"My Dad died at the beginning of 2011 which coincided with the biggest floods Brisbane has seen. This was something that loomed pretty large for me over the whole writing period of 'Departures' and I suppose a song like this was bound to come out. The lyric is talking about the place in Brisbane where I grew up. Toowong, a near city suburb that my Dad also spent his childhood in and ended up being buried in, along with my older brother, who I now happen to be older than. " Bernard Fanning. Taken from the forthcoming new album 'Departures', out Friday 7 June.

I live in Toowong and I lost my father and brother when i was young. The floods came and we lost everything . The Mud Army formed and helped me . People say we have no culture up here but for every person who showed up with a broom and a mop was proof of the culture we have hear in Toowong . I feel yout loss Bernard I truly do .

mate,people call me a typical hardass truck driver who dont show my feelings,but this song my friend brought a tear to my eye...absolutely awesome.

@70zenboy 7 лет назад

sitting here at work listening to this over and over. missing my dad and crying like a mofo. very few artists can elicit this kind of emotion in me. Bernard you are one of the finest musicians i have ever had the pleasure to watch and listen to. the vulnerability and sentiment in this song is staggering. a masterpiece. thank you

Beautiful Bernard... great movies too. Memories of an innocent time x

I lost my dad in 2001 and my mum in 2009... Not a single days passes where I do not think of them... Their beauty and their unconditional love they had in their hearts for my sister and me. I miss them so... Thank you for sharing something so personal... It helps with the pain that is so gradually fading... but never the love we shared. Sincerest condolences about your father.

Still makes me cry. My younger Brother is my best mate. Feel for anyone who's lost theirs.. This song is a masterpiece of expression. Eternal.

Music/Songs are at there best when they are able to transcend the human experience and be something to everyone. Love, unrequited love lost, life, death the journey be it joyous or meloncollie we all live it. You Mr Fanning have a gift and should anyone chose to listen it's all laid bare in your songs I admire your bravery to expose those parts of yourself that most hold close and fail to share, Thank you.

Love the old home clips, the "beautiful truth". Cant listen without thinking of those family dearly departed. A real tribute and so Australian. Bernard YOU surround those of us that love YOU.

@benklatt5817 6 лет назад

I was lucky enough to see him perform this song a month or so ago in Toowoomba and Bernard's Mum was in the audience, was a great moment, for such a touching song.

My baby nephew passed away last year at the RBWH in Brisbane. Every time I hear this song I think of him and the life he could have led! Of all the concerts I have been to, not once have I shed a tear, but when I saw Bernard and his band perform this at Nambour on Sunday night I couldn't hold back! It was performed exactly how I pictured the live performance to be, haunting yet so beautiful harmonys, the light was focused on Bernard and he shone. Thank you for an amazing song and concert!

@picstavins Год назад

What a unique, stunning voice... makes you glad you are able to simply listen to such artistic brilliance - some make music... and some live it in your soul.. I dedicate this song to all you who hurt..all who hate the way your life has disappointed you time after time... for all your disillusionment and pain... let this beautiful song wash it in love...

Beautiful voice and song. I love how BF is so grounded and connected to his childhood and home. I lost my brother who was one year older (exactly!) a few years ago to illness and it's a scar that will mark my heart and soul forever. I still think of my beautiful brother every . single. day... Peace Bernard.

This song touches my heart so much, I wish I could talk to Bernard about his memories that bought him to write such beautiful words. A friend played it for my sister and I when she lost her loved one. I can not stop listening to the words. What an amazing artist he is. I feel blessed I have seen him live! xoxo

Remember hearing this in Nambour on a random evening Bernard. Then we `randomly caught the last gig in that tour at Siromet when you were basically a metal band. I thought you were going to play Thunderstruck for the encore. What is Life was an awesome surprise the first time though... Despite your musical journey as a band, and as people, this song remained still and sweet and aching though mate. Thanks. Kind of still keen to hear you do Thunderstruck though.

@jimnashdrums 10 лет назад

@simonclark953 11 лет назад

Bernard, you don't know me, or I you... Know only your music mate... Yet after hearing this song, the words, knowing the loss you sadly express here... I shed some tears & found myself blown away. possibly the most moving song I've heard. Turn 43 in September & have heard plenty... This was something that will reach so many, yet reflects great loss..
