Love This Song Since 2009 Anyone Else Still Listen In 2024? 😎

[@TheQueenannerevenge]

Why shld I forgot this song, that's the year when I arrive in Australia as a foreign worker. "when all alone and it's not your home"

Grossly underrated Aussie band, saw Eskimo Joe live as a support act back in 2001, they were phenomenal live.

Soooooo jealous

[@anitabonghit2758]

[@stevenpappas3753]

Correct Thanks Guys

[@chaos-ku4vw]

Most certainly. One of their best. London bombs is another underrated song of Eskimo Joes. Ìts on the New york CD single....i bought that one years ago back when it came out and that is a great one too x

[@bacsatyamkavyen1736]

Oh yes. It's a pity EJ aren't getting any worldwide recognition but I spread their music to any of my friends 'cause they deserve to be heard ❤

[@SuperTsogo]

[@Sophie_1981]

@@dollarking9641They're talking about the media. It was written about Heath Ledger. They were in America when he died.

[@femia1993]

CHART-toppers Eskimo Joe have written a tribute to tragic star Heath Ledger. "And this young man dying in a foreign land - we felt the loneliness of the situation.'' Eskimo Joe - Temperley, Joel Quartermain and Stuart McLeod - are from Ledger's hometown, Perth. "We came from the same town, we were the same age and we were in New York when he died,'' Temperley said. A powerful lyric in the song - "I smell the blood of an Australian'' - is about the US media bloodlust following Ledger's death.

[@nelliesilvers1210]

I'm a tad late to the conversation here but going by the time frame he'd heard announced, Temperley was walking just a block away from Heath's apartment when he took his last breath. He'd only met him once or twice but felt saddened by the fact he'd died alone...many miles away from loved ones and the home he knew

i feel the same way

[@rexsoloman6874]

I heard this song on triple m years ago and I've been searching for it for ages now, so glad I finally found it! This song is literally my childhood.

[@terri-anneking7160]

[@linz5003]

Aint wrong there mate!😎👌🏽🤘🏼

[@rocksteady2263]

It makes me incredibly sad that Australia no longer produces talent like this for the world stage.

[@Ward1706]

No. We just import it now. Like everything important. Because our dollar is stupid high against the US.

[@lachyconway]

We do produce talent, just not necessarily in the genres you may listen to. I know all the dads are upset that we don't have any modern day ACDC or INXS, but take a look at artists like Tame Impala and Flume, they're absolutely killing it on the world stage.

[@Sonoftoenails93]

i like tame impala a hooker recommended it to during a strip tease but then it's drug addled stuff the general public would dismiss it ay? lol

[@CA1TE]

Listen to Hiatus Kaiyote they're wonderfully chaotic

[@salamander4829]

Straight Cap. In fact, just in the small South West region of WA we pump out more talent yearly than every other single square inch of the globe.

[@Sirpence]

the song begins with a very traditional turkish beat. foreign land (turkey) i watched an interview eskimoe joe gave on video hits and they were talking about the song and the insipiration was obiviously turkey. the beat,the sounds even the dancers (inspired by twirling dervishes) in the lyrics they say "i smell the blood of an australian" of course many aussie soldiers lay beneath 'canakkale' (galippoli) this song is awesome

[@mpcarefactor]

I played this song when i went to Dawn service in 2010. It just felt righ, and a Australian homage to a country that has agreed to allow us to pay our respects to our fallen soldiers ON THEIR LAND.

[@edurockforever]

What a great song, what a great band! They deserve being internationally recognised!

[@Nyongoro]

Wow! Totally blown away by these guys! Was looking for 90s/00s Aussie music by lesser-known bands and came across awesome acts like Silverchair, Noiseworks, Screaming Jets, Powderfinger, Baby Animals and Eskimo Joe all deserving greater recognition elsewhere. Keep on rocking Aussie music! 👍

[@catha.j.stuart2200]

You should try Custard and Regurgitator, two of our best alternative bands

[@Nyongoro]

Cheers mate - l sure will! 👍 Been listening to Triple M radio out of the Gold Coast and Adelaide and their support of Aussie acts is fantastic! 👍

[@rhino5591]

I remember this on the radio along with jet and powder finger

[@arthurgiannakis2156]

This song is just brilliant. Brilliant. The composition is great. The lyrics are completely profound. The guitar sound is just perfect. When it breaks out at 2:46 is just completely growls. It's a shame Eskimo Joe are under-rated. This song has got the lot.

