Phil, I know that song as sung by Israel Kamakawiwo'ole. I thought I hated Hawaiian music as all I'd ever been exposed to was tripe by the likes of Don Ho, etc. But when Napster was is full swing & I was sharing our huge mp3 collection, I was introduced to Hawaiian by another Napster user in Hawaii.
Israel Kamakawiwo'ole was an amazing singer & most of the songs were traditional Hawaiian sungs sung in Hawaiian. But he did this one too & when I listen to it, I can feel the tension flow from my muscles. Not every one's taste but I love it.
