about
Hilo-based producer David Williamson and alt-soul singer Sonni Shine have collaborated on a soulful, thoughtful new single, “Seeds Will Grow.” The single will be released digitally on all streaming platforms on Friday, April 15.
This is the first collaboration between the two, who met through mutual artist-friends on O’ahu and decided to work together on a song. After sending demos back and forth, they settled on an R&B flavored track that Williamson had written on guitar. Shine assembled the lyrics from a poem she wrote, and built the song starting from the chorus: “like ripened fruit/falls from a tree/you and me, we fall gracefully/our seeds will grow/grow on after us/love is never forgotten.”
Echoes of jazz and R&B can be heard on “Seeds Will Grow.” It’s a song about the legacy of love and the ripple effect that love between two people can have throughout lifetimes. Williamson and Shine share a lot of the same influences, which made the collaboration easy and fluid. Asha Azama of Aguamelon is also featured here; rounding out the song with atmospheric piano and synth sounds.

lyrics
I love you beyond space and time
Outside of reason
Inside a rhyme
And I would not change a thing
But maybe the passing of time
Like ripened fruit
Falls from a tree
You and me we fall gracefully
Our seeds will grow
Grow on after us
Love is never forgotten
We twist our toes, our hands, our minds
We thread together
Like two vines
We interlock our minds and stay,
We breathe together through the day
We breathe together, we feel, we know
We create something we both can grow
A legacy built for you and me
Let's be free baby let's be easy
And when I see
The future
I see lifetimes and lifelines
And when I see
The future
I see your eyes shine through their lives
And when I see
The future
I see pride and trust living on through us...
Like ripened fruit
Falls from a tree
You and me we fall gracefully
Our seeds will grow
Grow on after us
Love is never forgotten
Like ripened fruit
Falls from a tree
You and me we fall gracefully
Our seeds will grow
Grow on after us
Love is never forgotten
Outside of reason
Inside a rhyme
And I would not change a thing
But maybe the passing of time
Like ripened fruit
Falls from a tree
You and me we fall gracefully
Our seeds will grow
Grow on after us
Love is never forgotten
We twist our toes, our hands, our minds
We thread together
Like two vines
We interlock our minds and stay,
We breathe together through the day
We breathe together, we feel, we know
We create something we both can grow
A legacy built for you and me
Let's be free baby let's be easy
And when I see
The future
I see lifetimes and lifelines
And when I see
The future
I see your eyes shine through their lives
And when I see
The future
I see pride and trust living on through us...
Like ripened fruit
Falls from a tree
You and me we fall gracefully
Our seeds will grow
Grow on after us
Love is never forgotten
Like ripened fruit
Falls from a tree
You and me we fall gracefully
Our seeds will grow
Grow on after us
Love is never forgotten
