I am from the states and every time I hear this song it brings tears to my eyes you Australians are so cool and when I think what we did to our indigenous people and thought it was just a okay. I feel shame! The song has great music but even more intense meaning. Thanks for giving me a bit of the Australian experience.
HaydoZ I thought the same, hearing that comment of Peter's just now, watching this. I saw them live for the first time earlier this month, in Furuvik (Sweden). They blew me away!!
This has become a classic song. Wish I could have heard it live. Unlike a lot of today's music...the dancing isn't more important than the music...and the band is actually performing. And 'live' singing too. Unbelievable artistry behind this song. Thanks to the members of Midnight Oil for this.
Rest in Peace Bone Hillman aka Wayne Stevens i always listened to all ur songs that is no lie i always wanted to come and you perform live in concert now i dont have that chance to meet u in person since u passed away in the year 2020 it broke my heart when i heard about ur passing away it was devastating news i love that song Beds are burning that song where u are playing ur guitar i cant get the fact that the world lost an amazing legend of all times u never knew u had a big huge Canadian fan from British Columbia who always listened to ur videos you will be loved and missed from people all over the world ur in my thought and prayers Rest in peace my friend ur not going to be forgotten
Oh yeah who can't feel that da da da in between riffs? So intense! This music is a work of Genius both instrumental and lyrically! Well done, almost timeless.
epocas doradas ... uno iba a los conciertos a cantar saltar y pasarla bien, no como ahora mas pendiente de grabar con el `puto movil .... LOS MARAVILLOSOS 80s Lima Perù
Pero en tu época te educaron bajo el régimen de la dictadura y ajora lo jóvenes son más libres que vos!! Disfruta de la música y no critiques a las nuevas generaciones retrógrado!!
@@travisexum3553 ya know I never knew this song. When I were a kid we had this video on a laser disk, I remember as a kid I loved the tune. 33 and love it so much!
A part of me is totally respecting the profound meaning of this song and the awesome musicianship. Then part of me is totally cracking up laughing at Peter Garrett's dancing.
Maybe not the best singer in the world, but he really makes the best of his voice. And man, what a performer he is!! On top of that he just seems like such a nice guy. Fantastic song - greetings from Denmark.
Garrett can't sing for shit. If you iisten to their early stuff late 1970s you can hear that he is trying to sing. But later he just yells his social brainwashing crap. We got it the first time mate.
Bassline super! Band super! Didgeridoo Player super (see him only at the start and end in the video) Fans super! Thank you for this video, greetings from Hamburg Germany Andreas
to all the nay sayers..this is a song that natives to thier land shud listen to...if ya don't belong by right..then give it back..from the usa..a native american...and proud no matter
Not a single camera device in the crowd, folks merely enjoying the music and atmosphere. I lived those times, it was amazing. I’ve now also used my phone to record at concerts. WTF!!!!
...SONG OF THE DAY!!! MIDNIGHT OIL - BEDS ARE BURNING (1987) Esta canción tiene dos significados, la primera hace referencia política para que les fueran devueltas las tierras a los nativos Australianos Pintupi y el segundo donde muchos allegados al vocalista Petter Garrett mencionan que la estrofa de la canción que dice "¿How can we sleep while our beds are burning?", hace referencia a la madre de Petter quien murió cinco años antes en un incendio en su domicilio. Tan DESGARRADORA que te atrapara por SIEMPRE.🤘🏿ULTRAMEGAROLOTA🤘🏿12/02/2021
one of the many songs during the 80's that would make me dance like crazy...i was telling friends then the story behind the song...got no reactions :(...sad aye?
Afuera donde el río se quiebra La maderasangre y el árbol de desierto Atrapados naufragios y tractores ardiendo Humeando a 45 grados El tiempo ha llegado Para decir ya estuvo bueno Para pagar la renta Para pagar lo que nos corresponde El tiempo ha llegado Las cosas son como son Les pertenece a ellos Vamos a devolvérselo Cómo podemos bailar cuando la tierra está girando? Como podemos dormir cuando nuestras camas están ardiendo? Cómo podemos bailar cuando la tierra está girando? Como podemos dormir cuándo nuestras camas están ardiendo? El tiempo ha llegado Para decir ya estuvo bueno Para pagar la renta, ahora Para pagar lo que nos corresponde Cuatro ruedas espantan las cocotoas Desde kintore oriental hasta Yuendemu El desierto occidental vive y respira a 45 grados El tiempo ha llegado Para decir ya estuvo bueno Para pagar la renta Para pagar lo que nos corresponde El tiempo ha llegado Las cosas son como son Les pertenece a ellos Vamos a devolvérselo Cómo podemos bailar cuando nuestra tierra está girando? Como podemos dormir cuando nuestras camas están ardiendo? Como podemos dormir cuando la tierra está girando?

Out where the river broke The bloodwood and the desert oak Holden wrecks and boiling diesels Steam in 45 degrees The time has come To say fair's fair To pay the rent To pay our share The time has come 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 While our beds are burning? How can we dance When our earth is turning? How do we sleep While our beds are burning? The time has come To say fair's fair To pay the rent Now to pay our share Four wheels scare the cockatoos From Kintore East to Yuendemu The western desert lives and breathes In 45 degrees The time has come To say fair's fair To pay the rent To pay our share The time has come 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 While our beds are burning? How can we dance When our earth is turning? How do we sleep While our beds are burning? The time has come To say fair's fair To pay the rent now To pay our share The time has come A fact's a fact It belongs to them We're gonna give it back How can we dance When our earth is turning? How do we sleep While our beds are burning?

"one of those instruments that sound better and better with age, Just hope we do", and they sure did.

The guy on the Didgeridoo goes off. Really makes that version of the song something to behold.
Wish I could find a better audio track of it.

That was cool how those three fan's got to come up, play some percussion and sing.
They were undoubtedly the envy of all of their mates
Forever 👏

Maybe not the best singer in the world, but he really makes the best of his voice. And man, what a performer he is!! On top of that he just seems like such a nice guy. Fantastic song - greetings from Denmark.

INMENSO
Out where the river broke
The bloodwood and the desert oak
Holden wrecks and boiling diesels
Steam in 45 degrees
The time has come
To say fair's fair
To pay the rent
To pay our share
The time has come
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
While our beds are burning?
How can we dance
When our earth is turning?
How do we sleep
While our beds are burning?
The time has come
To say fair's fair
To pay the rent
Now to pay our share
Four wheels scare the cockatoos
From Kintore East to Yuendemu
The western desert lives and breathes
In 45 degrees
The time has come
To say fair's fair
To pay the rent
To pay our share
The time has come
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
While our beds are burning?
How can we dance

It belongs to them
We're gonna give it back
How can we dance
When our earth is turning?
How do we sleep
While our beds are burning?
