“Drifting” by Nathan Ball – A Song Review

     For us, a Nathan Ball single is similar to a warm, ground-level fog that moves slowly until it fully envelops us with a comforting warmth that questions why we waited for the experience, instead of rushing in its direction. We fully appreciate Ball’s work only after a single has been released for a few months.

     In October of last year, Nathan Ball released “Drifting.” In explaining the song, Ball said, “It’s a really personal song about self-reflection, exploring the idea of seeing yourself through someone else’s eyes, knowing something isn’t right but feeling there’s nothing you can do about it.”

Lyrics of “Drifting” by Nathan Ball

I can see it in your eyes

When you lie awake at night

You convince yourself you're fine, it's alright

To keep on drifting

With the drugs keeping you high

They catch you falling from the sky

I keep asking myself why,

You stand by

And keep on drifting

And keep on drifting

Oh, I can feel it coming

See it in your eyes

See it that you're not right

Oh, you feeling something?

Just see it in your eyes,

See it that you're not right

You're not right

We're not right

That you’re not right

So, tell me what you hold inside

Tell the backstreets of your mind

You're still lonely as a child

Teary eyed

And kept on drifting

Oooo, kept on drifting

Oh, I can feel it coming

Just see it your eyes

See it that you're not right

Oh, are you feeling something?

Can see it in your eyes

See it that you're not right

You’re not right

You’re not right

That you’re not right

So, take my hand and hold on

And take my hand, don't let go

Ooooooo

Oh, I can feel it coming

See it in your eyes

See it that you’re not right

Oh, you're feeling something

See it in you’re eyes

See that you're not right

You’re not right

You’re not right

That you’re not right

You’re not right

We're not right

We're not right

That you’re not right
