This song definitely made me cry cuz my older brother (not blood related) played this for me while I was struggling and doing heroin... It made me bawl my eyes out happy to say I'm a year and a half clean almost 🙏 thanks to all the beautiful people in my life and guiding me home 💕 jerry garcia helped a hell of a lot too ❤️💙
Awesome 👏🏼. My older brother is neck deep in a bottle, it hurts so much I’m numb . I wish I could say this would actually register with him. Stay on the green and serene path, you’re worth it🧡
@@falconcarwash435 I understand the feeling my friend kept drinking even thought it would cause his seizures to act up more often. It was at the point if he'd have seizures if he drinks too much or not enough. Eventually we all told him he can't go on doing this shit, it'll kill him and I told him there's no way I'm burying your ass! I hope in the 9 months your brother has gotten better? Sending love and hope brother!
So much love and positivity in the comments, I’m crying from all the love. They have changed my perspective on life but these comments changed my perspective on humanity. Stay beautiful and positive. ❤️
Margaret Hanrahan if you go back to the icon of Nahko it will play the song again. Just come back to this reply screen or type in Nahko and Medicine for The People- Dear Brother- Paste Studios 3/7/2018. I hope you can put this on repeat and be scooped up by Mother Nature 🌬💗
Tapped in to next level unity... Sell the hope, belief and vision that things can be better... With our thoughts, words and actions, things will be better!
Nahko, young man, you're a beautiful spirit. I'm an old woman but I just love your music, and the artists and musicians you connect with are always as talented as you are. So thank you, son, and keep up the good work. Beautiful.
"You gotta put down the weight/wait...You gotta get out of your way"💛 I dedicate this song to my Son.❤ May he find his way back. We love you, We miss you!!💕💕 Trevor🌼 Please know your not alone on your journey. Your past doesn't define you. There is a future YOU can BELIEVE IN. Please call, write, I'm cryin'😪, yet remain positive that you are finding your spirits way that knows it's worth!❤🌻 Love Mom
as one whose been down the same path as your son it sounds, I pray he learns to love himself and finds a passion that makes him see his true self-worth.
I shared this with my ex a few days before she overdosed on heroin. Now I listen to it to remember her, and the fact that we never got a chance to work things out. I like to think that she put down her weight the only way she could….and that i will see her again one day
Was listening to this during the battle with quitting fentanyl. Now that I am clean from that and getting lower on all meds and soon to be off, this song is much easier to listen too. It took Jesus for me. Not only am I delivered from addiction but it appears my life is coming together. Ask god to find you, to reach you.
Ahhh Nahko... he speaks to and from so many souls. A gift. A translator of the collective. A Truth speaker. Bridge builder. Collaborator. Always grateful 🙏
I'm a 12 year addict... I'm 29 now... my boyfriend died a few months ago ... he wasn't using or anything... so u could say I'm struggling... I've been to over 10 funerals in my life... all young, beautiful people... all good friends.. there is nothing left here for me... there's no justice but there is for you!
Mikayla Pazzi I cannot agree more. Bernie has good intentions and intuition. It is gonna take more than songs of justice or freedom, but never stop demanding what we all deserve. Love and guidance. Warrior mentality, my responsibility. Let us all create heaven within and be a grateful light balance. Love life, everything is connected 🌍🌬🌊🔥💗
Unfortunately he went into hiding shortly after that Bernie sanders show after being ravaged with accusations of sexual misconduct from his fan base 🤢 very sad situation. He’s a gifted man with a message to share but he struggles with his own demons and past and heritage.
😭 such a beautiful song. I lost my mom to suicide 7 years ago. I'm 28 now and wish I could call back my mother. My memories of her have faded and I don't like talking about it but you bring out the feelings I think about daily. I have become someone I wish I wasn't. But you my friend are teaching me to be better and to simply just love life again. Thanks Nahko and I can't wait for my life to be back to what it was before I lost her.
