about
I've never had the opportunity to visit Kaho'olawe, but this song by Emma Bishop tells about a Kaho'olawe unscathed by the bombing it became subjected to from the US Military.
I hope to be able to visit some day.
When I heard this song, I immediately knew that I wanted to record it with Reed Hew-Len. I felt like this would be a great track to collaborate on with the interplay between guitars, the call and answer verses, and the beautiful harmonies.
Clive put up a partition in the studio that looked like a gigantic S. Reed sat on one side, I sat on the other, and we just went. I had a great time recording this song and who knows. One day we may even finish it. haha
