No one ever mentions this in the ‘greatest’ conversation. I don’t understand why. This f’n song is one of the greatest Australian songs ever written. After almost 30 years of listening to it, it still smashes me and hits with melancholy and joy all at once.

@70zenboy7 жыл бұрын
oink ooink because music can be very much a subjective thing rather than a objective one. If old mate reckless no its one of the best rock songs ever written then he is perfectly valid in holding that opinion. Anyone who loved and still lives this band may well agree with him.

This was just released when I moved to Australia, only got back to the USA a few years ago. I went to several U am I shows fortunately. One at the 'Alex' on the sunny coast way before it was demolished and became a bunch of units. Playing a few gigs at the blue bar there afterwards myself. My son earned his wings as a chef in the same spot, and now he's got his own restaurant in Dickey Beach 'Nicks pizza' memories are great from this area. Great times!

Great to see this band are getting more exposure here on the 'tube. I was lucky enough to see them live a few times back in the late 90's - early 00's. Privileged is probably a better word than lucky. They were absolutely amazing live, no video or live recording of a live show can convey how much energy You Am I put out on stage. Even on a Wednesday night in front of uni students in Wagga. Some of the best times in my life.
@Andrew-fw6pj6 ай бұрын
And they’ve gone from strength to strength. Better musically now than ever. Constantly evolving while remaining as stoic and loyal as ever to their long-term fan base. Tim will be producing music for another 20-30 plus years and it will still be brilliant. We ain’t seen the best of them yet… Rusty, Davey and Andy are machines. So damn good.

Had a scratch only you could itch Underneath the Glebe Point Bridge And now every boy in a knitted vest Has got some precedent So we took a personality pill And something red to swill And now every fire has gone out in every heart that wanted to kill Let's call it a day Every thought that once had a sound We'll have to hide 'til no one is around 'cause there ain't no room in the city today For explanations that you just can't say Found out what shame can mean In purple sneakers and grey jeans And every walked to a school that once made sense Sure felt like an accident Let's call it a day For every trouble you found There's a drink to lose it and drown But do you need somebody, to feel somebody? Every day that once had a sound We'll have to hide 'til no one is in town I don't hate I just feel better When no one else is around So we'll take a personality pill And something red to swill And now every fire has gone out i every heart that wanted to kill Let's call it a day For every trouble you found There's a drink to lose it and drown But do you need somebody, to feel somebody? You can shave a million ways To make damn sure that the twelve in you stays But do you need somebody, to feel somebody?

7 months late, but the comment must be made. Nice to know the rest of the world now has access to these great tracks available to me back in the mid 90s in Australia when I was a teen. The truth is, things like this are everywhere, you just have to keep an year out and hate everything that sounds crap! But don't bag th US - these guys would have been nothing if they didn't play in the same festival as Sonic Youth, a US band. It was Lee Renaldo who heard them and decided to produce for them.
