@nzoz1980 you are a gun. I grew up as a teenager with Crawl - sitting on Cylinder Beach in Nth Stradroke Island and listening to Sons of Beaches, Sirroco, the eponymous album ... and geting into the shit for purposely wrecking a mate's Eagles casette because I hated hated hated like poison "Hotel California" and "Desperado" ... err ... sorry ... back to the world of dreams.

@MrWombat21 ha ha, thanx for calling me a gun. I think that suits me!

funny it took nearly thirty years to find out who sung this..frigg'n awesome tune that lingured in the background but never did i need to hunt it down, usually play'd ever few years on some obscured radio station...mystery complete

[nzoz1980]

congradulations... any sense of surprise that it was just some Aus. Crawl song?

[dagiffy]

My Aussie roommate turned me on to these guys in '88 in Idaho at college. Immediately liked them. Rock on forever Aus Crawl, we won't ever forget you!

I remember seeing them at MYER MUSIC BOWL (1982?) THANK GOD IT'S OVER concert..it was about 30 degrees all day,loads of school kids,drinking like there was no tomorrow,the human pyramids,jumping from Princes bridge into the yarra. I think that was the last FREE concert of it's type in Melbourne.

we had our first ever bottle of bacardi,but wine casks,lilydale cider were everywhere,not forgetting UDL.

Some things are not for sale. Some things money cannot buy. This song tells that story. Everytime I hear this song I think of how lucky I am that I have my lovely partner and I can say what I really feel. Long love love, honesty and being true to yourself.
