NF - The Search | Singer Reacts |

[@johnzushin198]

NF is such a powerful lyricist! He speaks from the heart and all of his songs are breathtaking because every song is like a story, no pun intended, as he is an amazing storyteller as well. Amazing reaction as always!!

[@RICARDO_7991]

Leave Me Alone next pls

[@markg1994]

Yeah yeah yeah yeah

[@SaddleLight]

💯

[@Ken-zzz-witu]

Ill leave you alone.

[@for2oh]

The black balloons represent his burdens. The cart i think is his "heart". "Pack up my cart. Take a new route." Speaks to the people trying to get him to change. To find "Hope". He is an amazing lyricist. And producer of music. Its stunning.

[@Heroo01]

His cart represents the cage from Outcast. It's smaller now and he can move but he still takes it with him no matter where he goes

[@trentrockwell6598]

You are close but it doesn’t say Cart in the search it says car, His Balloons are his burdens, The cart is similar to the cell he build which represents fear/feeling trapped but just a mobile version of it IMO, The black smile represents putting on a happy face and hiding how you really feel

[@itsmogar3724]

So if you didn’t catch it, in this video he talks about searching for the map for hope and in his song hope you see he found it. The balloons represent his burdens. Which also make an appearance in hope.

[@pratikscape]

Once you hear NF , you will never be the same

[@dustinpait4216]

The balloons represent his burdens. And how he drags them around with him everywhere he goes

[@anasalonetimelatham5789]

I love the fact that nf doesn't sugar coat any of his song and that he is honest about how he feels and that he is an awesome rapper and should be loved and respected for his honesty

[@craigb5067]

Currently on a binge of your channel Love your reactions

[@christopherdunlap7028]

I can literally see your body react when the chills hit your spine. His music is just powerful.

[@Topaco.o]

So first the music video; we see NF out on the plains, and he’s looking kind of sad; back behind him in the distance, we see this cage, which is where he came from, we recognized that from previous music videos, and we see that in The Perception album, which was a huge image; it was this idea of him being trapped inside, and basically he was being trapped by himself, because he had the keys the whole time. Well, now we recognized this image from the “WHY” music video, he's got this shopping cart, but attached to it a ton of black balloons; so he's pushing this along the way, and it looks like it's a little bit of a struggle, he's not super careful or cautious about it; and dotted on the country side all around him are these other people with one or two balloons themselves; and when the other people are dressed in white, NF is dressed in almost all dark colours; so he's doing this and I think there's so much significance to what we're seeing here, because he actually refers to the balloons in the lyrics as his burdens, and I didn't know what the shopping cart and the balloons were in the “WHY” music video, I didn't even know to know that they were something significant, but he points at them while referring to his burdens, and he's left the era of Perception (the cage), and he's moving on, but the shopping cart is in a way like him holding on to that cage, because if you look at a shopping cart, it's metal bars criss-crossing against each other; it is a tiny little cage on wheels in a way; one that you can take with you wherever you go, and it's got all of his burdens, all of his mental, emotional, psychological burdens, they’re attached to it, so they're stuck with him as well; now you look at these other people, and it seems to be him explaining how he normally feels, like he looks around the world, these people dressed in white, it looks like it's going okay for them, and they've got like what two three balloons, maybe four! Life is not that difficult for other people, but he feels like he's pushing his cage along by himself, and he's got way more burdens than anyone else, but at the same time he continues moving, until he comes to this river, and as we can see, on these open plains there in the music video, there's like nothing there; so he eventually does come across like this porch swing, which I think will have a lot of meaning coming up in future videos; but he doesn't find anything else, and so it goes along with the name of the song, “The Search”, because he and all these other people are walking around, wandering, searching for something. At the very end of the music video, he hops inside of his shopping cart, and somebody gives him a set of those same white clothes that everybody else are wearing, and I think that this is a hand-off to whatever the next music video is going to be. the search was in 2019 and Hope came out in 2023 he was wearing white in the music video which means that the white clothes represent hope. i guess you did the music video for "HOPE".

[@FishermanMike253]

Nice breakdown fellow outcast!

[@isimelifamily1300]

Ngl this comment u made has more words then an essay that had just finished😅😅

[@isimelifamily1300]

My essay actually

[@invinciblefeelings1439]

This song is pure fire 🔥 Loved the reaction 😍

[@austindermody302]

Great reaction Rachael! This is my favorite song by NF.

[@DeuceTreyz]

Good morning our Host! :) Nice to see another NF reaction

[@howshouldik-rz6hv]

One of the best rappers in the industry.

[@themmzone2517]

No misses from the goat. His song leave me alone connects to this video. It will help you understand the baloons, white and dark clothes. You will need to go back his song outcast to understand the cage. The shopping cart is like a portable cage. This is why everyone should start at the beginning to understand Nate.

[@BulletProof85]

Leave Me Alone is Pt.2 🔥

[@Jeffreymills948]

“I’m looking for the map to HOPE” This guy is insane!

