Truganini - Lyrics
There's a road train going nowhere
Roads are cut, lines are down
We'll be staying at the Roma bar
Till that monsoon passes on
The backbone of this country's broken
The land is cracked and the land is sore
Farmers are hanging on by their fingertips
We cursed and stumbled across that shore
What for?
I hear much support for the monarchy
I hear the Union Jack's to remain
I see Namatjira in custody
I see Truganini's in chains
And the world won't stand still
Blue collar work it don't get you nowhere
You just go round and round in debt
Somebody's got you on that treadmill, mate
And I hope you're not beaten yet
I hear much support for the monarchy
I hear the Union Jack's to remain
I see Namatjira in custody
I see Truganini's in chains
I hear much support for the monarchy
I see the Union Jack in flames, let it burn
I see Namatjira with dignity
I see Truganini's in chains
And the world won't stand still
And the world won't stand still
Chains...
And the world won't stand still
And the world won't stand still

I am descendent from Truganini, We Have Survived"💯💯🙏
@@chalkupsomepurchase3842 yes Sey had children to a koori man, that settled in Warranombol..
a'ho ! keep on !
Sovereignty was never ceded! I'm an American, but I'm part Native as well, with ancestry from the Winnebago (Ho-Chunk) tribe as well. The resilience of Native people around the world has never let me down.
RIP their bassist Bones Hillman. After a battle with cancer he died at the age of 62 in his home of Milwaukee, Wisconsin USA. He'll always be remembered.
Proud Australian bones Hillman
😞
O baixo dessa música é doido demais. Viva Bones!
I hope Bones is rocking those bass lines on the other side 💔
I just know he passed away so sad.
That’s sad
Garrett ozzes charisma with the best dancing in any video! Best Aussie band since the B Gees!
This song is actually a little masterpiece in writing and production.
indeed, even as a devout metalhead, I keep this in my top 10, MAD respect to this great band! and RIP Bones Hillman 😢
Rest in Peace Truganini. Never forgotten.
White Australia has a Black history.
@@Mumscup a dark history
"Truganini" remains one of their strongest statements on this subject area.
The Oils do some of their best music clips under bridges.
This masterpiece should have waaay more views, it's fine tho, like an exclusive club for people with good taste from all over the world.
I'm an American, but I love Midnight Oil, and I love their commitment to advocating for the Aboriginal community in their songs. I wish more White Americans back here were more vocal about indigenous rights here as well.
Another virtue signal
This is midnight oil just flexing how good a band they are….Musically as good as any band to ever do it…Harmonies as good as any band in history…At the height of their powers here..Musical Royalty
We saw them in Columbus,Oh almost 30 years ago+WOW was it good.Amazing show +we had front row seats about 12 ft.from Peter Garrett singing and dancing(Mind-blowing great singing+dancing+entire band!!). One of our VERY favorites of the many concerts we have seen!Highly underated band!They are insanely good!!! 💕❤️😊🆒🆒
What patriots.... This has to be one of the greatest, if not the greatest, Australian rock band around.
Lol. My friends and I are in this video. Between takes the band would play songs for the crowd. These guys are so awesome live. One of my favs ❤
Great live band saw them in south Africa 1994 they took people from the audience to play instruments at the end of the show was fun
Never forget that Peter Garrett and his bandmates defiantly stood on the Avenue of the Americas, and openly mocked the oil giant Exxon in front of its NYC building with their music for its horrific pollution of Prudhoe Bay (The Valdez) -- when no one else had the guts to say a word. They shut down the busiest city street in the world for an hour and excoriated the criminals, who would not come outside to face them.
They are true heroes.
Steven Gottlieb I sure as hell won't forget. Wish I was there then.
Steven Gottlieb perssppppe
booo
"no one else had the guts to say a word" - my arse. It was a huge public scandal.
Even before there was a Rage Against the Machine...there was the Midnight Oil fighting the good fight.
I love both bands never before made the connection. Musically quite different but you're right - they are similar In that they use their music to advance a cause
Rage just sounds angry to me. The Oils seem to have more. & That's just my view :)
This is a little more listenable.
