Archie Roach - From Paradise (Official Music Video)

[@thangamrajini8478]

I think the most powerful part of this song is that he’s singing about his own wife Auntie Ruby who appears later in the video. He’s telling not only her life story, but also their love story from when they met as homeless children to the beautiful adults they grew up to be.

[@eileencollins2536]

Every Australian needs to hear these songs.... we need to feel the truth of the lyrics, the pain of the truth I'm sorry for what the government of Australia did to the original, the First Australians 😔

Got to meet him in 1996 and listen to him and his wife sing to six of us. Amazing experience loved him ever since. He is a hero to all the First Nations People and a lot of white people like myself

'Rare, almost unheard of, are the stories of Aboriginal men as sensitive, soft, loving and vulnerable people. Yet it is these qualities my research has revealed are most valued by our people. The notion of “Emu Men” has emerged throughout my PhD. Male emus are the primary carer for their chicks. The male partner will sit on the nest and the father rears the babies. This notion of manhood and fatherhood - someone dedicated to his family, who has a primary responsibility to ensure the safety of his children and their passage through the world - appears to be deeply entwined in many of our peoples’ customs and cultures. In Uncle Archie, we find the most profound sense of this alternate masculinity. His songs will live on forever. But he also gifted us this alternate image of an Aboriginal man: someone soft, tender, loving, vulnerable, generous, resilient. Someone profoundly strong and with an inner wisdom, who sat on his nest and looked after his family and young people experiencing hardship.' - Bhiamie Williamson

My grandmother’s favourite song. She passed now. She grew me up and I miss her so much. If I could I’d take my life to replace it with hers to bring her back to our beautiful Kimberley family. She help the family strong all throughout my childhood and teens. So did my grandfather 😢😢😢😢 life sucks. I’ll be a broken man for the rest of my life 😢😢😢 Miss everyone in heaven Amen. ❤😢

No other person can change people's thinking the way brother boy Arch did with words that told the truth of a law that stole a generation of people's lives that can never be given back or recovered. I've known many of the Stolen Generation people and everytime I play this song I shed tears for them as my show of support and that is the legacy that he has left .. miss ya brother. Phill Solo.

[@chaddrennan5246]

She was born In the river land Born of her mother, into her mother's hands She was free, as the river was wild She was so innocent, Such a beautiful child Then they took her away From Paradise Where everything was beautiful And very nice They took her away Her mother's tongue Slapped her around a little bit To teach her another one In and out of institutions What could they do with this child Where was the neat solution? There was nothing they could do So they gave her to the street And she joined all the rest of the hungry and the tired feet And they took her away From Paradise Where everything was beautiful And very nice They took her away Her mother's tongue Slapped her around a little bit To teach her another one And the pondies they don't swim here any more And pondies the swim here any more She met a boy Who kind of knew Some of the things that she was going through But he was confused So he ran away She found him again And here she is today And they took her away From Paradise Where everything is beautiful And very nice They took her away Her mother's tongue Slapped her around a little bit To teach her another one
