Nahko - Hamakua [Official Music Video]

Official Music Video for "Hamakua" by Nahko And Medicine For The People Medicine Tribe! This song, in particular, doesn’t fit into the 18-21-year-old bracket. I cheated a little here because I just couldn’t put this song on the record. It is such a crucial tune that defines this time, even though it was a little later in the timeline. I was probably nearly 22 when I wrote this song. I had already come back to Hawaii after meeting my mom, traveling northern California, went to Burning Man, and now was living on the ‘farm’ with ‘ol 7 Feathers ( Jason Fox ). You see, I’m an Aquarius. Jason, a Taurus. Both of us fiercely independent, it’s safe to say we butted heads from time to time. Years later, I realized how impatient I was with him. I wanted to evolve more rapidly, be air, try things out, let it flow. Jason liked his ways, fiercely earth, and was much slower to change. Needless to say, in my youth, I was a firecracker. Perhaps some would say I still am. Instead of focusing on pining after someone I wanted to keep and be just for me, my medicine became the fact that people always leave and go. With that in mind, at that time, I could try to live without the suffering of the departure of the physical, be present in each moment, and live in gratitude for time well spent. Each notch I climbed in my great wall to consciousness led me higher to reasoning and I let my first archetype die, little by little. After all, before Hamakua who the hell was I?
