To cry does not always mean to be sad. Crying also means allowing the pain of the world for a certain period of time before closing the gates again and daring to enter the dust and dirt of life. With new strength and new hope! Thanks so much for this song!
One of the best songs I've ever found. This is so deep, heartfelt and just so timeless. The song is already several years old, but with the current situation it is so up-to-date.
From the first time tears flowed from my eyes as was consumed by this essence of love, I was changed as an individual, as I felt something on a visceral that I had lacked for so long....
I’ve never listened to this song without tears ....... ancestors, elders children please forgive us ....... People let’s wake up, join hands be heart led in this life ....... 🌈🙏🏼😍🔥👣♥️🌿🎼🌍
I happened upon this song on Apple music... I feel this song. It's so passionate. Makes me cry. I read its about Australian first people!?... Could also be about North American first people 😢
Indigenous people also formed tribes and fought against each other for land and resources for ages before the first Europeans appeared. They fought wars and took captives who were forced into slavery. Please do not be misled into believing that they were in a blissful Utopia until (presumably) your ancestors took something away from them. We wish the indigenous people well and want nothing but the best for them. Peace.
This Song, is a specially present from the heaven to planet earth, performed by an angel called Xavier Rudd. This song lets me feel to be in an other world, everytime I hear it. Just unbelievable and more as awesome. Thank you everyone whose will read my comment and shares my feelings.
dad , mom, this is the kinda person i want to grow up to be ... not a wall street stock broker, doctor, corporate CEO and certainly not a millioniare bad ass rapper.
kopadenieve That's rridiculous if you think he is sponsored by intel. He is a humble man, who does indeed make his living off playing music. Besides would you rather have that money be in his hands or a big corporation of which he's accused to playing advocate for? One love :)
Since 2013 I have been looking for this song. I heard it once and could recall no words or music but the strong feelings it had evoked deep inside myself. Oh, gloryful youtube, you are the one having the ugliest and the beautiful video, giving us the nightmares of trashy videos and the preciousness of such masterpieces like this one! Finally, I have found this song... I am more happier person now :)
The only thing more beautiful than the spirit of the great Southern land and it's sons and daughters and this powerful song, which is a gift to us all...... is this man's hair. 🔥❤️
Give it time and we wonder why Do what we can laugh and we cry And we sleep in your dust Because we've seen this all before Culture fades with tears and grace Leaving us stunned, hollow with shame We have seen this all, seen this all before Many tribes of a modern kind Doing brand new work, same spirit by side Joining hearts and hand And ancestral twine, ancestral Twitter Many tribes of a modern kind Doing brand new work, same spirit by side Joining hearts and hand And ancestral twine, ancestral twine Slowly it fades Slowly we fade Slowly you fade Slowly you fade Spirit bird, she creaks and groans She knows, she has seen this all before, she has Seen this all before, she has... Spirit bird, she creaks and groans She knows, she has seen this all before, she has Seen this all before, she has... Slowly you fade Slowly it fades Slowly you fade Slowly you fade Soldier on, soldier on, my good country, man Keep fighting for your culture now Keep fighting for your land I know it's been thousands of years And I feel your hurt And I know it's wrong And you feel you've been chained and broken and burned And those beautiful old people Those wise old souls have been ground down for far too long By that spineless man, that greedy man, that heartless man Deceiving man, by government hand Taking blood and land, taking blood and land And still they can But your dreaming and your warrior spirit lives on And it is so, so, so strong In the earth, in the trees, in the rocks In the water, in your blood and in the air we breath Soldier on, soldier on, my good country, man Keep fighting for your children now Keep fighting for your land Slowly it fades Slowly we fade Slowly you fade Slowly it fades Give it time and we wonder why Do what we can laugh and we cry And we sleep in your dust Because we've seen this all before
deathkult I love that I came across your comment because I’m a metal head myself, and was on a Vader kick today, but so much music speaks to me. First time I ever heard this song was at a yoga studio I used to work at where I joined a breath work circle....laying on the floor...actively belly breathing and this song came on and my body just had an emotional reaction I didn’t know I needed. Started crying even though I was in a fine mood before. Leaking out of places I didn’t know I needed to unleash from lmao. Was amazing . Now every time I listen to this song it gets me right in the soul piece 🤘
Man knows he is singing from his heart and soul - he is doing it with eyes closed... very touchy. Brings me to edge of tears. Can only respect all indigenous tribes that started humankind's spiritual journey. We modern times tribes can only hope we have same spirit by side. Thanks for this emotional music.
