I'm and Old bugga and as far as cutting edge from today, I couldn't really say, other than maybe Matt Corby and Guy Sebastian maybe, whom are amazing vocalists, but in regard to your week of Aussie music, you pair of Poms have opened the biggest can of worms for yourselves now. You've only just scratched the top of the Aussie music scene from way back when. There are so many Aussie artists that were, and are, bloody brilliant from the 60's, 70's and especially the 80's that you'll be able to delve into for the next 6 months or more and still not get through everything. We got most of the music that was produced from over there in the UK and the from the States, here in Aus, but our scene was second to none as far as we were concerned, and you'll soon see why. My six tracks, only cause you asked for 5, which is pretty bloody hard to do because I could give you 500 are: Holy Grail - Hunters and Collectors (May Favourite Band of all with a lot of great songs) (Sounds of Then) This is Australia - Gangajang Great Southern Land - Icehouse Under the Milky Way - The Church What's my Scene - Hoodoo Gurus Solid Rock - Goanna Fellas, I hope your realise that this is just the start in that there's so many more , but to be honest, you won't regret it as you will have one hell of a massive new play list. Enjoy
I've really enjoyed aussie week with you guys! My personal favourite Paul Kelly song is dumb things. if you do end up doing another aussie week I'd definitely recommend checking out some Powderfinger. Their final ever performance of These days in their home town of Brisbane is especially wonderful.
5 tracks to typify Australia.. 🇦🇺Solid Rock by Goanna. 🇦🇺Great Southern Land by Icehouse. 🇦🇺Sounds of Then(This is Australia) by Gangajang. 🇦🇺Beds are Burning by Midnight Oil. 🇦🇺Best years of our Lives by Richard Clapton (our other 'Bob Dylan) That's my 2cents😁✌️🇦🇺♥️
The best Paul Kelly song (imo) is 'To Her Door'. He is fantastic live. Great week guys, and you should definitely react to a John Farnham song....he has a truly fantastic voice, powerful as fuck.
Thousand Miles Away - Hoodoo gurus, Let me down easy - Gang of Youths, Under the Milky Way - The Church, Better in Blak - Thelma Plum, My happiness - Powderfinger
I love Careless by Mr Kelly, beautiful songwriting. He is such a wordsmith, his very first purchase with his own coin (according to him in interview) is the complete works of Shakespeare. Current music, check out the Teskey Brothers.
1. Throw your arms around me Hunters and Collectors 2. Touch of Paradise ( Hey Hey it’s Saturday live version) John Farnham 3. One Country Midnight Oil 4. Took the children away Archie Roach 5. Careless Paul Kelly
5 Aussie classics: 1. Powderfinger (ANY!)- Waiting for the Sun 2. Screaming Jets- Better 3. Battle scars- Guy Sebastian (My daughter's fave) 4. Empire of the sun- Walking on a dream 5. Throw your arms around me- Hunters and collectors
As requested my five tracks are:- 1) John Farnham HELP live with the Melbourne symphony Orchestra 2) Jimmy Barnes and John Farnham When Something is Wrong with my Baby 3) Matt Corby Brother- acoustic version for Like a Version 4) Guy Sebastian Battle Scars- acoustic home studio ANZAC day performance 5) Delta Goodrum’s cover of I Come from the Land Down Under
On a crowded beach in a distant time At the height of summer, see a boy of five At the water's edge, so nimble and free Jumping over the ripples, looking way out to sea Now a man comes up from amongst the throng Takes the young boy's hand and his hand is strong And the child feels safe, yeah, the child feels brave As he's carried in those arms up and over the waves [Chorus] Deeper water Deeper water Deeper water Is calling him on [Verse 2] Let's move forward now and the child's seventeen With a girl in the back seat, tugging at his jeans And she knows what she wants, she guides with her hand As a voice cries inside him, "I'm a man, I'm a man!" [Chorus] Deeper water Deeper water Deeper water Is calling him on [Verse 3] Now the man meets a woman unlike all the rest Well, he doesn't know it yet, but he's out of his depth And he thinks he can run, it's a matter of pride But he keeps coming back like a cork on the tide [Break] Deeper water Deeper water [Verse 4] Well, the years hurry by and the woman loves the man Then one night in the dark she grabs hold of his hand Says, "There, can you feel it kicking inside?" And the man gets a shiver right up and down his spine [Chorus] Deeper water (Deeper water) Deeper water (Deeper water) Deeper water (Deeper water) Is calling him on [Verse 5] Yeah, the clock moves around and the child is a joy But death doesn't care just who it destroys Now the woman gets sick, thins down to the bone She says, "Where I'm going next, I'm going alone" [Break] Deeper water Deeper water [Verse 6] (Deeper water) On a distant beach, lonely and wild (Deeper water) At a later time, see a man and a child (Deeper water) And the man takes the child up into his arms (Deeper water) Takes her over the breakers To where the water is calm [Chorus] Deeper water (Deeper water) Deeper water (Deeper water) Deeper water (Deeper water) Deeper water (Deeper water)
I'm a Brit but spend years in Aus and fell in Love with Paul Kelly's music (and loads of Other Aussie stuff), but Paul Kelly tops the list for lyrics, emotion, story telling, musicality. Saw him Live at Byron Blues fest and he did not disappoint. LOVED your reaction to this song gents, and totally agree, it's just spot on. Check out 'Everything's turning to white', 'dumb things', 'love never runs on time' and as it's Christmas.. 'how to make gravy'...
Wow, great choice. Didn't expect this as the last song of Aussie week, but a brilliant artist. I think you should do an Aussie song at least once a week, there is so much great music you will love
Paul Kelly has been releasing absolute killer albums & singles since the 70s. One of Australia's hidden gems that should be worshipped worldwide! 💯🔥🇦🇺 Edit: the best band right now, that happens to be Aussie is 'King Gizzard and the Lizard Wizard'. They've been around for about a decade, and have already released 20 studio albums! You won't be disappointed.🔥🇦🇺
Love your reactions, love Paul Kelly and Cold Chisel, but I'm gonna say the Go-Betweens are one of Australia's greatest songwriting bands and know you would love them.
Paul Kelly is great. The back-up singer was Linda Bull, she is part of a sister duo with Vika and funnily enough the band is called Vika and Linda. They were both back-up singers in the band "The Black Sorrows" which are a fantastic band.
