Midnight Oil - My Country

[RednBlackFightBack]

some countries do not allow political comment the music is all they have. It stinks to see political comments but remember if you can be confused and post why do you talk polotics in the comments of music videos then your free. Those posting may not be.

[Dyzm]

vevo really oils?....so sad.

[Rammer5Oh]

I prefer to think he continues his fight from the INside

[sergechartrand64]

peter-garett- split with the band to-go-in >>>fuckin-politics<<< sad!!!!!!

[TheSordez]

@sergechartrand64 Its sad yes, but you don't need to cuss.

[slowbox]

The bald guy singing, Peter Garrett, is basically the king of Australia. Look it up. His skull full of words actually turns into action and not just upvote clicks. The mofo makes sh!t happen in politics. Google it.

[TheSordez]

@slowbox Exactly, but don't cuss.

[Maazinhhaa]

mano essa música ai

[Haley2465]

This reminds me so much of my time in Australia. Listening to this while driving on the Gibb River Road. That's what I call inspiration. Thank you Midnight Oil.

[engcpp]

Pô vem me vender imovel até no YOUTUBE! tomem vergonha né!

todo mundo já sabe que o mercado imobiliario brasileiro tá travado! e que ninguem mais vai se endividar a vida toda para pagar um cubiculo de 50 m² ..

então parem de apelar!

[cjeclypto]

My GOD! I'm trying to listen to the classic Midnight Oil, then this HORRID CRAP comes on and it turns out it's some bitch trying to sing about her clingy problems! FUCK OFF! Let me listen to my awesome music!

Fuck you VEVO, get rid of these ads. No-one could give a rats ass.

[tracerxy]

@cjeclypto ............ADBLOCK PLUS

[SteveSparx]

tremendous band

[COMMUNISTPHILOSOPHY]

@Cheespuffs45- it's not for you to decide whether MO is a "communist" band is it? Many of their lyrics appear to support broad communist ideals, as do Killing Joke's. Your insults are lame, as are your attempts to restrict freedom of expression, ie. comments. Opinions are like assholes, eveyone has one, guess you also had to have your 15 seconds of fame

[jordanblythe104]

garret cracks me up when he dances. lol

[achaj67]

Australia must be beautiful.. since Garret, so amazing about it .... dancing !

Great song !!

[surfcurly]

This band was and still is one of the best in the world. How shit is Bieber compared to this? there is no comparison.... i will say furthermore that this band will not be topped. Just awesomeness at its peak.

[COMMUNISTPHILOSOPHY]

Look at this genuis band, utter Brilliance

[COMMUNISTPHILOSOPHY]

'Moving to Australia and living there from 1987 until 2002, he [Bones Hillman; New Zealander] was a member of internationally known Australian rock band Midnight Oil, replacing Peter Gifford as bass player.'

Wiki

[COMMUNISTPHILOSOPHY]

Great Communist band, screw this capitalist nightmare, it's "goin wrong"

[Cheespuffs45]

@COMMUNISTPHILOSOPHY Midnight Oil is not a "communist band" just because some of the idealism overlaps. BTW, you are not doing communism a favor by posting 10 comments in each video like every week or so and acting like a total nutcase. Seriously, do you have better things to do than make the rounds every night posting the same comments over and over?

[COMMUNISTPHILOSOPHY]

'My country going wrong'

lol so true

[COMMUNISTPHILOSOPHY]

Aus produced some good bands back in those days, pity they could not sustain it

[XxXScirishWarLordXxX]

@COMMUNISTPHILOSOPHY We're back in the business now, Heard of Over reactor? :)

[COMMUNISTPHILOSOPHY]

fav Austrailian Communist band, saw them live in nz too

[loveandcoffee11]

More people should hear this song.

[6Betts]

My all time favorite midnight oil song ever!

[Tedisntakidanymore]

I always loved this band. Powerful, relevant, exciting stuff from Ozz. Their appearance on Saturday Night Live is still one of that show's highlights for me.

[takeittookit]

SUPERB! Midnight Oil, political marvels of their time!Luvthem

[Bigdoggy74777]

Absolute example of great Oz music AGAIN !!!!

[OroborusFMA]

This is not a case of blurred vision.

It's a case of black holes, pocket holes, soul holes.

[TheExpansionMansion]

Earth and Sun and Moon - possibly their creative apex! Outstanding production and mix here! :^)

[plz989]

Why do many comment boards about music videos turn into debates on politics or philosophies? Or do we all have to hate Justin Bieber? Just enjoy the music, or move on, please.

[MarsMoonEuropa]

@plz989 @plz989 Peter Garret wrote his music to inflame debate.

Politics,

People,

Power.

If you don't like my environmental minister, move on you CANADIAN!!!!!!!!

[MarsMoonEuropa]

@plz989 FOREIGNER!!!!!

haha just joking but the point sticks.

