about

This track is about going it a one and getting stuck in a rut thinking about why. I'm alone because it was the right thing to do. It sucks... but that's the deal. So pick it up.

lyrics

So now I sing alone
Where once I sung with you
and a tension grew between us
only one thing I could do

Oh and now I stand alone
when before I stood with you
that situation was poison
What else could I do?

And I will row alone
this boat built for one
pursue a new direction
and I'm off into the sun
And I will row alone
te mōhiki tōtahi
float of into the sun
in this boat built for one.

And now alone I'll sing
I'll put my heart and soul right in
Sing to the Lord a new song
of this good music my friend.

focused on my solitude
an obsessive lonely rower
is this a separation I've created... or...

He waka eke noa
(He waka eke noa)

Te mōhiki tōtahi
He waka eke noa

And I will row alone
this boat built for one
pursue a new direction
and I'm off into the sun
And I will row alone
te mōhiki tōtahi
float of into the sun
in this boat built for one.

Can I see beyond the prow?
is it fog that blocks my sight?
Will I travel to tomorrow?
Will I row through the night?

Is this loneliness a burden?
Or a self-imposed exile?
Dreaming of the day I'm looked for,
to lay it down and reconcile.

And I will row alone
this boat built for one
pursue a new direction
and I'm off into the sun
And I will row alone
te mōhiki tōtahi
float of into the sun
in this boat built for one.

Hi all,
My name's greg and I'm a musician in Christchurch New Zealand. I work full time as a restoration ecologist and am pretty keen on making music whenever I get the chance. I play a bunch of instruments and do some amateur recording.
