There are things in this life I,
Would rather not sacrifice.
You girl I could not live without,
And you know there's no doubt that
All I mind's, losing you.

And I don't mind losing sleep,
Pray the lord my soul to keep.
I'll get plenty of rest when I am dead,
But 'till then wont you share my bed 'cause
All I mind's, losing you
All I mind's, losing you.

And now that I'm losing money,
There's nothing this life owes me.
I've been giving more than I can receive, but for,
For you there is no receipt so,
All I mind's, losing you.
All I mind's, losing you...ohh...

And now that I'm growing old,
Losing teeth and growing more.
Not as handsome as I never was but,
You loved me just because.
All I mind's, losing you.

There are things in this life I,
Would rather not sacrifice.
You girl I can not live without,
And you know there's no doubt that
All I mind's, losing you.
Oh, all I mind's, losing you.
All I mind's, losing you.

Saw JBT in Newquay on Lusty Glaze Beach in August of 2015. Fantastic show! Even though by the end of it we were rain soaked and freezing...watching him play Ocean was more than worth it.

Very nice! ...strange album cover art! ...it doesn't seem to reflect the music. ...oh well. ...you don't listen to the album cover!

For those who enjoyed John Butler, if you haven't already.. give Xavier Rudd a listen.
Your welcome.

Great to hear John Butler Trio on RP.  This is a great album!  I especially like "Better Than".

A tad different from Sophie Zelmani's atmospheric "Losing You."

Love it.  How about playing "Better Than" off of Grand National?

had a similar show and encounter with them after that i will never forget.  their music speaks for itself, but their grace takes them to the top in my mind.

Saw them LIVE in Alaska at a small venue before I even knew who they were. The show was amazing & so was John & the band. Got to meet with them after & they were all so gracious & down to earth as they signed autographs, took pictures & the like. I found out later more about them and cant get enough of them now. I feel blessed to have seen them in such an intimate setting and to have met such amazing people. {#Meditate}

He was born in the US to an American mum and Australian dad. He moved to Australia when he was 10. Still has a hybrid accent.

With the song average at 6.7, you're in the majority.  Pay no mind to the tin ears below.  Great tune!

Yeah, I can totally see why you'd slam them for spelling (and not at all for expressing an anti-JBT view). That spelling couldn't possibly have anything to do with the T and Y being right next to each other on the keyboard. /*end sarcasm*/

This song's been so thoroughly flogged on RP that now I can't tell if I have a problem with the song itself or just the fact that it seems to be on here... once a day? Surely not. It definitely feels like it though. I just had a vision of a room in hell with JBT on infinite loop. *shudder*

Very much an improvement over Robert Plant & Alison Krauss - Please Read The Letter. I've no trifles against these two. I just would have expected something other.

I was also at this gig. I goto a lot of gigs and I've never heard an audience so into the music. The band did the fake encore, but if they didn't play a bit more there may have been a riot. :) Great gig. Great band. Can't wait to see them again.

I'm in full agreement with all the below comments. Great live act and excellent album! If you buy/dl an album this weekend, this should be it. One of the best releases this year.
