Put on some headphones and let the music wash over you. Without a doubt, one of the best performing songwriters out there. The music comes from his soul. Four chords and the truth. ‘Nuff said.
We dont have long Highways, but driving on the German Autobahn and hear this fantastic Music and Voice is exact like the Slogan from our large and best Car Company BMW: The Principle of Joy!!!!
I can longer make it through a day off work without playing Nate & NS-several songs...so glad I stumbled onto this stuff earlier this year! Easily my new fav band
My grandpa died a month ago from Covid, I´ve been listening to your songs, this one just breaks me into tears because it makes me think of him, what he lived and saw in 99 years, my memories with him and how he left me. This song has helped me a lot accepting it and not going to a dark place. Thank you for this.
Me and my son took a day and spent it together floating around in the lake listening to your songs. These are memories I'll never forget every time I hear your voice. It takes me back to a simple place where there are no worries or pain and everything is ok.
This song hits me so hard every time I listen to it! Nathaniel Rateliff is a fantastic songwriter! Keep up the good work Nathaniel I love your music!!👍👍
The older you get, the more relevant this song becomes. I'm already tired of the disappointments, the regrets, the funerals. And I'm not much older than Nathaniel Rateliff...
Awww... I L💖ve this song. Coming back home to see my Daddy & he's done the best for our grandparents non stop to them passing. My Grandpa was shocked I found out we are Yakao which I knew we are Miwuk from my Grandpa. 4 months after she passed. My dad resides at her home which is now his. Thank you Universe, Great Spirits, Great Ancestors of our tribes & surviving like true soldiers of the California Massacres. I feel you all with me. Thank you Nathaniel
I loved this song from the first time I heard it. It moves me to get up and dance, every time. One day I may find someone to dance it with me. In the meantime, it's still alright that I dance with myself. 61 & loving this song.
I love this song SO much that I can't play it just once. Bought the album, but this song won't let me listen to the other songs nearly as much as this one. Love love love.
I'm from the UK but intend on moving to Kaernten as soon as possible, my favourite place on earth. Love NatRat and the NS, his music is great when driving around your beautiful mountains! Feel free to message me anytime, would be great to get to know some Austrian folks who love this kind of music 👍🏻
My first reaction of course was wow this is fantastic...then I wondered how many takes it took to get this the way he wanted it. After the 15th listen, I bet he nailed it on the very first take. Damn this is good.
Lyrics: It ain't alright, the hardness of my head Now, close your eyes and spin around Say, hard times you could find, it Ain't the way that you want But it's still alright Late at night, do you lay around wondering? Counting all the lines, ain't so funny now Say, times are hard, you get this far, but it Ain't the way that you want I'll be damned if this old man don't Start to count on his losses But it's still alright They say you learn a lot out there How to scorch and burn Only have to bury your friends Then you'll find it gets worse Standing out on the ledge With no way to get down You start praying for wings to grow Oh, baby, just let go I ain't alright, you keep spinning out ahead It was cold outside when I hit the ground Said, I could sleep here, forget all the fear It will take time to grow Maybe I don't know Hey, tonight if you think about it Remembering all the times that you pointed out Say, the glass is clear but all this fear Starts a-leaving a mark Your idle hands are all that stands From your time in the dark But it's still alright Source: LyricFind

Found Nathaniel on my first tour with my band while I was traveling to New Orleans,Texas ,Memphis and Nashville. Each time I think of that trip I have his music playing like a sound track to those memories. Thank you

My life has been shit of late and when I need to let it out I listen to this song and it pours out of me like water bursting through a dam, but it's still alright.
“Start praying for wings to grow”
Now that’s just beautiful
My favorite part

The sign of a great song is when you can strip it down to its essentials and it still sounds phenomenal. This is a great song.
This man is a therapy for me I swear
I can't even watch this video because my eyes are full of tears 😭
Your songs are some of the best to listen to when driving down a long highway with nothing else to do but enjoy the moment
We dont have long Highways, but driving on the German Autobahn and hear this fantastic Music and Voice is exact like the Slogan from our large and best Car Company BMW: The Principle of Joy!!!!
I listen when driving on the motorways to mellow me out, I get annoyed very easily while driving 😂
@@richardchamberlain7713 you should give it a shot
Well said😍
I pity anyone to have a heart so cold to dislike this song.
Agreed
Your music touches my soul and makes me feel a bit better. ❤️❤️❤️
This is a very special song for those times when you’re just plain tired of all the crassness and tumult in this world.
I can longer make it through a day off work without playing Nate & NS-several songs...so glad I stumbled onto this stuff earlier this year! Easily my new fav band

Lyrics:
It ain't alright, the hardness of my head
Now, close your eyes and spin around
Say, hard times you could find, it
Ain't the way that you want
But it's still alright
Late at night, do you lay around wondering?
Counting all the lines, ain't so funny now
Say, times are hard, you get this far, but it
Ain't the way that you want
I'll be damned if this old man don't
Start to count on his losses
But it's still alright
They say you learn a lot out there
How to scorch and burn
Only have to bury your friends
Then you'll find it gets worse
Standing out on the ledge
With no way to get down
You start praying for wings to grow
Oh, baby, just let go
I ain't alright, you keep spinning out ahead
It was cold outside when I hit the ground
Said, I could sleep here, forget all the fear
It will take time to grow
Maybe I don't know
Hey, tonight if you think about it
Remembering all the times that you pointed out
Say, the glass is clear but all this fear
Starts a-leaving a mark
Your idle hands are all that stands
From your time in the dark
But it's still alright

Badass.
Don't think twice, it's alright

I've seen him play this with capo on the 2nd and 3rd frets. Sounds nice on 3rd fret, IMO 👍

Thanks for the lyrics. I want to try to learn this song on the guitar. Song is amazing.
'Enter'

be
useful
Super pumped for you to be coming to Amarillo with Bob Dylan. It’s going to be best. Stay well my brother.
I pray for the people that gave this a thumbs down. Hopefully one day they’ll be able to SEE.
God damn this is good. Shout out to the invisible stool too!
2 years later, this is still good and I still like the stool 😂
My life has been shit of late and when I need to let it out I listen to this song and it pours out of me like water bursting through a dam, but it's still alright.
Hang on pal
We can't make it to Minneapolis this year, but your sold out anyway. Maybe next year, at least we have these videos. Stay safe Nathaniel.
Wow
Cool :-)
