Pearl Jam - Hawaii '78

Hawaii State Motto:

UA MAU KE EA O KA AINA I KA PONO - The life of the land is perpetuated in rightousness

Lyrics: Hawaii '78

"How would they feel...

would their smiles be content rather then cry,

cry for the gods, cry for the people

cry for the lands that were taken away

and in it you'll find... Hawaii"

Pearl Jam opened for U2 At Aloha Stadium on December 9th 2006 during the final stop of U2's Vertigo tour. Eddie Vedder, a part-time isle resident performed Hawaii '78 by the late Israel (Braddah Iz) Kamakawiwo Ole'.

Man! I wish I was there!

Jason Mraz - I'm Yours

Jason Mraz is back in the islands for Band Camp 6 with fellow headliners; 311 and Augustana at the Waikiki Shell. If I wasn't working today I would be there for sure!

I'm not a big fan of Jason Mraz. However I love the Hawaiian-inspired video and I gotta admit... the song is kinda catchy!

The video features footage from various Hawaiian islands and includes my favorite hiking / waterfall spot called Maunawili Falls.

The place where the three girls jumped into the water is called Maunawili Falls. Past the falls, you will find moss-covered rocks that act like a natural water-slide. Who needs Hawaiian Waters?

Sashamon - Necta "Butterfly Song"

An oldie but a goodie...

Jack Johnson - Taylor

"Taylor" is my favorite Jack Johnson song. Having Ben Stiller for comic relief doesn't hurt either!

Jack Johnson puts on an annual benefit concert called the Kokua Festival. The festival benefits The Kokua Hawaii Foundation which address environmental concerns around the islands. The last festival featured local and mainland acts including Tim Reynolds and Dave Matthews.
