A self-taught guitarist and song writer, Anuhea began showcasing her talents while boarding at Kamehameha Schools in Honolulu. ''I started writing songs... I was discovering my talent and passion while discovering how to deal with emotions every teenager has to go through." Anuhea excelled in the spotlight. She was the head anchor for the daily campus-wide news, hosted a variety of TV shows for OCI6, and acted in school musicals.
After attending film school in Orange County for a year, Anuhea realized music was more her calling. She returned to the islands and immediately got into the scene, performing at local coffee shops which turned into paid restaurant gigs. Anuhea's skills improved with every gig, and successes came steadily and deservedly. She took the initiative to market herself as a musician, and until this point has acted as her own manager, booking agent, and music producer and distributor. She took recordings from a live taping for a public radio station and turned them into her 22-track demo CD "Rough Cuts" which she sells "out of her trunk" and through her MySpace page to fans across the globe.
After years of graciously turning down offers from local labels, Anuhea decided to sign with indie music label OneHawaii Music LLC. Co-founded by former Atlantic Records rep, Warren Wyatt and her aunty Nalani of Na Leo Pilimehana, OneHawaii is poised to get Anuhea heard, with major distribution through Koch Entertainment. In 2009, she released her self-titled debut album.
The future is bright for this Maui songbird. Anuhea's determination, passion, optimism and raw talent are the foundations for the success that is to come. "I just feel lucky that I've found my dream and am able to pursue it... My main goal as a music-maker is to help people find theirs, whatever it may be."
Here I Go Again
Anuhea Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
Stepping down I seem taller
Been here before, but not so sure
If I should open up that other door
World in my hands to make it smaller
Boy I got it pretty nice, why let it go so easy
Comfort's first to sacrifice, I grow from the pain within me
Here I go here I go here I go again
Here I go here I go here I go again
Here I go here I go here I go again
Breaking it down to build it up all over again, yeah
Nice to meet you, you like my style
I'm digging your vibes, eyes body and smile
I'm thinking me and you should chill out for awhile
Running faster than my feet can go
Its like you're all I'd ever known
Fall apart to realize I'm all alone
It's my tendency to fall in and out of everything
A waste of my energy is all it ends up being for me
Why do I do this, why do I do this to me?
Here I go here I go here I go again
Here I go here I go here I go again
Here I go here I go here I go again
Running away to say hello all over again
I have to be always true to me
Can't have pleasure without some pain
Nothing grows without sun and rain
It's not so easy but its where I want to be
And find serenity
Here I go here I go here I go again
Here I go here I go here I go again
Here I go here I go here I go again
Breaking it down to build it up all over again, yeah
Here I go here I go here I go
Yeah
The song "Here I Go Again" by Anuhea is about taking risks and stepping out of one's comfort zone, even if it means experiencing pain or uncertainty. The first verse implies that the singer has been in a similar situation before, but is hesitant about taking the next step as there is no guarantee of success. The line "world in my hands to make it smaller" suggests that the singer is confident in their ability to handle challenges.
The chorus repeats the phrase "here I go again", emphasizing the idea of taking action and trying again despite past failures or setbacks. The second verse introduces a new character who is interested in the singer, but the fear of getting hurt again causes her to question whether it's worth pursuing the relationship. The line "fall apart to realize I'm all alone" suggests that the singer's tendency to push people away has left her feeling isolated.
The bridge acknowledges the difficulties of making changes and experiencing pain, but ultimately reminds the singer of the importance of authenticity and growth. The line "can't have pleasure without some pain, nothing grows without sun and rain" reinforces the idea that some discomfort is necessary for personal development.
Overall, "Here I Go Again" is a song that encourages bravery and perseverance, even in the face of uncertainty or discomfort.

Can't have pleasure without some pain
Life has its ups and downs, and it's important to accept the hardships that come with the good times
Nothing grows without sun and rain
Just like plants need both sun and rain to grow, I need both good and bad experiences to develop and learn
It's not so easy but its where I want to be
Although it's difficult, dealing with my struggles is ultimately where I want to be
And find serenity
Through facing my hardships, I hope to find peace and calmness in my life
Here I go here I go here I go
I am ready to face my obstacles once again
