Overture 00:28

Retrograde 03:08
I know that it might seem strange to you that I’m running away And I’ve only got 3 days to pack my belongings I can’t express in words to you what I’m searching for But rest assured I know in my heart it is calling But you, you want me to stay You, you want me to stay Is it Mercury’s retrograde that’s got me behaving this way Cause lately my mind’s been wandering round in circles If I were to settle down with you I’d be longing for more So the tighter you grip the more I’ll slip away from you But you, you want me to stay You, you want me to stay Retrograde, is it retrograde, retrograde So if you love me let me go, let me fly (x6)

Summer Rain 06:24
Breathe deep, summer rain seep (x2) Rain falls on my face And this green grass where I lay Sun warms my salty skin Embrace the state I am in Love can wait And joy can be late Cause right now this moment is mine To forgive, forget, let go, and grow Summer rain Hand stands in the sand As this summer breeze blows through my hair Rainbow colours the great sky As light dances and birds fly Love can wait And joy can be late Cause right now this moment is mine To forgive, forget, let go, and grow Summer rain Breathe deep, summer rain seep (x2)

Lullaby 03:52
I have walked a many road to know that There are too many to conquer alone And I have talked a many conversation To know that actions speak louder than words So if you give me your ears and let me tell you That you’re never too old to make mistakes and grow If you give me your eyes and let me show you That the world is full of possibility If you give me your heart and let me love you The best that I know how When you realize that all the windows Of opportunity are open for you And all you have to do is climb up higher And the universe will pull you through So if you give me your ears and let me tell you That you’re never too old to make mistakes and grow If you give me your eyes and let me show you That the world is full of possibility If you give me your heart and let me love you The best that I know how I’m not trying to tell you that I Know it all and you should do as I say I’m only offering a new perspective To open your mind and show a new way So if you give me your ears and let me tell you That you’re never too old to make mistakes and grow If you give me your eyes and let me show you That the world is full of possibility If you give me your heart and let me love you The best that I know how

Didn’t I tell you not to be So kind to me And look where we are now Slowly sinking down We’re softly losing sense of self Each embrace melt away Smoke filled hearts they seep with love But who’s gonna pick up the pieces after the rain I put my soul in what I do My heart is drawn to you We’re not strong enough to leave Our hands fit so easy We’re softly losing sense of self Each embrace melt away Smoke filled hearts they seep with love But who’s gonna pick up the pieces after the rain When foolish young hearts have no part in the game we play Then minds wouldn’t run round in circles with so much to say We’ll run from the cold and bask in the sun all day And break every rule that man has made We’re softly losing sense of self Each embrace melt away Smoke filled hearts they seep with love But who’s gonna pick up the pieces after the rain

Share 03:53
If I hold out my hand to you will you take it If I pour out my heart to you will you break it If I ask you to come with me will you make it If I ask you to love me will you fake it I’ll share your joy I’ll share your pain I’ll share your pride And I’ll share your shame If I walk away where will you go When I return again how will you know If I try my best will your efforts be true If I can’t help you what will you do I’ll share your joy I’ll share your pain I’ll share your pride And I’ll share your shame If I speak to you will you hear me If I scream at you will you fear me If we close our eyes will our thoughts collide Will I reveal the lies that you hide behind Stretch out my neck for you What will your next move My soul longs for the wave To return to me someday I’ll share your joy I’ll share your pain I’ll share your pride And I’ll share your shame

Stay 04:11
The song that you sing makes me love everything And the words that you say keep my heart at bay The moment I wake up I can’t wait to see that face Takes me to this place When time passes slowly and I have a moment to think You’re all that comes to me I don’t wanna stay any longer Stay any stronger I don’t wanna be here without you I don’t wanna wait alone now Pray for you to be here now I don’t wanna be here without you The look in your eye tells me everything And the curl in your smile makes me warm inside The sound of your voice when you serenade me at night Got me running wild I cannot explain all the love in my soul for you Know you feel the same I don’t wanna stay any longer Stay any stronger I don’t wanna be here without you I don’t wanna wait alone now Pray for you to be here now I don’t wanna be here without you The night feels so cold when there’s no one to hold The words don’t hold true til it’s happened to you I don’t wanna stay any longer Stay any stronger I don’t wanna be here without you I don’t wanna wait alone now Pray for you to be here now I don’t wanna be here without you

