	Sit quietly with Dystopia in 'The Forest', as the music flows and entwines around the beguiling spoken word vocals of Liz Maw. Shinya's remix spins out on uncluttered dreamlike washes broken by stabs of poetry and a soft tabla rhythm, while the sweet song of New Zealand native birds fills the air.
	CD: the wisdom of insecurity   Label: monkey records Credits: words by liz maw, keyboards by monkey, arranged and produced by shinya
	Story Behind the Song This song was originally a piece of poetry by Liz Maw. She wrote it while walking around the city in the rain. In a city the biggest things around you are manmade. Not so, the weather. It can connect you with the wider environment. The memory of the rain falling reminded Liz of a rainforest and this memory made her glad. So she welcomed the rain and was once again surrounded by the trees and birdsong and the sound of running water. When Shinya and monkey play 'The Forest', they imagine they are there with her too. Lyrics back in the forest i ask nature - why green because that's what colour it is was the answer Tui's simple song sounds green wherever you are Tui and still the forest isn't quiet moving sophisticated greenland I can't hear noise in here 'noise' was invented outside the forest world where walls are built between phenomena that's - the sound that's - the object that's - the feeling this is the tragedy or sacrifice of focus we needed to define this system's parts always this futile quest for understanding our being understands it it just does - green and why the colour wasn't chosen but on go the fantasies of alternatives keep coming 'bad' weather be a rain city instead of a rain forest it'll do this fancy valley
