Amazing That u only done this 3days ago and I only started listening 2 this song 3-4 days ago and can’t get it out my head yet it’s been around for 6 years 🙏
7 years ago, I committed to going to rehab , I didn't know when I got in , all i knew was something had to change . I had almost lost my wife and daughter , finally, I get the call , 8 or so months later . We can take you next wednesday .by now, my wife is 8 months pregnant with our second child ,my son . my addiction was telling me you need to be here for the birth , don't go . But my heart was telling me I wouldn't be there for any of it if I didn't go to rehab. So I told them I would be there next Wednesday. My son was born Monday, June 6th, 2016 . I've been clean since June 8th, 2016, and I couldn't imagine it any other way. The first time I heard this song was a couple of months after treatment , and saw it through my children's eyes and knew I was never going back
@@Alyumicno he’s not, as a man you have to provide things for other without question, you can’t show emotions because you have to be strong and you can’t be weak, no one cares about a man’s broken heart or anything like that. You can’t show if you’re sad, you can’t cry because you need to be strong for your family. If you really want to know how it feels I would recommend listening to the song As a man from Dax.
@@danielvandenheuvel9553 really because it seems like a lot of these guys are crying it's not weird or out of place for a man to cry or show emotion that's just some bullshit made up by people trying to hide their emotions
I was addicted to alcohol for 24 years. I had mental health issues and I used alcohol to wash away all the pain. I basically abandoned all my kids. I've been sober for 8 years now and I'm trying to reconnect with my kids. My oldest daughter won't forgive me... can't blame her. Seeing reactions like this let's me know I'm not alone.
This hurts me a lot, but im glad u got reconnected with your kids. Not a lot of parents do not, and just dont care. You remind me of my dad a lot, in a good way. God Bless you.
My dad did a similar thing to me, she still loves you, she just doesn't want to be hurt again... Its Been 6 years since I've seen or talked to my dad and there's times where I want to reach out and want to see him, but even though I'm grown, I can't bring myself to do it, out of fear of losing him again. I recently just found out he had liver failure due to excessive drinking and it made it even harder to not reach out but that just showed me that he hadn't changed and I feel guilty everyday for not speaking to him, and ik he feels guilty for not being in my life, but when it comes down to it, one persons happiness is another's demise. And I don't want to be his demise. So I want to thank you for giving me the courage to reach out to my father and I hope your daughter comes around some day. It's hard man... but all we need is some inspiration, even if it is from some UA-cam comment.
Please don't feel emberressed. I'm a father of 2 (almost 3 in February!), my mom (and dad) is an alcholic, still alive but we are not talking. It gave me and my an infinite amount of trauma's which we are still coping with because of the physical en mental abuse. I cry every time I am alone listening to this. I know it's hard to show this kind of feelings and I probably couldn't. But please don't feel ashamed showing it. The more sincere you are, the more I relate. Thank you for releasing me, I'm someone watching everyone react to NF, that's how I found you, just so you know. Cheers.
Great writers of novels, poems and songs wield enormous powers that can be squandered with uselessness or can move and help people. NF and this song, as well as many others in his collection have and still continue to help masses.
Completely agree with this. I would add that there is a reason a particular saying exists: that the pen is mightier than the sword. NF is one of those who gives real meaning to that saying, even if 99 percent of his music is about himself and his experiences, past and present.
this song is sad, I get sad watching reactions to this song because it breaks you. I can't listen to this song more than once a year I swear lol Great reaction
I just found you today and love you already. I could tell by the way you were crying you knew this pain. I lost my mom to addiction as well. I still cannot keep it together when I watch this. Sending you a big hug. NF is one of my favorite artists. I hope you choose to do the NF journey. His songs are amazing and all tell a story about his life and struggles with mental health. ♥
I hope you're making peace for yourself despite the trauma, in spite, if anything. I feel you. I almost ended up there and it's so dark... Nothing excuses what they did or said. You are completely valid. Love you 💛 from aust
@@FullMetalcoreJojo Thank you so much for your loving words. And I hope you too have found peace. My mom suffered from her own pain and trauma. I have since come to understand and forgive her. And the only peace I've been able to find is in Jesus. ♥ Sending you love and hugs back.
