I love Nahko. I'm an 8 year addict. I quit shortly after I met little bear at GNF 2014 in Maine and started to experience their medicine. Struggling today. Can I get some love?

You betcha. The power and glory of this music is next to godliness. It gives so much hope to stay strong. Religion itself has been used and got a bad wrap, but all god wants is you to talk with him, it’s a personal thing, not a community thing. Focus on what you want, and not what you don’t want, and you will manifest it. Don’t waste your time and effort on thinking about what you don’t want to happen, and you’ll have more energy for working toward what you want. Find your inner voice, and listen when it says “No.”

"Today is a good day for me ego to die" is, to me, one of the most powerful lines ever written in a song.

I miss listening to him🎶😭 but he introduced me to YOU ♥️♥️♥️♥️♥️ Dear brother was played at wake. This makes me feel somehow connected. Strength for another day🙏🏻 ♥️🎶🇨🇦
I heard the word humble when I was 24 years old and an AA meeting and trust me I stay humble these days I'm 39 stay humble everybody
Over the years this has continued to be my song of solace in the hardest of times. Thank you so much for the all the years of musical medicine Mr. Bear 🥰🙏🏽🤗

This is my favorite song .. I always come back to this. Wish we all did.
I know my whole life has been leading up to this anyways, but Nahko made me see.. Little by little, I've been waking up, but now I found purpose.. I used to think (5 days ago) that Nahko has so much pressure on his back to say these words and actually live by them.. Now I know that we all carry the same responsibilities. We're all warriors, we're all a part of this, we're a part of something special!

I never got that need until I heard Nahko and Medicine for the People, this is my souls music! Thank you for this beautiful music and meaningful words! It brings me peace and reprograms my brain to what I want it to be, full of love and appreciation for all! 💜💚💙👽✌

I feel you sister.. I never vibed with religions much either. His humble soul and courageous heart speaks a universal language to those ready to reconnect with spirit and walk a path to reconnect with Mother Earth. The message is more empowering than most religious institutions messages are... it says be a woman among women or a man among men.. a protector.. a guardian.. a healer.. we are invited to become the medicine this world needs... no middle men or saviors required.. we are the ones we have been waiting for.

I vividly remember sitting on my balcony in the pouring rain with a little speaker while I was in rehab, playing this song on repeat and singing along until the words became ingrained to my soul. Each time I walk in the rain I remember that moment of healing, and I am so grateful for these words of guidance, for how SOMEHOW, though the song is "so familiar to memory", each time I hear it, I understand a deeper meaning and can apply it to my earthly experience in new ways. Thank you for this song. I struggle with staying sober, but songs like this bring back memories of how beautiful life can be with a clear mind, a cleansed soul, and pure intentions. 💕
this song woke my spirit up and has changed my life. I reconnected with my family and have given up all the negative things in my life. thank you thank you. you have saved me.

funny when i show people this song at first they're just like "whatever" but then as you watch them consciously awake "may take several years" they'll find themselves falling in love with it just as much
Here in 2022....first time listener.... This is more relevant today than ever before. Let's rise in live family. Tyranny is knocking. We got this. GOD WINS. Occupy your hearts and resist the bs.

I’m experiencing healing from this music every time I hear it. In my opinion This is better/ more effective than conventional therapy and medication treatments at least which may work for some? At least from personal experience , however This Music lifts me up spiritually!!! Never got that with therapy. Being uplifted spiritually is one of the most empowering things you can do as a human . I saw Medicine For the people at RedRocks 2019 ,take your power back tour with my wife and Sagittarius Son on a Sagittarius full moon / bestest ever Fathers day! I seized my power back hand to the sky as a Nahko Bear playing piano with lightning crackling and bolting across the mountains behind him ! Straight chills and felt in my heart more in church gathered in the presence of God . AKA the Great Spirit Nahko Amazing AF musical shaman! I took three airplanes home to Alaska and got custody of my son! We’ve a 9:26 Great Spirit 🎉to which we all return at the end of this Journey. Grandma died Yesterday I’m praying for Strength in my new beginnings! Thanks to anyone who took the time to read. Medicine Tribe for Life #a better life . 🫶🏻 ☮️ wish me luck and prosperity on my pursuit of happiness.
i love you Nahko. hope you enjoy your visit to Maine! youre always welcome here. love love love from the #Wolfpack , #spunnionnation, and #harrybrownsfarm
We're a part of something special. Stay humble my friends. Peace & love
I have Native American in my blood but Im as white as can be disconnected from my tribe but reestablished with spirt. When I listen to this song the warrior in me cant sit down. I feel it inside me.
As pure as the rose, is to the nose Nahko and Medicine for the People Is purposeful prose, raw emotion, for the good of all. He lulls his words, like the Emperors new clothes, Naked and Brave. The soul of a Warrior who concurred his rage, from wars he did not wage. Then he fought any way. Much Love and Respect, Good vibes to All.

