  • I love this. Because I love Nick Cave, I love this song, I'm reminded of the power of music to make you cry and feel amazing at the same time... Katie Noonan's voice should be declared a National Treasure. All the artists are sublime. Bravo to all involved.

  • This makes me proud to be a Sydneysider

  • Hmm the first singer is a kiwi????

  • just magnificent

  • Best version to date! Beautiful........:)

  • Love Nick Cave, love the ship song, love all the artists, love Sydney, this whole video is just LOVE! Absolutely beautiful. And I miss Sydney dreadfully

  • This should be seen by the world, it's a beautifully-executed promo video as well as a magnificent work of art. If I were an Aussie, this would make me so proud of my cultural heritage, but because I'm not, I can only wait in impatience for the ROH to catch up.

  • The song is so amazing in its original that any remake is up to a big challenge. Having a mosaic of artists for me just doesn't work - no matter how good each are in their own right. I suggest check the Nick Cave & Bad Seeds version

  • I am enchanted through and through.

  • @actressinny I would be inclined to assume it's just Johnsy doing two tracks for the part. If it was someone else they would have had them by his side at the piano or at least in the credits. But I agree, it's a great contribution by a great artist! Can't wait for his solo stuff to come out.

  • @LostInAusten17 eso mismo siento yo saludos desde México!!!