This song is one of my favs. Resonates mightily as my sons mum passed away when he was three. Love the message of travelling through the breakers and life’s troubles into the deeper calm waters. From little things big things grow is a good one.
5 tracks. The loved one by The Loved ones. Axiom, Little ray of sunshine. Russell Morris, the real thing. The Easybeats, Friday on my mind and lastly Doug Parkinson, Dear Prudence. Now all these bands and tracks are either from the 60's or early 70's but they were the foundation of Australian rock.
Paul Kelly has a fantastic back catalogue that is well worth dipping into. Songs like 'Dumb Things', 'To Her Door', 'Darling it Hurts', 'Leaps & Bounds'. The list goes on. Oh and one has now become such a cultural icon that it has a day named after it - the 21st of December is now known here in Oz as 'How to Make Gravy' Day.
Great reactions guys to our Aussie music. As requested, my top 5 are: -Evie Pts1,2,&3 ( must do all 3 as they tell a story)- Stevie Wright -Man Overboard-Do Re Mi (Deborah Conway) -Boy & Bear-Southern Son -Divinyls-Boys In Town -Russell Morris-The Real Thing
Finally going through this in order as I figured out how to find that. I am sooo TH-cam smart. This guy is amazing and alongside Cold Chisel the 2 bands I need a deeper dive on.
5 quintessential Australian rock tracks that you may not know: 1. Gangajang - sounds of then 2. Yothu Yindi - Treaty 3. Powderfinger - My kind of scene. 4. Australian Crawl - Boys Light Up 5. Icehouse - We can get together. Such a deep vain to choose from. Not the best but notable. Thanks for the great and knowledgeable critiques.
So sad Aussie week is over ....Paul Kelly is the best story teller singer. Some very deep lyrics when you delve into them. My favs are Her Door or Dumb things. My recommendations for other great Aussie Artists. 1. John Farnham and Jimmy Barnes. Something is Wrong with my baby? This is a double whammy you will get 2 Aussie Legends in one.... pick a live version to get the best experience... the one from Hey hey is saturday is great. 2. Something a bit country Lee Kernaghan- Boys from the Bush or anything from Wolf Brothers 3. Guy Sebastian, Battle Scars live from home studio. 4. Matt Corby. Brother 5. Tina Arena I'm in Chains Anything fromTesky Bros. Id like to put John Farnham and Jimmy Barnes on the list twice ....but once you hear them togther you'll want to make new list just for their stuff. I have subscribed in anticipation lol
Thanks for the support. Hopefully you saw a reaction to the John Farnham and Jimmy Barnes track. We are working on a second Aussie week soon. Stick around!
if you want another amazing Oz singer/songwriter from about a decade before Paul Kelly - and still touring - take a look ar Richard Clapton .....try "Deep Water" (close title to this track lol) or "Best Years of Our Lives", "Capricorn Dancer" "Goodbye Tiger", "Down in the Lucky Country" or his most well known track "Girls on the Avenue".... an Aussie icon
Oh, Oh. Please. To Her Door. I have already searched your content item by item looking for it and its missing. Paul kelly to her door! Awesome song and a real Aussie anthem.
Five tracks Marseilles - The Angels live Flame Trees - Cold Chisel Tip of My Tongue - Diesel To Her Door - Paul Kelly Dead Heart - Midnight Oil One Word - Baby Animals More than n five I know. I could give you heaps more.
Thank you, I enjoyed watching Aussie week. There are so many great songs there could easily be an Aussie month. Here are five more songs. AC/DC - It’s A Long Way To The Top (If You Wanna Rock ‘N’ Roll) (1975) John Farnham - Help! (1980) Divinyls - Boys In Town (1981) The Church - Under The Milky Way (1988) Yothu Yindi - Treaty (1991) For a current Aussie artist my pick is Didirri for his soulful indie folk-rock.
He's a prolific writer across the full spectrum of music - from folk, country, bluegrass, blues, rock, film soundtracks et al - turning suburban scenes into glorious anthems. By the way, Alex. it's an ES 335, not a 355. The 355 and 345 have the tone selector switch ( as on BB's Lucille) below the bridge pickup.
Divinyls - Else... uncensored one Hunters and Collectors - Say Goodbye Hoodoo Gurus - Lalanie The Loved Ones.. The Loved One John J Francis.. "Simple Ben" from the "The Morning of the Earth"
Songs for a follow up Australian week would be for me: The Easybeats - Friday on my Mind The Saints - Know Your Product Powderfinger- The Metre Silver Chair - Straight Lines The Drones - Shark Fin Blues
Paul is a legend. Linda Bull backing, no Vika on that performance. He has a tonne of songs and he writes a lot for others. He has done an album with Neil Finn where they performed each others songs and on some dueted. Another album of all Paul Kelly songs were covered by women 'Women at the well'.
Paul Kelly is a certified National Treasure and just gets better with age! There are songs by him which have embedded themselves in the Australian consciousness - To Her Door, How to Make Gravy, and especially From Little Things Big Things Grow (co-written with Kev Carmody, about a history making fight for Aboriginal land rights - an absolute must).
Fav Australian song ever: Mark Seymour: Last ditch cabaret. Notable mention of nearer times: Tame Impala: Let it happen. Other mentions: Chalice: The Calm that was the storm (Closest you'll get to Nightwish or Epica from here) and finally: Spiderbait: Buy me a pony
Five tracks? Hard. Cattle and Cain - Go Betweens. Wide Open Road - The Triffids. Wild Roses - Nick Cave. Loved One - The Loved ones. Flame Trees - Cold Chisel. A million more.
Paul’s in his late 60’s now. Has been going since the ‘70’s … a national living treasure ❤️❤️ I would say he is the Australian version of Dylan and Leonard Cohen.
I heard Paul Kelly’s “Darlin it Hurts” today. A great example of Paul Kelly rocking. Otherwise, “From Little Things Big Things Grow” is a great story song.
Amazing how every culture has their troubadour. listening to this week it is amazing how different the music is you can see how it is the same with just enough individuality to make it different. It's been amazing! looking forward to see how the other countries follow suite.
