    Yes. By far one of the best NZ rock bands i've heard, huge influential talent, world class, definitely missed but the music Weta made, performed and left us is something incredibly special and we will always have, will inspire those lucky enough to find it. Looking forward to Feb release. Thank you Weta/Tokona - RIP e hoa.

    Can you hear your heartbeat?
    Hold the light upon your face
    Plant the seed among us
    Calling on, calling on, calling on, calling on
    Switching off my radio (radio)
    Breathless bliss upon me
    Sleeping would I see some peace?
    In my dreams I'm flying
    Calling on, Calling on, Calling on, Calling on,
    Calling on, Calling on, Calling on, Calling on,
    Calling on, Calling on, Calling on, Calling on,
    Calling on, Calling on, Calling on, Calling on

    Like a falling angel
    Like my paranoia
    Like to screen things over
    Like a smouldering offering
    Like a trying passion
    Like I've fallen over
    Like I'm suffocated...
    So calling on, sending out
    I'm calling on, sending out
    I'm calling on, sending out
    Calling on...
