Love and appreciate each one of y’all!! I’ll see you on the next video reaction!! - Zábava
one of his saddest songs. the ending part where he’s crying and talking is just raw emotion where he asked the people in the studio to leave so he could be alone.
I read ur comment and was sad then I looked at ur pfp and started dying💀😂
his saddest song, it was
That’s the realest thing I’ve ever read
Hate myself and this makes me cry
@@wyeth1023 He actually had to stop when he was in the studio when he recorded How Could You Leave Us and Hate Myself, becuase he got so sad :( Love his music and especially those to (sorry for bad english)
Don't ever stop making these videos they are my therapy they saved my life
I can agree these videos have helped me
Thanks Preston, for watching and commenting 😊👍
I relate 💯 please don’t stop reacting to music
For all of you who relate, please go Get help! Trauma is real, please seek help and heal. Everyone needs someone to talk to, no shame in it. For each step you take the next one will be easier. Think about people around you and stick around 💖
100% agree thank
You making these videos they help
More then you know
This is his hardest hit song emotionally. That last snippet he requested everyone exit the studio because he was just overwhelmed with such raw emotion. He decided to keep it in the song. You did a great job holding it together!!! I would only hope NF would see you reacting to his music!!! I hope you react to dream breathe and remember this soon!!!! Those are arguably my most favorite tracks from him!! Keep up the great work!
Thanks so much Zachary! And thanks for sharing!😊👍
@@ReactionTherapyOfficial To add on, he went over the ending part with his engineer with the full 30 min auto clip and they decided on what the most powerful phrases were. Those phrases were the ones that made it into the song.
Remember this is a really good song
I've watched dozens of reactions to this video. I never felt as emotional as I did with this one. I can tell, part of the pain of every patient you see is imprinted on you. Your empathy is tangible. What a great, awful reaction. Much respect.
Thank you Trent! Very kind of you, glad I got to watch this😊👍
Ive heard this song over hundred times. I still cry by the end. My mother is also heavily addicted to xan and mixing it with alcohol. Has been sense I can remember, I'm 27 now. This song hits home and I just hope it isn't the same outcome one day...
Stay strong brother. Hope for the best. Hope she overcomes it soon. Trust God 🙏🏻
the fact that shes made it this long mixing xans and alc must mean she still has a greater purpose on this earth dont give up on her man
Sometimes it's not in your power. All you can do is be there for each other. My blessings to you and your mother mate!
@@HC-sb5ck I hope you’re doing well and things get better for you brother
My mom beat her painkiller addiction I sent this to her and she teared up. if you need someone to talk to DM me.
I'm a mum, and I've hit rock bottom. The strange thing about mental illness is relentlessness of the voices. Mine constantly tell me my son would be better off without me. I took antidepressants which only intensified the suicidal thoughts, which is around the same time I stumbled upon this song. It dragged me back. I couldn't do this to my son. Thank you for your gentleness
Wow! Your comment just broke me in two. Thank the universe you heard this song when you did. Mother is the name for God on the lips and hearts of children.
My mom is a user. Has had so many issues. I promise you as a son, that your son loves you and needs you tremendously
Is there anything your son could've done to save you? My mom's been clean a while but there's something that's making her close to relapsing, and I just want her to stay clean because I love her but she always just shuts down and cries when I tell her anything.
The breakdown you do in these videos makes these some of the best reactions. It's more than just watching you watch a video, it's getting the explanation too.
Thank you 😊😁
I never made that connection before until you mentioned it. In the last verse , when NF said he brought some of his music for his mom to listen to and she started crying saying this wasn’t her ... I wonder if the songs he was playing for her contained lyrics about how he felt about her addiction. Maybe he couldn't “talk” to her about it , so he was trying to get through to her the way he felt most comfortable ... through his music.
Yep, very sad that she couldn’t see him and what he was doing!😊👍 thanks so much for sharing and supporting
I remember hearing that NF actually had to step away from the mic several times while making this song. The cries and voice breaks you hear in this song are very much likely real and aren't just for the video/song. This song gives me chills every time.
