Midnight Oil - One Country

[serbonatto]

take it easy folks, why so much hungry, peace.

[angelpointtv]

This great song is more inspiring then that Advance Australia Fair crap we have to put up with.

[bambinas1000]

is difficult to say something about our world, but the vision of some people is very important to us, since we have to keep the good things in our minds and share to the rest of the world to change all bads things

[lukefromdownunder]

this is probably my favourite song by the oils

[mikey2034]

Paul John Keating was the last politician that inspired me!! Apart from Pete that is!

[dalmanation]

@mikey2034 I'd keep that quiet If I were you. 

[mikey2034]

I almost shed a tear when I hear this, a time when Australia looked forward to a future that was equal, honest and gave a sh"t about others in our community that were not as lucky as us. PJK had a vision.

[dalmanation]

@mikey2034 Yep that'd be the recession we had to have

[CassioMZ]

3:15 is that behind a tornado?

[CmObyrne]

This song... people don't understand its an actual dig at Aussie Culture. It's about the the white australia policy

[dalmanation]

@CmObyrne Aussie Culture does not = White Australia Policy anymore....you fail. Anglo - Celts built this Nation...can't dispute it. Be proud of what we have and learn from the past. The easy path is not necessarily the best one, nor is the path the majority think is best

[bonchidude]

@dalmanation More like destroyed it. There were forests there and pristine ones. If there was a cure for old age in those forests, that cure is now gone and we will never know of it. When you destroy the forests you destroy the very essence of the land. Replacing a forest or pristine land with buildings is not building but essentially it is destroying. When man ceases to exist as a greedy consumer the trees, and such will claim it all back in less than 50 years.

[dalmanation]

@bonchidude Oh you mean the forests the aborigines burnt down when they killed all the megafauna! And you mean destroyed by creating schools, highways, hospitals and telecommunications so people like you could blog and troll.Get in a plane and fly over Australia and you will see how ridiculous your comments are.

[dalmanation]

@CmObyrne White Australia Policy finished in 1973 you idiot. You are have a twisted mind. One country is about that - coming together to celebrate the good things in Aussie Culture. Haters like you make me sick

[dalmanation]

@CmObyrne please tell us how this song is a dig at Aussie culture?. I have already proved it is not about white Australia policy. I would suggest you first read and listen to the lyrics you idiot

[dalmanation]

@CmObyrne who'd like to change the world, who hands out equal rights, now every man must be what his life can be, don't talk in maybes, don't talk like has beens - these are all lyrics from One Country, a celebration of Australia and all who embrace it's freedom, not as you say - a dig at Aussie culture nor is it about the white Australia policy. Go somewhere else and let honest people enjoy this music please

[frankeager]

I miss seeing the oils live.

[MsCaz007]

@frankeager I really miss them too and would love for them to get together and tour again. One of my favourite bands of all time.

[deetro745]

f*** Vevo

[TIMOTHYSAARINEN]

Fucking masterpiece! Beautiful song. Very emotional for me. Since I started using Mozilla Firefox about 18 months ago, I haven't seen one fucking ad.

[59rbreton]

I liked these guys the first time I saw them on M.T.V. by mistake, I was turning the channle from M.T.V. as my 10 year old daughter was watching it, and "beds are burning" got me right in the heart.

[MsDreamshaker]

my all time fav song of theirs.... love how it builds, and the raw power of him... stops me in my tracks every single time I hear it!!

[augib]

Makes me feel Aussie everytime i hear it....

[wilmoz]

vevo is the downfall of youtube

[TheRiffraff1968]

Special song for me i spent 10 years in the places pictured in this clip as a driller.

"OUR CONTRY" "ONE COUNTRY"

[Kiwilogtrucker]

FCKIN ADS

[vancanman2]

1. Beautiful song and what a beautiful country. Someday I'll make it to Australia.

2. What ads? Oh yea, not everyone has adblock.

3. Why do Americans have difficulty viewing this? (No problems north of the border. ...maybe it's a commonwealth thing, eh?) Why do corporations feel the need and that they have the right to control what people see and hear?

[rusbern]

@vancanman2 i think its happening here but ya wont relise until ya want to look up chitt they dont want ya to new world order here first.i rekon.

[lazyman556]

God, it took me forever to find this song in a vid that was viewable in the US. I hate region lockouts. Stop hogging all the good music Australia!

[AnCatDubh07]

I love this song, love Midnight Oil. I think BSM is their best album.

[Tubernaut]

@AnCatDubh07 Their last truly great album although Breathe is a solid effort.

[argaska]

beautiful................

[mrfiggins]

The fact that I can't get this on YT in my country(US) tells me all I need to know. Thanks Vevo. Todays Empires,..Tomorrows Ashes.

[actressinny]

LOOOOOOOOOOOOOOVE THIS SONG!!!! Thank you for posting!!

[Kamon67]

i love this song.

[EmilBlueLime]

Why would they shoot these poor crossing signs! ::(

[TheSandsie13]

is it just me or are all the pics in this of pubs. aussie is more than pubs and roos. ok the pubs are needed in the outback.

[wa2ise]

I see, at 2:27, that you have hunters who shoot at road signs. Same thing happens here in the USA to our "deer crossings" signs. :-)

[deadplanet22]

Blue Sky Mining is my favorite record they did. Just Timeless!! The Australian R.E.M..

[kingpengvin]

hold for my hair woot!!! FUCK YOU TUBERS

[TheErikwithak]

Wish they would tour again, and fill our hearts again with joy.....So beautiful

Greetings from Flanders

[MarsMoonEuropa]

@TheErikwithak Unfortunately he's busy ruining MY COUNTRY!!!!!

[no1zgrl4eva]

This song is right up there with John Lennon's "Imagine" - one of the best songs ever written about humanity.

[UngratefulSwine]

I agree :)

[Laser110]

One of my favorite Oil's songs. Great video, I didn't even know it existed. The house at 3:31, isn't that the same on the "Diesel and Dust" album cover?

[breezester]

Anyone else pissed off with these ads on here!!!

[EmilBlueLime]

Well I try not to let it bother me to much, but ya it does get to me to sometimes I guess lol

[scidriver]

@breezester yes!!!!!

[actressinny]

@breezester , Just hit F5 when the ad comes up and they magically disappear :)

[geoff421]

@breezester hell ya dude, they ruin everything...great song tho

[CubsfanGSO]

@breezester of course, but I'd rather put up them than pay!! 

[retard2041]

@breezester without the ads you would not be watching this for free

[bigchz1]

@breezester Yeah, if I see one more Sunkist ad...

[WATERMELONZZZ123]

@breezester VERY MUCH!!!!!!!!!
