Ruban Nielson composed this song inspired by his mother who left her hometown in Hawaii along with her uncle, the song is written from the uncle's point of view and about no one understanding why someone would want to run away from Hawaii, a place considered a paradise Paradises, like perfection, are unattainable, they only exist in concept in our mind.

The guitar is good but the arrangement is what makes UMO. Jake Portrait is the dark horse, his baselines are the hope balances the urgency and despair of Ruban's vocal and guitars. This song is easily top 5 best song of 2023 that nobody knows about.

Because it's confessing to the person you love that you've known for awhile and the person doesn't feel the same

Torn between the happiness of getting to hear some of your new music & being decimated by that absolute art piece of a video. You're pullin' at me from both sides here

Heard it today fell in love

The cinematography of this music video is beyond a lot of that is already out there. Ruben, your music and flow and the way you incorporate complicated feelings into a groove will always be impressive to me. Please keep making records and creating ❤ forever a fan, Steph

I haven't had an emotional reaction to music in a long time. This album changed that.

the 'hey' is so good

I love Ruben's guitar playing, always smooth.

as soon as i heard this song i have to learn it on guitar, its soo beautiful, probably one of my all time favorite songs.

The creators of that video from story board through to cinematography and end production! beautiful work! and a perfect match for another gem from Ruban. And on that note - some artists do their best in the early stages of their working life….but the true ones produce consistently high quality work, Ruban belongs in the latter camp and this album is proof. Thanks for the music Mr Nielson 🙏

Such a beautiful performance by Mia! It makes me wonder how life can turn from beautiful to melancholic in the blink of an eye. Thanks for sharing this beautiful music video and this insane artist that is Mia with the world! 🥰🥰🥰

Both girls are Layla, one's trapped in work and responsibility and the other her free spirit, who gets addressed and drowned out, because it's dangerous to be human.
