Maybe the only Brazilian who has never been to NZ and still loves this band. I gotta listen to this song at least once a month. You guys are freaking awesome!

[@HAMZATEH]

i miss coming home from school, turning on the TV to channel 4 i believe, and having this air on the music channel ugh.. man those days were so nostalgic.

[@marko8342]

Wasni Back when we had C4 :)

[@pro_gaming_god7227]

[@laurenharrell7438]

wasnt it called C4? that music channel hahaha mems

[@suecook8199]

This song hits me right in the gut. Three years ago I found the courage to leave a violent marriage of 27 years. My 23 yr old Son came with me. We just road tripped for 2 months and Six60 were always on the cd player. Life is now good but will never forget those days. Would love to go to a Six60 concert with him. Many memories of new beginings.

[@HellIsBugz]

Good on ya, sue!

If you live in Australia I heard there is a concert there in November!!

[@TaoF1999]

honestly nz is one the best countries in the world, its tiny and quiet but theres enough of everything. people see it as boring cos its small but the diversity is amazing, the vibe, the pride, the girls, the moari's, the gangs, the punks, the weed, the tui. i've lived in england for a total of 16 years and nz for 4, i live in england now but i can honestly say nz is better and its my home, can't wait to be back.

I'm a Caniwi since 34 years and am sharing Six60 music home here in Canada and I tell you people are bowled over by the Six60 band - their melodies, lyrics, soulful phresh sounds and not forgetting Stan Walker. Canadians are loving the NZ sounds - personally I am so over the American music scene. Now Canada, well that's another story - great sounds coming outta this country! :-) Go Six60 my favourite band! Best wishes for all your future songs and tours! You deserve all the success you achieve. More power to you~

[@Raupekaa]

I'm 11 and I love the old songs/jams

[@xurix3953]

Remember Americas music is all about sex, weed, drugs, girls, money and cars plus partying. While you listen to music here in NZ, we have a complete different view in music. More like reggae mixed with hip hop with lyrics about family and love we have for each and one another. Love as in family love. Not love as in making love. We talk about the other side of love. Not the dirty. If Yall know what I'm saying.

[@xurix3953]

***** Amen. This is why musicians sound more attractive by singing about a different topic instead of the SAME ONE. I'm so proud to be from NZ. It makes NZ's reputation look real good etc etc. Hoping my brother would continue talking about the other side of life in his music. He's in a band called Where's Poly.

[@baro6217]

I was listening to some reggae song on Spotify then this song played. Best discovery I've ever had

I’m from New Zealand but moved to Australia when I was 4 and when I was in New Zealand my mum would always play this all the time and she still does

[@eneleartangiora3104]

throw back to when I was 6 mother and daughter jamming out to this and many other chill reggae music and having singing comps

[@jamesmathieson5979]

This song gives me goosebumps immediately. Makes me so proud to be a KIWI & everything I have ever lived for 💯🇳🇿

Yes I agree. Love from New Zealand 🇳🇿

[@s3ra9h1m]

This song goes deep. Expatriate of 15 years and 11500 miles from NZ. Lost touch with all my old friends and most of my family. Theres only so long you can fight time a distance, even the accent changes.

Damn. I'm getting so nostalgic. Nz music was the best music. Even in Christmas! Listening to these songs were those songs you couldn't get annoyed with. Now days listening to songs on repeat you will get annoyed easily.

[@claudiascholten3827]

us kiwis have the best voices! New Zealand all the way!!

[@bigpants83]

J boot

[@bvxruiknvxfukknnvv57uttfvv54]

because they were born to sing

[@Swagmittens]

No. SOME kiwis do have great voices. But US KIWIS like to BE MODEST and NOT boast our SUPERIORITY. But, all countries have people with great voices. New Zealand is just as great as any other country. We're all great right? Including Australia. I know some stupid kiwis who hate Australia and Australians for no reason and they even think that all of New Zealand agrees with them but guess what... Australia is just as Awesome as NZ and the people are also great.

[@Swagmittens]

[@moonlightchilds7684]

Best country in the world. 🇳🇿🌊🌺

[@xurix3953]

I'm so fuckin happy Six60's music has reached around the world. I'm hoping that the rare music and lyrics we have (lyrics that aren't about sex, drugs, alcohol, partying and money) will make NZ unique and different from the other countries. When we hear the US music, it's all about girls etc. While NZ, all about family and experiences.
