Little Heroes - One Perfect Day (1982)

[Zephyesa]

from when aussies sounded like aussies, not immitation yanks like they mostly do now.

[lemonfirebrigade]

What would we do without you, nzoz. Can always be relied on to have decent videos. In my mind you are noz snoz, by the way. That's how the brain processes it, even though it makes no sense at all :). This has always been such a perfect, perfect song.

[nzoz1982]

@lemonfirebrigade Thank you for the kind words.  I much appreciate it. Call me whatever you like. Ha ha :)

[meeeee1968]

roger hart - I pick myself up

recent song by the vocalist of lil heroes

shows he still has it !!!!!!

[lemonfirebrigade]

@meeeee1968 I put another of his up a couple of days ago. You might like Send a Touch as well. Great song.

[meeeee1968]

always loved this lovely tune

timeless

stunning

[DuoArtDanOz]

How could you not like this song , better then so much trash that is passed for music these days.

[woundedPumpkins]

The piano guy looks stoned ... This song was the first song I recorded on a tape recorder when I was 7. Never get sick of this song ...

[tNJippoes]

Great post, amazing Aussie song

[FrothNinja]

One of my fave songs in grade 12 (in 1982), irony of irony I now live in soggy England. Still makes my remaining hairs stand on end

[benafuda]

Melbourne '82. For some reason this tune reminds me of stuff you don't see anymore. Like Chablis wine, Billy Field, pubs shut on Sundays, threatened beer strikes, and Richmond playing in the Grand Final.

[5150VanAlien]

I arrived back home from England after 9 years and yes, we arrived in Sydney on ONE PERFECT DAY.

[noofyballs]

.27 pocket billiards!

[5150VanAlien]

I'm an Aussie guy LIVING IN ENGLAND. After 9 years In the UK, I'm coming home...'And tell me if it's still raining there in Sydney'.

[roxcharlie]

@5150VanAlien no, not much anymore, but it's bloody expensive and getting hotter each year!

[5150VanAlien]

@roxcharlie Hey, we arrived 3 months ago today. The weather hasn't been the best although today was nice. You're right though, the prices here are extortionate.

[ytvseb1]

@5150VanAlien pissing down! :)

[5150VanAlien]

@ytvseb1 HA! Indeed. Happy Australia Day. Been back now 5 months from Ol' London town...Sydney has changed.  Have a drink on me.

[nasa72]

After 30 years, this song still gives me goose bumps!! Brilliant song

[mygreatlovenova]

THANKYOU!!!!

[TwoheadsIncorporated]

yeah love this song and clip. The guy on the piano though has a neck injury!!

[TheNewWorldTrio]

Thanks for all your efforts making great music like this available..... wonderful to be able to hear such classic songs!!!

[nataliems24]

i miss my dad in Australia hearing this

[jsf1905]

@nataliems24

This song reminds me of my old man. I miss him

[BIGGOLDTHREE]

Such a great song. But I hate to tell a lot of people, it rains a lot in Aus too, especially Sydney. A lot.

[soloist777]

This is a lovely song....takes me back to a great time when the planet seemed a happier place.

[skellig64]

I'm 18 again; I have a Valiant Charger in duck egg blue; looking for some action and living life like there are an eternity of tomorrows.

[tNJippoes]

@skellig64 Ditto but witha XY Ford. Great comment!

[hellallnamesaretaken]

Top song , ordinary film clip though

[OzzInter]

Beautiful song!

So many memories of the 1980's for me.

Currently this song makes me think of my friend Jessica who is currently living and working in Britain

[5150VanAlien]

"And tell me if it's still raining there in England..." Yes it was today! I miss home. I'm a Maroubra man living in the UK and will be returning soon...thanks for posting NZOZ!

[JanW666]

brilliant...........thanx for adding this - magic!!! x

[bluerok1]

great music, from the heart, and thinking of that!

[readyfordahood]

I LOVE YOU NZOZ!!! you have all the coolest shit on youtube. I grew up in Oz but live away now and miss seeing these vids on TV especially on rage. Your uploads (always in good quality) are brilliant and make me homesick! THANK YOU! THANK YOU! THANK YOU! ...and keep em comin!

[LuluRosenkrantz]

Kind of makes you want to hold someone close .

[nikbunnymen]

The entire album is just fantastic.

[nikbunnymen]

@4shDizzle sorry for your loss.

[90jedwards]

unreal classic!!

[TheJordanLaney]

WOw,

I'm 14, listened to this song on the radio, just had to come and find it on here. Really good song :)

[HellyWellyBeasley]

one of my absolute favs. perfect song!

