    "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

oh little spider
come crawl up my neck
and tell me all your secrets
that i should not forget

you say two arms are only good for love
but eight are much better for getting shit done
and though i believe you i still hesitate
and i know i am already too late

was it you who watched the fall?
was it you who ruined it all?
and i know the grab is too thick
and the nets too sticky
and i can't get out of it
but still i try.

oh little spider
see what you've done?
life is so much better when you live like you have one
when you are using all eight it seems so dull
to know that you are superior over all.