You didn’t lose her beautiful man. You’re just looking for her in the wrong places. Your feelings are valid tho. I know what that darkness and emptiness is like. Feeling it creeping in and trying to escape it. Come to Pyro Music and arts festival in Ohio this June. Medicine Circle will be there in full force. Love you brother
Some people are so stuck in there selfish ways that they forget the other lives they affect. I am one of those people. I hope I can get unstuck one day. What a Beautiful song 🤍
The fact that u are concerned with how your life affects others proves u are already in motion as u are already thinking about others!!! Great job!!! People like u really make a difference in so many ways!!! U are inspiring and brave!!!
I have worked my whole life to make you guys proud. I can't believe it, but I can finally say that i'm doing it!!!! PhD from UCSC, six years of PostDoc! I just kept patiently waiting for my time to shine. It's time!!!!! Only because Nahko gave me the strength! Tim and Max are amazing on this track. My favorite musicians of all time!!!!!!!!!!!!!
My girlfriend first showed me this song a few weeks into dating her.......had some awesome people do a cover of it during her memorial service. It was always one of her favorite songs
It's a beautiful song. I hope you're doing well, I know that loss can be so so strong. I'm sure your girlfriend was an incredible human and I'm so so sorry for your loss.
"You came from Love, practice it again and be who you really are, created by love, for love, with love. Show it by bearing your fruits, fruits of Love."
Nahko Bear Thank you for this song I lost my older brother 2 years ago. He was my best friend he was my protector I always felt so safe when he was with me. He struggled with heroin use and homelessness incarceration for 25 years. I always tried to prepare myself for the day I would get that dreaded phone call that he was not longer on earth with me. He had such a beautiful soul he would help a complete stranger. After he passed I gave up on life for awhile. I went through psychosis last year. He looks similar too you. That I for real thought he was reincarnated into you. I would watch all your videos and I really thought it was him. I ended up going to a physiatric hospital for 2 weeks. I finally came out of it after about 4 months. Thanks to the great spirit. I’m doing so much better now. I thank you so much for sharing your soul with us all you got me through the toughest time on this earth. God bless you. Come to San Diego please so I can see you perform in person.
Vanessa u are beautiful and strong my dear ❤️ I also experienced psychosis with the death of my brother. Psychosis happens when we no longer can make sense of reality because sometimes reality doesn't make sense and it's overwhelming to comprehend the new reality moving forward. U are not alone and I am happy u are feeling better 💓 I am with u.
I love this music. I also love Satsang. Not even my ptefered style of music overall but it's been really speaking to me and giving me that feeling of your spirit being lifted to a place where you can actually somewhat make sense of all the craziness and burdens life delivers to us daily. I'm glad to have found this. Stay strong everybody. Life is beautiful.
I totally understand this. I found Trevor Hall, Satsang and Nahko when I needed them most. Really helped battling one of the hardest mental health periods of my life.
Dear brother When you gonna call back your mother? She thinks you're sleeping in the gutter We both know you can do better When you gonna write your older brother? A letter Hey man I miss you, gettin my shit together And for the record I wrote this note as a reminder Hermano mio there's a future We can believe in It's gonna take more than songs of justice and freedom There's a furture, we can believe in Gonna take more than songs of justice and freedom Freedom! Yeah If you're thinking, about leaving Hold my hand, understand this too can be a kingdom Blessed And when the rain comes Put your hands in the dirt, baba this is where you came from This is where you came from This is where you came from This is where you came from Systems broken no fucks given Wealthy people living off the backs of the broken Dreams of America Dreams of America Need a pipe carrier Let me smudge you off so the vision can get clearer Your mothers crying boy can you hear her? What I see, in you A young tree bearing fruit Place to start Don't hide behind your heart You gotta put down the weight You gotta get out of your way You gotta put down the weight You gotta get out of your way Dear lover You can find me on the front lines covered In the blood and tears of another Brother, sister, mother Revolutions being broadcast on Facebook and Twitter There's a noise I can hear it when the megaphone roars Wipe the tears from this tear gas choice We have a choice Stand in front of your fear, baby, time to find your voice It's a story A love story We can believe in Death, birth, your life's worth is trending It's a story A love story How vain are we to expect a happy ending? I got my hands up Follow directions still they shoot us I'm fucking sick and tired of no justice No peace Promise me I'll never pick your body off the streets We're all taking heat here The trust is broken I don't get these police Disenfranchised step in to a new life Maybe if you listen to the wind there's a war cry Peace in America Peace in America Be decent America I'm begging you
Nahko can take some really easy cords and make them extremely complex. His technique is absolutely amazing and beautiful. If you haven't listened to "We Are On Time" during his Skype Studio session it is a must. Simple cords...but when he put BEAR magic on it sounds like 3 guitars playing beautifully. We are blessed to have Nahko & Medicine For The People. Took my 9 & 10 YR daughters to their first concert in Redmond, Washington this summer and they left crying so happy. Nahko came down and hugged them during his last song....they even made a sign for him. Nahko has changed our lives. THANK YOU NAHKO!
