Thirsty Merc - Emancipate Myself

[@Xtremejess]

If you ever get the chance to see them live DO IT!!! Best Live Act I've ever seen (twice thus far) in the last couple of years

[@warrencramer4516]

Agreed!! They've played a few times at my locals around Mornington and they just kick ass!!

[@craigmatthew5295]

Almost 12 years later and I'm just now hearing them? Gawd, these guys sound awesome.

[@benjaminodonnell258]

The song originally came out in 2004...

[@waldohpepper5884]

Same here! R.T is fabo, his solo work just as good.

[@fionamudie1703]

Amazing band. Used to follow them when I lived in Australia a long time ago. Quality!

[@leichhardt1962]

Great song. Very talented group. The music vid took all night to shoot - out in Parramatta if I remember...

[@lauraz5951]

Man, you guys were awesome. This song has such a stronger meaning now that im older. Love from The Gold Coast x

[@abbieconnie2012]

I remember hearing this on big brother in 2004

[@blucat4]

Another great song from this band that I just discovered tonight. This one sounds like the Foo Fighters. The guitarist is doing the Angus Young head bang. These are all good things. 🙂

[@thesausage351]

Damn man I remembering seeing Merc live when they toured for their first album, at the Toukley Beachcomber. Tiny little room packed tight, we were only a meter or so from the stage. It was awesome. Must be 15 years or more ago now.

[@jules7469]

hahaha the toukley beachcomber… what a classic

[@HonorGuard117]

These guys deserve international attention :(

[@charris939]

I clearly remember the first time I heard this song in 2004. My wife had been in Queensland for a week or so seeing her parents. Things had been ordinary between us for a while, and in the time that she was gone I happened to catch up with 2 different people on different days, they told me that they had seen my wife with another bloke. Then my secretary also said she had seen my wife walking down the street- very friendly! I had to drive to Canberra airport to pick her up, nothing was said apart from “Hi, did you have a good flight dear?”. “How’s the dog?” That was about it for a 2 hour drive home. Near Yass this song came on, I couldn’t believe it, it was saying all of the things I was thinking and wanted to say to her. It was a very awkward moment! It would have to be one of the most bitter breakup songs I’d ever heard but it had such an empowering effect on me! Thanks so much for writing it Rai!

[@1ihws]

Lol - that sounds like a long story of the rolling stones and “here come’s my nineteeth nervous breakdown”…which is another way of saying, you caught up to a couple of gossips, they did your head in, and this song is you “ear worm” from that moment! I remember when I first heard “twenty good reasons”, but I don’t think anyone on youtube cares!!!

[@MarceloLaraM]

great powerfull song! and yes, success is a state of mind, just get used to it... simple truth

[@bnwag]

no stone left unturned

[@thesatanicchef]

FUCK'N KILLER!!! The birth of Michael Albatross! I wish more "Thirsty Merc" were like this one. There all really well written pop/rock songs. But a little too commercial for my taste. But none the less, Kudos boys. I see the forest from the tree's..... \ ,, /

[@AIM80Tpop]

[@JaZzA136]

@GideonSawyer I was going to say the same thing!

[@aaaaplay]

Any one notice the General Electric logo?

[@jumunjiplayer08]

[@80SGB]

Good on you!

[@jakeseymour2484]

I’m 28 and this jam popped into my head, I was shocked it only had 160K~ views, when I was your age they definitely caught all our attention. Stay true to your taste and share it with your mates!

[@JamesJimmaHarding]

Rai reminds me of Robin Thicke from around that time

@lizpopp my eleven year old nephew has a much more respectable one, rather then this embarrassing facial hair equivalent of a comb over

[@Aaron9581]

Love them, definitely not their best song.
