Sana

I remember waking up after losing sleep. I think it was 2AM, maybe even 1. By the time I was done, I'd recorded more than three songs. One of them was WE DON'T GET ALONG, which ended up getting released.

I'd made the beat already, and what I had in mind was a bonfire. Everyone sitting around it, and one simple melody you can't get out of your head. That's why "acha nikujue sana" just keeps repeating, over and over. Let me get to know you, really know you. And later in the song, I answer it myself: "utanijua mimi sana." You'll know me, really well.

That's the thing about "sana." It just means "very" or "a lot," but it's the whole point. It's not about knowing someone a little. It's about wanting all of it.

The birth of a great song can interrupt your sleep. And that's a good thing.
