They say certain songs find you when you need it most, you were meant to go through this journey now. NF somehow always knows how to put what we’re all feeling into words
Love how the woman lost everything in pursuit of success and how the guy with nothing envied the successful woman not knowing she's just as depressed. Moral of the story wake up and be happy despite your level of success in life. Great reaction 🔥
The longer you do the journey for, and the more you listen to NF. The harder it will be to stop, because you want to see if the next song will hit and connect. And he will connect, just a matter of time.
This is why he has the tightest most loyal fan base cause he puts are feelings in words we never thought was possible and you will understand it more when you get to therapy session the song
For her, she sacrificed her whole life for money and lifestyle and she is now empty, but for him, he's seeing her and thinking she has this beautiful life and he's angry for not having it. Basically, he envies her but she's miserable.
Dude in the video of the second verse was working for the woman in the first verse. Let that sink in, especially with the line "Point your finger at God and tell him to do his job..." Pointing out the fact that he thinks her world is the perfect life he wishes he had, not knowing her reality. He needs to"Wake Up." She needs to realize and wake up that she was chasing things instead of family.
Even in the darkest days and your faith is tested, that’s when you need to stay grateful and thankful to God! In the words of NF, the rainy days are what give you love for the sun! We need to go Through trials and tribulations to appreciate life after we get through the difficult times and it makes us a better person for it!!
I love your guy’s reactions in every video. I like how you take the time to acknowledge and sometimes point out how you relate to the lyrics. If you haven’t added NF’s song “Remember This” to your watchlist then I suggest you do cause it’s pretty good
Man this song hits hard, I went through about 5 years of drug use with pain pills and pretty much anything I could get my hands on and mind you I've been with my wife since I was 15 years old so she tolerated me for all those years and it kills me when I look back and realize all of the signs that were right there in front of me but I was so blind to it, I was living in autopilot and reality hit me when she sent me a message saying she didn't love me anymore and that she just couldn't tolerate it anymore, that was a real reality check thankfully we fixed our relationship and this was about 7 years ago and we are going strong and we introduced a new baby boy into this world so the relationship blossomed but it all came crashing down in one text message so if anyone out there is going through a drug addiction please be aware that you may convince yourself everything's okay but you 100% are missing a lot of things and once the people in your life lose all hope in you that's when it's going to slap you in the face and buddy it's going to hurt so wake up while you still can...
My interpretation is that NF is super frustrated with himself, but also other people who don't help themselves out of depression and anxiety. I get it - I get frustrated with myself for that reason, too. It's an emotional response when you don't know how to handle your own distress.
NF has made so many fantastic songs that both are lyrically amazing and create a perfect story. Some of my favorites to watch people to is definitely “How Could You Leave Us” “Therapy Session” and “Clouds” (so many more) another video/song that is amazing is definitely “Story,” in my opinion this particular song really paints NF as a lyrical master for exactly what he told.
Just binged all your NF reactions, NEED MOAR!!!! 🤣 Keep up the good work! Skillet is one of my favourite bands, don't hear them being mentioned often. Keep up the good work!
Hello from Greece guys!Another awesome track with meaning!In a shoot of this particular one behind the scenes he has mentioned that no matter how many material things u have ,they don't offer you the true happiness. #NFREALMUSIC Awesome reaction once again!!!👏
You know when you listen to a song many times and then one day it just hits different? You guys just triggered that with me and this song. Wow. That second verse though. Enjoying your NF reactions and have been binging those today. Keep up the great work.
Gentlemen. I have done this journey many times with different reactors. I’m 4 into sharing in your journey and I am legitimately impressed. Subbed and a fan. Thank you being REAL
I just discovered you guys and hearing the way you are analyzing this song at the end of it made me subscribe to you. I fully enjoy and appreciate the fact that you seem to truly have faith. God bless and I'm gonna binge the rest of your NF reactions now!
Great reaction! I think you both interpreted the song the way I do and I like how NF makes us think and it's a "medicine" / therapy for me. I'm really looking forward to "NF month".
Hey Guys! Once again I loved your reaction. I am Christian and one of the things I loved about him is that he is so real. So many Christian people go around with this veneer of perfection and won't let anyone feel normal for showing cracks. God loves us regardless and He loves us even more when we are at our realest. Only then can his grace work on us.
