Great and Real reaction, Nate would be proud. Everyone will suggest "How Could You Leave Us" next but I will assure you, it will wreck you. If you intend to do that, proceed with caution but know that is another essential track to fully understand Nate. I would actually suggest Therapy Session or Intro 2 next. Btw, the last section of this song will be revisited in Intro 3 so I would suggest listening to this again prior to reacting to that one. The female singer on this track is Fleurie.
Remember back when Mom picked us up from Grandma's house? And she hid her boyfriend in the trunk and drove a couple miles? Down the street, and then she pulled over to let him out 'Cause she ain't want Dad to know she had these type of dudes around
Thank you Jessica! This song hit me like a brick wall and really hit some pain points for me. Coincidentally NF and I share a similar backstory. What a song!
You could literally listed to every song on every album from mansion through the 4 albums he's done and find not a bad song in the bunch. His songs and albums intertwine with one another. He throws Easter eggs into his newer songs for his older fans who know his older stuff and catch what he's referencing. You won't be disappointed I promise. He never cusses either. Also his mother died of drug overdose and it's the root of his pain. He's so so emotionally aware. I'm mansion he personifies the emotion Fear.. he picked a room and settled in.. he personifies lots of emotions in other songs. It's crazy awesome how he does it. Enjoy the ride man
Loved the reaction and if you want to know about his mom you have to do: how could you leave us. But be prepared if you cried during this song then how could you leave us will tear you down . It’s the saddest song I’ve ever heard especially if you relate . But it’s a must hear .
“How could you leave us” will cover the part about his mom. “Nate” is another good one, going back and talking to his younger self. I really loved this reaction, lose it if you must, NF has touched a lot of us.
NF’s amazing talent is putting his life story , struggles and burdens into words. He seems to obsess over every one of those words , and expresses his thoughts and emotions perfectly. For anyone who can relate , like yourself (sorry to hear about your mom and other painful experiences) , it’ll seem like NF is speaking to you directly , or speaking your words for you.
So true. It really feels like he and I have very similar backgrounds. The Mansion metaphor spoke to me so much and I've been in the rooms he talks about. Just shredded me to bits. What an amazing tune!
the room with regrets i think is like when you go to sleep and you cant because your mind starts reminding you of all the things you regret and you overthink it and cant sleep and it gets rough
I don't think that he sleeps in the room that's housing his regrets as much as the regrets are filling his bedroom. You know how you stay up at night, unable to sleep, thinking about your regrets? I believe he's saying that those manifest and build-up, and he's unable to take them out of his bedroom,. So his bedroom... 'is just full of regrets and it keeps getting deeper it seems.'
Oh, I'm so sorry for what your Mom is going through, and any pain this song brought to you. But, I've found NF's songs & lyrics are more cathartic than painful. Another soul (and, talented one!) who can speak to so much of our common experiences. Beautiful reaction. Peace & take care.
Thank you so much. It was cathartic and it took me on a serious rollercoaster, that I wasn't ready for. Random side note, my mothers name is Therese! It's not a name you see very often but I saw your username! Small world :)
@@MetalGuyReacts Oh how sweet. I haven't met many other "Therese's" in my life. Tell your mom there is another "Soul-Sister Therese" out there sending prayers & wishes for her happiness, health & recovery.
The way your whole posture changed after the line “losing my mom” - you really went inside your own head, we can see you really felt that. Enjoy the time you have with your parents people, we don’t have them forever.. make time for them 💕
1000% love sent to you for that intro and putting it out there why this song hit you. I think that’s what he’s all about. Like, “you been through some shit? Me too.” Him writing with so many metaphors just makes it more accessible to EVERYONE and ANYONE. If you haven’t “been through some shit” in your life, you’re most likely a shitty, shitty person.
In one of his songs, he talks about going to shows and everyone says he knows them, because he's real! He talks about what a lot of us have been through. Your reaction proves this, he knows us.
Love your reactions! Yes it’s true, that “How could you leave us”, will break down even the strongest of men. So I recommend doing a heavy banger first like the song “Real”.
Thank you for the recommendations! I will have to give myself a couple days before diving back into the real serious stuff. I'll start with Real :) Thanks again Greg!
