      Just in case he sees this I truly think this is the general consensus with this man he brought an entire generation through the torture brought upon us by…pure evil. Just so you know the light in me honors the light in you #Nahko

      I am glad that I was able to save you. Long story short... I watched my dad died when I was six then my mother pretty much abandoned me.. I got dumped off with a fucking child rapist for the next several years like till I was I think 11 or 12... Raised in the fashions never harm women or children but men never cry as well that's what I was taught. And then I would see I've got two Ex-Wives I've got five beautiful daughters.... And I am a honorably discharged combat veteran.
      Second lieutenant, United States army, 75th Ranger regiment, 3rd Battalion.
      THREE 18 month deployments.
      And I didn't fit the stereotypical second lieutenant army Ranger. I did not sit on my ass and push a pencil or pen. Fuck that. You cannot command and order men and women in and out of battle without accompanying them because of somebody dies and you're not there... If you're not right there with them fighting that fight... Well I don't know about you but I couldn't fucken live with that.
      To say that I have trauma is a severe understatement. Riddled with a couple different types of depression and anxiety and the big one being PTSD that's really severe... I have ADHD and a touch of OCD as it turns out. I have something called dissociative amnesia that was brought on by the trauma throughout my life. For example... I don't remember meeting or marrying my first wife but it happened. My childhood teens and twenties and part of my thirties is very blurry to me I only remember a handful of events.
      and when I got home after my third deployment I went right to our house when I got off the bus because nobody was at the bus stop to meet me.. walked a few miles and the house had a for sale sign in the window and out in the yard. The grass was I don't know almost based high at that point.. so nobody had been there for awhile. I went in because the door was unlocked looked around and it was completely empty. I no idea where my family went. I walk back outside drop to my knees and cried my fucking hard out. And I snapped I'm not really ashamed or afraid to say I'm just saying I snap hard but I don't harm women. And they say that depression is rage turned inward. Well with me it certainly was because that's when my drug addiction started.
      Started off snorting the pills then it was snorting the dope the fentanyl heroin the methamphetamine and then I progressed quickly to the needle. Within like 3 months I think. That killed me three times and I don't know how I'm still alive. First time I died I was dead for 9 minutes. Somebody had to have been giving me CPR because 9 minutes without oxygen and I shouldn't be able to speak. Let alone even be alive.
      Stick with me cuz there's a point...
      First time I went to rehab and I'm talking like inpatient treatment five or six weeks at a time after a week in detox.. I relapsed 3 days out after my first time. My second time I relapsed after eight months out and the last time I didn't relapse and I am now three years 6 months almost to the day clean and I mean completely clean no relapse whatsoever.
      Checking the drugs was not hard for me but what was and still is to a degree difficult for me was getting away from the criminal element getting away from the lifestyle because it was pretty fast paced lots of women drugs money all kinds of nasty shit that I shouldn't have even been involved with and I'm thankful very thankful I'm not in prison no convictions whatsoever.
      I believe you when you say that this man's music saved your life. Because I know from my own experience it was almost like an Awakening for me. I was sitting in rehab it was second week into rehab and we had a group called music therapy. Now mind you I am aware that rehab facilities with men because this wasn't coed.. rehab facilities that are impatient with men tend to be set like a prison mentality. It was no different there. You don't want to show weakness to these motherfuckers. These are not the people to do it too I knew that. So I held my own it was whatever I made a few good friends but anyway.. so the gondola sessions version of Wash It away started to play and for the first minute-and-a-half I was really irritated I didn't want to hear it. I'm thinking to myself like I don't want to hear this fairy shit. What is this? This has nothing to do with recovery! Now I didn't say that but I was thinking it...
      I'm pretty sure that you're very familiar with the song. If this man's music saved your life than you've heard the song Wash It away probably countless times like I have. But this was the first time for me and I quieted my brain and I decided I was going to listen to it because there's nothing else to do in the moment and the lyrics in the second verse about three-quarters of the way through the second verse went as follows... "Today is a good day for my ego to die; today is a good day for my ego to die. Spirit live on, in my heart... In my mind"
      Well let me tell you what happened...
      I'm sitting in this rather large room and there's 42 or 43 other men in there. And when I heard him say today is a good day for my ego to die for the second time... As he was beginning to speak the next line in that verse I just cracked.
      that was my enlightenment that was my Awakening right there. That moment was the beginning of the rest of my life. In those moments I surrendered and acknowledge all my weaknesses that I tried to hide I dropped my head to the table and I cried and I cried hard. It was probably a very ugly thing to watch because I'm not a very attractive person when I am crying. It gets pretty bad because my whole life I barely ever did it and in these moments of lifetime of just horofix shit that I've done or if it's just that I've seen her if it shit that's been done to me or if it's just that's been done to people I care about and love it all came out. Everything from my childhood right to that moment.
      It all flashed through my brain in a matter of I don't know maybe 10 or 20 seconds it was pretty fast and when I tell you it was full color and very animated that's no joke. That kind of pain usually make people kill themselves.
      I ended up having a one-on-one meeting with my favorite female counselor and she asked me what was going on and I was still pretty choked up I was trying to explain it to her without you no crying again but I couldn't. It took a while but we had that conversation and she got up and she gave me a hug. And for the first time in a don't know many many years I had a shoulder to cry on. I didn't even know what to make of it all I knew was I wanted it and I needed it.
      over the next several weeks throughout the rest of my time at that rehab I began telling people about some of my story. And I don't ever try to take away from somebody else's experiences. My life is not better or worse than anybody else is my story is my story just like your story is yours. It's unique to you and you alone.
      That was 3.5 years ago like I said almost to the day. And since then I have healed quite a bit but I've also uncovered a lot more negativity and trauma. And I'll be honest with you.. some of the music from this man has brought that out of me it has purged it out of me. But it did it in a gentle way it wasn't a mean aggressive way like some music can be.
      Over the last three and a half years I have listened to all of this man's music quite a bit but there's about 15 songs in particular that I can tell you I've listened to all of those 15 well over a thousand times each. There's been days where I'm doing whatever and I've got my earbuds in and I have one of his songs on repeat for hours and hours and hours.
      so when you say that this man's music or this man saved your life I understand it. I truly do. Obviously from a different perspective all together but I get it and I don't doubt you.

