“Music raised me more than my parents did.” NF raised himself = his is his own parent.
🤔😯 Ohhhh, I've watched this SO many times and never put that into it. I have believed it was Nate reflecting on his life and maybe how he did things, but THAT line makes the parent part of the puzzle fit in place in my head! THANK YOU!!
So many ways this could be interpreted... totally different without the video.
Omg such a good connection!!
Fact
I can totally relate to that!
“Rap’s always been a mirror for me”
The song has a double meaning it is Nate reflecting on his life letting his younger self down. However he does the song where it’s about his parents as well
Nf dont drink though and he said have another drink
@@lackycc how do you know he doesnt drink?
@@stitchowi Hey there was a song called Epiphany where NF says I stayed away from the party scenes cos addiction it runs in my family.... but yeh maybe he might do
@@lackycc you seem to have missed the point where the original commenter said it has a double meaning about his younger self and his parents.
NF in an interview said this song was about his biological dad letting him get abused by his mothers boyfriend and letting his mom overall trash his youth.
Yes thats him, you also see the tattoo on his arm at the end. But the song could still be interpreted different ways for different people.
Absolutely love this song. Fun fact, he eclipsed over 1 billion plays for this song on Spotify alone 🔥
And yet, I still feel like he is unknown to so many and/or overlooked and underrated. 🖤
@@topdoggjb i;ve heard multiple songs from him but never knew it was acutally NF who made them, and NONE of my friends knew who NF was either but the second they listened to his most played or most popular songs they were all like "OHH HEY i've heard this"
lol he's like a silent juggernaut
@@topdoggjb I mean that's what a real artist looks like cause you have some shit rappers and singers who got millions plays out of a shit music and run on Grammy shit
What everyone is saying is correct, NF is reflecting on himself. If you go to 3:31 in the video you will see the words REA on the older version of NF tattooed on his right arm same as young NF's REAL MUSIC (Before you hear the words Nathan). He does this again on the search album with his song Nate. Great Reaction as always guys
NF is very REFLECTIVE. He’s always looking at himself (mirrors in his songs) and thinking about what he could have done differently or better. When you see the rewinding in his videos , he is ruminating. Also in this song, when he says “go to your house, sit on that couch,” - Mansion, he’s talking to himself - therapy couch…..etc etc. I could go on and on…
How have I missed that house/couch line in this song!? Thank you.
Thank you….I took it as himself
Yes!!!! I always thought this! "Parents" is music and "I don't even want to go in your house" is reflecting in his mansion. I'm so glad someone else thinks that too! Lol
I thought the music video was him watching himself and his hook was also about himself, but the drink it off I thought was directed towards his father. This is why I love reaction videos. I can link a lot, but ya'll link so much more thank you!
This song is such a powerful song. In the chorus it is supposed to be NF's dad point of view and the verses are what Nate feels about his dad. Thats why in the end of the video the old man sings the chorus for the first time, bc NF feels like his dad would only tell him 'im sorry that i let you down' in the worst case scenario (nates death).
I think it’s a double meaning, he let himself down and his parents let him down. You might have heard this on the radio, it got a lot of play
This song was all over the radio so not surprised you’ve heard the hook.
I thought y’all were going to stop the video just before they say “Nathan” 😳 I wanted to yell through the screen to let it play out 🤣 thankfully you did hahaha
Wait a minute... are you THE kayy? The patreon??? :o
@@BananaBoy_420 lol yes that would be me
@@kayy8429 ur awesome for getting these guys into NF!!! Much loveeeee
Ditto!
I did yell at the end, "let it play!"
I don’t know his intention with this song, but I interpreted it as being about his parents & himself at the same time. Kind of touching on the idea of generational trauma and that a lot of us “turn into” our parents when we get older - including the bad parts. Also got a sense of how if someone grows up being made to feel like they’re not worth being saved or helped when they’re in a bad place, then that’s how they’ll view themselves. The dad watches him drown/burn, doesn’t do anything to get him the help he clearly needs, and then when confronted he brushes it off with “well you think I let you down, but what could I have done?” And that maybe when he grows up internalizing that and he reflects back on it, instead of faulting the people in his life who should’ve been there to protect them, he blames himself for how things turned out & not being his own “hero” so to speak.