I lost my mom 23 years ago to a drug overdose. I've heard this song a thousand times and it's still incredible every time.
I’m sorry for your loss, David
Im so sorry for your loss!
Be strong! 🥺✌
Oh
I remember when I first heard this song. I was out on a walk and the song literally stopped me in my tracks. So tough to listen to but great at the same time. I'm so thankful I was fortunate enough not to experience things like this when I grew up. I don't take it for granted, ever.
Such a powerful song, so sad. It really puts into perspective the fight against addiction. The impact addiction has on a whole family is so saddening.
Such a difficult but important part of NF’s journey.
Thank you Tom
I’ve heard this song often, yet every time I still burst out crying.
This song gets me every time I hear it and believe I've heard it probably 100 times. He said in an interview that this was the toughest song for him to write and record in the studio. Things started getting o heavy at one time during recording that he and Tommee went yo see a movie and came back to finish recording. The end part he wasn't going to put in the song. He had written another verse, but he decided to leave it in because it was such a raw emotion in him and it meant more to the song. She died when he was 18 and now he is 30. He said he has since forgiven her and understands that it was the addiction disease getting her. It wasn't truly her. Great reaction, Tom!
Thanks for sharing…and thanks for the support!😊👍
When he recorded this song he had to leave the studio in the middle of it. He said he was so upset that he couldn't go back to the studio to finish the song for a few days. All that crying and pain is pure and raw.
I can't thank you enough for doing these reactions. NF is a voice for all of use that don't know how to express ourselves the way that he can. He is nothing short of a gift, shouldering the burdens of his fans and moving forward. Your reactions thus far have been really insightful and I look forward to more of your videos in the future. Keep up the amazing work!
Thank you so much, I love doing these reactions and I loved this once 😊👍
NF's lyric's @ 12:57-13:03 about how much it took him to not scream @ his mother's Funeral & that the person who was speaking was pitiful really hit home with me instantly.
I experienced similar feelings @ my father's funeral.
NF is one of my child's favorite artists, and they only got visits with their dad in a supervised setting with a person taking notes on everything. I've listened to all of their favorite songs and artists to better understand, and this song always crushes me because I know they're hurting and using lyrics to communicate that. I'm so grateful they shared the music they love and connect with, because it's helped us connect more deeply, too. I'm thankful NF and other artists share this way because my child has needed them as an outlet and someone to relate with. Their therapist was great, and I've always been there, but hearing your experiences and feeling expressed by someone closer to your age is something else. So cathartic and healing. I'm convinced music like this helped my child get through. Thank you for your reactions and breakdowns of these songs.
What I love about nf is he never swears in any of his songs. He gets his point across without it
My sister died of a heroin overdose in 2015 when she was 22 and I was 16. My mom and I adopted her daughter who was born addicted. From personal experience it is so hard and emotionally exhausting to grieve someone who you love but are so angry at for the things they did. Even 6.5 years later I think about her every single day and after a lot of therapy I realized it is okay to love and grieve someone and still not forgive for everything they did. This song made me sob the first I heard it about 3 years after she died
as someone who has lost both parents to pill addiction this song hits me harder than any other song I've ever listened to
i had the pleasure of seeing him in concert when he was still a pretty small artist. his music has changed me and so many others, specifically this song gets to me because i can somewhat relate. i appreciate you doing this it really does help, absolutely amazing
Thank you 😊👍
When he says “I wish you were here, Mama” I physically ache wanting to hug him. Makes me thinks of my boys calling me mama when they were young. I couldn’t imagine.
I think you'd have a lot of insight on a couple of songs by Witt Lowry:
Last letter - a story about losing a loved one
Oxygin - the ordeal of someone struggling with substance abuse
Great video as always. Really enjoy your content.
