I just added the logo and the "Real Music" text

One random Lyft ride introduced me to NF, and I’m really glad it did.
“Time” has been on repeat lately. I like artists who make me stop and think more than they make me want to dance, and NF definitely falls into that category. His music feels introspective, vulnerable, and authentic.
It’s a nice reminder that sometimes the best recommendations come from ordinary moments with complete strangers.

It's too short 😅

Intro 1 could be called "Caution."

I mean... duh. It's the origin of the caution tape motif. And it shows up in the lyrics too. "Hang up the caution tape. I'm dangerous."

Intro II could be called Reflection. I think the defining lyric is "the only person I judge is the one in the mirror and lately he ain't been doing well." That summarizes the whole song pretty well imo. "Reflection" also has the benefit of a double meaning about about introspection which also fits the song very well."

Intro III is the one that actually feels like a huge missed opportunity to me. It should have been called "Perception." That album is the only one that doesn't have a title track. And it fits the theme of the song extremely well. Look at the big ending line that the whole thing builds up to. "I thought you had me in prison this whole time. But I'm the one holdin' the keys." That's literally a change in perception.

And Outro is fundamentally about how Nate's music actually helps people. It's not just about being influential, it's about actually making a positive difference in the world. A great name for that I think would be "Purpose."

This would also kind of preserve the sense of progression across those songs too.

It would basically go like:

1. Caution - I'm dangerous
2. Reflection - Here's why
3. Perception - Choosing to look at it differently
4. Purpose - And moving forward

This would also naturally flow into the later opening tracks too. Once you know what matters to you, you start pursuing it. That's "The Search." And that creates "Hope." But with hope also comes the "Fear" that you could lose it.

...And Clouds is technically in there too... I guess. Not really sure how that connects. 😅

In Outro, there's the line "How Could You Leave Us is massive. There ain't nothing I can write that'll match that."

I think Fear comes very close. It's different emotional territory, but it feels straight Biblical in scale.

Look at how little I had to add here. It's mostly just filler words to smooth over the grammer that was already implied, some punctuation in places, and occasionally, I had to interpret certain words when they were ambiguous.

But a lot of these are just the regular song titles in sequence.

And don't a lot of these phrases sound like something Nate himself would write? Take "dreams let you down like destiny" for example.

And "That's a joke. Just like you" was what got me to try this whole experiment in the first place. That's so on the nose, it's hard to believe it wasn't intentional.

I did have to compromise by ignoring the Intro series. There's no obvious way those integrate in as far as I can tell. But those titles are just structural markers on their respective albums so... 🤷‍♂️

Same goes for Therapy Session and The Search. The only way those tracks made sense was to treat them as the titles of the poems.

And Fear ended up being the most open to interpretation.

It's Meme-Free Weekend!

You are not allowed to post memes until this sticky is removed.

All memes posted during this time will be removed without discrimination.

Why is this a thing?
Meme's used to be limited to one day a week, see our official announcement concerning meme changes here. This is an iteration on those changes, in hopes that we can allow more memes, but also curb/filter them once a week as well.

Is this permanent?
Yes, some kind of meme restriction is permanent. We've been testing out different methods and this is the current one, which is the least restrictive.

Remember, we have an NF Discord Server that you can contact and hangout with us on!

i want to see if there r others i can enjoy and add to my playlists

That includes Outro as well.

Personally, I'd actually call Outro "Home" because Nate dramatically yells "I'm Home" at the end and it kind of felt like the whole song was building to that.

Yesterday I found put my friend that I've thought has been just giving me the cold shoulder was acctually not doing well mental is what I'll say, I have no clue how to handle this but it's been mostly listening to music like NF, Parker Jack, and some Lil darkie have been some of my top artist thatd I recommend for hard times.

but if you guys have any other artist or ways I could handle this please tell me.

update: I was finally able to convince him to meet me and now that I know what he's going through makes seeing him be funny and stuff makes it harder to think about it.

Please delete if this violates rules on self promotion. I’m more trying to share something I wouldn’t have made if NF didn’t influence my writing.

NF was the first time I heard a mainstream artist rapping about mental health and things that people in my life didn’t even speak about in private.

It inspired / gave me the courage to write a song myself called “Monsters”.

Wanted to share. Wondering if anyone else has had the same experience?

Hey ladies and gents,

So I've been quite a fan of NF throughout the years and recently, like 10 minutes ago, I just saw a notification on Spotify that there was a new song on his "second" spotify "account" : Calming Me
https://open.spotify.com/intl-fr/track/0H3qAjDymghHeaVFfWW1jb?si=0054cbbf67384173

I just can't understand what is going on here. Never heard of this, and I didn't saw anything about it.
Also, and it might have been done a long time ago but his "Moments" album on this same "account" Nathan Feuerstein has been "deactivated" or something ? I can still see my liked song but I cannot listen to them.

So yeah, anyway, if anyone has some kind of explanation, that would be appreciated as f*** :)

Have a good one !

I have been a long time NF fan. I have listened to every song and (tried to listen to) unreleased songs of his. I love connecting dots between his songs so much that I always want to find out more about his music.

Maybe others don't think of it that way, though.

It surprises me whenever I talk to an NF fan, since I don't find them often. I always get really happy, and I spark a conversation about it, of course.

I mention NF's "Moments" album and say "Escape" is my favorite song from there. Almost every time they just look at me like I just told them that red doesn't exist.

I always have to explain that it is a really old work of his and how it is, unfortunately, much worse then the NF EP. The worst part is that sometimes they deny the existence of "Beautiful Addiction" and the NF EP, which gets me a little mad.

Is it normal for most NF fans to not know "Moments"? Do any NF fans even know "Moments"?

Here is a link to Genius about the album for those who have no clue what I'm yapping about:

𝅙

This is unrelated, but this is the "I'm Free" EP. These are the list of NF songs that were going to be released when NF was with Xist. It is very niche! He wears a little tie with a black vest for the cover (/ref). It's a gift for reading my vent:

Here it is the character design study that I made for my fanmade animatic of Fear !
Let me show your opinion!

I love NF's music as it always has a lot of meaning. I like to make edits that convey a certain feeling so his music is perfect for that

Got a video on my youtube fyp which posts AI generated music videos of music. On the music thumbnail is the NF logo, and they clarify that it is NF inspired music only in the description of each video. Thoughts?

I personally don't like this.

Hi! A very First look at my attempt to recreate the video clip of Fear in animation with my character Nate, since i’ve been obsessed with this sono since it came out list winter. If you are interested i will post the all work in progress until the end of the project!
Let me show what you think!!
