about

DONATE & DOWNLOAD - Nepal earthquake relief fundraiser.

Many of my songs have been inspired by the ancient land of Nepal. It is a magical place filled with inner and outer beauty, and a people who live so close to spirit.

During my first trip there, I wrote a song called "Kathmandu" and recorded it on my laptop. It was a fun song which I shared with only close friends and family. I was never planning on releasing it publicly.

However, when we heard about the earthquake in Nepal this past year, and of all the devastation it had caused in the city and surrounding villages, we were heart broken. We knew we needed to do something. Releasing the song, and offering people a way to help, seemed like the most natural thing. This song carries all those sweet memories of my first journey there ... eating a bunch of rice and dhal, riding through the Kathmandu alleyways, watching the sunrise over the Himalayas, the smiles and hearts of the Nepali people ... all those things are so fresh in my mind. I hope this song brings you the same joy that it brings to me.

Every download donation will go to our friends at Himalayan Quests, in partnership with the 501(c)(3) the GVN Foundation, in Kathmandu, Nepal . These amazing folks are working to rebuild schools, construct health posts, and deliver critical aid to rural villages that were devastated in the recent earthquake in Nepal, which killed over 10,000 people. With the recent border blockades in Nepal, which have crippled the country, supplies and aid are even more desperately needed. With your generous support, Himalayan Quests will be able to continue and expand their work in remote areas, giving the gifts of shelter, education, health care and more.

To see the impact that your donation is making, stay updated with the Himalayan Quests blog at: himalayanquests.com/nepalearthquakerelief/
For more information on their 501(c)(3) partner, head over to: www.globalvolunteernetwork.org

We thank you from the bottom of our hearts for your support, as Nepal is a place that is very dear to our hearts.

lyrics

KATHMANDU - Lyrics

I don't want to see you cry
Why are you so sad
Come on baby dry your eyes
Let's hop in a cab

What to do in Kathmandu
What to do in Kathmandu
What to do in Kathmandu with you

Come on baby we got time
Where you want to go
We could go outside the lines
Or we could just stay home

We could walk down to Boudha
Or I could stay here and hold you
So much that I want to show you
Watch it all unfold you

'Cause it's here we build our song
On these mountains play it all night long
Our love is oh so young
All is open we forever run

'Cause in the emerald valley
The points no longer tally
We could go hang out with babas
or sit with tibetan lamas
We could run to Pashupati
Pray to Dakshina Kali
Maybe do a couple koras
And then run down to the border
Or just hang out with Amma
Watch her dance around others
As we're singing songs of love about our sisters and our brothers
Or eat dal bhat for hours it's 24 hour power
Then watch the sun rise upon the himalayan towers
We could go back to the start
We could flow with the heart
We could roam never apart
I say
