NF - Hope Reactionalysis - Music Teacher Analyses Hope by NF 

Please don't let RU-vid's aggression stop you from continuing! So glad you're back in on NF, we've missed a lot and have work to do. I think Mansion is not musically tied, but the message is that he's trying to move on and have Hope but his past is trying to drag him back to the sadness that was Mansion. If you recall, Mansion was personification of his sadness and his mind in depression, and he's trying to leave. Intro 3 was him killing Fear, and Fear (wearing a black hoodie, as opposed to his white that he is wearing in this new song) is pushing him back into Mansion.

Such brilliant analysis. Thank you for making my addiction to NF Reaction videos also educational. I learned a lot. Subbed hoping you will do some more musings on NF. Loved it.

I was waiting for this!!!! ❤❤❤ I am leaving his journey list for any new potential fans❤ 🎶 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 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) 2. Intro (VIDEO) (connects to Outro) 3. Mansion- *will connect to Intro 3. Fear moved in. Also connects to paid my dues. Anger lives in basement* Lastly it connects to Hope single 4.

Motto-(video) connects to when i grow up (same fan sipping drink) no name, happy, and why singles. Also there is many good songs not on this list like Dreams and you’re special etc. At some point take the time and go back through and listen to them all at some point. 🖤

Nice catch that this is an Intro. LIterally. All NF albums have an Intro, however after Perception NF said he quit calling them Intros (my guess is the name Intro didn't really explain the song very well and it give it less of a chance to gain traction except with the hardcore NF fans). Still all of the Intros have the same characteristics. It would be an interesting study to have you go through them and analyze for just the ways NF has tied musically all of his Intros together. The Search and Clouds and Hope all follow the same patterns/elements/style as the first 3 Intros. I can see 5 similarities that are unique that all Intros have. Just to give you context, I will share the first. None of the Intros have a chorus.

I miss your nf reaction, i know it didn't get as much views as before, but whenever you did it, i will watch it

Great to see you back doing NF and being so insightful as usual!! Tommee Profitt has a video on his channel about how he made Hope, I think you might enjoy it.

Ahhhhhhh my friend!!!!! I have sooooo missed you!!! This noti made me smile!!!! As disappointed as I am about YT messing with your attempts to upload this … I am just so Happy to get this reactionalysis from you whatever form it takes!!! You always find a way to explain the music I’m feeling but can’t put into words!!! And you totally blew my mind with this one!!! As if I even needed another reason to love this masterpiece from Nate, your interpretations - from the intentional tone of the music to “Why did it not resolve into Mansion there” to your interpretations of the “Having Kids” verse (which BRAVO 👏 btw 😂) !!!! And I cannot tell you how much I loved the dramatic beginning!!! 🤣 THANK YOU SO MUCH for listening to this one and sharing with us!!!!! I really don’t understand why you had problems … I can tell you I’ve watched 100’s (yes 🤷‍♀️ 100’s 🤣) and no one else has mentioned any issues!! Why is YT picking on you??? I need answers because this album is going to be AMAZING and we need you here!!!!! 🖤🤍🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥 *EDIT* - HAD to edit to add one more … “There are relations, just know that they’re there” … I have never Trusted anything more!!! 😎😂

I'm so glad you're back!!! I LOVE your reactions! Can't wait for more

Been waiting for this letssss gooo!!!!!

I can't believe this has been up for 8 days and I only just saw it!! 😳 I did get a puppy 8 days ago so life has been crazy 😂 great reaction as always, this was a nice surprise! As always, you make connections from 1 watch that I didn't notice in 300+ 😂 I'm sad RU-vid came after you but thank you for uploading again!!

His old doubts/fears/burdens kept trying to lead him in the wrong direction/confuse him, but the thoughts of his son give him Hope and enable him to fights those negative thoughts that hold him back. So glad you were able to get this posted-Love your vids!!

Bro I’m so glad I get to see you react to Hope. I can’t wait to hear your reaction to MOTTO

I learned a new word: dissonance. AND WHHHAAATTTTTT!!!! YOU’RE BACK???!?!???? Missed your NF reactions. I got so excited to see the notification

Best analysis on RU-vid, thank you!

I’m so happy you are doing this

Great analysis!

So glad you are back in NF !! Missed your reactions and teaching!! Suggestion play the entire song but pause more often to keep from getting zapped !!

I saw some of the same facial expressions that you had when you first heard NF in the first video. I felt the same way as I listened to his song the first time. I think I have listened to it 100 times over the last week. Thank you for your analysis!

so glad to see this, i've miss you man

Please please do the whole album. Love the reaction, happy to see you 🤓

Tommee Profitt did a making of video for this that you would enjoy even if you just did that on your own. The more you stop the less likely you are to be blocked without having to skip parts :) My OCD doesn't handle skips very well. Pause all the times because your chords and breakdowns are great!!!!

Ok ngl, was waiting (hoping) you’d see this and you didn’t disappoint Mike! Amazing breakdown, to NF’s banger where he’s come full circle! THX’s ✌️♥️ 2U & Family Fyi… even if not a reaction I’d urge you to check out - NF'S PRODUCER REVEALS HOW HE MADE "HOPE“ on Tommee Profitt’s channel

A couple of things My definition of success/ is from WHY Mansion, therapy session, perception, clouds, and the search are all represented here. 23:31

Wow,... getting another angle of what NF might be doing with this just from having you explain the music parts. He finds himself and the "light" on the island ...is making him uncomfortable 😬 just as the music cues you to also feel it. There is also the fact that it changed to him building up the ability to confront that discomfort and not only face himself but fight the "hell" out of himself. It's so obvious now. Can't tell you how many times I've listened and watched this to pick up more clues. This whole thing is an absolute masterpiece 😭

I hate that you had to chop it up. I’m sorry. I’m still glad you posted it! I love your analysis!

If you covered the video entirely the audio wouldn't have to be snipped, just letting you know for future reference

You're the FIRST reactor that I've heard got blocked, and I've probably watched 50 reactions.

My favourite reactor 🎉

Super! Brain burst! 💖💙💛

Welcome back MTR!! Where's spacebar!?

You have to do a reaction to Tommee’s 5 minute video on how he made Hope. Would love to see your reaction to that!

Tommee Profit made a three part video series on how he made this song on his RU-vid.

I took the dissonance to be the underlying anxiety of him being hopeful since it's a change for him. Same with the horror string sound.

You're late for the Ren train, please do an analysis on Hi Ren and then some 🤩

I think you might have it backwards? Uncomfortable was his comfortable place. Now he’s moving into uncharted territory. He’s moving into Hope. His old self pushed him back into the mansion aka his mind.

Why do some RU-vidrs have to censor their reactions, and others don't? Great reaction as always, I just don't think it makes any sense that some reactors get censored and others don't. Seems to be no rhyme or reason. Pun intended.

Leave the teacher alone RU-vid!!! Let the teacher teach RU-vid!!!

Please do Tommee Profiitt- Sound of War! You'll love it!!!!!

i'm stiil waiting React Clouds MIXTAPE...!!!

Check out Hi Ren

So everyone can upload the whole video, you cant...