I saw Nahko and MFTP for the first time in concert in Charleston, SC back in the spring. I was like your daughters...I cried. This music touches my soul.
This music has helped me get through so much it has helped me spiritually to the core of my soul I survived two brain tumors and now I am okay my husband is dying of cancer and when I need to meditate I come to these songs so thank you for sharing them
"While rich people live of the backs of the broken" hits me so hard. So many people are out there breaking their backs to just get by with bills while making no progress and slowly become trapped in a routine. Everyone has the power to make this life free and beautiful
I love the play on words too. It "rich people living on the backs of the broken dreams of America.." and how many people have given up on dreams for that "routine" you talked about! Deep!
Lost my best mate to suicide early 2020 and this song is ringing loud to me. Have shared the song with his mother and sister, as well as our good mates, all agreed it a beautiful and powerful song. Love it so much. Thank you.
This song always reminds me of my 3 brother the 2 younger ones cry out for their older brother and he doesn't ever answer doesn't help their struggling with addiction families not tight right now but it'll get better
I miss my brothers. I know we all live in our own world tho, wishing the best for each other. Sending love to them and all my brothers and sisters around the world ♥ Be the change
Yeah I feel like Nahko and Max were both impressed as he played. Not that they havent seen talented fiddle players before I'm sure and they are in their own right amazing fellas of course. But like you said the dude ripped haha
So much talent packed into one video, thank you! With another police-involved shooting of an unarmed black man in Minneapolis this week, this song has never been more relevant. Peace and Love vibrations to every single one of you reading this.
This Old hippie spirit has been waiting for new music with a soul....thank you. I found it JUST WHEN I needed it. Life is funny like that. Journey on...stay true!♡
This is my absolute favorite song by Nahko. I've seen it performed live a few times, but this version is spectacular. So much love! These guys are the best.
Never ever heard of this artist before today and I feel my soul, my whole being has been transformed. As an overwhelmed mother of two kids, married and have lost myself in being wife and mother 24/7, who suffers with anxiety and depression. This song, artist (along with Soja which I found out about just yesterday) has my spirits lifted so high. I am thankful for finding this all. Thank you! One world, one love. I love you all, wherever you are, whatever background you come from, you're important loved wanted and needed. 💙
❤️ this! I haven’t talked to my brother in over five years! Now my Dad is dying of cancer😭 And we are still not talking! This song gives me hope when I can’t handle it! Much❤️
If you haven't yet, stop what you doing & call, drive, walk, run. See your braddah if not for the last time before pops passes my braddah. Just lost my pops & there was alot I wish I said. There is such thing as too late.
me too, it really is hard... I don´t know if I can one day talk to my brother again. maybe when my parents finally passed away... not everyone has a family that is able to share love and be forgiven.
I first heard this song when I was in rehab. It was like a letter written directly to me. “Promise me I’ll never pick your body off the streets.” I’ve overdosed more times than I can count, but I’m getting better. My family will never bury me because of my demons.
