The Māori culture is tied to the land, water and sky. ❤
Love our Maori culture ❤
Our culture is tied to all creation, stars, star people, upper earth beings, inner earth beings, I Am from Everything, I Am Potential, we are no different but we are different, peace and love mouri ora ki a koe
You forgot gang violence, domestic abuse, baby killing and slinging drugs to their own people.
We are only the guardians and caretakers (kai tiaki) of the land not the owners.
Maori culture is always there my bro.. is the spirit in it.. NZ is Maori Mother lands.. so is always there...
Thanks guys. Stan's tattoos are all real. Great reaction. Awesome insights and comments about Stan's performance and his look. His ethnicity is Maori from New Zealand. The nature scenes are real, they are indeed volcanic plateaus and natural bush, as well as waterfalls, coastal sunrises... all located in his general district where his family lives in Bay of Plenty New Zealand. Great comments.
Hey from the Bay of Plenty ❤
Kaitiakitanga. Is a Māori concept meaning guardianship. That we don’t own nature, but are guardians of it. We keep it in trust for future generations. I wish this simple, but powerful concept was universal. Because, we’re trashing this planet and it’s the only habitable home we have. A home that’s hospitable environment teeters on a knife edge
So glad you’ve discovered New Zealand’s Stan Walker. This was filmed and produced with him and a couple of mates in two weeks. He sounds even better live. You’re in for a treat 🙂
Stan has phenomenal vocal range and control. Just a stunning performer, down to earth human and family man.
His documentary on his cancer journey, removal of his stomach etc, is here on TH-cam. Well worth a watch. Also Amazing Grace, cover of Don't Dream It's Over by Crowded House and his cover of Ultralight Beam by Kanye are insane. He's a very proud man of Maori descent from here in Aotearoa New Zealand. He is absolutely amazing and so humble too.
I'm from Rotorua New Zealand, (Geyser City)...Tamoko are done as was in the old days, its still a ritual, and i must admit, Stan's Tamoko is truly beautiful, his tone has changed a lot since his Idol days in Australia, with the journey he has undertaken his tone has depths, soul, and carries that Mana feeling in his lyrics... bringing all the elements together. Papatūānuku (Earth) Rangi (Sky) Moana (Sea) Tane Mahutu (forest).. hope everyone likes this song hes definitely has come a long way.
Love this Song
He is singing with no stomach, his stomach was removed due to cancer that runs in his family.
Origins is about where we come from, our roots, heritage, our DNA…
The chronicles of life as Maori. Seeking, soul searching throughout centuries to retain our sovereignty as Maori. Many indigenous cultures throughout the world look to Maori for inspiration.
His voice is a gift.... but his soul is also a gift.... He's an incredible human💖💖💖
Gotta react to his kanye west cover of ultralight beam....he smashes it
Yesss❤❤❤❤
Stan is the soul whisperer. 😊
@@zybenson3367 💯
Exactly !!💖💖💖
That's a great way to describe him 🥰
Awesome reaction he pulled your wairua in. From the beginning of comical conversation to being magnetised by his vocal awesomeness! ☝🏾💯
Hi from Australia 👋 Oh yeah you GOTTA check out him doing Ultralight Beam. The man has an incredible personal history thats worth checking out too. And he remains so authentic and humble. He's SPECIAL guys. Jump down this rabbit hole - you won't regret it. Subbed in anticipation of you discovering more of Stan ❤
awesome reaction! watch all the New Zealanders flock to your channel now that you've reacted to our Stan haha check out more of his music! you wont be disappointed :)
😂😂 it’s great watching reactions from people outside of little ole Aotearoa and the appreciation they show for our reo and culture 🎉 all the feels ❤
Agreed. Stan has been our National treasure (Taonga) for years. And yes, his tattoos are real. ❤
It's awesome that you have discovered Stan Walker, a true Kiwi, and faithful to his Maori heritage from NZ. He gives a lot to his country in terms of music and works with schools all over NZ, raising up kids. He is a talented vocalist. You should check out his other songs 😊
he won Australian Idol at 17
❤Stan is authentic
He truly is. One of the most talented, genuine & humble guys in the biz. He’s the real deal.
