- Wow! Intense song!
You can see that we were having fun before starting with trying to figure out what NF stood for. We were having a joyous time until the song "How Could You Leave Us" started. You can see an instant change in our demeanor.
This song literally brought tears to my eyes. It took every ounce of MANLY strength to not start full-on crying. It was because I connected with NF the artist. I connected to the pain. It hurt so bad. I was hurting for him in his experience. I hope you did not notice my tears. I think it was not very noticeable. Lol
I cannot wait to hear more NF. I really, really want to hear more of his music.

Here is my NF schedule:

So now NF could stand for new father lmao hes awesome and so are you guys
NF stands for Not funny
Thanks 👍🏻
Im not sure if you know this now or not cause im to lazy to scroll through about 500 coments (not including other videos) but NF is his initials.
Ps NF just found out he’s going to be a father. Wish she would be here to witness it.
oh fuck...... damn dude
Awww bittersweet
What he is?! Im so happy for him T.T
I heard that too its a baby boy isn't it?
It sucks, when I heard about him having a baby this song was the first thing I thought of
Nf stands for His name Nate Fuerstien
Awesome, thank you for that.
Feuerstein*
Which is completely random because his name is Samuel Brown. Just kidding his name is Nate but I'm a smart ass. His music is always honest and he's very vulnerable. Try Intro from Mansion album Intro 1.
nate john feuerstein(fa'i-stein)
nah I like the not female thing
NF brands his music “Real Music” , and it is. No cursing , meaningful , and about real life issues. Not all of his songs are this sad and emotional. He’s extremely versatile. Check out “Why” , “The Search” , and “If You Want Love” , and you’ll see three different sides of his music.
yesss, I cannot wait....that is so cool. That is the type of music I like...."MEANINGFUL"
NF = Nathan Feuerstein his artist name was his full name before but he changed it because alot of peope could not pronounce his name so he change it to NF
Love Nf And Tom Macdonald! Old guy should watch some Tom Macdonald
@@crashbandit7270 NOOOOO... Sorry man, but Tom can't hold a candle to NF. Tom's a friggin snowflake, pretending to me some thoughtful rapper, I gave up on him after he his 5th song in a row, that was exactly the same, boo hoo cancel culture, every one is woke, I like trump, I don't like trump, I'm socially conscious but not woke, have I mentioned I don't have a label, me and my Nova do everything from our apartment....yadda yadda yadda, talk about a broken record. And his hooks, my god man, his hooks, could they be any more corny!?
@@sunshynff Yeah, Nfs my top favorite also.. I tend to only like a handful of toms songs. I agree to much wokeness.
You guys just found a gem of an artist. His music literally saved me and helped me deal with depression, other issues and such a tough time in my life. You’re going to be so happy you discovered him.
Thank you for telling me that. I appreciate you! I am so glad it helped you. I cannot wait to hear more NF!
After his breakdown NF was able to forgive his Mom and realizes she was dealing with her own mental health issues and now is ashamed of his anger. Which is self destructive because it was an honest reaction from a kid.
Well, the anger is justified though.
@@matthewcaimbeul8722 You got that right. Anger is healthy suppressing it can cause all kinds of self hate.
His anger is justified absolutely but her pain and suffering with her own issues are also justified as well. It sucks but everyone’s feelings are valid.
He definitely shouldn’t be ashamed of it AT ALL-It’s something he went through.
NF says that he would never be able to write this song today because he doesn’t feel that resentment or anger towards her anymore.
Music being able to encapsulate what he felt is what makes music so powerful.
My husband’s mom was an addict. She could never allow him his feelings. So I think he had to get it out to move on. Thankfully my husband and his mom healed things. First she had to accept his feeling for him to forgive her.
The last 45 seconds of the song are actually his true raw emotion he actually asked everyone to leave the studio so he could have some time to cry and speak to his mother on the track
Hello Everyone....From this song, I have become a true NF'er. I am going to take a journey through Nate's music that will prove to blow my mind. I cannot wait. I will react in sequential order starting from Mansion. I am sooooo happy you guys told me to react to NF. I will react alone and with guests. Thank you, Thank you, Thank you!
Yeah your best bet is to either just do each album in order, song by song, or to take the NF Journey. This is the most common order I’ve seen for the NF Journey. Each song foreshadows to the next and references the song before it. It’s a crazy Journey that lets you understand NF and his life and music. Great reaction btw!