[@trevor-ck7jk]

Enjoying the variety of music on your channel. Your awesome 😊 NF has so much good music

[@Paul_TheOutcast]

This is the first song that I heard and music video that I saw by NF and I became a fan from there

[@AyushSharma-mf6fy]

That white shirt is like the hope , the song that u reacted "HOPE BY NF"

[@neptunesonof8423]

So he is in Iceland (its black sand from the volcanoes) the cage in the back ground is from the song "Outcast", the swing is also from one of his very earlier songs. The black balloons are his burdens, the shopping cart is from his song "Leave Me Alone" the people in the white outfits are also part of the song "Leave Me Alone" (it has to do with transformation). In this song there is a line "looking for the map to hope", in the song "Hope" which comes after this song he is wearing white and has a map that he keeps looking at (again he is in Iceland for the song "Hope").

[@joeyf1722]

Change by NF (the song he referenced in this one) is such a good look into his mentality at this time in life

[@dennisr.4918DennyDesigns]

Pause and rewind all you want Ray. The NF fans want to hear your thoughts and we don't mind you pausing at all. Great reaction. There is a follow up to this song called "Leave Me Alone", and a song that precedes this called "Why" both are amazing. But always, always, always rewind back a few bars after each pause. The only problem with this reaction is it was over too soon 😃. Pause and rewind and take your time with it.

[@CJDavis-js7mr]

A fantastic song is Gone from his new Hope Album. Love your stuff!

[@geofthompson3844]

If you're talking, you aren't listening and you miss so much. Pauses are useful 😂

[@D4635-c4i]

please continue the NF rabbit hole!

[@nishantkr5759]

I never even heard of NF until maybe six weeks ago. And we are both from the exact same tiny town in Michigan.

[@TheOne214]

the balloons are his burden hes carrying the shopping cart represents his journey in life

[@HelloMyNameIsZON3]

NF is the best out right now hands down in terms of the full package

[@aaronallsbury9238]

NF is amazing leave me alone ties in with this video

[@OreoMaker]

You should really go down the NF journey starting with intro 1! I absolutely love all his old stuff

[@cingiah]

[@zachariahahn85]

NF I've been a fan for years... I'm gonna keep recommending Dax everytime I comment though 💯

[@ayvar8067]

Another awesome reaction Would love to see your reaction to 360 - Tiny angel. He is an aussie rapper with awesome story teller vibes

[@Furlan27]

I didn't came here for your reaction, I wanna just wanna enjoy your beauty😍

[@christianwelker7383]

You should start the NF journey. Start from the beginning, work your way to the newer stuff. He is probably one of the best in the game right now.

[@sewerynbielecki7582]

Remember This is the best

[@malguskerensky]

NF is similar to Eminem is how he can use words that add layers to each bar that is puts out. He selects words purposefully and it just works really well.

[@makefootballviolentagain5258]

The video was filmed in Iceland.

[@burner3200]

Tommee Profitt knows how to get those strings to punch, probably my favorite produce in the business! You should go check out some his stuff as well! Keep it up Ray!

[@johnmarquez2673]

Your awesome..keep up the good work!

[@hiyabuddy7]

It make me so sad that there's not more nf reactions on this channel. As a man it's nice to hear a woman's perspective on the next as well. You're incredibly insightful btw. You've picked up on things that I've seen life long fans of him miss in his songs and videos. Did you have to stop making reactions to his music? Were you getting flagged or something?

[@YourMood17]

Why u always in a mood ❤

[@AmbroseBrandt]

Dang u missed the most important part of the vid.. relisten plz... 5:28 such a story.. plz listen.

[@Grim_The_Reaper]

I have never so quickly clicked off a video because someone wouldn't stop talking over the damn lyrics. By like the 4th time she did it I was done. Stop talking over songs you're reviewing. Pay attention.

[@brandnewsike]

Ok clearly, you dont know NF but Im confused? Are you a Singer? I feel like you should be commenting on his actual voice and his falsettos and shit and not commenting on the music video.

[@SoulFeather111]

No no no. Stop. Take one song at a time. Each song is stand alone.

[@kmarsh9515]

STOP talking over the song

[@TheRyno525]

Are you her manager? I mean it is her channel which means she can do what she want's, there is a option for you though you can choose not to watch it, nobody is telling you that you have to watch.

[@JacobBlack1122]

​@@TheRyno525 🤓

[@marvel-ousre-grind8724]

I think the word that your trying to use is "poignant"... This whole song is very "poignant"...

[@TananJess]

Nice play off the H-Mack Omegle bars.

[@GinjerFour]

The only problem i have with NF is he does the same big bass drop in almost every song (even if it does sound great). It's unique and he's the only one who does it but it does get old when you focus on it too much. It's like if a metal band used the same breakdown for every song. Other than that, he's a lyrical genius with great flow and excellent storytelling. If you're gonna keep expanding into deep lyrical rappers, check out : Hopsin - Fly Hopsin - Your House Hopsin - I Need Help Hopsin - Alone With Me Hopsin - Rebirth

[@JC-ye8nu]

Tbh I hope you dont try to get in other REAL songs... STAY OUT.

[@jfirebird5833]

@Rayactions, Remember how you reacted to HOPE and he was on a raft in big body of water wearing all white? I like to think of this song as the pre-quel. Near the beginning of this track he says "I'm looking for the map to hope, you seen it?" then he closes with "the search begins so enjoy the trip" which this is intro-ing his album called The Search but also looking at how this video ends near the entrance to a body of water with someone giving him a set of white clothes.... Seems to me that it ties really well to the HOPE video as a continuation?!?! 🖤🤍

[@rayactions]

Those are some good connections!!
