JOSH PYKE: The Lighthouse Song

[4juxtapose4]

the harmony is harmony

[PRS2TheEnd]

I love how he can integrate the word fuckers into an amazingly beautiful acoustic love song, that takes SKILL! :D

[peemnutblubber]

The stuff in the background was amazing! It looked like it was fun to make.

[SquizzyT89]

8 people must have clicked on this thinking it was little wayne .

[lachlan11ful]

@rockerduff1231, look, i also like the music that you like, i think some of the bands you listed are fantastic, but that doesn't mean you can be a cock sucking dick head to other people just because they listen to what they like, you don't like it, to fucking bad, just don't listen to it, Im not even australian, I'm english and i like it, i think some australian artists like josh pike are awesome, and its hard to find them, so i don't expect for it to be ruined just because someone didnt like k?

[TheExodus911]

its called real music you fuck head it takes hard work to produce somethink so tender and crace full ... i would beat ten shades of shit out of you ..... your an ass hole

[Daniel46490]

[aislinnstokes]

He looks and sings like Jesus.

[mils0r]

@aislinnstokes jesus is black.

[aislinnstokes]

@mils0r

[KiraUrie]

[curryonyaface]

How indie.vomit

[OneAwesomeJack]

I had the privilege to see Josh Pyke live and it was the greatest experience of my life. Thank You Josh Pyke

[1tazjaz1]

This man makes me proud to be Australian.

[turdonmylips]

haha, i'll assume you're being sarcastic rockerduff. I love this song too, one of my personal favourites :-)

[rockerduff1231]

this song is just not that good...

[miazz2475]

@rockerduff1231 thats because you obviously don't appreciate real music.

[rockerduff1231]

@miazz2475 real music: led zeppelin, beatles, alice in chains...this song is not good...ive listened to it at least 5 times trying to get something out of it but it's just not good

[MrLugarN]

@rockerduff1231 who decides what real music is, we all like diffrent, and we will always do.

[rockerduff1231]

@MrLugarN yeah thats fine

[jessxzaff]

@rockerduff1231 Then don't listen to it, simple.

[rockerduff1231]

@jessxzaff no duh

[MrUndify]

@rockerduff1231 fuck your a cock sucker.

[rockerduff1231]

@MrUndify the song is lame!!! his entire catalog of music sounds lame!

[rockerduff1231]

eh...

[mbthomas]

Bury me on the moon

[justhatonegirl]

These videos are just amazing to me.

[TheBeautyFairy]

He has just melted my heart

[MzTsZ]

I got married last month. My husband and I cut our cake to this song <3

[Sumtinrandom]

@MzTsZ Congratulations!

[sofia09871]

such an amazing song.

[tommy622222]

Josh pyke looks like jesus, he just needs to grow a bit of a longer beard and hair and BOOM Jesus

[clist11]

the film clip for this is amazing

[mooschenker]

todas as musicas são tao perfeitas :D parece magica!

[23jess12]

6 people don't know real music, if it hit them between the eyes

[iTas09]

'I'll just hold you tight and will not let those fuckers in.'

It's so sweet :)

[laridget]

failure at life.

victor if your listening to this, fail.

[CaveofTwoLovers]

hes a good singer, but he seriously needs to lose some weight.

[MoviefanxXx15xXx]

@CaveofTwoLovers What the fuck is wrong with you? D: He's fine just the way he is. Jezus, everyone's so god damn obsessed with weight.

[CaveofTwoLovers]

@MoviefanxXx15xXx

I was talking in a professional view, not an emotional one.

[MoviefanxXx15xXx]

@CaveofTwoLovers It's more of an opinion than a professional view sweetheart. And I don't care what my view is. Just don't criticize him, it's annoying.

[h00kr4u]

@CaveofTwoLovers ARE YOU HIGH!?! Pinapple Express.. hahahah..

[CelticRaven163]

@CaveofTwoLovers lose weight?! are you trolling?

[beachblue5]

@CaveofTwoLovers I've known Josh Pyke my whole life and trust me he has never been fat. It's just the camera angles at different stages and the clothes he is wearing.