Can second this, Witt Lowry Last Letter is a fantastic song and so is Oxygin
Last letter is one of the rawest songs out there
Witt Lowry is incredible
silicone kingdom too
Between your intro, calmness, demeanor, the tranquility in your voice and giving deeper meanings to these videos, you’re amazing. You’re in the right profession and helping so many. So glad this channel was on my recommendes. #newsubalert
I love NF, but it wasn't until I listened to this guy that I realized NF is just in pain. He just has a beautiful way of putting his pain into musical form
This was the first song I listened to by him. I was crying so hard to this song. Those are his true emotions.
You said, “that music is his therapy” funny, he has an album called “Therapy”. His Genre is Christian Rap.
He tried 5 times in the studio to get through the end of this song and he couldn’t do it without crying.
When he tried to finish it for the 6th time the people in the studio walked out to give him privacy. He finished it. Then he decided he would publish it. This is his published version.
Everytime I listen to this song it reminds me of my relationship with my father. He was an alcoholic the first 13 years of my life. I would cry for him at night, my mom would have to comfort me and she was honest with me about where he was. It was always “you know where he is, sweetheart” and all I wanted was to see him but he chose alcohol over me for a majority of my life. After sometime, I became used to it. Used to him not being around and everything. Now, he doesn’t drink anymore but the relationship that I cried for when I was younger isn’t there anymore. I love him to death, but he chose alcohol over me, and that out a huge dent in our relationship and it just doesn’t and hasn’t ever felt like a normal father/daughter relationship.
Very nice! Thanks for sharing and putting it all out there!😊👍
YESSSSS THIS SONGGGGG!!!!!
Seeing you have real emotions as a therapist is refreshing. The therapists I’ve had just sit there and nod. That does nothing
Been waiting for this one
So glad this got posted again. Great reaction and commentary.
man i love this reaction AND your analysis :) you seem like a great guy, i’ve watched a couple of your videos now and you’ve got yourself a new subscriber and a new fan of your work :) keep it up man i respect it and love it🙏🙏
Lost my mum in 2018. I was 16 at the time and to this day, everything I do is to make her proud. That’s another reason that I got so into nf, I relate to him and I feel like he relates to a lot of people the same way. This song makes me cry every time I listen to it at the end when he’s just talking and crying in the booth. Thank you for doing this reaction and giving me a therapists insight into the song.
Thank you!!!😊
i really enjoyed this and its great to catch it from someone whos had extensive experience with these experiences second hand. thank you for this. new sub
I wish you all the best tom:) great reactions.
So glad u did this one!!!!!!
I love these videos. I've been here from the beginning with Juice and I've been watching almost every single video. These are great. I love the kind of person you are. Keep it up!
These reactions to some songs I love are really helping me. I'm so glad I found this channel.NF helps me to, so this is just perfect. Another song from NF called "Let me go" or "The search" are also worth listening to.
Thanks so much for this 😊
I rly wish i had someone like him in my life to talk about everything. Keep doing your videos i love them
Whenever I smell beer I think of my Dad. I remember him hugging me as a kid whenever he would come home from a night out. The smell brings back happy memories.
What kind eyes you have. I’ve heard this song many times with a saddened heart, but this is actually the first time tears flowed. Thanks for sharing your insight on these types of situations. You’re appreciated.
These videos have helped me realize situations in my past that have shaped me today. I truly thank you for giving these reactions and helping others understand why we feel the way we feel
YES!!! Thank you for reviewing this one :)
Sir you seem like such a genuinely good and kind person. Thanks for the react videos
Therapy Session came out in April of 2016. In June of 2016 my mom overdosed and this song is the most relatable song I have ever heard in my life. This song hit me like a truck when I first heard it and a few months later I lived the song. It helped me get through one of the darkest moments in my life.
Thank u Tom this is so heartbreaking i always cry when i hear or saw it
this song hits so close to me i cry every time i hear the pain in his voice, i helps me feel less along but i’m so sad he had to go through that as well
This song has always been so emotional to me. Honestly, this song and Paralyzed are the two songs that seemed to really hit home more for me
Always enjoy your reactions🔥. Keep it up sir.
Wish you a happy blessed life Tom.
