Featuring the Soul Rebels and inspired by the joyful music of New Orleans, “Simple Life” is a testament to the simple pleasures – a song about taking what’s yours and being proud of it. I came up with the groove and idea for the title and some of the lyrics when I was living in the woods by myself during the pandemic, asking myself what I really wanted from life, says Nate Edgar. The basic groove came from blending a New Orleans-type clave beat and putting it in a different time signature.
Lyrics
You know me Im a simple man
All I need is a piece of land
Deep in the woods something out of sight
My shack glows by candlelight
Tilling the soil with a green thumb
I reap what sow when the work is done
One last thing to make the story right
A thick ole shorty keep me warm at night
No matter where
Where you tryina go
Youre gonna find
What you already know
And whichever way
The mighty wind blows you
I hope you find the peace I found
Feet on the ground
Watching the world go round
You know me Im a simple lady
Love my little castle in the big city
My cuisine international
My hustle and bustle ooo!
Its natural
I make a quick dash for the cash when the
Work is done
I do it all day cuz its fun
One last thing to make the story right
Me and my shorty yeah we keep it tight
No matter where
Where you tryina go
Youre gonna find
What you already know
And whichever way
The mighty wind blows you
I hope you find the peace I found
Feet on the ground
Watching the world go round
I walk through many seasons in this life
The simple life is my guiding light
That path that you choose is your own
You can do what you want and not what youre told
No matter where
Where you tryina go
Youre gonna find
What you already know
And whichever way
The mighty wind blows you
I hope you find the peace I found
Feet on the ground
Watching the world go round
Forget the noise
And find the joy
The choice is ours
To simplify
You got wine
I got mine
We can share and have a good time tonight yall
When youre trippin on down the path
Dont forget to laugh
I would like to propose a toast
To the simple life