    • @SouthOfSanity79
      @SouthOfSanity79 Před 11 měsíci

      This is part two of my message because I tried typing this once already and it wouldn't send the message so I had to start all over again so yeah here's part 2 of what I was saying...
      So in addition to the music of Nahko... I'm going to make another recommendation to you because of this man's music has moved you to your very core to your very essence and has saved your life like you say... Then this band that I'm about to tell you about if you don't already know about them.. they will definitely bring equality into your life or allow you to see things maybe a little differently. Between his music and the music of this band.. I have purged so much to the surface. And it is very painful and you know how painful it is I know you do. This man's music hasn't saved you a life with you all smiles and giggles that's for damn certain. Feel free to correct me if I'm wrong and I will stand corrected if so..
      so anyway the name of the band that I'm highly recommending that you check out immediately is poets of the Fall. They are banned from Finland. I first learned of them while playing the video game called Max Payne 2. Perhaps you're familiar with it? In that game there's a janitor who's fucking around doing whatever and he's humming and singing it kind of chopping it all the shit but he's doing it so tired at their first and then later in the game some more of the characters are playing it on a piano right before you shoot the guy in the back of the fucking head.. And then when you beat the game... You get to hear the original album version of late goodbye... That's the name of the song.. You hear the original album version. I was hooked immediately so I went on to whatever music software I was using to Pirate shit. This was right after Napster and WinMx. I don't know how old you are but if you know you know hahaha.
      That was two decades ago in 2003. I have every album I've got everything that they have released. All the albums all the singles etc etc.
      I hope that you humor me and check out that band and I'm going to be very specific here and I'm going to say that it's my personal suggestion that if you do check them out you type into your CZcams search bar exactly the following...
      Poets of The Fall - Alexander Theater Sessions - Full Album.
      That entire album is acoustical it's basically a collaborative mix of I guess you could say A greatest Hits album. Some of the songs are relatively new where they were at the time. So anyway there at this beautiful indoor theater of sorts in Helsinki Finland. There on the stage... And they're playing to an audience that isn't there. It's a cozy environment I think that place probably seeds no more than 400 people by the looks of it probably less than that probably closer to 300. The videos and the audio quality has all been done in high-definition I mean like 4K.
      voice is equally as angelic as the voice of Nahko.
      I hope you humor me because you really have nothing to lose other than maybe a few minutes of your time. And like I said if his music saved your life then the music of The poets of the Fall we'll probably accent and add to that a hundredfold.
      Anyway thank you for reading my ADHD novel of a rant with these two messages. If you do choose to check out poets of the Fall I would love for you to leave another comment here and tell me what you think of them. And maybe you can recommend them to some people might that might need it. And I say that because even though your life has been saved by this man's music... You got a ways to go. I know you do. If his music saved you than you've got a ways to go and I don't mean that in any kind of offensive way it's more of an empathetic understanding way. And in no way was I trying to take anything from your experiences because I don't know what they are it's not my business. I've said everything I've said so that you can understand exactly where I'm coming from. Now some people might read everything I've said... And start talking shit in the common thread. And I don't care if they do. I don't know those people doesn't matter. They matter but it doesn't matter what they say to me.
      Check it out. Feel free to leave another comment right here I'd love to know what you think about those boys.
      Several songs on the Alexander theater Sessions album had me in tears but a couple in particular.. One called children of The Sun and another one called The Sweet escape. Now with the Sweet escape... There's the Alexander theater sessions version.. while the entire album is kind of like a greatest hits album like I said but anyway there's two album recordings other than on the Alexander sessions. One of them is an English the other one is in French. Well I learned every word of the French one and I was going to sing it to the woman that I thought I would spend the rest of my life with. And 29 months ago well it didn't end very well and I have been flying solo since then and I mean I have not so much as hugged any women or females other than my daughters and my mom. Time to purge a little bit more. I do think I actually met hopefully the last woman I'll ever be with but we'll see.
      I have found that with getting your life saved and continuing to purge and bring it to the surface that allows you to work through it and I don't know pay off a karmic debt or whatever you want to call it... Eventually there does come a little bit of peace and tranquility with some things. I don't know where you're at with all of it but it will come eventually so long as you don't give up.
      Thanks again for reading this. Stay safe out there. And God bless 🙏

