Please do not stop listening to his albums in order all the way through. It makes HOPE so powerful it’s unreal.

It really does and I love the breakdowns from her point of view. Gonna subscribe

This song has described depression the best for me from all the songs i have ever heard.. Been having depression on and off since i was 15.. i am now 32. This song can make people understand what goes on and how we lock up our feelings in different rooms in our mind. And if we open and let people into those rooms. They would most likely leave just like NF says.. wich leads us to keep locking things into the rooms we create. Its a never ending circle.

[@chichiibegbu6223]

Such a powerful song. Glad you are taking the NF journey.... You will pick up on a lot watching his movies and listening to his music😁😁 Enjoy the ride

[@seelenwinter6662]

the only thing... i hope, he never will visit germany... we have walls out of stones... and i bet all i have, he will never boxing a hole into them....^^

[@GiftFromGod]

his words really paints a picture that's so clear to see despite the blurry vision from all my tears. it's a really amazing gift! I feel that I've lost it myself and only get bursts of that seemingly spontaniously in youtube comments where it's basically the only place when I express myself at all. Managed to write 5 sentences in the notepad for a song yesterday until I thought: "wtf are you doing? you suck at this! there won't come anything out of this. just stop it man" This is what I wrote: Honestly, I don't know what to say it feels like I'm loosing my mind everyday not gonna lie but I don't want to live why should I die? I got so much to give at least that's what I tell myself

[@_LoveMeKnot]

I get goosebumps every time I hear this song, specifically when he’s talking about fear and putting him outside “in order to do that I’d have to open the doors, is that me or the fear talking I don’t know anymore” every time I hear that I just get shivers all over. This’ll be a wild journey, found NF a few years ago and his way with words hits differently to anything I’ve ever heard before

[@Pheytality]

Started following after your hope reaction. It's interesting because you discovered him at his happiest. As a long time listener to NF and to see him where he is at now is truly amazing. There is no guess work when it comes to this amazing artist. Always expect his art to be REAL. Hes helped so many people through his craft, I would be lying if I said I wasn't one of them. I appreciate your input from your field of work, experience, and perspective.

[@jonathonthomas1255]

What's so neat to me is every time that hook, or chorus whatever you wanna call it, has a different meaning/vibe depending on what verse just finished

[@ajrodriguez2395]

Seeing where he came from to Hope is so rewarding. I really did see him grow as a person and its awesome to see. Thanks for taking the journey.

[@Daneliya4ever]

Keep doing NF reactions and I'll keep watching! NF's music has helped me a lot. Just knowing you aren't alone makes a big difference.

[@nate2838]

"Not knowing you are alone makes a big difference". Very true. Relating to the music lets you know you are not alone. Feeling alone makes it hard to express whats bottled up and needs an outlet. Being in a space where you feel connected can create a space for things to flow that are otherwise stuck. NF's music has helped get me through times that were pitch black.

[@ianshirreffs5604]

NF puts you through some reality that correlates with some people's reality. Love his journey. I watched every David Goggins video. He is a true warrior.

[@coolluis100]

Such an amazing reaction! Do more NF please! 😄

[@Angelic_Advocate]

I watch an unhealthy amount of reaction channels. Yours is still my favorite, such meaningful insights on songs I’ve heard hundreds of times :) THANK YOU

[@TheJuliangarcia1985]

It's crazy to think this came out 2015 and he tried it to his album titled song, Hope, in 2023. His vision is unlike any other. You'll find dozens more "hidden" throwbacks he'll reference through his entire catalog.

[@lakep7798]

Thank you for taking the time to go through these and for honoring his music by feeling it. I enjoy your reactions! (Liked and subscribed.)

[@Theredeemedchild2]

Ah man. If this song is getting you emotional then girl you better bring a whole box of tissues for "how could you leave us"

[@williamhoney3827]

The hardest song of his in my opinion

[@kylecampisi6376]

Excited to watch the journey!

[@acelcruz222]

🔥🔥💯💯 Reaction NFrealmusic 💯💯

[@NewLondonMarshall]

Thank you for starting at the beginning! You'll enjoy it so much! I love your channel so far and I've only just found it!

