This song is written from the heart of an addict trying desperately to live right by his family and the Lord.  The song is very acoustic driven with a build up at the end featuring screaming vocals and Djembe.

Patrick William

Nate Schierman re-visits the old story called "The Emperors new clothes."  Much like the Emperor was exposed and humiliated in the story, Schierman faced public humiliation during his struggles addiction.
    This story brings things back around and offers hope for those who learn from their mistakes, and come out to be a servant to others.
   Schierman does spoken word as both scoundrels in this tale re-visited.

Fall forever

The Emperors nudity

This song is about a man caught in the grips of sexual addiction.  The track is very alluring and almost lustful in appeal, which is to paint the picture of the individual being pulled in this direction.  The other direction offers freedom but nights of loneliness without the fulfillment of flesh.

Sweet nothings

Wrote from several experiences, Schierman sings an extremely sad song here.  There are three different stories told and each one of them have a harsh truth to accept.  In the end, that's just what they do and are able to simply say "Such is life."
    The sound is what we have grown to love and expect from Schierman over the years.

Such is life

Inspired by a sermon preached by Joe Filancia, This song begs the question "Could you walk off the Bible and walk up and down my heart?"  The words take us back to Job and several moments in the Christian's life where they are hit with a huge amount of despair.
   Musically, this takes us to the synth pop sound Schierman is leaning towards on his newer works.  But he keeps us close to home with enough organic instrumentation.  This is a must hear from this record.

Up and down my heart

This song is based on the "Footprints in the sand."  Musically this takes on more of a Dave Matthews feel which was an obvious influence of Schierman's early on.

The Fine Print Upfront

Putty in your hands

Putty in Your Hands

This song touches on a few different subjects.  Mainly it is an invitation for us to agree to disagree and just let things be when we see things differently.  Also, Choosing forgiveness over resentment.
     Musically, this touches on some folk almost country sounding guitar which is rare for Schierman.  But he replaces any twang a guitar would give with his solo piano on the bridge.

Fair trade

This song is a love song filled with regret.  The man is always leaving and staying gone way too long.  Their Love is starving, yet the other hangs on and awaits his return. 
   Musically we hear cello and strings show up and Schierman make the acoustic and piano blend perfectly.  This is definitely a song you need to listen closely to.

Cinderella's ball

This song tells the story about a break up only one person wants to go through with.   This song was recorded in 2004 and has been a b-side for several years.  Musically, it sounds very much like Schierman's acoustic music does, progressive and passionate.

Heartbreaker

This is the title track for the new album.  Simpy put, this song is just a cry for reassurance that two lovers will be together on the other end of any mountain ahead.
    Musically, it's very much what you have grown to love from Schierman.

This is the studio acoustic version.  This version really captures the raw emotion and the meaning behind the song a lot more.

Up and down my heart (Acoustic)

This is a very honest depiction of a break up.  This break up involves both parties moving on with somebody else and the aftermath and the pain of that decision.
    Everything about this song is sad both lyrically and musically.

Point a to b

Nate Schierman first burst onto the scene in 2003 with The Nate Schierman Band. The band saw mild success commercially and quickly became known for their passionate live shows. 
Schierman toured with and shared stages with such names as Allen Stone, Vicci Martinez, Tal Bachman, Presidents of the United States of America, Tyrone Wells, John Oszjaca, Desperation Band, Paul Wright, and Above The Golden State. Nate was also characterized as an artist deemed “Most Likely to Sell It” by the Spokesman Review, and has also been featured as a producer and studio musician on over 20 albums. 
From 2008 to 2018 Schierman stepped away from music to deal with several personal issues in his life. During this time he wrote and recorded several songs that are now being released online. Some of the songs are captured live moments in time from his short career. Others are honest cries or bold statements from a man in the midst of addiction and pain. 
These songs are now available to you and they are for you. They are not solely about Nate's battle as they are about the battle we all face in the world today. Songs from the album "Warrior" fit this mold completely. While other songs give us a breath of fresh air with Love songs, worship songs,and songs simply telling an honest story. 
Nate Schierman has been called many things over the years, But we are left with his raw and sometimes vulnerable music to apply to our lives, relationships, and most importantly, our relationship with the Father.
