It has almost been another year that my much loved father has moved on to the great sky above us. no 1 sees the tears that i shed when i am alone in my room away from every1 else's eyes.dad i want u 2 know that even now that almost 7 years l8r u r still in my mind and heart each and every day ...............keep on flying free without the pain .........love u daddy .......kaz
Slim went to school and was really good friends with my Pop. My Pop was the strongest person i have ever met. The only time i saw my grandad cry was when he watched Slim's funeral on TV. My Pop was a country singer too, and at his funeral we played a CD of 6 songs by Slim Dusty that my pop had covered and recorded about 2 weeks before he died. it was really special.
uuuuummmm...;.. wait a min...,.,.,, aussies have music like this? i gotta visit ur county. i starting to to think u guys r the place o go to when we are fucked. and we will b if thry have there way.but then again itr will nbever happen. we who make up the most the people, will bing up a george washington again. we will never be a perverted new endlander. america..,.... will not let the fucked up people in the new endland states rule. new endand is not america!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
The person I am closest to in this whole world recently passed away. This was his song at the funeral. I am getting "Looking Forward, Looking Back." tattooed on my foot in dedication. R.I.P Grampse <3
I love the line "makin' songs from what I know"..No one knew how to capture the meaning of being proud Aussie like Slim did.... Dearly missed... RIP Slim
Never met Slim Dusty before but he wrote some good songs. This one is a favourite because of the memory I associate with it. Makes me want to live in outback Australia.
my dad died monday...he was stationed in new zealand (usmc) around 1940-is and always sang "i want a pardon for daddy"...does anyone have this to upload...it would be great...thank you!
slim was my favorite country music artist or artist of any description for that mater.. i was priveliged to meet him in august 2002 or 2001 i cant be sure but his music should be known by every australian
I don't care the vid, the sound is great.( Sorry for my bad english. ) We miss old Slim in Germany,too. Thank you for your great songs, old mate! Cheeers.
Every time I come home from a hard day's work and I feel like shit, all I have to do is put a Slim song on and I'm ready to go again. Could all you wanna bees sing with a Aussie accent and forget about your howlin yankie sound please. Then and only then will you last any where near as long as Slim did. So be told, you sound bloody terrible. K.J. Edmonton.
I will be looking for your fathers music from now on! My wife and I are Pomme's but Slim and Paul Kelly are brilliant! Thankyou for your kind worlds back! Best wishes and much love to you and your family!
Your father was and is a legend! I think about his songs! I am English but have spent 11 years in WA! My best friend is an OZI! As said God bless you!
well dad it has now been 6 years since u have left me here. There is not a moment that goes by that i dont think about you and what mite have been Please say hello 2 everyone up there 4 me and tell them how much there r missed this song says it all here's 2 wen i c u next DAD i will just be looking 4ward looking back
@4islandhuni As said before! There is not a moment I miss my Grandad! He went 28 years ago! I wish I could exchange 10 years of my life to spend an extra 10 with him! I miss my grandad,! You miss your father! We will all be together one day! God bless you and your famiiy. Slim is probably looking down and saying don't listen to that pomme! Regards and respectr to you and your family! Andy
@wembley05 thank you 4 your kind thoughts to me about the loss of my father 6 years ago may i send my sympathies for the floods that u r having at the moment thank you once again and good luck to you now and in the future KAZ
this song was played for my dads funeral as we were carrying out his coffin.This song brings with it many sad memories but also a lot of very happy memories . I MISS U DAD (GRAEME) more than you will ever know. LOVE KAZ
i love the fact that this song was written by cold chisels don walker. a master song writer writing for a country legend, two different genres, one brilliant song.
For me, Slim is the best country singer in the world. Its so sad, that he died. I got all his CDs, its always a great joy to listen to him. It gives me power back.
Played at my Mum's funeral. Shae laoved Slim and I grew up listening to him. Treu Pioneer of Country Music. GOD Bless you Slim Dustyand thanksd for all music.
Great song from a singer who is missed. I certainly think of my FIL which we have lost not so long ago....good old mates living in heaven...and singing their old Aussie songs...
My dad went to school with slim...been to his old homestead he grew up in many times......he was one in a million....god bless ya old mate....australia misses you.!!!
Maybe I have commented here many moons ago? But I just needed a Slim Dusty fix of this fine song tonight! Yeah its as good as it gets and I now have a smile on my face.Not bad for a song,but it is a great song.
The bloody 2010 Federal Election Campaign is less than 3 hrs old (Sat 17/7) & already, Michael Kroger .. that idiot Liberal political hack & brain-dead arsehole from Melbourne (& friend of Costello & uber-spoilt life-long out-of-touch rich-kid brat) .. has already blotted his copybook, bigtime. This bastard Kroger has today slandered our legend Slim unforgiveably .. calling Slim's song "Looking Forward Looking Back" a medoicre piece of work (in trying to lamely attack Labor's election slogan).
this song reminds me of my great uncle the (OLD SCHOOLtruckie) evey time i here this song it makes me shred a tear WE WILL NEVER for get both of you guys
You slut of a sheila user/664ever, I hope you are aware that your knowledge of Australian history and politics is as excellent as your command of the Vietnamese language.
Thus, keep things that way because it benefits us both.
