Nahko - Build a Bridge [Live at the Independent]

[@wookiefootjojo]

the bridge he is building is from his from his head to his heart. And I know this cause I was there when he wrote it ;) ... he is resolving the anger and pain within himself and his conflict with being Apache, Puerto Rican, Filipino raised in an adopted middle class "White" family. (which he loves deeply). He has inherited the pains of history and the stories of his ancestors as have we all. This song calls the pain out and leads it to redemption ...on the other side where there is peace.

I cried the first time I heard this song. So great!!!!

[@pattiwilliams6765]

Should I fall, crack my head, and die, while dancing to this song in the shower...know this... I died with hope in my heart. 🎶💜

[@stephaniebradshaw7214]

Same here...for realz

[@Shabon67]

I'm actually in tears. Like full on crying. Maybe it's just where I am on my journey right now but this song is exactly what I needed to hear. It's what we all need to hear. This message is what WE ALL NEED TO HEAR. It's a message for humanity. For PEOPLE! It's medicine. And it's so desperately needed in this world... I'm incredibly moved. I never thought one song could touch me so much. So much love. Just needed to share that. I love all you beautiful souls!

[@leftystrat59]

+Sean Kramer Listen to "Make a Change" of you really want to get choked up.... P.S. happy sailing on your Journey.

[@m.r.c.4140]

+Sean Kramer not unusual for a spirit standing upright! if you connect with this music. express yourself with it on, Try writing or creating some poetry to this fine music. A good way to get to knowyourself more without consuming drugs haha. no kidding you might just write things you haven't ever before and aren't in the songs either. that's just the nature of resonance, there is a limitless sea of subtle energy everywhere that is a place. the trick is its subtle. medicine is what you will experience if you can interact with it, for the heart, the mind, the spirit, and the body

[@j3fton]

+Sean Kramer +leftystrat59 and Love letters to god :)

[@R1senb18c]

I am right there with you Sean, love you too brother. Each and every one of you. Remember we are one.

[@oakincornwall]

a bit unkind !

[@tessblessed7489]

This is still personally my favorite version of this song. The one on the album is still great but there’s something about this one that fires up my heart.

[@annmariecastillo9189]

Mine too!; the first time I heard this song I must admit I was smitten with his lyrics ❤❤❤❤❤

[@ryanbrickey843]

This is easily one of the finest tunes to ever grace my 47 year old ears and I live for music. Seen about 200 concerts and own 400 plus Cds. This is about as good as it gets for soul touching music

[@radnowonward]

So much has changed in the past seven years, but the truth of this song will always remain. We have grown. The movement has grown. Despite & because of challenges we have faced, the bridge has grown. We have come to grow in peace, so come, let's grow. And together we will 💜🌿 see you there

I was there watching this live... He was on fire that night!!

[@annastasiasusoev4221]

Don’t even know how many times I play this song on my headphones, bless you Nahko💜you give us warriors fuel 💕love you

[@xs0heavenly]

His words remind me of something I feel like I have always known. I truly believe that we just need to be reminded of this ancient truth. Life is not as complicated as our society has made it- let's simplify. Let's come together and decide to work for a better future- for the sake of our children and for the sake of the Earth. Nahko's music has touched my heart and soul, and I feel very inspired and thankful for coming across it and being able to meet him in Chicago. Keep doing what you do, brother! We love you and I hope you guys will make a stop in Chicago again soon!

[@CrazyWhiteVanDriver]

You're beautiful. Such a beautiful kind soul. It's amazing. You're on the path. x o x o

[@miscky6075]

You are completely right, and nowadays is the trials, will we succeed? Of course we will, we have the power and all we have to do is just to stand up.... and step off the throne that feeds us till we can't stand.

Let's build. Let's live in peace. Thank you for coming in my awareness and life!

[@truejitsu6788]

He really is a danger to darkness. I am a manic depressive type 2. Every since Nahkos music combined with meds, cognitive behavioral therapy and Jiu-jitsu the darkness ran quickly! I was able to tame the beast and ride the dragon! Thanks for giving my light back.

