We React To NF: How Could You Leave Us (THE HARDEST REACTION YET) 

This is so interesting to me... I've followed Ronnie Radke for 10 years and have loved his work... I've joined your journey with NF for 10 minutes and love his work... Music is such a powerful thing guys, thank you

My son played this song for me 5 years ago. At the time I was at the bottom of a ten year opiate addiction. I felt all my kids pain in Nates eyes and words. It was the push I needed to finally seek treatment. I've been clean ever since. NF couldn't save his mom but he did save me and I am forever greatful. I've been a devoted fan ever since and this is the reason I feel that Nate is a prophet.

He wrote this song when he was like 19 or 20, shortly after she died. He said in an interview that he wrote this from that little kid's perspective. He has since, as a grown man, understand her as the addict better than when he did when he was little. she gave her kids absolutely ZERO stability. They bounced between their dad, their mom & (mostly) his grandparents. He has said he gives her more grace now and has since forgiven her. There are a few great interview videos out there. One is like an hour long and is about 5 years ago or so. Thatbis the interview that he talks about forgiving her now as an adult. Great reaction guys! I absolutely LOVE NF so much!

When Nate recorded this in the studio I’m pretty sure that he wanted everyone to leave for that last part. And from the beginning I think it was supposed to be a complete verse but Nate broke down and just cried into the mic instead. But they decided it was so emotional and fit so well in the song, so they kept it

This is a song where it doesn’t matter how many times you listen to it, it will always hit you the same as the first time you heard it

"music is the only place i can go to speak to you" That line has such a deep meaning and i can relate to it.

I haven’t listened to this song since Nate and his wife had their son. The ending is even harder to listen to now 😭😭

Its more or less things you hear from interviews and just NF himself. He talks about it in intervals. One huge thing is that this song took him i think almost 2 days to finish recording because of how hard it was. He recorded the first half, then his producer stopped, and took him to a movie, out to eat, etc. Then the very end NF asked everyone to leave the booth so he could record it.

This song honestly saved my life, I have 3 beautiful children and still wasn't ready to grow up, this song destroyed me in the best way, nf will always be the realest rapper.

Don't normally comment on videos but seeing yalls reaction helped this song hit even harder. Thank you for being transparent and not holding back your own emotions. Seeing your empathy, how even you guys let your heart be on your sleeve during this video was truly beautiful. Thank you Kyle and Eric. Yall are awesome. Edit: IDK if you guys do requests. There's a pretty strong song called "The Patriot" by Topher

The most heartbreaking part of this song is throughout the story, he leans on how much anger and resentment he holds towards his mother...but he still ends it with "I wish you were here".

Something I've come to learn in my 46 years of life, is that it honestly does not matter that NF may have had a worse situation than you two. All that matters is that you went through something of your own. I've had a total shit life myself, but it doesn't matter how much or how bad. If a situation arises that is the worst thing that you've ever had to experience, then you understand. There should never be any discussion of trauma vs trauma and who had it worse. Most everyone has their own trauma of one kind or another, and even though we are all different, having gone through our trauma makes us all the same as broken souls. Love and respect to you both, and can't wait for the journey to continue!

"Enought to make a grown man cry" it hits deep we may not go through the exact situations but we feel his emotions and can tell it's as real as they get

This masterpiece as he has said ,is the most authentic he ever wrote. Everyone had to leave the studio at the end of the song. Also he said that now that he has become a parent ,he has taken the place of his mother and has forgiven her. Incredible touching reaction, thank you guys. There are songs you listen to and songs you F E E L !!#NFREALMUSIC

You guys are a couple of real, beautiful souls. I really appreciated your emotional honesty and I think it goes a long way to show people it's okay to get emotional over real situations and real human suffering because we all go through it. Wanna hear the good news? The next song is more of a hype song so you've made it out of the woods! 😆

This is my exact childhood. Every bit of anger and tears he has I’ve had. This song made me feel so connected to him and made all of his songs and journey make sense. Great reaction guys!

