4:16 it's cool I watch to see what think you are 1 of the good people in this world I believe. 😎😎

[@christianeconomupro.3498]

This is not a good first reaction to nf, it honestly makes everyone hurt. A better song would be, "Real" or "all I have", but its still a bop tho.

[@wellsy626]

Shouts out from down under bro if you like story telling rap pls react to a story by 360 called tiny angle as a father you will understand if you do it .....old as shit but amazing and i havnt seen you do any Aussie rap yet could be wrong but ....always 🔥 reaction brah kzbin.info/www/bejne/gqaymXeVi6dqr5Y

[@mariaisabelrodriguez7875]

Love your channel!!! Keep up the good work 👏👏💪💪 fan from Chile... react to Remember this by NF ... great song!!!

[@kylegoldberg3852]

Bro there ain't shit to be ashamed of when I first heard this song I was tearing up the whole time just goes to show you how talented he is.

[@erikahunter5937]

This was the 1st song I ever heard from NF and I was deep into a heroin addiction and a single mom to my daughter. This song hit me super hard as I pictured my daughter thinking some of these things. This song was the moment that made me change and seek help. That was 17 months ago and I am the sober mom my daughter deserves and has.

[@waverider-17]

Proud of you Erika❤️ Your daughter will be one day too

[@alecminor474]

AWESOME NEWS. KEEP IT UP

[@deevo6478]

So happy to see this comment this gives me hope

[@songbird4330]

You are an absolute superhero. Your kids can now say “my badass mom beat addiction, something that a lot of people can’t do” CONGRATULATIONS! Awesome job!! SOBER FOR LIFE I PROMISE ITS POSSIBLE! ❤️❤️❤️❤️

[@ericmontoya3447]

I'm a dad! But I can relate.. it makes me feel pain from alot of regret. Im just great full im able to make amends. Its not perfect.. but im free and iv built alot of good relationships that I could have gave up. 🙏💪

[@johnwalker6977]

This is what is so special about NF. He has a song for everyone of us. This one was yours.

[@jon_because]

👍

[@nicholegallo1664]

And mine.

[@trai8]

Yea it’s awesome but it’s a lil ironic/shitty that it’s this one cuz this one makes me drop tears almost everytime

[@corbinsligh1463]

My mom and dad had me listen to this song awhile ago because they realized their wrongs. I remember seeing my dad crying to this. Its deep

[@nicholegallo1664]

Corbin Sligh I wish I cloud be the one to show this to my mom. Her story fits well but she was an angel regardless

[@brennan-az5460]

While recording this, he asked everyone to leave the studio he wanted a private talk with his mom. That pain is 100% as it happened in the song. He is incredible

[@westleyparker7810]

This song showed me how much I was taken my mom for granted. How disrespectful I was, I called her right after and just apologized with everything I had. Changed my life

[@jordanrayne4779]

I always grew up looking at my peers and the way they would treat their moms and the way they would complain about them and being so sad and jealous. All i wanted was my mom, i would have given anything to have what they took for granted

[@nuffsaid8706]

It’s a very honorable thing to put our pride and ego aside that blinds us…. Jesus Loves You!… Forever Grateful, One ❤️ Love

[@javkhlanankhbayar6421]

i wish i was brave like you

[@zoeith6]

This gentleman was abandoned at 3 years old and he not only has a very succesful career, but has an incredible family he includes every day in his life. Sir, you ARE the American dream. Keep it up LFR

[@hellalyfe]

That last part fam, he asked everyone to clear the booth/studio cause he felt he needed to finish that song alone. I connect with this whole song but that last part gets me every. damn. time.

[@eb6973]

Wow didn't know he asked everyone to clear the booth. But makes sense I would need to be alone to record it and even the video & him crying.

[@1976dracos]

It doesnt make you "unmanly" to shed a tear man. And I truly, truly feel this song to the depths of my soul! I am a "metalhead" and I do listen to NF, because his music is so fucking real! Cry, man! It is allowed to happen! Please, please, please check out more of NF!