It is hard to ballance true value on the scale of life... without first removing the scales from our eyes... blind lead the blind till they runright out of time... ;) Love the channel gize...
For sure, totally agree, its also a means to say that you should see and enjoy the life you have now, do that when your older and you wont go to your grave with so many regrets about what you could have done or accomplished and its about enjoying the journey as your on it, not just when you reach the peak.. because you will look back and realize you were too caught up in everything else you would have wish you could have enjoyed it while it was there
What I see is 2 people focused on one thing, (one being caught up in success and wealth, and the other being angry at the world that he can't have what they have) , to where they neglect the things in life that matter and they need.
New to the channel. Just dropping in to say you guys are great! Loving the reactions and getting those goosebumps from NF’s music all over again. Something super cool about following NF for so long and seeing other people react to him the way I have. Loving it guys!
my life was in that comatose state where I just exactly knew what was going to happen! I just could not live with myself, so I just quit my job, I'm movin in another city, I just wanna "wake up". People keep asking me if I'm scared because of the new job, new city, or or even new country, but the thing is I'm more scared of staying in this comatose state than scared of failing. I enjoy watching your reactions because that is exactly how I feel.
I saw this one as, both were focused on the things others had for their entire lives and because of that, they both ended up alone when they were older and the video was them imagining the things they regretted not getting.
Something I've always taken from the music video is that he's showing that stuff like this can happen to men and women. Everyone struggles, it's not relegated to one gender or people group. Life can get to anybody
There not together. He is just telling the story of each side. One that has it all in the beginning and the 2nd half is the one where he doesn't have much as the other. But great reaction. Love your guy's videos with nf, can't wait to see more.
I absolutely love NF. I'm so pleased that you guys know of him and react to him! This song reaches everyone, a beautiful piece to say the least. Both of your guy's reactions are awesome! You guys are two of my favorite reactors. Keep it up!! 🤘🖤🔥
I'm so excited to see your reactions to this journey. The songs and videos only get better and better. And def can't wait to see your reactions to "How Could you leave us " 😬 and also "Story" because that video is insane. And Non NF requests would def be Ice Nine Kills. Esp the Silver scream or Welcome to Horrorwood videos (those two albums) that are horror movie inspired songs. The music video are also inspired by the movie and also have their own storyline mixed in(there's an order to watch them). I think you guys would LOVE them and the videos.
I know this is veryyyyy late but Nate actually made a little behind the scenes video and says that 'wake up' is about how 2 people can live incredibly different lives but feel the exact same
My 'thing' since i was a kid in the 80s has always been rock/metal, rap was never my thing until Eminem turned up (i know, mainstream. But you have to start somewhere) i discovered NF a few months ago and every time i hear him i think he just gets it. No swearing, no half naked women, no guns, just pure words. And the feels, ohhh the feels. And im proud to say it took me a while but i did 'wake up'. Life is not about the things you get from what you do, the nice car, the big house, the designer clothes etc. its just about what you do. Give me a choice between more money doing something you hate and less money doing something you love i'll take the smaller bank account every time.
The yelling at God part! Little story about me: I lost my mom when I was 12, lost my dad when I was 18. They both came from religious homes. And I remember just wanting to scream at the top of my lungs to tell me what the fuck He was doing?! So yeah. Definitely know that feeling.
This song broke me down like a double barrel shotgun (yea I’m a hillbilly) and helped me get out of a benzodiazepine addiction too… Christ made it possible but Nate shook me… Praying for y’all… u have become my faves my Friends… also.. the parental advisory sticker comment ur gonna hafta eat 😉 😉
This is the song about Reality checks. To stop seeing through Rose colored glasses and Reach deep. Find your True goal, and Wake up from your norm. To Run Towards your goal, away from your Routines.
He knows because we aren’t alone. Even tho it feels that way. We need to talk about mental health so much more! It needs to stop being stigmatized and swept under the rug.
We have had some great ppl making sure we had it down correctly so we don't mess this up. It's Important to you guys and us.... this journey is absolutely incredible. Notepad will be out tomorrow.
