Hawai'i '78 Introduction - Israel Kamakawiwo'ole

[MrKaimalia]

@compexci Troy Polamalu is Samoan, not Hawaiian

[compxci]

a true hawaiian you say...I know some true hawaiians, they live here, in the haole capital, heck, some of them even play football on a popular football team. What is your reply to someone like, troy polumalu?? He is a true hawaiian if there ever was one and he believes in Christ, God. so I don't buy your complaint about true hawaiians, better get a more convincing argument because yours is weak, and its an old.

[atsali71]

thumbs up if you found this beautiful song from Hawaii 5-0!

[compxci]

You know what is so profound? Creation. All creation is in a fallen state (decay). If today Hawai'i is that beautiful, imagine what it would have been like before the fall!

To all who believe that, that which Christ has, will be ours too. So will I on an Island in Heaven? God, I hope so.

[Veedub98]

@compxci being hawaiian...a true hawaiian, for you to say christ and god about hawaiians is ignorant. sounds like another main lander that sees hawaii for what the white man made it. if you listen to the song its about the land being taken away. im sure its the first set of lyrics in this song.. anyways "god" be with you haole

[compxci]

@Veedub98 believe what you want, I could care less. seeing what I said has upset you so much, i would wonder if what you said, is what you truly believe. But then again, maybe its me being presumptuous that when it is all said and done, it was the haole's fault for bringing medicine and technology to your little corner of the world. But hey, listen, if you want the haole to take back all that they 'took', we can do that. "live wrong and proper".

[compxci]

Be it far from me to say that a location and a people could transform my outlook on life and relationships, is not completely honest, it was the spiritual transformation into the family of God via Jesus and his sacrifice, blood atonement that changed me. It is only now, that it all comes together and through this transformation, I understand what hawaiians feel about their land, (having had it taken from them), 'cause I feel it too.

[compxci]

When I was in Kona in 1993 and the time was drawing near that I had to leave, I wept, I wept like I had lost a loved one. All the friends I had made, probably would never hear from again and to this day, very few remain on the Island. I knew it would take longer to see Kona again and in 2007 I did return. It was all different, many moved away with no hint as to their whereabouts. But I vow one day to return and live out my dying days in Hawai'i.

[mistiya]

beautiful is such a small word to use to describe him and his music, it brings such strong emotion and visions of beauty and old spirits his music is a feeling

[compxci]

@mistiya (-infinity,......0..........Be­autiful............Wonderful..­......Prolific........strong emotion.....infinity), yes, I think beautiful only touches how he feels.

[compxci]

@mattsmoski3737 To gather together from the four winds, all people to come home back to Hawai'i. To preserve their bloodline. To keep Hawai'i and future generations true blood Hawaiians (forsake marrying non Hawi'ians).

[compxci]

So dissappointed I wasn't born Samoan, Philopino, Togan or some other variant of Polynesian descent. For I really dislike my own heritage. In fact, I never was proud of it and since there is nothing I can do about it, might as well accept it and move on.

[mattsmoski3737]

What is he saying about people coming back?

[finny1603]

Als ich dieses Stück in der neuen TV-Serie "Hawaii 5.0" hörte, war ich ganz ergriffen. Die Szene ist sehr berührend, die Musik erzeugt ein tiefes Gefühl. Gänsehaut pur :o)

[soso310710]

T'es partis trop vite bonhomme.... Ta meilleure chanson pas forcément la plus connue... dommage....

[Cx4130fDo8]

I'm a non-Hawaiian born and raised in Hawaii. I love the music and have been playing it ever since I could pick up an ukulele. I remember singing this kaneakpila outside mu porch with all the Halawa boys. Brudda Iz you was and always be da Man!

[orcinus74]

I have always been fascinated with Hawaii. I remember my grandpa playing IZ for me when I was younger. I fell in love, and vowed to visit Hawaii. I'm going there this summer for a school biology trip. It's going to change my life; I can feel it. I can't wait.

[MrDacottage]

[naesydarb9]

One the greatest song that Israel Kamakawiwo'ole song...

[player48322]

all of om is da best

[MegaSonic831]

this is one of the only songs I heard in Hawaii

[badphish911]

just great! I haven't had the means to find or listen to this song in close to a year.

Damn..just god-DAMN.

I remember the first time I heard this song..

IMO, there isn't an emotion strong enough to fully comprehend this track!

When you start to really listen to it, it becomes purely hypnotic!

The way I see it, this song just transcends time..almost like a trance.

It transcends monetary importance's..insignificant differences..petty problems..& other things that people THINK are important!

[MarkuzzzMan]

thanks for uploading !

[fang1f1]

this is a beatuful cd and he has such a nice voice
