Balloons = Burdens

@blucaptain

I like the juxtaposition of the balloons usually seen as something light, colorful and whimsical. But as burdens, they’re black and they weigh him down over the time of the song. Happens in this one where the burdens tire him out enough for him to just curl up in his safe space. In Leave Me Alone he moves slower and slower as the song goes. Even has his fans pushing him towards the end at one point

I get where you are coming from. I was just seeing a reaction to Roundabout in which there were so many stops to comment on details that it felt like the whole was not being perceived. On the other hand, if you watch reactions, you expect the host(s) to react. Sometimes that involves stopping. This one had no breaks at which to comfortably stop. How Could You Leave Us and Mama both have natural stopping places and commentary on the lyrics is called for.

It brings so much joy to see someone get so excited seeing this journey for the first time. Everything, every track and every video connects. Nf and his genius team go crazy

NF is another one of those special humans that will probably never even know how much he really helped people no matter how much people say it or how many listeners, views he gets, etc because he’s so humble

The bars on shopping cart represents the prision that nate built in the album perception. You can see the cell in the background of the video. Climbing into the cart represents a feeling of being captive or trapped again. The balloons represent burdens that we carry. White clothing represents hope and positivity, dark clothing represents poor mental health. The woman laying on the bench sleeping that he desperately tries to wake represents his mother who is at rest (rip) and highlights a desire for that relationship

Damn good breakdown!

You're absolutely right. NF's REALMUSIC can change people's lives. To share a quick story, I was at the MOTTO video shoot and they had a girl that had went up to Nate and showed him a tattoo that she said she got as a reminder that his music saved her life. His music was the spark she needed to get help after going through issues after being raped. She was suicidal. Everyone there was in tears and everyone hugged and consoled her and thanked her for sharing. That's the power of REALMUSIC. It was a beautiful moment of the best in people. NF'S music did that. I'll never forget that. So thank you too for sharing your journey and thoughts which is also beautiful which probably too will help othets.

The number of people who have written comments on How Could You Leave Us saying that seeing how a parent's drug abuse affects the children inspired them to get clean and sober is remarkable.

His shoes are his iconic Timberlands. Been wearing them for forever. I love the revisit hope after but the journey starts back at mansion. Glad to see you again reacting to NF for real :) I am glad to see that you realize that showing emotion is a part of being alive. It brings on a new level of beauty to a lot of us!

This will always be one of my favorite songs ever NFs best album 💿 the search

Always love your reactions Aileen! More NF! Much love

Wild how he say “I’m lookin for the map the Hope, you seen it?” Since that’s the name of his most recent album. Dudes a wizard.

Thank you so much for continuing to react to NF... your reactions and comments are so real and help me too! Nate is able to put into words and music that I haven't been able to myself. His music has helped me and continues to help me.

Yay… great reaction. And so happy that you have begun your journey to healing. We are so blessed that Nate has shared his healing journey with us… he’s put into words what has been so hard for us to express.

New to the channel and I LOVEEEE NF so I’m am really enjoying seeing you go down the rabbit hole!! Literally watching all your video right now!!! Love your reactions!

This is one of my favorite newer songs from NF, and I've listened to it idk how many times, but man... seein the emotions wash over you made it hit kinda different.

I love that you listen to the entire song before reacting, taking the song/video in it’s entirety makes such a huge difference. Thank you for bringing us along on your NF journey.

really enjoy your NF reactions. I am a huge NF fan but its fun to see someone new dive into the NF journey . As its always a great thing to see NF's art being viewed by more people. But it helps when someone like yourself just does the reaction with good energy , personality and someone who is really taking in the journey.

Always great to listen to you breakdown NF. Enjoying all that you do. Looking forward to the next one. Keep up the great work.

This is my absolute favorite NF song. Mind you it was the first song of his that I had heard so it has that special place in my heart. Hope is AMAZING! But I listen to The Search at least 3 times a day at work. Great reaction as always, I can't wait to watch you continue The Journey!

Keep up the great work and congrats on 170k❤

I love you reactions!!! I could watch you listen to music all day!!!

