This is the most timeless Aussie classic of all time, literally teleports me to a time that doesn't exist anymore

I had the biggest crush on Matt when I was in high school back in the 90’s…this song and this band gives me warm, fuzzy, nostalgic feelings…The Mavis’s and Recovery ❤❤❤❤. All of us teenagers of the 90’s (full of angst) were so lucky…brilliant music…no censorship…no toxic social media…good times ❤️❤️❤️

[@DavidJHilt]

I have to laugh, the Mavis's went to my high school. Even after they left, the librarian there (a nice old guy) would put posters up for their gigs on the notice board just outside the library!

[@DavidM-dm8on]

That is so nice 😊

[@dioncampbell2344]

That is fanTAStic!!!!!!!!!!! I had a crush on Matt when I was fifteen, saw them at the Kylie concert, wow, it was sensational!!!

Your librarian was FANTASTIC!!!!!!!!

[@jessicaelizabeth2992]

Haha that’s awesome

[@shanesthief]

Heard this in my local supermarket today it was halfway through the song and frantically thinking what's the name of this fucking group i just remembered it before the song finished. Haven't heard this in 20 years or so such a fucking fantastic song and i did have a tear by the end of it. That's why im here

[@JamesJimmaHarding]

The pre-Idol years were the best time for Aussie music 🇭🇲🎶🇦🇺

[@darkbunglex]

Love this song, it washes me away to a time where life, love, emotion was still new and powerful. This band gave my mate and me free tickets to see them open for Bush when they were supporting Bush for their Melbourne (or Aussie) leg. I never met them, my mate knew them somehow and I lucked out as a massive Bush fan back then. I as in a bad place back then and I was so lucky that a thousand kind/selfless acts came my way some by chance and some intentionally by friends. All together they saved my life, and sadly I never got to thank many of those people. That was one of a few trips around Australia mates financed to help me. Reflecting now, i can't believe how lucky I was to always have amazing people around me. People far better than I deserved.

[@grantharrismusic]

You can thank all those people by helping others in similar situations. It’s how abundance spreads throughout the universe.

[@dioncampbell2344]

Why not! Great that people helped you. I don't know how you can say that anyone deserves anything really, circumstances are such powerful currents in people's lives

[@darkbunglex]

@Dion Campbell Thx for the reply! I think I agree that no one "deserves anything. I changed way I framed my life after I turned 30. From feeling sad that I was one of the unluckiest 10% of Aussies TO how lucky I am to have been born in Australia and in current time. Healthcare, safe living, clean water, healthy food, opportunity etc. Now I always count my blessings most when sh!t goes wrong

[@darkbunglex]

@@grantharrismusic Thx for reply Grant. I like sound of the word "abundance"

[@darkbunglex]

Wow a lot of people read my ranting comment. Cheers, I added I was just writing to myself lol. KZbin's comments have gotten so bad - Full of spam - Hard to navigate to interesting comments - Not used anywhere near as much anymore. So 44 up-votes on a long diatribe is like getting 300 up-votes back 10yrs ago

[@KodieTheAussieBrony94]

My dad must've heard this on the radio in his ute, because when he was home later that day, he couldn't stop whistling the tune to it and it drove my stepmum nuts. I asked him what the name of the song and band was, then I searched this up on KZbin not very long after and now I like the song Thanks, Dad. Love ya

[@3003mmc]

One of Australias greatest ever songs. A classic!

[@jamesr2547]

Get a grip, it is a winning piece of very slight, extremely derivative and disposable crap.

[@jasonlee7816]

why is it derivative crap? what are they copying?? who are they imitating??

[@jasonlee7816]

why is it disposable crap?

[@jasonlee7816]

+Martin Cee me thinks James R is an imbecile he must be too dumb to give reasons why it crap

[@jamesr2547]

That was probably a little unfair, this song is ok. As far as being derivative goes, the part that severely irritates me personally is the ELO style elements of the production. Calling pop music derivative is actually rather trite and meaningless because it all is. That accusation could be leveled at literally any pop artist or song.

[@KodieTheAussieBrony94]

One of my Dad's favourite songs ever and he was 40 when it was released. Me, I was only 3. Listened to it after months again and still one of the best songs ever to be recorded and I still love it so much

Finally! - After looking for this song for some 20 years, I found it (I discovered their old cd laying around my house) - I'm 36 now, but even when I hummed this tune, or had a crack the lyrics, no one knew what I was talking about. This was a real gem when it came out and I was a kid - I really liked it! Great to hear it again... Another great, relativly unknown aussie band, from back in the day aussies would produce some great music.

[@dougcoxon5472]

Such a great Aussie track, always makes me feel! Can’t believe it never became an international smash hit!

What a fantastic pop song, one that gets you feeling okay about yourself! The Mavis's remind me a little bit of The Eurogliders, both great combinations of men & women in the band & they genuinely looked like they were having fun making great music!

I feel very fortunate to have grown up in that time - was a great time in itself for music but we also had the best of the 70s and 80s to enjoy at our fingertips with the advent of the internet as a delivery mechanism. The future is looking pretty bleak at the moment - rise of the hard right all over the world, little girls getting blown up at arianna grande concerts, no hope of owning a home, trump and kim shaking their dicks at each other, automation about to eat up all the jobs and the embargo on autonomous robot soldiers is going to expire in
