Also, if you're in the mood for an emotionally devastating video - Happy is an incredible song in which you get to hear Nate sing. Hope is an incredible video too with the visual representation of the internal psyche battle... but I imagine if you're a fan of NF you could pretty much list every one of his songs and you'd be blown away! He really is an unprecedented talent.

I feel like NF and Ren just paint an absolutely flawless picture of what trauma looks like inside a person's mind, where they to create a sort of linear narrative. It's incredibly comforting to hear someone articulate trauma and mental illness the way they do. When I first heard this song it was like someone wrote a song about my life and that's both reassuring and tragic at the same time. Something about Michigan just seems to breed abusive parents. To hear Nate's story, and Ren's for that matter, just breaks my heart. Yet it's reassuring to see someone whose endured so much accomplish what they have. Living hope, that is.

[@twnt5861]

I was born and have lived in Michigan my whole life with wonderful parents and I have raised my two son's the same way I was raised. Abusive parents are Everywhere, not just Michigan. Please don't generalize.

[@JAlexanderSnow]

@@twnt5861 I was born there as well and spent the first 22 years of my life there. I knew far more people who grew up in abusive homes than those who didn’t. At no point did I suggest that it was an epicenter or that Michigan alone gave rise to horrible parents. I simply said there was something there that seemed to breed them, and I said so from personal experience as well as the experiences of those I’ve personally met. I’ve also been a magnet for the worst quality human beings my entire life. My general experience with people has been profoundly negative, yet I still find myself daring to believe in them. Good people are everywhere, so are bad ones. I make statements based on experience I have, but it doesn’t cloud my judgement of all people. I’m not that ignorant. From what I’ve seen first hand there seem to be more in Michigan (specifically in the town I grew up) than anywhere else I’ve been. If I gave the impression that Michigan alone has shitty parents or that they don’t exist anywhere else I apologize. It’s not what I said and certainly not what I meant. I am, as I said, speaking to the majority of those I met - which I openly admit is not a great many compared to the multitudes that exist. My statement however still stands. I suppose my mistake here was not prefacing my comment with ‘in my experience’. But hey, nobody’s perfect 🤷‍♂️

​@@HeartSupport See the pain inside my eyes? It hurts. I've been DOA since birth. Feeling like I'm cursed. As a hollow shell, I walk the earth. Aching for a life with worth. Is this all there is? This desolate dearth? Or is this a cruel cosmic jest? A puppet dance with no promised rest? A million suns blink their uncaring gaze. On a tiny stage, I'm lost in a cosmic maze. Yet, a single star whispers through the haze. A fleeting reminder of beauty's soft phrase. A whisper of strength that the universe conveys. Though lost in the maze, with a heart that still plays. I'll dance to the rhythm, and embrace the bright rays. In this cosmic dance, harmony I find. A universe unfolding, with peace of mind. The pain may linger, but the spirit will mend. As I dance with the stars, until the end. With each step I take, a truth I uncover. The path to my worth, a journey I'll recover. Lost stars may find solace, a hand to ignite. Together we'll rise, bathed in love's guiding light. ~ZyhrenSong~

[@Ontaros1]

One of my favorite parts of this song is when he's talking about his room of regrets. Says he doesn't want to face it but he might as well cause that's the room where he sleeps. In other words all his regrets rush in when he's trying to sleep, when there's no distractions to keep him safe from those regrets. Now that you've heard this though, if you don't plan to specifically take "the journey" Intro III connects directly to this song if you want more of this line of thought.

Oh my lady, what a rollercoaster ride have ahead of u but remember this part for intro 3.. love ur NF reactions 😊

[@joshuacraig6447]

This song captures all of us who suffered some form of abuse. For myself, I was emotionally, mentally, and verbally abused in my childhood. Instead of getting help, I bottled it up inside and it affected every relationship I had including my two older kids who won't talk to me now. It took some major events through three marriages and divorces and committing a violent act that broke me. I am thankful to God and the therapists He put in my life for the healing and change I have experienced. That hurt never goes away, but I have learned to positively cope with them. I still have a long road of healing but I am more open to it now than I was before.

[@dennisr.4918DennyDesigns]

You have no idea the depth and vast collection of NF music. I could not love your reaction to this song more! Thank you. You have just touched the surface of this journey. In this song we learn NF personifies his emotions. We met Fear and learned he sleeps with Regret. These two will be back in future songs. Amazing commentary and counsel.

Your reaction is the same reaction that my brain has every time I hear this…and I’ve been hearing it for many years…and quite often. He somehow created a narrative that explains to those that don’t deal with these thoughts/emotions (like I do) what it feels like in the inside. Absolutely brilliant. Great reaction as always by the way.