Love me some nahko so peaceful and true to the core thank you your music has saved the human race for us that believe love sitting back having a beer just listening unbelievable
What I see in you... A Vessel... The Messenger. Nahko, dear heart... your gifts fascinate us, wake us, and make us present. You’re correct- We are the Ones- the Ones we’re waiting for. WE are the Change. I see you Brother- Dear Brother😉🙏🏼🌈💞
Nahko, this is beautiful, it brought me to tears....our paths and stuggles may be a little different but our love for each other runs deep. Stay rooted, be humble, and keep your faith.
This song is deep. This dude is a true lover. Everyone sits and has a noting to punch there own ticket just wait till you hear this. Don't listen to it actually embrace it. Made me cry so hard. Might have saved my relationship and my uncle. This guy's a blessing
Wow the Holy Spirit just spoke to me thru this amazing enlightening display of brotherhood. The world these days say take someone that has more spirit then you and beat best them. It's about being the best to the world in these times. These amazing men embraced each others spirits and became one in song and expression. It was so powerful I have tears. Christ just showed me how his Holy Spirit has sealed us. And together we are powerful and amazing. Thank you to the men that made this. This is a true display of true brotherhood and leadership. Real worriors in this life build and unite in spirit. They help eachother find who God created them to be. I pray blessings on these men. Thank you Father for this message you used these men to show me. Bless them and their journey in the faithful and powerful name of my king JESUS Amen!
My brother is having a hard time emotionally right now and I played him this song because it can mean so many things to so many people. You helped him feel just a little bit better knowing that this song made me think of him and what hes dealing with and how he needs to stop hiding behind his fears. It touched him in a way nothing has in a long time. Thank you.
My youngest son told me about your music. Though we are a generation apart our taste music is the same. You're awesome!! I wish you well on your journey my friend. The world needed you song. 💖💖💖
Never giving up. Even though my family pushed me in the dirt i got back up! Im stronger now because of you! 💜❤ I'm working on changing the world in my own way! People deserve it💜
Nahko, You are indeed a magnificent Storyteller and Singer. Thank you so much for your brilliant show in Cairns Australia recently. May your songs reach out to all corners of the Earth and beyond. We of the Earth are blessed by your light 🤗
Honestly I was in crisis and on the verge of calling 988, this song was playing when my youngest cried in her sleep and I stopped to nurse her back to sleep and I cried because I knew I needed help I was so flood so overwhelmed and this song helped pull me out of the depressive low and bpd dissociation
To my Son, I love you❤ When you gunna call? When you gunna call your older brothers and younger sisters? There's a future you can believe in! You have a choice. What I see in you, a place to start..put down the weight of all and the wait of what needs to happen. You gotta get out of your way! We miss you. You.💌 Hugs and kisses, Mom
My son didn't call for Thanksgiving or Christmas. I'm putting good healthy energy in the air. Mostly the belief that change is possible!!❤ However. This has me concerned because of his struggles. Pain in the heart effects some differently mixed with mental illness and drugs. He's 29. Please put out positive energy with me, that he has found his path. That he is strong, mentally, emotionally and physically. He I'd gentle, quite and has th he biggest smile. Trevor, I love and miss you❤! Mom
Nahko, your music is the most beautiful thing I have ever encountered. You changed everything. Thank you for the beautiful medicine, I will love it for as long as I exist.
I can't get enough of this song... This version especially... I've listened to it like 50 times in the last 3 days... Nahko thank you so much for making the most beautiful music... You've helped me get through some shit in my life... I love you all...
bless you nahko! i love his song it speaks to my heart so much after losing my big brother so suddenly... wish i spoke to him so much more... one love beautiful people
Beautiful sharing from all three. The horn is so subtle, almost like a bass. The lyrics heart stirring. The violin rolls and undercurrent that is strong with the guitar. so amazing. healing and peace work! thank you.
