The Go-Betweens - Streets of your Town HD 

I'm an Aussie, and to me this is the most 'Australian' sounding song ever. I can't explain why. It just is. Magnificent

I lived in Australia from 90-92 and this just reminds me of the great times we had.

This is in my humble opinion one of the greatest aussie tracks ever. I honestly can't get enough of it and I play it often mainly for a lift. I guess the downside is that they didn't go on longer but such is life. What remains is one of the greatest song's in Aussie pop. 16 Lovers Lane is a pure gem, check it out

I’m American, never set foot in Australia, but somehow this song makes me long for it and to go there.

This is a classic. A masterpiece. After all those years, still young and wild an refreshing. RIP Grant. Miss you. You will always be remembered.

That beautiful almost haunting voice of Amanda Brown singing " shine "

A lad I used to work with in 80s England used to be into obscure bands. He would spend his breaks with his head buried in the New Musical Express and hardly communicate with anyone. I got to know him after a time and I asked him for recommendations of new stuff to listen to. Among the bands he mentioned were The Go-Betweens. And I went out and bought 16 Lover's Lane. Immediately loved the band.

This is a song that should have made it to the top world wide.

This was a big hit in Switzerland when it came out.

I grew up in Brisbane in the 1960 70 s and loved driving through the suburbs. It is an amazing city. Every time I hear this song I am back in my car and seeing the streets and people who seemed to always have a smile on their faces. Life on the whole was good. Trams could take you everywhere very cheaply. Traffic flower smoothly because drivers were considerate and ourteous.. Love you Brisbane.

It's 2022... and I have so fallen in love with The Go Betweens...😍🎶🎼👏👍💜💝 Australia had such quality Bands... Well done Brisbane 😎

this is literally one of my favorite songs of all time

RIP Grant. we lost a musical legend too early.

Get a bit teary every time I hear this actually went to the Sun Theatre in Yarraville last night fantastic area.

This hurts...takes me to a sunny, sweet weekend away in 1989. We swopped our music on cassettes in those days - including this gem. This song conveys major nostalgia as a cry out to the memory of a fleeting moment of happiness. Thank you KEXP Seattle for playing it out of nowhere, (I didn’t even know the name of the band before): I had to stop what I was doing and go off in a revere.

Here we are in 2021. We await to even get a little of the Great Australian Culture again. I loved living during this era. May this beautiful country Australia forever be cherished

Takes me back to my freshman year when I was attending college down in Texas in 1988. The late-afternoon DJ of the college radio station played this song all the time. Loved it. I did not know it was an Australian band until I read the comments in here.

This song aged so well. Especially the chorus has such a timeless feel. As a gen z kid who only heard this song for the first time recently I genuinely had no idea if the song came out in the 80s 90s or last year.

This one never gets old...Feel freedom of days gone by when I hear this-like going back to the 80's or 90's.

Love this song . Gorgeous Amanda Brown has a voice from heaven.

What an amazing song. Even after all these years I still love this song. And Amanda Brown is gorgeous...😋😋

Love this song may sound silly but every time I listen to it it reminds me when things in our lives were simple gezz wish time would just slow down 😢

Thanks AMPOL I had a flashback and girl singing is drop dead gorgeous

Very close to perfection: beautiful poetic lyric, awesome music, unforgettable video clip.

Really is a song and half, isn't it? Almost makes me cry.

This is definitely one of the most underrated groups EVER...PERIOD.....

Yes the AMPOL ad brought me to this song as well Great song Amazing the songs that I missed growing up in the 80s

Discovered this music just today... Its like an enlightment! Pure bliss... Australia is so far from me but I have a feeling like I always was there just because of songs like this... Magic!

Fabulous song - Amanda Brown's vocals are brilliant - and that stare ! - our student union barman played this back in the 80's and I have been listening to the album since. RIP grant - I din't know he had passed. Great happy song.

The old cinema you see in this video is Sun Theatre in Yarraville, Melbourne. It was in a derelict state for about 20 years until some enterprising cinema lover bought and restored it over about a 5 year period in to an art deco style. Now a thriving multiplex for around 20 years now. Whenever I go there to see a movie this song starts playing in my head. I love this song!

I dare anyone to stay perfectly still while listening to this happy tune.....

