I'm so happy you went to see him in concert! It's really sweet being able to watch you get more and more into his music over time. I have been listening to NF since 2014-2015ish and this tour was my third time seeing him in concert. Love seeing his music spreading and gaining traction! He's been so underrated in the past and is finally gaining the recognition he deserves!
Yes! Another great reaction of NF! I really like your reactions. While other people react on the beat and raps, you do that, and react on the cinematic views of it.
Thank you so much for bringing your personal experience into this song. It dabbles in a few topics but I honestly think "Leave Me Alone" is a song that really centres around Nate's OCD, especially as he discusses the balloons - his doubts ("fill balloons up full of doubt") - in the hook. As you probably know, OCD is "the doubt disorder." My interpretation of the chorus is that he wants to be able to let go of his doubts, his intrusive thoughts, but the idea of letting go of his obsessions is excrutiating; the most terrifying idea for an OCD sufferer is to let the fear go because everything inside you says that something worse might happen if you don't pay attention to it. All of that internal turmoil has him screaming at his doubts to LEAVE ME ALONE. I've found enormous solace in this song during my OCD journey. Hearing my experience expressed and yelling alongside him was a cathartic experience. Seeing him perform this live had me in tears more than any other song as I remembered all the times this song gave me the strength to keep going. That's my take anyway.
Thank you so much for appreciating his work. Finally someone sees the way and manner NF uses in his songs and talk about his cinematic views! I get feed up when my friends say NF is trash and his songs aren't good. It hurts to see some people don't recognize his creativity
It's a run down amusement park. You can see the turnstiles in the beginning as he is approaching and it cuts to him inside and you can see them more clear behind him Later in the video you can see the roller coaster in the background Amusement Parks are known for fun, adventure, childhood. I see the video as his reflection on the world around him (thru his lens) while all the voices in his head are weighing him down. He moves the cart faster in the beginning, than later his fans are helping push the cart and by the end of the video he is almost dragging it. Weight from his burdens that he wants to just Leave Him Alone
Jonathan, This is one of my favs of Nates, video is ....what can I say.... awesome...was so happy for you being able to go to NF 's. Concert in Denver, We saw him in Atlanta ( Duluth) His live shows are epic!!!!
I lived in Germany (Mannheim) for 2 years while in the Army. I loved every minute I was there. If you haven't went yet please go....you will have the time of your life.
I love your reactions, Jonathan. I learn from you and even though I have heard the songs you react to multiple times I get goosebumps again when I see you react to the songs. Thank you, love it. :)
NF is one of my favorites. Have you heard of a band called Sabaton? The way they film their music videos they're like little movies. So sabaton song 1916 I think you might enjoy it.
I love that song (anything NF does really! I just got home from work & I was listening to NF all the way home & that was one of the songs I listened to on repeat! I'd LOVE to see him in concert.
I was an extra in this music video and let me just say, watching this be filmed was one of the coolest things ever!!! It’s crazy how well they edited the lighting as it was partly cloudy but it was super bright in the sunny patches
i love when you give little tips and explain things educationally, as an aspiring videographer and huge NF fan this series is my favorite on youtube!! i love heading you react, keep it up!
@@itsjonhiller Also, I know you mentioned the interesting location a couple times. It’s an abandoned theme park; the former Six Flags New Orleans that was destroyed in Katrina. Loved the video though!
Trust me, i have watched this music video thousands of times and never saw this many beautiful technical brilliant shots. Thanks to you brother, keep up the great work ❤
Well heck yeah Jonathan. After my first NF concert ever this past weekend in Denver, I was just on such a high from the music. A few days ago I found your channel and binged every NF reaction video you had... and then bam, today you drop another excellent breakdown. Super grateful sir! Thanks a million for the real quality analysis and overview of why these music videos are so darn powerful. You are very articulate and very understandable in your dissemination of the reasons for the directorial choices and how they give power to the music. Appreciate it!!
