Tide Me Over

‘OYAO’ is about a love interest that has the singer ‘going bananas’ and he pours out his heart to her. ‘OYAO’ will capture you through its groovy melody and catchy guitar riff. The lyrics are a fusion of English, Swahili, Luhya and Taita.

Blue Heaven

My world was thrown in limbo after I lost someone dear to me recently. I was staunchly reminded that time, however long or short, is temporary and you never get any moments back, neither do moments repeat. 
But you can hold onto the good things they did, said or were to you.
So I'm still holding on.

Original song by Simply Red; covered by Gretchen Parlato

This song is written for my grandfather, a man I never got to meet but who I feel so close to. It is written from the stories I have heard told of him by my mother, my grandmother and my aunties.

28th anniversary of his death

I hope your heart resonates with it, and more than anything, I hope this song, even mildly, soothes the ache of losing a loved one.

Lyrics:

Mama Says,
Mama says,
You were a different man,
Mama says,
Mama says,
Gold dust was in your hands.

Mama says,
Mama says,
You had a different heart, 
When you smiled,
Oh how she saw the stars.


Mama says,
Mama says,
You had a different mind,
Twice as wise,
Just as kind,
Oh how I need you now.


Mama says,
Mama says, 
It was a different day,
The day you died,
When you died,
The wind took her star away.

Mama says,
Mama says,
There’s a certain kind of pain, 
When they don’t come back, 
So,
Please come back,
And make her whole again.

Won’t you come back? 
Won’t you come back?
Please come back.
Please come back.

Mama says, 
Mama says,
There’s a certain kind of pain, 
When they don’t come back, 
So,
Please come back,
And make our home again.
