He's a ridiculous jazz pianist. Seriously. Came here from his work with Knower.

[@gtmumma]

🤣🤣 ya know his name is Rae Thistlewaite ay ?

[@JakeyD_YT]

Can't believe one of my favourite songs isn't a world wide hit, I would have expected about 20 million views for this, guess it's hard for us Aussies to go viral.

[@MegaLol232]

Ehrm, ehrm, Sia Furler and Lorde...

[@el4766]

+The Darkest Suns Lorde is from New Zealand....

[@angelmishell]

I listen this in Mexico, love Aussie songs!!

[@joshowens2062]

All you need nowadays is a viral TikTok video with this playing and she’s a banger all over again

[@YeahIDontKn0wEither]

I'm Australian too, and I agree with you because here, trying to make your song a worldwide hit is like spinning a slot machine

[@sebbe91]

rofl!

Aarcvard Kray because all the people who listen to this song found out you can download music

[@judethompson5209]

I know huh

[@URBEX_KING]

I strongly agree here

[@rileyjones3703]

Well for one I can think that tops it, people don't appreciate true music and bands like Thirsty Merc. Really speaks to the heart lyrically speaking. Love truly does hurt.

[@pramofficialchannel]

I first heard this song on the radio when I was still studying at Flinders University and lived in a Franklin apartment Adelaide. At the end of 2007 I returned to Indonesia, and until now this song always reminds me of the good times in Adelaide. hope someday will come back

[@Angus220b]

wow supprised about the little amount of view, i thought this was a massive hit i remember hearing it on the radio and seeing it on rage all the time when i was like 10

[@TassieLorenzo]

It was a "hit" before KZbin was popular.

[@ogb2391]

Angus220b remembered this song from my childhood. Decided to find it and definitely do not regret my decision!

[@sickbars4lyfe900]

Australian music is a hit and a miss over seas

[@brianeast142]

How good is this song, written, played and sung by the band unlike many other of todays so called Artists. Very Very Underated band ill give you 20 good reasons why you should follow Thirsty Merc and this is at number 1

+Brian East yes man! i've been telling everyone for ages these guys were the best!

[@theheadoftable-respect4139]

You know I love Thirsty Merc, one Australia’s best rock bands. At the time of this song/music clip 14 years ago, I was angry and sad as it perfectly nailed the heartbreak I was going through and the heartbreak of my ex, looking back I love this song, but the clip always reminds me of the pain, pain I feel I’ll never be able to fix 💔

[@stevencoe16]

This song was belted out by myself and the lads last night as we brought in the new year and were sitting around at about 3.30am..... It was pure bliss

[@kahle3515]

Moments like those is what life is about. Singing songs with your mates, not caring about anything or anyone else.

Was also there, top night & a great start to a fantastic 2023

[@laurengreenall8656]

Does Carey still play the guitar?

[@paigeverrall7962]

this song has the meaning of love and loss. My thoughts go out to anybody who watches this that has lost somebody that means a lot to them :'(

[@TheRoogarooga]

Dear rai, 7 or so years ago you played at a free concert for youth day in sydney. I was about 8 at the time and my sister and I snuck into the mosh pit. I remember hearing your song and falling absolutely in love with it. I spent the next few months listening to the radio and watching video hits just waiting for THIS song. Before that I never really bothered to listen to music. And because of you, i discovered the love of music :) i doubt you'll get this message, but thank you so damn much xP

[@FufflePuff]

It's called thirsty merc because they used to drive around in a Mercedes ( or however you spell it) and it used alot of fuel

[@bonniherself]

We saw them live a few days ago and not only do they put on a really good show, this song has been stuck in my head ever since. I'm not complaining.

Hello from 2022

[@HenriHattar]

The WORDS.....the WORDS, who has a heart> Who cannot hear the WORDS and not feel their pulse race and their heart go zing, this is a once in a lifetime song with the most brlliant words, as many have said..."why was this NOT a worldwide hit?" it seems so unreasonable that it was not.

Man i lost this song for like 8 years, finally found it again hahaha so stoked

I'm going to see them next Wednesday for the first time. Their songs have always made me happy. I'm looking forward to it!!

[@heidiheisele8608]

Very underrated band, saw Rai perform last week with The Carprettos - it was one of the best concerts I've ever watched next to Lady Gaga and now I cannot chose which I liked better 🤣❤️

[@minusjupiter]

Thirsty Merc are honestly so good. So funny I was so young listening to this music and now I’m 27 and think the lead singer is hot and not old. Woop woop relove for this song in more ways than one 😉
