So many come here and many don't want to leave and they don't. So what I'm saying is that there's something in what you are saying. Happy Australia Day!!!
@@MajorMalfunction I completely agree and there's no place on this earth that I would rather be. It's a very enticing land and once you come here you don't want to leave, it becomes part of you. I come from the first settlers on the soil with a little Irish/English settlers mixed in there, it's my blood, my soul.
Cheers I'm west of Toowoomba and you can the storms but hey it's that time of the year what can you do but sweat smile and just feel pretty glad to be an Aussie happy Australia Day everyone Aussie Aussie Aussie oi oi oi gawd we're days lol
I think there are my favourite lyrics from the song: "And in the distance, through the heat haze, In convoys of silence the cattle graze. " Love it. Thanks for reacting to this. Happy australia day all.
Being from Queensland with another cyclone passing over our coast just yesterday, yes this is Australia. Sitting out on the decks of our "Queenslanders" a architectural style particular to Queensland, breathing in that oppressive air, knowing full well, that a storm is not far away, waiting for the relief, which often comes at a cost, large hail, fallen trees, along with often flooded streams, rivers, towns and our city, Brisbane. Great song, great clip and wouldn't live anywhere else.
@@ronthornton3466 Nice try, but you are incorrect. The song was written by Mark Callaghan about living in Bundaberg, Queensland. You know the words "cane fields", is a hint!!!
This song is an 80s classic ❤ though the video has dated a bit 😅 England-born lead singer Graham 'Buzz' Bidstrup wrote it about his immigrant family's early days in Bundaberg, a town servicing the sugar industry, about 4 hrs' drive north of Brisbane. I always think of growing up in sweltering humidity when I hear it. Very Australian 😊
This particular video was made in 2005, so 20 years after the original release (original video was from Rock Arena). Singer is actually Mark Callaghan - Buzz is their drummer. 🙂
@@lisaluppi3533 Ah that makes sense. I was wondering why Buzz, in particular was looking so old. I actually prefer the live version that was recorded for Rock Arena back in the day. I find the video a little messy, for want of a better description.
My town is a cane growing town. I look over the cane fields. Today's humidity is 77%, the temp is 27 right now at 10.20pm but was at a high of 32 today. This song describes my life more perfectly than any other 😂🥰
Even though I’m down south, away from the humidity, this song feels like home. The night time heat, the thunderstorm cool change that makes everything better.
One of my fav Aussie songs of all time. In 2021 they recorded ''Australian Medley'' featuring part of 'Sounds of then' as well as other Aussie classics like 'Great Southern Land' , 'To her door', 'Almost with you'and more. You should check it out as well
Another classic Aussie song! This is an absolute anthem here in the North…the humidity, the lightening cracking over cane fields…totally descriptive of summer here. We celebrated Australia Day after a Cat 3 cyclone! Cyclone Kirrily hit Townsville on the night of 25th January with wind gusts between 155-170Km/hr. Luckily there has been no major structural damage except to our electricity supply - we finally got power back this afternoon in our area but other suburbs are still out. We still have a lot to clean up in the next few months.😢
Last few days I have been prepared meat, tenderising and marinating, Today I fired up the Barbie and barbecued burgers, sausages, kebabs, onions, etc, and served them up with a few different types of salad and cold drink. It's very much a family day for me
Great song from back in the days when music was fun. 11.00 pm Australia Day here in Dayboro Queensland and it's 32 degrees and 98% humidity on my back deck so I can certainly relate to the chorus.
What else is there to do on Australia Day when the next day is a Saturday? Get drunk of course!!! BBQ with friends before going to see the fireworks. This is in my top 5 favourite songs of all time.
Good reaction. All of the seemingly random background imagery relates to specific Australian things - famous people and places, wildlife, historical events, inventions, culture, etc.. Way too many to even try to list here.
some of them were in "the riptides" . a great indie band. This is a very queensland song. beautiful. this version seemed a little quicker than the original release. ambulance men is about the country towns of yesteryear. chrstine anu doing "my island home" is also considered an awesome anthem. the triffids with wide open road... covering the vastness.
I learned to play guitar by watching Rob James when he played at the Octagon Theatre in South Australia. I've spoken to him on the phone a few times. I'm glad to see him still using the Guild Starfire in this video.
growing up during 80s, everyone blasted this, but it never gets old and annoying, great BBQ music, especially on a sunny summer arvo after being at beach all day surfing
The humidity is mostly above the Tropic of Capricorn. Further south, it comes after the rains/cyclones that cross the country from the north. Also, cane fields are much more so in the northern eastern states. Less so in WA. You flocking rock, MSTV! You know you're an honorary Australian already, right?! 😊
