    "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 it's so cold outside
and i just can't stand to be away for so long
it's breakin my heart just like it always did

oh it's so cold outside and
it's making me feel less alive
just like the statues in the park
crying their eyes out and turning into rust and

oh, it's so cold outside
and i just can't stand to be away, so far
it's breakin my heart to be so far apart

even the robins in the sky
seem to sulk as they pass me flying by
and soon they wont even leave their trees
singing "please!please!please! stop the rain for me"