So cool that you've found Stan online. Proud Kiwi and cook islander here
Kia Orana from NZ born raro
Stan is amazing artist. Check his older "New Takeover". Definitely his cover of "Ultralight Beam". Also "New Light" is also moving. His most recent "Māori Ki Te Ao" has cool island feel. He battled stomach cancer and had his stomach removed! He wasn't even sure he'd be able to sing the same afterwards but he has remained amazing ❤👍
I love New Takeover! I have become a Stan fan, not just for his music, but for the amazing human he is.
Stan’s music is awesome, he has stayed true to who he is. You should watch the doco on his when he went through cancer struggle…he now sings without a stomach. New Zealanders have huge respect for what he Stan’s for, a nice person.
Hey guys keep being awesome, everybody's interpretation is subjective with individual bias, the fact that all 3 of you had identical interpretations about culture, nature, and belonging indicates the video worked and you guys are open minded and not closed off.
The tattoos are real, they have cultural meaning, the natural scenery is in New Zealand.
Have an awesome day, from New Zealand
He tangata he tangata, he tangata - "It is people, It is people, It is people".
"Kia Kaha" - "Stay Strong"
I wish you and your channel well, all the best "Tu Meke"
Stan walker is a new Zealand Maori. he had recently been through cancer which his family is generically disposed too. He lost family to this disease. Now listen to the song again
He just Maori
Traditionally Maori Ta Moko (tattoo) is chiselled into the skin.
Can't go wrong with Stan the man.
💯

Bro, did you see the translation to this song, in the comments? The shaking hands, represents, Life force. We are all, connected and codependent, man and nature.🙏😍☝️
@@leahthompson8282 Yes! This song is great sonically and the message is amazing.
This song is from the American movie, Origins.
We have to know where we come from, to know where we're going.
The language is Maori, from the indigenous people of, NZ. Luvn you're, reactions. New sub, righthere.🙏😍🎯💯☝️
Stan filmed this video in less than 3 weeks, with zero budget. Just him, a friend a couple of cuzns and a camcorder. This was filmed literally in his backyard where his tribe is from. Apart from the maunga (mountain), which is where his wife is from. The scenes are real places in, NZ.
@@leahthompson8282 Wow!! 🤯 That’s Incredible!! What an amazing video it turned out to be.
Stan and two of his friends produced the video and all the scenes are places in New Zealand where he and his wife come form.....Stan wrote the song I AM very talented man who is indigenous Maori from NZ. Go down the Stan Rabbit hole and check out his wide range of song...some cover rest his own. Hear him live he is 🔥🔥🔥
Knowing who you are and where you come from can be a source of strength. Unique, we all are. Different, yes we all are. Underneath it all, we breathe the same air and our blood is the same colour. One world, one breath, one humanity, one love. Respect each other, love each other. Let racism die…
Loved your lead in , crack up. Stan would appreciate it! Awesome reaction, great to see the love and appreciation for Stan and Māori culture, treasures of Aotearoa New Zealand
New Zealand’s North Island is very volcanic. Where you saw Sam standing on rock, was an area of volcanic rock with active geothermal activity.
Our bush (forest) is very lush, thick and very green.
His tattoos are all real. He’s a beautiful person as well. He also went through medical issues and no longer has a stomach. So this affects your singing. And he has overcome all this. ❤❤❤
Not having a stomach doesn't affect your voice/singing
@@kataraina9967No!?, it doesn't!?, I guess if you are the expert you must be right. Or is it possible that losing apart of you affects the rest of your person. No need to respond just have a long think about it.
@@kataraina9967 actually it can
Welcome to the talent that is Stan Walker. New for you guys but not for his brothers & sisters from New Zealand. He's been singing awesome songs for years, check out his catalogue.
