In 2016 in Jakarta
While I was practising & recording on someone’s piano
A voice was recorded saying ‘don’t let it disappear’ or ‘do let this be’ in English
It’s origin is a mystery
This commitment
To music is all I am
I'm happy to go
Anytime & leave behind
As a volume bar
Just living for the art
The genius Sensei draws a fish in a book
That swims towards the shining light
A master of her craft shares and inspires
ありがとうございます
There's still so much work to do

The fog rolls
Along the blue
Landscape sweeps
Wings will spread
The tides ripple
The flowers bloom
Corals changing colour
Pictures outdated
The end
The end
The end
Nothing captures you like the smell of smoke
Nothing fractures like a maligned eco
System
Suits words are gone
Factories gone
Business' swan song
Private flights
To lecture us all
Doesn't matter
Nothing burns like the forest before you
Nothing sears like the desert hiss through
Hey go on, kita ayo ke change
It might be too late
But at least we've made the effort
That's what matters in the end
It doesn't matter what we say
I'm a consumer as well low on the food chain
Off my potential soapbox I step
Just nearly lost myself in these companies

We took a little rowboat out
The waves tumbled us around
As we fished freely to catch some tea
In that clear blue sea
That clear beautiful sea
Houses many incredible things
Little did we know of the floods it would bring
So we cast
Out in our little boat
Then returned to the shanty that evening
The place where you'd teach how to adapt & see
Nature is a wonder nor friend nor enemy
It expects harmony to let you go graciously
& the wind rattled the trees
An adventure empty
Cast Away

You've become adopted family
Discover my vulnerability
Outside of this art
I'm a coconut
As you chuckle at my expression
Cause of someone special we've seen
Haven't felt this since a bygone embrace on the crimson staircase
But the only similarities now is it's become the colour of my face
She's made me shy & silly aduh
I hope that we inspire you
Because dear sister you're full of potential
Life's too short to not be real
I'm not sure if I can play this without a warm face
She's brilliant & inspires us in lots of ways
So we've got this pile of
Never ending noodles
On one of those cold evenings
They've found some starving artists
But I'm so glad
Our art brought us together
That's the magic in the south easts bad weather
You've got such a bright future
You say it's sweet that this special woman makes me blush
I love you dear sister, with a yellow heart

In a huge hole in the sky
An angel plays her lullabies
While the people below gaze up high
With some brightened peace in their eyes
Yet the angel puts on a disguise
Takes the secret path down to help those lives
That exist where the real issues are
That the supposed heavenly watch from afar
& when she gets home she's closer to the haven
Though she knows that it can get a little fruitless
For not everyone can be helped
Nor every problem easily solved
Yet this angel that made it there
Knows segregation helps no one here
So as the world gets much uglier
& Everything gets so much stranger
& most celebrities aren't worth that much
Fakeness & greed replace love
She soon became the only one left in heaven
Because she didn't fear climbing down for humans
I'm not here to tell you what you need to be
I just create things to be with you when you need
I've no right to preach from above
Just move onwards to keep my better half
I'll keep faith to move better on
A path that's not owned by some external God
Deep down we can never give up
The better us that runs deep in who we are
Some of us lose our greater part
& need to sternly follow this path
To relocate the angel within us
That's what makes a real star
The world we’ve made fails us
In ways that what we make never will
