- Song aus dem album Oceans Apart
What would you do if you turned around
And saw me beside you
Not in a dream but in a song?
Would you float like a phantom
Or would you sing along?
Don't know where I'm going
Don't know where it's flowing
But I know it's finding you
What would you do
If you saw me driving by in a car
The quickest you've ever seen me spin?
Would you smile and wave
Or would you bow and get in?
Don't know where I'm going
Don't know where it's flowing
But I know it's finding you
But then the lightning finds us
Burns away our kindness
We can't find a place to hide
Come the rainy season
Surrender to our treasons
Can we even find our tears?
Don't know where I'm going
Don't know where it's flowing
But I know it's finding you - Видеоклипы
The most underrated Australian band of all time ….they deserved to have more success than they did ..
The second most underrated, imho, just after the Triffids.
The worst part about this song is that It has to end!! The go- betweens are the best band Australia ever produced, without a doubt!!
An extraordinary song.
I find it hard to listen without welling up.
Damn, this song can still make me cry!
I Dedicate this to my Dad RIP mate, I'll love & remember you 4 EVER!! 👍👍👍👍👍👍💕💕💕💕💕💕💕
One of the best Aussie songs ever. By one of the best bands Australia ever produced.
for almost 30 years I listen to the Go-Betweens and more recent Robert and Grant ... They are the only artists who seem to have a song for every feeling or occasion.that comes up in my life..
..Love you guys
Try The Tragically Hip!
what is robert and grant?
The Go-Betweens are who I think of when I hear the term 'endlessly listenable'.
beautiful...my daughter loves this song now, she is 19 and heard it while visiting me. I still think of the first lady that I loved when I listen to this song
Same here. Regret and hope
So glad that I just found this band.
One of their most beautiful and touching songs
Ten years have passed since I first heard this wonderful piece of art?? This song is timeless. I'll never forget you, Grant. Thank you!!
10 years today, never forgotten. Thanks for the music Grant.
+The Groovy Side Of the Tube Great to see someone else remembered. Beautiful legacy.
+Scott Landells I do as well,so sad that death ended the amazing story of them...
RIP GRANT ..a great one
The most beautiful song GW ever wrote (IMHO) ... bless you mate (x)
Best Aussie band ever and never sold out for the Commercial Crap.
They could have for all I care but they made great songs and that's everything that counts for me.
For a long time I thought the Church was the most original Australian band, but as I hear more of the Go-Betweens I'm starting to change my mind.
@@tullfan7872 The Church is a rock band, the best there is; The Go Betweens are a great pop band.
My friend said that this song made him think of me, then I searched it and listened to it. It's a beautiful song! Thanks to him for telling me about this song. And I wish I can be with him.
so just do it. go to him!
+kampfeis Lol. I wish. But I think he doesn't feel the same :(
I only can pray the best for him.
Biggest sadness musically in my life not seeing this wonderful band in life and to the two musical genius's behind this wonderful band,Thankyou Robert and Grant forever admired.
A genius of a generation, a credit greater than yet to his Nation, and a gem, never a costume or a way station, in one's evocation of love by way of peregrination. Ave, Masters Forster & McLellan (sic ~ :) ).
Love this song makes me remember how beautiful being young is:)♥ go betweens opened my heart all those years ago when I began "finding me"
Australian Music Immortals......
So glad I got to see them many times when they reformed. Don’t know how I missed them in the 80’s as they were right up my street. Love them so much.
NewHopeNashFan, I could not agree more. I discovered the Go-Betweens by chance in in 1988 and became an instant fan of them and Grant's solo work. It's criminal that they to this day are virtually unknown here in America. Grant's music has a very profound and deep meaning in my life and that he passed away so young is something that I have a really hard time accepting. The GB's music is what took me to Oz for 3 months. A country I fell in love with. Dunno if I can go back to Brisbane now. :-(
So beautiful,superb song and great band,we miss you!
It took me a long time to acquire a taste for the Go-Betweens and I'm still not their biggest fan, but this song is just exquisite.
Beautiful, as always.....RIP Grant,,,you were one of a kind
i sang this at my old school before we all left and it brings so many memories back! thank you! :')
I've been a Go-Betweens fan since the late 80's (around ten yo), then loved Grant's solo work as I grew older... I acknowledged their reformation at the time, but now, listening to this, and in hindsight of Grant's untimely passing, I wish I'd paid more attention while I had the chance.
I love the interplay between Robert and Grant- you can almost see one of them lurking in the kitchen while the other raised laughs in the lounge room. This is such a beautiful song.

