If I'm being honest, I wrote lonely in such a dark place. Next thing I know, you guys were all reaching out to me. Showing me love. Thank you for pulling me out. This is my song about that process. Love you all. Hope you like it.
It's been 4 years since this song came out. I can't believe i found it a week ago. This song is so relatable to me. Not only the music is so beautiful but the lyric hits deep too
From This : If I looked you in the eye And showed the broken things inside Would you run away? If you saw my darkest parts The wicked things inside my heart Would you run away? Or are you the same? To This : If I looked you in the eye And showed the broken things inside I won't run away If you saw my darkest parts The wicked things inside my heart I won't run away this is beautiful. it's true when we say we are not alone. there's always someone out there for everyone. ♡ love lonely, love innocence and love you nathan. i'm so glad i discovered a precious gem, that is you. 💜 keep singing with that beautiful voice of yours. 💌
My favorite part is the bridge, where the person asks what would happen if they showed them the “broken things inside” and the “wicked things inside their heart” and the good voice says they won’t run away, like somebody in your life who won’t leave you even in the darkest time of your life.
Best. Song. Ever “Darling won’t u let it go” “You don’t have to let it hold you” “Listen to the light” “Don’t let the darkness take you” I tell myself that everyday when I’m down. And everyday since my best friend’s suicide two years ago
This song reminds me of my friend who commited Suicide 2 years ago... I was her light that tried to cleanse her soul. Ultimately she just couldn't get the help she needed. But when I tried to take my own life 3 months ago... I felt her presence, I can't exactly explain it, but, She didn't want the Darkness taking me like it did her, and She was my personal angel keeping me alive while I got the help I needed. And this song really does hit different now.
There was a time when I thought that how things were before were how things are going to end, but with all I've experienced I know things will always get better despite what everyone says and what the news says. They can spout their lies as much as they want but I will not give in because I got a God that refuses to give up on me! I couldn't have asked for a better friend than God and I'll be dammed if I just role over and conform to the lies that I'm a horrible person just because they said so!!
The angelic voice saying "I'll take you to the garden where we'd go" and "I'll cleanse your soul" sometimes feels like that voice is God himself talking to me when I'm down. Followed by the loud, challenging bit, this song follows my interactions with Him so well, I can't stop listening to this on repeat sometimes. Edit: I forgot to mention the part at the end when Nathan stops singing and just yells. Sometimes there are no words, and you just need to scream out your emotions. This song is so perfectly put together.
I like your music a lot. Its very relateable. This one has a very soft tune, and has very powerful words~! OMG 4:10 is AMAZING!!!!!! HOLY CRAP! YOU DO A CALL BACK TO LONELY! YOUR MUSIC IS SO CINIMATIC.
The echo in the song makes it that much more mystical. This song feels like a movie. A guy who has been consumed by anger and darkness. This guy is trying to escape all of the darkness, but he can't do it alone. Somebody (in this case the people supporting him) came into his life, breaking him out of the chains he has been in for so long. Although he has his doubts, he does come to the light. We won't run away, Nathan. We are here to help you listen to the light.
This is so beautiful. You are so beautiful. I love you. Thank you so much for listening! Again and again. Keeping me running towards the light not the darkness. Bless you
"Your memories aren't your destiny".......that spoke volumes to me. This song was such a punch in the face in a good way. Stopped me dead in my tracks. It made me realize that I need to change, if that makes sense. Thank you for this, Nathan💔❤
Amazing song! I'm a quiet person, though I create little movie scenes in my brain that sticks to particular songs. If you're interested, this is the scene that plays when I listen to this music: 0:00 The scene opens with Darkness - a man in a greasy flowing black cloak staggering drunkenly through an old cemetery. No one is around, though behind him comes a harsh light, chasing him. The jailer who forever hunts him for his crimes, a crusader sworn to destroy evil has caught up to him. 0:28 He falls to his knees near the fountain in the center of the gravestones, lamenting his nature. As Darkness he was born to be evil, to hurt those he loves, to take things he does not deserve. He dreams of the time before he wore the dark mantle of evil, to simpler times. 0:52 He begs someone, anyone to rid him of his curse. To cleanse his soul of his taint, to make him whole again. As he kneels, the black cloak swirls around him like a clinging spider web, obscuring his body, and binding him. The living cloak of Darkness oozes thick black ink-like blood, and throbs with unnatural unholy power. He is powerless to cast it off alone. 1:27 From out of the mist, soft footsteps approach, a young girl in a simple white dress who kneels before him, whispering words of encouragement. She listens to him confess his sins, his struggles, and his sorrow for all he is and all his crimes. She is Innocence. 2:15 She promises him the salvation he wishes, but she does not make a move, neither to help the ickor bound man, nor to punish him. She beseeches him to search within himself, to seek the light and fend off the encroaching darkness. 3:15 "Your Memories Aren't your Destiny." What you were before, does not have to be what you become. Your story's beginning does not dictate it's end. Reminding him he is free to choose his own path or fate, regardless what 'destiny' was supposedly chosen for him. 4:05 The dark web around him flared dangerously against her, revealing several mouths full of fangs and multiple claws and terrible wings. They lash out dangerously around him as the man reaches out to push the girl away, fearing for her life. The evil is too strong, he says, that she must flee or risk being hurt. His eyes flash with fire, his soul revealing the terrible deeds he had done before. His body is consumed as the cloak sprouts legs and arms rising to its feet to loom over her. But she does not flinch, only standing defiantly before the flailing claws and talons of this multi-limbed beast that threatens her. 4:30 Her feet leave the ground as she floats up to see into the monster's eyes face to face, beseeching him to listen to the light. But the setting sun is gone, the sky dimming as darkness creeps up the horizon to obscure the stars and blot out the moon. The monstrosity growing larger and larger. Yet still she smiles, for the sky's light is not what she refers to... 5:08 And from within the tangled mass of blackened sinew and bone of the hulking monster flickers a light of courage and defiance. With the beat of the drums the true heart of the man flickers to life. Flashing through the suffocating darkness. Stronger and stronger it beats until it is a blinding pulsing beacon of light. With each ripple, part of the encasing black form is torn away, piece by piece. All the while the soft voice of the girl encouraging him until every last piece of 'Darkness' is sundered, leaving just the man - a new man called Desire, whose path, be it evil or good, is his own to choose.
