I just got home from hitching the US west coast on a whim without any money whatsoever. I had some beautiful experiences and spiritual growth. Everything you need comes to you when you have nothing and know that everything will be okay. If money is the only thing stopping you then stop letting it. There's little to gain by staying in your comfort zone.
Your words are so true ❤ I’m living this experience too and it’s helping me understand the purpose we have here on our Mother Earth. Ask for what you want, put energy behind it, raise your vibration, be grateful and live in joy and loving the wonder of it all
Left London and hitchhiked across the Netherlands, Germany, France, Spain. Climbed in the Pyranees and the Alps. Swam in the Mediterranean, the Atlantic and mountain lakes. Around Spain, staying with strangers and couchsurfers, baking and breaking bread, ruffling and riffing sweet music with flour in our hair, travelling and talking and telling my story, brimming with hope and health from humanity at its most helpful. Life is wonderful, go put yourself in its way.
This song changed my life. For reals. I saw Nahko in a livingroom here in Eugene and I've never been the same. Thank you sweet man. You are one of my many gifts
Wow! From 12/14; my first introduction to MFTP, now 12/22 I finally refound this video that was such powerful healing tool from when I shattered with so called PTSD (response, not disorder). When in an instant my own breath, air that crossed my skin, all dimensions and movement became foreign and terrifying the only thing that could soothe was this video on repeat, perhaps thousands of times. Swaddled tightly, rocking, with the familiar conifers and soothing I began my healing journey. For this introduction I will forever be thankful to Arlo Stone. ♥️🙏♥️
Damn! I so appreciate this energy right now as I swim amongst the platform within now since 1957 Lake Celilo just below The Dalles Damn Washington side of The Great Columbia downstream of The Deschutes, upstream of The kKlickitat, my home. No mistakes. Just sacred lessons. Every breath a prayer I tear shit up while doin my groove thang. Wee and not so much. Whatever. Me and my maker are define. Natural Law Rules. ♥️🦅♥️
Shelby Gollan ive always thought of myself as a pessimist, but i guess im an optimist because id like to believe that right now we are in one of the best times to be 'alive' (or whatever the fuck it is that we are doing here). id like to think that every day people are seeing this song, or other music, or other videos and waking. or maybe they are just doing it on their own, without anyone else to splash water on their face but id like to think that everyone on our little spherical oasis is figuring out that we can afford to kill each other or the organic spaceship we live on (which is blasting though a seemingly infinite ocean of dark matter, in circles around a huge ball of nuclear explosions)
The universal mind/The never sleeping mind is within us all as oneness. We must open our hearts and let all flow together. Our Planet needs all the help it can get and we must give all we can. Aloha ke Akua Akua lele mi o Pele mi!!!!!!
"The Greatest Adventure is there if you're Bold. Let Go of the Moment that Life makes you Hold. To Measure the Meaning can make you Delay. It's Time you Stop Thinking and Wasting the Day." ----Tolkien's poems on adventure have been my mantra for the past several months. Now, two months from now I will be leaving Canada , leaving my safe beautiful mountainous-fish-bowl to go off to explore, live in a new country across the ocean, and start my exploration of this earth. Deep breath. You can do it.
I love that Nahko Bear tells of his journey into spirituality, waking up and raising his vibrations and frequency! Yes Nahko Bear tell it! Wake these people up to LOVE! Love is all there is!!!
They gifted you new eyes & you just gifted me that beautiful dance through the redwood curtain -3 i am in love w.you all for alll the happiness you provide!
I know the world will just love you Nahko,Hope,Chase!!!! and all the Co-creators who remember their divinity!!!! The part where you were typing the OH OH oo oH was funny!!
