Midnight Oil - The Dead Heart 

Reminder, great song.

1st Wave on Sirius played this today, Thanksgiving, and it is so perfect to play on this day.

Dude time to listen to it again 😂😂

🖤❤️💛

December 1st 2023 and I'm singing it for my ancestors, and my dad, RIP, who was stolen generation 🖤💛❤️

Right

The Oils power is in songs that keep Australia busy. Im not Australian but Dutch but I love the Oils.

Midnight Oil's music changed forever when asked to write a song for the Bi Centenary of Australia They visited outback communities for inspiration and found their cause!! Best era and best songs they ever produced.

Oi Oi Oi !!!!!

Me!

🙋 🇧🇷

Same here!

I grew up in France’s south west too. Back then the lyrics was the last of our worries… music and emotions first… sometimes years later I stopped listening to some bands when I understood how retarded the lyrics were. :-)

Love yourself and move forward.

I m w you , the lyrics are the pure reality of what happened time before, we can always change it...

I understood it as a kid. I always loved this💕👍

Read The Fatal Shore: The Epic of Australia's Founding - by Robert Hughes

Too truthful....upset political puppetry

Listening to this since 80s

Because no one cared about the atrocities as much as 80s youth did. We were a special kind

"because no one cared more about atrocities than 80s youth did". Lol what? 70s were much more activist, more anti war, more counterculture, more anti consumerist, folk songs era. They cared far more for things that mattered. Otherwise, can you five me some counter examples which prove your claim that 80s youth cared the most about atrocities? What did they do to beat 70s or 90s youth? Even if just talking about songs, it's no contest, every second song in 70s was hippy war protest songs, about spreading free love, etc. 80s were boomers and decade of excess, full of consumerist fashion, coke heads instead of weed hippies, start of electronic music and pop music was huge like Michael Jackson, even if he made many songs with a good message, he also had hundreds of millions of dollars, bought theme park never land, decade of excess like I said.. At least 70s hippies were nor hypocrites as much and put their money where their mouths was and protested on the streets for change. 80s did like one band aid or live aid concert, made one song like we are the world, and that's it. 70s every second song from every artist was protest song. 70s were a special kind in a good way, 80s were a special kind in a bad way, or at least when it came to counterculture. 70s was the era of minimalism and hippy protest and counterculture. 80s was the era of mainstream and excess. The war in Vietnam ended, Cold War was basically over, and everyone just forgot and wanted to enjoy to the fullest and not give a shit about anything other than themselves. Hedonistic decade of excess is best way to put it.

Had the 12" in england. Loved the Oils, Love The Oils, still got video - Black fella white fella

Ach mein freund tu n a pas eu de colonies.

He is indeed, George. It's ME, not myself.

52, ha ha, 3 years younger. Lol. Just teasing. I, rather, We are right there with you. Miss my 80s!! Gonna bring 'em back.

😉69 years old french woman 🥰

70 here and dancing!

100% Agreed! They never got the credit they deserved and they were ahead of their time.

Just in the USA.

Human nature grants us the clarity of hindsight, but often only after it's too late

I think so too 日本より。

NO THEY AREN'T! Seriously, find a new word bc that is flogged to death on yt and on bands and musicians it doesn't apply to!

Underplayed in south africa aswell

I mean... it really isn't "all everybody talks about." There are thousands of genres and sub-genres.

​@@LoneKharnivore😊 4:19

Me too brings right back when i was in jr high in Minetonka Minesota!! 👽☮️

Pity Biden and his corporate crony fascists are going to take it all

​@@harrymay2528Hmm. No. Your blind partisan hatred of liberals has fucked up your thinking. You're lost, on the wrong side of history and the world will leave you behind. Peace.

Yeah, but what is his ancestry? Aboriginal or rather Anglo-Saxon?

He’s white and anglo descended, championing indigenous rights. They’re not mutually exclusive.

​@@streamsofsunlight He should champion for colonizers to leave Australia and go back to Europe. It is time to give the land back! Native people need to rise up and take back what is theirs!!

​@@Pagangirl8yeah. Good luck with that.😂

@@Pagangirl8 That is what he did. But that is also what is never going to happen.

How can you forget Little River Band 😅 they're soo underrated

'sup

Yessirrr

Hell yeah! Song with a purpose

Io grandi

Humor is alive in 2024. Esp with this band.