The Raw Emotion is what hits the hardest. It's feeling it with him. I empathize with him as my bio dad was similar. The pain never goes away and I feel comfort listening to his music. I love y'all's reaction. Y'all are beautiful people. Mental health is important.

Not gonna lie... the first time I heard this song a few years ago, I had to go see my mom and grandma and hug them. This song will hurt anyone that listens to it even if they haven't experienced anything to this level. If anyone ever needed proof that his music is "real" this is all the proof you'd ever need.

I’ve been listening to NF since 2017 and this song brought me to tears. It’s been a long time I heard a song that made me emotional. NF is a great artist.

Music is SO powerful man 😭🥺 Nate is an absolutely talented musician & person. The way he brings his story into his music is incredible.

This is the rawest emotional song I've ever heard. Hits deep every time. NF asked his producer/team to leave the studio. They continued recording and he flat out cried and talked through his emotions that you hear at the end. This is the toughest one to listen to. We promise, it gets much much better.

The only song that makes me legitimately cry every time; it hits so incredibly hard and is so genuinely authentic you can FEEL the pain and how much it's affected Nate

I’ve watched this video probably 100 or more times and it still makes me cry.

Awesome honest reaction lads - nothing unhealthy about shedding some tears at a beautiful piece of art.

This track is so hard to listen to. I cry everytime i hear it. It's so powerful. And when you know how it's been produced that makes it even more impectful. Great reaction guys

"I'll edit this to make us cool" 😂I've watched this reaction probably 3 times before and I keep coming back because you two have added so much to my NF listening experience over the last few months. Thanks, guys, for being REAL.

I don't usually watch the reactions to this song but I love you guys and just subscribed to your patreon to support your channel and follow you on the NF journey. I turned 40 today and man, I wish I had NF when I was growing up. His vulnerability and genuiness is relatable on so many levels. Not gonna revoke your man cards for the tears cause I was right there with you! Don't worry, some serious bangers are coming up.

I normally don’t watch reactions for this song….but here we go. Well we all cried together and it’s good to see boys have feelings. Thanks guys.😔

Great reaction guys. I listen to NF on constantly, to the point where my daughter says “what a surprise, it’s NF” in a sarcastic tone. But this song always gets to me. I don’t cry much at all and never been through something like this, but this song ALWAYS gets me a little watery. But great reaction and if it helps, I don’t think there is any other song this deep. Lots of great tracks ahead. I don’t know if it has been mentioned but I guess he told everybody to leave at the very end when he was talking. It’s a very sad song but in the journey it’s a very very important piece of the puzzle

As someone who first met my dad at his funeral from drug and alcohol abuse this hit me in places I didn't even think I had. Thank you NF for bringing the music we don't want to hear but need to, and thank you both for the real reactions and incite to his work. Keep up the good work.

I have been low key dreading this part of the journey because I knew it was gonna smash everyone's face in the cement. Whether it's the first time or thousandth time theyve heard it, it simultaneously tugs heartstrings that are freshly born and the old as fuck ones with deep roots. Its raw. Its disgusting. Its beautiful. And its real. I'm a single momma with 3 kids. Ive been thru more in my life than most people and that was BEFORE I had my kids. The ripple effect of trauma never really ends. Its what you do with it that matters. When I get in a dark place, I watch this video on repeat. The amount of beautiful sobbing that happens every single time you watch it, heals. It helps somehow. Thank you for going on this journey and being 100% in the dark the whole time. It makes the reactions that much more authentic and beautiful. Love you guys. I really do. Im here if you need a shoulder or a chat. I'm a pretty dope soul. And dope souls inevitably find each other. Its science. Thanks again for this. Im gonna go cry for a while and feel better after. ❤

This song was actually the first NF song I listened to. While I've never experienced anything CLOSE to what NF portrays in the video, I still love it for the art and because NF helped me to understand. So many people in this world have stories like this, and the best way I can help them is to listen and understand where they're coming from. Thanks to NF, I can do that.

