    @Vicky how many times is too many to listen LOL – I’m pretty sure this is going to be on loop for some time.

    Sooo disappointed, iphone cannot connect to internet at the moment so I have to wait Allllll day until I go home to listen to it. From your reactions ladies it must be really beautiful…

    Vicky

    • May 17, 2011 at 1:22 pm

    Can’t answer that one Maria, I’ve already lost count of the number of times I’ve listened LOL!! Definitely on loop!

    I think I’ve already mentioned this, but his voice is WHY I fell in love with this man.
    Such a beautiful voice and so full of soul AT TWENTY-FIVE! Hello?! Its just crazy.

    Was having a really lousy day this morning, but Rob’s voice always calms and touches me.

    thanks Rob, Thanks @sofarsounds, thanks @Maria.

    P.s. @Vicky, bet my play count finishes the day higher than yours ;-P

    Maria

    • May 17, 2011 at 1:47 pm

    @ephie it’s well worth the wait. Rob’s voice is beyond sexy – he’s always reminded me slightly of Eddie Vedder, but better 🙂 Sorry Eddie haha oops I just realised the irony of his name.

    Maria

    • May 17, 2011 at 1:49 pm

    LOL @Vicky & @Liz. I seriously (and you know I don’t make crap up) was listening to StrayDog this morning getting ready for work and thought – wonder if we’ll ever hear the full SOFAR performance. I swear on Rob – and you know I would never lie about that. Imagine 2 hours later it’s here.

    So now I’m just going to have to use my powers for good not evil – hmmm wonder if Rob will come back to Sydney for Breaking Dawn promotion (yeah I’m shuddering but if it works it will be worth it).

    Holy….

    *THUD*

    Vertigo

    • May 17, 2011 at 2:30 pm

    Ok so guess who also has to wait until they get home. argh!

    Vertigo

    • May 17, 2011 at 2:30 pm

    LOL Maria … and I can think of a few other things you can use your special powers for.

    *makes list*

    Carolyn

    • May 17, 2011 at 2:35 pm

    Can this man get any better? I’ve had chills and tears and tingly feelings every time Ive listened……and that picture! OMG, that picture! It’s my new favourite one of all time. It’s pure Rob.

    ephie

    • May 17, 2011 at 2:36 pm

    I know @maria, believe me I know, it’s more than worth the wait. I love his voice it’s so soulful. Oh the anticipation is KILLING ME!!!

    Hey @maria don’t be greedy!! We want him to come to Melb for BD premiere….I would not be able to afford going to Syd again in a few months’ time! But we’ll take whatever we get…

    I sympathize with you Vertigo…

    Maria

    • May 17, 2011 at 2:42 pm

    Ok @ephie melb / Syd wherever Rob is I’ll be there

    @Carolyn I just finished telling Vertigo how much I love bearded Rob and there’s not many pics of him like that that we can post – it’s my new fave as well

    Cindy

    • May 17, 2011 at 2:49 pm

    @Maria Love beared Rob too hon! And when he has a guitar a beanie and singing!!! “THUD” by about a trillion!! Lol! I love the muso in Rob as much the actor.

    Val

    • May 17, 2011 at 2:51 pm

    Thank you for this momentous post Maria! How wonderful that Rob decided to share his music with the world, and that SOFAR exists 🙂

    Now Vertigo, about that list for Maria’s powers….. he he he….

    Maria

    • May 17, 2011 at 2:52 pm

    @Cindy agree Rob is pure talent unlike the manufactured ones that we’ve been subjected to over the years.

    I know that’s why I’m drawn to him

    Cindy

    • May 17, 2011 at 2:53 pm

    @Val and Vertigo Maria has the “Elder Wand” You know! 🙂

    Val

    • May 17, 2011 at 3:05 pm

    lol @Cindy! Oh happy day this is *all smiles*

    At the risk of sounding like I’m gushing – oh wait, probably am, lol…..Maria I agree, Rob is like a raw gemstone – doesn’t need any cutting or polishing to make his talents apparent; he just Is, no affectation.

    OH GOD!!!! OH MY GOD!!!! I’m crying here like a baby, I love the way Rob sings he puts his soul into it. What an amazing gift. I have goose bumps, and I can’t stop crying. I never thought I would hear this song in it’s entirety. Honestly I had given up. Thank you so, so much Maria for posting, thank you Sofar, and Rob thank you from the bottom of my heart for being so kind and sweet and sharing your amazing talent with all of us here. We just love you more and more *can’tseewithsomuchcrying*. I better go and compose myself. Thanks again Maria you are amazing! Thank god I’m at home and not at work, becausse I still have to behave for a bit longer. Excuse me while I clean up.

    Maria

    • May 17, 2011 at 3:25 pm

    Oh @Martha I have been waiting for your reaction. He is too beautiful and I love that he is such a creative soul

    Martha M

    • May 17, 2011 at 4:04 pm

    Ok girls I’m back, and composed. About the picture, GAHHHH!!! He looks F’ing gorgeous. I have always, always loved facial hair on men I love mustaches and beards together, I’m not fond of the mustache alone, and I swear I’m not saying that just because Rob has a beard in this picture. My mom told me when I was little that a man was like a bear the more hair the sexier. She said it to me in Spanish and it rhymes in Spanish so it sounds a lot better. Maria I could never thank you enough for posting the song, and posting that gorgeous picture with it. You’re the best!!! You all are.