😭this was played at my son’s service..and I’m forever bound♥️💔 he had just turned 19 🪕 The words….💔🎶 Omg I feel every single string..strum….every time. I am here now because of him😂 How ironic🙏🏻♥️❤️♥️ thank you Nahko ♥️🇨🇦
Nahko it’s February 2021 where are you man? World needs the message in your music now more than ever. I hope you’re working on something good. Big fan from Alaska flew down to Redrocks 2019 to take my power back ! On Father’s Day sagittarius full moon with my wife and sagittarius son. Came home to Alaska and won custody of my boy! Nahko if you read this at all find your own power, take it back and re-emerge like the stallion ✌🏻
...powerfull healing for the people...music as medicine....nahko...lookn forward to joining you and your tribe live at folkfest in pagosa springs...higest vibrations...veganlov

It made me bawl my eyes out happy to say I'm a year and a half clean almost 🙏 thanks to all the beautiful people in my life and guiding me home 💕 jerry garcia helped a hell of a lot too ❤️💙
Awesome 👏🏼. My older brother is neck deep in a bottle, it hurts so much I’m numb . I wish I could say this would actually register with him.
Stay on the green and serene path, you’re worth it🧡
Well done my friend,, opiates are jist as bad in Scotland.. 🏴🏴🙏
Stay off the gear bro

I feel like the world needs to listen to this right about now
Yes
AGREE
Brings chills to my soul. Have felt and seen all of situations in my life.
It makes me think about Obama!
Absolutely!!!🙏🤲🙌❤️🌎☮️
So much love and positivity in the comments, I’m crying from all the love. They have changed my perspective on life but these comments changed my perspective on humanity. Stay beautiful and positive. ❤️
You are so
I agree... It gives you hope🕊💗!!!
Found this by accident, love it, but dont know how to get again. Help.

@@chrisludwig7964 ❤😊
i would play this when i was staying in a homeless camp and everyone was worrying about me and it pushed me into going to find help.. god is good
I shared this with my ex a few days before she overdosed on heroin. Now I listen to it to remember her, and the fact that we never got a chance to work things out. I like to think that she put down her weight the only way she could….and that i will see her again one day
Was listening to this during the battle with quitting fentanyl. Now that I am clean from that and getting lower on all meds and soon to be off, this song is much easier to listen too. It took Jesus for me. Not only am I delivered from addiction but it appears my life is coming together. Ask god to find you, to reach you.
God bless you my brother. Keep it clean and spreed the Word. ❤ you
"What I see in you/ A young tree bearing fruit" -- lovely. Something more young people need to hear.
This is what the world needs more of
Ahhh Nahko... he speaks to and from so many souls. A gift. A translator of the collective. A Truth speaker. Bridge builder. Collaborator.
Always grateful 🙏
Beautifully said 😍
So addicted to him and Trevor
You God it!

I found his music when I was watching the Bernie Sander’s Roundtable and Nahko performed. Honestly so grateful for finding this amazing artist.

Same. Look up Mike Love if you haven’t! “Time to wake up”, “I love you”, and a few others have very powerful lyrics.
Dear brother
When you gonna call back your mother?
She thinks you're sleeping in the gutter
We both know you can do better
When you gonna write your older brother?
A letter
Hey man I miss you, gettin my shit together
And for the record
I wrote this note as a reminder
Hermano mio there's a future
We can believe in
It's gonna take more than songs of justice and freedom
There's a furture, we can believe in
Gonna take more than songs of justice and freedom
Freedom! Yeah
If you're thinking, about leaving
Hold my hand, understand this too can be a kingdom
Blessed
And when the rain comes
Put your hands in the dirt, baba this is where you came from
This is where you came from
This is where you came from
This is where you came from
Systems broken no fucks given
Wealthy people living off the backs of the broken
Dreams of America
Dreams of America
Need a pipe carrier
Let me smudge you off so the vision can get clearer
Your mothers crying boy can you hear her?
What I see, in you
A young tree bearing fruit
Place to start
Don't hide behind your heart
You gotta put down the weight
You gotta get out of your way
You gotta put down the weight
You gotta get out of your way
Dear lover
You can find me on the front lines covered
In the blood and tears of another
Brother, sister, mother
Revolutions being broadcast on Facebook and Twitter
There's a noise
I can hear it when the megaphone roars
Wipe the tears from this tear gas choice
We have a choice
Stand in front of your fear, baby, time to find your voice
It's a story
A love story
We can believe in
Death, birth, your life's worth is trending
It's a story
A love story
How vain are we to expect a happy ending?