Nikole T dude. Ok so i havent watched their reaction yet but I know this song and video VERY WELL. The way you broke it down is exactly how i perceived it as well. This song is what convinced me to reach out to my parents after years of no contact (their choice). Needless to say, it did NOT end well but I'm proud of myself for trying. I still have a ton to unpack and deal with trauma wise from them but its been on the backburner since I had my kids. Kinda crazy but the last few days I've been hearing my "dad" come out of me when fussing at my kids. He is the absolute LAST person I want to be like. I swore i would never treat my kids like he treated me. But here i am 36 years old raising 3 kids by myself and instinct/muscle memory from childhood came out of my mouth a few times....however, the difference between him and me is that I acknowledge and apologize when I "am him" to my kids. I also don't beat them senseless for no reason. Or beat them at all. My approach is totally opposite than my parents on purpose. Because at the end of the day, my kids still love me and respect me. My parents will NEVER have that from me or my 11 siblings.
Thanks again for the breakdown. Now I will watch the reaction yay!❤❤❤
BlessUp!
I'm 43 and have been running from my demons for so long. NF has been a part of my motivation to finally go to therapy. She told me last session, "What I want you to reflect on in the coming week: begin to find a way to tell young Sandi that you forgive her, knowing she did the best she could with what she wad given." This video hits SO DAMN HARD having reached this point myself. Great explanation.
This was the first song I heard from NF. I fell in love with his music from that moment! I'm a metalhead, but I'm all about lyrics! This man had me hooked!
The song is a double meaning, it's Nate and it's his dad. and yes, the high pitched voice is NF with the pitch changed. Great reaction!
This song was played on the radio a lot. You prolly heard it not knowing it was him cuz no one ever talks about him. I feel slighted I had to find him on TH-cam. I love him so much.
The whole song is a metaphor to his life and what he has been through. My interpretation of it has always been a song towards himself and what he has been through, not necessarily about his family; he has always been hard on himself, and expresses it through his music. I might be wrong, but that is how I take it. Stay real guys, and welcome to the outcast family.
NF's name is Nathan, and the real tattoo is his tattoo, so he is kind of saying he is scared that he will be that guy for his children, and have these standards are too high to reach.
drowning in depression, consumed by anger, and losing the best parts of himself
I actually used this song to help explain to my parents (mostly my dad) the impact that he has on me and my perspective on things because everything Nate says here is the same for me down to a tee
I agree with you, my dad is the same way. This song would be a perfect way to express how I feel. Not that it matters
NF was the one friend i have who really changed my life for good sake, he came into my life as a Therapist when i was low, he made me think I'm capable of anything and no one is nothing to hurt me if i just threw all of them from my life...... he's the most Lyrical Artist i know and the most meaningful i admire.💙
Listen to the chorus. It starts as a kids voice and gets deeper as the song goes.
Yea that’s NF singing just pitched up. Pretty sure all his songs with higher pitched ones are him as well unless it says featured like you said
Planes Trains and Automobiles! Man that movie is a classic and I don't hear enough people talk about it
Ive loved your nf reactions, finally subscribed. Ive been through this journey 100x over, it never gets old.
I viewed it like when you get older and start putting yourself in your parents shoes, like nate is trying to figure why his dad did the things he did by replaying his childhood and trying to see it through his dad’s eyes
It can be interpreted many ways. I was shocked the first time I saw the ending. I still go back and forth...maybe the song was for his dad and his younger self? #NF 😎
I'm so glad you guys are watching and listening to NF. I recently listened to him and he changed my life. His messages are so raw and real and powerful it's crazy. You guys have such good feedback on his music and I'm so glad you like him as much as I do and billions of others. NF is different than so many other artists. He's just so powerful and I'm forever changed by him.
I know I'm not a patron but there is another one of his songs that I love called, Lie. Just a recommendation. Have a great day and keep doing what you're doing!
Love this song. It’s heavy but kind of therapeutic.
Lets go another video of NF been waiting whole time for you guys to continue the journey. I love your reactions keep it up guys. Much love❤
GREAT reaction guys!!! I just read through comments and learned a few things I have missed and I have seen this MANY times.