[@JonBlaze1014]

This is probably the only song that has ever made me shed tears. My mother struggled with pill addiction when I was in my teens and I almost lost her twice. Fortunately for me, after years of dealing with depression and addiction she got help. I'm not religious, but her faith was probably the biggest factor in her getting clean, along with my sister and I leaving to live with our father. But I could have just as easily been in the same shoes as Nate. So like you, this one hits me hard. My mom's been clean now for 20 years, but those feelings still rise to the surface when I hear this song.

[@ChrisSmith-ci5ii]

Same page brother, only difference is my dad and step mom were the addicts, the bio mom was in prison when I was young, found out when I was 17 that she wasn't in prison for what I was told when young, but actually for pedo shit, so now i don't have a mom as far as I'm concerned.

[@erikanorman928]

Same

[@brianjomoj7628]

Shows you how real God is

[@natemotivation8523]

❤💯

[@adamwilliams2679]

So glad she made it, man. I hope someone who needs the inspiration comes across her example.

[@AussieCreeker]

Van I appreciate your honesty. I used to sit on the front stairs waiting for my dad to turn up, every second Friday. I would sit on those stairs and I would watch every car come around the corner and would get my hopes up that it was Dad and then it wasn’t. I would sit there for 5 hours on the stairs till I would give up. I never break promises to my son. That’s probably the worst part of my memories of Dad. We don’t talk and I’m 50. I’ve only really known him for 20 years as I chased him down in my 30’s and saw him till I was 40. He has shunned me and he has two other sons so I’m some sort of diss appointment to him. I pray that my son never feels about me the way I think of my Dad. He was an alcoholic for the first 25 years of my life and I rarely saw him. He was always angry at me but I think it’s because I reminded him of my Mum. He just wanted to do away with that part of his life. I notice even till this day, I can’t be late for anything because he was late for everything or was a no show. Thank you Van for sharing and respect to NF. I have heard some of his stuff but now I am going to check out his catalogue. Peace and love from Australia

[@jrdnwhtny1]

I went through the exact same thing. Finally caught back up with my dad 20 years later…he’s a pastor and asked me to send him money to be my spiritual advisor

[@fawxiie]

i can tell you're a great man. you're not continuing the cycle, you're breaking it, and that's one of the best things you could do as a dad. i wish happiness for you and your son.

[@AussieCreeker]

@@fawxiie thank you. I have had full custody of my son since he was 13 and he has never gone without. We lost everything we own in a flood in February but I have done my best to give him a stable home life. He’s 17 now and has 2 more years of school and he will be the first person in my family to go to University. I was eligible but I was to poor to afford it. I don’t regret a thing though. Providing him with better opportunities in life is my job. He’s also not entitled and he works part time and has an excellent work ethic.

[@laguerrera2902]

I’m so sorry for your pain sweetie 😥 I am a recovering pain pill addict, 8 years now. My mom and dad had to take my son from age 1-10. This song broke me when I first heard it. All I could think of was my sons pain that he never deserved and how selfish I was to stay in the addiction for so long. I regret it every single day, and this song reminds me that my son needs me and to NEVER use again! For all the kids reading this, or anyone who has a parent with an addiction- please know that it’s not your fault and your parent absolutely does love you. They have a disease and are struggling. It doesn’t excuse that behavior- and I know it may not help the pain that much- but from a mother who once was the mother in this song- addiction robbed you of one or both parents- you are not alone. And I know if every single addict parent could take back what they did to hurt their children, they’d do it in a second. Love all of you guys, and I just want to apologize on behalf of other parents struggling with addiction that is hurting their children. I am so sorry for all the pain and tears. Life is precious, and our children are the most important thing in this world. If you’re a child with an addicted parent reading this- I want you to know that I love you, and you are beautiful and you don’t deserve any of the pain you are feeling. I pray you all find peace and love in life. ❤️🙏

[@TheoryofUltran]

Stay strong. Thank you for this message

[@gg-ro9jb]

God is good. God bless you

[@carpentryfirst3048]

Much love ❤️

[@dawnak.3056]

Kudos for getting clean. I wish you continued success. My brother told my Mom once that drugs will always be an addict's one and only true love. Well, his true love assassinated him a year ago, leaving behind a 22 year old son who is completely lost. For the first time in his young life, he's started dabbling with drugs and alcohol too. I'm sure it's as a means to escape his grief and it scares the living hell out of me. My brother's addiction ripped us all apart for years. I can't watch his son go through it or worse, bury him because of drugs too.