You are far from alone in this response. There is no shortage of reactors bawling to this song, and a lot share why it broke them. And for every crying video there are thousands of people crying off camera too. I actually seek out the emotional responses. I find it cathartic.
I found this song a few years ago, shortly after my mom committed suicide by overdose. She was battling with drugs for a long time, alongside being in an abusive relationship. Her relationship made her "lose" all of her kids, and after years of in and out of rehab, she had enough. She gave her apologies to us via voice mail and phone call, and the day after, I received a phone call from my grandma crying tell me that she "died in her sleep." She was like 48. I took my bereavement leave from work and I found this song on my leave. You couldn't imagine how many tears I shed from this song.
I am a 62 year old man.... And NF makes me relive my childhood... I cry... Always ... He is so powerful. Thanks for everything you do sir ...I appreciate your candor
Thanx for the REAL reaction... let the healings begin... NF could have hid this track from being released but like you ... he saw the potential power this vulnerability would have by releasing his cries for healing and understanding out into the universe... Peace... ;)
You are everything I expect out of a human being vs. flat-out content creator. This was hard to watch yet, it was so refreshing to see such raw humanity in someone who has endured so much. To be honest, she should have given you a trigger warning for addiction if this is something you struggle with. Subscribed, liked, bell set, my heart and soul I offer you, my dear friend. If I can do anything to support and help you out from my end in Australia; please reach out at any moment. Mad respect, love, and appreciation. 💛 [Comment made up until 6:27 mark, will amend if needed] Oh it's needed... I'm barely typing through the tears. First off never ever apologise or feel you have to act a certain face for the camera. Raw human experience and emotion, especially as a man will make a hell of an impact for people. Secondly, your personal tribute at the end there was beautiful. You are someone who wears their heart on their sleeve, and would move heAven on Earth for those that need it. Hope you're doing well my love... as I said always here if you need it. I fkg mean it 😭💛💛💛💛
This song isn't a tearjerker, it straight up wrings it out of you. It's so hard to listen to because there is no resolution, only anguish, despair and anger. Such raw power
I love listening to NF his music helps in tuff times and I’m pretty sure the part where he’s just talking he had everyone leave the studio so he could get through it if I remember correctly.
Imagine losing your mother to pills when you are 11...fast forward 10 years to the darkest part of your life and find this song for the first time, listen to it before work and thinking it was going to be about a girlfriend leaving....one of my favorite songs he's ever made. It helped healed so many scabs and wounds, truly wouldn't be here without this song in the world..
After I got out of the service I struggled with addiction. I’ve been to more rehabs then I can count and nothing was working. I couldn’t do anything but there is one person who could and his name is Jesus. I was delivered from addiction instantly and I’ve been free from it for 2 years. Praise Jesus
I’m 61 and my beautiful daughter is 24. Pills had me for almost 3 decades. My last high was 17 years ago so my daughter has had a sober mother for the majority of her life now. The thought of her EVER feeling like this singer guts me. I’m so glad I’m still here. I cried through this whole video.
Just discovered you thanks to NF. Emotional reaction….loved it. NF will take you on a wild ride of emotions. His music is uplifting/emotional/raw/and REAL. Hope you do more reactions of NF. He will make u change the way u look at life. SUBSCRIBED for more NF! He a different breed of rapper.
being someone who grew up without a mother figure because she chose drugs over parenting, i gotta tell u that this song absolutely made me break. ive listened to it so many times before but right now... i dont know. its so relateable i feel that pain.
As someone who's whole family has struggled with addiction from my dad, mom, brothers, all of us. I spent 7 yrs locked up from my family and my mom almost died just 3 months before i was getting out. That changed my life. I promised GOD if he would save her i would be a dif person. I know GOD doesn't make deals with us but i feel like he saved her so i have stood on that promise now for almost 10yrs. My mom is now drug free we have a great relationship and i will do what ever it takes to give her a better life then what we had in those years. Thank you for showing its ok for US men to cry.
Wonderful to see a true unfiltered reaction, would love to see a reaction to a Tom MacDonald reaction to either “withdrawals” or “sober” both about his past addictions and the progress to sobriety.
