about

NATURE ~ a song/video very dear to my heart and the 5th single from my upcoming album ~ is out everywhere today!

I wrote Nature after getting into a fight with my partner, during which I had badly lost my temper and punched a wall in frustration. The second after I punched the wall, I was totally disoriented. I was flooded with remorse, shame and shock. I felt like there was something inside me that reared its ugly head, that I couldn't control. It got me thinking of all the raw impulses I have inside of me, and the idea of someone’s “Nature”. What is in our nature, and how was it planted there? For men specifically — our fathers? their fathers? depictions of male anger in movies and the glorification of male violence? simply just coming of age under patriarchy?

The video was directed by Charles Billot (assisted by Lizzie Lieberson) with makeup by Nina Carelli and features my father, Leif, whose birthday it happens to be TODAY. Thank you dad for supporting and inspiring me to be the artist I am today.

The song features strings by Camellia Hartman, Meitar Forkosh and Midori Witkoski, bari sax by Maria Eisen, shekere by Lollise Mbi and Giancarlo Luiggi and was mixed by Andrew Lappin.

THANK U for taking the time to listen and watch.

lyrics

Wave up ahead, all that I see
I go red and let it wash over me
In just a moment, I submit
I cannot own it, I cannot quit
Ego inflated
Intoxicated
Loaded with pride
Must be my
Nature
Something in my nature
Governs my behavior
And I can’t see it through
Until I’ve hurt you
Swimming with my father
I feel the current bring me closer to him
Something in the water
Has turned these green hands into phantom limbs
Ego inflated
Emasculated
Loaded with pride
Please forgive my
Nature
Something in my nature
Governs my behavior
And I can’t see it through
Until I’ve hurt you
