As a proud mandandanji man from western Queensland. This fills my heart with so much joy to hear another indigenous language sung like this and the message is strong
This is the perfect example and blend of Maori and other Kiwis coming together for common good. We only enhance each other and our country. Nobody loses out or has to worry about their mana being diminished by another. Ka mau te wehi!!
Nice song i like your pepeha same bro same im not on my whenua but i know where it is its at my nans house my papakainga my whanau and tipuna are home but now I have another home in another country but its not the same but ill make it work... ill come back when they stop calling us bludgers 😅😅
When your best mate in the whole world (in Aotearoa) sends you this (in Canada) with a message “I miss you” 😢 ♥️ thank you so much for sharing your gifts with us
I lost my beautiful daughter and I keep a light on for her at night as she was scared of the dark. This song just touched me so much with the beautiful words. I will keep the home fires burning till I see her once more. It also gives me strength so when I miss her with a pain in my heart I listen to this song and it all falls into place. Thankyou six sixty
A beautiful waiata...very powerful I can hear my ancestors call me when I hear this song. They say Kia Kaha dear girl. You are special and loved even if you feel alone and have lost your path. We are with you
I've been in the country just under two years after living 15 years away, in China. Hearing and watching this for the first time... to my surprise it brought tears. Because I've been feeling like a fish out of water since coming back, maybe I'm finally realising I'm home
I think this is, by far, the most beautiful meaningful piece of music Kiwis have ever made. 💕 The music, the lyrics, all of it.. speak to my heart, even though I have no Maori blood, that I'm aware of
We’re all related in our fantastic human family Helen 😊 Ultimately we’re all African 😊 These categories we use are purely arbitrary and don’t exist in objective reality.
@@everyoneswaahi5618 same way you made a comment . Easy as that . Personal reference :) I’d rather home grown anthem instead of this bullshit one we currently have handed down from an oppressing “crown”
@@darno105 A pepeha is something that represents a person, a person's story. A pepeha can't represent a WHOLE country, Although I wish there was an anthem with all of our pepeha's but that's not possible, right?
A song to feel special - "SIX60 - Special" A song to not fade away - "SIX60 - Fade away" A song to replenish your MANA - "SIX60 - Pepeha" Love these guys, ALOFA from Samoa❤️❤️❤️❤️
Such a beautiful song! An effective Te Reo Maori Language for Early Childhood Educational Home-based Project ... Soft beautiful lyrics and suitable for young children!!
As I have someone overseas waiting to come home as we are wanting to get married I couldn’t think of a more fitting song than this one. Thanks guys from the bottom of my heart ♥️. Kia Ora, Kia Kaha for NZ
You have an amazing voice Matiu 💜 . SIX60 is my all time favourite band 🙌. I listen to your music daily 🥰. I went to the SIX60 concert in Hamilton this year. It was my first ever concert and I enjoyed it sooooo much. Hopefully I can go to many more SIX60 concerts in Aotearoa 🙏 🤞
Man I have never felt so far away from home than I have right now, yet so close! I just cannot wait get back to NZ with our little girl so she can finally meet all of her NZ whanau. I know there are so many people In the same situation and any kiwi who is away from home feels the same. Such a awesome song and clip to watch right now, it sends goosebumps up my arm!! Much Aroha to all!! 🙂🤙✌️
i fell bad that your away from your family! i sort of know how you fell my dad tried to stab me when i was 2 and i have never seen him in 10 years im now 12 i have no memories of him or my sister nothing but i can see him in 2 years!:)
Music is what brings our small nation together and puts our differences behind us. Chur brothers for making a song we can all relate to, aroha nui from a kiwi in the UK ♥️♥️♥️
This made me cry…the lyrics are so beautiful and just resonated with me…tino ataahua me tika te kupu o tenei waiata. Nga mihi ki a koutou e rangatira!!!
I’m Samoan also, it just hits different 👌 there are a few Samoan songs that fill me with pride and leads my cup to overflow, but this is the first one to do it for me in english/te reo
This is in all honesty the perfect anthem for Aotearoa/NZ omg! This is the song version of a haka that echos the vibe only Maori-Kiwis-New Zealanders know ;)
This song is absolutely beautiful. It's reminds me of this is my homeland with a big heart. Thank you Six60 for sharing this incredible song .. Always I'm in a wonderful world. 🇳🇿❤️
I love this song, makes me tear up and warms my heart...every time I hear it now it makes me think of Sean Wainui. Never knew him but this song reminds me of how proud he was of heritage and being Māori. Always stood proud of who he was, wore his heart on his sleeve and never forgot his roots❤may he continue to carry his mana with him in the after life and rest in God's eternal love🙏🏽❤arohanui kia koe Sean, Moe mai ra e te rangatira🙏🏽❤
Came late to this band as I thought it was a "young person's " group, but watched their doco & now hooked. This guy has one of the most delicious & versatile voices I have heard EVER, & I love their lyrics, arrangements, harmonies as well. As a Kiwi, this song is EPIC! Makes me proud...
You’re absolutely right! They have no demographic and transcend age, race and stereotypes. I’ve loved them for over 10 years but so does my mum, grandmother, nieces and nephews! That’s why they’re NZ’s greatest band of all time IMO ❤️
I love you so much! I'm a big fan of your work who was born in Ecuador but carries NZ on my heart. Your music make me feel alive during this times and bring me back to the places and people I love from Aotearoa. Thank you for all, hope one day you can have a South American tour...
Sending this to my friends and family in England. just to let them know how privi leged I feel to be a part of this amazing country with its amazing people.
This song is pure gift. Melts the heart of stone. The absolute most a singer/songwtiter could hope to achieve. Songs like this change lives . Don't underestimate the joy/comfort you spread😍
six60 is such a great band. y’all marked my and many others’ experience in aotearoa. i hope that song and message spread all around the world. arohanui brothas
Just listen to the song and imagine some of the things that make new zealand. The all blacks, the sky tower, our beautiful land , all of the sheep etc. Have fun wherever you are♡
Matui thank you for your mahi, and embracing your culture sharing it with the World. Whakaaro nui. Kia whakaaetia e te ao to tātau ahurea me to tātau iwi. Aroha me ngā manaaki ki a koe me te pēne.
when i listened to this there was very deep meaning. Mana being your maunga, your maunga is bigger than you which means mana being the biggest thing, ko aroha te moana- spread love across all the seas, whanau being our waka, basically meaning that they row/drive you though whole entire life, love the hidden meaning
Isaiah 2:2 And it shall come to pass in the last days, that the mountain of the LORD'S house shall be established in the top of the mountains, and shall be exalted above the hills; and all nations shall flow unto it. Revelation 22:1 The angel showed me a river filled with the water of life, as clear as crystal. It was flowing from the throne of God and the lamb
Such a beautiful song🎵 I knew it was going to be. I’m so proud to be here as a Māori person living in NZ, and hearing this song gives me hope like you’d never believe. Thank you😊 I’m both impressed and heart filled❤️
He tāku Tama ERU!!!! you look stunning in this song, so meaningful, so proud of you for following your dreams son, seeing you a young fella, grown up.. can not stop my tears of emotion remembering as a little child and you are a living person of this song... Go Six60!!
