Old NF: "Whats your definition of success? I don't trust this thing that beats inside my chest." New NF: "Whats my definition of success? Trusting what your heart says" Old NF: "I'm looking for the map to hope. You seen it?" New NF: finds the map to hope Old NF: hasn't forgiven his mom New NF: "This isn't a shot mamma. I've forgiven you". Truly a message of growth from NF. And these aren't even including the so many other parallels to his other albums. Love this song and I can't wait for the album drop on April 7th.
Think he said listening to what your heart says not necessarily trusting it. Might just be an arbitrary distinction. But as a Christian I'm not sure that change is actually a good thing. Considering that the heart is deceitful. Don't get me wrong I'm a huge nf fan, i love this song and I'm glad he seems to be doing better. But that particular line didn't sit completely right with me.
@@marcellosanchez7513 I think it depends on what the person who speaks about listening to the heart means. What it practically means in their life. For those who have struggled with the battle field of the mind, listening to one’s heart can he helpful. For example learning to be aware of one’s emotions and intentions. Listening to God who some would metaphorically say “lives inside the heart”. Being in tune with matters of the heart if you will. The verse that speaks of the heart being deceitful may be a helpful reminder to those who want to be controlled by their emotions. Who need to practice discernment and seek wisdom. But Proverbs 4:23 says - Above all else, guard your heart, for it is the wellspring of life. The wellspring of life. That’s profound too. I think it really depends on what we mean in context and how it applies in our day to day life.
A really powerful metaphor starts at 12:22 where NF listens to Nate (Black Hoodie NF) and follows the direction where he points and ends up back at the raft while Nate is laughing. What I get from it is when you listen to the part of you that identifies too much with your pain it will lead you in circles and waste your time so you are better off listening to your heart and following hope. I think it is a miracle to witness an artist connect with his fans on such a deep level and evolve to show the way forward, to lead his fans toward hope rather than pain. I personally haven't felt this kind of inspiration or hope from an artist before, I am just blown away.
Everything on this song is nostalgia, progression, character built and so much more. The ending of this song is crazy as you hear his inner demons trying there best to bring back the new hopeful nate down by having the smile re appear and the shirt turning black as his demons are talking, crazy back and forth really shows a window in what Nates mind has been like all these years, great reaction and like you can wait for his next album because this was an extremely strong start and as we know Nate, he never disappoints in pushing his bar above and beyond!
He’s also planting foreshadowing… the album release date, April 7, is Good Friday, the anchor point of the gospel. The payment for our sin and the hope of newness in Christ.
After watching about 4 (good) reactions, I was searching for someone that would actually go in depth and then I was like "I hope Rosalie posts her reaction today" and here it is 💃💃💃
@@IPUNCHMONKEYZ I love Knox hill 😂🖤 the way he breaks everything down and brings up elements in the song that I didn't even know was there is so refreshing
This is what I got out of this breaking point of his life. When the nate in black pushed back into the mansion. He threw him back there in hope he threw him back to his ROCK BOTTOM! But instead of running out he faced all his room's and Demons. His old self was hoping it would throw him out of his Positive Feeling of moving forward and making him stay with him . But instead he did face his rooms he opened them doors I didn't see him open his safe room door though that door he said in one song he never wants to he did overpower his old cell up on the cliff and Fight with his old self While his old self was trying to get back end to him with the black veins in his neck and the black collar and Fight with himself move on I think you want! Now's time to move on......
NF is easily my favorite artist of all time and after 2 years of long waiting he delivered and gave me absolute chills. Me and all my friends were freaking outtt

NF transcends music. I don’t know if there is another artist right now who can do what he does in any genre. I was in a bad mood when I woke up and than saw NF dropped a song and it changed my whole day. NF real music.
Ready for this one. NF says 30 years, 30 times he’s 31. Telling us the passed year has been pure growth! Also every time the demon NF comes out he looks away from the sun (away from the light). This dude is so creative! There so much to this song and video.
