Myself at Last
Light is slowly fading And the night comes on so fast I'm drowning in my dreams It's so hard to fight the past When all is said and done It's so hard... See the rest of the song lyrics

    With producer Shane Fontayne adding dimension and tension to the music, Nash’s first album of originals in 14 years is marked by hope and possibility shadowed by loss.

    This is a no-frills type of record that prizes style over substance.

    Actually, resigned existentialism suits Nash well on his lean, reflective new set.

    A gentle fleshing-out of tracks might’ve boosted it, but this is as close as the ever-youthful 74-year-old has yet come to doing an American Recordings. Autumnal, rather than valedictory.

    At times, the production carries an adult contemporary air reminiscent of Daylight Again, elsewhere it's as spare as he's ever been, and the two aesthetics blend into a record that's comforting yet not complacent. Nash is no longer looking at the past; he's looking at the future and he's embracing all the changes to come.

    It's a mix of acoustic and occasionally stodgy soft rock with a message of peace and positivity to all men and women. [May 2016, p.88]

    When it hits it really hits, as on the loved-up Target and the delicately hewn Myself At Last. But when it misses it really misses.