Kia ora. Thank you for reacting to our Stan. Kia kaha ♥
They are REAL tattoo, traditionally in New Zealand those sort of tatts are called ta moko
Beautiful reaction from you guys. Those places are all in New Zealand. You understood the message in his song saying we are attached to nature, the land, the waters, the sky, we are the guardians of our world. We are nature and nature is us. It's a powerful message. Kia Ora from New Zealand 💜 Stan is a Legend.
Stan Walker was an Australian Idol Winner when he was 18/19 years old. And several albums made. And starred in a few films.
Stan Walker is beautiful. Goosebumps all over every time he sings. Beautiful man. Beautiful voice ❤❤❤❤
The tattoos are called tamoko and yes they are real.
New sub here also. I'm from New Zealand and I love how our culture music is being reacted to from all over the world. We're also trying to keep our culture and language alive in our own country. Unfortunately we have majority of New Zealand Europeans trying to get rid of it. Not only that is happening at the moment. It has only just starting a movement towards this current Government. We've just got over 1 million Māori here in (Aotearoa) New Zealand. We just want to be included in all decision making that includes us all here equally. Anyway, that's for embracing and reacting to our waiata (song). We have plenty more for you guys to listen too from our little country at the bottom of the world 😊
No one is trying to get rid of Te Reo it is an official language you would need a new law to do that and there are way too many people of Maori decent in Parliament for that to happen you are just repeating what the over privileged intellectual elites are telling you to rack the young ill educated to a cause that in fact does not exist
Many European like me onboard with our Maori people. Much mixed blood in my family. Current coalition government NEEDS TO BE GONE
@@tyronmcalister3403 no one can get rid of it as you say it is an official language of this country and the last time I looked there was no legislation before our parliament to reverse it and that is what it would take. I am a Pakeha who has many people in my family who identify as Maori my elder sister speaks Te Reo. Most of my family are either fluent or have a good understanding. The big problem is that people are being told these lies and it is becoming devising and that will cause a problem. It suits those more privileged Maori to ferment this rubbish. You have more Maori than ever before in our Parliament if that is not being included in the decision making processes I do not know what else can be expected.
@@tyronmcalister3403 do hope you read that which I have written no one is trying to stop the people learning Te Reo Personally I would like before I meet my maker to see at least half of the population able to stand up and speak this beautiful language.
one of the best artists to come out of New Zealand
Im so glad he survived his stomach cancer - he still has so much to offer the world - really is a beautiful person The language used is Te Reo Maori the other language is English both official languages of New Zealand
Your lil Eminem bit at the start had me laughing. Just subbed after watching your reaction to Stan. He’s def special ❤
We love love love Stan Walker her in New Zealand 🇳🇿 ❤️ 💕 💖
Yay finally! 😊 Was waiting weeks for you guys to upload this to TH-cam. Thanks again guys!
@@Trish_Shaw Thank you 🙏 for introducing us this 💎 Gem. We excited to dive deeper into his Catalog.
@@MyCatalog23you won’t regret it. Even all the way back to his Aus idol performances 🎉
He won one Australian Idol😍 But he’s a kiwi😜
He’s not a new artist he’s been around for years. He is fire.
@@candyapple2200 New Artist on our Channel.
Kia ora guys, loving your coverage, Stan is a taonga a treasure of Aotearoa New Zealand. These are all places I’ve been to over my lifetime and the geysers and pale stone are likely in Rotorua and or Taupo in the volcanic areas. In the movie scenes that sculpture where she touches the stones I’m pretty sure is in Germany and is a monument to holocaust survivors.
You guys have some great knowledge, props to you, awesome thanks so much 👍
I sometimes get into new songs that i hear my older sister playing, and when staying with her for the weekened, i heard this master piece... When i tell you i fell absolutely in love with this beautiful and powerful song....!!! I just had to learn it, especially the part where he speaks in his native language ❤❤❤
Nice reaction ❤️
Interesting. You guys have great insight for a culture you have never been exposed to. Well done!
This is an Ode to Earth, to Nature, to Universe. We are all One, each of us cells of the Universal Divine. All Love, all Energy, living this life as fragment of Eternity.
symboliclly he is the "higher being"
I met him when he visited the east coast of NZ to meet up with his family, we’re all related. Stan has been singing for years and there’s a good documentary on him
He’s just too good. Well done Stan.