Honestly this and Witt Lowry's "Last Letter" are the two hardest songs for me to listen to. I'm a 6'1 220lb muscular vet, but these songs just hit you in different ways, and if you don't get at least a little emotional then you are not human. NF is one of the best at connecting with people because he touches on real topics. Topics other rappers won't even touch on.
This song hurts so much, close to tears every time I hear it, and not bad ones, fun fact, that last part where he is crying, he asked his people to leave the studio so he could say that honestly.
NF is one of my favorite artists, along with The Warning of course, and I don't usually listen to rap that often either cuz most of it is too vulgar to me. NF has powerful, relatable, and brutally honest lyrics throughout his entire catalog that are written in a very deep and creative way. Happy New Year and Happy Ale Day, Papa Fuerte!
I found Nate after i lost my dad to an overdose on Xmas Day 2018. I was lost. I was angry and felt like nobody could ever understand that pain. I was so angry at him. I also have a 4 yr old daughter and this song hit me so hard. No matter how many times I listen to it. I met NF at the Filmore in Denver a few years ago and we got to talk and he signed a pair of drumsticks for me. THIS is the reason us fans of his love him so much. THIS is what hip-hop is supposed to be. Poetry in motion. It's supposed to make you FEEL...to THINK! He reaches so many people bc we can relate to it, on an emotional and even spiritual level. Love these reactions man. Take this journey. The man is a lyrical genius.
My dad was addicted and died because of it and this was the first song by NF i ever heard. Seeing your reaction reminded me so much of how i reacted when I first heard it.
When I was 4 years old and my sister was 3 MONTHS old she walked out on us I guess someone promised her a better life than what she already had. My dad never told me this. I had to see it for my self as she came back periodically to ruin our lifes every time. I remember she would show up for Christmas after like 2 years of not seeing her. She would bring presents and leave the same night like she was some kind of santa. I was only 8 that day but I learned that nothing could keep her from leaving not tears not begging nothing. So yeah those lines in that song hit hard but I powered through that just like my old man. In the end it was all good though I had a Strong Dad, a good man, my childhood Hero. He thought me to always be a kind person, helped those in need, to stay strong and to never ever once disrespect my mother for she is the one who gave birth and life to me. The courage Dany shows everytime remindas me of my Dad, they are so warm-hearted, its amazing and the same goes for you my friend!!! Thankx for sharing STRONG DAD!! Thanks to Dany for bieng an inspiration to us all. 🙏 This is how I start 2023 "whipe my tear cause I'm a weapon weapons never weep!"
This was the most real and raw reaction I've seen.. like ever. Just know you did not cry alone. I'm also very proud of the people in your life who chose to be victors
Amazing reaction sir not common these days to see emotion come from a grown man this song is tough but it's the world we live in drug's take over love ones in everybody's family keep up the good work sir
Beautiful and powerful reaction! Thank you for your vulnerability and sharing your feelings with us. It was a great reaction that will help others as well. ❤❤
Strong opening for 2023 my friend. Perhaps I should not comment here on this because I have not suffered from addiction, nor has addiction affected my life. I'm commenting though because this song is so full of anger, of feelings of betrayal and loss. As you know, I lost my wife Terry of almost 30 years together this past May after fighting cancer for over a year. So I know something about loss and fighting for life against all odds. My reaction to this is about letting go of the anger. Addiction is a disease. It takes control of, quite literally, your life. The person with the disease is struggling to survive and not die. Don't be angry with the loved one. They didn't choose to betray you. Remember unconditional love and do as much as you can to strengthen your loved one who is suffering. In the end, it is their strength that affects their survival. I know cancer isn't addiction. But love is love and you know what you need to do. I didn't cry to this reaction, and I cry at almost every emotional thing now. I think it is because of the anger. I hope NF heals and chooses to re-release this song again in the future only this time with his obvious love, and loss, but without the anger. Peace.
this song helped me out of my morphium and Benzo addiction, i can't express how thankfull i am for NF to make this traumatic event for him into a song maybe life is dark sometimes but i Hope ge will always remember how many people he is affecting and helping with his music 🖤
12 year Army Infantry Vet here, this some broke me as there are so many things that sync with my upbringing. This is the first video from you that I have seen, I've definitely been missing out of great content. Subbed
dude... I found your channel 15 minutes ago. I love NF for the stories he tells and the relatability. I've been listening to him off and on for the last 5 years or so, especially when I get to a lower season of life. Your reaction was beautiful. I don't know if I've ever wept while watching a UA-cam video, but I have now. Keep on doing what your doing and I'm excited to learn more about your story ❤️
As a dad of 7 kids I love unconditionally this channels name is accurate. This is one Strong Dad. Everything NF raps is his real life. Nothing is about others.
