He said Israel Kamakawiwo'ole, a Hawaiian singer who sang “Somewhere over the Rainbow,” had an album in 1993 called “Facing Future.” Despite the title of the album, the cover is of Kamakawiwo'ole with his back towards the camera. Phung said in one of his Hawaiian history classes, he was taught a Hawaiian proverb that he believes inspired the album cover. “We can only move into the future, by looking to the past.”
