Both these boys are more than capable alone and in combination of giving you a ballad that’ll give you goosebumps or a rock song that’ll have you head banging. Jimmy may have been a backup singer in this but he certainly showed off his vocal range belting and falsetto.. look forward to the rest of the week!

Some great ballads - 'Water into Wine' & 'Breakfast at Sweethearts' & Mossy singing 'Georgia' is out of this world good.

The whole of Circus Animals was superb, a fantastic album. There’s no way Jimmy can be expected to be able to sing at his best for decades, and most live stuff I see of his, especially from later years, you can tell that he’s lost some of the nuance whilst trying to belt out those incredible notes, but you still have to take your hat off to him. Do yourself a favour and have a listen to the studio version as well, it’s absolutely golden. Nice start to the week! Looking forward to the coming days!

Well done George and Alex for getting this track out of Block Jail. Although, I'm surprised that you guys, with your industry contacts and being award winning KZbinrs, aren't on more White lists. Must be an oversight. While it was initially saddening when the song got blocked, cutting Aussie Week Three down to just four tracks, the upside is that it has given us a special reminder of the type of talent we can look forward to in the upcoming Aussie Week Four. Kind of a win really. Thanks for reacting to a song that I think most Aussies would have well entrenched in their top 10 Pub Rock classics. Well done

Sorry to ambush an old post but just wanted to clarify the often misunderstood meaning behind this song. Its written about the breakup of a marriage but I believe songs take on their own meaning over time, and so the common belief this is about a returning soldier and his nervous anticipation back to a normal life makes sense...

I've heard When the War is Over many, many times, but never that version. It's just stunning. It probably hits a little differently when one has served as I have, but I'm certain it is none-the-less relatable to myriad circumstance. Musically, this version is a cut above. Vocally, if you get to hear John Farnham's cover, prepare to have your socks blown off. And if you happen to see this comment before watching Farnsey again - you mentioned his range and I did some research into this: it's near on three octaves. He's been recorded from A2 to G5. Belting. Without falsetto. Love your work, fellas.

Ian Moss/Jimmy Barnes, Chisel is probably the only band along with Queen that had 2 genuine front man quality singers who could harmonise like crazy and bring the best out of each other. Plus, these lyrics are crazy good. Whether it the album or a live version, it doesn't matter, it's always the same. Mossy brings this haunting resignation to Prestwidge's words, and Jimmy brings the pain.

Great song. A lot of debate has been had about the meaning, from coming back broken from a war, a marriage breakup or even coming home from gaol. All fit beautifully. You know you have a great band when the drummer comes up with a song as good as that. Nice to see him side by side with Mossy at the front of the stage. The also brilliant Bass player Phil Small can't be left out as he wrote one of their biggest hits 'My baby' sung by Moss. If you are gonna write a song for Chisel it better be good. Nice 80's sax in it too by Jo Camilleri (another legend from Jo Jo Zep and the Falcons).

When a war has gone on long enough, and a soldier is coming to the end of his tour of duty, he spends time in thought on how he can possibly avoid being injured or dying, before he can get to go home. Then he will have to find a place to heal himself of all the scars, visible or not. He is also thinking no-one will really "get" him after what he has seen and been through. All the best.

This is the greatest love song. Most love songs are about new couples. This is an older couple who have gotten to know all their partner's nuances and bad foibles and they're still there. They're in for the long haul. Not sure if a war is in but I think they're going through something and one day it's going to be fine.

This is a very stripped back version, quite different from the original that most people know. Both are great and the original is highly recommended as well.

I’ve always known it is about a relationship in turmoil, but never sure if the broken heart is not being stolen because they are patching things up for good, or he is leaving for good to save his heart. lol

The song describes how a traumatised war veteran feels when he finally comes home. Lost, disorientated and depressed. But although his spirit has been damaged, he's determined that no one is going to steal his heart.

No it doesn’t. It’s about the end of a relationship. The ‘war’ is metaphorical, not literal.

Art rarely has one interpretation. Listeners imbue songs with their own interpretations based on their own experiences and that’s as it should be.

@@kayelle8005 oh dear. A barthes devotee. You can interpret something however you want, but that doesn't mean your interpretation is correct. Especially when the intent and meaning of the song has been documented by its creator. The comment I replied to is almost exactly describing khe sanh, not this song.

@@kane29842 The thing about pieces of art, is that different people can derive different meaning from it depending on their personal perspective. Just because the songwriter and/or performer had a particular thought in mind does not mean the listener must also have that perception for them to be correct. It's art. Not an entrance exam. Imaginary Girl by Hunters and Collectors is that way for me. I have a very personal perception of that song which is far different from what the Hunters have said about it. Doesn't make me 'wrong' or 'incorrect'.

Seems to be a few muppets here that somehow think Farnham’s performance of this song is somehow ‘better’. It isn’t. As good as he is he cannot match the strange marriage of voices that is Mossy & Barnes. As good as he is, his version is just a vocal extravaganza, and lacks any of the raw pain and emotion conveyed here. It’s not about a literal war either, it’s about the end of a relationship and moving on.

As much as I prefer the Cold Chisel version much more.... it's silly to call people "Muppets" for having a personal preference. Might as well argue over what colour or ice cream flavour is better.

All 3 recorded 80’s versions are equally brilliant Ian Moss brings so much soul to original. * The original Chisel classic * The Little River Band version underrated brilliant . The songs songwriter Steve Prestwich even playing drums for LRB at this moment in time in 1985 . John Farnham’s vocals are at his strongest also that this moment LRB’s harmonies are pitch perfect . * John Farnham’s solo version more stripped back than the his LRB version but still a great interpretation with so much emotional deliverance .

Written by drummer Steve Prestwich, who died about 7-8 years ago....not sure, my memory for time isn't great, could be more recent. A Liverpudlian by birth, Prestwich wrote a few songs, including the beautiful "Forever Now." Most Chisel tracks were written, or at least part written by keyboardist Don Walker, a brilliant songwriter.
