I think i've just watched you fall in love with my favorite artist. great reaction, take the journey, start from the beginning  🔥🔥❤‍🔥❤‍🔥

Nate(Nathan) is his name and the dark character is is old self. He had struggled with mental health and past traumas, also he discovered before his “The Search” Album he has OCD. There are so many call backs to other songs in this one. The question of definition of success was from ”Why” where he didn’t have an answer. The women’s voice is from a song from first album “Mansion” the other person is Nate  is his old self. Map to hope referred back “the search” which is the album with the balloons  are his burdens. The old guy was from “let you down” and the cage and keys are from “outcast” also first time he said in a song that he forgave his mom, see “how could you leave us” (Mama is follow song to that one) to name a few of the connections haha. There are so many connections between songs and even more with the music videos. Recommend the NF journey if you like his music. He is my favourite artist… period

You've stumbled onto a gem. Scratch that, a diamond! NF is absolutely amazing. Can't wait for you to see more! There is "the journey" you could take because later songs reference earlier ones and make them hit harder. But, any of his tracks are solid on themselves. You choose, your channel! Either way, this dude is special.

ИF tells a story, his story and its real through his music. He is the journey list in order of release and story, if interested or for reference.

~Paid My Dues 🎥
Rolling Stone published a pretty nasty, and extremely biased, article about NF's "The Search". The writer is a huge fan of Chance the Rapper and was pissed NF's took the #1 spot over Chance. This song is Nate's "response" to said article.(Nate is so clever, “pay your dues” is a Rolling Stones song, he doesn’t write anything without purpose) which the whole mix tape seems to be. As at the start of the song “clouds” refers to the article calling him a one trick pony which the whole mixtape is showing off different skills flows etc proving them wrong.

🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥Best artist on the planet!

This is my first time on your channel, and I'll subscribe just to watch you take the NF journey! NF has literally changed my life, I'm alive because of his music. And now my daughter loves him too. You found a GEM in NF. 👌🔥

Thank you so much for reacting to HOPE.  I have this saved and will be watching it later today when I have time and can appreciate it!! You rock thanks!!!!

New sub! Please more NF!

Thank you I really enjoyed it ♥️
And happy birthday to you 🎉

Great reaction and introduction to NF!

NF has over 35 billion streams world wide! Hope tour sold over 500k Tickets! Please check out this album!

NF has an entire journey that spells out a lot of his past. "Hope" is the culmination of over a decade of his music with a lot of references to past songs. In the NF universe, fear is a physical entity. That's what he was arguing with at the end of the song.

Amazing reaction ❤  Please Start the “NF Journey”

Love how in the 30 years rant, NF said "Hey" "Nate" Wait" when his darkness was coming out. NF is the greatest of all time PERIOD, imo lol

Always here for the journey. Wonderful reaction~

You should react to Olivia Rodrigo Guts spilled. It’s blends a bunch of genres like rock, pop, and ballads. It’s critically acclaimed, and she writes her own lyrics and plays most of her instruments she uses on her songs. It’s really good ❤

🔥

There's references to like 5 other NF songs in this video and you'd appreciate and understand this one a lot more if you watched the others first.  You have to go back and start at the beginning.  This one and many other NF tracks gives me the chills.  I consider this his Bohemian Rhapsody because of the all the change ups and how great each one is.  Oh the guy in black, I believe that represents his former self and the black balloons tied to the shopping cart and in the room are his burdens.

0:30–1:00: Drifting & early references

2:20: Flash to a map — straight from The Search (“map to hope”2:54–3:36: The mansion & old self remembered

2:54: He’s dropped into a mansion, echoing Mansion and Clouds — a metaphor for mental rooms and past traumas  .

Scenes include falling, balloons, and mannequin breakdown — callbacks to Destiny, The Search/Leave Me Alone/Why, and Returns  .

Inside, there's a room full of regrets and a cell with keys, referencing Mansion and Outcast/Perception  .3:58–4:16: Confronting past & forgiveness

3:58: He’s “kidnapped” by his former self — Green Lights reference  .

4:12: Forgives his mother — lyrical callback to How Could You Leave Us  .

4:44–4:51: Fear says he’ll never evolve — echoes Intro III, Clouds, and LOST  .

4:58: Nate seizes control: “I’m the one in charge,” repeated in the final crescendo before “reigns”  .

Do the journey, meet the outcast, hear their story to how we became outcast in the first place and why NF's music finds you not u finding his music.
