    Story Behind the Song
    Jade was inspired by Wayson Choy’s novel, The Jade Peony set in Vancouver. I wrote it in an afternoon drawing parralelles to my own life.We recorded it over several hours in a few days bringing in the wild cellist to add his flavour.

    Lyrics
    JADE
    For her Monkey King
    She would dance and sing
    Put on the show
    He'd hobble with his canes
    They would play her games
    A bandit's love grows

    More than just a girl
    He would rule her world
    She waited there
    But old man is a hurry
    Left with bones to bury
    Her heart was breaking

    Jade
    Washes clean
    Hangs in the sky
    Jade peony won't die
    Jade
    Like oceans in the sun
    Forever

    Fighter second son
    Sole adopted one
    The loyal boy
    Came from tragedy
    Bannished memory
    Kept fading slowly

    Starcrossed and attuned
    Learned he was the moon
    His idol sun
    Hiding never speak
    Or be found he's weak
    His longing burning

    Jade
    Washes clean
    Hangs in the sky
    Jade peony won't die
    Jade
    Like oceans in the sun
    Forever

    When the baby came
    Jealous eyes were tamed
    When ill lungs cried
    Coddled and caressed
    Grew up and impressed
    The neighbour's maiden

    Witness to her risk
    Mortal lover's kiss
    He'd never tell
    She loved the enemy
    Blood stained misery
    As she lay dying

    Jade
    Washes clean
    Hangs in the sky
    Jade peony won't die
    Jade
    Like oceans in the sun
    Forever.......