Oh you're in for a treat on this journey you're about to take
He use his life experience and life events to make his music u need to look at his life history he has been though a lot
Less than 30 seconds in, I love the energy that you both bring right away! Liked and subbed
"Mansion" is a great one. "Only" is one of my favorites, but you'll probably need the lyrics in front of you because he raps pretty fast in that one. "10 Feet Down" is pretty amazing as well.
"I'm not loving it because it's breaking my heart"
That's why it's so god damn good. It's real.
NF and his wife just found out a couple days ago they are expecting their first child
Before they played it I was like they ain’t ready men they ain’t ready. It’s to real for them.
NF is one person and it stands for his initials. He is a rapper, no cussing and it's all real.
My mom died from pain pills. This song hits so hard. I can't blast this song in my car but I can play it when I need to breakdown and release my emotions
I'm sorry?
My mom died from addiction this song hits my head and heart at the same time and I just brake down
Keep ya head up G 🙏 you too Antonio
I can't believe you guys reacted to this song first. It's the most emotional raw song that he has in his catalog as of this point. But he definitely has a lot more music that you can constantly play on repeat. I appreciate you guys for listening. As for a request, there's so many that its hard to choose. So I'll go with The Search. ✌️
I know, right? However, this is the best song I could have heard first. This song catapulted me to want to hear every song NF has ever made and more. When he talked about how his mom does not get to hear his music....it made me want to be a super fan for his music. I am a SUPER FAN....and I only heard this one song. I cannot wait.
I'm here for your NF journey.
The fact that the last verse was just him crying in the studio and he wanted yo just let it roll to show how deep it really was, thats deep
They weren't prepared for this at all. I knew it as soon as he said, "band".
When I first heard this song, it hit hard for me, like really hard. It made me cry so much. I lost my mother when I was 12. I’m now 16 going on 17 and hearing this song just remind me of how unexpected death can really be, please people, tell your loved ones how much you really care about them as soon as you can. They could leave at any point
NF is paving the way to talk about mental health musically to the point where it needs to be addressed. His music is versatile and You do need to take a break from his music every once in a while to reflect. All of his albums (and a solid portion of his songs) is converted into this Picasso where it literally outlines his life displaying his vulnerability, selflessness, and constant struggle with depression, anxiety, fear and suicidal thoughts. It’s not all doom and gloom as he is now happily married and is making self improvements. His music, as I like to call it, is reflection rap. Songs like “If you want love”, “Change”, “Only”, are only a few that personally I think are his masterpieces. Not because it does well in sales but because it shows the importance on reflection. There is a journey to this and it is long and winded but the outcome of it will make you much more appreciative of what NF brings to the genre. There’s even a CZcams video called “The Power of Vulnerability” (NF) that explains how NF is becoming genre defining. You have a new sub! Remember it is okay to take a break from NF every once in a while. (Although it is hard since his music is so good but it can take an emotional toll)
Yes, I have started the journey. It will take a while, but I have to be patient to let it all sink in.
Coming from someone who’s also a Marine, Paralyzed is what hits me the hardest and it might you as well.
Sitting here waiting to home our first child as foster parents, I don’t even have the words. Music is its own therapy 😔❤️
Wow, you are awesome! I appreciate you. You are a true blessing. Thank you!
This song is his opening, his mom really was like this and in the part he's crying that's real and raw his people left him in the booth alone to give him time alone...
Mansion by NF is my favorite it’s like a book of his trauma
I am going to do it for sure.
@@oldguyreactions Do mansion and then do intro III, I think the 2 songs are connected
Mansion is about all the thoughts in his head and it makes him feel like he’s in a mansion because he feels like he’s all alone in a big house and every room has a different memory he doesn’t want to remember it’s along those lines
@@elat9635 all his songs are connected it’s like him telling a story about his life each album is about a specific topic of his life and how he feels that’s why they are named the way they are
Agree
This song hits so deep. My mom is a single mom, always had been. My “father” was an alcoholic and addict who OD’d when I was 12.
🙏🏾🙏🏾
NF honestly has the most loyal fan base. I would highly recommend reacting to more of his stuff.. he deserves more recognition!
I have to say one thing...
NF is like therapy for me, many other people could and would agree that is why they listen to his music. I relate to his songs a lot, and I may not know him personally but I relate to his songs a lot.
“I wanna hear more because they aren’t all sad” well about that, most of them are
I work as a paralegal in family law and we unfortunately see way too much situations like this where the kids are taken from their parents and it breaks my heart everytime, because it affects them wayyyyyy more than we might think... Great song
Yesss, Thank you for what you do, I appreciate you. That would be the worst job for me, but someone has got to do it.
