Auddie and Douglas, Yes, I'm really his mama, birth mama. Thank you for your kind words and yes, I'm glad he makes you laugh and has changed the way WE all look at things. He serves as a reminder to all of us that we should love and let love in all the time. Be blessed always y'all. Love & Light Mama Bear
Auddie, yes, I've always known ever since he came back to me that one day he would do something big. Creator has a bigger plan for him than I could have ever imagined.
This Music is truly healing.. Brings out the inner soul and cradles it in the spirit of nature and harmony. Thank You Nahko Bear.. Keep up the healing..
Come back to Iowa! I missed out on the opportunity because I didn't hear about you until I spontaneously found your videos and fell in love with your music. I've always appreciated soulful music like yours and it's refreshing to hear songs with heart.

a million thank yous for keeping this medicine coming! I only discovered Nahko a week ago and I haven't listened to anything else since. Makin my kids crazy! lol. Plz bring live medicine to New Mexico soon! Big Love:)
Need to put that mic (or two of them) close to or behind the piano hammers on the other side of the music stand-close to the strings. Then get an SM7b with the thick pop blocker pointed right at your voice. Will help a lot. Also, consider locking the damper pedal for an intimate song like this. Cheers and all the best to you, brother.
Nahko has no idea what he’s inspired those hidden to manifest into this world. Understand these words and see the bigger picture. It’s those works of art which we make to describe our Pursuits that hold a divine meaning not intended by the words. Remember the seconds verse and think about the current situation in the world, especially stocks. Everything has a beginning and an end, and if we all realized what power our thoughts and words truly held when directed the proper places, we would be shocked at what is and isn’t reality. What we want to see we will see. What we don’t want to see, we will see. It’s the passion behind the thoughts of many that manifest the reality we know, past-present-future. We are reality, and when our thoughts come together they shape our reality. In religion people call this prayer, but it’s simply creation. Not a god, but an act of god no different than any other incredible feat of nature. The last 2 years we have been forced to think the same thoughts in all their varieties and we see that effect on the world. Could you image what we could do with other things on our minds and hearts than fear and death?
As his mama its nice to read the comments. Thank you all for your long loved support.
He is a very creative soul.

Its amazing..did you ever think hed be as big as he is, such a defining voice for so many who feel voicless?
Auddie, yes, I've always known ever since he came back to me that one day he would do something big. Creator has a bigger plan for him than I could have ever imagined.
This guy floors me with his talent. He moves me. He was deffinatly born to heal through his music.
Every "Nahko + piano" song is a miracle.