Stan the man....beautiful song...maori culture is steeped into us.
REally appreciate your indepth conversation which is very respectful towards a wonderful artist and lovely human being. Just saying.....from Western Australia
Stan is a New Zealander and that’s is rest tattoos of his background as Māori. .from Edith in 🇦🇺
Subbed to watch more Stan Walker reactions hes like no other!!
It's Tamoko of Aotearoa NZ..WE are Maori..He sings the chorus in Te Reo Maori,our Mother tongue..Mauri Ora ❣
Tattoos are real and Stan is from New Zealand. He's Maori and a beautiful advocate for his people. Love his voice (NZ )
Great analysis, thanks guys 👍
The lyrics are intentional. Emotional 😭
Emotional, inspiring, uplifting, powerful…..etc absolutely Love this song.
Great reaction guys, can tell yous are seeking to understand culture 🎉❤
The video was filmed in New Zealand 💜 big loves to you guys from New Zealand.
The movie to this song is amazing ❤
There is a Movie to this song??
@@MyCatalog23Origin is a movie that follows the life of Isabel Wilkerson around the time she wrote the book Caste: The origin of our discontent. She delves into what makes us detach emotionally from other groups of people who are different whether it be race, colour, religion, social or economic background and allow it to develop into persecution or hatred. I believe this is one of the most important movies of our time. I am a massive Stan Walker fan and it is through this sing I discovered the movie. In Stan's video he shows the forests and waterfalls which are plentiful in New Zealand as well as the stunning beaches and geothermal areas (the dark areas). The video was made mostly in the Bay of Plenty and central North Island and it really is that beautiful!
I appreciate your review
Guys! I dig your commentary.
❤ Thank you for your reaction ❤ we love Stan ❤
Great reaction guys.
King you have the right attitude, my family here in Australia have tried to stop buying plastic anything even our milk we now buy in glass, we recycle everything and that’s how we can make small changes.
Excellent job lads 👌
Yes please react to his ultralight beam cover you won't be disappointed 💯
Great to see your reaction, check out other music by him.
Check out his cover of Kanye Wests song, Ultra Light Beam. It's pure 🔥 🔥🔥🎯💯
Stan also does a live studio version of I AM.
New Sub. I am a stan of stan LOL Loved your guy's reaction. Stan mentioned in an interview how he grew up watching 'The Avatar' and loved the character Ang. The tattoo is influenced from it but has a more Traditional and deeper meaning. Stan is very creative and is very intentional with every song and video he makes (Lyrics, Traditional attire, scenes etc). It is made with pure love and respect for our culture, but it is also music that empowers and inspires all people Internationally. Look forward to more reactions from my fave Nz Artist, much love from Nz. Ava discovered Stan through his Kanye West cover 'Ultralight Beam' Powerful vocals, pls check it out.
The tattoo is called tamoko in Aotearoa New Zealand. Its real ♡
Chur mean alright brothers ❤️🤍🖤
Second time you've impressed so I'd better sub. Done. I haven't seen the film or read the book yet but I believe it's about the nature of society's hierarchies, segregation and caste. Stan is amazing, so far everything I've seen of his blows me over. Thanks, guys, well done. Imagine, speak out, forgive and act. 🌍🌎🌏💖
Hey, Mark, for someone who hasn't seen the movie, or read the book, you have a perfect grasp of the subject. ! I'm a little mystified, however, what impressed you about the drivel dished up in this reaction.
