Thanks RP.
Seems, I don't know, derivative? Unoriginal? I feel like I've heard this song before, but with much better lyrics.
I tend to "hate" the "singalong songs" like this one.
A interesting song title.
Wonder if anyone ever asks her to sing far away.

I wish she'd go far away!

She's great. Would love to see her live (in California), but that seems unlikely. May have to go to New Zealand.
Thanks Bill. Nice to know our local music gets out there :)

gotta love the places she has lived.
According to Wikipedia she grew up near Cape Foulwind, west coast of NZ and has lived in various parts of the globe. She spent a year close to the Atacama Desert in Chile (slideshow) and two years in the Rocky Mountains in Canada and is now based at the foothills of the Southern Alps.

thanks for the link on the Atacama Desert, NoEnz....last time I came to post a comment on this track (like 6 months ago), your link acted like a temporary ADHD causing tonic, and I was completely sidetracked by the images of the quiet beauty of the Atacama desert.
So, I'm here now after taking an imaginary Adderall so I can say this about the song: I'm surprised I have this rated an 8. Each time I hear it I think "nah, that's a 6 or 7" but damn if this catchy little pop song, with interesting percussion, doesn't just worm its way into my brain and keep my tap-tap-tapping away on my keyboard with a smile on my face. And that is all it takes for me to rate an 8.
PEACE and Long Live RP!!

I can see why there is no needs for the lyrics on this one.
I think the album cover needs a caption contest:
Attempt #1
"Seriously, the tour bus left without me?!?!"
