one of my very favorite songs of all time

[@OnceWasRStrathfield]

I'm still happy to say that my music and record collection was cleared out by Marty Wilson Piper (guitarist in red shirt on right). He came over to my flat about 10 years ago, and was happy to take every musical thing I had. They're now safely at Marty Willson Piper's In Deep Music Archive in Cornwall, England (I think). Cool guy!

[@ghichens3418]

I live in Cornwall , I will check that out , If you can send any more details that would be spliffic ,cheers

one of the best Aussie songs ever from the golden 70s-80s in Australian music.

[@PhalseProfit13]

1 of most iconic 80s rock songs ever

[@davidellis5141]

I worked for Arista Records in the 80's & when The Church finally had a hit with Under The Milkyway & the album Starfish it was so well deserved. I was awarded a Gold Album for my work promoting the album & its a prized possession. They were a great band & you should check out When You Were Mine from their second album. Amazing this song is over 40 years old !

[@NickJewlachow-of3yh]

You are totally right. Steve Kilbey was a huge Bowie fan. This was my introduction to The Church, 43 years ago this month. Starting Year 7 at high school, off the bus in the afternoon to hide in my bedroom. Put on radio 2NX and heard this.

[@antipodean_antonette]

Under The Milky Way, Reptile, Memories In Present Tense, I Am A Rock (yep, that song), Constant In Opal, You're Still Beautiful, You Took, When You Were Mine, Tear It All Away, Two Places At Once and Too Fast For You .. all good songs

[@darkmantis69]

She was so lost esp when the solo hit. Yes the harmony got you girl lol ❤

[@MrToryhere]

I was once very good friends with the bloke who is described in the last verse of this song as having the hands that don’t make me hang. The story is that Steve Kilby, the lead singer of the Church, had been in a band with a few others from his native city of Canberra. He had a dispute with some of the members of that band and was asked to leave. Unguarded Moment was Kilbey’s way of dealing with that. The first verse talks about the girlfriend of one of the band members who used to crack jokes at Kilbey’s expense. The second verse deals with the lead guitarist in the band who had been kicked in the chest by a horse when young and was the one who was instrumental in getting Kilbey’s kicked out of the band. The third verse is about my friend who was the band’s bass player, who didn’t come to Kilbey’s defence when the others were plotting to get rid of him. My friend and Kilbey’s later reconciled. This meant that my friend could take me backstage a Church concert or two back in the early days.

[@demolitiongirl-ie2rx]

Checking the Oz Rock, huh? Keep it up! Steve and the boys have some real jangle gems: Ripple, Almost With You, Under The Milky Way

[@tiki-turin]

I remember this appearing on the jukebox at our local pub (Charles Hotel in Fairy Meadow) in Wollongong Australia and loved playing it , saw them live later at Tanelorn festival in I think 1981 or 82 which was near Newcastle in a place called Stroud , good times

[@bloffs3352]

Fell in love with these jangly paisley clad boys way back then. First five albums and the E.P's are so good and many great songs and albums followed. Another Australian musical national treasure for those that know The Church

[@trufflehund]

The live set at the Sydney Opera House with the George Ellis Orchestra in 2011 is magical. Reworking songs like Metropolis, Almost With You, Myrrh and Tantalised as more mature players who understand the possibilities in their own music is a joy to behold. Tantalised is long but epic and exciting like the William Tell overture. It is frantic. raucous, energetic, out of control and has the orchestra right into it.

[@tonywood8755]

First heard this 40 years ago when I met a friend on holiday and he had the cassette on his Walkman. Still my favourite all time song

Suzie and the banshees were great

[@liveitup67]

I don't have much to say except it was a great song, it was great seeing them do it on Countdown and it was great seeing them do live shows with Sunnyboys. Tear It All Away, Too Fast For You, Bel-Air and Almost With You were other popular Church songs at the time that you might want to try. ''Alone With You'' by Sunnyboys will always remind me of my first boyfriend. All mentioned I recommend.

[@I_was_a_Countdown_Kid-75-83]

Us Countdown kids tied The Church with The Sunnyboys and for some reason, I still subconsciously see both bands as being of the same ilk. Gillian and I crushed on Steve Kilbey and Marty Willson-Piper of The Church before we noticed that their drummer was close to our age and was also cute. Then The Sunnyboys popped out and like sisters do, we crushed on Jeremy Oxley of The Sunnyboys and were upset that he was 19 and we were still under the legal age. For the Sunnyboys, try out the official video for ''You Need A Friend''. It's six minutes long with some weirdness added to it, but worth viewing. I would also recommend Alone With You and Happy Man. The Angels were closer to AC/DC than The Church and Sunnyboys, and I might leave it up to others to recommend their songs. Cheers, Hayley

[@gfstephen]

I agree with your Beatles comment I also think the riff if very similar to Ticket To Ride.

