It's not often I cry from a song.. only two artists have made me feel like I have to cry, and it's Ren and NF. NF in particular, he's a rap artist with extremely honest, vulnerable and relatable lyrics about his own serious mental struggles and trauma. If there was a side you didn't want to see in yourself, he will bring it out of you 😅 he does not sugar coat it. It's a punch in the gut, so to speak. And I love him for that. Makes me want to be more real and true with myself too.
@@IzzyIzenstain NF - "Mansion" is a very good start. That will give you a good picture of how he uses symbolism in his songs. The mansion is his head and his many different issues and mental struggles all have their own room in his mansion. I'd love to see you react to that one. The audio version is on his channel but there's an unoffical lyric video too, if you want to go with that one. th-cam.com/video/ibWdgkv1LSA/w-d-xo.htmlsi=8bhxj7um4mc2Nrsb
Enjoyed it Izzy. "I believe. I've come to believe. Right now, I believe." I relate to that stumble. I know what I believe, but sometimes have a hard time stating it because I also know that what I believe will change. I don't know how it will change, just that it will. Also, as Jordan Peterson would ask 'what the hell does "I believe" mean anyway?' Dress to impress goes beyond the clothes we wear. I coach young people and impress upon them start acting like your capable of handling more responsibility now or you will never get that opportunity. Keep it up, can't wait to hear what you do next.
Thanks, David! From a few of your other comments it seems we have quite a bit in common. It's great advise, glad to hear the young generation are getting it, well at least some of them anyway. Appreciate your support!

That's good! I've heard NF mentioned a few times, but never listened. I might react to something. Any recommendations?

I occasionally have a good cry to songs of heartbreak. It's cathartic.
Not too often though 😊
Better out than in!
Bryan Ferry always dressed to impress. What an elegant gent!
Agreed! He's a dude!
Enjoyed your lyrical analysis but think I might have liked to hear the song played as well. Maybe I listen to too many song reactions…
Thanks for the feedback, Maura. I did consider doing that, but decided against it. I'll start linking the songs in the description though.
