Jimmy Barnes - Shutting Down Our Town (Official Audio)

[@brownie0928]

One of those songs ya gotta put on repeat...too bloody good! R.I.P Holden ✊🏽

[@TheIoniaboy]

I'm 72 years old from Michigan in the US. My once little prosperous town like hundreds of others all over the country are wastelands. Struggling to regain financial security that just disappeared. Gone, generations of people's lives destroyed.

[@taylaespener]

I shed a year or two every time I hear this song. This song represents a very sad day in Australian history where we lost full ownership of one of our best cars to ever be made which was the Holden. My heart breaks tremendously every time I hear this song. As I was a Holden girl before they turned to shit. Jimmy Barnes you have done wonders once again. Your a true Australian icon and forever will be just like the Holden ❤️ I'm 26 years old and grew up with your music as my family love you as I do as well. I will give credit where credit is due. Thank you so much for another extraordinary hit Jimmy ❤️

If you’ve ever been retrenched from a job where you have given it your all, you know exactly what this song means

[@LAZYSHOT-kx3bw]

its good to see our Australian music society is still going strong compared to how the country was great at one stage before governments had there say but still Jimmy Barnes is still going strong giving us great music

[@nbsco-1684]

This song just hit me. Well done Troy and Jimmy. I’m from working class people and can totally relate. We just want to work with a sense of pride and have some reward at the end of the day.

I wanted to take a moment to thank you for all the support you’ve shown me throughout my career, You’ve always been someone I could call my “biggest fan.” What means the most to me is that you do more than tell me I’m “great” at what I do, or that I’m a shoe-in for an opportunity. You take it a few steps beyond and share the reasons why you think so. Sometimes it seems like you remember my achievements even better than I do myself. I always appreciate your ability to see how my talents can make a difference and you’ve made me a believer too! After a chat with you, I always feel more confident and capable, and for that I will always be grateful. Kindly message me on hangouts email. [e-mail]

so, Barnesy was raised about 200 meters from ware i sit now. 0n heytesbury rd. neither he or myself worked at holdens elizabeth, but if you live anywhere near, you know people who do...or did. amazing song, glad to see he remembers his roots and he's right elizabeth was never much to look at. and his wikipedia entry is way rong

[@veradogaru4280]

Amazing! Wow, loved it as soon as I heard it on Triple M. Beautiful those keyboard notes too. The rest is just pure Jimmy style

[@michaelmoore6271]

When I was living at shinbone Ally Echuca VIC Australia.

[@RollingEasy]

Look up "Lima Agreement" 1975 to see why we've been sold down the river by successive Govts. Once was a time when there was more work than people to fill those jobs. Seriously, you could go out in the morning and find a new job and start it the next day and if you didn't like it, next day go out and do exactly the same again. The only qualification I have is a driver's license plus self taught skills from all the work I had. I paid off my first house at age 40 and my second 12yrs later. Blue collar every day of my working life.

[@stevemelhuish2722]

Fantastic song and video well done. Will have this blasting when cruising in the VB Commie wagon!

At 0.29 " I can hear the noises coming from the Karawara deep into the night" any reason why the Perth suburbs of Karawara gets a gurnersy?

[@cheyennedoyle2184]

It’s so sad 😪 but such a powerful song People in Australia weren’t buying the cars anymore so they lost money

[@Bush_Tucker]

No it was when the mining boom crashed and people were loosing jobs left right and centre, and the government decided to raise all taxes so people couldn't afford to buy new cars
