about

With inspiration from his travels, Nathan's soulful songwriting speaks directly to the heart and takes you on a journey to pure bliss. Influenced by Nathan's trip to the Orfordness Lighthouse on the Suffolk Coast of England, his latest track, "All Together," takes an introspective look at how mediation can be the foundation for individual and societal healing.

Enter into a hypnotizing state of mind, with Mike 'Slo-Mo' Brenner's Chaturangui Indian Slide Guitar stylings as engineer/co-producer/multi-instrumentalist Pete Rydberg intricately blends his dreamy strums with acoustic folk-rock. Nathan's message, how human connection unites us all. The recurring symbol of the lighthouse, a beacon of hope and love transcending darkness. As you are swept away into the latter half of "All Together," Nathan chants the compassionate mantra "Om Mani Padme Hum," which embodies the Buddhist path of enlightenment and freedom from suffering.

lyrics

There's a castle in your head
And a war machine
Built for fight and for flight to survive
There's a hungry ghost
In an endless siege
To consume everything all the time
But there's a lighthouse there
in the distance it beams
with the love of all humankind

So let's go down to the river
Sail into the great unknown
Let's get lost, all together
Ride the rough seas and storms
Face the enemies as they come
Taste our victory one and all

Together we will find, oh yeah
We'll find our way back home
To the blissful state of mind, oh yeah
We'll find our way back home

As the church bells ring for the latest sin
For the power, for the passion, the pride
As our jealous kings will say anything
To mask their hatred for the commoner's lives

Still the lighthouse there
in the distance it beams
So c'mon let's all do or die

So let's go down to the river
Sail into the great unknown
Let's get lost, all together
Ride the rough seas and storms
Face the enemies as they come
Taste our victory one and all

It's gonna take a little time, oh yeah
But we'll find our way back home
To the blissful state of mind, oh yeah
We'll find our way back home

And though the lighthouse beams forever
so does the fear to resist the shine
but if we reach on through together
endeavor each to hold the line
together strong we'll sail forever
into that blissful state of mind
that blissful state of
om mani padme hum
together we will find
om mani padme hum
it's gonna take a little time
om mani padme hum
together we will find
om mani padme hum
