I first heard this Hawaiian version of this song last year (2017) in Oahu Hawaii on our 5th wedding anniversary trip. It was my first time in Hawaii, and the maintanence men at our hotel had this version of this song on their phones and they were singing along to this song. I went up to them and asked them what is this song, and they told me. Now when I hear this version, it takes me right back to our special trip to Hawaii.
I haven’t heard this song in ages. My mom and dad would dance to this song when i was a kid. They divorced when i was young and me and my mom moved to the mainland. This song reminds me of the few years I had with a family, even all these years later still some of the best memories i’ve ever had.
I agree this is the best version ever. No can top this song. I've listened to others but....this group does it the best. Considering I"m not one that listens to Local Hawaiian music. This group s music has changed my view on Local Hawaiian music. I love it!! Thank you
Beautiful and thank you very much ... for returning me in my heart and thoughts to Puna district A place that defined me as the man I am today In many ways... I will always run in the cors above kapapala in Kau with my brahdahs and nephew guys... My best boy Bo-Jack running in front of us. Sitting in the park in Pahoa playing guitar with my friend Ernie cruz guys on Saturday morning Watching my girls dance hula in the living room by lantern light Glowing with smiles for being the center of attention Too many beautiful things to keep in ones heart and not feel honored by it
I trip out every time I hear the Tracy Chapman version because the first 100 times I've heard this song was by Ale'a. I may be a bit biased but I like this version better.
Same! I was looking up Tracy Chapman for a different song and this title showed up so I listened, but I could’ve sworn I heard a different version growing up. This is the one!!! Growing up in HI, I thought this was the OG, come to find Tracy wrote the song. It’ll always be Ale’a for me tho on this one.
Was sitting at the Honolulu Club 7th floor and a 2 man band was singing this song, brought back memories. Ale’a did it right almost 19 years ago! One of my local favs. Imua Kamehameha
You’ll never go to a local Hawaiian bbq, wedding, birthday party , beach cruise or any type of special event without hearing this song at least once playing through someones speakers.
this is a gorgeous rendition of a gorgeous and plaintive song. Everything is beautiful about the harmonies. But there are a couple of relative minor chords in the original that they replaced with major chords and the overall effect is less mournful. And the original is so achingly vulnerable and mournful that it is a shame to dilute that feeling. But man! Can these boys sing sweet harmony. I like, i like.
Robert Taylor that's probably the most honest and informed RU-vid comment I've ever read. I agree with you, though I have to say that the replacement of minor with major is indicative of the overall vibe of Hawai'i.
