    "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

i suggest me take a walk today
i hope you don't forget the things i say
when i say them to you.

you always think that i'm not listening
when you're talking to me
but i'm listening to you.

today is the hottest day
of the year so far
it's breaking records and
it's breaking hearts
i gotta get outta the house
or i just might burn up
with all this talk about
fallin in love.

i need more time to walk on
i need more air to breathe
so i will stay right in
a summer that's been good to me
we'll keep it hot just like we should
because we both know too much
while everybody's talkin about
fallin in love
while everybody's thinkin about
fallin in love
