Wow, this song really makes me appreciate our country a little bit more! I wasn't born in New Zealand but I grew up here all my life so its basically my home and a home to many people of different ethnic groups. Thank you to Stan Walker and everyone involved in the making of this beautiful track and music video because you give the world a glimpse of why we call ourselves Kiwis and why we are proud to be one.
Im Tongan, born and raised in NZ. this is our anthem. we play and sing this song with pride. The funniest is when we have drinkups till sunrise the next morning, this is our jam lol. Proud to be living in NZ
@@Nzpro2354 when people say anthem they mean an iconic song that is representative of their nation and people. Like E Papa, Slice of Heaven, Don’t forget your Roots etc.
I Come from Denmark, but i lived in Aotearoa for almost 8 month. I just Discovered this song..... and to be honest, i feel like its speaking to me, that i Belong in Aotearoa❤️ i wanna stay here forever, learn Maori culture learn the language. EVERYTHING!!! I LOVE Aotearoa❤️
i am from Malaysia and today is the first time i heard this song (in full) and i swear whenever a song such as this cross my path, I would definitely tear up, idk why? I dont even understand te reo (wanted to learn, but cant afford the tuition fee) but yeah, pray i will succeed at learning te reo someday. much love.
Remember, This is a country that cannot be taken over, Breathe Fire to the trees, At least we care for one another. And I am proud to see our country presents in a song that has meaning to life. I don't care about Australia claiming our stuff as theirs... At least we have one another! and we all stick together in the rough times and Stan, This is a Beautiful Song and a amazing way to presents New Zealand as a country that people will finally notices and I am proud to say I am a New Zealand myself and I want the world to finally redeem the peace in all countries and land, to the trees, and to our amazing creatures like the Kiwi... Thank you. ~Tahlia
Your completely right i'm a kiwi myself (new Zealander) this country is a peaceful native place we are very proud to live here, we love our enemy and treat others the way we want to be treated. This is our home Aotearoa!!
I am Hawaiian born and raised in Hawaii relocated to Tennessee and discovered this beautiful song on RUclips. Would love to visit Aoteora one day with my husband and children.

Can I just say, I'm South African and this song speaks to me on a level that most South African music has never reached!!! The fact that you named the song after New Zealand, incorporate your National Anthem, the beautiful scenery (WOW!!), sense of community, the joy and love of family, the way you appeal to your whakapapa..... Everything makes my blood sing in a HUNDRED different harmonies. I think I might belong there a little...
my dad born in tonga raised in NZ, now we live in Hawaii! i love aoteraoa and glad i get to visit often. i just surfed there at piha beach this year what a beauty that place is, kia kaha!
For me, it's one of the best songs and videos to come out of NZ in a long time, since Dave Dobbyn's - Slice of Heaven song! Oh and Maisey Ruka's - Tangaroa Whakamautai is an awesome song + music video!
Kia Ora. From Atlanta, never been to NZ but have spent over 1100 hrs on zoom with tangata pai o Maori. They have taught me much te reo Maori. Best to whanau in NZ.
My girlfriend and I were listening to a French radio reportage on New Zealand. This song was at the end of the Podcast and we looked at each other like “what the…” before jumping on our phones to Shazam it. The melody, the rhythm, the energy of this music is absolutely unique, it is an elevation almost like a sanctification. And oh boy, the Maori language looks like it was created to be sung. Anyway, this music track is now my morning boost. A respectful salute from the other side of the planet.
Fun fact: music is a VERY strong part of Māori culture, and there was no written version of the language until NZ was colonized by Britain. Māori folk welcomed people into their tribes, sent family off to battles, began battles with, showed peace and much more things by doing a Haka. Which is a song of sorts i suppose.... ? If i got anything wrong someone tell me and ill fix it, i may be from NZ but you can never know everything ❤
theprogaming Wizard we don't have many but they're pretty powerful by themselves and we are( all of NZ) were pretty powerful by ourselves, this is what being a kiwi really means. I love being a kiwi and a Maori

True, caused by human greed but we can still do something bout it to keep Aotearoa's natural beauty treasurable and adored for all generations. I'm a fan.
I'm Malaysian. I miss New Zealand so much. such a beautiful country and I'm in love with this song and Māori Ki Te Ao ❤️❤️ hope that I'll be there again
Am almost 2 yrs here in Aotearoa. Before covid came. Feeling lost and away from home. But, staying here makes me appreciate how beautiful it is ,the country and people. It has many challenges just like any other country have. but just proud that meeting many amazing people here.
Best version I’ve heard. Yes. Age 62 and practiced thus at school, cultural class b and church. Melbourne life for ~20 years. Among other countries prior. Love it!
With all the division I have felt in NZ over the past few years I have found this music video a great help. It's a reminder of how we are still a bunch of individuals working towards one goal of a happy healthy country. I watch most nights with my kids so they can see how this country should be. If it comes to it I'll vote this for the new version of our national anthem!! Thanks again for capturing the true kiwi culture ❤
New Zealand has always been my dream place to visit one day..This song gives me an insight of the wonders of the beautiful country..Beautiful song!!! 😍❤
I worked in NZ for half a year and it was an amazing experience. The people, the culture... Everyone was so welcoming and it still feels like a second home, although I've already been back in my home country for two years now. Its weird that I've got a feeling of homesickness for a country I was only a guest in
I like grew up with this song and just heard it again for the first time in about 5 yrs and i still know it word for word. This song always just makes me realize how beautiful and amazing our country is. I couldnt imagine growing up anywhere else apart from our beautiful, amazing country❤❤❤❤❤