@@Rykerroad Thank you, you will not be disappointed in NF as he progress per album.... NF consider himself as an OUTCAST in the hiphop genre, because he has created his own lane The majority of his music is produced by tommee profit "his bestfriend"
hey guys! i’m new to your channel but i absolutely adore you both and i felt called to share some things. i don’t know either of you so i’m not making presumptions, i just want to share my perspective even if i interpret things you said differently than you meant them. “when things are not going the way you think they are, how could you not fight with Him?” and “i fight with God all the time”. i understand these statements greatly. i used to be so negative and get pissed about the petty things too. sometimes i still do. us humans get stuck in cycles like this because we do not know what is best for us. we like to think we do but we do not. we live in a toxic, egotistical society. we’ve all forgotten how life is supposed to be. so when it doesn’t turn out the way it is “supposed to” we get upset and we tell God to do his job. And because he knows what is best He smiles sadly and says, “I am”. we are constantly being guided and steered towards the correct path, the one that leads to happiness and fulfillment and peace. we just struggle to remember that. it we forget completely. we’re stubborn beings and must of us do need to wake up.
the mother in this video. she believed (as society teaches us) that the material world is what matters. and that it determines your self worth. she had a lot and because she focused on it she neglected what truly mattered. and learned that the hard way. hence why she smashed everything. the young man. he works his life away (again as society teaches us) and also believes that’s what determines our worth. but he can’t catch his breath and he “can’t do anything right”. he’s “worthless”. different situation, same message. although these feelings become consuming (i am personally there) you still need to live in the moment and appreciate what you DO have. i know it’s easier said than done, i still struggle everyday. everyday. but if you continue with negativity then that will remain your reality because you manifest your reality whether you believe that or not. another fact society doesn’t want us to remember. this is why we are all so lost and depressed and unfulfilled.
the number one thing though? there is a balance to literally everything. we just need to relearn how to find it. i promise. the last thing i wanted to say 😊 “how does he know?”…beautiful question. nate and i grew up in the same lifestyle. lower-middle class, abused, neglected, traumatized from our parents. around the absolute worst kind of people. drugs. settings typical people would describe as “sketchy”. in mansions he said “i gotta thank you for this anger that i carry around”. true. we carry SO MUCH ANGER because of the injustice we endured in our childhoods that we grew up seeing the world…how it really is. the worst of the worst. which means we hit TRUE rock bottom in early adulthood (i’ve just gotten out of mine this year) and our anger brought us face to face with THE decision this video is calling everyone to make. it’s just that our trauma brought us to that point a lot sooner than others. we can continue to fight like hell and go for the life that we dream of and we KNOW we can create (with the balance of self compassion and knowing when to stop and appreciate the moment, regardless of circumstances). or we can continue to view the world with the negativity and bitterness and hate that our abusers passed down to us, thus passing it on to others. (when people say the abusers were once the abused they are 100% correct and it works the same with neglect and manipulation as well). so i’m the long run our abusers and our hate are what we have to thank for our drive and our passions. this is why we feel called to share it. nate through his music and me through…well, this for now 😂 so. this is how nate knows. how he hits the nail on the head every time. he’s awake. which is not what society wants, meaning you have to truly FIGHT for it.
i know that’s a lot i just felt called to share it. i admire you guys and i see your truths in your reactions. please feel free to message me if either of you feel compelled to. i hope this got to someone who needs to hear it 🖤
Probably my favorite people who have reacted to NF. I love watching people who actually appreciate music go through the NF journey
Much appreciated. Thank you.
Same here. I’ve watched hundreds of reactions but they stand out to me the most :)
@@sasham6960agree
It's not even close.
Currently watching all their reactions to NF and i have to agree with you!
They say certain songs find you when you need it most, you were meant to go through this journey now. NF somehow always knows how to put what we’re all feeling into words
Fun fact this used to be my alarm, all I heard was “WALE UP, WAKE UP,
Love how the woman lost everything in pursuit of success and how the guy with nothing envied the successful woman not knowing she's just as depressed. Moral of the story wake up and be happy despite your level of success in life. Great reaction 🔥

I think it’s saying wake up to what’s really important in life, relationships and people, not material stuff or you’ll miss life and be alone
I have tears rolling down my face watching this
This was another deep one.
