I remember when this video only had 50k views; yet as I continue to play replay it each day, its glory never ceases. Thank you John Butler, for this amazing piece of music that continues to inspire the world each day. :]
@CooK371 seroiusly dood! who in their right mind could not like this much less take the time to listen and then actually press "dislike"??? people are so crazy... good thing there's beautiful people like John :)
if somebody came up to me and told me that when John Butler takes a shit he uses Jimmy Page tabliture to wipe his ass, i would 100% believe them. seriously one of, if not the best, guitarist i've ever had the pleasure of hearing.
If you just had an eargasm, it's because this guy was making out with his guitar in front of you in public so ... just one thing left to say... Thank you
i recently took a liking to a guitarist called jason becker. he played a guitar solo like nothing else i had ever seen and some clever little tircks aswell. but this, this is just pure emotion and, frankly, IT KICKS ASS!!
the first time i heard this song I was determined to learnt it by ear and make the first authentic piano cover. I've been working on it everyday since 3 months on trying to make it sound as perfect and similar to Butler's version. Please have a look at it and thank you for your feedback!!
@UberLeonid I mean, saying this is *the* very best song of all time is probably an exaggeration, but I haven't seen that many performances as good as this. These 5 minutes always make me go through so many emotions, it's like a story being told and there is no need for lyrics. Btw I don't know why people even call electro/techno/house "music", they're just cheap generic beats with no meaning or complexity. Which is good to dance to or whatever, but ultimately they are senseless
probably been watching this video once a week or so for a year, idk where all the jack sparrow comments came from but all of a sudden theres a pirate of the caribbean video on the side
@evanballeweg I saw this peice performed live at the OAKS hotel at Albion Park Rail on Sunday. The guitarist was Caleb Garfinkel. who played with Joel Spence. It brought the house down with a standing ovation. Every bit as good as John Butler himself. These guys are great and deserve to be heard. JB is sensational.
Dear person who uploaded this: 1) youre a GENIUS! 2) youre a LEGEND and 3) LOL at "I will not send anybody a video or mp3 of this"...! Thank you so much for doing that! :-)
Never thought a guitar alone could make me want to cry. So much emotion. I want to go frolic on the beach and be happy :) asdfgsdfdfkashdgfkjahgsdkfjaghdsf
804 people should be shot, castrated, drawn and quartered, forced to listen to Justin Bieber, Reece Mastin and One Direction at the same time and then finally decapitated by a swing from John Butler's guitar.
can i just say to all of you out there who knows what the soul of music is and if you feel it you know what im taking about.... please take 5 mins of your life every day and celebrate what we have by feeling the soul in this song
Can anybody Tell me on witch Album this Version is? I got live at St. Gallen and live at red Rocks but this is the best One.
