OOH - LAH - KA - KOH.

After all these years I finally discover what they were singing.

Now if I only knew what it meant...

[joshdavidwhitmore]

How is it possible that I love you and your music more now than when I heard it back in the 90s? You're just amazing.

[macammana]

Keren banget lagunya.bring me the 90s.thank you sophie

[dju]

Love the unplugged version of this song and love your paintings too! J'aime votre peintures du style "Monet"🌌

[lylesylliboy]

I don't think that it matters what people hear. I understand people interpreting "when I get home", or if it's an inside nickname or sound that references her to her father. Who am I to correct it? In any interpretation (I know the proper lyrics because Sophie ACTUALLY put up), it's still a beautiful dream no matter HOW you translate it. Thank you Sophie for posting. I bought a CD album in the 90s.one of the album jackets was almost a book! (The album cover of you sipping a refreshing drink with a sun hat on whilst on a beach somewhere).

Sophie hello from UK, been a listener of this since the day it was released, in fact since "damn I wish I was your lover' and one day it'll be my dream to see you perform live! When you was in UK I simply couldn't see you. Sending warm seasons greetings and lots of love for 2020, ps do you still work with the beach turtles conservation! Till we meet thanks for your music

[daveross]

Thank you so much for doing this. I would love to hear your re-interpretation of the entire Whaler album, now all these years later. Thank you for the years of art and light.