Nate (NF) is an artistic phenomenon.
I can see that!
I actually do listen to this in my car when driving because it's so real and emotional. Took hundreds of times of listening to this song before I could keep from crying. I still tear up a little but honestly it helps keep me grounded knowing that I have such a great life compared to others
"if you really cared for me then where you at then" that shit hits fuckin hard, addiction is fucked
those of us who appreciate NF do so because of his willingness to take us on the journey that is very personal to him. It makes him so relatable because he makes us feel.
I'm an older person who found out about NF. I think he's an incredible artist. No curse words and true thought and passion in every song. Excited to follow you guys in your journey!
Imagine how hard it was for him to make this song. It’s a sad song but it’s his truth and for that I respect him!
They’re all pretty much about his pain and confusion, every song he does is like that, but, he helps so many people with his music, it’s mind blowing.
If you can make a person cry from hearing a song, then you're an amazing artist. This song NEVER fails to make me cry. I get so emotional, especially when I watch people's reaction vids to this song
NF is probably my favorite artist, and I'm not even that into rap. I came here to see this because I'm always curious to see how people react and what they have to say or share about this song. What I learned instead was that you are foster parents and that hits me deep. I was a foster child, thank you for what you do.
I also lost my mom from an overdose of pills and alcohol, but later when I was in my 20's. NF (Nate) lost his mother at 18 yrs old, but she was not in his life because of her addiction. I know that feeling of not having your mother in your life and that pain never goes away. It's always just under the surface.
NF is a whole other level of music, it's therapy. I recommend doing the NF Journey. His music is complex because he ties it all together and will reference things from previous songs, etc. It's like coming in on season 4 of a Netflix series if you jump to his current album. And just a bonus, (for me anyway) he never cusses.
Thank you for sharing. I love your comment. I have started the NF journey. I will start with Mansion.
@@oldguyreactions Thank you! :) Start with Intro. All his Intros are like a thesis for each album. When you finally get to The Search the actual song The Search is also the Intro for that album. NF said after his third Intro (On his 3rd album) he felt 3 was final and would probably start using album names as intro songs from now on. If that makes sense, I'm not quoting him verbatim.
Please start the NF journey!! Start from the beginning, his first album Mansion song by song til his most recent album The Search, you wont regret it I swear, he is the BEST rapper EVER for me! Which song links the other, he uses metaphors you need to listen to all songs in order to catch it cause if you don't you wont understand what he means, and it's important so you know what he's talking about! I hope this makes sense lol
You know I am....I cannot wait! Starting my journey from the beginning.
👌🏻🗝️🖤
NF has mostly an emotional songs. But they are timeless and for me they will last forever.
Try The search and then take a decision how to proceed from there, cause NF is a story
It's just that you have started from the deepest song and for me the saddest one.
Subscribed for more NF! Great reaction.
This song, as depressing as it was has launched me to want to hear all of NF. I want more. I want to know his story, I want to hear his thoughts in music. I love this song despite how sad it was.
@@oldguyreactions
if this is the case so welcome to the journey. Start with the search first IMO
You will love him. He is real. But I not going to ruin it for you. Find out.
After the search you can go to his Mansion album. And don't worry someone wil come with the journey list to guide you.
Have fun...
As a kid that grew up in a hard side of town nf hits every nail on the head. This song cam bring any thug to tears we have lived it. We have seen it. God bless
Thank God you have pushed through it. You can be a light for others going through it. Thanks for sharing.
Justin bieber and NF are almost the only artist i listen to and im sooo happy that you found NF cause his music is the best way to heal yourself when you’re going through emotions. Thank you so much for reacting to both of these guys!!
Yessss, I can see that in both...great comment.
"Selfishness ruins humanity" preach it.
So important stuff to talk about. NF is the best. He raps about his mental health struggle.
So important. I love it.
I'm watching this now and listening back to his insecurities about having kids when just a few days ago they got pregnant. I'm so proud of him and how far he's come.
Man I am go glad you’re getting into this guy! I’m typically a heavier music fan but NF is incredible. I know a lot of people are recommending the search but I think instead of the most popular song, which is not always the best one, you should try “Change” or “Hate Myself”.
Well, I get it. I have no idea until I listen. But I can tell you one thing. This is the best song I could have heard first. This song catapulted me to want to hear every song NF has ever made and more. When he talked about how his mom does not get to hear his music....it made me want to be a super fan for his music. I am a SUPER FAN....and I only heard one song. I cannot wait.
