NF challenges a society that blames all of their problems on a God they frequently deny. In a way, it is a lament of feeling abandoned and distant from God. “Oh Lord” begins as a morbid image of ashes and gravestones. It is a compassionate outcry for his hurting fans with clamoring lyrics that are woven together with genuine care and empathy. This song is a reflection of testimonies he has heard from fans regarding their personal struggles and what his music has done for them. Similar to Justin Bieber’s “Purpose,” but much more articulate and profound, NF speaks about God as well as the meaning of the song in the title track, “Therapy Session.” NF’s music is not only therapy for himself but also for his fans. He instructs the audience to proceed with caution, saying, “If you don’t like music that’s personal, I don’t know what you people are doing, you might as well throw out the record.” He bellows powerfully, building momentum, projecting his path as a musician and reliving the judgements that his career is meaningless.
The intro to his second full length, Therapy Session, is like a warning notice addressing concerns and questions up front in order to set the record straight.
This record is for him music is his therapy. Listener discretion advised: NF doesn’t care about critics, opinions, or opposing tastes in music.
