We planned for a yuuuge 2020 World Tour, and then - Covid struck. Cut to 2021 - we’ve postponed and rescheduled for the 3rd time. My gut was telling me to postpone again and push for 2023. But everyone was tired of rescheduling, so we went forward with the tour.
Don’t get me wrong - I was super excited to see everyone out there after being cooped up for a year and a half. But my intuition was telling me that it was too early to go back out. Ticket sales were terribly low, and we were all still feeling a little hesitant to be shoved in a room, shoulder to shoulder for hours at a time. I am not signed to a record label, so going on tour is incredibly expensive for me, and I usually end up losing money in the end. Of course, I don’t go on tour for the money, but when you’re broke AF and haven’t had a paying gig for a year and a half - it’s hard to reconcile the positives when there are so many negatives.
Needless to say - this tour took a lot outta us. We almost lost everything. Hell - we’re still in the red two years later. But I learned a lot of lessons on this tour. In the end - I learned to stick up for myself. To not be pushed again into doing something against your better judgment. I learned how to say NO, without beating myself up afterward with guilt. I learned that I had balls of steel, going out on tour when no one else was. And I was reminded, by all of you who showed up to these shows - that there’s still so much love out there.May 3, 2023I Am Kawehi2023-05-03 | ...Eggplant Parm Sammies for Dummies 🍆🥪I Am Kawehi2023-05-01 | ...#sundaypunday whatchu got interwebz?I Am Kawehi2023-04-30 | ...How I Learned to Beatbox #60SecTBTI Am Kawehi2023-04-27 | ...I wrote a song about Felix Baumgartner’s 2012 Space JumpI Am Kawehi2023-04-26 | ...My happy place ✨ where is yours?I Am Kawehi2023-04-25 | ...Pizza for Dummies 🍕I Am Kawehi2023-04-24 | ...Who says romance is dead 💜I Am Kawehi2023-04-23 | ...To hire me for your next PSA, please inquire withinI Am Kawehi2023-04-22 | ...I feel it in my bonesI Am Kawehi2023-04-21 | ...The first song I wrote #60SecTBTI Am Kawehi2023-04-20 | ...the subtle art of not giving a fuxI Am Kawehi2023-04-19 | ...Bread for Dummies 🥖🤓I Am Kawehi2023-03-13 | ...Pooping in Kenya 💩 #60SecTBTI Am Kawehi2023-03-09 | ...It’s all or nothing for me #strangerthingsI Am Kawehi2023-03-08 | ...This is the earworm you’ve been searching for 🥑 #guaclifeI Am Kawehi2023-03-03 | ...The first song I wrote 🙊 #60SecTBTI Am Kawehi2023-03-02 | ...#supermario alwaysI Am Kawehi2023-03-01 | ...My rider story 🤦🏻♀️. #60secTBTI Am Kawehi2023-02-23 | ...giving #thelastofus vibes 🧟🍄I Am Kawehi2023-02-22 | ...90s forevaaaa 🤟🏼I Am Kawehi2023-02-17 | ...are you brave enough #ninI Am Kawehi2023-02-16 | ...📦📦I Am Kawehi2023-02-15 | ...Live Holiday Party Jams from my Basement by KawehiI Am Kawehi2022-12-18 | Kawehi Holiday Party is in full effect - bringing you some Hawaiian flavor, even though this was shot in a very, VERY cold basement in the middle of Kansas during winter. Did you appreciate the decorations? I did it me self, thank you dollar store.
Rev. Dennis Kamakahi wrote such beautiful traditional Hawaiian songs that still brings so much beauty through the language and melodies that stick in your brain. This song came out before I was born, but remained a classic growing up, and I still remember loving it as a keiki. Kaua'i is such a beautiful island - visiting my cousins was such a treat when I was young. I couldn't resist doing a song in ʻŌlelo - long ago Hawaiian used to be my first language, and as I get older, I crave that connection that only language can bring.
A HUGE mahalo to Kumu Kawika (Halau Makana O Hula) and Katalina for lending me their beautiful mea hula for me to add to this video! It was such a treat to dance again with hula implements after such a long time!
Kōkeʻe - Words & music by Dennis Kamakahi
Upu aʻe he manaʻo I ka wēkiu o Kōkeʻe I ka nani, o ka āina O ka noe poʻaiʻai
Hui: ʻO Kalalau, he ʻāina laʻa I ka ua liʻi liʻi ʻO Waimea kuʻu lei aloha Never more to say goodbye
Hoʻi mai ana i kahikina I ka la welawela I ke kai hāwanawana I Poʻipū ma Kōloa
Mele au no ka beauty I ka uka ʻiuʻiu I Kōkeʻe ua ʻike au I ka noe poʻaiʻai
A thought recurs To the summit of Kōkeʻe In the beauty of the land Of the encircling rain
Chorus: Kalalau is a sacred land In the drizzling rain Waimea is my beloved wreath Never more to say goodbye
Returning to the east In the doubly hot sun To the whispering sea At Poʻipū in Kōloa
I sing for the beauty In the lofty uplands At Kokeʻe I saw The encircling mistthe sheep are on the move again...

Thought it would be fun to add some inner dialogue (obvs i'm not 100% sure if the doggos dialogue is 100% accurate, but I hope I know my own doggos)#alanismorissette - thank u (melancholy remix by kawehi)I Am Kawehi2022-08-18 | I was a sophomore in HS when this came out...I used to walk around campus, feeling misunderstood 🙈😆, listening to @Alanis on my discman.
