honestly nz is one the best countries in the world, its tiny and quiet but theres enough of everything. people see it as boring cos its small but the diversity is amazing, the vibe, the pride, the girls, the moari's, the gangs, the punks, the weed, the tui. i've lived in england for a total of 16 years and nz for 4, i live in england now but i can honestly say nz is better and its my home, can't wait to be back.
i miss coming home from school, turning on the TV to channel 4 i believe, and having this air on the music channel ugh.. man those days were so nostalgic.
This song hits me right in the gut. Three years ago I found the courage to leave a violent marriage of 27 years. My 23 yr old Son came with me. We just road tripped for 2 months and Six60 were always on the cd player. Life is now good but will never forget those days. Would love to go to a Six60 concert with him. Many memories of new beginings.
MAN!!!! i miss auckland ;( i miss jumping the fence to the park behind my house with my siblings and childhood friends!!! i miss blasting music while walking to the diarys!! i miss swimming in the local school pool with your closest mates!!!! i miss having lots of down to earth real islander friends!! i miss racing to the flying fox with my classmates so i could show off how tall i was!! i just miss living life!!!!!!
No. SOME kiwis do have great voices. But US KIWIS like to BE MODEST and NOT boast our SUPERIORITY. But, all countries have people with great voices. New Zealand is just as great as any other country. We're all great right? Including Australia. I know some stupid kiwis who hate Australia and Australians for no reason and they even think that all of New Zealand agrees with them but guess what... Australia is just as Awesome as NZ and the people are also great.
I'm a Caniwi since 34 years and am sharing Six60 music home here in Canada and I tell you people are bowled over by the Six60 band - their melodies, lyrics, soulful phresh sounds and not forgetting Stan Walker. Canadians are loving the NZ sounds - personally I am so over the American music scene. Now Canada, well that's another story - great sounds coming outta this country! :-) Go Six60 my favourite band! Best wishes for all your future songs and tours! You deserve all the success you achieve. More power to you~
Remember Americas music is all about sex, weed, drugs, girls, money and cars plus partying. While you listen to music here in NZ, we have a complete different view in music. More like reggae mixed with hip hop with lyrics about family and love we have for each and one another. Love as in family love. Not love as in making love. We talk about the other side of love. Not the dirty. If Yall know what I'm saying.
***** Amen. This is why musicians sound more attractive by singing about a different topic instead of the SAME ONE. I'm so proud to be from NZ. It makes NZ's reputation look real good etc etc. Hoping my brother would continue talking about the other side of life in his music. He's in a band called Where's Poly.
This song means so much too me because my grandparents came from the islands to NZ for a better life & everyday I am grateful for the sacrifices they made to get here. I will never forget my island roots #ProudKiwibornIslander
wedgewood ave mangere is a haati neighbourhood, I love the PI story of coming to NZ adding the island stylez and flavor enriches NZ from a maori boy, nga mihi
Just over a week ago I moved to Australia for good with my mum, leaving behind all I knew and all I had been. This song will be the song that keeps me going. New Zealand pride
Maybe the only Brazilian who has never been to NZ and still loves this band. I gotta listen to this song at least once a month. You guys are freaking awesome!
Coming back to this classic kiwi gem. Been living in Korea for 6 years and whenever I feel homesick this song just hits me right in all the feels. Takes me right back.
Yeah we're are the best country in saying the government wants to push us out contentaint to work and build the citys that are down so just keep in mind how confident new zealanders are with our will We are captain cooks discovery our best scientist are citizen of our land LOVE PEACE FAITHFUL are justice to government of all
Whoa, whoa, yeah Don't forget your roots, my friend Don't forget your family, yeah Don't forget your roots, my friend The ones who made you The ones who brought you here Don't forget your roots, my friend, yeah Don't forget your family, yeah Don't forget your roots, my friend, yeah Whoa, yeah So Johnny was a good man Armed with the power of his homeland And with his boots laced tight and a ticket in his hand Never to return home again So he lost what he knows and what all is right For a broken world and a world of lies But the days were numbered, relationships suffered He lost the faith of all those who mattered so Don't forget your roots, my friend Don't forget your family, yeah Don't forget your roots, my friend The ones who made you The ones who brought you here Don't forget your roots, my friend Don't forget your family, yeah Don't forget your roots, my friend, yeah Whoa So Jessie thought that she was all that Thought she was heading on the right track Left her mates at the gate as she walked away Ooh, never to look back again So she lost what she knows and what all is right For a brand new image and a world of lies But the days were numbered, relationships suffered She lost the faith of all those who mattered so Don't forget your roots, my friend, yeah Don't forget your family, yeah Don't forget your roots, my friend The ones who made you The ones who brought you here Don't forget your roots, my friend, yeah Don't forget your family, yeah Don't forget your roots, my friend, yeah Whoa, yeah Whoa, whoa, yeah Don't forget your roots, my friend Don't forget your family, yeah Don't forget your roots, my friend The ones who made you The ones who brought you here Don't forget your roots, my friend, yeah Don't forget your family, yeah Don't forget your roots, my friend, yeah Whoa, yeah
Far been over in Australia for 5-6 years, and listening to this just always brings me back home everytime im laying down with my eyes closed picturing all the whanau together having a mean as hangi,hahah how much? Too Much, how Meke? TUMEKE! Chuur Chuur!
This song goes deep. Expatriate of 15 years and 11500 miles from NZ. Lost touch with all my old friends and most of my family. Theres only so long you can fight time a distance, even the accent changes.
Im an aussie and i wish we had a band like this from australia, these guys are absolutely amazing. Im definitely hoping to catch them when they come over here in september
I'm so fuckin happy Six60's music has reached around the world. I'm hoping that the rare music and lyrics we have (lyrics that aren't about sex, drugs, alcohol, partying and money) will make NZ unique and different from the other countries. When we hear the US music, it's all about girls etc. While NZ, all about family and experiences.
Love his song !! I am a kiwi musician too recording my first album in the States at the moment and I listen to this song almost every morning when I am eating breakfast, such a good message... love Six60 !! x Emmy
I'm from Gisborne! We sang this song at assembly one day at school everyone loved this band its such a good inspiring song to be honest, I could listen to it all day!😂
I was recently in New Zealand with The United States Marine Corps and this was one of the first songs I heard I'm in love with six60 they're "sweet as" :D
I had a sub for maths today and she was from New Zealand and we started talking about stuff from there (I’m British) and she recommended six60 and damn I agree, this is a great song!
Yo heard this sweet song again after like 10 years, brought back so much memories of living in the islands 😢❤ one of the best tunes of this lifetime. Love Six Sixty so much!!
Got asked to show something that best represented my hometown and university. Showed this and won the competition instantly. With love, St Gallen Switzerland
Where you come from gives you your values to stand on dont forget your can also have new roots... but never forget where you come from... character builds are not made in a day....and life doesn't settle in a night.
Damn. I'm getting so nostalgic. Nz music was the best music. Even in Christmas! Listening to these songs were those songs you couldn't get annoyed with. Now days listening to songs on repeat you will get annoyed easily.
I'm from Dunedin and have drove past that flat so many times it is so cool to see them get so much fame and attention right next to there flat is a preschool and university Dunedin love u!
Lived in Dunedin for 20 years and first time moved in to a whole new place and just listening and watching the video makes you homesick and miss your hometown
Still a great song reaches the hearts and brings back memories to everyone who listens to it in 2017 and forever ❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️SIX60❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️
Honest guys, if u check NZ music and US music comments obviously all NZ is talking about is being proud of there boys and then there's US saying OMG MAKE A TWERK VIDEO!!
WOW - so this just randomly popped up on my Autoplay when listening to some NZ classics as I am a bit homesick right now. First time listener and what a great song. Even more surreal is that I am an Otago expat and lived just before 660 Castle St in one of the wee inlets - awesome
Fell in love with this song the first time I heard it when I was still living in New Zealand. It made me homesick and miss my family. I still love this song until now.
I remember the days living in the outskirts of the city where kids from every house in the neighbourhood would play outside together, families having a blast on Friday or Saturday nights at one of the family members house and even a walk down to the shops after school for some $1 packet lollies. Miss the good ol' days.

