Speaker 1 (00:07):
You're listening to the Saturday Morning with Jack Tame podcast
from News Talks at B.
Speaker 2 (00:13):
But it's.
Speaker 3 (00:31):
Georgia Lines. Ah. She has such an incredible voice, doesn't she.
The song is Wonderful Life, and it's one of the
songs that features on our methodokey playlist put together by
music review at Stelle Clifford, who thought she'd do things
a little bit differently for the long weekend. Hey is
Stelle o kyoda.
Speaker 2 (00:47):
I mean, what a great way to celebrate some of
our incredible news. Thos right in and seriously, the list
could have gone on for quite some time.
Speaker 3 (00:55):
Oh yeah, I mean typically you didn't want to do
like a nature's beast, but slightly, I'm nothing against nature's beast.
We all appreciate a bit of nature's beast. At least
we're like forty five minutes into for a customer service
roup present enough to join us. But yeah, this is
a this is a kind of it's quite a modern playlist.
Speaker 2 (01:14):
I think. So I've tried to tried to give you
some new stuff. A Wonderful Life is one of the
new singles from Georgia Lines. She actually did this really
stellar gig, you know, the one that gives your skin
the tingles at Civic Theater in Auckland, And actually some
of the time they didn't like the stage. They just
lit up the sky and the Civic because it is
all stars in shooting stars, so real, spine tingling, magic stuff.
(01:35):
And I know this because I watched everybody else's Instagram
videos about it. I wasn't there so absolute far. I
know I heard they recorded it or they videoed it,
so I think eventually it'll come out for us to
be able to watch. I love that song. I think
it actually really suits Mathaiky because it's about facing the
fact that there are tough things that happen to us
(01:55):
in life, but there's still so much to be grateful
for and celebrate and again, so that's really, you know,
on the pathline of what Mathardiky is. I know you
also had a little bit of a dance off earlier
when you got to hear the Makerina Matariki the stars.
If there was ever a way to be able to
remember all the star cluster names, why why white Ornalagi?
(02:18):
You can just be in my household that has been
sung to me every day for two weeks while my
small human prepped for her Martariki concerts.
Speaker 3 (02:24):
So yeah, but clever, isn't it?
Speaker 2 (02:27):
Like her new in nineties people we loved so much
would now be teaching our kids how to remember the
star clusters. So I'm I'm all here for that. I
think that's amazing.
Speaker 3 (02:36):
You've got a little bit nuance in there. Version of
melour I Reckon. That's my favorite Marti language song.
Speaker 2 (02:45):
I think it's one of those songs that I mean,
it's a it's an araditional Mari folks song. I have
sung it at farewells, I have sung it, Yeah, I've
sung it around the campfire, and I think it's one
of those songs that is easy for everybody to learn
in a great way to get your mouth around some
of the vowels of tribal mardi, which is beautiful. And
(03:05):
Anika's version is really great for that pla. If you
haven't gone the yet, it's about cleansing and renewing again
quite fitting for Matariki.
Speaker 3 (03:14):
But the wind, yeah they were cleaned by the rain. Yeah,
there's beautiful. It's so poetic and just I find such
a moving song.
Speaker 2 (03:27):
It rolls off the tongue and you're right, it is.
Look at when I've sung it at Farewell. It's quite
an emotional moment and it's incredible because it's one of
those songs that covers generations of people and everyone sort
of has their own relationship with it. So I think, yeah,
a great one to put in there. Of course we
had to celebrate, like to really change it up. You've
got a beautiful song like that, and then you're going
to go full drum brace based electronica with and I
(03:50):
mean so he was the winner of the Tape Music
Prize for his album, and so he calls himself dark
Maldi Bass, So it's definitely got there. It's got that
electronica sound, but then also those traditional Mardy elements. It's
full immersion tol Mardi.
Speaker 3 (04:07):
And he wanted the song who are You? Who are You?
Speaker 2 (04:11):
Yeah, and you know, like, isn't that something we all
question ourselves about at times in our lives? And he
wanted to make an album in music that was very
you know, it's definitely an a sound and you're using
our language. So when you put that on a global stage,
you're like, there's no confusing where you've come from, right,
And I think that's just such an amazing thing. I
(04:31):
also didn't realize that he is one of the co
heads at Suwanana Wipe Up, but he's like one of
the tutors there. So this was kind of like I
think his he didn't think people knew, you know, like
to Aliss is like the doctor of language over the Yeah,
but then he wins the Tape Music Prize and like, hey, wait.
Speaker 4 (04:53):
A minute, you've just got You've got a real lovely
may It's like fast stuff, there's low stuff, there's there
are you know artist household names.
Speaker 3 (05:08):
The one that sounds like the nine Stars of matadi Key.
I'm glad that you didn't put that at near the end,
so we still have what five songs afterwards before, you know,
to try and cleanse our palettes before.
Speaker 2 (05:18):
The Airworm of Makaa is like sucking your heir. The
Loopy Tunes song, which has a kid's song, but I
think is still really beautiful for family. Is Hereungi, which
happens to be mine or my daughter's favorite star, because
that's the wishing star. So if you wanted to make
a wish throughout Matadiki weekends, and that's the star you're
looking for, he you found the cluster. Although you're in
you're in Kennada.
Speaker 3 (05:37):
I found the cluster before I found the cluster, before,
before I headed off, I found the cluster. I was
actually lucky enough to yeah, yeah, h lucky enough to
be in Tahuna this week in Queenstown. Oh you got clear.
Speaker 2 (05:48):
Skuys, big broad sky to see that. We keep a
bit of aland bit of cloud across Auckland. But anyway,
we'll get there. The song that you're going to play
very soon is the brand new drop for Matadiki. This
is part of why are to Anthems? What an amazing
collaboration Kaylee Bell, Troy Kingy and Rob Ruha. So that
was the music that those guys represent is in Mathai
(06:10):
Ki hun Nui. It's about bringing people together and again
that's what it's about. But it's just the most catchy, ridiculous, clever,
fun song that makes me feel good and I yeah,
as well as being an absolute ear wormb which is
going to replace the Machaven.
Speaker 3 (06:28):
Okay, I'm going to cut you off right now so
that we can save time to play that because that
sounds like a bit of me as well. Thank you
so much, Estelle. The full playlist the ten tracks that
Estelle has chosen for us. All will be on the
