Tahi Ka Riri
Marei , Music Video – 2024
I spent a long time being angry at myself for being angry. But, I have slowly started learning to dance with my riri (anger). I want to be able to understand why she comes and what she's protecting me from.
– Mareikura Nathan on the core emotion behind 'Tahi Ka Riri', in Waiata Anthems 2024
Breathe in, tahi ka riri. Breathe out. / Breathe in, first is anger. Breathe out.
– Lyrics from 'Tahi Ka Riri'
Tahi Ka Riri is about my riri (anger), but I didn't really want to write it in a way where I'm yelling at people and it's angry...I wanted to just explain why I have that type of emotion.
– Mareikura Nathan on the inspiration behind 'Tahi Ka Riri', in Waiata Anthems 2024