@@Rykerroad true
Even in the darkest days and your faith is tested, that’s when you need to stay grateful and thankful to God! In the words of NF, the rainy days are what give you love for the sun! We need to go
Through trials and tribulations to appreciate life after we get through the difficult times and it makes us a better person for it!!

Thank you for sharing this. Overcoming that is very hard and I’m happy for you
My interpretation is that NF is super frustrated with himself, but also other people who don't help themselves out of depression and anxiety. I get it - I get frustrated with myself for that reason, too. It's an emotional response when you don't know how to handle your own distress.
I've been in and out of therapy my entire life and my inarticulate response is kind of dumb, but I meant well. UGH.
Thank you for doing NF, It's really satisfying to see his content reaching more and more people that need it that can help them in life
NF is one of few artists who's music I always feel. Always so real and heavy
NF has made so many fantastic songs that both are lyrically amazing and create a perfect story. Some of my favorites to watch people to is definitely “How Could You Leave Us” “Therapy Session” and “Clouds” (so many more) another video/song that is amazing is definitely “Story,” in my opinion this particular song really paints NF as a lyrical master for exactly what he told.
I think he is telling people to take care of what is important in life. Family, love, being happy with yourself
Just binged all your NF reactions, NEED MOAR!!!! 🤣 Keep up the good work! Skillet is one of my favourite bands, don't hear them being mentioned often. Keep up the good work!
I love Skillet....u listen Stars?
Yessir!!! Been waiting for more NF!!!
Uhuuuu watching from Brazil!!! Big fan
Hello from Greece guys!Another awesome track with meaning!In a shoot of this particular one behind the scenes he has mentioned that no matter how many material things u have ,they don't offer you the true happiness. #NFREALMUSIC
Awesome reaction once again!!!👏
If your going down the NF rabbit hole, how could you leave us is a must, very emotional song.
Can not wait for this journey
You know when you listen to a song many times and then one day it just hits different? You guys just triggered that with me and this song. Wow. That second verse though. Enjoying your NF reactions and have been binging those today. Keep up the great work.
The rich and the poor feel the same way that's what you are missing
Favorite song on this album! 🔥

thank you for everything
So hyped for the rest of the NF journey boys! You guys remind me a lot of me and my brother, always making each other laugh and joking around.
For sure, totally agree, its also a means to say that you should see and enjoy the life you have now, do that when your older and you wont go to your grave with so many regrets about what you could have done or accomplished and its about enjoying the journey as your on it, not just when you reach the peak.. because you will look back and realize you were too caught up in everything else you would have wish you could have enjoyed it while it was there
I love you aren’t afraid to talk about God. Your relationship with Him. But no religion. Just the struggle and relationship. Well done, sirs.
nfrealmusic! great reaction as always bro's! NF always comes into the lives of people that need healing! Stay blessed!
One of his best songs. One of his most real.
You're spot on, Eric! #NF 😎
What I see is 2 people focused on one thing, (one being caught up in success and wealth, and the other being angry at the world that he can't have what they have) , to where they neglect the things in life that matter and they need.
Ready for this 🍿
Finally yayyyy more NF!!!! Been waiting....
You two were definitely meant to take this journey! Much love 💜💜💜 you hit this one right on the head.
That’s how I have always taken it. You guys are great. Thank you!
“I fight with god all the time”. Preach brother.
Awesome reaction!!
Love NF!!
❤ NF and ❤ you guys
I'm really enjoying these reactions
YAY FOR NF!!!

I'm so excited to see your reactions to this journey. The songs and videos only get better and better. And def can't wait to see your reactions to "How Could you leave us " 😬 and also "Story" because that video is insane.
And Non NF requests would def be Ice Nine Kills. Esp the Silver scream or Welcome to Horrorwood videos (those two albums) that are horror movie inspired songs. The music video are also inspired by the movie and also have their own storyline mixed in(there's an order to watch them). I think you guys would LOVE them and the videos.
Yeah, is so versatile 💪😁
I know this is veryyyyy late but Nate actually made a little behind the scenes video and says that 'wake up' is about how 2 people can live incredibly different lives but feel the exact same
Of course we liked it
Never heard of NF. I’m on this journey with you!