[@OnceWasRStrathfield]

Church leadman, Steve Kilbey, has two talented brothers who were in their own bands. The Bhagavad Guitars and Crystal Set. I suggest these two. Crystal Set - The Benefit Of The Doubt nzoz1986 [take note: Russell Kilbey singer - brother of Steve from The Church] The Bhagavad Guitars - We Haven't Arrived nzoz1988 [take note: John Kilbey singer/guitarist - brother of Steve from The Church]

I'm keen to see a reaction to that Crystal Set song. I had the single, and thought Russell was so cute. The Bhagavads were just a bit too indie for my liking.

[@Sandy-dd4le]

Great band, they were one of those Australian acts that were relatively big in the UK at the time....in a kind of indie band way Fine purveyors of the Rickenbacker Jangle! They always reminded me of some of the Paisley Underground scene bands, ...which is not so far away from the Dunedin sound.

[@OnceWasRStrathfield]

Dunedin sound! You're onto something there.

[@Sandy-dd4le]

@@OnceWasRStrathfield I've always been fascinated that two seperate scenes could happen at much the same time, in different areas of the world, and have so much in common. I expect you know more about Dunedin than I, but if you haven't had a look at Paisley Underground, it's worth it. If you like the Dunedin stuff, you'll enjoy at least some of it. A note for Chris!....Prince was a fan of the Paisley Underground!...there's a connection with Paisley Park, he signed one or two of the Paisley bands to his label, and wrote Manic Monday for The Bangles, who were originally a Paisley Underground band.....the whole scene is well worth a look, The Bangles, The Dream Syndicate, Green On Red, The Three O'clock, you can also include The Long Ryders and Big Star. Plus a whole load of side bands that various members of the above were in with each other. Its a very incestuous little scene, kind of a mix of the DIY Punk thinking and classic sixties in some ways.

[@OnceWasRStrathfield]

@@Sandy-dd4le It is quite interesting that two scenes separated by oceans could still come up with similar results. I am aware of the Paisley Underground, and the groups that came with that scene. I think The Church has a foot in that scene too. Funny enough, Rage (a music show in Australia) played an old Three O'Clock video a few weeks ago. Check out the bands that were featured Steve Kilbey's brothers: Crystal Set (Benefit Of The Doubt) and The Bhagavad Guitars (We Haven't Arrived)

Well done for picking this one! This was their first hit single which means you've started at a pretty good place. The Church are one of my all-time favourite bands. I have all their albums, including solo releases and side projects. The band have 25 studio albums with the new release being The Hypnogogue (a prog-rock album). Although they were a credible live band in Sydney, they were tarnished as a Countdown band in the early days, and us Countdown kids took to them and pushed ''The Unguarded Moment'' into the Australian charts. You two would have to know this one: The Church - Under The Milky Way (Official Music Video) [HD Upgrade]

[@mitchellbeston1033]

Australia's poppy bands in the 80s were a lot more rock n roll than the pop bands around the world at the time. More Sunny Boys...Tunnel of my Love...this is early The Church when their sound was a bit more punk rock/ alternative. Later their sound became more acoustic sounding but they remained very unique throughout their career and were bigger in the USA than Australia. Mood music but they never get it wrong...great band...these Aussie bands existed as pub bands for decades because their music was just so good.

[@brettfrench6121]

On September 13, 1954 two boys by the name of Steve were born on different sides of the planet. One Steve was born in Australia, and the other born in England. The latter would move to Australia as a 10 pound pom. Both Steves would get into music and would eventually form successful bands. The Aussie Steve would form and front The Sports, and the English Steve would form and front The Church. In 1998, both Steves would meet and begin working together. English-born Steve Kilbey would work on Australian-born Stephen Cummings' solo album _Escapist_ while being high as a kite. Stephen Cummings would bitterly bitch about it in his 2009 autobiography _Will It Be Funny Tomorrow, Billy_ and I believe Steve Kilbey responded with something like ''I probably was!''. That's all! Church songs to check out: Almost With You, Tear It All Away, Tantalized, Under The Milky Way, Two Places At Once, Youth Worshipper

[@home8630]

You are missing the point of the song. We were before our time. We didn't realise we were singing the future as well. The point of our music, was to sing about what bothered us, what we cared about, what needed to be brought to life. It was never about the technical side of music, or what sort of voice each person had, its more about tone of voice, and to get heard. Our nation was and still is a silent nation whose voice was silenced. The ones the world refuses to listen to, and prefers to forget. We were not heard in the spoken, definitely heard in the silence and remembered, as we communicated to each other through the silence, through our music, and what could not be spoken could be sung. When you say nothing about the lyrics, does a deservice to the song, writing and our generation. We want our children to remember about us, we want them to remember our truth and who we are, who we were not. To stay true to hear we are, no matter who and what tries to silence us. We will always sing about what matters, what is deep and meaningful but more importantly the truth...."telll those girls with rifles for mind....tell those men with horses for hearts.....Tell those friends with cameras for eyes" Tell them is what is important.