NivMizzet13 ...THIS, these words, this story is worth more than ANYTHING considered “ precious “ by the worlds standards!!! THANK YOU💙I will NEVER stop believing💙🙏💙=💖
5 years ago I commented on this & this song helped me in a dark place then. Ive been in a dark place recently again & once again this song & your others have helped me. So,again, Nathan thank you so much for your art 🙏🙏🙏🙏🙏🥹🥹🥹🥹🥹🥹
> "Listen to the Light - don’t let the darkness take you." -- Nathan, we love your message and your songs. You don't need to be "perfect" just be yourself, we ALL love you and your work, just for who you are. You have a GIFT from God. Your music already 'speaks' to the world, we have all either been there, or we are going through your similar themes that you sing about. Absolutely LOVE this song, very, very deep. Just stay 'focussed' - and I just know that you know what I mean by that.
"your memories aren't your destiny" and "you dont have to let it hold you" hit me hard Your music makes me feel so seen; I'm grateful God introduced me to hero which led me to listen to more
So heart touching... One can feel Love, Hope and Friendship along with Failure, Lost and Melancholy... Really loved it! So Meaningfull and Inspirational... IDK how to describe all that i feel while listening to it, just an Ineffable!
All I’m gonna say about this song: You have no idea how much I needed to hear this. Thank you Nathan. And May you continue going strong all the way to the end. From someone who’s finally no longer a broken soul anymore.
Every journey is one we undertake alone - but the path is one walked by many. The journey of our lives may be unique, with challenges and pitfalls that we all fall into, but there are always people by our side. Do not be afraid to fall - and you do not have to stand alone.
This song is a masterpiece!....A motivation to many....can relate it....the sound,the vocals and the LYRICS uplift me every time i hear this beautiful beautiful song.....thank you @ Nathan Wagner💓best wishes.... waiting for more solace from your lovely songs 🙂
This is art. So amazing. God can use every broken peace of our heart - this is such a beautiful example for it. You express feelings, that others can't even comprehend. So beautiful!! We need more honesty in this world. More honesty about our brokenness. Especially before our God. I can't imagine how proud and touched Jesus must be of this and so many other songs of you. This is pure. Honestly... So many details... My heart is deeply moved. God bless you, brother!
Most of the time I think that coincidences do not exist. That everything that comes into your life is for a reason. This song came to me without warning, on TH-cam, a huge surprise to have discovered this great work of art made song. I can't stop listening to it, since 4 days ago. Last night I fell asleep listening to it, after I don't know how many times I was delighted with it, the lyrics, the music, the melody, being able to feel the soul put the artists in it. This topic means a lot to me, I have always thought that innocence and cleanliness of the soul are there, but you just have to be willing to appreciate it. Thank you Nathan, infinite, for having brought this topic into my life. I would even like to be able to collaborate with each other, and to be able to have this theme for my future film. It would be an honor. Thank you from the heart for making those who are willing to experience it feel so much. It is a magical and most purifying experience. Again, eternally grateful.
This sounds a lot like my prayers. It’s a place we all need to go back to - the innocence of childhood. No Anger, no suspicion, accepting each other as we are without reservation or malice. When we have darkness if we turn to God in Jesus Christ, and repent, God is quick to forgive us and cleanse us. He’s helped me so much with my darkness. We are all born beautiful and innocent. Life sometimes puts on a dark path. We have to continue to follow the light.
