    I'm a grown arse man too and have seen this version dozen of times and it hits me just as hard every single time.
    Just another reason why this song holds such a special place in the Australian Psyche.
    Happy Gravy Day.

    A second sentimental Christmas song by an Australian that organically pairs with How to Make Gravy is "White Wine in the Sun" by Tim Minchin.

    I’ve always loved this song - I’m American but I’ve been married to an Aussie for years. After COVID it hit me so much harder, and every time.

    Now you need to finish the Aussie Christmas double and watch Tim Minchin - 'White wine in the Sun' .
    Bring on Paul Kelly MONTH - a couple of selections - 'Everything is turning to White' , 'Every F#*king City' , 'Midnight Rain' , 'Our Sunshine' , 'Randwick Bells' , 'Looks so fine', and about a hundred others.

    Paul Kelly has an amazing gift for getting to the absolute essence of what it is to be Australian and live in Australia...the good and the bad.. and without having to resort to stupid cliches. This song always hits me in the chest and this version doubly so. And, being a proud Melburnian, when I'm away Leaps and Bounds gets me a little choked up!

    Oh guys.....watching this clip again, brought so much emotions up for me because I'm in Melbourne, where we had the most amount of lockdowns in the whole of Oz, for the least amount of cases!! (Don't get me started on the Dictator Premier of our state, Victoria, at the time!).....So this clip is bittersweet. I love this song, but this particular clip does evoke strong emotions of those total unnecessary lockdowns. Thankyou for your true, heartfelt, reaction. And, yes....family is important. Cheers.

  • @TheSavvyShopaholic
    @TheSavvyShopaholic 8 หลายเดือนก่อน +8

    I loved this so much. ok, i cried all the way through it. I know it so well. This is the best version. We were in such severe lockdown during COVID. Here in Melbourne we couldnt travel more than5 kilometres from home and could only be out 2 hours a day. It saved lives but it was tough being so far away from the world and missing our families. This song, at that time, with this sentimentality .. superb! If you guys didn't get emotional at this one, you would be robots. I loved that it hit you and you cried along with us. It is sad, beautiful and quintessentially Aussie! Happy Gravy Day!!!

    Ty Guys I knew when you saw this amazing re release you would feel exactly the same I did when I first saw it.
    It touches our souls so deeply as we all missed someone those horrible years we endured worldwide we all became Joe locked away.
    Paul 's genius is endless but I doubt even he could have seen how this song fitted so well with what happened.
    It is now Gravy Day here in OZ and it will be a great Christmas this year as most can be with who they love and see those they miss and remember how tough we did it but we did it together here I am so proud to be aussie.
    TY again guys for showing us so much love I send it back to you both.
    Enjoy your Christmas and may 2024 be an awesome year as well keep the music coming both of you, I am so happy to be a subscriber.

    Yes always weep at this version. Lockdowns weren’t that bad for me because all my family live in Adelaide but I saw a lot of my friends going through hell missing their family in other states and countries. But the worst thing for me was my dad died in June 2020 (not from covid) and we could only have 30 people at the funeral. All my friends wanted to be there to support me but with family and friends of my dad I could only have 2.

    Lots of places did it tough, but Melbourne had endured an almost 4 month lockdown for 2020 and then a few in 2021 including a 2.5 month one. People were pretty punch drunk from all that.
    Same as all over there was a worry at Christmas that even if you could visit family you might unwittingly make a beloved family member ill, so even if it was legal to visit there were those who didn’t and then the politics of pro and anti-vaccs added extra hurdles.
    This video is poignant for showing the end result of that , and it does a great job.

    Thank you. We lost our dad during COVID. He was supposed to have a big funeral and people from far and wide would have made the effort to see him off. Instead, we had a graveside burial (not normally a thing in Australia) and 10 of us - including myself and my sister. We couldn't even hug our cousins or shake the hand of the celebrant. We couldn't even offer a cup of tea - no wake. And then we had planned to hold a memorial a year later, but restrictions were in place. So this one really got to me. It's such a beautiful song and the film clip is really moving. Thanks guys! Ps. Yay for a Paul Kelly week!

    We couldn’t be with my dad in hospital for his final weeks, and we held his funeral outside around the grave.
    A few short weeks later, I missed the birth of my long years awaited grandchild. I couldn’t be there with my daughter, and I couldn’t meet the baby until she was a month old. This brings that time back so forcefully.
    But I know many, many people went through so very much more, and I empathise with their pain and admire their courage and resilience.

    G'day mates, I was wiping my eyes by time the empty chair George referenced, you lasted longer than me and I watched this many times. Thanks again. Alex, please let us know how your gravy turns out if you try the recipe in the song. George as well, if you give it a crack. Love from Australia for the festive season gents

    Wow, this had tears running down my cheeks, it bought back memories of covid, I live alone in Melbourne and we were locked down for 262 days, longest in the world. It was so devastatingly lonely as Melbourne had a 5km travel curfew and I lived 20 km from anyone I knew. Hard times.
