  • i found this song on tirple M victorian radio

  • Chills anyone? <3

  • Part of me hates the save the panda aids vibe but whatever

  • I highly recommend every one looks back about three months in the the comments for Jbtdotcom i.e John Butler had debate with a commenter that I believe is really worth reading. I back Jbtdotcom up 1,000%. Peace.

  • @JbtPatdtwbandb Can you send the link?

  • i was very lucky 2 meet john butler, im from Ireland and i was touring around oz, and i bumped into him in a little book shop in Perth, i had my guitar with me and he sined it for me, he is a true gent and his music is amazing, as he said 2 me, spread the love and save the world :-) legend!!

  • @terso07 That's amazing! Good on ya! Makes me so happy to know there are still true and caring characters in the world... Let love radiate, long live people like John.

  • i was drawn to this song and im happy i clicked :D

  • Seen JB play 4 times and the highlight was def the Bluesfest at Byron Bay a few years ago. Looking fwd to seeing this song done live in 2012.

  • awesome amaze song

  • What i dont get is why would you have the random people?

  • @911signin I would say because revolution starts with the ordinary person. The individual cane make a difference, you just have to try..

  • @delaniho You can't make a difference if you can't even spell "can"

  • @911signin the song represents the world and every one in it my friend. the revolution is to fight the currupt dictatorship and governments

  • @lguitarn are you sure that "fighting" is the best way to achieve your goals?

    Ain´t competetive thinking and fighting reasons for our decadence?

  • @Noizec0r true

  • Comment removed

  • Point for the Human Kind.

  • Remember what this song is about viewers, revolution won't start with Government, war or violence. It will start with peace, world community and then love <3.

  • awesome!

  • How in the world does this only have 400k views??????

  • no other song gives me the same feeling this one does. breathtaking

  • this is seriously one of my favorite songs and videos ever.

  • absolutely brilliant both lyrics and voice

  • I knew JBT was good, didn't think it could get better than Ocean but damn... this might have done it.

  • @Buckethead1221 you can bet your sweet ass and it better be sweet

  • Love this song

    

  • Heard this being played by some of the protesters in the Occupy protest in my city. So fitting!

  • Point for the aussies.

  • Best part of living in oz for 3 years was finding JBT. This song gets me up in the morning and puts me to sleep at night

  • JBT = justin bieber toasted

  • @GasFreeKimberely the evil starts with the US banking systems.

  • @GasFreeKimberely

    Woodside is a massive company in the australian economy and soon they will no longer be able to operate anywhere in australia. they bring money to places where they work and help out the local economy. Its people like you that think they are doing the best for Australia. W.A announced a 1.3 billion dollar profit last year because of companies like this, the only state government that made profit. does this tell you something? Mining is the only way Aust. is making money

  • @dimsim34 Australia is giving away future resources to companies like Woodside which are majority owned by international investors. The resources they remove from Australia get shipped overseas before we see a fraction of the profits which Governments then waste in various ways. China is stockpiling resources because they know when the paper money system collapse, countries holding lots of cash and nothing but big holes in the ground will be easy to control. Australia is being cleaned out.

  • @dimsim34 Australia requires $1 billion dollars a DAY to simply stay above it's debt obligations so $1.8 billion isn't even 48 hours of operating this country. The resources aren't going anywhere, they shouldn't be given away to international money when we're entering a currency crisis that's going to make paper money worthless and resources king. We should be taking time to remove these resources with care to all concerned, charging a lot more for them &/or keeping them for future planning

  • @jbtdotcom

    Australia has over 400 years of fossil fuels left! If we stockpile these resources the GFC will happen quicker.If we dont continue to export the fossil fuels the larger countries will find someone else to supply their needs. if you take away the mining in australia what is left. I live in Tasmania and everything is being locked up down here. More native forests everyday soon there will be nothing left for tas. to make money off. like Gunns they fucked with china and got killed.

  • The use of the ebow in this song is almost surreal. It's amazing.

  • Stuff.co.nz said you are coming back to nz. When are you? oh and you are coming with aloe blacc 

  • Oh this is a keeper !

  • The Best Part Of The Song Is From 0:00- 4:18

  • THUMBS UP IF YOU BELIEVE IN RON PAULS MESSAGE

    REVOLUTION 2012

  • @TheJayEffkay it's rEVOLution

  • Seeing JBT live in Atlanta> winning the lottery 

  • Everytime I have a negative attitude about the world and think there is no hope for minorities to make a change i listen to this song and i am filled with the energy to carry on fighting for what i believe in!

  • A.M.A.Z.I.N.G

  • We like studied this song for our poetry unit in class was the best

  • i dont no why but everytime i see this clip i feel like crying

  • JBT im going to miss you once again tonight in boston. Itll be the second time and it makes me so sad. please come back to the states after you go back to austrailia in october. You are a wonderful musician and person. You music has real meaning and power. You dont get a lot of that now a days. Never stop spreading your word!

  • going to see them this thursday in the manchester arena!! cannot wait to see these guys in the flesh!!

  • like lots

    

  • @paintedmind Why think you have all the answers when commenting on Youtube? Show us your efforts and prove your results. Know where JB is right now? Up in North WA near the Kimberleys with the protests against the Gas Hub. Where are you? At home slagging people on youtube. PERSPECTIVE, get some.

