Robert Forster - Baby Stones HD

[@marcytaustine8772]

Someone I hurt very badly once put this on a mix for me. He passed away recently and I came here searching for this song. Brilliant and heartbreaking

[@hide3reptiles365]

lyrics on-point for you? He seems to hava passed early.

[@joseblanco7696]

one of my fav songs i picked this when i was DJ

[@bad80shair]

Has to be one of the best opening verses in songwriting history.

[@threecorneredvoid]

The mordant lyricism with that almost unseemly combination of lugubrious pride and self-deprecation … my God … Glad I found this anyway. I saw it on Rage decades ago and it stuck with me.

When I was a teeenager, I used to have tv set on all the time until that video was released, and because that song was repeated very often, I was stuck to the tv most of the time those days. Wonderful time and charming Robert Forster and his declamation and voice .

[@pedrocoentro2009]

i got to know this song from a compilation from beggar´s banquet record label circa 1991 "The collection Beggar´s Banquet". lovely tune

[@JCridford]

Robert's eyebrow shuffles can make any woman (or man, for that matter) melt, and what poetry in those lyrics :-) J x

[@townesforever]

Wow! Didn't even know this existed. I played the shit out of this album back in the day. Thanks so much!

[@johangaudissabois8668]

late answer : this beautiful song is a track of Robert's first brilliant solo album DANGER IN THE PAST..

[@simoncobcroft9006]

Germanic and Germane to the fact that chords and courtship often involve rubble and ruin. And played on a road stretching to a highway of giant, gigtastic, quarried gems by Brisbane's finest quixotic quarry man - Mr Robert Forster.

[@oluckyman]

Big call, I know, but this song is RF's greatest masterpiece.

[@andyking7621]

this or "Draining the pool for you"

[@Searchandpreserve]

Yes, but there are so many many others - incedible songsmith!

[@Raspadora]

Have always loved this, thanks for the post.

[@kathades]

The song is from an album called Danger In The Past.

[@alcy0ne1]

ahhh!!! his expressions!!!

[@andreaneilcmc]

"I am an unfortunate man!!" Ain't we all??

[@MaxVoltage]

Cool Vid, one of RF's finest

[@han444]

"Intermission" is in print. I just bought it.

[@transonicbuoy1]

Reminds me of R.Forster. BOB, IF YOU SEE THIS, MY DOOR'S OPEN IN JAPAN.

[@flamingopink2288]

Listening to this again, and again, and again. reminds me of lou reed. which is a very good thing.

[@lutheringram]

@holo9 its from danger in the past, his first solo output with mick harvey & tom wydler of the bad seeds

[@Timmybear]

It's on DANGER IN THE PAST, but it's out of print. There is, in existence, a two-CD set called INTERMISSION, with the best of Robert and Grant's solo records to that date, but I'm not sure if IT'S in print either (it was said to be limited - but, given the sales of Go-Betweens and the lads' solo stuff, might still be kicking around...).

[@holo9]

I love Robert and this song!!! Could someone thell me in which album is this, please?

[@Lipz101]

Reminds me of R.E.M.

[@han444]

Danger in the Past

[@skl31]

hey guys what's the title of the album this tune is from?

[@TheFibtastic]

Why in God's name is Julie Andrews bleeding through the left channel of this wonderful song? It's certainly not part of the original. The whole RF album is fantastic, by the way.

[@TheFibtastic]

Once more without Julie Andrews in the left channel, please?

[@skrinkle2000]

am i the only one hearing julie andrews in the background????!!!! ugh

[@Bry____]

no ur not, a bunch of these videos have talking in the left ear. its weird.

[@user-ys3qq6rf6z]

Nothing special