I always love the line that says about "this is the room where I sleep". It always triggers in me this vision of, when he lies down and closes his eyes at night, those are the memories that he dreams about. That even when he's not awake, he can't get away from the things that tear him apart.

WHOO! I was waiting for your reaction to this NF song!

[@user-ui5iz4ub9m]

I love that you reacted to this one. It still hits deeper than anything and helps me deal with the consequences of abuse. I opened that door, but so many others are still closed from that. There isn’t a soul in the world on whose shoulder I would willingly cry, but this was the reminder I needed that hiding from the people who care about me will never help. Who knew a music reaction could be a mini therapy session lol. Great video ❤

Genuinely impressed at Nate's self awareness for a guy his age. Im sure theres a few rooms, cupboards that i need to be facing..

[@DeepeningTheListening]

In "Hope" Nate says that he got help to start the healing process. His self awareness is impressing and I'm so happy that he puts it in his lyrics. Getting an expert to help with self awareness makes things a lot faster than trying to do it all on your own.

[@Ryandavis62095]

This song literally just brought me to tears. I relate to every word of this song. I've gone through so much shit, and I've spent most of my life alone. I have been living almost exclusively in my head. I've never felt more seen than I do now.

[@HeartSupport]

From Micro: @Ryandavis62095 It's amazing to hear that this music makes you feel seen. There's something beautiful in feeling like a song can echo the way we've been feeling deep inside, especially when our struggles have been isolating us from the rest of the world. It's really hard to feel like you're constantly in survival mode though, having to gather strength and resilience time and time again without a support system to lean on. It's like being in the middle of a storm with no shelter, just enduring the winds and rain with no one to share the struggle with you or to offer comfort. I'm sorry, friend, that you've had to endure so much and deal with it mostly by yourself. Somehow, we built resilience through this type of loneliness, but it would also be so much mor ecomforting to always someone trusted by our side during our darkest moments. When you've had to face so much on your own, it can create this deep sense of isolation, even when you're surrounded by people. It's like there's this invisible wall between you and the rest of the world, a barrier built from the times you've had to rely on yourself. You start to feel like you're carrying a secret, the weight of your experiences that others can't truly understand or relate to. The loneliness becomes a shadow that you carry around with you all the time, and at some point you're also just tired to even try reaching out altogether. It feels safer and more familiar to rely on yourself. You don't have to carry this all by yourself anymore, even if it feels like that's all you've known. You have a community right here of people who have been through the same, or similar experiences, and where sharing our vulnerability can turn out to be a strength to all of us collectively. You're not alone in feeling this way, and you deserve to feel supported and understood. You deserve to have the possibility to share your story too. So, truly, thank you for being here.:heart:

when he's talking about his mom and said "we ain't got enough room in this song." Well that's because in his next album Therapy Sessions, he has the song "How could you leave us" which is the exact song about what happened with his mother. I highly encourage listening to it. Then on his latest album Hope, he has the song "Mama" which is essentially the conclusion to his mama problems.

[@isabella9654]

I can't wait to get my 7 & 8 string guitar and drum set back. I sold them during a BPD impulsive moment and have regretted it since. I'm so glad I found your channel and the fundraiser you're running because oddly enough, I've always told people who I confide into, that I speak my mind best through music and as a result, I will send songs such as some from NF when I'm depressed about my dad and don't know how to word it best, sometimes music lyrics get it just right. ❤

[@isabella9654]

To add to this, a perfect example is in this song: "This part of my house, no one has been in it for years. I built a safe room, I don't let no one in there 'cause if I do, they might disappear and not come back and I admit I'm emotionally scared to let anyone inside so I just leave my doors locked. You might get other doors to open up but this doors not. 'Cause I don't want you to have the opportunity to hurt me, and I'll be the only person that I can blame when you deserve me." Hits home waaaayyyyy too hard. I felt for the longest time that my dad's suicide was my fault and finally through therapy I understand he had his own reasons. During my transition this past year, my mother and step father kicked my wife and I out from a home they let us stay in due to me being disabled with epilepsy. As a result, trauma from my mother doing this and playing victim as if she had no say in the matter, my constant thoughts of those around me are "...if my mom will do it then they definitely will" so why even try? I just stay isolated and I'm still working on not having these thoughts but having borderline personality disorder doesn't help the situation, especially with my wife when I always feel that she will leave eventually so just mentally prepared for it is how I live. At the moment, my trust is practically nonexistent. Just my personal experience
