March of 2020 was the last time The Repressions performed in front of a live (non virtual) audience. While they long for these shows again, they are grateful that that small evening was blessed with a long set and a lovely audience.
Moonlight Magic is a wonderful example of Forest Music, and a misty dream that we will make our forests anywhere, through music and art and love and hope.
When we are in deep despair, walking through the world around us can be a dissociative experience, looking at others who seem “normal” as though they exist in some other realm, where doing everyday activities and enjoying life is no challenge. Depression, and states of feeling outside of the conventional society, can make us feel as though we are only floating through the traditional world, unseen.
This new video on Youtube today features Barbara Dragon performing The Repressions original song “Ghost Walk” and hoping very much that it makes someone out there feel understood, and not alone.
Many thanks to all who joined the livestream show on September 26. Here is a live take, with lyrics, of Quiet Solitude (subtle xylophone included.) Thank you for watching!
Saturday June 27th is the official release date for The Repressions’ single “Whatever Happened To The Bookstore” – on Spotify, Itunes/Apple Music, Google Play, Deezer, Amazon Music, iHeartRadio, Pandora, Tidal and much more! And of course the track will be on Bandcamp and Soundcloud too.
To celebrate, The Repressions are performing a livestream concert at 7pm that night on Facebook live.
Here is a link to the facebook live event~ it is public and generally kid friendly by nature. You can enjoy from the comfort of home. Hope to see you there!
These days are difficult, and there is so much to surmount. This song is for anyone feeling a little overwhelmed right now.
Many weeks in quarantine and life disrupted and derailed have affected us all so deeply~ a new emotional wave persists: What is coming? What will the new after be? Do we wait for it, search for it, or create it? This song is called To The After.
This is a lovely way to connect with artists around the country, please enjoy this new offering of artists and a live acoustic performance of The Repressions song “Medicate Me.” Live premiere on Youtube Saturday January 4 at 1pm Eastern Standard Time.

Last year Nate and Barbara celebrated New Year’s Eve with merriment and music, and a video for their song Bright Lights. They decided to make this a tradition, and this year the lyrics are on screen. Bright Lights is a journey of love and change, reconciling our natural selves in the modern world, and leaping into your life even when you cannot see.
Happy New Year Friends. Thank you for being here.
Such fun playing holiday songs for a lovely crowd… The Repressions jazzed up this classic, and send you warm wishes….
Human. Nature.
Do our instincts work against our growth? Why do we act out in wildness while we further ourselves from the natural world?
Tonight on Youtube we have a lyric video for the song “What’s To Be Expected of the Wild,” performed unplugged at Repressions’ Castle.
