"Aotearoa' is the Māori name for New Zealand, it means 'The Land of the Long White Cloud".

The song was written by Glenn Medeiros from Hawaii wih some lyrics amended by ourselves.

This version is a preview recording of raw vocals, recorded locally by Michelle at the Rock Factory, Auckland.

  • @samverlinden Well, that's good then. I remember having braces. There were certain foods i couldn't eat. Had to use a little kids toothbrush to brush my teeth. Food was always getting stuck in them. SO gross. And the really tight feeling every few months when they got tightened!!!! But hey, at least it's not permanent.

  • @Clairelily85 well i'm only got the plates at the moment and they are removable, so I can remove them to sing. I have these for 6 months and then move to fixed braces. Such a pain.

  • @samverlinden what about now? Lol. You gotten used to them yet? Lol.
