Brother Nomad’s Pacific Bad Boy is a long forgotten album that was a minor classic of which the music industry overlooked. The calmness of Hawaiian music is what this album is filled with. Folk music meets world music on Pacific Bad Boy. 35% of this album is filled with romantic love songs. Around 14% of this album is filled with motivational songs filled with inspiration to uplift and empower us.
Honestly Brother Nomad should received the amount of international fame IZ and Steve Maii had received. His songs are just as good if not better than Steve Maii’s. Brother Nomad’s songs are just as good as songs from famous Hawaiian singer IZ.
Coconut Girl is a fruity smooth Hawaiian love song about someone who Brother Nomad’s girl from him. This love song is very goofy with a fun Hawaiian punch and a twist of reggae sound.
Someone took Brother Nomad’s girl from the tropical island of Hawaii to the Hollywood, California where all the money is. Now she is a coconut girl in a top dollar high fashion world. Many fans have got her pin-up poster in their bedroom.
Brother Nomad himself wants to go to Hollywood so he can be at her house instead of far away from her. He would rather be with her all night.
Savannah Woman is about a woman who is a beach dweller. In this song, Brother Nomad finds out what type of person the Savannah woman really is. The song has a similar vibe as New Bohemians - Air of December due to its cold harsh vibe.
This Savannah woman is dressed in white. She pulls out her gin and tonics. Winds from Hawaii and the Brazilian winds blow in the warm air. Brother Nomad lets her know, “Savannah woman, I would never leave you so unkind.” However she left him behind. Although she seemed snow white with desire, in reality she was cold and distant as the moon. This Savannah woman was a really unkind person.
The song mind drive teaches people how to use their minds and learning to live. This song is another of those inspirational songs on this album such as Hastala and I Am Mountain.
In life, everyone wants to feel better and keep it all together. You do what you do in order to flow with the groove. Learning to live, to give to others, and to hold on is what people do in life. That is how people keep it all together.
The following lyrics teach us how to use our minds.: “Move on down the line/use your mind/Move on down the line/use your mind”
Eyes is a song that teaches us to not lose our minds and to open up our eyes.
This man has been talking up the town with his false lies and people don’t like it. He has been talking down on things he has no knowledge of. Brother Nomad thinks someone ought to take the time to set him straight and tell him he’s not in line with his behavior. He better wake up and open his eyes.
This woman has been talking around her friends just to please her mind. She’s a teaser. She’s a big gossiper. Yet everyone knows her stories go. Brother Nomad thinks someone ought to take the time to set her straight and tell her she’s not in line with her behavior. She better wake up and open his eyes.
Open up your eyes. Someone really cares about you.
Brother Nomad wishes he had the time to sympathize her mind. He also wishes he had had the time to sympathize with her for her well being. Brother Nomad is aware that she does not know how to act and she does not know where she is at.
I Am Mountain is a motivational song which inspires you to reach your goals. How high can you get? As far as you can push yourself. You can do it. Do you need a helping hand to realize where you stand in life? Does life really need a bridge? If you want to reach your goals, just go find you soul.
The song Hastala teaches us sometimes doing things right means having to endure pain and to search for freedom in our minds. When you turn darkness into light and you’re not afraid to do it right, That’s the time you know you opened your eyes. Only good will come out when we learn to change.
I rate this album, 4/5****.
