Midnight Oil - Outbreak Of Love 

I remember 1993 (when the song was released) was one of the worst years of my life. My dad died, I had broke my engagement I hated the direction of my life, etc. I remember hearing this song on my car radio on "new release day" on the way to a job that I hated, and it hit me like a ton of bricks. The mood, the lyrics, everything. I still have trouble listening to this song without being flooded with an ocean of different emotions. But one thing I learned, nothing bad lasts forever. Thank God.

That song was written by the band's drummer, Rob Hirst. He wrote a masterpiece. Great song Rob. You deserve more recognition.

Midnight Oil's most underrated & under-appreciated song. A great shame as I think this is one of their best.

One of he best bands in the world, timeless!!!

One of the greatest songs ever from one of the greatest bands in the world!

Highly underrated band; they should have had more success internationally than they did, especially in the US...

RIP Bones. Unmistakable. His fingerprints are all over this album and Breathe. EASAM is a sun drenched, psychedelic and groove heavy record. From Bones' opening bassline it's brilliant. If pressed I would probably say this is the best Oils album, though they have many incredible albums.

This is such a beautiful song. I saw Midnight Oil in Sydney, Australia back in 1979. They were outstanding, even in the beginning.

This is my favorite song by any band.

Have loved this band forever. So glad they have an upcoming show in Boston. Outbreak of Love is one of my all time favorites. Rising Seas is for anyone who cares about our planet. Midnight Oil has continued to tackle political and social issues and they completely rock.

Wonderful band. Sensational music masterpiece. Thanks Midnight Oil !

Peter is a great singer, smart man and is the charismatic character of the band but do not forget the equally talented musicians. I find a lot in common with U2. In this song may be a nod to Churchill's speech in 1942: "This is not the end. It is not even the beginning of the end. But, it may be the end of the beginning." (Churchill November 10th 1942). Midnight Oil love for ever.

Perfeita harmonia entre vocal coro e instrumentos. Umas das melhores dos anos 90.

This song means too much for those people that have love in heart

Definitely their best song ever. I dig it.

I Love this song! It reminds me of Sowing the seeds of Love.

One of the most beautiful songs from Midnight Oil.

The instrumental organ break is electrifying. The colors of the video are gorgeous. Masterpiece

Depois de 20 anos finalmente eu consegui ouvir novamente esse som! Tks my friend🤘

Totally underated song. It's one of my favorite songs. It always get 'top volume' in my car.....

For me, they are singing about the end of the idealism of the '60s. This is why there is such a melancholy pull, to be honest, it breaks my heart. It pulled me under ( as with Peter out in the water ) at first listen, and it still does - it's timeless. ❤ ....Peace

This has always been my favourite Oils tune - alongside "Tin Legs & Tin Mines" - it's a flawless juxtaposition of silly smooth funkiness and sobering sinister undertones. "It's the end of the beginning of the outbreak of love"...

Without a doubt, my favorite song by this band.

Banda foda em tds os sentidos,ainda mais em consciências básicas em nosso planeta❤️👏🏿👏🏿

Groovetastic!!! ... This would be a great live song with accompanying Psychedelic lighting!

I sure remember when this video came out on the MTV here in Brazil. It was amazing to see how colorful it was back then, it is amazing to see how fast time goes. Love from Brazil 🇧🇷❤️🙏🤙

I love this track. When I first heard the album, this was the track I latched onto. Love this band, always lyrically powerful and visually arresting.

If they were an underrated band, then this was their most underrated song. This was one of their best, but got very little air time when it came out.

Falar o que dessa banda, são demais, ativistas, com atitude, usando o rock para levar sua mensagem, a música é ótima, e se for comparar com as bandas de hoje ai você entende porque o rock perdeu muitas das suas qualidades, baita banda...

Om Namah Shivaya! This song always opens my higher self. Listening in Cambodia. Glad to reconnect with Midnight Oil been listening over thirty years.

Midnight oil, sadly underrated. One of the best bands to come out of the 90's

I love the oils

They're coming to NYC in June! Exciting!

JUST BRILLINT THAT BEAT WOW

Maravilha!

Just one more Oil masterpiece!

Midnight Oil rocks! I have liked them for at least 17 years now.

The chorus is magical.

This is what Awesome sounds like

I love this band!

Thank you it made me Smile and Dance. Me and my brother thank you .Sign Love.

Cosmic, Psychedelia, Hindi influences, what a powerhouse, cool to see our kiwi boy on bass, Go Bones Hillman

A melhor música dessa banda

I have so much love and respect for Midnight Oil ❤️

A masterpiece ... both the song and video!!

