about

Virtues are dead.

Maybe a part of me is dead too. For my debut solo release, I wanted to do everything wrong. I needed space to feel free to explore. “Virtues” was written in an empty mansion out in the desert where we were living during the onset of quarantine. I felt so hollow those initial days of quarantine, just cold. I had lost so much - almost my entire life.

That desperation led me down a path where I began to wonder about my own insecurities, my own personal failings, and shortcomings. “Virtues” is a self-reflection of how this world has become void of the basic virtues that are the core foundation of humanity.

No label push, no shrink wrap, just self-released, with no marketing budget, on the most oversaturated media of the year. The honest truth is; I am tired of musicians being pushed around while the politicians are on the front of Rolling Stone.

Nathaniel Paul is set to release a full-length album this summer via AWAL.
Nathaniel is 1/2 of the duo The Bergamot and is currently co-producing a full-length documentary called “State of the Unity” filmed over the entire journey in 2016 set to be released later in 2021.

lyrics

Innocence
What did I miss
A world like this
I’m void
Of who you are

Lovely grace
Please show
Your face
To this human race
Cuz’ we can’t get it
Right

All I ever
Knew
Was to try and do some good
Help my brother out
If I could
All I do now
Is I try to tear them down
Living life like I’m not around
Live like it’s just another
Day
How can I live this way

(Breathe)
Like I’m not around
Oh

Sympathy
What do you think of me
When I walk right by
A man
I could try to help

Tenderness and bitterness
No balance
In me
Right now

Even if we can’t
Get it right
Damn we’ve got
To try
All I ever
Knew
Was to try and do some good
Help my brother out
If I could
All I do now
Is I try to tear them down
Living life like I’m not around
Live like it’s just another
Day
How can I live this way

Like I’m not around
Like I’m not around
Like I’m not around

Like I’m not around
Like I’m not around
Like I’m not around
