I feel the same way you feel the way you have loads of tears the way you hear this song from a Aussie singing legend slim dusty who left peacefully in 2003 right months after he met the wiggles RIP SLIM the Aussies and me will miss you forever
This was my one of my fathers favourite songs. on the 3/3/16 at 9.15 am I played this for him as I sat next to him in hospital. I listened and watched the video with him for my first time. as soon as it finnished he passed. how many people get to end on that note. miss you dad.
Yeah lost me old man to cancer and he loved Slim so same effect when i hear it just a great tune with lyrics of wisdom and reflection. To the old boys!
❤ my grandmother too. She had a hard life. Lived through the depression working on a farm, two forced adoptions, divorced single mother who raised my mother and aunty with no support. Booted out of her church for being divorced. Worked every job she could to buy a house. Her home was my home most weekends listening to slim while preserving fruit, cooking , tending to hens and her veggies garden. Miss her❤
Slim Dusty was a legend. There will never be anyone like him. A great country singer, who was humble, righteous, and always put others first. I first saw him when I was about 10 years of age, when he used to come every year and sing in the Narrandera RSL hall, with the Slim Dusty Show. I saw other live shows in later years. He was an inspiration to other singers. With the new very good singers today, no one can come up with his style. I know they never will. God bless Slim Dusty in Heaven.
My Dad just died earlier today. It's now late and I'm picking through a few songs. When I was a boy he gave me a Slim Dusty cassette titled 'Australiana' and told me that my Grandad sometimes went fishing with Slim Dusty. I didn't know this song before today but I think I shall play it at his funeral.
Hei! I do not know you. I just want to tell you that my friend Bertil listen on Slim Dusty when he lived in Australia picking opals and his wife Birgit "Biggan" were there to. She died last year and now he is fighting for his life because of covid 19 - corona in the hospital. I still have not giving up hope that he will survive. He is over 85 years old.
@@bennjykerridge1381 Thks for your kind words Bennjy, they come from a good heart. And prompt me to recall those good times and beers together... I really appreciate that.
Listen to slim everyday he brings everyone together always will first heard him play at Tamworth in the 90's and cried when he passed was in my room as boy playing my guitar to country mile when my grandmother came and told me slims gone mate and I cried and haven't stopped playing him music still 20 years still no matter where your from and how your raised slim has a story that can make you relate wish more Australia music was like this and our country was like it used to be miss ya slim hope you and my grandmother are up there yarning and having a great time 🙏
What a true Australian Legend. He highlighted the best in us, family, friends and the true Aussie spirit of your handshake was your bond. He made you proud to be an Aussie.
I concur! Slim Dusty was a true Australian Legend. He embodied the true Australian Values of Mate-ship, a Fair Go, Ambivalence to Authority and the never - say - die attitude that makes Australia known the world over as "The Lucky Country". Slim Dusty, Farewell! You will be missed!
Who doesn't like slim over decades he s been at the pinicle of country music lots of artists have modelled their carers on him troy.cassa ect Lee keen just to name a couple love ya slim beautiful song lookn forwards lookn back lm a rock musician but l have followed his career iconic dean
yes slim, you have come along way down the track mate, you will always be remembered and a great part of this country, R.I.P. Slim Dusty see you at the gates when its my time mate., thanks for posting this video, nice video and song.
1979 and Slim visited my primary school. Insignificant school in a forgettable country town. He sang and then stayed and signed autographs. One for every, single kid that asked for one. A gracious and genuine performer from another time.
This is the first time I have seen this film clip. Thanks for posting it up, it was about 6 years ago I got into Slim's music. Wish I had seen the man himself in concert. RIP Slim, thank you for all the music you made. Truelly the best to ever come out of Australia. I am proud to be a Aussie.
I remember my Pop always loved to listen to Slim Dusty, in his last years he slowly died from a brain tumour listening to him, it's something that kept him calm and happy. I miss my Pop so much honestly, I pray all the time that he's okay. He really loved Slim Dusty though. He was such a kind and nice person. I miss you Pop, rip ❤️❤️
R.I.P Slim one of Australia's greatest country music singers I love this it's been played at family's funerals I'm all years now looking back on the good times and sad times you are missed dearly Sir Slim Dusty
It's almost haunting. In a beautiful way. It makes you treasure the life you have lived and appreciate those in your life who have made it what it is/was and will be in the future, after we all still have "a long way left to go".
What an absolute legend! I'm so sad i never got to meet Slim. I was introduced to his music too late. As soon as i heard the first song i was hooked. He tells every aussie's story through poetry in his music. Just about every song brings a tear to my eye. RIP Slim. You live on in so many people's hearts.
i was going to high school when slim died, and as you all know crying at high school for a guy is blasphemy but i still shed tears, Like if you did to.
this was one of my grandfather's favourite songs and at his funeral there was a part where everyone stood up and sang this song. rest in peace grandpa.
Slim dusty is a very talented Singer and he has this magical voice and lyrics that I love 💕💕❤️ his songs will never be forgotten in this world 🌍. So tell me when have you been listening to Slim Dusty songs?
I never liked country music, but i had a good meal/drinks/k night with some real good mates, this song seemingly saved me from terrible suicidal thoughts. That was 2 years ago. I now share this song with workmates who are depressed,but and over the last year since sharing/mentioning this song they have become so much brighter. Thanks slim !
I grew up listening to slim And so the places he's been mentioning in his songs I've been to Didn't think I'd cruise thought there but I did Right thought qld
My father-in-law passed away a few days ago and his older brothers were also friends of Slim when Slim very young. We have selected this song for the funeral
My parents Phoebe and Harry Smith were acquaintances with Slim and Joy , My parents were farmers on the Cape River , I fondly remember them coming to visit on our farm , I was only little , their daughter Anne was younger than me , one thing I recollect she had a little black doll that wet on our veranda , I was most upset . I will always have those thoughts and memory’s
I love this song, I am now 60 years old and lyrics sum up my life, I have had heartaches,and many blessings ,made decisions that I thought were right at the time,and even though I have paid a high price for those decisions I still believe that they were right.
Love from Australia, and abut of love with a heart full of strings So when that song plays the dusty track I believe in a path thats looking forward lookingback ❤️❤️❤️❤️
This song always brings a tear to my eye it was the song played at my grandads funeral and every time I hear it it’s like I’m with him again and for that I have to thank slim rip slim and mel

Nungurner Jetty sorry to hear about your old man... I bet you had some good times and beers together no better song to commemorate your dad 🍻🍻
This was one of my pops funeral songs and as I’m writing this I’m crying I’ve had a few beers but it’s such a beautiful song 💗

She died last year and now he is fighting for his life because of covid 19 - corona in the hospital. I still have not giving up hope that he will survive. He is over 85 years old.
The thing that worries me is when people don't have the conviction to have a Real Name
@@bennjykerridge1381 Thks for your kind words Bennjy, they come from a good heart. And prompt me to recall those good times and beers together... I really appreciate that.
The only king of country music in my eyes.

It's almost haunting. In a beautiful way. It makes you treasure the life you have lived and appreciate those in your life who have made it what it is/was and will be in the future, after we all still have "a long way left to go".
It has that tone for sure.
