while i know i've posted a couple of songs here, i don't think i've ever flogged 'naked and in love'. so here goes.
'naked and in love' (also NAIL) is three of us, reuben, sanga and me, who used to write together in our university years. we had no way to record then, though we did dream of doing so someday. then i left shillong, and never really went back. in 2008, a little before leaving for aotearoa NZ, dee and i made a quick trip to shillong. in the time it took us to get there, roob had pushed hard enough that we'd got a name for the project, and decided to record. while we did manage to make it to the studio for some of it, most songs were recorded squashed up in roob's bedroom, between infinite cups of red tea and qwai.
and this is the result.
'zama left today' was the only song written (together) during that intense one week, the others are all from back in the day. feedback, as always, is welcome.

Kia ora feddabonn,
Wow! That is really cool, and don't we all just try to figure out today much less worry about tommorow. I thought for a second I was listening to an acoustic set by Paul Weller. Very moving, I hope the next 11 years sees a bit more come to the world.

kia ora robb, and much thanks for the encouragement. roob and sanga are still writing songs, all my tunes have dried up since i left shillong. interesting comparison w/ paul weller...none of us have him as an influence as far as i know!
Kia ora feddabonn,
You know I can't say that Paul Weller was an influence on me either, but a few years ago I was home alone and for some reason put on some tunes from some acoustic thing he did and it really blew me away. Your tune reminds me of that.
thanks hugely again, robb. will try find some and have a listen!
