    Not being able to listen to this song without crying is an indication of the state of Australia. We desperately need an “Australian country party “ to return the country to its glory.

      U would probably like Paul Kelly too. He tells such vivid stories in his songs, sometimes the small stuff,sometimes big stuff like land rights & racism. Practically every aussie listens to his song HOW TO MAKE GRAVY@ xmas & we're not afraid to get teary over it.

    I was awake all night in the SE USA to watch Steve Irwin’s Memorial LIVE as John sang this song & was immediately hooked. I played it for my preschool class almost daily after that & they loved it. In the US, I compare the sentiment to ‘Find Out Who Your Friends Are’ by Tracy Lawrence. John’s song has a smoother sound, but Tracy’s song hits the heart in a similar way:)🙏🇺🇸🙏🇦🇺

    For non-Australians who don’t know much about slang here/
    “Hey True Blue, don’t say you’re gone. Say you’ve knocked off for a smoko and you’ll be back later on…”
    You can call someone who has a genuine heart True Blue.
    But the lines make me cry because instead of them being gone you wished they’d just stepped outside for smoke break and they’re coming back after.
    This is a great song for the funeral of someone who was always authentic and real, a true person.

    I used to laugh at this song as an America-worshiping, 90s Aussie teenager. I now greatly admire the man’s authenticity. In a sea of Aussies faking US accents, Williamson stands tall and proud, unashamedly showcasing our unique drawl.
    I love our American friends and the amazing musical canon they’ve gifted the world. But Aussies must be proud of our own cultural identity.

    Listening and watching John singing this makes me so happy to be part of Australia. Somehow I hope our nation returns to the heritage that it seems to have become ashamed of. An Australia where no matter where we came from we know we are lucky to be here and we stand by our country and our people no matter what. I wasn't born here but I'm am happy to have been accepted and be a part of this great land. I hope I always feel or at least remember that we were and can still be "the Lucky Country".
    Amazing how a song can inspire such deep feelings.
