Always searching 03:47
lyrics

Always Searching (Kashia Faumui) Ain’t it funny how things change, Nothing ever stays the same Once a child, now a growing man, What was then, isn’t now What is now won’t be then, Oh ain’t it funny how things change Cos we’re always searching for more When will we be happy? When will that time come? We all live each day in search for something When we get there in times, we change our mind And start over again It’s like a Ferris wheel that never stops to let you off Going round and round, stuck in the motions And don’t make a sound,……………..Chorus Feel like a child runaway Will someone please bring me home today Is this what we’re meant to be, Sailors on an endless sea

How Sweet (Kashia Faumui) Why are you feeling so down? You better flip that frown, right away Come and sing this silly song with me And we’ll see how sweet this life can be When there’s good there’ll always be the bad But if you look at all the things you have Oh you will see how sweet it can be Why are you feeling so blue? There are many reasons for you to wear that beautiful smile of yours This may not be your day but you’ll have plenty more Just don’t worry and see how sweet this life can be

Not worth fixing 02:53
lyrics

Not Worth Fixing (Kashia Faumui) You’re like a hole in my sock, not worth fixing I’m done wasting my time on you Oh you’re stuck in the mud, and you keep sinking All my care and my love won’t budge you I give in (echo), I give up (echo) You won’t budge (echo), No you won’t move (Ooo) I give in (echo), I give up (echo) No my care and my love won’t budge you I know a broken somebody, some would call him a fool He was tall and he had it all, but he thought he was too cool He a got a little of track, must’ve lost his compass and map Now I saw this lost sheep, offered my guidance But he threw it right back He thought everything’d be a breeze, I told him mm it’s a tough world out there Going up and down like a yoyo, his stubbornness got him now where He knew what’s wrong and what’s right, but he still put a fight I hope he comes to his senses and makes it mended Well he just might

Achievable 02:44
lyrics
buy track
Achievable (Koebi Faumui) Anything’s achievable You just have to focus You’ve got to keep that momentum Then everyone will start to notice You’ve got to want success more than you want to breathe You got to want it more than anything I know it takes a lot of discipline But if you follow these rules than you’re sure to be in When everything’s dark and you’ve lost all hope And you need that someone to help you climb that rope You've got no food and you've got no home And you live on the streets with no place to roam You say that you’ve got a terrible life You got no money and you got no wife No one will give you a place to stay All they want to do is push you away All that comes with work You didn’t think it would be that easy You got to get in that mindset Then it will pass you like lemon squeezy

The unknown 03:07
lyrics

The Unknown (Salale Faumui) What to do, where to start All these feeling in my heart I see many things on my way What else will I see today? Many sights amuse me Makes me think of my family Some would be better to not be seen But it might build my personality Like a tree my mind starts to grow Branching into areas of the unknown The roots of intelligence flow through me Making me see myself differently It’s a good experience, has a sense of triumph Though I feel defiant oh Finally gonna spread my wings Get a feeling of on top of things The more I see the more I know Full steam ahead let’s goes Its scary looking from the outside Makes you wonder what’s wrong or right Maybe I’m mis-educated and need to be reformulated Lying down looking across the sky, what sort of person am I?

Social ladder 02:35
lyrics
buy track
Social Ladder (Kashia Faumui) It’s all about impressions What you think of them, what they think of you You try so hard to please But who? Them or you? Your need to feel significant Will it quench your thirst, or make it worse? What’s the point in all these things? Someone must inform you, it’s never ending You keep climbing the rigs of the social ladder But sooner or later you’ll find what does it matter These temporary joys of life won’t be the ones you remember So what really is the point in this social ladder? Some people throw away everything Everything they ever knew, those who cared for you Without a clue about the cost Or the damage done, you won’t get a refund It won’t be long before you find And realise how quickly is all slipped away Was it worth it? Well that’s a matter we can debate

Trick myself 02:27
lyrics
buy track
Trick myself (Salale Faumui) I look into my heart with head held high Find my emotions much to my surprise But what concerns me comes from deep inside Where a malevolent thing likes to hide So I pray to god and tell myself a lie To trick my mind for the thousandth time It may be bad but it gets me by At least through the next few sleepless nights One wise person has once said Solve your problems with your head Though the heart is a different matter It wasn’t made just to be broken and flattered Better think this whole thing through Before the problem stays with you I gotta keep on holding on and Get this thing out of my thoughts I know I got the missing puzzle piece How can I get rid of things like these?

