I am from the U.S., & this song chokes me up every time. One of my very favorite bands from high school to this day, & one of the most brilliant & powerful songs ever written--for Australia & the world.
Just heard the very sad news of the passing of “Bones” Hillman, and immediately thought of this song with his beautiful voice singing “Country One”. Such a melodic counterpoint to PG. Thoughts and love to his family and members of the Oils. Rest in Peace mate.
I believe every Australian, whether black, or white, Christian, or Muslim, whatever race or religion should consider this song and do their best to live as one and make Australia a country to be proud of always! go the oils!
To Rob, Martin, Jim & Peter. So sorry to hear about Bones. Found out Sunday whilst watching The Sound. The message came up on the screen. I couldnt believe my eyes. I love the OILS. Bones had great vocals, especially on this track. He will be missed by all Oils fans.
Masterpiece. So. Good . Such talented people. I feel every note, chord, harmonizing. They put their egos aside and saw the bigger picture. I’m no Aussie but this should be national anthem. Always loved this band before all Aussie bands for some reason.
I'm french and I discovered Midnight Oil when I was 10 years. You was my favorite group, I was a big fan ... I'm 42 now and I love you forever 💖 Je ne suis pas bilingue alors c'est en français que je vous envoie mes sincères condoléances. Comme beaucoup, je suis triste de sa disparition mais là-bas, c'est sûr, il ne souffre plus. Je vous envoie plein de courage et plein d'ondes magnifiques 🌞🌈💖💖💖💪
One of the truly great Oils songs. Captures the activism of the band in the lyrics & should motivate more of the population of this nation to be more active in the future of Australia. The song is spine tingling & always moves me. "One vision, one people, one land mass, we are defenceless, we have a lifeline, one ocean, one policy, sea bed lies, one passion, one movement, one instant,one difference, one lifetime, one understanding."
I'm not australian, but this song is the best of the own country love. Here is everyting of their country loving. Super and grats. One of my favourites of the Oil
had been in oz 1 year on a work visa and they were playin this as we we flew over uluru on the way back to uk...only bout dozen people on the plane, special memories
they are STLL AHEAD OF THE TIMES! HONESTY POWER AND PASSION AT ITS BEST !UNTMOST RESPECT !First hear them when i was 12 , my twins are 10 now and im 45 and for me -as i am teaching them what nature of music really is -they sound as much uplifting and passionate as the day I first heard to them many years ago.!You Aussie people have to be proud - Oils did Australia excellent service !
Devastated to hears of the death of Bones Hillman. This was one of my favourite Oils songs (one of many admittedly) in which he sang that gorgeous solo. So sad 😭😭😭😭
January 2022 and listening to this again with goosebumps and tears in my eyes. It's always been one of my favorites, but it feels even more powerful now with Bones gone. Bones, wherever you are, I hope you know how much you are loved and how much you are missed.
Bones has passed, the bass player here. Outstanding musician, but you can see that. He was a big factor (makes him sound like a commodity) in the Auckland punk scene. Rest in love brother x
My favourite band since I was a 12yr old in 1981. I've been playing this song a lot lately. It has taken on new urgency and meaning as we sit at the crossroads for determining the direction this planet and its people will take... no longer up on that fence.
RIP Bones 💔 always one of my favourite songs due to your beautiful harmony. The whole band means so much to me....because you stand up for what matters (and you light up a stage like no other) Sending so much love to the Midnight Oil family and more especially to Bones' family 🙏❤
I was going through one of my "boxes of stuff" a few weeks ago (May 2023) and found the first Midnight Oil album (cassette) I ever purchased. It was the 10, 9, 8, 7, 6, 5 , 4, 3, 2, 1. album. I purchased it in late 1982 or early 1983. I graduated high school in 82. It still works. I've been hooked ever since. Amazing band and an incredible message.
I saw Midnight Oil at Western Plains Zoo in Dubbo 30 odd years ago... I remember Peter Garrett's hands waving around from their stand on Monkey Island... Years later I am still in awe of this great Australian band and I think this is their greatest song ever. Brilliant penned lyrics, haunting solos and an amazing film clip showing true Australian images. An iconic Australian band who sang from the heart and soul
RIP Bones, You had the voice of an angel and I suspect that might have helped PG collapse into tears recording this song. Blue Sky Mining is my favourite album of all time....bar none. I adore the Oils....
Going to miss you Bones. That beautiful voice is now gone and I’ll always feel sad now listening to this and watching this and think of you when I hear it. The way the song calms down like the end of a storm and your voice guides us out of it, it’s what your voice was capable of. Thanks for the music, I’m just happy I got to see you on stage.
Midnight Oil playing tonight in LA. This song I keep going back to....my country (USA) is being torn apart. This song inspires me. Peter sing it for us in the USA please!
So devastated to hear about the death of Bones Hillman. “One Country” one of my fave Oils songs, and his singing is a big part of why I love this song. Thoughts go out to Peter, Rob, Jim & Martin. 😭
Happy OZ Day everyone,dedicate to my Australian friend in Queensland,so glad to know you since1990,love your country,your personality,your work to learn our language as a French Teacher,amitiés toujours,on vous aime les amis
One country is what the world could be, no wars, no hunger, no despots, one family, we bleed red, have two eyes, legs, hands and feet, we are the same, different hues, we all need to eat. Spread the word, spread the love, be a human being, the bird of peace, the dove.
One of their best songs! And all their collection is simply wonderful! I love so much this song for it shows they love their country, Australia, and I think about my country, Argentina, that I love so much,,, I am crying, Believe me. I feel this band as if they were my loving brothers.
I wish I had the chance to watch them play live in my country (Argentina) or somewhere near. I am a big fan of them. Almost all songs are amazing, deep, musically beautiful. This song is a clear example.
Arrepiadíssima!!! É a mesma emoção que sinto ao ouvir o Hino Nacional Brasileiro! Letra e música lindíssimas, One Country deveria ser o Hino Nacional Australiano. Midnight Oil é sensacional!!!
today is my birthday 55 years, I listen this track and I sing, at his release we didn't know how this words are important so don't have a thought for me but for the earth and do everything is possible to change your habits and your consommation, please drop the plastic ! buy only what is necessary and to countries, and at people who have an ethics WE HAVE THE POWER ! we are numerous it's our weapon… for enjoy this day and the future
Every human being in this world should be treated as if we are all one country. One gender, one age, one nationality, one race. We have a very short time. Let us help each other.
I can’t tell you the number of times I watch and listen to this video. It really gets to me not only because of Bones One Country line but how the song and video fit together. It makes me emotional every time. I just recently bought Blue Sky Mining and Diesel and Dust on cd. Originally had both on cassette. Both of my favorite Oils albums. Never get tired of listening to them.
and ultimately you could replace it with one universe. the pleadians, andromedans, sirians, arcturians and orions are in this together with us as well.
all good songs ,from midnight oil ,a realistic band , one of his songs ,country world reminds me of mick jagger with some of his lyrics,and voicings ,a political outcast to some - love them