I interpret this song with a double meaning of him reflecting on himself and his parents. I don't think it can be all about Nate reflecting on himself because of the line "Go ahead, just drink it off" since he doesn't drink. I haven't looked it up but I have always thought the voice at the end that says "Nathan" was a recording from his mom. Great reaction guys!
I think it's pretty norman Eric heard the hook before, this is the song that exposed (in the good way) nf to the general audience. This song was everywhere
Great reaction as always! I hope If You Want Love and Remember This are the next two in line. After this album, you should do every song off of The Search and Clouds.
My relationship, with my mom, was rough throughout my life. I tried to talk to her, and she always blew me off. One day she asked "why don't you answer, when I call?" I sent her this song. Told her to listen to it and learn the words, and that's how I felt towards our relationship. Since that day our relationship has improved. NF'S music can heal and make things better.
This was the first NF song i heard over the radio, i was so happy when i noticed it playing
its the fact that i relate to this song with my dad on every level
This is one of those "got me thorugh tough times" songs for alot of people, love that you guys covered it, such a good song
This is one of my favorite songs from NF mainly because I can relate to it in two different ways one for the same reason as NF and other well let not get into that rabbits hole. but like everyone else has said it is him reflecting back on his life. Love video!!! keep it up guys!!!
I hope you guys do the entire Search Album! Love your watching your journey through NF. He’s an artists in the truest sense of the word.
I look so forward to your NF reactions his music means so much to me
The 5th song on Perception is Dreams ( after Green Lights and b4 this)......it's never "on the journey," but well worth reacting to. Love the channel, and the journey! #nfrealmusic
When music allows the perception to be from the listener it’s amazing. When you can have your owns meaning or thoughts, it’s amazing. Great job gentlemen, I enjoy feeling like I could sit there with you and talk about the reactions.
I just want to take a moment to appreciate you guys and truly truly just appreciate it. I've listened to each and every NF reaction you guys have had. I've listened to a lot of NF reactions and followed other people's journey as they go through the "NF Journey". Some because of the hype and energy, some for the critical analysis of it, and some for the music aspect of it and it only ever opens my eyes more and appreciate NF's Genuis mind and wonderful work. You guys wrap that all up into a nice present with a bow on top, in my opinion.
But I've had to privilege to follow you guys through your own journey and I gotta say, this is my absolute favorite journey I've ever followed and watched through (so far) and I honestly don't think much others will match that. I absolutely love your chemistry and how you guys just compliment and amplify eachother's reaction. Picking eachother's minds a bit, and letting the words just hit, showing emotion and going back to appreciate the lyrics. Honestly, what you guys are doing is amazing. Keep it up 💖 and see yas in the next NF reaction. 👏 💯
Dynical, I love how you see that. Thank you for your comment! 😘🤘
@@rykerroadMOM3123 of course 😊 just felt like speaking my mind.
This was my Intro to NF. It found me in 2017 in my darkest days. NF has been my GOAT and therapist since.
Ok I was super excited for yall earlier when I saw the ad had to post now I have watched the video and as always great reaction I seriously constantly look for new uploads from y'all. Kyle you do not have to explain why you get how you get during your reactions matter-of-fact you never need to. My husband once explained to me that he thought when God says," Let us make man in our image, in our likeness,......." he understands that to mean less physical and more in terms of God's nature which makes more sense than his physical at least to me so don't ever feel you need explain to anyone how wonderfully God made you. I could tell you felt this down deep and I too feel deeply when someone is in physical pain it actually makes me nausea I get physically ill so I completely understand. Ok the feelings aside I so appreciate that yall don't research or look any info so many reactors it's obvious they watched it before and the reactions aren't genuine so I am super appreciative. Eric you fucking kill me , "wait do you really" ROFL 🤣 Please make a fucking shirt that says, "DON'T TOUCH ME!" With yalls RR symbol 🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣 ok I'm a talker surprise love you guys!!!
