With his characteristic depth of introspective insight, calming vocal assuredness, and engaging guitar-created soundscapes as backdrops, Nathan Ball shared another praiseworthy single - “All Or Nothing.” The man has a voice with the equivalent of a gravitational pull on the attention of listeners, regardless of the content of the lyrics. The strength of the pull is multiplied by Nathan’s approach to writing. He says, “I like to nod to the things I’ve been through but leave space for people to adapt each narrative to their own lives and experiences.”
Referring to “All Or Nothing,” Nathan explained, “It’s about trying to stay focused on something whilst feeling a weight of expectation on you. And, instead of talking about it, becoming more introverted.” The lyrics of the song are included in this post.
The mixing of the track provides a greater emphasis on percussion than most music from Nathan Ball. The feature that remains consistent with expectations is the guitar that sometimes dances with the melody and other times dances around that melody. The “quick pitch” regarding “All Or Nothing” is one we completely agree with - "The new single from Nathan Ball {is] sonically somewhere between Ben Howard and War On Drugs.”

Lyrics of “All Or Nothing” by Nathan Ball”
You show me how to stay awake
I feel it pulsing through my veins
But help me out, I’m feeling strange
But it’s all inside my head.
But it’s all, yeah it’s all, yeah it’s all, yeah it’s all in my head.
It’s all or nothing, for a while, for a while.
I hear your voices screaming, make me proud, just make me proud.
I just sit in silence, looking down, looking down,
I’ll be alright, I’ll be alright.
So show me how to stay awake
Cause when I close my eyes it’s too late.
And that’s the point I see your face
But it’s all inside my head.
But it’s all, yeah it’s all, yeah it’s all, yeah it’s all in my head.
And I know, and I know, and I know, and I know in my head.
It’s all or nothing, for a while, for a while.
I hear your voices screaming, make me proud, just make me proud.
I just sit in silence, looking down, looking down,
I’ll be alright, I’ll be alright.
Cause we go round and round keeping out of sight
You’re the reason I can’t sleep at night.
But I justify just to keep you in mind when we fought back fears for the 15th time.
Round and round keeping out of sight you’re the reason I can’t sleep at night,
I justify just to keep you in mind but we go round, round, round and round again
Round again
It’s all or nothing, for a while, for a while.
I hear your voices screaming, make me proud, just make me proud.
I just sit in silence, looking down, looking down,
I’ll be alright, I’ll be alright.
Cause it’s all, yeah it’s all, yeah it’s all, yeah it’s all in my head.
Cause it’s all, yeah it’s all, yeah it’s all, yeah it’s all in my head.
Cause it’s all, yeah it’s all, yeah it’s all, yeah it’s all in my head.