Well said.
Dude, I use that analogy all the time!
The story of Truganini is truly disturbing. God bless the Oils for creating a song to recognise what she went through.
And what all indigenous peoples have endured...at the hands of so called Western "civilizations."
I agree. I can't understand though given her story why the film clip is in New York.
@@Rachel-dm6fw this was the watered down version for the U.S, the original Australian video is here th-cam.com/video/jknLRQA8kmw/w-d-xo.html
One of the top sleeper bands from the eighties. Countless number of great songs that no one has ever even heard, unless they made the airwaves. The bass line on this particular song is tremendous. Their songs have real meaning, and a lot of it is happening right before our very eyes in the modern day. These guys were way ahead of their time.
We saw them back in the 90's in Europe & they are still much loved to this day . I was impressed by their live performance - one of the best rock bands ever .
They weren’t a sleeper band in Australia. Had a huge following despite very little commercial television or radio support
Well said
Luckily our NYC based rock station was playing "Sometimes", and they happened to be playing live in Central Park as the gigantic anti nuclear weapons march where people were marching through part of the park. Became a fan, and them 2x's at later shows. Excellent music, shows!
They are only a sleeper here in America. The rest of the world knows them very well.
One of my favourite songs of all time. I'm now 55 from Newcastle, England and it's 2022 and this song still makes me want to cry, so so brilliant ❤❤❤
This song came out almost 3 decades ago, and i still can't get enough of it. it's one of my favorite songs of all time, and not just by the Oils. if a week goes by without me hearing this song, i go into relapse. i think its that good - both the message and the melody. i finally got to see them live in 2017 in Oakland, CA and it was incredible...a bucket list item i thought i'd never be able to cross off.
I had heard Blue Sky Mining and Beds Are Burning and liked those, but when this track dropped in the states I was really hooked. Great band - reminds me of The Tragically Hip from Canada.
I was able to see them 3 times in salt Lake City Utah USA. I was blessed.
Saw the Oils in concert in March 2021, still awesome
Saw them in SF in 88 & Munich in 92 Yee-hawz!
@@brucejenrich834 as an Aussie who grew up on Aussie music I have been extremely fortunate enough to see the Oils live 14 times……and again this year when they tour again for the new album….. 👋
Midnight Oils most 'powerful' song. What an amazing song, and message that intertwines. Rob Hirst is Australia's greatest musician.
My favourite Aussie drummer....talent and raw energy. Live, he is magnificent
More energy than a cyclone.
He's on the same energy level as Art Blakey.
Paul Ryan, Most of the band agree, no Jim, no midnight oil.
and Tommy Emmanuel
0:50 - just amazing combo of base and guitar riffs. One of my favorites for sure!
The last aboriginal lady forced removed from Tasmania never returned to rest
You ain’t kiddin! Great comment.
These guys are the most sincere rockers of multiple generations either side of there own generation with the topics they raise in there music .. they never produced a shallow track or gap filler to finish off an album .. each track has a punch in the face impact written on a foundation of uncomfortable truth and facts .. backed up with a unique sound produced by intelligent musicians.
I just learned about Truganini and had this song in my head. I get it now, Midnight Oil.
awesome hey
This entire album is a masterpiece! One of my top 5 albums of all time for all rock!
Let the Union Jack burn! Let it be, let it be!
Remember travelling down to Birmingham England to see them live in the late 80's and being blown away by their performance so much, that the following day, I travelled down to London to watch them again.
I've been blessed to see a lot of great legendary bands live, but I've never done that before, or in fact, since.
The last aboriginal lady forced removed from Tasmania never returned to rest
O vocal desse cara está cada vez melhor.
Remarkable song - incredible band and one of the most entertaining drummers ever: Rob Hirst.
If you feel the oils songs in the veins. You're bloody patriotic and love Australia!
This tune always delivers...
3.11---3.40 chills up the spine...
Fkn love the Oils
Great part!
Absolutely the best bass riff ever played!
I kept this CD in rotation in my car for a very long time. My favorite Midnight Oil album and one of the best albums of the 90's
Les musiques des Oils sont tellement puissantes!! bourrées de significations 🙏🏾Je suis française et je les adore depuis les années 80/90 . La basse sur ce titre est aussi phénoménale !!!
