indie acoustic folk pennsylvania alt country harrisburg
Artist picture
An acoustic folk/alt-country band that takes art, emotions, and freedom seriously. Perfect for those who seek meaning in a world and media that appears ever in
Acoustic folk made babies with rock and roll, and they called themselves Raise up Roof Beams. Nathan's weighty tales of love and loss are affectionately arranged by the Roof Beams and sung over mellow-yet-driven beats of hope and progress until it finally occurs to you that it is not all about being sad. The biggest thing out of Pennsylvania since Yuengling and President Buchanan.

Lyrics
It is getting harder now to remember all the places I have been and all the people I have hurt (they won't speak to me again). I have been counting them out on fingers and toes since your mentor died and decomposed. You did not expect him to pass that way, and his stench almost destroyed your faith. Now I am holed up in a basement in the south, writing notes to the whole world from the underground. Why would I be born just to die young? Could it be that some little demon has me all high-strung? I am not going to string myself up, and I am not giving up belief because existence should not be a reason to grieve. But what if it is? Then grieve with me and move on. You have to believe I would love to tell you what is going to become of me. You have to believe I would love to tell you what is going to become of me. But there is just no way to know. There is just no way to know. So don't lost hope. Don't lose hope because existence should not be a reason to grieve. But what if it is? Then grieve with me, and we are all going to move on.
