Nate maingard in the shadows

So this is what happens when a band writes songs in a secluded cabin in the italian mountains and then takes these songs on a pub tour from Munich to Dublin and back. On the debut album “Farewell to Fate” (Release: Oct 11th 2013) one can almost feel the sweat and taste the beer that accompanied the song's journey. If there is one band that deserves a pint or two then it is Young Chinese Dogs. This band only plays acoustic instruments that they can carry with their own two hands to the gig. No more, no less.

Long Way From Home

Slow It Down, from Nate's EP In The Shadows.

I know this to be true
That the world
Spins too fast
Leaves some folk behind
On this ship
Without a mast

Oh no no no

Somebody please
Slow it down
Slow it down
Slow it down

I see you beside the road
With your life
Packed in a case
I try to understand
But then you’re gone
Without a trace

Oh no no no

Somebody please
Slow it down
Slow it down
Slow it down

Somebody please
Slow it down
For a while
Slow it down

Words become a blur
And are lost
Misunderstood
But I’ll stand here on the edge
Try to catch
All I should

Oh no no no

Somebody please
Slow it down
Slow it down
Slow it down

Somebody please
Slow it down
For a while
Slow it down
Slow it down

Slow It Down

I wrote this song for my brother, who lives far away in Australia. Playing it always makes me think of how awesome he is, and also of all the people who I love and miss spread out all over the world. 

People are all so similar in so many ways, I hope we can learn to focus more on that than on our differences, you know?

Little Brother Lyrics
Keep on brother it’s all I can say
You know the way
You know the way
Wait up brother wait for us
I will walk beside you
With our sister it’s enough

Oh brother brother look and see
So many similarities
Oh brother brother you and me
We keep it simple
Little Brother

Shine on brother where you are
Kow that you still light me up
Even when you shine from far
I hug each sunrise cos I know
You made it warm for me
A little while ago

Oh brother, brother, look and see
So many similarities
Oh brother, brother, you and me
We keep it simple
Little Brother

And you know I’m always there
Cos I ain’t goin’ anywhere
You and I are not afraid
We keep it simple
Keep it simple
Little Brother

Little Brother

It's hard to open up my eyes
When I feel like I've been blind
All of my days, now I'm 
Wandering through the haze
And the world is looks so crazy
Maybe that's just me
Maybe it's just me

We all find our secrets
Patient in the shadows
Right there where we left them waiting
No matter how far we run
They run right beside us
Our demons know our names
Better than anyone

See me trapped within this construct
Beating at the locked up door and
Gripped tight deep within my fist
Is the key to all I've missed
That the pain is just the teacher
And the cage is just a myth

We all find our secrets
Patient in the shadows
Right there where we left them waiting
No matter how far we run
They run right beside us
Our demons know our names
Better than anyone

I spend oh so many hours 
Building up and giving power
To the worst I can imagine lives in me
And now oh to my surprise
When the ghost as me disguised
Is the best at breaking everything 
Everything, everything I dream.

You who presume you can stay dry by 
Dodging all the raindrops falling 
Thick, try lifting up your tongue
To the rain not just the sun
Nothing quite so simple
Was ever so much fun

We all find our secrets
Patient in the shadows
Right there where we left them waiting
No matter how far we run
They run right beside us
Our demons know our names
Better than anyone

LYRICS:
Way down there 
See you walking in the woods
Always wandering
Searching for a place
To rest your head

My head's full of locations
I imagine you have lain
I'm always wandering
Seeking for the signs
I know you've seen
What they mean...

Seek and you shall find
Life happens in its own time
Seek and you shall find
You know and I know
So seek and you shall find
Love happens in its own time
Seek and you shall find
You are always wandering

I've seen some 
Imprisoned by old secrets
They were keeping
Blind to both the night and to the day
What a shame

Seek and you shall find
Life happens in its own time
Seek and you shall find
You know and I know
So seek and you shall find
Love happens in its own time
Seek and you shall find
You are always wandering

You who walk with courage
Through the darkness and the light
Always wandering
Searching with a smile upon your face
Life's embrace

Seek and you shall find
Life happens in its own time
Seek and you shall find
You know and I know
So seek and you shall find
Love happens in its own time
Seek and you shall find
You are always wandering

Joshua Hyslop - Let It Go

Yes I Know

"Chameleon" is a celebration and coming together of a massive mix of different styles, and represents the way my sound draws from my experiences traveling the world playing wherever the next opportunity took me. Taking in the sights, sounds and smells of all these places and finding a feeling of home wherever I ended up by adapting, learning and listening to the way different people live has shaped the way I write and perform. This EP is the truest representation of my sound and songwriting that I have to offer. 

Wait

Enemy

Welcome Home, to a place we call The Wild Land. This is where your heart resides; where your mind surrenders to the wolf inside; where nothing is tame and everything fiercely defends the real; where the edge is just a step away and you are grateful for its enlivening presence. This is where we live. We invite you to come inside and stay for as long as you like. Come on Home with me.

Barefoot Romance

Meet One (Acoustic Version)

Alessi's Ark - Tin Smithing, from the album The Still Life, out April 15th on Bella Union.

Alessi's Ark - Tin Smithing

This song is about hope and the idea that happiness (love) is not a destination but a journey in itself, plus it's always right where we need it (inside us). We also get all these challenges to help us expand our capacity for feeling. At least, so I think.
As Buddha said: "There is no way to happiness. Happiness is the way."

Here are the lyrics:
If I woke up floating on the ocean
I would be hoping
Because hoping is a remedy
Combined with arms I’m blessed to have to swim me
And faith I’d find the shore

CH:
I am one of those who share this hopeful world view
Love is all we have; we have nothing we can lose
Let love out and let love in
Let love play and let love win
Let love out and let love in
Let love play and let love win

When I woke up left by her I trusted
My heart was busted
Now it’s reconstructed
Larger thanks to scars that stretched it
Wider, wider, wider than before

CH

Oh you wandering soul
You have found a home
Oh you wandering soul
Nobody is ever alone
You are not alone

While I slept I dreamed I saw so clearly
Thought I was really, oh so well adjusted
I awoke and regained all my senses
I stay curious, all of my days

CH

A moment I will never forget, when a group of strangers became my companions and friends and rose with me through the heights of what our voices can achieve when released with love.

What you do not eat I will devour 
Right down to the core 
Until the seed falls out 
Sinks into the ground 
And the tree bursts forth 
And the fruit falls down 

In the soft moist loam 
In the undergrowth 
Where all creatures know 
What that seed is worth 
I will lay me down 
And I will sink in too 
Just like the seed 
I will feed the new 

In the soft loam 
In the undergrowth 
Where all creatures know 
What a seed is worth 
I will lay me down 
And I will sink in too 
Just like the seed 
I will feed the new 

What you do not eat I will devour 
Right down to the core 
Until the seed falls out 
Sinks into the ground 
And the tree bursts forth 
And the fruit falls down 

And my leaves will wave 
Hello goodbye 
Hello goodbye 
Hello goodbye 

Yeah my leaves will wave 
Hello goodbye 
Hello goodbye 
Hello goodbye 

Can you hear them... 
Whispering 
Their secrets learned 
From the sun 

Can you hear them... 
Whispering 
Their secrets learned 
From the sun 

What you do not eat I will devour 
Right down to the core 
Until the seed falls out 
Sinks into the ground 
And the tree bursts forth 
And the fruit falls down 

What you do not eat I will devour 
Right down to the core
