You get Nathan Angelo.
And, more recently, you get his latest release, Follow Your Heart.
An Atlanta transplant and minister’s son, Nathan discovered music at an early age where he spent much of his youth as his church’s Director of Music, developing his vocals and finding a home on the keys. With no plans of pursuing music professionally, Nathan stumbled into songwriting more as catharsis than ambition. What started as a hobby after college quickly turned into a passion, one which he soon felt necessary to share with an audience. His first two projects Through Playing Me (2006) and These ‘Ol Keys (2009) reveal a soulful disposition and a natural affinity for provocative songwriting.
Coupled with an incessant touring schedule and attention paid to the ever-changing landscape of social media, Nathan has managed to sell over 15,000 albums independently. He’s also toured with national acts such as the Fray, Zac Brown Band, Marc Broussard and Matt Wertz. In 2009, Nathan caught the attention of a major publishing company, Warner/Chappell. Compelled by his ability to mix modern-pop with classic songwriting, Warner/Chappell signed Nathan to a publishing deal, a rare occasion for an independent artist, and has since been called upon to write for the likes of Kelly Clarkson & Justin Bieber.
A commercial spin on soul-infused pop, Nathan’s latest project Follow Your Heart (2011) emerges as his strongest work to date. Laced with both whimsy and candor, songs like “Love Is On the Line,” “Make Up Your Mind,” “Forgetting You” and “Hurt Me” treat the intricacies and frustrations of youth and relationships with due weight yet have a playfulness that lightens the situation. In reference to Follow Your Heart, Nathan calls it “a very personal project yet one that I believe to be universal in its ability to relate to what we all go through.”
As much an album title as it is an anthem, Follow Your Heart displays Nathan’s ear for melody and keen understanding of story and reveals that he has much in store for fans both new and old.
Losing Touch
Nathan Angelo Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
in time it came true / I’m wakin’ up from it now
we glow when we are close
but out in the shadows
I can’t make out what you said
words turn to dust
we’re losing touch
we’re losing touch
a foggy window / I’m seein’ you through
the tide it takes us / far away I can’t reach you
we glow when we are close
but we’re stuck in the shadows
I remember how your hair fell down
soft upon my cheek
what I wouldn’t give to find a bridge to go between
you and me
your hand in my hand / we’re daydreaming now
The lyrics to Nathan Angelo's song "Losing Touch" describe a relationship that is starting to fade away. The singer reflects on a time when they were connected, with the image of their hand in hand representing the intimacy and closeness they once shared. However, as time passes, their connection begins to diminish. The line "we glow when we are close, but out in the shadows" suggests that their relationship feels strong when they are together, but as soon as they step out into the world, their bond becomes elusive and elusive.
The second verse further emphasizes the sense of distance and separation. The imagery of a foggy window symbolizes the singer's blurred vision of their partner. The idea of being taken away by the tide and unable to reach the other person implies that they are drifting apart, unable to bridge the gap between them. The singer reminiscing about how their partner's hair fell on their cheek highlights the longing and nostalgia they feel for the past. They express a wish to find a bridge that can connect them once again.
Overall, "Losing Touch" captures the bittersweet experience of a relationship slowly losing its spark and the yearning to reignite the connection that once existed.
