Midnight Oil - The Dead Heart (Official Video)

[@Sarah-jy5or]

It brings me to tears when I hear this song. The fact the band cares enough to make awareness of the plight of the indigenous people of Australia is beautiful!!!! . They obviously aren't singing these songs just for money or because it looks righteous. These issues obviously matter to them and they want all of us to care. I wish more bands were more caring for our brothers and sisters all around the world like this band does!!!!!

Because no one cared about the atrocities as much as 80s youth did. We were a special kind

[@ex0duzz]

"because no one cared more about atrocities than 80s youth did". Lol what? 70s were much more activist, more anti war, more counterculture, more anti consumerist, folk songs era. They cared far more for things that mattered. Otherwise, can you five me some counter examples which prove your claim that 80s youth cared the most about atrocities? What did they do to beat 70s or 90s youth? Even if just talking about songs, it's no contest, every second song in 70s was hippy war protest songs, about spreading free love, etc. 80s were boomers and decade of excess, full of consumerist fashion, coke heads instead of weed hippies, start of electronic music and pop music was huge like Michael Jackson, even if he made many songs with a good message, he also had hundreds of millions of dollars, bought theme park never land, decade of excess like I said.. At least 70s hippies were nor hypocrites as much and put their money where their mouths was and protested on the streets for change. 80s did like one band aid or live aid concert, made one song like we are the world, and that's it. 70s every second song from every artist was protest song. 70s were a special kind in a good way, 80s were a special kind in a bad way, or at least when it came to counterculture. 70s was the era of minimalism and hippy protest and counterculture. 80s was the era of mainstream and excess. The war in Vietnam ended, Cold War was basically over, and everyone just forgot and wanted to enjoy to the fullest and not give a shit about anything other than themselves. Hedonistic decade of excess is best way to put it.

@Nathan McCarthy Your replies seem focused more on your anger, rather than what others say. For example, I never implied that you were from any given heritage, nor did I accuse you of anything. Rather, I agree that it is inappropriate to hold anyone accountable for what their ancestors did or didn’t do. We should be accountable only for our own actions.
