I lived in Fitzroy for 10 years. I love watching the scene, like the Tote. There is nothing more special than the lyrics and the heartfelt emotion that this song brings me. Goosebumps of the best kind. Thank you Dan 😽
Oh i still think Dan is the handsomest man on the planet!! He's still got that swagger too! I've been following Dan Sultan since his first album, and wow... just keeps getting better
Old Fitzroy & Fitzroy now. This video gives a great walk through the central to southern end of town; south of Johnson Street & around Brunswick & Gertrude Streets. I think of the families I know who are part of this community and take note of a share-house that I once lived in, which Dan walks past.Cheers!
Great song and music video - Dan Sultan you are a truly authentic artist. Always enjoy your live performances. So pleased you did this at the end of the set of Twilight at Taronga recently!!!! Can't wait to see you at the Opera House in Sydney at your next show there. Please do Old Fitzroy when you perform there!!!
Dan Saultan.... what a great song, you are a rare talent. Keep up the great work, you deserve an Aria!! I would love to see you and Busby Marou on the same bill one day!!
Love this song, my fave by Dan so far :-) Got to see him live first time last night at the Tivoli with Paul Kelly & the Merri Soul Sessions - had such a great night! Thanks PK for introducing me to some great new Aussie talents.
met Dan at blues fest 2013 ( friend house hill top ?early morning) did not now who he was he just held a guitar and sang . what a great song why don't we hear it on radio etc
Thanks brings memories, people I'd meet in Melbourne.Fitzroy flats, Finding family. what is it to be Australian Indigenous Australian in the 80's. Great times, sad times. Special connections.Thanks.
I want to say something clever but all I can say is LOVE YOU FITZROY! Great song - perfect filming - Verve meets the antipodes. Hang in there Fitzroy your time will come!
Just give Dan the SINGLE OF THE YEAR ARIA right now!!...forget the politics, this is an incredibly crafted song and video...the word I'm thinking of is..... Real. Keep writing Dan, you have an astounding voice that needs to be heard.
yea!!! I made this 100 views...Dan Rox What a talent>>>Saw him recently in a great bush setting was one of my best music experiences in a long time , Hope he does really well . Thanks for the great songs!!
Don't get me wrong, i love the song but does anyone else notice that the chord structure and vocal melody sounds a lot like 'shark fin blues' by the drones?
Beautiful song, but hearing it on Rage tonite, hubby picked up that the tune sounds VERY similar to "The Wreck of The Old Fitzgerald" by Gordon Lightfoot and when we played that song for son, he agreed it sounds like the same tune.
I suppose it would sound like "Edmund Fitzgerald" if you were tone deaf. Jesus wept, everytime one of us Blakfella do something great there are people like you tryin to kick us back down again. I am well acquainted with Gordon Lightfoot's work and it bears no comparison with young Dans work on this track, or on any other he has made.
I know this is a late reply Garry but I'd agree with you as it's a far stretch to claim any resemblance to Gordon's song. While the chord progressions may bare some similarity, the arrangement is totally different. Dan Sultan created an achingly beautiful heartfelt masterpiece with this song! Dan is an amazing talent:)
