Nature's Neighbor "January Again" Live at DAVADA Coffee & Records Nov 2nd, 2024
Mike from Nature’s Neighbor performs “January Again” from Wind City Airport at DAVADA Coffee & Records 5th Year Anniversary Celebration, November 2nd, 2024.
It is such an honor to be asked by someone to perform regularly at their establishment. It means that they respect you and what you do. For Go-san, the owner of DAVADA Coffee & Records, the respect is mutual. This was my third time performing at his little spot in downtown Kyoto and even though I’ve performed here twice before, I still get nervous every time.
Every performer knows it’s not the huge venues that make you nervous, but the small intimate venues where the crowd is right in your face that gets the beads of sweat to accumulat...

"Holland" Sufjan Stevens cover, 京北
Просмотров 9614 дней назад
Mike from Nature's Neighbor performs "Holland" from Sufjan Stevens' 2003 classic album Michigan. ネイチャーズ・ネイバーのマイクが Sufjan Stevens の曲「Holland」のカバーを披露。 I've always been a huge Sufjan fan. Back in my college days, I listened heavily to his albums Illinoise and Age of Ads and that music became a part of my DNA. But it wasn't until I moved to Japan a decade later that I would finally get into his alb...
BLUE (Mai Yamane & The Seatbelts) Cowboy Bebop OST cover
Просмотров 8822 месяца назад
Mike from Nature's Neighbor covers the song Blue from the 1999 Soundtrack album COWBOY BEBOP BLUE. I'm always blown away by the sheer amount of compositions that Yoko Kanno created for the Cowboy Bebop OST. The massive collection of recordings that her and her band The Seatbelts conjured up for this beloved anime series is really quite incredible. And there have been many different variations o...

Nature's Neighbor - Time Traveler's Folk Blues
Просмотров 1753 месяца назад
Mike from Nature's Neighbor performs 'Time Traveler's Folk Blues' from their 2020 album Wind City Airport. Although this song was released in 2020, it actually dates all the way back to 2013. It was originally written for 見知らぬ人, the last You Me and The People album. There are actually two different recorded versions of the song. The first one is on 見知らぬ人 and was recorded in a friend's living ro...
Nature's Neighbor - 'Don't Let it Bring You Down' (Neil Young cover)
Просмотров 1563 месяца назад
Mike from Nature’s Neighbor performs ‘Don’t Let it Bring You Down’ from Neil Young’s legendary 1970 album After The Gold Rush. What can I say about Neil Young other than he’s the fucking man? Neil’s albums from the early 70s have been such a massive influence on the later era NN stuff that it’s literally impossible to overstate. The dryness and unrefined beauty of albums like Harvest, On the Be...
Nature's Neighbor - 'Indecipherable Dreams' solo electric
Просмотров 1313 месяца назад
Mike from Nature's Neighbor performs 'Indecipherable Dreams' from their new full length LP Projection. This song is probably the track I'm most proud of on the new LP. 'Indecipherable Dreams' is the only track on the album that I completely recorded myself. Other tracks may have drums recorded by Seth, Bass recorded by Jed or Piano recorded by Terrill. But every layer on "Indecipherable Dreams'...
Life Update #9 (What's Next for Nature's Neighbor?)

In this life update, I go into my plans for the future of Nature's Neighbor. I talk a bit about the relief of finally releasing our new album Projection as well as not wanting to write new songs while still feeling the urge to continue recording music. I think that Nature's Neighbor is moving into a completely different phase of existence and I hope that I was able to somewhat get across what m...
'嵐の前の静けさ' (Calm Before the Storm) Final Fantasy X OST cover

Mike Walker from Nature’s Neighbor performs his cover of ‘嵐の前の静けさ (Calm Before the Storm)’ from the legendary OST of the world renowned video game Final Fantasy X. Final Fantasy games (especially VII, IX & X) were a huge part of my high school years. I obsessed over those games and completely fell in love with the story, gameplay and most of all, the gorgeous OSTs created by the legendary compo...
Nature's Neighbor - Those Wedding Bells
Просмотров 984 месяца назад
Mike Walker of Nature's Neighbor performs 'Those Wedding Bells' from their 2020 album Wind City Airport. I wrote this song over ten years ago in reaction to my parents divorce. It's kind of an angry song written from the perspective of someone too young to really understand why seemingly strong adult relationships sometimes fall apart. This song has a strange history. I originally recorded a de...