Islander friends are great- till they hit the bottle.
The Kiwi vibe is so legitimate, it's so beautiful. :3
I'm Kenyan, but this made me get in my feels! I accidentally found out about this song from Facebook. Amazing! Makes me want to move to NZ now!💛
You would love it here we're a chilled little country
us kiwis have the best voices! New Zealand all the way!!
J boot
because they were born to sing
No. SOME kiwis do have great voices. But US KIWIS like to BE MODEST and NOT boast our SUPERIORITY. But, all countries have people with great voices. New Zealand is just as great as any other country. We're all great right? Including Australia. I know some stupid kiwis who hate Australia and Australians for no reason and they even think that all of New Zealand agrees with them but guess what... Australia is just as Awesome as NZ and the people are also great.
Jaydn Kerr glad to hear that you aren't one of the idiots I mentioned. God bless 💙
Not all of us cuz...I can't sing for shit! Buahahaha
I'm a Caniwi since 34 years and am sharing Six60 music home here in Canada and I tell
you people are bowled over by the Six60 band - their melodies, lyrics, soulful phresh sounds
and not forgetting Stan Walker. Canadians are loving the NZ sounds - personally I am so
over the American music scene. Now Canada, well that's another story - great sounds coming
outta this country! :-) Go Six60 my favourite band! Best wishes for all your future songs and
tours! You deserve all the success you achieve. More power to you~
I'm 11 and I love the old songs/jams

