Ship Song and the Sydney Opera House

edited September 2011 in All Encompassing Trip
I spent the day at Sydney Opera House for uni today and it was majestic... After 25 years of living in Sydney, this was the first time I have been there.. and if you get the opportunity to go... do it... On a day where the sky was bright blue and the sun was nice and warm 24 degrees, a perfect Sydney day...



I saw this sign 'Ship Song Project' everywhere.. and of course the Nick Cave song and one that EV covers... I had it in my head all day so I youtubed this and it is a compilation of famous people (including Neil Finn, Daniel Johns from Silverchair) singing this song in their own unique way.

I hope you enjoy it and maybe plan a visit one day...

    To top the day off... some homeless man with birds on his head and some rude homeless lady who I wouldn't say was begging, rather demanding had a dog in pram... hehe.. I didn't give her any... but I gave some Aboriginal people who were playing some funky tunes some... and bought some stuff off them too...

    Wow :shock: that was really beautiful. Thank you for sharing it. I'm not familiar with many of those artists; could you name them for me in order please? The overhead and long-shots at the end were absolutely spectacular as well.

    i've only watched half the Vid but i don't think that is the right order, cause i saw martha wainwright but i didnt see angus and julia stone so i assume they come later after martha.

    but like i said, i only watched half the vid. and i skipped some bits. so don't even listen to me.


    i just ain't a nick cave fan.
