about
It had been eight years since I'd stepped foot on the island of Nusa Lembanogan off the east coast of Bali in Indonesia. A whole life had seemingly passed before me in that time as I ventured out into the dim early morning light..........
Deep within the forest a yellow Oriole’s call echoed as I stumbled upon the opening melody. I vowed to myself that this song would only exist to give back in some way. A reminder that, although change is the most fundamental nature of existence, we can learn, respond and interact with that change with compassion, wisdom and love.

lyrics
The morning light
Is breaking low
Upon these islands
The time turns slow
Among the green
Behind the blue
There lie the ways
That we once new
So bring your smile
And spread your cheer
Make true the wise
While we're still here
'Cos we're still here
The midday burns
As changes seep
Beyond these times
The fires burn deep
Before we break
The trust we've earned
Make good the ways
That we once learned
( Chorus )
The midnight mends
In calm and cool
In water's swell
With the stones we threw
May hearts hold more
And hands give free
As guardians all
In ways are we
( Chorus )
Is breaking low
Upon these islands
The time turns slow
Among the green
Behind the blue
There lie the ways
That we once new
So bring your smile
And spread your cheer
Make true the wise
While we're still here
'Cos we're still here
The midday burns
As changes seep
Beyond these times
The fires burn deep
Before we break
The trust we've earned
Make good the ways
That we once learned
( Chorus )
The midnight mends
In calm and cool
In water's swell
With the stones we threw
May hearts hold more
And hands give free
As guardians all
In ways are we
( Chorus )

A fantastic record from my good friend Nayfe SJs band Chailo Sim, now The Valleyers. Check out 'All about the lessons', an album I produced and guested on with nayfe back in the day. Both are awesome!
