has been my favourite song since the album came out, this is now one of my favourite music videos. It was so beautifully filmed and edited, Nate’s acting and facial expressions were so perfect. This is genuinely a truly amazing video and I’m so proud of Nate for how much he’s grown.
I love how this song made a trend out of Nate's two albums (a good trend), with both albums ending with a song so vastly different from the rest of the album (with Sandcastle Kingdoms being the last track of Sandcastle Kingdoms), it gives the album a whole new freshness and taste before sending it off. I love it!
The first time I heard this song I didn’t like it, but I kept listening to it over and over, because it was rather strange for me, and now I have the whole song memorized
God, I love this music video so much. It portrays Nate in such a vulnerable and broken manner so much so that we can truly tell that he is, indeed, a human that is broken and hurting like the rest of us. Truly a masterpiece. Well done.
Words can't even begin to describe how amazing this is! The camera work is high quality, the lighting was perfect for all of the different Nathans in their environments, and the environment itself goes perfectly with the attitude of the song. Well done to everyone that was part of the production of this video. You all did a phenomenal job! 😍
I JUST NOTICED in the beginning when Nate is sitting on the ground in the room Nate is normal Nate like healthy but at the end he's the battered and bruised Nate that's all torn up and hopeless and that's what the video leaves his image as
I thought the beginning was Paultin when he found the Ring of Winter then the change in the middle was the ring taking control of him and the end was after the ring was taken away and he had to deal with everything the ring made him do.
Oh my god Nate this is amazing! This is hands down my favorite song from Paid in Exposure, and you really showed the emotion behind it in this video. Best video to date. (Btw sorry I'm a little late I was in class when I got the notification.)
Anyone else notice how much he talks about mirrors in his songs? the ones I can think of off the top of my head are; Branded, Bones, and I'm pretty sure in Dream Alone too.
This video was incredible. The symbolism, the videography, your conveyance of emotions, all of it was absolutely phenomenal. It gave me chills. And, of course, your song is still freaking deep and amazing, that goes without saying. It hits deep down in the heart, and this video made it go even deeper. Applause to you and everyone involved in this.💙
I just love the hints in Paid in Exposure. Bones, clearly heavy hints to Paultin. This is clearly the Ring of Winter Arc. The Wrecked and the Worried has also hinted to him. Alone his puppet Strix had made, the Necklace he's wearing, same as he's wearing here, with Evelyn family ring and gear. And other Songs that may be linked to D&D and Paultin in specific. Could be a coincidence but it fits: Smoke and Guns ("You've got me slipping through your fingers like I'm made of sand ") Phantom (Chris quoted lines in Dice Camera Action)
I love everything about this I almost started crying.... The pain in Nate's face just made me hurt so much. Great acting! The song has a lot in it that you might not notice at first, which I love! Great song! The symbolism in this video is super cool to try and figure out, so I'll be having fun with that. Great vid! Overall 20/10
So much symbolism! I loved it, but I'm going to need to watch few dozen more times to absorb it all. What a lovely excuse to keep this on loop all day!
When you pick this song to show people who never listened to any other song of nathan's you can clearly sse the moment their opinions go from "the instruments are horrible picks" to "OMG HOW IS THIS AMAZING
I’d say more Panic. I mean, with how many covers he’s done of them, the way Nate sings, hell his on stage persona, his inspiration from Brendon Urie is crystal clear
God...I fell in love with Nate years ago. My feelings still haven’t changed even though I know it’ll just never happen. Wishes can become dreams but it’s rare they become real. Keep singing, Nate. I can settle with just that as long as you’re happy. Love you.
This made me smile when I was sad. I was telling my mom about bad thoughts I was thinking and I was thinking watching Nate will help. Keep up the good work!
I suggest the name of this Nate as Shell. He is the beaten shell of our beloved Nathan, the one that takes all the damage and blows from media and the one that takes the hits from when Nate isn’t himself. Shell is like...a protector. Nathan sees him in the mirror and sees how much hurt he feels and has caused, but Shell takes the bulk of it, therefore letting Nate continue on this journey. Nathan sees Shell, and he is his own worst enemy because some of it is from things he’s done(he admits). But for us, we don’t always see Shell. Which is the point. We see Nate. Because Shell protects him.
Oh my goodness. I just... I can't even. I can't even. I love it so much. So much emotion. So much going on. Awesome as always. You could never disappoint. I gasped, I felt the pain, I was drawn in more than I ever thought I would. Just... Just... AAAAAAAHHHHH!
nate... just a few words.. i dont know if you will ever see them but whatever.. thanks for making these beatiful song! ya know, i listen and sing to them like everyday. right know im an almost 14 year old boy in germany that almost killed himself and hates his freakin live... and if anyone comes with :"yeah puberty" i dont think puberty is the reason for my sucide thoughts.. but back to the theme... i love singing.. im not good at it but when i sing i can feel my emotions floating through the sky and my loung. im very sensible with the music... your voice... your apperance.. your .. JUST EVERYTHING is so good and its stealing my breath. everytime i hear a song from you i just wanna sing, dance and feel all the power behind your music... ya know, your music is saving me from the sucide... just thank you nate your a great man with an beatiful voice and i- nah! we alle love you but especiall me
Still as amazing everytime especially his especially drop the beat and get louder just yesss. If DA games and Nate did a video of just the two that would be epic video on how much their voices go so well with dropping the beat. Love ya work Nate so much never stop.

