gemmerbal Posted March 26, 2021 Share I seem to recall maaany pages back, a discussion as to why Midnight Oil was banned in SA (it might also have been the "do you remember" thread, I cant remember - the irony It seems their hit Beds are Burning was written after the band toured through the Outback and witnessing the injustices against the Aboriginal Tribes lead to the band wanting to speak out. One can see the parallel with the political situation in SA at that time (1986/7), and then its not difficult to see why their music was unwelcome. I was 7 years old in '86, to me this is just a great song, period. https://www.newframe.com/political-songs-beds-are-burning-midnight-oil/ https://www.songwritingmagazine.co.uk/how-i-wrote/beds-are-burning-midnight-oil Edited March 26, 2021 by gemmerbal Red Robin 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Blokman Posted March 30, 2021 Share Ian Anderson's ode to the workhorse. I'm posting one with lyrics . For me this is a beautiful song but it's over forty years old. Red Robin 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bonus Posted March 30, 2021 Share I'm just getting around to listening to Mike Oldfields "Man on the Rocks" from 2014. "Sailing", which is the first track on the album. is a nice catchy song.
