I just heard this for the first time and you had me ugly crying the entire waiata. Te haerenga ki ngā Reo i tīmata ki au i Maramatoru. I just wanted you to know that i heard it at a time I'm struggling in my haerenga & hearing this is exactly what i needed in this moment. Te ataahua ki ngā kupu. He taonga ki tō Waiata koe.
I'm just discovering this young man because of "Origin" and "I am."Such a powerful and beautiful voice and earth-shattering song and video. May God give your people the strength to fight to the New Zealand 🇳🇿 government in the stopping the erasure of such a beautiful culture and language.
I listen to to this often, being a guy from Scotland I don't know about what that you sing in your own language but the spirit of the song speaks to me bruv... powerful rendition, cheers 😎🍻🏴
As a 73 yer old Aussie who followed your path through Idol and more, including your health battles, I can honestly say you still move me every time. This song and your rendition are simply inspiring!

Was a blessing to have met you.. Beautiful voice, beautiful man, beautiful family.. My wife and I watched what happened, cancer and all… Love to see you again..
BROTHER YOU ARE A SURVIVOOR AND WHAT A SOONG MY BRO IM AUSTRALIAN THROUGH AND THROUGH BUT LOVE MAORI CULTURE IN EVERY ASPECT OF THE WORD. I THINK YOUR AN AMAZING HUMAN BEING BRO NOT FOR ONLY WHAT YOU HAVE ENDURED AND BEEN THROUGH BUT FOR DOING YOUR DOCUMENTARY KIA KAHA TAMA MUCH AROHA TO YOU
Hi Stan. I was so inspired by your cancer recovery story. It really strengthened me and helped me get through my cancer . Thank you for sharing. Praise Jesus !
I’ve been a fan from the first time I saw you on idol and winning. A proud Kiwi/Cook islander living in Brisbane. Listening to Reo in song takes me home every time, Thankyou for that. ✊🏾✊🏾✊🏾🏝🏝🏝🇳🇿🇳🇿🇳🇿
I'm stuck in Melbourne because of MIQ restrictions and border restrictions back home in NZ. I listen to this waiata every day to keep me connected to my beloved country, tears flowing. Why are you letting people in that are not even born in NZ Jacinda. Thankyou Stan for keeping me strong with this beautiful waiata.
Merci pour cette chanson magnifique. Je suis d'origine Polynésienne née à Tahiti Papeete et vie en Autriche depuis 30 ans. Cette magique chanson me fait retourner au Fenua. Je suis très fière de mon peuple de mes ancêtres et surtout de mes cultures que j'ai le plus grand Respect. Mauruuru Stan et Mauruuru to'u mau TUPUNA.🙏🙏🙏👏👏👏😘😘😘❤❤❤
The spirit in this song that comes from your voice brings heaven into my marriage, into my home, into my heart, and into the hearts that I touch with love. Forever and ever.
I remember going to a festival where Stan headlined, I was there to see other acts and when Stan came on I remembered thinking to myself “oh it’s just Stan walker” but when he started to sing live I was absolutely blown away just pure energy and his vocals demanded your full attention.
Every time you sing it's magic. You have one of the closest voices to an angel on Earth, I have no doubt about it. The band and the arrangements are also insane! They are absolutely amazing. Everything sounds spectacular, mixed to perfection and sang with soul. Please never stop sharing your gift, we need it especially now in times like these 💜
Kia ora to those in Aotearoa, aroha from the hills of West Virginia, USA. I’ve been attempting to learn Te Reo Maori…. I can halfway pronounce some words ( and I immensely apologize if I have misspelled or misused any words, it’s a difficult language to learn as an English speaker). The language just resonates on a level that I can not explain. I am fascinated and deeply respectfully to the culture. Some people say they were born in the wrong era, I believe I was born on the wrong continent. Aroha to Aotearoa.
Kia Ora, Nga mihi for your kind words but I just wanted to tell you, it’s possible to become Maori besides being born into it 😊 Māori is a way of life & it’s own world view. The language is so distinct & rare, I think it stirs something deeply primal to Pakeha’s Wairua. (Non Māori’s spirit) You’re doing so well! Keep it up 🔥 Pro tip is; our vowels are pronounced differently to how English is pronounced. Please don’t be offended but I taught my son those vowel sounds via Takaro Tribe on YT. It’s a Māori kids show but super insightful 🫶🏽 my nan was a kohanga reo teacher who helped revive the Reo through children. They based a lot of current curriculum from hers & others works. Also Gisborne’s mayor is of Asian descent & speaks fluently haha! It makes me proud to be Māori 💯 Haere Mai x
Thank you so much, I will definitely watch that show. I need all the help I can get. I’m starting from scratch. Also please the next time you go to your marae, let them know that your efforts to spread your tikanga have not gone unnoticed nor unappreciated. Thank you for your time and patience. Aroha from the hills of West Virginia.
Kia ora, I hope you see this. I’m so happy to say that a member of the All Blacks digital media team contacted me and I very well might be in a video that they want to put out about fans of the team from around the world. I made sure to write your screen name down so I could tell the gentleman about you and a few others that have helped me in learning about your country and culture. Aroha from the hills of West Virginia. And thank you from the depths of my heart for allowing me a chance to learn from you.
So beautiful, strong, powerful. So much love. Please release an album all Maori songs. I’m Filipino American, but this resonates waaaay beyond. Thank you so much
I am not Maori, but I LOVE this song so much . Stunning, Stan is one of my fave male vocalists ever. His vocals are unreal 💥💥 We love you Stan , Aotearoa loves you.
Brother I just heard you for the first time. It was this video that a channel on Bitchute played at the beginning of their show. Your voice and your music is extremely moving. I started to cry and had no idea why. Thank you for sharing your gift.

Wow, just Wow, what a voice and the The Levites are just music to my ears. I was born in New Zealand and have lived in Australia for many years but this brings me right back home.
I listen to this song every morning or when I feel discouraged ..& disconnected to my culture. It reminds me of where I come from and that I am never alone or lost....I am ... a warrior... a survivor 🙏🏽💪🏾👊🏾🤲🏾❤💛mahalo nui for the inspiration.
This music reaches your soul deep down, being of African descent I feel every word. Thank you Stan and The Levities, for sharing you music and translating the words in the same song 🙏🏽God Bless Y’all 🙌🏽🙌🏽

Stan you have truly been an inspiration for me whilst I was healing and re-learning to love myself again. You are a beautiful reflection of God children, and your gift to sing songs so soulful and from the heart naturally cannot be practiced it is a God given talent, that can only be comprehended by believers of our faith. Keep up the good mahi, your intentional, directive and purpose driven. It worked for me. Mauriora Che che che

Stan you have truly been an inspiration for me whilst I was healing and re-learning to love myself again. You are a beautiful reflection of God children, and your gift to sing songs so soulful and from the heart naturally cannot be practiced it is a God given talent, that can only be comprehended by believers of our faith. Keep up the good mahi, your intentional, directive and purpose driven. It worked for me.
Mauriora