[HawaiisCW93]

@CaveofTwoLovers Are we looking at the same man??

I personally think he looks fucking gorgeous as he is.

[gabbgirl10]

oh i love this song to bits

[nerual92]

He's so sweet. I'm hella jealous of the lucky girl who gets him.

[MinusG]

@nerual92

guy who gets him*

[nerual92]

@MinusG uhm, no...still girl who gets him

[MinusG]

@nerual92

check his ear ring. he is completely gay

[nerual92]

@MinusG check out his music. he is completely straight.

[beachblue5]

@MinusG pretty sure he's married aye

[iTas09]

@MinusG heaps of straight guys have earrings.

[springfairy556]

I didn't know there was so many songs about lighthouses.

The Lighthouse Song

The lighthouse's tale

I wanna marry a lighthouse keeper

And there's probably more.I love lighthouses.

[TomHallMusic]

tears... damn you.... :) Stunning song mate - We Aussie's were starving for a classic songwriter like Cat Stevens until you came along. "Like the Pyke"

[MrGuineasaurusrex]

@TomHallMusic Dont forget John Butler :)

[MsTree1997]

good song

[MsTree1997]

I LOVE THIS SONG!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

[MusicalAndTall]

Hey have a look at my acoustic covers on my channel! :)

[Toyboy789]

Songs and performances like this gladden an old guy's heart! I'm 55, and was soooooooo heavily influenced by music that sounded like this in my teen years. But, that said, this is a beautiful love song and poem with a message! It has a freshness of its age! Thanks for a GREAT posting!

[RydWolf]

Huh.

In this song, the swearing is intact, but in the video for Middle of the Hill it's been removed.

[MsHippy72]

OMG he is so lovely he makes my heart melt

[COPH8N]

PopaMoth aka Mitch the Punk Bitch your a shit cunt

[kailakazoo]

so beautiful

[LR1409]

i keep hoping that one day Josh Pyke will visit the Netherlands, or Belgium... or Germany.. or even France.. I'm more than willing to travel for one of his shows, but Australia is just too far away and plaintickets are way to expensive :(

[elmozooster]

i love how he says 'fuckers' so naturally. lol :)

[cliffpup]

"ive been feeling like a fox with sad old eyes"

what a excellent lyric

[COPH8N]

Try Mumford and sons Little Lion Man

[popamoth]

@COPH8N try shutup

[COPH8N]

try Mumford and sons Little lion boy

[Nyzira]

^^ Great. He has a beautiful voice. ~

Thank you for the clip.

[mathplas]

Great music and awsome videoclip. it fits greatly with the song

[multifacetedIpavlova]

I couldn't have imagined a better film clip for this song :D

[heidiandco]

LOVE JOSH PYKE..the filmclip is awesome!

[1234dick4321]

i love you video clips, my favourite clip is middle of the hill, but this is probably my favourite song :)

[hazzdog1]

i can play this on gutiar its sooooo easy

[shabhagler]

wooooooooooow

[t1r2o3g4]

I love how even the swearing is still beautiful. It's well placed and not swearing for the sake of it, it fits.

[saggiehead]

@t1r2o3g4 The swearing is beautiful in "Someone Else's Town" too, it's great :) I love beautiful swearing :)

[jesslouise1994]

uhh ilove him! hes hot too.

[iBallCreature]

@jesslouise1994 im a straight guy & even i agree! lol

[nikkuz36]

Like a fox with sad old eyes... awesome.

[sshhiivvuumm]

[ex0nic]

[hughGwilly]

josh pyke is my favrot n i just found out my friends hav known him since he was a kid n im like "Y THE FUK WAS I NOT INFORMED!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!"

[Buddha117]

So weeee, are moving to the lighthouse, you and I...

[azangor]

fail, not the cool lighthouse song.

[ilikeglasses1]

@azangor then, my good friend, you have no taste in music.

[azangor]

@ilikeglasses1 check out Nickel Creek's The Lighthouse's Tale. Much better IMO! then we'll argue!

[marsjolta]

thanks for this, been trying to find out who this was, beautiful song.

