I think a person and a guitar, sax, violin what ever it may be, are more powerful usually not always but its one person and their feelings. no one to reflect, distort or change how they are feeling happy, sad, conflicted its theirs and they project it exactly as it feel. Putting us(listener/fans) exactly in their shoes for that 2:00 to 5:00 or 10:00 minutes, how ever long that performance maybe.
Saw him play this live at Red Rocks back in August and it was one of the most profound concert moments I have ever experienced. Night Sweats took a break, sun had set, city lights in the distance, psilocybin reached its peak, and his voice was wrenching out this song with a passion I'll never forget. Thank you for this video and this beautiful song.
he carries his pain clearly as a broken dream, he shares it fully, he breaks my heart and heals me at the same time...his courage is real, i don't know why , or how, I'm just so freaking grateful that someone gets it and can share it
Spot on - I’d struggle to put it better myself. The way his voice cracks with the raw emotion contained in the story he’s telling is just breathtaking and achingly beautiful.
There's so much truth and wisdom in his voice and lyrics. These are the type of artists and songs that should be atop the billboards. Beautiful is an understatement.
Took me one listen (shout out to the yt feed, it does know what I like) to get completely obsessed with this. Three simple chords, great lyrics and a heartfelt performance, that’s the magic. I’m gonna go dig into this guy’s music.
"Time Stands" For a moment I could wait to see it fall apart Every empty bed in every city I've been I sit and contemplate all the moments you said Time stands in a duel and I stand for you What's that you used to say? Find a love that you can wait for Or do you feast upon the weak and weary of heart? I can take the pain but I can't take all the hatred Laziness of mind and simplest of thoughts Are you just too old or too young to carry? Time stands in a duel and I stand for you Now you're pouring out your hate at every difference you found You won't even listen to reason at all Not questioning your faith, far be it from me But you would speak of love while tying ones hands Are you just too old or too young to carry? Time stands in a duel and I stand for you Are you just too old or too young to carry? Time stands in a duel and I stand for you Now lean and use your weight That's what a shoulder's made for Carry all the dead and children from here Curses on the men and the greed that seems to plague them I can't raise my hand so I'm raising my voice Are you just too old or too young to carry? Time stands in a duel and I stand for you Are you just too old or too young to carry? Time stands in a duel and I stand for you Time stands in a duel and I stand for you Time stands in a duel and I stand for you
Had the pleasure to see him perform this sounds at Red Rocks Amphitheatre this passed August. He honors the memory of his dear friend and producer Richard Swift.
FECKIN WOW!! Another stunning track from a spectacular artist, one of the best voices and creators of lyrics in music. His solo stuff and with the Night Sweats is proper real honest soul music. I'm excited I've got tickets for his solo tour in the UK, every track from the new album has been bloomin wonderful so far! NR&NS are easily one of the best live bands on this earth, and their perfect music makes it all the more beautiful place for it.
One of the most beautiful songs I've ever heard. Almost impossible not to shed tears while listening to this, especially through his impassioned chorus.
As a metalhead who listens to mostly heavy music, this shit popped up as an AD and I was like hmmm that sounds good.. I searched it up and now im crying on my 3rd repeat
Tonight i just happened to find this song which is amazing btw but the chorus lines "Are you just too old or too young to carry? Time stands in a duel and I stand for you" made me think of all the times i would carry my dad when he couldn't walk anymore and take care of him. He passed Sunday feb 9th. RIP Dad i love you now and always forever.

