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

[Pedro Alagoa · Rating 4 out of 5]

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

damn the lyrics sound like her songs

[Seth Petersen · Rating 4 out of 5]

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.

that which we do not wish to lose”

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

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

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.
