Scrolling youtube for 5 years. First comment. Settle down folks.
Paul kelly and Kev are about as vegemite as you can get; they are and always will be, i think, the epitome of australian musicianship, and with that everything that the term entails.
Music for the moment though. All styles/all genres; fundamentally what counts is the feeling. If, in the middle of reciting a ballad such as this, you feel like speaking like a bogan or the reincarnation of shakespeare, all the more power to you.
I cannot believe they have auto-tuned this version! Don't get me wrong, I love John Butler, but whoever auto-tuned this is a fag. There are far better versions, go find them.
most people know this tune but few know who Kev Carmody is... shame really cause its really an excellent Australian ballad... personally i would say it is the Aboriginal Australian equivilant of the Man from Snowy River... another great ballad/poem. it tells a story, but the real message it conveys is far greater than the words.
thankks >>lots love the weetra firmly

A good version of Paul Kelly and Kev Carmody's song. Wave Hill Station was a big part of reconciliation.
