folk upbeat
I call my music POLY FOLK
When i want to hear a good song, I just write one.
Musician who sticks to the basics. I like rhythm and upbeat usually, its a Polynesian thing but lyrics are a mainstay part of my music.
I listen to everything musically from Hip hop to Rock to folk and try to see what inspires the creative genius in everyone
Story behind the song
about moving on...next generation of something...my first camera...

I look through you, feel you warm upon my face,
that first time, in my shaking hands
I take you every where I go, your part of my life,
always close at hand now
theres not a solitary photograph, of you holding me
and do the pictures on the wall tell the story of it all,
are they a true and accurate depiction
or are they merely just reminders of a candid viewfinder,
snapshot gone by
and the lines upon the faces clearly show the pace that everyone,
has danced away their lives
you can tell the party goers from all the stay at homers,
by their silly snapshot smiles,
captured, for eternity, or until, deleted permanently
well your analogue, Im digital, its more than just style,
It’s the way we’ve been made, the way we live life
You see Im always moving on, keeping up with the play
your anchored by nostalgia in some yesterday
While im letting go of everything, you hold to the past,
like an 8 track classic in this digital age
reliable and functional nice to have around,
You were my little slicer of life
then an instamatic moment made a whole dramatic shift
and changed both our lives
I was takin by her modern look, I wanted her right there and then
To come up and make some art
I didn’t have to hope and pray the sun would be ok,
in her depth of field
but when I turn around the world had gone
and moved along to the next generation
captured, for eternity, or until, deleted permanently
Now we’re sitting on the fence looking out at the world
You’ve got digitals and analoguers getting on well
don’t listen to them tell you we’re incompatible
we’re all just different, not the run of the mill
and its obvious to everyone, life just moves on,
you cant stop change its inevitable
take a quick look back, to see where you’ve been,
snap another picture for the photo album
and do the pictures on the wall tell the story of it all,
are they a true and accurate depiction
Or are they merely just reminders
of a candid viewfinder, snapshot gone by
and the lines upon the faces clearly show the pace that everyone,
has danced away their lives
you can tell the party goers from all the stay at homers,
by their silly snapshot smiles,
captured, for eternity, or until, deleted permanently
your analogue , Im digital, your analogue, Im digital
captured
