  • Stunning track. Don't think the video anywhere near does it justice, but hey it was the 80s... If you grew up in Western Australia it must have felt like the loneliest place on Earth, and this sounds like the loneliest song ever written. Perfectly sums up the meloncholy of leaving someone you love behind, being free at last to go 'anyplace that you want to go' - and the feeling of isolation and utter loneliness that comes with it. RIP David McComb.

  • Thankyou YouTube. I was watching the ABC's car documentary "Wide Open Road" and this was the opening song which is very haunting and takes me back to being a teenager in the 80's and driving for the first time.

    The ultimate Aussie "road trip" theme song!

    It makes me think of travelling from Melbourne to Adelaide along the Western Highway.

    Now the the signature tune to the ABC documentry series of the same name.
