I also heard this from the show 800 words. I feel like it speaks right to my soul. I am now a HUGE fan of SJD. If I ever get to NZ I’d love to see him perform live💕
This is a truly sublime piece of music that has a resonance all of it's own. A real NZ anthem for a world of change. We've got to stop playing bloody Dave Dobbin's 'Loyal' at replace it with this!!
Such a great song. Used on our CatWalk Trust advert with the split screen of guys in wheelchairs running/dancing and trampolining. The song is such a powerful part of the ad, love it! Thanks guys :)
all credit to the marketing gurus for knowing a great song to use for their beer ad...been humming this for weeks now until i found out who it was. Now i know i went out and bought the album. Wonderful,wonderful music.
"Wake up from your beautiful haze Rise up, smash your beautiful chains, climb out of your beautiful maze. Rise up, rise up Climb down from your beautiful tower, you know you won't make beautiful remains All that's left is a beautiful hour And its ours, ours .."
I already have a comment on here but I just want to say again, how much I fucking LOVE this song. PPL listening to this. Wish I knew you all personally.
Lyrics for Beautiful Haze It might be nice to smash the state but it’s getting late mostly I’m just working for the man It might be good to tell the boss that I don’t give a toss and to stick his lame arse job but I’m not sure that I can The universe is mostly fine with me It seems to the only place to be (Chorus) Wake up from your beautiful haze Rise up smash your beautiful chains Climb out of your beautiful maze Rise up! Rise up! Come down from your beautiful tower You know you won’t make beautiful remains All that’s left is a beautiful hour but it’s hours hours. I sit here listening at 5.1 when the day is done I look around at everything and it’s all good I nailed my to the lunchroom door make love not war They say just do it I just did it and it seemed I really cool Just a puny guy on a blue green wall Got no problem with that at all
true! good stuff mate....kiwi music mite not have that glossy american overtone but its way better for heaps of reasons...of which i wont go into rite now...and HI!! to the next dude to comment on this...kia ora
ok. here's the rule I work on. Everything is up for grabs unless it's kiwi stuff - support the kiwi. If it's not in stores iTunes will have it and it's cheaper than in the stores too! Else some places have their own sites like tikidub...:D
Yea-yah!!! I aint seen this video on tv much, C4 and Juice tv are all sh^t. ALT TV is the only channel I've seen this video on. Big up's to them and to the person that put it on RUclips.... Peace.

I come back to this song because its so beautiful. Thank You!!
I can see why Neil Finn enlisted SJD - an underrated genius
Love this call to find your authentic self
What a throwback! Remember my dad playing this on numerous road trips throughout the south island when I was a kid, such a great song
He writes such beautiful songs.
I had the pleasure of chatting to him a few years ago after a gig at Bodega...a real nice down-to-earth guy.
I could believe that 2.
2 me songs like this are more like sound tracks 2 life or maybe a family photo reel.
Good job SJD. Love this song =)
Yes heard this on the absolutely wonderful 800 words, brilliant song
Quite possibly my favourite song of the year... and it's only April.
SJD! More! More! More!
This is a truly sublime piece of music that has a resonance all of it's own.

"Wake up from your beautiful haze
Rise up, smash your beautiful chains, climb out of your beautiful maze.
Rise up, rise up
Climb down from your beautiful tower, you know you won't make beautiful remains
All that's left is a beautiful hour
And its ours, ours .."
I wish i could write a song as good as this.
I love this song :) Btw I don't live in NZ but I come from there
this is a classic Kiwi song.....even a classic West Auckland song....should be up there with Dave Dobbyn's "welcome home" ....
Cripes- it's better than that.
why can you only find this song on RUclips and nowhere else?
I already have a comment on here but I just want to say again, how much I fucking LOVE this song.
PPL listening to this. Wish I knew you all personally.
@kiwikathka Isn't Albany way out in Northern Auckland? It looks a lot closer than that, like just on the North Shore.
Love his jacket. Anyone know where I can get one?
smashing advice, specifically state and chains. this is my favourite kiwi anthem.
This is NZ
Lyrics for Beautiful Haze
It might be nice to smash the state
but it’s getting late
mostly I’m just working for the man
It might be good to tell the boss
that I don’t give a toss
and to stick his lame arse job
but I’m not sure that I can
The universe is mostly fine with me
It seems to the only place to be
(Chorus)
Wake up from your beautiful haze
Rise up smash your beautiful chains
Climb out of your beautiful maze
Rise up! Rise up!
Come down from your beautiful tower
You know you won’t make beautiful remains
All that’s left is a beautiful hour
but it’s hours hours.
I sit here listening at 5.1
when the day is done
I look around at everything and it’s all good
I nailed my to the lunchroom door
make love not war
They say just do it
I just did it and it seemed I really cool
Just a puny guy on a blue green wall
Got no problem with that at all
Word up!
Nice vid - love the song.
Where are they? It looks like they are at Oriental Bay in Wellington.
Where can I download this song? Does anyone know if it's available on itunes or anything?
A++++ for the song a
vintage youtube sound quality :D
@MacDuffdaddy its been thrased on tv enough as it is, let it fade into obscurity, keeps it pure bro
This a fantastic tune, but alas we are SJD-less in the UK

@GypsyDrowner well, true! But 3yrs ago when I made that comment it was still sorta fresh.

i bet it would feel good to tell my boss, that i dont give a toss, and he can stick his lame ass job but im not sure that i can!
And Monteiths have stolen it! Could be worse I guess
Nice sounds, but what a bizarre vid.
