Bulgarian here. John has bulgarian origin through his ancestors. He went dighing and researching his family history and came to BG. His trip and the things he learned about the bulgarians and the April Uprising which happened in Bulgaria in 1876 served as the inspiration for the album. The bulgarian coat of arms since the medieval times has always incorporated lions. Suh was the flag for the April Uprising as well and such is the album cover as well as the model of letters for the album title who are made in the exact old bulgarian-cyrillic-like style. Stand vigilant and defend your rights and freedoms no matter who or how big or small you are! This is what makes the bulgarian 19th century and Englightment period so akeen to the US one or the one in the English-speak countries - the desire for freedom, justice and fairness. To each his own!
@dimsim34 Australia is giving away future resources to companies like Woodside which are majority owned by international investors. The resources they remove from Australia get shipped overseas before we see a fraction of the profits which Governments then waste in various ways. China is stockpiling resources because they know when the paper money system collapse, countries holding lots of cash and nothing but big holes in the ground will be easy to control. Australia is being cleaned out.
Australia is being sold to the chinese now. You must fight your freedom back otherwise you're going to be like all those chinese people in china in communist regime
JB is the one of our most talented musicians of our time. He doesn't surcome to anyone or anything and writes absolutly beautiful music. AUSSIE music at it's best!!!!!
John ....your song Revolution couldn't be more relivant than to what is happening before us now....and may be the only way globally that will save us all and our children.
I need to remind myself to watch this clip every day. It is pure art. It gives me goosebumps. But most importantly it reminds me to be positive, don't sweat the small stuff, love all of humankind no matter what their culture. John Butler and his music has always kept me grounded. This song gives us perspective. What a beautiful song.
@dimsim34 Australia requires $1 billion dollars a DAY to simply stay above it's debt obligations so $1.8 billion isn't even 48 hours of operating this country. The resources aren't going anywhere, they shouldn't be given away to international money when we're entering a currency crisis that's going to make paper money worthless and resources king. We should be taking time to remove these resources with care to all concerned, charging a lot more for them &/or keeping them for future planning
i was very lucky 2 meet john butler, im from Ireland and i was touring around oz, and i bumped into him in a little book shop in Perth, i had my guitar with me and he sined it for me, he is a true gent and his music is amazing, as he said 2 me, spread the love and save the world :-) legend!!
seen them for the first time live at All Good 2011, and majorly impressed, they are quite and amazing trio much love & love the positive messages!viva revolution!
John Butler never fails to inspire me. For years I thought I was the only one who played my acoustic through effects pedals to achieve a different dynamic. I'm glad I found his music.
The Pop-Culture marketing machine is strong, and John Butler has no interest in buying into the celebrity club; he has so much more sincerity than that. People don't always know why they like the music they are fed by the machine, but they know why they like John Butler Trio; because there is a real depth here, a real connection to humanity, a real musician, and real proof of greatness.
Sure he sings and believes. What is the actual difference has he or the majority of virtual and virtue signaling of fans made? I ask as a person who is tired of song and Dance but wants The Revolution +! Ps I am not talking about what the elites and capitalist controllers promote with sexual, racial and gender war and differences but the oppression and slavery of honest hard working families, women , men and thier children by the banksters and the associated offshoots.
Just...WOW. This is my favourite song off April Uprising and the video did justice to the song. I love how the video was in black and white. From the shots and the faces of the people, they evoked deep and meaningful emotions. Loved this.
@paintedmind Why think you have all the answers when commenting on RUclips? Show us your efforts and prove your results. Know where JB is right now? Up in North WA near the Kimberleys with the protests against the Gas Hub. Where are you? At home slagging people on youtube. PERSPECTIVE, get some.
I just saw these guys in Charlotte NC, what a great band, I was amazed throughout the night that only three guys were making that sound... And I have been to a TON of shows... Rock on JBT
Im gonna re-watch this untill it reach 1 mil i dont care how much its gonna take! I swear to god Im gonna do it! this kind of music deserve more than just this!
Simply put: This is music in its purest form. John makes music the way it should be..."the way he hears it." Not what the record companies tell him, not because of what he looks like, not because of what trends might be "hot". His music comes from the soul...not some machine (autotune).
I could dance to this all night, his words move my body to sway and rock, and the motivation moves my feet to want to act. Seeing the faces and knowing our struggle, makes me dance to change ! Damn John Butler is awesome!
