So tell me family now what do you think? Watch it all go in the great big sink. Watch how the scum it rises to the top. Don't you wonder when it's all gonna stop? Sometimes I wonder how we do sleep, serving the dodgy companies we keep. All kicking and scrounging for the very first place - dictionary definition of a rat race. Pay off those losers we elect to lead, stealing from the mouths that we're meant to feed. Enslaving the very clothes upon my back, I feel the sting but I hear no crack, no crack,
I'm saying +
Running through the fire, running through the flame, running through the hatred, pushing through the blame, running through the hopelessness and shame, revolution already underway ++
[B]ig Heavy [P]irates man digging those holes, messing with something that they can't control. Trespassing lands where they don't belong, all I hear is screaming where there once were songs. I got my brothers they're fighting those wars, fighting over scraps and scraping their sores. Under a blanket of a fire and pride that can't keep us warm for the cold inside, inside,
I'm saying +
So tell me when you think we're gonna rise? Wake from this slumber wipe the tears from our eyes? Yes from this nightmare yes I must now wake, open my fist my destiny I take! Good people sick and tired of being pushed around, we call them kings but I see no crown. Tell me when you think we'll just stand up? Saying enough is enough is enough, enough,
I'm saying
++ Take back your feet, take back your hands, take back your words, take back your land. Take back your heart, take back your pride, don't got to run, don't got to hide.
Revolution!
It's 2020, and it's the first time I'm even discovering John Butler Trio. I feel like I have to truly savor this moment, you know>?
I grew up listening to JBT on the radio but lately rediscovered them and tbh never really appreciated them for how good they truly are.
Bulgarian here. John has bulgarian origin through his ancestors. He went dighing and researching his family history and came to BG. His trip and the things he learned about the bulgarians and the April Uprising which happened in Bulgaria in 1876 served as the inspiration for the album. The bulgarian coat of arms since the medieval times has always incorporated lions. Suh was the flag for the April Uprising as well and such is the album cover as well as the model of letters for the album title who are made in the exact old bulgarian-cyrillic-like style. Stand vigilant and defend your rights and freedoms no matter who or how big or small you are! This is what makes the bulgarian 19th century and Englightment period so akeen to the US one or the one in the English-speak countries - the desire for freedom, justice and fairness. To each his own!
Very cool to know, I’ve seen them live and this was one of my favorite songs by them - they are amazing live btw.
This song is timeless. Comments from 9 years ago with more new ones every day. Too good.
2024, still feeling this song into the deepest part of my heart ❤
Song will forever be immortalized as catalyzing the greatest awakening movement in human history. Thank you
When our generation looks back John we will remember you, we love ya man...
John ....your song Revolution couldn't be more relivant than to what is happening before us now....and may be the only way globally that will save us all and our children.
@dimsim34 Australia is giving away future resources to companies like Woodside which are majority owned by international investors. The resources they remove from Australia get shipped overseas before we see a fraction of the profits which Governments then waste in various ways. China is stockpiling resources because they know when the paper money system collapse, countries holding lots of cash and nothing but big holes in the ground will be easy to control. Australia is being cleaned out.
Wow
Australia is being sold to the chinese now. You must fight your freedom back otherwise you're going to be like all those chinese people in china in communist regime
@dimsim34 Australia requires $1 billion dollars a DAY to simply stay above it's debt obligations so $1.8 billion isn't even 48 hours of operating this country. The resources aren't going anywhere, they shouldn't be given away to international money when we're entering a currency crisis that's going to make paper money worthless and resources king. We should be taking time to remove these resources with care to all concerned, charging a lot more for them &/or keeping them for future planning
I need to remind myself to watch this clip every day. It is pure art. It gives me goosebumps. But most importantly it reminds me to be positive, don't sweat the small stuff, love all of humankind no matter what their culture. John Butler and his music has always kept me grounded. This song gives us perspective. What a beautiful song.
The Pop-Culture marketing machine is strong, and John Butler has no interest in buying into the celebrity club; he has so much more sincerity than that. People don't always know why they like the music they are fed by the machine, but they know why they like John Butler Trio; because there is a real depth here, a real connection to humanity, a real musician, and real proof of greatness.
Empire Music Promotions Music PR absolutely right, I can't even listen to the radio anymore
Thats why even tho jbt is platinum more than once they still wont get radio play. Fuck the machined
Sure he sings and believes.
What is the actual difference has he or the majority of virtual and virtue signaling of fans made?
I ask as a person who is tired of song and Dance but wants The Revolution +!
Ps I am not talking about what the elites and capitalist controllers promote with sexual, racial and gender war and differences but the oppression and slavery of honest hard working families, women , men and thier children by the banksters and the associated offshoots.
