Every night we would talk I yearn for the day, I wait for that day I want to see (you again) Chorus Alas! You turn your back on me My darling, I will never forsake you Give me a kiss and your embrace so I can remember (us) Alas! You turn your back on me This burden is making me weary But if this is what you want - my darling, so be it Verse Two The sorrow has returned back (to me) Oh my! My heart is feeling overwhelmed with so much (pain) I can’t resist wanting to look (at you) But if you (still choose) to not want me Then the happiness will begin to fade ***My translation of the tokos song.

[@foxymama857]

This has all the elements of five stars, golden aliis and a malia & alapati classic. The way it exhudes all the feels and magic of a Samoan love ballad is exhilarating. Originality is truly something that is missing in today's music. The awe of it being written and sung by a Tongan crooner in our native language is icing on the cake. Fa'afetai tele lava Josh for the gift of music ❤

My thoughts go back to my parents as they are waltzing to any Samoan Classic oldie as the children are giggling and watching them float across the living room (tears). God has blessed you with this talent of music-creating your own sound/medley, lyrics and truly makes me want to have a marriage like my parents (loving one another). Thank you for sharing your God given gift to me and the rest of the world. Ofa lahi atu

Josh has done what our other artists today are not able to do: original music! Original medley, lyrics, and beat. Malo lava, been wanting a new original song for some time and not rehashing of palagi pop songs and tunes in Samoan. 🇹🇴🇹🇴🇹🇴

[@zm1172]

Bruhhh? Why are you PRETENDING TO BE Samoan Huhhh???... I'm pretty SURE you're NOT. If you were Samoan, or knew ANYTHING about Samoa, you wouldn't be making such A STUPID and non-sensical remark. Your DISHONEST and DIVISIVE "statements" about my people AS A NATION OF MANY, MANY, Original AND Creative Music, Songs, Art Forms etc... IS Offensive AND CHILDISH, For REAL. STOP The Hate AND STOP Spouting your BS. We, Samoans got NOTHING TO PROVE TO INSECURE AND Hateful people like you. KEEP IT REAL bruh🤙🏼 but MOST OF ALL...KEEP The Peace, DON'T BE DIVISIVE.

[@zm1172]

LOLLL... Samoans, along with our Thousands of Original Songs/Music, Gifts, Talents,... in The Different Art FORMS... have NOTHING to prove to our Haters and Divisive, Insecure, individuals such as yourself." But "WHATEVER" makes you sleep like a pēpē at night. Soifua..

[@zm1172]

@@KingKong-wd5qk First off, if you REALLY read the comments, you wouldn't have felt the need to be the Spokesperson👍🏼 Because not only is it offensive, but you BEST BELIEVE (as a Samoan) I'm going to take it PERSONAL. "Both" ignorant and divisive comments were specific to Samoans in general. Let's KEEP IT Real ok? Secondly, that is one Hell of a DISHONEST comparison/opinion to make, considering it's based off of YOUR OWN Personal Bias and "Feelings" towards one of your "peeps." Samoa/Samoans ARE A Nation of MOSTLY Authenticity AND Originality..BLESSED AND GIFTED people IN MANY Different ART Forms and IN LIFE as a whole. The PROOF is out there for The world, people, or "anyone" to see, let alone HONEST "enough" to acknowledge it. Granted, ALL of The Pacifica (including your culture👍🏼) IS guilty of this very thing- copying/sampling etc.. BOTTOM LINE IS this... If you 'wanna give props to your fellow country men, GO FOR IT🤙🏼 I'm ALL FOR IT👍🏼 BUT DON'T Disrespect my people, An ENTIRE Nation, with SILLY Comparisons of IGNORANT, DIVISIVE, (AND putting it FRANKLY,) Hateful comments. I see this BS one TOO MANY TIMES AND IT'S NOT OK, Period. So like you said, Chill AND ENJOY the music (EVERYONE,) DON'T KILL the "Vibe" w/Silly, Ignorant, Disrespectful comments. It reeks of Jealousy. REAL TALK👍🏼 Fa'afetai lava.. Tofa laia.

[@alelokaoseumu]

@@zm1172 It's okay for people to have an opinion that you don't. Josh's new music offers something new to the ear which is really refreshing. Sometimes covers offers something new than the original, but tbh there's only so many times I can hear covers of Tama Samoa (a great original song by Felise Mikaele) or George Whittaker but in Samoan before it becomes incredibly repetitive

[@zm1172]

@@alelokaoseumu TRUE👍🏼 AND I'LL RE-ITTERATE, "MY POINT"... If you wanna make AN OPINION AND UPLIFT your fellow country man?? Then by ALL means More power to you bruddahs and sistahs🤙🏼 But DON'T do it by BELITTLING AND COMPARING it to other cultures, LET ALONE an ENTIRE NATION such as My BLESSED People AND Beautiful Nation of Samoa🇼🇸✝️🇦🇸 Just DON'T DO IT, Period. It's PETTY, Offensive, AND BENEATH your supposed acknowledgement of Josh's music. Which I personally find to be cool. If you're gonna GO THERE, than EXPECT to be ADDRESSED. Because like I said, THIS BS happens way TOO Often #Truth, Absolutely DISrespectful. AT SOME Point, there's ONLY SO MUCH that WE Samoans (where #Humility is in The VERY Fabric of being raised The Fa'a Samoa Way) will tolerate. STOP the comparisons in combination w/your Disrespect of other cultures. It's NOT Funny, NOR is it ok. TREAT others AND other cultures the way YOU WANT yourself AND YOUR CULTURE TO BE TREATED. Simple. Peace out✌🏼

We r one toko I'm Samoan and don't understand fully but nonetheless brings the vibes and love and reminder of proud being Samoan when MUM was alive and the great memories . But lately I've been feeling somewhat embarrassed of being Samoan with all the on goings of what's happening in Samoa with corruption hate amongst our own and just silly bickerings between families and husbands and wives and the judgemental FAKENESS as well as homophobia just ridiculous and the music just not the same just lost . And than this beautiful Tongan man that I've learned to love and admire together with Fiji bringing back the pride of being not only Samoan but ab Islander of humble love and kindness beginnings that I once was so proud of has regained due to this beautiful young man and Fiji . Love for all my Islander brothers and sisters Tonga Samoa cookies nuie tokelau and our Fijians and all non western AIGA PNG Maori Aboriginal Torres's straight Tahitian hawaiian famz all abroad far and near let us unite and love respect one another throughout in music sports whatever and wherever we may be I sincerely with all that I am love you all whole heartedly mind body and soul always 4221 ❤️‍🔥❤️‍🔥🔥🔥💪💪☝️☝️❤️❤️😇😎💋💋💋