Danke für dieses Lied. Xavier i love you this much... Thanks........ Danke für meine Tränen, danke für dieses Lied................. God bless you. Namaste🤗😘
Danke, aus tiefsten Herzen, an Dich, an all die Menschen, die mit ihren Händen, Ihrer Luft, wundervolle Instrumente erklingen lassen und ihre Stimmen mit diesen in Einklang bringen. Du / Ihr seid wundervoll ....❤ Danke
The first time I listened to this song I watched him live; I was off my face on mushrooms and I literally thought I was a part of the song, a Spirit Bird. Crazy experience
Broooo when I first heard this song I was on shrooms too and fell in love with this song ever since. Hits you on another level when your tripping balls
+Mary Smith I've never heard of him before, but was given the chance to see him live this week. The concert was fine, and even though he played this song, I did not feel deeply moved by it. Now I'm listening to his songs in the background and...I just had the same experience as you. I don't think I've ever been moved in such a way by a song... The only thing that came close was the first time I saw Leonard Cohens live performance of Suzanne at the Isle of Wight Festival 1970.
I see what you mean, but I am more inclined to say "That man has found his voice", we are all full of humanity (I use the word instead of "spirit", we just each of us need to want to speak it, and to find our voice. I appreciate reading your comment though.
Now after 7 years listening to this music and searching in life for our meaning in life and searching for truth. I can reply to myself and I found the meaning and the truth. Yes Jesus set me free of all confusion and fear, Jesus is the way the truth and the life. We can enjoy all the good things but let's never forget that all the good things come from above. Our Creator loves us. His name is Jesus. So repent and trust alone in Him.
I'm 69 last May I live in a ALF for the mentally ill .I joined the army in America because of john Kennedy ,ask not what your country can do for you but what you can do for your country .The gentle protest of friends Joan Baez's , what have they done to the rain ,this.is such a long struggle that was back in the beginning of the 60ties ,thanks for the encouragement .That this land belongs to the people they are our waters and our coastlines and our forest and we don't see them as someones way to get rich but a place we are all are rich when we attune to the nature spirits that are mantled by these natures who for now are hidden from view but exist non the less .For this I'm called insane .
Even thogh you might not read this comment, always remember that you are not alone, somewhere in germany someone is giving you his blessings and sees this pure soul which made your body write this comment. May the purest love come to you in any form and give you finally what you deserve.
Absolutely brilliant. This artist captured the whole existence of humanity. And perfectly projected it in 7:12 min. Regardless of where you're from. How can one not relate to this song? Love n respect from Niagara Falls 🇨🇦.
Oh God 🙏. Such a beautiful, mystical, magical, healing song. 🙌🌸.. Something that I need to hear right now , again and again.. in order not to feel depressed, not want to give up everything.. ..Many.people need something like this at these hard days. 💜💜🙌
i have randomly met him twice in my life, once in the festival ground at wood ford, and once at the end of shift at Brisbane airport. first time i got a hug and a photo, second time he got a simple thank you. life got harder in those 6 years. i wonder where ill be the next time i bump into him.
Saw him last 6 days ago at the Coachhouse. I'm only 18 and the crowd was mostly older but this whole concert had this spiritual feeling to it I can't explain, Xavier Rudd's music is God sent.
This song is so incredibly touching... it brings tears to my eyes. And whilst there are MANY awesome songs out there, I don't think any have felt quite like the "religious experience" that this song does. Truly, Xavier has tapped into something deep within the human story; right down at where our true roots lie. I wish I could express it in a better way... but all I can do is shed another tear, at the emotion and passion within this great song.
