NAHKO, Mastermind und Frontmann von NAHKO AND THE MEDICINE FOR PEOPLE hat sein Solodebüt "My Name Is Bear" letzten Oktober via Side One Dummy Records veröffentlicht. Von jener Platte koppelt der Songwriter aus Oregon den Song "Goodnight Sun" aus und stellt diesen unten inklusive Videoclip vor.
NAHKO kommentiert die Single wie folgt:
"When can I leave this shell body behind me? Join you in setting the moon up for rising?" Some lost lyrics to Goodnight Sun... I remember sitting at the lookout near Kealakekua Bay, writing this song into existence. It started as a freestyle sunset song. Just me and the ocean and the sun. I carried those lyrics as a prayer for so many years. It became my salutation song, a reverent nod to the symbiosis between sun and human body. It's been a joy to bring the song back after so many years, breathing new life into it. Josue and I had a blast making this playful video, as well. A look into life on the road and a mirror to life at home. I wanted the expanse of nature to be witnessed here, the glory of Cascadia in Oregon, and the home where I grew up. Enjoy!”
