Reminds me of swimming near Port Norlunga (Paul Kelly's home state). Those were the days, no dickheads spoiling your day at the beach. Im sure its not about a kid, swimming at the beach, but it is what it is for me.
Superb song from Australia's greatest singer songwriter. Kudos to you for taking the time to make this available on YouTube VaingloryMarshall. Your efforts have not been in vain.
The power is in the simplicity. Kelly's ability to sum up a vast experience in only one line is what makes him such a genius. I cry unashamedly at this song.
@Burninlog It moves you through the power of the words,whilst watching this post I noticed other songs titled"Deeper Water"sung by Jewel and others,the thing that strikes me is that there all melon collie and sung in a way that tries to stir emotion,but if you listen to the lyrics of Jewels "Deeper Water" they have no meaning or story to tell Unlike Paul Kelly,he trully is one of the greatest song writers of all time.
Thanks, I spent a few hours doing this, which is sad for what it is, but I really just thought YouTube needed this on here for people to experience some classic Paul Kelly. I'm glad that you enjoyed it.
Thanx buddy im using this song as a related text for my HSC its good that i got to hear it for free :)

Yes, yes, yes. Narrative songwriting about everyday pain that comes with life. He's a national treasure.