Lyrics: Give it time and wonder why do what we can laugh an we cry and we sleep in your dust because we've seen this all before. Culture fades with tears and grace leaving us stunned hollow with shame we have seen this all, seen this all before. Many tribes of a modern kind, doing brand new work, same spirit by side, joining hearts and hand and ancestral twine, ancestral twine. Many tribes of a modern kind, doing brand new work, same spirit by side, joining hearts and hand and ancestral twine, ancestral twine. Slowly it fades. Slowly we fade Spirit bird she creaks and groans she knows she has, seen this all before she has, seen this all before. Spirit bird she creaks and groans she knows she has, seen this all before she has, seen this all before. Slowly it fades. Slowly you fade Soldier on soldier on my good country man. Keep fighting for your culture, now keep fighting for your land. I know its been thousands of years and i feel your hurt and i know its wrong and you feel youve been chained and broken and burned and those beautiful old people those wise old souls have been ground down for far too long by that spineless man that greedy man that hearless man deceiving man government hand taking blood and land taking blood and land and still they can but your dreaming and your warrior spirit lives on and it is so so so strong in the earth in the trees in the rocks in the water in your blood and in the air we breath Soldier on soldier on my good country man, keep fighting for your children now keep fighting for your land Slowly it fades slowly we fade slowly you fade slowly it fades Give it time and we wonder why do what we can laugh and we cry and we sleep in your dust because weve seen it all before
This man is really putting out what he believes here in front of such a lowly crowd. Its amazing that he keeps his energy throughout the show even with his eyes closed
Burt Lizardlord he sings it for the spirit in all of us. And besides it is hard to say how the crowd received it if you have not been there personally. The camera never shows any shot from solely the receiving end, which I personally appreciate for a change. On another personal note, I think the audience was moved but consisted mostly out of elderly people who are les able to expres themselves clearly.. otherwise he wouldn't be able to go this deep into himself, if they were off somewhere else with their minds for example.. in the end audience and performer merge into one and that is where life happens. Which is just my perspective on things, feel free to hold onto Yours but I strongly disagree this being a lowly crowd.
I met this man at steve irwins zoo about 18yrs ago. Just b4 he went big. Humble as can be. . I hurd it from the ticket boof and was thinking what is this sound and what band . Band want there, it was a man sitting with 4 diddges and a back set of drums and few mics. And a harmonica on a neck wrap. God bless u X. One love was the day b4 steve held his son over the water in the park. 🙏🏾
We were so moved when we listened to this song for the first time that everyone in the room shut their eyes and stopped talking...I never stop feeling greatly moved when I listen to it...stunning
I am an Australian Environmental Scientist and I would love to see Aboriginal wisdom apart of environmental policy. Have the elders show us the way but the government are criminals for treating their wisdom like it's a bunch of fairy tales. Respect to the Aboriginal community. Beautiful people!
How can anyone dislike a video like that ?? I feel like flying, to go out into the world without a destination, letting the wind take me. Anyway, not even Jesus pleased everyone !! I love this song and Xavier Rudd too much !! Amazing
I live in Spain and unlike the US the streets are named after artists over titans of industry, More than deserving than having a street named after him with this song and performance.
+Monkeysee Monkeydo Have you ever considered that he might have used the money to help a tribe in the amazon? Or something along those lines? Does he have to justify it when he's blessed this world with his music? And that's if he even concented to it. I know it's been like 4 months since you've spammed all his videos. Hope it's given you time to meditate :) Peace
Now 8 years later I like it more because in 2020 Im in Prison at Home and with this song I dream away, its a sad time and X.Rudd Voice sounds like a wounded Soul
This is helping so many souls out there and me in my grief. Soldier on, keep loving and keeping fighting for the right to life. Bless you Paul my twin...this was one of your favorites. Mark.
Seit einigen Tagen habe ich beschlossen mein Leben zu ändern,in vielen Bereichen. Dieses Lied gibt mir noch mehr dieses Gefühl,die richtige Richtung anzustreben. Diese Stimme,sie geht mir durch Mark und Knochen. Ich muss meine Augen schließen und meine Träne rinnt trotzdem. Aber vor Glück und Entschlossenheit alles zu ändern und vorallem mich selbst zu lieben. Mit jedem Ton der aus seinem wundervollen Mund kommt spüre ich an jeder einzelnen Pore wie sehr ich Gänsehaut bekomme und es mir schwer fällt zu atmen. Ich liebe es. Ich liebe seine Art zu singen ❤
There is simply just something transcendental when a song like this finds you, it's awash over you - sweeping. And the story and your own visions of the world in the eyes of hopefully achieving an endearing respect of our universal elders. If ever there was an alignment of eight minutes and forty one seconds to refresh me this is it. Peace & Love

To cry does not always mean to be sad. Crying also means allowing the pain of the world for a certain period of time before closing the gates again and daring to enter the dust and dirt of life. With new strength and new hope! Thanks so much for this song!
