Hunters & Collectors - True Tears Of Joy (Official Video)

[@nickbanhidy7262]

One of the greatest aussie songs of all time. Better than todays crap...

[@JamesJimmaHarding]

Aussie music today is just Americanised generic garbage. Nothing special

[@mattybwrblombo71]

This song is great but don't be so narrow minded Aussie rock lives on with violent soho, British India grinspoon to name a few

[@shadowbanned5164]

I love this song but personally my favorite off that particular album is Hear No Evil

[@SW-js3vo]

Tash Sultana to name but one!

Every time I hear this song, or think of Hunters & Collectors, I always think of the 4 times I have been to Australia. 1st time was as a Youth Exchange Student when I just finished High School, and then 3 times afterwards. I had the pleasure of being in Sydney, Brisbane and Canberra. I love this song, and any Aussie tunes... makes me think of my many memories, and my longing to go back to such a wonderful, laid back country. LOVE YOU HUNTERS & COLLECTORS & AUSTRALIA.

[@jayjoyce4502]

Well get your laid back lovin butt back over here... The Sunshine Coast is the place to go for our gen. Heading up there myself with a couple of mates and a couple of the daughters (they're loving my gen oz rock bands) to go to a festival headlining the H&C up Noosa way on Anzac weekend 2020

[@johnussss]

[@Duke6564]

Australia loves you back!

[@seangiuliani3825]

[@Lewis12124]

An an Australian born and raised I am happy you like my homeland. I have not lived there since 2006 when I left to live in the UK and also lived in Georgia, USA when I was married to an American lady. years ago. Time has gone so fast!

[@SurajKumar-th9zc]

Needs more "airplay " tears of joy " ! Top band . Amazing. One of the best songs Australia has ever produced

[@williamlarkin5045]

I'm crying tears of joy listening to this song. Beautiful.

[@DrJohnSheehan]

"True Tears Of Joy" I just love the lyrics Come on confess your confusion Spread it around They trickle down your cheeks tears fall Like seed on barren ground Your thoughts are scattered Like paper everywhere Tiny pieces of laughter and despair But you cry true tears of joy Passion is your weakness But you feed it everyday Like a moth to the naked falme You just can't keep away You twist the truth, then you turn the other cheek Everybody knows its just salvation that you seek And you cry true tears of joy oh you cry true tears of joy oh yeah It flickers on your face I can see it in your eyes I knew you for a moment So don't be so surprised Its only pleasure that you can't resist But say one word of truth And I'll see you cry true tears of joy Oh you cry true tears of joy Yeah you cry true tears of joy Oh you cry true tears of joy Oh yeah Tears of joy

[@christophermau1962]

+John Sheehan - Surely Such a message there John :) Brilliant :)

[@Donster888]

Thanks mate

[@katherine16249]

Thanks for the lyrics John, love this song.

[@dhenderson1810]

I always thought that the line was :"Crying, through tears of joy".

[@KatAtomic77]

This song musically is pure magic... sigh... it gives me shivers every time. 1993 it transports me to, seeing autumn sunshine filtered through the redgum lined streets of my neighbourhood as I walked through with a heavy heart...

[@kierangardiner8672]

Deep ❤

[@lizbet69]

this has to be one of my fave Hunnas songs

[@glenharris8563]

There is no greater love than hunters and collectors mark your a national treasure !!

[@vicgodinet3379]

My favourite Hunters and Collectors song..excellent voice..

[@stevedoyle3633]

hunters and collectors - floor was bouncing at the venue in Melbourne all those years ago - fucking amazing energy have recently been diagnosed with motor neurone disease- this song makes me happy. x

[@complexlittlepirate3589]

Long may it do so Steve x what an awesome memory, I can only imagine how epic that show must have been!

[@sacredbach142]

You are healed Amor

[@dosfuegos]

All the best Steve!

[@LJW55]

Fist heard this when living and working in Saudi Arabia in the early 90's on "illegal" satellite MTV. I think it was '93. Just LOVE IT...!

[@victormuabi1879]

From Angola, listen to this greet music, it`s pity in this cruel world, it is no longer done song like this...

[@bomartin4571]

This song is up there with the best Aussie songs , and the others we hear around the world , A TRUE GEM !

[@Polpiv4tifish]

Amazing. One of the best songs Australia has ever produced

[@TheAceaclubz]

Hauntingly beautiful

[@kic21]

This song I reckon is one of their best songs. It's so moving it brings me almost to tears when I hear it!!!

[@gregstack807]

Sumpin aboutit

[@obiwazz6929]

The best song by the best ever Australian band

[@iceberg5220]

Look! The video production is 30 years ahead of its time! H&C direction and production is unreal for a time when music videos were only just coming out!! Unreal!!

[@napalm5]

The production values here are good but doesn't mean it's ahead of its time.

