Taken from his platinum album 'Where We Land', it has been chosen as the theme song for the new TV series 'Saving Kids', which he also hosts. Check out the promotional video right here which was filmed on set at Randwick Children's Hospital featuring Damien and many of his co-stars.

Thanks so much for posting that Roxy. Oh it's just beautiful. How touching. I had tears streaming down my face too - took me right back to when my son was in hospital so often as a little tacker.
I can't wait to see the series - but I'll definitely need a tissue box lol.
Damien really is uplifting though - it's beautifully done and don't the kids and adults all look so happy listening to Damien's beautiful voice!

What a fabulous video. I felt extremely proud watching it.
Well done Damien and everyone involved with it.
The producers of the show have said that there won't be any bad stuff (outcomes) shown.

I was just thrilled to see this video, we've all been looking forward to it so much! Not Just for the Weekend has been my fav song from the album for a while now, and I've hoped it would be released on it's own, it really showcases Damien's particular way of songwriting apart from being just gorgeous in itself and I hope for those who aren't as familiar with his music as us, it will create even more interest in his album. The video is just beautiful! One of the loveliest I have seen, and I also loved the fact that the whole tour band (except Darren, sadly) was in it and giving the kids a show. I loved seeing the effect a special day like that was having on the kids in the video, their little faces were showing such happiness in the audience, a real break for them from the reality of their routine in the hospital. I found it so hopeful, Damien's gentle songs have such a strength underlying them too. Even though it's a lilting lullaby almost, it also reaffirms the strength and commitment of a parent saying "I'll take you home" and look after you. Just perfect for the show!! The video is also giving us an idea of how perfect a choice Damien is for the show, he has such empathy with the kids, such a lovely presence with them. I loved seeing the little girls in that crowd bouncing along to the song with balloons and smiles on their face - it looked like a junior swoon city front row  Totally love the video - can't wait for it to be widely shown on tv! |

Lovely to log on today and see this update. Thanks for that, Roxy, I *cough*don't check out the official site regularly enough *cough*
I hope this means Channel 10 will start playing this whole video (nb the whole song!) during prime time between TV shows as a promo for the series ?
I have made some caps in the Photos section.