👌😥💯well said
so well said. I have done that almost every day, for many years, and never could have articulated it the way you have just here. thank YOU.
So beautifully expressed ❤
Grazie 🌟💓
Loved this ta
Ten years later and to this day this is still one of the most powerful and transcending performances I have ever seen!
This song reminds me of just how beautiful and fragile life on our planet is…peace and love to all who read this.
❤
Love you too
Good f0r ypu
Very beautifully said. Amazing ❤
we really need more people like him in this world...
+Yossy Kelly Dont say this, be this people.
+Monkeysee What is wrong with making music for some kind of KFC commercial? I don't see what the big deal is.
Jason S I suppose since you put it like that I couldn't agree more.
yes Yossy ! each one of us must rise and do whatever we can.
If so, become one.
One of the best songs I've ever found. This is so deep, heartfelt and just so timeless. The song is already several years old, but with the current situation it is so up-to-date.
Perfect song for the times we are in now
Never not relevant. There's always the spineless greedy government man. Over here we call him Uncle Sam.
From the first time tears flowed from my eyes as was consumed by this essence of love, I was changed as an individual, as I felt something on a visceral that I had lacked for so long....
Absolutely
Yup
We are all Spirit Birds...Childs of Stars...greetings form Poland for all Brothers and Sisters from all around the world!
I’ve never listened to this song without tears ....... ancestors, elders children please forgive us ....... People let’s wake up, join hands be heart led in this life ....... 🌈🙏🏼😍🔥👣♥️🌿🎼🌍
Aho.
🎩🎶♥️🎶💎🌐💎🌳🌿🕊
Same. This song changed my life.
💜🤝🕊🤝💜
MUCH LOVE-ME
I cry again
So beautiful.
I can't remember how many times I have listened this song already,...only to fly with my soul. Thanks Xavier Rudd
If there's a song I've truly fallen in love with...it is this.
At last. Some sanity here in the Matrix. Thank you for such a peace-filled beauty-filled piece of art, Xavier. Namaste.
@Rodney Atkins I'm really fine right now, I think I just woke up. What about you?
Archaix channel fits this song. The matrix....the simulation. 😢
glad to see someone in the same thoughts. Matrix against us.. against souls. This song reminds me deep invisible fight in every awaken soul
Close to what's near freedom
I happened upon this song on Apple music...
I feel this song. It's so passionate. Makes me cry.
I read its about Australian first people!?... Could also be
about North American first people 😢
Please allow all indigenous peoples of lands over the globe forgive us and allow us to make right the wrongs we have done and continue doing 🧡🙏
Indigenous people also formed tribes and fought against each other for land and resources for ages before the first Europeans appeared. They fought wars and took captives who were forced into slavery. Please do not be misled into believing that they were in a blissful Utopia until (presumably) your ancestors took something away from them. We wish the indigenous people well and want nothing but the best for them. Peace.
@@spiritmatter1553 I am aware they had their own wars. Does that make it right for white man to do what we did.
This Song, is a specially present from the heaven to planet earth, performed by an angel called Xavier Rudd. This song lets me feel to be in an other world, everytime I hear it. Just unbelievable and more as awesome.
Thank you everyone whose will read my comment and shares my feelings.
That's deep that's deep... So that what we call passion
dad , mom, this is the kinda person i want to grow up to be ... not a wall street stock broker, doctor, corporate CEO and certainly not a millioniare bad ass rapper.
Instead someone who plays for huge corporations for cash?
Snight101 He is independent, not working for big corporations.
azerua99 "presented by intel" anyway, this is great (:
kopadenieve That's rridiculous if you think he is sponsored by intel. He is a humble man, who does indeed make his living off playing music. Besides would you rather have that money be in his hands or a big corporation of which he's accused to playing advocate for? One love :)
nice one :)
The world 🌏🌎🌍needs this song 🍃🌱🌳
Since 2013 I have been looking for this song. I heard it once and could recall no words or music but the strong feelings it had evoked deep inside myself. Oh, gloryful youtube, you are the one having the ugliest and the beautiful video, giving us the nightmares of trashy videos and the preciousness of such masterpieces like this one! Finally, I have found this song... I am more happier person now :)
You bring peace in my pain. Thank you.
