but there is 10,000 miles of water
between you and me in Hawaii.
I'd love to meet you for dinner half way
but there's nothing half way between you
and me in Hawaii.
Stay put, I'm coming to get you.
I've got a job to accomplish.
I will float on my raft for you.
You live by the ocean
and it's funny but I live by the same ocean
but I can't even see Hawaii.
There's a girl in the picture.
Her name is Pacific Ocean and
she has come between you,
me and Hawaii.
Stay put, I'm coming to get you.
I've got a job to accomplish.
I will float on my raft for you
Matson Belle is an award-winning pop/electronic band based out of Austin, Texas. Their sound blends electronic beats with congas, string instruments with etherial guitar riffs, and Jourdanson’s powerful vocals.
Kayt Jourdanson, the lead singer, songwriter, lyricist and founder of Matson Belle, moved to Los Angeles originally to pursue an acting career. Just months after arriving in LA, Kayt appeared on the hit television shows Beverly Hills 90210, Wings and Seventh Heaven and eventually won the lead role in the feature film Hangman which appeared on Showtime.
Through her acting coach, Jourdanson met renowned music producer Pete Snell and her musical interests took off - so she went on a game show and won $2500 to finance her first demo CD. In between running the Los Angeles Marathon and being selected as a finalist on the reality television show "Survivor", Jourdanson performed at the top venues in LA and quickly rose to the top of the LA music scene.
Jourdanson moved to Austin in 2002 and began searching for the right people, both musically and professionally, to join forces with. She put together a musical collaboration of violins, cello, world beat percussion, electronics and keyboards called Matson Belle.
Their debut album, Goodbye Juggernaut, was released in 2004. That year Matson Belle won the Austin Music Award for Best Electronic Band and received recognition for Album of the Year, Song of the Year and Songwriter of the Year along with a placement of their song "Splendid" on the DVD release of the hit television show "Party of Five". Their second album, Architecture, was released in 2011.

This has more Hooverphonic vibes to me 😌
with RP, we have the chance, here in France, to discover "artists" and "songs" we can't listen to in France.
Thanks, dear music lovers , and excuse me for my bad english !
Your English is better than most of the people here.
Including me.
Interesting, I like the song, never heard of her before, then I read this quote about her:
" In addition to music, Belle was a finalist on the popular TV show Survivor and has starred in the feature film Hangman (after being discovered by the film's director at a coffee shop)."
The very next song on the playlist today is "Crystals" by Of Monsters and Men - now that's how to do it!

Would be so much better if she learned not to breathe heavily every three words
Funny -- for me that's an important part of the sound, makes it somehow closer and more intimate, and I really like that.
This song tingles my insides most pleasantly...
This happens a lot and makes me realize how Spotify is actually reducing the amount of music available to us.
Long Live RP

A little more research (following your link) led me to this name:
Kayt Jourdanson
Who may or may not be the same person as Kat Edorsson (survivor contestant).
...and Matson Belle is actually the band name much like Alice Cooper or Jethro Tull.
