[QUOTE="New Leaf, post: 682683, member: 19522"] Okay searched and searched but couldn't find a backyard video, so I found the next best thing, a compilation of Hawaiian artists performing in beautiful scenery throughout the islands. The music is much like country with its own twist of Hawaiian rhythms and song, plus the magic of slack key guitar. Hawaiians have a way of tuning their guitars and dancing their fingers across them to create melodies that sound like several instruments combined, yet it is one musician playing. [MEDIA=youtube]zj3YhR2-QwQ[/MEDIA] Hawaiian songs have great meaning. They all tell stories, and many times will have hidden meaning or kaona, for instance, when singing of flowers, the composer is also referring to a beloved. I am thankful for the blessings, to have lived here and experienced what I have. Although it is difficult being so far from my family, I would not trade my life here for anything....... Ka Naʻi Aupuni (The Conquerors of the Nation) - William Kahino Composed in 1906,this song honors the great chiefs of the islands. Keawe of Hawaiʻi, Piʻilani who ruled the Hono bays of Maui; Kākuhihewa, chief of Oʻahu; Manokalanipō, king of Kauaʻi. The words are attributed to Kamehameha Nui on his death bed, as he counselled the chiefs surrounding him. They all agreed that only righteousness would preserve the nation of Hawaiʻi. Stanza 4 of the hui is our state motto taken from a speech by Kamehameha III, given at Kawaiahaʻo Church, July 31, 1843. E Hawaiʻi nui kuauli E nā hono aʻo Piʻilani *(ʻO Maui nui a Kama) Oʻahu o Kākuhihewa Kauaʻi o Manokalanipō Hui:E naʻi wale nō ʻoukou I kuʻu pono ʻaʻole pau I ke kumu pono o Hawaiʻi E mau ke ea o ka ʻāina i ka pono E mau ke ea o ka ʻāina i ka pono I hoʻokahi kahi ka manaʻo I hoʻokahi kahi puʻuwai I hoʻokahi kahi ke aloha E mau ke ea o ka ʻāina i ka pono E mau ke ea o ka ʻāina i ka pono He leo aloha ia paʻē mai Mai nā kūklu mai o Kahiki E ī mai ana iā ʻoe e Hawaiʻi E mālama i ka maluhia E mālama i ka maluhia Great Hawaiʻi with its verdant country The bays of Piʻilani *(Great Maui of Chief Kamalalawalu) Oʻahu of Kākuhihewa Kauaʻi of ManokalanipōChorus: Come all of you, stand together My deeds are not yet complete Hawaiʻi must have moral foundation The life of the land is perpetuated in righteousness The life of the land is perpetuated in righteousness Be of one mind Be of one heart Be of one love The life of the land is perpetuated in righteousness The life of the land is perpetuated in righteousness Voice of love speaking for all From the foundation of Kahiki Urging you, Hawaiʻi Preserve the peace Preserve the peace leafy [/QUOTE]
