Oh Lord is the song that brought me deep into NF's music. His first song I've heard of was When I grow up, but it didn't get me as much as Oh Lord did.
This song has gotten me through so many hard times, I suffer from depression, anxiety, ADHD, and OCD and NF's music has brought me through the worst of my life and I'm so thankful for Nate and his music
Thanks for sharing that man. Sorry to hear about your struggles but like you said, that’s the beauty of music and Nate. Stay strong brother, and stay safe 🙏
Same through but i only have anxiety and temper issues and trust issues but NFs music i just heard it today and it already made my top favorite singers
@@shadygeris3767 Manic Depressive, ADHD, PTSD here. I also struggled with addiction on and off throughout my life. Nate has really helped me through my self discovery journey and I have come a long way since getting into his music. I started going to therapy again and being more open about my thoughts/feelings with friends and family; reinforcing positive thoughts even when I don't believe them myself eventually changed my perspective on things.
My favorite thing about you is that you break down the rhyme scheme and the accent on the syllables and vowels. It isn't just the simple rhyme schemes either. You hear the double rhymes, the sentence rhyming, or bars. You talk about the beats and how it changes to reflect the song if it is significant to the song. I think about these things to myself when I am listening to music and it is really cool that other people are out there who truly like dissecting music as I do! Keep it up, bro!
@@johannamorales408 On its own it is a pretty good song. On the other hand, I'm not religious at all - therefore song doesn't speak to me as some other ones.
He may be the most under appreciated arist ever. His music is deep. So much meaning. Very complex and calculated. Beats are sick and fit him like a glove. And on top of it all his rap talent is 2nd to none in delivery, flow, switches, mood, cadence, etc...
Out of the whole song the ending gets to me the most with how broken and empty his voice sounds. Like you can feel the depression seeping out of his voice...
After u listen to NF. Your Style.of RAP just changes!😊 THATS THE POWER OF NF! Remember that Linefrom NF Song"I will make you feel like you are in it though"
I love the way you break down each of his songs! I love how Nate raps about real and relatable stuff.All of his music is so deep and I know it's helped and inspired a lot of people, including me. And I think you were the only person I've seen react to this that heard the kids in the background. Keep up the great videos man! (And I'm still waiting for my pencil and that grass 😂😂)
Haha, my secretary is slacking! Time to find new employment at Knox Hill industries.. you need a job? 🤣 Seriously though thanks for continuing to support! Means a lot 🙏
This song is so relatable to so many people that struggle within themselves. He says what he feels and I appreciate that so many people aren’t alone in his same struggles and he lets the world know....Well done my friend. Perfect reaction to another Michigan legend. 🔥💯 Knox. You really are the best.
I love your reactions, you really "explore" the songs and not just sit there and listen to them, specially when it's Nate we're talking about! Keep up the good work!
Honestly, it's so hard to listen to NF's songs because it relates so much and just makes your heart heavy and I've spent a lot of late nights just crying my soul out to them, but at the same I'm so thankful to have this music because even for a moment it doesn't feel like I'm so alone. Words can't fully describe NF, it's just something you feel deep in your soul.
Yuh. My pencil broke midway through my essay I demand a refund If i dont get one I wanna speak to your manager, Cuz maybe if she.m aint doin her job right Ill have to manager her Broken pencil Is my token and 50 cents will Be returned because Its broken like my mentality Im losin my sanity I need a new pencil Knox, help this be a good pencil county 🙏 😂
Knox Hill, you're one of the best reactors out there. Found you through NF Reactions, stuck around because I like all the other ones you do. Genius with the break downs and it's helped me enjoy these songs even more. Stay safe bro and God bless!