[@neogadan67]

not normally the kind of music I listen to, actually quite the opposite, but I dig the dudes message.

[@lawndart6539]

This message of hope and peace does come with a message of truth. That we shall defend what is ours and what we are a part of because its a better life, not just promised but gifted to us.

[@karensaville4952]

I NEED MY NAHKO FIX,,,HE GIVES ME STRENGTH,,

[@longstoopify]

My father is native American and his side of the family is too but he married a white woman my mother I am half native American half white christian I adore my culture although others call me a fraud and wannabe for saying I am native American because the color of my skin is white and I have blond hair and blue eyes they don't call me a native American they call me Nazi lover and all I want is to be accepted for who I am a native American just wanted to tell everyone because this song inspires me to tell my story

[@LunaMaverick]

I am Eurasian - half Asian and half European blood. I am white looking. Let me tell you that you are beautiful and that "native pride" comes from the heart and the ancestors - none of which these enemies have within in them. Stay strong and proud. Love from Australia.

[@krystalclearconfusion6036]

We fight not against flesh and blood, but principalities and agents of the dark. We must find the strength in our differences and unify, for the monster that chases each and every one of our souls will devour us as we bicker amongst ourselves about worldly things. This planet is our only home and each soul alive needs the air, water and land it provides for us. THAT should be what we make our number one priority, and maybe we could find peace as we tend to our home, peace within and peace around. Shalom

[@gabecantsay]

are you being sarcastic? lol

[@ChilleDINJerseY]

...I cried watching this. After the 50th time listening to it probably. We need to weep for our earth, our land, our home. We must connect with it deeper. You also need to take some responsibility and owe up to the damage you do to the earth on an individual basis, This man chose music to inspire us to connect deeper with our earth. What will your devotion be?

This song reminds me that kindness isn’t weakness, and it is okay to burn bridges if that bridge leads to reflections or actions of regret.

I liked my cave, it was peaceful it was my sanctuary, my well water clean. We tried to tell them about the water. We didn't have the same "God" I hope for what they have done that they stay well hydrated 5 little demons and all their friends.(I don't "go with god" Creator go's with me") Now I protect MY peace and I keep my visions to myself. I have a link for you I will attach♡

[@eilyac]

This is an incredibly important message right now Nahko. Thank you for it. Let's keep building bridges, respecting one another, respecting differences, learning from them and encouraging diversity. Blessings to you on this musical journey. It was wonderful to see you this past summer on Vancouver Island and we hope to see you again soon. Respect.

[@melodywolcott6961]

To Nakho is a sacred artist. Such passion and purity. When I listened to this song for the first time I felt an infinate light growing inside my heart that could not be physically defined. It was a secret that exists deep within my heart. It was at a time when I couldn't have possibly needed to hear it more. It lit me up within. I can never repay that debt. And please do not misunderstand my meaning when I say to you that this performance.... is sacred!! In such a way that I pray is felt by the the others who are blessed enough to really hear it and feel it in their soul. The cry of a warrior of peace. Unable to be defeated in any battle. You made me feel a spiritual light that is incredible. Holy sacred righteous and true. I love this man!!! Thank you!! You are my hero.

[@wookiefootjojo]

To be a "World Bridger " you have to have part of your self on both sides. Nahko obviously has that ! who better to lead others who are bitter and lost to the other side .... then someone who knows it well

Happy Friday, solstice, super galactic alignment, full moon in cancer, and Jupiter in Sag, everyone! Venus has finally left the shadow of her retrograde and it's a very special day! Use the power of these emotions to accomplish something for people/other animals/planets you love!

I have just found out about Nahko through Xavier Rudd and my oh my I am so deeply touched by his music. The last 2 weeks I have done almost nothing but listening to Nahko and I just can't stop listening. Had to search when he is visiting the Netherlands and he is here the 8th of July 2019 and I've got a ticket :) I am sooooooo looking forward to experience his energy. And Xavier is here June 30th and I got a ticket for that gig too. That's gonna be a month of powerful, loving and healing music. Anyway.....this dude touches my soul on a cellular level and I have nothing but love for you my brother.