I glad to see I wasn’t the only one that flipped out hearing this! 😂 Loved the reaction. I think the Nate’s in the black was trying to point him in the wrong direction. That’s cause they sent him back to the “mansion” cause that’s where he was trapped before by fear. Which he buried in intro 3….so the Nate’s in Black I think resemble his setbacks (fear, burdens etc). Notice on the beach they pointed different directions but he ended up right back where he started(on the beach) and the Nate in black is sitting on the raft laughing at him. They don’t want him moving forward
What’s crazy is that when you get caught up on the journey later, you can come back to this and watch it again with even MORE things making even MORE sense. He’s a genius and this was absolutely brilliant. I love that you’re on this ride & get the depth that he’s taken us to. Thank you Rosalie for YOUR flavor and uniqueness in these reactions. It’s been awesome to hear you process and break things down. 🫶🏽🤍
This video was amazing! I love how he finally forgave his mom towards the end after having a child of his own!😭❤ This LITERALLY gave me chills AGAIN! 🔥🔥❤
I laughed. I cried. My jaw hit the floor. I jumped out of my seat. I'm sweating. Nate not only saved my life, he's also given me hope. What an epic journey to be a part of. He's a genius. I've probably watched it 10 times and I'm still speechless
"Masterpiece" is a perfect way to describe this video. NF is a weaver, and all the threads from the journey were woven into this amazing tapestry of "Hope". Love it!
He's a genius. I feel he plotted every album before releasing any of them. They all intwine. Allot of people may have missed it but he is walking around with a map. That's the map to hope he talked about in The Search. Get on that journey before the album drops or you're going to miss out on all the gems.
When he opens the door and sees himself in the cage as the person who he would've been if he chose not to maximize his potential is such a powerful concept. The whole idea of him being locked in a cage, which is his mind, while he holds the keys in his hands with the choice of surccumbing to defeat or choosing to rise above that and to overcome himself and his circumstances is an extraordinary picture which he paints perfectly. He truly is a genius.
I FREAKED OUT when I first listened to this and have freaked out every reaction I watch. Hope is a masterpiece and I'm so proud of Nate for how far he's grown!! He's finally taking the reins of his life and is choosing hope! As you get further into the journey and see how depressed and dark his life got at times, coming back to this song will make you so emotional and happy.
This man is unbelievable. You can break down literally every bar un this song to references in his other songs. Its beautiful. This is nate taking accountability from his struggles and growing from it. Just incredible
For a first watch, immediate reaction this is the best I’ve seen!!! Your pick ups without knowing the whole story is awesome. Watch it a couple more times!!! 😎
Before we even get into the song/video itself, can we just admire the journey he has taken us on? Through all these years, he's been able to just keep on surprising us. His delivery and message keeps changing, but at the core, it has always been the same and unchanged. Now let's get into the new stuff. I want to preface this by saying I've seen so many reaction videos already, but I have a lot of my own thoughts on it as well. Some of the things I say may sound like an echo, but I hope that I provide you with other ways to look at some of these things that I haven't seen anybody say yet. The first 32 seconds of the video, we hear a lot of little bits behind him singing. It's all of the darker sounds that were the base for his beats on his pervious albums. None of it lingers very long, but it's definitely there if you listen to it. Then, the suspense builds into what we're assuming is going to be this massive drop where he just goes off, but then it goes into a staccato piano without all the extra background like he's made us so comfortable with. Then, we see him in all white. I feel like this doesn't need a ton of explanation, but it's symbolizing his hope. Then he does his normal thing where we see him talking to himself, again, he's conditioned us for so long with this that we think nothing of it. Then he goes and changes it on us during the "my album" part. I don't think we've ever gotten a representation of what it's actually like in his head, just the pictures he paints for us. This rattled me so much because it is just so different, but someone still so par for NF. Not to mention that it plays directly into the continuation of the lyrics. Then at 1:32, he asks "what's the definition of success? listening to what your heart says". This is so minor, but so huge because before he talked about how "i don't trust the thing that beats inside of my chest". Now we see him holding the map. I've seen so many people talk about "it's the map to hope" that he's brought up in previous songs as well. But to me, it's not the map to hope. After two watches of the video, this is where my first big different thought is from what I've