There's no need to keep your innocence. Trying to stay innocent when you've already seen the world as it is is just going to hold you back. Trying to stay the same person you were before is going to hold you back. If nobody likes you for who you are now, the broken, scarred and tortured soul, that will 1. suck, and 2. mean that the people you were around before sucked. Instead of keeping those people, you need to find the strength in you to ditch them and keep going. No matter how alone you are now, you will end up bumping into someone that can help you. Being alone doesn't mean that you're a bad person, it means you learned what people can be like. Not everyone will leave you, like shown in this song. Please keep going (to anyone that needs to hear this). Once you see the world, you can't go back. You're like a newborn baby experiencing the world in rose-tinted glasses. Once you see the world, those glasses you had on, come off. You need help getting through it, don't be afraid of asking for it. God bless those people that saw the world at a young age.
I know what you mean. Been alone my whole life due life experience and traumas. I feel so alone and it fucking sucks to be the wisest. But thanks for your words. x
@@Witchyrose2349 I, myself, haven't been through anything, so I won't pretend to understand. Please keep going :) I'm sure you'll be able to find what you need to heal. Maybe it's right in front of you. I think right now, the most important thing would be to help yourself. If you ever feel the need to talk to anyone, I know someone trustworthy that will listen to you (of course I can help too, but they might be able to understand more as they went through quite a lot). If you ever need to talk, I can give you their discord. Sorry, I don't mean to pressure you. Just know that this is an option for you. I'm positive that you're strong enough to keep going, and I'm proud of you for getting this far. I don't know what would happen to me if I was alone. Good luck!
This honestly made me suddenly cry when She sang "I won't run away" because it came so sudden and unexpected. Your songs always catch me on a personal level because they speak exactly what I feel. And I kind of associate with a lot of your lyrics! When I heard "lonely" i was in a rough time figuring out if i should tell a special person that I care a lot about them. And I was scared that they would reject me. I felt like in your song. And just now I listened to this song here and hearing that part of lyrics and then THE VOICE REPLYING was somewhat instantly making me cry. Trust me, this is not happening often to me and it really really caught me on an emotional level.
Nathan, thank you so much for this. This is my story indeed. 😊 God Bless you! Continue to do beautiful songs for the world. Blessing for you and your household!💖🙌🎼
One of the best songs I've ever heard in my life. Your voice is so beautiful and affectionate ❤😭 I will never give up on this song. Thank you so much for making us happy 🌟💕
Such an awesome song, and the reference to Lonely gave me goosebumps. Your voice is awesome, your talent is unmistakable, and your message is impactful. Thanks for this, Nathan, it's always great to hear what you put out. Keep it up, brother!
"Your memories aren't your destiny" I hold this line close to my heart. I think I might've passed the roughest part of my life by far and now that things are looking up for once, I am trying to heal but it's so hard to leave all of that pain behind when it's all you've known and all that gave you security. I have to relearn everything about how to live a healthy life with a healthy mind and be happy. I know that the ache of what I've been through will never be fully gone but I don't want it to stop me from living a life that I deserve. ❤
This song popped up on my playlist for perhaps the millionth time just now, but it still hits so hard. I lost my best friend on Dec 2nd. It's my first time listening to this song since then. Started crying in the car. Thank you for helping me through the process of learning to survive without her. Your music has carried me through so much. Thank you
You know over the last five or so years I listen to your songs at different stages of mental health (getting way better) and its profound, your songs evolve along with the journey every listen is a new adventure, a new challenge, a new enlightenment, i hope you know how much you've allowed people to heal, for me as always i thankyou forever got my back as I will have yours, have a great day 💚
This speaks so deeply to my heart...I see two special characters one hurt where he/she thinks no one can ever love such a beast and the other is he/she one who reels the hurt character back to with a light that the darkness tried to snuff out but the perseverance of the human heart to love can conquer all. Just so beautifully put from the melody to the enchanting vocals just so breathtaking!
This hurt me so bad when i listened to it but at the same time I feel oddly comforted and at peace. It didn't hurt because of my own pain but the pain of others who I wish, as the song quotes, 'heard the light'. I hope everyone out their struggling and at their wits end listens to the light, whatever that may be for them, and they fight through. Love to everyone!
@@nathanwagner762 Oh my gosh! Thanks so much for responding even if it is a simple emoji! hahaha hope things in your life are going well. Look after yourself! You are a amazingly talented so please keep it up. XXxx
I feel in love with this song the moment I heard it. It is so beautiful and brimming with torment that makes me believe every word. Not only does it invoke feelings of hope, but I relate on a level even I didn't know was possible. Thanks for being astonishing, and keep doing what you do best, Nathan!
I just wanna say that this masterpiece is still being listened to in 2022, and it is so strong. It is so needed. This pandemic has devastated so many and the strength and compassion in this song kept me going multiple times. Much love and stay strong ♥️
I cried listening to this, I haven't heard a song that describes me as much as this one in a long time, everything here resonated with my soul. Thank you for making this, I am tearing up.
Songs are one of the most important parts of my life.I am madly in love with this song, It's with everything about the song : the voice, the tune and obviously the lyrics... music is nothing but love, this song touched my heart very deeply. Literally I cried...💙✨🌿
You have real talent. I have been listening to music like an obsession for most of my life. You have something. I can tell from the way some of your songs get intense, when you go for a song with power, you're gonna rock. There's just something about the way you sing. It is moving. I honestly believe you will be big, and if you somehow dont, than it isnt your fault. You make masterpeices.
