When I was a senior in high school, I wrote and arranged this record in my head. Probably why my grades were always subpar lol It’s a story, intended to be listened to from front to back. A battle between light and darkness in the life of those I love and my own. I tried recording it easily four times but was never able to capture the original vision I had. So I waited until I felt I had the means to do so. And now, six years later, here it is. I pray it blesses you and if you’re caught up in “The Darkness”, trying to cope with a means that’s destructive, it pull you out. Bring you into a new world of love, freedom, peace and joy. I know this genre is very “Different”, but I hope it’s not too crazy. Promise there will be much more normal music. I love you all. -Nathan Wagner
@@nathanwagner762 You are always so deep, real and humble with your lyrics and with your way of be yourself, that is really appreciated! I'm your fan, I admire you.
The Darkness, summarized: Prelude: Flashback - Let me take you back in time to my high school experience.... Pt I: Victoria - My friend Victoria is addicted to drugs and I don't understand how it happened. Pt II: Silence - Now she's shutting me out and there's nothing I can do. Pt III - Blackout - I'm out in the real world and learning that it's too hard to handle without a drink...or ten. Pt IV: Deception - I fell for the wrong woman, who introduced me to the city's seedy underword...until I had the courage to escape. Pt V: Light - I'm leaving the darkness behind, and I'm taking the people I care about with me.
You saved me. I’ve though of suicide too many times. You’ve made me realize I am loved. That people care for me. That I’m not a lost cause. Nathan, this is truly art. It’s a masterpiece! I’ve wanted to be loved, not exactly in a romantic way. Any way. An amazing friendship. A strong bond with my family. I too hope to fly very very high. I’ll stay strong and focus on the light at the end of the tunnel. Thank you
Hunny even when it gets tough to keep moving forward in life just remember that even in the shadows light will still be there you just have to search for it this is coming from some one who has been diagnosed with clinical suicidal depression
Always look forward to the light. Never give up and keep searching for that bond. It is out there. Sometimes being patient leads to beautiful outcomes. I hope you find what you are looking for. You're not a lost cause but a wonderful person just waiting to flourish. Thank you for sharing!
This. Is. Gold. 24 mins of pure GOLD! There is so much meaning behind every word, each part unfolding a different step of life. Nathan just hit us with a heavy blast of wonderful, mixed emotions woaaaaaahhh!
Dude if this is like a video of a album coming out from you I will so be there for that man cause your voice has so much passion behind these songs and I can't wait for ever song the you post to come out bless you man
I love how you make songs, good meanings in real life, I think you're the only singer and composer I know, who knows how to make lesson songs, thank you for being with us.
OMG OMG IVE NEVER CLICKED SO FAST LOL , you amaze me every time Nathan this is just so amazing thank you lovely for making my day with this xxxxxxxxxxx
Love the lyrics of every part, gota say part 3 my favorite. Not going to lie didn't see why it was in a story till part 5 brought it together so well. Can't wait for another story song.
I don’t know what you’ve gone through, I will always know your enough . I could listen to all your words I deep down know your enough . Things seem like they are changing and I suppose it’s ok to change with them . It sounds as though you’ve been through emotional hell to be where you are right now I somehow wish I could give you a hug . I may not recognise you but you are so much better than you will ever know, I wish nothing but the best in your career and your life and one day this will make sense . You have been there throughout my dark/light times and one day I hope you realise how special you are to me .
I must have missed this back when it first came out, because I definitely would have remembered listening to it! I saw the release of part 1 and went looking for the full video and I'm not disappointed! I absolutely love the rock/jazz feel of the whole thing and the heavier sound with your incredible voice is exactly what I needed today for music. The instrumentals are incredible and I just love the lyrics and story that they tell! I'd love to hear more in this genre in the future! Much love!!
Darkness in awh nooo..than bad dreams happened. Guitar sounds electric. Good lyrics in white. to go with song in darkness! But I will certainly stay away darkness.
If you have been Born Again. This album hits even harder than it would if you weren't. I hope to see more amazing music from you cause your word play is amazing.
