If This Is It - acoustic version on Rove TV Australia

[fatboywonder69]

beautiful song, beautiful hearted man

[FtaCapoeiraWoot]

@MrPittsSox I think its open c#

[theosu809]

Why does the world choose all the bad people to make all the money in music? This guy is one of the most talented artists around, and gets almost nothing for it. It's a damn shame.

[dispatch1347]

maybe his best vocal performance?

[Jahnfo]

If ever there was a definition for a "one man band"...this is it.

[roloug95]

legend

[MrPittsSox]

This is open C right? Also, please put this on itunes so we can pay you!

[killerzebra75]

[burninember]

he looks like Ash Grunwald.......

[burninember]

Absolutely beautiful version. Great voice, great musician. WOW!!!!!!!

[burninember]

Absolutely beautiful version. Great voice, great musician. WOW!!!!!!!

[Wetmark]

no wonder mainstream TV has not shown you yet to me...your far to honest and beautifully talented and relaxed to be introduced to society..

[mamaitalo]

Humble musician with a great talent!

[thil28]

whoa!! he sounds just as good live as in recording, way too good is this guy!!

[xMASSHYSTERIA]

I went to see him live, and he did the whole Keyboard-feet thing, and did everything himself. It was Truly EPIC. I met him afterwards aswel, and had a picture and everything, Landed! <3

[paf009]

the man's a freak - what a legend!

[mkenzi]

the fact that this sounds the same in a live studio audience shows the difference between this real music and the crap which makes up 39 of the top 40 these days.

[xbecksxhx]

newton faulkner is my FAVORITE artist ever, has been for a while, i love him <3

[larrygolfer]

You've convinced me. I'm a subscriber. Can't wait to see what's coming.

[spraycanboy]

woah!!!

this dude got amazing super duper talent!!

[brad100and8]

newton! i saw you interview in the metro last week! great to see your being recognised more and more man!

[Knino90]

I would have killed to be at this concert.

[pivotirific]

holy shit?! he plays keyboard with his feet

wow he can do like everything

[ResidentCanadian]

that was awesome...

[dingbatthe1st]

I think Newton's one of the few people who's not in it for the credit or the dosh!

[suckthesetestis]

its all about emotionally expressing :D

[fernandomagnifico19]

legendary...hope he finally gets the credit and dosh he deserves...true artist!

[coully111]

A simple style of music but oh so powerful with feeling!!!Yes,Yes,Yes!!!Fantas­tic!!

[hYYYpo]

I wouldn't call it simple... It is MUSIC. Not that retarded techno/rnb/whatever crap which has not got anything to do with music actually. He plays an instrument, he sings, he is able to write awesome lyrics. = Music.

[hunkydaboyz]

superb

[MusicalTeddybearBomb]

Definitely one of the best musicians in the world at the moment and so underappreciated.. It's almost a sin..

Love ye Newton!

[dingbatthe1st]

I think it will happen, given time. I don't get the impression that Newton's in much of a hurry and he doesn't seem that interested in being a celeb, so he doesn't get much press. He just wants to make music, which is a pretty rare thing these days.

[FlipSpore]

Rare, but great thing... Damn press...

[Ezzeeer]

I hear both Five for Fighting and City and Colour in your voice ... it is like mixing them with one more artist/band that I don't know. Am I right?

[dreadhead200]

And woman say men can't multitask :) great song

[TheAcousticsOfficial]

Hahaha! Great comment! Sums up this video! (Y)

[monaghanpunk]

well newton is extra ordinary

[thepinkspiders111]

if carlsberg did comments!! lol

[sergeantfan]

his voice alone gives me goosebumps. what a brilliant song

[annimon]

Of the two songs currently available with the words 'this is it' in the title...this is by far the better song. :)

[roosters3716925]

doesnt michael jackson sing the other song?

[jezdam]

Genius, id pay to see that!!!!!!

[angelontheside]

SO much more amazing live... a legend

[jonahart777]

Breathtakingly good.........truly amazing voice........

[domoutlaw]

thats foot organ is awesome!

