nelward - Twist

violin by Jonathan Park
Feels like i'm stuck inside a glass snowglobe
And every moment is in monochrome (gimme a light)
The stars up in the sky are light years away
Still I'm a waitin
For a new day
Its not the first time I've been in this place
Holding on hoping to exfoliate (you gave me a light)
And in the nick of time you called out my name
I was elated
For a new day
I need a cosmic twist to correct my ship
Cause I'm sinkin quick all the time (can't stop the way I steer the boat)
I need a seismic shake to correct my fate
Gimme a light, and the sun will shine
There's a miracle out there I know
I can hear it though it might not be close
There's a miracle out there I know
I can hear it though it might not be close
There are miracles before your eyes
All the time can you feel the light?
There's a miracle out there I know
I can hear it though it might not be close
There's a miracle before your eyes
All the time can you feel the light?
There's a miracle out there I know
I can hear it though it might not be close
There are miracles before your eyes
All the time can you feel the light?
There's a miracle out there I know
I can hear it though it might not be close
There are miracles...

i feel like nelward is some kind of water elemental. so many titular tracks of his have a sound related to it, like apple shampoo, sum of our sirens, and thru the nite. the melodies he crafts have a bubbly flow, and the mixing invokes the same ethereal sensation as the hallucinogenic murmurs a tub spout makes when you're alone.
plus, it seems like his most common place to play live is the city of atlantis

[@CrunchyBanter]

This is another common Nelward W. Hope you keep it up and don't burn out 💚💛🤎

[@retiredaccount6032]

He hasn't made anything in a good month I'm sure he's aight

[@StereoTyp0]

That bassline is too funky, falsetto so angelic, harmony is tight. Nailed by Nelward.

[@Mahdi_NG]

Twisting my joints to this one

[@Customfurball28]

I love this song so much, it's like a Lucid Scream-ified Gumdrops with extreme funk levels and the essence of Thundercat infused in it. Another Nelward banger!

[@readfood]

Nelward's songs are always unique

[@Rosem_Blossom]

Some friends they come they go.

[@stealeverything2]

I've been listening to your work for the last 4 years and I gotta say your music is truly unique and a very nice change of pace from most music I've listened to recently. You really stand out and I appreciate your hard work and passion. Keep it up bro

[@jjduncan8671]

Just felt like i should say thanks. I feel a lot of sympathetic experiences in your music, which might be projection. Even still it brings me alot of comfort and is probably one of the reasons I love your music so much. You have indirectly helped me a lot and inspired me to try and live a life i am happy with. Thank you.

[@xanderkhan7943]

You're not the only one! I've been through a bad breakup and I'm currently transitioning mtf - Nelward's songs have been a huge boon to my mood on bad days. Projection is the whole point of art! we see what we see and I'm sure he's delighted his music can help people :)

[@jjduncan8671]

@@xanderkhan7943 good luck with your transition. I am glad to see that you are moving forward to enjoy your life more. I am trying my best to "smash through" right now, and any once of positivity is greatly appreciated.

[@ketchup4596]

Dude what a fantastic song and teaser :o im so excited for an ambient EP with that nelward style omg. I love ur work.

[@Nelward64]

Just to be clear it's not a teaser for anything on the ambient EP! It's part of twist

[@balaclava__music]

​@@Nelward64 I've been dying to know how you make the strings jumping between two notes like you did in the outro for ages. May I ask what plugin you used for that effect?

[@theseerllama]

God DAMN I need to introduce Nelward to my parents, they'd love your stuff. My dad's a 60's and 70's song lover, and though this isn't exactly like what he listens to, he'd love it, I'm sure.

[@Glory2Snowstar]

Chilling with my cat under the Christmas tree to this, life is good.
Thanks Nelward :)

[@Zulf85]

right on time for new nelward - sounds funky as ever!

[@Mahoxy]

Man this is the stuff I love, feels like I'm listening to your old songs again for the first time... literally never gets old. :)
nearly 8 years man....

[@squidoverlord3362]

My manz really traveled across time and space all the way from kalos just to be here.

[@supermariolover20]

What a Twist!

[@frogmanjones6340]

It's so weird to listen to a music this good and look at the view count in 267. Like bro

[@abemcg3803]

This like if Thundercat and Michael MacDonald had a secret lovechild and out came Nelward, my new favorite, you just earned yourself a new fan 😊

[@KiteAppeared]

The ending is truly angelic

[@WaffleCake]

I adore the twist at 4:00! Major Breath of the Wild vibes. Two different artists, yet the music has such similar soul.🙏

[@SauloGoki]

absolutely, it would be a great reference

[@thegameboyguru]

Nelward is my favorite music man

[@pyctik3615]

YUPIEEEEEE

[@willh2739]

[@willh2739]

[@bigcat9489]

Another Nelward W

[@EmperorVitanius]

Reminds me of Who's gonna call your name because of this one instrument in the background being similar to the piano in that song

[@ggasos2376]

[@ceruheehoo3068]

New Nelward music is the best present I could ask for.

[@guyug6940]

4:00 reminds me of my time. The violin especially

[@phgumerr646]

Even though I don't dig it as much as your other songs (I prefer the more upbeat stuff), this still sounds absolutely amazing, the amazing violin at 4:00 onwards makes me cry while writing this. Nice job yall.

[@Sevrgpro]

THANKS

[@uhjn]

[@kuliobataluma]

Being your fan is hard cuz after every post i'm salivating for the next one till it arrives, then im hit by a rush of straight dopamine for 3-6 mins, then im back to waiting 1-3 months for the next one 😭

Nelward try to not drop a banger challenge level: impossible

[@mustacheknight7938]
