Heard It All BeforeNATI.2024-07-11 | "Heard It All Before" drops on 12th July!STAY - LiveNATI.2023-12-07 | This song is about realising that you're expendable to someone. In a new relationship or friendship you tend to keep your guard up, especially if you've been hurt before. This song captures the moment you realise how much this person in your life will change at the drop of a hat. One minute they love you, the next they want nothing to do with you. It's about realising your self-worth and taking your power back.
Recorded at Perth UHI NATI. Guitar & vocals Ben Buist - Bass and Synth Kieran Smith - Drums Visuals - HiViz5 MORE MINUTES - LiveNATI.2023-12-07 | This tune was birthed out of a feeling of empowerment. As I get older, I'm realising that I was walked over an awful lot and that there were people in my life that I gave my love/time/energy who didn't deserve it. This song is about taking those moments and walking away without damaging yourself because in a short while, it'll be a distant memory. 5 More Minutes for me was about self worth and power and taking it back.
Working alongside Newton and Rich was such a pleasure and such a breeze, too! Yes of course they're both sensationally talented and hard working but they're both so easy to get on with and make this whole music thing look like a walk in the park! I'm truly grateful to even be a part of their circle. Having them work on this song with me is something I'll never forget.

I left a 7-year relationship (nothing malicious thankfully, we just didn't click anymore). I started not only a new job but a career path doing something I'd dreamed about since I was a wee lassie. I also moved away and lived alone for the first time in my life. As someone who stayed in the same town I was born and raised in and as someone who has never done anything wild or out of my comfort zone, this was huge. I went from living with a partner at the time, working a 9-5 and not doing much else to travelling everywhere playing music. At times, it's wonderful and other times it's terrifying. One of my best friends told me during this time that I can't be brave if I'm not scared. Luckily I have people just like her around me. My manager, my current partner, my family and my friends. People who love me and support me in all of my endeavours. I took the love and the bravery they gave me and decided to begin again... and here we are. I remember the day I wrote this song with one of my heroes, Newton Faulkner. It was a beautiful day and before we even began writing he just asked me how I was doing. Within an hour the song was done. He has been gracious enough to write with me, teach me and has an incredible ability to make me open up about my thoughts and fears. He knows how to get an honest song out of you and I sincerely admire that.

Guitar & vocals Ben Buist - Bass and Synth Kieran Smith - Drums Visuals - HiVizASHES - LiveNATI.2023-12-07 | Ashes is difficult to describe because it is incredibly important to me and has different layers. On the surface, it's about getting older and feeling like it's turning you invisible and underneath it's about a culture of young people who are chronically online. It's opening up those two stories and putting them side by side, occupied by one single person. Telling the older person they are still seen and valued for all the fire that they still have and telling the younger person to slow down and not to get bogged down by how everyone else is telling them to live their life.
Recorded at Perth UHI NATI. Guitar & vocals Ben Buist - Bass and Synth Kieran Smith - Drums Visuals - HiVizOLDER - LiveNATI.2023-12-07 | This song is quite simply about getting older and all the horribly wonderful things that come with it. I turned 30 last year and for whatever reason that number always seemed so scary to me and to a lot of other folk too. Now I couldn't care less and realise it's just a number. What I've grown to appreciate now is all the beautiful lessons I've learnt along the way instead of bristling at a line on my face. Older is about slowly giving less and less of a shit about what people think and falling more in love with yourself, despite all the new aches and pains that come from life.

I'd seen a lot of my friends trying out therapy for the very first time. In fact I'd seen that many people were seeking therapy during this time period. Whilst I was happy and proud and would get phonecalls telling me how well it went, sometimes it wasn't always positive. It angered me to hear stories of professionals who unfortunately didn't listen, who watched the clock or who were simply in it for the wrong reasons. I had all of this anger and frustration from the stories my friends had told me and didn't know what to do with it so I put it into Hello. It's about not silencing yourself when you're struggling. Whether it's being silent for the sake of your work, your friends or your family, you should never be quiet about it.Nati Dreddd - AutumnNATI.2022-02-10 | Autumn - Paolo Nutini.
I have a very strong love for Paolo Nutini. His soul, his creative genius, his haunting yet gritty vocals and he's also Scottish. The first time I heard this song I was out for a walk with headphones in after a particularly bad day. It made me cry my eyes out but gave me an immense amount of clarity. The song is beautiful and I can only hope that I did it justice.

Nati Dreddd Entertainment LimitedNati Dreddd - ApocalypseNATI.2022-02-01 | This song is about being stuck in a 9-5 rut and feeling it slowly strip away all the colours of your personality day by day. This song is raw, it's anger, it's frustration and I know you've felt it too. I wrote on my own on my bed after not picking up a guitar for the best part of 2 years. I hope you take something from it, even if it's simply the fact that you're not alone.

Lyrics Breathe in, it's 6am and I'm barely awake Wipe off my dreams from the night before and prepare for the day When did I settle for something so plain? All of this low-fat, no-mercy, this 9 to 5 When can I jump off this merry-go-round? Day in and day out.
Welcome it, I'm home again and I'm half way to sleeping Mindless words to fill the void to stop myself weeping What's the point in shedding tears when nobody's listening? Fight for yourself, free your mind, never stop looking For all the evidence that you're alive. You're alive.
Don't tell me to smile when it's wrong Cause the cracks in your porcelain are revealing Don't tell me to fight for my rights When you ostracise me for not conforming to your ideologies Don't tell me to always be true When you kick and stomp and slit the throats to get through Don't tell me because I don't care about the colour that you package it I know sometimes life is not fair
The smoke it lingers on my fingertips It's calling me, pleading me back to the sound Of the hardened strings and the ripped out lungs That I leave behind in memory And from the glow, I see the sun and I'm smiling again Don't waste your time feeling guilty for things that don't matter 'Cause you deserve better Move on. Move on.