First time I listen to this song, I had to hear it about 10 times because I loved it. (Brazil)

I dont know what it is about this song , But I can hear it over & over & over. Amanda's vocals are the icing on the cake, though I'd probably pass out if she was on stage with me. 😀 A great band.

These are really great musicians. Australia has great musicians and groups, I had only listened to Men at work, but this is a great group, I learned about his music, because I was investigating the history of Australia and the news that arrives in South America by fires, it really is a shame what you are going through. My supportive embrace and we are all praying that these fires will soon be over, Greetings to all of Australia from Quito-Ecuador, blessings to you

such a great song, Amanda Brown sounds awesome and I think her contribution is what makes this song sound so good. She's like the icing. This song is now stuck in my head hahah.

After listening to this over 35 times I still cannot get enough. Best footage to bring all the Classic Australian life we long for...

Anyone else live nowhere near Australia but found this group anyway? First heard them off p2p sharing in the late 90s/2000s and it was like finding a track from the 80s/90s from an older sibling’s cassettes you’d never heard before but instantly loved

What an absolute Aussie iconic song. Thanks for the memories guy's

I woke up this morning with the chorus of this song looped in my brain and thought I have to play it on the.....

One of those underrated and underplayed classics. It is beautiful.

This song makes me proud to be an Aussie!!

The new AMPOL TV commercial brought me here....great song forgot all about it...

One day Portugal will conquer Australia so it can have this song as national anthem

I picked up Grant in my Yellow Cab a couple of years before he passed. He was going to the Valley near the Tivoli. I did not know who he was but he told me about the Go Betweens. A lovely Man!

Yes an upbeat song that is sad really when they sing they shut it down they closed it down they pulled it down. That actually brought a tear to my eye, beautiful song though.

Very close to perfection: beautiful poetic lyric, awesome music, unforgettable video clip. Oh god the smile The smile I tell ya

I love this song reminds me the summer of '86 in South America!

Amanda Brown & Grant, the perfect Go Betweens

One of the best songs ever written

One of the greatest pop songs of the 80s! And this town is full of battered wives-one of the most haunting lyrics.

Shout out to Perth Western Australia & Fee - Maiden name Fiona Johnson owns a piece of my heart. In the streets of Perth. Sending unrequited love to Fee.

WHAT A BAND.....

Magnificent. Close to musical perfection - yet still wasn't the elusive Top 40 hit they deserved. At the time this was recorded the band was slowly imploding from a range of issues yet they still produced this masterpiece. Every man longs for the moment that a lady gazes at them so lovingly as Amanda does to Grant here. R.I.P Grant.

Never heard this before, it's really lovely.

One of the best Aussie bands, sad for the loss . Deserved accolades forever ❤❤❤

I bet a lot of Victorian forestry workers are feeling there town will shut down with the government decision on logging . What a great anthem song for them. We all love our towns they are so beautiful for the area that we enjoy and work in. Great Australian Band in a great moment of music were our all artists dominant the world with their talents. We need more off them today great Australian music

A brilliant Aussie song,i've played so many times now,i just Love it 👍

Awesome band, they named their album after a suburb in Brisbane, Spring Hill fair, and they have a bridge over the Brisbane River named after them.

R.I.P Grant...you are sooooooo missed mate.. 😥

I had them in my young heart a long with the church and they are stil there now i am 55 old fart 🙂

I would never have known this song to exist if I hadn't caught the trippiest looking bus from byron Bay to nimbin, cruising through the middle of nowhere and the driver slaps this tune on. What a legend he was, he gave me 3 minutes of paradise (:

God.......the nostalgia, Prime television. When life was simple.

I GIVE THIS SONG THE RARE DISTINCTION OF BEING A MASTERPIECE

Masterpiece! Can't recall how many times I played this.

Great song, brings back great memories from the 80's

In my top 10 albums of all time. Majestical, beautiful, melodic; I will listen to this till the day I die

Pure class.

