  • Official Audio for "Ghosts Embodied" by Nahko And Medicine For The People
    "I connected so deeply with Ghosts Embodied as there have been many moments in my life that I experienced what it's like to be a ghost while the world passed me by without notice for how I felt or what my thoughts and dreams were. The open road and traveling are such great motifs for self-discovery, truth seeking, adventure, and a sense of belonging which I think all of us search for at some point in our lives." - Dylan
    Thank you Dylan for your video and kind words. We are so touched when the Tribe makes such beautiful and meaningful creations. Keep sending your art to us WE LOVE YOU

      What a wonderful song and what a great video. How nice it was of him to share so many hours of his time with all of us. He clearly put a lot of love into his art. What a beautiful thing it is for someone to create art in the honor of the art you created. And I'm sure that Dylan is very thankful that you honored him by noticing his efforts. It seems as though you've been BLESSED in many ways. I wish you the best to you on whatever path you choose.

    In Buddhism there is something called "the hungry ghost." They are beings who are driven by intense emotional needs in an animalistic way. This song reminded me of that concept.

    Everything Medicine for the People makes is just so beautiful, so high vibration, it almost puts me to tears every time! Each day I listen to your songs with my two year old on the way to his school, and he sings along with his apache mescalero "uncle Nahko Bear".
    He asked me yesterday if he could sing like uncle Nahko someday, I said "yes of course, you already do! Just keep singing about all the most beautiful, inspiring things, places, and people..."

    *(Intro instrumental)*
    Well I'd like to be enjoying the, height of a giant,
    Or the will, of a great chief's son,
    But I'm somewhere in the middle, with my feet slippin' off the pedals,
    I'm a two legged bent at wounded knee,
    And my silence turned to thoughts, am I in constant disbelief,
    I exist personified as the truth,
    Do I live life like a thief? or am I just reading energy?
    That which I teach, through my teeth, becomes what I preach,
    Oh I sure would like to live without the burden of commitment,
    Not attached to any person, place or thing,
    But it's such a heavy load to carry nowhere alone,
    I am hopeful but tiring,
    Because some of us are ghosts embodied,
    Like a face or a figure in the flesh,
    What you saw was a reflection of a moment,
    It was never really ever there,
    It was never really ever there,
    *(short instrumental)*
    Well I sure would like to thrust all my shadows to the dust,
    Oh purify and may justice be served,
    Such an old man for a young man, understanding what he can,
    Of a blessing and of a curse,
    I'm a ghost taking a form, a very temporary form,
    May it be uncommonly found in a grove,
    I choose a community of trees over a community of buildings,
    And I know I don't seek this alone,
    Yes I know I don't seek this alone,
    Because some of us are ghosts embodied,
    Like a face or a figure in the flesh,
    What you saw was a reflection of a moment,
    It was never really ever there,
    It was never really ever there,
    *(Long instrumental)*
    Well I'd like to set afoot, and have myself a look,
    Around the bend of the great red road,
    I would offer up a pipe, for the chorus for my life,
    For the guidance and wisdom to know,
    That...
    Some of us are ghosts embodied,
    Like a face or a figure in the flesh,
    What you saw was a reflection of a moment,
    It was never really ever there,
    It was never really ever there,
    I choose a community of trees over a community of buildings,
    And I know I don't seek this alone,
    Yes I know I don't seek this alone...