My 'thing' since i was a kid in the 80s has always been rock/metal, rap was never my thing until Eminem turned up (i know, mainstream. But you have to start somewhere) i discovered NF a few months ago and every time i hear him i think he just gets it. No swearing, no half naked women, no guns, just pure words. And the feels, ohhh the feels. And im proud to say it took me a while but i did 'wake up'. Life is not about the things you get from what you do, the nice car, the big house, the designer clothes etc. its just about what you do. Give me a choice between more money doing something you hate and less money doing something you love i'll take the smaller bank account every time.
First 2 seconds tears engaged fire when ready
Love u guys ...he always hits ya feel bone ❤❤❤❤❤
this is my alarm every morning. 🔥🔥🔥🔥
I LOVE THAT! REAL MUSIC TIL THE DAY WE DIE! ❤️❤️🗝️
I love your reactions! ♥
Im Pretty Sure The Story Here Is That His Mother Was On Drugs And Overdosed Which Put Her In A Coma And Eventually Killed Her
Well guys this is art not everyone is gonna have the same meaning to different people at different times
Yall be smooth great channel u guys earned a new subscriber stay up 💯
Damn… that God bar was some real shit.
you guys are great I really enjoy watching your videos keep them coming
This NF journey is absolutely amazing! 💜
NF is our THERAPY SESSION
It seems to show how he thought her life was perfect because she was rich, but they both had issues. And good takeaways.
The yelling at God part! Little story about me: I lost my mom when I was 12, lost my dad when I was 18. They both came from religious homes. And I remember just wanting to scream at the top of my lungs to tell me what the fuck He was doing?! So yeah. Definitely know that feeling.
This song broke me down like a double barrel shotgun (yea I’m a hillbilly) and helped me get out of a benzodiazepine addiction too… Christ made it possible but Nate shook me…
Praying for y’all… u have become my faves my Friends… also.. the parental advisory sticker comment ur gonna hafta eat 😉 😉

Y’all have to react to - Paralyzed by NF
hey guys! i’m new to your channel but i absolutely adore you both and i felt called to share some things. i don’t know either of you so i’m not making presumptions, i just want to share my perspective even if i interpret things you said differently than you meant them.
“when things are not going the way you think they are, how could you not fight with Him?” and “i fight with God all the time”. i understand these statements greatly. i used to be so negative and get pissed about the petty things too. sometimes i still do.
us humans get stuck in cycles like this because we do not know what is best for us. we like to think we do but we do not. we live in a toxic, egotistical society. we’ve all forgotten how life is supposed to be. so when it doesn’t turn out the way it is “supposed to” we get upset and we tell God to do his job.

the number one thing though? there is a balance to literally everything. we just need to relearn how to find it. i promise.
the last thing i wanted to say 😊 “how does he know?”…beautiful question. nate and i grew up in the same lifestyle. lower-middle class, abused, neglected, traumatized from our parents. around the absolute worst kind of people. drugs. settings typical people would describe as “sketchy”. in mansions he said “i gotta thank you for this anger that i carry around”. true. we carry SO MUCH ANGER because of the injustice we endured in our childhoods that we grew up seeing the world…how it really is. the worst of the worst. which means we hit TRUE rock bottom in early adulthood (i’ve just gotten out of mine this year) and our anger brought us face to face with THE decision this video is calling everyone to make. it’s just that our trauma brought us to that point a lot sooner than others.
we can continue to fight like hell and go for the life that we dream of and we KNOW we can create (with the balance of self compassion and knowing when to stop and appreciate the moment, regardless of circumstances). or we can continue to view the world with the negativity and bitterness and hate that our abusers passed down to us, thus passing it on to others. (when people say the abusers were once the abused they are 100% correct and it works the same with neglect and manipulation as well). so i’m the long run our abusers and our hate are what we have to thank for our drive and our passions. this is why we feel called to share it. nate through his music and me through…well, this for now 😂
so. this is how nate knows. how he hits the nail on the head every time. he’s awake. which is not what society wants, meaning you have to truly FIGHT for it.
i know that’s a lot i just felt called to share it. i admire you guys and i see your truths in your reactions. please feel free to message me if either of you feel compelled to. i hope this got to someone who needs to hear it 🖤
Late comment but the song you mentioned at like 3:50 is it by chance Hurricane by I Prevail?