When NF makes a therapist say, "this is too much" lol I just got a giggle out of that. Love your reactions!
first time seeing one of your videos and I subscribed. Love the break down especially as an adopted kid who went through something similar but i love the educational aspect of your breakdown. Will be checking out more of your content
This song is just truly so heartbreaking. Even through all the anger and sadness you can feel that sense of forgiveness from him. Thank you for reacting to this
thank you so much i can relate to this song pretty close excpt with my dad and i never got to see him
This song defenitely hit feelings differently for me since I grew up without my parents but especially my mum… speaks right out of my heart… and what you said about it hits again.. thanks for this, appreciate it.
i can tell you screened this video and it broke tears, to then go through and assess this a second time almost immediately after is awesome. Raw emotion is human. good job.
As a sister with drug addiction this song always gets me in my feels. Just everything I had to witness and go through and the mean things she said and did to me, this song I relate to so much.
The same children you remember and know go through this are the same ones who listen and love NF for openly talking about trauma and internal pain. It’s sad but beautiful how pain can connect so many people.
I waited soooo long for this, thank u for reacting to this ❤️
😊
Thanks for reacting to this! It definitely is a harder one to get through, so we appreciate you sticking through it for us. You can definitely hear both the little kid missing his mom and the adult being angry at her for what she did, while still missing her. Keep up the great work!
Thank you! Very good insight, it was tough but so good to see😊👍
No matter how many times I listen to this song I always cry. Thank you for this reaction. I love your videos so much!!
Thank you for this reaction. I have viewed inumberable reactions to this video. Several by mental health professionals. Yours was by far the best. Looking forward to viewing more from you. Thanks again.
this song makes me cry everytime. after my childhood and now as a mother... it shows a lot to see that a therapist can carry others feelings and that they really are affected by our problems. people underestimate that and its unfortunate. keep doing this for people who need that outlet and are too afraid to go out and search for that help.
Thank you Tom. Love it. Going to better help right now. Love the reaction!
This might have been the best analysis of this song I’ve ever listened to most people just listen to this and just says it’s sad and ends video you actually gave a thoughtful understanding and perspective on one of the most real and raw songs I’ve ever listened to
Appreciate the reactions! Helps me understand the addicts I work with daily as an addiction counselor and how I dealt with the trauma in my life as I progressed in recovery (15 years). Why I started my channel a while back..it forced me to get out, deal with my anxiety and panic attacks.. Best thing I have ever done. Figured I could sit at home and live with regret or get busy making a better/happier life. Thank God I did
I can tell you have a big heart! Good vid man keep it up!
Man, hits it right in the feelings indeed. That part when he sings "Feel like I lost something that I never had"
I grew up on the streets without parents as well, fending for myself. That's exactly how it has often felt and sometimes still feels like.
Such a unique gift these musicians have, to put all those things into words so accurately. I never was able to put all these feelings into words, and still often can't. But when listening to these kind of songs, it does helps sometimes just to let all these emotions out.
Love how you've organized your reaction channel as of late, couldn't have built a better foundation, happy to see it building continuously. You're insight is inherently entertaining.
Thank you for this reaction. I loved it.
This song saved my life I owe NF my life he saved me I've been clean for 2 years and I still have my son I love NF ❤️💕🦋
Thank you so much for your reactions.❤
I'm so grateful for Nate's music.
I grew up for the first two years with my parents, who are both drug addicts, then I went to a children's home where my parents were not allowed to visit me and my grandma's visiting hours were shortened.
To this day I remember the pain when she left.
I later moved in with my grandmother when I was about five years old.
That went well at first, until her threats came at some point: "I'll kill myself" "At some point I'll just leave" "I'll put a thread in your neck" and many more, she never did it, but the threats were enough .
Our relationship continued to get worse and I no longer had anyone to rely on except my best friend's father.
He first sexually abused me when I was thirteen and it continued like this for five years.
I couldn't talk to anyone because I was scared.
Afraid that no one will believe me, afraid that my cousin and my friend will grow up without a father because I know how that feels like.
