Falling Joys - Lock It (official video)

[@graemehill5998]

I used to go to all the Big Day outs just to see the Falling Joys and the Clouds.

[@standupstraight9691]

That's when JJJ was worth listening to.

[@belindahedges499]

Love the Clouds🥰

[@sexobscura]

*Two really great bands from that era*

[@SuspectAccount]

Strong shout for best song of the era. This and 'Bye Bye Pride' by The Go-Betweens IMO.

[@tyggerjai]

It is difficult to express how deeply I have loved this song for 30 years, and how glad I am to have found a decent copy of it here. My digitized-from-an-old-tape version is nostalgic, but lacking in nuance....

[@johndesign39]

A forgotten masterpiece.

[@dollhouse3009]

totally - the whole perfect song came to me from nowhere today and it is still as perfect today is it was the first time I heard it

[@johndesign39]

@@dollhouse3009 I like that.

[@jayzedable]

I met the band in Studios 301, maybe sometime in 89. Great people, excellent music. Of course, as a junior engineer in those studios at the time a combination of pretention and not wanting to look like a prat, I never said how much I loved their music. I doubt they remember me, we played pool for an hour or so. I don't even remember exactly what they were doing there, maybe Don Bartley was mastering a single or album. Anyway, sorry. I've listened to the singles for over 30 years, with a bit of a gap in the 90s before everything was on the internet. This is one of my favourite songs ever.

[@gergatronic]

Criminally overlooked, one of the great Aussie bands.

[@rogeralbans4082]

Isn't one of the former members one of Australia's leading Covid 19 microbiological professors? There was an interview on ABC with Dr Norman Swan last year and it was in the last seconds where they said, "weren't you in the band ............," and he said something like "yeah that was a life time ago".

[@dkmzoneglobal-1472]

Definitely.

[@twentyrothmans7308]

@@rogeralbans4082 Then the chorus should have been "Stay at home - we'll lock you up".

[@tobysemler]

OMG I have been looking foir this song for most of my life. Thanks Triple J Hottest!

[@mickleberry]

Never heard this song before... it's so beautiful. (Falling Joys were always in the background but i didn't listen at the time.)

[@unclesuperfly]

I’m a Pom who was in Aus early 90s on my way up to work in Thredbo. Saw these guys and the Clouds play in a venue in Canberra. Probably the best gig I’ve seen..

[@Vaughan261342]

Absolutely fab band. I saw The Clouds in Sydney just a couple of months ago. They were amazing, just wish the two could have done a double bill. Far out. Suzie Higgie was a show stopper at the old RSL Club in Civic (we were probably at the same gig) in 1992, I think. Hey, I saw Alvvays at the O2 at Kentish Town last year, I am an Aussie, family in Nuneaton would you believe. They are so 90's and evocative of the GOB's, The Clouds, Falling Joys, The Hummingbirds etc. Don't lose it, keep going to gigs my friend.

[@unclesuperfly]

@@Vaughan261342 Great to hear they’re still playing. I think it was 1991 I was in Oz. Saw some great stalwarts of Australian music up in the snow.. The Angels, Hunters & Collectors & Crowded House.. I love it, still listen to Triple J 🤣..

[@KochADV]

Definitely in my lifetime top 10 songs... awesome.

[@davidparry3058]

mine too

[@shanicraven9573]

Made a purple n blue necklace for my first love. Thank you

[@dollhouse3009]

oh my lord I love you xxx that is the cutest comment ever

[@belindahedges499]

Omg I sort of forgot how much I loved this band how stupid of me they were brilliant

[@bjscorpio4041]

Good bass line.

[@FutureStateMachine]

I still have the set list from when you played at Festival Hall in Brisbane.

[@twentyrothmans7308]

RBT and higher cover charges killed the concept of "see band Saturday, buy CD Monday".

[@guymartin6514]

Beautiful ❤ Thanks Suzie and boys.

[@mattieslurmusic]

Beautiful song by the loveliest and nicest band from Canberra. Ever.

[@dkmzoneglobal-1472]

Agreed !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

[@michaeloflannagen]

Excellent. 👍

[@peterbrown6224]

A friend and I saw a concert of yours, and we both bought the album. Quite how I ended up here. looking for your music, is a mystery. I suppose it means that it had an impact on me. Thank you.

[@MRDARKTURKEY]

Just wanted to say somehow I completely missed this song in the 90's, but am completely obsessed with it now!!!!, absolute australian classic, beautiful .

[@SamuraiRecords7]

I really like this

[@dollhouse3009]

cute!!

[@greghamer9340]

Thank you. I can't tell you how much I love hearing this song, every time I "re-discover" it on my iPod.

[@MolecularArts]

wish I could figure out the lyrics at the end (3:44 onward)... Not on any lyrics web sites!

[@tigerlily8133]

I'm with you there! I spend a lot of time trying.

[@emeraldcitycreative6892]

This is what I'm trying to discover now, cos i want to play this song live.. but i NEED those lyrics lol. Did u have any luck?

[@MolecularArts]

@@emeraldcitycreative6892 sorry, no!

[@chrisszymczyk1629]

I found the Falling Joys because of "Night Flight", a TV show in early 1990's. Loved them, bought there LP's with no regrets ! ! They colored my life & gave me hope for more thoughtful PoP . T h a n k s !

[@lmrk5705]

I adore this song - bought the CD back in the day.

[@asd36f]

I bought the cassette - can't believe it was 30+ years ago!

[@simonburns1055]

Whata a tune Sublime

[@markdwyerrealestatesalestr7439]

Lock it! For a while anyway.... I like it!

[@AdelaideRegiment]

Their best video in my opinion :)

[@gregrichardson2070]

One of the best !

[@siffiona]

[@simonburns1055]

LOve that song

[@kyliegordon3980]

This album reminds me of The Swing I don't know why they didn't become a mega band. They should have.

[@kyliegordon3980]

[@stephencrowley3939]

It's a fantastic album, esp for a debut. The production is great, and there's plenty of memorable songs. I had a unique version of it that had a song called "Shelter" as the last song on there. It's another great song by them. Their other 2 albums were pretty good too, though Wish List probably just edges them out.

[@aircraft1974]

1000 of your views was me LOL

[@esoteric_1]

November 2024 the Suzie Higgie love is strong

[@LucDevine]

I've watched this so many times but I gotta say at 17 it didn't feel like it was about to trigger a seizure like it does now. Why is the director shooting her like that? She's not Quasimodo ffs. Light her properly we want to see her face.
