This left a mark

[@chipbowers247]

But its still alright

[@davethebeau1365]

I'll be damned if this old man starts counting his loses...

[@chrisschepper9312]

This song has got me through many a dark day. Thank you, Nathaniel. ❣️

[@richcotton4974]

Aye, this song brings tears to me eyes. Hits ya in the chest, pushes through, and comes out the back and you're ready to go on afterwards.

[@ChrisBireley]

What a great song and an even better singer. Pure talent. I wish performers like this would go mainstream and show people what real talent looks like.

[@briansoundingironwilson9172]

This man is tough. He aint afraid to tell his story. It would be an honor to jam all nite with him...cheers brother

[@jakemicheletti4571]

I love this dude

[@nicholasfantini3638]

This song had come out when our 13 y/o Shepard had past, so whenever I hear it, it always strikes a chord and I tear up. Just like the wife and I did lastnight at the ORPHEUM THEATRE lastnight. Great show guys 👍👌👏🤘

[@mikegreen2417]

made me cry

[@stickybandit327]

I think it’s the same person going around all these videos and disliking them. I love this new album. Just waiting on the “best of” acoustic album.

[@reiver569]

I’m so happy for your sobriety, Nathaniel; we need you around as long as possible.

[@josemireles78589]

[@cuasimodo7359]

en otro momento de la musica, este tema seria un clasico inolvidable, hoy todo pasa muy rapido. salud Nathaniel !!

[@michaektusen9572]

This got me through my biggest fight. I'm now three weeks clean and trying to figure out a sober future!

[@mle1ravens1]

It ain't easy...but it's a HELL of a lot easier than actively running, I can promise you that.

[@tootalltam143]

Only have to bury your friends then it find it gets worse... I love this song. Not at all disappointed in this live performance

[@waxwing449]

"And It's Still Alright"
 It ain't alright, the hardness of my head
Now, close your eyes and spin around
Say, hard times you could find, it
Ain't the way that you want
But it's still alright

Late at night, do you lay around wondering?
Counting all the lines, ain't so funny now
Say, times are hard, you get this far, but it
Ain't the way that you want
I'll be damned if this old man don't
Start to count on his losses
But it's still alright

They say you learn a lot out there
How to scorch and burn
Gonna have to bury your friends
Then you'll find it gets worse
Standing out on the ledge
With no way to get down
You start praying for wings to grow
Oh, baby, just let go

I ain't alright, you keep spinning out ahead
It was cold outside when I hit the ground
Said, I could sleep here, forget all the fear
It will take time to grow
Maybe I don't know

Hey, tonight if you think about it
Remembering all the times that you pointed out
Say, the glass is clear but all this fear
Starts a-leaving a mark
Your idle hands are all that stands
From your time in the dark
But it's still alright

[@jonmcmillan3261]

OUTSTANDING SIR

[@frankspence8723]

Right before Covid hit, I remember those days.

[@davidkopec9442]

He is awesome.

[@jschappert]

This song crushes my heart. Amazing

[@susanallen4160]

Love this song and love your voice. Just Beautiful,,,,,,,Thank you !

[@kprice5877]

Nicest Warterloo I've ever seen or heard. Fits your voice, fit's the song, and you make it sing. Oh and that song you wrote. It's more than alright! It's great.

[@SWEETWILLKINGSTON]

Beautiful guitar

[@thomasprice1760]

[@JohnLanky]

Great Performance, very heartfelt and unique to himself.

[@skodbolle]

I love this

[@steveeschweiler8603]

What a beautiful song.

[@SuperYockster]

Gnarly hands, uncommonly meaty. Beautiful voice, though, and the rare ability to communicate through his music.

[@yzwoody]

This was her favorite song. I even learned how to play it for her she left and today I saw her with somebody new and I feel like I’ve been kicked in the stomach and I don’t feel like doing this anymore

[@zack2698]

Been there. It takes time. Don't let that bitch win! Get back out there and find someone who truly appreciates you.

[@CrossfireG95Black]

Like the song says… you’ll be alright. I read something he said… everyone goes through hard times but life eventually works out exactly as it’s supposed to. Hang in.

[@boingdaggit]

Forget that strumpet

[@cubbehr6058]

Beautiful, thank you

[@dudemanyeah1645]

This version truly resonates. He looks hungover as fuck. Just brilliant.

[@reiver569]

Probably but also crying…

[@dudemanyeah1645]

Yeah possibly, he had a couple of mates die. Whatever it is, it’s stunning. Very poignant.

[@christianbetancor4807]

what a G

[@matthewmac5229]

F**king awesome

[@jouniraitanen4144]

More than alright👌

[@craigmcfarlane2462]

[@cdawg_692]

This song has saved me hundreds of times. No lie

[@DnaKGames]

[@jasonsmith4969]

Y'alls thumbnails are off as Fuuuuuuu

[@chipbowers247]

Lmao

[@Rage-bo9ww]

[@drunkass77]

It's a woolworth but i can't remember which one exactly, if you Google it, it's there

[@chrisharper835]

Waterloo WL-S Delux..... its made by Collings

[@elvismawhinney2494]

What a voice......get the beard back though!!!!! Ha

[@skaboydave]

Who hurt you???

[@Mechanicalcircus]

he's not looking so good. Hope he's still alright!

[@gimmetea5615]

Have you read about he recently went trough? We all need a little help sometimes. I can feel his pain. I couldn’t relate till I lost someone at the end of 2019

[@tlgramlich3577]

Covid can do that to you, honestly his hair looks great you should see all my self haircuts and colors.

[@newnotification30]

My boy nathaniel is drinking too much. His face is bloated.

[@jdcampbell9613]

New Notification I though he got sober. Oh well. Faces swell up if you hit the bottle too hard sometimes.

[@FamilyWebs]

Your comment is bloated. How do you feel now?

[@MrMetz2112]

I saw him in Chicago last night, and he looked and sounded great!

[@reiver569]

He got sober right around the time this song was released.