Only recently found your channel, and I'm still exploring. Not sure if you have done any Crowded House yet, but Paul Kelly did a concert with Neil Finn from Crowded House, taking turns singing their greatest hits!! I would highly recommend checking out this concert, it was absolutely phenomenal. Might be too long to do a complete reaction video to, but just sit and watch it without reacting, just treat yourself!! Only found you a few days back, but love your vids so far, keep 'em coming!! 😀
Paul Kelly is if the best one of the best singer song writers of all time. He's up there with Dylan, Simon & Garfunkel, Neil Diamond, Springsteen and so on. Love PK's music, FYI the backing singer is he mentioned is Linda Bull (search " Vika & LInda" )
i'm late to this show and love it - love watching you two and how you seem to like Aussie Music - You brought me the Saints which i have just gone mad with. Paul Kelly - how to make gravy, from St Kilda to Kings Cross, Meet me in the middle of the Air, Leaps and bounds and Dumb things
I love this Aussie Week you are doing. I worked as a roadie/lighting guy/bouncer in the 80's-90's and actually setup for both Paul Kelly and Jimmy Barnes a couple of times. I also have seen all your Aussie week ones live except Daddy Cool but I think Mum saw them.
How to Make Gravy is peak Paul Kelly. You will see the story telling parallels with Dylan for sure. About a bloke in prison missing the family Christmas dinner and you feel all of it. And yes, it definitely counts as a Christmas song!
Interesting comments re country music and folk. I used to listen to bush bands that played Australian country songs from way back and that included sea shanties and songs about bushrangers.
Seeing Paul Kelly in concert in a couple of weeks. Can't wait for Mundi Mundi Bash. 3 days of Aussie music. worth driving for 2 days, staying in the outback with no water and power....... Bliss So many Aussie bands for you to explore
Yes BPM, best band since the Beatles! I feel sorry for non-Australians who don’t know about them 😭 ‘It’s nice to be alive’ or ‘surrender’ or ‘IFLY’ or ‘fence sitter’ from their back catalogue or ‘cherub’ or ‘stars in my eyes’ more recently ❤️❤️❤️
As an Australian guy who lived the stuff you've played from the golden 70's and 80's period I have to admit to not really being across Aussie bands anymore. That said, the artist that has cut through to me is Courtney Barnett. Wonderful writing, distinctly individual and Australian. Edgy and current but with so many echoes that will resonate with music you have loved in the past.
My Top 5 straya tracks....MENTAL AS ANYTHING...IF YOU LEAVE ME CAN I COME TOO..THE SAINTS ..STRANDED..THE ANGELS SHADOW BOXER..SPIDERBAIT ..BLACK BETTY...DIVINYALS ..BOYS IN TOWN..MOST ARE BANGERS..CHEERS FROM DOWNUNDER
@@TheThamesmen This is only the 2nd reaction channel I've subscribed to. The last one had about 12k subscribers when I joined. They're at 150k now. And yes, I like Aussie music, but there's this one band, from some make-believe country called New Zealand... Split Enz... Search "Six months in a leaky boat live 06".... I'm not kidding here when saying that this band (bloody Kiwis) may actually be the only band on the planet who were better than The Beatles... Yeah, I said it (and it hurt me to say it).
@@TheThamesmen Thanks. But don't go too far down the Split Enz rabbit hole. You may end up at the 1996 Crowded House concert on the steps on the Sydney Opera house (I was in the crowd). A 15 hour concert that finished at 1am the next day, and, as it was free, no one ever counted the crowd size. Counting started at 120,000....
Some of this band was from the TV show Rockwiz, now defunct. The show was a rock quiz show with guest artists who were given songs outside of their normal repetoire to perform. Most of these shows are on YT. Check out Tim Rogers and Vika Bull singing Gimme Shelter, the Rockwiz Band with The Weight, Colleen Hewitt Superstar, Connie Mitchell What A Feeling.
Paul Kelly is wonderful! Personal faves are Dumb Things and Firewood & Candles . Loving your reactions and conversations after the songs have been listened to - keep it up!!
Listen to all of the Paul Kelly. Far and away the best songwriter in Australia, at any point of his now long career. I once saw him at The Baxter Tavern here in Victoria, where he put in a 2.5hour show in the early 90's. The band took NO breaks. Paul took a one song break, and his lead guitar lead the band for the old George Jones song "White Lightnin'". That was the late great Steve Connelly, the soloist for Leaps and Bounds and so many of the Coloured Girls' best songs. Some interesting facts...To Her Door, Love Never Runs On Time, and How To Make Gravy are a trilogy it took a long time to get. About 20 years. They are apparently about the same bloke. My boss went to school with Steve Connelly, and his sister was his girlfriend for a while. My bos's, not Steve's. Our old drummer toured with Spencer P Jones, the lapsteel player on "Gravy". The drummer in this clip is a fucking legend. Peter Luscombe. You guys should look up Joe Camilleri and the Black Sorrows. Also The Rockwiz Orchestra, and look at the faces. And The Models. You'll see so many familiar faces, because they are all Australian Music Royalty.
No1. Back up singer was Linda Bull. She and her sister Linda are brilliant together as artists. No.2, Kelly's "How to make Gravy" is an odd one but brilliant. A song written for a charity Christmas album, has no chorus and is just more of his talent.
How to Make Gravy is the quintessential Aussie Xmas song (well, there's Six White Boomers but ....) but Paul Kelly has one for every occasion. He is the sound of Australia for my money. Fabulous storyteller and I love his voice, not traditional but laconic, like Australia.
I just can't think of a Bob Dylan for USA.. Paul Kelly is Soo good, so many great songs, To Her Door, How to Make Gravy, Leaps and Bounds..the list goes on! Great list Chris, well done! From what you were saying towards the end, sadly in more recent times we are losing the uniqueness since with the interwebs we are not as isolated as we once were. The 70s and 80s were an amazing time for Aussie music. Another Aussie list..hmm: The Cat Empire - Sly The Church - Under the Milky Way TISM - Whatareya Dr.G(Gurrumul) - Wiyathul Split Enz - I See Red (0k they NZ but we will claim them!) Midnight Oil - Blue Sky Mine
My 5: Jimmy Barnes and John Farnham “when something is wrong with my baby” (showing the yanks how soul should sound) John Farnham “help” live with the Melbourne Symphony Orchestra (rude to call this a cover of the Beatles song, it’s an improvement) The new Qantas advert that just came out “I still call Australia home” (they’ve done a few adverts set to this song, the children’s choir from the 90’s is possibly even better) Yothu Yindi “Treaty” (a brilliant bit of Indigenous rock with a worthy meaning) Hunters and Collectors “Holy Grail” live at the AFL grand final 2013 (every Aussie sings every word when this plays in a pub)
Don’t know any 2022 bands. Airport piano by Tim Minchin is cool. I like Luke o Shea from Australian country scene....he has some funny ones (with medicine wheel) but also some serious ballads. some skyhooks would be cool.
