The 18 year old has been sweeping Australia off its feet with his silky tones and heart-warming vocals. From his rendition of “Unchained Melody”, to Elvis Presley’s “Can’t Help Falling In Love” to his own original single, “More Than A Dream; Harrison has been setting the charts alight.
Born in Victoria, Harrison has had to overcome challenges that would stop many people in their tracks, but growing up without his father, and becoming the man of the house at a young age has in his words, ‘made me the person I am today, and I am grateful for that – thank you’.
On top of rising above family responsibilities, Harrison has had to deal with a severe stutter, which he has had ever since he began talking. This courageous artist began to feel peace in his singing when he realized he could sing without stuttering. Singing has always been place of contentment for Harrison, and it’s no wonder he dedicated himself to crafting and developing his now unique and incredible voice.
In true testament to his character, his defining quote from the show was related to his discussion with Seal regarding his original song, ‘More than a dream’. Harrison said, ‘No matter whether you grew up without a father, you were bullied at school, or you can’t speak, you never stop’.
Harrison’s vocal development began when he joined the Victorian Boys Choir in 2005, and with the help of his private singing teacher David Jaanz, he continued to refine his vocal ability until he was ready to debut it for the world in 2013 on The Voice Australia.
Of his experience on The Voice and the future, Harrison said, ‘I feel like I am coming home. It’s going to be amazing’.
Unconditional
Harrison Craig Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
Not in words, no I really mean it
Let the whole damn world declare war on me
Just for standing by your side
It’s truly, you was the one way I survive
I’ll gladly I mean it
Chorus:
Unconditioned, unconditional love
And I would do anything for you
I’m talking Unconditioned, unconditional love
And I would do anything for you
(For you, for you, for you)
Not words, let my actions speak
(Anything for you, for you, for you)
Let the sun decide that it won’t shine until, I say that we are through
I would live my life in darkness just for you
I swear it’s true, I mean it
Chorus:
I would do anything for you
Unconditioned-unconditional love
Oh oh
I would do anything for you
I’m talking Unconditioned-unconditional love
Unconditional love
I’m talking Unconditioned, Unconditioned
Oh love
I’m talking Unconditioned, Unconditioned
I don’t care about what’s Wopular
I don’t hear a word they say
What I know is that it’s you and me until both of our dying day
Uuuh, oh, oh, oh
Hey, hey
Chorus:
I would do anything for you
Unconditioned-unconditional love
Oh uuah
I would do anything for you baby
Unconditioned-unconditional love
Oh oh
Unconditional, Unconditional
Unconditional, Unconditional
Unconditional, love

The singer goes on to state that standing by the side of his beloved is worth contending against the whole world.
The chorus of the song reinforces the singer's pledge of unconditional love. The repetition of the phrase "I would do anything for you" serves as a reminder of the song's fundamental message.

This song just strikes a deep chord with me. Harrison Craig is an awesome singer and song-writer. His journey was just amazing to follow (and will still continue to be) but this song. Heck, it describes my exact feelings for a special someone in my life...even if she doesn't have the same feelings for me...