I got my hands up
Follow directions still they shoot us
I'm fucking sick and tired of no justice
No peace
Promise me I'll never pick your body off the streets
We're all taking heat here
The trust is broken I don't get these police
Disenfranchised step in to a new life
Maybe if you listen to the wind there's a war cry
Peace in America
Peace in America
Be decent America
I'm begging you
Thankyou so much for doing this.
;-(

Nahko came down and hugged them during his last song....they even made a sign for him. Nahko has changed our lives. THANK YOU NAHKO!
I saw Nahko and MFTP for the first time in concert in Charleston, SC back in the spring. I was like your daughters...I cried. This music touches my soul.
They were HERE AND I MISSED THEM?!
I love during the instrumental parts seeing that guy going so hard on the violin. You can see his passion.
These live jams are always so much better than the studio recordings - RAW
This music has helped me get through so much it has helped me spiritually to the core of my soul I survived two brain tumors and now I am okay my husband is dying of cancer and when I need to meditate I come to these songs so thank you for sharing them
"While rich people live of the backs of the broken" hits me so hard. So many people are out there breaking their backs to just get by with bills while making no progress and slowly become trapped in a routine. Everyone has the power to make this life free and beautiful
I love the play on words too. It "rich people living on the backs of the broken dreams of America.." and how many people have given up on dreams for that "routine" you talked about! Deep!
That is something everyone needs to learn
To make this life a wonderful Adventure.
Lost my best mate to suicide early 2020 and this song is ringing loud to me. Have shared the song with his mother and sister, as well as our good mates, all agreed it a beautiful and powerful song. Love it so much. Thank you.
This song always reminds me of my 3 brother the 2 younger ones cry out for their older brother and he doesn't ever answer doesn't help their struggling with addiction families not tight right now but it'll get better
I miss my brothers. I know we all live in our own world tho, wishing the best for each other. Sending love to them and all my brothers and sisters around the world ♥ Be the change
I lost my brother 5 years ago... this song is helping me heal. Pure Medicine
RIP Aitch Sinjun "Hey man I miss you, getting my shit together"
That violin solo was straight ripin
That's Tim Snider.
Yeah I feel like Nahko and Max were both impressed as he played. Not that they havent seen talented fiddle players before I'm sure and they are in their own right amazing fellas of course. But like you said the dude ripped haha
He slayed that shit!!
Yo! Thanks you all :)
Seeing this live was so powerful! A true love affair with his musical instrument. 💖
Wow I honestly just keep coming back to this song at least twice a day....very beautiful song
Does anyone else get goosebumps when Tim Snyder plays the shit out of that 🎻 at around 4:57?!?!
Yes actually. All over my entire body
Watching him shred bow strings live is pretty much the best thing ever
😲🙌🏽
Fuck yes!
I got them by the 1 minute mark. 😂
So much talent packed into one video, thank you! With another police-involved shooting of an unarmed black man in Minneapolis this week, this song has never been more relevant. Peace and Love vibrations to every single one of you reading this.
There is no limit how far your love and message can spread. Stay blessed Nahko. Thank you for the medicine.
Yes¡ ty 4 medicine x share creations opinions and Be @@@ty naks and medicine tribe ...¡♧♤♧
That last chorus part is unforgettable, love the chords and the melody. Can never underestimate the power of one voice and an acoustic guitar.
If my brother could have heard this ...
20 years gone.... 😭
Still an open wound in my heart 💔
Your music is the anthem of my journey.
bearded batman well said brother, i feel this too
:) i wish you a good journey ahead
This. Too true.
Hope your journey stays positive ✌🏼❤️
Haha a me too
This Old hippie spirit has been waiting for new music with a soul....thank you. I found it JUST WHEN I needed it. Life is funny like that. Journey on...stay true!♡
I am also a shaman and a medicine woman people don't believe in us anymore and I love your music because it grounds me to the Earth
This is my absolute favorite song by Nahko. I've seen it performed live a few times, but this version is spectacular. So much love! These guys are the best.
