[OneTruity]

So true, his music brings tears to my eyes, the sense of spirit - love - consciousness is amazing love it.

[chunkyjitsuguy]

[albertsneijMD]

I do not understand a single word; but it seems as if I understand ...

it makes me wish that I go to the Island , in order to meet my ancestors of 100 millions years.

My soul can melt. Peace to all. by the way , We need a sorry day in America, now

[11Tigeress11]

BEAUTIFUL MAN, BEAUTIFUL SOUL, LOVE HIM. WONDERFUL AMBASSADOR FOR INDIGINOUS AUSTRALIANS & THOSE WHO SEE WITHOUT EYES. BLESS YOU GEOFFREY.

[bvsiness]

Indeed he gets some kind of approval here, and he does exist...

[auntierhee01]

I first heard this song on the radio and it gave me goosebumps and a deep sense of calm. He is very talented

[MrGaza1972]

When ever I feel down I play his CD and it gives me a true piece of mind with what ever may be on my mind........

[357HFC]

hauntingly beautiful, cannot say it better. It matters not what colour. It matters not a lot what we see, It matters what is in us. This guy has plenty!

[357HFC]

hauntingly beautiful, cannot say it better.

[brother17yo]

An Indigenous Idol.

[fragilebeaster]

I got tears in my eye and no words to say... Absolutely greatness!! Greetings from Finland! :)

[Linguiphile]

@PDS101Boosts Thank you so much for both the upload and the translation. I've listened to several of Mr. Yunupingu's songs, and am moved at each rehearing.

I study the Gupapuyngu and Djambarrpuyngu dialects of Yolngu, and hope to be able someday to understand his songs in his original Gumatj.

[qualqui]

Beautiful Vibes of good Geoffrey Gurrumul Yunupingu,....truly an inspiration for us all,...thumbs up to ya PDS101BOOSTS and thankin' my sweet sister Tanya for the AWESOME share! = )

[TheCandyfloss88]

i know his nieces

[Jarrahnut]

Even an old bastard like me finds this very moving. G'day to everyone, especially my lovely BelfastFolk friends ... from Jarrahnut in wonderful Western Australia.

[mothelian]

it's odd they're adding cellos & strings to Geoff's song - it's better just him & the guitar.

[MistaNoble]

Soo beautiful... thanx for the translation or an idea of what hes singin 'bout, Im sure theres more depth in the understanding of the song but it can be difficult to translate to english!!

Awesome!

[peteski321]

Beautiful

[lancedboyle]

@turndogquick I think you missed what @surfiestyles was saying when he said "sickest aboriginal in australia" sick means awesome ,fantastic,sensational,great! Its an aussie saying.

[lancedboyle]

@turndogquick I think or I am hoping you missed what @sufriestyles is saying,sick as in fully sick as in sensational,great ,fantastic,awesome.

[TheCamena]

Speaking as one of those redneck convicts alluded to here earlier....I have his album and play it often. I am completely in awe of this mans talent. Anyone that can evoke an emotional response of the soul the way Geoffrey does, has a god given talent that the world and all its people should pay attention to. There is a lot people can learn if they took a back seat in their own racist vehicles and let Gurrumul do the driving.

[ernjoe2]

Too good for "youtube" should be on everyones "ipod"

[SythOfDeath69er]

@ernjoe2 hes on my ipod :)

[tharpoon]

@turndogquick i love how everyone fires up as soon as a "racist, bigotted convict" (read: caucasian) even say Aboriginal in a sentence.

[Hughesyhfc]

most beautifully created song ever, i cry every time i hear it

[chapunto]

fantastic

[MegaRazorback]

[nimbostratusdweller]

Gurrumul is haunting as he plucks the strings of the human heart with his expression and amazing voice.♥♥♥

[surfiestyles]

[chapunto]

[Bushyfoxy]

His music takes me on a journey to places beyond sorrow, pain and loneliness......He takes me to joyful places of social harmony and happiness.

[lonleyelephant]

only 1 word can describe this guy "amazing"

[TwoDogsX2]

wow this guy is a genius

[wood4me]

Some things in life defy description. Emotionally evoking, this music is good for the human soul.

[JLandy1990]

@wood4me I've found a channel that is definitely good for the soul—TheWTMchannel. It describes through biology what we feel when listening to Gurrumul Yunupingu.

[MrTrib1]

Absolutley magnificent and inspiring.

[nunukatUTUBE]

Wow Great!! Maymak!!!

I am studying Yolngu Matha now, Hope one day I would have a chance to come to his performance.

Djutdjut:-)

[tommyaust]

I didn't know I had sooooo many goosebumps. Wonderful song and singer.

[logrhythm]

Absolutely beautiful.

[gamilaroiboy]

I am of Aboriginal descent, I am not religious or spiritual. When I listen to Geoffery I get goose bumps. Maybe I am spiritual!

[Pedreiro1978]

Never heart something compared!

[spld1996]

He has a wonderful voice

[Rubindiadem]

Perfekt

[muluczinho22]

what an amazing man with an such a devine spirit!!!

