As a true blue Brissie Chick I ❤️ & adore Bernard & The Finger. Seen them more times than I can count & they are one of the best bands live EVER & Bernard is a living legend 😀👍
This song is suddenly going to get popular and it'll all be because of two Ozzie guys who make low-budget, three-minute comedy skits and I think that's brilliant :D
Saw him perform at Falls Fest a few years back. As soon as this song played, everyone lost their minds. It was just a sea of people singing at the top of their lungs, super magical stuff.
Theres someone i really really care about and i know they are happy with someone who i had alot of respect and admiration for - knowing their with that person and seeing how much they've grown in themselves makes my heart happy just knowing he is happy because when u love someone you always wish them the best ❤
Holy shit, what a throw back One of the best aussie songs made - very underrated artist. This used to be my favourite song when I was 6! One of the best aussie songs made - very underrated artist.
I'm always amazed at Bernard's scope as an artist, he has a great vocal range and it it expressed so well on this album. I just want to wish you well sir :)
I remember using this song in 2009 for my teacher's retirement party. Now I'm a week away from graduating high school, and the youngest grade in my school next year began school in 2008. I really hope my grade votes for this to be its graduation song, Wish You Well is a fantastic farewell song
Updated lyrics guys Up so early feel so bright Didn't get much sleep last night Freight train rattled through my head Whistle blowing love is dead Is dead Heart attacked by fear and doubt Won't be long till the truth comes out First impressions never lie Lover's bonds they hold so fast Restless future burning bright The past is holding on so tight Never heard the warning bell And I just want a wishing well I just want a wishing well Welcome swallows dip and swing Take their cue from the slightest thing Rolling fog into my room Why did you give up on me so soon? So soon Restless future burning bright The past is holding on so tight…
Updated updated lyrics: I wake up to the sounds of the silence that allows For my mind to run around with my ear up to the ground Im searching to behold the stories that are told When my back is to the world that was smiling when I turned Tell you you're the greatest But once you turn, they hate us Oh, the misery Everybody wants to be my enemy Spare the sympathy Everybody wants to be my enemy (Look out for yourself) My enemy (look, look, look, look) (Look out for yourself) But I'm ready Your words up on the wall as your praying for my fall And the laughter in the halls and the names that I've been called I stack it in my mind and I'm waiting for the time When I can show you what it's like to be words spit in a mic Tell you you're the greatest But once you turn they hate us (huh) Oh, the misery Everybody wants to be my enemy Spare the sympathy Everybody wants to be My enemy (look, look, look, look) (Look out for yourself) My enemy (look, look, look, look) (Look out for yourself) Uh, look Okay, I'm hoping that somebody pray for me I'm praying that somebody hopes for me I'm staying where nobody 'posed to be P-P-Posted, being a wreck of emotions Ready to go whenever, just let me know The road is long, so just put the pedal to the floor The enemy on my trail, my energy unavailable I'mma tell 'em hasta luego They wanna plot on my trot to the top I've been outta shape thinkin' out the box, I'm an astronaut I blasted off the planetrock to cause catastrophe And it matters more bevause I had it not Had I thought about wreaking havoc on an opposition Kinda shocking they wanted static with precision, I'm automatic Quarterback, I ain't talkin' sacking Pack it, pack it up, I don't panic Batter, batter up, who's the baddest It don't matter 'cause we at your throat Everybody wants to be my enemy Spare the sympathy Everybody wants to be My enemy Oh, the misery Everybody wants to be my enemy Spare the sympathy Everybody wants to be my enemy Pray it away, I swear I'll never be a saint, no way My enemy pray it away, I swear I'll never be a saint, no way My enemy Pray it away, I swear I'll never be a saint no way

all I have to do is search "This used to be my favourite song when I was 6!" this is a banger i love it Saw him in concert last night. Very impressive. This song closed the act.
My husband, a Fanning as well, would have loved to see this. He always said no one name Fanning made it big. No, just the kid who started Napster, Dakota and Elle Fanning,(they aren't my cup of tea but someone must like them somewhere) and I think Peru has a hero named Fanning. Bernard looks a lot like my husband did 30 years ago. Cheers from California.
Came straight from Fairbairn to confirm if it was wish you well or wishing well 😂. But this song was a hit back in my time in Australia. Brings back good memories.
This song is so fuckin shortt!!!!! Dammit! I never realised that. When this was out when I was in Australia, this song was king. I didnt realise it was this short.
I love these lyrics
It's ok

I lost count how many times I saw him and the 'finger in the 90's + 00's
It's called mind programming.The human mind is simple to program in subliminal fashion.
Jealous 😊
I just want a wishing well -
Fairbairn Films
Just love this song, thanks Powderfinger for your small concert back in early 2000's I attended and all of your gorgeous songs. Appreciate ❤❤❤😊😊
This is a masterpiece. Deserves way more than it's received
*"I just want a wishing well"*
lmao
Man of culture 🤣
This song deserves so many more views.
Jaxon: How long have you thought these lyrics were 'wishing well'?
Lachlan: 7 years now
Jaxon: 7 years?!