My top "5" (well, who can really stick to a top 5?): It's because I love you, Master's Apprentices; From little things big things grow, Paul Kelly; When the war is over, Cold Chisel; Black and Blue, Chain; Let there be rock, ACDC; Street Cafe, Icehouse; I hear motion; Models; Love in Motion, Icehouse featuring Chrissy Amphlett; Hey Little Girl, The Divinyls; Purple Sneakers, You am I; Better get a lawyer, The Cruel Sea; Little Ray of Sunshine, Axiom; The one thing, INXS; We are the people, Empire of the Sun; Wedding Ring, Easybeats; Harley and Rose, the Black Sorrows. I need to stop now. But, it you only listen to one more Australian song, make it 'It's because I love you'. It's a classic that was beyond it's time.
Paul Kelly….where to start. Everything’s Turning to White Love Never Runs on Time Anastasia Before Too Long From St Kilda to Kings Cross You could listen for weeks and still find bits of genius that you’d missed
I'd go for Making Gravy there but..... My top 5- quintessentially Australian....? Wide Open Road- The Triffids Treaty- Yothu Yindi London Still- The Waifs Sounds of Then [This Is Australia]- GANGgajang Great Southern Land- Icehouse Special Mention: The Real Thing- Russell Morris [produced by Molly Meldrum in 1969] tyvm
An Aussie here, just discovered you guys. Nice that you’re delving into the occasional Aussie music week. If I may offer my five day suggestion (I’m guessing you’ve already been given a heap to try, but more can’t hurt): 1: Always Another by Matt Finish, either studio version or the live one they recorded for a show called Sounds or Sounds Unlimited 2: Cold Chisel’s cover of Wild Thing from their Last Stand concerts when they broke up back in the mid 80s 3: I Am An Island by Richard Clapton, studio version 4: Boys In Town by Divinyls, studio version 5: Stand In Line by Midnight Oil, live version from the 2JJJ concert on Goat Island in Sydney Harbour There’s a heap of great talent and energy in that lot. Cheers to you guys!
Thanks for the support and suggestions. We are absolutely compiling a list for the next Aussie week. Number five in your list we have covered already and it is amazing
@@TheThamesmen Yes. I just watched it and a number of Rush reactions plus SRV Texas Flood. I’ve reeeeeally got to go to bed now, but there’s more of your reactions I’ve got lined up in my Watch Later list for tomorrow. I know you probably won’t really get to the songs I’ve listed, but since you already heard Stand In Line I’m going to suggest another as a replacement: 5: The Unguarded Moment by The Church, studio version Anyhow, great stuff, really enjoying your channel. The Rush Xanadu reaction was very intuitive and intelligent and musically savvy. Nice one!!
@@sean---the-other-one Go to bed! We really appreciate the support and suggestions and we try to cover as many as possible so who knows what will come up. The thing we lack is enough time to do everything we want to do!
'How to make gravy' is my fav. Its an Australian Christmas song.
This is what I wanted to say too. Also the one about land rights, name escapes me right now.
From Little Things Big Things Grow?
How to Make Gravy, From Little Things...both fantastic.
This song and Tim Minchin’s “white wine in the sun” are my favourite Australian Christmas songs
Many thanks for being here and more super soon!
Paul Kelly.. To her door, making gravy
Many thanks for being here and more super soon!

Holy Grail - Hunters and Collectors (May Favourite Band of all with a lot of great songs)
(Sounds of Then) This is Australia - Gangajang
Great Southern Land - Icehouse
Under the Milky Way - The Church
What's my Scene - Hoodoo Gurus
Solid Rock - Goanna
Fellas, I hope your realise that this is just the start in that there's so many more , but to be honest, you won't regret it as you will have one hell of a massive new play list.
Enjoy
Oh great list Tal!
Yes Matt Corby, Guy Sebastian! Icehouse!
Many thanks for being here and more super soon!
For a modern band, check out - The Teskey Brothers - Hold Me (Live At The Forum)
This is not Paul's most famous song, but as a father it hit me deeply. The idea of the life going full circle is a so poetic and thoughtful.
Cool. Thanks for being here and leaving the comment. More soon.
I've really enjoyed aussie week with you guys!
My personal favourite Paul Kelly song is dumb things.
if you do end up doing another aussie week I'd definitely recommend checking out some Powderfinger. Their final ever performance of These days in their home town of Brisbane is especially wonderful.
Many thanks for being here and more super soon!
@@TheThamesmen you guys would LOVE the song Dumb Things .
I agree with another comment. 'To Her Door's is a great Paul Kelly track..full of Australian references.
OK hope to hear it soon thank you
@@TheThamesmen The official video of To Her Door is well worth looking at
@@JohnWalker-vs5rz You could do a week of Paul Kelly easily. My favourite is Leaps and Bounds filmed on the silo.
To her door along with dumb things. My absolute favorites. Seems to bookend my life.
@@TheThamesmen More Paul Kelly and Divinyls please. thanks

Great list!
Great list 👍🔥
Matt Corby's Brother is outstanding
On a crowded beach in a distant time
At the height of summer, see a boy of five
At the water's edge, so nimble and free
Jumping over the ripples, looking way out to sea
Now a man comes up from amongst the throng
Takes the young boy's hand and his hand is strong
And the child feels safe, yeah, the child feels brave
As he's carried in those arms up and over the waves
[Chorus]
Deeper water
Deeper water
Deeper water
Is calling him on
[Verse 2]
Let's move forward now and the child's seventeen
With a girl in the back seat, tugging at his jeans
And she knows what she wants, she guides with her hand
As a voice cries inside him, "I'm a man, I'm a man!"