[EmmaEremophobia]

WoW! Amazing!

[yamlette]

CD écouté un matin très tôt dans une campagne anglaise... La douceur de sa voix nous offre sérénité avec un peu de nostalgie d'un quelque chose perdu à jamais

[fuambaelvis]

A mixture of sadness a sérénity. this song just explain my feelings!

Une combinason de sérénité et de nostagie, cette change décrit dans une voie inconnu mes émotions.

1 love

[yamlette]

Vous avez raison, toutes les émotions dans une voix...

[rogerthurman]

How the hell does he do it - happy tears in my eyes!

[sharvie73]

from the heart, I guess.

[pooh1234567890]

Thanks for the recommended artists below, I'll check them out

[susanah302]

beautiful

[goebels99]

His way of singing is very reminiscent of the style of Salif Keita from Mali. He is another great. People whose songs, irrespective of language barriers, still allow one to understand something fundamental about being HUMAN!

[petazed]

Warumpi Band should be added to the list below too, particularly the song 'Black Fella, White Fella' - an AWESOME song. Another to listen to is Christina Anu...and there are many others that I have not mentioned here.....

[petazed]

In respose to the comment below asking about other Aboriginal music artists...Try checking out the Saltwater Band, Archie Roach, Ruby Hunter, Narbalek and Yothu Yindi. Another act to check out is Ego Lemos from East Timor, he supported Gurrumul on his recent tour, a lovely man with a beautiful soul, well worth having a listen to..

[pooh1234567890]

Does anyone know of any other aboriginal music, I would like to check some out cheers.

[coromby]

Want some tears? Listen to Archie Roach "Took The Children Away"

[2vogue4u]

this is so awesome!!! what a touching voice and melody... heard it on german radio station swr3 for the first time... love also the song WIYATHUL...

[rychissnz]

Wow! That was incredibly moving. Thanks for the upload.

[lauraaa33]

the BEST!

this is so beautiful, it gives me a tear! x x x x x

[MrDoommeredith]

does anyone know where i can find english translation to his lyrics

[coromby]

Buy the CD. All lyrics are translated. Best cd you will ever buy!

[Silviagirl345]

heavenly music :) thank you

[jjaypatton]

WOW WOW WOW WOW WOW WOW Beautiful absolutely awesome

[gojokboy]

we Aboriginies from the N.T we got talent in our lives and we can show it to the world just like every one esle we just have to put our mind to it.....

[sideshowbobmarley]

I agree im not aboriginal, but my time spent on groote eylandt with the wanamanara people showed me that if you people git rid of the grog, stop trying to "westernize", and git back to your roots you'll not only rule this country, your people will take their rightful place in this world...Jah live in the dreamtime!!

[thabuddsta]

this song is so beautiful! It is about the passing of his father. heart breaking. pls google geofferys work. the english translation is amazing. what a powerful soul he has. I take my hat off to him.

[1964kipper]

what a lovely song best i heard in a long time andi

[brookwalker]

i first heard this in my car last week WOW i had to stop the car turn of the phone and ive NEVER done that before i cant put into words the power of this singer . it creates the feeling of tears runing down my back goosebumps on my arms. just wow

[julestheangel]

Hav jst come across him and this song moved me to tears so haunting so lyrical and so much my kind of music! WOW !

[Pulcheria777]

I have tears streaming down my face watching this...

[ANDREWW7816]

I have only just come across Mr Yunupingu and I cannot, in all of my life, ever say I have heard such haunting melodies, done to the point where i weep, never has someone touched my heart so much, I am a die hard Journey fan, sorry, was, I am now a die hard Yunupingu fan as well. AMAZING. What an inspiration. Thank you Mr Yunupingu. I dont think I have the right to call him Geoffrey.

[killiekentman]

stunning. heard this on the radio.

[rusbern]

deadly

[petazed]

I was at his performance at the Palais Theatre last night. I had tears streaming down my face from the moment he began singing. An absolutely amazing, transendentally beautiful experience. He received a full audience standing ovation and deserved nothing less. Thank you Gurrumul.

[rector28]

one of the most beautiful songs i have ever heard from one of the most inspirational people i have ever come across

[g4nd4lf666]

SUPERB !!!!!!!!

[sidensvans54]

Wow.!!

[clarebannerman]

Just beauuuuuuuuutiful ♪♫ ♥ 5*****

[marthaBot]

Just beautiful, he is a lovely guy, it comes straight from the heart.

[ronayne88]

It's great to see this guy become so successful. Not only is an absolutely gifted musician, but he's had to overcome blindness and even learn to play a right handed guitar upside-down to suite his left handed usage. Such a pure voice. I don't have a clue what is being said or anything but am totally addicted. It's total chill out music. 5 stars. Keep up the good work!

[Oroby]

Very nice, touching!

[ianomahoney]

very beautiful ,what is he saying

[martcarey]

he is lamenting the soul of his blessed father (bapa).

