Look up these other Aussie & NZ songstress from that era if you like Deborah Conway: Jenny Morris, Tina Arena, Wendy Matthews. 3 of my favourite singers from that time.
All four marvellous artists. Add in Kate Ceberano, and Gyan (Evans) and her wonderful 1989 hit, Wait, and debut album. And, of course, Deborah Conway was also the actual vocalist on The Takeaways' 1984 hit, Sweet and Sour, written by Sharon O'Neill, another great Antipodean artist of the 80s.
I was seven years old when this was released. I remember there was a mandolin on this track - and I found out my kind Year 2 teacher in 91 still teaches 33 years later.
Deborah is in love. And you can tell she’s in love because she keeps on dropping old Hollywood movie references; “the Lone Ranger couldn’t saddle me with that” “The way you woo me just like Cary Grant.” You can also tell by the way some people think the intro sounds like The Cure’s “Just Like Heaven” Errrm… maybe? And you can tell by the way she feels “the passion, to jump from a speeding train” which may be taking it a little too far. Nonetheless, the love is making her feel alive, and the song is brilliant, and it's an 8
From Guardian Australia 'setting the song on a golf course - a playful homage to the classic 1938 Cary Grant and Katharine Hepburn screwball comedy Bringing Up Baby'.
Man, some nice dolly & jib moves in this one. Gorgeous costumes, luscious colours. I'm guessing this was shot on 35mm. Sally Bongers was D.O.P. I've been trying to find info about her because she is clearly a talented D.O.P but the trail goes cold after 1992. Any clues/info? Deb, can you help?
I would love her to re-release this again though I think she should switch golf for trugo in the video clip, that quintessential Melbourne sport needs a little cool.
@@TheMotiveDJ Definitely those aspects are striking similarities. The chord progression on its own, no, but yes, I think you certainly have a case there.
The riff sounds like a mashup of Just like heaven and Friday im in love, and this was released between the two. Could be a guitarist heavily influenced, but 90% of the song sounds unique and not Cure like in the slightest, so gets a pass imo
Well yeah, but it's an absolutely stock-standard progression, I V ii IV - almost as common as the "four chord song" form that Axis of Awesome made comedy gold from, and just a variation of that I V vi IV. No one can claim ownership of that.
quite at odds with 'man overboard' and DO RE MI all together 6 years earlier.i always found that strange and this release strange felt it was designed to engage her with the mainstream once again,nice song and well sung but the agenda of this release annoyed me
I think although this song is lovely, the lyrics seem to be about someone who's been stood up after a one night stand. Kind of resonates with Man Overboard.

I'll always love this song ❤🇦🇺
You got no idea, 🤩🇦🇺... I couldn't find the love heart
The most beautiful, talented woman in Aussie music. Absolutely stunning.
Sure is, saw her live at princess theatre.she was the back up but definitely took centre stage xx
That's really the best you can do down there? What a shame.
@@docsavage8640get ya head out of the clouds, DILL.
I am reading her book; she is,thankfully,intellgent aswell :)
Aussie legend! ❤
Just discovered Deb Conway and Do Re Mi via a search for the Au Pairs. Phenomenally wonderful.

Congratulations Deborah Conway our Australian of the year, I love this song, this song released 1991, the year i moved to Australia.
delightful song, beautiful artist, fabulous era, and I'd like my next look to be 'vintage golfer'
One of the greatest Australian songs ever. Go Deb ❤
There's a happy sadness in this song...but more than anything, a sadness somwhere in it for me that I understand.
And I❤
This is one of the first songs I remember. It evokes a strong happy feeling of 1991.
Absolutely I was in yr 5
This one reminds me on doing my HSC.
there is class,,, then there is CLASS,,, such a gorgeous lady... even when we were young,,, some people just got it aye.
Am I the only one hearing The Cure - Just like heaven, through out the song's instrumentals, especially the beginning?
Melbourne in the autumn sunshine is splendid.
Then Dan Andrews became Premier lol. It is now an awful place to be.
My favourite song of 1991. Unique video.
Timeless Aussie classic , cant beleive it's 34 years ago when it was released
I was seven years old when this was released. I remember there was a mandolin on this track - and I found out my kind Year 2 teacher in 91 still teaches 33 years later.
Early to mid nineties Australia and New Zealand had great music.
I can't believe this track has only had 10 comments, 130 likes and under 10,000 views in 2 years! It's only the beginning I guess...
I see what you did there.
Has another one now
This song has been in my favourites playlist for 3 decades.
Remembering watching Do Re Mi in the 80s. One of the many great Aussie pub bands.
And Deb is amazing as a soloist.👌
I love Debra Conway she is my muse! I write poetry because of her❤
What a gem!
What a great song she's also very attractive in the music video and a great singer .
That brings back memories from my youth - Deborah as always is looking and sounding stunning here…
Her last name is the same as my uncle.we are abos but we love her!!!!!classic song.❤🎉 by😅
Wow just wow
Just a beautiful song, just beautiful.❤
She wrote this about my xes haha love it still 2025
It was a fabulous time to spend with them at the place I was working with ❤
Yes it is a beautiful song the song before this one remember it well was driving to mount Buller ski field when I heard the song on the radio 1422 3xy
Great to enjoy..thanks Deb x
The light must be fading her high beams are on.🔅🔅
Let's welcome that creepy, unintelligent guy to the comments🤡
Haven't thought of this song for years. It was actually the beginning for me then, my final year of high school.
my 1st year of Uni
@@coopsawright7225 Was it also your last year of uni?
nope. "only the beginning" @@germanicelt

