Kealii Reichel - Kawaipunahele

[JayjayyHearts]

This is one of the very few reason I love not just the Hawaiian culture, but the polynesian culture in general. I may not be hawaiian but I can definitely I value and admire the culture just as much as if I were. <3

[enafofena]

<3 i feel more homesick than usual tonight! I've been in Fresno, California for ten years...and I've always missed Hawaii, but not like this. I am going back home to get my bachelors though! :) Only a year and then it's back home I go. 

[KMakamae808]

@enafofena lol this almost made me cry! much aloha:)

[robertdeltajohnson]

I met Keali'i Reichel in Miami Beach in 1995, when he came for a food benefit sponsored in part by Shep Gordon. He came w/Mark Ellman and Michael Moore(Old Lahaina Luau). Keali'i told me all about Hawai'i, so I moved to Maui in 1998. Stayed 8 years, had to return to mainland in 2006, my Pops had cancer. My Pops passed on 10/31/11, God rest his soul. When I get enough money, gonna' come back to Maui. It's the only place I ever lived that felt like home. My heart and soul are still there...Aloha

[corvette25hi]

I miss home, but I retire from the Gov. in two years so that would be most excellent. Hey man ain't no room for that prejudice crap man! Hawaii people supposed to be a very loving people and I'm always defending Hawaii about that subject.

[808Hea]

One dislike... fuking dumb haole.

[haolesteve111]

@808Hea I resent, I love this song.... There are some of us HAOLE'S that aren't that bad!!!!!!

[808Hea]

@haolesteve111 Of course not. Im glad you like the music. Im happy that there are many well hearted people like you. Mahalo.

[haolesteve111]

@808Hea I lived in Hawaii for 40 years, whats not to like? I love Hawaiian music may not nunderstand, but you can feel the ALOHA...

[Connieleann]

I love to here this song ,it is so pretty .

[sfkev100]

I'm so sad these days and just want to come home. aloha my Hawai'i Oe.

[mylarica2]

So soft and soothing...I just love this vocal rendition!!!

[naydee]

I love this man's music. I have just discovered him by accident. What a national treasure his voice is! I am not from Hawaii, but this makes me strangely homesick for a place I have only been able to visit on a stop over flight years ago. Kisses and love to you Hawaii!

[66waianae2013]

i love how theres so much aloha on dis page theres no hate :)

[Lichtsamen]

Oh, I just cry, it's such a deep longing for the simplicity, beauty and harmony, for peace. Thank you from my heart for this music, it's simply divine. ALOHA to all the poeple in this world.

[compxci]

@Lichtsamen i'm right there with on the crying account, I yearn for it too. It would be a gift from God to live there.

[hitiamedoku]

KAUAI I MISS YOU!!!

[Madametranquille]

Thank you!

[kikananihanai]

Keali`i is great as always, but it is the visuals with this that raise it to even greater heights. Mahalo manflory

[Madametranquille]

I like it, the music, the singer and the lovely pictures. Any one knows how to pronocnce the singer's name Kealii?

[kikananihanai]

@Madametranquille Say it Kay-ah-lee-hee. Hawaiian pronounciation is similar

to Japanese. a is ah, e is eh, i is ee.

[koyama121]

@Madametranquille I've heard it kind of pronounced like "Kay-ah-lee-E Rye-shell" by my old Hawai'ian roomate, but it looks more like "Ray-shell" from the spelling to me.

[Samjapa]

Beautiful song.

[nickyybombb4155]

i love this song so much my faster grandpa taught me it although i am not hawiian i love the music and the culture

[SKGuidry50]

This song heals me from the loss of my ohana, my baby and both parents.

[leinabuchanan7]

Funny how no one dislikes this video.... BECAUSE THERE IS NOTHING BAD ABOUT THE HAWAIIAN CULTURE! Ua Mau Ke Ea O Ka Aina I Ka Pono!

[KMakamae808]

@leinabuchanan7 lol only 1 idiot dislikes this song... makes no sense as to why they would!!! Keali'i is one of the BEST.

[JBinMontana]

Nani Aloha, Mahalo Nui Loa, no ka oi

[NovaDon130]

Ah my Hawaiian childhood... I miss it.

[TheHawaiianIkaika]

When your Hawaiian at hart, even though you don't know what he is saying it makes you wanna go back home to hawaii. :(

[suzukhawaii]

I remember when this song first came out and though I was just a haole boy growing up in Hawaii I still love this song, such an amazing song.

[oceanfrizz]

I miss u Hawaii...2 more weeks till I get there

[oOHulaGirlOo]

@oceanfrizz Oooohhh I am jealous!!!! have fun :D

[bqndc]

I miss Hawaii. I miss the music. The people. The food. Hula. Merrie Monarch. The flowers. The rainbows. The lush, green mountains. The sunshine.  The beaches. Pidgin English. Shakas. The smiles. Driving on H-2. God, I miss Hawaii!