Life 02:25

Life (Koebi Faumui) Life’s going pretty well for me It looks like it’s going the way I want it to be I’ve just turned my double digit number Now I don’t have to feel like I’m the one under But everyone has their down times Seems like they don’t know what to do But if we have that little spark of hope We might have the faith to climb that rope I’ve just graduated Now my family doesn’t think I’m cute I can’t wait til I get my car I’ll probably be driving a Ute I’ve just turned twenty one I’ve finally got my car I’m on a tour with my brother and sister And hope one day I’ll become a star

Embers 03:26
lyrics

Embers (Salale Faumui) There was a girl I used to know, She was the apple of my eye But something was peculiar, Something I can’t describe Now this is something very strange to me From on to another she would go pleasantly I could not decipher her activities soon it became very clear to me Her love is like an ember (There one night gone the next day) Her love is like an Ember (keeps me on my toes, keeps me wide awake) Her love is like an ember (Makes you weary, don’t make a mistake) Yes her love is like an Ember Though she tricks me, she was on my mind Every second to an hour of the time I knew I had to let her go my head said yes but my heart said no So now I know what has to be done No one said this was gonna be fun Why can’t you let her go? It’s for the best you know But what if it causes harm? Keep it cool stay calm Even though we both know something’s wrong It wasn’t gonna last for long

For a reason 03:02
lyrics
buy track
For a reason (Koebi Faumui) Everything happens for a reason Whether it’s good or bad Everything happens for a purpose Whether it makes you happy or sad One day I win the lottery The next day I loose my cash What is it with all this contrast There has always been some ups and downs in my past One time I became a father The day after I got fired Why do these odd things happen All this thinking id making me tired All these things are making me fed up I don’t know if I should just give up This repetitive sequence is either good or bad And it’s making me feel both happy and sad I don’t want this anymore I’m sick and tired and shutting the door

about

Hello everyone. Thank you for visiting this site and taking an interest in our music. Always searching is a mixture of songs that just records certain aspects of life from ourselves. The title song talks about our need for always searching for things, and whilst this is an important part of life as it’s good to want to improve and get better but it can be a bad thing when it doesn't allow us to enjoy and appreciate what we have along the way. You’ll probably be able to tell which of us wrote which as it’s always interesting looking at life from the perspective of an 11, 16 and 17 adolescent. The songs talk about relationships, friendships, love, family and self-reflection.

As always our music is available for free download. However, if you also wish to give a donation you're most welcome to do so as well.

Kindest regards and wishing you much love and blessings,
Kashia, Salale & Koebi

The artwork for "Always searching" was designed and drawn by Salale. The eye is looking through a monocular from which different designs incorporate various shapes. In Polynesian art these shapes signify strength, security (squares and triangles) and continuity (circles and curves). The thought behind using these aspects of designs represent the importance of feeling safe and secure, balanced with the importance growth and endless possibilities.

Who are we?

I'm Kashia(17), I'm Salale(16) and I'm Koebi(11) Faumui. We are a vocal group who've been singing and performing together for the past three years. Predominately raised and influenced by gospel and acapella music from a young age. We've been classically trained in piano from the age of five and have extended our interest of musical instruments to guitar, bass, ukulele, trumpet and drums.

We developed our vocal ability to sing and harmonize through regular singing sessions around the guitar as little kids, and under the musical influences of our Samoan Dad and Polish Mum. The main reason why we do music is because we love it and while we may not have the most amazing voices or the most gifted musicians you've heard, but we can promise you our best every time we sing.