heard so far from others. He talks right before the 2:00 mark about these different meanings to success and not being someone that just goes with the grain. Then at 2:00, we see the "old Nate" dressed in black, pointing him where to go. To me, this is him showing us the very beginning of his journey. He's talking about success and the "dark Nate" is trying to control where his career is going and what he needs to do. This gets reaffirmed for me when he said "it's when someone said who ain't never had nothing ain't afraid to walk away from more profit 'cause they'd rather do something that they really love and take the pay cut". He is willing to not go Hollywood because he'd rather take the pay cut and be true to himself and share his story, his way. Then we get to 2:58 where the darker side wins and we start his musical journey with Mansion (1st Album), inside the mansion. But we don't just start there, he uses the music video transition like he did in Clouds (5th and most recent album). It's almost like he's spelling out how going through everything and giving us all this wonderful, relatable music, lead to a metamorphosis. He's owning it and before it takes back over, we get straight back into Hope (6th album, forthcoming). Then we see him in his room (state of mind) when he wrote The Search (4th album), then talks about how depending on your Perception (3rd album) the breakdown could either be a good or bad thing but it was the push he needed to go to Therapy {Session} (2nd album) and then we also see him from the Let You Down video from the Perception album. At 3:58, it goes black. In 1 minute, he was able to draw all of these connections for us between his entire musical career going back to 2015. Then he gets pulled out of the mansion because of his son. He's now free. We finally get to hear him say "mama i forgive you". I had to stop it here for a minute because I completely broke down. He's somehow created his own universe and has been taking us through it with him for 8 years and even if you hate it, he'll make you feel like your in it. Just so incredibly healing for all of us that have been there from the start, and it's not even our story. Take a minute and just sit in that lyric and be happy and proud of him for how far he's come. 4:26 "30 years of (HEY)". We see the dark side trying to come back and he shows us that with the black smile and black around the collar of his shirt. But if we listen to just the dark said it says "Hey, Nate wait" while he's just putting it all out there. All of these emotions and feelings he's been struggling with for 30 years, but he's owning it. And the more the dark side slips out, the more aggressive the Hope Nate gets letting the other Nate know that your time is over and I'm doing this. Then they have this whole battle. D = Dark Nate and H = Hope Nate D: You'll never evolve | H: I know I can change | D: We are not enough | H: We are not the same | D: You don't have the will | H: You don't have the faith | D: You'll never be loved, you'll never be safe, might as well give up | H: Not running away | D: You don't have the guts | H: You're the one afraid, I'm the one in charge I'm taking the - | D: NO | H: I'm taking the...Reins ^We finally see him being able to handle his thoughts. Not only is he a lyrical genius, he just pulled a Marvel on us and took us through all these Phases of his entire musical career and this song/video was like End Game where we've finally gotten out of another Phase. My predication is this album is going to be setting us up for the next Phase of Nate. This man is truly one of a kind and this song gave me such a relief and feeling of healing and it's not even my story to be had. I'd love for other to share their thoughts and point out everything I missed because I'm sure there's a ton.
I believe what you've said at the end there, but everything you've written down describes it all beautifully. Thank your for writing this, and what you've said should help other people who don't understand it all. He's truly a talented artist and thank you for describing it all! Have a good day!
Thank you so much for the very detailed and insightful breakdown of the song! I’d love yalls opinion, I’m new to the NF journey, so I might be completely off on the meaning of the 1st act because I’ve watched a lot of reactions to Hope and no one broke it down the way I heard it. So tell me if I’m off. By the very little I have observed, he seems to do a lot of talking then answering as if he is two people, or talking from two points of view, dark vs light, good vs evil, etc. He begins the song talking to Hope. He is telling Hope that he is coming. Then when the piano comes on staccato he says, “30 yrs you been….”, this whole section doesn’t seem to me like he is talking to himself, I think this is Hope answering. “I don’t want you to feel like a failure, I know this hurts”. Knowing his faith background, this could tie back to Christ who is Hope embodied saying, you’ve tried it your way, now let’s do this my way “It is time to give people something different. My album, my album….. HOPE”. I don’t know, I could be completely off here…but I’d love to know if this makes sense! Please let me know!