I have been abused for 12 years I'm fourteen and all it still happens mentally and physically but I fight yes I'm still scared I lost my mom when I was 2 and my dad left no one wanted me so I was sent to 3 foster places I'm in my fourth and nothing is changing. So this song really hits hard love.your reaction keep up you amazing work❤️❤️❤️ You got a new subscriber 😊
Love the way you actually listen to the music. Love the sincerity. Bro don't ever feel like you should apologize for being genuine. This is the first time I've seen your channel , and I'm glad I found it..I definitely subscribed
Thank you for showing those reactions Jeff! I cry all the time with his songs. They have made me get through so much in my life. NF does speak to me right to my needs or fears or regrets. Ugh I love NF and thank you for the reaction!
I really appreciate your openness and honesty in regards to your past. But I'm glad you're in the process of your NF journey. His music has really saved my life and puts my emotions into words like few artists ever could. So I hope you find this journey at least a little bit as enlightening as I did. Loved your reaction. My first time here, but you have a new subscriber!
This was a great, Raw, honest reaction and you have nothing to apologize for. NF WAS talking directly to you and to himself and to me and many of us out here that needs someone who can articulate and has a voice for how we feel. I’m very sorry about your mom. I know this reaction was awhile ago but it still counts because I mean it. I’m a survivor of childhood abuse and as an adult I battled breast cancer. There are also worse things that I don’t speak of but it’s ok because there are people like NF who can be my voice. Excellent content. I enjoyed someone truly feeling what they reacted to.
Thank you so much Katherine. I was completely unprepared for this song. I almost didn't post this video but I decided to keep things honest on my channel and raw. I'll be reacting to more NF soon but I needed a bit of time, that was a lot lol.
@@MetalGuyReacts It takes a lot of courage to share this with people you have never met; way to go! I'm so excited that you'll be checking out more NF, and I completely understand the need for a break. A lot of people have to step away from video-making a bit to reflect on their lives, think about things, and regroup after Mansion (and How Could You Leave Us); you're not alone.
I went through the same thing on first listen. Hit after hit straight through the chest. Still, the hardest I've been hit by a song to date. It's been 5 years. It's wild to hear your own thoughts spoken back to you in eerily consecutive fashion. We all seek connection, within that we must also uphold our values. Nothing is worth losing yourself over. Patience. Compassion. Communication. Empathy. Mutual Respect. Autonomy. Passion. Hope you're well!!
Literally how I reacted when I first heard this song. I was also abused by my step father and then my mom died from a pill overdose. Watching you was like reliving my first reaction to this.
Dig into how could you leave us. That's a tear jerker. And it will help you realize what he goes through on a day to day basis. It deals with his mom. You kept it together through this reaction better than most. Especially under your circumstances
Hey Bro, first thing I want to do is give you my condolences, thoughts and prayers out for you man. On another note. Absolutely awesome video man. I've been a NF fan since his Therapy Session album came out, and I'm always looking for reactions that are real genuine and my guy, I found it here. I think another song you'll get a kick out of would be Intro lll. It connects to this song (Mansion) and it blew my mind when I heard it. Again awesome video man, keep up the good work.
You don't have to apologise for losing it, I think the song is too heavy even for someone who didn't get through some of the mentioned stuff 🙈 Great reaction as usual 👍❤
Thank you Heba. I debated even posting it. I don't normally share that type of stuff but I want to remain as real as I can on this channel. It really opened me up, great song!
@@MetalGuyReacts your welcome nf really is the only rapper I listen to because he writes such meaningful lyrics that relate to you on a personal level the more songs you listen to the more you will like like his music btw sorry about your mom hope she does better.
Lovin it bro. This song wrecked my entire conscience paradigm. Or at least exposed it and brought attention to its weaknesses. It only gets better from here man.
I would give anything to hug you, brother. Keep your head high and keep strutting. This song made you feel something but only because it had the power to keep you moving.
This really seems like it will either bring up a lot more feelings for you or do so in a way where you can get some shit off your chest that's been weighing you down in the background. I'm a fellow metal head so I don't know a lot about rap either, but this guy is one hell of an artist
Good reaction my friend. Appreciate the openness about your past - NFs music is about real stuff so hopefully this helps many people, including yourself. Life isn’t always fun or fair - keep overcoming my friend! 💪🏻 God bless.
I wish you would hear lost in the moment by NF 😭 that’s the one that got me. NF is honestly what keeps me alive, I feel like he, even tho he writes things in a deep way, when you hear it it actually, it’s actually like how just how we live. I feel like what he does and I just feel like his songs hit different I can’t even explain it
Hey Man, I just discovered your channel recently and I can definitely say that this song still hits hard even now. I lost my mom when I was 14 to cancer so this track really hit home for me. That's the beautiful thing about music, it allows you to be yourself and to let go. Hang in there dude. ❤Much love.