[@NoNo-wz5yv]

Anyone who’s been in foster care knows that line about the parent he doesn’t know and a lady in the corner taking notes is the realest bar in the song.

[@paulettaphillips3659]

Not even foster care. My mom layed me in a baby bed and left me when I was 18 months old and my grandmother raised me (my dad's mother). I got that line very clear. It hurts. I wasn't in foster care nor in the states custody but in WV they check on Kids that have been abandon to make sure the person who takes them are fit.

[@legendaryperson5267]

@Isabella Funk I don't want to say this but keep your distance to those who you think don't care about you. Or either you really are doing something that gets on your parents nerves, can't trust everything you say, no offense.

[@Jordyn_loveeew]

I definitely know. I spent many years in the system growing up. Thankfully at 32, it has molded me into the person and parent I am today. With therapy and patience as well. Makes me sad that it wasn’t the same for my 3 brothers. All of them are in prison and substance abusers. There’s some things you just can’t forget and you damn sure can’t forgive. Painful to think about. I hope someday they find peace. I know they’re hurting. Much love to anyone who’s been through it.

[@schloomyschloms]

Adopted since birth basically for me

[@ScottyTownsend91]

Yo I was in foster care for 2 years and homeless a little before that and let me tell you... the system would’ve broke me if I had not believed that my dad would’ve found me and my brother and got us out. I’m hitting 30 this year and I still fight demons from when I was in the system at 7-10 years old. Not trying to preach or be religious but faith is a powerful weapon. And a man who goes without his mother is just as serious as a daughter without his father and vice versa

[@Fades2Black]

Deep song. The emotion you can hear in Nate’s voice is heartbreaking. But also powerful in connecting with all of us. Sorry to hear about that Van. But you seem to be a hell of a dad to your children. Respect.

[@eb6973]

Word,I was so wrapped into the emotions he was showing that I forgot that point. He for sure seems like an amazing dad.

[@zachv3101]

My mom shot herself in front of me when I was 12. Not alone man. Love

[@CarriedAwayChannel]

I’m so sorry. I can’t imagine and am sorry for what you witnessed and had to go through. 😢🙏🏼 My belief and understanding of suicide is that she wasn’t trying to hurt you. She was lost and her mental health caused it. You certainly know more about her, but I just felt like sharing that with you for some reason. Take care.💕

[@raeannaroylance5401]

😳I am SO sorry!

[@LFRFAMILY]

Damn Zach! I’m so sorry my man🖤🖤

[@eb6973]

Just saw ur comment and I can relate to alot. Even the age 12.

[@CarriedAwayChannel]

Eeeer

[@gcmotorman6379]

By the 3-minute Mark I'm crying my eyes out thinking of my son. This must be what my son thinks of his mother. He's great, 22 and wise. She's still a mess. I raised him. Proudly and well.

[@kristalascano812]

"I know your gone but I can still feel you." Hit me right in the face.

[@michaeljohnson767]

My mom walked out when I was 9 months and my dad gave me up for adoption to my grandmother when I was like 10... this song hits so close to home and chokes me up Everytime I hear it.

[@dusman7]

Thanks for your reaction and sorry. Ususally the NF family gives reactors big warnings before they do this one. When I saw you do your normal intro before this song, I thought to myself “oh no, he’s about to run full speed into a brick wall and he has no idea.” But it’s songs like this that make NF fans fiercely loyal to him. And it’s ok to cry or feel overcome with emotion. I could see this brought up real stuff for you. Respect. ✊

[@eb6973]

Agreed

[@mattconley9589]

Couldn't have said it better my guy. They did him dirty by not warning him man. We all felt this song. Its deep fr.