Never ever heard of this artist before today and I feel my soul, my whole being has been transformed. As an overwhelmed mother of two kids, married and have lost myself in being wife and mother 24/7, who suffers with anxiety and depression. This song, artist (along with Soja which I found out about just yesterday) has my spirits lifted so high. I am thankful for finding this all. Thank you! One world, one love. I love you all, wherever you are, whatever background you come from, you're important loved wanted and needed. 💙
I am with u!!! We are not alone!
Wow my dude! Powerful words!! “You gotta put down the weight, you gotta get outta your way!” Love ya and don’t even know ya!
I'm 62 and I love this music! Just bought Hoka, and will soon have everything they've done. Thank you Nahko.
Can I ask...what do you mean? 🌸Namaste
every now and then Nahko just hits the most beautiful and relatable tones with his song writing
More like every song 😁 he's beyond amazing
I swear this man is a gift to the world
❤️ this! I haven’t talked to my brother in over five years! Now my Dad is dying of cancer😭 And we are still not talking! This song gives me hope when I can’t handle it! Much❤️
Melissa Rosas love to you
Hope recovery has found your family
send your brother the song and give us an update XD
If you haven't yet, stop what you doing & call, drive, walk, run. See your braddah if not for the last time before pops passes my braddah. Just lost my pops & there was alot I wish I said. There is such thing as too late.
me too, it really is hard... I don´t know if I can one day talk to my brother again. maybe when my parents finally passed away... not everyone has a family that is able to share love and be forgiven.
I first heard this song when I was in rehab. It was like a letter written directly to me. “Promise me I’ll never pick your body off the streets.” I’ve overdosed more times than I can count, but I’m getting better. My family will never bury me because of my demons.
U are beautiful Leo!!! Courageous!!! Thank u for loving yourself because now u can love others!
We need u!!
Very intelligent young man...he is changing humanity 💕🙏
He does seem extremely intelligent doesn't he? #ChangingLives
Love me some nahko so peaceful and true to the core thank you your music has saved the human race for us that believe love sitting back having a beer just listening unbelievable
What I see in you... A Vessel... The Messenger. Nahko, dear heart... your gifts fascinate us, wake us, and make us present. You’re correct- We are the Ones- the Ones we’re waiting for. WE are the Change. I see you Brother- Dear Brother😉🙏🏼🌈💞
This, and Satsang, I Am, I listen to every single day. Thank you so much for being so straight forward and lovely at the same time.
Heard this artist & song during Bernie's recent online rally discussing the Covid-19 crisis.
Nahko, this is beautiful, it brought me to tears....our paths and stuggles may be a little different but our love for each other runs deep. Stay rooted, be humble, and keep your faith.
This song is deep. This dude is a true lover. Everyone sits and has a noting to punch there own ticket just wait till you hear this. Don't listen to it actually embrace it. Made me cry so hard. Might have saved my relationship and my uncle. This guy's a blessing
I will listen to this every single day for the rest of my life♥️💔🙏🏻
Wow the Holy Spirit just spoke to me thru this amazing enlightening display of brotherhood. The world these days say take someone that has more spirit then you and beat best them. It's about being the best to the world in these times. These amazing men embraced each others spirits and became one in song and expression. It was so powerful I have tears. Christ just showed me how his Holy Spirit has sealed us. And together we are powerful and amazing. Thank you to the men that made this. This is a true display of true brotherhood and leadership. Real worriors in this life build and unite in spirit. They help eachother find who God created them to be. I pray blessings on these men. Thank you Father for this message you used these men to show me. Bless them and their journey in the faithful and powerful name of my king JESUS Amen!
I love everyone stay strong while we as a planet go thru this trial. I pray the peace and love of Christ on everyone. Amen.
And...he does it again!!! Thank you Nahko; absolutely love your music!
Nahko I adore you, thank you for your beautiful sound, mind and soul. Thank you.
