    "Alu'a" is the Tongan word for goodbye when you are staying and the other person is going. "Rest" is an album dedicated to this sentiment. I wrote the songs over a duration of three years (2005-2008) and recorded it in the last year by myself in my room in San Francisco. Sometimes you can hear someone doing dishes or the beep of a dying smoke-detector. This album is an example of the slow, whispering tempo, slanted harmonies and embellished metaphors that I grew up listening to.

    These recordings would have never been possible be it not for the help and generosity of my friends who lived in that house on Thomas Ave. (Jay, Sandra, Sylvia, Erika, Skip, Mander).

lyrics

your faith in it was failing
dirty thoughts that were impaling our heads,
the things you said and didn't mean.
i could almost guarantee that you'd forget all about me
as soon as i'd decide to leave.

bottom bunk is where we hid
with all those noisy things we did
hoping your mom would never hear a thing
it's not that we were lonely
or that we loved each other only
it's just the only way we knew how to be.

and i knew i had to say goodbye
to your bunkbed and i wont lie
i'll miss it more than i'll miss you sometimes
'cause that thing was super sturdy
stayin up until 3:30
making noises we never knew we could
