Australia's most underrated band. Musical genius.
Only found out last night that these guys are actually awesome musos, only knew them from a few songs on the radio. Been watching Ray play piano on UA-cam all morning!
@@mackeywhaleboy Thanks ! You just reminded me they are playing a local gig in our city of Perth next month. I will have to look for tickets.
It's always fun to hear pop songs played with a little actual musicianship. Rai is beyond talented.
Holy Hell... Australia has some of the best talent in the world..Thirsty Merc are up there with the best...Speedy recovery to you Mick...Cant wait to see you back on stage...
@tayke1plz No, they're not, 2 of them, Phil (the bass player) and Karl (the drummer in this video, unfortunately no longer with the band) came from my hometown of Dubbo, the other two original member, Rai and Matt, came from Sydney. They all met at the Sydney Conservatorium.
2017 already and I can't stop watching this video, so much talent in less than 5 minutes..
I never realized this was a good song, until I heard this version. What an incredible band.
verse Fm7, Eb7
chorus Dbmaj7, Ab (Eb on the bass), C (E on the bass), Fm7, Dbmaj7, Abmaj7, Gm7b5, C7b9.
for the Terence trent d'Arby ending part Fm7, Bb7
Thanks for that. I'm just trying to work out the passing/approach chords and all the inversions Rai uses. I love all the chord voicing he uses. Im a drummer so its not coming naturally!
This cover never grows old!!! Love it!!
The double bass player... love it... this inspires me beyond belief! There are still real musicians out there!
+Kaitlyn Baker Phil is so amazing right?!? He is my double bass teacher, and so inspiring every single lesson!
oh my gosh! I wish i could meet him! that would be amazing. You are so lucky to have him as your teacher! thankyou for sharing this with me!
+Laura Small did you/are you learning from Phil at James Morrison Academy? I've been to Generations in Jazz for a few years now and read somewhere that Phil teaches at JMA
all these people complaining that the video only has however many views..chill and be happy that you're one of them
Killing it vocally and musically without electronic intervention. So very genuine. Genuine lyrics and skills. Rai slaying it....
Ohhhh having this at my wedding! So awesome xx
This is ridiculously good. You guys deserve so much more support and recognition.

You guys are spectacular, so talented! I wish you had recorded that version in an album!!

Seriously, Thirsty Merc, leave some talent for the rest of us! Nah actually, keep it, and continue to blow minds- you're one of those bands who do a service to people by playing your music, and I feel like that's why you're in it, and it makes me happy.
