PSYCHOTHERAPIST REACTS to NF- Let Me Go

[@FRLLI.]

My son stayed home from school today. NF Is one of his favorite artists. He heard me playing this reaction on my phone and came in and asked to watch it. So were enjoying this one together. Thanks Tom! You and Nick have a great weekend.

[@ReactionTherapyOfficial]

That’s such a great story! So glad you shared this!😊👍

[@ailingstudent88]

Tom: "I think I'm ready for something a little bit more upbeat and encouraging" Me: oh, oh no I've been waiting for this one!

[@ReactionTherapyOfficial]

😂😂

[@lakep7798]

😂 Me, too! I thought the same, lol!

[@danielmatthew9411]

And I feel like he’s talking about his emotions when saying to let him go. His burdens, regret, anger, depression etc. they’re all attached to him. “They don’t want me happy, they don’t want me fixed, they just want me hurt, etc…” he wants to be set free from them and just be himself for once. NF commonly refers to his emotions similar to referring to another physical being which for me personally has helped so much with my own mental health struggles to almost identify emotions as a person who you can have a conversation with and understand how to overcome them. I may be way off base but that’s how his music has spoken to me. Example would be intro III. He’s having a back and forth with fear and anger lives in the basement. Love your Channel Tom! Thank you!!

[@ReactionTherapyOfficial]

Thanks so much Daniel! Appreciate you taking the time to write this😊👍

[@sirwhitecrayon2499]

Yep. The seven letter’s are “Freedom”. FYI, his beats are produced by Tommee Proffit who is a major contributor to his success. The two are unstoppable.

[@ragingcomedy1835]

In this song NF wants his negative emotions to let him go. The 7 letters are freedom

[@pacmanpanda9557]

And his ocd

[@michaelcahill6846]

I was thinking this because when you’re let go you have ‘freedom’

[@wyattsmith2125]

"Liars in my home"... home = mansion. His mind. He's talking to his emotions. "Pick up the weapon, aim at my reflection"...

[@ZacharyHarpel]

This song hits me in the feels every single time 🖤🗝

[@NanoNate]

he's talking about himself and how he feels about himself, his emotions, his "ego" his perspective on himself. the 7 letters I believe are "Freedom". the song really starts to make sense when you hear the line "I pick up thr weapon, aim in your direction, shoot at my reflection"

[@djgilmore3608]

Good afternoon Tom, You said you wanted upbeat, and I was like, "Oh boy, not quite the vibe on this one." What a display of self reflection in the most artistic way! I believe NF is speaking to his personified emotions/demons/burdens that he has told to "Leave Me Alone." It's an inner dialogue in speaking to himself and GOD, shattering his perception of the man in the mirror that is still Searching, but hasn't found hope yet. I forget which song it was, but NF references finding "Freedom", and I believe these are the 7 letters he is referring to. It just so happens that the double entendre, "Let Me Go", is also 7 letters in the track title. He wants the thoughts and voices in his mind to leave him alone so that he can finally have hope, being free of the draining bondage that likely drives his OCD and his MO of chasing perfection with broken legs (Mansion).

[@ReactionTherapyOfficial]

Well said! Thank you for this!😊👍

[@michaelcahill6846]

I’m pretty sure in leave me alone he is tell fame to ‘leave him alone’

[@reneedisabatino3693]

​@@michaelcahill6846 I think that fame is part of it but the fact that the song centers around his OCD which is obsessive negative thinking that is what he wants to leave him alone. In the video he covers his ears when he says leave me alone. IMO that is him wanting all the noise in his head to stop

[@lakep7798]

I appreciate your post, but I just had to stop and comment on how well you express your thoughts! Your written communication is so clear, so well put together in a way that I rarely see in social media posts. Even your grammar, spelling, and punctuation are on point. I also appreciate the way you referenced NF’s work to support your interpretation. Sure, it may be a nerdy thing to say, but I couldn’t leave here without letting you know!

[@djgilmore3608]

@@lakep7798 Thank you for taking time to convey kind words. Made my day!

[@mrrevjohn]

Nf saved my life. I have been in a very dark place for a very long time. I stumbled across an NF song one day and it grabbed my attention. I started the NF journey, he spoke directly to me, I then reached out for help (just in time too). I got diagnosed with Ptsd, severe depression, Ocd and social anxiety. I got help from a psychiatrist , psychologist, have started CBT and talking therapy. I know it's not a quick fix but as NF says, I'm not out of it but don't feel like I can't be. I'm 53.

[@ReactionTherapyOfficial]

Well said!!😊👍

[@abbieest4life626]

You call it music. I call it therapy- NF

[@NIKKI-1979]

Freedom is the seven letters. To me since I have OCD like he does it is him speaking to himself. Almost like confronting his OCD and how he is a perfectionist. He wants that part of him to let him go. He wants freedom from it.