@@oldguyreactions that’s so cool! I’m glad that you’re finding music you really love doing this channel. I’m stoked for more NF, but don’t forget, you also promised me a heavy song somewhere on your list of 200 requests haha.
As a kid who suffers through so many mental health issues and someone who is scared to leave my house due to mental illnesses i also suffer severe anxiety and depression just on and off. It could happen in a matter of moments. I dont think i would be on this planet without NFS music
This song holds a certain place in my heart. As a child of an addict who ultimately chooses her addiction over me, it's hard sometimes to express just how that feels. When I first heard this song I wept for days. For the first time, I actually had something that I could relate to when it came to how my childhood felt. I have shared this many times with people in my life who just don't understand what it felt like, and what you go through when you are dealing with this.
NF has helped a lot of people through his music. As someone stated below his song The Search is a good place to go next.
Ohhh, I cannot wait for more. This song was incredible!
No it's not.... That song is from his last album. This is his first Album
Can't get NF of NF once you start...
it is 'addictive'...
He is good for this world we live in
and NEVER cusses in his music...
Great Reaction... be BLESSED ;)
I love that....so what your saying is he is wholesome and not dirty and nasty....I like that.
@@oldguyreactions In fact a line in Green Lights he says 'been droppin' clean records but they nasty..' lol
Lol, so funny!
He used to cuss but he stopped doing it because he realized he doesn’t need to be like everyone else to get his message a crossed
Ayo I just burst in tears. I forgot how much this song took a toll on me. Ngl after I listen to his songs I feel almost like I'm in therapy you know? I don't know how much it feels as though my issues gets mended every time his rage speaks to me.
Please check out his song " the Search"
Writing it down now!
@@oldguyreactions It's also an album! It's his most recent one, and his most recent song Chasing_(Demo) hits me haard
i cry every single time. doesn't matter that i've listened to this song at least a hundred times, i cry EVERY time
I love how you can see him grow from album to album. You are taken on a journey from his traumas to his suffering, his growing and his experiences.
For me he is forever the best artist in my life. This man gave me something nobody else could. Not my friends, not my family, not even my girlfriend. And it was true understanding which he gave me.
This man saves lifes
Such a deep song and meaningful message, Another good one is NF - Leave me alone
"But I don't need a picture of my mom. I need the real thing." That line always gets me. She can't be there all the time especially due to her addiction. It's quite sad but that isn't an excuse to not care for your kids.
i'll never get tired of watching people react this song/nf
My two nieces ages 2 and 4 live this exact life. My parents won custody but thankfully my sister is still with us
Thank God! Wow! Thanks for sharing!
He made everyone leave the studio when he was recording the ending so that he could truly be himself and not be embarrassed or uncomfortable letting his heart out and crying in front of everyone
Yea that is amazing!
"why do i feel like i lost something i never had?" that hit home when it comes to my father
Please keep up with the NF journey 🖤🖤🖤 huge fan here
He said in an interview that he isn’t really mad at his mom anymore. He understands his mother’s situation more
All the emotion! It's so real! wow that touched me! I'm crying with you nf I'm praying 4 you 🙏 you wrecked me may your mother rest in peace so sorry 4 your loss.
Welcome to the NF train, it gets deep he raps about his emotions and does it with class. You guys are my new favourite reactors - love from Australia 🇦🇺 🦘
My brother is a Marine, too! Thank u for your service!
NF has helped me through so much in life. But you need to go in order. Start with his album “mansion” and work from there. It’s important to go in order because the music and videos tell a continuous story.
His music is important, it tells the hard stories of life and he doesn’t cuss which is awesome.
Welcome to the NF family!
Yessss! That is exactly what I am doing. I am so glad his music has helped you.
Welcome to the NF world. I found him 2 years ago after a divorce. Your in for a treat. Love seeing people's first reactions to listening to him. They have no clue what there in for. One of a kind and Real Music. Enjoy
My favorite songs are the sad ones, they are the most relatable... Those are the ones that are going to last a lifetime for me
His songs help a lot of troubled kids feel understood and heard💜
do the NF Journey it wont disappoint, i dont like rap but NF is always with me
For sure have started a new journey.
👌🏻
I lost my mom the way this song describes and it hurts to hear this
I cry everytime I hear this song , yet I keep coming back.
NF is awesome 👌🏻
Y'all started on the toughest one. Hell of an intro.
Lol when you paused it the first time and said “this ones gonna be hard” my first reaction was damn fuckin right it’s gonna be hard it’s Nf
Do more of NF most of his songs aren’t depressing. His music is humble and Christ centered.
