Follow follow the sun
And which way the winds blow
When this day is done
Breath, breath in the air
Set your intentions
Dream with care
Tommorow’s a new day for everyone
A brand new moon a brand new sun
So follow, follow the sun
The direction of the birds
The direction of love
Breathe, breathe in the air
Cherish this moment
Cherish this breath
Tomorrow's a new day day for everyone
A brand new moon, brand new sun
When you feel life coming down on you, like a heavy weight
When you feel this crazy society adding to the strain
Take a stroll to the nearest water's edge, remember your place
Many moons have risen and fallen long, long before you came
So which way is the wind blowing
What does your heart say
So follow, follow the sun
And which way the wind blows
When this day is done
And which way the winds blow
When this day is done
Breath, breath in the air
Set your intentions
Dream with care
Tommorow’s a new day for everyone
A brand new moon a brand new sun
So follow, follow the sun
The direction of the birds
The direction of love
Breathe, breathe in the air
Cherish this moment
Cherish this breath
Tomorrow's a new day day for everyone
A brand new moon, brand new sun
When you feel life coming down on you, like a heavy weight
When you feel this crazy society adding to the strain
Take a stroll to the nearest water's edge, remember your place
Many moons have risen and fallen long, long before you came
So which way is the wind blowing
What does your heart say
So follow, follow the sun
And which way the wind blows
When this day is done

New music that doesn't suck! I'll give it a 7, Mr. Clark!! The photo of the dude as a sorta one-man-band, with the drums and didgerydoodoo's up his nose etc etc is rather, er ...distressing, however. |

| teleskialaska (Alaska) | Posted: Feb 28, 2013 - 15:11 I saw him in Anchorage, Alaska several years back. He did a free outdoor concert to support "The Oceans Festival" I had no idea who he was befor I saw him but I became an instant fan. Very cool of him to travel all the way up to Alaska, and play for free to support a cause he beilieves in. He is an amazing talent. |

| DJ_BellsEye | Posted: Feb 28, 2013 - 15:07 Nice. Very Eddie Vedder-like voice. Made me look up and take note. |
| skyguy (CO) | Posted: Jan 19, 2013 - 14:50 I had the pleasure of seeing him open for R&G at Red Rocks from the 3rd row. Took my 74 yr old mom-she loved it! That base box he plays was awesome! Highly recommended. |

Perhaps you should drag your ignorant ass to one of Xavier's concerts and see him sing, play (slide) guitar, percussion AND digeridoo's all combined in one song...  I bet you would even suck at sitting between all these instruments, let alone trying to play one of them. Yeah... I know... So between work and another personal experience not going well at the moment... I see a man who can't share and wants to control everything himself. Time to take a break outside and get a breath of fresh air. BTW, I really like his music and his messages don't convey my thoughts above at all. But like I said, bad day. Good on ya mate! |

| kayakingclark | Posted: Dec 25, 2012 - 03:22 I absolutely love this song. Thanks Radio Paradise for making a great Christmas even better. Donation on it's way, Merry Christmas all. |

| joelbb | Posted: Dec 17, 2012 - 01:02 Bill played this just to give us all perspective on the degree to which the Byrne-Eno collaboration sucked. |

| Kimbolini (Vancouver Island, Canada) | Posted: Dec 05, 2012 - 15:08 Every time I hear this, I think how much he must have listened to Paul Simon. Nice. |

SUPER-SUCKO! Have you ever considered the expression "It's not my cup of tea?" |
| caazbroker (Tucson and Los Angeles) | Posted: Nov 15, 2012 - 16:14 Saw him last month in Los Angeles - he had the crowd rocking on almost every song! Try to see him if he is in town - he played five different didgeridoos - impressive! |

| Sloggydog (UK) | Posted: Nov 04, 2012 - 05:50 Really cool and yes mate I can most definitely hear the Simon influence |
| Sasha2001 (The business end of Bloomberg's education machine.) | Posted: Nov 01, 2012 - 13:57 I read somewhere about how Xavier Rudd thought that Stingray wrote the very best comments above music on the internet, there was no one else better. |

| Saire (Perth, Australia) | Posted: Oct 15, 2012 - 07:53 Not a huge Xavier Rudd fan, but I do like this song. Especially the lyric about going to the water when you're down and remembering your place. Just lovely :) |

| hbs47 (SE England) | Posted: Oct 01, 2012 - 03:56 Waaay too much vibrato really annoying. Distracts from what could be a good song underneath. 4 for that possibility. |

SUPER-SUCKO! |

Nice Voice, beautifully non-overexcited. Simple, clear, pure, right. Like it a lot. Just what I was feeling. Nicely said. I was surprised to see that the overall rating is so low. Beautifu song. |

And apparently a few others as well. So funny to me — and pleasing — to find so many music lovers on this RP community that relate to music on a deeper level than most everyday people I interact with in person. I love having this "virtual" connection at least, at something that is rare finding in real life. |
| Hogtownmike (Toronto) | Posted: Aug 30, 2012 - 15:05 I agree that it does sound a fair bit like Paolo Nuttini—but in my case, I like it! |