I don't think we have to constantly bring up this issue. However, what you just said is exactly what we need to talk more about. You hit the nail on the head. A balanced way of looking at this, wasn't all good, yet wasn't all bad. I live in Canada and all I hear is how white man has never done anything good, yet our quality of life is a million times better than it was 200 years ago so..... People are becoming so spoiled, it's pathetic. A lot of people will literally complain about everything in their " awful society" while sitting at home collecting a check that basically gives them everything they need to live without doing shit!! Im not against welfare at all. I'm against this attitude of entitlement that people are starting to have more and more. I didn't say that pointing the finger at native people, but that is how I see them when they can't find one good word to say about the white man , but at the same time they have their hands open demanding more money.

I'm scared my brother. Earth is our goddess. Let's get together and save her. Peace!

This is about Australian history not American

@@donoteatbluedirt8529 it's the same in the usa.

Nathan, Mark, Steve and Doug. This band has cashed in on the problems between the races nothing more nothing less, they spread divide between brothers. If it's a fight they want a fight they'll get, ship stirrers sometimes have to Lick the Spoon. What race am I? I'm from the human race on a little blue marble.

ya that ...can't be broken....absolute.......

Coz ur abo

❤

Esta bien amigos

Esta bien amigos mi casa musia

A unreal fantastic song 🔥🔥🔥🔥

It will only get better, be patient

I sure do, they are brilliant.

🙋🏻‍♀️

Great music stands the test of time. Midnight Oil is one of those rare groups whose music still sounds as fresh and new as it was when it first came out. And lyrically, still as relevant today, maybe even more so than ever.

Yea. This song is about. Black. Fellas 🇦🇺🇦🇺🇦🇺🇦🇺🇦🇺🇦🇺. Australian

Took. Everyone

Same here. I was in pakistan in the late 80's and my friend, Jude Dias, came over to my house and said Andrew you have to hear this. This song blew me away.. My friend has since passed away but every time I listen to this I see him rocking with me. May he RIP.

Listening in MX.

Dead right

how can we sleep , our BEDS are Burning

Bloody oath!

i can't sleep while my shlong is burning

It is. 30 yrs? Has it been so long,

There's no such thing as a part so-called Aboriginal. You are whatever your father is. And so called Aboriginal people are really ISRAELITES from the tribe of REUBEN.

@@yahawahreuben1159 pretty sure we know what she means.

@@yahawahreuben1159 okay schizo

Us aussies love other country’s listening and vibing to songs

@Nathan McCarthy Recency bias does seem to be present, when people care about only the invasions that took place within the last few hundred years. However, these are the ones that we have the best records about, and the ones where the suppressed cultures are still around, so something can be done to support those cultures (obviously, some cultural features can be worth replacing rather than preserving, such as child abuse, sexism, racism, violent murder of enemy combatants, etc.).

@Nathan McCarthy Obviously you are English and if you are you are lucky that a little bit of treachery and greed stopped your country being called SCOTLAND today.Having an English National Party would've been strange to imagine.The person was more or less posting about the music that his/her country made & proud of it.

@@RichardWilkin ĺ

@Nathan McCarthy Your replies seem focused more on your anger, rather than what others say. For example, I never implied that you were from any given heritage, nor did I accuse you of anything. Rather, I agree that it is inappropriate to hold anyone accountable for what their ancestors did or didn’t do. We should be accountable only for our own actions. However, just as a manager sometimes needs to deal with issues that were caused by a predecessor, so too many nations have residual tensions and it is best to try to resolve those tensions. (I am not implying that some Australians have more right to be here than other Australians.)

They were trying to look after their Country, just as some of our artists try to make us aware of the issues in America!

Bad dancing

@@stevenwade147 the laughs on you

Steven Wade legendary dancing

what was that...? wasnt black stuff.

Yes, indeed

Listening to this since 30 years

THIS.

Really does

I found this band cca 3 months ago... And i can't stop listening

Actually peter and co capitalised on indigenous history in Australia. They did not do shit

@@rickybarrett7655 You are full of shit Ricky if that's what you think! He was president of the Australian Conservation Foundation for ten years. do your homework.

​@@rickybarrett7655you talk absolute rubbish 😠 👎

Still do!

Great son, great album, great band.

Verdade.

PreColombianos não tiveram a minima chance... literalmente massacrados...

Disse tudo

Isso mesmo. Invadido.kkkk gostei do adjetivo Boy

@Marcelo...belas palavras!! Midnight Oil é original e ótimo também! !

yes, excepted the case of Pete Garrett when he committed for real in politics... ;-) Beside, it's been one of my favorite bands for many years...

