Louis Cato & The Late Show Band - "This Time of Year"
FAMILY IS SOMETHING WE ALL KNOW ABOUT
EVERYBODY COMES FROM SOMEONE
IT AIN'T HARD TO FIGURE OUT
BROTHER, SISTER MOTHERHOOD,
AND ALL DIFFERENT FORMS
BY BLOOD OR BY CHOICE
BROUGHT TOGETHER BY THE STORM
IT'S HARD TO SAY GOODBYE TO
SOMEONE WHO IS BY YOUR SIDE
BUT I'D RATHER HAVE THESE TEARS
THAN TO MISS ALL THE GOOD TIMES WE HAD WITH YOU HERE
THAT'S WHY WE'RE LIGHTING THE CANDLES, SINGING SONGS
TELLING YOUR STORIES ALL NIGHT LONG
HOW DID IT GO WHEN YOU WERE NEAR
THINKING OF YOU THIS TIME OF YEAR
Ngā mihi harikoa ki a koutou, mo te rā whakatā ā-ture o Matariki.
Happy Matariki public holiday everyone.
In Te Reo Māori, #Matariki is the name of a star cluster known in English as the Seven Sisters. Subaru to the Japanese. Pleiades to astronomers, and ancient Greeks and Romans.
For Māori, seeing Matariki in the night sky marks the start of a new year. As winter solstice passes, a time to reflect on the year ended, and envision the year to come.
In that spirit, a little #TechHistory ...
