It's 2023 and I'm still listening to this sing - one of my favorites ever! Thank you so much, John, for all the soul you put in your art! I always share your songs with my friends and your music really talks to me! Cheers from Brasil!
This song will always hold a special place in my heart. Tell me where life goes in such a rush Like that melted snow in your blue eyes No one ever could try to tell us Both were young and full of all our lies We got in real deep they all could see Running from the sun casting our shadows No one trusted us not even me We hung ourselves to rot upon our gallows Lies We built our castles high upon the rise Oh, so young, young and wild [x4] Tell me where life goes with some old friends 'Cause we don't see each other anymore All candles do melt, we burnt both ends And there is nothing left we have in store Down I saw myself there lying on the ground You blew your breath Deep into my soul Where we have been No one will ever know Where we have been no one will ever know Oh, so young, young and wild
Thank you, John Butler, from the bottom of my heart. Your music reminds me how important it is to feel. I ain't foolin', it's a lifesaver, a lighthouse. Thank you. Thank you.
i hear hip hop....and that for 20 years...it's absolutely the opponent of this music....but only this music opens my heart...still breath and take a hear for a while....and you feel only good...its deep!!!
Need a reminder of how beautiful life really is? Just listen to any John Butler song. Have not found another artist who can evoke such rich and beautiful emotions through song. Thank you.
So beautiful and so emotional. I spent a big portion of the 2020 listening to this song while on quarentine. Thank you John buttler for putting this together.
What time I sat alone here in the snow And saw no footprint, heard the silence sink no----moment at your voice---but link by link went counting all my chains, They could never Fall off Never to feel the thrill
One of the most moving songs I've heard in a long time Mr. Butler. Can't hear it enough. The older I've gotten, the less emotional I've become, but I'm bawling like a baby right now.
I'm walking around in Blackfoot listen to your songs and band your a good singer Hun you make me feel happy and smile 😁 I trust you babe 😘😚 I never been dating a good person who's white boyfriend John butler trio I'm a native Lady who respect you and your band and your songs
This is such a beautiful song. Makes me think of my life's decisions.. good and bad. Makes me wonder what it would be life if I did things differently. Makes me think of the people iv helped and also people iv hurt, people iv stepped on to get ahead but ultimately ended up nowhere but where I began. Life is what you make it... think of what you can do to improve yourself and accept responsibility for the wrongs you have done to your friends, family and yourself. Everybody deserves to be at peace with themselves.. something iv struggled for a long time with... Iv always loved people more than iv loved myself despite what iv done wrong.. I can be selfish at times as anybody can be, but letting it eat you up inside for wanting to be normal is natural.. The problem with that is nobody is normal, we are who we are, we are unique. We all make mistakes.. Acceptance and forgiveness is the only peace anybody will ever truly find for others and themselves. This song hits me hard.. John butler, you wrote a masterpiece and I will forever hold this song in my heart as I am sure you do.. Spread the love and keep writing beautiful music.
come on! this is one of the best songs ever made. period! the emotion is indescribable. the lyrics are universal. don't ever stop listening there is a reason this song touches your soul. contemplate and repeat. please!
Songs like this remind my baby mom and I on how much we love each other and how we will never forget it for as long as we are young wild ,.... and with each other till our funeral
YES, 'YONG and WILD' is a consciousness, timeless in its telling, I am an 85 year inhabitant of Mother Earth yet the Wild knowing of Youth prevails in my very BEING... It is the bounce in my step, it is the ever present Spring of my birth , it is the theme of Rocky as I ascend flights of stairs, it is the pulse of love within my heart, it is the supernal Joy of having a beautiful and spirited, Great Granddaughter who lives the light,
I would much prefer him as a guitarist, without the vocals. As far as I'm concerned, he gets lumped into the whiny, mumble-mouthed, dread-head festival player category, but he's better than most of those ain't-lived-yet-but-I-got-shit-to-sing-about fools. I do not give a fuck if anyone wants to criticize me. So tired of people who denounce thoughtful if opinionated commenters -- such as me -- as 'trolls'.
Thank you John for your amazing art. It fills my heart with love and hope for all humanity. My Fathers name is John and he passed away a year and a half ago. John is one of my favorite names.