Damn right fam!!!

Facts

@@etienneherve396 Pete also dropped out when it was obvious that his music made a bigger difference.

Never Sold Out ? What World Are You Living In? ALP!!!!! This country is been stolen Yeah Yeah Yeah The Music The Music The Music

Obrigado.... 🎉

A lot.

touring again .. got my tickets

me2

Here here shame he sold out

+Rebecca Gray When you're talking about the oldest surviving single culture on earth things are different Australian Aborigines can now be traced back for 60,000 years

so does the native american people

Obrigada por vcs fazerem parte nesse planeta. Vcs fizeram a diferencia no meu universo musical. Vcs são os melhores, eu amo vcs de paixão... 😍😍😍

Yes. Thanks so much. Midnight Oil for your music very nice.

Peter Garrett had his chance to change things when he was elected to the Australian government . He was even Minister of the environment, He did little and even modified his views,

They look damned cool.

3:16 Caramba, eu também!!! (OMG! Me Too!!!)

Totally Get Ya. Same as Motorbike and a Chattering.

No, the song is dedicated to Australia’s indigenous people. It’s ok to find solidarity and common struggle with them as a fellow indigenous person, but don’t sweep aside the people this song was dedicated to.

​@@streamsofsunlighttheir music is universal. The song blue sky mine helped ban alot of asbestos companies from many countries.

I'm also from ANU.

I find it interesting how older Australian music seemed to be somewhat popular in Brazil!

@@NClass468 It´s quite popular indeed. Btw, I´m brazilian.

Best australian band even better than ac dc

@@NClass468 in Brazil, anyone who really likes rock needs to listen to bands from Australia, I listen to a lot of Hoodoo Gurus, Spy vs Spy, Boom Crash Opera, Gang Gajang, The Church among others

Top five ...These guys are incredible.......I think they are touring now.....

They are, and I'm going. Their band is legit awesome.

I'm going tomorrow....Porto Alegre, Brazil.. \o/

PolishPolackski and tw

very mediocre

Verdade. Concordo com você.

Good on Harry and Meghan for fighting for racial equality on Oprah and exposing racism on live TV. The queen was the first to shake hands with Nelson Mandela lol. Now thats hypocrisy!

Da hora! Fui ver o show deles no Olympia em SP ...nem lembro o ano..kkkkk

Eu tenho 44 ;)

I don't mind that you call this pop, but to me this is Rock.

@@somebloke3869 sure this is best of the bested ROCK!

There are so very many actually, different styles of music God's people do have...

@@somebloke3869 Rock can be pop but pop can't be rock

rock is a type of pop.... like all good music these days, it's still out there, but you do have to do your own work to find it. that's because the corporate recording industry is all but dead. good riddance - a lot of the major recording labels like Phillips/EMI also had arms manufacturing wings of their business empires. fuck the lot of them!

Try 63 hun. And yeah, still loving it.

Elsa, I'm 72 and love it more than ever-keep the Faith

They released the makarrata project in October 2020, but in saying that they never really left, just brief hiatuses

If only Poor Afrikaners stuck in South Africa could be treated like ur 🇦🇺 Aboriginals in regards to legitimate Minority Rights. Now Australia 🇦🇺 is concerned about 🇨🇳 but it was so easy for former AU PM Bob Hawke and the rest of the world to support the Communist takeover of South Africa back then. Always much easier if it’s not ur family thrown into oblivion. Thanks Emily Hobhouse RIP❤️. ALWAYS WAS, ALWAYS WILL BE 👨‍👩‍👧✝️ Wat het die Boer vir geveg en teen wie? 😭😭😭 kan ons nog op staan, en hoe?

ironically, so alive!! Makes the short list of my favourite songs

We carry in our heart the true country.....and that can't be stolen...follow in the steps in .....and it cannot be broken..........

@@lindahoeymakers8898 Me too, I find this sentence very symbolic, very strong (We follow in the steps *of our ancestry* and it cannot be broken)

In response to the chinese occupation of tibet: Know your custom don't speak your tongue chinese man came took everyone. Every race of people stole land at some point.

Great song

White man cameee built everythingggg !!

Alias1983 just how like Africans sold their own people off instead of banding together to fight for their independence like Ethiopia

@@Alias1983 this song is about Australia not entire world.
