It's been a minute… well lots of minutes. We took a little break but now we are back on track and writing and working in the studio again.
My Little Boat is a true story of how a refugee named Assef left his home due to war and prejudice. Assef’s story traces a journey over land and sea, his rejection of citizenship everywhere he turned, and finally, his sad journey back to his homeland, starving, a broken man.

My Little Boat
I am on my way home
Through the dark, hope marks my road
Years of waiting
Over sea and stone I’ve carried this load
Chorus
My little boat sailed a sea of dreams
Into shadow where my heart would grieve
I am barely breathing
For deep in my heart lies a story untold
It whispers memories
As I walk in silence on my own
Chorus
Still you deny me
Like I’m skin and bone left to roam
Why this sorrow
Where is the light without home
Chorus