The first JBT song I've actually really enjoyed. Zebra and his stuff from a few years ago were just simple alternative pop songs. This one is really different, fantastic how he actually has a great new dimension to him where he is creating his own sound finally!
JBT are amazing! I have been listening to their music for a couple of years and it never gets old. It's amazing what they stand up for. I wish more people could recognize these guys because they have a lot of great tunes. I saw them in Toronto and the Sound Academy and when they return again I will be there! Keep fighting! And get back to the Toronto area again soon!!!
I have already 'liked' this and added it to my Favourites... but I feel that's not enough! I must wait until I'm alone in the house and play it endlessly...
looking forward to seeing these guys in a week up in Boston. i've been a fan since i first heard em in 04. really looking forward to the show. love the new album. ☮
I'll say it again... Simply put: This is music in its purest form. John makes music the way it should be..."the way he hears it." Not what the record companies tell him, not because of what he looks like, not because of what trends might be "hot". His music comes from the soul...not some machine (autotune).
Powerful song. Very powerful. I am a 45 yr old single father of 4, as to some, demographics matter. This song echos my feelings of amazement as I watch as our world goes down the tubes. So many in power making decisions based on what will KEEP them and whatever party they belong to in power. Meanwhile there are so many wrongs happening all at once in so many places that we DO have the power to fix, yet those in power ignore them because those voting blocks do not further thier selfish ends. I t
"Venha! Meu coração está com pressa Quando a esperança está dispersa Só a verdade me liberta Chega de maldade e ilusão Venha! O amor tem sempre a porta aberta E vem chegando a primavera Nosso futuro recomeça Venha! Que o que vem é Perfeição" Revolução!
I really like this song and video. I saw it on a music channel. Usually I don't watch music videos but this caught my attention... I watched to the end :)
JBT reminds me that there actually are people out there that give a damn about more than money and boyfriends and drama. They help keep me hopeful that humans will change. As long as there are people like this, and people who believe in his message...there will be hope for positive change.
@jbtdotcom All protesters are individuals just as all miners are individuals - they all have their own reason and purpose. You can take the opposite side of the protester and compare their lifestyle and make collective assumptions about them too, these aren't developed arguments. Anyone acting in violence or destruction isn't moving forward, whether that's from hardcode protesters or the suit ordering the bulldozer in a badly developed shareholder focused operation. Everything is a duality.
There are loads of songs that layer different guitars. In fact, pretty much every song that involves some guitar has layering. Even songs that have pure electric guitar sounds will layer acoustic or clean sounds behind them, just to improve feel and tone
Oh Yeah!.... What a song, a universe in 4 minutes !! And the video..... Ordinary people being extraordinary! In the end..... the sameness. They were themselves. Proud!!
I saw you Interview on One Plus One - You are amazing creature for Australia mate! - BIG ASSET for this country where this country urgently need such honest, visionar, productive person who not belong to giant miner company kiss ass-er as we knew the most. Please keep productive as you one of the most valuable contributor in many sense - I'll support and follow you mate!!
This song should be hitting the millions. Great song with a powerful message meanwhile Katy perry's single Dark Horse has already hit 50m hits in the space of 7 days. Sad days.
@dimsim34 Who's moving backwards? All states will be asking for funding, you don't realise what's coming to Australia. We have resources that are future bank, they will be more valuable the longer we can hold them. The longer we can hold them the smarter we can be in developing them. Policital life is 3-4 years and they rush, they pander to the wrong end of town. A few mining jobs today won't make things cheaper in 10 years when we're buying these resources back with a diminished currency.
Everytime I have a negative attitude about the world and think there is no hope for minorities to make a change i listen to this song and i am filled with the energy to carry on fighting for what i believe in!
Since the release of April Uprising this song has been playing on my stereo almost constantly. I was sad to see that the radio release was chopped down removing some of the beautiful vibe. It's great to hear a song with such emotion in these current days. It's a shame to see people squabbling down in the comments below me. This is a song about discarding hatred and such bitterness. I must say though CD version much better than the radio version, sucks this had to be cut short.
Sometimes we just need a moment of clarity to realize we could use some help becoming a better person; we might take a step back and look at what matters. I think JBT have that sort of message in their music.
It's 2020, and it's the first time I'm even discovering John Butler Trio. I feel like I have to truly savor this moment, you know>?
I grew up listening to JBT on the radio but lately rediscovered them and tbh never really appreciated them for how good they truly are.

