Taking the Journey! NF - Intro III - REACTION  

if you go in order, you will basically be taken on a story through his life. You can see the progression of his peak depression turn to become a little more upbeat and happy. It gives NF more of a personal connection if you go through it in order

I really, really hope you guys listen to this. Got something really important to say! You voted and I listened. The majority wanted me to go ahead and share this now, even though I have several other NF videos to react to, that precede this one. They are coming. I promise. I'm taking the journey. May just do an Intro III follow up video, once I'm done with them all. We shall see. Interestingly enough a lot of this still made sense over the course of the song and I'll be sharing more thoughts as I take the journey. Stay tuned. Stay real!

NF's "How could you leave us" will wreck you, it did me. It is especially powerful if you have anyone close to you that has struggled with substance abuse.

I shouldn't be laughing but when you said "screw you guys" I lost it lol. I love your reaction you are amazing and don't apologize about the tears. We all get it, that's what is amazing about him. He kills us but he helps us is soooo many ways! 🖤💚

Great reaction, "How Could You Leave Us" will be though one, gets me everytime. Johnny was his mothers boyfriend who physically abused him, he also talks about that in "Mansion".

Yeah I recommend “story” it’s literally like a mini movie and NF did such a great job putting it together! You’d love it!!

You got it. It's his fear. Probably my favorite song ever recorded. Who else does something like this? The absolute mix of emotions you portrayed during the song was so interesting to observe. Haha God bless. 🔥❤️

You Hit the nail on head first time listening. This song is about him barying his Fear. Fear is talking to Nate in the beginning and then Nates talking at the end. He tells ya in Outro which came out before this that he's gonna bury fear but they'll get that in a minute... Great reactions

Watching a fellow empath react to NF is oddly therapeutic. Thank you! Keep it up.

We should all donate $20,000 to Rosalie’s channel so she can just do 100% NF all day for us! Thanks for another banger Rosalie. I can’t get enough.

I'm late to the game but I've loved watching your nf journey and all I have to say is, never edit your tears out. Don't take away that realness.

Bless your heart 💜 “How Could You Leave Us” is definitely gonna rip you apart….. Great reaction 💯

NF is amazing, would love to see him perform live someday….

Rykker Road just recently finished the NF Journey. For anyone who’s interested they’re super fun to watch!

intro II will allow you to see the mansion for the first time.. im super excited to see you go on the journey.. i will say.. im sure it will affect you in profound ways.. this journey is very good for self building and conversations even with yourself.. much love always #LoveOverEverything

Great reaction! Can't wait till you get to "how could you leave us"

The very last sentence always hit hard

I always cry like that listening to his songs, I'm glad I'm not the only one ❤

Wow! I wasn't expecting that reaction! I felt you, we have all been there, Who am I kidding, I am still there. This one still gets to me. That's why we love NF. We are a community of folks who "gets it". Here we don't have to be afraid to bear our wounds. We don't have to pretend to have it all together. It's a safe place. Thanks for going through "the journey" with us. 😍

You are SOOOOO good at this. The technical stuff will get worked out over time. It's your personality and intellect that makes you a pleasure to watch. Thanks for sharing your perspective and knowledge. Seeing your honest heartfelt reaction reminds me the power of music, the power of NF's music, the power of thinking about music, etc. Try doing one of these songs that won't make you cry, but you will still feel the NF energy - The Search, Intro, Intro 2, Real, Why, Outcast, Clouds to name a few. God bless and keep on keepin on.

I just want to say I really appreciate you taking the time to react with real emotions. That helps me feel ok in expressing my emotions too!

Great reaction! You should check out 'Nate'! Its him talking to his younger self. Amazing track that i think will hit you.

I’ve been on my NF journey for years but I love love love watching people listen to him and just seeing the recognition he deserves. such a talented guy but I do recommend listening to his stuff in order of albums to really see the full picture of his life & to understand when he quotes older songs in newer songs

Mind explosion #NFREALMUSIC 🔥 Such a great reaction!!👏👏

I’m glad she’s enjoying the music and showing off a great vibe 🔥

Love love how you read the lyrics after to understand the song better! As so many have said about him and how ALL his music is intertwined and how he grows from album to album. You will go nuts when you hear “just like you” off his latest album clouds the mixtape.