I didn’t understand a word but I just love the song and the video. It made my spirit shake with vigor. We lost most of our indigenous tongue. Except for a couple of world here and there. Keep making your beautiful music. Blessings from Puerto Rico. Boriken 🫶🏼
I’m so happy to see so many wonderful comments about NZ I feel so happy to live in such a beautiful,wonderful,amazing country Lots of love to everyone in NZ and around the world (btw happy that NZ won the America’s cup too Happy to be a little kiwi go NZ 🇳🇿 and lots of love from a fellow kiwi
Watching this as a Kiwi who hasn't been back to NZ in over 5 years makes me homesick like mad. Having friends and family here in China definitely makes it easier but...turangawaewae.
Kiwi? More like Maori I love my culture and everything in it you may be thinking whats the difference between Kiwi and Maori? There is a huuggee difference! Im so happy that Stan Walker, Ria Hall, Troy Kingi And The One And Only Maisey Rika were able to make this song makes me very proud.
Maoris Are Actuals Maori like people who love the culture Kiwis are people who have bprn in NZ but like know nothing/doesnt Care about their culture its kind of difficult to explain
This is a kiwi song. Celebration of Māori language. It’s our heritage. I am not a Māori but I love there music and songs. I hope to learn Māori when I can. So please anyone be respectful on this . Thank you Stan family for amazing song . And your singers. Beautiful voices
I'm Samoan but born here in New Zealand but I learnt how to speak English and maori first before my own language lol and no matter where you go around the world it can never beat the landscapes and the people of Aotearoa the most friendliest and coolest people ever proud to be a New Zealander!! This song says it all
This song gets me emotional every time I listen to it. Just a massive smile throughout the whole song and a bit of a tear, haha. The harmonizing of the artists is perfection. Such a beautiful song.
This is my hometowns anthem! When we at family gatherings shed parties or at the lake or beach the whanau play this aotearoa forever! Glad to see our Maori people representing!! xx
Missing My Beautiful NZ..Family & Friends. This 🎵 Song is calling me home..so Proud of my Hertitage. Gidday from Beautiful Rockingham Perth Western Australia 🇦🇺

I was 2 when my parents migrated from China to Aotearoa. Not NZ born but definitely NZ bred. Give my heart and soul to the All Blacks, and maybe the Warriors
I love being NZ citizen and have been living in NZ all my life since 1996! NZ is beautiful, free for all cultures and is Free to be whatever you are! I feel like I'm home and wouldn't think of leaving it! I'm proud to be NZ citizen! 🙌🏻❤️
I'm new to the "Stan Walker Fan Club". Discovered him when I was searching for a doc to watch & came across his doc showing his rise to fame but also telling about his harsh, abusive childhood and the cancer genes that run in his family, making it necessary for him and other family members to have their stomachs removed. I have so much admiration for Stan, for surviving his childhood, working hard towards success in his career and for facing cancer head-on, doing what was necessary to live and be healthy. So much respect for this young man!
On had theme dinner BBQ on the beach at the resort i work in here in Fiji🇫🇯🇫🇯mix of OZ & NZ in the house...as soon as i played this song Half of those on the beach stood up cheered to the song n sang it with passion🇫🇯🇫🇯🇫🇯🇫🇯

Hi Liz H,👋
thanx for the share,👍It's awesome.💯💥🙏
Respect for Typing the whole thing down😀
There's one thing I hope will happen in 3 years nearly finishing cleaning New Zealand's rivers
Like if you want this to happen
And to get Maui's dolphins population up from 50!
True, caused by human greed but we can still do something bout it to keep Aotearoa's natural beauty treasurable and adored for all generations. I'm a fan.
Same I swear to god I agree
With all of you's
Been 5 yrs
The beaches and mountains are soo stunning!!! Lovee the song :)
Proud to be Kiwi. And part Maori ❤️🧡💛💚🩵💜
Haha 😂
I like it
can you be my friend fo ever please from tiana
Oh so you have a little human in you
I’m 1/16 Maori
I'm a Papua New Guinean and i love this song! 😭🔥 Nothing but Aroha ❤️ for the Maori people and Te Reo Maori language 🔥
I think that .
Aw :D it always makes me so happy to see people from other countries who enjoy Māori waiata. Glad you liked it 😁Lots of Aroha to you guys as well ❤️
I'm Malaysian. I miss New Zealand so much. such a beautiful country and I'm in love with this song and Māori Ki Te Ao ❤️❤️ hope that I'll be there again
Am almost 2 yrs here in Aotearoa.
Before covid came.
Feeling lost and away from home.
But, staying here makes me appreciate how beautiful it is ,the country and people.
It has many challenges just like any other country have.
but just proud that meeting many amazing people here.
NZ is a land that portrays kindess & Love. We are a safe haven for all those seeking acceptance in this world. And I for one am proud to be a Kiwi.
Club penguin master Just because you're life is terrible, don't put other people down.
Club penguin master why? Because she's a from Aoteroa?