[@Auzox]

My oldtime hunters & collectors favourite a true gem of music

[@LJY08]

I think, as Australians, we're only just really beginning to understand how amazing our music industry is (and was). We have always seen ourselves as second-rate, and allowed ourselves to be seen that way, but BOY, is that changing. Finally! We see how great our talent is, and it IS great! This song is amazing! As so much of what our country produces IS amazing, and perhaps...FINALLY! We are starting to appreciate that. FINALLY! ...such a beautiful song. xx oo

[@Boroman9]

1000% correct. How many legendary acts/artists have we produced throughout the decades? The Easybeats, The Seekers, AC/DC, Olivia Newton-John, Little River Band, Men at Work, Midnight Oil, INXS, Icehouse, Crowded House, Sherbet, Skyhooks, Cold Chisel, Australian Crawl, Hunters and Collectors, John Farnham, The Divinyls, Pseudo Echo, silverchair, Savage Garden, Jet... we have produced such an abundance of class musicians and it something that we as Australians should be more than proud of.

[@spazzojen]

You forgot to say the Choirboys!

[@theoysterbird9846]

My parents emigrated from England to NZ in 1974. Had they not, I would not have been born and would have missed NZ and Australian music. I'm so glad I didn't. We might rile each other from time to time but we are cousins, you are part of me and I love you all.

[@suzycanuck]

Just want to add to the already great list of music.... that I experienced visiting Oz in the mid-1980s... Paul Kelly, Hoodoo Gurus, Mental As Anything, V. Spy V. Spy, Boom Crash Opera... great memories of my time spent in Oz during my 20s.

[@jugdementday1]

I never saw us as second rate. Rather, i was dumbfounded that others couldnt see just how good it really was.

[@wildsidemtb]

their best song ever

[@ozadrian]

This base line has been living in my head for the last 30 odd years

[@garycharles7221]

I played this song over and again when my son was born

[@jamuga60]

You know I have come to the conclusion that this is the best song I've ever heard! And if it happened to be the last? Well that would be splendid!

[@clarissafarmer3547]

Don’t do it

[@adamsmith9473]

Very underrated artist. Listen to last ditch cabaret. Excellent song. Hunters and mark are awesome, wish I got to see them live in the day

[@clarissafarmer3547]

This gives me goosebumps and also makes me happy and sad at the same time

[@kenc.d8200]

Brilliant song by "hunters & collectors "! "Tears of joy "! lovely song .

[@benji274]

This song doesn't get enough attention compared to other Hunters songs from the same period, but it really should

[@LJW55]

+Ben B I think it's their best. Really showcases Mark Seymour's vocal talent. Brilliant!!

[@jamuga60]

I hear what ya saying Ben..............................................And I dig it.

[@JamesBarrett23]

They are without doubt one of the best

[@remiyoung7251]

I love this song..are you british

[@timh5957]

Top tune! Want to see them live

[@jennajenna4362]

this is so my 1994 - in so many ways - my then partner and i listened to hunter and collectors so much - it was a time if often think back on with so much love and fond memories - 30 years ago - but never far out of my mind - those were the times

[@jasbowen5145]

I was an apprentice, Love this band! Very underated band!!!

[@shelookstome8727]

My fave song by these guys, just perfect. I saw Mark and his band The Undertow perform tonight at an industry conference dinner and I wish they'd sung this song!!!

[@captainnobody9892]

AMEN Brilliant.. I hope it is recognised for the amazing piece it is.

[@Lilyunderwater]

Amazing voice. Could listen for hours.

‘92 was the saddest year of my life! Love you Eddie, this got me through!

[@jaimeeahlborn6420]

looks like blackheath in the blue mountain's Amazing. One of the best songs Australia has ever produced The best song by the best ever Australian band

[@markrussell9088]

I reckon it's near where he lived as a teenager, Rosanna in Melbourne

[@lizbet69]

friggen love this song and clip...

[@jeanie6279]

What a great, mellow song! Totally perfect. I've got to get to know the Hunters & Collectors. They have a similar feeling to Crowded House and the Finn brothers, but of course they have their own thing going on and it's awesome. The bass is so cool and relaxed. Grooooooooovy bass! And his voice is incredible, it really is. As usual, the bands that are setting stunning poetry to amazing music are NEVER heard on the radio. I wish I could turn on the radio and hear this kind of music.

[@billyalexander5530]

Jeanie DeCoster this song is on quite often on the radio, triple m and gold FM play it

[@AnalogTVMainChannel]

I’m going to do a radio show (hopefully) so I’ll play this song at some point

[@phillipscoble5217]

Better than Crowed house not taking anything away from them he is a kiwi although I think Hunters made their mark in Australia much more than NZ They have so many great songs and became a go to in oz from early 1990s👍

[@abominableyeka8079]

Amazing pick, you’d be pleased to realise two brothers, Mark in H&C, Nick in CH…enjoy

[@stefancampitelli8589]

Beautiful.

[@kellyboon766]

Sooooo many Aussie bands from 80's were underrated... Bring back the real music....

Ditto, Angel's, Hunters, Mondo, Icehouse, Chisel, Inxs.....

description for the song; "She's standing at the gate about to depart for Tokyo to pursue dubious employment. She doesn't want to go, doesn't know why she's going, runs off... tears streaming down her face. Hardly joyous. That came later

First heard this song on MTV via satellite TV when I was working as a nurse in Riyadh, Saudi Arabia in '93. Had never heard of H&C before then (must have been living under a rock) became a fan immediately... 15 years later shook Mark Seymour's hand at the Qantas check-in counter at Brisbane airport..!