I became paralyzed in August 2020 and have been struggling with trying to graduate, chronic pain, crippling depression, and new life style ever since. I had a hard time trying to get my parents to understand how hard it was to have my mobility and normality stripped away. We would have the same fight over and over for a year. My relationship with my mom declined and my dad blamed himself for my accident so he avoided me. It hurt because I used to be really close to them and my dad was truly a best friend. It would hurt when he’d walk past me and not even look at me. Towards the end of 2021 my dad and I were painting, watching movies, making fun of each other and my siblings like we used to. Unfortunately, on January 14th my father unexpectedly passed away from a heart attack. My family grew farther apart and now 5/8 of the people in my household suffer from depression. We no longer have my dad income but we do have 8 mouths to feed not counting out animals. I feel responsible or all the pain in my family and the panic and anxiety attacks have gotten worse to the point I can no longer console myself. I’ve been an NF fan for over five years and I hadn’t listened to his music for maybe three of the five but I feel as if God answered my pleas and sent me a guardian angel. Now NF’s songs hit a little harder after the trauma I’ve experienced. I had started loosing faith in the Lord and it scared me because without the foundation of belief, what motivation do I have to even fight the demons residing in my mind. Without hope or faith I felt nothing and the temptation to take my own life started growing too tempting. Especially after my fathers death. I am glad NF was brought back into by life because the Lord new just how he would be able to help me. I can’t wait for you guys to go on this journey too!!!

Reminds me of Korn's Daddy, a song that, for my own reasons, I NEEDED to listen to all the way through once, but not a song I ever want to listen to again.

I can honestly say I never broke down hearing a song till I heard this when it first came out.

This shit hits home to me SO HARD. Hearing this as a broken child and now listening to it as a father of 3 boys… I don’t know which point of my life it hits harder.

This song will never not make me cry. I don’t listen to it anymore but I do enjoy seeing reactors videos. Thank you for being so honestly emotional; this song just hits like a tank

I've heard this song dozens of times and it still hits me in the feels. I won't go into details but I relate to this song too much. I love how you guys knew it was coming and still took it. Great reaction.

This is genuinely one of the best songs for emotion, impact, or anything that I only listen to like once or twice a year. The pain dripping from this song is overwhelming for me and others that have not even been through something like this.

such a crazy train of events for me.. i started at one reaction channel a few months ago, just looking for new music i could get into... happened to come across a couple of Falling in reverse vids on said channel ( i had heard of falling in reverse, in name only) so i watched those and was just blown away by RR's voice, watched his vids reacting to content creators, basically leading me here. so my point to all this rambling is that i am thoroughly loving this channel! i had never heard of NF before, so this is my first time hearing this, and the power and emotion of this song. wow... just wow! The thing is.. i prob wouldnt have heard this song unless it just blew up or something like that, but through the chain effect of music it happened and i'm grateful! Music is healing, Music is my higher power! @Rykerroad, keep this up guys, ya'll effin rock!

this is the lowest part of the journey...the healing now begins. My favorite rapper

Thanks to your reaction to this touching and heartfelt song. Even a person who doesn't pass this situation, can feel the pain and the suffering of NF. The crying simply rip our inner core and make us feel the reality of this world. Sometimes it's so good to let some tears drop of our face. Thanks NF and thanks you guys for your feedback. I'm looking forward to keep accompany you on this wonderfull journey.

My mom wasn't addicted to any drugs to my knowledge but she did abandon my sister, myself and my dad when we were just babies. I never knew her until I was an adult and now that I have two babies of my own it always resurfaces that I'll never understand how she could have done that to us. I'm sure she had her own demons and reasons and I have since forgiven her for the abandonment but I will never fully understand and I have suffered the damages from living with the idea that even your own mother doesn't love you and you werent' good enough for her so how could you be good enough for anything or anyone else. It's coming up on one year of her unexpected passing and now my baby girls will never know their grandmother either. This song is so hard to listen to because it evokes so much emotion. That's what makes it great. NF is a special artist.

