about

In Fall of 2017, four friends representing five countries came together to record a song. We represent different languages, different political systems, different upbringings, and different belief systems. Yet these differences pale in importance to our friendship, and together we made a little piece of art come alive.

Jane Huang is from the People’s Republic of China, speaks Cantonese, Mandarin, and English, and currently lives in Guangzhou, Southern China. Busiswa Zondi is from South Africa and the United Kingdom, speaks English and Zulu, and is currently living in Guangzhou as well. José Luis Vílchez is from Nicaragua and the United States, and Cora Rose is from the United States. Both Cora and José speak English and Spanish, and were living in Guangzhou at the time of the recording. They are now living in Nicaragua.

lyrics

Simple roses growing toe-to-toe amid the blue
Skies up above that rain like lovers do
Too soon, too soon to understand the truth
You just sit for a while and be

Longer days and shorter moments mark your working day
Little things forgotten, and some have too much sway
Too soon, too soon to lose an ounce of faith
You just sit for a while and be

Refrain
And never, ever, ever want the one without the other
Never, ever feel without the two
Adorn your life with stories like the rainbow
And then sit for a while and be

Life she comes with armored roses, shifting by the day
Years lived in sunshine, then some years lived in rain
Too soon, too soon to give in, to be tamed
You just sit for a while a be
