    "Slow Down" Lyrics:
    Slow down, slow down, slow down
    It’s been a long time,
    Comin’ round and smoothing out the edges
    And slowing down
    And listening
    What is important?
    What is your focus?
    Don’t you go and stumble now
    Are you listening?
    Horsetail, horsetail we can heal it all
    With plant medicine
    Body, mind, and spirit crying
    Slow down, slow down, slow down
    Making a broth for a feverish head
    Nah, I’m no stranger to
    Loneliness
    Are you struggling?
    Sweeter than lavender
    Years in the making drink it up
    It’s your nature
    But I’m struggling
    coping with all of it
    To hell with enlightenment
    Clearly, I am no good at this
    who’s even listening?
    Take it all on, like you know what you’re doing
    Try not to lose yourself out there
    Are you listening?
    Horsetail, horsetail we can heal it all
    With plant medicine
    Body, mind, and spirit crying
    Slow down, slow down, slow down

    I need to tell you a story. I drive the big tour busses the bands ride in. I was driving Nahko from Bonnaroo to Red Rocks last year. On the way, I got into some construction out in Eastern Colorado. The speed limit dropped from 75 to 65...and I heard this singsong voice in my head: "Slow Down." I dropped to 55. I heard it again. I dropped to 45. I heard it again. I slowed all the way down to 25 mph...and then there was a hole in the road. Between the Jersey barriers, it couldn't be avoided. The bus slammed into it on the passenger side. It shook the whole bus and I had to fight to keep control of it going only 25 mph. At the next exit, I pulled over and the mud flaps were bent, the front bumper was damaged, but once I settled down and bent the flaps back out of the tires, we were on our way again. I shuddered to think of what might've happened had I been driving 65 mph and thanked my intuition for listening to that song in my head.

    Thank you Nahko Bear. This is exactly what I needed. The last few months of my life I have struggled like I never have before.. This is not the first time you have saved me and I know it wont be the last. I am listening, and I am healing and so much of that I owe to you.

    WOW! I can feel the intention of this song. I bawled my eyes out. I released a lot of suppressed emotions by tapping into the message. I’m adding this to my list of meditation songs. Thank you Nahko + MFTP 💕 well done 👏🏼

    This whole album makes me bawl my eyes out. I lost my girlfriend in February and a lot of these songs really make me miss her and wish I could have been a better person for her with the time I had. This song makes me think about life and how inevitably we all shall pass. Parents, siblings, friends and loved ones. I don’t think I’m ready for anymore loss. Also to slow down my own bad habits less I leave this life early myself.

    Nahko and MFTP you guys rock so hard. I saw this for the first time at Red Rocks and it was amazing love filled experience. Now you release it and it’s become one of my favorites. I will never forget that night and this song with Auntie Pua dancing and pushing the clouds back from the full moon was magical. Thank you so much! Much love to you all guys!

    I've been waiting for this one. One of the biggest themes in my life is learning how to slow down. I've always been praised for being quick with things, especially when I was younger. Quick learner, fast runner, can do any job with speed, etc. But the older I get the more I realize just how damn much the speed inhibits me. Yes, I can learn quick..but at the cost of understanding deeply many times. Yes I can run fast, but without the ability to pace myself over distance..etc. I even feel like my heart beats too fast. Moving so fast truly takes a toll on both my physical and mental health. When I am able to slow down and be completely intentional with things, my mind instantly responds very positively.

    I am listening! Along with all the people, you have been able to help progress in the mental health recovery program that I lead! Your music was a large part of my own recovery, and now I get to share that with others in my community!

    Every time I see Nahko live, I cant stop crying like a baby(legit every song im bawling). I don't know what it is about him and the music he writes but it really doesn't something to me.