This is just hands down the best version of this song🙏🏻 I wish he would release this, acoustic/violin/trumpet version on Spotify🙏🏻 @nahko
Loving your medicine for over 10 years now, keep spreading love Nahko bear and medicine for the people.
Love it! No matter how many times I hear this song I still get goose bumbs!
My brother is having a hard time emotionally right now and I played him this song because it can mean so many things to so many people. You helped him feel just a little bit better knowing that this song made me think of him and what hes dealing with and how he needs to stop hiding behind his fears. It touched him in a way nothing has in a long time. Thank you.
Who would dislike this? This is so inspirational!!👊
My youngest son told me about your music. Though we are a generation apart our taste music is the same. You're awesome!! I wish you well on your journey my friend. The world needed you song. 💖💖💖
Never giving up. Even though my family pushed me in the dirt i got back up! Im stronger now because of you! 💜❤ I'm working on changing the world in my own way! People deserve it💜
Nahko, You are indeed a magnificent Storyteller and Singer. Thank you so much for your brilliant show in Cairns Australia recently. May your songs reach out to all corners of the Earth and beyond. We of the Earth are blessed by your light 🤗
This song is hitting hard with everything going on in the US and MN. #GeorgeFloyd
I know. Nahko is with us on the front lines. He is the medicine
I can’t hear no justice no peace without thinking of them. 💜
I didn’t know Minnpolis was so bad!! Won’t/don’t go there now!
Been a fan of his music since day one.. it's a shame that tragedy has to make his beautiful music be noticed
Trump 2020
Honestly I was in crisis and on the verge of calling 988, this song was playing when my youngest cried in her sleep and I stopped to nurse her back to sleep and I cried because I knew I needed help I was so flood so overwhelmed and this song helped pull me out of the depressive low and bpd dissociation
This song speaks to my ❤ heart!
Keeping your songs when I found them like their "mine"...now today I want everyone everywhere to HEAR YOU
To my Son,
I love you❤ When you gunna call? When you gunna call your older brothers and younger sisters?
There's a future you can believe in!
You have a choice. What I see in you, a place to start..put down the weight of all and the wait of what needs to happen. You gotta get out of your way! We miss you. You.💌 Hugs and kisses, Mom
sweetwildflower send it to him, pleeeeease!
My son didn't call for Thanksgiving or Christmas. I'm putting good healthy energy in the air. Mostly the belief that change is possible!!❤
However. This has me concerned because of his struggles. Pain in the heart effects some differently mixed with mental illness and drugs. He's 29. Please put out positive energy with me, that he has found his path. That he is strong, mentally, emotionally and physically. He I'd gentle, quite and has th he biggest smile.
Trevor,
I love and miss you❤!
Mom
These words are so medicinal and healing and life changing. Thank you. The solo at the end was like the pain leaving our bodies
Nakho you are one of the greatest artists ever. Love you so much ❤❤
Nahko, your music is the most beautiful thing I have ever encountered. You changed everything. Thank you for the beautiful medicine, I will love it for as long as I exist.
I can't get enough of this song... This version especially... I've listened to it like 50 times in the last 3 days... Nahko thank you so much for making the most beautiful music... You've helped me get through some shit in my life... I love you all...
bless you nahko! i love his song it speaks to my heart so much after losing my big brother so suddenly... wish i spoke to him so much more... one love beautiful people
Beautiful sharing from all three. The horn is so subtle, almost like a bass. The lyrics heart stirring. The violin rolls and undercurrent that is strong with the guitar. so amazing. healing and peace work! thank you.

Nahko you are such an inspiration. You are everything the world needs brother. Namaste🙏
Very Awesome. Nahko and the team are getting better. More grounded and solid in their purpose. More clarity and focus.
Nahko it’s February 2021 where are you man? World needs the message in your music now more than ever. I hope you’re working on something good. Big fan from Alaska flew down to Redrocks 2019 to take my power back ! On Father’s Day sagittarius full moon with my wife and sagittarius son. Came home to Alaska and won custody of my boy! Nahko if you read this at all find your own power, take it back and re-emerge like the stallion ✌🏻
That violin solo was epic!
