The Pounamu's epic: Te Aroha a Poutini me Waitaiki by Nibriell published on 2024-03-27T18:50:01Z "The Pounamu's epic: Te Aroha a Poutini me Waitaiki" is a poignant tune breathed into being from that heart-wrenching Maori legend of love and sacrifice and eternal bond. This folk song is rich in New Zealand's cultural heritage. It penetrates into the love, unrequited love of Poutini—the keeper of sacred Pounamu—for the beautiful Waikiki. Against the magic landscapes of Te Wai Pounamu, this is their story, enacted in a composition that marries sad and romantic moods to reflect the complex emotions of the tale. I aimed to encapsulate the essence of the story through its reflective pace with a medium variation, at times reaching its emotional peak, vividly portraying the depth of Poutini's turmoil and love. Then, by drawing a melancholic D minor key, with mixed vocals, man and woman, and the deepness of the bass guitar, it pulls the listener on a journey of eternal love and promises. 'The Pounamu's epic, Te Aroha a Poutini me Waitaiki,' is not just a song; it's a love soundscape etched into the awe-inspiring landscape of Aotearoa. The melody weaves a tale, each note beckoning the listener into a realm where folklore and music combine, and the spirits of Poutini and Waitaiki reside. The tranquil waters are adorned with myriad Pounamu stones, a testament to their eternal love. Follow me on and listen as the tale of Poutini and Waitaiki resounds through your love, sacrifices, fullness, and emptiness, which come with the human pursuit of connection experiences.
