Have you made an album wherein the leading independent radio station in the country raved it as one of the finest Australian records? No. No you haven't. So put a sock in it, Sir.
@MsJehosaphat People have their own views and are entitled to their own opinions and frankly - what is the point of you commenting on this video if all you want to do is to make a person doubt themselves? Are you unhappy with your own success? Or did someone you were fond of/dislike like this music, making you feel like you could "get back" at them through a YouTube comment?
Fine if you don't like the music, but would you go up to an aspiring artist in person and tell them what you thought?
@MsJehosaphat Wow man, ease up mate. He's doing pretty well for himself, and his music (especially his first album), was a critical success. Although, I read your previous comments on other videos and it appears that you're just a dickhead.
Emo music is so tedious today. The original emo artists tried to be original, unique, but this newer crop are even more shameless thieves of other people's art. This Whitely dude is just stealing Simon & Garfunkel's act, but a crappier, simpler, less wonderful version if it. He has a pleasant sound, but it's pathetically unoriginal and bland. He's a con man with a guitar and a digital voice effect. Make him rich and famous, you silly suckers. The world's collapsing very soon, anyway. Too bad....
@KingKook fuck off hipster. Lawrence Greenwood (Whitley) pisses more talent than you can create in your entire life. quit trying to be deep and everything, because you're just fucking wrong. How is he stealing S&G's act at all? have you actually listened to all of his back catalogue? nothing sounds like S&G. and if you think it does, its a little something called influence, which is why there pretty much isn't such a thing as 'original' music these days.
@wue2117 Aww, damn! I've been knocked down! I have NEVER been hit so hard in my entire drab, pathetic, sham of a life. It will take years for me to recover from the savage, thorough beat down that you have just handed me. Also, you are magnificently intelligent, as intelligent as another pathological Whitley fan, "nickschmitt ", who claims "Everything about this is so perfect on so many levels that my mind cannot even process it." Do you recognize your own juvenile fanatical exuberance? Geek.
@KingKook wow using big words. I'm so hurt from that comment about my "juvenile fanatical exuberance." That is a completely convoluted statement sir, as I am not at all fanatical about this man, I'm just a great fan of Lawrence's work because it is quite different to other acoustic artists of our modern times. He presents us with different lyrical concepts, and he is NOT at all "emo." you sir, are a troll wanker. what exactly is your problem with Whitley's music? its bloody brilliant.
@SaladNinja3569 lol fuck that. i know they're aussie but im saving money! itunes is crap. go limewire! i refuse to give more money to these bands that earn loads of money. These people earn SHIT LOADS of money in case u didnt know...
@GoldensGirl1 earn shitloads?? really?? i'm all up for d/l too and will refuse to pay for a song off the internet.. but artists don't make fuck all of cd sales actually... want to support them.. buy a cd or merch at their shows...
@GoldensGirl1 Uhh No they don't ... The people who sign the bands and individual, like sony BMG and EMI make most of the money, the artists get a cut, but not very much, he doesnt have very much money at all, some of his songs were recorded in a bungalo(Small house near a big house) because he couldnt afford to rent a recording studio.how old are you? 9,10? Or are you just stupid? Geez,You should be ashamed that you use limewire. its because of you that artists go broke. You Suck. Please reply:)
'Head, first, down'. Just heard it on Triple J yesterday. Can't find it on youtube to listen to it again, then found it on their myspace for anyone who wants to here another great song by whitley.
ok, so i got a shot to the stars for free at starbucks, and since i really liked it, decided to looked whitley up and found this. this is FREAKING AMAZING! so thank you to starbucks, and a humongous thank you to whitley for making such great music!
wow this song hurts my chest, guess its cause it really relates to me. I was in love with a Japanese girl, the guy looks almost exactly like me too. Voice is similar too. Weird. I am Australian, just never got around to making music.
