Broken Hearts - Part 1


It's funny how songs like this appeal to you as a child. I guess it was like a portal into what adulthood intensity was going to be like. Little did we know how painful such things were going to be and that we never really wanted to go through a scenario such as the one outlined in this song. Great songwriting but if you look a little closer this is actually quite a disturbing tune. In there somewhere seems to be a suicide threat.



I loved this when I would have been 10. Quite possibly the greatest heartbreaking tune of them all. It's all too much! That voice too.

Invasion Day/Australia Day


I loved this song when I was little which is strange really. This is so fucking heartbreaking I can barely even listen to it. I don't know much about Billy Field but he is definitely an anomaly in Australian Rock. He was sophisticated and urbane!


The plight of the Australian Aborigines is one of the more disgraceful chapters in The British Empire's history. Still today poverty and age expectancy are massive issues that seem to be perennially unsolvable. Anyway I saw The Warumpi Band once and man they rocked harder than ACDC.
