NF helped me humanize my pain 3 years ago... It's complicated but, thank you Nate.
4:59 he says leaving my burdens, well I brought a few with me. And points to the balloons. Such a good metaphor because we know burdens weigh you down. So the shopping cart or trolley seems empty but not quite.
NF has been able to put to word thoughts and feelings I've struggled with for years. Well worth exploring.
Thank you for covering this. This is amazing. Hope is also a great song
Been anticipating this one for a minute!
I LOVE IT!!!AMEN
Since you're already appreciating his message and overall talent, I suggest you do follow the listening order so when you get to Hope, you'll appreciate it all even more than just doing that one early.
Excellent reaction! It makes sense that you heard NF in your exercise routine - many of his tracks are on my workout playlist. Incredible artist of remarkable depth / substance (not to mention SKILL)... and, as you noted, production value ๐ฅ๐ค๐ค
Hey Beth long time sub of yours, cool to see you do something a little "out of the box"! I've listened to NF for years and I highly recommend to watch all of his material in order. He uses a ton of repeating metaphors and visuals. It's really quite the experience. I think most recommend starting with the song "Mansion" which is a fantastic song.
My daughter got me into him and I took her to his live show. I didnโt know much about him at the time. He was absolutely incredible live and made me a fan immediately. Iโve since dove in to his catalog and itโs all so impressive. Loved that he did his show with a live drummer. I will definitely see him many more times.
I discovered NF in one of the hardest times in my life and his music and messages truly saved my life.๐
Highly recommend the journey. Amazing to see growth and maturity through music.
She's started the journey and I'm here for it
NF is my favorite rapper for 3 reasons 1. He never curses and i can listen to him around my family. 2. He talks about real life and real problems instead of girls and cars and stuff. 3. His flow is kinda different and makes me feel this motivationish feeling
Absolutely love your little info pop ups.. and your vocal and music metaphor breakdown is hands down awesome! NFREALMUSIC!
Yes yes yes more NF for some of the most raw and vulnerable lyrics you ever heard!
"The balloons are holding him back." ...so true! his burdens are holding him back. I'd never been into rap before NF, and only NF. I love his singing voice too ๐ But even more so appreciate his ongoing search for hope in his life. Makes you self reflect a lot. I'm excited for you to experience his emotional journey...he's come a long way! ๐ฅฐ
I've been an NF fan for so long. I've watched hundreds of NF reaction videos. Your perspective was great and so unique. Your analysis of the instruments mixed with NFs timing and lyrics, created a masterpiece. Great video ๐ P.S. Please go down the NF rabbit hole, and take the NF journey. I'll sub now, waiting for the journey.
For me it is one of the great works of art of the 21st century a perfect combination of the classic and the urban.