[XxXScirishWarLordXxX]

@plz989 Because the oils were All about Politics? Hmm, Know what the reason of a bands existence of a band or move on, please.

[humboldtus]

@plz989 I don't know about every other comment board, but it makes sense for people to discuss politics and philosophies when listening to Midnight Oil.

[BCzepa]

@plz989 i wish people would stop saying that name and stop liking comments with that name in it. thumbs down D:

[anarchisttomato]

@plz989 I know what you mean, but to be fair, this sort of song is designed to arouse such a debate...

[billsmith2008]

@plz989 In this case because he sold out. He sang against political corruption and more then he became one. He was an icon the face against political corruption, aboriginal treatment, US involvement in our political system. That's why, he's a sellout and his fans will NEVER forgive him for it.

[Prowler609]

@billsmith2008 now how has the US involved itself in your political system,, other than having a genetic kinship between our peoples we do very little economic trade with you, so any influence is prob. exagerated. Something tells me your political mindset would put chairman mao in charge of the world and anyone not 5 shades darker than pale would findtheir way to the the gas chamber as punishment for the sins of their fathers

[garak0410]

@plz989 I totally agree. While I don't agree with their politics (or many bands politics), Midnight Oil kicks some major butt! Love the OILS!

[elwap0]

sadly there is a lot of my country wright or wrong and the world keeps turning

[keefmicawber]

@warriorblood100

I'm an American and you don't even know me. You sound like a sniveling little crybaby. Stop blaming other people for your problems. Additionally, you evidently aren't really listening to the Oil's message. I'd like for you to elaborate why exactly September 11 was our fault. I'm open to your interpretation. Prove it or find something else to bitch about.

[lazyman556]

@keefmicawber

I'm an American, and I partially agree it was our fault. Partially. 9/11 was caused in part because of American interference in the Middle East. If we had just stayed out and avoided getting involved with Israel, Iran, the Gulf War, etc. 9/11 would not of happened. Does that mean 9/11 was justified? Of course not. But 9/11 was certainly in response to American interference, and would not have happened if we didn't meddle in the affairs of other countries.

[ECTBWHO]

@lazyman556 911 was carried out by American assets. The US Government gets what it wants no matter what your life isnt worth a dime.

[emerice]

I am so pissed at sony music! tried to play another version of this song and i am not allowed because i am in Canada? Fuck You Sony! Australia is a member of the British Commonwealth as is Canada, how dare you tell me i cannot listen to music from a fellow Commonwealth country. So to give you the ultimate fuck you I am going to illegally download midnight oil and then send a charitable donation to an Australian Aboriginal charity in Midnight Oils name. Fuck you sony Fuck you in your stupid ass!

[wotaj]

I always think about the tragedy of the Branch Davidians when I hear this song.

Listen to the lyrics,it matches up exactly with their murder.

[45greyowl]

This is a masterpiece.

[katjill52301]

Every track on this release were hidden gems here...JUST PHENOMENAL!!!!!!!!!!!

[ColoradoRanger]

it's not about patriotic brainwashing because the statement my country right or wrong means that even if it is wrong you still love it, your government is different then your country

[TheFrankiebags]

Is my country Good or Evil? Dont care cuz its my country right or wrong

[crazyward69]

im proud to be an aussie

[darsky1]

@crazyward69 As a canadian, this band influenced our shared aboriginal condition! THEY ROCK!!! TRUTH,,,,, FORGIVENESS and LOVE!!!

[6Betts]

Midnight oil is the best, I wish they would restart the band. I think Peter Garrett could handle it he does not look that much older



[mrheifferson]

Love these guys always have since like 20 years ago!

[TheSandsie13]

love this song. the album it's on isn't as militant as "diesel and dust" but it's still good. love the band . glad to see they still rock after all these years. keep going peter, rob, and the rest.

[TheWonderlandmotel]

ohhh wow my bad i meant VEVO MAN blowing ..UP.. a lage ...INFLATABLE...goat...man can lag realy mess the message up!!!!!sorry about any missunderstanding.....

[TheWonderlandmotel]

I was thinking that due to the playback quality a "logo" change is called for. maybe vevo could make a "VEVO MAN" and while the vidio is playing like a strobe light, in the lower right of the screan, steady as day, there could be VEVO MAN blowing a large goat.....just a fealing I got while stuuuter..r..ing..thr..o.ugh this ..vid..i..o nice job guys..think about the VIVO man idea though..it would work..IMHO..

[48leopard48]

Thanks for downloading VEVO sucks!

[bobfenster]

One of their best. Love the piano lead.

[EmilBlueLime]

I LOVE Geelong Australia always... <3 ; P

[wheeler1]

lol the way it moves around is dizzying!

[acgreene1313]

Video was in perfect clarity for me. Could've done without the 13 second ad.

[SydBarrett1977]

I'd rather sacrifice picture quality than to watch this jerky shit

[tjelect7]

Vevo sucks!
