We aren't a youtube partner, no ads on our videos. Hard to get any promotion other than user discovery when you don't partner - we even have Sony trying to block our videos in some countries claiming they own the rights which is a complete joke. In that sense, we're doing pretty good thanks to everyone out there using their own minds to search out and discover what they like rather than being told what to listen too. Thanks for supporting us! We'll have a new album later in the year for you all!
I picked this as my wedding song almost three years ago, to dance with the man I married. It still brings goosebumps to my body, and tears of happiness to my eyes. My husband and I could not afford a lot at the time and were on our own for our wedding. This song, is what made our wedding day so beautiful. It is what made us connect, and be joyful. What a powerful song to say you promise to be together forever. Thank you so much for that.
He truly is a national treasure this bloke. As great a song as this one is, let's not forget how many other wonderful songs he has shared with us since the late 90s. I am so proud he is Australian. I am grateful to be part of a generation that has been able to hear, live, experience and enjoy his songwriting and music....
Hi guys, heard the song ocean for the first time (max sess.) about 2+ years ago. was bringing my 12 string back to life after a few years and typed in 12 string guitar on youtube. the ocean vid came up and my life was changed. thank you jtb. I'm 51 years old and my family thinks I'm a little crazy but they like the music too. My wife and I will be married 25 years this tues. I will dance with Donna to... I'm a fool for you... thanks, Pat
I remember taking my youth group to great America and believe you were one of the bands we seen that night, very impressed with ll the music you write and just wish to say I appreciate you and want to thank you for the hard work you do to provide us such an amazing sound to ease our souls or whatever we are going through at the time, God bless and again thank you for your hard work
This was my mum and dads weeding song they spilt up after 20 years together and 6 beautiful children they had together. this song will always be one of my favourites I still love use both so much.
This stuff is the type of music that doesnt just sound good it has meaning behind its lyrics, you can here it through how the emotion that comes through with each word and emphasis on those that matter. THIS IS REAL ART, I GIVE PROPS TO YOU FOR BEING A GENIUS IN THIS INDUSTRY!
This isn't a dream or some movie I think he's talking about his story through music. I can almost feel the sun on my back listening to this and it's cold and night time
John ,love you brother, but y can't you keep the trio going and you know what trio i talking about you guys were a unit ,but know matter what jbt forever!!!!!!!!!
Man I can replay this song over and over again , one of my favorites , also ( Losing You ) keep it up brother !!!!! Gives me goosebumps at times and touches my soul , makes me reminnence
Was randomly clicking through music videos here from Toe to The Best Pessimist, and a number of other bands and voila! stumbled upon John Butler's performance of OCEAN. Since then, no turning back. I'm a fool for John Butler Trio. Love from Malaysia =)
Nice to see artists today still making real music and thinking with their own minds. Much respect to you. If you ever come to portugal, i'll be sure to go. Wish you much luck.
I don't know what it is about this song,maybe the notes or something,it makes me cry alittle. Strange.. however THIS IS A BEAUTIFUL SONG.. PASSION, SOUL, LOVE ALL THE INSTRUMENTATION!! ONE OF MY ALL TIME FAVORITES EVER.. and the singer is hot!!
Finally something new! :) Wonderful, wonderful song, expressing pure love for your woman, family and life. Any wife would love to hear this from her husband! :D
Utterly beautiful love song and a look into a beautifully crafted life, well done on so many levels. I’m a fan of this man, his music, and the life he has created for his family.
My boyfriend introduced me to your trio, you guys are amazing So glad he looks for new music and then shows it to me, else I'd have never have heard your sound!
Jason Phipps I didn't give a "thumbs down" because you are entitled to your opinion. However, this is no where close to cheesy. Cheesy is: Mr. Big - To Be With You. This has raw emotion and the track is timeless and can be played over many, many generations. There's few songs an artist can sing that can do that. Great bands come and go, but it's the way they breath life into a song, and have you not only singing, but picturing the ride or the love. This does both. I'm going to give you a B+ because you went from cheesy to beautiful in the very next sentence. Sorry you lost points as a cheese grader. Hope your marriage is just as strong today as it was when you commented. Tonight, you play this for your wife and dance again. Oh, name your son James Aaron Phipps or John Butler Phipps, and tell him the story! Much Love Brother!
There's is someone using John Butler's image on a social site. I had no idea who John was and then this random person started talking to me using John's image. I decided to google the image this person was saying was them to find out it wasn't him at all. I was totally catfished. But I explored and found the trio and John Butler and wow can I say I'm amazed. Great music and band. Fan for life.
Thank you JBT for creating such unique, touching, and real music in the midst of all the corporate-driven creations that try to force-feed us. A fan forever! P.S. Please come do a show in Texas!!!
I am actually suprised that John Butler's videos here on YT haven't exploded that hard, i mean why not? He is a great musician and he and his band is making wonderful music - Keep on the awesome work!

Dont give up the fight

Since I started to listen John Butler, I just realised music can be the cure which humanity needs.
Sureg1005 100% agree

He is the dude that got me back into music with actual guitars. Nothing wrong with rap and techno, but who could ignore this mans raw talent!
When everything is said and done , great music is just great music . Grazie mille.
Utterly beautiful love song and a look into a beautifully crafted life, well done on so many levels. I’m a fan of this man, his music, and the life he has created for his family.
One of my favorites! Love it!
I love it when you first discover a band and you immediately love the without re-listening etc :)
The absolute standout track of the album! Simple yet eloquent, profound lyrics; dainty yet sweeping, anthemic composition. Songwriting at its best!
My boyfriend introduced me to your trio, you guys are amazing
So glad he looks for new music and then shows it to me, else I'd have never have heard your sound!
43 secs of music...
Enough for me to subscribe!
I know this comment is coming in really late, but I'm unable to find this song on Spotify. I would really like to add it to my playlist.
I Love every song. great pride comes from knowing your music can spread without the power of mass media.
keep up what you are doing John Butler!

Your music is beautiful. I play Ocean for my yoga students during savasana often.
John, you are my biggest inspiration music-wise right now.
This is such a beautiful song.

So floaty.. lovely
We played this at our wedding in Jamaica. JBT- you're amazing.
I love JBT Best band in a loooooooooong time. So much passion..
As cheesy as it is, this was my first dance with my wife. Absolutely beautiful song that will never, ever, lose its value.

I'm going to give you a B+ because you went from cheesy to beautiful in the very next sentence. Sorry you lost points as a cheese grader. Hope your marriage is just as strong today as it was when you commented. Tonight, you play this for your wife and dance again. Oh, name your son James Aaron Phipps or John Butler Phipps, and tell him the story! Much Love Brother!
They look so different than they do today. Very raw video.