I literally said "yes!" when I saw that a new NF upload was done. Awesome reaction as always
This song always reminds me of my relationship with my dad, especially when I was a teenager and he and my mom had separated. Our relationship is better now but i still have a deep seeded fear that when he sees me and my life all he can see is failure
i was watching some other video and was thinking "hmm when is rykerroad gonna drop the new nf" then I clicked home and there it was. blessss
Another great reaction. Also another great NF song, I haven't heard a bad one yet (I even went back and found is Moments album on TH-cam). I would love to see you two in discussion with him. I know he seems to be pretty private, but I also know he likes deep thought, and I feel like you both are in the same headspace that way. Keep it up, can't wait for the next one!
Another stunning reaction! Real Music.
Kyle I wish I could give you a hug brother!
You got it! It's Nate at the end! Great reaction as always!
You will read a bunch of different theories as to what this song means in the comments I still haven’t figured it out maybe he’s come out and said something in an interview but I don’t think so. That is definitely him because of the tattoo that it shows on the old man’s arm it’s Nate‘s tattoo
This is definitely his biggest and one of his only “radio songs” so not surprising if you’ve heard the hook before. Deep song still
the first song that got me into nf. def one of my favs
Fire as usual gents🔥
I’ve been an NF fan, honestly since the beginning of his career. I went to a concert last September, best concert I’ve ever been to, I’m so pumped for you guys to continue this journey. I’ll be honest, can’t wait for you guys to get to the mixtape. Completely different vibe, the same NF but completely different. Keep on keepin on fellas!
So the identities of his parents are not publicly known, but if I had to guess I'd say his father's name was Johnny. The reasons for this thought are that NF's middle name is John, and if you remember back in Intro 3 he said "I wrote a song for Johnny without you, but he ain't gon' like it, let's see how he takes it." and I think this is the song he was referring to.
This song has been played on radio since its release. Also heard this on grocery store music stations.
I watched him perform this song live. It was amazing and I hope you guys get to see him live some day
Thanks
This song is my relationship with my parents, mostly my dad, except he's definitely not sorry or regretful of any of the abuse he's lobbed at me over my almost 50 years of life. He and my mom absolutely watched me drown in depression and repeatedly threw gas on the fire by telling me what a disappointment I am, how lazy I was, that I just made their lives hard. I probably would've killed myself if I didn't have my son.
I got better when I moved out and I've kept low contact with them until recently, thinking in their advanced age I we could get past a lot of the bullshit.
Nope. Peace in our family means someone has to be dad's disappointment punching bag and that has always been me.
Ok I've already commented twice but I was watching yalls reaction again and I agree with yall it's how a person perceives music it relates to us all differently depending on what's going on in our individual lives that is why music is so beautiful. That is why Freddie Mercury and his band mates have never revealed the meaning behind Bohemian Rhapsody they will all take that to the grave I like to think it was to not ruin what the song meant to each individual fan of it. Guys we all have scars from our childhood even the ones we think have perfect lives carry scars it's impossible not to get a few but that's what makes us all so incredible we still keep going because the world keeps going NFs music relates to almost everyone who listens that's why when I hear someone say they don't like him I always ask if they even listened his skill aside the message hits hard.
His music is beautiful.
@@Rykerroad yes it truly was if you mean Freddie Mercury if you mean NF yes 100% agree.
This is one of his songs that really gets me
This song has multiple layers of reflection as far as I can tell. Nate is reflecting on his past, present, and future (hence 3 voices of various pitch/maturity on the chorus) BUT he's also demonstrating the struggle of not wanting his life (past, present, or future) the reflect that of his parents, specifically, his dad. In a way he's telling his younger self that he's "sorry that I let you down" whilst also using that to portray his dad coming along later in life to make amends saying the very same line. There's a couple lines in the end of this that refer to that exact conversation "put my smile on" and such. What's really interesting is that this shows Nate was already contemplating who he was, and more specifically, who he'd be as a parent... and ironically, he's now semi-recently a dad. Really interesting to see it all come full circle in a way.
Great reaction ❤
This was his biggest hit in terms of radio play
This one and Paralyzed were in heavy rotation on the radio. That's how I first heard him, but just now diving into the whole catalog. He's on another level all together, tbh.
Here for it!!#NFREALMUSIC 🔥🔥
This comment is coming a year late to this video but I love watching you guys. I’ve started at the beginning of your NF journey because I am one of those fans that wants to watch other people experience him for the first time.
