    Hawaii 78: A Short, Long Story

    by

    So what is the story behind Hawaii 78, the powerful song made famous by Israel Kamakawiwoʻole. We all know that it was written by Mickey Ioane and made famous by Bruddah Iz in Facing Future.

    But according to Kawika Crowley, there is a whole lot more to the story. You can read the whole story at his website: http://www.hawaiiseventyeight.com/, but here’s my attempt to make a long story, as told by Crowley, short.

    How would they feel about the changes of our land?

    Back in October 1976, Cleyton Kua of the band Da Blahlas visits Crowley’s home and tells him about this amazing young musician named Mickey Ioane from Keaukaha.

    The next day, they drive along the edge of Hilo Bay to the Ioane home and they listen to Ioane perform:

    “…the next two minutes I will never forget… chicken-skin upon chicken-skin. When the final chord was played, there was utter silence. I knew I had just heard a jewel of a song, but I knew what still had to be done…”

    Cry for the gods, cry for the people

    After hearing the song Crowley said:

    “Micky you have written the beginnings of a classic, but it’s not complete… it needs a chorus”

    But the shocking thing is what Crowley says next. He says that he wrote the chorus:

    The verses Micky had written were so stunningly powerful and moving that I was overwhelmed with the energy… the chorus was written in just less than 20 minutes…

    Ua Mau ke Ea o ka ‘Āina i ka Pono

    “The life of the land is perpetuated in righteousness.” According to Crowley, this haunting line was not part of the original song but was added later by Abe Keala:

    “in the summer of ‘77 a member of Da Blahlas, the late great Abe Keala, got together with Micky in a jam session working the song. The result was the birth of the beautiful and haunting line “Ua mau. . .ke’ea oka “

    Bruddah, Bruddah

    So how did it come to pass that no one knew who else helped to write this amazing song? Crowley says:

    Back in the ‘70’s in the music business, at least on the Big Island, it was all “Brahda Brahda” when it came to songwriting credits. Many of the songs recorded by my artists were co-written by me in efforts to elevate a song to its potential commercial value… but I would refuse to attach my name to the song.

    The Wrong Lyrics?

    The lyrics of the chorus go like this:

    How, would they feel, could their smiles be content, then cry
    Cry for the gods, cry for the people
    Cry for the land that was taken away
    And then yet you’ll find, Hawai’i

    But Crowley says that the original lyrics were a little different:

    The original version of the words I wrote and which appeared on the first version were as follows: “How would they feel… would they smile, be content, or just cry… cry for the Gods, cry for the people, cry for the land that was taken all away… and then… BID… GOODBYE… HAWAII”…

    This actually does seem to make a little more sense. If you are crying for the land that was taken away, why would you find it in the next line? It seems to make a little more sense to say goodbye to it.

    But Wait, There’s More

    It turns out a fourth person had a hand in writing the song. According to Crowley:

    Just three years after the writing of this story (2003), I was on a phone call chatting with Cleyton Kua about a number of topics, including the song “Hawaii ‘78”. I was sharing with him my desire to place this story on a website entitled hawaii78.com. Out of nowhere he almost shyly stated, “Dave, I wrote one of the verses.”

    To Make a Long Story, Short

    So to make a long story short, Hawaii 78, according to Crowley, was written by four people: Micky Ioane, Abe Keala, Cleyton Kua, and Kawika Crowley.

    This is the account of one source and I have no reason to doubt it, but I would love to hear what other people have to say. So if you have any input on this incredible story, please let me know.
