[whitebeardpirate5]

[anakmandalong]

@whitebeardpirate5 am a lonely romantic alcoholic LOL

[whitebeardpirate5]

@anakmandalong i make it short,you are a melancholic.lol

[chillimocha]

Awesome song. Nobody can make music like this anymore. Those days are long gone.

[stacpoolemusic15]

have not heard this song for soooo long - always knew there was another than 'if i was a carpenter' but couldn't remember it!! WOW!!! thanks for posting, for reminding me and simply letting me hear it again!! yes you can hear the similarities with his brothers voice - both magnificent.

[chillimocha]

Fantastic song. Thanks for sharing it.

[stewie40]

a beauty of a song from this underrated australian artist. has always had to live in his brothers shadow...

[bluesmuso1563]

Australia is so lucky to be able to call him ours! Swanee=Legend

[frankmachin]

Great voice, every bit as good as his bro's, but a better looking version. Should've had a great career. I think the piss got the better of him.

[JRMOOING]

Please explain the six dislikes.  This is real music people.

[robertgraham70]

Great pipes, great tuning and what an amazing song!

[gafieldhouse1]

OMG.. makes me cry...Love it soooo much!!

[manwithcaninhand]

i think swanee is related to jimmy barnes. his cousin?

[nzoz1982]

@manwithcaninhand full brother... just sharing different names. one kept original family name... other changed to step dad's name...

[driffter1976]

A true AOR classic!!!!!!!!

[australiarod]

What a wonderful song. The best aussie love ballad? No, just one of the most beautiful songs ever written, anywhere, by anyone. I hope you like it too! goodbye little one, L R xxx

[kidswithguns04]

Close your eyes,listen and travel back to a time when life was easier

[racinxxx]

@kidswithguns04 well said!!

[driffter1976]

@kidswithguns04 How was it easier? A man still had to work and pay the bills and put food on the table.

[hunkydaboyz]

The woman in this clip , who is she i must have her

[nzoz1982]

@hunkydaboyz

Doesn't the date of the song (never mind the fact Swanee asked the same question 10 x's in the song) put you off a bit????

[hunkydaboyz]

@nzoz1982 well i'm guessing we'd be the same age now , just curious , i suppose if Swanee couldn't find out , i've got buckleys

[nzoz1982]

@hunkydaboyz i'm 33... i should have asked Swanee who she was when I met him at Donnie Sutherland's cruise. If I see him I'll ask him for you!

[hunkydaboyz]

@nzoz1982 thanks but going by the video , looks like they weren't being filmed together, its a mystery , you could say she's a Mystery Girl...........

while you're here you wouldn't have Warm Ride by Graham Bonnett , always like that clip

[nzoz1982]

@hunkydaboyz Okay... I'll get the 'Warm Ride' clip out! It will be coming... trust me!  But you must wait for a bit!

[hunkydaboyz]

@nzoz1982  great news ta

[80sOGRE]

@hunkydaboyz i heard she died in a car accident some years back. no, just kidding.

[ColdChiselRox]

This guy is really good o:

[851s]

Great job as usual nzoz,love your work

[nzoz1982]

@851s thank you

[tryandlisten]

lol, "Sounds" - I haven't thought of that show for years

[annesciberras]

@tryandlisten

Thankyou ! Great song I was only 11 years old when I first heard this....I grew up watching sounds with my older cousins. memories....

[hootiej]

Fantastic song & performance. I met him a few times . A good bloke to boot.

[guruofpiano]

Excellent !! my friend. Well done.Thumbs!!. G.

[krazynite]

Bugger Guy Sebastian.....here is one of Adelaide finest. Criminally underated!!!!

[genericgeorge]

nzoz1982 do you have Ol' Rosie in your catalogue?

[nzoz1982]

@genericgeorge unfortunately i don't... sorry mate.

[genericgeorge]

If you love someone, what does their name matter. I guess Swanee just calls her Mulva or Deloras :)  Great aussie song

[hecnj001]

Swannee should be recognised for the superb songwriter he is

[MrSalmon1966]

Classic NZOz1982. Thanks for the posting. I hadn't heard this since the 80's. So many great memories.

[adrianoter]

they need to play this on Old 104, they always just play his sunny boys songs, this is far superior to he's gonna step on you again. And Temporary Heartache too.

[Rayvyn74]

You guys do know he is Jimmy Barnes' older brother right?

[nigsucker]

@Rayvyn74 FUcking really?

[mygreatlovenova]

GORGEOUS AUSSIE SONG!!!!!!!

[ocossa]

Watching all the sites of Australia it does make a person so warm, a lot like we Aussies are and I am not being prejudiced but I think we have some of the most beautiful looking people even though some are from other countries there is a beauty and openness with us that shines through. Proud to be an Aussie

[guruofpiano]

Great song. thank you.

[pk3er]

what a song

[ferrettclay]

Sigh! swoon!

[LFox13]

Sensational song, well remastered!

[MyCityOfSYDNEY]

God,i love this song!

[nitakate10]

This is my First Boyfriends and my song in 1987. It still hurts and I still feel it. What an amazing song...

[epochery]

i love the sounds caption. Used to wacth that show on a saturday morning, i think Donnie Sutherland was the host.

[nzoz1982]

@epochery he was and he is a 'vague' friend of mine... i made a channel for donnie titled 'welovedonnie' - check it out!

