#firsttimereact #midnightoil #thedeadheart #80s
Hi all welcome back to another video Dereck Reacts back at it again! This time around we take a look at another Midnight Oil song with "The Dead Heart." I've got to say they are quickly becoming my favorite band. The arrangement on this is sick!! A great pop/rock tune from the 80s, and I'm completely floored! See how good this thing is on all levels!

[@Reani71]

Next Midnight Oil songs for you to check out should be 'Blue Sky Mine' and 'Forgotten Years', two more hit songs that were released in 1990 and as usual also great and meaningful lyrics.

[@sebinlfun]

Diesel and dust is one of the most perfect albums I heard in my life. I would suggest a complete review of the album.

[@anthonysantos3733]

Totally agree

[@antap]

Yep, definately in my top 5

[@droog74]

the big horn is a didgeridoo, a traditional aboriginal instrument. and that's Ulruru in the background. biggest rock in the world

[@ashleydixon4613]

Another vote for “Forgotten Years” next from Midnight Oil. An 80’s tribute to the very last remaining veterans/wartime survivors of WWI. Now we’re currently in the same position with our WWII vets and those old enough to remember it. We’ve got to record their stories, before they’re all gone.

[@liammoore2068]

This song sent a very strong message about the mistreatment of Indigenous Australians - the traditional owners of the land and the Stolen Generation. Great song. Great band.

[@MareTranquillitatis]

They have been my favorite Aussie band since the 80s. They are starting their final tour and I'll be watching them again in June. If this is becoming your favorite band, I'd recommend seeing them live before they're gone. There are so many amazing songs in their catalogue. One of my faves is "Truganini".

[@jena_thornwyrd]

Midnight Oil,honestly I can listen "Diesel & Dust" in loop, at least 4 times before thinking about switching to something else !

[@jmracura1]

Same!

[@cityhonors1]

😂 Been there! 🤣 Done that! 🤔 Could be why I'm contemplating 6/19/22 tickets for Hammerstein Ballroom! 😁🐰

[@RustyShock]

The new album, "Resist", is a masterpiece and every track on it is a home run.

[@stevemurrell6167]

@@RustyShock Agree....it's a superb album.

[@alexls213]

This band is fire. I love them so much 🔥

[@jevousemmerdetouslesthunde2391]

Hi Dereck! Thanks for your react on Midnight Oil. This song "The Dead Heart" was originally released in August 1986 in their country but unfortunately didn't cross borders! It's thanks to their success "Beds Are Burning" and will be reissued 2 years later on the album "Diesel And Dust" and acts as a "follow up" to their great success. It will be ranked no.19 in TOP 50 in France at the end of December 1988. The track denounces the ill-treatment inflicted on the aboriginal tribes in particular the refusal of the Australian parliament to recognize their culture and their identity. Midnight Oil was also the first rock band to perform (for free) in Aboriginal villages. If you want to know another Australian group very POPULAR, I recommend you INXS! They also have some hits and the very "synthpop-wave" song is "Original Sin" in 1984! You'll like it and you gonna throw your bananas🍌🍌🍌 thru the window!😁😅 Even if I like Midnight Oil, I still prefer INXS compared to their more "synthpop-wave" and rock music too. M/V link : kzbin.info/www/bejne/hoW4faSwp811jaM (Official Music Video) You also have "Need You Tonight" (1987) : kzbin.info/www/bejne/rV7Vp2V4hsZlhbc (Official Music Video) Thanks for your amazing job our American crony. 👍🇫🇷

[@jeromepeugnet8599]

Alors je dirais plutôt l'inverse... J'aime bien inxs, mais pas la stature des oils, loin des là, ni dans l'engagement ni musicalement !

[@AndreVlaamsValle]

Here in Brazil they played a lot at the time. As a 'new wave' band and as surfer's band.

[@LiveAlcheme]

I LOVE that you are loving The Oils!!! They are endlessly listenable. The music, the words, the meaning, the delivery - mastery on all levels. Catch their MTV Unplugged set. All of their songs are my favorites and I have a special place in my heart from Truganini.

[@haralddutertre2094]

You should know INXS !!!

[@samueldevulder]

Especially since Dereck enjoy Kylie..

