Local singers, Sean and Amanda O'Connor recorded this song along with views of New Zealand on video.
Spirit of our land


Sadly, Amanda passed away last Sunday, 20th November.
I just wanted to share this lovely song and the lovely lady singing it.
RIP Amanda.
Robyn

Just tonight returned from 16 days on Waiheke Island and very much 'pumped up' with the Spirit of that Land.

There are worse epitaphs . . .

I didn't know the lady but her song really does justice to that beautiful land.

RIP madam, may her relatives find peace.

Thank you so much for sharing this. The video and the song are both stunning and a beautiful legacy for New Zealand and for Amanda to have left behind. My condolences to her family and friends but what a mark she has left on and for the world. Thank you all.

I can't believe I went through most of a life and didn't hear Amanda O'Connor's beautiful voice before her death. What a sad loss for her family, but in another context, what a great loss to the world of music.

I love that video. It is at once touching, proud and compassionate. What a legacy.

Thank you, Robyn

Hello to you all who love this song and the beautiful voice of Amanda. I am Amanda's sister and I am trying to come to terms with my tragic loss. But I want you to know that your love for Amanda and this song is most heartwarming. It truly is a most wonderful legacy to her. Thank you for your condolences and may this song continue to touch people. She was truly remarkable.

Much love
Annabel

You are more than welcome Annabel, many people leave this world with little to show they have been there, Amanda didn't. She left it a better place, for leaving something beautiful.

As I said above, there are worse epitaphs.

I truly hope you all find peace, it catches you out when you least expect it, but does improve with time.

Thank YOU also for taking the trouble to tell us - that was a nice thing to do too.
