Nai Palm, Bender - The Makings of You (Curtis Mayfield cover)

Музыка

A note from Nai.
This video was taken the day after my surgery to remove my right breast in an attempt to save my life from breast cancer. It is a life experience I will carry with me always. I wanted to capture something from the most vulnerable place live and direct from my hospital bed to help others feel strong in the same position. Also the sunset was perfect. I don’t even really know the words without singing along with Curtis but they just filled my heart and were soo on point in the moment. Bender worked the chords out in like two seconds like a boss. It was filmed by my beautiful gem of a friend and manager Scott Barkham. “The Makings of You” has been such a savior to my diagnosis sanity and the first thing I wanted to sing as soon as my body could handle it. Please check the original by the great Curtis Mayfield and it’s orchestral beauty, elegance and grace. 🔥🌹🔥

    As a bass player and vocalist for 40 years, I am still inspired to grow as a musician and can't get enough of Nai, Paul, Perrin and Simon, you are all so so talented and I hope the four of you and all those around you that make Hiatus Kaiyote keep this thing going. I have only just found your music and I'm sure a decade from now others will be finding you for the first time. I realized at the end of this video that Nai was singing from a hospital bed and I am in tears as I write this, I love you guys and I can feel the bond you all have, just watching the two of you pour your souls in to this song... peace and lovefrom Kansas, USA

I pray you ( like my aunt) beats this horrible disease as you are so needed here! This is one of my favorite Curtis Mayfields song. And you have the perfect voice for this cover. Although I don't know you personally: ****SENDING HEALING HUGS AND LOVE****💕💕💕💕💕

    There is something in this song, in this moment, so warm, sad, and uplifting... it's like I'm tasting what it's like to see the world through your eyes, the appreciation of the earth, imperfections and impermanence, holding it all in balance for a few minutes while the melody carries you on. The more i grow, the more i can relate when you say you feel most beautiful when you don't realize you exist as much.

He's just like "My friend's still here, I wasn't sure if I'd get to play with my friend again" and the look of sheer gratitude and love on his face...I'm crying. Thank you for your courage and open heart, Nai, I love you

I just had surgery a few months back, couldn't sleep, couldn't stand the drugs, so my husband told me to plug both headphones in and listen... it was my Nai/Hiatus playlist. You guys walked the hospital halls with me while I recovered, too. I wish for you to have that sort of peace during your entire HEALTHY life. Merry Christmas!