I like how one nate uses his current hairstyle and the other uses his old hair style. Brings back memories from when i first found this channel
It is really cool and I didn't notice it until I looked back
Yeah i noticed that
I have seen that when he looked up but looks cute though right
I found his channel when I was 7 and I fell in love with his music
Is it?
It feels like just yesterday he was just a guy singing covers for pokemon songs. God he's come so far.
Yeah now he sings big things like the offical op for dragonball super
@@shmooples2741 yeah, he a big boy now XD
Here we are in the future lol plz say you get the joke

THIS HAS BEEN A BLESSED YEAR IN WHICH WE HAVE BEEN GIVEN GREAT MUSIC BY NATE💙💙💙💙

So true
With that logic every year since 2013 has been a blessed year

Blessed year. Forget the year of the dog or whatever, I want the year of the Nate
Just a slight easter egg but he has different hairstyles in the video that he had in past videos,showing the "shell he used to be."Love the music nate,keep going.

The 2 sides of Nate the one on camera and cleaned up and the other whom we don't know and looks near broken
Probably Paultin after the Ring of Winter was taken away from him & he has to deal with the aftermath of everything.
One is current Nate. Other is old and beaten up Nate.
yES MY FAVOURITE SONG HAS A VIDEO WOO
I feel you on this one
1:28
His facial expressions never change! 😂
Best song on the album, thanks for making a video!
Bones is also my favorite song from the album, it’s so good!
I like Dream alone
I like until the wolves come out and paid in exposure. All of the songs are fantastic.
I have been watching Nate for years now. And it's crazy to see how far he's come. (I really miss watching his gaming channel, but still I'm happy he's growing)

Lyrics:
Can you believe
In something that you can’t even see
Can you agree
We’re part of something bigger than you and me
I’ll take the long road home
That’s lined with blood and snow
I’ve become so numb
That I can’t even feel the cold
You can give and take
Crack my bones but my heart won’t break now
Don’t commit no crime
Find me innocent but still I serve my time
I think I believe
Now I can feel it speaking to me
My reasoning
Is logical like it’s all in my dreams
I’ll take the long road home
That’s lined with blood and snow
Am I forever young
Or will I simply fade before I’m old
You can give and take
Crack my bones but my heart won’t break now
Don’t commit no crime
Find me innocent but still I serve my time
Would you never die
If you lived a life
Frozen and empty
What you waiting for
When you start a war
And you’re your own worst enemy
Crack my bones but my heart won’t break now
Don’t commit no crime
Throw me innocent but still I serve my time
The mirror’s always showing me
A shell of who I used to be
I’ll take the long road home
That’s lined with blood and snow
I’ve become so numb
That I can’t even feel the cold
I’ll take the long road home
That’s lined with blood and snow
Am I forever young
Or will I simply fade before I’m old
You can give and take
Crack my bones but my heart won’t break now
Don’t commit no crime
Find me innocent but still I serve my time
Would you never die
If you lived a life
Frozen and empty
What you waiting for
When you start a war
And you’re your own worst enemy
Would you never die
If you lived a life
Frozen and empty
What you fighting for
When you start a war
And you’re your own worst enemy

I personally like all of them, I can't pick a favorite
I like how when he's looking in the mirror he waves his hand around.
It just seems like such a Nate thing to do
Natemares origin?
Edit: anyone else swear that these music videos are somehow connected to make a story?
(Probably just me wanting them too connect)
Jacob Seong I want them to as well!
I feel like they do, I've been trying to put something together in my head, but I don't have enough music videos to connect it together logically
If they are, then is Phantom the endgame where NateMare takes over and reks havok among the world?
That is a good theory. I feel like the whole album is one big story about the rise and fall of fame so maybe the music videos are panting that picture for us to see.
I look at it like this Until The Wolfs Come Out is the beginning of a man having fun with his life and music and is discovered by fame and then we end with Bones a broken shell (No pun intended) of a man who has seen everything fame has to offer but also has seen the consequents of fame and is not himself anymore and is desperate to fix everything and to get life back to normal but sees that nothing will ever be normal again in the end.

