My Dear Stan ! Believe me I have always loved your voice from the first audition. BUT!!!! Man the contrast of the chubby giggling boy to the mature confidence you display now. WOWZER, GADZOOKS. You sound like you are channeling angels really ! I have so much respect and admiration for you, your journey, your decision to share your culture and heritage, and the man you have become. Big hug and so much love from Grandma in Peru. <3

Hi, I’m April, from South Carolina! I’m about half Cherokee and I know some of my heritage from my parents, but now they are gone. But you make me want to get back in touch with where I (Crow Woman) came from! Love everything about your music ✌️🫶😁

This is a beautiful song. We need more beautiful Māori songs like this! Thank you wonderful Stan Walker! Keep writing songs. It would be great to have them published as full sheet music so that where appropriate they can be taught to children and others

Oh Stan, your voice is magnificent. Well done lad.

[kengwal]

I simply didn’t want this to stop. Your voice gets better and better.

[anikaforster]

Brought me to tears. This is outstanding. Just beautiful. There is no person in the world that I wish true happiness for than Stan. For his gift that he shared with the world, and his struggles that could have taken that gift from the world, he has clearly found happiness and love in his beautiful new wife. So proud of you both. Wishing you both all the best in this next journey of life.

Stan....I just want to say a heartfelt thankyou for all your amazing music and your blessed soul. Your divine music has gotten me through 200 or more days of lockdown here in Melbourne, and has saved my sanity and soul. For that, I am eternally grateful. Bless you always.

He wā ka mokemoke
Tahuri rā ki te rapa
Me ko wā noa te utu
Takahia tō ara

He kupu tē kitea mai
Kia mārama ai
Te ata kei tō mamaaee
Kia manawatahi ai

Kua motu te here?
Te whakawhere?
Te matihere?
Kia pau rā ngā kupu
Te hā te tuku
Te mateāone

I know sometimes we might feel lost
But have you searched the lost and found
If time was what it cost
Are we over spending ours

Couldn't find the words to say
Does it hurt when you explain
Is there a shadow in your pain
Maybe it hurts us all the same

Did we lose our connection
Touch an affection
Without intention
Would you say every sentence
Use every last breathe
Find what we came for

Some day we'll find where we belong
Tōku whenua taurikura

[lilgriffiths]

you have reached the peak of maturity ... much love!!!
