[navix1000]

lost my wife to meth this was her favorite song love u bumbum [ emma margret clarke] she is now working for the mob hate those crack heads

[Nymphtality]

this is my great grandmothers songs

[xefron123]

i knew this song as 'mimpi sedih' (sad dream) (sung by the late indonesian singer Broery Marantika, also covered by Emilia Contessa from the movie 'Akhir Sebuah Impian' (The End of a Dream) and was a top hit in Malaysia back in '75. I was pleasantly surprised when I discovered it was actually a Maori song in '84 when i ws studying in Auckland. beautiful song indeed. I hope those who wrote and sang the original got their deserved royalty.

[Fractatious]

@xefron123 This song is an ancient Tuhoe waiata from Ruatahuna that goes back to the 19th century. Credit was given where credit was due - to Tui Teka.

[inasina66]

I love this song ... before the movie "What becomes of the broken hearted" I only knew this song in our own language "Mimpi sedih" ... but the meaning & feelings are the same ... LOVE

[MultiMarcus111]

A truly wonderful song sung by an amazing New Zealander. A proud man of his people and culture. His music bonded us and connected with both pakeha and maori. The feelings he stirs in our souls are truthful, without fear. As a teenager of that era I believe he contributed to the person I am today.

[biker6565]
