about

The first single from our forthcoming album 'Ngā Ara Maha', out December 14.

lyrics

I don't live my life,
By some book that I read yesterday.

They say without purpose, without meaning,
That my life is less meaningful than theirs,
Is this their truth? Do they really believe this?
Well I just live my life with love and meaningless proof.

I don't live my life,
By some book that I read yesterday.

Kei titiro ake, me titiro iho,
Kāore e whāngaia ngā tangata e te atau, heoi,
Kia whakatinana te mauri o te toa,
Kei mate wheke, me mate ururoa.

I don't live my life,
By some book that I read yesterday.
