@Liz Stubbs Tuffin - part Maori (and for those who think only a full Maori should sing this song) .... my dad, a blonde, blue eyed, short Anglo Saxon would sing this song, saying it was one of the most beautiful songs he knew. He heard it first during WW2 in the Far East sung by Kiwis in fellow RAF crews who taught him the words. So, indeed be rightly proud, but also proudly share ......

I was there in pouring rain, still an amazing concert. Hayley sang just as beautifully as ever even in the middle of torrential rain and wind, on a summer evening in Wales :)

What a voice, send shivers down my spine, this is a beautiful, Maori song that is a part of all New Zealanders history. A song, a voice that deserves to be shared with the world. Hayley may not be of Maori decent but she is a Kiwi woman with a voice that could compete with the best in the world. As a part Maori, I am proud that she thinks enough of this song to perform it and perform it with such class. love it

사람들은 사랑을 말하지만 이별할 수 밖에 없는 세계를 만들기도 하고.. 그렇게 슬픔을 아름다움으로 바꾸기도 하고..

Music can be shared by all mankind and bring us together, just as this magnificent rendition of this soulful song does - mush better than politicians, wars, universities and business - we can all just kick back and absorb the beauty of great music. thanks for the post.

*One more "One Song"*Music is truly universal. As we all know, the right melody, beat, and words at the right... or any... moment can *will* trigger images, visions, and memories...*"It is often called the unofficial national anthem of New Zealand. I have lived in Australia nearly 30 years but I was born and raised in New Zealand and this song (a Maori love song written around the time of world war 1) is the song that takes me back and puts me on the wharf at Whakatane Headland, watching the fishing boats come in.* *"There are a million versions of the song and this is very recent, slightly modern interpretation.*"Glad to play this for one of our newest FNS'ers, +Laughing Owl (Some Hysteria to come tomorrow!)#PokarekareAna #NewZealand #OneSong #RRHK