@@nathanwagner762 lol I still dont get how you aren't so famous you dont have time to reply. I suppose in time. Gotta find a way to promote. You got the talent like no other.
This is such an amazing song. “Always in this inner fight Do I listen to the voice that says I’m Worthless never will be right Do I try to keep my head up high Though I feel that I deserve it all These daggers going through my chest Can’t you see the devastated souls The remains of my own foolishness” How do I not listen? I had someone who was there for me. They were my “light”, until they left me. A promise is always broken, especially by those who swore it wouldn’t be. But thank you Nathan, for another beautiful song. Keep going.
An odd place. I always turn on the song when I'm down and out. All I hear is listen to the light. I know I'm worthless. But there is a voice here that promises to cleanse my soul and make me a whole. I do not know who speaks to me.....but I'm glad I'm not letting the darkness take me. ❤❤
Well, I tried. I made it through almost the entire song without crying, but I absolutely broke when the lyrics from lonely came in. Thank you, Nathan, for all your beautiful work. You've touched my spirit in a deep, wonderful way. I love you man ❤
That’s absolutely beautiful. It’s what I needed to hear. I came here finding out about you from another channel. I watched Lonely.. and it went from: If I looked at you in the eye And showed the broken things inside Would you run away? Would you run away? Woah If you saw my darkest parts The wicked things inside my heart Would you run away? Or are you the same..? To: If I looked you in the eye And showed the broken things inside I won’t run away, I won’t run away If you saw my broken parts The wicked things inside my heart I won’t run away, I won’t run away.. If that isn’t beautiful, than I literally don’t know what is. ❤️
Listening to this song was an experience. I live near Kentucky Lake which has a dam that separates the lake and the Tennessee River. I sometimes walk by the lake to think about life and other things. One night, at 5 am, I decided to do something different and go for a walk on the walkway that lead to the dam. It was pitch black outside with only the walkway's lamps lighting the way and stormy clouds above me. The lake's waves were restless this night so you could hear the pounding the rocks of the walkway. While listening to this song, I attempted to look out to the lake while near the dam and the experience was indescribable. I don't care what your religious views are, for a moment, I felt myself looking into the void of the afterlife that waits everybody. The blackness of the night, the roaring of the lake waves, the feeling of lake side air, and nobody else but me, my thoughts, and this song. I felt like I changed after the night. Like I caught a glimpse of what's to come for everyone. The unforgiving inevitably of death that awaits us all. But I felt at peace. Like I was okay with it. That I accepted it. This song helped with that experience and I can't thank you enough for giving me an enlightening experience.
Innocence is the best song you've ever made in my opinion, sometimes I just take a moment to listen closely to this song, it means so much to me and is so relatable. Never am I gonna change my mind on how beautiful it is
Such a powerful song. Bringing it back to Lonely REALLY set the bar. Just amazing. I love how your songs are towards God and how vulnerable you allow yourself to be. Because everyone here, is vulnerable too.
If I'm being honest, I wrote lonely in such a dark place. Next thing I know, you guys were all reaching out to me. Showing me love. Thank you for pulling me out. This is my song about that process. Love you all. Hope you like it.
Nathan Wagner little do you know, your pulling people out of the same dark place with your music. So thank you.

I love the way this song quotes 'Lonely'. Sounds like a sequel. Amazing!
You're the greatest 😊
Because it MAY be a sequel hihi
Best. Song. Ever
“Darling won’t u let it go”
“You don’t have to let it hold you”
“Listen to the light”
“Don’t let the darkness take you”
I tell myself that everyday when I’m down. And everyday since my best friend’s suicide two years ago
Thank you for sharing and never forget!
Always remember don’t give up, no mat how far you fall you can always bounce up
🥺 I felt this.
This song reminds me of my friend who commited Suicide 2 years ago... I was her light that tried to cleanse her soul. Ultimately she just couldn't get the help she needed.

There was a time when I thought that how things were before were how things are going to end, but with all I've experienced I know things will always get better despite what everyone says and what the news says. They can spout their lies as much as they want but I will not give in because I got a God that refuses to give up on me! I couldn't have asked for a better friend than God and I'll be dammed if I just role over and conform to the lies that I'm a horrible person just because they said so!!
Same
Reminds me of the quote:
*"We cling to memories as if they define us. But what we do defines us."*
~ 草薙素子~
The angelic voice saying "I'll take you to the garden where we'd go" and "I'll cleanse your soul" sometimes feels like that voice is God himself talking to me when I'm down.

The echo in the song makes it that much more mystical. This song feels like a movie. A guy who has been consumed by anger and darkness. This guy is trying to escape all of the darkness, but he can't do it alone. Somebody (in this case the people supporting him) came into his life, breaking him out of the chains he has been in for so long. Although he has his doubts, he does come to the light. We won't run away, Nathan. We are here to help you listen to the light.
