In other words, how can you sit there while your friends and families beds are burning. Help them because YOU CAN!!!! YOU ARE A HERO TO THOSE YOU LOVE!!!!
Hello Jillian my first concert in Aus was ACDC when i was 8 or 9. It cost 25cents back in 1973 with Little River Band as the headliner at our local library....lol.... Seen Midnight Oil a few times but he got waaaay too political at his concerts....lol...
To clarify for Americans, because this song is from a country that uses a different temperature scale, 45 degrees celsius is well above human body temperature and genuinely unpleasant to walk around in.
I’m an oldschool punk fan and a Rise Against fan since 2004, I did not know what to expect, and boy was I not disappointed. Absolutely great collaboration.
Awol is ON FIRE! Seriously. Can Aaron even make a sub par song? I don’t even typically like covers. How many anthems can someone create? He’s one of my musical heroes. Every album is gold.
Was a little put off by the sound at first, but it quickly grew on me. The song and video are absolute masterpieces. Gives me goosebumps. Can't stop coming back for more.
I thought he same exact thing about the sound , but something about the video was amazing so I kept watching it more and more and the song grew on me., now it's the best cover of Beds
Man!! I absolutely love the intensity of awolnation's front man's voice! He has such a high range along with very powerful volume! I really love it, it's like he is screaming in tune!! Very extreme, very powerful!!
Wow, I was thinking the other day hey why haven't I herd a cover for Bed Are Burning. Then the universe was like here you go. Oh and some cherries thrown on top. Peace.
I have no doubt that “Midnight Oil” is happy to hear their music being embraced by new generations. MAYBE, just maybe, if we all work together we can achieve climate change and help stem the tide of inequality that exists world wide!
I didn't even realize i knew this song haha. Most classic rock songs i listened to so much as a kid when i couldn't understand the words of songs, so i just made up gibberish to sing along with.
I didn’t want to like this. I even resisted listening to it for several weeks because I hate when my favorite 80s songs are covered (usually badly). But good job AWOL, you got me. This is a certified banger.
I'm actually quite weary when bands cover songs that I absolutely love. But this version fucking rocks. One of the best covers I've heard in a long time. Love the style. Gotta check out the rest of their music :)
Spotify turned me on to this song. The video is amazing. I'm obsessed

The song was originally about the Gadigal tribes that were moved off their ancestral lands so the Australian government could test nuclear weapons.
@@briannaamore1383 yes, this. The beds are literally burning.
Wasn't expecting the man, the legend, the mythical Tim McIlrath himself from Rise Against to collab with AWOLNATION but I totally fexking dig this!
My first concert when I was 3 was Midnight Oil. Yes, 3. My parents owned a music store - they started me young! My dad is still my #1 concert buddy. 💜
Fantastic. Great band to be your first live experience.
Turning 44and I've only been to a single concert. Poverty sucks, but that's OK. I'm autistic and the crowd was a lot to deal with.

So sweet...you were spoiled musically..wild.
Dad goals.

No fucking shit
Dafuq.
@@whammersbach Americans are real and they're out there. Also thank you for replying to this comment so I could go back and see the video again.
@@lexslate2476 here in America 45 degrees means it pretty chilly outside.
@@campinatorxbox1610 I know, that's why I provided the initial explanation. In your system, 45 Celsius translates to about 113. aka, hot as balls.
I was like WHAAAA...
Then I was like YESSSS..
Like button hit!!! Golden buzzer!!!
Tim is an amazing human. I'm obsessed with everything that he does.
Same pal, same
You're not the only one here ksksksksksks

