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

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.

Amigo anjo - George Lucena

Hushahu Family Encerramento

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