[@AvaLynn808]

Great to see you taking the NF journey! It's interesting that you brought up vulnerability. There is a video that goes in depth about Nate's vulnerability and how it's actually one of his greatest strengths. I highly recommend checking it out, it's called NF - The Power of Vulnerability

[@RaquelCorreia-j7i]

the mind is a powerful place , and what you feed it can effect you in a powerful way

[@mwminnis1]

Keep up the journey! NF is incredibly emotionally aware and gifted. Appreciate your feedback and transparency ❤

[@Itamaxification]

Loved watching this! It was my favorite NF song for a long time and it's from the first album. What you said about anger and the book example was so interesting, I'll definitely have to follow your recommendation and get it! Edit: This chorus is the one that started playing in the Hope video when he fell into the mansion btw :)

Psychology student and writer here Subscribed Great reaction Can't wait to look at your more clinical posts

[@SpiderRL]

NF makes such great music through his emotions it's unreal! Perhaps you'll like Nate by NF as well, also a great song in my opinion.

[@mrBrobin73]

The beauty you exude in your presence, mind and explanations are VERY Welcomed to this reaction game. It’s Different.. it’s new and WE NEED IT!👍💯🔥 Thank you for your service to the medical community and to us here in the social media community. Just like these artists that you react to.. they’re special! .. and sooo are you! What you give us.. your perspective, mind, education and professional experience is something different that we all need. Thank You!

[@richardbates895]

I love the three reactions I've seen so far...I respect your perspective! It's an amazing journey, strap on the seatbelt! Thanks!

[@LCTOG]

Love your reactions to NF !!! can't wait to see the whole journey :D

[@dennisr.4918DennyDesigns]

Doctor, here is an overview of the NF Journey. The first 2 albums, Mansion and Therapy Session NF is still trapped in his house, but in album 3 Perception we see NF start to venture outside, figuratively speaking. In album 3 he escapes but keeps his cage with him. In The Search he finally leaves his cage, but keeps a shopping cart as kind of a portable cage. In the Mixtape we see NF continue on his journey in the song, Lost, Paid My Dues and Clouds and in Hope he is finally trying to break free and believe in Hope. He personifies his emotions. In this song we met Fear and learned he sleeps with Regret. These two will be back in other songs. Also, please feel free to pause as much as you like and tell us your thoughts. We want to hear not only your thoughts, but also how you might emotionally connect and why. We are not your patients so feel free to unwind to some degree. But when you pause, always back it up a few bars. to keep context.

[@WarTurtleWoodworking]

great reaction! keep going down through the NF Journey!

[@NeuroPulse]

I agree with your comments about anger. I believe it is a fundamental component of a life well lived.

[@ericwiesel89]

Well put, vulnerability needs to be earned. I'd actually elaborate on that by saying, unfortunately we first need to intimately know what we are actually vulnerable to so that we can behave accordingly for ourselves because also kind of unfortunately, we can't rely on the world to be responsible about us for us especially before the world even knows us and being as that telling ones story over and over just takes so much energy, we have to be responsible so that we can be the productive versions of ourselves that we can be proud of because that is important and something everyone deserves to feel about themselves. That's part of where true inner happiness comes from, being able to rely on oneself to succeed and thrive in life from wherever we start. We don't need to get to the tops of mountains we just need to create satisfying and enjoyable secure lives for ourselves.

[@drew8674]

LETSGOOOOO!!! Enjoy your NF journey, i’ll be watching:)

[@TheJohmac]

Great song, first time hearing it. All emotion is useful and necessary. I equate emotions to indicators on the dash of a car. They tell you something is happening, but not how to drive the car. But with emotions, they have to be regularly calibrated by being true accurate and precise with thoughts and beliefs. And they aren't always telling us the same thing. Many things can cause a car to overheat, and many things trigger anger. Sometimes betray, sometimes injustice, sometimes constructive criticism. Some of my thoughts.

[@octogames6823]

I found anger is a necessary survival mechanism. This song is a beautiful analogy of my mental state. I thrived from anger and trauma. I eventually settled down and started to love more. The side effect of slowing down and loving more was anxiety and panic attacks. This is when I realized owning the anger and the animal within me is a necessary trait for my survival.

[@perijetton9275]

I’m so excited to find your channel! Love your reactions. I have Chiari Malformation and had decompression surgery in 2018 with excellent results. Goggins and Team Never Quit are an inspiration. Stay hard~ David Goggins

[@joshs9157]

Really enjoy your perspective in these NF reactions. Can't wait for mote. Its refreshing to lusten to your knowledge and you do it in a way that is easy on the ears. As I know your highly educated but you share your thoughts in a way everyone can understand and appreciate. Thanks for your time. Hope their's more NF in the future.