Nature's Neighbor - Condor Avenue (Elliot Smith cover)
Просмотров 945 месяцев назад
Mike Walker from Nature's Neighbor covers "Condor Avenue" from Elliot Smith's 1994 debut album Roman Candle. I've covered Elliot Smith on this channel before but I've always wanted to take a crack at this song, as it's my favorite form his debut album... or maybe second favorite... The title track is pretty amazing too. I haven't uploaded in a while due to a pretty acute case of burnout. I just...
Nature's Neighbor - Lluvia
Просмотров 1176 месяцев назад
Mike Walker plays 'Lluvia' one of the best tracks from his 2009 debut solo album With Hindsight. Man, this track really takes me back to my senior year of high school. The beginning of my high school career was for me, as it is for many, extremely uncomfortable and awkward. I went from being a confident 8th grader to being a tiny little shrimp of a Freshman in a big school that didn't seem to n...

Mike from Nature's Neighbor covers the title track from Jim O'Rourke's seminal 1999 Drag City sophomore release Eureka. What can I say about Jim O'Rourke? First of all... he's the man. A compositional genius who has served as a massive inspiration to me and my friends for years. I'm originally from the northwest suburbs of Chicago and Mr. O'Rourke is from the City of Chicago. So we share the sa...

'The Sore Feet Song' cover (Ally Kerr) Mushishi OST
Conmovedor!!! Jeff Buckkey es mi artista favorito.
Nice! He’s my favorite singer too!
I'm always happy to see another upload and this looked like a fun place to play at! I really like this song too, it's just a great performance
Always good to see you in the comments 😊 thanks for stopping by and watching! Glad you like the vid 🙏
Deberias intentar alguna cancion de Jeff Buckley
ruclips.net/video/kPCCYvByaeQ/видео.html&ab_channel=Nature%27sNeighbor Gotcha 👍
Awesome perfomance!! Very emotional thanks for sharing!!!
Okay this is hands down THE best cover of this song I've ever heard! You played this with so much soul and strength, it brought me to sobbing tears lol 😅 thank you so much for sharing this with us
This is amazing man.
Stunning cover of such a great song! This happily goes onto the playlist next to Steve's version. It's nice to see you are a genuine fan who loves this OST too, it's really some of Yoko Kanno's best work!
Good to find another person as passionate about the music of Wolf’s Rain 😊
I'm really into your Wolf's Rain covers, just found the channel and binge watching them all now. It's truly an amazing anime OST which I've reguarly obsessed with for years. You've been nailing every song. The only thing missing is some Raj Ramayya covers would enjoy to hear your take on covering Strangers. Maybe you could venture into songs from the Made In Abyss OST as well another classic which I feel is spiritually connected to Yoko Kannos work.
Thanks so much for your comment! I’m glad you are digging my videos. And that’s actually a really good idea to try covering Made in Abyss songs. I just finished rewatching that series again so it’s fresh in my mind. Also, I totally plan on covering “Strangers” 👍
@@natures_neighbor I'll be waiting for it! ☺
Good stuff, keep it up Mike. I just found you today but can feel a connection right away with what I've heard. Looking forward to see where this goes.
YESSSSS FINALLY U COVER THIS SONG ❤️❤️
More!!!!!! 🤗🤗🤗
More!!!!! 🤗😎😁
my exact thoughts
he did great man
It sounds very different from the original version but your cover has nothing to envy of the original one, your cover is still very good, really, great job.
Beautiful!!! I love it!! Greetings from Perú!!!!
Great performance man ! Love the wolfs rain music 🔥
It's quite rare situation, but this is BETTER than original.
Ooh, I don’t know about that… But I very much appreciate the comment! 😊 🙏
Loved it! Good job!
Great job dude!
You are just amazing.
Greatgreatgreatgreat
Yes!!!
This song resonates and (hopefully) unites TRUE music lovers.
Thinking about my funeral. (If I somehow can get RICH ...I'd like YOU to ge the guy who gets to sing! --------------------------- despite all that, I like your voice! (And especially the effort you put into THIS particular song!) ...but, dude Go be free! Be YOUR self! (You are young!) Enjoy and be horrified by the things that you will experience! Stand TALL (take no BS!) Be true! (To yourself!)
Thanks for those thoughtful words my man, I highly appreciate them. Much love. I hope you're living your life to the fullest as well!
Love this song and your voice is incredible! What a perfect fit for it Also your guitar is stylish af
Thanks! I try to modify all of my guitars a little to make them a bit unique.
прекрасный кавер!
YESSSSS
omg imma check all ur the seatbelts covers