The ending always brings me back to the earlier line in the song where he says he's a broken record. There's so much symbolism and realness to this song
I’m only 13 and I don’t have depression or anxiety or any problems, but I still feel like NF helps me so much with his wisdom and his advice and through his raps. He is the true legend
“Suicidal thoughts come and go like a guest to me” can also be a double entendre if you think about it. He could mean it literally, and he can also mean it in the same sense that fear used to be a guest in his mansion (mind)
"I walk through the ashes of my passion". The things you really wanted to have or have happen in your life all burned up, but mentally you still picture them, you just can't have them cause they're ashes. In this song he is talking in his normal 2 person scheme, himself to himself. "I don't see you like I should". The part of him that hates himself talking to the part of him that still feels and wants to be optimistic. It's not really like an inner child, it's an inner turmoil between the part of you that still wants to love and be loved, and the part that's so hardened that it hates itself. Hating others for what they've done to you is 1 layer, hating yourself because of how long people have treated you poorly that you believe it is a deeper level. "I am not a spokesman I'm a broken record, whose sick of doin interviews cause I hate myself YYYAH!". That "YYYAH!" at the end, gets me every time. When you're so tired of hearing your own whining, and you know that others don't want to hear it either, but you just haven't passed that stage in your life yet. I remember those "YYYAH!" days. Eventually you stop talking to people about it, hold it deep down inside, and hope it goes away. It doesn't. In Intro III Nate says, "You know how I get it, I put everything off of my personal life, you hear what I'm sayin'?". What's the next album gonna be about? What was "Lost" eluding to at the end of Paid My Dues?
@@aseembathla4382 before that line he says, "Almost done" (meaning dealing with fear and anger issues), "should have done this a year ago, I don't know why I waited", then he says, "I put everything off of my personal life, you hear what I'm sayin'?". Putting something off is a saying when people don't deal with their issues, but in the next line he actually says, "That was a joke, yeah, it's hilarious ain't it?". NF ALWAYS talks about his personal struggles, so he is trying to deal with them, but specifically fear and anger (anger he hasn't touched yet he needs it for the song about Johnny, remember?) he hasn't fully dealt with them yet, he still struggles with his fears.
I haven't seen "How could you leave us" yet in your videos, would love to see that one, if you're in the right mood for it, because it's probably one of the most heavy songs he has.
Haven’t done that one yet! You guys are telling me how heavy it is and you’re right, waiting for the right mental space to hit it but it will happen for sure 🙌
Greeeaaat reaction🔥🔥. Also NF has line in his song called "Like this" *I feel more together when I am a mess *. I remembered this line when you told about that he is at war with good times 🥰🥰🥰
As an anxious depressed insomniac I love this song so fucking much its literally 12 am and I'm having what my friends called a depressive episode soo yeab
You should do "The One With My Friends" by Marty ft. NF and various other artists. NF absolutely kills it. This song was released right before NF's Therapy Session album, so it's a bit older (2015). Marty is also featured in NF's song "Grindin". Who knows, if you haven't heard it then everyone may find some other artists in that song they may like.
Thank you man I need someone to react the same that I do to his music His music helps me through my ADHD, Sadness, and whatever else. Keep up the good work bro, you’re doing amazing
Sometime I just feel like I don't want to be alone, but when someone is approaching me, I be like "No, you should not be with me. Go away.". I just don't know man, it's tiring.
YES. Best song on the album For 75k, you should do an extra long reaction to intro, intro 2, intro 3, and outro. Just a suggestion that we'd all love. Keep doing you Knox! 🙌
The child sounds in between the "Keep speaking to me but I can't have it" lines sounds like the beginning of 'Nate' to me. Also I think it's implying that he's never been able to have that peace.
Excuse me? It has been an hour and i still don't have my #2 Pencil!!! I love your reactions! I recommend "Trauma." By NF of course! i don't know if you have reacted to it yet but i still love it
Just now seeing this, but recently the line “walk through the ashes of my passions” became super real to me…when you’re lost its easy for things you loved to become something that no longer provides even a vague distraction from the thoughts and feelings you’ve going through…they fall like ashes and you sort though them trying to make sense of things by taking constant walks down memory lane. Very profound way of describing it.
Heeeyyy I love your new track! The whole rest of the day I was going about my day just muttering, "Push and pull, back and forth, like back and forth..."...over, and over, and over, and... 😄 P.S. I haven't received my poster yet. No worries, I know that you have a lot on your plate, buuut I would like to have one when you are able to get one out! 😋
When I found NF and started listening to his music, for the first time I felt like he was telling my story, singing my anthem. Then I realized I'm not unique and we are all tied together with a common thread. This song hits on every single point/base and scores with a home run. It's like he is my therapist who knows me, then wrote a song just for me. Then I realize, yet again, that I am not so special. Hard hits right here.