I said...
Gotta watch out for the ones with the horses...
Hang on for the ride of your life...
Keep your eyes peeled for tracks that’ll cool your tail
Watch out for what they do
Can I build a bridge to Kingdom Come
Can I build a bridge to Mount Zion
Can I build a bridge to teacher Chung
Can I build a bridge to save the west
Can I build a bridge to to the other side
Can I build a bridge to to shut my eyes
Can I build a bridge to tell no lies
Can I build a bridge
Can I build a bridge bridge bridge
Said, prepare me for, for long battle
I am a witness, hold crystal bullets
I drop the hatchet, you won’t forget this
Said, prepare me for, for long battle
I am a witness, hold crystal bullets
I drop the hatchet, you won’t forget this
Said mine eyes have seen nothing but trouble
You must make peace with them Gods and them Devils
I can be rude boy, I am not subtle
I tend to sneak in and burst all them bubbles
We are them ones we been waiting to rumble
I torch my enemies hot with a candle
Music is the weapon make empires crumble
We bring them bankers and wealthy to tremble
What we know is what we're owed
Can't be too careful, shoot flaming arrows
Hitting them wicked, burning them bridges
Said, what we know is what we owe
Can't be too careful, shoot flaming arrows
Hitting them wicked, burning them bridges
Said…
Said,
I’ve come to build a bridge
So come let's build
Build build build
I have come to build a bridge
So come let's build
Build build build
I have come to build a bridge
So come let's build
Build build build
I have come to build a bridge
So come let's build
Said,
I rep the misfits, not the society
We struggle with housing, drugs and sobriety
We're not from here but born here respectively
Immigrated cuz America raped my country
My bridge ain't built with no white man money
I'm on Indian time you know you cannot rush me
I can be vicious malicious and ugly
A danger to darkness, you better run quickly
What we know is what we're owed
Can't be too careful, shoot flaming arrows
Hitting them wicked, burning them bridges
Said, what we know is what we owe
Can't be too careful, shoot flaming arrows
Hitting them wicked, burning them bridges
Said...
Oh,
Life was pretty crazy I was 9 months old
Yeah, momma gave me up, 14 years old
Said, I don't give a shit grandmother that she was so bold
Some of the rapist mommas body got sold
Not to say poppa didn't have a good soul
Cuz he didn’t give me the anger, I was born so cold
Raised by a Christian in a white neighborhood
There was no bridges for me and my indigenous blood
I said I'm confused, identity crisis
Indigenous mastery is so timeless
Now I'm building bridges so that it will all make sense
Why I'm here with the music so passionate
Said, Gotta ride hard or die trying
Said, I am the rain cloud storm white lighting
I am relentless stop at nothing
I'm el coyote bridges building
building building building building building building building building building building building building building
I’ve come to build a bridge
So come let's build
I’ve come to build a bridge
So come let's build
I’ve come to build a bridge
So come let's build
I’ve come to build a bridge
So come let's build
I Said,
I rock the one feather on me neck,
Said, must stay humble, never be like chief headdress
Hang the flag upside down I'm in distress
Never take no title out of deepest respect
Welcome to Aquarius son you’re a legend
Guardian of the gate it's gate number 7
I tame that beast and I ride the dragon
I reincarnate as a wild stallion
What we know is what we owe
Can't be too careful, shoot flaming arrows
Hitting them wicked, burning them bridges
Said, what we know is what we’re owed
Can't be too careful, shoot flaming arrows
Hitting them wicked, burning them bridges
Said, I've come to live in peace
So come let's live
Live live live
Said, I've come to live in peace
So come let's live
Live live live
I have come to live in peace
So come let's live
Live live live
I have come to live in peace
So come let's live
live
Said, my people my earth, my country, my heart
In service for ever, a mission to bare
My passion my fist, my heart open it
Reclaim, recover, protect, clean, watch
Said,
I've come to build a bridge
So come let's build
Build build build
I have come to build a bridge
So come let's build
(mouths* oh my gawww!)
Dennis Ball
The very last sentence of the final pre chorus is
Reclaim, recover, protect clean water*
Thre3TimesScorned it wont let me edit it my comment anymore.... strange.
I think he may say, "Can I build a bridge to teach their children." Good on you for posting lyrics:)
I wish he tracked more on piano. I'd bet money he says "Reclaim, recover, protect clean water" toward the end, just my 2 cents.
WOW YESSSS TY 💕
Well I'm sold.
Build that bridge
merci...
Come, let us build :)
a million thank yous for keeping this medicine coming! I only discovered Nahko a week ago and I haven't listened to anything else since. Makin my kids crazy! lol. Plz bring live medicine to New Mexico soon!
Big Love:)

Classic
I go to the University of Iowa.... there are a lot more pianos here where that came from. ;)
Well naturally because it's on a beach and I'm there! :)
Beautiful voice though... we just want to hear it better! Be encouraged, and keep going. =)

Does anybody have the lyrics for this!
I'm responsible for at least half of the views.

Build Bridges, Not Walls.

Does anyone else think he's bob marley reincarnated :P
I've always seen him as a mix between Marley and Paul Simon.

I know of a GREAT piano here on the beach in the Caymans.. Even better than Grand. *hint hint*
