The Climb - Stan Walker

 

 Stan Walker is a critically acclaimed New Zealand singer who started his career by winning the Australian Idol. The song 'The Climb' is apart of of his 2009 album Introducing Stan Walker. In my personal opinion I think he sang this song because of cancer and his emotional problems that can only be expressed through a meaningful song. One interesting thing I found out about Stan Walker was that he has a tattoo on his neck that reads Ataahua.(Which means beautiful)