This channel is not good, this channel is not diamond You're Midas and you touched music and now it's hold I really love every single one of your songs It's incredible Much thanks to you for doing these :) PS : This one is good for bicycle runs of hours I use to do some and wow, time goes so fast with this in your ears
Man I don't know you and yet I love your songs, they talk frequently about bad feelings so it may let people think that you have past some rough times, but for me the most alarming thing was....THAT YOU ANSWERED ALL THESE FREKKING (don't search for a meaning) COMMENTS! YOU ARE CRAZY DUDE ahahah. Anyway this really is the thing which makes me think more that you had some rough times, it isn't normal to be so kind with all these people you don't know.
Freaking phenomenal! It has this on going saga like a classic Meatloaf sing it would make an incredible Anime! Outstanding work leaves true music enthusiasts mesmerized bravo bro🎵🎶
😭💔Thank you I just got niiiiiiice goosebumps all over my body. Your music is totally amazing. Your voice is just so unique♥ If i need to pick up my favorite it's light at 18:00 😤 Wish you all the best♥😇
Enjoyed this [24:19] video, showed more feeling yet I believe, in my opinion, see a new way of music coming along your way. Just keep expressing yourself even more and you'll understand what I mean my dude. 👍👍👍😁 [Reminder]: "Show no fear" & "Dream big, Go big"
Dude your absolutely amazing your voice is unique and your music is just amazing. Your song lonely got me through so much crap and seeing you wrote it in bad times man I hope your doing so much better now. Keep up the amazing work bud
I'm so glad it could help you 😢 You're not alone. We're all in this together. So glad you like it. It's a daily battle. But right now, I'm good :) Thank you so much for taking the time to listen. Appreciate you
@Nathan Wagner You help me aswell, "Innocence" made me believe world was worth living, and I found a few reasons after you made my hope come back Thank you really much, your music, your work and your messages are wonderful Much love :)
Okay, this is awesome! I just want to say thank you, Nathan. Your music has helped me more than you know. You are deeply appreciated, and I can't wait to hear what comes next! 😊❤
Oh wow, that caught me off guard.. I LOVE IT!! Also please know there is no such thing as normal music, keep doing what you feel like doing without frames. Thank you for all the hard work. I really love your voice...:(
Mr. Wagner, can you please go on America Got Talent? there are 5 rounds on AGT and there are 5 songs on this album. There is no question that you would win, amazing talent, amazing song writer.
I'm sorry. I've yet to see thewhole thing. I'm like a minute in and couldn't wait to scream about HoW FrEaKiNg GrEaT tHiS iS MatE Update: I've finished it, and it was even better!!
Dude. You're a musical genius. I'm not bragging, but I consider myself a music connoisseur and expert. I, like you, compose complex songs in my head but don't really have the means to record them. I'm 17 and just in shock by this song. I just heard Lonely (which is just so good) and figured I had to check out your channel. You really know how to put emotion into songs. And your voice is so good; your range is insane, and your rasp is to die for. If you ever need piano or keyboard parts for songs, just let me know. I record stuff and it would be so damn cool to work with you. Even if you don't want to, just know that I love your music so much, and I was here before you blew up haha.
Wow... Just wow. Deception left me speechles and Light almost made me cry. I cant say how much I love your work. You are not just making music, you take all the good and bad in life, the passion and the pain and you transform it into beautiful masterpieces! Thank you so much. I feel kinda strange with all these feelings now, but... Thank you.
Nathan I thank you for this music so much, I never understood what people were saying when they said music helps them get through stuff cause music never helped me, but your music is different and beautiful and is helping me. Thank you so much
I get it.. this is all about the prisoners in the dark side of the world. But God already knew it. He will rescue those who are in victims of the dark. The light is already in this world. The Only one thing you need is to let the light In into your heart and life. And open your eyes to receive the love and spirit of our God.. God bless us all around the world. God always loves us..
This, my friends, is what you call a masterpiece. Each movement of this suite has its own power and story, and each of them stand alone as fantastic pieces of music. However, combining them together is an experience nothing short of magical. Each song with its different moods and feels meld from one into another in a story about losing and then finding yourself, or at least I interpreted it as such. I would classify this as a symphony, albeit a shorter one, but this is exceptional beyond belief, bestowing upon listeners strong emotions and vivid images one rarely gets from the symphonic/alternative rock genre. This symphony is the closest to perfection I believe we are capable of reaching amongst this genre of music, and I loom forward to each amd every future listening of this. Thank you for the magical story Nathan Wagner, and I hope you enjoyed making and telling this story as we did listening to it.
