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.
A fun mixture of Psychedelic Folk Rock with Nirvana like dynamics.
lyrics
The Stone
by Nathan and Rebecca Bliss
Lost in motion
Endless ocean
Under burning sky
Here we are and close together
I will not let go
I heard her say to the stone
She was moaning his name
In a way that made me long for home
And the lightening came down and
Exploded in fire all around her
At the bottom of a blackhole
Under God's blue eye
Here we are and close together
I will not let go
I heard her say to the stone
She was moaning his name
In a way that made me long for home
And the lightening came down and
Exploded in fire all around her
I will not leave you
I won't let go
