  • I was inspired to write this song because of the good works of Daniel Anthony and the Mana 'Ai ohana. They are teaching the community to feed themselves and their families by bringing back the hawaiian practice of pounding kalo to make Pa'i'ai and poi.

    heared this the first time in 2016 when my girlfriend was sick and sleeping. When she woke up, she felt better, so I showed her this song and we listen to Paul since then, its been 7 years! We have now a little daughter, and she´s gonna be a Paul´s fan, too. Thank you for the music. Greetings from Slovakia

    Why all the hate against a man who is singing a song of truth, peace, and love? If you are talking trash about this man's art, you need to check yourself. God bless you sir and thanks for the song.

      Preference doesn't give people the right to be assholes. I prefer pussy, but I don't hate on gays.

    • @SmokedOutHaze1
      @SmokedOutHaze1 7 років тому +5

      Lol no one's cryin, homie. I just checked you and you're too stupid to realize it, so you come back with a nonsensical response. Nice one.

    • @SmokedOutHaze1
      @SmokedOutHaze1 7 років тому +14

      Hahaha wow. If I hadn't had a nice 13% stout (cost of $100 a bottle, since you like to talk about how much I get paid) in me, I wouldn't take the time I'm about to to type this out. But here we go!
      Where to start... First off, I'm not angry, just justified in what I'm saying and trying to get you to see something that is very simple, but to no avail (no surprise, being that this is the internet). It takes a lot to get me angry and some guy on the internet trying to battle my wits isn't one of those triggers. You didn't elaborate on your "original point" at all in your previous comments. Good job trying to backtrack though. MY original point (which I've already stated) is that just because your preference is different doesn't give you the right to be an asshole. Why be an asshole? Especially over art lol. Does it make you feel good, letting people know that you don't like what they like? lol All you're doing is being negative and that literally serves no purpose. Next time you want to hate on something, just stop for 10 seconds and think about what the point is. I guarantee that 90% of the time, you're just being petty. I mean, you've been petty this entire conversation lmao. I haven't smoked weed in 4 years. This account was made when I was 16. I'm 26 now. Again- Nice try. Furthermore, your presumption that smoking pot influences my point of view here shows that you literally are trying to cling to anything you can to be right, so you don't have to look at yourself and realize that being an asshole is unwarranted and just plain isn't cool. Also, massive lol at "being invited to parties year after year". Cool man. lmao
      Final point: I make a fair wage and live within my means and I always strive to better myself in life in as many aspects as possible, including financially. It's really sad when you have to compare yourself to another person by dollar signs, because that shows that that is really all you have going for you. There is much more to life than money. Some of the most important things in life are learned for free. You can have a ton of money in your bank account and still be a worthless piece of shit. Cheers!

      Sung Yul Taylor Yes thank you this song states nothing but the truth. And I know some people are gonna be racist or some shit like that but this is the truth. The whites overthrew our land and our home. With the Native Americans the United States at least gave them an apology and gave them land, but when they overthrew our Aina the U.S didn't give the Hawaiians shit no apology no nothing. They even banned the culture. So from there on out us the Hawaiians are trying to bring back our culture that got taken away from our hands.P.S THOSE FUKIN MICRONESIANS

And whats with the "how can a hippy have such a nice guitar"what if this is his only possession because he loves playing guitar? You know what i see jealousy in those people i think its just jealousy like "why can he live the way i actually want to and im not"

    LYRICS:
    Mana `Ai, mahalo for the pa`i`ai
    In a time where the culture could die
    If you take away the water, our precious wai, wai
    Oh Mana `Ai, mahalo for the pa`i`ai
    In a time where the people could cry
    Cause they are abusing the 'aina
    `A`ole malama
    So let's not feed
    Our hunger with greed
    Its time we plant the seed
    And remember true Hawai`i
    Kanaka Maoli
    Don't let it die
    Don't say we didn't try
    To break out through the lies
    And look in to the inside Akua guide I
    Like `opelu in the sea
    A school we must be
    Planting kalo to feed our family
    Singing a song to help each other along
    Keiki O Ka `Aina
    Stand Strong
    Well we can talk about sustainability
    But most of this land is leased to companies
    Who could care less about the people
    And the land they grow upon
    Just becomes a chemical farm
    They're doing harm
    And what have these companies done for us anyway
    Most of the food they grow just get sent away
    To another place and they say it to our face
    If we didn't have them, we'd starve in just a few days
    But our way
    We are here to make our stand today
    And there's a lot of people out there that feel the same way
    Don't let them trick you, they're out to deceive
    But everyone is entitled to what they believe
    So I'll be chanting
    Mana `Ai, mahalo for the pa`i`ai
    In a time where we look through the lies
    Stare them in the eyes and told them that
    This truth wears no disguise
    Like `opelu in the sea
    A school we must be
    Planting kalo to feed our family
    Singing a song to help each other along
    Keiki O Ka `Aina
    Stand Strong
    Like `opelu in the sea
    A school we must be
    Planting kalo to feed our family
    Singing a song to help each other along
    Keiki O Ka `Aina
    Stand Strong

