Hi, folks. This website is moving to a new address, but it's going to take a little while for me to transfer everything (and not everything will be transferred).
I think the Nields are the best band I've ever heard. Not only do they make beautiful music, but they also have the most incredible positive energy of any band I know. They love to play music, and they have a lot of respect for their fans: two reasons that it is such a joy to see them in concert! They are also wonderful, adorable human beings who, I believe, have had a big impact on my life and who I am.
But aside from my infatuation with the band, my main reason for creating this page is to make available the lyrics to all the Nields' songs, both recorded and unrecorded. Their unrecorded songs will be referred to on this site as Nields Apocrypha, and their body of recorded work (including their early, out-of-print albums) will be referred to as the Nields Canon. Both terms were coined by Bruce of the Nields Nook. (The Nields Nook is an e-mail discussion list devoted to the band; find out more about it on their official site.)
Check out the extensive list of Nields Apocrypha to find lyrics to their unrecorded songs (listed alphabetically). This list also contains cover songs, though currently the lyrics to those songs aren't available.
Check out the Nields Canon to find lyrics to their recorded songs (listed by album). This list also includes cover songs, but again, the lyrics are not available here.
Or check out the Nields Songs Clearinghouse for a complete list of every song the band has written (listed alphabetically). This list also indicates which album(s), if any, the songs have been released on, including compilations. The few cover songs they have recorded have been included as well.
I want to make it clear that I do not intend to tread upon the Nields' turf in any way. I don't anticipate any legal problems, but should any arise, I will happily cooperate with whatever the band wants me to do.
Thanks for visiting my Nields page.
