0:01 me: oh yeah this is fire already

I've never understood how you can feel so close to someone you've never met.

He got me drifting

My bro loved NF, he suffered a brain injury recently and lost all emotional attachment to his family, including me... This song gives me hope he'll come back to us, someday...

NF doesn't just rap and sing _over_ the beat, he raps _with_ it. They compliment each other and unite in an amazing harmony.

I’m a simple man, I see NF I click.

I realize how 7 billion people are missing this masterpiece. Blessed to have come across this. Drifting

"Feeling safe is unrealistic" Never hit harder.

My boy already dropped 6 songs in 3 minutes

The only rapper that makes me feel happy, sad, angry and hyped at the same time

Don't mind me, just having a NF marathon at 2am while doing schoolworks

"I see u in the distance, asking me why im so distant" ... Hits different when u understand it. Damn.

"Tell me I'm worth it, God." - NF

who else totally freaked out when he dropped 7 songs at once!?!

"I'd rather be burned alive than go back to thinking I'm insignificant" Favorite line of the song

that last verse is 🔥. I only found NF's music about a week ago and now he's almost all I listen to. "Tell me I'm worth it God"... that hits me hard. Man this guy's lyrics are powerful. I'm going through a little bit of bs right now and music like this is what I need. Thank you NF

only rapper that makes me feel peaceful and hyped in the same song

Me when the song started: This is so oddly calming NF: UNKNOWN SOUNDS

"If feeling makes you stronger, I'm the weakest" hits hard

This song hits so hard. It’s just art of sorrow and truth.

Oh who's here while he's releasing all the songs??

Anytime NF drops, it’s a guarantee hit

2:14 that scream in background sheesh...

I'm going to be honest here, and I don't care ppl think, I balled my eye's out on this song and it is helping me too release all the bs that has been building up in-side me, for many of years, so in that THANK YOU NF FOR MAKING SONGS LIKE THIS. also your other song change, is right up there with this song.. keep doing u bro.. you got this in the bag!

The way NF says “to unfamiliar feelings and unknown sounds” hits different

"I'd rather be burned alive then go back to thinking i’m insignificant"

Elementary Music Teacher here at a lower income school with refugee families, single parent homes, kids with trauma, kids of every color of the Rainbow… a majority of my students relate to and love rap music. You know how hard it is to find rap songs without swear words?!! Until now… thank you NF for the music you do! I can’t wait for my students to use your music for our rap songs in our Pop/Rock Concert this year!!!

The kinda music you listen to when the homies aren’t around.

NF is the best friend I never had, he comes back when I'm at my lowest

NF is the kind of serious guy that gathers all the bad guys and forces them to quit bad habits.. *No one curses when with Nf*

That last little verse has more substance and meaningful lyrics then any other song I’ve heard combined

You're not alone , GOD IS WITH U . NF IS WITH U TOO.

YESSSSS

This one hit hard

10 feet down is good but DRIFTING is another level!

His drifting is so good because Dom taught him about family

i don’t know how he does it but every song on the mixtape is absolute fire

"Look into the mirror and say I love you, convince yourself that no one in the world would ever want to." That hit hard...

I'm grateful to live in the times NF lives in.

After a YEAR😟... I'm still here listening to NF the greatest. Your lyrics have the answers man😩

This community is so breathtakingly supportive

NF is such an amazing rapper and he’s gonna be an incredible dad!

This song is just unreal. The emotions it spurs and the replay value is crazy. Find something new each listen it seems like. Absolute Masterpiece NF.

This song went from 100 to 200 real quick and yeah it's NF it never starts with 0 it starts with 100

How does this chorus manage to encapsulate the feeling of such a deep depression within seconds

2:53 such a good so- *OH SHOOT ITS NOT OVER*

life is hard, so is this.

NF is like medicine. He makes you feel better, and if you have a lot of him you'll get addicted. Best addiction ever.

This man really can't produce a bad song

Whenever I listen to NF, I start thinking about my own life..

this song is so fire nf always got me in my feels.

You're not just a rapper; you are my therapist. I can relate to myself in every lyric you write!

It's like he's reading words straight out of my head sometimes.

never clicked so fast

This song is a work of art, and an act of God. You hit home with this in a way so perfect I can't comprehend, and I know I'm far from the only person with this on repeat because they need to hear it. "Tell me I'm worth it, God"

(So deceivin') They look different, don't they?

Drop a song outta nowhere and all the fans embrace it

"Told you look into the mirror and say, 'I love you', convince yourself that no one in the world would ever want to" bro. those lines hit differently

This guy's got the best community ever, i mean look at the likes and the dislikes

NF is going to be such a great Dad to him and Bridgettes son! 🖤

NF is just incredible, he has some of the most relatable music ever.

