    Paul Dempsey is possibly the most unrecognised talent in Australian music. The guy is phenomenal. 👏👏👌

      On the Sunshine Coast he said he will never sing this live... I believe the words were "I'm not singing that f'n M Cyrus song."😂

      I saw him in Bendigo at 16 stood in front of him and the band playing no shoes and cried my eyes out was so surreal. I love him so much. No one else was really there for something for Kate so I had the front for me and a few other fans. Best best memory. Oh except Paul Kelly playing when I first met ur ma at at kilda fest as sunset oh music is life maaaaan

    I'd love to have seen the look on the MMM producer's face when he tells them, "Yeah, I'm gonna do Wrecking Ball, you know, the Miley Cyrus song" and then comes into the studio and produces this. Mindblowing.

    An acoustic cover of Wrecking Ball is genius. I've listened to quite a few, but Paul's just has some emotional rawness to it that completely blows every other version out of the water. But that's just me

    We clawed, we chained our hearts in vain
    We jumped never asking why
    We kissed, I fell under your spell.
    A love no one could deny
    Don't you ever say I just walked away
    I will always want you
    I can't live a lie, running for my life
    I will always want you
    I came in like a wrecking ball
    I never hit so hard in love
    All I wanted was to break your walls
    All you ever did was wreck me
    Yeah, you, you wreck me
    I put you high up in the sky
    And now, you're not coming down
    It slowly turned, you let me burn
    And now, we're ashes on the ground
    Don't you ever say I just walked away
    I will always want you
    I can't live a lie, running for my life
    I will always want you
    I came in like a wrecking ball
    I never hit so hard in love
    All I wanted was to break your walls
    All you ever did was wreck me
    I came in like a wrecking ball
    Yeah, I just closed my eyes and swung
    Left me crashing in a blazing fall
    All you ever did was wreck me
    Yeah, you, you wreck me
    I never meant to start a war
    I just wanted you to let me in
    And instead of using force
    I guess I should've let you win
    I never meant to start a war
    I just wanted you to let me in
    I guess I should've let you win
    Don't you ever say I just walked away
    I will always want you
    I came in like a wrecking ball
    I never hit so hard in love
    All I wanted was to break your walls
    All you ever did was wreck me
    I came in like a wrecking ball
    Yeah, I just closed my eyes and swung
    Left me crashing in a blazing fall
    All you ever did was wreck me
    Yeah, you, you wreck me
    Yeah, you, you wreck me.