Very cool to know, I’ve seen them live and this was one of my favorite songs by them - they are amazing live btw.
This song is timeless. Comments from 9 years ago with more new ones every day. Too good.

Song will forever be immortalized as catalyzing the greatest awakening movement in human history. Thank you

Empire Music Promotions Music PR absolutely right, I can't even listen to the radio anymore
Thats why even tho jbt is platinum more than once they still wont get radio play. Fuck the machined

been listening to John and lads for over 10 years now. knew no matter where they're heard, they're loved
Just...WOW. This is my favourite song off April Uprising and the video did justice to the song. I love how the video was in black and white. From the shots and the faces of the people, they evoked deep and meaningful emotions. Loved this.
2024, still feeling this song into the deepest part of my heart ❤
Likewise my friend, stand strong in ❤️

How fitting this message is for the present times we are living in now, just amazing. And this song is 10yrs old- off his album April Uprising.
😊 Love this Song So much..Well done.⭐🎖️✨📻🌻🙏👍😎
Love it.....how proud I am to be in love with the music and imagery of this great talent.....thank you JBT......
I just saw these guys in Charlotte NC, what a great band, I was amazed throughout the night that only three guys were making that sound... And I have been to a TON of shows... Rock on JBT
Im gonna re-watch this untill it reach 1 mil i dont care how much its gonna take! I swear to god Im gonna do it! this kind of music deserve more than just this!
John Butler is, has, and will forever be one of the finest musicians and artists to grace my ear drums.

Best part of living in oz for 3 years was finding JBT. This song gets me up in the morning and puts me to sleep at night
I get chills and almost tear up as soon as it starts. "Messin wit something that they can't control"
Completely amazing. To me, it shows the beauty within everyone, no matter who they are.
I'm here my heart hurts and struggling. Brightest blessings my friends
The first JBT song I've actually really enjoyed. Zebra and his stuff from a few years ago were just simple alternative pop songs. This one is really different, fantastic how he actually has a great new dimension to him where he is creating his own sound finally!
this song brought hopeful tears in my eyes ...that more and more i see hope in people..consciousness is answer...
JBT are amazing! I have been listening to their music for a couple of years and it never gets old. It's amazing what they stand up for. I wish more people could recognize these guys because they have a lot of great tunes. I saw them in Toronto and the Sound Academy and when they return again I will be there! Keep fighting! And get back to the Toronto area again soon!!!
I can't believe this clip hasn't had millions of hits. It's fantastic!!
I have already 'liked' this and added it to my Favourites... but I feel that's not enough! I must wait until I'm alone in the house and play it endlessly...
The guy krumping makes me cry. So powerful.
2020 and this song is so absolutely relevant today
I completely forgot this song till it came up in my recommendations, one of my favorite songs back in the day
💯!!
looking forward to seeing these guys in a week up in Boston. i've been a fan since i first heard em in 04. really looking forward to the show. love the new album.
☮
saw this song at red rocks last night. purely amazing. he did a solo performance by looping his voice as harmonics.
this song builds so well. its incredibly powerful.
no other song gives me the same feeling this one does. breathtaking
JBT have such awesome lyrics. It feels like every song they're singing, they're singing it to me alone.
Your music us truly amazing, I am able to connect deeply with it. Thank you guys for continuing to share your talents 💜
I'll say it again...