I know I'm late to these comments, but someone who looks like me, who is a clearly tough guy showing emotion is so important. I know it may sound silly to you that a youtube channel is saving lives but I promise you that this is important.
Nf has a lot of songs that are deep and emotional . A lot of people can connect to Nf , his music is therapy for all of his fans . I encourage you to listen to more of his music. His music does wonders
Thank you for being yourself. You’re a good person to being taken over by emotion instead of ignoring it. Made me feel a little more normal watching this.
I've watched/ listened to this song many times now. Every time I watch with a new reactor I cry all over again. Thanks for letting me watch it with you.
Mans from the future, his up in 2030 while we are all in 2023 😂 your reaction was so heartfelt, it was the same as mine when i first heard this song after losing ny own mum. You got yourself a new sub based on this reaction. It was beautiful.
If you are in fact a dad, then blessed are your children to have a father compassionate enough to cry for his brother, whom hasn't had the benefit of a functioning father and mother. Be blessed and thank you for sharing a piece of who you really are with us. It's time to help others like NF as well as ourselves heal.
Could tell from the first chords on the piano you feel the music NFs music is a journey through his life , he sings about all his hardships and what he deals with His slogan is 'real music'
I truly love the realism in this reaction. A lot try to tough it out etc. Those aren't "Real" reactions to me. Major props and I will be subbing for damn sure!
I was dealt probably one of the worst hands in life I guess you could imagine. I was severely sexually abused, physically abused through a ring orchestrated by my parents, and it only went on to get much worse from there. Due to the very traumatic effects of this, I became an addict at an extremely young age but but have been clean now for 22 years, and I'm living proof that you can do it. The trauma, scars and wounds are all real, they're still there and they still hurt every day, but I'm clean. Thank you for your honest and heartfelt review, you have a new subscriber in me. ❤️
thanks for the reaction..! let it out man, this song still makes me cry when i hear it." even we bears have to cry sometimes "respect that you can show it that" ...
It's a wonderful review of retracing for future bounds. He mentions this a couple times but the whole video is full of his easter eggs. Epic song Strongdad. (This is an epic song, btw)
There hasn't been a single time that I've heard this song and not cried. I love how raw and real it is. I know it was so hard for him to record and I wish he never had to but I hope he knows how much his raw humanity and honesty about his life has brought so much to others. I know music is where he goes to get his emotions out but the world needs him. He's a treasure of a person.
Never can make it through this dang song. Damn it hurts my soul. Knowing exactly what he's gone through because his childhood mirrored my own . Awesome reaction my friend. It was hard as hell to listen to it. 💞💞😔
Idk if this is just me or not but when I hear or see another man cry I just know something is going fucked up in there life and I just want to give them a hug and try to help them any way I can
I can't even begin to exclaim how much this song hurts my heart, and I am blessed with parents who were so supportive and there for me. To everyone who has lost someone or struggles with being addicted or knowing someone who is addicted, my heart beats for you, and you will always be in my thoughts and prayers. You are so much stronger than you know, and every day you carry on is a victory. Endless love, - Bailey
♥ U!!!

Amazing That u only done this 3days ago and I only started listening 2 this song 3-4 days ago and can’t get it out my head yet it’s been around for 6 years 🙏
Thank you for sharing. 🙏❤🤍
Esta canción cuanto me hace llorar
This is my first video of yours and I love you already ❤ keep up the amazing work
Bro.. As a 33 year old man..
Mechanic .. Tough guy..
I was also in tears....
Hard not to be.. This song is just so powerful
man i am 41 also not a lot into cutting onions but this where 3 huge onions for me
I thought crying is me being weak.
