Midnight Oil - River Runs Red

[surfcurly]

I think that Peter Garrett should get off his fat black arse and do something, instead of talkin shit.... how bout kickin the oil companies out first Pete..... oh hang on , you cant do that. NOW IM TRAPPED LIKE ADOG IN A CAGE!!!!!!

[wpcooper1978]

I always get shivers when I watch this ... so inspiring!

[antynaz1]

wer ist aus 11.1 Rastbachtal thumbs up!LOL

[rodesteves33]

buceta

[romulow1990]

Isto sim é uma banda de protesto!!!

não aquela coisa de marketing que o U2 faz! e que diz ser protesto, de ser preocupado com as causas da humanidade

[fru1tsa1ad]

We need more people like Gerret instead of Biebers and Gagas

[harlekin0263]

Schnauze halten, Geld verdienen, kein Spielverderber sein. Also so wie das Beispiel Deutschland. Das Recht nutzen zu demonstrieren, damit Deutschland auch mal zeigen kann, dass es demokratisch ist. Die Anderen sind ja auch so doof die Gesinnung öffentlich zu zeigen, Deutschland dagegen wahrt den Schein. Und sollte es mal eng werden, dürfen die Braunen auflaufen o. ä.

Sonja träumt derweil weiter von Ihrem "Frisörsalon" Mate, thx for upload!

[Grehmdel]

Well put 101. I love it that the video is from the truck bed show in NYC in front of Exxon HQ. We need more bands like Midnight Oil.

[Grehmdel]

Well said Lohe101



[AlbertoBregao]

Essa é de arrepiar...passaram-se anos e essa letra sempre atual...Mas a performance de Mr. Garrett..sempre é um show a parte..Inclusive quando dança...Muito show...lástima não fazerem mais shows como esse...

[scorpioxf]

I was there. Getting a book from Kinokuniya and I hear "King of the Mountain". I forgot the book and ran for the front!! It was awesome!

[161mhz]

You took all the call trees down....

[lonsktube]

You ask for Leaders.

Here We have one.

He is now in a place of Authority within a Labor Government and he is doing good things.

Yes Peter Garrett, yes indigenous language safety, yes turtle hospital, yes barrier reef protection, yes best voice in Federal Cabinet for everything decent and what the left want....



[charlitox1]

hail Greenpeace!!!

[coldwind9999]

We practise this in our English lessons :'D

[paulsak59]

I wish I was there. The Oils gave the most intense concert performance. I saw them in Mansfield MA during the 90's.

[mslaerik66]

Midnight Oil makes us dance

Exxon Oil makes us sick

[edgecityfilms]

Exxon yesterday.... BP today..... who next?

[Regis1314]

ATÉ QUANDO O HOMEM VAI DEVASTAR A NATUREZA EM TROCA MANEY ?

UM DIA DAQUI A 500 OU 1000 ANOS TALVEZ NÃO TENHA CONDIÇÕES DE VIDA HUMANA, SÓ AI PODERÁ O PLANETA SE RECUPERAR...

[tumnass]

Peter Garret For P.M

Operation Eternal Peter

[TheJasenator]

Shame there's not more people like Garrett in the Labor Caucus. We could have a real progressive government if there were.

[lonsktube]

@TheJasenator

That's exactly right!

Join Labor now and outnumber the turkeys that run the show.

[themxpdude]

There should be more people like them, how is it possible it is always the one with limited funds caring more for the environment than whom is actually responsible for taking care of it. Anyway, if we can't adapt to our environment we gonna be sent back to earth....it already happened, read your history and you'll see that nature gets rid of species who can't adapt. It is NOT the other way around.

Anyway, great song, great lyrics, and thank you Midnight Oil, at least your trying something.

[domeeghan]

CAN SOMEONE ADD THE REST OF THE MUSIC. ?

[FilthyLibCrusher]

The environmentalisrs are doing such a splendid job in the Gulf right now. Isn't it strange how we have Liberals running the show in the House, Senate, and even the Presidency and when Mother Nature, that they care so much about, is being sodomized and raped on their watch absolutely NOTHING is being done to fix it. You'd think Emanuels " don't ever let a crisis go to waste" rhetoric would have motivated them by now. What a joke, anyone that thinks Liberalism is anything but a Disease is sick...

[domeeghan]

MINERALS MANAGEMENT SERVICE SHOULD BE PUNISHED!

[MyKarmaRanOvrYrDogma]

Garrett must feel like a right twat having left the Greens to join Labor - only to be marginalized by the Rudd Control Freak Show!

Did Australia send even a single armed naval vessel to our Antarctic waters to monitor or even stop the slaughter of whales by the Japs? No. (A leased P&O vessel was sent). Anything been done to prevent another offshore oil spill in Australia? Of course not

[lonsktube]

@MyKarmaRanOvrYrDogma

If twats spent the same amount of time combatting the conservatives inside the Labor Party as they do farting around on YouTube with negative inanities then something like you're suggesting can happen.

