My wife & I used Happy Everafter In Your Eyes as our wedding song. Now we sing it as a lullabye to our son at bedtime. Definitely big fans of Mr Harper. No acoustic date here for us yet but he's being kind enough to spend independance day with us :-)

Not the best video, but you get to see a bunch of arms raised in V's. Jeremy starts around 5:35. I've been told he does this tag occasionally so there may be better videos out there from other shows.

That's where it started for me and man did i ever wear that cd out. I believe i saw this concert on some obscure channel and i was hooked from what i saw. I met BH back stage at the langerado Festival 2007, such a kool guy him and his band IC's.

I like the way he played out in the crowd, just like my friend Michael franti would do at some of his concerts.

ground on down - http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=3ycYc5Ll2No

the percussion guy is soooo funny!!

Heard this song on tour when he supported with PJ, i heard it the odd times (saw him about 8 times with PJ on that tour) and it just instantly hit me..I tried to find the best version, i've been through so many as he changes song all the time, this is the best. Couldn't wait for the studio version but it's not as good at this:

I will not be broken - http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=iK9idVFFVFA

Up to you now, one of my all time faves.

The 'yeah yeah yeah's at the start are so good! - http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=nsg00HS_1_g


His cover of 'drugs don't work' on the live from mars is fucking brilliant, the echo and his voice