This song makes me have emotions that I don't recognize

Heard this song right when it was released. But now here I am, at 4am, blocked by my best friend, heartbroken, super lonely with important exams within 60days, studying and trying to keep myself together when all I want is to fall apart, and I put my playlist on shuffle and this song comes up and damn. Every. Freaking. Lyric. Hits sooo hardddd "Highlight all the things I wish I never said" "How you're talking to yourself is rude" "Sinking, dreaming, screaming for some truth" "Climbing till I'm out of breath Questioning my every step" "Positive that where I'm at is not where I should stay and that's why Told you to look in the mirror and say I love you Convince yourself that no one in the world would ever want to." And I finally feel understood. Not alone. I'm so grateful this guy exists/// Hold on tight fellas we gonna make it through this Edited to add more lyrics xD

It’s like he’s telling a story of his life in ever song that he makes and they all connect...

"I'm a puzzle got a lot of missing pieces" wow

I'm still drifting with this song

Drifting is so criminally underrated… never before have I listened to a song where it felt like every verse was taken exactly out my head

Hello NF my name is Daniel I’m just your average 16 yr old and go through a lot mentally I’m not gonna lie. Things get hard. And well I just wanted to tell you that I think you are really cool and a great lyricist. Honestly I listen to like everyone of your songs. I just wanted to let you know that your music that you have created really helps me and MILLIONS of other people out and for that I would just like to say thank you. I doubt you are going to see this but thank you so much and I hope things only get better.

I think we alll just want a man like NF 😭I won’t settle for any less

"Postitive that where im at is not where i should stay" is such an amazing line that so much people can relate to

He has swayed the world and shook the industry with his 🎶 music

NF is like a poetic therapist that reminds you that you may be battling darkness, but at least your not doing it alone. We're all in this together

this the one

"Tell me I'm worth it, God", love that bit.

NF - "if felling make me strong,then I'm the weakest"? Damn

0:00 Use me as repeat cause we all know this lowkey his best song on the album

“I predict that all my wishes on my wish list won’t be heard”?? YES whattt-

"Listening to unfamiliar feelings and unfamiliar sounds"

the cadence in this song is so fire

If this doesn’t play in my funeral I’m not dying.

One of my favorite on this mixtape... actually... there all my favorite 🤣

to everyone struggling with mental issues keep strong 💪

2022 already still watching the world go round. If anyone reads this I wish you the best luck for this year.

Life achievement completed: Live through a new album by NF

I already feel the energy of all the reaction channels leave this song when it's complete silent towards the end and miss the bit of God tier rap at the end...that's probably gonna piss me off😭

" HOW YOU'RE TALKING TO YOURSELF IS RUDE"😪 . I remember going on holiday for 2 weeks in August at our farm.. away from people, just animals and trees surroundings literally.. I recall just Venting to this song for like the whole 2 weeks straight, day n night.

This song saved me.... Saved my child from loosing his father...

NF is the type of artist that can make you feel every emotion possible all at the same time

Nf is so lyrical, like his words just play together so amazingly I can’t even explain it

I JUST WANNA KNOW WHY I'm afraid of CHANGE MY STRESS has me feeling like a LOST OUTCAST DRIFTING in the outback walking CIRCLES in THE SEARCH for THIS THING CALLED LOVE I KNOW I'm not the ONLY ONE. If you were WITH ME REMEMBER THIS I will always be REAL UNTILL I DIE!

the piano part.. and then THE MASSIVE PLOT TWIST

“People leave you while I’m drifting” I felt that 100% life atm for me.

And he’s back

If NF wrote a book I certainlly would read it.

I don’t know if I should finish listening to this song or go to the other ones

It hit me when he said ‘Told you look in the mirror and say, “I love you” Convince yourself that no one in the world would ever want to.

"It's not a secret, I'm a puzzle, got a lot of missing pieces"..

NF. you are the only person who knows how we actually feel. I guesse we really are just drifting

“I mean, I think sometimes people they confuse what I'm doing. I write about life, I write about things that I'm actually dealing with. Something that I'm actually experiencing, this is real for me. Like this is something that personally helps me as well. I'm not confused about who gave me the gift, God gave me the gift and he gave me the ability to do this ,And he also gave me this as an outlet, And that's what music is for me. When I feel something, whether it's anger. Um, it's a passion about something, or frustration. Like this is where I go, this is, that's the whole NFrealmusic thing man. This is real for me, I need this, this is a therapy for me” ~Nate Feuerstein