This song, as depressing as it was has launched me to want to hear all of NF. I want more. I want to know his story, I want to hear his thoughts in music. I love this song despite how sad it was.
Old Guy Reactions, Thanks for your reaction. I’d love to see your reaction to Mansion.
Old Guy Reactions if you’d like to hear more recent stuff from him...go with the search album. Change is a good one, my favs from it are Only, and I Miss The Days (so relatable). After that if you want to understand how NF mind works ... buckle up and go for the NF journey. It’s long and it’s excruciating at times, but it’s also mind blowing.
he isn't a christian rapper tho
just putting it out there
@@iammayyz he definitely is a Christian ✝️
You guys seem like two incredible human beings! I appreciate that now a days more than ever. Great reaction guys. More nf please he’s incredible and so deep and versatile
🖤🗝️🖤🗝️🖤
This is hard. I lost my mom 4 years ago. She gave everything she had plus her life to the bottle. I get on this kick every couple months when I’m feeling down missing her and listen to this. I can relate so much and am grateful he wrote this. It’s strange, because he is releasing his pain, but in a way when I hear it, I release too. Thanks for your video.
Taylor, thank you for sharing that with us. I appreciate you.
Nf is an amazing artist. You should listen to many more of his songs. What he's doing is awesome. He sings about everyday life and what he goes through. Something we can all relate to as human beings. And he does it all without cussing and incorporates God into a lot of his stuff
This song can never be replaced or bettered it is his heart and soul in that you really feel it
Nf the search best album of 2019
I cannot wait to hear it.
Not all the way through the video, but thank you for understanding that addiction is a disease. Not a choice ❤️ you have my support
Now I’m even more further in the video. I love you guys so much. Thank you for understanding ❤️
Do more NF every video has a powerfull meaning
For sure!
My aunt uncle and aunt foster and adopted my cousin and I love her so much she is part of the family I was so excited they told me that they were fostering her and the day they adopted her was so great!
This is a solid reaction. I get the not wanting to play this but for me this song is something I play. I found this song cause I was able to take a friend to an Andy Mineo concert. He told me to check this song out. Deep meaning behind it I have strong feelings about sobriety. March this year I was able to get a 10 year chip in the mail. To see my Mother’s look when she saw me have few tears. It’s not an easy road. I have no kids. I’ve failed relationships and let so many down. But I’ll play this because this is what can happen it doesn’t matter if it’s drinking or pills. I found this reaction late but great job!
I love how raw Nates music is
If you are into singing Nate there is a duet
he does with Britt Nichole called Can You Hold Me...
I feel that would be a great introduction to follow this one...
it is very uplifting.. ;)
I am writing it down.
This is why mental health is so important!!!!
this song is just deep
I know, it makes you want to listen to all of his songs.
The way these songs make you feel is why these great songs you're listening to are so loved.. it's a way for many of us to not feel alone. To better understand our own feelings and feel hope
Resist the urge to jump ahead or listen out of order. NF is one of the last few ARTISTS to tell a story. Start from mansion and listen in order and be mindful that it’s all tied together. It’s brilliant.
Trust man....I am starting from the beginning and I will not jump ahead....great comment..I appreciate you!
Being as foster parent as well I’m totally getting the message and it saddens me to the core….
I get the same nervous laugh when something gets me, good reaction!
NF is so awesome. I am sure you are gonna love his music. The Search.....Mansion...Therapy Session...so many great songs !!!
They weren't ready for it
Hey guys! Glad you have started the NF journey.....there is another that you should listen to of his called Nate....With this song you just watched and listened to in mind...listen to Nate.It is basically a letter from him now to his younger self.
Songs like this spell out reality, and too last the times! Could feel real pain in his voice and throughout the song. NF definitely one of top artists 💪👍🤟
Finally another good reaction channel!! Psyched for these guys, keep em coming! Happy 2021
I am taking the NF journey....stay tuned..thank you Tom.
Love the reaction guys!!! Keep on reacting to NF he has a lot of emotional songs and they all have a wonderful meaning. Start from the start and go in order I do recommend it you will enjoy it very much!!
Bro I love your videos so much. You’re such a good dude. Much love
Thank you brother! I appreciate you!
NF is such a huge inspiration!
Especially cuz I have been thru the same struggle!
Creating music is legit the only therapy one needs.
Honestly, every single song by NF is...words can't fully do it justice but it's always real and raw and so relatable to me, pain knows pain and his music has become a major outlet for me during the darkest and lowest points of my life when no one else was or is. I hope you continue to check him out, you won't be disappointed
