In 2005, Glenn and the band he formed won a Battle Of The Bands competition on the island of Maui. With numerous performances already under his belt, Glenn formed Maoli in early 2008 with a new lineup of talented musicians. This Fall marks the release of Maoli's full-length debut album entitled, Groovin, on Pacific Island Records. The album's lead single, No One, is already receiving airplay statewide and is gaining popularity on island music airwaves. Other standout tracks from Maoli include the heartfelt Write Me A Letter, a song about missing a loved one, featuring Malino’s Braddah Vince and the uptempo, Groovin’, featuring the sweet vocal sounds of Piilani Arias.
Blew It
Maoli Lyrics

Keep on calling the rain
Is something I'ven't longing for, oh no
'Cause I knew it
You ask something good, now you blew it
Don't try to get out when you're done with
And I ain't tryna see you no more
No more, no more, no more, no more, no
You say you want me but you barely even call me baby
Tell what's the deal?
You say you need me then you go off on the street baby
Tell me are you for real?
'Cause I'm just try find a real thing (can't be)
Tryna blame me like a fool say sorry
It's not the kind of person I think I wanna be
Use me for curiosity ohh
Baby, I ain't tryna play your game
Keep on calling the rain
Is something I'ven't longing for, oh no
'Cause I knew it
You ask something good, now you blew it
Don't try to get out when you're done with
And I ain't tryna see you no more
No more, no more, no more, no more, no
So let's just take back a minute
And tell me what you real wanna do
'Cause I'm over of your little game you're playing
And I'm kinda getting over you too
It was something that was paranoid
But I know what's about to happen
Baby girl, you been out of my life
And I ain't gonna need you no more
No more, no more, no
Baby, I ain't tryna play your game
Keep on calling the rain
Is something I'ven't longing for, oh no
'Cause I knew it
You ask something good, now you blew it
Don't try to get out when you're done with
And I ain't tryna see you no more
No more, no more, no more, no more, no
Hey yo-ho
But I know ya sweet chat-chat
Me know ya fake smile
Everything that you've been girl
I've been doing just fine
Rough and everything just going inna mi line
Sorry you can't say likewise eh
All she wants is da Dinero
And I just can't be a hero
She deserve a mandate zero
No wonder she can't see herself inna de mirror (I only see)
Baby, I ain't tryna play your game (so I let go)
Keep on calling the rain
Is something I'ven't longing for, oh no (I don't wanna to call a day baby)
'Cause I knew it
You ask something good, now you blew it (yes you've been now)
Don't try to get out when you're done with (you're done with)
And I ain't tryna see you no more
No more, no more, no more, no more, no
In Maoli's song, Blew It, the singer is addressing a former lover. The singer expresses their disinterest in playing games with the person or being manipulated by them any longer. The rain that is repeatedly mentioned throughout the song symbolizes the burdens and struggles caused by the former lover's actions. The singer acknowledges that they initially had hopes for the relationship, but the other person "blew it" and ruined their chances. The singer also calls out the other person's insincere behavior, emphasizing that they want a genuine connection and cannot tolerate being used for curiosity or convenience.
The chorus of the song emphasizes the singer's resolve to move on and not look back. They are tired of the other person's games and are done with the relationship. The final verse of the song is a rap verse that provides a male perspective on the situation. The male rapper similarly acknowledges the woman's fake behavior and manipulative nature, and emphasizes that he is not interested in being her hero or providing her with money.

God I truly truly and deeply appreciate and miss the times in life when this song was popping on "Da Paina" and my life was just cruisin, 🤙🏼🤙🏼🤙🏼 surfin for 10 hrs a day and even working was awesome then. Now I'm in Houston Texas because I decided to chase the money so I can afford a family and be able to buy a house and hopefully 🙏🏼🙏🏼🙏🏼 some land on Big Island. I know it'll be worth it in the end but man it's so hard listening to songs like this and thinking of those times when life was so much better and easier and more enjoyable and get depressed thinking about how much everything is changed. It'll work out though God is on all of our sides 🙏🏼🙏🏼🙏🏼🙏🏼✝️✝️✝️
