the way i see it, is that john butler is one of the few people with enough talent to draw from all of his inspirations without sounding like any particular one in particular, or sounding like hes ripping them off, hes a very inventive and talented individual
MUSICALEMENT,C'EST PROPRE. ARTISTIQUEMENT AUSSI,JOHN BUTLER TRIO,EST UN ARTISTE COMPLET ET UN TYPE REMARQUABLEMENT GÉNIALE,AVEC UN CŒUR ÉNORME. CONTINUE MON BON VIEUX JOHN.
Cool Song, great guitar playingSo have you been to the valley lately? Have you noticed that the shepherd is gone? So walk gently lady As you walk along Cos I once fought for his forces But that cross bears nothing now I've seen all but your Crusades succeed And it's growing sour Gonna be a long time waitin Things are always looking little better when you're on the back Side of them And then you know all that you think you might need to know But even then, my little wing, you'll have to grow You'll have to grow So have you been to your God lately? No Jesus Christ, he ain't nowhere to be seen He is not there matey He has never been So have you been to your church lately No cannot find the key to your home There is no support for you now my friend They got problems of their own
My girlfriend just left my house, its 11:00 PM . Feel like the most happy guy in the world . And this song ... I dont know if anyone of use could describe the power this song have . When I listen to that song ... I say to myself , man , that was a great day , and tommorow probably gonna be as good as today . Now , this song really mean something for me . I know probably that nobody will see that but if you see it , take time , and relax .
@TheCanadianPancake Does music really need to be defined with a genre? Music is just that. Music. It's a universal language, it doesn't need any subdivisions. Just tell em it's pure greatness then whip this video out. They won't question it ;)
@1cupofwater Im a really devoted JB fan but I cant get my hands on colours, desert snow, long trek, and some place familiar...any guidance as to how and I would be really grateful, this man is my hero. Any links orr?
It happened with me, but with Spring of John Butler. Its kinda describe exactly one of the happiest moments of my life that happened recently. I cant stop smiling, with that song, and with these one too.
@cheesynounou I am not the best at analyzing lyrics, but the way I see it, it almost seems like he was upset at the church for something in this song. I'm pretty sure John is a believer, so with lyrics like "I once for his forces/but the cross bears nothing now/I've seen all but your crusades succeed and it's growing sour" and the lyric that sounds like the church is too vested in their own problems to help someone else out, just seems like the church let him down in some way.
And then you know all that you think you might need to know/ But even then though my little wing you are to grow!" This song is amazing on his Living album
What style of music is this? lot people ask me, what kind of style is that? and I can only say, sorry mate I don`t now :) can someone tell me that? thanks! Good old JB
Probably open C tuning as allways on his 12 string (actually 11 without the double 3rd string) but this may be played with capo still some open tuning (check some tabs) :)
You're so far off it's silly that you're even commenting when you obviously know nothing about Guitar. This Guitar line is more Complex than you could ever fucking fathom lil guy!
I think what people are trying to say is, that if you take the best parts of some of the greatest bands, mix them together... you end up with John Butler... or something like that. I hear what you're saying tho, John Butler is John Butler, no one else