7 years ago, I committed to going to rehab , I didn't know when I got in , all i knew was something had to change . I had almost lost my wife and daughter , finally, I get the call , 8 or so months later . We can take you next wednesday .by now, my wife is 8 months pregnant with our second child ,my son . my addiction was telling me you need to be here for the birth , don't go . But my heart was telling me I wouldn't be there for any of it if I didn't go to rehab. So I told them I would be there next Wednesday. My son was born Monday, June 6th, 2016 . I've been clean since June 8th, 2016, and I couldn't imagine it any other way. The first time I heard this song was a couple of months after treatment , and saw it through my children's eyes and knew I was never going back
That's what's up!! Stay strong man!!!
❤
I hope you see/hear/feel "Hope".
my hat goes off to you, sir thank you for sharing this
nothing but respect and admiration toward you. i’m inspired
I cry every time I hear this song. Real men aren't afraid to show their emotions. They will cry, laugh, and kick a$$ when necessary.
Sometimes we are just locked. Even tho we would like to show our emotions, nothing happen. Just numb. We doesn't choose that.

NF songs are all about him and have a story behind them. I love NF best rapper IMO
Absolutely. I hate rap. But I love NF.
That's why you're a strong dad. Dad's cry, too. Makes us human.
NF---He brings it. NF is not your normal RAP. He brings substance and emotion! This is his story.

With all that hurt n pain, he still loved his mom, "wish you were here"...
I cried right along with you man, proud of you for being a real one on screen. Real reaction from you, and real music from NF.
He asked everyone in the studio to leave the room for that last bit of the song so he can just speak with his Mom in private

I swear NF always makes me cry wish these songs
being someone who grew up without a mother figure because she chose drugs over parenting, i gotta tell u that this song absolutely made me break. ive listened to it so many times before but right now... i dont know. its so relateable i feel that pain.
As someone who's whole family has struggled with addiction from my dad, mom, brothers, all of us. I spent 7 yrs locked up from my family and my mom almost died just 3 months before i was getting out. That changed my life. I promised GOD if he would save her i would be a dif person. I know GOD doesn't make deals with us but i feel like he saved her so i have stood on that promise now for almost 10yrs. My mom is now drug free we have a great relationship and i will do what ever it takes to give her a better life then what we had in those years. Thank you for showing its ok for US men to cry.
Wonderful to see a true unfiltered reaction, would love to see a reaction to a Tom MacDonald reaction to either “withdrawals” or “sober” both about his past addictions and the progress to sobriety.
omg ! i am 50 and i was crying to this video ... i guess we will not get over it
Man I have watched a hundred of these reactions each one gets to me because this song is very personal. You are an awesome guy and I salute you. 👏
Honestly this and Witt Lowry's "Last Letter" are the two hardest songs for me to listen to. I'm a 6'1 220lb muscular vet, but these songs just hit you in different ways, and if you don't get at least a little emotional then you are not human. NF is one of the best at connecting with people because he touches on real topics. Topics other rappers won't even touch on.
This song hurts so much, close to tears every time I hear it, and not bad ones, fun fact, that last part where he is crying, he asked his people to leave the studio so he could say that honestly.
NF is one of my favorite artists, along with The Warning of course, and I don't usually listen to rap that often either cuz most of it is too vulgar to me. NF has powerful, relatable, and brutally honest lyrics throughout his entire catalog that are written in a very deep and creative way. Happy New Year and Happy Ale Day, Papa Fuerte!
I found Nate after i lost my dad to an overdose on Xmas Day 2018. I was lost. I was angry and felt like nobody could ever understand that pain. I was so angry at him. I also have a 4 yr old daughter and this song hit me so hard. No matter how many times I listen to it. I met NF at the Filmore in Denver a few years ago and we got to talk and he signed a pair of drumsticks for me. THIS is the reason us fans of his love him so much. THIS is what hip-hop is supposed to be. Poetry in motion. It's supposed to make you FEEL...to THINK! He reaches so many people bc we can relate to it, on an emotional and even spiritual level. Love these reactions man. Take this journey. The man is a lyrical genius.