[@MrBamapride27]

Fiercely loyal. I love that! So true. Out of all music and artists I’ve ever heard in my 31 years of life, his has impacted me the most 🙏🙏🙏

[@jeremyjohnson1336]

Mom passed away when I was 2. Dad abandoned me when I was 4. Drugs and alcohol got the best of him. NF speaks to me on a level that most people can't.

[@jamescorbin876]

My mom passed away when i was 15 bcuz of drugs and like you said he speaks too me on way different level

[@MyEnergyInMotion]

:( he really does..

[@georgiasmith5655]

"I know he dont cuss, so imma do it for him" I snorted😂😂 First vid of yours I've seen and I'm hooked

[@Dave-bo1yk]

It didnt happen to me, but i cannot stop crying everytime i hear this song. NF is a real true artist. I have never had such a strong emotions to an artist like i have to NF. Emotional reaction man! Respect!

[@TraciMoore1]

You came to me in recommendations tonight.... This broke me too. I lost my mother to suicide at a young age and always asked the same question why did you leave us. There was four of us kids and we were split up and I was placed in foster homes then later adopted into an awful home.. Here I am at 52 yrs of age and bawling like a baby... I feel you man.. God Bless

[@GS-xt8fu]

That was my mom too....hurts a little bit, for sure. Thank you god for my father who never left. Thanks for my wonderful wife and son. So many years ago but I could feel it, as well.

[@hardtruth7988]

No judgement here bro, we all family in this joint. Thanks Van, emotional reactions are some that I enjoy most. It helps me connect better with the reactor.

[@chuckmcdaniel4820]

As a retired career paramedic and firefighter I had seen my share of drug related tragedies amongst families. Pulling out a deceased mom, dad, son, or daughter was never easy on us or especially on surviving family members.

[@williamh.2982]

Its good man let the tears flow, brother I have took in 19 kids over the years and give them all the love and knowledge I could. Brother me up anytime....

[@MartinScheuerJr]

Dude…first time I’ve heard this. This shits heavy man and it’s an amazing song. Bless you and glad you’re doing well after what you’ve been through at such a young age. Keep up the good work and thank you for turning me on to this tune. Subscribed and can’t wait to see more!

[@katmenendez777]

“I hate the way I remember you” was the line that completely broke me. I’m sorry this one hurts so bad for so many of us. The chorus alone tears the heart.

[@patrickbseattle]

This song always hits me. NF "Returns" is straight fire.

[@applesauce4389]

There's something special about this song. Even if you don't relate or can't directly connect with the story, the delivery of it and the heartbeat and passion that come through can still get to you. I didn't lose a parent like NF, my parents got divorced when I was really young. Even though my Father stopped trying to be a part of life, only calling when his booze gave him the courage, I grew up happy with my mom and my stepdad, and this song still gets me. Just that feeling of being alone, like you weren't good enough. Cause as kids, we don't get it, and by the time we do understand we still got all this baggage hanging around. This song's not on any of my playlists, but whenever I have a shitty day and need to just be alone and feel all the shit inside, this is one of my go-to tracks. This song will always be in my mind and in my heart.

[@carrissamcwilliam5757]

This one got me too. My mum left when I was 1 and my dad put me and siblings in foster care at the age of 2. First time hearing this guy. Wow 💕

[@joereyes7100]

This video hits me Hard Glad to see NF on the channel again!

[@curtispugh4092]

This song is a very powerful witnessing tool it's soooo damn Real..

[@trentbobo4171]

Bro, I watch A LOT of reactions. It's my way of watching a clip again for the 1st time. I've only recently discovered NF. I'm submersing myself in reactions. I wish this was my first time watching a reaction to this song. So profound. I'm sorry you had to deal with that childhood pain that you must've went through. But look at you. The man and you've raised to great kids. You're still my favorite reactor, Van. You're that dude.