JB is the one of our most talented musicians of our time. He doesn't surcome to anyone or anything and writes absolutly beautiful music. AUSSIE music at it's best!!!!!
been listening to John and lads for over 10 years now. knew no matter where they're heard, they're loved
2020 and this song is so absolutely relevant today
I completely forgot this song till it came up in my recommendations, one of my favorite songs back in the day
💯!!
seen them for the first time live at All Good 2011, and majorly impressed, they are quite and amazing trio much love & love the positive messages!viva revolution!
John Butler never fails to inspire me. For years I thought I was the only one who played my acoustic through effects pedals to achieve a different dynamic. I'm glad I found his music.
Im gonna re-watch this untill it reach 1 mil i dont care how much its gonna take! I swear to god Im gonna do it! this kind of music deserve more than just this!
Love it.....how proud I am to be in love with the music and imagery of this great talent.....thank you JBT......
i was very lucky 2 meet john butler, im from Ireland and i was touring around oz, and i bumped into him in a little book shop in Perth, i had my guitar with me and he sined it for me, he is a true gent and his music is amazing, as he said 2 me, spread the love and save the world :-) legend!!
How fitting this message is for the present times we are living in now, just amazing. And this song is 10yrs old- off his album April Uprising.
Just...WOW. This is my favourite song off April Uprising and the video did justice to the song. I love how the video was in black and white. From the shots and the faces of the people, they evoked deep and meaningful emotions. Loved this.
John Butler is, has, and will forever be one of the finest musicians and artists to grace my ear drums.
Great song and band
Simply put: This is music in its purest form. John makes music the way it should be..."the way he hears it." Not what the record companies tell him, not because of what he looks like, not because of what trends might be "hot". His music comes from the soul...not some machine (autotune).
Everytime I have a negative attitude about the world and think there is no hope for minorities to make a change i listen to this song and i am filled with the energy to carry on fighting for what i believe in!
Since the release of April Uprising this song has been playing on my stereo almost constantly. I was sad to see that the radio release was chopped down removing some of the beautiful vibe. It's great to hear a song with such emotion in these current days. It's a shame to see people squabbling down in the comments below me. This is a song about discarding hatred and such bitterness. I must say though CD version much better than the radio version, sucks this had to be cut short.
"Venha!
Meu coração está com pressa
Quando a esperança está dispersa
Só a verdade me liberta
Chega de maldade e ilusão
Venha!
O amor tem sempre a porta aberta
E vem chegando a primavera
Nosso futuro recomeça
Venha!
Que o que vem é Perfeição"
Revolução!
Legião
BR \o/
I get chills and almost tear up as soon as it starts. "Messin wit something that they can't control"
I could dance to this all night, his words move my body to sway and rock, and the motivation moves my feet to want to act. Seeing the faces and knowing our struggle, makes me dance to change ! Damn John Butler is awesome!
The guy krumping makes me cry. So powerful.
I just saw these guys in Charlotte NC, what a great band, I was amazed throughout the night that only three guys were making that sound... And I have been to a TON of shows... Rock on JBT
JBT are amazing! I have been listening to their music for a couple of years and it never gets old. It's amazing what they stand up for. I wish more people could recognize these guys because they have a lot of great tunes. I saw them in Toronto and the Sound Academy and when they return again I will be there! Keep fighting! And get back to the Toronto area again soon!!!
Best part of living in oz for 3 years was finding JBT. This song gets me up in the morning and puts me to sleep at night
Completely amazing. To me, it shows the beauty within everyone, no matter who they are.
Such a powerful and relevant song, JBT are the best Aussie band
This song should be hitting the millions. Great song with a powerful message meanwhile Katy perry's single Dark Horse has already hit 50m hits in the space of 7 days. Sad days.
Sad days when people rely on "clicks/views & "likes"...
SuperHarhoura I see it now has :)
SuperHarhoura The hits here have a tad more substance. IMHO :)
real music is lost these days
you mean comunication?
I can't believe this clip hasn't had millions of hits. It's fantastic!!
Powerful song. Very powerful. I am a 45 yr old single father of 4, as to some, demographics matter. This song echos my feelings of amazement as I watch as our world goes down the tubes. So many in power making decisions based on what will KEEP them and whatever party they belong to in power. Meanwhile there are so many wrongs happening all at once in so many places that we DO have the power to fix, yet those in power ignore them because those voting blocks do not further thier selfish ends. I t
this song brought hopeful tears in my eyes ...that more and more i see hope in people..consciousness is answer...
There are loads of songs that layer different guitars. In fact, pretty much every song that involves some guitar has layering. Even songs that have pure electric guitar sounds will layer acoustic or clean sounds behind them, just to improve feel and tone
He is awesome hope he goes to reggaetown in cairns australia again this year
The first JBT song I've actually really enjoyed. Zebra and his stuff from a few years ago were just simple alternative pop songs. This one is really different, fantastic how he actually has a great new dimension to him where he is creating his own sound finally!
no other song gives me the same feeling this one does. breathtaking
JBT have such awesome lyrics. It feels like every song they're singing, they're singing it to me alone.
