All eyes are on Hiʻilawe. In the sparkling lowlands of Maukele. I have not been trapped by the gossip. Chattering everywhere in Waipiʻo. I am not caught. For I am the mist of the mountains. I am the darling of the parents. And a lei for the necks of grandparents.

Ulili'e, Moonlight Lady, Waimanalo Blues, Hi'ilawe, Coconut Girl, Kaimana Hila. When I think of the #1 anti-anxiety Hawaiian song, Hi'ilawe by IZ immediately comes to mind. His 'Opae E, Kaleohano, and Kaulana Kawaihae are also lovely. And the versions would be remastered.

Hiilawe by KEALE published on 2014-11-24T03:10:32Z. Keale adds a "ranchera flare" to a traditional Hawaiian song originally composed by Sam Lia of Waipio Valley. Paul Cartwright's violin brings Uncle Sam's instrumental voice to life for the first time ever, and Paula Fuga's soul-filled voice adds harmony.

Hi'ilawe. The song Hi'ilawe was written by Sam Li'a Kalainaina, Sr. around 1902. It talks about two lovers in the mists of Hi'ilawe, the highest waterfall in Hawai'i, on the Big Island. Gabby Pahinui recorded it in 1947 on what is considered the first commercial recording of slack-key guitar (kī hōʻalu). Listen to it below:

One meaning of Ka'ōhao is "the tying-end, as of a lei." "Hanohano Wailea," in its original four-verse form is a half-circle, a cupped hand, a one-armed hug, an incomplete lei. The new verses for Alāla, Nā Mokulua, and Kai'ōlena supply the missing half and tie the whole together in a lei aloha 'āina with which I honor my Ka'ōhao