I watched the video as soon as I saw it and it BLEW. MY. MIND!!! I’ve been waiting all day for you to react and I’m absolutely blown away by Nate’s talent. I thought it would be impossible for him to top The Search, but I have been proven wrong by HOPE🤩😆🔥 I think Nate knew we all needed this song😏✨😎
@@rosalieelliottofficial That last part where he argued with himself and the dark side tried to take over him made me cry ngl. It reminded me of my own inner voices and thoughts, and I think everyone can relate to him in one way or another. I thank my friend for showing me Nate’s music, otherwise I might not have ever discovered his songs
@@emilysmith4213 fr. I saw that part and thought of Venom seeing the black take over as he was talking negative but it going away when hope fought back
@@thycactusking I thought the exact same thing! “Nate went Venom on us” And when I saw this song I thought about one lyric he wrote “let it fade, once it’s decimated, then you drop a song out of nowhere and all the fans embrace it, then the buzz will surface again it’s part of my operation” Nate is keeping true to that lyric, even now
Ahhhh I've been waiting for your reaction!! You have to finish the journey first, the album drops April 7th so try to dive in a little before then. I'M SO EXXXXCITEDDDD
Love your excitment! and this video is a masterpiece to the fans of NF. I feel someone hearing only this might not get it but I hope they go back and come on the journey with us should they see this as their first.
@@rosalieelliottofficial When you was explaining about peoples pain not being the only thing about them (Ren/NF etc) I literally just quoted you saying you better not make me cry Rosalie - the way you explain things with such empathy and respect hits me deep 🤍💜
@@emilysmith4213 I'm the same - its a moment when you know you are feeling what someone else felt right at the same point - I have so much respect for Rosalie and her passion and integrity - 💛💚🧡
I can't begin to express how much I appreciate you for going to the lengths you do to really break down and understand not just a song, but the artist as well. Thank you, and I hope to see content from you for years to come
Man I've watched this video on repeat for hours it's absolutely phenomenal 🔥 been following Nate from day 1 and the story he's created through his music is on another level. Crazy how he can make his videos feel like a movie, love his orchestral style, it hits different and helps convey the emotion in a really special way
You're absolutely right in regards to this work being a masterpiece! I rarely find myself moved enough to comment on the videos I watch, but felt obligated to thank you and give admiration for your reaction, which is undoubtedly a masterpiece in itself! I have less than a dozen channels in my subscription list that caters to musical reactions. I have subscribed to channels that seem authentic and resonate with my gut. This being the first video I've seen of yours, on a song ive heard a hundred times,... Wow,.. You're truly incredible! I am so impressed with your attention to detail, your wit, and how elegantly you construct your perceptions! Geez, this incoherent rambling I've given you is a testament to how sincerely excited I am to have found your channel. I love the vibes I get from your content and will be here with you on your journey. Truly, thank you for sharing! I'm excited to see more! Also, you're as beautiful as you are brilliant! Marry me?? Keep up the incredible work! You have incredible potential for this channel to EXPLODE! And the NF journey could be a catalyst for the tipping point! Wishing you all the best! Kevin
I absoluetely love your reactions. Being an empath as well as a huge Nf fan I get so excited watching you see things for the first time, and you just get it! You see things in such a beautiful and tragic viewpoint and its really beautiful. Thank you for being so passionate!
He legit made a movie in a song it’s crazy to see his personal progression as a person and very awesome to see him getting through everything he’s gone through
i've watched at leat 10 NF hope react so far, and for this multi-layer masterclass it amaze me how ppl actualy react to the layer they have an interest into and completly miss others, "a mind cannot express what it cannot conceive" i guess, therefore "can't see it". that's why i watch them all, they all give different perespective. and i have to say "i love yours", definitly new subscriber
Can't get enough of this song. It is totally awesome. Nate kills it like always. Love the reaction. Another great breakdown. Looking forward to many more.
I never had an answer to "what's your favorite artist" but now I think it's NF, his music is just consistent, every song he makes I love and it's so rewarding following his music and videoclips because it all connects to make a cohisive story of growth
This is great I like this alot he definitely knows how to come back with something to shake things up and show how he can change things up and a cool way to announce his albumn I really enjoyed this ride today as always your ride or die forever EyyyOooo
When you get to covering all of his videos from his album titled The Search you will see the black balloons plenty. That's the album that I first discovered NF and from someone with as much mental health damage as myself throughout my life, that album speaks a LOT to me (as well as everything previous I had to catch up on). I love NF. He means so much to so many of us.