[nitakate10]

@epochery

My favourite song of all time :-)  I have tears in my eyes

[nitakate10]

@epochery

Yes Remember it well!!

God Bless Jimmy Barnes Half Brother and his 3 Children from different Mothers...LOL

[Rohboats]

[leedsozz56]

I'll walk with mu lady thru all kinds of weather to hold her hands, to smile to caress this is just an underated song

[vbvbvb088]

In 1993 my friend rang me early saturday morning to say this was ,a closset classic,...17 years later still as sharp as ever. I have a full poster of swanne leaning against the EH with the saints jumper....as I post this I am in Rome....not a patch on Melbourne...travelling around the world for 5 months..I know what I am about on...

[legria11]

Fantastic song & it brings back lots of great memories.....

[wardog1967]

[nzoz1982]

[wibblywobbly35]

Jon Kennett wrote this song and Sail Away and Temporary Heartache all sung by Swanee.Jon Kennetts music has been posted recently on you tube.

[CARNOCKS]

top song

[221074john]

What a song!! been looking for it for ages.. Ty for posting it!!! Awesome!!!

[thedogzaretalkin]

found it on limewire -_-

[camilleri1971]

Mate Swaney u need 2get on the karaoke clubs so people loke me can do ur music justice again.. luv ur stuff Swaney....

[BYTBP]

I have loved this song ever since I heard it and have found it impossible to find. Any help? I remember it being on a 80's mix - and still even recall the cassette tape.

[L0ckp1ck]

i had this song on an 80's cd collection from readers digest. it's called "great original hits of the 80's". i have the cd but it isn't working. i have emialed readers digest with the code number of the cd to see if they still have them around or if they know where to get some copies. i wouldn't mind having the collection again because there were some bloody good songs on them. i think there are 5 or 6 cd's all up

[comba06]

Yes, found on a CD by Swanee called 'Days Gone By' - but may be hard to track down - may be worth going to stores in person as search engines for 'swanee' will often just reveal al jolson's song!

[gapc1969]

excellent to see the old orig video, Sounds Unlimited was manditory viewing every Sat morn, great track , loved it back then and still do, top upload well done, Redfern Station

[rouncer74]

great voice.

good ballad.

the swan family are great. prefer john to jimmy.

although i do love jimmy's voice

[pabloalarroyo]

I'll ask the bleeding obvious question ..What are people doing watching and posting comments about artist they don't like? Attention seeking I hear you say...

[noonuspiggle]

are you people getting layed or what?the tension!!!!

[pugpoo]

thegman00

I SUGGEST YOU WEAR A COW SUIT AND HAVE BULL FUCK SOME SENCE INTO YA.

[buggylrp]

the game ur a dick, it's a song & a nice one at that, are ppl in here stupid (

[thegman00]

Obviously people in here are stupid..... take a look at yourself, who the fuck is `the game` ??

[pugpoo]

what a stupid comment !! Whats wrong with this song, (no smut and porn etc)Its backward thinking apes like you who promote the so called tallent like brittany and the chris browns of this world.I would suggest that you and your traveling cocktail party be placed into a vegimite jar and shot to the moon..

[thegman00]

Well ive heard of Brittney because i think she`d make a great Porn Star but who the fuck is Chris Browns ?? If its R n B, Rap, Techno, House, Hip Hop or any thing like that i wouldnt know them. Oh yeah what is `pugpoo` ??? Sounds like fucking dog shit to me !!!

[thegman00]

Instead of singing this fucked song... Why didnt he just ask her what her fucking name was ?? Would of saved alot of our ears from bleeding !!!

[fringert]

thegman00 your a fucking idiot!

[thegman00]

You`re fucking joking arent ya ?? Swannie is pathetic, no talent. He`s a fucking embarrassment to real Aussie artists !!!

[CruisinTR]

I've met the man himself several times, and the shows Swanee performs are nothing short of incredible. Has a great voice, can belt out a tune and has incredible showmanship.

What's your definition of "real Aussie artists"? You're a bloody disgrace, thegman00. Go back to whatever you normally listen to, but don't come in here all guns blazing just because it's not your kind of tune. Piss off.

[thegman00]

fuck mate i wouldnt be saying you met the guy so proudly... id be fucking ashamed. Ive seen him as a back up for AC/DC HE WAS BOOED OFF & WELL DESERVED ALSO. Real Aussie artists... AC/DC, Rose Tattoo, The Church, The Angels, Easybeats, Cruel Sea, Cold Chisel, INXS, Choirboys. Just to name a couple. Swanee aint one... what a joke hahaha

[CruisinTR]

I've seen most of those other artists play, and am also a big fan of all of them (AC/DC in particular), so fair enough. Swanee though, I say "met him" but actually being somewhat of a mate of his i've had the privilege to see him perform several times live. I wasn't disappointed with his shows and neither were the rest of his audience.

[thegman00]

oh fuck..... another one !!!!!

[majorcatch22]

Swanee, you're a poet! I don't think he can be beat. Wow, 1982, but then again a classic like this is always timeless. :) I got to play it again. Thanks NzOz1982.

[nzoz1982]

no worries! ;)

[MATTYMOO4U]

WOTZ YA NAME? HAHAHA!

[krazynite]

Adelaide's own.....;)