"I'm still 9 years old...I just paid taxes". That's soooo profound! Thanks guys. I absolutely love your reactions

This is the first song id ever heard by NF. At the time my mom was in active drug addiction and id been bouncing from family member to family member. We got about 8 years with her clean and sober before she died this year in february. This song still hits just as hard as it did when i first heard it.

NF - Thing called love. One of the best songs ever!!!!!!❤️❤️❤️

I was at work and this song came on, on pandora. I was unprepared. Bawling at work. Still to this day the song makes me cry. Love that a song can make you feel a situation you’ve never felt.

I love how raw your emotions are while reacting to this song. To my understanding it was done in one take, and he had a 4th verse but couldn't finish the song before breaking down in the studio. NOBODY does music like NF.

I listen to this song several times since the album first dropped. Every time I tear up. I feel like it helps me to strive to be a better father for my children. It humbles me more and reminds me to pray and work harder to be the best parent I can be. Thanks guys. Love your reactions!

man, the raw reactions. love you guys 🤍

It hits differently when he says “when I have kids.” NF just recently had his first child, Beckham.

The second time I've watched this song cried both times sad but beautiful song NF is a legend x I had to watch your reaction tho so raw and emotional.

I have to thank you for being aware of this song. I lost my mom to drugs at the age of three and this song has been a light at the end of a tunnel for me. It's made me realize that I'm not the only one who has gone through this and I will be able to get through this. I've listened to this song every day for a year and it still sometimes brings tears to my eyes.

My boys lost their dad to alcoholism when they were 11 and 7 and this song hits so hard. I worry for them so much about how they feel like they lost something they never had.

The two most emotional songs I’ve ever heard in my life are this song and brother by falling in reverse. Two absolutely tear inducing and beautiful songs

Every time I listen to this song I tell myself that I'm not going to cry. Screw that 😭🖤

The moment I saw the paper towels I was like that's not enough Great reaction love you guys

Bawling. Thanks guys for being vulnerable and sharing your genuine reaction

Great video guys, love how honest you both are! On the bright side this is his most emotional song and he has some heavier rap stuff right after with "Real". Really looking forward to you guys reaction to that song and you very well may need to use CC as he pops off!

Mad respect to both of you guys, NF is truly a prophet in his writing, singing, and rapping. He is a new EM!

At the end, he ran everyone out of the studio, just him and the microphone, talking to his Mother.

during the recording session he asked everyone to leave the studio so that he could be alone to just break down so what you here at the end is the real deal.

When I lost my mom this song helped me more than I'll ever be able to pay back to nf, I hope he really understands how important his music is

If you don’t at least tear up to this song your not human 🤷🏻‍♂️😪

I first heard this song while laying on the floor at 4 am in my great grandmother’s after being evicted with my mom again. We were basically homeless and a he was at the height of her drug addiction and after hearing this song all I could think of was “I feel like my mom won’t last if she keeps taking pills at the rate she’s going.” I am lucky enough to see my mom slow down on the drugs she was doing but the emotional scars of expecting to find her overdosed has left me feeling exactly how NF felt. Getting free narcan and having my mom telling me to leave it in the house “just in case” is one of the worst feelings I’ve ever had to deal with.

I’ve been catching this series at lunch and dang I go back to my desk all emotional. I pray for all those going through the things Nate raps about. 🙏🏻 My mascara is all over my face just like Kyle’s snot.

At the end of the song he was planning to keep going but broke down crying and had to end the session. His interviews are great! Nf is REAL music

This song crushed me the first time I listened to it. You earned my respect and a Sub!

Nothing like NF ripping your heart out and dancing on it.

True reactors can feel the pain of NF with this song and mostly, they can't control their tears, esp for those who has the same experiences in life. >this is the most emotional song i have heard in my life.

Im just a 15yo boy who never experienced something bad and i have tears in my eyes. This song is crazy and your reaction is so emotional

this song GUTTED me the first time i heard it

i dont understand how hes able to sing this without getting emotional... im sure he had to do multiple takes.. such a beautiful song

Been following NF for some time. This one hit me HARD. I almost lost my mom due to her addiction to alcohol and she had to get a liver transplant. Knowing that at any moment you could lose somebody while they’re battling addiction is scary. NF put that into words and it’s so damn good.

