People ask how do you do write the songs or where does your inspiration come from? Thoughts and Dreams.
Mi Cielito is derived from Cielito Lindo, a song I have always loved because no matter where you are when people sing it, everyone joins in . It captures the spirit of the song with all souls, singing together and forgetting troubles for the moment and just enjoying being together.
When It Rains was inspired by a friend's long-distance relationship. You see, in Taiwan, it almost always is raining. And my friend thought of her love all the time.
On the Up is an uplifting tune meant to express joy and good vibes and keep propelling that energy upward and outward.
Spensierato means carefree in Italian. Ever notice when people get in a good mood, they don't really care (or notice) when everything around them is chaos, they are oblivious.
Sun Down cam about when a riff in the family happened and folks were not talking to one another. It greatly saddened me and this song is the expression of that.
More Than Love is a melody that my dad hummed and I believe is a romantic expression of his love for mom.
Walk Away was inspired by a good friend's painful experience and realization that she had to walk away.
Pour Evangeline is a tribute to my mom who has always given and never asked for anything in return. We all reflect on our growing years and have come to an understanding of all of the choices and sacrifices our parents have made.
Contemplation came about from a solo circle with Them Kool Kats- it felt good during the circle, so good that it wrote itself into the album. Kudos to Austin for his awesome groove!
