I took this as Nate apologizing to his younger self for letting himself fall into the mental state he was in. He is reflecting on how he let the fear and depression take ahold of him for so long. And I feel this song also has a double meaning and is a song to his father as well. Thats what is so great about his music, it relates to so many people because it can be related to in so many ways.
"He's trapped in every situation, and he's just being looked at and not getting any help" I think that's the most accurate I've heard someone describe this music video. Once you think about that, you realize the other things NF may have been thinking about while writing this.
It’s about the size of the fight in the dog. I’ve got a hole in my roof and I’m still going. Just wait till I get my home and freedom back. We’re just getting started!!
This song is me and my dad to the core. Done everything I can to make him proud and make him be part of mine and my family life, but We are always last in his priorities. Then get mad when his grandkids don’t want anything to do with him.
It's very interesting that apparently the "female child" voice is just NF dramatically adjusted. Pretty cool remember hearing this the first time and thinking it was Eminem and Grace Vanderwaal. Super talented hope he fines success and happiness.
Great reaction to a great song. And happy to hear that your "Clouds" reaction exists, is just stuck in YT purgatory, will be excitedly looking forward to its eventual release. Keep kickin' ass! #AoD
I have tons of songs stuck in YT Purgatory. It’s honestly crazy how they do reaction channels. Nearly impossible and you have to be in love with this if you plan on sticking around.
So I commented yesterday about realizing you hadn't done Clouds yet and begging for it. Now I know you have done it I HAVE TO SEE IT!!! Damn it RU-vid! Love your reactions Cliff ❤
I definitely remember hearing this song on the radio a few times at work never knowing it was NF till later on when I started listening to his music more
Great reaction! Many people don't let it go to the end for the chilling detail. It is his most played song... triple platinum and will be referenced in the song WHY.
It's about his dad but also about himself being in these bad situations and he doesn't help himself out of them he just watches himself crash and burn until it killed him mentally
Just started following and going through your NF journey. Loving it so far. Any real NF fan knew exactly which song you were talking about when you said you've heard one song before and ik I was waiting for you to get to it, be real and tell us you heard it. Much love, stay REAL brotha!
Those underground artists like NF, Ren, Yelawolf and all of the other ones are in a genre all unto themselves! They spread music that people need to hear. I am very greatful to youtube that they can have their music on and for reactors like you that can bring awareness to all of these musician unicorns!
great reaction and amazing video breakdown! his lyrics has a lot of really raw emotions, indeed 🙈. but at least he deals with them and not supress them. that's what I like a lot. 🙃
Song's first verse is by his father to Nate saying all the stuffs that never worked out with his son and now he regrets that he let down his son (Nate) In second verse Nate speaking about what he actually did to him. And in third verse he is telling that where he is now...saying it's like we're in the edge right now... I also understand this by countless times of listening and by watching this vide..hope this helps 😘. Great reaction bro...loved it
from my interpretation of it is that he is thinking about how he felt about his parents and is worried about if hes going to ended up turning into his dad and do the same thing he did
Love the reactions man. Especially when it's NF. You seem to catch bars most people miss. I also appreciate when you call out the flow switches and how he rides the beat. I apologize it took me a little while to subscribe but I'm here now and I don't plan on missing any more that you drop. I would really like to see you react to Statement. Much respect homie. Keep on grindin, you are doing your thing.
You’re good brother. I don’t subscribe to many people either. But welcome to the Army of Darkness. If you have any requests or need anything hit me up 24/7 boss. I’m not like most channels. I talk to everyone and have your back. 👊 💯
I have nothing but respect for you homie. It really means a lot that you committed back on a personal level and not some generic comment that you could have sent to anyone. I've seen many of your reactions and I can tell the love you have for rap and good music in general and it's contagious. I catch myself having to calm down after your reactions because the energy you bring is insane. Like I said before, keep doing what you're doing and it's just a matter of time before you blow up. You're genuine and you are making your own lane. Keep grindin and I'm looking forward to able to sit back and see where you are going to go from here. Your passion and energy is going to take you a long way.
@@derektaylor798 appreciate that brother. Yeah I’m only a few months old. Im going to be bringing some improvements to the channel but it will always be the same old me. Doesn’t matter how many subs or views I get. I’ll always keep it 💯. Again, much appreciated bro. Enjoy your night 👊
Yes he taps into a certain energy when writing. It’s wonderful to listen to and watch him do... but my mind soaks it up just like you. Not good for my work lol
Always enjoy watching your reactions! You always keep it real and honest! Please react to the KYDD! His songs are: Chosen One, Icy Hot, Wear It Well, and My Fellow Americans. You really need to check him out as soon as possible! Please! Thank you!
In the video I explain that RU-vid won’t allow me to upload my reaction to clouds. It’s stuck in RU-vid purgatory for copyright reasons. As soon as they let me I will release it 🙏
😄 NF and Eminem comparison, really? there are no similarities apart from good lyricism, michigan accent and 'white rapper '. except suddenly...Eminem started rapping to cinematic beats, changed his tone of voice, changed his flows, cadence and stopped cussing. even the metaphors they use are different. 🙈 I've listened to Eminem since my childhood and I still cant understand those comparisons. I think both are such incredible lyricists.😊
@@nataliez.4470 "Good lyricism" is where I draw the line. They are good lyricist only if you aren't aware of the 99% other side of hip-hop which includes like 40 better lyricists than both of them combined. They are decent at best, Em's content is dick jokes for the past 10 years and one of the worst hip-hop albums ever with Revival, he's completely out of touch and it's rubbing off on his fanbase.
@@dadorage1695 I think out of a box, I'm aware of many great hiphop artists. NF has never said he is the best, he is rather humble. It's your opinion and I definitely respect it though..I was just confused about you calling someone 'fake' who is very real in a world where there are still so many mumble rappers in hiphop... which is definitely worse. 🙂
@@CliffBeatsOfficialJust waiting for real lyricism to be actually tackled, I don't think rappers like Tom Macdonald need a platform, they already have way too big of a fanbase considering how bad their content is
Used to have to turn this song off when it came on the radio so I didn’t show up at work looking like I’d had a breakdown sitting in traffic... but I’m gonna get this view in for you, Cliff... 🙄 (does it count if I mute the audio?🤔😇)
I’m sorry Kelley! Do what you must. Dont torture yourself! But you’ll miss me predict the future 😂🙏 Dont put yourself through anything difficult please!
