Saw Dave at the awapuni back in the 70/80’s the dudes back then. He pulled up at our table with a six pack of leopard paw. Shit beer! Legend will remember forever. Makes me homesick after 40 years

[@nicolasmith6436]

I am loving seeing artists embrace Te Reo and releasing their songs for us to enjoy! Ka mau te wehi Dave!

Amazing!

[@Murto84]

I could listen to this in every language. Absolute banger!

[@bronsonperich9430]

Love this translation. Hine Ruhi. Nice. Since the tupuna didn't slice the heavens the translation reflects the closest concept. In other words a woman from the heavens. Nice.

[@derycksyron5729]

Wonderful work Dave. Your's is possibly the most recogniseable voice of Aotearoa NZ identity in the music world today, both in your stories and your sound. This translation musically would have been no easy task, so many thanks to you and the team for your amazing effort here. Heart(land) warming as always. Cheers.

[@centralotagoreapmini287]

Such wonderful memories of a wonderful country, wonderful people and a wonderful singer.

[@susanrowlands4931]

Tino pai waiata Dave!

[@salweh.a.82]

I grew up on the English version. Love it. Heard the te reo version a few weeks ago on spotify for the first time. I didn’t even realise until today that it is actually Sir Dave singing it in te reo and not a cover. Impressive! 👌🏼

[@lucyannanixon7714]

TRUTH

[@philliplambert769]

Kia ora Dave this version cracks me up. Good on you giving it a crack. Youre a kiwi icon. However I would have worded the 2 first verses as follows. "E whakapono nui ahau ki a koe. Ka piri atu ahau ki a koe"

[@triplejazzmusicisall1883]

Love this. Don't understand a single word and don't care at all asI love the sounds of the Te Reo Maroir language. Sometimes not knowing words makes you focus on the beauty of another language you are not familiar. This is wonderful. Why is NZ so more davnaced than Australia in the recognition of its indigenous people. For some reason Australian's just can't accept truths.

[@glock_creations]

this song is a song for my school production dance So good song better than english so ✨stylish✨

Appreciate the gesture Dave, but it's not a patch on the original with the Herbs. The ensemble is what makes Slice of Heaven perfect. Great scenery though. This video paired with the original song is a pretty good combo.

[@camrobinson7491]

This is great but the keyboards - or whatever instrument it is making the iconic hook - sounds completely different and is tinny AF compared to the original.

[@effteisme]

Melodica?

[@msmanagement1]

Yes - Sounds completely different as Dave would wish for the 2021 version. He created both.

[@brianh8484]

It's a new version so why would any artists use the same music or the same key? Wouldn't make any sense to me. Before I even heard it for the first time I waa curious how it would sound musically.