It all came out earlier this year and I reported him.
But I'm still scared and still feel alone.
I'm already mentally broken, I have depression, social phobia, fear of abandonment...
I don't dare let people in, so I push anyone away that comes too close to me of fear of getting hurt.
I just don't know how much more I can take
All I know is that I can't give up. I can't be like my parents.
So I hope it gets better at some point and try not to hurt myself again.
Nate raps about so many things I've been through, and even though I never feel understood by the people around me, at least there's this music that makes me feel less lost.
I apologies for my English I am German
Thanks for your Videos. Love from Germany!
Love the videos. Respect for you uploading daily!
Thank you, we are trying!👍
This song means a lot to me personally bc my mother was never around as a child as well and sort of the same thing happened with me where she would always promise something and never follow through. And I’m 23 years old now and I can’t ever forgive her for not being in my life and making my childhood so sad and full of struggle. Watching this made me cry my heart out and that felt so great. I love your videos so glad I found you. I’ve always been scared to talk to a therapist about my trauma but music has always been my escape my way of coping with the pain. So seeing a therapist. React to some of my favorite songs truly is a blessing.
Something beautiful I've seen from NF is you can see a progression in his music, from talking about his past, to talking about himself, to talking about others, in his most recent album the song called "Just Like You" He changes the tone to directly talk to his audience, and supports them! I think it's amazing to see how (at least from an outside perspective making guesses based on his songs) he has overcome all the horrible trauma and struggles he's been given and been able to overcome it all, and make something to help others.
It's amazing to see how many people go through the same things in life. If you're going through things don't be afraid to seek help. One love 🙏💜
I never had problems like he had and I have great parents, hearing the pain in his voice still gives me chills
Just found your channel here when looking for more NF Reactors...Just wanted to say thank you for the content sir. New Sub.
I love this song it's in my feel better playlist. It truly speaks to you
my father didnt die to addiction, but the smell of unlit cigarettes still makes me think of him every time. he always had a pack in his front shirt pocket and climbing on his lap as a little kid i remember that smell like yesterday. the way the brain works is crazy
Thank you for making this videos. I struggle with as who I am or why am I this way. I barely remember any happy childhood memories. Imagine having both parents but yet it feels like they we’re never there. Stuck with this unknown empty feeling. Life sucks man
Hang in there and keep trying to make tomorrow a little better than today😊👍
I relate with this song so much and it kills me to listen to but helps me at the same time and the countless times NF has helped me stay on top when I just feel like being underground is unbelievable. I appreciate everything this man does. He has helped me through so much
Dude I've been waiting for this video for so long
Glad we finally got to do it! Thanks for watching!😊👍
I just wanted to say thank you very much for this
It brought me to tears when I heard this for the first time. 🥺 He's carried more than any child/person should have to. It's heartbreaking.
An amazing song, and an amazing analysis from you Mr. Stevens
I love your videos so much, they help a lot to relax and expecially when you react to songs i love listening to
Thank you!!!😊👍
This song makes my eyes water every single time. It's 100 percent emotion
Had to come back to watch this 1 year later because i just love your NF reactions and the way you break it down. ❤❤
Thank you Nikki 😊
So glad I came across this channel. ❤
Love the reactions! they just get better.
Thank you!😊👍
I really didn’t expect to like your channel. However, I do and this is so cool!!
This... Wow... Your reactions... Thank you... Nf has help me so much.. Looking forward to being appart of the reaction therapy family
Thank you so much for your reaction. It was priceless.💜
Wow. Your reactions are just on point, doc! Didn’t skip not even a second on what you said on this video. Done sub!
I’ve heard this song many times. It really hits home for me. My mother abandoned me and my 2 brothers in 2004. Before that time there was physical and sexual abuse. I was 7 then and I’m 25 now. My life is a mess. I blame a lot of it on that experience. The older I get the more I learn. Like she tried to OD 9 times while growing up with her. It affects my relationship with EVERYONE!! One of these days I’ll be able to afford therapy.
Thank you for doing this reaction.
