about

A flight from NZ to Singapore via Indo, on my first trip to Asia. On my first night in Malaysia in the monsoon, staying in a run down backpackers surrounded by languid heat, mozzies, and giant cockroaches, I lay on the bed and wrote my first Asia inspired song. My mum's favourite song so it must be good!!

lyrics

Traveling from a young green land, across a vast blue ocean, we drank our eyeballs full of booze and beer in Jakarta. I landed on a mongrel island lost in all its money, just one night is all you need to get into this country. I have no plans for talking much as I am moving on this journey. This is the story of monsoons and rice paddies.
