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...
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.
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
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.

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!!
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 :)
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.
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.
Very cool!! I love when a band does a cover but still has their bands sounds all over it. If that makes any sense. Either way 💯 ✌✌...also so dig the video. Much like the first on except like pulled in to the digital age.
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 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.
This is awesome!!! I've been listening to Aaron's old band Home Town Heros for the past few days and thought "has Awolnation put out any new music?" Great timing! And Tim is in this!!! Hope to see Awol live soon
Finally,i am not the only one,who listening Home Town Hero. Have you ever heard the Bitch city album by them? If you not,go and listen it,it is only available on youtube unfortunately,but that album is absolutely one of a kind. :D
Amazing song! Love the vibe and the animation. The visuals habe a lot in common with MUSE' simulation theory which is also one of the greatest albums of all time imo.
Pretty cool song! Awolnation always make good stuff! PS: I love Tim, his voice is pure powerful, and the fact that he delivers the same strong vocals in live concert as you can hear on studio recordings.. He's awesome.
Spotify turned me on to this song. The video is amazing. I'm obsessed
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!
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!!!!
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.
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.
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!
Tim is an amazing human. I'm obsessed with everything that he does.
Same pal, same
You're not the only one here ksksksksksks
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!!!!
😀

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!!
Man, I loved the original but Holy cow! Talk about a cover done well!!
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.
I am beyond stoked for this album! It’s hitting just right so far
I was like WHAAAA...
Then I was like YESSSS..
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.
Out where the river broke

A fact's a fact
It belongs to them
Let's give it back
How can we dance
When our earth is turning?
How do we sleep

Four wheels scare the cockatoos
From Kintore East to Yuendemu
The western desert lives and breathes
In 45 degrees
The time has come

It's closer to 50 degrees, now. Sad to say.
Thank you

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.
The timing of this release. ❤️😭🌍🌎🌏
Yes I do wonder how this Scott Morrison lead Liberal Party can sleep when our beds are literally burning
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❤❤❤❤🇦🇺
I'm going to wear this song out so fast, I can't stop hitting repeat.
MASSIVE retooling of an 80s classic & these visuals are absolute 🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥
That's why I love covers like these. You can sing along even when you hear it the first time.
yeaaaa

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.
At first I thought, yeah there's no way this will be as good as the original. Pleasantly surprised.
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.
Faithful to the original, distinctly Awolnation, Amazing!
Well said!
This is a pleasant surprise right before bed!
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!
Nice!! Awesome version of the Midnight Oil song.
Fuck yeah
The perfect video to the perfect song.
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!
This song is better than midnight oil beds are burning
Midnight Oil walked so Awolnation could run
4:20 nice
Nice
Noice
Damn what a cool cover.
Awolnation killed it.
What a banger!
I loved so much the animation style
This is fucking insanely good
I'm here!!! I've waited all night!!!!
Absolutely luvv this video
This video perfectly captures all my best dance moves
I heart the OG and I've fallen hard for this cover with just one listen. Bravo, fellas. Very well done. 💗
A+

Amazing!!! Can’t wait for the entire album!
I have major marvel star lord vibes! It's so great!
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…
Will always be one of my favorite artists I just wish you got more recognition for your music nowadays cause it's so good.
So relevant right now 🇺🇦 💔 ✌️

This is an awesome 21st century cover of Midnight Oils ‘Bed are burning’ song from the 1980’s
Absolutely amazing thanku so much love and God bless always x
2 of my favourite artist, fuck yeah !!
Love the Drum in this song!!
Ver ese logo Original de Awolnation fue todo un golpe de Nostalgia 💜✨
Adoro está banda, vengan a México por favor 🤩

Amazing song! Love the vibe and the animation. The visuals habe a lot in common with MUSE' simulation theory which is also one of the greatest albums of all time imo.
I hate that animation, but the song is amazing
They have a new album coming too right? I love Muse. They’ve gotten me through some really hard times
@@cl9949 August 26
Awolnation is raising earths level of consciousness! They are aware of the matrix
Blown away!!! 😃
Pretty cool song! Awolnation always make good stuff!
PS: I love Tim, his voice is pure powerful, and the fact that he delivers the same strong vocals in live concert as you can hear on studio recordings.. He's awesome.
This is amazing. #RiseAgainst
Picking all of my favourite songs to cover :)
Magnificent! Emotional, energetic, fresh. What a cover.
💙💛
Hammerteil😎😎😎😎
I wish Tim's voice was more hearable but its a great cover!
I completely agree. He could have added so much more to this.
Yeah I didn’t hear him once?
@@JJ-no8fk He’s mostly in the background but go to 3:05, you’ll hear him say “turnin” pretty clear.
I can hear him just fine tbh
Totally
This video is awesome! I hope to see Aaron in that outfit in concert! It would be epic!
i love the way these guys owned this song.
I really love the visuals here. Very nice. Song is great too!
A masterpiece just got a modern upgrade!
I cant hate on this remake. It rocks. Well done, AWOLNATION.
This is the best music video I’ve seen in a long time!!!!
Pretty good remake~! :)

Aaron es lo máximo
