The Director of the movie 'Origin' contacted Stan in New Zealand and asked him to write the Music for her movie. She had seen him on YTube with a cover of Kanye Wests "Ultralight Beam' Stan of course said yes lol. He and a small crew set about filming this video in New Zealand and finished the song the video etc in just over 2 weeks. The only editing came when the Director added some shots from the movie. It's an absolute brilliant song from Stan. So glad you've reacted to this my friend..
So cool! Yeah the visuals were mindblowing and the performance itself was unreal! I loved the whole composition and musical direction they went with the track! Thanks for watching and I definitely have to check out more from him!
I was going to post the same thing 👍 There's YT videos of interviews Ava has done to promote her movie, where she's raved about Stan since seeing this cover of Ultralight Beam and why she had to have him provide music for the movie.
The tattoo or Tā Moko represents his and his Mum's journey. There's a documentary on TH-cam called Stan Walker My True Story which is about their journey through cancer which runs in their DNA. Stan had his stomach removed in 2017.
His Tatoos ate Real hes NZ Moari stan is amazing hes a cancer survivor hes survived stage 4 stomqch cancer had his stomach removed too Amazing I Belive he's also Christian Faitth too
He belongs to the Māori tribe of New Zealand. His voice is so rich, it has a bit of raspiness to it. And his vocal box , does very well in the melodies. If you liked this song. You are going to love another song of his called “New Takeover “. I love it. I just can’t stop watching it on TH-cam. I also like another singer called Luke Steele. He is also Māori. He just doesn’t mention or speak about it that much..He has a musical group called EMPIR OF THE SON”. They have a lot of great songs.
Yayy for reacting to our Stan. He is an incredibly talented / humble man .I will never tire of listening to him. Look forward to seeing your reactions to his other songs.

Stan’s vocals caress the heart. It reaches deep. Stan has done many covers…Ultralight Beam, Circle of Life, Don’t Dream it’s Over…..and some of his own include “I am the colour” ( total diff song than I Am), Bigger, Māori Ki Te Ao Subbed and ready for the dive ❤
Beautiful reaction good buddy. Humbly proud of our Brother Stan and his flawless example. He has no doubt contributed to the industry in a Superstar fashion but humbly. It's always amazing to see how the world reacts to our pride and joy, and so far the 99.99% have loved him enormously. Thanks for your sincere appreciation good buddy. 🎤🎼🎶🎵🎸🎹🥁
Yes tattoo is real. Stan is a New Zealand Maori. - the people of the land. He is singing in Maori. It is his composition and did the filming in New Zealand in his tribal region. Stan is out taonga - Kia kaha
His cover of Ultralight Beam is heavenly too. And Purple Rain, Maori Ki Te Ao, Tennessee Whiskey with Parson James are all phenomenal. Great reaction to the Legend Stan Walker.💜 Big loves to you from New Zealand Aotearoa.
Just found your channel . If you can check out Stan’s song called new takeover it’s a great one of his too . Also not sure if you have heard of a group called Haevn I think they are from Amsterdam check out the song called one day that is off their latest album and check out some of their other songs they perform with an orchestra in the background ❤ they are also great . Thank you. Looking forward to watching
Stan is one my favourites, he won Australian idol many years ago. You should check him out covering “amazing grace” live the Levites. Another artist from NZ worth checking out is “Teeks” he’s got a deep raspy soulful voice
Australian Idol discoveted my 2 favourite male singers - Stan and Guy Sebastian. Both winning these seasons and having extraordinary voices. ❤ Stan's version of Purple Rain all those years ago is still one of my favourite live TV performances.
As a New Zealander I love Stan’s music….he has amazing voice, yes he has had a very hard time in is life. He released another song after this which shows very much the culture of New Zealand Maori it’s also a beautiful song . Stan has had cancer and now has no stomach. We very much respect Stan down here. The scenery is New Zealand…
Thanks for your lovely reaction. It's always such a great feeling to discover a wonderful artist. Re other songs of Stan's to check out - agree with everyone else that 'Ultralight Beam' (live with the Levites) and 'Amazing Grace' (live with the Levites) are essentials. Also def 'New LIght' (live with the Levites), 'He Kakano Ahau' (live with the Levites), 'Maori ki te Ao' (music vid), 'Feelings', 'Choose', 'Father's Eyes' (Acoustic version). Enjoy your Stan journey - nice to have you along! 😀
Those are mighty astute observations my friend. Stan is unapologetically Māori, from the Tūhoe tribe of the Urewera in Aotearoa/New Zealand. The stanza of the chorus is reminiscent of traditional Māori chanting of old. Kia ora! (good health/thank you)
Just found your channel. You were halfway there towards doing a Pukana 😮😊 love that you love Stan Walker. He is New Zealands finest! And yes, his tat is real. Check out "MAORI KI TE AO" another banger! Stan Walker is Maori.
Not sure if you’re aware that Stan had his stomach removed and I believe it was not too long before this. He also had his bladder removed and has had 26 surgeries since. He survived stomach cancer and to be still able to sing like this without a stomach.. I have no words.
Kia ora e hoa. Stan is incredible and a taonga of the Māori people. The video is multi layered it seems. The scenes where it depicts water just seem to flow. The scenes of volcanism are slightly harsher, there is an open airiness to the song when showing the forest. That reverence to greeting the rising sun, I don’t know for sure but seems to be somewhere near the East Cape if I were to guess. It just feels like they would do that there as an added layer. You can almost smell the earthy scent when it shows him in the cave. My personal favorite scene is where he stands motionless with the ferns all around. It is a breathtaking visual representation of Aotearoa that just happens to have a song playing in the background that when added together are both greater than the individual parts. Aroha from the hill of West Virginia.
HI from NZ Stan does a mean cover of purple rain also dont dream its over choose is great come back home i cant make you love me and many many more to many to list enjoy
You haven't reacted to Stan Walker before? 😮 Ok follow up with some of these. Another cool music video is "New Takeover". He also does "I Am" live in the studio. His latest "Māori Ki Te Ao", then some oldies like "New Light", "Ultralight Beam - Kanye West cover", "Amazing Grace" all live in the studio. Just to mention a few. It's amazing how he still sounds amazing if not better after battling stomach cancer and had his stomach removed!
Hey mate. My favourite song of Stan's up until I AM is Don't Dream It's Over (th-cam.com/video/UzgKG3Xe8Tc/w-d-xo.html). Another iconic Kiwi song by another iconic Kiwi group. Stan's version, for me, is numero uno.
