In The Orchard 2011
Nick 13 Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
The smell of cool, damp earth beneath my feet
On a summer night, In the Orchard
My car is parked down, side of the road
Over the mountain, a red moon glows
Soon the summer will be over, In the Orchard
Down roads and rows of dreams in my mind
I'm walking through the trees, In the Orchard
Still I see it, when I close my eyes
When sleep's about to come after a restless night
I go there in my dreams, Back to the Orchard
The seasons of my life, I watched them pass
The blossoms of spring fall, leaving only winter's naked branch
I remember you and me, In the Orchard
As the days of youth, slip farther from my grasp
Still it haunts me, like a song i cant forget
And now frost covers the ground, In the Orchard
And when the spark of life is almost gone
The seasons slow then stop, and I'll see spring no more
It calls me into forever, In the Orchard
The seasons of my life, I watch them pass
The blossoms
of spring fall, leaving only winter's naked branch;
into forever...

The singer describes walking under the evening stars in an orchard on a summer night, surrounded by the smell of damp earth beneath his feet. He reflects on the passage of seasons and the way the orchard has changed over time, from the blossoms of spring to the frosty ground of winter. The orchard becomes a powerful symbol for the singer's memories and his connection to the past, a place he visits not only in the physical world but also in his dreams. As the singer contemplates the inevitability of his own mortality, he looks to the orchard as a place of infinite renewal, "calling him into forever."

This was one of my momma's favorite songs. I haven't listened to it since her passing a few years ago. I decided, admittingly irrationally, to listen to it again for her. I hope you all who come by this have a great day and if you need someone, reach out, I will be here. 💚

God bless

Both versions are amazing. Sorry for your loss. Moms are the best and she'll always be in your memories

Both versions of this song are outstanding, Why Nick 13 doesn't have more views is puzzling.

His music is not promoting degeneracy, therefor not promoted at all.
@robhammer6547
He isn’t main stream enough, these fools brains would explode if they heard him

Better musician playing better music disconnected from mainstream listening audiences and contracts.
Anarchist values or recording contract maybe?
Oh, APA mass marketing manipulation of pop culture songs and singles, videos, medias and arts as a basis for everyday life and control over airwaves to subdue conscious resolve and break away from corporate affairs keeping people locked in place to dogmatic mental displacement and detachment in an effort to better control the mass population, specifying certain areas for certain locales for certain things through hub network Freemason/Jesuit slaving of building into the industrialized national scandal which kept money gas guzzling racketeering hunks of metal and plastic spinning on solidified petroleum instead of aerodynamic flight mechanisms which run with little to no energy necessities, negating most if not all need to “pay” for energy, or really anything else, because the vast majority of this world and earths “economy” is operating a massive resource draining/human/organ harvesting/trafficking network using biological organic matters as a means of sustaining otherworldly figures; disproving any god or a “chosen people”, because it isn’t the Holy Spirit and the Virgin Mary pulling the strings of US military interventions in the Middle East or FCC, definitely isn’t the technology of the vast greatness of Gods love which built the iron dome or b2 spirit bombers either.
Or maybe climate change in the current year, I wouldn’t know.🤷♂️