@@alpeach9480 HI, Alpeach. I watched several interviews with Ava Du Vernay and the making of the film as well as interviews with Stan Walker about how they got connected and what they saw as common themes to cover. Also I read reviews of Caste, Isabel Wilkerson's book, and ordered a copy. I wasn't expecting a highly intellectual review as those guys started from scratch. But I thought they ended up on the right track and I was encouraging the thought they were putting into it. Maybe they'll look into it more. And I'm pretty drivel-proof as I've watched a lot of reactions. I can't wait for the book to arrive and then to watch the film. My last sentence was inspired by the words of John Lennon and Yoko Ono, the lyrics of 'You're The Voice', the post Great War speech attributed to Mustafa Ataturk, and the motivational inspiration of The Fairy Voice Mother aka Lolli Wren. It also reflects a long held interest in the Kabbalah and the Mahabharata. I hope I've demystified my line of thinking somewhat and I do appreciate your response.
Stan is a really beautiful human being who’s overcome a lot including a recent bout of cancer. He lost his stomach due to that. He’s got an incredible voice & is a true artist in how he expresses the lyrics. He’s a proud Māori & yes, those tattoos reflect his culture & are real. Someone kindly put a translation of the Māori part of the song. Like Native American peoples, Māoris consider humans to be stewards of the earth/the Earth is our mother & we pass our origins down to subsequent generations. We’re not doing a great job of protecting the legacy of our beautiful environment. We need to do much better by our children.
Stan Walker has been through the walk of his life his culture is a beautiful one Maori decent in me only slightly but the soul is one with nature the land ,the sea ,the rivers Aroha ❤️To Stan Walker ❤️and his family ,and who all walk beside him .🥰
how many times can your body hairs stand on end thru one song!! Hika!!!
Stan won the 7th season of Australias got talent, he was born in Melbourne, Victoria, Australia, but moved back to his ancestral lands of New Zealand. He had stomach cancer and has come out stronger. He has an amazing voice. I have followed his career since Australian Idol.
His tattoo represents the native eel of Aotearoa/New Zealand
Also check out Exodus 3:14. I AM is the name of a famous New Zealand painting so it has diverse place in NZ culture.
Subscribed 😊
To all Polynesians, Maori included of which Stan proudly represents, our history, ancestors, and Origin, dictates the people and person we become today. This song speaks to all who listens to seek out your origin, and to know your ancestors and stand proud of who they are, and the journey they struggled through, to bring you into being. We believe that your future is lost, and your direction is aimless, without the strong foundation your ancestors left to you.
So seek your heritage, know your past, and stand proud fully knowing the sacrifices that brought you to today, and the great person you have become.
KNOW YOUR ORIGIN!!!..and give thanks to those of your family gone on before you…
Awes9me video guys…welcome to the rabbit hole that is the unique…. Stan Walker
"A new artist"
Dudes need to come to NZ. Māori. Tangata Whenua, people of the land😊
Please check out Stans other music, especially Ultralight beam (Kanye cover) & Amazing grace (I surrender)
He actually watched the movie and this song is the result of the movie, he is a full Maori born in Australia but now living in New Zealand with his family and yes the tattoos are real it represents his Whanau his iwi (Family and tribe) he is acknowledging his ancestors. The places you see are actually his home land around his home.
I'm sure he was born in new Zealand but moved to Oz in childhood
Good on you guys 👍
His tattoos are real no fake. It us real n it is meaningful to his tribalism native.
Aotearoa New Zealand 💪
I believe it is a holocaust memorial in Berlin that the woman is walking through. (The concrete blocks)
And then do Stan Walker & Maisey Rika’s “find you”beautiful ❤ it will blow your minds 😍
Lots of great info in the comments. Just to add, parts of NZ are covered in rain forest. No jungle in NZ; it is a bit far south for that (too cold!).
The Eastern and Central parts of both islands are now more open country than when the early Polynesian settlers (Maori) cut and burnt all the trees which originally grew there. They did so to hunt one of the largest/heaviest birds ever to have lived, the (flightless) Moa bird, which became extinct within 100-150 years of Maori arrival (around 1300 {Medieval times in Europe}). Something like 6 or 7 million hectares had been cleared of bush and forests prior to Europeans arriving in NZ. (early 1800's). The Haast's Eagle (the world's largest ever eagle) also went extinct, since Moa were its main source of food. The rats they brought with them may have also contributed to that loss.
Both clearing and extinctions continued after Europeans arrived and are still going on to this day.