'setting the song on a golf course - a playful homage to the classic 1938 Cary Grant and Katharine Hepburn screwball comedy Bringing Up Baby'.
Definitely has a Katherine Hepburn look & vibe going on there
Classic
Deb this was her hit.but she is such a great singer.🤔😊
Ripper song
Don't worry, i always loved you Deb, it's only the beginning, middle and end, some day darling, you take care always sweetheart.
legend. defund abc.
Amazing. I'm sorry she had to put up with the psychos in Hobart
Man, some nice dolly & jib moves in this one. Gorgeous costumes, luscious colours. I'm guessing this was shot on 35mm. Sally Bongers was D.O.P. I've been trying to find info about her because she is clearly a talented D.O.P but the trail goes cold after 1992. Any clues/info? Deb, can you help?
There should be a longer pause at:
"I feel like breaking wind"
"ow panes all up and down the street".
Please note. As a PGA golf professional, this video should not be used for instructional golf purposes.
Still listening. That's the guy from colin carpenter too😂
When Australian music was gold.
Not the rubbish that is around these days.
to each their own but yes,I must concur.
Oh yeah, she also had a No. 1 with "Read my lips"
Truly a great year.
Did I mention that you're a wanker?
Is the other actress Kaarin Fairfax?
dunno but theyd be cool in a 3 way split
Yes.
I would love her to re-release this again though I think she should switch golf for trugo in the video clip, that quintessential Melbourne sport needs a little cool.
The actress was in Col'n Carpenter about the same time.
Sounds very similar (in places) to Just Like Heaven by The Cure
Who was the director on this shoot?
Please Debrah take advantage of me - Luv U
Cary Grant and Katharine Hepburn screwball comedy Bringing Up Baby1938
The intro is literally lifted note for note from The Cure's "Just Like Heaven". How were they allowed to get away with this plagiarism?
That's exactly why I am here. To compare the two songs. You are spot on - the intro riff is a carbon copy of The Cure's song.
Yeah, that falling guitar scale in the same rhythm is definitely close. Then again, it's just a scale - is a scale something someone can own?
@@topologyrob identical descending melody playing over the exact same 1-5-2-4 chord progression and even in the exact same key?
@@TheMotiveDJ Definitely those aspects are striking similarities. The chord progression on its own, no, but yes, I think you certainly have a case there.
The riff sounds like a mashup of Just like heaven and Friday im in love, and this was released between the two. Could be a guitarist heavily influenced, but 90% of the song sounds unique and not Cure like in the slightest, so gets a pass imo
She should have had the Blown 57 on the clip
🇦🇺
#RobGryn
just the beginning bro
The same cord progression as just like heaven by the cure basically
Not just chords, the guitar melody is literally lifted note for note.
Well yeah, but it's an absolutely stock-standard progression, I V ii IV - almost as common as the "four chord song" form that Axis of Awesome made comedy gold from, and just a variation of that I V vi IV. No one can claim ownership of that.
I always felt this song stole a little too much from The Cure's Just Like Heaven
Sexy woman, great song 🎶
What % royalties go to Robert Smith for writing the original version?
Never knew that
Shame shame shame on you Deborah
Great music, maybe, pity about her politics.
quite at odds with 'man overboard' and DO RE MI all together 6 years earlier.i always found that strange and this release strange
felt it was designed to engage her with the mainstream once again,nice song and well sung but
the agenda of this release annoyed me
Why shouldn't a brilliant artist make some money? At least they could then
I think although this song is lovely, the lyrics seem to be about someone who's been stood up after a one night stand. Kind of resonates with Man Overboard.
Sounds like a Shania rip off
who is Shania?
This is a 1991 hit. A few years before Shania had any releases. Maybe Shania is a Deborah rip off?
great european aussie talent with out doubt...
European Aussie ? Don't bring your American xxxx to this party.
Shower scene in "Running on empty !!"!!!
thats the old state rail symbol isnt it ?
BLATANT rip off of the Cure, just like heaven.
Now you say it !...hmmm ? The jangling, swirling guitars... seems somehow familiar :)
No way man, this sound and feel is nothing like the Cure.
if it was blatant then they would have already been to court bc it is over 30 yrs ago
Not seeing a lawsuit heading her way😊
