Welcome to the NF family, you don’t know what you just discovered

I love how you go, "It's real music" only a minute into the video. That's literally his motto

"you can call me what you want but never call me forgettable" Thats a jab at the College kids reacts guy that said he was forgettable

Logic: man im on 🔥🔥🔥 right now NF: Hold my bars

His music is just different, he doesn't curse, his beat selection is different from most other rap songs, his music has a lot of tie ins from his past songs/ albumsand it's all in all real emotion evoking music

Yo NF fans are probably best ever. The like to pass knowledge and it’s probably the most positive community. Support all around.

"I've been sleeping" _inhales_ WAKE UP

When he says “his parents, ya know when things weren’t as hard” man I laughed and I shouldn’t have. NF by far has had one of the toughest lives I’ve known of. His parents divorced, his moms boyfriend beat him, Mom overdosed and died when he was young. He is such a powerful and strong person.

Bro, I’ve watched about 30 reactions to this song because 1, I love it and 2, I love hearing the different opinions of it. But I have to say, your reaction and dissection of the song and video is by far the best out there. A well earned sub from me. Looking forward to what you put out next... AJ

Nf:Nate Feurstein Cage:escaping his thoughts Shopping cart with balloons: burdens he still carries Lady on bench: mom who overdosed Hope that clears everything up Yes I got this from another comment fight me

3 years later and still love coming back to this one 🙌🏻

Song order to catch the whole story: 1. Intro 2. Mansion 3. Intro 2 4. Therapy Session 5. How Could You Leave Us 6. Intro 3 7. Outro 8. Outcast 9. Why Highly recommend you go in order. You'll get more from the songs if you do. All his songs are amazing tho. Nice reaction man.

Dude I'm glad you finally came around to NF and this is hands down thee best "The Search" reaction. I cant wait for you to do Mansion.

"Reminiscent of times when he was younger and things weren't as hard as they are now" Well...um...weeellllll

Bro 2.5 seconds in and this man already understands and is breaking down the story even though it's his first time ever hearing him like yassss I love people like this

11:58 when he says that the swing represents “the older times when he was younger and things weren’t as hard”... down this journey of NF he’a going to quickly find out that might not be true 😅 Welcome to the NF grind!

I don't listen to rap but I just can't get enough of NF's new stuff I'm watching every reaction about it

Love the way Nate moves his hands and expresses himself, he's an anomaly.

"when he was younger and things weren't as difficult"... good joke

NF is so amazing and I love when people realize how amazing he is! 😊😊

there are two kind of people in this world...the people who like n*sync...and FKN LIARS!!

Who's here after NF and Hopsin made "Lost" 6:49

Best reaction I've seen. Plus you nailed alot of the symbolism and visuals! Enjoy the search!

I love the fact this is actually a good reaction channel, knows what's going on talks about every lyric rather than just sitting and just watching the video, keep it up!!

To understand this you have to watch a lot 😂. Like Manson, Therapie Session, outcast, intro 3 and why

If you want deep and inspirational music, you found the artist to react to! Since you are new to NF, there is a ton of music for you to react to and it will be a true reaction which you do a great job! Looking forward to this possible NF journey with you!

Bro I subbed to you cuz you compared him to Hopsin and not Eminem 🤣 Fr tho, have fun with this journey cuz he's one of the realest artists around right now...also one of the best.

You're such a different breed of reaction guy hahah loved it !

Broooooooo!!! I LOVE YOUR BREAKDOWN!! Been watching your eminem breakdowns and soooooo glad you hopped on the NF journey. You will not be disappointed with him. Enjoy the ride and watch your subs blow! More NF bro!

I think the cart is his “prison” bc in his perception album he had a cage on stage so the cart is the movable version of that. And at the end of the song he crawls into it

This is easily my favorite rap reaction channel. Grateful to be introduced to this one. I took the white suit guys kinda like people wearing “bunny suits”. They still had their issues but because of their ppe they didn’t have to deal with it. NF out there in street clothes fighting the fight and at the end they give him the option to insulate or continue to deal with his issues.

First reaction I’ve seen where the lyrics are truly paid attention to . Thank you for really appreciating him ❤️

The Cage is from an other song called Outcast

Nice reaction dude! I watch tons of NF reactions and for not knowing his music you did a great job analyzing the song and video.

Hell yea, bro!! Great reaction🔥🔥🔥 can't wait to see more NF reactions. He goes hard!!!

No drugs, no alcohol, no women, no cars. Pure Rap. NF is changing the game. btw the people in the background are symbolism for other people who have only little burdens or have let go of their dark past. As you'll see in the "Leave me Alone" video is the sequel to this one. Nat is still holding onto all of his past and trying to hide his pain behind the black smile. The black balloons represent his anxiety and depression. This album where this track comes from is an evolution of change.

