I was first turned on to Serena Ryder’s music when her album “Harmony” was released and I heard the initial single, “Stompa.”  When I heard “Circle of the Sun” on Hawaii Five-O, I was instantly hooked after a few measures and couldn’t reach for my phone to Shazam it quick enough. It’s one of those acoustic jammers that makes you want to grab the person next to you at the beach bar, get up and dance like no one’s watching.

“Let’s get away from who we think we are
And the things we cannot do
Look into the mirror and pretend you’re me
And I’ll pretend I am you

Take a little sunshine
Give a little teardrop
Everybody needs to love someone
Even in the silence
You can listen to the rhythm
And have a little dance around the circle of the sun

Even in the silence (Even in the silence)
You can listen to the rhythm (Listen to the rhythm)
Have a little dance around the circle of the sun

Dance around the circle of
Dance around the circle of
Dance around the circle of the sun

We’ve already got what we’ve been looking for
Yeah, we’ve already won the race
Don’t overrate it, overcomplicate it
There’s never been a better way

Take a little sunshine (Take a little sunshine)
Give a little teardrop (Give a little teardrop)
Everybody needs to love someone
Even in the silence (Even in the silence)
You can listen to the rhythm (You can listen to the rhythm)
And have a little dance around the circle of the sun

Light a fire when the sun goes down
Light a fire to see
Don’t wait ’til the light goes out
Don’t wait for me

Even in the silence (Even in the silence)
You can listen to the rhythm (Listen to the rhythm)
And have a little dance around the circle of the sun

Dance around the circle of
Dance around the circle of
Dance around the circle of the sun
Dance around the circle of
Dance around the circle of
Dance around the circle of the sun

Let’s get away from who we think we are
And the things we cannot do

Even in the silence
(Dance around the circle of)
Even in the silence
(Dance around the circle of)
Even in the silence
(Dance around the circle of the sun)
Even in the silence, silence

Take a little sunshine
(Dance around the circle of)
Give a little teardrop
Everybody needs to love someone
(Dance around the circle of)
Even in the silence
(Dance around the circle of)
You can listen to the rhythm
And have a little dance around the circle of the sun

Take a little sunshine
(Dance around the circle of)
Give a little teardrop
Everybody needs to love someone
(Dance around the circle of)
Even in the silence
(Dance around the circle of)
You can listen to the rhythm
And have a little dance around the circle of the sun”
