I didn’t know what to think at first. This song never fails to move me deeply. And the inspiration for its unique sound came from a very special place: Palehua, in Leeward Oahu. HONOLULU (HawaiiNewsNow) - “Hawaii ’78” is one of Israel Kamakawiwoole’s most important and powerful songs. I was deeply touched and will be forever. I wanted to take back to the mainland some of his music and angelic voice so I visited a Towers Records and picked up “Facing Future”. For me, the influence of IZ is far reaching. But according to Kawika Crowley, there is a whole lot more to the story. I simply cannot express in words all that we feel but it truly is a wonderful feeling of love….our hearts still ache that you are not here with us but for some reason we still feel your spirit when we think about you and listen to you sing. So what is the story behind Hawaii 78, the powerful song made famous by Israel Kamakawiwoʻole.
No matter if it was for many times in real or after my moving back to germany via the internet (evry time he sees me onle in skype he contacts me and plays a song for me) …. i cannot wait till the cd will be released in spring 2010 and i look forward to come back to my hawaiian ohana. Rest with the Angels! I love Hawaii and the lovely memory of Iz.. His voice will live forever. When I listen to Hawaii 78, its lyrics make me cry. I wished I had gotten here sooner that first time to have seen you in person perform. At the end of the song…… I started to become aware of Israel and turned, he was shaking, trembling.

and the very first song he played for me was HAWAII 78!!!!! Israel took his shirt off and sat there with a perfect core temperature next to the fire place looking East at the city lights. Exactly.’”.
I only met him about 3 times in this stay but even this was enough to stay in touch via the internet. much aloha and mahalo. The first time I listened to “Hawaii 78” I had an epiphany, a spiritual connection if you will that felt as real as if IZ was talking directly to me. sitting outside the building, sunset in my back, the beautiful view of the mountains in front and brother IZ in my ears. I didn’t know what to think at first. Honolulu and at Palehua which are both in Hawai’i but a bit different. E hoʻomaikaʻi i ke Akua. It took another 7 years before I was able to transfer my job to Hawaii but it happened and if not for IZ, I dont think I would be here today. I first heard about IZ in the german radio in 2007. Catch me on Hawaii News Now Sunrise every weekday morning! “I looked up towards the end of the song and he was just sitting there like this and I was going ‘Oh my gosh.' I stayed 3 weeks in hawaii in sept 2008 and in this time i was blessed to meet another person wich touched my heart very deep.
