The Staves
""Nazareth"" Digital MP3 Single
$1.29
""We recorded 'Nazareth' in one take on a field recorder sat outside the studio in the summer of 2018,"" say the Staves of the track. ""The sun was shining and the birds were singing. We tried recording it in the studio but just kept coming back to this version. It seemed to have the magic. The song was intended to be in the spirit of an Irish blessing or a kind of a prayer, asking to be kept safe—but it pretty quickly became a more personal and introspective lyric. Moments of glory quickly faded. Worrying, trying. How we mean everything and nothing at the same time. To everyone, to no one.""