I love the discussions you have after the videos. I’ve binged watched your NF videos over the last 12 hours from the beginning to this one. I’m still going to work through the rest too.
You guys also referencing one of my favorite game studios naughty dog…. I knew you guys were alright. 😂
I never comment on videos but I just had to let you know how much I enjoy watching you guys.
This is the song that made his album hit #1
I’m glad you waited till the very end, most reactors skip over the very brief conclusion!
Big hug kyle
This is his most popular song and it was played A LOT on the radio a few years back, so it’s not surprising that you’ve heard the hook
Love ya NF, Eric and Kyle.
You guys should try listening to “The Plot In You” they’ve got some good hits.
Wooohooo another NF thx bros 😘
This isn't even about the music video, which is obviously amazing, congrats on your sponsorship! Been here since 4k and you guys are doing some awesome stuff here!
Thank you. We really appreciate it.
The first time he ever reached out to help, it was too late. But yeah as other comments said this nf looking back at his own life as an old man and he is afraid he will let himself down. But so it can be relatable it is also written so that people can interpret it being about parents or maybe a relationship.
If you haven't yet you will love the song I miss the days. Very relatable song on so many levels.
This song is a double meaning and Nate said that he likes to do that with some of his videos because music is subjective. He said it is mostly about him reflecting back and questioning his life at times. ie, talking to himself.
This was a huge song when it dropped one of his biggest radio hits
If you can survive How Could You Leave Us you got nothing to worry about. 😟
You probably have heard this hook it's one of Nate's most popular songs and one of the only songs he's ever got radio play on...
AAAHHHHH SHHIITTT! Y'all got a fucking sponsor!!! Let's GOOOOOO!! That's what I'm talking about!
That is him on the hook with the pitch changed. If there’s no feature it’s him👍🏻
That’s his older self talking about how he let his younger self down 👍🏻
This song is a different version of Nate on The Search album. Here it's the older NF reflecting about the current Nate. On the song Nate (The Search) NF is talking to kid Nate.
I’m super excited for the reaction to Clouds 😁
For reference I believe this song is about NF resenting his father for leaving him with his mother and her abusive boyfriend (see Mansions) and his mom (see How Could You Leave Us).
I can't wait until you guys get to "Change", he mentioned it in The Search and its such a good song. "Know" is another amazing one too!
You must have heard the hook/song on the radio. Stations were playing this song for a little bit 👍🏻
I’ll play this with him on July 18th, 2023 in Milwaukee, Wisconsin!
The older man in this video is Nate in the future. The song and video is a whole imagery of him telling Himself that he is sorry for letting himself down, as in every aspect of life. It is not about his dad. Love watching this journey! U guys rock🔥
The old guy had the REAL tattoo on his arm so I think it's him.
I can't wait till they react to "WHY" for when NF drops that Let You Down line they're faces are gonna be like 😱
A Read somewhere that it 's im talking to his youger self and i also cried the first time i heard it it's on my car playlist now btw great reaction as always love this chanal
This is the song that made it to the radio. He references it in a later song.
This is about his early life when he had to move in with his father because his mother's neglect and possibly her boyfriend abuse there a lot grey area in complete details but he was quoted in a interview in 2017 saying in regards to the meaning of the song "It’s just about me growing up feeling like I didn’t really have much of a voice or I wasn’t being heard. Now that I’m an adult it’s just me expressing some feelings I still feel but also feelings that I’ve worked through. Through my life from being a kid to a teenager to being an adult now it’s like when you go through those phases and when you look back, you look at it a lot different like when people say you look back at your past when you’re older and you look at things differently it’s like such a real moment for me right now."
Yes it's Nate-NF dying to his old self, a core tenant of his faith. Great reaction guys :)
New subscriber here thank you guys
I honestly feel like this would be one of the first ones u react from him
Did you notice the tattoo on the mans arm at the end of the video? The man IS NATE
He's talking about his dad. After he sas drink it off he says something about how 'we both know you're gonna call to mom acting like there's nothing wrong'. I think that nailed on the coffin that he's talking about his dad. Neither of his parents really raised him and he made a song about his mom and I think this ones geared towards his dad.
