    My favorite Ukulele player and composer ever. This piece will forever be on my list of top best songs ever invented. It is a true masterpiece.

    I've never liked ukulele, but this really opened my eyes to that fact that it's greatest underrated instrument. Thank you1

    I have had the immense pleasure of jamming with Kalei. I'm twice his age which means I have practiced music twice as long. He is absolutley incredible. He puts me to shame. All I can compare his natural musical ability to is Mozart. A virtuoso. A prodigy. He is not merely reciting music. He creates his own on the fly. I am paralyzed when I witness him play. I'm a pretty good musician but Kalei is... I am without words.

      That’s also how I interpreted it as well! Interestingly, he mentioned he wrote it about the ocean in Hawaii which was kinda unexpected. Regardless, this song will forever remain a masterpiece and certainly my favourite song on the ukulele

    Indydh, thank you for that nice comment. I'm just thrilled to know that there are people out there like you who appreciate our simple approach to sound. It's just my opinion but, Kalei is too good to be embedded in a song with a full set of background instrumentation. I want to be able to hear the emotion of every magical note he masterfully makes that instrument sing.
    Thanks again,
    Vance the HI*Sessions sound guy

  • @asustal

  • @bromixsr
    @bromixsr 10 лет назад +8

    The song itself isn't to difficult in structure and maybe that is part of it's beauty. The strumming, on the other hand, is godlike.
    I mean who can listen to a ukulele and not smile, right?

  • @indydh
    @indydh 12 лет назад +1

    Kalei is such a wonderful talent. I only wish you could have produced his new album. Even if I'm not looking at your wonderful video production here and just listen, I much prefer your productions of his performances of The Unknown and Mach4 versus the over-produced mess on his new CD. So much more powerful and emotional, and clean.