[Alyxx161994]

I saw him at my x-country. at first he was introduced as mr pyke and i was like " He looks a lot like Josh Pyke." Then my idiot of a friend said it was josh pyke. I cried at her "I would have gotten his autograph! He's my fav artist!!!" I was so devo!!!

[rampletrash]

I saw him on the Monkey With a Drum tour,

he was fucking amazing.

So real.

[davethewebbuilder]

You passion of lighthouses is to be admired, and your photos are great thanks for shairing them, our lighthouse the 2nd oldest in Ireland ibuilt in 1761 is in sad neglect see my video, we need song writers like your self, LOL

[scott7582]

Saw Josh at The Northern in Byron last week. Was the highlight of my rained out flooded holiday down there. Power went out everywhere in byron that night and didn't think he'd be playing but he came through and played a great gig... even on the leaking stage. Cheers Josh. Thanks from braving it out. Amazing live. Best i've seen.

[SyrupTehSweet]

I listen to it OVER and over AND OvEr and over over over over over over over over!!!!!! x900000000

I love Josh Pyke he has such addicting moosic (hahha moosic, ima cow moo)

Moo out guys :P

[pacmannn69]

i saw josh pyke live

wasn't that special.

hes still good though

[jontaylor1989]

this guy is just too good i cant believe how addictive his stuff is

dont stop never stop the music

[ShakeTwistAndShout]

seeing him live in like 2 weeks in port :):)

[musiclover1342]

to ShakeTwistAndShout:

yay!

i saw him live a few days ago in ballarat =D it was amazing!!

i saw him afterwards to get a photo and nearly fainted hahah =]

[J3ssy0Jay]

i'm goinmg to that probz :D :D

[duabsy]

fucking deal with the swearing.

im sick of people saying "swearing ruins it"

Josh Pyke is fucking huge, and so is this song.

[weirdfishes112]

great song relaxes me all the time.

[FALLOUTBOYrock2345]

so emotional, the fuckers just adds to it

[DMS109]

i love that it says fuckers.

its funny. i love josh.

[cuteypie878787878787]

i love this song. i think all his songs rule

[NotTrying2BePerfect]

The swearing doesnt ruin anything for me. Its like when Lily Allen swears in her songs. It sounds a tad out of place but just makes it more interesting and have a bit of a twist. To me anyways.

[hwt003]

all i know that he's a great singer-songwriter and this is great song - one of my favourites. it's so hard to find a single artist/band who's songs are continually fresh and new...

[18phoeno]

I think its up to the artist whether he chooses to swear in the song. Its his creation and he should be able to do it the way he wants

[ninitavzla]

i agree

[Spunkdude73]

fuckers? lol it says "others" on the radio

[Aeonation]

the lyrics are fuckers, the only radio station i know that let it is triple J

[Milzah01]

yeahh i think the swearing sort of ruin the song ...

[Aeonation]

no way, its such a mellow song with a twist

[kinkymis]

His teeth ruins his looks, and the swearing also ruins the song but makes it a bit funny(: lol

[arcticwolf1985]

does josh look as these comments and vid responses himself?

[helmeles]

It's really cute song and the video is very original : )

[grabbedbytheghoulies]

every1 will have their different opinions about the swearing. i personally dont think it suits josh, he swears in other songs but here it is more obvious and more than once, so it doesnt really fit the sweet lyrics he usually has. but thats just my opinion.

[everclear66]

i agree the swearing lightens the song up and makes it more causal rather than being just a sad song, one reason why i like aussie music. also kandykitty12 there's a version of this song that says "others" instead of "f***ers"

[kandykitty12]

I love this song sooo much, though- I think the swearing sort of ruins it...

[shallwethen]

the beginning is crazy..its buggin me i really sounds like another song but he doesnt continue like it would, blah i have to figure this out but other than that i love this song!

[Megglen]

He may need a shave, but Josh Pyke has the most beautiful voice ever :) Especially when he sings "The wiiiiiiiinnnnnndd" <3

[nathancuyler]

Mmmm.... this song and Bright Eye's Road to Joy have sound a lot alike =D

But I guess they're both just basically Beethoven's Ode to Joy...........

