This is a moving love song, originally written for Cali's sister's wedding day.
This unique string quartet accompanied by guitar creates harmony magic and brings to life a ready-made classic wedding song.
lyrics
Starry eyed, you and I
We met, left shoe, right shoe, our shoes
But I wanna tell you, I wanna tell you
That you mean to me, that you mean to me
In the story of our orbiting, in the story of our orbiting
You're on my time track
Now our shoes are hanging in the closet
Awaiting their moment, patiently
Left shoe right shoe, our shoes
But I wanna tell you, but I wanna tell you
That you mean to me, that you mean to me
That you surround my universe
You surround my universe
My sun my universe, my track
My sun my universe, my track
You're my sun, listen
Do you know that I love you? I
You know that I love you?
I love you, you, you, you
You wanna get married?
Now our shoes, still hanging in the closet
So long, 12 years
But i wanna tell you, I wanna tell you
You surround my universe
My sun, my universe, my track
My sun, my universe, my track
You're my sun, listen
Do you know that I love you? I
You know that I love you?
I love you, I love you, you
Do you wanna get married?

String quartet -
Cali's music is crafted piano composition alongside soulful vocals. She describes it as: "If Alanis, Tori Amos & Florence
had a baby that made a soundtrack".
Classically trained opera singer & self taught pianist, she's been making music her entire life, touring the US/UK/Europe, and now settled in the London music scene.
Dreamy instrumental music that at times has the same pastel nostalgia as vaporware in its sprightly keys and big beats. Bandcamp New & Notable Dec 17, 2022
This collaborative album between the South African guitarist and traditional music choir showcases the music of Southern Africa. Bandcamp New & Notable Jun 26, 2020