[@RocketDaveA]

One of my favorite bands. Check out "Power and the Passion" next.

[@jamielandis4308]

Good stuff here. Bullroarer is another great song off of this album. This song made more sense to me after watching a documentary about Uluhu (Ayer’s Rock). Love this group!

[@donna25871]

10 to 1 is my favourite Oils album and US Forces was my karaoke song in the early 90’s.

[@tangoalpha1347]

This album is one of my favorite rock music album of all I ever heard, from the beginning to the end, there's nothing to get away. I can say that this group contributed, in an early age, the project I had to make music. so thanks for this... good to remind, flash of light and energy, powerfull and clever;-))

[@martinpascoe7678]

As an Ingenous Autralian this is my national anthem by a country mile Derrick!!!!!!

[@arrbek2359]

Thank you for reading into the meaning and background of the lyrics. The clean Australia the world knows today has very very dark back story

[@jmracura1]

Dreamworld is another hit from this album!

[@eviekelpie1]

I'm Australian so I couldn't subscribe quick enough. Midnight Oil are huge here and most of their songs are about land rights, people rights, politics. This particular song is talking about mistreatment of our indigenous peoples. Midnight Oil have had 21 hits! Other recommendations, US forces Power and the passion

[@jamesshaffer9890]

Its not just the music, it is the lyrics. They were a true protest band. The lead singer went into politics where he fought for the environment and the rights of indigenous people.

[@cityhonors1]

🤗 Oh the power & the passion! 😉 See what I did there... 😁🐰

[@trenchy1990]

Considering the oils started out very punk influenced. When they added a more country sounded element to their sound, they really found their sound. It's a good rabbit hole to go down.

[@user-we7ih9tt9y]

One of my favorite songs

[@barnowl5774]

Midnight Oil is a band with a conscience.

[@Matto_Harvo]

What did Garret do with his conscience in government?

[@ronpotts6385]

Blue Sky Mine next, please. You won't be disappointed. There's a word for what Midnight Oil brings to every single song: passion.

[@laurinpaine7312]

Blue sky mine refers to the blue Seams of asbestos being. mined,which is Deadly!

[@romainviry3185]

the Approval came right at the climatic moment. Glad you enjoyed it twice D ;)

[@IsabelleRSG]

I love this song, it’s so powerful and emotional and unique! So happy to see you’re enjoying their music and what they stand for with their songs. I remember seeing unplugged on MTV and it was a fabulous set as well

[@lone982]

Well done going over the lyrics... There is almost always a strong message in Oils songs.

[@romainviry3185]

"Brave faces" and "Put down that weapon" must be recognized as well. And many more "Read about it" etc.

[@allezFrance2016]

"Put down that weapon" is another great song from this wonderful "Diesel and Dust" album.

[@MorgMorg-uf6ps]

Blue sky mining (1990) is one of the best rock albums. Saw them live in South Africa in 1994. Check out the live version of beds are burning from the Ellis Park concert in Johannesburg. 🙏 Their music is deep and meaningfull.

[@dennispower5362]

Being an American.. when the war was going on..checkout Midnight oil ..U.S. FORCES..BANGR

[@BruceCoble]

The really low sound is a didgeridoo, an iconic indigenous instrument...

[@brettmurphy3237]

you have to check out Short Memory, another absolute banger with a focus on the atrocities caused by colonialism

[@marceltroia9750]

Makes me sad if people say they are a one hit wonder cause its just not true..you should see them live, outrageous musicianship and charismatic frontman. Love this music

[@scrotrot1595]

Who on earth said they are a one hit band??? Never heard that before!!!

[@caro.k2958]

They truely are one of the best bands ever and still going strong! Peter had a hiatus for a while while he went into politics and became federal minister for environment trying to change things from the inside but is back with midnight oil again and better than ever! Please react to Power and the Passion next you will love it💕😎Loving your reactions so far 👍

[@scrotrot1595]

An embarrassment as a politician. Wasn't his portfolio something other than Environment?? Education?? Used and abused by Labor stooges. Should have been an Indi. Regardless, they rock. Saw them here in Canberra a few days ago and again, they didn't disappoint.

[@jmracura1]

Power and the Passion and We Resist too you should get to in time!

