I have a few waiata that have never been released they are demo's but again I guess that its better to share them and hopefully they help people then keep them on my computer :) arohanui whaanau xmasex 

StepIntoTheLight - Mix2

Stripped right back to just the guitar and me :) 'Take it all' is about taking or trying to help get rid of harahara or mamae in the bridge I say 'who shattered the moon?' the moon/stars are the source of light for us when all else fails i liken that light to the place or part of us we all hold very near and dear once that is shattered its darkness its mamae we get lost, so its about helping people igniting that flame again for them to see the path :) written and garagebanded about 5 years ago :)

Take It All

Written 6 years ago recorded 4 years ago, inspired by a series of books I read The Outlander series by Diana Gabaldon :)
