the best medicine for our souls is to look at beautiful peoples with Spirit bird on their faces.Thank You!

[fullplates]

I’ve been to a few of Xavier’s live shows. It’s healing and so good for the soul. He reminds you constantly of our connection with country (the land, water and sky) and how important it is to stay connected to each other. An important message in this time.

Hairs all over my body standing up watching this. Seeing the elderly lady at 9:05 makes you realise that Xavier speaks to all generations.

[juliettecrespon]

Happy to see that in some places, people still listen to music and don't live the moment through their phones

[rikard]

Wow, rarely have I felt vibes like this in a crowd. Lucky people who were there to take part in this sacred moment. Love to Xavier. Magical!

[Dufftata]

That fantastic woman at 5:40 is actually dancing perfectly to the lyrics, check out how she demonstrates "and in the air you breath"

[ethans]

I love rap music, reggae, drum n bass, rock, country. But since I first heard Spirt Bird it has been my most favourite song simply because of how it makes me feel. Music is life

[gina]

Aw man I have never cried so hard to a song. Literally the best most soulful song ever. Thank you for capturing the crowd. It is exactly what I would expect/want from a crowd during this magical song. I pray I can hear this song live one day.

[elisabethlecaer]

I need this heart vibe everyday for the rest of my life...

[inesschoblocher]

beautiful song beautiful people one of the best songs ever 🌻

[mariafarias]

Me encanta lo que siento cuando escucho su voz y también lo veo reflejado en los ojos de las personas que bailan su bendición.

Spirit Bird -- Lyrics


Give it time and wonder why
Do what we can laugh an we cry
And we sleep in your dust because we've seen this all before
Culture fades with tears and grace
Leaving us stunned hollow with shame
We have seen this all, seen this all before

Many tribes of a modern kind,
Doing brand new work, same spirit by side,
Joining hearts and hand and ancestral twine, ancestral twine
Many tribes of a modern kind,
Doing brand new work, same spirit by side,
Joining hearts and hand and ancestral twine, ancestral twine

Slowly it fades
Slowly we fade
Slowly you fades
Slowly you fade


Spirit bird she creaks and groans
She knows she has, seen this all before she has, seen this all before
Spirit bird she creaks and groans she knows she has,
Seen this all before she has, seen this all before she has

Slowly you fade
Slowly it fades
Slowly you fade
Slowly you fade
Slowly you fade



Soldier on soldier on my good country man
Keep fighting for your culture,
Now keep fighting for your land
I know its been thousands of years
And I feel your hurt and I know its wrong
And you feel you've been chained and broken and burned
And those beautiful old people
Those wise old souls have been ground down for far too long

By that spineless that greedy man that hearless man deceiving man
That government hand taking blood and land taking blood and land and still they can
But your dreaming and your warrior spirit lives on and it is so so so strong
In the earth in the trees in the rocks in the water
In your blood and in the air we breath
Soldier on soldier on my good country man,
Keep fighting for your children now keep fighting for your land

Slowly it fades
Slowly you fade
Slowly it fades
Slowly it fades



Give it time and we wonder why
Do what we can laugh and we cry and we sleep in your dust
because we've seen it all before


Hope it will help you crying
best wishes peace
