When night was young
You searched the city
You walked alone
Yearning to find that very place
Where the river rolls
Cascading leaves
Hear silent oak trees grow
Never know
Whispers of truth
Why can’t you say it
You’ll never say such things to me

My fickle old friend you have made me blue
You always do
I’m violet through
a neon muse
I wonder too
If we're playing nostalgia
like we used to
I do not know
anymore
What to believe with you
coming round this late to say
Im back to stay
promise this time I’m back for good
So you’ll not play alone

Its rising in the night
When the lights are out
The garden of your dreams
Where the waters golden
An unexpected view
Of when wrongs is right
Reflected in your skin
By your restless mind
Read between the lines
To escape
This space and time
Your moving with the flow
But the currents fast
The natural disguise
Of a quiet demon
beneath a crashing wave
Stands a stands a blinding light
The ultimate surprise
for your weary eyes
Beyond all the fear
You hold
of the unknown
That keeps you
standing still
In motion as
you fight
You have to
Read between the lines
To escape
This space and time

Som que leva a alma
Pra perto do ceu
Danca samba nego
E pro nosso bem
Pois toca o tamborim também
E cré no que o Brasilero tem
Mar, frevo, farofa
Sal, maracatu
Iemanja sereia
Bahia, salvador
Traz todo o mundo pra ouvir
Encantar ser e sorrir
Até o amanhecer
Pode também
Querer que não se acabe mais
E falta o sol que é bom demais
Pra nos fazer feliz de ver

about
My influences for the music on this record were so sprawling, that there had to be some elements (apart from my brilliant band) to hold it all together as one cohesive sound. So fundamentally this is my love letter to the many beautiful Afro Brazilian rhythms that I have studied over the past few years.‘Terra Boa’ is Portuguese for ‘Good earth’. In respect to the vibrant and fertile musical landscape of Brazil. Good earth which nourished the growth of my own unique musical branches from strong and deep roots. The grooves are heavily influenced by Afro Brazilian rhythmic traditions, which along with contemporary jazz harmony and improvisation, form the backbone of the music. The conceptual unification of the music on the album was derived from the Japanese aesthetic concept of Wabi-Sabi. In traditional Japanese aesthetics, Wabi-Sabi is a world view centred on the acceptance of transience and imperfection and the appreciation of the ingenuous integrity of natural objects and processes. This is exemplified by Enso ̄, a circle that is hand-drawn in one or two uninhibited brushstrokes with ink to express a moment when the mind is free to let the body create. These seven dimensions of Wabi-Sabi, Fukinsei (asymmetry; irregularity), Kanso (simplicity), Koko (basic; weathered), Shizen (without pretence; natural), Yugen (subtly profound grace), Datsuzoku (freedom), and Seijaku (tranquility), gave me an idea of balance when composing the seven studio tracks.