[@jassonaguilera8043]

Keep these up, I love NF songs and how well though out they are and how you comment on them psychologically/neurologically. Thanks!

[@ghazialwan8121]

Bless you loved your reaction

[@88ronthedude]

I just found your nf reaction videos yesterday and I have to say I love listening to your in depth breakdowns and your thoughts about the songs. I hope you continue to do more. Thank you

[@KoolBeats]

This song hits me everytime. Great reaction.

[@LordVader66]

Nate is a real one. That’s why it’s called NF Real Music bc he makes you Feel. He makes you feel have the emotions he has. Love his songs. Keep doing the NF journey you won’t regret it

[@coriesmith9809]

I'm loving the way you do your videos and especially with NF music. I can relate to him so much from all my childhood trauma.

[@twoseater8692]

The very first video I caught of yours was a reaction to Hope. IIRC you had a sense of shock when NF fell through the sand and landed in Mansion. Lots of us knew exactly where he took us with the first few notes of the melody. I’m glad the fans got you to start back at the beginning. It’ll be like a musical Tarantino experience that you never knew you needed.

[@nate2838]

Therapy session is such a powerful song, cant wait till you react to it. It has helped me get through times that were pitch black.

[@robd5139]

Music can definitely hit! NF has been an absolute gem for me to find years ago! Continue the journey! Always have the tissues on deck with his songs! 🙂

[@maximechenier5606]

I'd love to see more of you taking the NF journey. NF is in my own opinion one of the most emotionally deep artists in his genre. Having the view of a neurologist would be amazing to understand his music even better. Thank you in advance 😊

[@headintheclouds2]

As soon as I saw you were doing Mansion I knew it would hit you....immediately liked the video. Great content.

[@py_a_thon]

Ngl: this song makes me think of Hopsin's Covid Mansion track. Which is kinda hilsrious.

[@lisamayreed6399]

Truth!👍❤

[@nicholassavana3385]

I love seeing everyone do reaction to NF him and jaytekz our my favorite 2 emotional singers they both get very deep in their feelings and let you feel that you're not a lone in you're journey

[@katiemarie8580]

You'll love the NF journey! So good!

[@sanlyn9]

Mansion and Wake Up will always be some of his all time best.

[@AlwaysBeSmiling]

Looking forward to more NF!!!

[@LyricGraymane]

Wonderful reaction.😄😄

[@Pacreincarn8ed]

The journey begins !!!

[@TheMediaMutants]

This song resonates with me so much. It's taken me years to find who I am. I'm blessed to have a beautiful family now.

[@finnseidel3857]

Before i watched a couple of neurogal MD vids i was damn depressed but after watching this im just really thankfull for music like this cause its kind of a way to let emotions out.

[@sonsofhexico]

Thank you!!!! I appreciate you.

[@basicpianotutorial]

I've been following and listening to NF for a while now and he definitely has the gift of putting his emotions into music and expressing himself, some of his lyrics may seem dark, but he releases what he wants heard...

[@he.art.]

I know this is almost a year old, but David Goggins is pushing through based on spite.. Anger and spite aren't the same..

[@muhammadluthfi8050]

What a such great reaction❤

[@williamalexander7481]

I really appreciate this song. It has helped me explain how my trauma and brain work. I sent my therapist the song and it really helped to get across what I couldn't say.

[@LarryPanozzo]

Enjoying watching your NF journey :)

[@blinkaustin8720]

After hearing this track you can go back and watch hope again and see how awesome it is to see Nate walking around the house going room to room relaxed closing the doors and then dark nf takes him back to the cliff top because the walls and doors of the house didn't trap him just amazing storytelling from Nate

[@1PrayerWarrior4]

Love this song, I tend to listen to it when I'm in my head. Buckle your seatbelt, friend. You're in for a journey.

[@joshuaanderson1197]

You’ll need to remember this song when you do the song Intro III. They go hand in hand. ‘How could you leave us’ is by far his saddest song. Bring tissues for that. Love your reactions.

[@blinkaustin8720]

Been waiting for this one can't wait untill I finish work to watch it live from Melbourne Australia knackers ♥️🇦🇺

Thanks for the video

[@Co_Nik]

Glad to see you have entered the world of NF. ❤

[@BoydOfPray]

I'm not sure if you caught this, but the chorus of this song is what was playing in the background when the Dark NF pushed him back down in the old mansion in the Hope video. 🙂 He's got a ton of little details like this in a lot of his videos.