[Chorus]
Deeper water
Deeper water
Deeper water
Is calling him on
[Verse 3]
Now the man meets a woman unlike all the rest
Well, he doesn't know it yet, but he's out of his depth
And he thinks he can run, it's a matter of pride
But he keeps coming back like a cork on the tide
[Break]
Deeper water
Deeper water
[Verse 4]
Well, the years hurry by and the woman loves the man
Then one night in the dark she grabs hold of his hand
Says, "There, can you feel it kicking inside?"
And the man gets a shiver right up and down his spine
[Chorus]
Deeper water (Deeper water)
Deeper water (Deeper water)
Deeper water (Deeper water)
Is calling him on
[Verse 5]
Yeah, the clock moves around and the child is a joy
But death doesn't care just who it destroys
Now the woman gets sick, thins down to the bone
She says, "Where I'm going next, I'm going alone"
[Break]
Deeper water
Deeper water
[Verse 6]
(Deeper water) On a distant beach, lonely and wild
(Deeper water) At a later time, see a man and a child
(Deeper water) And the man takes the child up into his arms
(Deeper water) Takes her over the breakers
To where the water is calm
[Chorus]
Deeper water (Deeper water)
Deeper water (Deeper water)
Deeper water (Deeper water)
Deeper water (Deeper water)
Just the best lyrics, hey?
Where I'm going next, I'm going alone.
Breaks my heart.
Simply lyrical perfection. The story of life. An amazing beautiful song.
I'm a Brit but spend years in Aus and fell in Love with Paul Kelly's music (and loads of Other Aussie stuff), but Paul Kelly tops the list for lyrics, emotion, story telling, musicality. Saw him Live at Byron Blues fest and he did not disappoint. LOVED your reaction to this song gents, and totally agree, it's just spot on. Check out 'Everything's turning to white', 'dumb things', 'love never runs on time' and as it's Christmas.. 'how to make gravy'...
Wow, great choice. Didn't expect this as the last song of Aussie week, but a brilliant artist. I think you should do an Aussie song at least once a week, there is so much great music you will love
we need more time Jon and no jobs or kids
Paul Kelly has been releasing absolute killer albums & singles since the 70s. One of Australia's hidden gems that should be worshipped worldwide! 💯🔥🇦🇺
Edit: the best band right now, that happens to be Aussie is 'King Gizzard and the Lizard Wizard'. They've been around for about a decade, and have already released 20 studio albums!
You won't be disappointed.🔥🇦🇺
Love your reactions, love Paul Kelly and Cold Chisel, but I'm gonna say the Go-Betweens are one of Australia's greatest songwriting bands and know you would love them.
Thanks for the message and take care. Cheers G&A
Great reaction guys. Paul Kelly never disappoints. I also recommend you check out John Butler playing Zebra, Betterman and Ocean, just awesome
Thanks for the message. Cheers for being here and have a fab weekend G&A ✌️
Paul Kelly is great. The back-up singer was Linda Bull, she is part of a sister duo with Vika and funnily enough the band is called Vika and Linda. They were both back-up singers in the band "The Black Sorrows" which are a fantastic band.
Worth looking into Matt Corby for a recent 2022 singer, not mainstream but well known as a unique singer/ songwriter.
Many thanks for being here and more super soon!
Matt Corby is amazing
Thank you Thamesmen & Chris. It has been a great week as a jumping off point ( i will be digging deeper ).
Many thanks for being here and more super soon!
This song is one of my favs. Resonates mightily as my sons mum passed away when he was three.
Love the message of travelling through the breakers and life’s troubles into the deeper calm waters.
From little things big things grow is a good one.
Thank you for your thoughtful and lovely comment. It was a truly great song
5 tracks. The loved one by The Loved ones. Axiom, Little ray of sunshine. Russell Morris, the real thing. The Easybeats, Friday on my mind and lastly Doug Parkinson, Dear Prudence. Now all these bands and tracks are either from the 60's or early 70's but they were the foundation of Australian rock.
Many thanks for being here and more super soon!
Paul Kelly...Leaps and Bounds
Many thanks for being here and more super soon!
Paul Kelly has a fantastic back catalogue that is well worth dipping into. Songs like 'Dumb Things', 'To Her Door', 'Darling it Hurts', 'Leaps & Bounds'. The list goes on. Oh and one has now become such a cultural icon that it has a day named after it - the 21st of December is now known here in Oz as 'How to Make Gravy' Day.
Great reactions guys to our Aussie music. As requested, my top 5 are:
-Evie Pts1,2,&3 ( must do all 3 as they tell a story)- Stevie Wright
-Man Overboard-Do Re Mi (Deborah Conway)
-Boy & Bear-Southern Son
-Divinyls-Boys In Town
-Russell Morris-The Real Thing
Brillant choice
Stevie Wright performing Evie 1, 2 & 3 live on the steps of the Sydney Opera House is truly epic.
Thanks for the list
Paul is a true legend. He has many hits but his lesser known songs are just as good. Have fun listening to more.
Completely new to us. So cool to find new artists like this
Finally going through this in order as I figured out how to find that. I am sooo TH-cam smart.
This guy is amazing and alongside Cold Chisel the 2 bands I need a deeper dive on.
HA HA Cheers Alex
You need to do a full (7 days) week. Maybe round it off with Midnight Oil and Hunters & Collectors. \m/\m/
5 quintessential Australian rock tracks that you may not know:
1. Gangajang - sounds of then
2. Yothu Yindi - Treaty
3. Powderfinger - My kind of scene.
4. Australian Crawl - Boys Light Up
5. Icehouse - We can get together.
Such a deep vain to choose from. Not the best but notable. Thanks for the great and knowledgeable critiques.
PK had so many great songs like “ From little things , big things grow”
Thank you for the suggestions we very much appreciate it
So sad Aussie week is over ....Paul Kelly is the best story teller singer. Some very deep lyrics when you delve into them. My favs are Her Door or Dumb things.
My recommendations for other great Aussie Artists.
1. John Farnham and Jimmy Barnes. Something is Wrong with my baby? This is a double whammy you will get 2 Aussie Legends in one.... pick a live version to get the best experience... the one from Hey hey is saturday is great.