A perfect example of how powerful one person with a guitar can be.
Dillon Lane , right on man

I remember that!
I was at that show as well. When anyone asked me how the show was I told them about this song. What a powerful moment and a great song.
Same, seen him in Ann Arbor, Mi this past fall
That sir sounds amazing. If i run into him again ill be sure to bring cubes!
Amazing memory. Thanks for sharing.
Ok, so I've stopped crying. This is one the
most important albums of my lifetime. Sometimes music just says things you can't.
he carries his pain clearly as a broken dream, he shares it fully, he breaks my heart and heals me at the same time...his courage is real, i don't know why , or how, I'm just so freaking grateful that someone gets it and can share it
Couldnt agree more. Was actually thinking he brings me down and picks me up at the same time. Amazing. That to me is artistry at its best.
So eloquently put . I could not agree with you more .
Spot on - I’d struggle to put it better myself. The way his voice cracks with the raw emotion contained in the story he’s telling is just breathtaking and achingly beautiful.
This is the kind of music that needs to top the charts
This is the kind of song that punches you in the gut with its anguish. Absolutely exquisite.
Chef's kiss yet again from NR
His songs bring me to tears and give me life at the same time . Sometimes the raw emotion hits so deep.
Man I feel this. His emotion drives it into you that much harder
It’s in the rawness
Yep how is it a technically perfect player can leave you unmoved and a “lesser” player can leave you in bits?
This guy is a gift in every sense of the word. I can listen to him sing and play his guitar forever.
Some things are so good that they literally hurt. Like this.
You are so right.
Absolutely 💔❤️
Damn. So true.
Hits completely differently acoustic and live. So much more somber and pensive.
There's so much truth and wisdom in his voice and lyrics. These are the type of artists and songs that should be atop the billboards. Beautiful is an understatement.
His acoustic sound is just always powerful, great music from a great man
Wow! What a poet! What a voice! What a musical talent! Wow!
Holy shit. I've never heard him sing like this. I'm blown away.
"I can take the pain, but I can't take all the hatred" hits me everytime
Glad we are opening back up. I'll be seeing him in July in Charlotte, and in November in Asheville!!!
I HAVE to hear this man live before I die.
I’ve been to 4 now. Totally worth it each time. Sounds even better live. Truly talented from the core.
This should have been put on the album exactly like this, what a voice, sometimes less is more.
It still blows me off my feet 5 months later
Thank you for being there to help get through some rough & dark times. Also thank you for all the blissful moments. Bless you! ❤
Took me one listen (shout out to the yt feed, it does know what I like) to get completely obsessed with this. Three simple chords, great lyrics and a heartfelt performance, that’s the magic.
I’m gonna go dig into this guy’s music.
I wish it was this way on the album. Just him and the guitar. POWERFUL!

My heart both weeps and smiles...
I've lost count of the number of times I have listened to this tonight. It won't let me go, and I can't leave. Nathaniel touches deep.

This is a truly amazing song, Nathaniel's voice reaches deep down in your soul where memories wait.
I swear , this Man can read my mind and sole !
Wow, maybe it's the quarantine, but I haven't been moved by song like this in a long time. Job well done.
That's how to sing a song and convey emotion . Pure and simple, great performance.
Touched to my very soul...I love this man and his magic music
Just in awe at the emotion and power in this song as well as Nathaniel’s amazing voice.
What a voice.
Each time I hear this song, the more I love it. This scaled back version is the best so far.
I love him with the night sweats, but his solo work shows just how talented he is!
What a voice, what a melody, what a performance! Simply marvelous❤️
He’s a poet in musician’s clothing and I sure am glad.
No other artist like the myth himself. Rock on Nathaniel!
With much love,
Your Fans
One of the most beautiful songs I've ever heard. Almost impossible not to shed tears while listening to this, especially through his impassioned chorus.

Time stands in a duel and I stand for you
Now lean and use your weight
That's what a shoulder's made for
Carry all the dead and children from here
Curses on the men and the greed that seems to plague them
I can't raise my hand so I'm raising my voice
Are you just too old or too young to carry?
Time stands in a duel and I stand for you
Are you just too old or too young to carry?
Time stands in a duel and I stand for you
Time stands in a duel and I stand for you
Time stands in a duel and I stand for you
Feel it in my bones
I wonder if he knows how good he is? Amazing 👏❤ i can't wait to catch them live.
To much burden in one song but very well needed in these times to help share the load. Ta for true blue empthany through song 🌈
You can feel the resolve that comes from struggle.
I remember seeing him in bluesfest in ottawa; It was the best!
Cold chills.
Excellent.. I raised the volume.. 💗🎶😁
