Welcome to the NF rabbit hole! He is another phenomenal artist. This song is so powerful and sad. If things had been very slightly different, I could have been NF's mother and am so thankful for my sobriety. Really appreciate your open and honest reaction 💜💜

This song is one the most raw and truthful songs ever. He didn't sugar coat anything in this.

He really put it all out there. The raw truth. It is painful and heartbreaking, and so powerful.

One of the most difficult songs I’ve ever listened to-and I’ve listened to it many times but it doesn’t get easier. Bless you and your family.

Very difficult. Very raw and powerful song. It is sad and heartbreaking it had to exist in the first place. Thanks for being here!

Oh you started with the saddest of his songs. He's got lots of songs that will "punch you in the gut" so to speak. Like his brand, NFrealmusic, he's too real sometimes 😆 I'm like "oh Nate you popped my pink little bubble again, got me down from my fluffy clouds...." BAM, straight back to earth, with your lyrics. There is no escaping yourself when listening to NF. And I love him for it.

Very heavy and heartbreaking song. Love that he can be so open and honest about these very hard topics and situations from his own life. I am sure it can help a lot of people (and has helped)

I think you started with the most difficult one. I cringed when I saw you were reacting to this one. A person below gave you a lengthy run down of what to start with and what to look for. He's VERY complex, VERY talented, VERY intentional! I totally understand how impossible it is to explain how addiction feels. "You can't get it unless you get it." is the only way to explain it. Hugs for your heart. One day at a time......Thank you for reacting to this.

Saw him a few months back. I waited 7 years to get to see him. His show was incredible. Mansion is the best song. If anyone listens to it then watch the hope video after and you see the connection. Other great ones are: Nate, notepad, the search, why, real, mama ( he cries now on stage because he healed through his music and forgives her.) paid my dues, pandemonium, suffice, bullet,gone,all his intros and outros,careful,remember this, the search, leave me alone,when I grow up,therapy session,story (it’s the only song that he made up and it will literally blow your mind. You will not believe what happens in it. You will never suspect it. It is so well done) Some songs have videos and some don’t. let you down song has a double meaning he’s actually talking to himself; at the end of the video when he’s staring at the lake you hear somebody say, Nate. That’s him as he’s older reflecting on his life. you have to start from the first album and go on what he calls the Journey. He has a lot of double meanings. He usually is speaking to himself because he has an angel on one shoulder and evil on the other. That’s why when he started he always wore black and now he wears white because he used music as his therapy and he came full circle. He’s like Taylor Swift with all the Easter eggs and how all the songs are intertwined that’s why I love them both. They are so talented.

I understand what you are trying to say, addiction is a disease of the brain. just like depression. It might start out as some kind of "choice" (usually triggered by desperation or trauma) but quickly becomes a disease. And the vulnerability for addiction is genetic, so it's not as easy as "just saying no". Of course it's not. With an overly active brain too, like when you have adhd, it's even easier to get stuck in addiction. I can imagine the shame that comes with it.. must be excrutiating. 😢😢 many hugs to you.

Exactly. It is very hard to describe. Definitely something i never would have envisioned for myself, but it happened anyway. Definitely started out as a means to quiet my overactive brain. It helped for a bit, but now i am grateful that i found healthier ways of doing that. Again thanks so much for watching and taking the time to comment ❤️

Man, you started with a really hard one. Makes me tear up every time😢. Thanks for your honest words. I'm happy for you that you got over your addiction 💪. Much love ❤🫂

2023 Updated NF Journey List Appreciate you NIKKI-1979 For making this list! 🎶 This is for anyone new who may want to take the NF journey as we call it because he intertwines his music like marvel movies. All of his albums are like a connected series. He also hides eggs in his videos which he co-directs and co-produces. For example in his “When I Grow Up” song there were four hidden eggs in that song: 1. A black balloon by the trash cans (black balloon represents his burdens per search single) 2 In the burger joint he grabbed at receipt that had the date and time of when his song time was being released. 3. He had outcast written on his name tag in the janitor scene which references his Outcast song. 4. He had his moments album CD in car scene Another example is in the search song he had cage in background he rapped in from his outcast song. Search single also connects to Hope. In Hope he has the “map to hope”. The black smile you will see painted on his mouth is explained in his therapy session song. Here is the song order: MANSION ALBUM: 1. All I have (VIDEO)- Will connect to his Suffice single from Hope album. 2. Intro (VIDEO) (Connects to Outro) 3. Mansion- will connect to Intro 3. Fear moved in. Also connects to paid my dues.

(This isnt nates flow he says) Also he has a ton of eggs like Dont mess with real music written on walls. Pay attention to all writing on the walls* connects to Motto as well SEARCH ALBUM Whole album should be listened to. Below is mainly the journey songs and hype songs: 1 The search (VIDEO) He pays homage to kanye west.

That brain rewiring starts with trauma. In the U.S. there were 86,000 overdose deaths last year - which sounds awful, but the year before it was 112,000...so I have hope. I relate to this song from the same side that you relate to it.