There is such a great message behind the whole idea of HOPE. He's directing a view of having faith but the hope he's been is being connected to the evil he's had to overcome the whole time. HOPE has always been there to see it all and be sure to deliver him from all of it. HOPE has to fight Nate so much but it's not giving up on him. And...Nate is having faith to have HOPE now more than ever after having his son to help him realize he's got to be better now after being 30years deep in his despair. God has blessed NF fir being such a fighter for himself and everyone else. 🙏 🤍
NF- The search "I'm looking for the map to hope you seen it?" When I saw the map in his hands and put 2 and 2 together I was freaking out. There's so much to gather from this and I'm so happy he's back. So much motivation. When I think he finally reached his peak NF just raises the bar higher everytime 🔥
Great reaction! What I have recently learned through my own mental well-being journey is that the first part to recovery is discovery. NF exemplifies that and him dropping this song couldn't have come at a better time. The world is tough and I think we all really needed this right now. Keep up the amazing reactions!
You're the best Rosalie!!! I'm grateful for your insights. I just wanted to point out that if you look at the 2 words that NF emphasizes are "Hope" and "Reigns" (*actually* spelled "Reigns" in the lyrics). This song is really really deep and amazing. His song 'Drifting' leads up to this moment almost like the raft is delivering him to this song 'Hope' to duke it out with himself. I also loved how when he brought up having kids, he gets kidnapped. This really hit me hard because I have so much hope in my kids. Reading into this, it really feels like having his son jolted him from his focus on himself and his problems to making sure his kid(s) never feel the same way he did. Taking that past hurt and turning it into motivation. That's success. I think that's why his songs make you want to cry at the end. It's exactly what you go through. There's nothing but insights being thrown at you relentlessly. It's what everyone wishes their parents said to them. I think "Time to give the people something different" is going to be an understatement once Hope releases. 😊Keep being amazing Rosalie!
thank you very much!! what great insight and feedback from you. thank you for sharing :) I cannot wait for the album drop and am working on something special leading up to it :)
This song is an absolute banger imo. What I think this song is about is fighting your demons to break free of your pain and past experiences that's holding you back from actually doing something with your life. There was a point in the song where Nate was basically saying "why seek validation from others if you can't even get it from yourself", and I think that says a lot about the current generation. I've had do some demon fighting myself, and even felt I needed to seek validation from others, but I was willing to break free of it, whereas others just want to stay in that fight because it's comfortable for them, or maybe they've never known otherwise. People are capable of change, it's that some people get the wrong end of change, and Nate was one of those people that got wrong end of change, but eventually he was willing to break free of his past. He even said he forgives his mom, and that says a lot about how far he's come, and I have mad respect for him doing so. Great reaction and I hope his upcoming album will be absolutely amazing.
Rosalie, I love watching your reactions in general, but to see you so hyped and excited on this was really just awesome!! I know you haven't finished the journey yet, and this song is absolutely amazing for certain, but this is what an NF reveal is like....mind numbing, jaw dropping, artistic brilliance. I'm so glad you got to experience it. Thanks for the awesome review! I absolutely loved it!
He also had so many of these splits in personality (the echoed “My album,” at the beginning) and the darkness coming back at the end when it was back and forth “You’re never enough,” “You don’t have the faith,” only to end with the dark side yelling “NO” just before he says he’s taking the reins.
Great reaction! I love the fact that you spend time at the end actually discussing the song/video, concepts, symbolisms, your opinions and thoughts. Was a refreshing experience. You are very well spoken and were very entertaining to listen to. Glad I came across your channel. Better late than never haha keep up the great work!
You are such a wonderful person on how you describe everything seriously you are so well spoken. NF's music has always been a huge part of my life and his music truly saved me....I recently was trying to look for your reaction to his song RUNNING
Rosalie, I have never appreciated your interpretation of lyrics and music more than I do today with this NF song. As a Canadian, I chuckle everytime you say y'all. 🤣
This video is an amalgamation of everything he's done. There are call backs and Easter eggs going all the way back to Mansion. It is also a statement, that hes finally found the "map to hope" and is now on a new journey, leaving his past where it belongs.