[RosettaH1]

This is Amazing.. Too Deadly.. :-)

[Tearsoftheworld]

He is gifted with a great talent!!

[ididjaustralia]

beaut!

[Nunyamum]

This has touched my heart.

[zootsuit]

Awesome!!!

[kickittome70]

He makes me feel something that I like to feel

[theredhackle22]

What a talent ,  great

[tommyaust]

What an extraordinary man, what an extraordinary voice and what an extraordinary song. Stand up Aboriginal Australians and take a bow.

[monkeypuzzle351]

beyond awesome

[maureenagnes]

The beauty of an angel.

[theredhackle22]

There I go gettin that ol I racism tag again. I did , however spend a couple years Nursing up in Darwin and the islands so I do have some idea of what i'm talking about .

[theredhackle22]

donno where you come from with that "appalling racism " gibe. he no doubt grew up in less than optimal circumstances but few of us do.He is a greatly gifted individual , who deserves to be celebrated , but finger pointing dont help.

[SapperK9]

Even to an old soldier atheist like me, this man can make me believe in special gifts from heaven!

Breathakingly moving...

[chingping]

what war did you fight in?

[tommyaust]

Your finally getting it SapperK9. A miracle has saved my life on two occations and it could have only been through the blessing of God. Spend some time in the presence of the Blessed Sacrement and you WILL know that there is a God :-)

[theredhackle22]

Just the facts maam

-cut the crap till 1.40

He is a blind Aboriginal singer songwriter from the Tiwi Islands north of Darwin

-Unable to get a left handed guitar in his community he plays a right handed guitar upside down

He is brilliant.

[lappinsilver]

unbelievble with no single or promo released to radio and stores, his album goes to number 3 on the aria album charts on an independant label what an inspiraion gurumul is such a great album

[banksiasong]

a man who can overcome the appalling racism

that is the continuing shame of Australia.

you are a man of yolngu people,

a man of Australia,

and a man of the world.

Love you Gurrumul.

[asdiijkl]

this is cool

[xStraightEdgeXXX]

This man is truly amazing

[bdd96]

Not That Good..... But Still Good.

Good For Him Doing Something Nice Like That

[cozminos]

Voice of an angel. I had the TV on in the background while doing housework. I had to stop and watch. it stirred something inside me and I couldnt stop watching.....amazing

[slols]

That said, as great as Gotye is, i am going to point out that the two are still leagues apart. Geoffrey Gurrumul Yunupingu is a musician that can unify australia, even if he can't unify the world.

[slols]

No musician ever had left me in tears before i saw this performance. Simply incredible. As for the charts, i work in jb hi fi and the record 'Gurrumul' goes flying out the door faster than any other at the moment. Between Geoffrey and Gotye, australia has found to exceptionally talented gems that we must share with the world. So amazing.

[F3N3R4LIF]

best song ever when i listern to this song it feel so different. I just think you are the best man ever love your song expecially.

Thank you very much good luck with your other song thank you very much.

[TwistedTania]

You are such a amazing man - the beauty in your music touches your soul and how lucky we are that you share this beauty - Thank You

[KarleneK]

Thank you for sharing your beauty with us. I love your music and have to listen to you everyday. You evoke pure joy and serenity in my heart. Thank you.

[Coolum1]

Aren't we so lucky to have someone so beautiful and talented on our own door-step.

Peace and love

[KosmicJanis]

Beautiful, thank you for sharing this with me. I look forward to my Austrailan trip and our outing to see him. Peace, my friend.

[ordprima]

amazing ! like song from heaven.....

[Mellorax]

How this guy isn't on top of the charts I have no idea.

Bravo.

[boitoiz79]

i cant recall when the last time if ever a song not only made me cry but caused me to rush out and buy a cd, this guy is an amazing artist.... a credit and inspiration to not only his own people but to all people in general... truly amazing

[Cheborneck]

I purchased his CD last week & played it as background music when we had 14 people visiting. He brought the house to a standstill! Even the kids stopped what they were doing!Such beautiful music.

[cbalderramas]

When I listened him for the first time I cryed...He is an amazing musician! :))

[HideousHumanHoax]

Epic.... gta be 1 of australias most beautiful songwriters ever. Absolutely brilliant!

[iysyd]

I don't usually comment on vids but I felt like I needed to.

One word: Wow !!

[jediganesh]

Brilliant! his song truly transcends all boundaries. Truly music for the soul.

[nigelgina]

Wow, what a voice. Im a bloke with tears in my eyes.

[theredhackle22]

what a brilliant guy. I hope you stay true to yourself forever

[Robags]

Amazing - he stole the Arias show last night. A true inspiration.

[BoltertheSplitEnzwiz]

This is an example of a true Australian artist.Much more deserving of Album of the Year then shithouse dance groups like The Presets.

[Dmoe82]

awesome, transecends language...

[BeyondTheWake]

that was so amazing, i got shivers just watching that and almost brought me to tears.

[simweld]

this guy is a true master my rating was a pointer error 10 stars if i could. great stuff mate keep it up u are a credit to your race and an australian treasure.
