Stroopwaffle Dance

its not always easy being the one to be the love, to show the love, to give the love. It sure does make things better though. It beats waiting around or demanding someone else does it first :)

Be The Love (2017 version)

Come and move your body up against mine

When I'm tired. my energy is leaking out
when I lose my cool and I scream and shout
when I'm hungry and I really need a feed
when its you and your soothing touch that I need
When I'm broken and I dont know what to do
even when its the last thing you're gonna wanna do, this is true
each and every moment woman, its up to you
this is the magic only you can do

You can make me feel like a King in the morning
You can make me feel like a God inside
You can make me feel like a man standing strong
You can make me feel everything is alright

King In The Morning (2017 version)

This song is about  creating positive, upward spirals of energy by manifesting, trusting you deserve,  receiving, by giving thanks, manifesting. upwards like catching a warm breeze under your stretched out wings

Piki ki runga ra, rise above(2018)

Inspired by the waiata (song) Me Maranga which I've been singing for nearly ten years (which was inspired by the late brother IZ from Hawaii) This new version came through me recently as I started embracing more of my shadow and wanted to carry the same message with a bit more grunt to whack you in the face a little :) It also has a line from Midnight Oil's famous song, The dead heart, towards the end. Turn it up and get it in ya

Me Maranga in ya face! (2018)