Doing the nf journey blows up almost every reactors channel. His fan base is serious.
My dad was addicted and died because of it and this was the first song by NF i ever heard. Seeing your reaction reminded me so much of how i reacted when I first heard it.
Strongdad, Tu corazón es inmenso.
Outcast fam wanna say I r one of us, blood or not, stay strong and know this fam cares and keeps giving love.
When I was 4 years old and my sister was 3 MONTHS old she walked out on us I guess someone promised her a better life than what she already had. My dad never told me this. I had to see it for my self as she came back periodically to ruin our lifes every time. I remember she would show up for Christmas after like 2 years of not seeing her. She would bring presents and leave the same night like she was some kind of santa. I was only 8 that day but I learned that nothing could keep her from leaving not tears not begging nothing. So yeah those lines in that song hit hard but I powered through that just like my old man. In the end it was all good though I had a Strong Dad, a good man, my childhood Hero. He thought me to always be a kind person, helped those in need, to stay strong and to never ever once disrespect my mother for she is the one who gave birth and life to me. The courage Dany shows everytime remindas me of my Dad, they are so warm-hearted, its amazing and the same goes for you my friend!!! Thankx for sharing STRONG DAD!! Thanks to Dany for bieng an inspiration to us all. 🙏
This is how I start 2023
"whipe my tear cause I'm a weapon weapons never weep!"
This was the most real and raw reaction I've seen.. like ever. Just know you did not cry alone. I'm also very proud of the people in your life who chose to be victors
Amazing reaction sir not common these days to see emotion come from a grown man this song is tough but it's the world we live in drug's take over love ones in everybody's family keep up the good work sir
Beautiful and powerful reaction! Thank you for your vulnerability and sharing your feelings with us. It was a great reaction that will help others as well. ❤❤
holy shit this was powerful man! Thank you for sharing it ! God Bless you and your family sir!
When I first heard this my was bleeding for nate god bless you brother
Strong opening for 2023 my friend. Perhaps I should not comment here on this because I have not suffered from addiction, nor has addiction affected my life. I'm commenting though because this song is so full of anger, of feelings of betrayal and loss. As you know, I lost my wife Terry of almost 30 years together this past May after fighting cancer for over a year. So I know something about loss and fighting for life against all odds. My reaction to this is about letting go of the anger. Addiction is a disease. It takes control of, quite literally, your life. The person with the disease is struggling to survive and not die. Don't be angry with the loved one. They didn't choose to betray you. Remember unconditional love and do as much as you can to strengthen your loved one who is suffering. In the end, it is their strength that affects their survival. I know cancer isn't addiction. But love is love and you know what you need to do. I didn't cry to this reaction, and I cry at almost every emotional thing now. I think it is because of the anger. I hope NF heals and chooses to re-release this song again in the future only this time with his obvious love, and loss, but without the anger. Peace.
The end part hits a lot harder than it used too, knowing Nate has a son now.
this song helped me out of my morphium and Benzo addiction, i can't express how thankfull i am for NF to make this traumatic event for him into a song
maybe life is dark sometimes but i Hope ge will always remember how many people he is affecting and helping with his music
🖤
This song is pretty old. I've heard it alot. It still brings me to tears. I've never been addicted, but I've been abandoned. This song is so special.
12 year Army Infantry Vet here, this some broke me as there are so many things that sync with my upbringing.
This is the first video from you that I have seen, I've definitely been missing out of great content. Subbed
dude... I found your channel 15 minutes ago. I love NF for the stories he tells and the relatability. I've been listening to him off and on for the last 5 years or so, especially when I get to a lower season of life. Your reaction was beautiful. I don't know if I've ever wept while watching a UA-cam video, but I have now. Keep on doing what your doing and I'm excited to learn more about your story ❤️
As a dad of 7 kids I love unconditionally this channels name is accurate. This is one Strong Dad. Everything NF raps is his real life. Nothing is about others.
I know I'm late to these comments, but someone who looks like me, who is a clearly tough guy showing emotion is so important. I know it may sound silly to you that a youtube channel is saving lives but I promise you that this is important.
Just drove through Arizona for New Year’s the rain was indeed crazy, I think it hailed a bit too!
