John Butler, Dan Sultan & Missy Higgins - From Little Things Big Things Grow

[@howzatfilms5820]

Who's listening to this absolute banger in 2021?

[@pamelahay6242]

Timeless.

[@glenn-mareesmith5807]

And still in 2022! Will never get old!

[@ageiiGIRL]

I love how Missy is bare foot. Feel the music through the earth :) Amazing performance by the lot of them.

[@711ROWDY]

I have met her... one of the biggest W######s I ever met

[@pvkoz8698]

They're all stunning. Just finished developing an Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander Peoples culture awareness training program for my dear colleagues. I've never worked on anything like it. We even had Dan Sultan come and sing at our office in 2019 as part of NAIDOC week in which I also participated in a Welcome to Country which could well be the most amazing experience of my life. Had an Aboriginal partner for a while, I'm always humbled and amazed at this incredible culture. I love the whole performance but love Missy Higgins here, she really flies and bare foot too which is awesome. I acknowledge the traditional custodians of this land Australia. I acknowledge and pay my deepest respects to their beliefs, customs, kinship, stewardship of the lands, waterways, skies, flora and fauna in which they lived, played, learnt and thrived.

[@SucculentCarol]

three great aussies thank goodness for John Butler for his seed funding support of unknown artists to help give us Dan Sultan ...he is one amazing aussie voice!!

[@rogerbruton1107]

Respect from Dublin, some tallent down there, I'm falling in love with Australian music

[@drewdrewski6278]

Didn't expect to get choked up - but I did! Aussie.. Aussie.. Aussie...

Aussies

[@SirSamTheThird]

Dan Sultan owns this version of the song, his passion just blows everyone else off the stage. Amazing rendition of one of Australia's greatest and most important songs.

[@scottmusician]

agreed - well said. This is the most important song.

[@ryper2010]

You are so right man, great comment. Love Dan's performance here so much.

[@lukebarton7645]

Missy kills them all

[@711ROWDY]

no way

[@sophe67]

Fuck yeh! so powerful...just perfect!

[@FSPANJAA]

that was the first time I have ever seen Missy Higgins. I'm in love

[@357HFC]

How good is this, seriously. What a great tribute. 104 people need to have a good look at themselves. Nah waste of time. This is REAL MUSIC by REAL MUSICIANS!

[@JohnCran]

Everytime I hear this song I'm taken back to King George Square here in Brissie in the mid 90's for a save the ABC rally. Uncle Kev came and led us all in this song. Along with that was the introduction of Regurgitator by Helen Razor which she finished with "no fucking stage diving" made me proud to be an Aussie, something I feel less and less nowadays.

[@gordondavis1728]

This version with all these people is the ultimate respect to Paul and the fans world wide absofuckinglutly beautiful

[@JemClarke]

Love the original and the version performed by the song writers, Kev Carmody and Paul Kelly, at Gough's funeral... Love the Waifs' version with Clare Bowditch and John Butler... Yet this is the best. Missy and Dan (and John), the arrival of all the others on stage, and the audience participation, make this this most sublime live performance ever.

[@pamelahay6242]

It’s an Anthem and a lesson in Persistence. And yes, it’s a Folksong for and of “ the people”; John Butler called it correctly. Thank you to Kev Carmody and Paul Kelly for immortalising an amazing moment in Australia’s history..... the pouring of a handful of sand...

[@sophe67]

Have played this so many times since discovering it on youtube yesterday ....have seen all 3 of these amazing musicians perform solo...fantastic musicians each one. But all 3 on the same stage, singing from their souls ...MAGIC!

[@jbdsigned]

I agree. Beautiful Australian Music Culture.

[@robertbollard5475]

"And through my grandfather's fingers poured a handful of sand." Dan Sultan is the Grandson of Vincent Lingiari!

[@elizl4686]

Explain more

[@tomwatson9178]

@@elizl4686 Dan Sultan is a descendant of Vincent Lingiari. From the National Portrait Gallery: "Dan Sultan (b. 1983), Arrernte/Gurindji singer/songwriter, grew up in Melbourne. Sultan's father is Irish and his mother, of the Arrernte/Gurindji people of the Northern Territory, is a direct descendent of Vincent Lingiari, the Wave Hill stockman and land rights leader, and is part of the Stolen Generations, taken from her family at the age of seven."

[@striderranger7384]

This is fantastic! Thank you Matt of 99.9 Bay FM in Byron Bay for sending it to me here in the outback of New Mexico.

[@petegibson82]

Now that was a treat!!!

[@andrewraphael5000]

Haha Dan Sultan's impressed with himself when he nails that harmony with Missy. Priceless

[@markhopkins8338]

This is incredible. I never heard Missy Higgins sing so well. A new level of respect for her after hearing this one. Paul Kelly - what a legend.

[@soundzrinmygarden3833]

Watch her cover Hearts a Mess.

[@simondixon3889]

You have never heard Missy Higgins sing so well? Have you heard her sing before?

[@markhopkins8338]

@@simondixon3889 I think she's brilliant. I just never heard her sing as well as this. It's not meant as a diss, more of a compliment.

[@simondixon3889]

@@markhopkins8338 She's just something else for me mate. I have never had a crush on a celebrity before. She is something else for me. Not in a weird way btw haha

[@jeffnunn4203]

What a stirring performance from 3 incredible talents

[@DaveWheeler]

Had a good friend sing this song at our wedding, still one of my happiest days and such a great Aussie song

[@belindashort3280]

Such an awesome wedding!

[@DaveWheeler]

Glad other people had a good time too!

[@simondixon3889]

This song is so much more than the Aboriginal people's struggles. It's the struggle of all people once free.

John made me cry... why? He is so adorable omg. He looks so small but I've met him and my head goes up to his shoulders....

@happywadey John Butler was born in California USA and lived there until he was 11. He also travels the world for work ...... his accent reflects that And personally I think he honours this song in a major way!!

[@jbdsigned]

Best version I have heard so far. Apart from the original.

[@BM-xn1jr]

Australia is not a young country! Everyone seems to forget that the Aboriginal people lived there for over 60000 years, which is why Vincent Lingiari (who this song is about) fought for Aboriginal Land Rights.

[@takesalototime]

HOT!!!

Does anyone have an audio file of this?

Not much truly breaks my spirit. The No vote has though.
