SJD - Beautiful Haze

[MAORIBOY1983]

this songs about takeing a kick in the face and getting back up

[Spartacus9Z3]

WOW! Best NZ song for ages!!!!....

[knottercolledge]

Shouldn't there be a disclaimer along the lines of 'No Teddy Bears were hurt in the making of this video'? As for the poor guys themselves.....!

Liked this a lot. :-)

[nomeans]

best NZ song ever

[CatWalkTrust]

Such a great song. Used on our CatWalk Trust advert with the split screen of guys in wheelchairs running/dancing and trampolining. The song is such a powerful part of the ad, love it! Thanks guys :)

[tjusting]

i bet it would feel good to tell my boss, that i dont give a toss, and he can stick his lame ass job but im not sure that i can!

[HBK41632]

this is on the Get Black on your feet ad

[xxEhhSTFUxx]

The only time I heard this song was when it played on the commercial with the people in the wheel chair and just freakin cried - with the words and then what was happening in the commercial .. now I love this freakin song .. mean..

[nomeans]

I wish i could write a song as good as this.

[FlyingVneckSweater]

This a fantastic tune, but alas we are SJD-less in the UK

[queny2]

"Wake up from your beautiful haze

Rise up, smash your beautiful chains, climb out of your beautiful maze.

Rise up, rise up

Climb down from your beautiful tower, you know you won't make beautiful remains

All that's left is a beautiful hour

And its ours, ours .."

[runescapeflicks]

Dam this is a great song!

[stockcar4d]

[ffnarffnar]

SJD is such an underrated talent. In 20 years time he will be looked upon as a pioneer.

[Ruwuh1]

I could believe that 2.

2 me songs like this are more like sound tracks 2 life or maybe a family photo reel.

Good job SJD. Love this song =)

[kiwidavid72]

What a fricken fantastic song.

Somebody tell me how I can give SJD money so they can tell the boss that they don't give a toss and to stick his lameass job

[MAORIBOY1983]

[W00Pg]

Does my life suck because I don't do what these stupid things do?

[Bezoar5]

Check me out for a live version

[lyallbaybum69]

He writes such beautiful songs.

I had the pleasure of chatting to him a few years ago after a gig at Bodega...a real nice down-to-earth guy.

[kl0wnkill]

I already have a comment on here but I just want to say again, how much I fucking LOVE this song.

PPL listening to this. Wish I knew you all personally.

[mattyoatz123]

Cant beat NZ music.

[bnutta]

[jngtigmsmff]

A++++ for the song a

[saylward194]

This is a fantastic song and it was worth the pain in the ar$e that is signing up to you tube, just to say what a great song I think this is.

[BUMFLUFF44]

wicked

[frashthat]

Where can I download this song? Does anyone know if it's available on itunes or anything?

[kiwikathka]

Hi...yes it is on itunes. Look under SJD - Beautiful Haze and you're sure to find it. Also, if you are in NZ, please ring your local radio station to ask for it to be played. The more people who ask, the more they are likely to playlist it.

[puddypuddy]

Well done SJD... FAnTASTIC SONG!!!

[jackydavid545]

mint.

[crabbystick]

totally fecking awesome song! Go SJD!

[coffekat]

This Is A Mean Song .. it suits that beer add really well .. awesome song go kiwi music ! may nz music month .. ! represnt

[cmathews1]

Nice vid - love the song.

Where are they? It looks like they are at Oriental Bay in Wellington.

[kiwikathka]

They filmed the video in Albany, Auckland.

[darunia07]

@kiwikathka Isn't Albany way out in Northern Auckland? It looks a lot closer than that, like just on the North Shore.

[madphilgreenballs]

@darunia07 Albany's an outer suburb of Auckland, but it's not that far away, especially with the more recent highways etc. Used to live in Henderson and would go through Albany to the Shore.

[bnutta]

good fukn tune

[hapkidokingsland]

Cool song, go NZ music!!

[alexeire]

what a trully cool mellow tune

[XxXdontxtellxmeXxX]

Total classic, NZ is reletively unspoiled, as far as countrys go, and im pretty happy here, this song represents that well

[kiwiprince]

really awesome song, only wish there was some where to dl it

[JaRume]

buy there album "Songs from a dictafone" and youll have it. Support nz music! ; )

[kiwiprince]

would but im broke and havent seen it in stores...

[buttonNZ]

ok. here's the rule I work on. Everything is up for grabs unless it's kiwi stuff - support the kiwi. If it's not in stores iTunes will have it and it's cheaper than in the stores too! Else some places have their own sites like tikidub...:D

[kiwiprince]

i shud probably look into that then because ive never bothered with itunes before because i havent had a reason to but if it has this song on it then woohoo i don't mind buying it

[gsleek]

This has got to be one of our Kiwi iconic songs...describes everything about how laid back us Kiwis are....truly an awesome song

[MacDuffdaddy]

This is a truly sublime piece of music that has a resonance all of it's own.

A real NZ anthem for a world of change. We've got to stop playing bloody Dave Dobbin's 'Loyal' at replace it with this!!

[Mars920]

Agreed. We need something fresh!

[kl0wnkill]

Word up!

[GypsyDrowner]

@MacDuffdaddy its been thrased on tv enough as it is, let it fade into obscurity, keeps it pure bro

[MacDuffdaddy]

@GypsyDrowner well, true! But 3yrs ago when I made that comment it was still sorta fresh. 

[ruebs]

Nice message to all the 30 somethings stuck in a rut settling for a ho hum Sandringham existence... RISE UP... Do something!

[Furie69]

all credit to the marketing gurus for knowing a great song to use for their beer ad...been humming this for weeks now until i found out who it was.

Now i know i went out and bought the album.

Wonderful,wonderful music.

[xefix06]

beautiful kiwi music...amazing sounds...saw the beer ad and had to find out what song it waz....

[tima247]

I loooove this song!!!

[braazengirl]

I love Sjd and new muzic rocks!

[sidshiva]

Just a puny guy on a blue-green ball, got no problem with that thought at all!

[liveo27]

And Monteiths have stolen it! Could be worse I guess

[Lidowyte]

gorgeous song...make me slip into dreamy bubbly happy thoughts...numb to the world we live in...but no...alas we are "hear" on this naughty globe of disallowment from real existence it seems....peace & sunshine XOX

[russellnz]

i love this song...

[muntox]

smashing advice, specifically state and chains.  this is my favourite kiwi anthem.

[27five]

Yea-yah!!! I aint seen this video on tv much, C4 and Juice tv are all sh^t. ALT TV is the only channel I've seen this video on. Big up's to them and to the person that put it on YouTube....

Peace.