Wikipedia includes this excerpt: "The Go-Betweens were an Australian indie rock band formed in Brisbane, Queensland, in 1977. The band was co-founded and led by singer-songwriters and guitarists Robert Forster and Grant McLennan, who were its only constant members throughout its existence. Drummer Lindy Morrison joined the band in 1980, and its lineup would later expand to include bass guitarist Robert Vickers and multi-instrumentalist Amanda Brown. Vickers was replaced by John Willsteed in 1987, and the quintet lineup remained in place until the band split two years later. Forster and McLennan reformed the band in 2000 with a new lineup that did not include any previous personnel aside from them. McLennan died on 6 May 2006 of a heart attack and the Go-Betweens disbanded again. In 2010, a toll bridge in their native Brisbane was renamed the Go Between Bridge after them." So possibly true...

Watched The Go Betweens Copenhagen 1988. Brilliant concert. Flirted with Amanda. Hope Grant didn’t notice…

Such a gorgeous and relaxing lilt to it. Like a horse galloping across a meadow.

What a fantastic song! I saw them live at the El Mocambo in Toronto in the late 1980s with The Lawn opening. Two of my favorite bands in one night! The Go Betweens had found out that The Lawn were known to do a cover of "Newton Told Me." They wouldn't let them skip throwing it into their opening set. They insisted on hearing their version of it. That's the kind of band The Go Betweens were. What a fantastic night!

Oh wow , forgot all about this song . I’ve never had a woman look at me like Amanda looks at Grant 🥰 loved this song then and I love it now . What an absolute Australian sound .

My boyfriend introduced me to this band on a mixed tape in the 80s. I still love this song.

Good old 80s what a time best era the glory days take me back please

One of the best ever. I just love this band. This is one of there best. . From the golden years of Aussie music

My favourite. it's everything about love (and nostalgia). It is beautiful on so may levels = )

I have a lot material of them. Beside of Nick Cave my favourite Band from Australia. Robert Forster is carrying the spirit of the gobetweens forwards. I´ve seen the band in germany in the smalltown of schorndorf after they were reunited playing the friends of rachel worth. the indie-spirit of the former albums and the first line-up is similar to the velvet underground.

Love this song , Love this band one of the most underrated bands ever! RIP ❤Grant your always remembered in my thoughts x

This is one of the best songs ever written...the best of Australia xxxxx

Weird. Today I was in a consignment shop and found this LP in great shape. $37. Love it! Strange. I’ve been looking for this one for a year now 😂

The streetscape in this clip could’ve been filmed anywhere in Oz when this song was released. Now there’s probably no more left like this. Instead they’ve been bulldozed and replaced with malls, plazas and Westfields and the Main Street shopping strip has either gone or been relegated to patchy short term pop up stores in the majority of cases. Nothing like the character they once had.

I love this theme ... the best of my past youth

Just a beautifully written song and so well sung, just screams Brisbane like no other song could, always brings back memories of a simpler time that's long gone now.

Triple M play this song at least once a week, classic Aussie rock. Also Goanna Razor's Edge, another Aussie classic.

What a great song in the 80s(I'm getting emotional)I'm was born in Sydney in The 80s I was in my teens seen my city change I see parts these apartments everywhere makes me sad I take a sigh now my head and think how sad

Gary Davies sounds of the 80s brought me here. Glad I discovered this little gem

Ah yes remember this from back in the day, Great stuff.

Was at work and this song came on. Couldn't resist adding it to my library. Amazing song!

Such a beautiful song...reminds me of the beautiful township of Yallourn VIC.

Wonderful song...and yes Amanda Brown....lovely!

Ampol ⛽️ commercial brought me here, so catchy Love it

Brisbane Riverfire 2021 fireworks brought me here! Thanks Brisbane!

Being an 80’s guy I cannot believe I never heard this until last year!!!! I looked online. I bought a 12” 6 track EP from the UK. 45rpm. Pricey but worth it. Great song.

One of the absolute most underrated bands in pop/rock history

I've just discovered The Go Betweens - wow, what I've been missing ! It's a mystery to me why this band weren't massive ! Great songs, great playing and this song, just brilliant. Got some catching up to do !

Beautiful song

Unique and wonderful Brisbane group. Lindy's drumming is original and drives the boys songs beautifully. Amanda was a great addition when they had their most commercial success

A beautiful song! Pure and simple! Loved that band!❤️

a song that is perfect for accompanying us on a trip, do you agree, friends? Come on, those who agree, CLICK the thumbs up!

It's hard to deny the shimmering pop poise of this melodious beauty, so I won't! Instead, I'll remember them as a band who always played something of a bit part in my life