[blondidaffy]

so etwas schönes, möchte nach hawaii :-) da liegt richtig sehnsucht drin

[blondidaffy]

so etwas schönes, möchte nach hawaii :-)

[kkponolures]

No, make me weep. A O coco

[kamaaina877]

It's one thing to listen to this beautiful song and yet another completely different way to see this song through pictures of the Hawai'i and her people. The first time I viewed this video, I yearn for the Aloha that is missing here in the Mainland. Only in Hawai'i can I get that feeling. Everytime I go for a visit, I make plans to move there...go back to my roots.

Anyone looking for a Server Enterprise Administrator? ? ?

[kingjamessolja]

fuuck...everybody on this shit is homesick including me...this song is the official homesick song for hawaiians.... im going back...not gonna be another statistic and get stuck living miserable cuz im somewhere else...who cares if the economy in hawaii is bad and the state income tax is the highest in the country...n micronesians and filipinos keep overflowing the place...ainokea...gotta get back to my poke, beer. L&L, zippys, steak plates, lau laus, kalua pig, poi, perfect weather all year long

[etuvale]

Homesick for me, too. Although I live in California, my heart is always in Hawaii.

[michellefrsureyessir]

i'm hawaiian, was raised dancing hula playing ukulele and playing tahitian drums. 16 years old and i've never been there once. I NEED to go ):

[PixieByChance]

@michellefrsureyessir Same Here, :(

[bpdexplorer129nc]

I wish i was back in o'ahu, being very happy and peaceful but traveling to the mainland was very... much of a changing experience when i was little :) you cant find no other beautiful places other then in hawaii.. :) Mahalo for such a beautiful song and sung by the greatest.

[skanthavelu]

This song reminds me of how beautiful Hawai'i is and how damn frigid Canada is during the winter! Man do I wish I was there!

[yourmom9883]

@skanthavelu Same here! I live in Minnesota... I miss Hawaii. :'(

[skanthavelu]

Fortunately, winter is now half over and within a months time, the weather will start getting warmer and daylight savings time will start in the first weekend in March as it has done since 2007. :)

[Coasterguy45]

This music touches me so deep...Can't understand what he's actually saying, but it doesn't matter...It sounds more beautifull than english...

[xLinaChansDEADx]

I was never in touch with the Hawaiian-islander in me, but this song always reminds me where my heart and where my home is. <3

[maligurl7]

Heard this song on the plane from Hawaii to San Francisco, I was crying so much, it was the first time my boyfriend and I had been separated after 3 years of dating, it was hard but it always takes me back to that year.

I love Keali'i's voice, I was in a dance group and always was the one to do a solo to most of Keali'i's songs:)

Mahalo,

Mali

[skanthavelu]

@maligurl7

That is so sad. I am sorry to hear that. May you and your boyfriend be reunited. Aloha.

[maligurl7]

We're actually married now, we've now been a military family for almost 6 years. I still love this song, still dance to it as if it was my first time hearing it and still cherish it as if its the only song that would keep me sane during my hard times.

Thanks so much for the beautiful comment, Mahalo:)

Mali

[skanthavelu]

I am happy to know that. God bless you and your husband! :) Aloha! ;)

[jayboi1230]

I love this video and song........... just makes me feel very sick wat this dam goverment is doing to this "BEAUTIFUL" place..... Who ever loves Hawaii as much as me would agree on this statement cause its very true....... " Glad we live Hawaii"

[Khimaeras]

[compxci]

How beautiful! I know I will never have the opportunity to visit Hawaii but glad we have YouTube to visit whenever we want.

[skanthavelu]

I like YouTube very much. I have found so many interesting videos over here.

[keanu1990]

god bless the voice of our people

[pslatidaleilani]

aloha...1996,flying home to oahu on hawaiian air,heard this song,went straight to record store to buy...ended up buying 3 of keali'i's recordings....i haven't stopped yet...wow......what a voice...soul....spirit.....mah­alo,malama pono....me ke aloha,leilani

[bUbbAhANhUNNiE]

OMG dat waz mai fwen wen she waz lillo at 2: 30 !!!!! omg teetah u look so cute!!!! :)

[Zammybreaker]

Love this song.

I wana dance it in public

[MMLAlbri]

When I went to Hawaii in 1997, I heard this song a few times and it entered my soul. I spent 2 years of buying and sampling Hawaiian CDs until I found Keali'is record. Since then peace has returned. I shall never forget the Hawaiian people, their beauty of person and nature and the peace and tranquility of their lives. I pray that I will be able to visit there again before I die, because I know this is as close the heaven as there is on earth.

God Bless you for this posting.
