Einstein once said: “If you want to understand everything better, you have to look deep into nature.”
It is no wonder that Neil Nachtrein sings about longing for nature in his new song VOER MY VIR DIE BERGE (FEED ME TO THE MOUNTAINS).
One evening in a hotel room in the city Neil Nachtrein sits and looks out of the window. He realizes that weeks have passed since he saw the stars. He says to himself: “In the city it never gets dark, it never gets quiet,” and the loneliness overwhelms him.
A feeling of longing for nature and the mountains manifests and a duel ignites from within him.
True to Niel Nachtrein’s style, VOER MY VIR DIE BERGE is a song that is cast in raw emotions. The Afrikaans folk-rock song will leave you with emotions of peace and relief.
The upbeat rhythm guides your mind to think deeply about things that are truly important to you. It reminds the listener of man’s transitory nature, and the tempo emphasizes the urgency of this message: “When my flesh finally returns to dust, feed me to the mountains.“
VOER MY VIR DIE BERGE was written by Neil Nachtrein and produced by Tertius Human. The moving guitar strumming captivates you from the first note and convinces you to listen to the song on repeat.
Neil is no stranger in the music industry. He released his first album, GISTERS&BLISTERS, in 2012. In 2019, he released his second album, OP PLEKKE WAAR ONS EENS WAS, as well as a music video for his song STILSTE UUR.
His music is largely influenced by Jeff Buckley, Eddie Vedder, Paulo Nutini, Damien Rice, Van Morrison, Ben Howard and Ryan Adams.
Neil recently joined the music label VONK. Currently he is hard at work getting his EP ready for release later this year.
VOER MY VIR DIE BERGE is at least two steps forward for Neil’s career. The Afrikaans lyrics are well meticulously planned and the universal nature of the music will ensure that the song resonates with a wide audience. It is writing and composition at its finest.