  • @jbtdotcom #Peers round your shoulder shaking his fist# "Yeeeeeeeaaaaah!"

  • @jbtdotcom some protesters are spastics though. they endanger lives and get away with it. They Burnt out 5 million dollars of machinery in Tasmania and nothing but when the workers retaliate they get charged

  • @dimsim34 Yes, a lot of protesters are stupid and dangerous but you don't judge them the same way you don't judge a miner trying to do a job. You judge the weight of the entire operation, where the money goes and what will be left. Woodside is cleaning out Australia for international investors and all we get are short term jobs earning paper currency that's being devalued every week. The miners won't win, either will the protestors. China and big money will be the only winners here.

  • @jbtdotcom I just think there needs to be progress moving forward... not backwards! like i said Tasmania is up the creek and is already asking the federal government for more funding. I think sometimes when people are so heavily influenced by people like JBT it does harm. some people are going the wrong way about starting a revolution they take it much to literally. Some protesters you could compare to Al-Qaeda extremists

  • @dimsim34 Who's moving backwards? All states will be asking for funding, you don't realise what's coming to Australia. We have resources that are future bank, they will be more valuable the longer we can hold them. The longer we can hold them the smarter we can be in developing them. Policital life is 3-4 years and they rush, they pander to the wrong end of town. A few mining jobs today won't make things cheaper in 10 years when we're buying these resources back with a diminished currency.

  • @jbtdotcom All protesters are individuals just as all miners are individuals - they all have their own reason and purpose. You can take the opposite side of the protester and compare their lifestyle and make collective assumptions about them too, these aren't developed arguments. Anyone acting in violence or destruction isn't moving forward, whether that's from hardcode protesters or the suit ordering the bulldozer in a badly developed shareholder focused operation. Everything is a duality.

  • @jbtdotcom you tell him man, don't stop, i'm backing you 1,000,000% bro

  • @paintedmind you are a complete fucking asshole mate, go get a life JBT is fucking awesome ur jus sittin there dissin the musician ur a fuckwit he can do what he wants, he's doing his bid for the world aswell as making people happy with his music. if u dont agree with him dont say shit bout him alright you stupid twat, John Butler is way better than you mate

  • @paintedmind Man seriously wtf is wrong with you!!! John makes great music and he dose under stand seriously

  • @paintedmind

    Hahaha dude you just got SCHOOLED

  • @paintedmind most of his songs have been about preaching and storytelling without that youhave spiritless, empty, cold music i believe its known as pop...so keep preaching john!!!!

  • @paintedmind  fuck off.

  • @paintedmind u just got owned

  • @paintedmind You are simply a mirage to people like john butler, your stupidity literally makes you transparent.

  • @paintedmind why dont you go and suck justin beiber off you nob

  • I was living in Egypt when the Revolution broke out and this song along with Get up Stand Up by Marley were really inspiring

  • I love the new guys in JBT. But for curiosity's sake, can anyone tell me what ever happened to the old guys? thanks :)

  • @TheDavisLavis i think JBT let them go not sure why though

  • @TheDavisLavis i think he changes band members to best suit the musical style he currently goes through? he doesn't like it, but he describes it as necessary to best serve the music.

  • @taichikitsune Don't talk shit man. It's not nice.

  • best song

  • I will hunt those 8 people down...

  • Comment removed

  • its funny cause its not vevo :)

  • He is awesome hope he goes to reggaetown in cairns australia again this year

  • Since the release of April Uprising this song has been playing on my stereo almost constantly. I was sad to see that the radio release was chopped down removing some of the beautiful vibe. It's great to hear a song with such emotion in these current days. It's a shame to see people squabbling down in the comments below me. This is a song about discarding hatred and such bitterness. I must say though CD version much better than the radio version, sucks this had to be cut short.

  • Best song....ever...thanks JBT! you guys are pretty phenomenal!

  • and im from where he lives sucked inn

  • @bigeags1 why must you be threatening people this is a song about love and people being aloud to be who then want y must you be so negative. go smoke a joint and chill out man.

  • if you want to hear a groovy tune have a listen to Amazing Life by Australia's Brett O'Malley.....good shit!!

  • And a beautiful video to boot!

  • After reading a certain few dirty comments posted here I'm compelled to suggest that if you don't like this tune just shut the fuck up and go and listen to those other tunes that you love and praise them if you're able. Those who invest effort in bad-mouthing tunes obviously have serious issues. For me, this is a great tune and I've always appreciated John's voice in all his albums and right back to the Freo buskin days too. Cheers bro.

  • John is a genius, changed my entire outlook on music and life.

  • this song is pretty much sayin you should let ppl be who they wanna be and it shouldnt be frowned on how u look or what u are BUT u people are fighting and hating on each other how ironic

  • Gotta love all these peeps that have comments about great bands n great singers, get your hands off your keyboards n on to a guitar n then comment Shitheads...

  • @bigeags1

    lol, fuck u wanker. u aint shit i dont know you name. get a knife and run into it, bitch.

  • @bigeags1 trumpet, violin, guitar, piano, claronet, played them all, and i can sing have opened with fanfare to 2000+ people on the trumpet, you want pressure? try it then come an comment here or frankly..... you just found a world of pressure you wished you did'nt have....

  • wicked song....only good song on the album....can the real JBT come back to us some time soon..we miss you...

  • Unbelievable song!!!! Love it!!!