[@mapsandstuff2923]

They're doing their last ever tour this year apparently!! I saw them a few years ago and they were incredible.

[@methos3135]

Yep. Going to see them in Toronto on June 13th. Last chance to ever see them.

[@scrotrot1595]

Saw them again last Saturday here in Canberra, at Pete's old stomping ground, ANU.

[@ianrabbidge1321]

Saw them in London last summer. They are the best band live.

[@dipsydoodle7988]

You should check them out live. Oils on Water concert, Stand in Line. Prepare for 🤯🤯

[@silverstitch28]

Yes! Its been one of my faves growing up 💕 im so glad youve been playing aussie rock!

[@nicolen.1446]

Would highly recommend their most recent album, "Resist"!

[@karlchensam]

Put down that weapon is amazing

[@ulfnygards3094]

One of the best band of the 80´s, maybe the best

[@redhenry]

Try Truganini. Awesome. A song with so much meaning

[@peedah3236]

Blue sky mine , Best of both worlds, Hercules, King of the mountain , Forgotten years, When the generals talk , US Forces , Power and the passion and Truganini should all be on your Midnight Oil playlist

[@resireg]

Australian bands are more popular in South America than North America

[@maritast.537]

I love this song . It‘s one of my favorite.

[@romainviry3185]

incredible group. One of my fav growing up (French lived in Mauritius where they were so loved)

[@rosiekickett2617]

The lyrics needs to be updated to "60000 years" as it's proven that Aboriginal people have been here for at least 65000 years & we're the oldest living culture on Earth 🌎🌎...luv my people I'm a Aboriginal woman from Perth Western Australia and my people are the Noongah people of the South West region of Western Australia and my country is from Perth all the way south to Albany ❤❤

[@vickygraham2444]

Essential Oils by Midnight Oil, my favorite!!! Back on the borderline, Hercules, Kozioscko, it's all fantastic!

[@GigiGisele]

I've got all their albums, they're just awesome!

[@martinyant8653]

Damn right

[@OfficialAshArcher]

Diesel and Dust is one of the few perfect albums. A striking commentary on the poor conditions inflicted on Australian Aboriginal People. They’re a perfect band

[@DANINREDDY]

Diesel and Dust is one of the greatest Australian album of all time...

[@julieb.5860]

saw them twice. peter garret is a great storyteller, as well as a fun singer and an incredibly intelligent person

[@MrFreakyFatBoy]

I saw them live on the diesel & dust tour. Water tanks and windmill on stage. F’ing brilliant

[@fredb5149]

super chanson !

[@deanmaynard8256]

They are EPIC live!

[@Stormyday-zg7iz]

Yes they have other hits, 'blue sky mine', 'power and the passion', 'king of the mountain' and more, all their song have a message, usually political. If you want crazier watch 'stand in line' live.👍😎

[@viddiot]

Hahaha! Watching this reaction takes me back back to the living room with my childhood friend jumping around playing air guitar to great bands albums. You must check out 10,9,8,7,6,....even if just privately! What makes the Oils (and bands like them) so good, is they actually sing about SOMETHING.

[@olivierchapron7122]

Hi Dereck, from the same album, you should hear " put down that weapon "

[@thegoldenbandicoot]

I think the sound you're picking up is the didgeridoo - traditional Aboriginal Australian instrument. They have a huge cateloge. Suggest you check out US Forces, When the Generals Talk, Blue Sky Mine, Short Memory, Forgotten Years, Put Down that Weapon etc. All with a message and uncompromising.

[@carmelaseverino681]

You just cannot go wrong when reviewing a Midnight Oil Son! Thank You 🙏 are you referring to the digeridoo? As well as horns?

[@colkellahan6676]

Start with there first album and enjoy the ride

[@liamfahey7836]

Crank the volume right up for this one. It rocks

[@peteraldous4843]

That “deep” sound is a didgeridoo

[@jon-paulfilkins7820]

It was the single released right before "Beds a Burning" and in a lot of ways, 'Beds a Burning' was a hit on the back of buzz this song generated.

[@jeromepeugnet8599]

Grand fan de midnight oil,, j'en ai tellement à te proposer...! Peut être "one country" qui est monumental, "river run's red" et tellement d'autres..!!

