about

This is the newest song on the album, written while I was jogging the trails of Taroko National Park. I asked for permission from my friend Tong, who is a member of the Taroko tribe (of Taiwan), to sing this song. Naruwan is a word that is used in hundreds of Taiwan aboriginal songs, and I did not want to overstep my bounds. Tong said "no problem" and also performed the song with me the first time it was played in public. We had hoped to get Tong on the track, and he joined us in the studio, but it happened to be the night Travis' landlady put an early stop to our recording. She could not understand why Travis did not sleep more and play music less. Later, we ran out of time and were unable to get Tong on track.