I just discovered this band yesterday...love them!
"Venha!
Meu coração está com pressa
Quando a esperança está dispersa
Só a verdade me liberta
Chega de maldade e ilusão
Venha!
O amor tem sempre a porta aberta
E vem chegando a primavera
Nosso futuro recomeça
Venha!
Que o que vem é Perfeição"
Revolução!
Legião
BR \o/
how has this band not made it big in America??!!! Fantastic!!!
JBT all day. if he was on the radio here in america for a week, people here would be obsessed too
How perfect this song col***
Wow. Such a brilliantly crafted song. Can't stop listening to it.

it has a positive message, positive vibe, it's pure art
Thank you for simply existing. Your music brings so much light to my life. :)
this is seriously one of my favorite songs and videos ever.
Just come across this. Brilliant!!
@Eschelonistic brings a tear to my eye too..prob the most moving JBT song I've heard in a long time.
Such a powerful and relevant song, JBT are the best Aussie band
Yes mate dead right I'd be jealous as a kiwi but this man's work is far too noble for such thoughts. Majestic, world changing art.
I really like this song and video. I saw it on a music channel. Usually I don't watch music videos but this caught my attention... I watched to the end :)
Such a good song! They're music is so great.. right from the heart!
Amazing lyrics and music - love the chorus!

Still feel it just like ten years ago and it's just true music that's the realest cause it real
It's god Ghandi, big earings, and old man, a man playing with his hands, funky dancing and John Butler. It's got Everything.
perfeeeeito o som de vcs.. adoro demais

"I got my brothers, they are fighting those wars. Fighting over scraps and there scraping their souls" Gives me chills every time.
going to see them this thursday in the manchester arena!! cannot wait to see these guys in the flesh!!

i dont no why but everytime i see this clip i feel like crying
It's probably because I'm pregnant but this made me cry. What a beautiful video!
Way to capture the frustration of the populace so perfectly. Keep up the great work, JBT.
Great song and band
This song should be hitting the millions. Great song with a powerful message meanwhile Katy perry's single Dark Horse has already hit 50m hits in the space of 7 days. Sad days.
Sad days when people rely on "clicks/views & "likes"...
SuperHarhoura I see it now has :)
SuperHarhoura The hits here have a tad more substance. IMHO :)
real music is lost these days
you mean comunication?
Awesome video, and the awesome of awesome is that i'm gonna see him live today here in Rio de Janeiro! YEAAAHH

Going to see him in Charlotte in 2 weeks, Pretty excited!!
This song gives me chills all over
Everytime I have a negative attitude about the world and think there is no hope for minorities to make a change i listen to this song and i am filled with the energy to carry on fighting for what i believe in!
definitely in accordance with the times. Beautiful.
simple, but awesome^^
i already though there wouldn´t be another video after "one way road" ^^
but I´m happy I waited, this is awesome^^
So keen on seeing this guy in 2 months, holy eff!
cant stop listening to this love bless
Cant believe this song doesn't have like 500,000,000 views AT LEAST.
I love this song! So powerful!! Thank you!!

Video and song are full of soul. Simply wonderful.
Beautiful exaltation of humankind. We look too little to men in his variety
I just red the lyrics in the discription!! omg this is more awesome than ever!
John is a genius, changed my entire outlook on music and life.
Amazing video, amazing song, and amazing band.
Sometimes we just need a moment of clarity to realize we could use some help becoming a better person; we might take a step back and look at what matters. I think JBT have that sort of message in their music.
The use of the ebow in this song is almost surreal. It's amazing.
perfeeeito o som desses caras, essa musica apavora
We like studied this song for our poetry unit in class was the best
