Heading 3
Music By Nathan Harvey
Near You - was a huge challenge for me. I produced it myself and after the first recording I chucked it out and started again.
Great friends that helped- Recorded and mixed at Big M Studios , Crows Nest, by Dave Anderson, Guitar, Bass and Drums by Ash Rothschild (Caligula, Demonatrix, Panic Syndrome) an old mate from V days. I played a bit of guitar on the track too.
Brian Mitra from Fremantle studios WA found me on unearthed and did my final mix, vocal FX and mastering. Worked with Methyl Ethyl and Kev from Tame Impala.

"I Like It Easy"
I' m back with I LIKE IT EASY!
I just woke up one morning with this song in my head” It literally took me only 2 hours to write and the response from friends and family, especially my Mum, encouraged me to fast track it straight away into the studio. Basically this is just a song about me!

"Brand New Day"
Debut Single by Nathan Harvey
This song is about the crazy state of society today and in particular the way depression and suicide is so common these days. I had a horror year in 2015 in which I went to 7 funerals including my one and only Grandparent I'd ever known who lived to be a hundred. 4 of these people we're friends of mine that sadly took their own life! It's an upbeat sounding song but with very serious lyrics which was intentional. Hope you like it !

I Like It Easy
I take the farthest park in shopping malls
And I’ll back down from a fight
I don’t like sms I call
And I stay up late at night
I like it easy
An easier life for me
Why the hell should I work 5 days
When it’s easier working 3
I live in a modest granny flat
The landlords as nice can be
I always pay my rent on time
And I mow their lawns for free
I take the train into the city
Don’t drive a flashy car
When a woman tries to get close to me
I love her from afar
I like it easy
An easier life for me
I focus on my happiness
Not on the money tree
Easy
An easier life for me
I don’t get hyped by the latest hype
I do what I do for me
I’ve got a bunch of friends I call my best
My families super close
They’re the ones that pass the toughest tests
The ones I value most
I like it easy
An easier life for me
When your life boils down to just one thing
It’s your friends and family
Easy
An easier life for me
I know just where I’m going now
And I go forth happily
I like it easy, easy
I like it easy
An easier life for me
Brand New Day
Every time I hear them say
Every day's a brand new day I smile
Every time it goes away
I'm searching for that brand new day a while.
Why
Cant seem to find my smile
Every time I go outside
I turn around and go inside again
Looking out at all those faces
Trying hard to figure foe from friend
How
Myself can I defend
Need a place
Need a place that's full of friends
When we live and love and care about our neighbours.
We can learn to live again.
When you pass the mountain snowing
When you see the river flowing round
High above the smoky delta
Looking for a place to hunker down
Where
No shelter to be found
Need a place
Need a place that's full of friends
When the minds of techno science
meet the angels
We can dream about an end.
Dream about an end to wars
End of all the crazy laws an end
End of cringing in the night
End of people dead with fright my friend
Time
Time to take my hand
Need a place
Need a place that's full of friends
Learn to live the truth and not the fable
And be happy once again
Happy once again
Happy once again
Woo
MUSIC
NEAR YOU
We used to sit up until all hours
We used to wake up for midday showers
Us two
Me and you
We used to watch the sun set and rise
Now different lives you can't meet my eyes
So what's new ?
I ask you ?
Why can't you say ?
How are things with you today ?
I can't hear you
Hear you
Why walk away ?
Got nothing bad to say
When I'm near you
Near you
Don't it seem so strange ?
That we each look another way
Like we're trapped in a little cage
And we can't even rearrange
How we feel now
Feel now
We hung around the old grocery store
Each telling tales taller than before
Were they true ?
Not a clue
Now that we're older I'd like to see
How things are going, are you still happy ?
Feeling blue
About you
Why can't you see ?
That there's nothing wrong with me
I can't read you
Read you
Why don't you try ?
We can laugh until we cry
Like we used to
Used to
We used to be best friends
Used to say it was till the end
Now we can't seem to say a word
I'm confused and my thoughts are blurred
When I'm near you
Near you
I can't hear you
I can't feel you
I guess I'll see you ?
But I guess I won't.
