PAUL KELLY - HOW TO MAKE GRAVY REACTION

[@lbd-po7cl]

Australia’s greatest songwriter. He can make you both tear up and laugh within the same verse. Dec 21 is semi-officially “How to make gravy day” here in Aus due to this song.

This song structure is unusual in that it is in the form of a letter from a prisoner to his loved ones at Christmas. It includes the recipe for his gravy within that letter. Paul Kelly is a brilliant song writer. Always makes me tear up.

The most realistic and beautiful Christmas song. Breaks my heart every time I sing it.

[@TheJason2705]

The quintessential Australian Christmas song. A prisoner writing home at Christmas, sharing his Gravy recipe.

You should check out the 2021 version when in the middle of Covid people were in lockdown and couldn't see family. Much like Dan in the song we were locked away and missing our loved ones.

Thanks for reacting to Paul Kelly a great Australian song writer and poet . You got the meaning of the song .. he’s in jail and he would make the Christmas gravy!

gravy day (21/12) is always special. mr paul kelly graces us with his presence on triple m radio (104.5 - brisbane - for us) 😀 he natters / reflects about the year (touring) about the coming years plans and plays his favourite tunes. 😄 it’s a hoot / blast.! 😆 ✌🏻🌏🇦🇺🤘🏻

This is for the people who arent there at Christmas, and all those we miss.

The late, great Spencer P. Jones on lap steel. Our old drummer had toured with Spencer's band The Escape Committee. They went through an airport and apparently the staff recognised him and said "hand it over Spence, and we won't get the Beagle involved" and he just handed over a small pile of drugs rather than get charged. According to Paul Kelly in his autobiography, called........ "How to make Gravy", Paul says that Joe, the feller in prison in this song is the same man as in "Too Her Door" and "Love Never Runs On Time".

22nd December now. Perfect. Love your reaction all the way through without your having to say anything.

[@anEyePhil]

100 degrees on Christmas Day. Welcome to Australia!

[@tomfrombrunswick7571]

This started out as a sort of B side. It was an inclusion in one of his albums. However it has a life that has lasted after his more up tempo songs like Beggar on a a Street called Love and To her door. Kelly is a great story teller.

[@nnoddy8161]

Check out this COVID version. Australia's unofficial Christmas song!

[@brendoncrofts6714]

Must do covid version it will pull on your heart strings

[@DavidPola1961]

Yeap its Gravy Day on Thursday

[@daciousinoz6028]

This song is now to be made into a film. I'm so glad you've gone down the Paul Kelky rabbit hole. Just be warned. Its a long but very fruitful one. He's one with the lot. He sings love songs, social justice songs. Domestic violence. Indigenous rights. Dumb Things Sweet Guy Deeper Water Before Too Long To Her Door This is an early hit, an ode to Melbourne, his home city showing the MCG and skyline. Nylex the company went years ago but the sign is now National Trust and still there with the temp in Celsius. kzbin.info/www/bejne/fKXdiqSdntqGetEsi=e0qmFZddKXmt39cx

The 21st Chezza, the 21st of December.

[@iainshearer6959]

Nice reaction! Loved it when you suddenly realised he might be in jail. Watch this one, this is Paul Kelly’s TED talk where he explains the story behind him making this song. kzbin.info/www/bejne/hqnYmIGmhZiYa9Usi=kq2y7EPiOdIaS_vC