My favorite Oils song!
Blue collar work it don't get you nowhere
You just go round and round in debt
Somebody's got you on that treadmill, mate
And I hope you're not beaten yet
Vrdd
Perhaps the treadmill operators need to get off there own treadmill.
@@linoservello503It's a metaphor for constantly striving for wealth and a better life (rat race). Like a rat on a spin wheel. Doing the same thing everyday day just to pay off mortgage having no time or money to live, but only surviving.
Uma das melhores bandas de todos os tempos
Those Aussies can ROCK!
I love this band...a very underrated band.
A Austrália tem meu respeito por essa manda 🤩😎🎶🎧 me remete aos anos 90 minha época de surf 🏄 😜👍🏻🇧🇷
This video, I figured out was made for the American audience, when MTV still had music. I later bought a DVD of the Oil's videos and "live" -it's not on there.
I went to Australia in 1986, traveled with my Parents for three weeks, flying between locations - river extrusion into the Outback from Darwin, Wine tours, sheep farm visit, and Tasmania. I got into the Oil's after, buying "10-1" after seeing "the power and the passion" I saw them "live" only once in 1994, here in Ohio, powerful and awesome! I have learned a fair amount of Australian history, and culture, and would hope to return, someday. The references in "Tuganini" to keeping the crown, there was a movement, by vote, in the 90's to not have the British Monarch still "rule/preside" over independent Australia in the 90's -yet the vote of the nation was to keep the Royal link. Around 2000, I was living in Chicago, Grad School. I was waiting for an EL train (elevated/subway -to those who don't know) A man sat down, talking on his cell phone, sounded like he was from Oz. When he was off his phone, I asked If he was from Oz -yeah! I told him that I'd traveled there years back. I asked if they were going to do another vote on the Royals. He said "maybe in a few years" but the old generation still like them. Then, he said "What have the Pommies, done for us, really" -I knew the term, and the question made me think of Monty Python "Life of Brian" with the question of the Roman, and answer of about 16 benefits. I responded, "Well they sent their convicts to start you nation -then, they sent you into some horrible battles like Gallipoli" "Too F**kin' right! You know out history, Mate" - The EL arrived, yet each needed a different train, ended the conversation.
Dedicated fan of the Oil's!
🔊PURA ENERGIA😀!!!!
As bandas antigas não tem comparação com as de hoje.
ISSO É ROCK DE VERDADE!!!!!😎👍.
Mano, esses caras são na mesma pegada do RPM, Plebe Rude. É uma banda 100% ativista e política os caras são fodasticos.
@@moreirasp rpm? menos né.
@@Walneiy, leia as letras, aí você vai ver.
RPM é ativista e foram considerados pelos franceses como uma das maiores bandas a época.
Qual a sua idade?
Bom demais!
Falou tudo meu irmão sem comparação, que nostalgia que honra vivermos essa época ✌️🌅🌊.
Brilliant! Humanitarian. Political protest. Mystical experience. Spirituality. Folk ect all in one. Proud to be a lifelong fan of Midnight Oil 35 Years
They are the bread and butter of this country.
to me they are the Creme .
The current democratic nominee for VP, Tim Kaine, was our mayor, and at that the time he said this band (and the album Blue Sky Mining) was his favorite band.
Creme of the whole World!
dont forget the rum, beer , whatever wine
My God those instrumentals are insane. Truly a one of a kind band Peters dancing never fails to crack me up. Love from perth
0:50 - just amazing combo of base and guitar riffs. One of my favorites for sure!
+Ed Z Indeed!
moi aussi je kiffe ce passage
Ed Z yes these 3 seconds were unique..and the tone will come later in right and left speaker..stereo type
another message from good Australian band..
Ed Z & the best drummer to ever come out of Australia : Rob Hirst ! 😍 🇦🇺 👍🏼
they are gifted in so many ways. rhythmically. melodically, they are really good at 2 + melodies at a time. Their key changes are awesome! And to me, their tempo, key, riffs communicate precisely what is in the lyrics. The harmonica cuts glass. I guess you could say I'm a little blown away by them.
