Combining beautiful acoustic guitars, lush harmonies, rich string arrangements, quirky instruments and subtle electronic tweaks, the music of Barnaby Bright has been featured on television shows such as ER, Days of Our Lives, and PBS Roadtrip Nation. They were the grand prize winners at the prestigious New York Song Circle Contest last year.
There is a transcendent thread in their lyrics, melodies and progressions that has an intangible but visceral timelessness and truth. The world has called and Barnaby Bright has answered. Their unique brand of "lush, chamber indie-folk" is a warm and welcome wind of change.
"Rebecca’s smooth, melodic vocals are reminiscent of Karen Carpenter or Shelby Flint...and Nathan’s incorporation of his jazz background into Garfunkel-y acoustic compositions bring diverse styles together to the folk in the road: a marriage of minds and hands and music."
-The Deli Magazine
"Sounds like: that special place somewhere between the sleek adult pop of The Weepies and the more intimate harmonied splendor of The Civil Wars...classically-trained vocalist Becky has an effortless, gorgeous tone while multi-instrumentalist Nathan adds harmony and a virtual kit bag of backing sound."
- Direct Current Music
Written by "Nathan and Becky Bliss." Except Yellow Moon and February written by "Becky and Nathan Bliss.
Though the song begins with just a lonely guitar and voice, the beautiful orchestral arrangements swell into orgasmic glory! This track goes in like a needle and out like an Elephant.
lyrics
Beggin' My Weakness
by Nathan Bliss
Knockin' my door, beggin' my weakness
I'm holdin' my breath
Down on the floor, beggin' for reasons
and tellin' myslef
Tell myself she won't mind
Tell myself just this time
Tell myself cruel is kind
Tell myself one more time
Knockin' her door, beggin' forgiveness
I'm holdin' my breath
She lets me in, makin' me breakfast
Still I do it again
I do it again
Tell myself she won't mind
Tell myself just this time
Tell myself cruel is kind
Tell myself one more time