      Risking to die from a fever (except if "living this way" includes pharmacetics), accepting to be hungry half a day and saying goodbye to the easy access to our society's entertainment and culture (and I'm even talking about the"sane" ones, like litterature)? Then throw out your computer/phone or whatever you're writing this comment on, because that would be the easiest part of starting to live "this way".
      I'm glad I live in this society... Even if it's often unfair, I would not trade my place with a guy singing half nude with a guitar in the forest. I disagree with a lot of things going on our system, so I fight for some of day everyday - without preaching it, because you don't make things evolve by forcing it on people.
      Stop dreaming your life, live it. You can do beautiful things wherever you are now. You want nature? Start growing up the simplest stuff yourself - it's not hard to have your own onions or tomatoes. You want community? Go talk to your neighbours, invite them, help them... The list is long. Some things depend on yourself only.

Praying for humanity who remains strong in these days & times of the poisoning of our environment, mind, body, soul, & very existence. It's time to be self sustaining again, so we can thrive after the fall of the cabal and corrupt corporate world. 😊

Paul, you are a representation of the only kind of people that can live on this planet a thousand more years without having to worry about the future at all. A conscious revolution is on the horizon, and psychedelics are the catalyst. It's time to change.

    Heres some of the lyrics
    O manai, mahalo for the paia, in a time when a culture could die
    If you take away the water, our precious vivai
    O manai, mahalo for the paia, in a time when the people could cry
    Cause the're abusin the aina a ulemalama
    So let's not feed our hunger with greed
    It's time we plant the seed and remember true hawai kanakamaoli
    Don't let it die don't say that we didn't try
    To break hem through the lies, I'll look into the inside akua guida
    Like a pillow in the sea
    A school it must be, planting kalo to feed their family
    Singing our song to help each other along
    Keiki o ka aina stand strong
    Well we can talk about sustainability
    But most of this land is least to companies
    Who could care less about the people and the land they grow appart
    Just becomes a chemical farm, the're doin harm
    But what have these companies done for us anyway
    Most of the food they grow just get send away
    To another place and they say it to our face
    If we didn't have them we'd starved in just a few days
    Well I wait, we are here to make our stand today
    And if it goes like a lot of people out there who'd feel the same way
    Don't let them trick you the how to deceive, but everyone is entitled to what they believe
    So i've been chanting manai, mahalo for the paia
    In a time we look through the lies
    Stare them in the eyes and thaught them that this truth wears no desguise.

    Mana `Ai, mahalo for the pa`i`ai
    In a time where the culture could die
    If you take away the water, our precious wai, wai
    Oh Mana `Ai, mahalo for the pa`i`ai
    In a time where the people could cry
    Cause they are abusing the `āina
    `A`ole mālama
    So let's not feed
    Our hunger with greed
    Its time we plant the seed
    And remember true Hawai`i
    Kanaka Maoli
    Don't let it die
    Don't say we didn't try
    To break out through the lies
    And look in to the inside Akua guide I
    Like `ōpelu in the sea
    A school we must be
    Planting kalo to feed our family
    Singing a song to help each other along
    Keiki O Ka `Āina
    Stand Strong
    Well we can talk about sustainability
    But most of this land is leased to companies
    Who could care less about the people
    And the land they grow upon
    Just becomes a chemical farm
    They're doing harm
    And what have these companies done for us anyway
    Most of the food they grow just get sent away
    To another place and they say it to our face
    If we didn't have them, we'd starve in just a few days
    But our way
    We are here to make our stand today
    And there's a lot of people out there that feel the same way
    Don't let them trick you, they're out to deceive
    But everyone is entitled to what they believe
    So I'll be chanting
    Mana `Ai, mahalo for the pa`i`ai
    In a time where we look through the lies
    Stare them in the eyes and told them that
    This truth wears no disguise
    Like `ōpelu in the sea
    A school we must be
    Planting kalo to feed our family
    Singing a song to help each other along
    Keiki O Ka `Āina
    Stand Strong
    Like `ōpelu in the sea

    Ok guys I think we're missing the main point of this video/song. Instead of discussing hippie lifestyle, hippie appearance, hippie superficiality, etc., it would be nice to pay more attention to the message implicit in the lyrics.
    Doesn't matter who you are, how you dress, what's you lifestyle or way of thinking. That's not gonna change the fact big corps are destroying and polluting the environment, specially in small regions where rural communities are more vulnerable -not to mention the bloody historical struggles stemming related to land appropriation unfair processes.
    Look I live in the city, I follow a pretty average way of life here in London and I still do care for the planet, climate change, food and conservation issues, etc. There's only one thing I don't care about: labels.
    We are all needed in this environmental struggle to save the planet. Everyone plays their role and the way we look like, speak, walk, dress, etc. is irrelevant. I think the message of this song is very strong and should be the main point of discussion that we all share.

    Honesty opens the conversation, truth sustains it. People who cannot (and will not) listen to reason would find their deviousness being tested, making them react in violence. Hatred stems from being faced with realness that's hard to handle.
