Tell me, have we been here before?
I'd like to stare at your life like the cat in the window
Look in the eye when the firelight's reflecting
Drive me to plains I had never been to, to rest in
I remember the red-tinted evening where
sequences spiralled outa early Spring heat

Born at the end of the current wave
But I get by with the turn of another page without it
Let your thoughts be the lanterns that shine on
through walkways converging to the narrow point
I remember such red-tinted evenings where
sequences spiralled outa early Spring heat

I watched the colours shifting with you,
where paisley patterns filled up the room
Fire burnt the ground where you stand
Tell me that you're happy and can understand

Flames scorched the scene, go back with me
Flames scorched the sea, go back with me

Paisley patterns rolled up the wall
when I could tell you anything at all

And I'd go back again
I'd go back again, yeah, yeah

I'll go back again, yeah
I'll go back again, yeah, yeah

Live and acoustic; alya isha's first single, diaSpoRia, played numerous times across the BBC – Radio 6 with Jamz Supernova and Mary Anne Hobbes as well as on BBC Introducing by Fern Buckley, and picked up by Asian Tones and Mango Masala.

Performed and recorded at the majestic Belmont Villa, which platforms some of the UK’s finest jazz talent, including Reuben James and David Mrakpor (Blue Lab Beats).

Timely as ever, the track is an exploration of being of the diaspora, written last year when alya isha reached her ancestral land of Mauritius for the first time, only to see the claws of colonisation still so deeply ingrained. A collaboration with Reunionese producer INSULA, and made possible by Babani Studios, the track is an invitation to stand in our power and to protect our lands and people: which unfortunately could not be more relevant now.

A unique sound: Maloya re-interpreted, fused with South London Soul, Jazz and Hip Hop, played live by the incredible Mahesh Parkar on tabla, Lou Stipcewich on double bass, and R.Li on keys, percussion and backing vocals, in the heart of the crumbling British Empire.

[Moondeuk]

수많은 사람들이 오가고
수많은 말들이 오가도
문득 외로워져 버린걸
나도 어쩔 수가 없잖아

내 맘에 온광이 일렁이고
내 맘을 녹녹히 매만져도
문득 외로워져 버린걸
나도 어쩔 수가 없잖아

Don’t look at me like that
세모난 눈으로 날 바라보는
그대들의 모난 눈초리가 여전한걸
Don’t look at me like that

바람에 나부끼는 머리칼들이 
우리를 괴롭게 만들어도 
머리를 스치는 여느 추억들이
우리를 괴롭게 만들어도

수 없는 의미들이 반복되고
수 없는 시간들이 반복돼도
아무리 불러도 대답이 없는 건
이미 사라져 버린걸 

문득 외로워져 버린 건
나도 어쩔 수가 없잖아
문득 찾아와 버린 건
나도 어쩔 수가 없잖아 

수많은 사람들이 오가고
수많은 말들이 오가도
문득 외로워져 버린걸
나도 어쩔 수가 없잖아

Don’t look at me like that
세모난 눈으로 날 바라보는
그대들의 모난 눈초리가 여전한걸
Don’t look at me like that