[@nicholasvalentino5381]

All my life I have been influenced by the people around me and sometimes I like it and sometimes I don’t. My mom has been there for me the whole way with all my problems. I have dyslexia and ADHD and she is always pushing me. Lately tho i feel like she is asking to much. I feel like she wants me to be perfect. I just want her to “Le me go”.

[@justinmillikan2258]

The 7 letters he's been looking for are F-R-E-E-D-O-M

[@AZMasterbaker]

Freedom is the 7 letters.

[@thisisbeast7357]

This is one of my favorite songs. I have been there pleading with my mental issues to let me go (Depression, Anxiety, PTSD, OCD). I plead all the time, the first time I heard this song it made me cry. NF really does help! I have watched all of your NF journey so far, and I am now progressing in therapies such as writing everything out, as I like to write. Also getting back on medication soon. Thank you!

[@ReactionTherapyOfficial]

It’s great to hear Beast, thank you for keeping me posted on your progress and how much NF means to you😊👍

[@TheSuperJP3]

What kind of anxiety do u have if you don’t mind me asking? I have social anxiety

[@simon_0910]

Now we have HOPE

[@ImKloan]

So I have an interesting perspective on this.... I think it's a song about suicide. "Let me go" as the meaning of being free from the world... I think His contradictions in his faith made him depressed and the 7 letters were "freedom" But at the end he "shoots his reflection" basically saying "I'm not this person, I know this now... time to move on and make a better me" Breaking away from his depressed "perception"

[@ReactionTherapyOfficial]

Nice take! Thank you for this!😊👍

[@thereseball]

Another "ouchie" song ... heartstrings taut. But, just can't get enough.

Finally I'm Back... Tom thank you so much for your reactions.. I dont think you realize the reach your channel has and how much it actually helps your viewers(from. My point of view anyway) thanks for another great video and breakdown.. Keep it up

[@ReactionTherapyOfficial]

Thank you so much! I appreciate these comments and it keeps me going!😊👍

[@Captain_Kirk116]

I think your right about him talking to himself in this song cuz he's said before that he's a perfectionist, and he says, "you just want perfection". Also, he talks about shooting his reflection. The 7 letters he's talking about is the word freedom cuz early on in the song he says, "maybe get a taste of freedom".

[@ReactionTherapyOfficial]

Well said!😊👍

[@jazz_jazz4936]

Yeahs! I was really waiting for this one. For the next one maybe 'I miss the days'? That would be awesomee

[@MrTambourineMan.]

This song hits me in my soul. Never done Psychedelics but it feels like what I imagine that experience is like. Great breakdown

[@kingutt7775]

I’m sure you have a whole list of songs to react too but you should add NF- Prideful and Drifting. Enjoy your reactions keep up the good work!

[@jcBentleyB3]

I think the seven letters is a double...the word FREEDOM but could be the title of the song LET ME GO

[@SachinDewthuru]

7 Letters are, F R E E D O M. Before that line in the same verse, he said he's already out of the cell. "Out of the cell now, where am I headed" NF IS SO POETIC!

[@TheAwesomeCamo]

I found myself in the same place thinking about what the seven letters could be when I first listened to the song. The first thing coming to mind was 'suicide' which probably reflected the state of mind I was in at the time. But after reading the comments, 'freedom' probably sounds a bit more likely.

[@BrayBray3000]

In my eyes the seven letters is Freedom what we all look for

[@darkmorg-FTP]

Was waiting all day for you hahaha. Just got done with work and saw a notification from you and just excited to hear your thoughts. Your awesome and nothing but good vibes your way!

[@TheGreatBrandino12]

The 7 letters are FREEDOM

[@danrandall3772]

Just my opinion... trying your hardest to understand wether it's a situation, a song even a belief should never be viewed as negative. Your channel has opened eyes and given people insite they did not have before. Having multiple perspectives and being able to see how others might see something different than you to me is the whole point of reaction videos. I hope you learn not doubt wether your channel is positive or negative. If its viewed by others as negative they just dont understand or have much empathy..... Long as you enjoy it and it's not hurting others it shouldn't matter anyway. Thank you so muxh for the time and work it goes into your videos. By they way not sure if its true but its rumored new NF music on the way. Saw what appeared to be a leaked clip of a new song he was recording in the studio!