This is so beautiful. You are so beautiful. I love you. Thank you so much for listening! Again and again. Keeping me running towards the light not the darkness. Bless you
Wow touching

i broke down into tears the second i heard the first piano note.... this song is beautifully powerful.
Glad to hear you like it! I appreciate you!
Amazing song! I'm a quiet person, though I create little movie scenes in my brain that sticks to particular songs. If you're interested, this is the scene that plays when I listen to this music:
0:00 The scene opens with Darkness - a man in a greasy flowing black cloak staggering drunkenly through an old cemetery. No one is around, though behind him comes a harsh light, chasing him. The jailer who forever hunts him for his crimes, a crusader sworn to destroy evil has caught up to him.
0:28 He falls to his knees near the fountain in the center of the gravestones, lamenting his nature. As Darkness he was born to be evil, to hurt those he loves, to take things he does not deserve. He dreams of the time before he wore the dark mantle of evil, to simpler times.

As he kneels, the black cloak swirls around him like a clinging spider web, obscuring his body, and binding him. The living cloak of Darkness oozes thick black ink-like blood, and throbs with unnatural unholy power. He is powerless to cast it off alone.
1:27 From out of the mist, soft footsteps approach, a young girl in a simple white dress who kneels before him, whispering words of encouragement. She listens to him confess his sins, his struggles, and his sorrow for all he is and all his crimes. She is Innocence.
2:15 She promises him the salvation he wishes, but she does not make a move, neither to help the ickor bound man, nor to punish him. She beseeches him to search within himself, to seek the light and fend off the encroaching darkness.
3:15 "Your Memories Aren't your Destiny." What you were before, does not have to be what you become. Your story's beginning does not dictate it's end. Reminding him he is free to choose his own path or fate, regardless what 'destiny' was supposedly chosen for him.
4:05 The dark web around him flared dangerously against her, revealing several mouths full of fangs and multiple claws and terrible wings. They lash out dangerously around him as the man reaches out to push the girl away, fearing for her life. The evil is too strong, he says, that she must flee or risk being hurt. His eyes flash with fire, his soul revealing the terrible deeds he had done before. His body is consumed as the cloak sprouts legs and arms rising to its feet to loom over her. But she does not flinch, only standing defiantly before the flailing claws and talons of this multi-limbed beast that threatens her.
4:30 Her feet leave the ground as she floats up to see into the monster's eyes face to face, beseeching him to listen to the light. But the setting sun is gone, the sky dimming as darkness creeps up the horizon to obscure the stars and blot out the moon. The monstrosity growing larger and larger. Yet still she smiles, for the sky's light is not what she refers to...
5:08 And from within the tangled mass of blackened sinew and bone of the hulking monster flickers a light of courage and defiance. With the beat of the drums the true heart of the man flickers to life. Flashing through the suffocating darkness. Stronger and stronger it beats until it is a blinding pulsing beacon of light. With each ripple, part of the encasing black form is torn away, piece by piece. All the while the soft voice of the girl encouraging him until every last piece of 'Darkness' is sundered, leaving just the man - a new man called Desire, whose path, be it evil or good, is his own to choose.

5 years ago I commented on this & this song helped me in a dark place then. Ive been in a dark place recently again & once again this song & your others have helped me. So,again, Nathan thank you so much for your art 🙏🙏🙏🙏🙏🥹🥹🥹🥹🥹🥹
> "Listen to the Light - don’t let the darkness take you." -- Nathan, we love your message and your songs. You don't need to be "perfect" just be yourself, we ALL love you and your work, just for who you are. You have a GIFT from God. Your music already 'speaks' to the world, we have all either been there, or we are going through your similar themes that you sing about. Absolutely LOVE this song, very, very deep. Just stay 'focussed' - and I just know that you know what I mean by that.
❤️❤️❤️
I've never cried to music before, ever, and this somehow made me sob like a little baby. Thank you Nathan Wagner, your music has touched my soul.
I'm so sorry 😢 I pray it blesses you
Every Single Song...3 Times Are Morn...Just Can't Get Enough Of You...Woman's Voice Is Breathless...God Bless🙏Darling Won't You Let It Go...........
Thank you!
He is the most underrated brilliant singer. The pain in his voice is of another level..
😊😊😊😊😊
"your memories aren't your destiny" and "you dont have to let it hold you" hit me hard
Your music makes me feel so seen; I'm grateful God introduced me to hero which led me to listen to more

ILY Nathan💛💛
Honored ☺️
Thanks so much for taking the time to listen Sara. ILY!
Beautiful song as usual. God bless you Mr.Wagner. I will be looking forward to your next song.

Here I am at work, crying up a storm because I relate on a deep level. Thank you very much for this song, it's on my favorites now ❤️

Everytime, I'm feeling anxious or when my depression gets the best of me I listen to this song and it just calms me down immediately.
Thank you ❤
Of course!
You make beautiful music I love you so much
So heart touching... One can feel Love, Hope and Friendship along with Failure, Lost and Melancholy... Really loved it! So Meaningfull and Inspirational... IDK how to describe all that i feel while listening to it, just an Ineffable!
