    If you’re after another official video (studio recording) of Midnight Oil to check out, don’t go past “Forgotten Years”.

    Once again, Harri, I'm so delighted you liked my song. I agree, I like this one as much, or even more, than "Beds are Burning". And, yes, "powerful" is the right word. I loved your reaction! These guys do no love songs, they are straight-ahead singing about social injustice, mainly but not solely, in Australia. We need someone like them here, now.

    This was their 'breakthrough' song - the first one that got air-play on mainstream radio. Had great hooks so worked in the commercial setting but retained the early Oils' edge so that it gave us radio-listeners a bit of a shake-up; here was something local (I'm from NZ and that's near enough in this case) that was also something special. Glory ensued. Incidentally, if you don't already know, you'll be interested that Peter Garrett was the Australian Minister for the Environment, Heritage and the Arts for a while.

    Proud to say that I have all their albums. Original vinyl. I love bands that comment on political, environmental, & social, issues.
    And to think that he went into politics and became our minister for the 'Environment, Heritage, and the Arts'. And then later, minister for 'School Education, Early Childhood, & Youth'.
    So he really did try to change the system from both the outside & the inside.

    And too think some of their very early music was surf music inspired notably "Wedding Cake Island" (which is a section of rocks 2.4 Klm out to sea from Coogee Beach NSW that foams over like a wedding cake) Peter Garret is an amazing front man and they are touring again very soon so hope to see if they come my way always a fun concert.
