Props to Xavier.

Mad props indeed.

This guy's lyrics are just fantastic.

Partnership
by: Xavier Rudd

you had so many opportunities
so much time, so much space, so much room to breathe
and you

so much time inside when you put it aside you waste it
so much time inside when you put it aside you waste it
you see your fortune lie you can decide to wake it
so much time inside when you put it aside you waste it

and she will come and take your hand
she will help you understand
she will help you understand
and she will lead you to your peace
in times when you feel weak
in times when you are weak
and when your space it feels deranged
she will hold the key to change
she will offer the key to change
so be sure when she whispers in your ear
that she will chase away those fears
then she will chase away those fears.

on your journey be proud of what you seek
and your love for he or she
for they will help you feel complete

Seriously, I had the hardest time picking which song I wanted to put up the lyrics to - they are all just amazing. It's not often that song lyrics can stand on their own and be just as good without the music. Not to mention this guy plays all--and I do mean all--of the instruments on his cd and in his live performances. For his shows he has this whole "one-man-band" contraption set up with something like 14 instruments (including the didgeridoo - he's from Australia, you guys). He's like this Aussie hybrid combination of Ben Harper, Jack Johnson, and Dave Matthews Band.

Awesomeness.