Dream upon dream about you Year after year without you No one can explain the pleasure and pain For you (x2) One last night with you Two awful fights about you Time and time again when my heart is on the mend I’m reminded of you (x2) Whispers in the night pray for daylight (x2) To bring back you So where are you now (bgs: where are you x4) Where are you now I looked through your window Nothing around credits

Eve 05:10
It’s a shame to see all this life go to waste Ain’t it clear to see the price we must pay You are in the rainforest and I can feel your sweet caress As I am in the clear blue sky And you are in the ocean deep and I am tall among the trees That fill our lungs with sweet sweet life Don’t tear her down this is not your world to rule Don’t fill her with your poison and take her for a fool You’re not in the rainforest and I can’t feel your sweet caress As I am drowning in the dark sea And you’re not in the ocean deep and there are no longer tall trees That fill our lungs with life so sweet It’s a shame to see all this life go to waste
10.
Tiny Angels 03:47
You don’t know what it is I came here for in this fickle wind and snow I tried a thousand times to pick the lock and climb into your heart But no one could have seen your fate and now we stand over your grave As tiny angels carry you away And now I can hear you… I am connected to the earth by the souls of my feet I close my eyes as my mind wanders through the galaxy Cause I am free to believe what I do, what’s it to you Yes I am free to believe what I do, ain’t that the truth Cause I am free to believe what I do, what’s it to you Yes I am free to believe what I do, ain’t that the truth But no one could have seen your fate and now we stand over your grave As tiny angels carry you away
11.
We sit under stars sipping chai tea The air is warm our hearts are free My love for you is so boundless How I long for your caress Within my soul resides no fear that Truth be told within a year You’ll fly away and leave me here A flower rooted in the earth Lets weave minds As our bodies intertwine As easy a promise to make I do not intend to break No coincidence mere fate That flows neither too soon nor late A perfect balance of friendship and love A recipe create by above Look down at me and smile Sweat drips eyes wide Lets weave minds As our bodies intertwine Wait Oh its too late to wait We’re in too deep I want to love you like a sweet symphony Of sitars that take me to a higher state I wanna make my heart race To catch up to the rhythm of yours The rhythm of yours (x3) Lets weave minds As our bodies intertwine
12.
Stranger 04:55
Today, today is not the best of days I got your wake up call, I heard about her fall And you, why didn’t you do anything To save her heart from the pain, and show her the light again Why didn’t you There’s still time left to change her mind I know she’ll shine again stranger Fill her heart up with love Yeah she’ll smile again stranger Oh she, she is just a baby Not even 16 But her heart, her heart is filled with emptiness And cold broken promises, and superficial happiness, Why didn’t you There’s still time left to change her mind I know she’ll shine again stranger Fill her heart up with love Yeah she’ll smile again stranger I don’t know why you’ve done the things you’ve done I don’t know where you’ve been, I don’t know what you’ve seen In life, but my heart cries out to you I know that I’m far away and can’t be where you are today There’s still time left to change her mind I know she’ll shine again stranger Fill her heart up with love Yeah she’ll smile again stranger

about

Meiwa's first full length solo album entitled "Let Go & Grow" showcases her vocal talent but also hints at the breadth of her songwriting - ranging from heavily latin influenced acoustic numbers like “Lullaby”, a song written to her brother while he struggled with addiction, to the neo-soul and even vintage soul sounds of “Retrograde” and “Where Are You”. The album is produced by Patrick Watson Quine of Watson Unlimited Music, and features a song co-written and produced by 3-time Grammy award winner Chin Injeti. It’s a strong first step into the market, sure to make an impression.
