  • @uhhitsdan it's not stupid it's homage paid to IZ. no he's not from Hawaii. They're from Seattle I'm pretty sure. I am Hawaiian, and I have no problem with this. He tried his best, despite being foreign to the language and culture. I think the reason for this is that music transcends culture, race, sex, and just about any other social barrier that might exist in this crazy world. He Hawai'i Au!

  • Oh my god, I was there. Eddie Vedder is god, and I think that IZ would have been honored to have Eddie cover this song. And he did such a great job on it! Every word was pronounced perfectly.

  • Very interesting. Mind, I'll always love the original more, but it's good to see more exposure for this song and the message in it.

  • @h9stjarr I am from Scotland but lived in New Zealand for a while and experienced Maori, Samoan and Tongan culture and I have to say I LOVE the music from the Polynesian islands like Samoa and Hawai'i! Aloha!