Rest in peace, Bones Hillman. He added a lot of beauty to the Oils' music, nowhere more so than this song. Thank you for everything.
So sad...
Well said mate
My high school band. Crap news.
This has always been my favorite Midnight Oil song ... hits me every time and tonight more than ever
Such sad news. I've always loved this song for the treat of hearing Bones' beautiful voice.
I am from the U.S., & this song chokes me up every time.
One of my very favorite bands from high school to this day, & one of the most brilliant & powerful songs ever written--for Australia & the world.
Yes! :D
Same here
Damn we're gettin' old Ben. Feel the same.
Amen brother, I'm with you!!

Bones u bloody legend, Rest In Peace mate n we r having a few beers on you ,:-0
Most underrated song of the oils, pure masterpiece
I believe every Australian, whether black, or white, Christian, or Muslim, whatever race or religion should consider this song and do their best to live as one and make Australia a country to be proud of always! go the oils!
Who is our neighbour? Anyone who needs help. One love, one life time.
Australia best Country in the World. 👍🇦🇺🐨
When the muslims can take it on the chin no worries
R.I.P. Bones Hillman,his backing vocal carries this song to great heights.
True
Who was he? The one who's singing "one country, one country..." at 2:52?
@@_H__T_ Yes.
Great kiwi playing bass and singing like an angel. Now gone
The swingers of I am right originally RIP BONES ❤️
One of the many unappreciated great songs by Midnight Oil.
Blue Sky Mining was a flawless album.
Mike Spearwood, agreed! And the trio of River Runs Red, Shakers and Movers, and One Country in succession is pure musical bliss!
unappreciated is a better word for underrated.
fully agree!!!
I know 4 people who say this is their favourite song. It's close to mine that's for sure.
Thank all of you guys, I became political because of you guys and it changed my life. I am forever in your debt.

they were definitely ahead of the times -- as I view the ugly politics where I am (in the US) the Oils are very relevant today.
Mormons say one baptism and we need to research what that really means for peace.

when the guitarist starts singing "one country, country one" I get chills, this is about as patriotically Australian as any aussie song gets
Same thing happens to me :)
That be Bones Hillman 'I'm Counting the Beat'. Legend. Had a great band The Swingers way back.
That is Bones who lost his battle with cancer,R.I.P. mate.
Bones has passed, the bass player here.
Outstanding musician, but you can see that.
He was a big factor (makes him sound like a commodity) in the Auckland punk scene.
Rest in love brother x
@@turls5456 Correct Wayne Stevens AKA 'Bones Hillman'. I think his nickname is due to him being skinny and he drove a hillman panelvan.
Midnight Oil. A legendary band. This is their best song though underrated. It gives you chills and makes you think.
My favourite band since I was a 12yr old in 1981. I've been playing this song a lot lately. It has taken on new urgency and meaning as we sit at the crossroads for determining the direction this planet and its people will take... no longer up on that fence.
When I was 19 it was my favorite band and still it is and I'm 50:)
this country needs the oils again
it's time
John Arvanitis But The Greens won't let us 😉
i was hoping for a new studio album.
we have them,we always will
One of the best bands. Thank you and rest in peace, Bones Hillman.