[@invinciblefeelings1439]

This one hits hard, loved the reaction 🔥

I'm a 60 year old man. Who is dealing with a lot. I've got very high risk stage 3 prostrate cancer. I have severe arthritis c3 thru c7 moderate to severe in the thoracic spine. I also have PTSD from several things. I really like your insights on things

[@randygreen3624]

You are so Beautiful and well educated keep up with the NF journey. Much Love 😊

[@joeyhenderson40]

Anger i only use to help my motivation. Sometimes i cant feel inspired if im not feeling anger. It just helps me get a different push to get through my shift at work. But yes. It can blind you if you dont have the help to control it.

[@hightower-lll]

🖤NF🤍 music is mind blowing💣🔥🔥

Please do some reacting from "DAX - Dear Alcoohol" or "DAX - To be a men"... Or maybe "DAX- Dear God", but keeping doing your reactions, beacuse is awsome anda help so much peoples, that you dont have no idea!!! YOU WORK IS FUCKING AWSOME!!! By to way, when/if you read this send a hug for Brazil 🙏✌️ (*PS: Sorry for my inglish, I just start on my on)

I can relate to his music on so many levels but I don't understand why they make people cry

It's time to reaction NF - How could you leave us - maybe find those tissues for that one.

[@BOJACKARY]

Thank you

[@ashleydoubledee8689]

Do a video on NF wake up! That song saved my LIFE! Tears me up every time i blast it!

[@JPE_DRAEB]

Can you react to NF How can you leave us? It's about his mom which he also mentions in HOPE that he finally forgives her.

[@TheAT5000]

Be sure to have that tissue box by the time you get to "How could you leave us" Might want to skip mascara too...

[@gozingers]

Whether you record KZbin reactions or not, you should DEFINITELY do the journey, it’s a very unique experience. You should recorded though because you have a very cool perspective to the NF Community at large

[@benr2018]

when you get to "Why Did You Leave Us" get your tissues ready...

[@Matjo7588dk]

This is one of these songs where.. If you really relate to it. Not just feeling it, or can find meaning in it. But relate to it. Its one of those songs where if you relate you wish you did not. Because understanding that you relate, speaks to something that is haunting you where ever you go.

[@py_a_thon]

If you are haunted wherever you go, then perhaps purge the mansion. Ghosts are fake and humans are real. Memories haunt us, yet the future draws us in. Keep your safe room if you must. That is fine.

[@Matjo7588dk]

@@py_a_thon Being haunted by your own reality has nothing to do with ghost. And its is not fake in any manner. And there is a distinct difference between feeling emotions, like depression. And being chronical ill. Feelings can be changed. But the only way to purge a chronical illness is to purge yourself. So I do not think that advise should be followed. However the details on this topic is what paint the picture. A picture I am not sure belongs in a YT comment.

[@py_a_thon]

@@Matjo7588dk Those words were not meant to be literal, yet I apologize if those odd words were bothersome towards you. I have a maybe bad habit of using youtube comments as almost like a notepad or journal of sorts. And I sometimes purge my mind of ghosts in that form, for lack of a better explanation. Peace.

[@Matjo7588dk]

@@py_a_thon No, no. Its all good. I just felt my point was being misunderstood so I tried to explain it in other words. Nothing to apologize for.

[@py_a_thon]

Could you possibly do a reaction to- Hotel Books- July "part 1" and August "part 2 The level of poetic nature in his music is simply amazing! It's not a well know artist but he deserves to be recognized for his magnificent work. With a reaction, it could possibly help other discover his touching/poetic art. Love your videos.. wish you all the best! ❤

[@latebuslewy]

Ugh thanks NF for bringing all my words back to the forefront of these walls. I have a lot of anger and repressed emotions. I don't know how to even deal with it as I am also a combat veteran. Everyone treats me with kid gloves, how am I supposed to know what to fix when everything is perfect I'm told? I wish I were more creative maybe I'd be able to write my story. I can't treat the PTSD without fighting the anxiety or battling the depression, then there's the disassociation disorder with a bit of codependency and a hero complex. I'm told to not become just another statistic, but it has to be better then living in here, I'll risk it!! hmmm that was not intentional

[@mrspgp]

Mansion always hits me too 😌 and you should listen to his song "Nate" it's said it was an exercise his therapist gave him to do and he turned into a song and an amazing one at that

[@krw73]