The map to Hope lyric, he carries around the map to Hope and the actual hope video, when he references the song changes that's on his search album, and back his late mother passed away on the bench she is holding three black balloons that represent her children including Nate

Good reaction. Thanks for your honesty. Be sure to go back to the beginning and take in that part of the Journey

The deep dives are always fun to watch😆

Love it great job keep up the awesome reactions

It's great to see you enjoying yourself so much reacting to NF's videos.

i could tell that there were so many times that u wanted to pause it to talk about it and other times in which u were vibin a little, the reactions are priceless 😂❤

Aileen thank you so much for all that you do for us. I love seeing you grow with us through music. I'm not sure but I think you answered a question Ive wondered for the last ten months since Ive discovered your channel. I am an empath and you hit it spot on with it being overwhelming but in a good way. We train ourselves to not overload and shut down not to feel but its what we need to face what we are dealing with and fulfill our purpose to help and heal others. You give us so much emotion it always stuck out to me that you may be an empath as well as I go through the same. So its interesting you brought it up. As always you did a wonderful job. You are loved so very much!

It’s nice to see people becoming nf fans bc I grew up with nf from his beginning journey and it was a hella of a ride that Fr can be a therapy session for certain situations for each person’s experience not to mention his music can be the type of song to help express our feelings to others when it’s hard to explain emotions so it’s really a blessing nf can help translate our emotional experience by being our voice for some of us using music as a tool of communicating and art expressing after all music is life

Finally!! As always, great reaction🙌😯

Its the little things he puts in his music and everything just flows together like the Verse "I'm looking for the map to Hope, You seen it"?.. With him obviously finding the map to Hope in his Album/Song - Hope, and the verse "I don't know if I'm making movies or videos". lol Its pretty much like a movie with this story with how well its all put together. Just a Master Piece in its own. Love your energy and Reactions. Keep it up!

FINALLY!! haha this was the reaction I've been waiting for thank you! You've made my day 😊👍. Bars, upon bars, upon bars! The NF Journey can't be explained in one song but this particular song takes you on a mini one it leaves you breathless. I listen to this everytime I'm lifting. Gets the people going! 🤣

Amazing! Thank you for sharing this !

I love your reactions sooooooooo much ! You give me so much life! Love you so much Aileen!!!!!❤

First of all you’re gorgeous. Second, I’ve been absolutely jamming to this song and love it! My aunt and I were sharing songs back and forth and she told me to listen to this and I feel it so hard ❤❤❤ so relatable. Also your facial expressions had me fighting tears cause I could tell you were feeling it too ❤

You are in prime cut NF here. I am so glad you did this song Aileen. This is another Intro like Hope which means it has no chorus. All the Intros have the same characteristics. You deserved this song right now with all the hard songs you have done already. I would definitely to Leave Me Alone next which might be even better that this song. It is the continuation of this song. Also, Why is part of this trilogy. And this song is a masterpiece.

I enjoy your breakdowns! Please keep up the great work and have a fantastic week

So many directions you can go after this. Therapy Session will relate to your comments. Leave Me Alone and WHY relate to The Search video. Intro 3 relates to Mansion. Then there's a whole series of videos connected with the video for Outro (Wake Up, Therapy Session, I Just Wanna Know, HCYLU, Real). Here for whichever direction you take.

If you're planning on doing this whole album, definitely be mentally prepared. It's a very dark album. I whole-heartedly believe it's one of the best albums of the last 10 years, but I can't really listen to it anymore, myself. It came during a point in my life where I unfortunately related strongly to it. Thankfully, I don't anymore, but if I'm not careful, listening to it can kind of drag me back there. Just be mentally prepared for that.

Great reaction!!🔥🔥🔥 Part two to NF SEARCH is NF LEAVE ME ALONE 🔥🔥🔥🔥

"Leave Me Alone" sheds a bit more light on the clothing. White clothing is traditional treatment via meds etc. All of the whote clothed folks in the background have fewer balloon burdens, but they just sort of wander listless. Watch the color of his clothes going forward. They get gradually lighter thanks to his own therapy via his music. You will recall Hope had him in very light gray. Not there yet, but he is working on it!