[emily555a]

And Tell Me

If It's Still Raining There In England

And Tell Me What You Did Last Night

And Tell Me

If It's Still Raining There In England

The Pictures So Hard To Come By

If You Ever Come Back Just Drop By

One Perfect Day, One Perfect Day

One Perfect Day

[eppeywonder]

. I remember going to Festival Hall to see Hoadleys Battle Of The Bands and I thought theyd win. Came 3rd in the first heat I think. Went off to Adelaide and returned a few weeks later and when they did - they nailed it. Great band- A mate assured me they were one hit wonders -Obviously never heard Young Heart is also tops. . I lived in Sydney Rd and it reminds me of aMelb Autumn on Royal Parade. Awesome band. One of the top pop songs . PERFECT. Thanks

[TheRyanandbrittany]

i love this song very good 10 out of 10 but it needs to go for longer

[nickynoo75]

this makes me homesick for some reason!

[cousiwa09]

i dedicate this song to 'my sweet'.....you know who you are, and i think you know how i feel....xx

'only just thinkin of you'

[FederalPolice620]

@cousiwa09 Aww thanks!

[cousiwa09]

@FederalPolice620 sorry morrie the dedication isnt directed at you.... but good try anyway!

[FederalPolice620]

@cousiwa09 Ahahaha I thought it was worth a try - wasn't expecting an answer though lol

[ariesmum72]

omg i forgot how fantatsic this song was!!!

[michaelgrahambond007]

A perfect song.

[RowieOutthere]

A timeless beauty! Never tire or it.

[houndsylovesdamien]

This is one of my top songs ever, my whole youth here.

[MrBluestreakjack]

They toured England in1983, can't understand why this great song didn't make it, must have been crap management. Roger Hart fabulous voice he's now into meditation and writing.

[RobLunn72]

Go the shoulder-padded jackets!!

[emily555a]

Great song - yet another reason why I loved the '80's!

[destiny6666]

I went on a Xmas Yarra boat cruise in the 90's and he was behind the bar ... ohhhh how the mighty have fallen :)

[nikbunnymen]

Little Hereos were one of the greatest aussie bands..and an excellent live band.

[mastertusk]

the little kiwi girl I had so much fun with...

[mastertusk]

janine

[damosanchex]

As a youngster(Im 19 and i was like 10 then), I thought this was David bowie singing

[chameleonfrog1]

I love looove this song! It is just so beautiful and uplifting. I wish they would play it on the radio and remind me of this great song.

[shakypam]

wow - one perfect example of a video missing the point of the song!

[shelbyac57]

A great Aussie classic.

[froznic]

You should add the lyrics to the vid ^^

[Johnzy199]

one perfect song!

[palmyrazephyr]

love this.. brings back memories <3

[thatcatsonlygot1eye]

absolute song writing genuis. simple, but effective music and song

[russoct]

a classic

[TheClaw70]

now, now children. settle down! ooh, such spunk, such passion! let he who is free of sin cast the first stone! i bet if i look through all your comments, you too will have made a casual observation regarding videos that may be classed as 'risque'.

doesn't mean i don't like the song, though..

toodles

[KingChav1]

This is a fantastic song by a brilliant band! I first saw this on a cable channel in England back in the day...

[Cebuana59]

ahh, the 80s. great decade for Australian music.

[Braddlz21]

And im sure you look like a fuckwit The claw 70, must be your IQ.

[peecee1384]

@Braddlz21 Give the guy a break. Fair call. Thin enough.

[TheClaw70]

@Braddlz21 Do i detect a little bit of close to homeness? Settle down, sonny. If you had known Musicians from the Melbourne and Sydney area of the time, i'm sure you would understand where i am coming from.

[bgbarber]

theclaw70 - please post a link to your contribution.

[TheClaw70]

lead singer looks like a junkie!! Not at all unusual for muso's of the day

[peecee1384]

@TheClaw70 The piano player certainly looks stoned.

[mtflesruoytsacdaorb]

@peecee1384 - Maybe just happy. It happens.

[peecee1384]

@mtflesruoytsacdaorb The way he moves his head slowly back and forth... looks like he's off with the fairies. People usually smile when they're happy. Great song though.

[mtflesruoytsacdaorb]

@peecee1384 - What about if he's in ecstasy, as opposed to on it?

[peecee1384]

@mtflesruoytsacdaorb Fair enough :-)

[roflniceone]

@TheClaw70 your mother looks like a junkie, the filthy fucking whore is hiv positive, no wonder u came out so fucked up, go and off yourself you worthless piece of shit

[coughcool72]

@TheClaw70 ignorance is bliss you fucken tool. singer looks nothing like a junkie, maybe you were looking in the mirror when you wrote you comment!

[missty253]

i think the lead singer of the band was my mums boyfriend awhile back.

[ChloeVille31]

WOW

[VillaLobos43]

Great piece of composition. Perhaps we'll see a reunion of this band someday. If someone has the video to Little Heroes' Bon Voyage could they please upload it as it really needs to be here too.

[nzoz1982]

yeah, i have that video... it was taken down along with my nzozApprendix account. I will bring it back up!

