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.
My Reason
Maoli Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
Tell me why I think of you every minute every hour
Even when my mama told me boy just take it easy
I told her mama you don't know what she does to me
She calls me funny. I call her honey. Baby we can do this all day
Just come on closer. Baby let me hold ya, I just want this night with you
And we can just dance let the music get a chance
Play your favorite songs that you love to sing along to
When all your empty bottles just start just start falling on the floor
Girl you make it easy to call you my reason
I never thought my life would be a bed roses
But now I got you I know life is what you make it
It might get harder when our seasons go through changes
But I don't care because ive got my special lady
To call me funny. To call me honey. Baby we can do this all night
Just come on closer. Baby let me hold ya, I just want this night with you
Baby we can just dance let the music get a chance
To bring you a little closer right into my arms
Play your favorite songs that you love to sing along to
When all your empty bottles just start falling on the floor
Girl you make it easy to call you my reason
I aint tryin love anybody but you, no
And if we had a million year this is just what I'd like to do
I'd just like to dance let the music get a chance
To bring you a little closer right into my arms
Play your favorite songs that you love to sing along to
When all your empty bottles just start clinging to the ground
Girl you make it easy to call you my reason

My husband passed away six months ago. I cant help but listen to this song on repeat and think about how we would dance to something like this or even play it at our wedding. I cry every time I hear this song bc my reason is in heaven but I hope he and I can dance to something beautiful like this when we meet again. Maybe one day. My angel is and will always be my reason.

My favorite Hawaiian Country song!
We recently went on a cruise of the Islands. Besides being the most beautiful paradise in the freakin' world! The people were awesome-
so rich in their culture--music, family, happiness. When we got back to San Diego, I started finding more Hawaiian music artists-Omg... so many genres and soooooo much talent! ! Thank you Maoli for sharing your love, your gift of music that touches the soul and opens hearts.If everyone listened to more Hawaiian artists, this world would change--I know I have!
Namaste

I have no idea why some of the words were crossed out 😕
@rochelle_cha
If you enclose a group of words within dashes/hyphens, it’ll strike through the entire sentence in between. Hope that helps :)