Dude ! love me some NF & a Knox Hill breakdown but you have to check out Acal's two new songs that he dropped this week. They're bangers bro ! Please !
I know the are old posts but I just needed to say that I love NF . I think it has to be hard to sing his songs over and over . Its like reliving all the pain he has been through. I'm sure it has to be hard for him. I wish he all the happiness in the world he deserves it. I think he is in the top 3 best rapper/singer out there now. He really is under appreciated, maybe because his songs are so raw and true to life situations but thats NF, that's what makes his music so good. Its like a 2 sided sword, he sings about his life but doing so, it is in his head all the time. Its so sad . I love NF I just hope he finds a way to figure out how he can enjoy his life with true happiness and peace , he really deserves it.
Great breakdown of this song! I like how you focus on the cadence and the instrumental on top of the lyrics! I've been on the NF train since the beginning!! You really have a gift of breaking down music! 🔥🙌 #VerseFam
When i heard this song live in a "small" hall (around 3k people) i had tears in my eyes. Didn´t really love the song before but seeing nate up there only a few meters away performing this song and feeling his pain in every word he said. It was insane. I have never felt so "close" to an artist while a concert. The atmosphere was just overwhelming for me
The worst feeling is when seeing your mom cry because a family member kill themself and not being able to help and also remembering that i also almost killed myself a few times and for the finisher is having no one to talk to and having to feeling that i should hate myself because even seeing my mom cry doesn't make me cry😞
I like watching reactions, especially to NF. Out of hundreds of reactions I’ve seen, your the top reaction that I’ve watched. I’m definitely going to check out more of your videos.
It’s definitely a relatable song being someone who struggles daily with these same feelings mentally and emotionally once again as always phenomenal reaction and breakdown my guy much love and respect ✊ #KHillion4Life
Aleta Greek It makes you cry even if you can’t relate to it, a song has to be DEEP to do that, and his is, I haven’t seen a reaction video to that one where the people weren’t tearing up or crying
Please review grandpa used to carry a flask by delusional thomas. That is mac millers alter-ego. It's a short album you could review all of it if you wanted 💯 your the best music reviewer on RU-vid 💯💯
The kid you hear in the last verse is younger nate. He's talking to himself. I wish I could help you, aka his younger self and his trauma, but he can't because he hates himself and believes that he doesn't deserve the peace that comes with dealing with your trauma. I wish I could help myself but I know I dont deserve it. Thats why you hear a kid playing in the background. At least thats my take away.
Love this song... it's so deep, especially for those of us who can relate to it. Went through a really hard time in the last couple of years. Listening to Nate has helped keep my head straight and away from the suicidal thoughts that plague my mind constantly
Yooo Knox my guy I was casually watching TheRealKenzo and I got to his outro and I was like, I recognize that voice! And sure I look and the description and there you are
The line “ I ask for love, but when I get it I just pass it up” it’s really hard for me man, not because I feel like I don’t deserve it but I’ve seen so many people around me get hurt because of love including my mom and sister, that I just I’m scared of it I want it but when I get it I just ruin it myself because I’m scared of getting hurt..
I get that really do but its a apart of growing and life without sadness you simply..... aren't alive you'll get over it sometime I haven't yet but you sure will and i will to it takes time
I would love to see you react to some Rittz tracks. Lots of really good songs. Bounce, Different Breed, Dork Rap, I’m Only Human, LAF, or Crown Royal just a few of his tracks. He has some of the best cadences and flow/delivery patterns I’ve ever heard. He’s just unique. Check him out.
Wow...lot of comments. Hope you see this. I would like to have you react to & breakdown "Untitled" by Em. I don't usually request Eminem songs because so many others flood you with them, but to see you breakdown the ones he loses his mind on are just so fun I can't resist this one request. Disclaimer upfront (good for everyone in quarantine w/time on their hands): this will be a longer than usual video...but worth it. Better pull up the lyric vid if you do it.
