Midnight Oil - Truganini

RIP their bassist Bones Hillman. After a battle with cancer he died at the age of 62 in his home of Milwaukee, Wisconsin USA. He'll always be remembered.

[@DeekSkusting57]

I was there when they shot this. Amazing night! They played for nearly three hours. No opening act. What was even cooler was that they didn't use a stage. Just set up on the ground with the crowd. I was able to find myself in the video. They opened the show, played a few songs, then they played this while they shot it. Then they would play it again after a few songs and film it again. They played it around five or six times that night. It was a free show. They provided free bus rides to the site (Brooklyn Bridge) from Manhattan.

[@deceiver444]

This song is actually a little masterpiece in writing and production.

This is midnight oil just flexing how good a band they are….Musically as good as any band to ever do it…Harmonies as good as any band in history…At the height of their powers here..Musical Royalty

[@tallguynmass]

One of the top sleeper bands from the eighties. Countless number of great songs that no one has ever even heard, unless they made the airwaves. The bass line on this particular song is tremendous. Their songs have real meaning, and a lot of it is happening right before our very eyes in the modern day. These guys were way ahead of their time.

[@BlueHopi144]

We saw them back in the 90's in Europe & they are still much loved to this day . I was impressed by their live performance - one of the best rock bands ever .

[@lukemckean6155]

They weren’t a sleeper band in Australia. Had a huge following despite very little commercial television or radio support

[@portbou4264]

Well said

[@catherinechurko4041]

Luckily our NYC based rock station was playing "Sometimes", and they happened to be playing live in Central Park as the gigantic anti nuclear weapons march where people were marching through part of the park. Became a fan, and them 2x's at later shows. Excellent music, shows!

[@MikeLandicovers]

They are only a sleeper here in America. The rest of the world knows them very well.

[@MareTranquillitatis]

This song came out almost 3 decades ago, and i still can't get enough of it. it's one of my favorite songs of all time, and not just by the Oils. if a week goes by without me hearing this song, i go into relapse. i think its that good - both the message and the melody. i finally got to see them live in 2017 in Oakland, CA and it was incredible...a bucket list item i thought i'd never be able to cross off.

[@marshallgeorge3819]

I had heard Blue Sky Mining and Beds Are Burning and liked those, but when this track dropped in the states I was really hooked. Great band - reminds me of The Tragically Hip from Canada.

[@andrewmaguire4476]

One of my favourite songs of all time. I'm now 55 from Newcastle, England and it's 2022 and this song still makes me want to cry, so so brilliant ❤❤❤

[@Wolfdog370]

These guys are the most sincere rockers of multiple generations either side of there own generation with the topics they raise in there music .. they never produced a shallow track or gap filler to finish off an album .. each track has a punch in the face impact written on a foundation of uncomfortable truth and facts .. backed up with a unique sound produced by intelligent musicians.

[@Ciclopea2]

This masterpiece should have waaay more views, it's fine tho, like an exclusive club for people with good taste from all over the world.

Remarkable song - incredible band and one of the most entertaining drummers ever: Rob Hirst.

[@cardice3193]

Remember travelling down to Birmingham England to see them live in the late 80's and being blown away by their performance so much, that the following day, I travelled down to London to watch them again. I've been blessed to see a lot of great legendary bands live, but I've never done that before, or in fact, since.

[@yogibarista2818]

"Truganini" remains one of their strongest statements on this subject area.

[@stevengottlieb3449]

Never forget that Peter Garrett and his bandmates defiantly stood on the Avenue of the Americas, and openly mocked the oil giant Exxon in front of its NYC building with their music for its horrific pollution of Prudhoe Bay (The Valdez) -- when no one else had the guts to say a word. They shut down the busiest city street in the world for an hour and excoriated the criminals, who would not come outside to face them.

[@skinnyernie7727]

they are gifted in so many ways. rhythmically. melodically, they are really good at 2 + melodies at a time. Their key changes are awesome! And to me, their tempo, key, riffs communicate precisely what is in the lyrics. The harmonica cuts glass. I guess you could say I'm a little blown away by them.

[@vicdillon6278]

Even before there was a Rage Against the Machine...there was the Midnight Oil fighting the good fight.

I just realized--the guitars do a quick swelled minor chord that cuts off, like the opening of "Roundabout" by Yes. Message: remember what's "Fragile" (the title of the Yes album). Our lives, our environments, our traditional cultures and languages.

[@kanekane1728]

What I find interesting about Midnight Oil is that for a band spanning from the 70's to the 2000's with the exception of about one song they never did a guitar solo similar to solos of that period.
