(Guitar instrumental) Shawn Pimental For me, I know, I've joked about this for so many years because all the entities I've worked with and played with, my parents never come and watch because they don't like that kind of music.
So I went out - and my dad's a huge fan of Lehua's and a huge fan of Kawika's - so I was like, ʻOkay, I'm gonna put a band together.’ And now he comes to my gigs.
Performance: Windward Side Meet me on the Windward side my love Where the mountain meets the sea is where I'll be Meet me on the Windward side my love Where the stars are dancing hula for you and me The trade winds always kissing me hello Salt air breeze always makes me whole Waterfalls along the Ko‘olau Reminds me of this place that I call home Meet me on the Windward side my love Where the mountain meets the sea is where I'll be Meet me on the Windward side my love Where the stars are dancing hula for you and me Valley tells of stories long ago Māhealani shines her light i ka pō mālie Manu sings a song that we both know Ke aloha in this place that fills my soul (Guitar instrumental) Been to many cities far from home So many more to see, I don't know Carry her with me along the road My heart will always lead me right back home Meet me on the Windward side my love Where the mountain meets the sea is where I'll be Meet me on the Windward side my love Where the stars are dancing hula for you and me Where the stars are dancing hula for you and me Where the stars are dancing hula for you and me (Guitar instrumental)