This song is the story of my life and I don’t have the courage to show my mother. I cry every single time I hear this yelling the lyrics

This is so close to my childhood, but it was my dad. There is so many pictures in the video that i remember me doing, like looking out the window waiting for him to come, but he never did.

I just love every reaction! Laughing.... Crying... I'm here for it!

Him talking at the end always fucks me up, i was so mad at my dad right until my grandparents told me he eas gone, thrn i instantly regretted it, i was just a kid but it still fucks me up from time to time hiw stubborn i was when he was trying to fix our relationship

Thank you my fave too and i found him just 2 month ago

Hearing Hooe, And then this again really puts how far he has come into prospective!!! His journey is so amazing!!

This is not just a song!!This is a soul deposid!!!😢#NFREALMUSIC

Extremely late to this reaction, been binge watching your guys reactions a lot lately. I won't get super personal, although I say this but this song was played for me like 3 years after I found my dad in his bed with empty pill bottles next to him, and uh yeah. He was just gone, so for the sake of me losing my mind I'll just cut it short and say as a young kid coming into being a very young "Adult" not even really, every lyric in this song kills me, the part about "they found you on the floor" and the end when he's talking about when he has kids... I just, I just can't. Something like that is forever seared into my brain and I will never forget that day and I miss my dad to pieces. Here I am 11 years later and it still feels like yesterday. Much love to both of you for getting through this, and I am so happy that I found this channel. ❤‍🩹

I pick this as my 1st NF song 😭 My mum passed 21yrs - due to addiction and mental health... this song broke me ...

I was a real piece of work in my early 20’s falling into a depression where I tried multiple times to drink myself to death. I would drink socially with friends to the point of blacking out. At home I would polish off bottles of anything I had in the house, to the point where I physically couldn’t pick the bottle up to drink more. Thankfully I got my act together, have a fantastic job and now a 4 month old that I never could imagine choosing alcohol over. NF had no factor over me deciding to end my addiction but I still sympathize with the man. Kids especially don’t know/understand what addiction is and how someone could choose their drug of their choice over their children. I just thank God that I saw the light and realized what I was doing was only going to hurt the people I loved.

The end, when he is crying, was real... He tells everyone in studio to go out to make it alone 'cause he was really crying

Nf we forever be my influencer coz I have been following is journey for years now and I will never stop...💚💚💚💚💚

I can never get through this one without completely bawling. 😪 Btw...love your channel guys! Have watched a few of your videos now and I have become a new sub! Great videos. Sending you much love and hugs from Ontario Canada 🇨🇦 🤗

Laughter through tears is my favorite emotion.

I love you guys... I lost my father to suicide and drugs when I was a toddler and this song hits hard... watching you guys keeps my spirits up... thank you guys

so many of my friends and ig family relate to these things, and the only thing that someone can do about it is talk to them in a comforting way or just give them space. it happened to me when i was 10 with my dad. he was a drug attic, and i had to teach myself how to play drums (i had been dreaming about becoming pro for years). I had been trying to show him things that i made. it’s just so relatable

This song hits me hard because I can relate to it. I'm 14, and my mother was addicted to drugs and abandoned me and my little sister when I was 7.

I tear up and or cry every time I listen to this song. Especially the end.

This one is tough! It’s amazing he could even put it out. The good thing you’ll find is his personal growth heads in a better direction, along with is skills.

i had to watch this in 2 parts. the empath in me was screaming

I love that you guys aren't afraid to show your emotions. Your honesty is very refreshing.

Please make a video for the part 2 “Mama” …it’s truly beautiful !!!

Some of us didn't have good childhoods but we come out of that with the knowledge of how to be stronger kinder and more alive. Except on the bad days.

OMG... (again, channel newbie). Never listened to NF before following this journey. My heart...am a puddle of tears.

Love to both of you. This is the hardest one for most people. Thank you for being real.

Love you two
