Good Feeling
Album artwork inspired by Home.
For KAINA’s sophomore album, It Was A Home, we wanted the vinyl to feel warm and fuzzy. The concept behind the design was a beloved album that was your moms in the 70’s that she let you borrow as a kid and you never gave it back. You covered it in your favorite stickers, tore the edges, listened on repeat. Every time you listen to it, it reminds you of your childhood home.

It Was A Home
I used to live in a little room
In the middle, house with a crooked view
I used to walk from my neighbors house
Up the broken stairs of blue
Good Feeling
ft. Sen Morimoto
Don't know what it is about today
Maybe I'm catching a lucky break
I could wish on a star every night
But sometimes I get a good feeling
Sometimes I get a good feeling
Sweetness
Tenderness is calling my name
To have a place I rest my head
Late at night when I'm tired of the day
Do it all again tomorrow
But at least while I wait
I could give a little sweetness
In My Mind
It's too easy
Feeling left behind
Without a reason
It's made up in my mind
Ultraviolet
ft. Sleater-Kinney
You don't see how I see everything in
You could be unaware, undecided 'til that
Ultraviolet shine down from the sun
Undivided, got me fighting with the
Lights on
Blue
ft. Helado Negro
Blue, so blue
In the morning, we don't see
Blue, so blue
Winter, we go back to sleep
Friend of Mine
I would like to give myself
As much as I give everyone else
Think twice, get my energy right
'Cause I'm a friend of mine
