im called xavier widdowson i luv music and i dont wanna boast but im really gd at singin and guitar and piano he inspires me im 13 but yeh one day i hope to be as gd as him nice one Xavier
i gues you're joking...i'm sure you know songs like sound of silence, the boxer and so on. if not just look for his name in any cd-store, there's plenty of different cds he's produced!
This is a really amazing song, he puts so much emotion behind everything he does. Long live him, long live nature, and long live the great land of Australia.
And long live to remember there are no lands. They, and us, are all connected. Same same but different, like all of the drops that make the Sea. Sea as a whole, we are drops. Peace!
does anybody know anything about this new album by xavier that is meant to be out in the not too distant future? darkest shades of blue or something like that.
well i agree with you rawr12786 but cocococo2004 got it spot on with those three artists. he's definitely a mix of those 3 artists, however he's used that to create his own style.
Ahí tendría que diferir, para mí Food In The Belly es en definitiva su mejor disco hasta la fecha, aunque White Moth no está mal, podría escuchar Land Rights todo el día; pero, como dije, pienso que es Food In The Belly.
Don't get me wrong..big Xavier fan and his music!! But to make protest songs without doing anything of meaning or difference about the issue your writing about doens't inspire much respect!
Xavier is probably the most "real" musician out there today... he doesnt put himself above anybody and actually tries to help the situation. Musicians today are too self-centered and about the money (except Xavier)
Likewise, just saw this song on Video Smash Hits. Got his first album. Good to see he has another hit on his hands. Its a pity more people dont listen to his music, it would be a betterworld. This guy is on par with Bob Marley both prophets in music. God Bless
i love this song so beautiful in every way. i just wanted to cry in happiness seeing rudd and his family in the water. im going to see rudd in 2 months SO EXCITED i love you rudd
oh man, this video brings a lump to my throat and this song is so powerful and sweet it makes me shed tears. glad to see his message is understood by so many, and the ones that don't, we gotta never leave them be, never give them any rest, always keep on.
I'm an American but got to study abroad in Australia (Monash Uni - Clayton) and let me just say that your country is soooo beautiful! And I'm jealous that you can claim this guy as your own, he's amazing. Much love.
Saw XR in Berlin ....... woah! Very special. He is SO talented, SO nice, and SO cute... i just wanted to take him home and put him in the garden! Actually, I am gay .... but if any bloke could turn this gay girl straight i think it would be Xavier Rudd! Thanks, Xavier, for your beautiful contributions to the world.
Xavier Rudd is the one person I would want to emulate. He possesses all of the qualities I hold dear, and brings a tear to my eye with his beautiful music. Live long my friend !!
even though his voice is simliar to paul's i think xavier has a totally differnt style of playing, and very differnt meanings and messages than paul simon.
actually, the first time that I heard this I thought it was paul simon, but now that I listen to it, I definitely have noted the difference in styles.
Y'know this is so weird I just heard this song in a tv show (weeds) and thought it was Paul Simon my girlfriend thought it was xavier rudd. I came straight this youtube page and read this comment.
I feel like if he talked about Australia in all his songs he would get a huge following... im likin it... perfect to open up for DMB im gonna be there i cant wait for 8/1 at the tweet
Love this guy, I could listen to his songs over and over and never tire of hearing them.
