    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.

lyrics

Don't Look Down
by Nathan Bliss

We never knew the trouble down the road
We just hit the gas and kept on driving
The rain was falling fast
The wipers beat lopsided rhythms in the darkness

Headlights from the head on cars threw light
against the glass, exploding diamonds
And we were driving way too fast
Running from the past we left behind us

We didn’t wanna know
Didn’t wannna see the ground
Like walking a tight rope
Just keep moving don’t look down

We pulled into a truck stop
Somewhere just outside of Needles California
You asked me for ten bucks and I said
“What about the last ten bucks I loaned you?”

We stumbled thru the aisles trading secret smiles
And laughing at the owners
The newspapers read ‘Garcia Dead!’
You cried and I tried to console you

We didn’t wanna know
Didn’t wannna see the ground
Like walking a tight rope
Just keep moving don’t look down
