    This song wss written by Steve Prestwich, the drummer. RIP in 2011. He was sitting up next to Ian Moss singing, playing the maracas. This song was released in 1982. Still relevant today.

      So true. Every time I heard this song in the last year I cannot help but think of the people in Ukraine fighting off Russian horrible invaders from their lives there and then try to rebuild their life and hmes after it. Putin will never steal the heart away from the Ukranian people that reject everything about Putin and his sick twisted thinking. Amazing song written by Steve.

    How can I go home and not get blown away… how can I return from this war zone and avoid being shot down again only by the trauma and sadness that i know I won’t be able to escape. He’s willing himself to pull through it, to hold on to his soul through the inevitable struggles that await “ain’t nobody gonna steal this heart away”. Brilliant song written by Steve Prestwich (RIP), drummer for the band.

    What a great anthem and gritty honest heartfelt performance by one of Australia’s greatest bands. So glad I had the privilege of seeing these guys as both a young and an older fan. Did you notice not a singleiPhone being held up in the audience. Everyone was invested in the performance.

    The crowd knows what's coming.... that's why. The song is from 1982 they've had 20 years of listening to it.
    Everyone is gonna interpret things differently. But to me the lyrics "You and I had our sights set on something... Hope it doesn't mean our days are numbered" is more about an argument between the couple being a "war" than being a post Vietnam war song (Chisel has a few of those already). It's a fight about goals in the relationship perhaps, or about a goal that is being destroyed by the breakdown of the relationship.
    It's followed up with
    "When the war is over, got to start again... Try to hold a trace of what it was back then".
    To me that means reconciliation after a fight. Trying to bring the relationship back to what it was before the fight.
    Hope this helps.
    Love your coverage.

    Cold chisel deserved AC/DC like world recognition. Their music means something and defines an era. As a kid born in the 70s this isn’t just a song. It’s a time and place. A generation lost in time

    This is what happens in Australia 🇦🇺 our artists won't be told how they'll be marked
    Why not many Aussies make it in usa
    Promoter's can't change them or control their music beside steal all the royalties from the music 🎶
    Even happening today look up Guy Sebastian modern Aussies singer song writer he's the modern day Jimmy and john or known here as farnsey and barnsey
    Sadley most of the world missing out but great for us we get more of them go Australia 🇦🇺
    Stay true to yourselves guys 🦘🇦🇺👍

    I saw Chisel at the Horden in Sydney (this tour) 22yrs ago with a bunch of high school mates. I actually cried the whole concert as i couldn't believe i was actually there & seeing the band our parents loved & we kids were all brought up on. So yeah nah it does get pretty emotional. Aussie music, our own pub rock genre, is so different from any other band, group or whatever in the world. Its our music, it's our life & apart from our Kiwi siblings across the ditch, we are just so far away from the rest of the world & we with our Kiwi siblings where so lucky & spoilt to have bands like Chisel to ourselves.

    When the war is over, got to get away
    Pack my bags to no place, in no time, no day
    You and I we used each other's shoulder
    Still so young but somehow so much older
    How can I go home and not get blown away
    You and I had our sights set on something
    Hope this doesn't mean our days are numbered
    I've got plans for more than a wanted man
    All around this chaos and madness
    Can't help feeling nothing more than sadness
    Only choice to face it the best I can
    When the war is over, got to start again
    Try to hold a trace of what it was back then
    You and I we sent each other stories
    Just a page I'm lost in all its glories
    How can I go home and not get blown away
    Ain't nobody gonna steal this heart away
    Ain't nobody gonna steal this heart away

    I’ve watched allot of Cold Chisel reaction vids. What I love about this one is you actually talk about and discuss the lyrics and the songs meaning. Most if not all just talk about he singing and instruments, which are Awseome, but the song writing and lyrics and their meanings are down to earth, deep and meaningful. Thanks for talking about the songs meaning. Great to see. Well done 👍

    One of the many incredible and legendary songs by Cold Chisel, and this is no exception. If your have not seen it as yet, and to true understanding of Jimmy Barnes, the man, the performer, a true Aussie Icon in every sense of the word, then you have to see Working Class Boy. It really gives an insight as to his up bringing and the struggles he faced as a kid at that time. Totally and thoroughly recommend it

  • @BassMatt1972
    @BassMatt1972 Год назад +3

    This is an "acoustic version".. a "reunion" after MANY years apart.
    Possibly one of the most beautiful songs ever written. My fave.. Mossys voice is so pure, with a slight American twang (US boy grew up in Central Australia).. The way their voices harmonise and their timbres interact is just sublime.. Did ya pick Jims slight Scottish Aussie accent? He sounds Scot to me and Im part Scot haha.
    There is a John Farhnam version with Barnsey.. and Farnhams version is beyond ridiculous! So talented. So good.
    Written by the drummer, Steve Prestwich (R.I.P.). And Chisel (as us Aussies call them) was a band that every single member wrote a hit song! (Not many bands have that!)

  • @frankcollum6354

    Hi guys, Cold Chisel is arguably Australia’s most loved band & I assume you have also seen the great John Farnham performing The Voice & a completely different cover version of the Beatles Help. Also watch him covering the great AC/DCs Long Way To The Top, If You Wanna Rock n Roll. However, for possibly the best duet you have ever seen, watch John Farnham & another Aussie, Olivia Newton John performing Please Don’t Ask Me from a live concert The Main Event. Absolutely stunning. Enjoy….

    @golgoxiii7314 Год назад +1

    It's a really good song and there is alot of people that missunderstand what the song is about (which is understandable). But the song is acutally about a relationship breakup, not actually a vet comming home. not sure if anyone else has mentioned it but that's what it is according to Steve Prestwich (R.I.P) who was the song writer I believe.

  • @TamaToa-y1s
    @TamaToa-y1s Год назад +1

    It's more about a relationship breakdown than soldiers. It's about protecting yourself from further heartbreak.

  • @adwood201
    @adwood201 Год назад

    Really, it's for anyone who goes off and lives through difficulty and life changing events. I had been away from my family almost ten years and when I went back to visit there was no longer any real connection with them and there was no way I felt I could belong like I did before. My values and ideals had changed far too much and I was happy to get back to the life I had built up. It's very odd to find yourself being thought of as a local legend when you know in yourself it's not deserved.

  • @rogerphillipo1583
    @rogerphillipo1583 Год назад

    This song is not about a physical war. It is about war in a love relationship that's gone sour and all that's now left is the heart ache. You can literally hear the writers heart breaking in this song.
