2. Pine have released one EP, Speeding (2001) and two albums, Longplayer (2002) and Akira Sunrise (2004) and most recently the mini-album Twelve Hour Collision (2007)
Pine will already be known to many New Zealanders through their first EP Speeding (2001) and debut album Longplayer (2002). These yielded the singles (and some videos) for ‘Speeding’, ‘Make Way for the King’, ‘Beaten Again’, ‘Cried All Night’ and ‘Days on End’, all of which received considerable airing on B-net and ChannelZ radio, as well as C4 and Juice TV. Many favorable reviews were written on these releases and the band toured up and down the country – sometimes in small bright orange 1970s ford escort. In the northern summer of 2003 Pine headed to London and New York to play five shows – including Summerstage in Central Park and the infamous CBGBs.
Early on it was decided that album number two, Akira Sunrise , should continue down the path of DIY, home recording teko-soundfoolery. A perfect space in the middle of Christchurch city was soon located: polished floors, brick walls and a studio full of speaker bins – including flashing lights and interesting dials. It all seemed too good to be true. And it was. Unbeknown to Pine the new studio shared space with a death metal band 2 doors down, a tone-deaf trumpet beginner next door and the 9 - 5ers of the city businesses below. This proved problematic. The low-decibel (but high-quality) Pine had to radically re-organise recording schedules. Much of the album was recorded between 6am and 9am as the city woke up...the biggest hurdle was the sound of street sweepers and the quality of the coffee.
Hoarding up on hefty smelling mixers and a flashy laptop, Akira Sunrise was recorded by Pine. This was an intensive process with each month causing a further delay, some fine-tuning and a new song or two. A summer album was always promised - it just ended up being one summer later than planned. The recording was interspersed with a number of journeys north to Platform Studios. Here the album was finally mixed and mastered by studio whizz Dale Cotton (HDU, Conray, Sleepers Union, Mestar and others)
‘Akira Sunrise’ retains much of the low-key chime and melodic charm of the bands previous releases, but there are also some new and additional sounds. These include a more fuzzed up hypnotic bass, loops, shimmering guitars and even a few songs longer than the previously favored two-minute pop snapshot.

Pine Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
Mommy told me something
A little kid should know
It's all about the devil
And I learned to hate him so
She said he causes trouble when you let him in your room
He'll never ever leave you if your heart is filled with gloom
Chorus:
Face it with a grin
Smilers never lose
And Frowners never win
So let the sun shine in
Face it with a grin
Open up your heart and let the sun shine in
When you are unhappy
The devil wears a grin
But oh he starts to run in
When the light comes prowling in
I know he'll be unhappy
Cause I'll never wear a frown
Maybe if we keep on smiling
He'll get tired of hanging 'round
If I forget to say my prayers
The devil jumps with glee
But he feels so awful awful
When he sees me on my knees
So if you feel of trouble
And you never seem to move
Just open up your heart and let the sun shine in
(Chorus)
Suuuuun Shiiiiiine iiiiiin
Suuuuun Shiiiiiine iiiiiin
Mommy told me someting
A little kid should know
It's all about the devil
And i learned to hate him so
If I forget to say my prayers
The devil jumps with glee
But he feels so awful awful
When he sees me on my knees
So if you feel of trouble
And you never seem to move
Just open up your heart and let the sun shine in
(Chorus)
The song "Sugar" by Pine featuring Lizzy Pattinson speaks about the power of positivity and the ability to overcome negative emotions and thoughts with a bright outlook. The opening verse talks about how the singer's mother taught them about the devil and how he brings trouble and gloom. The chorus is an upbeat reminder to face the world with a smile as those who smile never lose, and those who frown never win. The second verse talks about how the devil wears a grin when we are unhappy, but he runs away when we let the light into our lives. The verse highlights the power of positivity, and how it repels negativity.
The song's lyrics emphasize how a positive attitude can change one's outlook on life. Positive thinking not only helps combat negative thoughts and feelings, but it also impacts the world. When people has a positive attitude, they radiate sunshine, and this spreads to the people around them. The song promotes positivity and highlights that it's possible to let go of negative emotions and thoughts quickly.
Finally, the song encourages people to continue with their prayers and meditation, which can assist people in managing their negative emotions and feelings positively.

During times of sadness
The devil wears a grin
The devil is happy to see you sad
But oh he starts to run in
However, he begins to flee
When the light comes prowling in
When positivity and happiness enter your life
I know he'll be unhappy
The devil will be unhappy
Cause I'll never wear a frown
Because I will always have a positive outlook
Maybe if we keep on smiling
Perhaps if we continue to be happy
He'll get tired of hanging 'round
The devil will eventually grow tired of trying to bring you down
If I forget to say my prayers
If I neglect my religious obligations
The devil jumps with glee
The devil is happy to see me fail
But he feels so awful awful
However, he feels terrible
When he sees me on my knees
When I am in prayer
So if you feel of trouble
If you are struggling
And you never seem to move
If you feel stuck
Just open up your heart and let the sun shine in
Allow positivity into your life

But he feels so awful awful
However, he feels terrible
When he sees me on my knees
When I am praying
So if you feel of trouble
If you are struggling
And you never seem to move
If it feels like you cannot progress
Just open up your heart and let the sun shine in
Allow positivity into your life

Family from Eureka CA years ago harvested what must have been Sugar Pine Cones. It was great to identify and learn about them! Thank you!
@johnwebb6288
I really like your channel. Don't change anything, you're doing a fine job as-is. This channel has become a favorite of mine.
Thanks for the great content!
@ronharrington228
I don't know if I was the only one who asked for this but thank you for doing it!!! Your explanation about the difference between fir and pine needles was interesting... I don't know why I hadn't thought to look for those differences... I hadn't realized how much difference there was in bark texture... Thanks again for putting this together!
@WilsonForestLands
It was you and I think one other. I appreciate the suggestions, I don’t always know what people find interesting.
@triphopchill
Beautiful forest! This was an excellent video about te different types of conifers on youre property, plus a lot of other information about the forest ecosystem. Thank you! We want to se more of these kinds of episodes. Best wishes from a viewer from Romania!
@WilsonForestLands
Thank you for the comment, fun to know someone is watching from Romania. These type of videos usually don’t get as many views on my channel but I would like to do more of them. Thank you for the suggestion and encouragement.
@charliefryer5184
I'm seeing this vid 8 mos after you posted. I would enjoy any walk in the wood you wish to take us along, teaching is good I need to learn things or I'll shrivel up sooner than I need to. We have whats called Red Cedar here in the NE flat land, we're only 1300 ish feet above sea level. I would like to learn your take on Cedar trees, I would find that interesting - love your sense of humor and sarcasm. I'm working my way through your catalog of videos and glad to be here.
Wilson you to you, what ever you find interesting seems to interest us and thats how it should be. Rock on buddy.

Talking about the size of the Sugar pine cones -- do you know the story of the 19thC. Naturalist/Botanist David Douglas ("Douglas-fir", et al.) When in SW Oregon, (1820's - 30's) was attempting to retrieve some of the cones for study, but they being 150' up, he could not reach them. So he began trying to shoot them from the overhead branches with his rifle, which in turn attracted some of the First Nations inhabitants... Good story.
@WilsonForestLands
I didn’t know that story. I will look it up and see if I can find it.
@lpeterman
@@WilsonForestLands Just Bing or Google "David Douglas shooting Sugar pine cones", or something similar.
