I lived in Hawai'i for a few years, and while I was there I fell in love with the Aloha spirit that fills the Hawai'ian islands and their people. Although it was sad to leave the place that I had grown to love so much, I remember waiting for my plane (with leis around my neck, of course!) and a friend telling me that I would bring some of the Aloha spirit with me when I left. This idea stuck with me and many years later I decided to write a song that expressed the feelings I had when I thought about my time there - the joy, the sadness, and the idea that by calling upon my experiences in Hawai'i, I could actually bring the best of the islands into my life and the lives of those around me.
Aloha is a word that doesn't translate well - some combination of hello, love, spirit, and goodbye. The lyrics explore all of these concepts, and I hope that this music brings some of the Aloha spirit into your home - wherever that may be.
"Every time you think of Hawai'i, you'll bring a little Aloha, bring a little Aloha back home."
