**01/05/08 The full video has just been released and I love it - It is extremely inspirational.
Shhhh don't tell anyone, but I tear up when I watch it.
Already The GetUp Mob's "From little
things, big things grow" has featured in over 80 newspaper articles and is
getting airplay on stations nationwide. But
to inspire real change our song needs to reach an audience of millions and
echoes in every corner of the country.
All proceeds go to achieving Indigenous equality:

Song featuring Paul Kelly, Kev Carmody, Urthboy, Missy Higgins, Mia Dyson, Radical Son, Jane Tyrell, Dan Sultan, Joel Wenitong and Ozi Batla.
Purchasing this track will
cost $1.69 but we encourage you to donate as much as you feel appropriate.
All profits will go to GetUp's Reconciliation Fund and the following charity
organisations:
- Link Up - assisting Indigenous people who have been fostered, adopted or raised in institutions to find their way home.
- Mums and Bubs Program in Townsville.
- Australian Indigenous Mentoring Experience (AIME)
By buying this song, you'll not only be part
of a movement harnessing the goodwill that came out of the apology, you'll also
be part of the national conversation on reconciliation.
Next Tuesday night we're taking that conversation into pubs, cafes and homes around the nation, Australians are gathering across the country to build a united country from the grassroots up.
We're inviting all Australians: Aboriginal, Torres Strait Islander and non-Indigenous, to have a yarn about reconciliation on the evening of April 29th - click here to join a 'Reconciliation GetTogether' taking place in your postcode, and begin to build a bridge of understanding.

A day of Aussie pride tomorrow too, ANZAC Day.
Is ANZAC Day a big occasion in NZ, like it is here?
Hey...
You know MY songs kinda work like that TOO!
-Please come see what I'VE been up to lately!!!!
I haven't been around here much lately. I have got a note to say I need to come and visit you :)
No rush. -I just didn't want you to think I'd vanished, or anything.
;-)
I don't know...
-Some dream that I'd just "go away", but I will not.
-Just wanted to let you know!
Enjoy my songs, ok?