Awesome reaction as always. My wife abd i went to the Salt Lake city show and had a blast. Appreciate your perspective on the videos and glad you saw NF in concert.
You gotta do ‘How could you leave us’ by NF. There’s more of his story for you to learn in the film inspired way you react to. Might clear up the song ‘MAMA’ you heard in the concert you went to.
Yeahhh! Great reaction again!🤩 It would be interesting for you to react to MOTTO-Behind the scenes to see a filmmaker s perspective in the process of making a video!
loved it. thank you for the insight. I think the backdrop is an abandoned amusement park, but it def gives off a mental health hospital vibe to it with all the mental health references. peace
I just want to drop in here and say I LOVE your videos. Thank you for coming along on NF's journey. You are so informative, thank you for sharing. Much love!
4:30 oh...... well... TIL i may have OCD lmao.... honestly, like, with how paralyzed i am with how much i overthink, i should probably get diagnosed for this lmao. i had no idea those things were OCD. wow Lol i just came here because i loved how you broke down the filmography(?) of the music videos that NF made, because i loveeeee how directors can give so much power and life to ideas through this medium. but here i am learning something about myself Lol 6:50 oh. my. god. do you do film ANDDDD neurology? you are like the manifestation of my dream LMAO this is now my new favorite channel, not even close
I always look forward to your reactions and I just got so excited to find out we were at the same concert. It was awesome and I’m glad you went hahaha ❤
The first two notes remind me so much of the Alien soundtrack of the first scene of the long camera movements through the ship. These sounds immediately build tension. Love your reactions. It is so interesting to learn about the details you pick up.
Interpretation I see in the video: - painted smile = masking - giving away balloons & wiping smile - seemed almost like a medicated state of numbness - black clothes - internalized burdens & their effects
Im happy as well, u did get to see him! I cant wait!! I subscribed. LEARNING!! LOL as a graphic artist, and a BB fan (seen it over 10x. I say that with courage and a teeny nit of embarrassment!) U seem so CHILL! I think all creatives, including me, suffer with a little "offness!" Oh please take no offense, im sure there r plenty that r completely fine, but what is the definition of FINE! AND b4 i forget, im going to LIKE this video! 😊
Great reaction. I appreciate your expertise in regards to video, very interesting. Just for story context I can share what my opinion is in the video. People in white are those who have found hope and carry on through their lives with a couple burdens. They eventually are able to take off their fake smile. They try to get NF to find hope and push him to the lineups. But NF just walks past them....not ready or doesn't see it. At the end the hand reaching out for NF's burdens represents God. The Bible tells us to surrender our burdens to God...NF tries yet looks back maybe concerned how others see him.
Great reaction and love your videos keep the good work! I would also love to see more of Falling In Reverse reactions like Zombified, The Drug In Me Is Reimagined and Popular Monster
Hey I just found your channel I absolutely love your reactions and how excited you get from watching my favourite rapper nf. I have a request for you I hope you see this. Can you please react to nf - real I would like to hear your opinion on the video because it’s in one place and it never gets boring it’s very capturing how he is staying in the same location and also making the video so diverse and interesting . keep up the good work, you definitely won a new subscriber ❤❤ two more suggestions. The search and how could you leave us I hope you see this 😂❤❤
I LOVE your reactions and information and these videos. I think you might wanna watch the Short Movies that the studio of League of Legends, Riot Games, puts out. They are always crazy good and have been awesome ever since i watched them.
Hey Jonathan how about you react to NF- Therapy Session, the video is an absolut masterpiece in my eyes and I want to see what a filmmaker is saying about that one.
Please take a look at Shin Wooseok's MV 's for New Jeans - especially Cool with You parts A & B or Ditto Parts 1 & 2. I think you would appreciate not only the quality of the video and story but also the overarching universe created by New Jeans.
I'm so happy you went to see him in concert! It's really sweet being able to watch you get more and more into his music over time. I have been listening to NF since 2014-2015ish and this tour was my third time seeing him in concert. Love seeing his music spreading and gaining traction!

