My Uncle directed this movie. It's loosely based on my mum's generation and how times were when my great grand mother was around and our big ol' Fijian family. It didn't go down too well with my nan, because of the dramatisation but she loves this song and I do too. Vinaka Vakalevu from the Fraser family Hollie.
Been in Perth Australia for some time... lost a marriage, winning with a new Aussie soul mate, reaching new heights, Maori girl with a blue eyed tane, we are in our 50s.... I’m truly hoping for the best outcome. We are both set in our ways, just be positive, where theres love the life. It’s better to have been loved than never have been loved 🥰 at all.
I'm an ex-pat and only discovered this song through the compilation CD Great New Zealand Song Book. I love her voice ..wow. and then to find there's a video that would make me homesick. was something else..
I'ts all about banding together through the high times n bad the ugly as a family unit keeping cultural family ties strong and living life no matter what it throws down in your path... some of us aint blessed to have that solid unit u dont no how good u got it until its all gone but all good i still love the movie No 2 and the song is Meke az..
Heart filling yet heart breaking at the same time beautiful song, this song was played at my great grandmothers tangi and fuu does it bring back the tears but then i listen to the words and i feel better again. R.I.P ANITA KATHLEEN HETET 💚💚 THIS ONES FOR YOU MY NANNY 😘😘😣💚
Such a beautiful representation of some of the Whanau's and communities we have here in NZ. So much misrepresentation in the news for the Maori. Soulful vocals too. 10/10
I remember I watched this movie but couldn't recall whether this song was in it. Watching Tiktok today and this song was the background music. Had to search YT for it. What a brilliant song. Beautiful music.
Miss these good old NZ back in the days. Simpler times. Big backyard for cricket games and BBQ nights. Unfortunately most of these houses are gone replaced with apartments and most of us have moved on to OZ. 😢😢. Miss ya Mount Roskill.
Oh Hollie, I love this song, your voice, so beautiful, soulful, wonderfully talented, and grew up going to Northcote College, WTG, talented kiwis all round. Written by another talented artist, I think that it shows him playing in front, sitting down Don McGlashan, sorry if I have misspelt it, he was in kiwi band called the M? LOL, soz.
She and other Wahine singers of Aotearoa should all get together and make a CD called " Wahine Waiata O Aotearoa" and sell it. That would be great. Thanx.
roskil ae yea you have ae awsome single dis be my fav......... youll gooooooooooo.........farrrrrrrrrr with that jagged vocie lol wish you da best for da future ae maori meannnnnnnnnnn woop woop.....
This might have been called out before (and could be a piss take) but U2 sure didn't write this song. It was none other than 'The Don' aka Don McGlashan.
This makes me immensely proud to be a Kiwi. You're one of us, Hollie, such pure Vocals, mesmerizing and this truly tears at the heart strings.
bathe in the river awesome song a good movie no 2.
This makes me miss home 😢 kiwi living abroad here.

Your Right it was the Mighty Don Mcglashan who wrote this song.

Surprised to see you use newsprint cos we only ever used banana leaves to pack our food into steam baskets
Who was the Mt Raskil Preservation Soceity again???

Does anyone know where I can purchase a copy of this song? Can't find it on Amazon or I-tunes

Is that Don McGlashan in the middle of this?
It certainly should be because he wrote the song, and played in it 😁