“If you want love” and “why would you leave us” are some heartbreakers but genius of NFs if u want more emotion

WHY is a great song by NF that explains a lot about his inner conflict between his head and his heart... first in a trilogy with The Search leading into Leave Me Alone... after these 3 songs you will be a mess... then let the NF journey begin!!! ;)

oh yeah his Delivery is craaaazy........you can hear his Heart ........his little Inflections and switch-ups :)

Never be ashamed of showing just how deeply you are moved by Nate's music. His music has made all of us cry, between one song or another. I'm a 46 year old guy, and NF has had me be a sobbing mess before. But he does it in such a way that every single time it is cathartic, because he always finds the way to let us know that we are not alone. Subscribing after i post this comment for the simple fact of how genuine you are my dear. Hope you have a great day and take care of yourself.

Next one I’m excited to watch is “Why” based on your insight to Intro 3!

You get so excited when you figure things out it’s so nice to see. I’ve watched many nf reactions but yours is really cool to watch cause you really dive into the lyrics. Can’t wait for the rest of the journey. Brings tissues for how could you leave us, that one is gonna get ya! Love from Brasil 🇧🇷❤️

Every single one of these songs go so deep! He often has double meanings, and from what I've seen they all connect to each other. He'll reference other songs and things he mentioned in those songs throughout different ones. It's so cool when you start connecting all the dots!!

i have followed him since day one! hes my all time fav been watching you since your first reaction love them so far

Nate is another good deep song by him. one of my favorites.

Music that can move you.❤

Loved the reaction thank you 😃

It's always great finding a new person hearing NF tracks for the first time. I've said it other times on pages, but we can never hear the songs again for the first time, so reactions kind of bring that initial perspective back. Also, I really like that you only reflect minimally during the song, and then come through more in depth, covering beginning to end following the listen.

Yes how could you leave us hits everyone. Just like your cup says enjoy life, much love to all. Nf always hits you hard and you can feel his emotions 100 percent. God bless. Love the channel. Thank you.

Every song from NF is deeply personal or profound either way beautifully composed and REAL

Great reaction -- I'm looking forward to more #nfrealmusic! Also, I caught your Andy Mineo reference ("I Ain't Done"!) -- I love Andy Mineo (and the whole 116 crew), so some Andy Mineo on here would be great. (Have you heard his track "Clarity"?!?). Thanks again! 🙂

Oh man, absolutely great reaction thank you!!! Messages in all his music, here's a few more Wake up How could you leave us Let you down

Nf connects and makes reference to his past work constantly. I heard this time that he makes reference to ‘no name.’

I've kept my word. I have subscribed. Love you bless you. You tc ✌

His concerts are really something to see. If you ever get a chance to see him live it is definitely an experience. When I have those days of doubt I call it a staff meeting.

Yep he hits different!!!

You explain everything very well. Great job.

you are the very first person i see being real on internet, that show all your amotion palette: admiration, happines and vulnerability also and empathy too. its pretty warm. that it feels like you are a real person for wierd that it could sound, you know "se perfecto por fuera" or "no muestres tu vulnerabilidad o el mundo te devorara".

I like to see you enjoy his music, he deserve all his got

I believe Johnny is his step dad but he's never released the song as far as I know.

The "NF Journey" was mostly started for people to watch the video of "Outro" and completely understand it's appeal, as you can't truly appreciate "Outro" without watching several other videos first. It has expanded since then, but just understand that the journey doesn't HAVE to be completely in order, and I think there's several songs on the journey that are not even completely necessary, but it's alright. Just understand that if a song isn't on the journey, that doesn't mean it's bad. Some of my favorite NF songs are not on the journey. Just because a song is on the journey, that doesn't mean it's his best work. There's several songs on the journey that are not that great compared to other songs that are not on the journey. Don't think the journey is the be-all, end-all of NF. The journey just helps you understand a lot of the visuals in his music videos, it's not a list of his best songs.

Love the affirmations at the 21.40 minute mark. Rosalie doesn't only react, Rosalie is bringing the truth!

I subscribed for the NF journey! I did it in one day and bawled the whole time! Some happy tears tho because u hear his whole story! The tears were just!