Speechless every time. Can you imagine being in that crowd? Australians, keep fighting, important now as ever.
❤️ from Australia
The only thing more beautiful than the spirit of the great Southern land and it's sons and daughters and this powerful song, which is a gift to us all...... is this man's hair. 🔥❤️
Give it time and we wonder why
Do what we can laugh and we cry
And we sleep in your dust
Because we've seen this all before
Culture fades with tears and grace
Leaving us stunned, hollow with shame
We have seen this all, seen this all before
Many tribes of a modern kind
Doing brand new work, same spirit by side
Joining hearts and hand
And ancestral twine, ancestral Twitter
Many tribes of a modern kind
Doing brand new work, same spirit by side
Joining hearts and hand
And ancestral twine, ancestral twine
Slowly it fades
Slowly we fade
Slowly you fade
Slowly you fade
Spirit bird, she creaks and groans
She knows, she has seen this all before, she has
Seen this all before, she has...
Spirit bird, she creaks and groans
She knows, she has seen this all before, she has
Seen this all before, she has...
Slowly you fade
Slowly it fades
Slowly you fade
Slowly you fade
Soldier on, soldier on, my good country, man
Keep fighting for your culture now
Keep fighting for your land
I know it's been thousands of years
And I feel your hurt
And I know it's wrong
And you feel you've been chained and broken and burned
And those beautiful old people
Those wise old souls have been ground down for far too long
By that spineless man, that greedy man, that heartless man
Deceiving man, by government hand
Taking blood and land, taking blood and land
And still they can
But your dreaming and your warrior spirit lives on
And it is so, so, so strong
In the earth, in the trees, in the rocks
In the water, in your blood and in the air we breath
Soldier on, soldier on, my good country, man
Keep fighting for your children now
Keep fighting for your land
Slowly it fades
Slowly we fade
Slowly you fade
Slowly it fades
Give it time and we wonder why
Do what we can laugh and we cry
And we sleep in your dust
Because we've seen this all before
Thank you for voicing my pain x
Really made me cry this one😢
I'm a die hard black/death metal fan but damn... what a song, what an artist! that's the kind of song and performance that speaks to the soul.
I think the same!
deathkult I love that I came across your comment because I’m a metal head myself, and was on a Vader kick today, but so much music speaks to me. First time I ever heard this song was at a yoga studio I used to work at where I joined a breath work circle....laying on the floor...actively belly breathing and this song came on and my body just had an emotional reaction I didn’t know I needed. Started crying even though I was in a fine mood before. Leaking out of places I didn’t know I needed to unleash from lmao. Was amazing . Now every time I listen to this song it gets me right in the soul piece 🤘
You inspire me - oh spirit bird
Only Xavier Rudd can utter incomprehensible sounds with so much meaning that it explains more than words could...
I think he's singing in Aboriginal
😂
I feel you! I keep my eyes closed when I am feeling the spirit too.
One of the best songs ever written. Such a well crafted heart felt meaningful song.
I'm alright now. Love you, Xavier.
Man knows he is singing from his heart and soul - he is doing it with eyes closed... very touchy. Brings me to edge of tears. Can only respect all indigenous tribes that started humankind's spiritual journey. We modern times tribes can only hope we have same spirit by side. Thanks for this emotional music.
All I use the internet for is books and cool vids like this! Feel the spirit in that man! He could drive tears from a stone!
Danke für dieses Lied. Xavier i love you this much... Thanks........
Danke für meine Tränen, danke für dieses Lied.................
God bless you. Namaste🤗😘
What a song....... 🥺
Such beauty.. this is what life was meant for.. to express the divine within us..
pu4e1 🙏
Well said my friend🙏♥️😁
pu4e1 nice
So true🙏✨
Sea of love cat power
Danke, aus tiefsten Herzen, an Dich, an all die Menschen, die mit ihren Händen, Ihrer Luft, wundervolle Instrumente erklingen lassen und ihre Stimmen mit diesen in Einklang bringen.
Du / Ihr seid wundervoll ....❤
Danke
The first time I listened to this song I watched him live; I was off my face on mushrooms and I literally thought I was a part of the song, a Spirit Bird. Crazy experience
did it feel like he was blasting you away with his consciousness? LoL I watched him live too
I can imagine ..listen to Dark side of the moon byPink floyd tripping...
