A fusion of world, folk and new age, built on a base of rhythm guitar and Cajon then layered with new age synths, exotic percussion instruments and topped with a 1950s style surf guitar, with lyrics that reflect on the big questions in life.
lyrics
ANSWERS TO WHY Lyrics...
One thing I need to tell you, is why...birds fly, people die and babies cry
One thing I need you to let me know is when...the world began, will it end and will you ever hold my hand again
Chorus
And why, I, I cant sleep oh 'till I know the answers to why
One minute I'm on a swing, smiling at trees
Next minute I am wondering if Toronto's, right for me
Why does a rooftop at 5am feel like home?
Why does it feel so strange being all alone?
(Chorus)
I'm drifting, through this space, no direction, or way to go
How can I trust, I'm doing what's right with no one, telling me yes or no
(Chorus)
Now I, I know the answers to why
I feel it, I found it, deep inside of me
Sometimes its oh so hard, but I trust you...voice inside