A master of his craft, sublime song writing. Thanks Grant.
I saw them play one of their first gigs in a hall in Caxton St. Bruce Anton from Rocking Horse Records and a band called the Survivors played drums. I saw them at the Exchange Hotel after that playing with The Numbers.
True musicianship covers a multitude of things: Adele's brilliant bass counterpoint at 2:07 gets me every time!
The song's full of great hooks. One of the best I've ever heard.
Just beautiful.
Love the song. Everything is fantastic. But the vocals! I mean the backing vocals as well. Perfection.
Magic song,helped me through a hard time,great aussie band,Grant magic
I keep coming back to listen to this. Best Grant song ever.
Great song. I only ever really knew Cattle and Cane as a song I heard on the radio from them (I actually bought the single I liked it that much), so it's great to discover gems like this one many years later.
i'm a songwriter myself, and i can learn from this great song. glad i discovered this!
any australian with any musical taste knows this one of best local songs and bands ever
preciosa canción. gran descubrimiento de grupo
Staggering brilliance.
Damn good band that never quite reached their potential. This is easily their best song.
Great song,wonderful Australian act.
Totally After, melancholic and beautiful
This should have 350m views
the perfect band
good post it's twenty seven years since I saw em in Manchester .this is brilliant
Perfect!
what a lovely song....
An old friend brought this song to my attention. I miss that friend and I miss the Go-Betweens.
Love this song but it tears my heart out that it is one of Grant's last ever....truly a musical genius.
this is one of the songs u dont know, but u know u searched for them a long time...
Around this time was also Paul Kelly and the Coloured Girls (later Messengers). Beautiful words and melodic music. Music to close your eyes to and dream.
A great song in any era.
I came to the Go Betweens through rock, prog and blues; they're one of the few 'pop' bands that are THAT good :) Robert Forster and Grant McLennan (RIP) had sublime collaborative chemistry, and produced wonderful solo albums too! A great band, and always will be!
Greetings from the UK!
Agree - they're very creative and original. What amazes me is that as a singer Forster isn't that good and as a guitarist McLennan wasn't exceptional. But the consistency of the collaboration and harmonising is unbelievably good ... just perfect. There aren't too many moments in music when that happens. REM's guitars, Michelle Branch's voice harmonising with her strumming guitar. Plus, Steven Wilson is another artist that came up through rock and prog that currently is doing some great pop.
ABSOLUTELY AWESOME!!! I've just discovered this band, and WOW!!!
has to be my favourite song in the world
This is the best song ever written
Nice song ,ever
Beautiful!
Utterly brilliant. Another classic
I found out about these guys because for this album, the drummer is Glenn Thompson from Custard, hence my profile pic.
These guys are fantastic, and I actually own this album on CD. All the songs are great, but this one is the best.
I missed this band in my youth - am just starting to catch up now. That's a very Churchy jangly guitar there as well as Kilby-style offhand vocals. They also remind me of The Cure and Paul Kelly to give a very upbeat fusion of art pop and urban folk. Nice song.
Great song!
JUST PERFECT POP FOR A PERFECT AUTUMN
Superb,simply- almost brings a tear everytime i hear it.Australian artists at there finest.
Sounds good considering this was made around 2005. I did not think anything made after the mid 1990s could sound decent but this is pretty good.
Davin, this was the 'The Go-Betweens' comeback, the band originated from late 80's,mid 90's. Best Aussie band to not make it commercially\internationally :-)
Davin Dx You seem to have some issues, Gramps
dangermoose2000
That is the pot calling the kettle coal black.
Try late 70s
My Faves from the 80's- N
No matter what mood you were in there was always a song that fitted-Shame they never got the credit they deserved
Greatest song ever. Miss you heaps GW
Just saw Norman Blake (Teenage Fanclub) and Joe Pernice (Scud Mountain Boys, Pernice Brothers) perform this track acoustically as part of the Sydney Festival - made me look up the original, a very beautiful track.
At last I found it .. amazing song great loving memories
Go-Betweens forever
great song great album, one of my favs and possibly the strongest by the go betweens
isnt it good to live at a time when a song like this exists .brilliant song brilliant band saw you many times.pity the charts didnt recognise you but thats a good thing leave that to girls aloud .
Just beutiful. RIP Grant McLennan - one of THE greatest songwriters ever.
great ! great! this is really music...delicious to listen to ..
RIP Grant... OMG what a band... Robert & Grant... a dream... ❤
Beautiful.... Rip Quinny, I love you! xoxoxoxoxox
Does it get better? Has it been better? A masterpiece of Australian, nay global, music
Incredible.
Rest in peace Grant
:(
So Beautiful of a song

DER A1 Song schlechthin, Hammer Nummer!
saw robert play a acoustic set beside the brisbane river a few months ago,
bought my daughter along,first quality muso she has seen,
the go-betweens now have a bridge over the river named after them,
well deserved,great aussie music
it's my favourite song....i love it...
I love this song. It has so much energy, positive energy.
Give me a Ford Thunderbird and I will cross America from East to West Coast.
The sound maybe could be better. More open.
Best wishes from Salamanca, SPAIN!!!.
incredible track!
My song for Quinny.. RIP, I love you with this song babe!!! xoxoxxxo

Great song, great band RIP
"Don't know where I'm going
Don't know where It's flowing
But I know It's finding you"
The Go Betweens were one of the best ozzie band. Will be missed
A1 kundenhotline...stundelang auf nen mitarbeiter warten o___O wenigstens is der song extreem gut ^^
It's just a dream ❤
~~~~~~ lovely jabli ~~~~~~
@meiguoren66 .. I had that thought too, but geez.. you'd bring on the tears.
There is truly something special about "finding you"..even the first few bars... a kind of wistful pathos?, a sensitive beautiful dignified humanity?
.. the tribute version is excellent too, which I must buy.
@maida1982a agreed, a quintessential Australian band that did not tread the Commercialsim road too much and stayed true to their music, similarly Hunters & Collectors and therefore did not have the successful international careers that they deserved (at least not to dizzying heights)
RIP GW
Listening to these songs today
And also to the House of love tonight
Is not like being old or young
Is not like being in our out of tune
Is more about being in another place
Like it’s always been
When the Beatles and the Stones
Made it good to be alone
When you needed a whispered song
To tell you about the bachelor kisses.
A rock’n’roll friend, anyhow, anyway
love it
