Title Track. Practicing AlohaPRACTICING ALOHA
Rainbows bless these Islands Where Heaven touches land The Light that’s in the Peoples Eyes Shows love is in command The scent of Ginger fills the air And the blessing of Beauty is everywhere Look into our Heart and Soul And see how much we care Practicing Aloha Each and Every day We’re guided by Aloha And kindness shows the way Practicing Aloha With the Spirit of these Lands Practicing Aloha Brings peace into our hands Rushing mountain waters Lights the streams to distant shores Keiki play and laugh on the beach Our hearts calls out for more This is a sacred aina That we cherish and we share The magic that we find here Is what we all look for Practicing Aloha Each and every day The Spirit that’s alive here Guides us on our way Remember that aloha The breath of Spirit lives There’s love in the Aloha It’s a blessing that we give |
Practicing AlohaI celebrated 20 years of Living on Maui, by writing some songs, with lyrics and music, that came from my love of this very special place where I live. Some are about the absolute beauty of this island. Every afternoon I walk up in Iao Valley and I'm always so moved from the energy of the AINA.
But what also is so important is the Power of the Spirit of ALOHA. Mark Ellman has a site practicealoha.org and he asked me write something for it. I came up with a poem which then evolved into the music and lyrics for Practicing Aloha. Then I ran into Fulton Tashombe and he offered to help me take the single notes and then he added the beautiful arrangements and instrumentation. Keli'i Kaneali'i added his fabulous voice to make the magic happen! Furthermore, when Mark Ellman heard it he offered to pay for a music video, so I called my dear friend Bob Stone and gave him a couple of shots and he created a wonderful music video. We just added it to Radio Imua at 107.5, Mahalo Kila! Now we're working on remixing some songs I wrote that George Kahumoku came in to sing. Eric Gilliom did a few songs And there is still more to come. This has truly been a blessed project. |
