An insistent electronic voice in the dark, asking questions that we dont always have the answers to.

A kiwi guy who can play damn near anything, and produce it as well, and an aussie girl with a dream of singing some of the greats, as well as their own.
Jed and I met online in about November 2007 and he introduced me to the world of online jamming through Ninjam. He encouraged me to write lyrics and then to get some gear and start singing. I loved it so much, I started taking lessons (after daydreaming about doing that for years) and we've come along in leaps and bounds since then. We like jazz standards / jazz fusion / pop / r&b / latin / chillout and Jed is always keen to rock out if given the chance. We're based in Auckland and Canberra which is about 3000kms apart, so technology is everything.

Story behind the song
This is a more electronic groove as Jed's been enjoying those lately. This was a darker feel, and the words and melody just came out of nowhere. I was thinking about how we present ourselves differently to different groups of friends and workmates.
Lyrics
another day and we put our masks on again go out the door and blend right in til we get home we hide ourselves from everybody else so how can you Love me if you never see behind the mask naked only behind doors taken only in small doses hidden deep behind the scars take the time to smell the roses faking every single breath noone knows just what you're thinking take the time to look inside your heart to see inside and know it from the start take the time to learn to find your way try the mask then throw them all away everybody has one, a mask they show the world a layer of protection, to keep from getting hurt who can we trust to see the truth take the chance and reveal it too naked only behind doors taken only in small doses hidden deep behind the scars take the time to smell the roses faking every single breath noone knows just what you're thinking take the time to look inside your heart to see inside and know it from the start take the time to learn to find your way try the mask then throw them alway throw them all away throw them all away (up at the end) and thats that