I'd love to see you please react to 'Baker Boy'. He's an indigenous Australian hip-hop artist, sings in a combination of English and a native language (Yolngu Matha) and plays a didgeridoo. Great Australian music! I recommend the song 'Marryuna'👌
Our family descendents come from first fleet, got transport in colonial days. He was a baker in england and someone he knew back in england stole a pheasant bird and gave it to my great,great,great many times great grand father to bake him a pheasant pie and i don't know if he knew it eas stolen or not but he got a pie out of it for his family for baking it and was cought and sent to Australia and became governor phillips personal baker. Thats where our roots come from here. I think when his time was completed he got his freedom. I want to try and find out more but a lot of our family history has been lost over the generations because back in the day peole were ashamed of that in the family . But these days everyone i know that have descendants from transportation on the first fleet are so proud of their history as am I. My grandfather did not talk much about this he was ashamed that it brought shame on the family name. But Australia is the greatest continent on the planet, looking how other countries are today especially america with all the crime and drugs and crazy people around. Makes you appreciate how lucky we really are to be in such a beautiful country like Australia, and proud to be an Aussie. Happy Australia Day everyone🇭🇲🇭🇲🇭🇲🇭🇲🇭🇲🇭🇲🇭🇲🇭🇲🇭🇲🇭🇲🇭🇲🇭🇲🇭🇲🇭🇲🇭🇲🇭🇲🇭🇲🇭🇲🇭🇲🇭🇲🇭🇲🇭🇲👍👍👍👍👍👍🙂🙂🙂🙂🙂🙂🙂🙂🙂🙂🙂🍻🍺🍻🍺🍻🍺🍻🍺🍻🍺🔥😎
G’day. Love my country. Am a very proud Aussie. Another song to react to is Kasey Chambers cover of Lose Yourself from Eminem. Great song with a great cover. Love your channel.
Original video was from 1985 Rock Arena special, then a second one done in 1995, then this one in 2005. They're all on RUclips, but weirdly, not on the GANG channel at this point in time.
Yep this is a great song. It has been used a lot as music for various commercial products, like beer, cars, tourism, anything really. Yep it sums up the magic paradise we were fortunate to be born in. We adore our luscious country for all those who live here. The attitudes about Australia Day have changed in recent years; for example Australian aboriginals (as I am) call it Invasion Day, since the British, as I'm sure you know, marks a time when indigenous Australians were slaughtered, their lighter skinned children stolen from the arms of their mothers, in an attempt to breed out aboriginal people. It is a sad day for our First Nations people, and people in general have caught on. You can breed out the colour but you can't breed out the natural born heart that aboriginal people *are* the land, and the land is us. Yeah, I don't celebrate it, preferring to sit next to the air conditioner having a yarn with friends. I believe it should be renamed something like " We *all* Love Australia". I'd celebrate that. x LindyLu from Oz
Top song by Gangajang ....here's anothe beauty - Daughters of the Northern Coast (Sons of Beaches) by Australian Crawl: ruclips.net/video/iYSN8z0x7m0/видео.html
For some of us it's 'Invasion Day. The start of our loss of land, language, culture, children, freedom, rights, dignity and respect. ANY other day please.
Personally I have to say that this song is not flattering to Australia but of course that's just my opinion and probably isn't an opinion shared by all Aussies.
He's fake. He's a professional youtuber with heaps of different channels and just puts on the act to show interest. Every channel is the same keen pretend interest like he cares.
The video is painful. Just too much and cheap. They said they were sitting on a verandah in Bundaberg with lightning cracking over the cane fields, and that inspired the song. That line always gets to me as I lived in Bundaberg for 13 years and they were happy days. The whole humidity, etc was just like that, although the temperature swings were extremely mild, so the climate was easy to get used to and you didn't have many extremes at all. I like the song, but mostly the chorus. And the evocative lyrics.
Classic Aussie song. But the politest thing I can say about the he video remake is its bloody cringy. I'd get band from youtube for life if I said what I really think about the overacting in the video.
This bloke is nothing but a fake, he's a professional youtuber with quite a few different names for each of his channels. He also can't decide if he's living in Malaysia or Borneo, just depends what channel he's doing and what name he's using.
So tell us then? That's quite a statement to make on a video of a guy who is just listening to a song lol. C'mon, give us all the gossip about his other channels.. I'm sure it will be life changing stuff! lol

You don't know it till you know it. The land has a "spirit". And once you've tasted of her fruits, you are hers. You can never leave.
So many come here and many don't want to leave and they don't. So what I'm saying is that there's something in what you are saying.
Happy Australia Day!!!

Happy Australia Day!
"...ode to Australia.." I think that says it all!!

only just started vid, but glad you did this one, 1 of the most iconic songs that really captures life here
this is considered surf rock, hoodoo gurus are another band that were considered surf rock

There was never an official video made back in 1985 - just them playing live on Rock Arena. This video was made in 2005.
