This song has a special place in my garden of memories. 40 years on, it's ageless! Used to live Down Under when I was a kid in the 80's, I have now settled in the south of France for 27 years and when I hit the road, I love listening to and sharing this song with my georgeous little daughter and ...she loves the bass line to it! Of course! Priceless! Being a teacher in English as well, I have even made my pupils listened to it! They couldn't have given a sh... But I enjoyed the moment so much!

I was in my early teens in New Zealand when this song was on high rotate and really didn't think much of it. It was background noise. Now I love it and I really like this version. Drummers have come a long way since then - so metronomic but still organic sounding. I am so old!

I write this before the guitar solo that ruined everything. This song is cinematic - it needs no flashes of virtuosity to elevate it. The song stands on its own without fucking rock solos.

I first this song back in September 1982 and straight away I was transfixed to the sound and lyrical content of this classic song at a time I had new neighbors living next door and who were they? It was Mum Shirl (god bless her lovely soul) and a few Koori aboriginal elders and the lyrics “are you gonna let them take you over that way” still still sticks with me to this very day. A timeless Aussie classic.

I said it for years and the other music journalists who thought they were too cool for pop music missed some really great shows because they just didn't bother to see Icehouse play. Now I live on the other side of the world and haven't been in Australia for nearly 9 years, this song touches me even more whenever I play it to friends here in Egypt.
