Nik Freitas

Nik Freitas is a singer-songwriter from Visalia,California and currently residing in Los Angeles. Freitas began his career as a staff photographer for Thrasher Magazine where he traveled the world taking skate photos until turning his attention to music full-time in 2001. Since then, Freitas has released four records, almost all of which were produced entirely by him (he plays every instrument). Stylistically similar to musicians like The Beatles, Paul Simon and Elliott Smith, his fourth album, Sun Down was released in 2008 by Conor Oberst's Team Love Records, leading to increased publicity. He has also participated with Oberst's back-up band, the Mystic Valley Band, performing two of his own songs on their debut album Outer South. He has been part of the performing band for the Broken Bells on their tour and also tours as a solo act to support his fifth album, Center of the World.

    All The Way Down

    by: Nik Freitas

    All the way down, All the way Down
    Let’s go all the way down
    Seems like too much just ain’t enough
    When your pool is on the line
    Sharing stuff is a thing of the past
    When you’ve read chapter nine
    And nobody has to know
    As long as you forgot
    You sold out just in time
    Someone’s future just vanished before their eyes
    All the way down, All the way down
    Yeah, they went all the way down
    Took a sad, sad situation
    And put a ribbon on your car
    Shook an apple from the family tree
    And blew the whole nation apart
    And if the bombs along the road ain’t proof enough
    That it’s all been a mistake
    Well, someone still wants his face on the money we make
    All the way down
    All the way down
    Let’s go all the way down
    Find yourself something to do
    Before we have to grow up
    And see what the world’s coming to
    I’m just trying to fit in anywhere that i can
    So please, leave a space in the bag for me
    Put a penny on the ocean floor, and a trillion in outer space
    Swipe the card at where the atmosphere was
    And pay back the whole human race
    And if the weather’s got you heated up
    And you’re waiting on a new ice age
    Well, someone’s working on a way to get thinner
    By eating all summer and sleeping all winter
