At age 18 and hailing from the Northeastern shores of USA, Nate has silently been honing his skills ever since his first encounter with EDM at age 15. Having been brought up in a family with a mother that was very passionate about music in general, and a father that expressed his joy through guitar playing and singing, undoubtedly helped to shape Nate's passion for music. Starting off with up-tempo techno gradually transitioning to trance and progressive. It did not take long for people to see that Nate had a flair for the melodies and the production skills needed to make quality productions.
Recently Nate has seen his originals getting picked up by heavyweight UK trance label Enhanced Recordings, as well as getting attention from the dutch imprint Flashover which is also the home for the dutch trance legend Ferry Corsten.
On the remix front Nate has proven himself capable at working at an amazing pace; finishing remixes for before mentioned, Enhanced Recordings, the also UK based Alter Ego, and with numerous other deals in the works it is safe to say that it will not take long before the world will be making the first encounter with young, yet incredibly gifted American.
Favorite Sound
Audien Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
I linger everything
but I find when I'm alone it gets so hard to breathe
I shouldn't apologize for just existing
I shouldn't apologize for just being me
Trying to hide behind all my distractions
Ok when the quiet comes
When it dies down
It gets so loud
All The voices in my head
trying to fill me up with doubt
I'm learning how
to turn around
All The voices in my head
I think I found my favorite sound
Do you take The time to recognize yourself
do you spin like a carousel
I want you to know that it's ok
to ask for help
we all need help
we all need help
I shouldn't apologize for just existing
I shouldn't apologize for just being me
Trying to hide behind all my distractions
Ok when the quiet comes
When it dies down
It gets so loud
All The voices in my head
trying to fill me up with doubt
I'm learning how
to turn around
All The voices in my head
I think I found my favorite sound
Embrace The silence
trying to find this
feeling that I'm doing ok
I'm my own project
A Work in progress
I know..
I'm better than ok
The lyrics of Audien and Echosmith's song Favorite Sound explore the themes of self-doubt, self-acceptance, and self-improvement. The singer admits to being their own worst enemy and dwelling on negative thoughts, but finds that being alone can make it difficult to cope. The first verse suggests that the singer feels guilty for simply existing and being themselves, and tries to distract themselves from their insecurities. However, the chorus suggests that the singer is learning how to confront their inner demons and embrace their flaws. They acknowledge their fear and doubt, but recognize that they can overcome them and find their own inner strength. The singer encourages listeners to recognize themselves and ask for help if they need it, as everyone is a "work in progress."
One interesting aspect of this song is how it blends the different musical styles of Audien and Echosmith. Audien is known for his electronic dance music, while Echosmith is more of an indie pop/rock band. Favorite Sound has a poppy, electronic beat with guitar riffs and layered vocals that create a dreamy atmosphere. The lyrics are also relatable and empowering, with a message of self-love and acceptance that resonates with many listeners. The song was released in 2019 and has been praised for its positive message and catchy melody.
Another interesting fact about this song is that it was co-written by Echosmith's lead singer Sydney Sierota, who has been open about her struggles with anxiety and depression. The lyrics reflect her personal journey of self-discovery and self-acceptance, as she became more comfortable with who she was as a person and an artist. The song's message of self-love and finding one's own identity has resonated with fans, especially those who also struggle with mental health issues. Favorite Sound has been compared to other songs about overcoming personal challenges, such as Demi Lovato's Skyscraper and Katy Perry's Firework.

And I, I linger on everything
But I find when I'm alone, it gets so hard to breathe

Shouldn't apologize for just existing

On the verge of turning 30... I listened to this song the other day and haven't stopped playing it since. There's so much pressure to be perfect and completely certain with life at this age. Hearing someone younger sing these lyrics, is truly inspiring. Thank you.

In EU some of countries have this Norwegian MOT program, that deals with such topics starting from 7 graders. The program is all about, having: courage saying NO, courage to CARE for others and courage to LIVE your life. I am part of the program as a coach.

This song rings to me like of what I have been through when was in college dealing with an anxiety disorder, “one-step away” from depression, and sometimes being an anti socialized. At the time, that music came out during college years. That puts me into a medicine of enjoyment.
