This is one of my favorite songs. https://fnfgo.io
Well there's far too many questions to ask
To answer all of them tonight
For I wear, too many masks
To tell if any of them are wrong or right
And confusion casts a shadow upon me
Like a great big cloud in the sky
And now I pray for rain
'Cause it's been so long since I let myself cry
For so long, I've sang this sad ole song
And it feels like my time is up
For she came and landed in my arms
And she filled my half empty cup
Yes she filled my half empty cup
There you are
Right in front of me
A brand new day
Sunrise over sea
No longer
My cup half empty
'Cause there you are
You and your mum in front of me
In front of me
And now I look up above me
And I thank that great old God in the sky
For telling me my cup ain't half empty
I took my little girl to show me why
For so long, I've sang this sad ole song
And it feels like my time is up
For she came and landed in my arms
And she filled my half empty cup
Yes she filled my half empty cup
There you are
Right in front of me
A brand new day
Sunrise over sea
No longer
My cup half empty
'Cause there you are
You and your mum in front of me
Your peaches and cream to me
You both are peaches and cream to me
Peaches and cream to me
You and your mum in front of me
Your peaches and a cream oh
Yeah I, love you
All I know is
All I know that I
I Love you
That I love you
All I know is
All I know
And I love you
Yeah I, love you, yeah
To answer all of them tonight
For I wear, too many masks
To tell if any of them are wrong or right
And confusion casts a shadow upon me
Like a great big cloud in the sky
And now I pray for rain
'Cause it's been so long since I let myself cry
For so long, I've sang this sad ole song
And it feels like my time is up
For she came and landed in my arms
And she filled my half empty cup
Yes she filled my half empty cup
There you are
Right in front of me
A brand new day
Sunrise over sea
No longer
My cup half empty
'Cause there you are
You and your mum in front of me
In front of me
And now I look up above me
And I thank that great old God in the sky
For telling me my cup ain't half empty
I took my little girl to show me why
For so long, I've sang this sad ole song
And it feels like my time is up
For she came and landed in my arms
And she filled my half empty cup
Yes she filled my half empty cup
There you are
Right in front of me
A brand new day
Sunrise over sea
No longer
My cup half empty
'Cause there you are
You and your mum in front of me
Your peaches and cream to me
You both are peaches and cream to me
Peaches and cream to me
You and your mum in front of me
Your peaches and a cream oh
Yeah I, love you
All I know is
All I know that I
I Love you
That I love you
All I know is
All I know
And I love you
Yeah I, love you, yeah

i reckon this song is about his daughter coz in this song you can hear a little girls voice. i think this song is saying how he was sad and lonely until he had his daughter. then it says "you and your mum in front of me, peaches and cream to me" so it's defdinetly about his daughter
yea this song is about how now that he has a wife n daughter his life isnt empty .."And she filled my half empty cup" n how they mean everything 2 him
I think before johns daughter banjo was born he thought he was missing out. He regrets ever saying that his cup was half empty , because his daughter was always going to be with him and he always had danielle(his wife). I also think the three bands he has on his arm , atleast two of them represent his family. One for banjo and one for danielle
This song always gives me shiver because it is just such a beautiful and powerful song. It's just how live seems to be made whole when you have a child and they seem to be all that you may have been missing. The beauty of life.
Its strange that the album is titled "Sunrise over sea", yet this song is titled Peaches and Cream even though sunrise over sea has the most emphasis in the song
It's because the song is about his wife and daughter, who are his "peaches and cream". It's a very personal song. "Sunrise over sea" is just a phrase describing how he sees them, not what they actually are (it's not a very personal saying compared to calling them "peaches and cream"). However, "Sunrise Over Sea" is a more generally direct sounding and fitting title for an album.
I saw a video of him playing this song and he had tears in his eyes. I have never seen a musician cry while playing their own song. I respect him tremendously and wish someone would love me that much ):
I have been to see John Butler live and he states its about his "Princess and queen" those being his daugther and wife. However he now also dedicates this song to his son. Anyone oout there PLEASE the next chance you have go and see him live, i cried!! Hes amazing live the stmosphere is overwhelming! He is a one of a kind man, musician. Its as though when he talks to the audience, that you know him personally as a friend. Hes what the human race should be like. Also i was about 4 meters away from him so it was all very overwhelming! x
Yeah, when I saw them he said the song's about his wife and daughter. They closed their set with this, and broke out the bongo drum solo. It was glorious.
A great song that really hit home for me. I used to say that my destiny was to die by 30 until my child was born he saved my life and gave me a reason to appreciate the world.
I remember first hearing this song in concert in 2003 and hoped to hell he'd release it because it's meaning is so powerful. At his last Sydney concert in 2005 he played it through one microphone and got the audience to sing along with him. Nearly everyone knew and sang the words. If you haven't seen John Butler in concert, you haven't lived. It is well worth it.