Midnight oil,super banda.!
Fabulosa y fantástica!!!!😍😍😍
VIVA AUSTRALIA!!!!
ME FASCINA ESTA BANDA!!!!😍😍😍😍
VIVA AUSTRALIA
one of those songs where the verse is even better than the chorus just brilliance
One word Legend 🙌👏😌😏👌
Great Peter Garrett, smart guy, I still have chills listening to it today, a pleasure...
Midnight Oil , banda fantástica músicas lindas , Amo !!!!
Oi luna 🎸🎸🎸💃💃❤️
Realmente!!!!... Banda fantástica.
@@josesinesiorodrigues7391 boa noite 👍
🤩🤩 linda
Songs these days have no meaning..no soul..no power..no passion and no reason for people to reflect on injustices that never get spoken about without songs like this to remind people.
Truganini story is very disturbing im glad this band spoke out agaisnt this
30 años llevo escuchando a Midnight Oil y me siguen gustando como el primer dia que los descubri.Viva Australia y vivan los Oil.s
"They'll be plenty of time to live in a van down by the river, when you're living in a van...down by the river!"
They were on the episode with Chris Farleys famous Matt Foley sketch.
I just realized--the guitars do a quick swelled minor chord that cuts off, like the opening of "Roundabout" by Yes. Message: remember what's "Fragile" (the title of the Yes album). Our lives, our environments, our traditional cultures and languages.
Pura nostalgia essa banda. Descia todos os finais de semana para Ubatuba com os amigos para surfar ouvindo esses caras.
Frederico Luis Ferrero from France and Marocco nostalgie
Nossa, bom d+
2 clássicos Ubatuba e M.O.
I love Australia ❤
Meu Deus q clássico, agradeço a meu primo q ouvia muito e eu cresci ouvindo, música de qualidade !!!!!
Excelente!!!!!... Greetings from Brazil!
The most UNDERRATED BAND of the 90s..Saw them on the LETTERMAN SHOW 😂 & at a Concert in PHILLY 😑 Love them..
Prophetic & still Relevant today! Time has come!
Midnight Oil going 40 years +
Está musica estará eternamente no meu set list
Genios, saludos desde Argentina...
Está musica estará eternamente no meu set list
VIVA AUSTRALIA
O vocal desse cara está cada vez melhor.
Viva aborigenals
Assisti ao vivaço em 97 no sesc em porto...frio...lotado.
Viva australia comme midnight oil
I saw MIDNIGHT OIL live only once, on July 11, 1993 at the OUT IN THE GREEN Open Air Festival 1993...unforgettable; this song is for eternity
Another piece of Oils brilliance.
Without oil where would our cars be!
@@jasonbarbush4991 Not that kind of oil, Jason.
If only I'd paid attention to song lyrics when I was young . I just liked the music .
De las mejores bandas en la historia del rock👏👏👏👏 simplemente geniales!!!
This song brings back so many memories life was so different a world of playing outside knowing your niebours leaving the house unlocked and no one would stole anything
RIP Truganini!
It's too easy to forget how brilliant they were. They're touring again and I will be there !!!
100% amo essa musica
The Oils have made a LOT of great music for a "One-Hit Wonder" - and "Earth and Sun and Moon" is the perfect album....not a bad track on it.
Only from an American pop perspective were they a "one-hit wonder." This band spent decades under the American radar putting out meaningful, well-crafted work. What I love most about them: they did it without writing songs about sex, drugs and rock and roll (while rocking out). How refreshing. The only American band I can think of quite like that is Rage Against The Machine.
As an American, I defiantly disagree with you on this perspective. I have MANY friends who love the Oil, and they are beyond excited for this apparent reunion. They created album ART, with a few singles interspersed. BSM is one of the greatest albums ever recorded, period.
Rage - Sell outs. The Oil never gave in, not ever. Morello is a tool. Not one Oil gave in.
Im an American and have been a fan since Diesel and Dust and love their entire catalog, have seen them play every tour since 93 and am also in this video!!!