I love that drum line especially because of how often he uses the piano and orchestra beat

Nf is the best rapper man. His shows are so hype dude such great energy

I love coming back and seeing where the nf journey started for you after seeing you react to so many of his songs

I have watched lots of reactions from NF but yours are by far the best. Keep up the great work!

Dude, I've been listening to NF for a long time, but I didn't get near as much out of this song the first time I heard it. Thank you Man

Love the video. Knowing absolutely nothing about NF you were very perceptive and found more relateable lyrics than other videos with youtubers that have followed NF for a long time.

Nicely dissected! I've watched so many reaction videos to this song and, although I appreciate other reacts and viewpoints - you're the only one I've seen so far who's called out quite this many important points and details that give the song an oceans depth. Thank you!

Love when the old Ernest videos pop up, just before your first NF reaction is when I started watching your vids. Apprectiate the content man!

So cool to go back to this video after the release of the Clouds mixtape 💯

He’s amazing. Truly one of a kind hope you keep reviewing him.

I just watched 20 reaction videos to this song because I'm an addict to NF's words in this song.... and you kill it in breaking down what's going on. #1 reaction among them all - Just pausing enough to enjoy the intricacies and beauty and truth. Thank you! I'm now following your stuff.

Man, honestly. You are one of my favorite reaction channels to watch. You are very insightful and positive. Very wise as well. Keen mind for hip hop. NF being one of the greats IN MY OPINION and my favorite artist for the last 3 years after I discovered him.

the cage in the back and the cart even the ballons are from some of his other videos.

I wasn't sure how i felt about all the pauses at first but I gotta say you interpreted the song and video to a T! Better than anyone else i've watched react to this song! Love the vibes man keep doing your thing!

First time hearing nf was this video. Just wanted to come back and say thanks. New favorite artist

I love your reactions so much! I love that you understand the meaning of the videos and you explain it to people who are clueless about the messages!

Broooo so happy I've found such a detailed reaction. People mostly forget the about relationship between the song and the video but you tie the lyrics and the visuals so profoundly. Got a well-earned sub from me !

1. Notice the cage in the background = song "outcast" 2. Cart/ Black balloons- represent "his burdens" check "why" 3. When said he had to see a therapist = check "therapy session" 4. When he said something "going on in my house" (pointing to his mind)= check "mansion"

I come back to this reaction every now and again. It’s the best reaction I’ve seen; you pick up on a lot of the visual metaphors, as well as most of the bars. A big plus is that it’s your first NF song that you’re reacting to, and that’s my favorite reaction video to watch; someone listening to NF for the very first time. Keep it up bro

Wakey Wakey! lol Welcome to the world that is NF. You can call it a Family, Movement whatever you will but im soo excited for you. I literally never ever comment but just as someone below commented, I too have watched many a reaction to NF. Yours is by far not only the best but the most genuine I've seen yet. Your depth of perception (no pun intended) of every aspect of his art was great. I appreciate the respect and insight you had for not only the lyrical and musical aspect, but also all the symbolism in the visual (and there is sooo much, always is) and you pointed out if not most, all of it. Specific to NF I love to witness peoples first experience of his art. I have been listening to him for about 4 years and still remember mine, I've been hooked ever since. I have to say and i feel bad for admitting it but while watching yours it is the first time i haven't at some point fast forwarded through a persons commentary for whatever reason be it irritation, boredom or just not vibing it. That speaks volumes to me. You have earned not only my respect but, a fan and subscriber. I look forward to watching more from you not only NF but other artists as well. I will def be recommending your reactions to others. I apologize for how wordy and long this is but i had to give props and credit where it is due. (and if those flies are those irritating "fruit flies/gnats" I know of a trap u can make with a soda bottle or water jug that works amazing ;-) .. I felt ur pain 100%) -- Sue

Very impressed how you caught so much knowing nothing about him. Great job! Looking forward to watching your Nf journey with you. He is a very unique artist extremely deep.

I'm a big NF fan, and I just discovered you off of this video. I really enjoy your perspective and the way you break stuff down. I'll sub, and I look forward to more NF reactions! 🔥😁

Ernest you really know what you're talking about. Easily one of the best reactions I've ever watched.

This is the first time I’ve heard this view from anyone...saying those people are there to make sure he doesn’t ever fully get rid of his burdens...and I LOVE it!!! Genius!!!

What a great breakdown....you caught so much that others miss.....new sub for NF

For real, this is by far one of the best reaction vids to this song I've seen. Especially since you've never heard him before. Super impressive and I learned a lot too. Thanks man, new subscriber, and notification gang!

Holy shit dude, I have watched so mant reactions on all of his songs and you...by far.. are the best NF reactor i have ever seen. ONE OF US..ONE OF US

First time watching you and now a fan. I am impressed with the way you broke down this song. Your intuition was on point a verse(s) before you completely knew what was happening. I've seen reaction videos on NF but very few broke down NFs cryptic video message. Thank you... keep up the great reviews.