Get politically active!

[esollien]

hind sight what's next for us??

[AProscurschin]

amo amo amo amo amo !!!!!!!! Foi a melhor banda q já existiu!!!!

[groundballfreddy]

Peter Garrett with the hip thrusts at 4:02. Ha ha.

Agree with nobbiedog. This is good indeed...superb indeed.

Midnight Oil should do another concert in front of BP's headquarters. Bleh.

[domeeghan]

@groundballfreddy .

iTS THE MINERALS MANAGEMENT SERVICE IN THE STATES. BP JUST DRILLED IT

[brendaleman]

No one ever learns .............BP!

[krashpolitics]

How awesome is the guitar intro.

[Win1990Danil]

[anonleft]

@Win1990Danil May 1990

[Win1990Danil]

@anonleft  thanks

[killerdreiskeptron73]

[Violnplayr23]

The guitar in this song kills it, lol. I love it!!

[w00dsta]

[mcdons01]

[glamnglitz582]

[EspressoPictures]

"and the dollar driving us still"

[lozarok]

The Oils fkn Rock...PLS do one more Tour of Central QLD!!!!

[nobbiedog]

i dont give a wank about what peter is doing now...he sang this and thats good enough for me...superb

[hoipolloifilms]

Garrett's amongst the finest Australians. There's not a chance he has 'sold out'.

[Greatfox200]

too bad Garrett sold out.

[Lohe101]

He sold out by becoming the Minister for the Enviroment, Heritage and Arts, being president of the Australian Conservation Foundation for TEN years?? Dude, what have YOU done for the environment that lets you judge him as a sell out?

[hmoy24677]

@Lohe101 WORD!

[Violnplayr23]

@Lohe101 THANK YOU! He practices what he preaches!

[rebaler2]

@Violnplayr23 AMEN!!I agree 100% He left in the height of his career to do what was right for all of us!

[tortue12341]

@Lohe101 t'es qui toi pour le juger????!!!!!!! au moins il a fait quelques choses à son échelle LUI!!! et toi écouter,critiquer et m'énerver!!!

[steeledge1]

@Lohe101 Nice post Lohe101. I'm sick of the criticism PG is taking. The guy dedicates his whole life to great causes and then the second he dose something his fan are against, he's a sell out and everything he's done previously means nothing. People are so fickle at times.

[nitanewsreader]

@Lohe101

I think you'll find they don't have as much power once they get in to paliament as they thought they would ahve have to compromise and make deals they don't like

[sheadong]

awesome piano and bass

[kacha123abc]

pozdrowienia z polski

[BreakToTheBasic]

they rape the world and still rapeing.

"and the dollar driving us still". Yes dude, but the most sitting on the couch and watch TV :-/

[Rickranius]

Nothing more to say...Midnight Oil's just wonderful!!!

Greetings from Brazil!!!!

[RDSvarnaren]

5 star love his voice

[5ziro]

Very cooll!!!Brazilians love Midnight oil!!!!!!!

[musmov]

I was there! what a great idea right in front of the Exxon building in NY. Send the message right to the company and let them know we will never forget. Did you know that Exxon has still not paid it's debt to Alaska. It is still in the courts thanks to the Exxon lawyers.

[liqkhaos]

It's no longer in litigation. Exxon agreed to pay 75% of the $507.5 million on August 27th, 2008.

[moviemakingmaniac]

they show such powerful images in there film clips, its great

[deepwise]

lejos no es lo mejor de Midnight Oil

[LoicPoitevin]

J'ai mal à l'humanité!!!!!!!!!

[LoicPoitevin]

So we came and we conquered and found

Riches of commons and kings

Who strangled and wrestled the ground

But they never put back anything

Now Im trapped like a dog in a cage

Wherever the truth is pursued

It must be the curse of the age

Whats taken is never renewed

[LoicPoitevin]

So you cut all the tall trees down, you poisoned the sky and the sea

Youve taken whats good from the ground

But youve left precious little for me

You remember the flood and the fall, we remember the light on the hill

There should be enough for us all, but the dollar is driving us still

River runs red, black rain falls, dust in my hand

River runs red, black rain falls, on my bleeding land

[thorinaiello]

amazing lyrics...i miss OIL

[LoicPoitevin]

only time what it was this possible!

A real shout against the human's criminality pollual comportement.

Now they give a nobel prize just for fiction.

But him, this big guy had the soul in the tune.

[BreakToTheBasic]

100% agree

[darkmachete]

This is such a great song! The images shown in the video were very sad and depressing. But it was so cool to see the oils play in front of the Exxon building. The person that runs Exxon probably shit himself when he heard these guys were going to be playing.

[dexterriley]

awesome job..thanks so much for posting this. this tune never really made it on the radio,,not surprisingly,its a nice companion piece to cat stevens' where do the children play i believe..thanks again!