I just love the hints in Paid in Exposure.
Bones, clearly heavy hints to Paultin. This is clearly the Ring of Winter Arc.
The Wrecked and the Worried has also hinted to him. Alone his puppet Strix had made, the Necklace he's wearing, same as he's wearing here, with Evelyn family ring and gear.
And other Songs that may be linked to D&D and Paultin in specific. Could be a coincidence but it fits:
Smoke and Guns ("You've got me slipping through your fingers like I'm made of sand
")
Phantom (Chris quoted lines in Dice Camera Action)
can we just agree that this man has and is bringing so many people so much joy
I really love this video! It just captures the struggle that someone who is being mind conttolled must feel like. Poor Paultin...
Yes but nate has said it's not directly about paultin, only has heavy nods to him
Though master troll lord he is he likes to allude that it does
Same here!!!
I love everything about this I almost started crying....
The pain in Nate's face just made me hurt so much. Great acting!
The song has a lot in it that you might not notice at first, which I love! Great song!
The symbolism in this video is super cool to try and figure out, so I'll be having fun with that. Great vid!
Overall 20/10
2:19 Reflection.exe has stopped working.
So much symbolism! I loved it, but I'm going to need to watch few dozen more times to absorb it all. What a lovely excuse to keep this on loop all day!
Pinkie Power 😊😊😊
3:10 you can see him just slowly break down.
When you pick this song to show people who never listened to any other song of nathan's you can clearly sse the moment their opinions go from "the instruments are horrible picks" to "OMG HOW IS THIS AMAZING
I'm a simple man. When Nate uploads a video I simply watch it, leave a comment and leave a like.
WHY IS THIS MAN NOT AN INTERNATIONAL SUPERSTAR YET???!!!
After three years it’s still a masterpiece
Great Halloween gift, thank you Nate!!!
3:57 always gives me chills!
Calling it now. Nate is the next Imagine Dragons.
More like Panic
I’d say more Panic. I mean, with how many covers he’s done of them, the way Nate sings, hell his on stage persona, his inspiration from Brendon Urie is crystal clear
Please, Nate is the next Panic! at The Disco!
Or panic at the disco
I can't believe I'm just now hearing this song. It made me feel something. IT MADE ME FEEL.
You're unbelievably talented in so many areas. I love the feeling conveyed in this song.
I been watching this man since I was 11 bro this feels crazy
Stop everything! My favorite song from the PIE album is a video now!!!!!
@Lovisa Karvanen I just got a square but I'll assume it was supposed to be a pie, a slice of pie, or a pi all of which are hilarious
@Lovisa Karvanen I see it now. Had to change devices. Weird. Now I want pie.
Definetly worth all the wait! Good job Nate! I love the passion in the video!
God...I fell in love with Nate years ago. My feelings still haven’t changed even though I know it’ll just never happen. Wishes can become dreams but it’s rare they become real. Keep singing, Nate. I can settle with just that as long as you’re happy. Love you.
It seems Natewantstobattle means fighting his inner demons from the past so he doesn't 'fade before I'm old'
This was totally wicking!!!
Also 2 Nate's :D
(Will there be more PiE music videos? I love these. :D)
This made me smile when I was sad. I was telling my mom about bad thoughts I was thinking and I was thinking watching Nate will help. Keep up the good work!
Omg so fucking good!!! That looked so good too ughhh so cinematic. Keep up the good work boi❤❤❤
your FAT Jennifer no bad things
I suggest the name of this Nate as Shell. He is the beaten shell of our beloved Nathan, the one that takes all the damage and blows from media and the one that takes the hits from when Nate isn’t himself. Shell is like...a protector. Nathan sees him in the mirror and sees how much hurt he feels and has caused, but Shell takes the bulk of it, therefore letting Nate continue on this journey. Nathan sees Shell, and he is his own worst enemy because some of it is from things he’s done(he admits). But for us, we don’t always see Shell. Which is the point. We see Nate. Because Shell protects him.
Oh my goodness. I just... I can't even. I can't even. I love it so much. So much emotion. So much going on. Awesome as always. You could never disappoint. I gasped, I felt the pain, I was drawn in more than I ever thought I would. Just... Just... AAAAAAAHHHHH!
Chills, literal chills, your music and covers help me cope with my anxiety, you have the voice of an angel
when he says Ill take the long road home its reminds me of some lyrics from Take Me Anywhere