2. Something a bit country Lee Kernaghan- Boys from the Bush or anything from Wolf Brothers
3. Guy Sebastian, Battle Scars live from home studio.
4. Matt Corby. Brother
5. Tina Arena I'm in Chains
Anything fromTesky Bros.
Id like to put John Farnham and Jimmy Barnes on the list twice ....but once you hear them togther you'll want to make new list just for their stuff.
I have subscribed in anticipation lol
Thanks for the support. Hopefully you saw a reaction to the John Farnham and Jimmy Barnes track. We are working on a second Aussie week soon. Stick around!
@@TheThamesmen I sure did. Thanks
if you want another amazing Oz singer/songwriter from about a decade before Paul Kelly - and still touring - take a look ar Richard Clapton .....try "Deep Water" (close title to this track lol) or "Best Years of Our Lives", "Capricorn Dancer" "Goodbye Tiger", "Down in the Lucky Country" or his most well known track "Girls on the Avenue".... an Aussie icon
Hell yeah, Richard Clapton is an off-the-charts legend (ha! That's an unintended pun! 🤣)
Way too tough to nail down which song to recommend though!
You've got to hear How To Make Gravy, one of Paul Kelly's very best.
Oh, Oh. Please. To Her Door.
I have already searched your content item by item looking for it and its missing.
Paul kelly to her door!
Awesome song and a real Aussie anthem.
Five tracks
Marseilles - The Angels live
Flame Trees - Cold Chisel
Tip of My Tongue - Diesel
To Her Door - Paul Kelly
Dead Heart - Midnight Oil
One Word - Baby Animals
More than n five I know. I could give you heaps more.
Brilliant thank you for the suggestions
The Mushroom video version of One Word is excellent
Thank you, I enjoyed watching Aussie week. There are so many great songs there could easily be an Aussie month. Here are five more songs.
AC/DC - It’s A Long Way To The Top (If You Wanna Rock ‘N’ Roll) (1975)
John Farnham - Help! (1980)
Divinyls - Boys In Town (1981)
The Church - Under The Milky Way (1988)
Yothu Yindi - Treaty (1991)
For a current Aussie artist my pick is Didirri for his soulful indie folk-rock.
He's a prolific writer across the full spectrum of music - from folk, country, bluegrass, blues, rock, film soundtracks et al - turning suburban scenes into glorious anthems. By the way, Alex. it's an ES 335, not a 355. The 355 and 345 have the tone selector switch ( as on BB's Lucille) below the bridge pickup.
Ohhhh Nice... Well spotted!!
Aussie week was terrific! Thank you, Thamesmen!
And thanks Chris, great list!
Glad you enjoyed it
Love listening to Paul Kelly. You get what you see no shit. Great Aussie singer.
Divinyls - Else... uncensored one
Hunters and Collectors - Say Goodbye
Hoodoo Gurus - Lalanie
The Loved Ones.. The Loved One
John J Francis.. "Simple Ben" from the "The Morning of the Earth"
Songs for a follow up Australian week would be for me:
The Easybeats - Friday on my Mind
The Saints - Know Your Product
Powderfinger- The Metre
Silver Chair - Straight Lines
The Drones - Shark Fin Blues
Awesome fellas. Another subscription/like from Australia!
Welcome
Paul is a legend. Linda Bull backing, no Vika on that performance.
He has a tonne of songs and he writes a lot for others. He has done an album with Neil Finn where they performed each others songs and on some dueted. Another album of all Paul Kelly songs were covered by women 'Women at the well'.
❤❤❤this song thanks for reviews of Aussie bands.
We love Aussie bands and their supporters even more
Album from 1995. Remember buying the cd new. Great artist. Tons of great songs over the years. Still making fantastic music.
Looking to delve int more
Paul Kelly is a certified National Treasure and just gets better with age! There are songs by him which have embedded themselves in the Australian consciousness - To Her Door, How to Make Gravy, and especially From Little Things Big Things Grow (co-written with Kev Carmody, about a history making fight for Aboriginal land rights - an absolute must).
Thanks for being here and checking our channel out. More soon!! Thanks G&A
Fav Australian song ever: Mark Seymour: Last ditch cabaret. Notable mention of nearer times: Tame Impala: Let it happen. Other mentions: Chalice: The Calm that was the storm (Closest you'll get to Nightwish or Epica from here) and finally: Spiderbait: Buy me a pony
Many thanks for being here and more super soon!
Mark Seymour was way too ignored once he went solo. That’s a great song.
That one degree that you refer to is the SOUL in Australian Music. Very Soulful !
Thanks for the comment and also thanks for being here and more soon. Thanks G&A
Five tracks? Hard. Cattle and Cain - Go Betweens. Wide Open Road - The Triffids. Wild Roses - Nick Cave. Loved One - The Loved ones. Flame Trees - Cold Chisel. A million more.
Brilliant thanks for the support
Paul’s in his late 60’s now. Has been going since the ‘70’s … a national living treasure ❤️❤️
I would say he is the Australian version of Dylan and Leonard Cohen.
He has that level of pure talent and empathy
I heard Paul Kelly’s “Darlin it Hurts” today. A great example of Paul Kelly rocking. Otherwise, “From Little Things Big Things Grow” is a great story song.
Definitely have to listen to 'making Gravy' an iconic Aussie tune.
Thanks for being here and checking our channel out. More soon!! Thanks G&A
Amazing how every culture has their troubadour. listening to this week it is amazing how different the music is you can see how it is the same with just enough individuality to make it different. It's been amazing! looking forward to see how the other countries follow suite.
Paul Kelly & Gurramul singing 'Amazing Grace' just incredible harmonies
Only recently found your channel, and I'm still exploring. Not sure if you have done any Crowded House yet, but Paul Kelly did a concert with Neil Finn from Crowded House, taking turns singing their greatest hits!! I would highly recommend checking out this concert, it was absolutely phenomenal. Might be too long to do a complete reaction video to, but just sit and watch it without reacting, just treat yourself!!
Only found you a few days back, but love your vids so far, keep 'em coming!! 😀
You're right - we haven't YET!!! Hope you like the channel Scott
Thanks guys. Careless is a great track too!
Will check
Paul Kelly is my all time favorite songwriter. If he comes around you need to see him.
