this song is fucking sick. i think i caught a cold on this motherfucker. although id reccommend you people to see him break the percussion on the david letterman show. fucking awesome.
Wow, very like his dad's music, especially the stuff from Finn brothers and even like Split Enz to a degree. That was most unexpected, but not in a bad way. Love Neil Finn.
This song regularly plays on the "muzak" channel where I work. I whistle along when it's on and it's taken me a year to finally understand 1 line i could use to look it up. I'm really surprised it's a guy! I thought it was like the indigo girls or something! lol

heard this song at a big lots... had to sit their and just repeat a few lyrics to myself to a little bit so I wouldn't forget. thought I wasn't going to be able to find it, because of google. but I did find it... so happy :D
I heard this song, 4 years ago.. haven't been able to remember it for so long, and facebook randomly put liam on my sidebar add thing, which helped me rediscover him!
I LOVE Xavier Rudd! and thank you :) I love the song Pollen by Mirah but you can't find any very good versions of it on here. There's one that is a school group singing it and it gives you a pretty good idea of what the real song sounds like. I also like Ben Folds - You don't Know Me At All and Losing Lisa. Check those ones out if you haven't heard of them and I'll look at yours :) thanks for sharing music with me!
@ RunTobyRun try out Great Lake Swimmers-Your Rocky Spine, Bowerbirds-In Our Talons, Horse Feathers-Working Poor, The Bear That Wasn't-The Raindrop Ballad, Fleet Foxes-Your Protector and The Duchess And The Duke-Reservoir Park. Those (and this) are some of my favorites. Tell me which ones you like and which ones you don't and I can give you more suggestions :)
@SweeterthnU96 check out "the national" (fav songs: apartment story and fake empire)....maybe the funeral by band of horses, young folks by peter bjorn and john
shit liam!!!!... I fuckin love you but im ready for sum new tunies......YOU ROCK!!!! Im sure that you wrote this song for me....Haunting in a magical sort of way....Write me another song cause im hanging....
Saw him in concert with Wilco. I've never wanted to be anybody but myself. That night I wanted to be him because I've never seen anyone have more fun on stage
love it! just a great folk-rock-pop song. But the best song on the album is definately "wide awake on the voyage home". anyway, it's a great album, i'm glad i've discovered him
He sounds like how I imagine it would sound if his dad and Elliott Smith collaborated. I quite like it. I am a huge fan of his father and uncle, so I unfairly thought he was riding on their coat tails. I admit it; I was wrong and unjust in my initial assessment. The boy has clearly got plenty of his own talent.
It's a family/friend thing. "This guy" was probably a youngster when he met Eddie Vedder, through his dad, the brilliant Neil Finn. Search for clips of Eddie and Neil together on YT, I've seen 'em on here.
It's good to see him following the same style of music as his dad, albeit with his own unique flair to it. The Finns are some of the last decent classic pop musicians still active today.
Interesting. Looks like unlike some who are only successful because of their last name, Liam Finn has definately inherited his dad and uncle's talent. IMO, he sounds more like Tim than Neil, but still unique in his own right. I've noticed that while Neil's songs are very melodic and straightforward, Liam's songs are more wild and psychedelic, to the point where they almost can no longer be categorised as pop music.
You know sometimes these vid come up on recommended for you since it bears some similarities to some other music vid you've watched. So you watch and you form an opinion. What shits me is the way discussion is abandoned and homophobic, trash talking stuff takes the place of serious discussion. Fans cant take the criticism and expect only praise. Read NME or Rolling Stone. Not every fan just gushes with praise; some actually offer constructive criticism.
agree. but some people seem to purposely go to artists videos they 'hate' to write trash to piss fans off. criticism is one thing but there are some lame people out there who ruin youtube.
Thank you for your intelligent response. The more I listen to this song the better it gets. That's always a good sign since some songs need a bit of effort. I agree Youtube is self moderated and as a result it seems to have become a place in cyber space where anonymity just encourages these random and weird comments.
ahah wow u guys r so funny. like honestly im reading the conversation u guys are having and cracking up. ha but anyways this is a really good song i love it :)
Why do you comment on videos you don't like? Why would you search for a video that you're only going to badmouth anyway??? Is it because you have no life and sit at home all day with no friends because nobody likes you?? ... Your youtube channel suggests that......
Really, a psychiatrist.... nah, that'd mean that i'd have to talk to people like you all day long, trying to convince you that you have reason to go on, when the truth is that you have no friends. Further proof you have no life=>you respond to all my comments within minutes of them being posted..... PWNED
