Chemistry

about

I’ve been fortunate to travel throughout the world for my work, but I’ve always found it a relief to come back to the tranquillity of New Zealand after each trip. Over the years I’ve come to appreciate the personal chemistry I have with the environment, the people and the geography, which I haven’t found anywhere else. I wrote this song to describe the relationship I have with this “everchanging land”. The scenic video was filmed during time spent hiking recently in the Abel Tasman National Park and in the Coromandel Peninsula over the last month, combined with some clips from the excellent New Zealand Story website.

lyrics

It’s midnight on this seven eighty seven
There’s blackness all around me, as far as eyes can see
I’m coming home, to Aotearoa, I’m coming home to where I need to be
Chemistry, it’s flowing in my blood now
I feel it in the pulse of this everchanging land
Chemistry, the music of the landscape
Sings to me in voices that make me understand
And when I take my leave, once more across the oceans
I travel to locations of famous pedigree
They hustle and they bustle, alluring and exotic, yet soon I just dream of being back in sanity.
Walk the tracks, breathe the air, swim the sea, climb the peaks
Find out what makes this place the ultimate retreat
Chemistry, it’s flowing in my blood now
I feel it in the pulse of this everchanging land
Chemistry, the music of the landscape
Sings to me in voices that make me understand
