I first heard this song while on a helicopter ride over the big island, 5 yrs ago. As soon as I heard this, my heart skipped a beat & I LOVED this song!! I still get chills all over when I hear this! What a beautiful song!! Thanks John!!
I came back from my first visit in July from the islands. For the last seven months, it has felt like I left a part of me back there. I wanna go back so bad and stay there. The atmosphere was so amazingly calm and relaxing to me that every time I hear this song, I tear up. I miss the island life
YEAH ME TOO love this song (and John Cruz's music) which has effectively become THE Hawai'ian theme song!! Always makes me feel blessed to be a part of this place, too - !!
god i wish i would of never moved from Maui. Listened to my wife at the time convinced me to move to mainland then she divorced me now im stuck out here if i want to see my kids
Love this song, love it even more when I watch JC singing it. Best when my friend does the hula to it. To humuhumunukunuku, I know I was born in the wrong culture.
We're anxiously waiting for John to come to the west coast mainland. We first saw him in 9/07 when he opened for Los Lonely Boys at the Aloha Tower Marketplace and the next evening in Maui at the MACC. Just love all his songs, especially this one.

@danminime Man.. I was about to comment, then looked down.. and.. yeah. What you said. I'm tearing up so much right now. I fought SO HARD to move away... Dunno what I was thinking. I'd give so much if I could move me and my family there today... Alabama man.. just doesn't compare. Neva will.
Uncle get up every morning and the cock crow last working in the sugar iz the island's past [repeated verse] on the island.... Listening to football on a Saturday night Drinking and cheering So Simple and right.
When I hear this song I think the same thing. I feel we can all grow to appreciate others, perhaps everything that is and always has been good about this world.

@@FredrickTheMoose2007 yes, thanks.
This song makes me wonder if I was born into the wrong culture.
When I hear this song I think the same thing. I feel we can all grow to appreciate others, perhaps everything that is and always has been good about this world.
Me too!