Amo essa música! Ganhei esse disco no dia que o Ayrton Senna morreu, nunca me esqueço desse dia! ✌🏻🇧🇷

É de chorar, Midnight Oil é a melhor banda do mundo! Ceéloko! Brazil loves you Oils

I love this song.

Andei muito de VW Brasília ouvindo no toca fitas!!

One of their finest.

This keyboard driven solo is unreally groovy. One awesome band.

I used to hear this at a Toronto bath house I would frequent every now and then back in the 90s.....ahhhh memories

i feel a natural deep respect for this band! thank you midnight oil for sharing these fantastic vibes,this fantastic sound, these ubeatable lyrics, thx

Just two verses really, but one of the best songs ever... It makes me cry because it makes me think of the peaceful world humanity could have...

I heard this song in the early 90's is my anthem since them

Great song.

Это просто какой-то восторг!🥰

Lembraças da minha juventude anos 80

Amazing how the guy from the movie The Hills Have Eyes could belt out such a chill tune.

I still love this song!

Perfect

Rob n Bones the best backing vocals you would ever want.

linda linda linda linda linda linda linda demais. adoro

Atualíssima ,banda foda ...voltei nós anos de 1980...👍🏼👍🏼

LOOOOOOVE IT!

One of the best songs ever! Just magical. Also a brilliant video!

Magic Song. A one in a billion recordings. Well done lads. LOve the Arabian scale work on the guitar solo section [Lovely and perfect for this song].

Essa música é maravilhosa! PQP! Agora, mano, o editor do clipe fez um trabalho fenomenal, pqp!

This is Track 8 on the album. On my initial listen, I couldn't get past it. Repeat. Repeat. Repeat. Simply haunting. Finally, I got to "In the Valley" and repeated that one.

Fantastic on and on...

The coolest music video in the world

Este álbum é um dos meus preferidos da banda. Tenho o cd comprado quando de seu lançamento no Brasil. E este vídeo é massa!!!

Is it me or do you hear the Beatles influence (Dear Prudence etc.) and a touch of Talk Talk? Also one of the great things about Midnight Oil has always been the enterplay of the guitar parts. The drums are a given...

i think there is going to be a massive "outbreak of love" in the near future!

We saw them at S.P.A.C. And loved them with Peter Gabriel the same night. Also another big highlight that day was The Levellers doing "This Garden". Womad in the 90's.

Is that a mellotron I hear at 03:26? I didn't think ANY band was using one of those by the early 1990s! Adds a nice touch to the song's atmosphere.

best parts of the song 3.15 and 3.46 BRILLIANT

Ativistas com atitude! Demais!

Gorgeous song and video!

the didnt play this song last night here in Brasília...😍 would loved listen to.

Absurdo instrumental midnight oil, BOM demais

Great song, indeed, and a fantastic band

Timeless

I love this song. Thanks for posting.

Esse som é pra viajar ( bem loko )

Espetacular

Essa música é a minha favorita😍😍

This is definitely not the song to listen to if you're feeling fragile or emotionally bruised. Rob Hirst's melody is full of, I dunno - heaps of minor chords or something, and Garrett gives Hirst's deceptively vulnerable lyrics a tension beyond what Rob's sweet, high voice might have. The first verse and chorus are lush but notably refined, and then the first bridge twists you out of that comfort - and again with a key change after the 2nd verse. Fuck. It hurts. A lot. This song gently slices you open, clutches your heart, then wrings it. "Hirst, who wrote it, said that he wanted the stately, yearning song to portray what happens when people fall suddenly out of love. He meant to write about “day-to-day personal relationships, where everything is rosy, then suddenly it’s abolished.” " (Oct '93 - Mike Boehm interviewing 'Oils drummer, Rob Hirst.) Similar enough to my situation, that the song is close to unlistenable. 😔

Linda

Sexy dans sa voix, sa stature, sa façon de se mouvoir, je l'❤

Omg Peter’s sooo hot🤩💥🔥 PS Awesome piece, one of their best👍🏻👍🏻👍🏻

Okay, I'm addicted... Again...

São Paulo abril 2020

Genius

Wonderful video!

I don't recall this getting a lot of play on the radio at the time, and I think it's mostly a forgotten classic from the early 90s. Such a shame when you consider the teen factory crankout crap that passes for pop music these days...

SALUDOS DESDE PERU?

To those that gave a 24 unlike, something seriously wrong with you all.
