Life is a joke most people don't get

About Me

Basically, for now it's just me, Nate Maingard: a solo, acoustic, indie, folk-rock singer/songwriter. There's too much to tell and too little to know... Lyrically challenging myself on a constant basis, I try to say complex things simply without getting too caught up in grammatical overcompensation. These are real, earth-felt, truthful and passionate experiences. I am countless molecules coming together to create whatever it is that looks out from behind these eyes. Those who know me, know me. Those who don't will if they listen to my music.That's about the long and short of it...I want to take this wherever it takes me; I set no bounds on my potential or on the potential of the universe to provide for me. My soul is in my music and my lyrics are for listening to. So...listen

How I love you my friends

I lined up all the things I’m taking and I made a pile of all the things I have to leave behind. And then I said goodbye, with a tear and a sigh and a grin for the freedom I hope to find in the ...