Broooo when I first heard this song I was on shrooms too and fell in love with this song ever since. Hits you on another level when your tripping balls
you were a part of it the mushrooms shows the connectedness of all
Also heard first time under the umbrella of fun, hmmmm
Just an incredible expression of his talent and soul !
That man is so full of Spirit. You can feel it. I cried so deeply listening to this song, his emotion just flows through every word.
+Mary Smith It's not emotion, You can hear his heart.
+Mary Smith I feel it aswell mary we are eachothers spirit birds xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx
+Mary Smith I've never heard of him before, but was given the chance to see him live this week. The concert was fine, and even though he played this song, I did not feel deeply moved by it.

I was fortunate to meet Mr. Rudd when he visited my presbytery in Perth, Australia over a decade ago.
I wonder if he still has the gift I gave him. :D
The energy and passion he has in the latter half of the song is almost overwhelming...made me tear up....
Christ yea... give me your tissue...
this is one of those tracks i come back to whenever im at my lowest, and it always helps
Wow !! Unbelievable! What a guy. Thanks for doing this to me
Now after 7 years listening to this music and searching in life for our meaning in life and searching for truth. I can reply to myself and I found the meaning and the truth. Yes Jesus set me free of all confusion and fear, Jesus is the way the truth and the life. We can enjoy all the good things but let's never forget that all the good things come from above. Our Creator loves us. His name is Jesus. So repent and trust alone in Him.
I'm 69 last May I live in a ALF for the mentally ill .I joined the army in America because of john Kennedy ,ask not what your country can do for you but what you can do for your country .The gentle protest of friends Joan Baez's , what have they done to the rain ,this.is such a long struggle that was back in the beginning of the 60ties ,thanks for the encouragement .That this land belongs to the people they are our waters and our coastlines and our forest and we don't see them as someones way to get rich but a place we are all are rich when we attune to the nature spirits that are mantled by these natures who for now are hidden from view but exist non the less .For this I'm called insane .
God Bless you Philip. Love your heart felt comment. Freedom is crazy bro
Your not insane! You have a beautiful soul ❤
Your not insane at all brother.. your just stating a fact that's stolen from us.. from government and greedy developers.. our land one love
Even thogh you might not read this comment,
always remember that you are not alone, somewhere in germany someone is giving you his blessings and sees this pure soul which made your body write this comment. May the purest love come to you in any form and give you finally what you deserve.
You are beautiful. Thank you for taking the time to share with us.
This song just makes me feel like i'm falling deeply in my soul and curing every single part of it! So grateful!
Absolutely brilliant. This artist captured the whole existence of humanity. And perfectly projected it in 7:12 min. Regardless of where you're from. How can one not relate to this song? Love n respect from Niagara Falls 🇨🇦.
I will remember the day when i found this song all of my life.. Thank you Xavier Rudd...
I found it in a Frankfurt hostel. Will never forget the moment.
I found this TODAY! The truth is awakened(across our lands) and I am in awe of his soul - Allow me to bask in this feeling -
Oh God 🙏. Such a beautiful, mystical, magical, healing song. 🙌🌸.. Something that I need to hear right now , again and again.. in order not to feel depressed, not want to give up everything.. ..Many.people need something like this at these hard days.
💜💜🙌
Tenha força, tudo passa!
Masterpiece... :)
Listening to this song has created a massive spiritual shift within me. I thank you deeply
i have randomly met him twice in my life, once in the festival ground at wood ford, and once at the end of shift at Brisbane airport. first time i got a hug and a photo, second time he got a simple thank you. life got harder in those 6 years. i wonder where ill be the next time i bump into him.
my 3 year old knows this song almost by heart...we will never be tired to listen and open our hearts to it! thanks for all your lessons Xavier.
I’ve just heard this… wonder what your 11 year old thinks when they hear it now? Do you still play it?
One of the greatest songs to ever be channeled by a human to date ^_^
This song is truly a treasure ! Thank you Xavier !
I couldn't count the amount of time this song has touched my life and brought on some of the purest deep emotions I've ever felt.
Saw him last 6 days ago at the Coachhouse. I'm only 18 and the crowd was mostly older but this whole concert had this spiritual feeling to it I can't explain, Xavier Rudd's music is God sent.

I may be leaving my lifetime
It’s ok
The time may have come
Nice song
This is incredible. Namaste

I love you :)
Namaste to you from India .

