about

Kimayo's newest single, Around The Sun, is written as a tribute to her late father Charlie. This song reflects her life long journey of loss, healing, and hope. Weaving through the stages of grief and resolving in gratitude, Around The Sun embodies the human experience of eternal love in the face of our mortality.

lyrics

There are nights I wonder
Would you be proud of who I am
And times I wonder
If you and I’d be friends
Still my heart it wonders
Why it had to be this way

In the dark I wonder
Who I’d be if you were here
And parts that wonder
How that time has shaped my years
OoooOoooOooh I’ll never know
But I've been strumming your nylon string to keep you close

You used to meet me in my dreams
Now you don’t visit anymore
Have you forgotten about me
Or do you think I just don’t need you anymore

I piece of me was ripped straight from my chest the day you left
Did you take it from me
So you wouldn’t forget
OooOooOooh
How my love feels

Thank you for teaching me
What life means, to chase my dreams
How to appreciate the everyday
To pave my way
Not sure you’d recognize
The woman I’ve grown to be
But I think you’d like the fire you see
Behind these olive eyes

A piece of me was ripped straight from my chest they day you left
I think you took it from me
So you wouldn’t forget
OooOooOooh
How my love feels
OooOooOooh

I wish you were real again,
Maybe all of this is just pretend
But the world keeps spinning around the sun
OooOooOooh
Around the sun.
