This is a group that sings about their culture from their heart.. Australia...xx

[@WarpxD]

This song was a huge hit in Brazil back in the day. Almost all radios used to play this song.

[@stranger777]

+Caio Caos Yeh its just brilliant, nice to know it made it in Brazil.

[@jasomist]

Several songs became hits in Brazil. The first hit of all was The Dead Heart, followed by Beds are Buning. I've been listening to these tracks on the radio since 1989. Blue Sky Mining album was even more successful, with at least four hits on radio stations across the country. The band first became popular among Brazilian surfers who traveled to Australia in search of giant waves. Some people claimed that Brazil was the band's biggest audience outside of Australia. Great band, great songs and great lyrics. I have fond memories listening to them.

I understand what you are saying and this is coming from a US citizen in 2024. I am still hopeful that the November election will bring about good change and democracy will not go by the wayside. In the meantime, still listen to the Oils singing about Australia but I understand their perspective on how they feel about their country. No country is perfect but regardless of where we live, we all need to strive to make things better for our perspective country and the world we live in.

Great lyrics. Job well done by this talented band so underrated Was it just a dream, were you so confused Was it just a giant leap of logic Was it the time of year That makes a state of fear Methods, were their motives for the action And did I hear you say My country right or wrong Did you save your face Did you breach your faith Women, there were children at the shelter Now who can stop the hail When human senses fail There was never any warning, no escape And did I hear you say My country right or wrong My country oh so strong My country right or wrong My country right or wrong My country going wrong My country right or wrong I hear you say the truth must take a beating The flag a camouflage for your deceiving Cause I know, (I know) I know, it's written on your soul I know we all make mistakes This is not a case of blurred vision, it's a case of black holes, pocket Holes, soul holes And did I hear you say My country right or wrong My country oh so strong My country right or wrong My country right or wrong My country going wrong My country right or wrong My country, my country, my country

41 years ago I saw Midnight Oil at The Royal Antler Narrabeen. I have to thank the boys from The Strand house at Dee Why for taking me to the gig. It was late 1979, a warm night, people pouring jugs of iced water on each other and Peter Garrett's head, steam coming from the Lead Singer's bald cranium. Their music and especially their lyrics have made THE OILS one of the most important Rock bands in history. This new song ' Gadigal Land' is an instant Oils Classic. Words cannot describe how much I love this track. Sydney Radio station MMM played it every hour yesterday, so credit to them for that. Before they played it the first time I was thinking " oh, I hope it's good " I loved it from the opening chords, the thumping Drums, the throbbing Bass and Garrett's vocals delivering every word that is punching the Colonial invaders in the face. Well done boys, this is excellent!

[@ackbarization]

This is bizarrely the most underrated song from one of Australia's most commercially successful bands. And, unlike many of their other songs which are mostly applicable just to Australian social & political life, this song has such universal appeal. Really ought to be played more especially on national holidays like Australia Day or Anzac Day since those are times when people have a tendency to become conspicuously patriotic & think in terms of "my country". Maybe if more people get the message, they'll tone it down a bit because the way one person perceives "their" country may be entirely different from the way another does. Sure, you have a right to express what you want but it is always important to be mindful of others, especially in this "woken" age. Always keep it real. Easily on par with Forgotten Years & Blue Sky Mining. Love it :)

[@ackbarization]

Righto mate. You obviously missed the point.

[@ackbarization]

That's okay. I respect your passion. I wasn't having a dig a nationalism. I was simply pointing out that this song which i feel is very appropriate for a national day such as Australia Day is asking us to question what the concept of "country" means to us on a personal level. That is all.
