Song Meaning of “Inu I Ka Wai” by Patrick Landeza
Inu I Ka Wai is a beautiful and moving instrumental composition depicting the struggles and longing of a Hawaiian fisherman. The title of the piece, literally translated as “I Drink the Water” in Hawaiian, speaks to the desperation of the fisherman in an increasingly changing world. Landeza’s thoughtful and emotive guitar work paints a picture of the fisherman’s long and lonely journey, out into the unknown waters in search of a prosperous and generous catch.
This song can also be seen as a metaphor for the hard-fought struggles that life often throws our way. Through his music, Landeza is conveying the notion that even in the hardest of times, we must courageously remain determined and press on. In the waters of life, we must courageously and faithfully take a sip, trusting that God is there with us every step of the way.