[@oliviar8060]

This is deep. Watching your reaction and seeing the emotions cross your face as you felt them through the song. Real shit. Nf is a legend

[@shyshy4202]

Lost my mom to an overdose when I was 15. She was in and out of rehab/jail my whole life. This song hits me where it hurts. Sending light and love to anyone hurting 💕

[@teresabewerunge9594]

yep I am crying. The pain is too much.

[@tjstrongbone5373]

I don't know if you know, but showing us you, helps brings humanity together. It can't be easy, but know that you are doing a wonderful thing. Thank you.

[@nickduncan2354]

As someone who’s also lost their mother to addiction this is the only song that puts me in my feelings. Like I don’t even wanna talk after listening to it

[@kevingee2064]

Sorry you were abandoned....a lifetime hurt that really never goes away. I was abandoned at 6. I had a house but parents gave up on parenting. Took me a lot of years to get on the right track. Still leaves a hole in your heart. I hope you've healed.

[@blt3890]

Hey i am a first timer on yall channel and dude i got hella respect for you to go trough that one, you a strong dude keep it up, thatone hit home, reaction and ofc the song even while listening it for the 200th time

[@b3r3tta95]

i feel your pain been there

[@nicoleliggett1669]

I was that mom on pills! Been sober since 2016, I still hurt because I did this to my kids. Thank God above I didn't end myself because I could have. All my friends all the people I know who died from drugs and left their kids behind to feel this ever lasting pain. It breaks my heart for them kids.

[@jordanhasche5915]

I was in foster care for 9 years and remember waiting for my parents hoping to go home only to be told I wasn't wanted. I waited 9 years to go home , when I got I was beat and told I wasn't wanted. I turned to drugs and struggled . Now 30 years later I am 41 and have beautiful children who I love and cherish everyday. I still struggle with nightmares but they keep me whole.

[@brycekeith5653]

The emotion in NF’s voice is insane...

[@sparks975]

Wow. First time hearing it. I feel It....

[@SummerBreezey]

This is, hands down, my fav NF song & it ALWAYS gets to me & him crying at the end absolutely breaks my heart 😔😢💙

[@dontbetheproblem]

😟I believe this song resignates with so many people around the world especially in the United States. From all different types of backgrounds regardless of your ethnicity it runs deep in the roots of many problems in this country. Starting with abuse and drugs. I've watched many reaction videos of this specific video and song and every time I can never ever hold back any tears it holds true and many parts of my life that I've happened but also in other parts of my family. Not to mention the deliverance of how Nate gives in his voice makes those words hold true incredibly deep.😢

[@ChantalsCitizenshipMarriage]

I just happened across your video looking for the link to NF’s video to share with someone - So I wanted to say - as a mother - I’m sorry you went through what you went through as a child. I’m sorry that the pain stays as it always does. You deserved better as a child. Much love. ❤️

[@Trubluewolf]

Respect man, nothing but respect. Never heard of this guy, thank you. Thank you for being strong enough to share this and your honest reaction.

[@mudmowerbuilds9830]

I lost my mom when I was 18. I got a car, my own insurance, job, everything I needed to continue in life to sustain myself, and she gave up on her life and died after I left to go see an old friend. That's 2 hours. Time I was gone. It was a phone call I didnt want to ever get. It's been 7 years. I hear this song and I think of her and think, "how could you leave me? Didnt you want to see me grow up to be a responsible adult and see your grandkids?" It's rare if I ever cry. I cry like a child every time I hear this song.

[@brendafiliault6259]

I can really relate to this song. My mother left us six kids and I thank God everyday for my father who raised us and every penny he made went to take care of us. I can't wrap my mind around him taking care of six kids under the age of eight. It took years to come to forgiveness for my mother leaving

[@hugoboss479]

My mother is and always has been there for me. It still makes me cry when I "try" to put myself in someone else's shoes. I am so sorry that you had to live like this. Kindest regards from Germany.

