I met this guy last night on Queen Street. After shouting a homeless man a coffee, he handed me his guitar and we had a jam. Then he gave me his album for free. This guy is the man.
Lovely song. Luke always manages to touch one's soul.
Nice video though I think it may have worked better with an older rather than a young woman. Not only is this woman so hot to be distracting, I think it is much more likely that an older retired woman with plenty of life experience is the kind of person to have a mental check-list of emotional experiences to collect during the day.
superb..........forget the finns,,,dave dobbyn,,,,this guys is light years ahead of anything in this country,,,,his compositions are so natural and not produced for the masses...or forced just to make a cd,,,,,
I have admired Luke's music for 20 years, it's great to find some samples on youtube. How about mona lisa and albatross. Luke is a great representative of New Zealand, very talented, very humble, great musician.
This video really catches Luke as he is, especially in the beginning where he's like " Hey buddy, how ya goin'? we're shooting a video" Lol. That's Luke:).
On my NZ journey i met him twice performing this song on queen st cnr wellesly rd, as kind of an extended instrumental version, that would last for hours and hours. it was a sunny day and i couldn't help but sing and hum along with the overtones, every time the deep bass hit me it sent me shivers of joy down my spine and simply hypnotized me back then!
In fact I never thought to be able to hear this song ever again, so thanks a million times for posting, mate!
Same experience, im from mexico and I saw him almost everyday and several times at night playing i queenst. He gave a perfect atmosphere to the place. Saw him play @ borders too, but just a few people went :/
I saw this guy when I went to NZ... and I still have his cd he!! Sweet as!! :D
