Raumata Tetuanui - Stay With Me (Destroke Remix) 

New Generation Rod Dannys

Te Pua No'ano'a

When my sons where young like 5, 6, and 7, my youngest wasn't born yet. My favorite family thing to do was the movies at Laie theater. Mind you I was selfish. Watching them watch the movies was worth more than gold, and was more for me than them. I remember all the Disney movies like Mighty Joe young and seeing my oldest Vaihi run on all fours like a gorilla up the isle was so funny. Watching Tevai and Pene stand in there seats and roar was over the top funny. As I'm typing this my heart is warmed by the memories. We went to watch Aladdin  and as we left I had this overwhelming feeling that as a Polynesian. We had stories that could have the same impact on the world and the first thing came to mind was Maui. That night I went home and thought long and hard about this. The images came flooding in, as I visioned a child on a Journey on the ocean. A place where as a people we traveled like a highway. That child was cared for by the elements. From that came the song Hush. I would sing this to my sons as they slept. Back then I was working a lot, so I would see them when they were asleep in the morning and I would come home when they where asleep in the evening. So these moments meant more to me then the breath I took. They were all small enough to fit on a King size bed. Mind you Vaihi took most of that bed. Hush was my song that I would use when I would create the animated version of Maui, I dreamt of doing this for YEARS. But alas 18 years later Disney would release Maui. Ta'e! Any ways Hush was the 2nd song released on FM100 from our Second release Can You Imagine.