    Martha M

    • May 17, 2011 at 4:07 pm

    Maria he sure is, I can’t believe how this beautiful creature can make us all feel so much love for him. That only proves that we can’t all be wrong about him. He really is something special. And I’ve said it before and I’ll say it again. Thank you God for putting him on this earth at the same time you did us. You have given us such a beautiful gift in him. Thank you so much *wipestearss*, yeah still sobbing.

    OMFG…………………………………………………………………………..
    I’m shaking.
    Rob’s voice is spine chilling. It’s even better than before, if that is possible. And those beautiful fingers do magic things to that guitar – and to me.
    OMFG

    • May 17, 2011 at 6:09 pm

    @Maria, Stray dogs is one of my favorites too.
    You know I said to evreryone that of course I was only going to the prem because of the mom ie being such a spectacle and of course would never do it for BD, but if you do plan on getting that wand working again, let me know so I have time to save….

    Sigh.

    How can that voice come out of a 25 year-old? I mean really, (no offense to twenty-something’s) but ….

    Anyway I think we all know how special an unique and talented this guy really is.

    I’m still hopingnfor an independent release one day…. I’d never need to buy another cd again.

    Carmel

    • May 17, 2011 at 6:33 pm

    OMFG – I didn’t dream this. It’s still here. I don’t want to leave my PC.

    • May 17, 2011 at 7:00 pm

    OMG, OMG, OMG……….how I love to hear his voice… is heaven to me… I don’t need anything more today,,,, just to be here and play and replay…..
    THANKS Maria, for share, thanks to SOFAR, and of course thanks to Rob for this beautiful present….and THANKS GOD, for Rob… his person, his voice, his smile, his beauty ,his hotness…..and for every day we are in the same world!!!!

    • May 17, 2011 at 7:01 pm

    OMG I have goosebumps & tears in my eyes. There are no words in existence to describe how BEAUTIFUL Rob’s voice is. It just takes my breath away. SO much emotion in every word that he sings. Such a beautiful & creative soul. No one in the world like you Rob, you are one in a million. No end to your talent. I have been waiting ALL day to listen & it was torture. Going to be on constant loop now for a very very long time.

    Thank YOU Rob for allowing us to hear this most beautiful song in full. We appreciate so so much you sharing your beautiful voice with us. You are amazing!! And Sofar – thank you for respecting Rob & waiting for his approval to release this. People like you help to restore my faith in the human race. I just love love love that gorgeous pic too. Bearded Rob is too beautiful for words. Thank you of course to you too Maria for posting 😀

    OMG I can’t believe I have had to wait allllll day to hear this. There are no words to explain how amazing this is and so blessed that Rob allowed it to be released, thanks Rob its like it’s all of our birthdays! Such a rare treat. Love Sofar Sounds ethics too and it was well worth the wait.

    Thats so funny Maria I played this clip the night before his birthday and was hoping that one day we would get to hear the whole thing and here it is! Our power is freaking amazing!!!!!! So what’s next on the list for us to channel LOL

    So much talent in one person he just continues to blow me away.

    thanks Maria for ur prayers and thanks for posting it too u know what we need to make us happy all the time God bless u Maria and all of u girls

    Maria

    • May 17, 2011 at 7:57 pm

    Hahaha @lise-lou – we have to have a meeting to make sure the list is in order …

    Maria

    • May 17, 2011 at 7:59 pm

    and I can’t help but keep hearing that camera shutter at the end – please release more pictures *batseyelids* and how freakin lucky were the people who were there that night and the fact that none of them felt the need to breach any confidentiality undertaking they may have signed to not brag that they saw Rob perform. No seriously, I totally agree Michelle – the people from that night restored my faith in humanity for just a little bit. I’m sure some of them had their photo taken with Rob – but didn’t feel the need to post it all over the internet and brag for their own 15 secs of fame through him.

    You know how passionate I am about that …

    Carmel

    • May 17, 2011 at 8:14 pm

    @Maria- I hear the camera clicking and Rob saying he’d like to do another song. It is wonderful to hear him so happy and buzzed.

    Vicky

    • May 17, 2011 at 8:14 pm

    LOL Liz, you win. Damn work, how rude, they actually expected me to do something for my pay today hahaha. Doing my best to make upfor it now tough!!!

    Michelle and Maria, so perfectly put!!

    OK just came back from training and finally some time to have a say too. I listened to the performance earlier today and I know I am repeating what all of you have said, but Rob’s performance just blew me away. there were tears, goosebumps and everything else I can think off. Very, very talented man…I just wish that one day we will be able to buy his CD

    @caro, happy birthday and may all your wishes in life come true. Your tattoo sounds awesome.

    Maria