RIP Bones Hillman - the voice behind One Country. 😓
This song should epitomize every country, state, community...always...always!
How have I never heard this? It’s a revelation.
a beautiful song that paints a beautiful portrait of a beautiful country
So devastated to hear about the death of Bones Hillman. “One Country” one of my fave Oils songs, and his singing is a big part of why I love this song. Thoughts go out to Peter, Rob, Jim & Martin. 😭
And his family of course 😔
This song and visuals always makes me so proud to be Australian!
This is such a powerful song. One of their best.
One of the best Concerts ever, Riverbend in Cincinnati 94
Powerful and rightfully expressed. He was right for so long.. The truth is in his music
your right
❤❤ I STILL 😢cry at times hearing this song..
Bonsey is STILL, IN MY HEART, EVEN THO it has been a bit over three years since his passing.
beautiful song,great band,hello from Serbia
Always welcome here brother 🙏🇦🇺
my all time fav song of theirs.... love how it builds, and the raw power of him... stops me in my tracks every single time I hear it!!
It's amazing how it builds. One of the things that contributes to the greatness of this song.
Makes me cry every goddamn time. Oils forever in my black heart.
Their best song but one of many
Happy OZ Day everyone,dedicate to my Australian friend in Queensland,so glad to know you since1990,love your country,your personality,your work to learn our language as a French Teacher,amitiés toujours,on vous aime les amis
My dear friends who likes this extraordinary band, regards from Brazil.
so good could listen for hours, days, weeks, months or even years
you can read the bible for 50 years and still see something new. such is a good combination
One country is what the world could be, no wars, no hunger, no despots, one family, we bleed red, have two eyes, legs, hands and feet, we are the same, different hues, we all need to eat. Spread the word, spread the love, be a human being, the bird of peace, the dove.
I am Brazilian fã of M.Oil. Great hug for all. 2020. Itu - São Paulo - BRASIL
One Country as best it can be coming soon, yes for a Voice. Thankyou Midnight Oil xo
Another fantastic song by the Oils that has matured with time and is now more relevant than ever!
I doubt anyone from Midnight Oil will ever rest, or be at peace. So Bones, if you are still out there, keep fighting.
One of their best songs! And all their collection is simply wonderful! I love so much this song for it shows they love their country, Australia, and I think about my country, Argentina, that I love so much,,, I am crying, Believe me. I feel this band as if they were my loving brothers.
I love this song. Yes it gives me chills. RIP Bones.😢
Gives me goosebumps just listening to it...Aussie proud.
I'm German. I listened to this song so often when I was a teenager, I still can sing along. That was in the 90's.
I wish I had the chance to watch them play live in my country (Argentina) or somewhere near. I am a big fan of them. Almost all songs are amazing, deep, musically beautiful. This song is a clear example.
Whenever I have a troubles or I'm depressed I just listen to that song.... Guys we need more inspiration in our miserable life!!!
Rest in piece Bones Hill from Canada. One of my favorite bands!
Arrepiadíssima!!! É a mesma emoção que sinto ao ouvir o Hino Nacional Brasileiro! Letra e música lindíssimas, One Country deveria ser o Hino Nacional Australiano. Midnight Oil é sensacional!!!
vdd to de acordo com vc.... essa banda e o bicho.....
Thanks for your reply
@@petergarrett2751, thank you, Mr Garrett, for your attention.

Rest in power, Bones. You have the voice of an angel, and now you can sing along with them. 🙏
Thanks for your support
It's a really a beautiful song..
There IS a lof a depth

Best Oils Song Ever.
you could replace one country with one world.
We're all in this together
Clean and Good one country, my friend... 💜
we are all of one bread and everything is interconnected.
Clean and Good well said I agree
Not enough syllables.
and ultimately you could replace it with one universe.
the pleadians, andromedans, sirians, arcturians and orions are in this together with us as well.
Iconic song.
Rest in peace Mr Hillman. Thanks for all the great bass playing and the great vocals.
One of my favorite songs. Waht a voice, Bones. RIP .

Show de música e vídeo
Sou brasileiro ,42 anos e adoro essa música desde meus 16 anos ,minha adolescência roqueira e rebelde.
Eu com 17anos eu curto essa música quando viajo para algum lugar com paisagem bonita ponho essa música no radio para ficar escuntando.
Such a beautiful song ... melody, lyrics, and message.
Midnight Oil always make me proud to be Australian,what a great clip,our wide brown wilderness is magnificent.
What a wonderful song