[@ReactionTherapyOfficial]

Awesome comments! Thanks so much for all this!😊👍

[@_HolyHell_]

I know the comments seem to think that the 7 letters are for freedom, but when I first heard this song I was curious too and I found something different. I didn’t see anything specifically for the song but I did find the following information: “Revelation 2-3 records seven letters written by Jesus to seven churches. In the church at Ephesus, Jesus finds a lot to praise, but his heart is broken by one glaring absence: love. Revelation 2:1-7” and I thought it was a double meaning thing with the 7 letters also being in “let me go”

[@ReactionTherapyOfficial]

Love this charlotte! I gabbby thought of this, thank you😊👍

[@sez5260]

Gutted I missed the live Lots of love xxx

[@ericabingham0417]

A lot of people think he’s talking about suicide because he says “let me go” and talks about they want me dead (and i do believe he is talking to himself for the most part so it would make sense) but I think he wants freedom. Poetically speaking though suicide can be a metaphor for freedom, plus like you said 7 letters for let me go. If you think metaphorically they can all mean the same thing. That’s always what I thought those 3 meanings can all be right in a way!

[@ReactionTherapyOfficial]

Nice take! Thank you😊👍

[@stormyrose7437]

I absolutely love you~~42 years of abuse, and you have helped me so very much. You're an Angel...and I also believe that I am as well...despite my life-long turmoil...I still feel the yearning and duty to help, make others laugh, make others happy...the 7 letters represent...perfection. That is God's number. You'll see it in nature...and all forms of life. I was born in 77. So, seven is divinely significant💫💥

Keep up the good work, I was all ways wondering how a psychotherapist thinks about NF music and how many people dealing with many problems gravitate to him as well find help with in listing to him. When I first found NF next to no one was listing to him then not long later I started finding people that did then not much more after that I found people that had addiction problems tell me NF helps them. Few years ago I remember a guy just got out of a rehab place and it was next to a CVS I go to he needed a ride right up the road I felt ok help him and when he got in and I was playing NF he was shocked and was telling me how much NF music helps him. He looked confused given I looked so called normal and well off given the vehicle I was driving why I would be listing to NF. This was the first time I got someone to explain why they take what they do even tho they know what It can do to them, way I found to ask end up getting the same from others that would never know how to put it in to words. Hard to explain in comments with out it being too long. As for NF music I think any one can listen and appreciate how real with raw emotions he puts in to it with so many parts all of us can really relate to, his skills to rime / rap as well Tommee way of doing things with production just nothing sort of amazing.

[@TheNighthawk112]

To me almost all NF's music is both singing to himself, and singing to gGd. You can see it much more on his earlier stuff. I feel like he's telling his OCD and anxiety to let him go. Suffering from those myself, it seems like that.

[@CyberstronGamer]

Hey man, since you are psychotherapist, you could react to "Diary of a Madman" by Ozzy Osbourne. But since you have a guitar in background, I assume you know the song. In case you don't, the song is about a man going insane who writes a journal about it. His mind is fragmented and he keeps questioning himself and his sanity. It's a great metal/rock ballad, especially since its the last album the guitarist Randy Rhoads worked on before he died in 1982. I would really like your to hear your perspective on it.

[@ReactionTherapyOfficial]

Very cool! Hopefully soon!😊👍

[@rlawsiw]

This is is about him speaking to hisself , or to his own demons . Kinda like the balloons are reference as his baggage and letting them go is releasing his pain

Tom I would love for you to react to Linkin Park! In terms of lyrics about mental health, Linkin Park had been singing and rapping about it since the late 90’s/early 2000’s. Sadly, the lead singer Chester Bennington took his own life 4 years ago. I think it would really pique your interest, and their music is timeless.

I think the seven letters is FREEDOM

[@joyilie5424]

People think the 7 lettered word is freedom, but I think it is suicide. The song also lists every way to end one's life. Also, which is why he asks if he would find Heaven or Hell, if he reached the 7 lettered word. He speaks several times about being suicidal in other songs.

[@reneedisabatino3693]

That is an interesting perspective except for the fact that he says....If I let you go and find the seven letters ive been looking for. I don't think that fits. He wants to find suicide???

[@joyilie5424]

@@reneedisabatino3693 He says, I been looking for us like it's never ending. "Looking for" is not in the same 7 letters line. Its a new line, not the same, like you stated. People who kill themselves are looking for relief. Exactly what and how this song explains. They are not looking for death. No one looks for death. It is what he was hospitalized for, also. Being suicidal. Suicide is about wanting the misery to let you go.

[@emily_stewart]

NF is talking to himself but more specifically speaking to his negativity/lies as though they're they're own entity, which coincides with other songs of his speaking of other feelings/emotions such as fear and anger. Also, the seven letters he's looking for is "FREEDOM", which he's mentioned in a few past songs, it's the only thing that really makes sense, he wants freedom from his own mind/thoughts. Honestly if I dig deep enough, he reminds me of Chris Cornell, we all know how that ended, searched but never found peace and ultimately committed suicide. Let's hope NF finds his peace.
