Kirin J Callinan - The Whole Of The Moon

[@acclaimedmusicianadrianpit1221]

Friendly reminder that Kirin is an easy contender for most consistently stunning musician currently workin

[@Tomfish3000]

You lucky bunny, got a heart from the bloke himself :) if any follow up even comes close to Bravado it's an album of the year contender

[@GEORGETHOMAS2001]

@@Tomfish3000 Faxx, Bravado is literally my favorite album of all time, and I listen to a lot of shit

[@rtcordes]

I’d never heard of him. Then saw him open for broncho and was blown away, never seen anything like it. Spoke to him afterwards about and he was so humble too.

[@acclaimedmusicianadrianpit1221]

Babish brought me here!

[@SpaceExplorer]

ru the guy that molested him when he checked into the mental institution

[@BusinessMuscles]

hijacking this comment to point out that, while I absolutely LOVE this rendition, this song is actually a cover. It was written by Mike Scott, the front man of Scottish band The Waterboys. Blew me away that Babish said it's his pick for the song played at his funeral because it's the first time I've ever heard someone else talk about it. Seriously one of my favorite songs of all time, but Kirin did not write it.

[@bradwhalen350]

same! took me forever because I was looking for "Kieran and jack allen"

[@katiedavis6326]

Same!

[@dimmingstar]

here to say same, because i can't like the comment as it has 69 thumbs up atm LMAO

[@15psi850]

Major David Bowie vibes. Love it.

[@RyleyAtk]

Amazing cover of one of the best (and most underrated) songs of the 80s. If this gets more people listening to The Waterboys, it'll be worth it. Love it.

[@acbetka]

astorminrainbows well said friend!

[@woodbutcher]

Word!

[@r68saga31]

The original is weaker than this one tbh ngl tbh (Waterboys are lame ngl tbh)

[@truestorybro6639]

That screaming cowboy really opened Kirin to the world. Well, sometimes you need to scream to be heard.

[@PutinsMommyNeverHuggedHim]

Wow not only good meme taste but music too

[@ronocoolo6357]

This is actually the perfect song for Kirin to cover I'm so hyped for his next album

[@campsjams]

I am obsessed with this song. I think I’ve listened to it 50 times this week.

[@judydeangelis3240]

Me too.

[@oten1582]

you still listening ? lol

[@campsjams]

@@oten1582 haha I’ve since taken a liking to the original Waterboys version but love this one just the same!

[@sarahgrosser5261]

My guts hurt from laughing. It‘s a special kind of laughter that comes from the pure joy of witnessing something so utterly perfect and iconic that the only reaction is to laugh from awe. And then something else iconic and perfect happens, and you laugh some more at the brilliance. And it just keeps going and going for seven minutes. The laughter and the awe. Kirin is my favourite. Please make more tshirts.

[@trampismat]

Such a joy to read that someone else totally gets what's going on here ... but that you can put it so succinctly is just perfect. I don't know if you are an aussie but it's like the drought has been broken at last.

[@Aenimus12]

❤ this comment

[@tyleradorno142]

The first four minutes was for casuals, the last 3 after the credits was the true Callinan experience. I have been blessed.

[@floriand2047]

Oh my god, if this guy is not the next big thing I don't know how to save humanity anymore, so good artistically, so much personality, I really love your soul Kirin, love love

[@smurfette_blues7922]

Everyone seems to reduce him to a meme :/

[@carterholsten9471]

GOOD EVENING MR CALLINAN

[@aidensnacklad4178]

I really feel the emotion in his voice.

[@CHE6yp]

It's amazing, in the worst possible way, how underrated this guy is.

[@matthewchandler2647]

I am literally stunned at how talented Kirin is. I watch his videos in awe. Not only are his songs world-class, but he is a mesmerizing performer!

[@audrasupernova]

This makes me feel warm... as if everything will be all right...

[@redricblue8790]

Everything will be alright

[@emrazum]

Kirin is the new Bowie, I'm convinced!!

[@BlackStarTelevision]

Hell Yes!

[@2hardbackrub743]

Words right out my mouth!!!

[@Umihime]

I feel he is definitely channeling Bowie. He is amazing!

[@daliinhiscoffin2493]

crazy I personally think of him as a new Prince :) his style is so personal and fresh! And I can def see the Bowie comparison too even though I never thought of it!

[@0rganfarmer]

Kirin is Kirin. He is a treasure to this planet.

[@Martin_OK]

I love what you do and who you are. Your beautiful voice sounds even better now. I am stunned and waiting for the new album.

He is magnificent!

[@1996vampireprincess]

6:07 no Callinan video is complete without this move so glad he's back... bravado is a masterpiece This is actually the perfect song for Kirin to cover I'm so hyped for his next album

[@Absintent]

Only 100 000 views in 9 months? Seriously people. I haven't heard better cover of the 80'ies classic yet. This deserves much more attention. Kirin J Callinan you are a pure aussie gold mate!

[@funnybuggers9097]

This is undoubtedly one of the most amazing masterpieces of recent times. Sheer magnificence in every second. What an artist. Thank you for the wonderful journey your art has taken me.

[@sonicboom20078]

Absolutely criminal that this only has 37k views. If the music industry wasnt so oversaturated, this guy would be hailed as the next David Bowie.

[@weihanzhang9780]

Just what the music industry needs to hail, another straight white cis-male. Pathetic!

[@oppo-tune-nitty8043]

Absolutely brilliant

[@ClarksComedy]

I love this song, I hate that this is only version on KZbin. I want one without the break in the middle.

[@justinegoff]

There's so many great 80s songs that Kirin's Bowie-esque vocals would suit. Too many to think of but Robert Hazard's original version of Girls Just Want To Have Fun that Cyndi Lauper made famous is one for sure! Worth taking a listen.

[@megladon88]

Waterboys by way of Bowie, yet making it really your own I LOVE IT!!!!! Nicely done. Great video too!

[@urdoolil5477]

Glad he's back

[@jsequine927]

What a wonderful song, can't believe I hadn't discovered it until Kirin. The original is fantastic but I love the reckless and gusto Kirin sings it with, think it's the slightly sped up tempo.

[@Backbone22]

Seen Kirin last night at Monarch Tavern in Toronto he’s awesome second time seeing him and I’d go again 🔥🔥🔥