Never in my life did I think I would hear a Midnight Oil cover by a popular band.
Alexisonfire does a BOMB version of The Dead Heart
Seriously? A second Classic!
I'm loving these covers so much!!! Man, those Megalithic sounds mixed with this song are a masterpiece, please never stop making music!!
QUITE SO!!!! I'm LOVING that this cover doesn't dillute the power behind the song, not one bit!!!!
😀
yeaaaa
Awol is ON FIRE! Seriously. Can Aaron even make a sub par song? I don’t even typically like covers. How many anthems can someone create? He’s one of my musical heroes. Every album is gold.
Was a little put off by the sound at first, but it quickly grew on me. The song and video are absolute masterpieces. Gives me goosebumps. Can't stop coming back for more.
Agreed, don't think it needs all the distortion on the intro and some of the refrains, but its a great cover and techno shift of the song.
I thought he same exact thing about the sound , but something about the video was amazing so I kept watching it more and more and the song grew on me., now it's the best cover of Beds
I feel the same! But love it now!
That's why sail is one of my favorite songs, the power and intensity of being able to literally scream in tune!!
The perfect video to the perfect song.
Tim Mcilrath voice is great
Wish he'd do some more touring or do some more solo work. He has too good of voice to be sitting on the sidelines.
I agree. He has really evolved from early Rise Against.
I am beyond stoked for this album! It’s hitting just right so far
This song is better than midnight oil beds are burning
Midnight Oil walked so Awolnation could run
A+
Man, I loved the original but Holy cow! Talk about a cover done well!!
The 80’s are back, baby, and I for one am going to enjoy this second trip with THE BEST MUSIC for as long as we’re allowed…
Man!! I absolutely love the intensity of awolnation's front man's voice! He has such a high range along with very powerful volume! I really love it, it's like he is screaming in tune!! Very extreme, very powerful!!
Aaron slaps
This video perfectly captures all my best dance moves
That's why I love covers like these. You can sing along even when you hear it the first time.
i love the way these guys owned this song.
Absolutely luvv this video
this should have 10 million views well one day I’m here 34k
The timing of this release. ❤️😭🌍🌎🌏
Yes I do wonder how this Scott Morrison lead Liberal Party can sleep when our beds are literally burning
If you are listening to this and liking it, you are a legend.
I'm going to wear this song out so fast, I can't stop hitting repeat.
HOW AM I JUST HEARING OF THIS NOW OMG
I LOVE IT PLEASE RELEASE THE ALBUM FASTER
just amazing
I'm here!!! I've waited all night!!!!
This is a pleasant surprise right before bed!
Wow, I was thinking the other day hey why haven't I herd a cover for Bed Are Burning. Then the universe was like here you go. Oh and some cherries thrown on top. Peace.
nice. Very nice
Awolnation is raising earths level of consciousness! They are aware of the matrix
This is an awesome 21st century cover of Midnight Oils ‘Bed are burning’ song from the 1980’s
4:20 nice
Nice
Noice
MASSIVE retooling of an 80s classic & these visuals are absolute 🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥
2:45 My favorite shot of an amazing video! It reignited my interests into CG and compositing. Good job to Hall and the Gingerbear Haus team!
cover of a Aussie classic
Blown away!!! 😃
GO TIM GO!
Love the Drum in this song!!
Hammerteil😎😎😎😎
File under things I didn't know I needed, but I'm glad I have now!
I want to hit the like button a 💯 times
I love the way they dance, kinda slow n weirrrrrd
I need someone to groove like that with. No shame, all rhythm
It grew on me, as often. It's very nice! :D
2 of my favourite artist, fuck yeah !!
Picking all of my favourite songs to cover :)
I’m such a fan of Awolnation! Seen them 10 times in 10 years. Their music never disappoints and this cover is amazing!!! Can’t wait for the album!
I ♥️This!!!!
Question: "Can you take a song from the 80's and make it even more 80s than the original?" Awolnation: "Hold my beer."
Corny
At what point does he do that?
I’m sure he meant it as a compliment. This is a banger.
…and watch this
I know you meant well, but this is not 80's sounding. It is however a fucking marvelous track, if I may say so myself.
I have major marvel star lord vibes! It's so great!
Oh this is awesome and love that you used an Aussie song,couldn't be more in love,what an honor to have you sing this❤❤❤❤🇦🇺
Just lost my dad and this was his favorite song ever... 😢
May He Rest In Peace
Why say that online?
At first I thought, yeah there's no way this will be as good as the original. Pleasantly surprised.
I cant hate on this remake. It rocks. Well done, AWOLNATION.
Damn what a cool cover.
Awolnation killed it.
Bones Hillman would approve 👌
Great cover
Absolutely amazing thanku so much love and God bless always x
May 6th can't come soon enough!
one of my favorites from the list
A masterpiece just got a modern upgrade!
Faithful to the original, distinctly Awolnation, Amazing!
Well said!
Wow!
I have no doubt that “Midnight Oil” is happy to hear their music being embraced by new generations. MAYBE, just maybe, if we all work together we can achieve climate change and help stem the tide of inequality that exists world wide!
I’m tripping rn and holy shot this iv cool asf
"The time has come..." to vibe once again☻
This is amazing. #RiseAgainst
This song just got more and more true.
What a banger!
I loved so much the animation style
Super Cover Song, höre ihn täglich!
I didn't even realize i knew this song haha. Most classic rock songs i listened to so much as a kid when i couldn't understand the words of songs, so i just made up gibberish to sing along with.

How do you break a curse if you don’t know what the curse is? Time to pay our share🖐🏻!
Fantastic cover, thank you!
❤ this song is about the environment 😢
This is so sick
Props to AN for bringing a classic Oils hit into the 21st century.
Nice!! Awesome version of the Midnight Oil song.
Fuck yeah
I'm sad to say I only discovered this earlier yesterday. But, copious use of the replay button can fix that thankfully
This cover is F*****G BRILLIANT!!!
Love this cover.
💜💜💜
It makes my ears and brain so happy :)
This video is awesome! I hope to see Aaron in that outfit in concert! It would be epic!
I'm actually quite weary when bands cover songs that I absolutely love. But this version fucking rocks. One of the best covers I've heard in a long time. Love the style. Gotta check out the rest of their music :)
Tim McIlrath was EXACTLY the right person to get for this cover.
I was just about to type this! I've loved this song since my youth!
Weary or leery or both. I get you.
Agreed. I really dig MO and these guys gave us a great cover!
It’s very subpar and pretty annoying. Shit taste.
Nailed it.
what a banger song
Amazing!!! Can’t wait for the entire album!
So groovy. Watch this to start your day on the right foot. Thank you for this cover.
Outstanding!
Chorus like a "I'll be ok - nothing more"
This is the best music video I’ve seen in a long time!!!!
