Here is a video from Sashamon for his song Necta. This song from his album One Day Maybe. Growing up on Moloka’i Sashamon created a unique mellow blend of reggae, rock, and Hawaiian music.

Alex Farnham was raised on the the Big Island, and began making films when he was 14. His comic style reminds me of the late Rap Reiplinger. One Dolla is one of my favorite shorts produced by Alex. Check out his website Damitsgood.net for more information. He also post new items on youtube.

Israel Kamakawiwo’ole – Somewhere Over The Rainbow

Lyrics:

Ooo oooooo oooooo oooo ooo ooo ooo
Ooooo oooooo oooooo
Ooo ooo ooo
Ooo ooo ooo

Somewhere, over the rainbow, way up high,
And the dreams that you dreamed of,
Once in a lullaby.

Oh, somewhere over the rainbow,
blue birds fly, And the dreams that you dreamed of,
Dreams really do come true.

Someday, I’ll wish upon a star,
Wake up where the clouds are far behind me.
Where trouble melts like lemon drops,
High above the chimney top,
That’s where you’ll find me.

Oh, somewhere, over the rainbow, bluebirds fly,
And the dreams that you dare to.
Oh why, oh why can’t I?

Well, I see trees of green and red roses too,
I’ll watch them bloom for me and you.
And I think to myself: What a wonderful world!

Well, I see skies of blue and I see clouds of white,
And the brightness of day.
I like the dark and I think to myself:
What a wonderful world!

The colors of the rainbow, so pretty in the sky,
Are also on the faces of people passing by.
I see friends shaking hands, saying, ‘How do you do?’
They’re really saying, ‘ I…I love you!’

I hear babies cry, and I watch them grow,
They’ll learn much more than we’ll know.
And I think to myself: What a wonderful world!

Someday, I’ll wish upon a star,
Wake up where the clouds are far behind me.
Where trouble melts like lemon drops,
High above the chimney top,
That’s where you’ll find me.

Oh, somewhere, over the rainbow, way up high.
And the dreams that you dare to,
Oh why, oh why can’t I?

Ooooo oooooo oooooo
Ooooo oooooo oooooo
Ooo ah, ah, ah… eh ah ah, eh ah ah ah ah…

University of Hawaii Fight Song Lyrics

Here’s to our dear Hawaii
Here’s to our green and white
Here’s to our Alma Matter
Here’s to our team with fight
RAH RAH RAH!
Here’s to old warriors calling
Here’s to old battles won
Here’s to Hawaii’s victory
Here’s to each valiant one