[@doubleobaby341]

never seen your channel, but i recognize an empath when I see one. Shine Bright Brother

[@leslie1261]

I can’t imagine that pain, you are worth it. Don’t let them make you believe you’re not. Wish I could give you a hug, everyone deserves a mom and dad who’s present and loves them. 🤍

[@OG_Mac79]

Van, all I can say is the pain you and people like me went thru MADE us the parents we are to our children. This song hurts on so many levels and I see it in your face as I do when I look in the mirror. You are a wonderful person, and we are lucky to have someone like you doing videos that would normally be missed by others. I rarely listen to rap, I find the treatment of women in them to be horrible so I just dont turn it on, but the rare heartfelt ones that MEAN something go missed. Thank you brother for sharing your pain, it does help when we share that pain, we realize we arent alone in it. Thank you

[@Chloee117]

First reaction of yours I've watched and you had me tear up several times. My heart breaks for you and anyone that has dealt or is dealing with something like this! 💔 Hugs from Florida!

[@richardolder9626]

What an amazing reaction video. The song is great but you were so touched by it. Thanks for sharing. Definitely hit that subscribe.

[@brendanwillmore3235]

Please react to NF “Intro” 🔥 NF “No Name” 🔥

[@amberanderson7153]

I'm 29 and my single mom battled CPS. My mom was a drug addict. Who no one really have a shit about her. Grew up in the struggle. In the state of welfare. I relate so much to this. She didn't give a shit for us growing up at all. Hated us all around. I fought the education system just to walk across hat stage. My grandmother sat with my uncle's watching me cross that stage to get my diploma. It broke my heart that neither of my parents gave a shit to be there. They didn't want to be there and this song hits me hard. Because, when he talks about remembering her. My mom just fell through door out of it. Just trashed. Some family members and friends who are drug addicts. I watched them fall apart. Be murdered, overdose and die. Friends younger than me dying at 15 from drugs. Feels like this is my whole in a nutshell. And I have cried saying the exact same thing. They we're all not good enough of human in everyone's eyes 😞 It finally caught up with them. Everyone just laughed at me like I was just going to go down the same road. I did for a moment when I took those drugs too. Found myself overdosing while my dog cried knowing I was slipping in front of her and I was throwing up blood and coming out my nose. I survived for my dog and got clean. We all need that thing to ground us and it hits me that they lost he battle. Much love and stay strong ❤️

[@Luna_0818]

I’m proud of you for posting this even though it was a hard video for you to watch. You could have just kept it to yourself but you knew it would help people too see your reaction because it hit so close to home.

[@melly_c3]

I could relate everything he said cause my mom left me because of the drugs 😭

[@eb6973]

Aww sorry

[@adonissgirl8545]

Watching this video, Watching your pain, listening to this song.....I IMMEDIATELY!! called my mom to tell her I loved her. I cried too.

[@juliedomian1420]

I just ran up on your reaction video, God bless you young man!! Not much left to say.

[@niccraig3234]

Wow never heard this song. This is absolutely what music is about what rap is about. Thank you for giving a voice to so many and bringing this to the forefront..... Moving

[@rouxdeseo4716]

NF has this way of articulating our childhood thoughts and traumas that gives us the ability as adults to finally feel it and heal from it. I was a baby when my father left and began his decent into the abyss of alcoholism. I had my mom but working 2 to 3 jobs trying to support us was she really even there? Both parents gone left an opening for me, as a young girl, to be prey to people I should have been able to trust. Creating trauma on top of trauma. I'm right there with you. I feel this so deep. I'll tell you what my trauma therapist told me "Those of us with the greatest purpose are the ones that go through the worst. We grow stronger than the hate in this world that was inflicted on us. We have an unfathomable compassion for others, we see what others choose to ignore, we have the ability to touch lives, help each other heal and make real change." Gentle hugs to you man.

[@mattblack5982]

You are NEVER alone, we are all here for each other even with our pain. This was the first vid of yours I've ever seen and I'm so glad this was put on my path because I found another person who knows what real means. You are real af and I respect you so much dude. Much love 🙏🏼🙏🏼

I'm proud of you. Been watching you grow. Inspiration. Keep dreaming...

i lost my father to a heroin overdose a year ago today. I just heard ablut this song and absolutely relate to every single word of it. NF is the absolute best rapper i have ever heard. So relateable.