Had to choose but this is my favorite from these guys. Had the chance to see them not too long ago in Boise and immediately loved em. Really wish i could get my hands on tabs for this one! Either way thanks for the awesome show guys.
I work in Special Education with at-risk students. I play their music softly in the background and I can notice a difference. Let me know if you need any help with Grant Writing.
Where did you come from. Omg!! I’m 6 yrs so late. But I found you now!!! xoxoxoxo such a cool beautiful sweet powerful voice! great music, beautiful messages,! I’m so hooked.
I somehow prefer this version. As far as I can tell they are played different keys and this version seems more....original as to the others more produced sound. Nahko sounds best oh naturale lol
Intro: Sample of Bailey Scott] [laughter] Hit four, actually Okay, umm... Okay, so I kind of want to tell the story of this song It started off as a dream, or a [walk we went?] in the woods [Verse 1] In the moon of the budding trees I was gifted new eyes to see All of the shifting shape and ways you can be Wake the dreams into realities Wake the dreams into realities Sunset diamonds trickle down our cheeks The language of no words is how we speak Pachamama spinning firelight And a Little Bear singing by the fireside Out of this city with the wind on our neck, check That's us whistling upon your neck Moonlit diamonds sparkle into my mouth Feels like hunger and it tastes like salt Feels like hunger and it tastes like salt Chorus] So, tap me out and tap me into you Heal my brain and my body too Balance my chemistry, hydrate these cells Cause the body talks and meditation helps The body talks and meditation helps [Verse 2] A little bit of cinnamon pours as we snoot All up on my shit in the morning commute Coastal quiver on a quest through the dunes Sandy toes and bottomless curves of the moon Heavy lifting for Pele's children Hand of the goddess, soaking cliffs keep building Plate is full but appetite has dwindled I feel a little sick so I keep the fire kindled You, the pillar, steadfast light of bravery And I, the dimly burning candle still shaking Riddled fear, quiver my bones so easy Well, you're the guru now so visualize healing Yeah, you're the guru now so visualize leaving Let her go, for she can no longer feed you And many children need that mana creature Just barely missed you, I was finally ready But you are long gone, too much heavy history Yeah, you are a long gone, too much heavy history Let go of blame, that shit will never serve me Bless other men, investigate your mystery [Chorus] So, tap me out and tap me into you Heal my brain and my body too Balance my chemistry, hydrate these cells Cause the body talks and meditation helps The body talks and meditation helps [Verse 3] A little spider weaves a wispy web And stumbling through the woods, it catches to my head She crawls behind my ear and whispers secrets Dragonfly wiz by and sings "now teach it" Yeah, dragonfly wiz by and sings "now teach it" Fork on the trail, I watched you head up mauka I turn makai and whisper "thank you, sister" Edge of the west, where water touches land You are the east with folded maps in hand Time to increase my frequency Hands of light and bodies talking, yeah Give me some of that wild fox medicine But keep me here in this wild present tense Fully supported on new lover's chest Dawning adventures sparkle, get some rest Dawning adventures sparkle, get some rest [Chorus] So, tap me out and tap me into you Heal my brain and my body too Balance my chemistry, hydrate these cells Cause the body talks and meditation helps The body talks and meditation helps
Ever since I saw him in Bali, I've loved this guy's sound- I just wish he would develop his lyricism more. I want the sound of the music to touch me so that I can find its meaning myself. I don't want to be told how to feel or what to think by overly literal and cliche repetitive lines.
someday, i would love to go on such an adventure, the pure idea of it is exciting... I would meditate in the woods, meditate beside the calm shores of the sea, on mountains.... And all the while I'd be experiencing a connection with the world, and all the people more so than ever before:') the idea is enticing... But the thing is, as a young girl, I'd be fricken scared sleeping by myself in the wilderness, do you get what I'm saying xD ?