Soemtimes we stumble upon songs with just the right timing huh. Also I really appreciate he takes the responsibility in these lyrics for his emotional struggles and reflecting without blaming anyone else. Pretty mature. And its very relatable. I didn't know this song before I will check out more from him in the future.👌
The whole NF story is an amazing journey such a genius in wordplay and keeping it real , keep going he's a truly amazing artist that's been through hell and back and now he's telling his story
You've got a real kevin smith vibe about yourself.... its really good. Hats of to you for showing your emotions... keep making vids your doing a great job. Hope your mum gets well soon ✌🏼
That last rap about fear got me cause I was verbally abused and now I'm facing depression for the past 9 years. Fear has been one of the major points why I'm here. So it's okay to cry cause I did. And if you want to know about his mom, How Could You Leave Us would be the song. But I suggest that you take the nf journey. Which means listen to all his songs in order. You will definitely feel like you're reading Nate's journal.
I lost my mom on Mother’s Day back in 2007 to an automobile accident. I have listened to every track multiple times except How Could You Leave Us. I’m still not emotionally prepared for that.
New sub for NF. His music takes you on a journey. You may not relate to every song, but everyone eventually gets to a song that can sucker punch them. Most people that listen to NF also listen to Twenty One Pilots, so your channel will grow if you react to them as well.
Metal Guy Reacts songs from TOP that you may have hear are Car Radio, Heathens, or stressed out. From what I can tell you, RU-vid does block a lot of their songs for reactors so you do need to pause a lot, which we don’t mind!! Like NF, They do not have one bad song!
Bro i feel you. Nf has been putting me through a journey i never thought I'd take. Man I'm in my feels right with you. Been abused physically mentally and sexually myself as well. Ty for this.
I feel your pain, my amazing mom collapsed one day standing next to her with my baby and ended up having stage 4 Brain cancer and months to live at best. She passed away recently and it’s been hard. A room of regrets I have for sure.
Great reaction! I could tell when you started tearing up that something affected you personally, because you can tell watching someone's reaction when the music is hitting them on a deeper level then someone who hasn't experienced certain things. I'm sorry for what you've suffered in life. Nate is a phenomenal rapper and master lyricist. You should seriously listen to all of his albums, there is not one song that you won't enjoy for relate to in some way. Also touching on the subject of his mother, you should check out the song "how could you leave us" which speaks about that issue. I'm sure you got in a lot of comments already telling you these things! I just wanted to let you know that I enjoyed your reaction & I could tell it was real..and that something affected you and that's the best type of reaction! ❤ Another amazing thing about NF's music is that all of his songs kind of intertwine and connect. So if you start off listening to a song from his last album "the search", you might get a little confused if you haven't heard his earlier music. It's basically like he's taking us on a journey through his life and his mind..so you'll only be able to fully understand understand why he wears the joker makeup and when he makes certain references to previous songs if you go back to the beginning. Just some advice if you like his songs! Each and every one of them has a message. He is a lyrical genius and his background music is so cinematic and he just seemed to ride the flow it's just amazing. I have been a long time fan of NF and I'm so happy that hes getting the recognition he deserves now. And this is coming from someone who loves all types of music, rock, metal ,hip hop, classical.. anything that speaks to me. OK rant over lol great reaction glad I found your video!!
Loved your reaction. Tread lightly with how could you leave us. Its something you have listen to to understand his story but may want to do it off camera. Great for views, very hard on the person reacting to it..... New sub
Everyone who gets his music has that moment. He talks to each of us on different songs. Sorry for what your mom and family are going through. My mom is a 3x breast cancer survivor so I feel qualified to say CANCER SUCKS!
His Mother passed away due to drug over dose...pills if i remember correctly but addiction is addiction it doesn't matter what the drug..Keep up the great work Nate.💜
It's beautiful how music can connect so many different people from different aspects of life. That's why I love music so much.. It is the language of the soul. I forgot to add this part to my comment below!😉
This is my recommended journey order, if others agree feel free to thumbs up or comment if they think I missed an important one. I didn't add any that he'd already reacted too. (You might want to go back and listen to Intro 1) Intro 2, Therapy Session, How Could You Leave Us, Real(Hype Song), Outro, Warmup(Hype Song), Intro 3, Outcast, No Name(Hype Song), Why, Leave Me Alone, Paid My Dues(Hype Song).