Great Aussie track !!!
So it turns out we can actually do something right ;)
what's that supposed to mean?
mary ellwood just a joke...
Finally, a non fairbairn related comment
Well the man said it himself, he clearly wanted a wishing well
One of my best 👌 morning 🌄 songs 🎵 to start the day. Unreal
Fanning's like the Australian John Lennon; He's good even when he's not in a band.
Yeah nah
No, john Lennon is the overseas version of bernard 😉
Let’s hope he doesn’t end up like Lennon
Fanning doesn't beat women
Daniel Quinn oof
One of the most underrated songs ever
9 years ago.....
cant understand how people think he is under rated powder finger is one of the biggest aussie bands
The man just wants a wishing well
This song is a bit of a banger though. Underrated.
Who’s from Fairbairn? I just want a wishing well!!! Why d’ya give up on miso soup?!! 2:02
Me
LMAO
Love this song & to see him play it live was amazing ❤
man the quality is next level
Such a beautifully constructed song
i’m absolutely appalled to see this video hasn’t got millions of views 😞 i thought it would’ve had AT LEAST 30 million…….
Holy shit, what a throw back

Amazing song writing. Perfectly describes how I'm feeling right now.
Those Australians brought me here
do want wishing well too

+Yellow Power Ranger I can't help but be extremely curious, did your class vote for this song? Hope they did!
Sadly no, we went with Forever Young which is just fine (if a little bit of an obvious choice)
Yah, well, fair enough.
So, what did you go on to do after high school ? :)

I learned that the lyrics are “I just want a wishing well” from Fairbairn Films.
no there not dummy
@@RealityGamez you did not get the joke..
Updated lyrics guys
Up so early feel so bright
Didn't get much sleep last night
Freight train rattled through my head
Whistle blowing love is dead
Is dead
Heart attacked by fear and doubt
Won't be long till the truth comes out
First impressions never lie
Lover's bonds they hold so fast
Restless future burning bright
The past is holding on so tight
Never heard the warning bell
And I just want a wishing well
I just want a wishing well
Welcome swallows dip and swing
Take their cue from the slightest thing
Rolling fog into my room
Why did you give up on me so soon?
So soon
Restless future burning bright
The past is holding on so tight…
“Why’d you give up on miso soup”
I just want a wishing well
Never love the one in bed
Why are these the updated lyrics? They're wrong.
Updated updated lyrics:
I wake up to the sounds of the silence that allows
For my mind to run around with my ear up to the ground
Im searching to behold the stories that are told
When my back is to the world that was smiling when I turned
Tell you you're the greatest
But once you turn, they hate us
Oh, the misery
Everybody wants to be my enemy
Spare the sympathy
Everybody wants to be my enemy
(Look out for yourself)
My enemy (look, look, look, look)
(Look out for yourself)
But I'm ready
Your words up on the wall as your praying for my fall
And the laughter in the halls and the names that I've been called
I stack it in my mind and I'm waiting for the time
When I can show you what it's like to be words spit in a mic
Tell you you're the greatest
But once you turn they hate us (huh)
Oh, the misery
Everybody wants to be my enemy
Spare the sympathy
Everybody wants to be
My enemy (look, look, look, look)
(Look out for yourself)
My enemy (look, look, look, look)
(Look out for yourself)
Uh, look
Okay, I'm hoping that somebody pray for me
I'm praying that somebody hopes for me
I'm staying where nobody 'posed to be
P-P-Posted, being a wreck of emotions
Ready to go whenever, just let me know
The road is long, so just put the pedal to the floor
The enemy on my trail, my energy unavailable
I'mma tell 'em hasta luego
They wanna plot on my trot to the top
I've been outta shape thinkin' out the box, I'm an astronaut
I blasted off the planetrock to cause catastrophe
And it matters more bevause I had it not
Had I thought about wreaking havoc on an opposition
Kinda shocking they wanted static with precision, I'm automatic
Quarterback, I ain't talkin' sacking
Pack it, pack it up, I don't panic
Batter, batter up, who's the baddest
It don't matter 'cause we at your throat
Everybody wants to be my enemy
Spare the sympathy
Everybody wants to be
My enemy
Oh, the misery
Everybody wants to be my enemy
Spare the sympathy
Everybody wants to be my enemy
Pray it away, I swear
I'll never be a saint, no way
My enemy pray it away, I swear
I'll never be a saint, no way
My enemy
Pray it away, I swear
I'll never be a saint no way
This is by Bernard Fanning? Never would’ve guessed. Man of many sounds
One of the best aussie songs made - very underrated artist.
This used to be my favourite song when I was 6!
Every car ride
Up so early feel so bright
Didn't get much sleep last night
Freight train rattled through my head
Whistle blowing love is dead
Is dead
Heart attacked by fear and doubt
Won't be long till the truth comes out
First impressions never lie
Lover's bonds they hold so fast
Restless future burning bright
The past is holding on so tight
Never heard the warning bell
And I just want to wish you well
I just want to wish you well
Welcome swallows dip and swing
Take their cue from the slightest thing
Rolling fog into my room
Why did you give up on me so soon?
So soon
Restless future burning bright
The past is holding on so tight
Never heard the warning bell
And I just want to wish you well
I just want to wish you well
I just want to wish you well
I just want to wish you well
Why did you give up on me so soon?
Did you give up on me so soon?
I just want to wish you well
I just want to wish you well
What a GREAT song! Remind's me of the best days of my life!!! thank's for the memories :)
Holy shit, what a throw back

Wonder how long after the batteries are replaced will it take to find you in my world... (Hashtag) Dedicated 2 Bernard

Is he dead or something?
Huon Smith
If you mean my husband, yeah he died in 2015.
Not forgetting Mick Fanning, world surfing icon also from Australia.
Wishing well it is!
