Nahko - Hamakua [Official Music Video]

Official Music Video for "Hamakua" by Nahko And Medicine For The People

Medicine Tribe!

This song, in particular, doesn’t fit into the 18-21-year-old bracket. I cheated a little here because I just couldn’t put this song on the record. It is such a crucial tune that defines this time, even though it was a little later in the timeline. I was probably nearly 22 when I wrote this song. I had already come back to Hawaii after meeting my mom, traveling northern California, went to Burning Man, and now was living on the ‘farm’ with ‘ol 7 Feathers ( Jason Fox ).

You see, I’m an Aquarius. Jason, a Taurus. Both of us fiercely independent, it’s safe to say we butted heads from time to time. Years later, I realized how impatient I was with him. I wanted to evolve more rapidly, be air, try things out, let it flow. Jason liked his ways, fiercely earth, and was much slower to change. Needless to say, in my youth, I was a firecracker. Perhaps some would say I still am.

Instead of focusing on pining after someone I wanted to keep and be just for me, my medicine became the fact that people always leave and go. With that in mind, at that time, I could try to live without the suffering of the departure of the physical, be present in each moment, and live in gratitude for time well spent. Each notch I climbed in my great wall to consciousness led me higher to reasoning and I let my first archetype die, little by little. After all, before Hamakua who the hell was I?

[kevgmor]

your music has been an integral part of my Recovery from mental illness....wanted to say Thank you, Nahko

[lukasbellik]

Read the book. It gives his songs so much substance. I am so thankful for Nahko. The medicine is working 🥰. Man everyday I come back for the medicine. I'm not sure what I would I have done after I Woke up. I felt alone. Then I found Nahko Satsang Wookiefoot Rudd And plenty more Natalie Rize. And learned I was part of a larger Tribe of the Children of The 🌞. We are the ancient ones reincarnate. And it's amazing to find a Tribe ppl who are the exact same as you grew up like you had a bad past mistakes learning the hard way. It all comes full circle. Just gotta ride that 🌊.

seeing the use of the footage from the skateboard Hamakua and aloha ke akua sessions as well as old footage that lives on youtube makes my soul smile.

Hello Nahko. I Love your music...im 54 and My son Paul 14 introduced me to your songs. I was intrigued by your wisdom.
I started encouraging my son to listen with his heart to your lyrics. He is learning to play the guitar. We wanted to learn more about you. In an interview you mentioned that your Mother is Mescalero!
My nephews and nieces are Mescalero...my brother lives on there.
That was the connection that deepened our passion to share your music.
Were going to see you live in Phoenix.
Thank you for creating great songs.

This guy is something very special. His music is truly medicine for the soul. I know I am waking up in part because of this amazing artist.

[emilyleahhagler]

Who the hell am I? That's what I'm trying to figure out at this point in my life. Facing so much darkness for deeper meaning and healing. Thank you, my brother. You have been one of my angels helping to guide me home.

[michaelkimball]

I absolutely love you brother. I found you through Trevor years ago. Trevor changed my life. I was heading down a path of destruction. Then I found him which lead me to you. I have been clean for a while now. I owe a lot of it to Trevor and you. Love, light your way! Best song ever!

[kimberlyc]

Every light I come across is green here lately.
Streets straight.

Signs from the universe, don't take it to far keep letting life lead you or flow.

[jimmerseiber]

That version of black as night in the back of that truck, gandola sessions wash it away, 7 feathers, Ahola, budding trees official vidro etc all play a part in my happiness. This video is now added to those. This song touches my soul. And this video is magic. I love you, Nahko Bear

[alexandrias.]

As I dig deeper into Nahko's music and see all of the amazing fans that simply just "get" his message, I'm actually quite surprised at the number of people in this world who have attained some level of presence. It gives me hope that we as beings are moving in the right direction. I understand we are still a minority, but our numbers are growing thanks to the beautiful artists, poets and sages like Nahko. Peace.