Real lucky. Haven’t seen a concert , would love to go!
Yes! Another great reaction of NF! I really like your reactions. While other people react on the beat and raps, you do that, and react on the cinematic views of it.
thanks so much!
Agreed bro I like how he goes in depth into all the cinematic work that goes into NF's Videos!
Once again real music, real pro reaction thanks 😊 for sharing…
my pleasure!
I believe this was actually filmed at the abandoned Six Flags in New Orleans! Which definitely adds to the "vibe" in the video
Thank you so much for bringing your personal experience into this song. It dabbles in a few topics but I honestly think "Leave Me Alone" is a song that really centres around Nate's OCD, especially as he discusses the balloons - his doubts ("fill balloons up full of doubt") - in the hook.

i really love your NF reactions, keep reacting to more NF video clips please and keep up the good work
thank you so much!
I love your NF reactions. Your insights actually make me believe you see and understand him... Great attention to detail, fam.
Thank you so much for appreciating his work.
Finally someone sees the way and manner NF uses in his songs and talk about his cinematic views!
I get feed up when my friends say NF is trash and his songs aren't good. It hurts to see some people don't recognize his creativity
Glad you went to see him live, I've seen him twice. He's great live.
I used to live in Stuttgart when I was a child. My dad was stationed there!
This is filmed at Six Flags in New Orleans. It was destroyed by Hurricane Katrina!
It's a run down amusement park. You can see the turnstiles in the beginning as he is approaching and it cuts to him inside and you can see them more clear behind him
Later in the video you can see the roller coaster in the background
Amusement Parks are known for fun, adventure, childhood. I see the video as his reflection on the world around him (thru his lens) while all the voices in his head are weighing him down. He moves the cart faster in the beginning, than later his fans are helping push the cart and by the end of the video he is almost dragging it.

Jonathan, This is one of my favs of Nates, video is ....what can I say.... awesome...was so happy for you being able to go to NF 's. Concert in Denver, We saw him in Atlanta ( Duluth) His live shows are epic!!!!
that's so awesome! he was unreal in Denver..
Can't wait 😁
🙏
I am on my journey to binge every NF related video by you
Greetings from Germany :)
I lived in Germany (Mannheim) for 2 years while in the Army. I loved every minute I was there. If you haven't went yet please go....you will have the time of your life.
You made me respect NF's video's way more....and he deserves it.
NF is definitely my favorite rapper both in his actual music and in his videos.
NF is beautiful. His work is outstanding
He is truly the greatest
I love when I see a hand held camera…especially when they used it in the newer stranger things season at a very intense moment
Great as always, cant wait for more NF reactions
I love your reactions, Jonathan. I learn from you and even though I have heard the songs you react to multiple times I get goosebumps again when I see you react to the songs.
Thank you, love it. :)
NF is one of my favorites. Have you heard of a band called Sabaton? The way they film their music videos they're like little movies. So sabaton song 1916 I think you might enjoy it.

POV you love NF and work at a theme park so you know exactly where this was filmed from the opening shot
I’m from Germany. And we‘ll see NF in Hamburg. Danke für Deine tolle „Reaction“. Bis zum nächsten NF-Video/Film. I loved it! Thanks a lot.
I was an extra in this music video and let me just say, watching this be filmed was one of the coolest things ever!!! It’s crazy how well they edited the lighting as it was partly cloudy but it was super bright in the sunny patches
i love when you give little tips and explain things educationally, as an aspiring videographer and huge NF fan this series is my favorite on youtube!! i love heading you react, keep it up!
Yay more NF! it still baffles me how you haven't done the search yet tho.
Immer Gute und nicht nur unterhaltsame, sondern auch informative Reaktionen von dir - vielen Dank für den Einblick! (german here ;D)
After this one it has to be The Search next… excited for this one though! Love your stuff!
thanks so much!
@@itsjonhiller Also, I know you mentioned the interesting location a couple times. It’s an abandoned theme park; the former Six Flags New Orleans that was destroyed in Katrina. Loved the video though!
Love your channel. NF is a Boss.
Love your NF reactions!
Can’t wait to see NF myself when he’s in the Netherlands 🎈
Greetings from Stuttgart 🎉
my voicemail has been “HEYY, LEAVE ME ALONE!” for like 3 months 😂😂😂
everything that comes out of Germany is so awesome my moms part of the family is from there
YAY .. Im so glad to see another NF reaction from you.. its been to long ❤
I saw him on Seattle this last week. Great show
Trust me, i have watched this music video thousands of times and never saw this many beautiful technical brilliant shots. Thanks to you brother, keep up the great work ❤
You need to watch the search. If you like, leave me alone, the search video comes before leave me alone. Both music videos are connected.
Excellent insights from a filmmaker's perspective. I really enjoyed this breakdown!

