Aber Manchmal Doch

In Berlin

This song was written for a 'Break The Rules' project at Uni.
It has no tuned instruments in it, apart from the vocals and a wine glass; all the rest is percussion created from things around the house.

Hope you like it!

You are on the thin line dividing past from the future.
Stay on - look ahead - get the balance.

La Sottile Linea - The Thin Line

This special re-recording was captured in 'The Compound', his studio in his hometown of Fremantle Western Australia in February 2012. Having performed the track to a worldwide audience over the past 12 years, 'Ocean' is today available FREE as an MP3, grab your copy here.

"OCEAN is a very interesting aspect of my life. It is part of my DNA. It conveys all things I can't put into words.
Life, loss, love, spirit. As I evolve so too does 'Ocean'. The song was first recorded as part of my first album/cassette,
"Searching For Heritage", which I sold when I busked, then for my first self-titled studio album 12 years ago -- "John Butler (1998)".
The song has been watched online incredibly over 25 million times in various formats, nearly always live, be it from MusicMax Sessions or from one of the many festivals I have had the pleasure to play. I'd like to thank you for your continued support over all these years; it means so much to me. I would like to thank you by offering this first studio recording of 'Ocean' in over a decade as a free download.
I recorded it in my favourite studio, The Compound here in Fremantle Western Australia, a studio you helped me build.
This marks just another fleeting moment in a career that is very much ongoing.
I look forward to bringing you many new songs and albums into the future and continuing this amazing journey with you ALL.
THANK YOU,
J.B"

Ocean (2012)

Born in 1989, I grew up in a small city near to Augsburg, Germany. For the first 15 years of my life, music didn't play a big role except for what was coming from the kitchen radio. Things changed rapidly when I got injured and was not able to do sports - "my" thing during this time - for a long time. So I borrowed a guitar from a neighbour, took some lessons and started listening to what should become my musical influences. Spending hours and hours trying to learn the intro to "Under the bridge" in front of the TV, I got more and more addicted to my guitar.

First thing that really blew my mind was "Reptile" by The Strokes. I've been listening to these two guitars playing this great stuff certainly for more than a billion times.
At the age of 17 I got into my first band, stayed there for 3 years and after finishing school I got to a point where music had become a very important part of my life. So I decided to go to school once more and spend one year in Augsburg doing a diploma course in electric guitar in in order to improve my skills. After finishing the diploma with 1.42 (which does not say anything, but sometimes numbers can be impressive) I decided to study physics in Erlangen for reasons that I forgot during the past 3 years.
During the firs two years I played guitar in a musical and started to sing in another band.

In August 2011 brought me to the place where I finally convinced myself to pull away from physics and search a career in what they call the music business: Portugal. I started to sing and play alone in the streets of Porto, in front of the bars in Coimbra and in the bars of Lisbon. It's not that I haven't been writing songs before, but staying in Portugal made me begin to write more stuff than ever before. After 6 exciting months under the portuguese sun I came back to Germany, finished my course and physics and in Oct. 2012 I moved to the city I thought would give me the best chances to improve my musical skills: London.

Now I am in the heart of the UK and the heart of the music business and I am trying my luck as a singer/songwriter. Stay tuned for more to come! TT
