Hey there everybody! I have not talked to you guys in a while. Anyway, this particular blog is going to be a bit different than the others. Usually, I discuss a particular dance of a country. Today, I actually decided to change things up a bit and discuss a particular song. It is a song that I not too long ago discovered. I first heard it during the traditional Hawaiian Hula dance of BYU's Living Legends show. The song is called "He Lei Manoalani" by Justin Young.
I believe this song reveals the true beauty of the Hawaiian culture.
The tenderness of it displays the geniality and the gentleness of the
people. As a result of the loveliness of the song, many natives choose this song to dance their traditional Hula to. The song accompanies the serenity of the dance perfectly.
This song is a Hawaiian song, but that certainly does not mean you have to be Hawaiian to listen to it! Take me for example, I have absolutely no Polynesian heritage, but the moment the beautiful compilation of notes oozed their way into my ears, my whole body reached a state of tranquility. That is one thing I love about music. It can bring together different nationalities. No matter what your ethnicity is or who your ancestors were, a heart-warming song can be enjoyed and appreciated by anyone.
All in all, I hope you all check out this song! I absolutely love listening to it! Even though I cannot understand the lyrics, tenderness of the song can calm me down, cheer me, and put a genuine smile on my face.
