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.
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.
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.
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.
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.
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!
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
I am obsessed with this song. I think I’ve listened to it 50 times this week. GOOD EVENING MR CALLINAN Ladies and gentlemen, this is the greatest artist of our time.
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
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.
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!
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.
Not gonna mess about with fancy words but that was F U K N brilliant! Jimmy Fallon you fool. I'm watchin' this again & I'm buying it tomorrow when I get paid!
the moon tonight is so bright it is illuminating the night sky, very beautiful. i guess you can say i saw the whole of the moon. life is beautiful like that, lucky i was to be here to experience all of this
I hate my generation for bumping a song like "Thotiana" to the top of the charts while Callinan's songs are literally works of art. You deserve so much more recognition!
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.
Wow I can’t put into words how much I love this! Saw Holiday Sidewinder post this guy guy live on her story and just had to check it out! Amazing stuff, and check out miss Sidewider, too 🔥
Holy hell, with only 200 comments on this video i could post a comment that would garner a significant amount of approval on a song SO GOD DAMNED FANTASTIC. Love you bro, this song speaks to my heart.

Friendly reminder that Kirin is an easy contender for most consistently stunning musician currently workin
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
@@Tomfish3000 Faxx, Bravado is literally my favorite album of all time, and I listen to a lot of shit

@@rtcordes what a guy. I got a buddy who saw him recently and had an amazing time
Acclaimed Musician 99Cujo he stamped my shirt too, wish I got a photo with him
Babish brought me here!

same! took me forever because I was looking for "Kieran and jack allen"
Same!
here to say same, because i can't like the comment as it has 69 thumbs up atm LMAO
That screaming cowboy really opened Kirin to the world. Well, sometimes you need to scream to be heard.
true storybro 😂😂😂
yet another masterpiece
Wow not only good meme taste but music too
Major David Bowie vibes. Love it.

astorminrainbows well said friend!
Word!
The original is weaker than this one tbh ngl tbh (Waterboys are lame ngl tbh)

Me too.
you still listening ? lol
@@oten1582 haha I’ve since taken a liking to the original Waterboys version but love this one just the same!
Kirin is the new Bowie, I'm convinced!!
Hell Yes!
Words right out my mouth!!!
I feel he is definitely channeling Bowie. He is amazing!
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!
Kirin is Kirin. He is a treasure to this planet.
GOOD EVENING MR CALLINAN
The stage presence of prince and the voice of David Bowie 🙏🏼
Binging with Babish sent me.
This is actually the perfect song for Kirin to cover I'm so hyped for his next album
oh god I can't wait for the new album
THE new album? Is there a release date?
Yer Da may 21
@@Yer_Da_ today baby
@@meme_aids Huh? it's June 21st afaik
@@Yer_Da_ Oof. I thought it was this month.
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
Everyone seems to reduce him to a meme :/
The first four minutes was for casuals, the last 3 after the credits was the true Callinan experience. I have been blessed.
This makes me feel warm...
as if everything
will be
all right...
Everything will be alright
Listened to bravado on my way home from work today. Hop into to bed, opened my phone and was blessed with this treat.
I really feel the emotion in his voice.
Ladies and gentlemen, this is the greatest artist of our time.
I'm 59yo and I haven't been this excited about an Aussie artist ever since I discovered Skyhooks back in 1976!
He is magnificent!
so glad he's back... bravado is a masterpiece
Very Bowie sounding singing style and I love that, amazing cover
It's amazing, in the worst possible way, how underrated this guy is.
I am obsessed with this song. I think I’ve listened to it 50 times this week.
GOOD EVENING MR CALLINAN
Ladies and gentlemen, this is the greatest artist of our time.
Sounds like a Berlin era Bowie version of the song.
I listen to A LOT of music, but Bravado still remains my favorite album of all time. I really cannot wait for what you release next.
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!
6:07 no Callinan video is complete without this move