On another personal note, I think the audience was moved but consisted mostly out of elderly people who are les able to expres themselves clearly.. otherwise he wouldn't be able to go this deep into himself, if they were off somewhere else with their minds for example.. in the end audience and performer merge into one and that is where life happens.
Which is just my perspective on things, feel free to hold onto Yours but I strongly disagree this being a lowly crowd.
This song always brings me to tears, I hope my daughter grows up to be just like this❤️✨✨
I met this man at steve irwins zoo about 18yrs ago. Just b4 he went big. Humble as can be. . I hurd it from the ticket boof and was thinking what is this sound and what band . Band want there, it was a man sitting with 4 diddges and a back set of drums and few mics. And a harmonica on a neck wrap. God bless u X. One love was the day b4 steve held his son over the water in the park. 🙏🏾
Wow 🤩 Special!!
This just transported me in another place... a place where my heart wishes to be. Namaste ❤️🙏🏻
Slowly it fades,
Slowly we fade,
Slowly you fade.
I felt that ❤
This song makes me reflect on the current struggle of the Palestinian people, all those babies who’ve died 😭.
Bless you...
Please only from good faith
This really goes deep into my soul
We were so moved when we listened to this song for the first time that everyone in the room shut their eyes and stopped talking...I never stop feeling greatly moved when I listen to it...stunning
The song of our earthly struggle against the evil of this earth. There is hope and beauty, and happiness.
I am an Australian Environmental Scientist and I would love to see Aboriginal wisdom apart of environmental policy. Have the elders show us the way but the government are criminals for treating their wisdom like it's a bunch of fairy tales. Respect to the Aboriginal community. Beautiful people!
In complete AWE. Namaste
This is my go to song whenever I feel down. It uplifts me.
What a beautiful song
How can anyone dislike a video like that ?? I feel like flying, to go out into the world without a destination, letting the wind take me. Anyway, not even Jesus pleased everyone !! I love this song and Xavier Rudd too much !!
Amazing
This song makes me cry every time I listen to it, ashamed of what we do to our mother earth, without thinking about what we leave to our children.
One word...."Beautiful."
+Jason S frig off barbs
I live in Spain and unlike the US the streets are named after artists over titans of industry, More than deserving than having a street named after him with this song and performance.
I heard this song for the first time 2 weeks ago. My spirit soared while dancing listening to it. Wow!
Love this so much, thx darling
I cant help but get emotional when i listen to this. Music that talks to the soul.
+Monkeysee Monkeydo Have you ever considered that he might have used the money to help a tribe in the amazon? Or something along those lines? Does he have to justify it when he's blessed this world with his music? And that's if he even concented to it. I know it's been like 4 months since you've spammed all his videos. Hope it's given you time to meditate :) Peace
+Jason S Lay off the reefer madness and you might see how he's doing good in the world Jason
He has to make a living somehow. Buy an album of his if you don't want him to advertise for KFC
i dont see how people can be so calm watching this...
I am crying. This song goes directly to my heart. So beatiful ♥ ♥ ♥ ♥
you look like you have a lot to cry about

You know, outside the moon is shining, maybe you should go outside and heal your heart instead of hurting others. :)

Seit einigen Tagen habe ich beschlossen mein Leben zu ändern,in vielen Bereichen. Dieses Lied gibt mir noch mehr dieses Gefühl,die richtige Richtung anzustreben. Diese Stimme,sie geht mir durch Mark und Knochen. Ich muss meine Augen schließen und meine Träne rinnt trotzdem. Aber vor Glück und Entschlossenheit alles zu ändern und vorallem mich selbst zu lieben. Mit jedem Ton der aus seinem wundervollen Mund kommt spüre ich an jeder einzelnen Pore wie sehr ich Gänsehaut bekomme und es mir schwer fällt zu atmen. Ich liebe es. Ich liebe seine Art zu singen ❤
nicer shit
❤️🙏
Mir geht es genauso. Spirit/Mana fließt durch Ihn 🙏
There is simply just something transcendental when a song like this finds you, it's awash over you - sweeping. And the story and your own visions of the world in the eyes of hopefully achieving an endearing respect of our universal elders. If ever there was an alignment of eight minutes and forty one seconds to refresh me this is it. Peace & Love
