    "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

hey, hey why are you acing this way?
you let me know you want to be alone
but hey, why are you acting this way?
why so glum chum, you make me feel so dumb
when you don't explain you just push me away.

it's been days, it's been days
without sayin a word but i heard you were angry.
so why on earth wont you speak to me?
if anything you can always count on me.

and it's true, i've been in love with you
since the sky turned blue, started holding up the moon
the bird will sing to the flowers in the spring
the stars will blink more times than you can even think

hey, hey why are you acting this way?
