Fits so good

This really weird!! I just read a book where the main character was a Scottish Maori....I thought, that is a bit far fetched, a Scottish Maori!! Yet here we are. What a small universe.

You got to hear it for him. He joined your Tipuna, he heard it in you. You were here to hear it for him.

EXTREMLY EXHILARATING

I lived in NZ 1974-1981 and had many Maori friends. Visited Rotoroua many times and loved seeing concerts etc. Was back in 2018 for a visit with friends for a week but I could not really let them see what I had the pleasure of experiencing over the time I lived there in Auckland area and the friends I met.

You’re welcome to share our culture, anyone is.

I know this was a year ago but what the fuck you on about mate

@@jonb1807 over a year ago! And please. Language! Sympathy is universal! And still genuine!

@@jonb1807 it was probably about the Mosque attacks

​@@waiskuxx your a knob nothing to do with it clown your a woke ass prick

+Ninjafied13000 it just needed God defend NZ added...

no it shouldnt but it is such a beautiful song. i shouldnt be listening to this haha

Ninjafied13000 *Should have been

Ninjafied13000 d I

As an Australian I listen to this and it is more than an anthem. It moves me whenever I hear it. It is about love of country. It is a song with true soul. We don't have such a song. I envy you.

Kasra Shirdel dam where?

You can find this song and many other s on RU-vid

How did you get on? I play this on F

@@benholland9240 pretty badly but it's Getting better

Please learn it correctly, in 3/4 time, as it was originally written

Westpac Trust Stadium in Wellington, NZ.

Politicians and just about every add uses music to underscore their message. I am indigenous Maori. the first new zealand spiritual religious Chrisitian revival took place between 1838-1842. So we are a spiritual people. if we are to say that every song that is used to support a message should spell out the ethos of message; my gosh that rules out so many songs. take a panadol..friend. be intelligent.

I never stated that the Maori people are not of faith, but thanks for insulting somebody's intelligence when YOU are the one who clearly misunderstood. I am not talking about Maori, I am talking about the song. The song is not religious, nor does it have any ties to religion besides what people want to pretend it has. That is why I asked if the caption (the words underneath the video, not the credit/subtitle you posted on the video itself before uploading) had anything to do with said video as there was no correlation, or if it was just the thoughts of a religious man.

the song doesn't have to be religious to be used as a message. I am a Maori leader and if I want to use one of our national waiata/songs; i can. you will get over the offense. Maori people are very spiritual. every meeting and gathering always starts with a prayer/karakia

Rawiri Love You still missed my point lol. I've gotten to the point where I give up on certain people. Good luck in life, dude 😂 I almost feel bad for your superiority complex regarding being Maori, it's pretty cringy.

Rawiri Love Ditch your own cultures gods to adopt another cultures god? Either believe in Maori spiritualism or believe in Chriatianity. Christianity is monotheistic if you hold traiditional Maori spiritual beliefs AND believe in the teachings of the bible you instantly break the 1st commandment.

+Marko Phillipo yes it was

I was there for this show.... Amazing and yes brings tears to eyes

I think in edinburgh military tattoo

@@rimapetrus667 No it was in Wellington NZ Military Tattoo

We have no "gods" or "goddesses" so... What are you talking about?

it is common practice to use background music too support a message. this is displayed in adds etc. I am of Te Ati Awa and I thank IO ATUA, God Almighty for the message of IHU Karaiti (Jesus Christ) that came with the early missionary. I run a church that has a brand of Christianity that is indigenous friendly. I do not need to be lectured about Colonization. What are you doing to abate the negative numbers of Maori in our prisons? How many tangi's do you officiate as Kaumatua/Minister? What Iwi's are you speaking into? Have you written and composed a Haka of late? What vision do you have for Maori over the next 5 - 10 years? Do you get asked to speak at important Maori functions....Kiaora.

Freyja is absolutely correct. Keep your bible bullshit to yourself.

It's a love song

@@rawirilove977 I actually agree with Freyja's comment. If you cut your self aggrandizing religious bullshit and pulled your head out of your arse you would see how contradictory your stance is. You have belief in a Jewish carpenter 2000 years ago, that's your thing but let's not get confused here, our people (I am of Ngapuhi/Ngaitawake descent) were crushed mostly by Christianity. Not by the white man's bullets. Even worse it was invited by our ancestors, and even worse is still perpetuated today, by people like you. As tangata whenua what link do we have with Christianity? None whatsoever is the answer. It was forced onto our tupuna, mostly because bibles were cheaper and more effective than bullets. The mass conversion of our people killed us, ancient practices, arts, and beliefs of our once mighty and beautiful people deemed heresy, and then fucking obliterated from the face of this planet, in the name of your man Jesus. Frankly I am embarrassed to know you and I share history, you're clearly uneducated and indoctrinated with Christian bullshit that you don't realise you only add to the problem our people face, the ones removed from our culture and customs, with no tikanga Maori, just brown skin, damaged mana, a language that was given back to us by white people, and the feeling of being a stranger in our own nation. Praise the Lord? Get real bro.

@@verajayne4186 its a love song and the story behind it is hot af lol

A stunning version of a beautiful song. Does anyone know the name of the male Maori singer. Fantastic voice!