When Slim Dusty wrote this song, it's as if he knew his time in this world was nearly over. :-( Still, although he is gone, his music will live on for a long time yet. :-)
And...what's the yank really on about. I heard on tonight's news (8th Jan 2010) that there was another securuty airport breech over there today. We should ban US ban tourism before it turns into terrorism.
Thanks for your support techkra, I appreciate that. The thing is the bitch who commented on my page re Slim Dusty is 27 and obviously doesn't know what's going on in her own country. Incidentally I just read a post on your channel by a yank, username Cyber Tallon. Hasn't he got more hangups than a fucken art gallery . Keep in touch bud.
Slim could have written us a national anthum and made the muslims and other non conformists of this great country learn it, sing it in schools or they can fuck off back home. When are we going to get a government to act in the best interests of ALL Australians? RIP Slim.
7272257, Yes I to love Slim Dusty's music. But there is no need for racism because someone has migrated to Australia dosn't mean he or she is going to blow the place to the shithole. Give everyone a fair go and treat them equally; those people have most likely come from that (people blowing their country to the shithole) and dont want to cause the people here any pain they've gone through.
Megacbx it's not about what there gunna do. it's the fact that so many men served and died under our flag to keep people out and now we just let them in.
muy lindo realmente. gracias a Johny Cash, conoci el amor por la musica country y me sigue gustando cada ves mas. Gracias a America del Norte por tan bonita musica. Julian Cruz, Castro.
i tell ya what,Australia as we know it ,died with Slim that day,look around,and tell me it aint so,your got the muslims and the doo gooders pushin changes that can't be fixed,i say fuck off back to where ever and leave us alone or else you'll wake the sleepin dog.
Yes great song! Slim was very sad that Australia was falling apart towards the end, with mass immigration of peoples who had no interest in the Anglo/celtic way of life. He thought Islam was the devil itself and all he saw towards the end was sadness for Australia.He wanted us to reconnect with the other dominions the Mother land especially UK,Canada NZ as one. But the commies wont let that happen divide and conquer! Slim was one a great of the earthy salty sea shanty English sailor types of old
@Rogerbradly i agree i got nothing against what race someone is but when you move to another country you have to respect Laws and Traditions not bring your own the thing that annoys me with The muslim religion is that they get offended very easy and go all suicidal and shit because someone for fun took a shot a Muhammad well its our Aussie right to do so. This is Australia women are free to feel and dress how they want to.
Thank you for posting this fine song. Sorry to say I didn't know Slim before, then he passed away short time before I visited Australia the first time. I love his songs!
hi there we still love to hear slims music and his music is all my three year old girl listens my father was a big fan of slim . he has every record that he made and many more.
Its now going on six years since Australia lost Slim Dusty, a legend,and God knows we dont have many. I am 57 years old tomorrow and this song, as do many of Slim's songs, still brings tears to my eyes. We miss you old mate.
they played this song at my dads funeral .. truley a great song .. my dad died 2 months ago .. im only 16 :( missed some good times but we had alot of them
We chose this song for my mother's funeral as well, at the beginning of the year. I'd never heard it before we had to chose the music, but we knew she loved Slim Dusty & went through her CDs to find a song. This one seemed perfect.
I've sent this link to Liza, my American friend who does not like country music. Thought I would treat her to Slim - as a comparison.
I'm not a great follower of country myself, but have enjoyed for decades, the many Australians doing their version of Country.
Slim reminds me so much of my grandfather in looks and greatness of a human. When I was young, Granddad and I would jam together - he with banjo and I with a Les Paul copy.
This song takes me right back to an old bush shanty pub in Laura, Far North Queensland ;sitting out the 'wet' sipping an ice cold beer listening to Slim Dusty songs on the old juke box and listening to old yarns from old retired ringers, aboriginal stockmen, bush jockeys and publicans. A privellege for a travelling Pom to taste a bit of bush living and getting to chat with people who lived Australia's bush history. There is a little bit of me still there whenever I hear this song.
This song was played at my uncle's memorial service while mourners watched a slideshow of pictures of him throughout his life. Slim Dusty was my uncle's favourite musician. My uncle was a true gentleman farmer, a noble and loving family man, and now this song will always remind me of him. Well done Andrew for making such a heartfelt and beautiful tribute.
this was played at my grandads funeral 2.i remember when he died i was 18 and at the pub and saw about 50 people walking up the street and the person in front had a work boot tied 2 a stick with rope...dont know wat that was about but if i knew then wat it as about i would have joined them...beer in hand
slim is an aussie hero a bush icon and a great mate to anyone who loves our country, he may be gone now but his music and his aussie pride lives on in me and all of his other fans
yea..this was played at my pops funeral too..im from campbelltown, but everytime i went up to tamworth to go see the relatives we'd always be listening to good ol' slim..i hated country music but everytime i was up there it was bloody awesome..bloody oath, this song brings back memories when me n my pop used to be slavin away out the back R.I.P Slim
This song always makes me cry because it was at my Pop's funeral as they lowered the coffin. I remember as a little boy I could never stand country music. Now when I listen to it I see my pop and how much he loved listening to slim whilst having his home brew!!!
Played at my nana's funeral