Thank you so much for taking the time to listen 😊🙏
"before I saw my father cry" is such a strong line in my life. Thank you for this amazing piece!
Of course!
All I’m gonna say about this song:
You have no idea how much I needed to hear this.
Thank you Nathan. And May you continue going strong all the way to the end.
From someone who’s finally no longer a broken soul anymore.
Thank you so much! Means a lot! Wish you the best also!
Such a beautiful song, I could feel all the words of it, it made me cry ❤
I'm so glad you were able to connect with the song and the lyrics. Your amazing!
Every journey is one we undertake alone - but the path is one walked by many. The journey of our lives may be unique, with challenges and pitfalls that we all fall into, but there are always people by our side. Do not be afraid to fall - and you do not have to stand alone.
Man I love how you changed the lyrics at the end from the song Lonely, I love your songs so much, they got me through many struggles :)
Much love
This song is a masterpiece!....A motivation to many....can relate it....the sound,the vocals and the LYRICS uplift me every time i hear this beautiful beautiful song.....thank you @ Nathan Wagner💓best wishes.... waiting for more solace from your lovely songs 🙂
This meant so much to me. I am so thankful! I hope you keep getting uplifted!
This is art.
So amazing.
God can use every broken peace of our heart - this is such a beautiful example for it.
You express feelings, that others can't even comprehend.
So beautiful!!
We need more honesty in this world. More honesty about our brokenness. Especially before our God.
I can't imagine how proud and touched Jesus must be of this and so many other songs of you.
This is pure.
Honestly... So many details...
My heart is deeply moved.
God bless you, brother!
😢Thank you I appreciate the listen. I hope that you are blessed every moment life can give you.
Most of the time I think that coincidences do not exist. That everything that comes into your life is for a reason. This song came to me without warning, on TH-cam, a huge surprise to have discovered this great work of art made song. I can't stop listening to it, since 4 days ago. Last night I fell asleep listening to it, after I don't know how many times I was delighted with it, the lyrics, the music, the melody, being able to feel the soul put the artists in it. This topic means a lot to me, I have always thought that innocence and cleanliness of the soul are there, but you just have to be willing to appreciate it. Thank you Nathan, infinite, for having brought this topic into my life. I would even like to be able to collaborate with each other, and to be able to have this theme for my future film. It would be an honor.
Thank you from the heart for making those who are willing to experience it feel so much. It is a magical and most purifying experience.
Again, eternally grateful.
Honored! Thank you so much!
This sounds a lot like my prayers. It’s a place we all need to go back to - the innocence of childhood. No Anger, no suspicion, accepting each other as we are without reservation or malice. When we have darkness if we turn to God in Jesus Christ, and repent, God is quick to forgive us and cleanse us. He’s helped me so much with my darkness. We are all born beautiful and innocent. Life sometimes puts on a dark path. We have to continue to follow the light.
❤️
There's no need to keep your innocence. Trying to stay innocent when you've already seen the world as it is is just going to hold you back. Trying to stay the same person you were before is going to hold you back. If nobody likes you for who you are now, the broken, scarred and tortured soul, that will 1. suck, and 2. mean that the people you were around before sucked. Instead of keeping those people, you need to find the strength in you to ditch them and keep going. No matter how alone you are now, you will end up bumping into someone that can help you. Being alone doesn't mean that you're a bad person, it means you learned what people can be like. Not everyone will leave you, like shown in this song. Please keep going (to anyone that needs to hear this).
Once you see the world, you can't go back. You're like a newborn baby experiencing the world in rose-tinted glasses. Once you see the world, those glasses you had on, come off. You need help getting through it, don't be afraid of asking for it.
God bless those people that saw the world at a young age.
I know what you mean. Been alone my whole life due life experience and traumas. I feel so alone and it fucking sucks to be the wisest. But thanks for your words. x
@@Witchyrose2349 I, myself, haven't been through anything, so I won't pretend to understand. Please keep going :) I'm sure you'll be able to find what you need to heal. Maybe it's right in front of you. I think right now, the most important thing would be to help yourself. If you ever feel the need to talk to anyone, I know someone trustworthy that will listen to you (of course I can help too, but they might be able to understand more as they went through quite a lot). If you ever need to talk, I can give you their discord. Sorry, I don't mean to pressure you. Just know that this is an option for you. I'm positive that you're strong enough to keep going, and I'm proud of you for getting this far. I don't know what would happen to me if I was alone.
Good luck!
🙏
This honestly made me suddenly cry when She sang "I won't run away" because it came so sudden and unexpected. Your songs always catch me on a personal level because they speak exactly what I feel. And I kind of associate with a lot of your lyrics! When I heard "lonely" i was in a rough time figuring out if i should tell a special person that I care a lot about them. And I was scared that they would reject me. I felt like in your song. And just now I listened to this song here and hearing that part of lyrics and then THE VOICE REPLYING was somewhat instantly making me cry. Trust me, this is not happening often to me and it really really caught me on an emotional level.