Best version I’ve heard. Yes. Age 62 and practiced thus at school, cultural class b and church.
Melbourne life for ~20 years. Among other countries prior.
Love it!
With all the division I have felt in NZ over the past few years I have found this music video a great help. It's a reminder of how we are still a bunch of individuals working towards one goal of a happy healthy country. I watch most nights with my kids so they can see how this country should be. If it comes to it I'll vote this for the new version of our national anthem!! Thanks again for capturing the true kiwi culture ❤

It's amazing how similar this is to Tongan! I live the fact I can understand the words! Also I hear the NZ anthem! This is an awesome song!
YES!!
THIS SONG IS SO CATCHY! I’m not Māori, but I am from New Zealand! Absolute legand.
Am from new Zealand 🇳🇿 like if you are
YES!!!!
Am not from New Zealand but I grew up there
Am New Zealander Too
I am
YYYYYYEEEEEESSSSSS!!!!!!!!!!!!! Am from New Zealand so CHILL
I worked in NZ for half a year and it was an amazing experience. The people, the culture... Everyone was so welcoming and it still feels like a second home, although I've already been back in my home country for two years now. Its weird that I've got a feeling of homesickness for a country I was only a guest in
Aotearoa is the best country in the world!~ (in my opinion) Who's with me?
ME
Me I also live in Aotearoa
Me too
period

I like grew up with this song and just heard it again for the first time in about 5 yrs and i still know it word for word. This song always just makes me realize how beautiful and amazing our country is. I couldnt imagine growing up anywhere else apart from our beautiful, amazing country❤❤❤❤❤

I didn’t understand a word but I just love the song and the video. It made my spirit shake with vigor. We lost most of our indigenous tongue. Except for a couple of world here and there. Keep making your beautiful music. Blessings from Puerto Rico. Boriken 🫶🏼
Full Tongan raised in Aotearoa. Proud asf to say I'm Kiwi. Malo 🙏🏾🙌🏾

I feel so happy to live in such a beautiful,wonderful,amazing country
Lots of love to everyone in NZ and around the world (btw happy that NZ won the America’s cup too
Happy to be a little kiwi go NZ 🇳🇿 and lots of love from a fellow kiwi
Watching this as a Kiwi who hasn't been back to NZ in over 5 years makes me homesick like mad. Having friends and family here in China definitely makes it easier but...turangawaewae.
We need more modern Maori music like this.

Kiwi? More like Maori I love my culture and everything in it you may be thinking whats the difference between Kiwi and Maori? There is a huuggee difference! Im so happy that Stan Walker, Ria Hall, Troy Kingi And The One And Only Maisey Rika were able to make this song makes me very proud.
I know right. This is like my number 1 waiata/ Song at the moment
Maori is a part of the Kiwi culture. So anything Maori is Kiwi as well.
Thats how I see it anyway
Maoris Are Actuals Maori like people who love the culture Kiwis are people who have bprn in NZ but like know nothing/doesnt Care about their culture its kind of difficult to explain
***** I'm on the laptop and no idea how to do those things on a laptop so yeah :)
This is a kiwi song. Celebration of Māori language. It’s our heritage. I am not a Māori but I love there music and songs. I hope to learn Māori when I can. So please anyone be respectful on this . Thank you Stan family for amazing song . And your singers. Beautiful voices

This song says it all
No matter how many times iv listened to this, I can never get tired of listening to this song. And I’m not even from New Zealand.
This song gets me emotional every time I listen to it. Just a massive smile throughout the whole song and a bit of a tear, haha. The harmonizing of the artists is perfection. Such a beautiful song.

I'm new to the "Stan Walker Fan Club". Discovered him when I was searching for a doc to watch & came across his doc showing his rise to fame but also telling about his harsh, abusive childhood and the cancer genes that run in his family, making it necessary for him and other family members to have their stomachs removed. I have so much admiration for Stan, for surviving his childhood, working hard towards success in his career and for facing cancer head-on, doing what was necessary to live and be healthy. So much respect for this young man!
I’m an American yet I was born and raised here because my parents immigrated here I love this country!!!
