Seek High: John Butler & Jeff Lang at TEDxSydney

[@yoshaki]

This song helped me get through some tough times years ago. I hope she don't end on that road again.

[@guillaumejbt5946]

This duo is just beautiful !

[@TheJukka96]

I heard this years ago somehow. I still come back to this. Definitely one of my favourite songs, the intro speech is hilarious 😂 I love this, now and forever.

[@MrLash1971]

They definitely need to do an album together.

[@rocoe9019]

Still waiting!!! If ever two artists needed to do an album together t'is these guys,! We need and want it

[@nadirchaudhry]

[@kenjarby]

Can't believe I've just heard this for the first time on Double J, Henry Wagons' Tower of Song. Great tune, how does John make the banjo sound so relevant in this day and age?

[@ferguson1ism]

[@ronk1970]

Lovely 😎

[@freebyrdwins]

I've always wanted a lyrics transcription for this song...

[@sissi1287]

Never stay in one place too long Never say your name out loud See, I own this country by night By day I stay underground Throw a dart towards the map Don't get familiar with the local crowd Take a room and pay in cash And dim the lights, draw the blinds and kill the sound It's flooding in the northern states I left while their heads were turned I make it my quick escape * Cause if there's something I have learned: Seek high, don't look so low Tell em you Seek high, don't look so low Tell em you Seek high, don't look so low It's a dead end road 'round here nothing but dead end roads Don't let this goddamn wind Blow up more than dirt around Roll call of faces through my mind All gone with the sound turned down She was hitching down the coast I was driving on a sleepless night Was was she on that lonely road Sleepin rough and travelling light Seek high, don't look so low Seek high, don't look so low Tell em you Seek high, don't look so low Dead end roads round here Dead end roads [gorgeous interlude] Seek high, don't look so low Seek high, don't look so low Seek high, don't look so low It's a dead end road round here Dead end road Dead end road It's a dead end road. * this one I just cannot figure out. I'm not a native speaker, so if someone knows what he sings here, please do correct this!

[@TheFuriousShovel]

Do they have any albums released together or anything? I'd like to have some of that...

[@ONdorch]

Anyone know what jeff lang has tuned to on this?

[@jamesrobertson9281]

The songs in G so I'm guessing he's tuned to an open G. Not sure what fret he has the capo on .. looks like the 5th fret I think.

[@sideswipkicker5407]

Can this be a single. With the singing into your chin part too

[@minip137]

where can i buy a cd from john? i dont want no downloads!

[@3Hilikus]

He's all over man. A quick internet look and you'll find whatever you want. I suggest you start from his beginning. His self-titled album John Butler. Then just follow his discography from there. Enjoy that journey my friend! We are all bound to ramble!

[@kessa56]

Scott Hamilton the beginning is actually his cassette set of songs called 'searching for heritage' from 1996 look it up its awesome all instrumental

[@sideswipkicker5407]

Is this on an album?

[@00000JESTER00000]

absolutely amazing, ha was that a Maori word he dropped there?(Kaka)