His version of a song called From Little Things Big Things Grow
Thanks Jon
Paul Kelly is if the best one of the best singer song writers of all time. He's up there with Dylan, Simon & Garfunkel, Neil Diamond, Springsteen and so on. Love PK's music, FYI the backing singer is he mentioned is Linda Bull (search " Vika & LInda" )
i'm late to this show and love it - love watching you two and how you seem to like Aussie Music - You brought me the Saints which i have just gone mad with. Paul Kelly - how to make gravy, from St Kilda to Kings Cross, Meet me in the middle of the
Air, Leaps and bounds and Dumb things
Great journey
I love this Aussie Week you are doing. I worked as a roadie/lighting guy/bouncer in the 80's-90's and actually setup for both Paul Kelly and Jimmy Barnes a couple of times. I also have seen all your Aussie week ones live except Daddy Cool but I think Mum saw them.
Many thanks for being here and more super soon!
KOOL!!!!
How to Make Gravy is peak Paul Kelly. You will see the story telling parallels with Dylan for sure. About a bloke in prison missing the family Christmas dinner and you feel all of it. And yes, it definitely counts as a Christmas song!
Interesting comments re country music and folk. I used to listen to bush bands that played Australian country songs from way back and that included sea shanties and songs about bushrangers.
Evie 1 2&3 is worth watching . Thanks from down under 👏
Thank you for being here thank you for your support we very much appreciate it
So many amazing songs written and performed by our great Paul Kelly over so many years. He is superb.
Thanks so much for being here and supporting us. Be well and have a fab day. G&A
Seeing Paul Kelly in concert in a couple of weeks. Can't wait for Mundi Mundi Bash. 3 days of Aussie music. worth driving for 2 days, staying in the outback with no water and power....... Bliss
So many Aussie bands for you to explore
Many thanks for being here and more super soon!
"If I could start today again" by Paul Kelly . Simple, perfect song.
Thanks for being here and checking our channel out. More soon!! Thanks G&A
I'd suggest Ball Park Music. So much depth, so brilliant, so talented !
Ok. Thanks
Yes BPM, best band since the Beatles!
I feel sorry for non-Australians who don’t know about them 😭
‘It’s nice to be alive’ or ‘surrender’ or ‘IFLY’ or ‘fence sitter’ from their back catalogue or ‘cherub’ or ‘stars in my eyes’ more recently ❤️❤️❤️
You are going to lose your mind when you go down the Paul Kelly rabbit hole. I cannot wait
As an Australian guy who lived the stuff you've played from the golden 70's and 80's period I have to admit to not really being across Aussie bands anymore. That said, the artist that has cut through to me is Courtney Barnett. Wonderful writing, distinctly individual and Australian. Edgy and current but with so many echoes that will resonate with music you have loved in the past.
A good live track to get what she's about is : Courtney Barnett - Avant Gardener (Live on KEXP)
Thanks for the message. Take care and have a fab day. Cheers G&A
Paul Kelly' greatest hits is good. Deeper Water always makes me cry. Cheers from Tassie lads.
Thanks for the comments and also for being here. Be well G&A
My Top 5 straya tracks....MENTAL AS ANYTHING...IF YOU LEAVE ME CAN I COME TOO..THE SAINTS ..STRANDED..THE ANGELS SHADOW BOXER..SPIDERBAIT ..BLACK BETTY...DIVINYALS ..BOYS IN TOWN..MOST ARE BANGERS..CHEERS FROM DOWNUNDER
I've only just discovered you guys today. Subscribed!!!! (from Australia)
Welcome and thanks for joining. Lots of Aussie content for you!
@@TheThamesmen This is only the 2nd reaction channel I've subscribed to. The last one had about 12k subscribers when I joined. They're at 150k now. And yes, I like Aussie music, but there's this one band, from some make-believe country called New Zealand... Split Enz... Search "Six months in a leaky boat live 06".... I'm not kidding here when saying that this band (bloody Kiwis) may actually be the only band on the planet who were better than The Beatles... Yeah, I said it (and it hurt me to say it).
@@_Dei_ okay. Interesting! Hopefully we can get to it!
@@TheThamesmen Thanks. But don't go too far down the Split Enz rabbit hole. You may end up at the 1996 Crowded House concert on the steps on the Sydney Opera house (I was in the crowd). A 15 hour concert that finished at 1am the next day, and, as it was free, no one ever counted the crowd size. Counting started at 120,000....
@@_Dei_ well that sounds epic!
Some of this band was from the TV show Rockwiz, now defunct. The show was a rock quiz show with guest artists who were given songs outside of their normal repetoire to perform. Most of these shows are on YT.
Check out Tim Rogers and Vika Bull singing Gimme Shelter, the Rockwiz Band with The Weight, Colleen Hewitt Superstar, Connie Mitchell What A Feeling.
Many thanks - We will
If you like Cricket.... and you do. Try "Bradman", by Paul Kelly, That's a hell of a story.
Paul Kelly is wonderful! Personal faves are Dumb Things and Firewood & Candles .
Loving your reactions and conversations after the songs have been listened to - keep it up!!
Listen to all of the Paul Kelly. Far and away the best songwriter in Australia, at any point of his now long career. I once saw him at The Baxter Tavern here in Victoria, where he put in a 2.5hour show in the early 90's. The band took NO breaks. Paul took a one song break, and his lead guitar lead the band for the old George Jones song "White Lightnin'". That was the late great Steve Connelly, the soloist for Leaps and Bounds and so many of the Coloured Girls' best songs.
Some interesting facts...To Her Door, Love Never Runs On Time, and How To Make Gravy are a trilogy it took a long time to get. About 20 years. They are apparently about the same bloke.
My boss went to school with Steve Connelly, and his sister was his girlfriend for a while. My bos's, not Steve's.
Our old drummer toured with Spencer P Jones, the lapsteel player on "Gravy".
The drummer in this clip is a fucking legend. Peter Luscombe. You guys should look up Joe Camilleri and the Black Sorrows. Also The Rockwiz Orchestra, and look at the faces. And The Models. You'll see so many familiar faces, because they are all Australian Music Royalty.
Wow. Great info. Thanks for sharing. Love all the links
Paul Kelly and the gang what legends!
Love those guys, awesome!