🙏🙏🙏
Nathan, thank you so much for this. This is my story indeed. 😊 God Bless you! Continue to do beautiful songs for the world. Blessing for you and your household!💖🙌🎼
God bless you too!
One of the best songs I've ever heard in my life. Your voice is so beautiful and affectionate ❤😭 I will never give up on this song. Thank you so much for making us happy 🌟💕
Thank you!
Every time I hear this song... A wave hits my whole body and soul... Every time!!!! A wave of feelings that I want to express so much!!!!!
❤️
This music is just incredible
So I found this exactly in the moment that was necesary. Art can save our soul. Forever grateful!
❤️
😭 The pain and struggle expressed in your voice and the wails in the last part of this song need no words. Pure feels! Love!!
😭😭Thank you for listening 😭
Such an awesome song, and the reference to Lonely gave me goosebumps. Your voice is awesome, your talent is unmistakable, and your message is impactful. Thanks for this, Nathan, it's always great to hear what you put out. Keep it up, brother!
Thank you soo much for listening. I feel so blessed. I'll do my best :)
This song is amazing! It made me cry the first time because it related to me so much
🙌🙌🙌
"Your memories aren't your destiny"
I hold this line close to my heart. I think I might've passed the roughest part of my life by far and now that things are looking up for once, I am trying to heal but it's so hard to leave all of that pain behind when it's all you've known and all that gave you security. I have to relearn everything about how to live a healthy life with a healthy mind and be happy. I know that the ache of what I've been through will never be fully gone but I don't want it to stop me from living a life that I deserve. ❤
Much love❤️
Well done, Nathan. Thanks for being honest and putting your soul to music.
Of course :) Thank you so much for listening !
I've been looking for music like this.... it makes me feel pure, relaxed, and innocent idk about you but that's how i feel
I am so glad it makes you feel that way!
This song popped up on my playlist for perhaps the millionth time just now, but it still hits so hard. I lost my best friend on Dec 2nd. It's my first time listening to this song since then. Started crying in the car. Thank you for helping me through the process of learning to survive without her. Your music has carried me through so much. Thank you
I’m sorry to hear about your friend! Much love!
You know over the last five or so years I listen to your songs at different stages of mental health (getting way better) and its profound, your songs evolve along with the journey every listen is a new adventure, a new challenge, a new enlightenment, i hope you know how much you've allowed people to heal, for me as always i thankyou forever got my back as I will have yours, have a great day 💚
I'm only 11 years old and music has been my companion for a while now
But honestly I never ever felt music in this way 🤓 Thanku sir you are a gem
"
I hope you keep getting inspired with music in every way possible! Thank you so much for listening:)
..🙂
You’re songs are one of the most touching things I’ve ever listened too
I’m grateful!
This speaks so deeply to my heart...I see two special characters one hurt where he/she thinks no one can ever love such a beast and the other is he/she one who reels the hurt character back to with a light that the darkness tried to snuff out but the perseverance of the human heart to love can conquer all. Just so beautifully put from the melody to the enchanting vocals just so breathtaking!
That is such a beautiful image thank you for sharing!
This hurt me so bad when i listened to it but at the same time I feel oddly comforted and at peace. It didn't hurt because of my own pain but the pain of others who I wish, as the song quotes, 'heard the light'. I hope everyone out their struggling and at their wits end listens to the light, whatever that may be for them, and they fight through. Love to everyone!
🙏
@@nathanwagner762 Oh my gosh! Thanks so much for responding even if it is a simple emoji! hahaha hope things in your life are going well. Look after yourself! You are a amazingly talented so please keep it up. XXxx
Coming home from school and listening to Nathan's music is so good
BowtahChips Yep. I sit on the bus and plug in my headphones. I ignore all the nonsense around me and just enjoy the masterpiece.
:) So glad you like it!
@@Tei_022 This is so kind! Thank you so much :)
This song is fantastic and is my favorite for many reasons was worth while to find.
😊🙌🙏
💎✊🤝
I feel in love with this song the moment I heard it. It is so beautiful and brimming with torment that makes me believe every word. Not only does it invoke feelings of hope, but I relate on a level even I didn't know was possible. Thanks for being astonishing, and keep doing what you do best, Nathan!
Thank you so much! I hope the world keeps blessing you with all the hope there is🙏
I just wanna say that this masterpiece is still being listened to in 2022, and it is so strong. It is so needed. This pandemic has devastated so many and the strength and compassion in this song kept me going multiple times. Much love and stay strong ♥️
Much love
@@nathanwagner762 2023
This song makes me feel so broken and so complete at the same time. I really love it💕
❤️❤️❤️
Listening to Lonely and Innocence back to back makes me really emotional.
😢🙏😢🙏
I live in this song from year to day
❤️❤️❤️
dang those female vocals! i love how lonely is worked in at the end, it's 🔥🔥🔥🔥
Thank you! I'm so glad you like it!
I cried listening to this, I haven't heard a song that describes me as much as this one in a long time, everything here resonated with my soul. Thank you for making this, I am tearing up.