Thanks again John Charles butler trio your band is good guys I respect your band your a good singer I'm pretty much proud of your band and you babe 😚😘 I'm watching your songs and band your a handsome guy and I respect you and your band and songs they make me feel happy inside of my heart 💜
That look he gives at the end of the song where it seems as if he just entered that time frame and sang his story face to face to the one he had to let go. You can tell he doesn't want to open his eyes to come back to reality but stay just a bit longer. The sad, empty, nostalgic gaze. I am too familiar with this currently; but having a song to relate with on the same level helps significantly. Thank you John
i hear hip hop for 20 years...but nothing is open up my heart like this...it's absolutely the opponent of hiphop....still breathe and take a hear for a while....it's great music and a great musician!💪💪💪💪💪💪
Oh my god... where is Cat Stevens for a duet or comparison when you need it? How old I am now, but this reminds me of being young and makes me wish I had done more. Damn. We are all young when we wish we were older and old when we wish we were younger. Don't waste the time you have. It won't come back.
You play with such emotion and such depth. It's like you pourring your soul out for the whole world to intake with the guitar there to catch it all. Thank you for existing at the same moment as me. I very much appreciate your sharing. Virtual hug from Quebec 🌎☄
John butler trio thanks again for being serious about your songs and band your a good 👍 singer Hun I'm feeling Good respect ful to you and your band and your songs are really amazing music really amazing music
Thank you for always putting musicality first. Instead of just showing off your technical prowess, it's about the creative artistry above all. Thanks again.
You cant teach someone how to be like John Butler. His voice, his incredible guitarplaying and his songwriting are just unreachable. He's truly a unique specimen.
en la actualidad en donde la mayoría de las emisoras rebosan con reggaeton a sus radioescuchas y donde parece ser que no hay lugar para el verdadero talento puro e innato,escuchar este tipo de música la puedo definir como un momento para descansar,apreciar,apasionarse y tomar la iniciativa de salvar lo poco que nos queda,gracias john buttler.
luis felipe ortega benavides amigo estas en lo correcto dicen que ya no hay talento en el mundo. si hay solo tenemos que buscar y encontraremos artistas como el. yo como musico siento lo mismo que el cuando toma la guitarra
Cannabis is most likeable culprit, she'll be right on the gap, Medicare cares that 3m is high, that roof ies, peak 27m, 0.3672 seconds. Worth getting Siri to pull up GPA, Haptic frequently, it's a bit old, still born to live an apathy toward, death Dr of privately quiet, sad ness is pulmonary, grief is more a sodomy suppressant. At least not likely, ugly I know, able and I'm sure, willing to read these parables and I, unquote. Suicide sucks like an 8.30 low tide, reminders like this do help in the seasons as they spring toward fall. 100k I'd ne hau, ci ci. TV .
"Young And Wild" Tell me where life goes in such a rush Like that melted snow in your blue eyes No one ever could try to tell us Both were young and full of all our lies We got in real deep they all could see Running from the sun casting our shadows No one trusted us not even me We hung ourselves to rot upon our gallows Lies We built our castles high upon the rise Oh, so young, young and wild [x4] Tell me where life goes with some old friends 'Cause we don't see each other anymore All candles do melt, we burnt both ends And there is nothing left we have in store Down I saw myself there lying on the ground You blew your breath Deep into my soul Where we have been No one will ever know Where we have been no one will ever know Oh, so young, young and wild [x8]
2020? This should be mandatory everyday listening. A trio of Soul touchers. True musicians music transmitted to the masses encapsulating the messages of, " you're not alone in life". All conveyed through their emotional written word and musical composition. If you find these guys consider yourself blessed. Thanks John, Byron and Grant. . Come back to California soon.
How have I only heard of this amazing man now?? This is true, true talent. Music with feeling, heart and soul. Why can't music like this make it on the radio??
John Butler!!!! I just discovered your music and honestly I've never heard something that spoke to my soul more! Your music was the first to bring me to tears. Absolutely love it!!!!
If I hadn't been "snowed in "... I would have had the New CD immediately ... ~ XXxx ~ I can't get enough of feeling Your music......... Thank you ......so many times it got me through rough times ............Peace...
On a whim, I clicked on Ocean. That was the first time I ever heard a song and knew from the video that it was played on a 12-string guitar. They touched me so strongly I've been playing guitar for 10 years and never really connected with it I was encouraged to go find a 12-string guitar that sang to me. This is what I was looking for. Thank you for helping me on my heart soul's Journey. You are truly a blessing.
Listening to new JBT songs is like waking up on christmas morning, thanks guys! and I wish I could have made it to your Vancouver shows this weekend hope you have a blast in raincity.
+Vic Vice There is only one and there will never be another John Butler. Try being yourself in your own way, then someday, someone, might just say the same about you; I want to be like Vic Vice! Now that IMHO would be an achievement of a lifetime.
Always a pleasure John listening to your music, I met you once in the Melbourne airport years ago, I feel in another time and space we could be friends😀👍👍👍