Couldn't keep tears from coming....how incredibly emotional.

[@ivory419]

At the end and parts of this song is him actually crying. As he made this song in the studio he asked others to leave so he could have a moment alone. They left it recording and you can hear his pain man.

Ive never met my dad and in process of writing a song about not having that person in your life that should of been! Nf is a massive influence on how i write and i hope one day i can make a song as good as his.

I heard of NF before on the radio with his 2 "hit" songs that made the radio, but I didn't really know of him. My daughter was playing this song, and it just broke me. I know abandonment bc i never knew my birth father. But i knew someone very close to me that was struggling with mental health issues and overdosing on pills. A rapper who can sing and tell a story about real events that he has been through made me an NF fan for life!

Right out the gate and I was annoyed by the "smash the like button!" talk. Then I realized I did like a year ago because I actually like your videos, lol. It's there for a reason. :) Oh yeah, and the "Ledowit!" Keep it up man!

[@scottgrimes1200]

Big love my friend… your reaction choked me up.🥲

[@lasonyawalker7248]

This song is so powerful & hits home. I was an addict & cocaine was my choice of drug. I put myself through a lot when using not realizing the effect it would have on those around me. I thank God today I’m drug free 25 years strong💪🏽 my children never had to experience my addiction & I’m thankful they did not because the hurt is real. Those who have been through it, don’t give up the fight & stay strong I pray God can & will see u through - blessings

[@danieljordan7194]

Brother, naturally we don't know each other,but I want to tell you that I too have memories I don't like to think about.But from some of your videos I've watched I can see that you grew into a really cool person who is doin his thing and I'm happy to see that.Ima subscribe,so keep em coming 😤👍

[@mikekoopman2406]

Brother, I got mad respect for you, it got hard and you still kept listening. Just seeing your video now, but I know these feelings never go away. Keep going, you strong like a beast💪🏻🔥💙

[@TheGryff]

This song really touched me. I have not lost my mom but, the song let's my know how lucky I am to have the mother I have today. This song got me because that could've been me and my siblings going through that.

[@temian6956]

This exact song happened to me, every detail except she’s not dead, hits harder when you can relate to the song

[@illadvyzd7111]

We love you brother. A lot of us feel like this. I'm here ifya ever need to vent or talk or whatever homey.

[@Good.vibes.only012]

God Bless you Van. Wish I could give you a hug.

[@davidrosado8799]

This got me too. But not about my mom but my dad. Never new him. If I could’ve just had ten minutes of his time, would have been better than the no time I got. I have two grown kids of my own with my wife of 28 years. Couldn’t believe not being there. I guess my dad not being there maybe made a good dad, cause I didn’t want to repeat history. Broken cycles are possible. It’s all because our leads my heart. With that being said God bless all of you.

[@christinacampbell6844]

I'm 50 yrs old and have heard a lot of music. This ones got to be the first to make me cry and hurt in my gut....damn.

[@janelkughler5310]

Thanks for braving it out. I could tell you weren’t just hearing his words. You weren’t just feeling them. You were living them. May peace be in your heart.

[@TM1008]

Damn, brother, this one hurt. I didn't know what to expect, but it wasn't this. So many feels, and so close to home. Much love.

[@gregnance868]

I feel the pain in this person ,voice. My baby girl is everything to me, some times I just cry thinking how innocent a beautiful her innocent heart is. Its my duty to protect and help her through life, cause im her daddy.

[@SchafterJ]

You are amazing my dude. Thank you for amazing content

[@nutsacjankins9893]

Every time I listen to this song it reminds me of my mom. She was my best friend, my mentor, my life. She took her life 8 years ago and its hurts. It will always hurt. I been trying to pull threw but since then it seems like everything have been a downhill struggle. Seems like everything has been getting worse since then. These songs help me but im not sure how much longer I want to take this.

[@5dollarshake263]

Man I got chills when the singer started the vocals.
