perhaps the hawkesbury river situated between sydney and the central coast of nsw wales. a beautiful river surrounded by amazing landscapes. perfect for such a fantastic song.
Do you guys know if it is illegal to create a short film using this song? I'm in film school and this is just such a beautiful song that I want to create what I see in my head when I hear it. The Cat Empire are so inspiring.
My best friend adored this song. He passed away last year while swimming in the bay. Now he's no longer there, but the spirit lives on, wherever you are Mikey. Sail to distant shores and we will dance for you forever.
I saw these guys last year and I'm seeing them again this year in October! They were so fucking amazing last time! Felix is so gorgeous in person, he was wearing black jeans and a plain white Tshirt... And every time he jumped about with his arms up you saw his little snail trail on his tummy... Oooooooh mama! I plan to find them after the show this time, Ima track them down!
@Metanator this song is about global warming and how if we don't do anything about it our "ancestors" will be "no longer there". Such smart and beautiful lyrics. Great Song (Y)
Yep, thats the whole basis of the song. Felix is an ambassador for saving the environment, and does a lot of work with government agencies which focus on preserving the environment, he and the rest of the cat empire also spoke to children in australian schools about global warming as well. Its really important to them.
I asked the same question and youtubers said it could be at the sandhills before Kurnell where Mad Max was filmed, or down south at the endless beaches near Bells Beach.

Found this linked in a National video. A fantastic chill mood, similar to the National but unique in it's own right.

This song was inspired by a book called The Weather Makers by Australian scientist Tim Flannery. Strongly recommended reading.
It has nothing to do with 2012, do you worry about zombies and drop-bears as well??
