Another one from the archives and many thanks to Michael Duckworth for sending this to me.
Probably 1993.
The video was missing the first 16 seconds so I edited in some random footage at the start but the vision is correct after that. I laid up a fresh audio track so it should sound fine.
I wrote this song about what was happening in world at the time.
Sadly, in the 20 years that have passed, nothing much has changed.
We weren't taking sides, we were just horrified.
The proceeds went to charity.
Phil Buckle.

So relevant for NOW and in the past. You blokes are consumate musicians as we all know. I wish that you all were household names worldwide. Very moving song. I remember buying this as I did with all the albums. Elementary still gets played regularly 🔨🥁🦘🙏

[@belindaestrada5651]

I miss my cassette tape where this song was included😁Jack Jones❤Great song👍👍👍👍

[@poppsy69]

this song should have done so much better in the charts...I remember buying the CD and playing on repeat for days... brilliant Phil. Should get the band back together for a reunion cd, rock it up a bit... I'd buy that ;)

[@danuber5559]

Good for you. I'm trying to get this album too. Fuck Itunes.

[@Bluetooth_ez]

Still got my CD's... still on repeat

[@Bluetooth_ez]

Such a powerful song. Thanks Phil. Still listening to it in 2023.

[@jackelbrash3444]

We need this band back, have missed you for too long :(

[@duckoes1ducky779]

The band of my youth! I learnt so much from their albums and listened intently to all that they produced. Australia's own ToTo

[@mrtrusty101]

Great song from a bloody great band, bunch of legends then and now..

[@unemarveilleusejournee4943]

Absolutely beautiful. These sentiments are so important and should be heard and digested and embraced by all of us who are the silent witnesses. Quite heartbreaking really.

[@brunoBEGARANI-kx2ey]

Beautiful song❤This world is crazy

[@rivajstudio]

One of the beautiful things from my past. Very powerful lyrics.

[@MultiClarkekent]

One of my favourite Southern Son's songs.First met Jack ( Irwin )back when he was playing in a cover band in the Latrobe Valley thru my elder brother, Lee. Caught up with him when Southern Sons where touring with John Farhnam on the " Chain Reaction" tour when we did the Instore at Brashs Hay st mall in Perth 1990. Love your work on Chain Reaction album too Phil Buckle.

Great sons don’t date. This is a great song. Great writing and great delivery, powerful combination.

[@brianarbuckle1698]

Wow - funny how songs from years past can become so relevant at current times -

[@mariaangelitajaucian9070]

We keep singing the songs of the past. They are obviously far more meaningful and substantial than the songs of today.

[@retro4454]

put this on spotify, i beg of you

[@brunoBEGARANI-kx2ey]

Beautiful song❤This world is crazy,sad réalité,humans like violence,wars,blood,don't understand why sometimes???

When war mongers rages, this song always reminds me of suffering children and family.

I've got all the albums and other songs released by Southern Son's and the album released by "The State" prior to Irwin Thomas joining the band as the lead singer and this is one of my favorites songs the band released.

[@agradevil8461]

Can someone write down the lyric here...??? Cant quite catch what he is saying...

[@jasonremo9079]

can someone help with the lyrics? i couldn’t make up some of the words. thank u in advance

[@justlinsu]

This is so apt right now for the precious children and their parents who are fleeing from Ukraine. Lyrics are so true....breaks ones heart to know that this kind of war can still be happening in our so called peaceful world.

[@edenmn2381]

Hello Mr Buckle...is there any chance we can have " Pretend "...? Greetings from Malaysia , Dec 2018....!

[@philbuckle]

Hi Eden. Unfortunately no. That song was only released in the Asian market as a single I think. I don't actually have a copy of it myself!

[@edenmn2381]

@@philbuckle Thank you for your reply Mr Buckle... Tqvm too to Southern Sons for the music...!

[@filterscape]

Great song. Which war and refugee crisis was this referencing. There have been so many in recent history ?

[@philbuckle]

Balkan War 1990.

[@filterscape]

@@philbuckle an absolute travesty. Thank you for sharing this beautiful song in honour of those silent witnesses.

[@Looshbaby]

ahhh thats better

[@davefrancis4529]

Why are southern sons not available on digital platforms like iTunes and google music? Is it because the name?

[@philbuckle]

Buy Cd's or LP's. Support the Artists. Streaming sucks. The music is never yours

[@davefrancis4529]

@@danuber5559 I have them all but barely a device to play them on. I also like it almost exclusively to recommend to friends or colleagues that enjoy amazing music. It’s a missed opportunity to not have streaming options to grow their audience and fan base.

[@coolcattune]

All albums are now available to stream on Spotify :)

[@danuber5559]

Itunes, spotify, deezer sucks. Buy CD or LP. Support the Artists