I always love your Real Reactions, comments and analysis! Nate working with Tommee Profitt (music production) and Patrick Tohill (video production) is artwork and this was a masterpiece! I saw this list of references from another NF fan's comment (D_Zezu) and it's pretty mind blowing ... Nate on the raft (Drifting) 0:30 Nate's white clothes (The Search, Leave Me Alone, PAID MY DUES) 1:05 Paddle from LOST (LOST) 1:06 Fear's first line (Intro III) 1:16 'Hope Island' strong opposite to LOST scenery (LOST) 1:23 Nate and Fear argue over who made the album (Intro III) 1:31 Definition of success (Why) 2:00 Feelings giving wrong directions (Just Like You) 2:20 Map to Hope (The Search) 2:54 Mansion (Mansion) 2:54 Dramatic scene change (CLOUDS) 3:19 Shopping Cart and Balloons (The Search, Leave Me Alone, Why) 3:36 Room full of regrets (Mansion) 3:44 Cell and keys (Outcast) 3:44 Old man (Let You Down) 3:58 Nate gets 'kidnapped' (Green Lights) 4:12 Nate forgives his mother (How Could You Leave Us) 4:16 30 Years of... (The Search, Hate Myself, Nate, Why) 4:44 Nate vs Fear (Intro III) 4:58 Nate takes the reigns (LOST, Drifting "Can't remain afraid")
I'm so glad you got to experience this as it comes out! I think it'd be kinda neat for you to revisit this music video after you finish your NF Journey though. There are SOOOO many references prepared throughout. I'm excited you caught as many as you did! It'd be awesome to watch you see allll the little pieces come together. Just an idea. 🙂
I don't know why but I started laughing uncontrollably to your reaction when fleurie started singing the hook to mansion his artistry is just so amazing I think we all felt the passion in it
These are fire reviews. Far over the shallow hype reviewers. These productions deserve notetaking and empathetic discussion. Nobody is on NF’s level in the hip hop industry. Thanks for catching it all!
Hope was my first introduction to NF and I only watched it because everyone was reacting to it. I was hooked instantly! Ive been down the NF Rabbit Hole listening to his older music and I'm so impressed! I love this kid ❤
Hey Rosalie, something I always love about your reactions is that you keep them clean and family friendly, like NF, and you always give an honest and thoughtful reaction and analysis, so thank you for that! I like what you mentioned about him trying to close the door on all the references to his past cuz I didn't pick up on the symbolism of that the first time since there was so much going on in the video, but I think you're onto something there. I think the part at the end was him battling his inner demons, fear and doubt, again and they were trying to hold on and Nate, as hope, is saying that he's taking the reigns from them. The thing I love the most about this video and song is that you can definitely tell it's NF but he's clearly grown since getting married and having his son. I was wondering how his son would influence his songwriting and this is exactly how I "hoped" it would, pun intended. I also love that he has gone from all black clothes to all white to represent hope as well.
im on disability both for mental and physical issues. This Dude is my goto for when i need to not feel alone.......so jacked for the rest of the album. TY for the reaction and TY NATE! prob saved my life. no joke.
Beautiful song, terrific reaction. We are all hoping you can dedicate more time to Nate's journey! April 7 is his new album. Your husband should join you for reactions to the new songs! Old ones too if possible. SO EXCITED FOR THE HOPE ALBUM!! Looking forward to your next reaction, best wishes to you and yours.
This song absolutely touches the heart and soul! Seeing new NF is amazing when you just discovered him this last year! I’m still very excited to see a reaction from you for Watch the World Burn by Falling in Reverse! They way you break down the songs in your reactions are amazing, and would love to see what you have to say for that one! Love what you’re doing and enjoyed this reaction!!
"I'm taking the... reigns." is still one of the most prolific lines he's ever written in any song he's done. After years of feeling like he couldn't take control and he finally broke through. It's absolutely beautiful.
ok im like an year late to this reaction, but this was the best ive seen so far. she can actually relate and analyze the references and feel the depth, which many of popular reaction channels cant. this was beautiful!