[@turnaroundthreadz3614]

Today would have been Heath Ledger's birthday and yes this is a nice dedication to Heath from the Eskies... Being a fellow West Australian it makes me feel all good inside that we have produced alot of great bands and a good actor......

[@nelliesilvers1210]

Us West Aussies have definitely had some epic talent brought out. Karnivool were always one of Perth's greatest aswell IMO. Heath, Bon Scott and Temperley were from Freo and made it big yet stayed humble. Not sure what Temperley's doing these days but he's made a name for himself in the music industry for sure

[@kristinburton4953]

This Perth band is excellent too. Gyroscope - Some of the Places I Know kzbin.info/www/bejne/iXm4g5yOmZ5krLs

[@JamesAnderson-ej3ft]

Australia and New Zealand had some of the best music in the world in the 60's 70's, 80's and early 90's. Music from those both these countries in these eras was on fire. This particular hit after that era is bloody fantastic this really rocks it really kicks arse! Play this hit loud! I just wish both countries could produce kick arse hits like this and from those past years again.

[@debbiebartlett2902]

Every time I listen to this fantastic tribute to Heath ledger it gets me deep down in my gut with sadness.

[@femvoxfan]

I have to rock SO DAMN HARD when I hear this song. The guitar work is just FULL ON!

[@t1mkaz]

did you know guys.. --- " ‎...song inspired by the death of Australian actor Heath Ledger. Temperly told Triple J that he had felt an empathy with the actor as …they both shared the home town of Perth, stating: "We were in New York, this big foreign city, and I felt this immense loneliness of this kid from my home town dying by himself there.""

I lived 5 years in Australia, and many times I felt like him(Heath Ledger)... It's not just about being an Australian... It's about how you feel when it's not your home country, your people, your family. " This was what it feels the love that I couldn't feel when I was in a foreign land" (Australia).

Im a straight up death metal dude play in my own death metal band but as perth muso i alwas respect the bands that have come out of p city and really made it, metal or not eskimko joe always take me back to my high school days, every great momemt their music was in the background, whether it was the radio in the car on the drive home from school, playing from my phone hanging out with my mates, or my ipod riding my bike around neighbourhood looking for adventure, everytime I hear them they just take me back to better days when things were a little easier.

[@codyvalentino53]

Ive been looking for this for like 3 years. Only remembered the horn sound lol

[@nelliesilvers1210]

I've LOVED this song for years and knowing the back story and how it's a tribute to Heath Ledger made me love it more. Dying in a Foreign Land....So try to understand it.💜 I think I speak for most Aussies when I say I'm proud to have greats such as Heath, Bon Scott, EJ, Karnivool and Helmet (and MANY more) come from our beautiful Country. Freo's produced some legendary talent👌🏻

Actually they did with this song, I think they got No. 2 or even No. 1 with this song.

[@TassieLorenzo]

+Gwinn Freemantle They didn't... "Black fingernails, red wine" was a popular hit... Rock music, however, is very marginal on commercial radio these days, they play almost no rock music of any kind, whatsoever. :)

[@DejanKeepingitReal]

+TassieLorenzo Thats because the music industry is geared towards kids.

[@TassieLorenzo]

Dejan Prokic Yeah like how the music industry was geared towards those kids of the 1950s & 1960s who liked those newly popularised electric guitars invented in the 1930s, just as "those kids" like electronic music, hip-hop, dance, and synthesisers as first invented in the 1960-80s ... times change. :) ;) I love rockabilly, yet good luck hearing new rockabilly on Triple J let alone on commerical radio! Times change, yet people still write "new" classical music, and there are still some (smaller, niche) places for other musical styles like rockabilly, rock steady, swing etc styles of popular mainstream music whose time of popularity has gone past. :)

[@bradmasters8491]

Absolutely LOVE the Joe! Every album is so different! The Inshalla album is fantastic (including this track) however my personal favourite is their 'Black Fingernails, Red Wine' album. Comfort You is such an epic track I always get lost listening to it. Setting Sun, This Is Pressure, BFRW are all fantastic tracks. Also check out their Song is a City album - that's where my Eskimo Joe love began. And everytime I see them live (going on 5 times now?) they NEVER disappoint. CHECK IT OUT xoxo

This song is a "farewell" to Heath Ledger. Musicians and actor are from Perth city. Kavyen Temperley: "It had just started snowing. It was a magical moment. That night we had to do this Australia gig, and when we got to it we found out that Heath Ledger had died. He'd died two blocks from where I was walking and at the time I was walking and it started snowing. He was from Perth and we were in New York, this big foreign city, and I felt this immense loneliness of this kid from my hometown dying by himself there."
