Her lyrics are poetry and that’s exactly what her music sounds like

[Pedro Alagoa]

Beautiful poems, loved to read them while riding the train and listening to the songs :)

damn the lyrics sound like her songs

[Seth Petersen]

I’ve been reading this whenever the time felt right ever since I saw her live. Her songs are written so beautifully and bring about that familiar ethereal feeling that her music evokes. Such a pleasant book to have on my shelf.

In the midst of this undulating world, raise your star

I loved every page .. I'm not even exaggerating (I highlighted almost everything). Her songs are very, VERY soothing and healing, so I'm really glad I got to read this book. Now I know her lyrics are just as soothing and healing as her melodies.

“Sad dreams always let us know
that which we do not wish to lose”

[Cath]

"blood blood
through sickness,
through thunder,
through darkness
find your way

beloved dream, beloved dream
take shelter in the glowing flowers"

[Kekoa]

1 million starts out of 5. All of her music reads like folk poetry. Like the 6th time I've read this through, but ua heluhelu au i kēia no ka mea, ua hala ʻoe iaʻu.
