Sublime with Rome – Goodbyes (Post Malone cover)

I want you out of my head
I want you out of my bedroom tonight
There’s no way I could save you
‘Cause I need to be saved, too
I’m no good at goodbyes

Kimie Miner – By Your Side (Sade cover)

You think I’d leave your side, baby
You know me better than that

NIFANA – Risk It All (Bruno Mars cover)

It’s crazy, but it’s true
There’s nothing I won’t do
I’d risk it all for you

I used to hate island music – then I went to Kauai 7 years ago and it altered my brain chemistry. I love Hawaiian/Reggae covers of songs now, especially songs I didn’t particularly care for before (except Sade’s By Your Side – I’ve always loved that song 🥹 I said it would be my wedding song when it came out in 2000 😅 26 years later, I’m still not married, but I still love that song).

When I worked in the office, I’d visit Nori in her office and she was usually playing a Hawaiian radio station (unless she was super busy, then she’d play a Spanish radio station LOL – She’s Japanese on her dad’s side and Mexican on her mom’s side). Maoli’s cover of Bonnie Raitt’s I Can’t Make You Love Me was playing a few different times I went to her office, and I was like, ‘Is this our song?’ 🤣