"Holy hold grandmother we sing, wash us clean of our pain and suffering, give us strength for our new beginnings" - I really connect to that because I credit my grandmother's love as a big part of why I survived my younger years
The lyrics...all i can say. humanity , if only all could realize the potential we can accomplish together without hurting our world. peace love and joy to all , positive vibes only
My brother showed me Nahko and I can't believe how much he sounds like Dave Matthew's. That is all.
damn 6+ years... I remember when this dropped. I drove 8 hours to hang out with them and perform! Will never forget that experience! Back when Chase/Hope/Justin/Dustin was the band!
ive absolutely thirsted for music like this my whole life! ily Nahko Bear!

We’re a part of something special We’re a part of something special We’re a part of something special It’s a crack in time, a wrinkle Fallen from the nest, young eagle I will pull my feathers out, stay humble Stay humble, stay humble ohhhhohh Stay humble, stay humble mmmmm, well Uncle Mana taught us like an elder Took asunder older brother, he said ‘This is powerful country, This is powerful country, yeah’ We felt like we were returning, To our land rebels, and the shepherds in the sea Takers are taking what the leavers will leave So, grieve me the black prince cicada, Such a loud voice for a tiny creature, oh Teach me to let go of all of my pain, I do forgive I don’t forget these things I do forgive I don’t forget these things, so We burn the blue gum for a safe passage way, Drink of the earth, smoke of the dirt, And my warpaint was red ochre clay, hoka hey Red ochre clay, hoka hey, red ochre clay, well Our prayers ignite and cast out into the shire, And the song of our struggle, came straight from the fire, it goes: Holy holy grandmother we sing, Wash us clean of our pain and suffering Give us strength for a new beginning In my deepest grace I sing It’ll wash away, it will wash away - lift ’em up It’ll wash away, it will wash away - lift ’em up It’ll wash away, it will wash away - lift ’em up It’ll wash away, it will wash away - lift ’em up Ooohhhoooo lift ’em up Ooohhhoooo lift ’em up In my dreams you were an aboriginal man You gave me your hat, and your past in one hand, you said ‘You come to be with rainbow serpent Red hands, red land, red worship Red hands, red land, red worship’ Just then I heard bush mama crying in the chasms For a stolen generation, and the children that haven’t Come home, come home, stay home Come home, come home, stay home My bullets are my words, and my words are my weapons So chain me to the pipeline, for our rivers and mountains We sing ‘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 body my mind, In my body my mind Then sister crow came with the murder that day, So we tattooed the bird nation onto our faces She said, ‘We seem to let go of all of our pain, We dance the story to remember when things changed, Remember when things changed, Remember when things changed’ Holy holy grandmother we sing, Wash us clean of our pain and suffering, Give us strength for a new beginning, In my deepest thanks I sing It’ll wash away, it will wash away - lift ’em up It’ll wash away, it will wash away - lift ’em up It’ll wash away, it will wash away - lift ’em up It’ll wash away, it will wash away - lift ’em up whooooaaa lift ’em up whooooaaa lift ’em up whooooaaa lift ’em up whooooaaa lift ’em up oohhoo lift ’em up oooohhhohhh ooohhoo We dance the ghost dance in two separate countries To this old song, so familiar to memory The road will teach you how to love and let go It can be lonely but it’s the only thing that we’ve ever known It can be lonely but it’s the only thing that we’ve ever known Our mamas told us ‘Let go our jealousy And for vagabonds and vagrants that wont come so easy We’ve come from nothing, nothing We have come from nothing, nothing’ I traveled half way across the country and back, Only to find love undefined, and I’m okay with that Cause I’m gonna be guardian, be a man among men, Be a guardian, be a man among men, Or be a woman among women, be a guardian, be my friend ohhhhh be my friend Teach me to love you in a different way, Same cuts same guts same crazy Same cuts same guts same crazy It’ll wash away, it will wash away - lift ’em up It’ll wash away, it will wash away - lift ’em up It’ll wash away, it will wash away - lift ’em up It’ll wash away, it will wash away - lift ’em up lift ’em up!

Reading these lyrics as the song plays, when it was over I noticed the song is near 10 minutes, and I'm wondering why it's over so soon. Powerful music is an understatement