NF videos and music are awesome

I'm a metal head, myself. I do like other genres but metal is by far my favorite. Rap may very well be my least favorite genre, but I do really dig this song. The lyrics are dark but they also come across as honest and I would assume relatable to many

love this song and love your reactions... always so real 🔥🔥

Your voice melts my heart

U need to check out his song JUST LIKE YOU & ONLY they don't mess up the journey in any way I think you'll really enjoy them great messages

Great reaction Cant wait for MORE NF and others

Ohhhhh the Search is soooooo good. Leave Me Alone* is amaaaazing too.💥💥

As someone who has non stop RBF, I LOVE that the expressions you show on your face are exactly what I'm feeling. NF brings a LOT of emotion to the game, and I'm here for it! Can't tell you how many times I've felt joy or cried to his music. LOVE it!

Notable Fuerza!!!🎶🎶🗣🗣❤❤

Keep the NF coming!

He likes his Tims. He mentions that in Outcast. I always look forward to your reactions. You come across very genuine. Keep it up.

He does the same thing you do use your platform to help us know we don't have to fight alone Thank You❤❤❤❤

10:16 that's true! NF music really helpful in my process to be better version of myself. NF is the first person that I have listen in hip hop/ rap genre and you know what? I'm not regret it at all. That's my best decision that I make. Thank You, Nathan!

Love u Aileen. You are very articulate. A breath of fresh air ❤

Nf is a Lyrical Genius and we all need to protect him at all costs as we all can learn so much from him!!!

I’m going to his concert and I’m so excited

first time seeing someone being swept up in music the same way I do, subscribed and loved it! gonna watch a bunch of your stuff now, hope you have a great day!

Beautiful reaction. Love it, very natural for me. You are you

Whats sad is most people dont even know they are broken..just go through life bitter or depressed..i believe in what i see i believe in what i hear...i believe in what im feeling changes how the world appears..hang in there people

It’s time for the track “Remember This” It’s definitely a MUST

there's part 2 to "the search" name of the song called "leave me alone" you should react to it to make more sens. great reaction by the way can't wait for what come next.

The shoes are just his style... long shirt and tims😌

Great reaction. Going out of order means you're gonna miss references. But you are picking up on a lot...and breaking it down really well. Now that you did this Leave Me Alone would make sense. Ir as we fans refer to ourselves as outcasts...you try that song. All in all great reaction.

“Some would say having a mental breakdown is a negative thing. Which on one hand I agree with. On the other hand it was the push I needed to get help and start the healing process” -nf hope 🖤

NF journey is a ride! He doesnt get the props he deserves.

NF will be in Anaheim CA soon on his tour

Leave Me Alone is the follow up song.

Therapy session next for sure

Everyone in the hip-hop commune already agrees not to sleep on Nate Legend is in his future

Esperei tanto NF de novo aqui 🇧🇷

There are so many great songs by NF. When I first started to listening to NF it was so therapeutic. I LOVE ur reactions to it. Her are my three recommendations for NF. 1. Bullet (About his wife and her pregnancy issues.) 2. Time (About the healing process) 3. Leave Me alone (about his OCD)

After listening to his discography further I would like to revise my comment to 1. Still Bullet 2. NATE (it is a letter back in time to himself. Really great to get to know him more) 3. I miss the days (imo the best NF song)

Shoes are always tims🤌🏼🤌🏼🤌🏼

Artistry personified this song.

You gotta watch “Change”. It is really incredible. Loved this entire album

Check the song "outcast". There was a cage at the beginning. The cart is a portable cage. My #1 song from Nate. Love it. Great reaction.

NF - Story 🙏🙏🙏

The main references you need to be aware of in this video are the black balloons represent his burdens and the empty shopping cart is supposed to be like a cage that he feels trapped in that he takes with him everywhere, that's why he got in the cart at the end. The video for Leave Me Alone is a sequel to this video. Great reaction as always!

Absolute banger

If you believe it or not, it's hard to deny that this is NF's reflection of Exodus: out of the confines of the cell (Egypt) into the dessert, searching for Hope (promised land), knowing he still has burdens of the lies and evil that still resides in his flesh (same as the Israelites), the cart can be seen as the Ark as well.

Speaking of Therapy, the song Therapy Session is a really big part of the journey. I definitely recommend reacting to it.

Nf breaks my heart everytime 💯💯💯💯😭😭😭😭😔😔

Should lead up with leave me alone after this one!

Leave me alone is next. The continuation to this song!

NF's in my top 5 up there with em, pac and big. Nf has got me through a lot of hard times and he's so relatable and speaks to all of my insecurities. Can't wait to see him live!!!