      I typically only have an emotional response to three or four artists total. He's definitely one of them. He saved my life. Quite literally. I heard the right song at the right time.. trust me when I tell you it was the right time. I will make two other suggestions for you. There's a band called Poets of the fall. They're from finland. Amazing music and vocals. If you do check them out my suggestion is to start with the Alexander theater sessions album. Every song was taken from a previous album but redone acoustically in a beautiful absolutely stunning theater in Helsinki Finland. The only people in the theater is the band. Trust me it's worth checking out.
      My next suggestion is a band called The Hu. Now these guys are mongolian. They do not speak or sing a word of english. You will not hear any English in any of their music. They did cover a couple of Metallica songs which was interesting to say the least. However.. if you choose to give them a listen humor me and start with the song called "Shireg Shireg".
      Diversion specifically if you do a CZcams search is called, "Jason Ellis Mongolian Throat Singing"
      That's not the name of the song but.. that's the version I recommend. You'll see why if you watch it. If you have an emotional response to Nahko... I'm willing to bet you will with those bands.
      Especially the second with that song. I had no idea what they were singing about. But I'll tell you right now I felt it. Oh did I feel it. I had tears streaming down both eyes well down both cheeks out of each eye rather.. maybe 70 seconds into it. Again.. I had no idea what they were singing about but I felt it. If you do check it out I'd be interested in knowing what your response is. Actually I'll save you the time here's the link..

    Lyrics-
    Came for the honey, stayed for a queen/ I was a fool to think she wouldn’t sting/ got me that letter, Jacob was saying, She’s got you wrapped around her finger, she ain’t playing/ Push me the right way, right on my wound and she said she forgave me/ but she resents me, oh what of the shameful things we do, when we’re afraid to speak our truth/ Sometimes the only kind of love is tough, sometimes the only kind of love I got is tough/ That shittt is tough/ Down on my river, full on disclosure, hail f***ing Mary; Are you calling that closure?/You call that sacred, tobacco pace meant, how can I trust your guides? To me they’re just strangers/ You couldn’t fix us, that drove me crazy/ I just couldn’t believe that, you thought it was all my burden to carry/ And no one can change me, only me I CAN do that/ That goes for you too, Those are some big facts Mmm Mmm Mmm/I couldn’t cope with what I’d done, she’d use my shame as a weapon/(chorus) shit outta luck, sometimes the only kind of love I get is tough, sometimes the only kind of love I got is tough. That shitttt is tough Mmm, Mmm, Mmm, Mmmm/ When I come home now, things are just different/ Coming to terms with, the things I’ve been missin’/That makes me angry, angry like you are/ But here’s the difference, I’ve learned to love my scars/ That makes me miss you, how fucked up is that?/ The way you loved me, where else will I find that?/ I didn’t think I had to watch my 6, with somebody that I thought I could trust with it/(chorus) shit outta luck, sometimes the only kind of love I get is tough, sometimes the only kind of love I got is tough. Sometimes no matter what you do, this shit is tough/ and that shittt is tough, Mm, Mm, Mm, Mm, Mmmm

    This is a song I never heard before I knew every single word I sang along in harmony hit every note every pitch felt every word In my core. Living a gay life is tough. Even the art at the end is something I resonate with. I'm healing too. Just not sure if I get to be me at the end of it all or if all of it is the end of me.

    The thing about Nahko, is he sings these stories that you're just so sure are exactly your own feelings/experiences, but obviously has deep and profound meaning to him as well! Obviously! Right. So, brother Bear himself expresses these beautiful arrangement of music put together, telling a story, weaving a picture...and you can identify with it in the depths of your own soul. And I think that's similar for a lot of people. And that's my personal opinion of why Nahko is one of the greatest musicians around & we are super blessed by being alive during some amazing musicians !! 💙🙏🏽💙 And I'm so very thankful 🙏🏽💜🙏🏽 Nahko, I Can't wait to see your face out on the road again!! Tour time!! 🪶🪶🪶🪶💚💜💛❤️

    I fell in love with your music few years ago, since then I can still listen to your songs and still I feel so...... All, the universe, nature, god and all these things, which people sometimes call and mean one thing, you can use human word to express that. You're truly THE artist for me, with really handful. Bless your soul along your journey called life, and all of who read this also. ♥
