We all live in Windsor and, for those of you who care about these things, we don’t mean the Windsor in Australia, nor indeed the two Windsors in Canada or the thirteen Windsors (count ‘em!) in the USA. We are sure these Windsors are fine and dandy but we’ve never seen them so please tell us if we’re missing out all the way out here in Windsor, England.

We are releasing our debut album “Essence” on the wonderful FOD Records later this year and, before that, we have a download/single available called “Fight for What's Right.” Both are produced by the legendary Bob Rose and feature the extended family we mentioned: ex-Blondie bassist Nigel Harrison (co-writer of Union City Blues and One Way Or Another amongst other Blondie gems), Portishead drummer Clive Deamer (who’s also drummed with Robert Plant and Radiohead) and the incredibly talented Dani Robinson who is the official guitarist for The Jimi Hendrix Live Experience.

I'm Okay
The Rua Lyrics

Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴

You move my way
I'm kind emotion
What can I say
My heart beats fast
But I walk so slowly

What can I say
Through all these years

My mind conceed
That I was incomplete

Stand on my own, the life will go on
Where I should be, you don't lead me
I'm okay
I'm okay
Uuuuuuuuu...
Uuuuuuuu...

The time goes fast
You never existed
I lost my way
The time goes fast
Do you never existed
What can I say
Through all these years
My mind conceed
That I was incomplete

Stand on my on, life will go on
Where I should be, you don't lead me
I'm okay
I'm okay

uuuuuuuu

Stand on my on, life will go on
And I'm okay

Where I should be, you don't lead me
I' m okay