Sorry for the tears🙌
Songs are one of the most important parts of my life.I am madly in love with this song, It's with everything about the song : the voice, the tune and obviously the lyrics... music is nothing but love, this song touched my heart very deeply. Literally I cried...💙✨🌿
Sorry for making you cry!
@@nathanwagner762 No you don't have to feel sorry about it... I am just happy and happily cried..😅😊
This is probably the most touching piece of music I’ve ever heard. It’s like the human heart in song version, just breathtaking
:)
The perfect part two of Lonely. Still heart-wrenching and raw.
🙏🙏🙏
You have real talent. I have been listening to music like an obsession for most of my life. You have something. I can tell from the way some of your songs get intense, when you go for a song with power, you're gonna rock. There's just something about the way you sing. It is moving. I honestly believe you will be big, and if you somehow dont, than it isnt your fault. You make masterpeices.
Thank you!
@@nathanwagner762 lol I still dont get how you aren't so famous you dont have time to reply. I suppose in time. Gotta find a way to promote. You got the talent like no other.
This is such an amazing song.
“Always in this inner fight
Do I listen to the voice that says I’m
Worthless never will be right
Do I try to keep my head up high
Though I feel that I deserve it all
These daggers going through my chest
Can’t you see the devastated souls
The remains of my own foolishness”
How do I not listen? I had someone who was there for me. They were my “light”, until they left me. A promise is always broken, especially by those who swore it wouldn’t be. But thank you Nathan, for another beautiful song. Keep going.
Thank you for taking the time to listen! I appreciate you!
This is one of the most wonderful things I've heard in a while. Your music is SO beautiful. Thank you for sharing it with us. ❤️
Heyy thank you! You are so kind. Bless you!
You, my man, are miracle worker! Thank you so much!
Hey, honored! ❤️
An odd place. I always turn on the song when I'm down and out.
All I hear is listen to the light. I know I'm worthless.
But there is a voice here that promises to cleanse my soul and make me a whole.
I do not know who speaks to me.....but I'm glad I'm not letting the darkness take me.
❤❤
Well, I tried. I made it through almost the entire song without crying, but I absolutely broke when the lyrics from lonely came in.
Thank you, Nathan, for all your beautiful work. You've touched my spirit in a deep, wonderful way. I love you man ❤
Love you too! Thank you for listening to the song!
That’s absolutely beautiful. It’s what I needed to hear. I came here finding out about you from another channel. I watched Lonely.. and it went from:
If I looked at you in the eye
And showed the broken things inside
Would you run away?
Would you run away?
Woah
If you saw my darkest parts
The wicked things inside my heart
Would you run away?
Or are you the same..?
To:
If I looked you in the eye
And showed the broken things inside
I won’t run away, I won’t run away
If you saw my broken parts
The wicked things inside my heart
I won’t run away, I won’t run away..
If that isn’t beautiful, than I literally don’t know what is. ❤️
😢🙏❤️
The emotional tug of this song is breathtaking. The amount the times I've cried to this song is unreal. Thank you for making a masterpiece 💖
of course! Thank you for listening!
Listening to this song was an experience.
I live near Kentucky Lake which has a dam that separates the lake and the Tennessee River. I sometimes walk by the lake to think about life and other things. One night, at 5 am, I decided to do something different and go for a walk on the walkway that lead to the dam. It was pitch black outside with only the walkway's lamps lighting the way and stormy clouds above me. The lake's waves were restless this night so you could hear the pounding the rocks of the walkway. While listening to this song, I attempted to look out to the lake while near the dam and the experience was indescribable. I don't care what your religious views are, for a moment, I felt myself looking into the void of the afterlife that waits everybody. The blackness of the night, the roaring of the lake waves, the feeling of lake side air, and nobody else but me, my thoughts, and this song. I felt like I changed after the night. Like I caught a glimpse of what's to come for everyone. The unforgiving inevitably of death that awaits us all. But I felt at peace. Like I was okay with it. That I accepted it. This song helped with that experience and I can't thank you enough for giving me an enlightening experience.
Of course! I appreciate you! Thank you for listening!
Every time I listen to this, I get inspired to write a book; a beautiful book that'll touch people's hearts. You are an inspiration to all.
You’re so sweet! Thank you!
You deserve more recognition honestly . Remember us when you blow up 🥺💞.
Thank you so much! I appreciate you all no words can describe it
Innocence is the best song you've ever made in my opinion, sometimes I just take a moment to listen closely to this song, it means so much to me and is so relatable. Never am I gonna change my mind on how beautiful it is
Hey! I’m honored🙏
Such a powerful song. Bringing it back to Lonely REALLY set the bar. Just amazing. I love how your songs are towards God and how vulnerable you allow yourself to be. Because everyone here, is vulnerable too.
Thank you so much! I tried to run from vulnerable literal all my life. Thank you for receiving it. God bless you
your music is amazing friend
Thank you
A year later and still haven’t felt a more real pain come through in a song like the “ohs” in this one. Magical
😊❤️
