    His piano playing is hypnotic. Voice reminds me of James Taylor sometimes. He deserves monster success.

    Rai is an absolute top musician with incredible talent. He also seems to be a great guy. The audience here was quite cold but I know that every single one of them was quietly loving the groove throughout the whole song.

    Rai's voice has such a crisp sound and a heartfelt clarity that rocks my ears and soul and that's before even mentioning the keys skills. Truly Outstanding. Proof Australian musicians don't get the recognition they deserve. WTF is wrong with the rest of the world??????. Are you not hearing this????Rai and Thirsty Merc are amazing by anyone's standards. Aussie rock is the best.......Keep on rocking guys...

    Rai - you bloody ripper. Amazing songwriter, lyricist, and a player that rivals almost anyone you’ll see. He’s lead singer in a famous Aussie band called Thirsty Merc. Chase down a song called 20 Good Reasons and really have a listen. Guaranteed to bring a little tear.

    If I could take some time and throw it in the air
    I have a feeling it would land and you'd be there
    I wanna see you just as much as I don't wanna let you go
    'coz the days get longer and I ride 'em back to the days we took it slow
    No money - that's ok babe
    I know you're still my lady
    It'll take much more than that to make me lose the faith now
    You got me so excited
    I'd love you unrequited
    You'll see, you'll see -- I'm gonna take my story to you now
    It's in my D.N.A. to want you
    It's in my blood and mind and self
    It's in my D.N.A. to want you
    It's fundamental, it's fundamental
    Don't wanna be personal, but you got reality
    And that incredible knack which makes me wild and free
    And you're so beautiful that word is redefined
    In the dictionary there's a picture of you and it now means one of a kind
    You don't need clothes or makeup
    I never wanna break up
    This is a snapshot of the place we lay beside each other
    We don't need laws abiding
    I see your troubles hiding
    You'll see, you'll see - I'm gonna take my story to you now
    It's in my D.N.A. to want you
    It's in my blood and mind and self
    It's in my D.N.A. to want you
    It's fundamental, it's fundamental
    You don't need clothes or makeup
    I never wanna break up
    This is a snapshot of the place we lay beside each other
    We don't need laws abiding
    I see your troubles hiding
    You'll see, you'll see - I'm gonna take my story to you now
    It's in my D.N.A. to want you
    It's in my blood and mind and self
    It's in my D.N.A. to want you
    It's fundamental, it's fundamental
