PSYCHOTHERAPIST REACTS to NF- Leave Me Alone

[@thereseball]

Personally, I just LOVE Nate's sense of humor, so often overlooked in some of his songs/videos. He can be hilarious!!

[@modobstruction]

Yes!! It’s awesome!

[@Captain_Kirk116]

Yes! Like when he said, "I think hello in Spanish is bonjour" lol!

[@TheBeelzboss]

The funniest thing I've seen him do is in Clouds. when He tries to give a kid a high five and they don't, so he high fives himself lol and that video is BONKERS

“The Search” for a “Mansion” up in the “Clouds” was my “Perception”, now I spend “Moments” in a “Therapy Session”. Just a clever phrase I came up with using his album titles 😊😊

[@ReactionTherapyOfficial]

Very nice!!!😊👍

[@jgelien21]

Nice dude!

[@HHJYXH629069558]

That's great

[@kuroogoth]

I've seen someone say that maybe the ending of Leave me Alone represented NF giving some of his burdens to God, which is something we saw being talked about more often in this record. So, maybe white clothing could represent "talking to God more" as he says in his song Change. For that reason, some people in white in Leave me Alone are burden-free, but some still carry some.

[@ReactionTherapyOfficial]

Well said, thanks!😊👍

[@SkinnySAMMY27]

wow i never thought of it that way, love this take

[@lakep7798]

That’s good, but it seems more like he was seriously CONSIDERING giving them over, not actually giving them over…

[@NotesOfBoredom]

FFs - no gods exist...

[@jonathanreislund]

I just realized something that may mean something. At 15:52 when the people watching NF point at his burdens, and then NF says "I don't need advice from my thoughts right now..." he may have also been thinking that the people were focused on his burdens and judging him. Just a thought. It sounded better in my head. ¯\_(ツ)_/¯

[@LZRFPV]

8:57 My dude started vibing and then that scream of being overwhelmed! love it.

[@JeffDonnelly]

“Im exhausted”😂 awesome reaction! All the best to you and Nick!🙏❤️

[@ladykoh4678]

Nate leaves this song with another cliffhanger, just like "The search" left with wondering about the white clothes. I agree with your comments on the people going in with dark clothes and coming out in white clothes, yet still seemed like they had no emotions. Knowing Nate said on Instagram (and in some songs) that he refuses to take ANY PILLS because his mom died because of prescription pain pills that turned into an addiction. He said his Therapist told him he needs psych meds for his OCD, but he refuses to take them. Because of this issue, I think he was indicating the change of clothes indicated the people were given meds when they changed clothes colors, yet they were under the influence of meds, so NF did not go in the line to change clothes.

[@ReactionTherapyOfficial]

This is very interesting! Thank you so much for letting me know😊👍

[@HHJYXH629069558]

I think you’ve got a point :)

[@sb7930]

This sounds like a very logical theory.

[@gavinaaboe5317]

Hey Tom! Following along the NF journey, you should check out "I Miss The Days" eventually. Its a pretty emotional song by Nate and I think it would make for a great review. Cheers!

[@ReactionTherapyOfficial]

THanks Gavin!😊👍

[@jazz_jazz4936]

That's my favourite right now!

[@alfonsolinares8474]

So much imagery in this music video it’s insane! The first time I saw this I thought that the lady in the white suit taking the smiles off from the rest represented medication. From my perspective those in white are walking around aimlessly almost like in a trance. In the song “Changes”NF describes how he was prescribed medications but that he is afraid taking them. It’s crazy man!

[@ReactionTherapyOfficial]

Amazing!!! This is good info!😊👍

[@robertwiseman2061]

Yes I definitely think those in White are medicated.

[@staciojeda4146]

I absolutely love how invested you get with these videos.. I get invested with you... no one does it better than Nate.

[@ReactionTherapyOfficial]

[@dreaddemon3347]

I absolutely love the energy you bring to these videos, it's so engaging to be able to not just hear your interpretation but also see you jam out too. Personally I'd love to see you react to either Clouds or Hate Myself by NF. I think you'd definitely enjoy the beat of Clouds ^_^

[@ReactionTherapyOfficial]

Can’t wait for that!😊👍

[@KiyanAmaruna]

​@@ReactionTherapyOfficialI dunno if anyone has mentioned this to you but the name for that smile is a Chelsea grin it actually comes from the soccer hooligans they used to cut people in the corners of their mouth with a knife then stomp on their foot or do something else that would make the person scream and when they scream it would tear their cheeks all the way to the back of their jaw. That's what the joker had in The dark Knight when he said now I'm always smiling. So usually makeup like that is a shout out to something very dark and disturbing.

[@ReactionTherapyOfficial]

@@KiyanAmaruna very cool! Thanks for this😊

[@MsChaos54]

Agh!!! I bloody love this song.. NF is an absolute genius and such a talent.. I relate to his music more than any other artist out there.. Especially Paralyzed, My Stress, Mansion and I hate myself

[@jaredfoster5275]

Hey Tom great reaction as always. Your NF reactions are unique in the fact that you offer clinical and mental health perspective on things. I’m a school psychologist and I really enjoy your perspective on things and your energy and breakdown of it is great. This song is a lot to take in. NF goes into detail of his new diagnosis of OCD and I like how you talk about how it really does impact someone’s life and the struggles they face.