I know it's weird but thank you. This made my day
Nf has a lot of songs that are deep and emotional . A lot of people can connect to Nf , his music is therapy for all of his fans . I encourage you to listen to more of his music. His music does wonders
Thank you for the reaction sir ! Let it out man , this song still brings me to tears when I hear it 🙏 them pills got you right 😭
Yeah, any pent up restrained emotions explode when hearing this song.
Thank you for being yourself. You’re a good person to being taken over by emotion instead of ignoring it. Made me feel a little more normal watching this.
That was rough and beautiful to watch you react to NF! Definitely earned a new sub! Stay blessed bro!
I love a dude who can be emotional for that reason alone I'm subbing
New sub here. I’m here to see this awesome NF emotional journey with you bro
Subbed for this reaction. Love NF!
I've watched/ listened to this song many times now.
Every time I watch with a new reactor I cry all over again.
Thanks for letting me watch it with you.
Great reaction . You found the 🐐 goat.
Mans from the future, his up in 2030 while we are all in 2023 😂 your reaction was so heartfelt, it was the same as mine when i first heard this song after losing ny own mum. You got yourself a new sub based on this reaction. It was beautiful.
If you are in fact a dad, then blessed are your children to have a father compassionate enough to cry for his brother, whom hasn't had the benefit of a functioning father and mother. Be blessed and thank you for sharing a piece of who you really are with us. It's time to help others like NF as well as ourselves heal.
Don't feel bad bro...I haven't cried since 2001 when my pops died....and certain songs make me tear up. Especially true ones.
Could tell from the first chords on the piano you feel the music
NFs music is a journey through his life , he sings about all his hardships and what he deals with
His slogan is 'real music'
Fantastic reaction. I tear up every time. I think you’ll love NF if you decide to do more
Man. Beautiful and honest reaction. From Brazil
I truly love the realism in this reaction. A lot try to tough it out etc. Those aren't "Real" reactions to me. Major props and I will be subbing for damn sure!
I cried myself the first like 10 times I've heard this song. Thank you for showing us a vulnerable side of yourself. Stay strong man and enjoy life
I was dealt probably one of the worst hands in life I guess you could imagine. I was severely sexually abused, physically abused through a ring orchestrated by my parents, and it only went on to get much worse from there.
Due to the very traumatic effects of this, I became an addict at an extremely young age but but have been clean now for 22 years, and I'm living proof that you can do it.
The trauma, scars and wounds are all real, they're still there and they still hurt every day, but I'm clean. Thank you for your honest and heartfelt review, you have a new subscriber in me.
❤️
39 year old 3x vet 2 different wars. In tears!
thanks for the reaction..! let it out man, this song still makes me cry when i hear it." even we bears have to cry sometimes "respect that you can show it that" ...
Thank you for your vulnerability.
It's a wonderful review of retracing for future bounds. He mentions this a couple times but the whole video is full of his easter eggs. Epic song Strongdad. (This is an epic song, btw)
There hasn't been a single time that I've heard this song and not cried. I love how raw and real it is. I know it was so hard for him to record and I wish he never had to but I hope he knows how much his raw humanity and honesty about his life has brought so much to others. I know music is where he goes to get his emotions out but the world needs him. He's a treasure of a person.
Never can make it through this dang song. Damn it hurts my soul. Knowing exactly what he's gone through because his childhood mirrored my own . Awesome reaction my friend. It was hard as hell to listen to it. 💞💞😔
As men we think it's weak to cry but it isn't. You can't be strong if you're afraid of your own feelings
this song gives me chills everytime i listen to it i lost my biological parents to addiction i love nf
Idk if this is just me or not but when I hear or see another man cry I just know something is going fucked up in there life and I just want to give them a hug and try to help them any way I can
I can't even begin to exclaim how much this song hurts my heart, and I am blessed with parents who were so supportive and there for me. To everyone who has lost someone or struggles with being addicted or knowing someone who is addicted, my heart beats for you, and you will always be in my thoughts and prayers. You are so much stronger than you know, and every day you carry on is a victory. Endless love, - Bailey
Man I cried the whole way through with you. Rough. Much love man