Mean Caniwi Mean
えとーすみません。🙏
Is a Caniwi a Canadian/Kiwi? 🤔😊
As a Yorkshire man who moved to NZ with my whole family, this tune hits hard
_how come there is only 3M views the whole of NZ should be viewing this XD_
only few hundy thousands in NZ... the rest are sheeple...muhaha
What about this comment ^^
umm there's like 4mil in nz 😂
than all of the world should know this like how everyone knows *_Beyoncé Halo_* xD
Aιdα _That's me.. _*_hi!_*
This song means so much too me because my grandparents came from the islands to NZ for a better life & everyday I am grateful for the sacrifices they made to get here. I will never forget my island roots #ProudKiwibornIslander
wedgewood ave mangere is a haati neighbourhood, I love the PI story of coming to NZ adding the island stylez and flavor enriches NZ from a maori boy, nga mihi
Just over a week ago I moved to Australia for good with my mum, leaving behind all I knew and all I had been. This song will be the song that keeps me going.
New Zealand pride
How you doing now, bro?
Maybe the only Brazilian who has never been to NZ and still loves this band. I gotta listen to this song at least once a month. You guys are freaking awesome!
Coming back to this classic kiwi gem. Been living in Korea for 6 years and whenever I feel homesick this song just hits me right in all the feels. Takes me right back.
the type of song to make you call up your mom snd tell her you love her
100%
Yeah we're are the best country in saying the government wants to push us out contentaint to work and build the citys that are down so just keep in mind how confident new zealanders are with our will
We are captain cooks discovery our best scientist are citizen of our land LOVE PEACE FAITHFUL are justice to government of all
I did just that. Kiaora mum! You been drinking son? Well shit haha
When I was studying in NZ, this song reminds me my country. Now, this reminds me of NZ. Seriously, who am I actually?
Who's still vibing to this song in 2024??
All day every day
Whoa, whoa, yeah
Don't forget your roots, my friend
Don't forget your family, yeah
Don't forget your roots, my friend
The ones who made you
The ones who brought you here
Don't forget your roots, my friend, yeah
Don't forget your family, yeah
Don't forget your roots, my friend, yeah
Whoa, yeah
So Johnny was a good man
Armed with the power of his homeland
And with his boots laced tight and a ticket in his hand
Never to return home again
So he lost what he knows and what all is right
For a broken world and a world of lies
But the days were numbered, relationships suffered
He lost the faith of all those who mattered so
Don't forget your roots, my friend
Don't forget your family, yeah
Don't forget your roots, my friend
The ones who made you
The ones who brought you here
Don't forget your roots, my friend
Don't forget your family, yeah
Don't forget your roots, my friend, yeah
Whoa
So Jessie thought that she was all that
Thought she was heading on the right track
Left her mates at the gate as she walked away
Ooh, never to look back again
So she lost what she knows and what all is right
For a brand new image and a world of lies
But the days were numbered, relationships suffered
She lost the faith of all those who mattered so
Don't forget your roots, my friend, yeah
Don't forget your family, yeah
Don't forget your roots, my friend
The ones who made you
The ones who brought you here
Don't forget your roots, my friend, yeah
Don't forget your family, yeah
Don't forget your roots, my friend, yeah
Whoa, yeah
Whoa, whoa, yeah
Don't forget your roots, my friend
Don't forget your family, yeah
Don't forget your roots, my friend
The ones who made you
The ones who brought you here
Don't forget your roots, my friend, yeah
Don't forget your family, yeah
Don't forget your roots, my friend, yeah
Whoa, yeah

This song goes deep. Expatriate of 15 years and 11500 miles from NZ. Lost touch with all my old friends and most of my family. Theres only so long you can fight time a distance, even the accent changes.
True New Zealanders talk in kilometres.
@@cascade3769 True New Zealanders let their own back into the country and not see them rot in some foreign gutter
I was listening to some reggae song on Spotify then this song played. Best discovery I've ever had

I'm so fuckin happy Six60's music has reached around the world. I'm hoping that the rare music and lyrics we have (lyrics that aren't about sex, drugs, alcohol, partying and money) will make NZ unique and different from the other countries. When we hear the US music, it's all about girls etc. While NZ, all about family and experiences.

WOW - so this just randomly popped up on my Autoplay when listening to some NZ classics as I am a bit homesick right now. First time listener and what a great song. Even more surreal is that I am an Otago expat and lived just before 660 Castle St in one of the wee inlets - awesome
The feels are oozing out of this song. Everytime I listen to this song the nostalgia just peaks. Just going to hug my family, I'll be back.
Love this song still one of my favourite songs
The song I listen to while I'm watering my garden!
ok boomer
Lol good one!, obviously went right over Napi sans Roro.
Hey kiddo use ur Roro not ur Nono.
Fell in love with this song the first time I heard it when I was still living in New Zealand. It made me homesick and miss my family. I still love this song until now.
thankyou our young people,its the most beautiful song i have ever heard
I remember the days living in the outskirts of the city where kids from every house in the neighbourhood would play outside together, families having a blast on Friday or Saturday nights at one of the family members house and even a walk down to the shops after school for some $1 packet lollies.
Miss the good ol' days.
This brings back memories
This reminds me when I was living in NZ.I miss it so much.the beach,people and amazing peacefulness,hope to visit it soon
throw back to when I was 6 mother and daughter jamming out to this and many other chill reggae music and having singing comps