[@Io-Io-Io]

My Country

[@matthewrandom4523]

I LOVE this song!!!!!!

[@jezzusj]

Without doubt the best song on Diesel and dust ☮️

[@richardcooper7971]

Try the songs Dream World, Warakurna and Bull Roarer. I am sure they all have music videos from the day. They are all tracks from their greatest album (in my opinion) Diesel and Dust 1986. Check these songs out Dereck. You wont be disappointed. I am an Aussie by the way.

[@TheMarathonomahos]

They are probably one of the more famous protest bands

[@johndotter351]

Make sure you check out the Power and Passion too.

[@rouguy1972]

My favorite ❤️

[@brissiegeoff]

Have a listen to their early “Head Injuries” album. Every song is a gem. So original. They sounded so different to everything else at that time.

[@hubertortet7473]

Next react to this album : Dreamworld 😀😀😀

[@liamfahey7836]

And On the same album, Warakarna rocks even harder

[@cityhonors1]

Nice seeing you enjoying MO! Look for their 2022 Tour! 🥰 I'm going June 19, 2022, Hammerstein Ballroom, NYC. 🐰

[@joegillian2466]

Earth and Sun and Moon And Breath Tow good album too

[@stevemurrell6167]

Diesel and Dust is probably their best album....but they have so many great albums, including their latest 'Resist', released earlier this year.

[@samueldevulder]

I remind this one. Very powerful.

[@shmick6079]

One of the greatest Australian bands in history. A few more tracks for you to check out: Forgotten Years Blue Sky Mine Power & the Passion King of the Mountain US Forces Short Memory Read About It Kosciusko

[@MarkRadford78]

All the tracks on Diesel & Dust are stunning but I think The Dead Heart is the best song on there, an incredible recording with such an important message!!!

[@selmaroberson4447]

i know every word to the songs on diesel and dust album lol

[@pailbadcock]

Hi from Australia! Midnight Oil are awesome. Very political. Glad you found them :)

[@fabmetenier8428]

Wreckery Road by Midnight Oil

[@resireg]

That's their best song

[@michaelmaskell5363]

The lead singer (law degree) Peter Garret joined the Australian Labor Party (ALP) a Social Democrat Party and became the MINISTER FOR THE ENVIRONMENT when the ALP became the Australian Government.

[@scrotrot1595]

Political Degree at ANU and Law at UNSW, I think UNSW. Should have stayed with that Consevation Party that he led for sometime. Abject failure in the Labor carnage of Rudd and Gillard. Regardless, a ripping front man for a band that always had a message. Saw them last weekend here in Canberra and the boys are still a formidable unit.

[@tullfan2560]

If you're looking for more great Aussie attack music, check out Out That Door by Hoodoo Gurus!

[@richtensail]

try us forces, power n v passion, short memories, blue sky mine, truganini, vey got mre hits to, enjoy

[@magalilefloch4133]

You can also try put down that weapon. Please

[@antoniocastro6345]

Lisen new song Rising Seas is amazing song!

[@bradleyedwards9244]

What's great about the Oils is that they can't be pigeon holed into one sound/genre. Their music is so diverse and it's more like give me a song of theirs l don't like. Look up Hunters and Collectors, Black Sorrows , Cold Chisel , The Divynls ,Diesel John Farnham etc etc

[@bvanderbank11]

Please react to their song Beds are burning. It's also magnificent.They are activists.

[@fabmetenier8428]

Such A Shame by Talk Talk "big hit" please Dereck

[@danielsegen]

Blue sky mine…..

[@latenightlogic]

In the second chorus part of the second chorus at about 3:46 there’s a cool sound ‘ting’ noise, it happens again at 3:53. It’s a small addition but means the world to me… anyone have any idea what the instrument is to make this sound?

[@craiglbeaumont]

Pretty certain it's a glockenspiel.

[@akhorus9259]

Try indigenious siberian russiaan group Otyken-My wing

[@daniels1975]

Rob Hirst, the drummer talks about writing this song: kzbin.info/www/bejne/a6e8iIiIn7aKrLc

[@marcosavendano1453]

Midnight man is other hit by sandra i recommend you that one
