New Video: Never Never (Throwback Session!)
🕑 Added 2019-05-16 17:51:58 +0000 UTCHi everyone :)
Sorry I've been a little quiet lately! Getting back into the swing of things back home seems to have taken up the majority of my focus the past week or so, and as a result I haven't been the best internetter. Sorry about that. But I'm back!
For those of you that don't know "Never Never", allow me to introduce you to her. I wrote this song about 15 years ago. It first appeared on my album One More In The Attic, one of my very first albums ever that I recorded in my garage in tandem with its sister album In Memory Of The Singing Bridge. Back then I had no idea how to record (or sing?! ha!), so these albums are a little rough around the edges :D But these songs still hold a very special place in my heart, and that's why I love doing these throwback sessions from time to time. It's really special to get to introduce some of you to some of my oldest songs, but in a form I'm not incredibly embarrassed by. :)
In other news, between a couple little emotional breakdowns this past week, I wrote 3 songs?! They came very much out of nowhere and it felt so good. I'm really getting excited to start recording now that I'll be home for a while again!! Thank you for allowing me the space it takes to find new songs. I'm so grateful for you all!

Iโve been playing this song on repeat for the past 24hrs. Iโm up to 150 plays on my iPhone. I know this song is aimed more towards a couples breakup. But I kinda had a friendship breakup yesterday. Itโs unfortunate that it happened, but sometimes people drift apart. But itโs such a beautiful song. ๐
You need to look up motion state and have do a video for you. The guy that owns it is a friend of mine so till him Chris Fisher set you his name is Ryan

Ah ๐ญ๐ญ๐ญ I finished the video and you said you already came. Lol Iโm glad you had a good time though!
AH I havenโt been on social media for awhile! I miss hearing your voice! I hope you still plan on coming to Japan this year!
Just one of the songs from your first 3 albums we repeatedly listened to during the loooooooong wait for the stairwells album to be born. Gidget wouldnt put anything else in our 5 disc cd player in the car accept one of David Choi's. Not that I didn't like the first 3 but it was nice to fill that 5th space with Stairwells and finally get some new music into the rotation๐
Admittedly, this has never been one of my go-to songs. However, this video has given me an entirely new appreciation for it. I think I'll pull One More In The Attic out this weekend. Best wishes! :)
I've been rereading old poetry I wrote back in the days (and some drama-filled novellas) when I was consistently recording my thoughts and emotions. While it's a lot more angst ridden then my emotions and thoughts today, it's wonderful to reflect on the journey you take and how you grow and change but also how sometimes who you are (the wonderfully imperfect parts are still there and make you the wonderfully amazing that you are). I love these types of throwbacks you do because it's real and grounded no matter. Keep them coming! I can't wait for the new songs either.
Kina, So glad you are back from your Japan trip. I enjoy the softness of your voice in this video. Please take your time to create your beautiful music. As a new fan, I am thoroughly enjoying all of your music and videos, your music has made me fall in love with music again, since my sons passing. Keep doing what you love, you are so talented and beautiful - lots of love!
Kina! This is lovely! And you're looking well :)
oh wow the olden days!! those were exciting times :) thanks for sticking around!
Sweet! I remember buying those two records, and when they came in the mail, there was a sweet little handwritten note inside :)
