    The loss of Michael Hutchence was/is devastating.

    I'm not gonna lie, I'm a gamer, I discovered this song through Vice City-I was born in 1991 and I was just short of that awesome decade that was the Eighties but I've since grown to truly love all of INXS' music and I think Michael Hutchence was a truly special performer the likes of which we'll never see again.

    • @LorchVHS

      He truly was.
      My wife and I talk about him a lot.
      Much like you, she kind of missed out on so much great music, born in '88 and growing up in a small country town .
      I've tried to expose her to all manner of interesting music in the hopes she'll like it but with INXS, no effort is required.
      The only problem was having to tell her that Michael died before she even knew who he was.
      Broke her heart. She cried.

    Hutchence wrote the song with INXS multi-instrumentalist Andrew Farriss, who told Songfacts the meaning behind the song. "The lyric of 'Kiss The Dirt' is about how it doesn't matter how big you get as an actor or an artist or whatever field or endeavour you are involved in," said Farriss. "Eventually, whether it's age or the tyranny of time, there's a myriad of things that can happen to you, and none of us really knows where we're really going in the end. It's not supposed to be a depressing lyric. The idea is, everybody falls off the mountain eventually, doesn't matter how high you get."
    "What Michael wrote is really beautiful poetically," he added. "When you're a little kid, you play in the dirt. If you've got some dirt to play on, a bit of earth, you might build a sandcastle or you might just dig a hole in your backyard, just messing around. But, you're always going to kiss the dirt in the end. Everything reverts back to the earth in the end. Everything."

      @reginabaggie851 ปีที่แล้ว +1

      Agree. It's so sad and it bothers me that Michael wanted to be remembered for his poetry and lyrics, but was defined mainly as a sex symbol. I think that was something that contributed to his depression later on towards the end of his life. To this day people mostly talk about his looks as opposed to him being a great songwriter, intelligent, worldly, etc. Yes, he was a very handsome man, but he was so much more than his looks. Wish he was still here, happy, and wish that INXS was still around. I feel they would be if he hadn't passed. I also wish I had been born way earlier than 1995 so that I could have had a better chance to see them live at least once. 😢

    Listen Like Thieves was the first album I ever heard by INXS, in 1986. It is, to me, one of their three best, the other two being Kick and X. All the other albums were great (except for the first two), but those three stand out the most to me. Listen Like Thieves also seems, to me, the most 'Australian' of their albums. I'm not certain what would makes it so Australian. It just has that feel to it. Michael did not have much of an Aussie accent, due to the fact that he did not live his whole life in Australia, but spent part of his life in Hong Kong and the US. But, on this album, he seemed to sing in such a way as to bring out what Australian accent he did have. He had such a great voice, was very handsome and sexy, and could sing like nobody's business. He was also truly and honestly talented, as well as very smart. He's still my favorite singer, and I wish he was still around.

    Courtesy of Vice City. That hardcore buildup at the end is simply amazing. And then the song finishes up with one last simple, chill verse. This song is pretty much just about perfect. In other words, I really wouldn't hesitate to play this song in the car with anyone, no matter who they were or what their music preference was/is. Enjoy my friends. RIP Michael we all love you and your groovy moves live on forever through us and your timeless videos and performances.

    You'd rather be without
    Eden lets me in
    I find the seeds of love
    And climb upon the highwire
    I kiss and tell all my fears
    Falling down the mountain
    End up kissing dirt
    Look a little closer
    Sometimes it wouldn't hurt
    Playing in the dirt
    We find the seeds of fun
    And we scream like alleycats
    Tearing down what we attack
    To prove that we are one
    Cutting through the night
    We find the seeds of lust
    And lose our minds on one intent
    These passions never seem to end
    Falling down the mountain
    End up kissing dirt
    Look a little closer

    You know it wouldn't hurt

    I remember the first time I heard INXS, sometime in 1984 when the album "The Swing" came out (which by the way was fantastic). They were completely different with a new sound for me that sounded exotic, but still familiar. There was something about the way they sounded that gave me a kind of "Australian" feeling. A prominent warm bass sound, dense drums, good rhythm and a charismatic singer. "Kiss the dirt" is a good example, but it is also "Beds are burning" with Midnight Oil from the same time. A little later, Crowded House and not least Nick Cave came and emphasized the phenomenon, but in a slightly different way. In any case, there was no doubt that the starting point for the music was different from England, which at that time totally dominated the rock scene. A variation on the same theme, but still clearly different.