That was a great concert! I saw him in OKC for the Clouds tour and it was so cool to see him pack a much larger venue. 😊
Awesome reaction as always. My wife abd i went to the Salt Lake city show and had a blast. Appreciate your perspective on the videos and glad you saw NF in concert.
You gotta do ‘How could you leave us’ by NF. There’s more of his story for you to learn in the film inspired way you react to. Might clear up the song ‘MAMA’ you heard in the concert you went to.
Wow…thank you. I learned so much here.
I got to see him in concert in Boston and I loved it so much! My friend and I had lots of fun and I loved hearing this song live!
Yeahhh! Great reaction again!🤩 It would be interesting for you to react to MOTTO-Behind the scenes to see a filmmaker s perspective in the process of making a video!
loved it. thank you for the insight. I think the backdrop is an abandoned amusement park, but it def gives off a mental health hospital vibe to it with all the mental health references. peace
Love your videos love NF!

I just want to drop in here and say I LOVE your videos. Thank you for coming along on NF's journey. You are so informative, thank you for sharing. Much love!
Thank you so much to bring us a great perspective through the eyes of you. Very insightful. Keep up with the most excellent work!❤

I always look forward to your reactions and I just got so excited to find out we were at the same concert. It was awesome and I’m glad you went hahaha ❤
How tf did NF write these songs..... Genius
The first two notes remind me so much of the Alien soundtrack of the first scene of the long camera movements through the ship. These sounds immediately build tension.
Love your reactions. It is so interesting to learn about the details you pick up.
Nice i live near to Stuttgart would love to see you there.
About time u did more NF. We've been waiting patiently. Great reaction!!
Yoo you look like a very chill guy
Interpretation I see in the video:
- painted smile = masking
- giving away balloons & wiping smile - seemed almost like a medicated state of numbness
- black clothes - internalized burdens & their effects
Love your reaction! Very entertaining and informative! Hope you'll have a great time here in germany :D!
Im happy as well, u did get to see him! I cant wait!! I subscribed. LEARNING!! LOL as a graphic artist, and a BB fan (seen it over 10x. I say that with courage and a teeny nit of embarrassment!) U seem so CHILL! I think all creatives, including me, suffer with a little "offness!" Oh please take no offense, im sure there r plenty that r completely fine, but what is the definition of FINE!
AND b4 i forget, im going to LIKE this video! 😊

I just saw the NF concert too! also if I remember correctly, the setting was six flags in.. Califronia?
Looking forward to seeing what your explanation iS
Great reaction. I appreciate your expertise in regards to video, very interesting.
Just for story context I can share what my opinion is in the video.
People in white are those who have found hope and carry on through their lives with a couple burdens. They eventually are able to take off their fake smile.
They try to get NF to find hope and push him to the lineups. But NF just walks past them....not ready or doesn't see it.
At the end the hand reaching out for NF's burdens represents God. The Bible tells us to surrender our burdens to God...NF tries yet looks back maybe concerned how others see him.
Great reaction and love your videos keep the good work! I would also love to see more of Falling In Reverse reactions like Zombified, The Drug In Me Is Reimagined and Popular Monster
Oh.. And in this reaction, your shirt matched yor eyes. 😂
I love that you go more and more into depth with the cinematography analysis! Liebe Grüße aus Hamburg, ich hoffe du magst es in Deutschland!
You should do a reaction to the movie 1917. I think that the camera work is stunning in that movie.
How was seeing him in person?!? I'd like to one day.
Maybe then it's cool for you to hear, that you also have followers from Germany! :)
Hey I just found your channel I absolutely love your reactions and how excited you get from watching my favourite rapper nf. I have a request for you I hope you see this.

You gotta do The Search by NF!!
Concert was amazing wasn't it 😉. We loved it
I'd like to see your reaction to so far away by avenged sevenfold. I love how you give a new perspective to my favorite songs.
Hey Jonathan how about you react to NF- Therapy Session, the video is an absolut masterpiece in my eyes and I want to see what a filmmaker is saying about that one.

Please take a look at Shin Wooseok's MV 's for New Jeans - especially Cool with You parts A & B or Ditto Parts 1 & 2. I think you would appreciate not only the quality of the video and story but also the overarching universe created by New Jeans.
Pl saw react to more of the weekend. His music videos are masterpieces.