@Rogerbradly i agree i got nothing against what race someone is but when you move to another country you have to respect Laws and Traditions not bring your own the thing that annoys me with The muslim religion is that they get offended very easy and go all suicidal and shit because someone for fun took a shot a Muhammad well its our Aussie right to do so. This is Australia women are free to feel and dress how they want to.

Its now going on six years since Australia lost Slim Dusty, a legend,and God knows we dont have many. I am 57 years old tomorrow and this song, as do many of Slim's songs, still brings tears to my eyes. We miss you old mate.

We chose this song for my mother's funeral as well, at the beginning of the year. I'd never heard it before we had to chose the music, but we knew she loved Slim Dusty & went through her CDs to find a song. This one seemed perfect.

Just after Slim died I found out through my Mum who is a nursing home nurse, that Slim used to do a annual concert for the residents.
He received no payment or any fanfare,he just did it for them and other nursing homes.

I've sent this link to Liza, my American friend who does not like country music. Thought I would treat her to Slim - as a comparison.
I'm not a great follower of country myself, but have enjoyed for decades, the many Australians doing their version of Country.
Slim reminds me so much of my grandfather in looks and greatness of a human. When I was young, Granddad and I would jam together - he with banjo and I with a Les Paul copy.
RIP Slim and Granddad

This song takes me right back to an old bush shanty pub in Laura, Far North Queensland ;sitting out the 'wet' sipping an ice cold beer listening to Slim Dusty songs on the old juke box and listening to old yarns from old retired ringers, aboriginal stockmen, bush jockeys and publicans. A privellege for a travelling Pom to taste a bit of bush living and getting to chat with people who lived Australia's bush history. There is a little bit of me still there whenever I hear this song.

This song was played at my uncle's memorial service while mourners watched a slideshow of pictures of him throughout his life. Slim Dusty was my uncle's favourite musician. My uncle was a true gentleman farmer, a noble and loving family man, and now this song will always remind me of him. Well done Andrew for making such a heartfelt and beautiful tribute.

This song always makes me cry because it was at my Pop's funeral as they lowered the coffin. I remember as a little boy I could never stand country music. Now when I listen to it I see my pop and how much he loved listening to slim whilst having his home brew!!!
