a totara tree is significant to us Māori in New Zealand, when we say a totara tree has fallen, that means someone in our family has died. I totara tree is very important to my people, it signifies your roots, and the branches that spread from it are your kids. Glad you love LAB, we love them too. When Covid is done, hopefully we can share them with the USA.
It also talks to the depth of our cultural roots being like that of the totara tree, we are so interconnected as a people, it is our culture that keep us firmly grounded on this land, the deeper your roots run the stronger your tree/community becomes so it can with stand whatever it's environment throws at it, and when we look at the interconnectedness of the roots of trees we can see why we use this metaphor "ka hinga he totara i te wao nui o Tane" (excuse the missing macrons), translates roughly to "A great tree has fallen in the expansive world of Tane"(who is God of the forest and used to be mankind before he was demoted)meaning we as a interconnected people will know and FEEL the loss and strength of those missing roots and the community structure will never be the same again. hahahha sorry about the long winded korero I just felt like elaborating abit more on the depth of this particular korero because it's deeper meaning is so beautiful :) Mauri ora
@@whanautakarangi2702 The song is actually about my uncle Tait borrowing my Dad's slug gun, then giving it back all broken. JiuJitsu knows and so does Brad.HaHa

Im amazed that ur amazed.. Yes yes yes the lyrics are meaningful and honest.. So true for us NOW from ouR ancestral past. WE R MAORI STANDING STRONG AND TALL ALSO PROUD.. ALWAYS&4EVA MI PEEPS😘😍
There’s reactions to L.A.B, and then there’s “MAAAAAAAN OH MY GAHD! WOOOOOOOOOOW!!!” reactions to L.A.B. Basically bro, you need to build a playlist of L.A.B tracks you haven’t heard and do a livestream reaction to them all. Even find the best new zealand songs and then do that too! Your reactions are way too awesome on our boys bro!
So this is song is a awesome way of saying who we are as Māori (Native NZ) and what our tipuna lived threw. And Mātua Tōtara tree is our oldest Ancestor whos roots are still on our land(whenua). The last known life today. he is very protected who took on our blood of war. We are the only country that defeated the British. They had guns we had soul and strength. Its still goes on today.
Dude I love your vibe so I hit subscribe.... L.A.B is my fav band!! Check out any of their songs.. they are all fantastic.. heres a few.... Shes Gone; Controller; Oldman; Shadows; In the Air; For the Love of Jane; The Watchman; Boy King; Umulash; Heat....
