I love how he can integrate the word fuckers into an amazingly beautiful acoustic love song, that takes SKILL! :D
To think it's been 11 years. I've been listening to Josh Pyke since I was 3. That's just insane. We still love Josh so much and we listen to him literally every day

This song was/is my childhood, my parents had this song on disc and would play it in the card during road trips which we went on often. I have been trying to find out what this song is called for a while know, im so glad i found it
Thank you for this beautiful song
True god who ever disliked this man is a unit because they dont know beautiful Aussie music this man is a Aussie Legend ❤❤❤❤❤
Hey, you. Thanks for giving me this song. You changed my life, and even now that we're apart (probably forever) you still continue to. I love you. I think I always will. You know who you are.
Josh Pyke is so amazing.. Saw him at the Performing Arts centre in Brisbane last year dont think there was a dry eye in the whole crowd by the time it was finsihed. WONDERFUL
One of the most beautiful songs of all time, beautifully written, and wonderfully & soulfully performed. Josh is an amazing story teller with a heavenly voice.
Josh...i thankyou.
For such a long time i have not enjoyed an artist as yourself.
Always with me.Memories & Dust.
This song reminds me of Tired tired sea 💚💙🥺
Same
Songs and performances like this gladden an old guy's heart! I'm 55, and was soooooooo heavily influenced by music that sounded like this in my teen years. But, that said, this is a beautiful love song and poem with a message! It has a freshness of its age! Thanks for a GREAT posting!
Such beautiful art!

wow. saw him live at pyramid rock on NYE and it was the best act ive ever seen. Very happy to hear this!!
The stuff in the background was amazing! It looked like it was fun to make.
I couldn't have imagined a better film clip for this song :D
Great music and awsome videoclip. it fits greatly with the song
fucking deal with the swearing.
im sick of people saying "swearing ruins it"
Josh Pyke is fucking huge, and so is this song.
I saw him last night...Absolutely best concert I've seen this year by far
Beautiful song

Josh is an Aussie treasure.
I really love this song
totally the best line...ever...always makes me cry for some reason : (
I’ll just hold you tight and we’ll not let those fuckers in
TUUUUUNE!!!!!!!
Darling dearest,
I'm fighting for your kind of quiet
oml don't remind me that's exactly how i found this song.
Undeniable.
@@heatherlupin5901 sameeee
i love this song
After playing this amazing song so many times on myspace i also found the "clean" version rather odd.This is how it was written,recorded & meant to be heard.What's the prob?I actually find it extremely hot how Josh uses this word.Should have the (signed copy) of his new album any day now.Although the bulk is on his myspace sit as we speak.Very very talented & dare i say hot man.
Quote: "dare i say hot man"
Well, you certainly _did_ dare, and it was inappropriate - even 11 years ago! The entertainment industry as a whole is tragically fixated on sexual desirability, rather than talent. This is essentially why Sia concealed her physical characteristics.
@t1r2o3g4 The swearing is beautiful in "Someone Else's Town" too, it's great :) I love beautiful swearing :)
Its layered because thats the way Josh likes it.
I love this song also, and his videos are always amazing. Im scared of how popular this song will make him, im a little selfish and dont want to be having to buy tickets at Rod Laver to see him. :-)
i agree the swearing lightens the song up and makes it more causal rather than being just a sad song, one reason why i like aussie music. also kandykitty12 there's a version of this song that says "others" instead of "f***ers"
aww his ears are pierced...he's charming. i like this song. why are people so unsure. this is magic. lol.
@MzTsZ Congratulations!
vote for this video at the portable film festival and the inside film awards please!
thanks!
I agree with bobliveson and emjsl... I don't know why everyone is so concerned over someone dropping the f-bomb it happens all the time in music, and for that matter just about everywhere in life. i'm sure he's just trying to relate the song to life itself in a way...
the harmony is harmony
I'd say he is feeling calm about who he is holding tight and is happy in that place but is angry about the fuckers that he wont let in. In my head it made total sense.
Here here good fellow
Great song. I didn't quite like it at the beggining but it's really growing on me. And the video is totally Josh's style. That man can't do wrong.
Dido. Genius!
I don't know, I kind of like the swearing inclusion because it's a gentle kind of love song. I don't think it's shocking or put in just for attention, I think it makes it sound realistic and conversational. Most people swear in day to day chat. Maybe I'm odd, I just find it strangely cutesy and charming.
No, you're not "odd" as this is a _normal_ response. Reactionary idiots, and the anally retentive, are simply following the programming that their weak minds accepted unquestioningly. If the problematic word had been a racial slur, for example, it would be an entirely different matter, but "fuckers" is used commonly in Australia.
I looooooove you.
I somewhat agree. Thankfully, you can purchase both the 'clean' and 'adult' version of the album, the former of which replaces 'fuckers' with 'others'.
I'd rather have a song the way the writer/composer intended, than some sanitised /altered /adjusted crap. Now, *_that_* would bother me!
I trust that the intervening decade has tempered your sensitivity to such common words.
Pretty :)
thanks! :)
yer! we have great music!
Huh.
In this song, the swearing is intact, but in the video for Middle of the Hill it's been removed.
i agree
who is he and have come I havent heard about him!! =0
i'm goinmg to that probz :D :D
wat does he say at 1:26
What about Europe? France? :) Pleeease?
360!!!!!!
This man makes me proud to be Australian.
@SquizzyT89 jajajajajajajaj EPIC!:D
lol cos this isnt a huge over reaction. singer songwriters have been swearing in their songs for years. songwriters use words to express emotions, feelings and to tell stories, why should they not be allowed to use all words just because a genre of music you dont prefer features bad language.
i think its great, adds a level of grit to a seemingly soft and romantic song.
Mmmm.... this song and Bright Eye's Road to Joy have sound a lot alike =D
But I guess they're both just basically Beethoven's Ode to Joy...........
ah we've always had good music :) ACDC, Jet etc etc
i like the owls in the beginning
I think it's "buggers". Not sure though.
Stu Larsen is an amazing singer/songwriter from Australia! Check him out! XD
Love this songggg :D!
This must be that new young director Leigh Richards that I keep on hearing about. The man has talent!
Forie bought me here!
who?
Whyyy are all cool people aussie?!
again you have to say : if ya don't like the artist or the song, why waste your time looking??!!
I don't think it's fair to assume that because a song is, as you call it, 'innocent and gentle', that it can't have a swear word in it. The way a song sounds does not necessarily relate to it's lyrics. And why would any self-respecting artists put a swear word into their song just for the hell of it. It's a bit of an insult to say it has no bearing on the song. It's part of the song.
why are you so angry? you must really like rise against to have them as your account name, why cant you look at them and thier music and see that they are about peace. just chill.
Whoops Ditto!
8 people must have clicked on this thinking it was little wayne .
Um maaah!!! Josh said 'fuck'!!!
couldnt hav put it better myself
12
Sounds like an Antony and the Johnsons song
The swearing doesnt ruin anything for me. Its like when Lily Allen swears in her songs. It sounds a tad out of place but just makes it more interesting and have a bit of a twist. To me anyways.
😘
@jesslouise1994 im a straight guy & even i agree! lol
8 people were the sailors that drowned
hehe ok, I don't know
I didn't hear it very clearly XD
innit.
