about

In the Navajo Language -- there is no word for radio. They call it "The Air That Talks." Arigon learned of radio station KTNN-AM through an article in USA TODAY. "Totally blew my mind that they broadcast the Phoenix Suns' basketball games in Navajo," said Arigon. This audio tribute also extends to the network of Native American radio stations across the US and Canada that help keep Native folks enlightened, entertained and informed.

lyrics

In the air that talks
In the air that speaks
Words without moving lips in the night

Words that cut the air
Words that slice the sky
Words are moving fast through the night

CHORUS
With your voice so clear
Will you find me here?
Oh, I need to hear your voice
In the air

Whispers I can hear
Whispers I can feel
Your words touching me in the night

You're connecting me
You're protecting me
Now I feel part of the night

CHORUS
With your voice so clear
Will you find me here?
Oh, I need to hear your voice
In the air

Power me up
No static in the air
Talking my language -- so I care

CHORUS
With your voice so clear
Will you find me here?
Oh, I need to hear your voice
In the air
