Nahko releases hilarious new video for ‘Be Here Now’
The lyric video for Be Here Now sees Nahko channelling Napoleon Dynamite-esque flair in a retro VHS-recorded home video, featuring killer interpretive dance moves whilst rocking a mullet and aviator frames. Speaking about it Nahko said,
Aloha Tribe! I'm proud to announce the release of our lyric video for ‘Be Here Now’. I hope you get a lot of laughs out of it! I spent five days choreographing and rehearsing it and I think it came out smashingly. Laughter is the best medicine and I wanted to make a lyric video that would bring that out in our global Tribe. So, why not make something that I'm SO not good at! I am definitely not a dancer, but I can certainly be silly. It was pretty hard to choreograph, I'll be honest. I didn't know the first thing about it. But, the third day in I began to block things and it came together by the end! ‘Be Here Now’ was the perfect video to create a lyric video in different languages and let the laughter do the rest. Enjoy!
