Hard Living
Nazareth Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
Hard living, every night on the wine
Never givin', any one any time
Always losin', all I had all the time
Yes I'm a selfish kinda man
All I need is a helping hand
Bad loser, never had anyone
Bad chooser, never owed never won
Fast mover, everyday on the run
Never knowing, if I feel or I'm done
Hard living, every day of my life
Hard drinking, every night on the wine
The song "Hard Living" by Nazareth seems to be a confession from the singer's perspective that he has had a hard life up until this point. He highlights how he has continuously made poor choices which have resulted in him losing everything he had. He also mentions that he has never been able to keep anyone or have any long-lasting relationships, which may suggest that he has a tendency to push people away. The lyrics acknowledge that he has been very selfish in his actions and behavior and that he is aware that he needs help.
One of the interesting aspects of this song is the raw emotion that the singer has managed to convey. The lyrics are very honest and it's easy to tell that he is speaking from experience. The song is also very relatable as many people can relate to making mistakes, being selfish at times or feeling lost. The song also has a blues-rock vibe to it, which helps to convey the somber mood of the lyrics.

I deeply admire the bassplayer still doing his heavy thing today – in 2023. I saw Nazareth feat. Pete Agnew a few minutes ago here in Hamburg. And they were great!