[@ReactionTherapyOfficial]

[@mattsandoval3946]

I've just been noticing your videos because you've actually been covering all of songs that I found myself KZbin ing I. Never ever even comment on anything and I dont even listen to NF but your amazing man keep doing this

[@mikez.2285]

I understand the section with the old man this way: If you carry your burdens for too long, you'll get buried by them eventually. It's like those areas, usually in bigger cities, where homeless people and those, who got left behind by society come together, because they've got nowhere else to go. One is sleeping in a grocery cart, another is sleeping on a discarded mattress. I think Nate imagined his older self living there, just like the underlining message of "Let you Down. "Leave Me Alone" is a very strong song, full of metaphors and a real treat for longtime NF fans. I've watched the video several times, but never paid attention to the second guy in black and with the cart in the beginning. Great eye, great ear and as always fantastic interpretation, Tom. This album is going to be a thrill!

[@ReactionTherapyOfficial]

Thanks so much Mike! A lot to digest and I learn more from your comments😊👍

[@AZMasterbaker]

I would suggest having the captions on or having the lyrics pulled up for when he raps faster and it's harder to catch all of the lyrics

[@pigsden7971]

loved your reaction at the very end.

[@josephhowden5081]

after watching this video multiple times for me its the circus of life with peope all arround dealing with issues. no one without make up was smiling because he is afraid to be normal. To him, the fake smile is still beter than being normal. Thats why when it showed everyone in black going in and coming out in white notice how dark it was and you couldnt see where they were going to or from while he was "being pushed" to get better but then kept walking walking. he keeps going and then its him in his cart and he is looking at an old man. Maybe a refelction or glimps of a future, walks over and poked the sleeping person who doesnt move. anyone with mental issues knows how lonely and debilitating it can be, or even the impact it can have on others and the old man and girl could be people in his life. So he decides to go back and get help.

[@aaronvanantwerp4203]

The way you break down songs is amazing 👏🏽 enjoyable to watch and also is a learning experience as well! I'm sure NF would appreciate the fact that you take the time to fully digest and convey the depth of his music! Keep being awesome❤️🙂

[@jazz_jazz4936]

'Hate myself' from NF is (what I think) so good/ emotional, for on the listt

[@SoftSpotForBrokenThings]

I know I'm really late, but i just found your channel and as a big fan of NF I'm now watching your reactions to the whole journey, but anyway here's my theory about these videos: The black baloons of course are burdens there's no doubt in that, but then the fun with ideas for significance of things starts. For me this whole place is kind of like a mental hospital. The people wearing black are people who just start their whole search and journey to recovery. The smiles on their faces symbolises that 'mask' that we all wear, which shows that everything is fine. People in black are given the white clothes as a symbol of starting their therapeutic journey, they are given the possibility to take the chance, but the decision is up to them, that's why in some part of the video we see NF in a room with people in black, with their balloons and even their cartwheels - they are the people who chose not to start their therapy processes. We also have people who change the clothes from black to white, which means that they chose to do it, some of the people in white still have these 'smiles' on their faces, because letting the mask of happiness go is another part of the journey. We also have people who start to let go of their burdens, by giving away the balloons just as NF did at the end. So yeah for me it all just symbolises therapeutic journey. So I guess that's it, that's my theory...

[@sarahcochran2951]

I believe I heard in past comments from other fans of NF is the cart represents his “safe space” a place that holds on to his burdens and where he can take a break l. Also thinking it’s like his security cart or blanket in a sense for him in the videos.

[@lauriwest435]

Hearing this and seeing the video are two different experiences. This is SOOOO much better when you see the video and can put pieces of the puzzle together. There are some little gifts in this one for sure!!

[@carolsmith9461]

I've been looking forward to your analysis of this one because I seem to have a slightly different perspective than others. I think the "broken amusement park" (broken joy) has all of the "broken people" (mentally ill) in it and they are all on the ride of getting better. I see it as different people at different places in their journey with their mental health and each place has a line of people, getting better in some way. That's why they aren't smiling, they are still broken but working on it. And NF is walking around, seeing people take off the facade or changing into better people (clothes) or successfully getting rid of burden balloons and he isn't and it's all so confusing. The song plays like my own anxiety and ruminating where it is absolutely everywhere and no where, which is why i think RUMINATING is the loudest word spoken in the song. So, all these people are getting somewhere and he is stuck, like the older guy in the dark part of the park. At the end he is trying to give away just a little of his issues and his hand is shaking. I want to believe this is a song fully encompassing our frustrating back and forth as individuals with broken brains that feel every one is getting better quickly, even though we/he has been on this journey so long and is still completely weighed down.

I like your reactions because you analyze what's being said instead of just bobbing along and exclaiming, repeating how fire a song is. With that being said, could you PLEASE give Aesop Rock a listen, specifically the trio of songs, "Get Out of the Car, Shrunk and Kirby"?

I’ve always considered the white clothes anti depressants. A lot of people (like myself) who probably need them, are concerned about becoming an emotionless drone which is basically what the people in the video seem like. They’re dumping their burdens making the change, but they’re not any happier. And we see among some that it’s not even entirely effective

This is a unique channel, meaning we come to here what you think of a song as a therapist (at least I do), if you can't fully hear what someone is saying because of the speed of the flow, I personally wouldn't care if you read the lyrics to those parts of the song.

[@chillersyxx19]

OCPD (evil cousin of OCD) is a hellish disorder and the anxiety that it causes is crippling. Tack on some ADHD and your brain turns every scenerio into something resembling Dr Strange taking trips into every scenerio and reality trying to find all the answers. You litterally "what if" the hell out of everything. Nothing you do is good enough but your the only one who can do it right. Projects don't get done because you critique it to death or refuse to call it done because you're always trying to "fix it" or make it perfect. What's worse, you think it's all normal. You don't see the madness. I had no idea what was wrong with me or that something was wrong or how to talk to my doctor about it or that I even needed to until this song.
