Story Behind The Song
Explaining the story behind the song can deflate the impact of poetic expression. Not being lazy, I just want listeners to immerse themselves without any bias. Part of the beauty of music is its ability to allow you to make it your own. It truly is what you want and need it to be personally. So...while I want to leave interpretations to the listener, Broadjam's categories of "relationship" and "change" are appropriate :)
Song Description
"'Who Walks With Me' is an intimate new release from singer/songwriter Nathan Totten. Intricately picked acoustic guitar forms the core of this mid tempo rock ballad, reinforced by cello and piano to provide ample support for Totten's warm and cozy baritone as he imparts his poignant message of recovery and redemption. Backing vocals harmonize brilliantly with the lead on the choruses, adding an additional layer of depth and sonic texture to this already compelling track. Fans of singer/songwriters and alternative rockers will definitely find a lot to like about Nathan Totten's "Who Walks With Me" thanks to its heartfelt and inspirational lyrics, as well as its polished performance and high quality production." -- Radio Airplay

Lyrics
I knew I got here somehow
I wanted it to mean
Something different
Something clean
The truth is better somehow
And still, I tend to dream
But something's different
I feel clean
The road is worn
And ancient ties are torn
But I'm not torn anymore
Hearts are worn
And some are freshly torn
But mine's not torn anymore
And now I'm not afraid
Of losing anything
I am just amazed to be someone
And now I'm not afraid
Of missing anything
I am just amazed that there's someone
Who walks with me
I knew you got here somehow
I wanted it to mean
Something different
Something clean
The truth is better somehow
And still I tend to dream
But this is different
This is clean
The ancient ties are worn
And that old road is torn
But I'm not on that road anymore
Hearts are torn
And mine was lightly worn
But I don't wear it that way anymore
And now I'm not afraid
Of losing anything
I am just amazed to be someone
And now I'm not afraid
Of missing anything
I am just amazed that there's someone
Who walks with me