BelowAbsoluteZero question is. What was their one hit?? Lol
I’ve heard more than a few MO songs on the radio back in the days. These guys aren’t one hit wonders. For damn sure
Chega a arrepiar. Tamanha é a entrega da banda parabéns
Verdade!!!!!!... E, para mim, esta música tem cheiro, cor e sabor de pré-adolescência. Eu era apenas um pré-adolescente e morava no sítio quando me apaixonei pela banda, por conta desta música. Eu e meu irmão éramos os únicos que morávamos no sítio e ouvíamos Rock e Heavy Metal ao invés de "sertanojo".
Remember when this was our skyline?
I have always loved this band and their music.
It's always a gutpunch to see the twin towers in the background. Of course there was more damage done by the US reaction afterwards than by 911 itself. :(
Maybe it's because "Earth and sun and moon" was the first album of the band that I bought on a CD version (previous ones were on audio tapes), I've listened to it so many times I can't count. And every track on it is engraved in my memory, maybe because I was coming back from a year in Asia when this album was released here. And "Truganini" is one of the great protest song ever made.
amazingly i was listening to this on my tape player while resting on my grandparents' sofa sleeping and actually had a dream but i can't remember what it was about.
Best of Aussie Rock tunes
I do not understand you
Type in joe dolce into TH-cam. Don't be fooled by the Greek accent
hands down
3:53 "Let it burn!"..chills man.
O vocal desse cara está cada vez melhor.
It's too easy to forget how brilliant they were. They're touring again and I will be there !!!
0:50 - just amazing combo of base and guitar riffs. One of my favorites for sure!
O vocal desse cara está cada vez melhor.
Several years ago I heard this song in the car, I have been heard it so many times before, but this day suddenly something turned me on! I have spent so many time until I found this track and several years later I found the name of it. I knew that the name of the band is "Midnight Oil", but I didn't know that the song's name is not "I see" but "Truganini". And I love it!!!
Impossível de ouvir essa relíquia e ficar parado! Salve Midnight Oil
I remember seeing them in Utrecht in 1993... They were great! I love this band!
RIP Truganini and Bones Hillman.
Brilliant. Shared with the only aboriginal I know in the US.
one of those songs where the verse is even better than the chorus just brilliance
Ouço essa musica ha mais ou menos 20 anos e nunca vou parar de ouvir
Assisti ao vivaço No Sesc Porto Alegre 97
Un super groupe.
Vi os Oils ao vivo em São Paulo, 2017. Um dos melhores show da minha vida!
A voice for those who don’t have one.
Right behind you, Peter & Midnight Oil. We haven't gone away away either. Maybe someday this silent majority (unseen) will put you back in the driver's seat. Because I'd back passion everyday!.
Listening to this song for the first time in at least a decade. Goddamn, I forgot how powerful it is, especially that absolute monster groove. Got it on loop now.
Wow…what a catchy tune, the harmonica sound so good, the guitars licks , the drum beat, are amazingly good to listen to, the whole song is so wow,…so soothing to listen to…
Notice how this admiring crowd naturally react to the tones of the OIL! Perfect!
VIVA AUSTRALIA
0:50 - just amazing combo of base and guitar riffs. One of my favorites for sure!
one of the great guitar bands
O vocal desse cara está cada vez melhor.
Truganini,what a cool song, it's about FREEDOM,from opresion.
one of the great guitar bands
Yep dueling guitar's 😮.
Cette chanson parle de Truganini, la dernière femme tasmanienne. Après un génocide de la population de l'île de Tasmanie causé par une colonie anglaise au 19e siècle. Truganini, dernière survivante du peuple tasmanien, fut emmenée dans la ville de Hobart. À sa mort, son corps fut exposé au Tasmanian Museum comme pièce de collection. En 1976, malgré les objections de ce musée, son corps fut incinéré. Cette chanson est un hommage à cette femme qui représentait le dernier souvenir de la civilisation indigène de Tasmanie. Une civilisation qui n'a laissé aucune trace.
I miss that skyline.
the most underrated rock band. they are the best.
I agree, these pieces are Classics!
