Wonderful Life

Above Ground

Paulo Almeida, front man for Dili Allstars, Sol Nation and Mystic Trio has embarked  on a solo project and is releasing his third single, ‘Stay A While’.

Staying true to his island roots, this new track sets a scene for lover’s reggae, vibing with lyrics sung in both English and Tetum (Timor Leste), Paulo’s native language. The song speaks to spending time with the people you love, creating lasting memories and forging deep connections, opening to the mystery of life, love and the other side.

In the words of the Natural Mystic, Bob Marley,

"Live for yourself and you will live in vain. Live for others and will live again."

STAY A WHILE

Forward

Wow!

I read the release notes for this, and it mentioned Jungaji singing with his son Dean Brady, credits for guitar, bass, keys, drums and so on and so forth.

What I did not expect was the amazing production which has gone into this song.

It’s really easy to push production too far, but this is superb. 

It’s a classically strong backing, I almost felt that I was in the middle of an operatic aria.

It has a strong presence with a massive impact.

The strength of this song matches the interpretation of kalkurr meaning the Milky Way with all its vastness.

The song says, and I apologise in advance for my pronunciation

Junjulkurr bordigular
Yinya gurrindah nyigu

There’s a big change
And it’s coming now

This song is a part of that change.
