Waiata Māori: Mirage - 'Summer Won't Be The Same'

Feel the vibe of summer with Mirage’s Summer Won’t Be The Same—a track that blends groovy energy with heartfelt emotion, available in English, Te Reo Māori, and a full Te Reo Māori version.

Summer Won’t Be The Same' by Mirage was inspired by a personal experience of heartbreak, following a breakup. The song's groovy and upbeat energy contrasts with the vulnerability behind its creation, as the band channeled their emotions into a track that speaks to moving on and embracing change.

The band released the track in both English and Te Reo Māori versions, as well as a full Te Reo Māori version, showcasing their commitment to cultural representation.

With Ben Horlock (Ngāti Porou, Ngāti Ranginui, Te Arawa) leading the way, alongside Jaevyn Douglas (Ngāi Te Rangi), Jacob Roos (Ngāpuhi), Josh Glennie, and Angelo Cruzat, the song blends personal reflection with a feel-good summer vibe.