I come back here from time to time watch him fall in love with NF music.

Appreciate the reaction! The best reactions around.

Coming back to watch your first Nf react, and am amazed at how far you've come, you are made for this, keep vibing us with thoughts ❤

Thank you Ernest! I actually used this video as help for an English class because you analyse this video so great. Keep up the good work, big love from Denmark.

I can’t tell you how many reactions I’ve watched about this song, and this one is by far the best. Not only is it a great reaction, but it’s so good seeing people get introduced to NF, without any kind of background. I would be interested to see you do a reaction to this video once you’ve gone through the NF journey, because there’s SOOOO much in this video that relates back to past songs and videos. The cage, the balloons, the swing. It’s so good. I would say, I think you’re off about the people in white. I see it as people who have joy but still have burdens, and the last scene where the person in white give NF white clothing has to do with his Christianity and Christ giving him a new, white and clean outfit. The reason I think it’s Christ, is because the guy has no balloons, no burdens. That’s how I interpreted the video. So stoked to follow you on the NF journey, it’s gonna be great ride!

Welcome to the NF fan base. Best artist in the game, keep up the great reactions 🎈🛒

Yes! And thank you for your reaction!

Bro! I’m loving your honesty in your reactions! Thank you!!!!

This reaction was so good.

finally u react to NF,damn boy

Best reaction to NF the search by far!!!! Welcome to the journey...NF's faith is as strong as his struggle!! You will not be let down as you go back in NF history!! You are well worth subscribing to just to watch you watch this amazing faithful journey!! I'm in with you!!

Awwww yeah bro. I am amazed by how well you breakdown videos bro for real. It is impeccable. Enjoying your video with some Jose Cuervo bro, word!

Dude, your analysis is the best I've heard of all these reactions! Subbed to you man, nothing over the top either, but still engaging.

Ooo this channel does justice to NF’s brilliance

The way you dissected this video (without ever hearing about NF beforehand might I add) is the best I’ve seen for this song. I’m seriously so impressed 💕 you brought up things in your vid that didn’t even cross my mind and I’ve watched this music video over 50+ times already. You got a new sub 😊🙌🏼

I'm watching this again, because I just love your reactions to nf. Gotta re-watch all your reactions to nf

Bro you have the best production of a reactor I have ever seen. Your knowledge is great and the way you react. New sub here

New subscriber here! Welcome to the NF fandom for real though! Your reaction and dissection of the video was awesome.

I'm really late to your reaction, but thanks for such an insightful discussion of this, including the visuals. I look forward to exploring more of NF's work with your reactions.

Listening to this again over two years later is just so interestingly prophetic!

Bro you’re amazing at analyzing his music, please record all your reactions to his music. You got my sub.

Bro you just opened up a whole mf saga. Dope reaction. In musical and non-lyrical terms, a cadence is a few chords that end a bar.

Wow! I love the way you broke it down!! Great reaction!!! Keep doing more NF please!

You just got a new sub. Out of the many reactors I’ve watched, you are by far the best one. This is one of my favorite songs. I love how you break down every part/bar of it. It definitely gives me a new appreciation for this song.

Hahaha yo I’m just sitting here lookin at his face before the beat drops like “GET READY FOR IT BRUH”

I must say, for this being your first video of his, you really picked up on so much!

I've never seen a music video reaction as long as this one, and I still watched the whole thing because this dude is deep! Loved it

A classic reaction. Your channel has come so far, bud. Been subscribed for your whole NF journey. You have something special here. Thanks man. Keep it up.

Talking about the swings: "reminiscing of older times. Maybe this was the swings his parents had when he was younger when things weren't as hard as they are now." My friend you got a long ways ahead of you in the Nate Train. P.S. you did a VERY VERY good job reacting to this video. Definitely gained a subscriber.

I think you should breakdown his song "WHY"

I just watched this video for the first time and I've seen a lot of different reactions but yours is right on point (In my opinion). Thanks for the insight and clarity. :)

I like how you said there is not much to break down in terms of lyrics because they are pretty straight forward. That is one of the reasons why NF is my number 1 rapper. I love his music. He doesn't make it a mission for you to understand what's going on. He's a story teller

Im assuming the people in white are people who have come to terms with their burdens? They can handle them as they carry their black balloons "neatly" or close to the chest, as where he has them swaying in the wind or doesnt have a grasp on them?! The cart may represent himself...or his life? The clothing handed to him at the end might mean he is on the verge of following in their footsteps!?! Shot in the dark...great reaction! Also hit up NF's remember this track

5:33 “I like how REAL it is”

Old video, but just stumbled upon you Ernest. Love the NSYNC t-shirt... you sir are a legend. Also, your reactions seem genuine and you are enjoyable to watch. Thanks for the upload.