[Evski1975]

Josh Pyke...tomorrow nite...Fortitude Valley... can't wait

[iheartlachie]

yer! we have great music!

[TroUdoT]

I love this song.

[delaneyscreekmusic]

wow really beautiful.....yeah!!

[trashpixie]

Ouch. :/

[lukeisastalker]

i like the owls in the beginning

[fubina7]

damn I wanna lock him in my room :PPPPP

[Zac4EvaEfron]

i love Josh

very proud to be a fellow aussie..

and you like josh..wait till you hear Kisschasy LOVE YOU DARREN..ox

Kisschasy all the way

[rebelvampire00]

:D :D

[iheartlachie]

i saw him live. he is absoulutly magical, even if he was a bit drunk. hehe. i am so gald he's australian, and it would be good if he could grace the rest of the world with his magic.

[Evski1975]

You heard 'em, Josh. Time to go on tour - Europe and the US. We are proud to have you representing the pinnacle of Aussie music! WOOHOO

[AliiiceLR]

What about Europe? France? :) Pleeease?

[Sarbreenarh]

I love Josh Pyke.

[nyheter]

God bless Australia...Please send Josh to tour in the States.

[novan08]

thank you sir :) good to know that non-australians appreciate the work that comes out of our music scenes. usually it only works one way!

[EmilySnicket14]

Several of my favorite music artists are Australian. You guys have awesome music. :D

[iheartlachie]

thanks!

[mmorpgczar]

lol at taking credit for the entire aussie music industry haha

[ibettershakethis]

I completely agree. I've been listening to Josh for so long and he needs to tour the States

[iheartlachie]

i reckon. australia is proud to have such a talented muso!

[1234321mike1234321]

ah we've always had good music :) ACDC, Jet etc etc

[spunkyben]

yeah,

Australia is just too damn good

[jfcjake]

i have both his manufactured albums on cd.

i will donate to his cause always.

Josh is......beautiful & amazing.

[jbeilbyja]

Are you serious? Lol the best part is "I'll just hold you tight and will not let those FUCKERS in..."

[imtohotforu]

i see no point in downloading songs it still costs you money even with lime wire cos you on the net so its a bill for ya parents or if you've moved out ya fucked big time.

[kanetrain12]

its not any where near as expensive from limewire, 1 song is what, 4? thats just a few sense on most internet plans.

so i think you might wanna look into your facts there buddy ;)

[18phoeno]

'I've been feeling like a fox with sad old eyes'. I love that bit

[punkiassjunki]

hez genius but people dont know him..hez so unpopular, limewire is like struggling to get resources cuz people dont know him... spread the word!

[diresolo]

why the hell would limewire struggle because they dont now about josh pyke...thats freaking weird an hes popular as hell

[Djelibaybi]

Or you could go out and PAY for the album to support the artist and Australian music? But hey, why would you? Piracy is so much easier.

[jhref]

Here here good fellow

[kissmejake]

agreed ... if you actually like artists music, why not help em out and actually pay for their songs? Use iTunes if ur too lazy to go out and buy it? It only costs a dollar 60-somthin, man!

[Pooldogfromoz]

Since when is he unpopular?

[Reets15]

this guy is awesome how come i am only just finding him =O =O =O =O =O

[horsejumper0077]

YAY! So glad you found josh pyke! he is amazinggg :D

[Ayriew]

love this song tis my fave right now .

[patrolowner]

again you have to say : if ya don't like the artist or the song, why waste your time looking??!!

[sparkybug]

such a beautiful song

[gurjeet3]

who is he and have come I havent heard about him!! =0

[LisaNova]

Such beautiful art!

- LIsa

[CecMonster]

Ooooh! Little owls!

Cec

[11Abone]

[ronniebear26]

[kikkiboy94]

1:26  ;O

josh!!

[bezzyt79]

Superb video yet again.....this man has great vision! I would love to see the interior design of his house :)

It goes without saying that his songs are all works of art but the videos don't fall far behind that either, this is (like all the other JP clips I've seen) just gorgeous...