My 2nd time listening to you. It could be a mansion I'm heaven possibly too.

He personifies emotions better than anyone I’ve ever heard. Great reaction! ❤

This is the best reaction to Intro 3. When it fully hits you at 7:24 what's happening in this song is the most relatable thing. This battle with "fear" or the voices in your head is what many of us go through 24/7. Glad to see this song hits this hard for more people than just me. I listen to this song almost every day to try and win the battle in my head. Great reaction. Thank you for this!

NF ( Remember This ) is one of the greatest music ever!!!!

also an imagery of the spiritual realm, he was a slave to sin. When I listen to NF I hear a testimony.

Tell me ur a empath without tellin me ur a empath (😭😭😭 ) trust we get it 🔥🔥🔥

I really enjoy your reactions. You are so genuinely empathetic and it is so beautiful. Thank you so much for sharing

I think one of the biggest meaning behind this song for me is that I battle with my trauma every single day, and wish I could just heal but what if I did heal, then would I really still be me? It’s a part of me, a very dark part of me that I would give anything to not have….but without it I wouldn’t be complete

I'm glad you are following this young man! You are perfect! This man will bring out the inner demons in every person and make you face them! "Remember This". Please react 💯 FACTS

When you mention world music and then Russia, my first thought is Ya Soshla S Uma 😅 Fantastic, visceral reaction. NF’s journey is such a rewarding ride. “Story” probably won’t be until much later but I’m looking forward to that one almost as much as How Could You Leave Us.

Rosalie, your empathy is inspiring and beautiful. The way you’re able to navigate these complex emotions in the song empathetically AND still maintain your own mind and thoughts to break it down, analyze, and appreciate the emotion and the craft of it all-that’s a gift. You seem like the kinda person with a tight circle who loves deeply each person in that circle in profoundly unique ways. I believe that’s your gift of empathy. Love your reactions and I’m always here for the next one. I’m just glad to see it seems you take mental breaks. That and your family are what’s important. We can wait :)

Awesome! I'll take the journey with you. Let's do it friend.

Love your reactions, pure awesomeness. So authentic and real, which is a very rare trait to have now days, thank you for that. Let Me Go is a good song in my opinion, I think it's like how he perceives himself and things he wants to change. Well, that's how I interpret the song and I could be totally wrong. Respect and Love from Townsend Tennessee.

Dang it Rosalie ! You got me talking about things I tell nobody. You are truly unique.🙂

hella crazy how he connects everything in his MV's its like the NF Universe :D

The instrumentation, the emotion in his voice, the lyrics, the honesty, and the connectedness of his lyrics is truly unmatched by any artist I've ever known besides 5. I've seen all this stuff in different artists but rarely all this stuff in one person. I'm so annoyed at myself for never checking him out sooner, but I'm glad I found your channel so at least I'm having the oppertunity too. When I heard Mansion, I thought the thing you called fear wasn't just fear, maybe Fear is also the person who abused him... or the ghost/memory of that person. Its generational trauma that you mentioned. A song that kind of addresses generational family trauma is Family Line by Conan Gray. Another artist I think you would love is Evanescence. Well said... the thing about people being effected differently because good music is subjectiv. Same thing with beauty, same thing with good anything whether it's speech, color, clothing, looks, etc. Anything that involves comparison is subjective. For anyone who takes the time to read this comment, I want to let you know that just because you or other people around you think you're ugly... there will be someone who thinks that you are the most gorgious/beautiful/handsome person to ever exist. How do I know this"... none of my family members can agrree on who is the best looking. Also, Me and my siblings don't understand why so much people think these extremely successful artists are hot. So take that as you will. I think I'll go dig into Nf distography on my own then come back and watch your reaction. Patiently antisipating the next and take your time with the videos. You need to take care of yourself first enorder to make these videos the best they can be by you enjoying what you do... with minimal stress, and as authentic as possible.

Great reaction! BTW SNOWFLAKES ARE BEAUTIFUL!

Johnny is the first room in Mansion.

Really great reaction. You have amazing insights. If you want to maximize your NF Journey then it's helpful to watch the videos in order. He weaves a narritive using symbolism that builds on itself and often references things from other songs/videos. It tells a more complete story. Knowing the story behind some of the songs helps as well

i cant wait for OUTCAST thats one of my fav's ............ :)

Definitely tough when we go through stuff and it holds us back in life and nobody understands

He's finally burying Fear.

