[Polaris104]

Aww yay kiwis coolest anthem ever. Peace, love, and freedom, wish mine was more like that (usa).

[MingWree]

No dislikes..................... enough said

[Caomhanach1989]

Love our anthem. 2nd verse is my favourite; "men of every creed and race...."

[hihihui1]

Why the fuck doesn't our bloody anthem have a few aboriginal verses in it?

[GaladedridDamodred]

@hihihui1 Because there were over two hundred Aboriginal languages. Might be a bit difficult to fit them all in.

[hihihui1]

@GaladedridDamodred Not all of them, that would be a little silly. I mean the most spoken indigenous language would be ideal. Show a bit of diversity.

PLEASEEE PEOPLE LIKE THIS SO I CAN SHOW MY DAD NEW ZEALAND IS THE RIGHT PLACE TO BE!!!:DD

[ShannenGonzales360]

wow! NZ national anthem is six minutes PH national anthem is only 59 seconds

[0wnzalot]

i live in new zealand

and every time i hear my national anthem i cry because of

my family members that died in christchurch

i sing along to remember my family members hope

and to give thanks to those who helped in christchurch

god bless my country aotearoa and my whanou

kia kaha

[dunes03]

After listening to this , I have to admit New Zealand has the best anthem in the world. Shame majority of Kiwis don't even know their own national anthem words. America has the second best anthem in the world and they beat any country in the way they sing, respect and show their passion for their anthem. God Bless New zealand and America

[WhistlingTomahawk]

@dunes03 If you want passion for national anthems you only have to look at the Scots, the Welsh or the French. No disrespect to the US but I think there are several anthems that trump The Star Speckled Banner.

You know why Australians always make sheep jokes about New Zealand? We're just jealous of their awesome national anthem.

[brittneybruuv]

Proud to be a Kiwi!

[mrunclesi]

[DRpokeme]

Truely one of the best anthems ever.

Nice voice of the singer

[MissCartoonist]

What a great version. Proud to be a Kiwi. :)

[AstronomySetMeFree]

I get stoned and then listen to this over and over everynight

[mrRstompers13]

when I was in new zealand I had to see this in school everyday and Iloved every minute of it. It's so much better than the american one

[chocchipcookiegirl]

Oh my! I'm Aussie and I much prefer this anthem- at least the music xD Its so cool you've got Maori and English lyrics! I think Australia should do that but unfortunately there are too many dialects (?) within the indigenous community not just one!

[Queencaboo]

Oh this version is so sweet, her voice, in this, amazing. Makes NZ country proud, especially to have such an amazing extended version of this song,

Ireland loves it too, <3

[Bon2994]

this anthem you could listening to over and over. its just like a normal song. But Australia Anthem is Shit. And never will i listen to it over and over again. :/

I wish i lived in new zealand.

[hihihui1]

This is bullshit....Australian Government, learn from our Kiwi Brothers and add a few aboriginal versus into our anthem.

[adriandrummond]

WOW, thats the first time I have ever heard the full version and its just beautiful, proud to be a born and breed Kiwi

[akasports1]

Beautiful country with beautiful people

[Queencaboo]

[sasa78ish]

powerful!

[ksolomona94]

sooo beautiful ... New Zealand, South African and Samoan anthems are my favourites :) love from Australia ! (the country with the world's ugliest anthem)

[xDawseyx]

@ksolomona94

I agree that new zealands national anthem is nice but get some pride into you... australias national anthem talks of being young and free and gifted by rich and rare natural beauty, which is all true

[ksolomona94]

@xDawseyx ..i love Australia.. anthem sucks, and my opinions not gonna change on that, sorry mate. It also talks about boundless plains to share but thats another political issue.. Young and free? Australia has an aging population hahaha .. hardly true

[ksolomona94]

@xDawseyx btw.. Australians don't actually have a constitutional right to freedom of speech.. lol so young and free? not really? haha

[Bon2994]

@ksolomona94  Thats So True :/

[nightsong89]

Absolutely beautiful rendition of the New Zealand National Anthem.

[dobstaable]

This would be one of the best versions I've ever heard, up there with "the String of Pearls" from Palmerston North, don't see them singing with the Netball girls anymore, what ever happened to them. Kia Kaha Christchurch, the rest of NZ is out there doin' it for ya.
