STAN WALKER | TE AROHANUI
Stan Walker, known for his neck tatts and his magnificent voice, won Australian Idol. They have ever since carved a career amongst their roots of Maori culture. They are known for their song 'Black Box' which is a song about the emotional aftermath of a failed relationship using the metaphor of a flying planes flight recorder (a Black Box) to represent truth, secrets and memories that remain. It emphasizes that despite a breakup, the emotions and events are permanently stored, holding the truth of what happened.
Sending out a mayday, we’re going down
The thing we could've done would've turned it round
Everything we had, scattered everywhere
Searching through the wreckage of a love affair
[Pre-Chorus]
You got something to say?
Say it to me, not everyone else
You say that I’m to blame
My words are in vain, you're fooling yourself
[Chorus]
There’s a little black box, yeah
Somewhere in the ocean
Holding all the truth about us (Hey, hey)
It’s a little black box
A record of emotion
Everything that ever was (Hey, hey)
You may deny it, deny it
But when I find it, find it
I’m gonna play it aloud to the world (I remember it all)
A little black box, yeah (I remember it all)
A little black box, yeah
[Verse 2]
There's a lot of pressure when you get deep
You left me on my own at six hundred feet
I was looking 'round for a little help
But everyone was looking out for themselves
You got something to say?
Say it to me, not everyone else (Oh)
You say that I’m to blame
My words are in vain, you're fooling yourself
[Chorus]
There’s a little black box, yeah
Somewhere in the ocean
Holding all the truth about us (Hey, hey)
It’s a little black box
A record of emotion
Everything that ever was (Hey, hey)
You may deny it, deny it
But when I find it, find it
I’m gonna play it aloud to the world (I remember it all)
A little black box, yeah (I remember it all)
A little black box, yeah
[Bridge]
You can’t stop a true survivor
You’ll discover that all on your own
'Cause I’m a true survivor
And I’ll be there after you’re gone
Long after you’re gone
Long after you’re gone
There’s a little black box, yeah
Somewhere in the ocean
Holding all the truth about us (Holding all the truth about us) (Hey, hey)
It’s a little black box
A record of emotion
Everything there ever was (Ever was) (Hey, hey)
You may deny it, deny it
But when I find it, find it
I’m gonna play it aloud to the world (I remember it all)
A little black box, yeah (Woah) (I remember it all)
It's a little black box, yeah (Yeah)
[Outro]
Little black box
Little black box
