I also seen them and i totally agree, they are brilliant live. Being right up there in front of them was amazing... and i hope i can experience such talent again! true Australian performers!
That's a gorgeous song. Amazing. They, honestly I have to say, are phenomenal. And I never ever use that word with artists or bands. They're so good. And 'London Bombs' - wow..that feeling they bring you when the song plays...fuck.
I agree awesome song. While I've heard of EJ over the years I've not really paid too much attention thinking, for some subjectively ignorant reason, they were too emo but they are musically exceptional. The vocalist is awesome and I love the drumming. After hearing some of just the latest music I think these blokes are destined for a special place in musical history.
So strange and moving listening to this in Perth Australia and remembering that day in London, walking home just to be able to hug everyone you loved.....
Great song. Bit emotional seeing it actually being played in London tho. Awesome to know people on the other side of the world were thinking of us at that terrible time.
Goes without saying the terrorists will never win. Us Brits (poms, whatever :P) cannot be beaten. (No comments about the upcoming Ashes please..)
It was actually an experiment with looping that particular clip of the traditional Turkish instruments. The loop gave Kavyen an idea. Thus, a track is born! Ha! It's a good song, about immigration and having Australia as a home. Or that's my un-learned assumption anyway...
im english. never heard of this song! it would be massive in england. a sore subject dew to terrorism but fuckin quality.......................im gunna try n buy there albumn online.
Although Australia is a very peaceful country, Aussies love to travel heaps......because of this they sometimes become the victims of terrorist attacks in other countries......in this case the London tube bombings.
I get a horrible feeling that if you looked up most major terrorist bombings, you will find many of them have at least one Australian victim.....I think it is really is a very sad thing to die so far away from your home.
its a sad thing that some cowards try and wreck the lifes of evryone else because we don't believe the same things they do,what gives them the right to take away the life of free people? It goes agaist every thing the British holds dear,we've thought many emimeis to sercure our and our allies freedom,and for our goverment to allow us to be treated this way coz they wont accept that its the muslims doing this is a discarace
When Islam is a religion of peace, Muslim's aren't allowed to go bomb innocent people, so please don't generalise.
People of all religions do bad things. I am Muslim and I think what happened in London was horrible :( Don't forget that even Muslims died in Sep 11/London/Bali and they are dying every day in Iraq and Afghanistan. This song should teach you that peace is for everyone.
right on dude! generalisation seems to be the way that people deal with things to make themselves feel safe so that they can look at someone else as the 'others' that are a threat to them.
ESKIMO JOE - from Australia. Like most Aussie music it is rarely heard around the world, yet it is original, unique, clever, and not stereotypical. A shame for people outside OZ. By the way the album is sensational.....a lot of the songs are here on youtube.
loveee eskimo joe there songs actually have alot of meening to them and there great band espically love this song and comfort you:) rock on eskimo joe!
you know there are certin songs that will eventually get on your nerves and you get sick of. but this song i will never get sick of! i've heard this song about a year ago and i can listen to it and never get sick of it.
This song is beyond beautiful. And his voice makes me happy. But honestly, this video is a piece of shit, and anyone can tell it's low budget. :( Such a good song shouldnt be combined with a video like this.
this is one of my favorite songs EVER. so beautiful! i especially can't get enough of the incredibly gorgeous piano in the backround! i love love love it! <3
I'm just hearing this here. But why the hell wasn't this played on WFUV90.7FM(NYC)!Well at least they played Billy Bragg, Jackie Greene, Ben Folds, etc. And other great indie bands. Anyways great song.
Fantastic song, although I'm sad this type of music never particularly makes it mainstream, this is a lot better than the stuff they are playing the hell out of right now here in Canada.
This song is so great, I like this music video too, it's kinda, not specific on the song meaning so people can still have varying interpretations on what the song is about. So much better than the stuff on the radio.
I know what you mean about the view counts, to be honest I only found out about them on youtube, ther not realy that big in the uk yet. This is one of the best songs I have heard in a very long time.
I am pretty sure Eskimo Joe wrote it for one of the band members friend's whom lost their wife in the London Bombings. So sad. :-( I'm pretty sure that one of the band members was also in London at the time of the bombings so they wrote this to try and get in touch with him.

ppl thought he was saying i dont understand the point of fingers
lol
