Lukela Keala, Akoni Dellomes & Makapu Hoopii attended Baldwin High School and were enrolled in the music class. Day after day they would have little jam sessions but always tried to perfect what they played. As the year went by, their talents allowed them to perform in front of an audience for the first time at Brown Bags to Stardom. Although they took 2nd place to ballerina dancers, it didn't stop them. Former Baldwin High school teacher, Kevin Brown plays a great role in their music history today. He's not only their ukulele and slack key guitarist teacher but also Lukela's uncle. He taught them the values of becoming a musician but most important, to be humble. Since then Lukela, Akoni and Makapu strived to become the entertainers they are today.

What she really needs
Ekolu Lyrics

Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴

She's the simple kind of woman
She's the one for me
Doesn't ask for much in life
But I know she needs
Oh but when she's feeling down I
Got the remedies, yeah
Some affection and attention
Is what she really needs

All she really wants is love and
Whisper tenderly, yeah
Sweet caressing all night long
Is what she really needs

Oh I guess you can say I'm lucky
To know she's mine
No need riches in this world
To satisfy this girl of mine
She don't need no, fancy jewelry
Or shiny diamond rings, no
All she wants is sweet, sweet love and
That's what she really needs

All she really wants is love and
Whisper tenderly, yeah
Sweet caressing all night long
Is what she really needs

(Repeat Verse 2)
That's what she really needs

What she really needs
Yeah yeah