[VillaLobos43]

Thanks nzoz, look forward to seeing it. The lead singer also bears an uncanny resemblence to the guy who sings for Black 'A Wonderful Life'

[nzoz1982]

ha, ha - he does look like Black's leadsinger/frontman.

[eppeywonder]

@VillaLobos43  . I remember going to Festival Hall to see Hoadleys Battle Of The Bands and I thought theyd win. Came 3rd in the first heat I think. Went off to Adelaide and returned a few weeks later and when they did - they nailed it. Great band- A mate assured me they were one hit wonders -Obviously never heard Young Heart is also tops. . I lived in Sydney Rd and it reminds me of aMelb Autumn on Royal Parade. Awesome band. One of the top pop songs . PERFECT. Ta

[Davecrosinoz]

No seriously he is AMAZING. I wonder where he is now, and if he is still performing with such artistic flair.

ABSOUTELY UNDER RATED

[Davecrosinoz]

Who is that guy playing the keyboard - he MUST be famous.I think he is one of the best musicians Oz has ever produced.........and pretty hot!!!!

[LennonsCafe]

I looked up to see who the keyboard player was, and it's David Crosbie. I will take on trust that it's you and obviously your comments were 'tongue in cheek'. Great song! You do look like ex-AFL footballer Paul Couch from the Geelong Cats(played in the 80's & 90's). I don't know if you are part owner of this song, but has there ever been talk in releasing this song to an up-and-coming band in today's market?

[lancemckellar]

Thank God no-one from 'Idol' has ruined this song! I love this tune, reminds me of an old friend from England who died.

[Dovelike]

Great song and timeless.

[offroader58]

Thanks for this. Timeless and beautiful.

It was 1982 when I first went to England...

[wilderskies1]

Thank You MRMIL 057 for your kind words.

It was my pleasure to say a few words in support of a classic piece that will never date. The song holds much wonder!

Cheers...

[Histrophile]

Would have to be in my top ten greatest Aussie songs, brilliant!!!

[gazzaonetwo]

great music never dies

[wilderskies1]

A classic piece that shines with beauty and timeless melody. Should have been a world hit. May still be, given the right support!!!!

Love to all concerned.

[MRMILO57]

wilderskies1 ...thats a very delightful thing to say, I just wanted to let you know.

And it this is a great song, very meaningful.

[kieran9093]

Of course it's still raining in England!

[lapalad]

@kieran9093 no bloody snowing right now

[evil2kirsty]

[evil2kirsty]

[Mrchanga1]

The whole little heros album was awesome. The album i had did not have this song on it. Awesome ozzie music.

[SydneyRover]

I always thought this was a David Bowie song and only found out in 2009 a few months ago that it was not.

[gemkilt]

Same here dude lmao I only found out today lol 1st November 2009 XD

[gunfiremessiah]

Bowie was NEVER this good.

[KeithMyArthe]

I saw this band a few times, some small venues, but some larger venues as a support act for an overseas band - and the show they put on was usually better than the bands they were 'supporting'.

Classic song.

[Westyrulz]

My God this came out in 82!!Where did all the years go??

[meeeee1968]

they also sang

'bon voyage'

another lovely classic !!!!!!!

[meeeee1968]

[ClandestineBoogue]

Just to let you all know -> I did meet my Mum and Dad on that day for the first time and I had this song in the back of my mind for the whole weekend!!! It certainly was 'one perfect day and weekend'....Everything was happy families so thanks again...Yah!!!!!!

[nzoz1982]

Glad to hear that it all worked out well for you and that you've come to share it with all of us.

One perfect day with one perfect song. Never forget it!

[cousiwa09]

that is really lovelly to hear, its beautiful how some songs can be of such importance in situations such as yours.... and all in all the memories forever remain especially when you hear this song...well done!

[LennonsCafe]

At 2.58, Roger holds up the 4 of diamonds. Why? Is there a hidden message?

[angie4josh]

yes it was a signal that he was going to assassinate the keyboard player that evening.

[ClandestineBoogue]

Just had to share this -> In 2 x days I will be reunited with my Mother and Father for the first time in my life....after 40 x years. This has always been one of my favourite songs....and I always wondered what a perfect day would be. Well it will be that day when I am reunited with my parents for the first time in my life. It's funny how I always knew this song meant something...and I never knew why -> But I do now. Thanks for sharing it this with us all nzoz!!!

[cousiwa09]

YES!!! at long last i see the video for this really beautiful song, omg this is fucken fantastic!!! CHEERS MATE AND THANK YOU VERY MUCH FOR THIS UPLOAD!!!

[220909wraptheworld]

Our song, our story. Began Sydney 1971, England 1972 then.... many years later I sent the telegram and I dropped by. And yes its still raining here in England. But somehow Against All Odds we are together. And one day ' it won't be goodbye but only goodnight, with a love that won't end, If ever I see you again." See you Tempe Station in two weeks time.

[hvatoss]

roger wells, the lead singer is my cousin

[ClandestineBoogue]
