If no one else has mentioned this, but Stan recorded this song as a memorial to his friend Sean Wainui who passed away last year. Sean was a top rugby player with a young family and went way before his time. Agreat tribute from Stan, his band The Levites and backing singers The Standard from lil ol New Zealand. Kei te mihi ki a koutou.
He didn’t at first it was just a cover but Sean ended up passing away later and was a big influence on Stan so he changed the title dedicating it to him
my late wife loved him took our son to see him locally and sat right next to Stans mother and wife. my wife said definitely able to see where he gets his beautiful nature from after talking with his mother. we played one of his songs at her funeral "Aotearoa" you guys should check out the English and Maori versions
Another great reaction to this video, glad you've shown your wife. I liked your first original reaction because you could see that you were amazed and you couldn't contain your expressions and reaction lol. Hope to see you reaction to more Stan.
we love our maori king, mr stan walker.. lemme tell you how baffled yet excited i was when my mum and i got pictures from my grandmother posing casually with stan as if he wasn't this big artist bc my maori ppl know that we're all basically family and we just bond like its nothing
What an awesome reaction video. Your wife Sir is beautiful and the reaction faces and response to the video is so cool. You guys rock and you have an amazing voice too. Stan Walker's song 'Bigger' is hearty too.
Ooo I like watching new reactions to Stan video's. Yes definately react to Amazing Grace with the Levites Don't dream its over. Whakaaria Mai. Unchained melody. I'll watch anything Stan. Been a fan since 2009
Another awesome reaction ka Mau te wehi! Stan and the Levites are Tumeke singing Amazing Grace as well, you should it out! New Light! Is another ❤ arohanui
aw your gorgeous wife's reaction when the Levites came in strong...lol Great reaction again Brad. Loved it the first time and could watch this again and again. Love from Australia.
Very proud of our stan. If you haven't already, could you do a reaction to stan walkers AMAZING GRACE and DON'T DREAM ITS OVER please, two great songs sung by stan
Yall fire also keeping it 100. I get emotional and those bumps every time!! This is my 8th straight listening and watching these reactions. God is so good!
Brad, your wifes a crack up (hilarious), her mannerisms/animated reaction reminds me so much of 60s/70s American Actress/Comedian Ruth Buzzi. Checkout - Don't Dream It's Over (Crowded House cover), Circle Of Life, Bigger (&/or TUA Maori version) You might also want to checkout this one with your wife - Teeks "First Time"
In a way he is polynesian but just to say polynesians represents majority of the south pacific islands like samoa, tonga, raro etc.. and he is from the biggest poly island new zealand and hes a maori
Maori styles right there , yeaa boi we got those vocals , singing is part of our culture , Haka is also part of our culture also , maybe take a look at " beat by dre the haka , it will open you up as to who Stan is and where he comes from , enlightenment of cultures from around the world is always a good thing . thank you both for reacting to Stan and the Levites much love to you both , arohanui kia koutou.
Please please please react to them do ‘Inside Out’ (especially if you want to hear more from the backup singers, and definitely his cover of ‘The Circle of Life’!!! Thanks from New Zealand (where they are from) Stan is Māori and I believe his backup singers are polynesian. 🙏🏼❤️
You’re song sounds nice. Stan won Aus Idol some years ago although he’s from NZ. He’s had his stomach removed due to cancer a few years ago and manages his health quite well.
Yes Stan is Polynesian of Maori descent from New Zealand (although he was technically born in Aussie). Stan's voice is heaven sent, his range is phenomenal, powerful and clean. Arguably NZ premier male vocalist. This song was performed at Parachute Studios in NZ, the backing group are "The Standard" members Ani Nuku, Lilo Asiata, Nathan Peseta, and the Session band is "The Levites" made up of Christmas Ropati (Guitar) and the Nansen brothers Ross (Drums), Jacob (Keyboard) and Junior (Bass). So glad you've jumped into the baptismal pool of Stan Walkers musical spirituality🙄., Here's a few suggestions from Stan's sea of musical discography - Don't Dream It's Over, Circle Of Life, Amazing Grace, Bigger, New Light, Inside Out or his solo music Black Box, Take It Easy, New Takeover, Pillow Talk, Aotearoa, Thank You, Choose ft Hamo Dell, Don't Worry Baby, Come Back Home, Tennessee Whiskey etc.
kia ora, Stan Walker and co are kiwis from NZ and have Maori origin.”Hey now”and “He Kakano ahau”are good listening with his background group The Levites.
If you liked that, I'm not sure if anyone else has suggested it but check out his other songs with the Levites, Amazing Grace, Don't dream it's over Crowded House cover (my personal fave).. 😉
This is my favourite reaction video you two are entertaining 😂 your accent, and comments are so funny in a good way... 'shocked the 💩 out of me' lol - yes they are Polynesian, from New Zealand 🇳🇿 🎵🎶
Ayo that’s CRAZY that your wife asked/kinda knew that he was Polynesian. Yes he is Polynesian. He’s from New Zealand which makes him a KIWI!! #NZ #StanWalker #Levites
Ka mau te wehi (awesome) reaction to Stan, Levites and the band. All extremely talented artists in their own right. Meri Kirihimete and blessings to you fm NZ

So glad you've jumped into the baptismal pool of Stan Walkers musical spirituality🙄.,
Here's a few suggestions from Stan's sea of musical discography -
Don't Dream It's Over, Circle Of Life, Amazing Grace, Bigger, New Light, Inside Out or his solo music Black Box, Take It Easy, New Takeover, Pillow Talk, Aotearoa, Thank You, Choose ft Hamo Dell, Don't Worry Baby, Come Back Home, Tennessee Whiskey etc.
