ohh i just recently got a package from my best from my best friend that lives in australia. this song was on the cd. i have to say that i now just adore australian music now so so much
His music has made me become a better person, in so many ways! There are days I wish I could high jack radio waves and play his music for everyone to hear, I think it would make for a much more peaceful world, even if only for that moment!!!
@gr8fulgirl88 Yes! Same here my friend! I've never experienced so much influence from music as I have from this man. He's actually influenced how I live my life, and to be concious of the things I do.
so refreshing to hear this genre of music, although i have to come to youtube to hear considering they never play legitimate music on the music channels or radio
What a brilliant song. Discovered this guy through the "Surfer, Dude" movie. Every song I listen to by him just makes me want to either grab my board and go surfing or grab some walking poles and hike a mountain. Music that moves you like that is magical.
Right on dude...just wish the sea was closer where I live. To get to my fave spot its about a 4-5 hour drive. Shame, wish I could just live on the beach.
@ETGuitarist - What a lovely comment.. Xavier does that to me, makes me want to go fro a walk along our beach (cold English beach lol) love him.. Thank goodness for Xavier, keeping us grounded x
@subymay Thanks. Yeah I'm in England too...I surf the North East Coast. It's cold but at least I'm out and doing something useful. Are you seeing Xavier live this tour?? He's playing Brighton, Cornwall, Liverpool and Birmingham. Saw him and Izintaba earlier this year in Manchester, amazing show. I'm going all the way down to Brighton to see him on the 2nd Aug. Use Google to find details about the UK dates and get to one of them!! All the best.
@ETGuitarist - Thanks for reply - I've already got my tickets for Liverpool dude! Can't believe you are going all the way down to Cornwall from North East to see him! NOw that is a fan lol.. hope you have a good gig, think he's in Liverpool in 2 weeks time and I can't flippin wait!!! All the best to you too mate ;)
@subymay haha nice one...thanks, hope you enjoy the show too. I might even catch the Liverpool show yet...dunno. See what the bank figures dictate to me first. lol. Oh and don't forget to catch the John Butler Trio in October...that was an insane show back in April. Whoop...one week to go until Xavier for me. And btw he's in Liverpool next Tuesday I believe.
@ETGuitarist Dude his music does the same for me, i surf the north sea aswell on the east coast not great waves but just good to get out there, cant wait to see xavier at boardmasters next week!
@Aliblocksidge1994 hahaha, might have seen you in the water at some point. I generally hit Cayton Bay. Try and get there whenever its good. Its not a bad break. I'm from Leeds so its an hour and a halfs drive but worth it just to mellow out for a few hours.
My daughter is on a 4 month volunteer 'experience' in Africa, helping AIDS orphans. And a colleague posted a video with one of his songs playing in the background. So that's what led me to him: awesome 'message' and so needed in these times.
Magic! Xavier, thanks for the music you write! it inspires me to raise awareness to others about the importance of indigenous people and our mother earth! Peace n love to you other beautiful souls x
My brothers best friend grew up with him =) no joke, his dad taught him to surf and all, when i found out i was like ZOMG NO WAY, i love Xavier Rudd ^.^
haha damn canadians.. all we got are the trews and sam roberts and the hip ahah you guys got John and Xavier ahhah no match... i wana moove to australia
A friend told me about Xavier Rudd, actually he was doing a cover of this song on a beach and i said "hey that song is awesome, who sings it" that´s how i ended up here... Xavier Rudd... A Great musician... and this is defenitly a pretty nice song
4 people are out of their mind.
