The whistling song is called Sara. Download.

You will pull strange gifts from the heart of the trees, oh
Unforgotten love not forgotten peace, oh no
Will you drag me into the heart of the boiling sea?
You can soothe my mind with your silence,
Oh Sara, I hear you calling me

Sara, wake me up when you're home
Ah, Sara, wake me up when you're home
Sara, wake me up when you're home
Ah, Sara, wake me up when you're home

You're a golden beam breaking into the ocean deep
On a single breathe to be lead to escape, no
Now you cast your light and exposing the same colors, oh
You consume my mind into silence,
Oh, Sara, I hear you calling me

Sara, wake me up when you're home
Ah, Sara, wake me up when you're home
Sara, wake me up when you're home
Ah, Sara, wake me up when you're home
