    "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 darlin wont you come save me from the monsters?
they're get scarier by the minute.
it's true, i could probably sleep alright without you by my side
but i don't wanna risk it.
no, i don't wanna risk it.

to be quiet honest with you, i've had this feeling all along
and it's been eating at my bones.
and i know you probably think it's strange that i
waited all this time to tell you so.
and i'm sorry.

but but, the monsters they are comin
and they don't look very happy
and i'm afraid that they might get me
so i really have to hurry.

i just wanted you to know
that you're only one who can save me from them
yeah i just wanted you to know
that you're the only one.
at least i believe so.
