A Song for Imeshi

Writing is and will always be a very strong way to change my mood and work on myself.

When I left Quito, I was really sad to leave my two aussie friends behind, after the pleasure I had sharing a few days with them. So a few words came to me on the night bus... Once in Tumbes, with a bad mood to get rid of and a few hours to kill, I wrote two songs.

This is one of them, and I dedicate it to Imeshi Weerasinghe, since she was the main inspiration.

If you're interested to know this, for me, it's a slow reggae, ideally sang by a high pitch raucus voice.

(Please note that I took some liberty to fit the rythm I had in mind).

A Walk in the Clouds

by Hugh Morin - Quito, Ecuador, 15/6/07 - Tumbes, Peru, 16/6/07

When I first heard her name

Haven't seen her at all

I watched her coming by

Everything else blurred out

She enterred in the house

My heart went for

For a walk in the clouds

Her name was Imeshi

I met her near the sky

I blame synchronicity

For she enterred my life

I just took her for a walk

I nice walk

A nice walk in the clouds

She told me she was aussie

I thought you're a beauty

Knew her for only a week

We shared a bono and a house

We hiked a volcano

For a long walk

A long walk in the clouds

I was sitting at the bar

She was dancing salsa

I saved her from a weird guy
And felt into her eyes

We left she was laughing

So we just walked

We walked in the clouds

Y yo y ye ye ye

Imeshi ye ye ye yo

Y yo y ye ye ye

Imeshi yeeeee

From you at the fondación

To us climbing that mountain

From you learning spanish

To such an innocent kiss

It could be the altitude

Let's say it is for now

Since my heart runs

Runs into the clouds

Her name was Imeshi

Princess Imeshi

Her skin was color coffee

Her smile got into me

I'll never forget her now

Nor our walks

Our walks in the clouds

Y yo y ye ye ye

Imeshi yeeeee