This song never gets old I love it
saw this song at red rocks last night. purely amazing. he did a solo performance by looping his voice as harmonics.
this song builds so well. its incredibly powerful.
why are so few views ?? more people should hear this song.
it has a positive message, positive vibe, it's pure art
Cant believe this song doesn't have like 500,000,000 views AT LEAST.
@Eschelonistic brings a tear to my eye too..prob the most moving JBT song I've heard in a long time.
how has this band not made it big in America??!!! Fantastic!!!
I have already 'liked' this and added it to my Favourites... but I feel that's not enough! I must wait until I'm alone in the house and play it endlessly...
It's god Ghandi, big earings, and old man, a man playing with his hands, funky dancing and John Butler. It's got Everything.
i dont no why but everytime i see this clip i feel like crying
We like studied this song for our poetry unit in class was the best
"I got my brothers, they are fighting those wars. Fighting over scraps and there scraping their souls" Gives me chills every time.
I'll say it again...
Simply put: This is music in its purest form. John makes music the way it should be..."the way he hears it." Not what the record companies tell him, not because of what he looks like, not because of what trends might be "hot". His music comes from the soul...not some machine (autotune).
JBT reminds me that there actually are people out there that give a damn about more than money and boyfriends and drama. They help keep me hopeful that humans will change. As long as there are people like this, and people who believe in his message...there will be hope for positive change.
I just discovered this band yesterday...love them!
Favorite song of theirs im so glad I went to Australia and found out about them one of my favorite bands
@thisismyusername64 I highly doubt he wrote this song about the BP oil spill (occurred April 20th) since the album was released an entire month beforehand (March 26). So factor in production, recording, and writing, the song was probably written sometime between Dec-Feb if not earlier.
JBT all day. if he was on the radio here in america for a week, people here would be obsessed too
going to see them this thursday in the manchester arena!! cannot wait to see these guys in the flesh!!
Still feel it just like ten years ago and it's just true music that's the realest cause it real
Video and song are full of soul. Simply wonderful.
Beautiful exaltation of humankind. We look too little to men in his variety
@paintedmind Why think you have all the answers when commenting on UA-cam? Show us your efforts and prove your results. Know where JB is right now? Up in North WA near the Kimberleys with the protests against the Gas Hub. Where are you? At home slagging people on youtube. PERSPECTIVE, get some.
this is seriously one of my favorite songs and videos ever.
Thank you for simply existing. Your music brings so much light to my life. :)
Wow. Such a brilliantly crafted song. Can't stop listening to it.
Such a good song! They're music is so great.. right from the heart!
I really like this song and video. I saw it on a music channel. Usually I don't watch music videos but this caught my attention... I watched to the end :)
love this song
gave me chills up my spine
same tho. its so good and so true
Your music us truly amazing, I am able to connect deeply with it. Thank you guys for continuing to share your talents 💜
Aiste.. Aiste.. Im glad you came
Just come across this. Brilliant!!
Sometimes we just need a moment of clarity to realize we could use some help becoming a better person; we might take a step back and look at what matters. I think JBT have that sort of message in their music.
looking forward to seeing these guys in a week up in Boston. i've been a fan since i first heard em in 04. really looking forward to the show. love the new album.
☮
Yes this age is the age of revolution ! we will create a better world, together !
Producer: So John, what kind of people do you want in the video?
John: ...
Producer: ...
John: Yes
This song gives me chills all over
JBT FOR LIFE, GREATEST BAND EVR
Excellent Music Always
Just as great in standard as you are in open :) Merry Christmas John and Fam
simple, but awesome^^
i already though there wouldn´t be another video after "one way road" ^^
but I´m happy I waited, this is awesome^^
Oh Yeah!.... What a song, a universe in 4 minutes !! And the video..... Ordinary people being extraordinary! In the end..... the sameness. They were themselves. Proud!!
I get chills listening to this
Yes mate dead right I'd be jealous as a kiwi but this man's work is far too noble for such thoughts. Majestic, world changing art.
im in love with that voice... who agrees?
HOW DOES THIS NOT HAVE OVER A MILLION VIEWS!?
Amazing lyrics and music - love the chorus!
Let it be a testament to all parties involved. Some people go through life with no desire to be good at all.
definitely in accordance with the times. Beautiful.
man these are some words and music to live by.
John is a genius, changed my entire outlook on music and life.
Going to see him in Charlotte in 2 weeks, Pretty excited!!
Fuck.
Sorry. Excuse the swearing if you're easily offended but it's how I express myself when there are no other words.
I've been following John and his trios since I was about 12, about 10 years ago. I've bought every album. I've been to approximately 6 gigs. I own several t-shirts/caps/stickers,etc
I suppose I'm a fan! But seriously, this dude just gets better with age. This man has no idea how he has influenced my life. His music got me to pick up my guitar. This song just takes the cake.
one of the best song EVER
cant stop listening to this love bless
This song is really great.
Seems like every tune off this album is just mega
