Black as night [Nahko Bear]

[@Ascendant618]

So many years have gone by and I always find myself coming back to this song. The official music video is nice, but the authenticity of this one is hard to match. Hits you right in the soul👊

[@qbob5]

Exactly ❤

[@TJishere]

Same 💜

[@PCisEVIL]

Same. Have this version and the official on my Spotify. Been a crazy ten years, but this song has been a part of all of them.

[@oo7splanet]

absolutely feel that way couldn’t agree more

[@fabianforkl4664]

[@alexisgreat420]

after battling addiction and homelessness I can say this song truly saved my life and keeps me going stronger every day

[@GiovanniiRosa]

This will a always always ALWAYS be my favourite version

[@greebo_d_alias]

Mine, too. This video was my introduction to Nahko 6 years ago and it still resonates with me and brings me to a place of peace.

No question about that!

[@AndyNormore]

Its been 1 decade. I am now introducing my son into your music to CONNECT. I cried tonight. Thank you.

[@BlindGardener]

It's been about 10 years and I have completely forgotten about that song until this morning when I started singing I'm black as night with a little bit of moonlight the shower. Funny how the brain works sometimes.

[@marykelley2343]

Life after Nahko is very good.

[@SheilaKelleySFactor]

fronkzz What was your life like before Nahko? Mine is much better.

[@matthewkimobrewster4005]

His music speaks messages lessons and experiences. if you listen and tak it in, you can learn and maybe life after Nahko is a bit greener than the other side

[@brentbeardsley655]

Maybe he has tapped into the idea that many people are looking for a messiah or someone with deeper insight. I see him as a scammer saying what he thinks these misguided souls want to hear. I've listened to this guy and see nothing special about him. Other than a limited musician trying to avoid real work. Name some original ideas from him. Something nobody else has said that he is just repeating. I'll wait....

[@expandingspirit3652]

Brent Beardsley what made you say this a year ago??

[@smokintoes]

@@brentbeardsley655 this is nonsense to me. This song is actually a bit shallow, but he knows that. Even still it's a song about self acceptance and love for another. Tf do YOU listen to?

[@aaronmcmurray2629]

Witchy wisdom in melody and rhyme... sublime... in time, a treasure... for now, pure pleasure.

[@btwquickfacts]

I showed this song to a friend but lost it ever since then. I didn’t understand why I liked it so much. Almost 10 years later and I found it again but with different eyes. Now I’ll be showing this to my husband and 3 year old son. Full circle 🥰 Thank you universe ❤️

[@ReallyReall]

Awesome! 🤍

[@josephruiz7481]

[@alaanyunmainge7162]

Nice song

[@griffeath]

There’s something special in the rawness of it- the way his pacing floats outside of time, impromptu hand gestures, DIY video, extraneous sounds of kids at play-all embraced.

[@skrimper]

And that's the secret to life :)

I can't believe it's been 11 years. What a crazy journey this life has been!

[@andreatummons4]

There is nothing more beautiful or peaceful to listen to than this acoustic version of Nahko singing Black as Night. I believe in the good things coming is more than just a lyric. It's a way of life. So beautiful Nahko. We love you brother Bear!

[@johnduckett6786]

the power of this song is lost in the produced version on the album. this has soul and the meaning is intense.

[@daisymccarty9409]

Why can't society look up at this man and his beautiful heart and music instead of looking at people like Miley Cyrus and her mistakes? Us humans are looking at what's abnormal, calling it normal, and looking at the normal and calling it abnormal. Way to go humanity...

Its not the perfection, its the authenticity. The musical medicine that we are all craving. As you pass 1,000,000 views I honor you and the Medicine Tribe. I have never felt so recharged, rejuvenated, and tuned in after a show as I did last weekend at Shangri~La. You are uniting the tribes. And for this I thank you. I believe in the good things coming, coming, come in.

I am humbled and thankful for nahko and the medicine he spreads to all of us.

He probably won't be interested if you're aged over 13

[@savannahfredrickson8070]

I will be listening to this when I go into labor. It puts me at peace no matter what is going on. Thank you Nahko for this blessing. I love all of your music but this song and this version is especially amazing and important to me. Has helped me get through the most difficult time of my life. I probably listen to it more than anything else.

