- 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. 🔥🌹🔥 - เพลง
She will never know how much her vibe means to the ones who love her. Such an unique soul! Sending love and peace vibes right back to her
Seriously. Her soul is so beautiful it makes me cry. I'm not exaggerating even a little bit.
Agreed
💯🥰
Hang in there, girl. You're an inspiration to us all.
Karl Kirkpatrick I wouldn’t say it better.
This brought me to tears. I could feel it all, the vulnerability, the full heart. I'm grateful for your existence, Nai.
This is great cover of curtis Mayfield's song...simply GREAT
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
Two years later and this still makes me cry like a baby. Big love Nai
goooooddaaaaamm we must protect Nai Palm at all costs, we don't deserve someone so pure. bless the souls of the entire Hiatus Kaiyote family
I often Thank god that we exist at the same time.
i love nai, but bender deserves some love too! it wouldn't be the same without him
Oh Nai!!!😢😪😔 This hurts to hear. I didn't know you had breast cancer! My aunt just went through chemo and radiation therapy for her breast cancer. 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****💕💕💕💕💕
Imagine being in the room next door....!!! Blessing everyone’s ears.
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.
Just realised I've listened so much to Nai's voice that I can tell when she's smiling ♥️
Had the pleasure of seeing this queen live in Sydney 2 nights ago. This performance slays me, but most of all the look on Bender's face. 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
Thats nice Sophie, I was hoping to hear how her recovery was going.
Take care.
LUV THIS WOMAN LAWDDDDDD! !!!!!!!!🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥
What a moment, I'm getting teary eyed. Beautiful voice emanating from a mighty person... Sending love!
I love you Nai Nai!!! Curtis would be proud of your rendition. Stay up baby!!!
You are elegant and graceful. Your emotions made me vibe so much. A lovely and sweet hug. Have a wonderful life You deserve it.
Listening from Japan at 4:50am. Thanks for staying alive Nai, the world needs your music. Gladys Knight's version of this song is also beautiful and soul soothing
This is a difficult song. Nai is one of the only people who can do it justice. This was beautiful work both of you!
I love this version so much because she uses her voice to mimic the instrumentals while keeping a beautiful interpretation of the vocals. This is my favorite one right up there with the original.
I’m literally crying but not because I’m sad. You just touched my soul deeply & your spirit is strong to even attempt this right after such a difficult decision. I am grateful for your contributions to this world & this song has always been a fav for me too! Much Love & many blessings along your journey.
My favorite modern soul artist covering my favorite old soul artist. This made my day. Swift recovery for Nai.
Great cover of one of the best producers, songwriters of his time, Curtis Matfield. Beautiful voice.
Just when you’re about to cry over your petty situations you come across this.
Nai, wishing you all the healing vibes. Strength and peace. Bender, take care of homegirl!
Yes Nai, stay strong q u e e n
Why is she in an hospital ??
Hello Bonsoir breast cancer

I am sure this is the music that plays in heaven. Can't think of anything more beautiful. Thanks for reminding me of how wonderful life really is.
i always come back to this whenever I'm feelin' down. It brings me so much joy about the preciousness of being alive..so happy you are still here Nai
That was so beautiful it made me cry. God bless you, Nai, and may God bless you with a speedy recovery and long term health. Your voice puts my soul at peace. 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!
from a hospital bed ,?,, truly , the love of all mankind, a woman,,,at her best ,, one love ,,
This is unfathomably beautiful. So much love to you guys, and to everyone listening/reading out there

Nai...we're still here for you! Love and Light Doll
And tears are now streaming down my face. I love you guys, miss you guys, and can't wait to hear you again. Stay strong.
Curtis Mayfield would be proud.

Thank You Nai 💕always sending you love and light you singing this song means so much to me today it reminds me of my Grandma’s healing love she had just made it to 100 this year and was laid to rest yesterday sleep in peace ☮️ Grandma!
Now this takes me back. I was just becoming a teenager around the time when this hit the streets.
I love that wholesome laugh in the beginning. Man does that make my heart overflow and this song goodness.
Prayers to you Nai... you will win! My best friend of 25 years is going through the same thing... She just went through 5 1/2 months of chemo and I was with her every infusion. We have a ways to go on this journey and I'm down with her like four flat's ... If I could, I would do the same for you. Peace and light, Sweetheart.
Fullbeauty you truly are full of beauty good luck to you and all that you love have a happy Christmas and next year I hope all goes well

Heard you & the band in Atlanta 5 years ago. Wishing a speedy recovery and return to the stage. Many blessings.
Nai, when I saw you at Irving plaza a couple years back, you captivated and memorized everyone in the audience. I was amazed at how some one could allow music to flow through them like that, it was beautiful. I'm heartbroken about the news but I know you'll stay strong. We love you Nai!
Ive watched this about 20 times since it was posted. An incredibly raw but astoundingly beautiful moment. Heal up Nai. We need you out here. X
So many beautiful renditions of this song. Thought my favorite was Curtis' live version at The Bitter End, but damn... what a celebration of life.
seeing her smile while singing made my whole month :)
I just realize that this video has taken one year ago. And I can’t get enough of your voice, your soul, your force, you are a resiliant woman that I admire the most.

This is one of the most beautiful things I've ever seen and heard in my life. The red leaves against the setting sun in the city, against your amazing voice, Curtis' amazing lyrics and Bender's guitar of course. Stay strong Nai, you're such a gift to this world and every soul in it. Your voice is like healing for me, and I'm sure for many others.

Still listening to this in 2022. And loving the Moomin. Thanks Nai Palm
Since the day I first discovered your music I always loved you as an artist. But while watching this video I felt I was falling in love with you as a person.
You spread love and joy with everithing you do. You have become the sun that shines inside me even in the darkest moments.
"The love of all mankind
Should reflect some sign
Of these words I've tried to recite
They are close, but not quite
Almost impossible to do
Reciting the makings of you"
The words of this song are speaking about you, Nai. No doubt.
💖 from Italy
And once again my heart overflows
Saw this on facebook a few days ago and this has been stuck in my head since. Thank you for uploading this.
Also, I hope Nai palm is recovering well.
Stunning. Love her to bits and I'm so glad I had the chance to see her and the whole band live. One of the greatest bands in the world.
Your music means more to me than anyone could ever know. From the bottom of my heart, thank you. ♥️

Add a little sugar, honeysuckle and
A great, big expression of happiness
Boy, you couldn’t miss with a dozen roses
Such would astound you
The joy of children laughing around you
These are the makings of you
It is true, the makings of you
The righteous way to go
Little one would know
Or believe if I told them so
You're second to none
The love of all mankind
Should reflect some sign
Of these words I've tried to recite
They are close, but not quite
Almost impossible to do
Reciting the makings of you
The righteous way to go
Little one would know
Or believe if I told them so
You're second to none
The love of all mankind
Should reflect some sign
Of these words I've tried to recite
They are close, but not quite
Almost impossible to do
Reciting the makings of you
Loss of words, this is pure bliss to observe.. Glad to see you surrounded with all this energy in the time you are in.