Many thanks for being here and have a fab weekend G&A
Please sample Matt Colby 'Brother' extraordinary voice. Live version
I think you mean Matt Corby. Acoustic version for Like a Version is my favourite
Many thanks for being here and more super soon!
" from Little Things" exceptional lyrics in all his songs
No1. Back up singer was Linda Bull. She and her sister Linda are brilliant together as artists. No.2, Kelly's "How to make Gravy" is an odd one but brilliant. A song written for a charity Christmas album, has no chorus and is just more of his talent.
Many thanks for being here and more super soon!
How to Make Gravy is the quintessential Aussie Xmas song (well, there's Six White Boomers but ....) but Paul Kelly has one for every occasion. He is the sound of Australia for my money. Fabulous storyteller and I love his voice, not traditional but laconic, like Australia.
Drinking white wine in the sun
Many thanks for being here and more super soon!
I just can't think of a Bob Dylan for USA..
Paul Kelly is Soo good, so many great songs, To Her Door, How to Make Gravy, Leaps and Bounds..the list goes on!
Great list Chris, well done!
From what you were saying towards the end, sadly in more recent times we are losing the uniqueness since with the interwebs we are not as isolated as we once were. The 70s and 80s were an amazing time for Aussie music.
Another Aussie list..hmm:
The Cat Empire - Sly
The Church - Under the Milky Way
TISM - Whatareya
Dr.G(Gurrumul) - Wiyathul
Split Enz - I See Red (0k they NZ but we will claim them!)
Midnight Oil - Blue Sky Mine
Many thanks for being here and more super soon!
The sound is Aussie pub rock !
Would love to visit an Aussie pop again
That would be Linda Bull , all class.
Absolute Aussie legend 🔥👏👏👏👌😎
Thanks for the note. More soon and hope you have a fab weekend. Cheers G&A
Another Paul Kelly tune that has always been a banger for me was "Dumb things".
He has really interesting names for all his songs it seems?
My 5:
Jimmy Barnes and John Farnham “when something is wrong with my baby” (showing the yanks how soul should sound)
John Farnham “help” live with the Melbourne Symphony Orchestra (rude to call this a cover of the Beatles song, it’s an improvement)
The new Qantas advert that just came out “I still call Australia home” (they’ve done a few adverts set to this song, the children’s choir from the 90’s is possibly even better)
Yothu Yindi “Treaty” (a brilliant bit of Indigenous rock with a worthy meaning)
Hunters and Collectors “Holy Grail” live at the AFL grand final 2013 (every Aussie sings every word when this plays in a pub)
Don’t know any 2022 bands. Airport piano by Tim Minchin is cool.
I like Luke o Shea from Australian country scene....he has some funny ones (with medicine wheel) but also some serious ballads.
some skyhooks would be cool.
Pure genius!!!
And the music? Be well Cheers Alex
You should hear "dumb things" and "before too long" by Paul Kelly
George here. Apple Music played me Dumb Things randomly and love it. Great track
@@TheThamesmen yes sir it is excellent. The album Gossip by Paul Kelly and the Dots is worth a full listen also
My top "5" (well, who can really stick to a top 5?): It's because I love you, Master's Apprentices; From little things big things grow, Paul Kelly; When the war is over, Cold Chisel; Black and Blue, Chain; Let there be rock, ACDC; Street Cafe, Icehouse; I hear motion; Models; Love in Motion, Icehouse featuring Chrissy Amphlett; Hey Little Girl, The Divinyls; Purple Sneakers, You am I; Better get a lawyer, The Cruel Sea; Little Ray of Sunshine, Axiom; The one thing, INXS; We are the people, Empire of the Sun; Wedding Ring, Easybeats; Harley and Rose, the Black Sorrows. I need to stop now. But, it you only listen to one more Australian song, make it 'It's because I love you'. It's a classic that was beyond it's time.
Many thanks for being here and more super soon!
Paul Kelly….where to start.
Everything’s Turning to White
Love Never Runs on Time
Anastasia
Before Too Long
From St Kilda to Kings Cross
You could listen for weeks and still find bits of genius that you’d missed
I'd go for Making Gravy there but.....
My top 5- quintessentially Australian....?
Wide Open Road- The Triffids
Treaty- Yothu Yindi
London Still- The Waifs
Sounds of Then [This Is Australia]- GANGgajang
Great Southern Land- Icehouse
Special Mention: The Real Thing- Russell Morris [produced by Molly Meldrum in 1969]

Great taste mate.
Yothi Yindi..... blast from past
An Aussie here, just discovered you guys. Nice that you’re delving into the occasional Aussie music week.
If I may offer my five day suggestion (I’m guessing you’ve already been given a heap to try, but more can’t hurt):
1: Always Another by Matt Finish, either studio version or the live one they recorded for a show called Sounds or Sounds Unlimited
2: Cold Chisel’s cover of Wild Thing from their Last Stand concerts when they broke up back in the mid 80s
3: I Am An Island by Richard Clapton, studio version
4: Boys In Town by Divinyls, studio version
5: Stand In Line by Midnight Oil, live version from the 2JJJ concert on Goat Island in Sydney Harbour
There’s a heap of great talent and energy in that lot.
Cheers to you guys!
Thanks for the support and suggestions. We are absolutely compiling a list for the next Aussie week. Number five in your list we have covered already and it is amazing
@@TheThamesmen
Yes. I just watched it and a number of Rush reactions plus SRV Texas Flood.
I’ve reeeeeally got to go to bed now, but there’s more of your reactions I’ve got lined up in my Watch Later list for tomorrow.
I know you probably won’t really get to the songs I’ve listed, but since you already heard Stand In Line I’m going to suggest another as a replacement:
5: The Unguarded Moment by The Church, studio version
Anyhow, great stuff, really enjoying your channel. The Rush Xanadu reaction was very intuitive and intelligent and musically savvy. Nice one!!
@@sean---the-other-one Go to bed! We really appreciate the support and suggestions and we try to cover as many as possible so who knows what will come up. The thing we lack is enough time to do everything we want to do!
@@TheThamesmen
I can well imagine it’s hard to get to all the suggestions you’d get. So much good music out there.
@@sean---the-other-one we live by suggestions... Otherwise, we end up just listening to music we know.... Have a great weekend. Alex