He's not trying to appeal to the masses. Hes expressing his beliefs which is how music should be.

Did you document anything? I’d love to see / hear more about it.
AFTER ALL THIS TIME, I STILL BELIEVE IN THE GOOD THINGS COMMING.
I can't express my gratitude to Nahko and Medicine for the People for giving me comfort when I needed it most.

Thank you for bringing Medicine to the Wookies. MN loves you
I'd love to see him here again in harmony park
I keep coming back to this song. I don't tend to feel spiritual, but this song makes me think in those terms sort of. And it feels comfortable.
its so beautiful to see people getting comfortable being there true selves again :3

I somehow prefer this version. As far as I can tell they are played different keys and this version seems more....original as to the others more produced sound. Nahko sounds best oh naturale lol
I agree :)
+Metalblaze124 agree - i like this simple version
they're the same keys
Metalblaze124 I absolutely agree. I also always prefer live Nahko over studio Nahko any day. Stronger soul feels ❤
Word
Lila wast'e! Awesome!
this song is called budding trees not new eyes
It used to be called new eyes. Budding trees was the name when it came to the album! both versions are great.
Correct
New eyes makes sense...I love Learning this....
beautiful piece :)
Unfortunately that URL doesn't go anywhere.
Gonna see Nahko & MFP this Sunday at the Kauai Homegrown Music Festival. Stoked!
Great video
Reminds me of Paul Simon. I love it.
this song got me through today.
I got the CD from Nahko, if you go see him or Medicine play at a festival or something, you can buy it directly from them :)
Hmm... Nahko has definitely had some BodyTalk done on him lol.
I believe this song is now called budding trees :) New album out soon!! GO NAHKO!
Namaste!!
..."don't be nervous, you can do this, you've got purpose, find your medicine and use it"-Nahko "Manifesto" ;)
wonderful Medicine!!!!! bIG hUGGES xoxoxo
Got to see them in austin a couple months back with soja. They were catchy. Anyone know what that tribal/ritual song they have?
HOOKED!!!
so good love it ^^
Aloha Ke Akua~~~~~
I fucking love this version, peace to all my brothers and sisters 😍❤😁🔥🍄🧠

I'm so happy to see these two comments. Nahko is amazing, and I hope so bad he returns to the ledges this year.
Que música gostosa de se ouvir....
Does anyone have a download link or something??? I need this song:D i can't stop listening to it :')
I'll share some unconditional love with Nahko :)
Pachamama spinning firelight*
Pachamama= mother earth
Pachamama = Mother U-N-I-Verse ;)
Actually, it was called New Eyes before it was called Budding Trees if I'm correct...
Intro: Sample of Bailey Scott]
[laughter]
Hit four, actually
Okay, umm...
Okay, so I kind of want to tell the story of this song
It started off as a dream, or a [walk we went?] in the woods
[Verse 1]
In the moon of the budding trees
I was gifted new eyes to see
All of the shifting shape and ways you can be
Wake the dreams into realities
Wake the dreams into realities
Sunset diamonds trickle down our cheeks
The language of no words is how we speak
Pachamama spinning firelight
And a Little Bear singing by the fireside
Out of this city with the wind on our neck, check
That's us whistling upon your neck
Moonlit diamonds sparkle into my mouth
Feels like hunger and it tastes like salt
Feels like hunger and it tastes like salt
Chorus]
So, tap me out and tap me into you
Heal my brain and my body too
Balance my chemistry, hydrate these cells
Cause the body talks and meditation helps
The body talks and meditation helps
[Verse 2]
A little bit of cinnamon pours as we snoot
All up on my shit in the morning commute
Coastal quiver on a quest through the dunes
Sandy toes and bottomless curves of the moon
Heavy lifting for Pele's children
Hand of the goddess, soaking cliffs keep building
Plate is full but appetite has dwindled
I feel a little sick so I keep the fire kindled
You, the pillar, steadfast light of bravery
And I, the dimly burning candle still shaking
Riddled fear, quiver my bones so easy
Well, you're the guru now so visualize healing
Yeah, you're the guru now so visualize leaving
Let her go, for she can no longer feed you
And many children need that mana creature
Just barely missed you, I was finally ready
But you are long gone, too much heavy history
Yeah, you are a long gone, too much heavy history
Let go of blame, that shit will never serve me
Bless other men, investigate your mystery
[Chorus]
So, tap me out and tap me into you
Heal my brain and my body too
Balance my chemistry, hydrate these cells
Cause the body talks and meditation helps
The body talks and meditation helps
[Verse 3]
A little spider weaves a wispy web
And stumbling through the woods, it catches to my head
She crawls behind my ear and whispers secrets
Dragonfly wiz by and sings "now teach it"
Yeah, dragonfly wiz by and sings "now teach it"
Fork on the trail, I watched you head up mauka
I turn makai and whisper "thank you, sister"
Edge of the west, where water touches land
You are the east with folded maps in hand
Time to increase my frequency
Hands of light and bodies talking, yeah
Give me some of that wild fox medicine
But keep me here in this wild present tense
Fully supported on new lover's chest
Dawning adventures sparkle, get some rest
Dawning adventures sparkle, get some rest
[Chorus]
So, tap me out and tap me into you
Heal my brain and my body too
Balance my chemistry, hydrate these cells
Cause the body talks and meditation helps
The body talks and meditation helps