A lot of NF fans harp on going in order but to be honest with you I didn't go in order I started with the search album and he quickly became my favorite artist to me the order is not that important really enjoy your reactions you've got a unique perspective and a great personality so keep up the good work 💯

You are AWESOME‼️

New fan for you 😊 I’m here for your NF journey ., get ready for the emotional ride

Wow, you guys, this is by far the best reaction

Great reactions!! So glad to hear you're taking the Journey. Buckle up and experience what unfolds in the form of a lyricist and musician. It's amazing. As a major of psychology in criminal justice, this artist is extremely talented and utilizing his platform to speak about mental health, daily life, therapy, internal thoughts, etc. to millions of viewers and listeners we've all had. Long story short, you'll appreciate the roller coaster of the NF Journey from an artistic point o f view as well as a woman of psychology. All of his music is "real", intense, and connects with people.

I cannot wait to see more NF reactions from you! Great videos, keep it up!

I've followed nf through his journey, because his music has helped me through the hardest times of my life.

You're doing an incredible job! Thank you for your reactions, and for being so real, not editing the tears out. I'm not a rap fan, as far as my list of favorite genres...but, NF is among my favorite artists, and I'm excited for you to finally reach my favorites from him! "The Search" was my introduction to NF, and I haven't been let down by anything since!

I CANT GET THROUGH ONE OF YOUR VIDEOS WITH OUT JUST STOPPING AND SAYING SOMETHING… this is REAL and RAW! 🙏🏼🙏🏼 Keep them coming, Please!

Brilliant reaction, Rosalie! You got the fear reference spot on! Some reactors don't get it til the very end.

this song is about burying fear

I also love the way he raps, but also the music videos and production of them are like short movies which he even mentions in later songs. I love high contrast art styles which I'd say NF falls into with the sound going from quieter to louder or whisper to more passionate. I never thought I'd really get a tattoo based off a music artist but I did one for myself of a cart hanging from balloons which is more heavily symbolism from The Search as it was my song that got me through a couple really really hard nights. His music I think hits everyone no matter what you're relating it to although it can be very triggering. -Dev (They/ Them)

I love you too ♥️♥️♥️

Glad you had a chance to check it out! Great reaction.

When I think about this arc, from Intro 1, Intro 2, to this one, with other tracks helping to weave this narrative for fear, spanning multiple albums, it amazes me that all of this must have been preconceived before Intro 1. He new this track was coming!

Please more NF!!!

Nf is absolutely amazing. So many powerful songs so many powerful messages. Very emotional and raw. The song he wrote for his mom dying is very strong. Have some tissues ready for that one. Also I suggest watching the music video of "STORY". It shows a different side of him. Less personal emotion and more of his ability to tell...well a story lol it's incredible

Really looking forward to this.. ;)

He finally buried his fear in this song

Good morning, I am a new subscriber to your channel and I must say I'm drawn in by your psychological breakdown of his videos. This song backs up everything true about this statement I've lived by for years. Fear sometimes makes us take a step back when we should've taken a step forward.

Another great one I like NF the way he just lets you in and see the good the bad and everything in between he doesnt hold back anything then he has actual talent in what he does so his work is really cool to get into even if you arent usually into the style if you really listen it will make sense as always your doing great dont stop now lol.I knew you were going to feel this he has a way of making people see what goes on in his mind and the pure depression and fear of whats next it can be a scarey thing to see as well. what is the old say there but for the grace of God go I .

Welcome ✊🗝️

He’s talking about his fear and since the fear is a part of him he’s essentially talking to himself

I just want to say I really enjoy how in depth you get with reacting and trying to figure out what’s going on in his music compared to all the other reactors that don’t know music or don’t get what he’s trying to say so I thank you a lot for getting in depth with it I would also like to say his music hits home hard with me my mom is strung out on drugs and I’ve watched my parents fight real bad growing up his music has also saved my life I’m a recovering failed suicide attempt patient I’ve been 2 years of no cutting or thoughts so I thank you alot for what you’re doing much love and respect to you❤️💯🤟🏼

This is the best intro 😉🔥
