    Little River Band is one of the most underrated bands of all times.

      I thought I was the only one who thought that way. I remember that in the 1980's the Music of Australia was next to Engalnd the most prevalant on the Charts in terms of Pop Music. There was Men At Work, INXS and Air Supply. Rick Springfield started playing Dr. Noah Drake on General Hospital and Tristan Rogers became the First Successful Australian Actor on a US Soap General Hospital that Megan Markle had a small part on back in the day. Tristan would later kick the Door Open for Australian Actors on other US Soaps like All My Children, The Young & The Restless, As The World Turns & Gudiing Light. Also keep in mind that to this Day Olivia Newton-John (who although was born in England was raised in Australia) who not only kicked the door open for Kylie & Danni Minogue and Keith Urban but for Australian Actors in Hollywood from Russell Crowe, Mel Gibson, Nicole Kidman and Cate Blanchett all of which would win Oscars.

Enjoying being young ,This song reminds me of my FANTASTIC Life as a teen in the 70s I would pass up on a BILLION dollars in a heart beat ,,To be able to go back to 1970, And do it all over,

    "That was beautiful". I was a kid when this song came out and it seriously still moves me so deeply every time I hear it. I think it's a combination of bittersweet melancholy and the beauty of the song because it reminds me so much of my mama who passed away in '95. She liked The Little River Band a lot and so have I ever since because of that. It makes me happy and sad to hear this lovely song.

    This song is so beautiful in it's concept and performance.. I saw LRB on their first major gig as back up/opening act to Doobie Brothers at Festival Hall Australia in approx 1971 and they were so good they got a standing ovation that went on for minutes. And when Doobies started the Oz audience were unimpressed. In fact it took 3/4 of Doobies set and a 25% boost of volume on their superior equipment to finally win the audience over. Long live LRB music..

  • @maggieanne5340

    Hi Jamel!
    Beautiful song. Here is the back story of it...
    "This song was written by Little River Band lead singer Glenn Shorrock at a time when tensions ran high in the band. Shorrock, who told Songfacts that he and guitarist Graeham Goble were like "chalk and cheese," needed a cool change from the internecine squabbles. In this song, he goes into reverie, dreaming of spending some tranquil time to himself in nature.
    At the time, he kept this interpretation under wraps, but Shorrock later admitted the song was a "cry for help."
    Much of the lyric is about sailing and the feeling of being on the "cool and bright clear water." Shorrock wasn't much of a seafarer at the time, but he did take up sailing a short time later, abetted in the expensive hobby by his earnings from this song. Shorrock lived on Sydney Harbor and later took a second home in Fiji. The South Pacific became one of his favorite places to sail.
    With a mellow '70s sound and specific references to sailing, this song is the apotheosis of yacht rock, a genre that became quite popular in America in the '00s and helped revive the music of the Little River Band. Glenn Shorrock stayed away from the various yacht rock tours due to contractual squabbles - he left the band for good in 1996 and was barred from performing under the Little River Band moniker as part of an agreement.
    In 2001, the Australasian Performing Right Association (APRA) named this one of the 30 greatest Australian songs of the last 75 years. The song's writer, Glenn Shorrock, was invited to the ceremony, where he reconnected with fellow LRB founder Graeham Goble, who was being honored for the song "Reminiscing," which he wrote for the band. They hadn't been in a lineup together since 1990 and had cut ties with the band, but they got on well and decided to make more music together. They contacted Beeb Birtles, another founder and the third piece of their famous harmony vocals. Together, they formed a group called BSG and began performing in 2002."

I was deeply depressed living in Sioux Falls South Dakota and I sold everything I had to go down to Florida to work with my cousin and this was one of the songs he played for me after he picked me up from the airport so I always get teary eyed when I hear it!