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.
for the last 3 days i can't stop listening to his songs and now he's uploading new ones. help me
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.
Just what the music industry needs to hail, another straight white cis-male. Pathetic!
@@weihanzhang9780 what in the flying fuck are you talking about lmao
He really is a triple threat sing dance and act.
david bowie covers the waterboys through the chasis of kirin callinan
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!
Saw this on Rage, immediately turned TV off and came to RUclips to watch the clip again. Very good
Probably one of my favourite songs of all time, and I absolutely adore this cover. Thank you.
He played at mac demarco in Dublin today. An absolute beautiful gem
Goddammit! I was there and must have missed him.
That must have been wild! I’ve seen Mac twice and he’s incredible. Can’t imagine him and Kirin at the same show! Wowsers!
new album is a masterpiece, thank you kirin
This really butters my cucumber
Thanks Camanin
This song got me into listening to This Is The Sea, that is literally one of the best things I've ever heard, thank you so much
Just today I was listening to Bravado entirely. I'm hyped!
Same here. When I saw this on Spotify today, I thought I somehow missed it!
It's amazing the first time
Forgot how much I like this song. Well done Kirin for giving it new life!
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.
This feels like in another universe that this would be a classic that dads would be playing in their radios
Unicorn Workhorse the original version definitely is. But that universe sounds like an awesome place.
Not gonna mess about with fancy words but that was F U K N brilliant! Jimmy Fallon you fool. I'm watchin' this again & I'm buying it tomorrow when I get paid!
Marty MacCauley Jimmy Fallon?
Loving this track, Kirin always puts me in a good mood man. His music comes from the heart
the moon tonight is so bright it is illuminating the night sky, very beautiful. i guess you can say i saw the whole of the moon. life is beautiful like that, lucky i was to be here to experience all of this
so David Bowie :) you are so talented love it so much 🧡❤💚🖤💜💙
A Rags to Riches tale, a timeless classic. Translated by the ultimate pop bohemian.
I love the song and the video. I love showing it to people who only hate him from Big Enough. He's an artist.
Here from Babish's Last Meal, of all things
What video is it?
I can't wait to crank the hell out of this song on my stereos, FUCK.
I hate my generation for bumping a song like "Thotiana" to the top of the charts while Callinan's songs are literally works of art. You deserve so much more recognition!
BUS' DOWN THOTIANA!... Don't act like Kirin is some unknown artist cause he's not.
Please do more covers of Aus songs from the 80s...
Boom Crash Opera is calling out for Kirin
Waterboys by way of Bowie, yet making it really your own I LOVE IT!!!!! Nicely done. Great video too!
Is this the best music video ever or what?
Seen Kirin last night at Monarch Tavern in Toronto he’s awesome second time seeing him and I’d go again 🔥🔥🔥
Only a 130,000 views!?
Live long and strong Mr. Callinan!
B E A U T Y A N D C L A S S
Such an amazing cover. Such a talented man.
This dude just brought me back to the 80s
Glad he's back
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.
Underrated as hell
YES.
Love this track. Sounds like Bowie did a remix
Absolutely brilliant
Dudes got that "trainspotting" aesthetic down pat
Wow I can’t put into words how much I love this! Saw Holiday Sidewinder post this guy guy live on her story and just had to check it out! Amazing stuff, and check out miss Sidewider, too 🔥
I swiped up, Alex. Thank you~
Wow bowie came back to us!
I can only think about SOPHIE listening to this song now and it kills me.
LOVE YOU KIRIN
Fantastico....Just the way it is !
He's the mortar to my bricks
Hell yes
wicked bass line.
Here from Babish 🙏
Criminally Underrated
The wickedly talented... Adele Dazheem
Great work!
God this is fantastic homage, truly beautiful
Nice nice nice nice nice🎶🎶🎶
Everything about this is so fucking beautiful
Dude the Bowie is strong in this one!
Again... brilliant
Ahhhhhhhhhhhh 🤠 brought me here💜
If I've listened it over the radio I would think that it's some of Right Said Fried's good old lyric songs that I havn't heard before.
Truly and incredibly power. I like to think this was dedicated to Malcolm McCormick.
A superb cover. Different and yet familiar.
ART