[aberlour28]

That just blew my socks right off!! Where'd they go.....come back here.....

[Suprpalapower]

hahaaaa

[7CRANK7]

Mastermind!!! Master of the echo stick!!!!!

[reallyboredcornish]

[kanumbra]

[samiparisis]

Saw him live! Oceanfest 2009! It was the best thing ever, he had a half hour set and Mraz had 2 and a half hour one. Everyone remembers Faulkner.

[onc3and4all]

waahh..wish i could see him live!! love this new song..its like teasing me to cry..sniffs..

[eoghanwit]

fuckin savage

[pattso92]

dammit, i missed this episode.

[yakboy69]

[PanicFour]

[jmariej63]

[ashy2damaxx]

..by the way just in case he ever sees this thankyou for the hug at Rove hope you enjoyed the pressie!:)

[ashy2damaxx]

WOW!!!...I was there at the live recording and all i can say is what an HONOUR to be in the presence of such a dedicated and talented man!!!

...I was a bit dissapointed in the crowd...felt as though i was the only one singing along BUT since Newton has been out here in Australia it has gotten alot more airplay!!

...we can only expect bigger and better things from Newton!!

...he is simply BRILLANT!!!!!!

[Soopheh]

I don't get why some people aren't crazy about this. :P

Newton Faulkner is a geeeeenius.

Next month! <3

[alvee33]

Lazy? He'a singing, playing guitar and playing bass and pecussion with his feet. I don't think that's lazy.

[andyjames666]

hmm dont think you can call the guy lazy coz he aint make his fingers bleed for 1 song lol.

great song from a great REAL musician

[nzroadie]

wow ... i think some people need to close there eyes and listen for a change.. instead of being critical of how he played .....

[guitaplaya93]

Great work man, it's very rare for some one to sound better live then in there music videos. peace out

[flamingoroad42]

as always-brilliant!!

[daddyrizla]

Meh : | open tuning; you've done better.

[katanamanatee]

Umm, he pretty much always uses an altered tuning as far as I am aware. o_O

It might not be as complex as some other tunes but the actual song is fantastic.

[daddyrizla]

Not my cup of tea maybe? He is talented tho', I just think he is being lazy on this one.

[katanamanatee]

Perhaps it is just a question of taste, there are some tunes of his I like and don't like and 'though this is simple, I quite like it.

He could easily have made the song more difficult but simplicity can also make some of the most wonderful music too.

[daddyrizla]

True. I am all for room to breathe in music. Maybe it is about taste.

[spiffcorgi]

he does the open tuning so he can do the messing about with harmonics whilst still playing the root note. doesn't take a genius to realise that.

[daddyrizla]

I didn't say it did. I use open tuning a lot myself, but he can do better, that's all I'm saying.

[spiffcorgi]

yeah but it's a bit unfair to expect every song he writes to be like "To The Light" or "I Need Something". I mean, Gone in the Morning and Dream Catch Me were dead simple songs, weren't they.

[daddyrizla]

All in all he is a brilliant musician. I suppose I just don't like this one.

[ManFromTheNorthside]

no your right it doesn't. but you'd want to have a wide knowledge of how a guitar works to realise that

[Mazabuka74]

Brilliant

B-)

[sugarcandymountains]

'Roflkaker' you are indeed correct =D

[zcbcy46]

What a song :)

[FlabberFlob]

does nobody else think this song is pretty substandard compared to everything on hand built by robots?

[spiffcorgi]

this is actually already one of my favourite songs by him, including ALL the ones off handbuilt by robots.

[Bonsmachine]

It's always a privilege to listen to you!

[vergeer]

love it!! :D

[xricksterx]

when will come his new album out ????

[milolarry]

september 25

[xricksterx]

thanks a lot ! i´m waiting for it for so long !

[tinsituscany]

Neutron is da man. ....tinsi

[Roflkaker]

Awesome is too simple of a term to describe Newton.

[RobbieJKMiller]

man, you are my inspiration for being a musician. thank you.

[robem10]

amazing. yet again.

[keli141]

:)  .

[Dydus87]