[@JRRedDawg]

I’ve been watching this video since there was under 100 views it’s so amazing to have witnessed this entire journey. Thank you Nahko and friends for the healing, tears, joy, and memories! Luvin y’all

[@anthonyderosa7730]

the video the "sheep" people see.",a hippy playing a beautiful song," they go about their day after seeing this back to societies",norm" our culture is in dire need to be spread. that small moment you people feel when you see this video. calm. collect. spiritual. your third eye is struggling to decalcify itself. don't move forward. embrace it. and strive towards full enlightenment. stop fighting for what society wants you to be. open your soul up to the world people like nahko myself and many others that are in a spiritual battle to overcome the suffering on mama earth. it's a fight. I promise you it will not be easy. but music like this absolutely helps numb the pain. everything will be okay people. come together. I love you all

[@beyondlife1704]

Anthony DeRosa anyone who claims to be fully enlightened is caught in an ego trap. full enlightenment is non existing.

[@anthonyderosa7730]

Beyond Life cool so where did I say I was fully enlightened

[@beyondlife1704]

Anthony DeRosa I didn't say you had made that claim. simply added on to your words of "strive towards full enlightenment"

[@heathertaylor8904]

My phone is broken, I cannot hear anything at all. But I was surfing through the Web and a random click through KZbin on accident landed me here. Something told me I had to hear what you were saying from the moment I saw your reflection (autocorrect tried to make it say "resurrection" instead, and I was tempted to leave it. It's an apt word for what you make people feel the second they hear your words, relieved someone like you still exists... resurrected.) I had a burning need to hear what you were singing, so I dropped everything and went to my computer (it's. .. sort of a computer. .. quite falling apart now, but I pieced it together with a little TV and odd things) and curled up in bed to watch and listen. To say that you move me, or hundreds of others, is a pitiful understatement, but words can be so, so very lacking. Unless they are coming through such a pure medium of art such as what you're sharing. Thank you, from the bottom of my heart and deeper, for waking me up in a time I've been lost in the concrete jungle, with my light slowly dimming, totally alone. You set my light back on fire and remember to share that light, always, it's so easy to forget sometimes. You've no idea how terribly I needed that. But I think life leads you to water when your soul most needs a drink, and that's all the universe was doing, and I thank you for being the source.

[@Entourage9mofo]

That was an amazing piece of soul writing :) Made me smile. Happiness and peace can be a chain effect, if we just slow down and open our eyes to the beauty around us. Life, is what we make it. All the best to you Heather.

[@charisma9797]

That was beautiful, a piece of art in and of itself. I've loved and listened to this song for years, and reading your comment, such poetic prose full of true moments and stories, re-awoke me to the true sublimity of this. Thank you for sharing your lovely self and experience. I hope you have been submerging your soul in the water it needs, and I wish you joy.

[@heathertaylor8904]

Still listening to this every day, though everything else they do is amazing. .. this is better than coffee in the morning. This one. .. "little" piece of art. .. has galvanized my entire life. I'm headed back to stay with the rainbow family, and start all the little dreams in my head to flowing in motion, though it's thick and slow as molasses might now, I'm moving a little more freely every day. And this song is reminding me when I feel like it's pointless or maybe I shouldn't be worrying about such silly things as dreams. Amazing what dreams can do. .. your dream, his dream, everyone's dreams led me back to mine, and I can only hope it keeps going, and I wake others up, and they wake others up, forever into infinity.

[@phototour831]

[@Geddyleefan30]

Nahko seriously needs to make just an acoustic record! I love his message and feel in his more simple videos like this, but his records are kinda over produced imo (not saying they're bad tho)

[@apriln.baskin4158]

agreed. like i LOVE his acoustic version of nyepi much more than the produced version

[@sethgodwin5492]

Lsd makes his studio albums, the most brilliant things I have ever heard. Js I know I know, lsd make everything better, but if you haven't tried it with the dark as night album, your missing out!

[@whoasked9938]

I really enjoy all versions, it's all good medicine to me 😍😍

[@MLEWIS78]

Kyle Johnson yes I wholeheartedly agree

[@mathieuclavel-handpanmusic1847]

I feel quite the same as well. I love what we can feel on this interpretation. It breathe simplicity and authenticity. I feel more calm and centered than while listening other interpretations (on albums), on which I feel a spreading intention of the message, rather than a meditative tool, healing.

[@strawberryanarchy]

Pure bliss, peace and ahh what a tune!

[@Fadeypoo]

Definitely the most talented human in denim dungarees I've ever seen and heard. Great acoustics in the back of that pick up too. Here's to good things coming.

[@bcstargazer]

This is the Medicine Man and music that I remember and love. Stay golden Nahko Bear, stay golden.

[@firekrumbz1062]

my fiancé is going through ovarian cancer again, the pain im feeling is unreal, what im going through i cannot describe in to words, what this song does to me is give me a sense of hope , i stare at my child waiting as shes in doin test, and the feeling of pain knowing that its even a possibility id be alone with my son in this home, the pain of him growing up without a mom hurts me more than ever, and loosing my best friend scares me , more than anything, thank you for your music.
