Miss u dad so much & love u heaps u gone but never forgotten from friends family's & fans that love u songs heaps so yeah I would like to say thank for all this nice comments that u wrote to my father:)
Your dad inspired a generation of young white Australians to learn about the First Nations people and the richness of their cultures. I can still recall being 16 years old on the floor of the Hordern Pavilion with thousands of us punching the air and singing along with him "Stand up, stand up and be counted." I don't know when or why so many those others with me that day decided to sit down but the shame of what my generation has become - the selfish, materialistic 3 rental property owning LNP voter base - is with me every day.
I get home after a night out (Kansas City). I had a yearning to hear and see this classic that was such an impactful song from growing up (Melbourne). Have listened to these guys everywhere I’ve traveled. The fact I’m still seeking out the song, and you’re reading this comment, proves really how strong it is. #warumpis
It's sacrilege this song (and band) were not given the airtime on local radio that they deserved. when they were making their rounds. So many kids growing up in Australia not knowing them or hearing their awesome music that has meaning and the 'spirit of Australia'. I first heard them in Atherton in 1992 and I was hooked. Thankyou Warumpi Band.
One of the greatest Aussie songs of all time full of yearning, nostalgia and reflection on the paths life takes you down - cracking track thankyou Warumpi Band respect!
Such a beautiful song!! I love it so much!!! 🙂🎶 Love from an Irish man, who’s living in Japan...singing this beautiful song, while dreaming and yearning for “my island home” so far away in Ireland 😊☘️
I use to live away from my home i had my kids my woman but still it hurt .Every time i listened to this song it break me down to tears because i just wanted to go back home to my people. Powerful
Love this song George had a great voice , sadly no longer with us. I think this was a very underrated group. Like the bit at 2.05 - two hands one black one white to me that has a lot of meaning.
An underrated band and most think it was Christine Anu had the original version. I have seen these guys in concert and they are fantastic and a credit to Australia.
This is Australia's most awesome folksong. Pity that the Warumpi Band was never given the spot light during their time. Shame on us Aussie's. The band consisted of George Burarrwanga on vocals and didgeridoo, Gordon Butcher Tjapanangka on drums, his brother Sammy Butcher Tjapanangka on guitar and bass guitar, and Neil Murray on rhythm guitar and backing vocals.
Peace is the only way in this world,why People don't understand this fact,we could be happy together,d'éducation to all my friends all aronde the world
Such a tragedy that the singers own person al life story gave him nothing much in the way of accolades,royalties etc White guy should have split these rewards between the two of them! .......fuck christened any any way!
@@rachkate76 what on earth are you talking about with him. What makes you think he didn't share the money with the rest of the band? It was not like the were constant numbers one hits... it was only when Christine Anu sang it that it became really famous. He is no KKK member racist type person... he chose to teach in outback places where the band started, he learnt the local language... He is perhaps the most important non-Aboriginal person with regards to Australian Aboriginal music since so many of the people he played with, wrote songs with etc were...

Your father is an amazing legend! xxx
So much integrity & authenticity. Absolutely no artifice. Much respect to your dad. You sound as proud of him as I'd be if he was my dad. RIP.
An absolute legend of Australian music. Rest well George
I'm crying. Beauty.

Best Australian Band! It’s a pity they never got enough recognition
Shame, yes not their fault they are not as recognised as should be. Bit like Scrap Metal (Pigrams).

What à beautiful song,should be a national anthem
One of the greatest songs ever written. Period.
This song makes me cry. I'm back in my hometown today, after living ten years in a dry dusty place.

christine anu's soft soap version just annoys me when i hear it
A beautiful song for those whose home is far away surrounded by the sea. A top song for all island boys and girls out there far from home.
This is amazing song ,should be our National anthem
This band can unite us all on this land! I hope I live to see dream become that reality. We can do it, just need a lotta love!