Thank you 😊
Wow, this was beautiful!!!
Thank you for introducing me to this channel today! Of course, I subscribed 👍🏻 I think the singing and performance are amazing 👏 I really like it 👍🏻✨ I want to watch more videos 😊.
Yeah damn those belts are beefy!!! Great job dude
Lyrics: I close my eyes and I keep seeing things Rainbow waterfalls Sunny liquid dreams Confusion creeps inside me raining doubt Goota get to you But I don't know how Call me, Call me Let me know it's alright Call me, Call me Don't you think it's ‘bout time Please wan't you call and *Ease my mind Reasons for me to find you Peace of mind What can I do To get me to you I had your number quite some time ago Back when we were young But I have to grow Ten thousand years I've searched it seems and now Gotta get to you Won't you tell me how Call me, Call me Let me know you are there Call me, Call me I wanna know you still care Come on now won't you *repeat Ease my mind Reasons for me to find you Peace of mind Reasons for living my life Ease my mind Reasons for me to know you Peace of mind What can I do To get me to you
You sang the melody beyond perfect. 👏
❤❤❤
Watching and listening over and over! This version is TOP OF THE NOTCH!!
Congratulations on the cover, I'm a fan of Pink Floyd, despite living in Brazil, thank you for this recording! I fucking love Pink Floyd.
Nice nice nice nice nice 🤙🤙🤙🤙🤙
I don't remember hearing the original song, but this cover was awesome! you have a really strong voice and the guitar always complements it well. The dam and the field shots were really pretty too I really liked the cinematography!
Suitably epic! Don't know what it is about this song, but when sung "right" it feels like the most heartfelt ballad ever.
I was 13 y/o watching the ending chapter waiting for Spike to get up (still), and then the song starts, the birds flying and the star fading... and you captured the moment in your song, thank you.
I hadn't subscribed the first time I saw your cover videos. I'm so glad I subscribed a few days ago!
You literally picked the hardest song from the Cowboy Bebop repertoire, man those vocals are quite a prowess !
Magico! Gracias por esta canción maravillosa que me transporta a dias inolvidables! Saludos desde Argentina
You knocked it out of the park! This is one of my favorite songs from the OST.
Incredible cover man, your vocals were insane is this one. My favorite cover is probably still your Heaven’s Not Enough cover, but this cover is amazing too
glad you're healing up man that sucks it happened when you were about to make a video! stay safe out there, love your videos and your creative process!
Good luck with your injury.
I'll be waiting for the new video!
I hope you'll like it!
Looking forward to that Cowboy Bebop video and good luck for the days to come ! EDIT: Currently listening to your last album and loving it so far, the dreamy vibe and elaborated chords you use remind me of Robert Post in the early 2000’s, whose career unfortunately reached its peak right before RUclips appeared (making him fall into oblivion afterwards) with his song “Got none”, I highly recommend it as well as “Big Boat”. Anyhow, I hope you’ll get the success you deserve and wish you a good day !
Thank you so much for giving my new album a listen! I work hard on these videos, but the albums are the projects that I really pour the majority of my energy into, so I'm glad to hear that you've been enjoying it! I gave "Got None" a listen and I liked it. It has a kind of bouncy Beatles-esque quality to it that kind of reminds me of an album by Sean Lennon called Friendly Fire. It's crazy how many artists I still haven't discovered yet despite years of studying popular music history... Cheers!
@@natures_neighbor The comparison to Sean Lennon is indeed on point, and especially vocal wise, nice one ! Yes I can hear how much work you’ve put into your album, enjoying it thoroughly little by little and will continue listening to it today. Have a good day !
