Anybody reading this who just played this song you are a bloody legend!! We get one life so make the most of it. Live in the moment, time is precious 🇦🇺❤️
I was awake all night in the SE USA to watch Steve Irwin’s Memorial LIVE as John sang this song & was immediately hooked. I played it for my preschool class almost daily after that & they loved it. In the US, I compare the sentiment to ‘Find Out Who Your Friends Are’ by Tracy Lawrence. John’s song has a smoother sound, but Tracy’s song hits the heart in a similar way:)🙏🇺🇸🙏🇦🇺
This guy is amazing. I am in the United States but when I hear this song I wish so much I was Australian. I have turned so many of my friends on to John Williamson. I hope all you Australians appreciate the talent you have in this man.
U would probably like Paul Kelly too. He tells such vivid stories in his songs, sometimes the small stuff,sometimes big stuff like land rights & racism. Practically every aussie listens to his song HOW TO MAKE GRAVY@ xmas & we're not afraid to get teary over it.

@@davidhenschke44 Let's go back in time to the bad old days of about a year ago when Australians were being shot with rubber bullets at the Shrine of Remembrance in Melbourne (just as one example amongst many).
❤I love John Williamson and have seen him many times in concert, he is amazing and this song should be played on air every single Australia Day no matter what. Love you John, your talent and your courage and thank you for all your songs.❤❤❤
This is really sad in these days. all i learned from my Aussie fam is always help your surroundings. wish i could visit my Aussie Fam again miss them...
Played this at my dads funeral as they carried his Coffin. My dad loved John he went to see John in 2000 when he came to the uk and got a cd for me signed that’s said gday becky. I was 8 when my dad gave me it and I still have it now x
I'd think it's hard to find an Aussie, whose not adoring this classic, it's always melted my heart, as a proud Aussie! It's amazing your lyrics John Williamson, love it! 🇦🇺🇦🇺🥰🥰🥰
@MarcosBryant-gk1jv John's a gifted, talented songwriter, musician and singer which I absolutely admire, especially in this particular song because John's touched on what's great about being Australian! That we've got a lot to appreciate with this wonderful landscape, easygoing nature, beautiful unique wildlife, our laid back attitude in relationships with family and friends! Being true blue to me is being honest to one another and giving each other a fair dinkum go! John's also a very humble man that's never been into the glamour and fame! He's just a true easy going bloke and quite the gentleman!
I grew up listening to John Williamson - my mum absolutely loved him. She passed 15yrs ago and was just watching Colin from accounts and this song was played. Immediately brought tears to my eyes. I wonder what John would think of Australia today if he was worried about a dying breed of Aussie 40 yrs ago.
Conjures great memories of the bush, having mates sleepover when we were kids and walking the logging tracks late at night, hearing the dingoes wail at the moon, running scared back home, past the cyclone-branded fence, seeing the flashing eyes.

For non-Australians who don’t know much about slang here/ “Hey True Blue, don’t say you’re gone. Say you’ve knocked off for a smoko and you’ll be back later on…” You can call someone who has a genuine heart True Blue. But the lines make me cry because instead of them being gone you wished they’d just stepped outside for smoke break and they’re coming back after. This is a great song for the funeral of someone who was always authentic and real, a true person.
love the firies being featured in this vid. Merry Christmas to all our "heroes" and their families, to all who have lost their homes and lively-hoods and to all the farmers and country towns doing it tough. May the rains come very soon and may 2020 be everything we all wish for

We love you for your masterpiece, that touches the hearts of all Australians! What a beautiful song at your Dad's funeral to have!! I'll never ever forget being sang at our "National treasure, The Wonderful Steve Irwin's funeral was just a tearful, beautiful way to celebrate his life! ❤❤
My 8 and 5 year old grandchildren just asked me to plead play this song for them on my phone, then went on to sing along!!! Brought tears to my eyes. I love John Williamson, and they do too.
For some reason this song always makes me think of Steve Irwin's funeral. He did a great job there. This song is absolutely timeless. Such an underrated song. Pure 'Australiana'.
Waltzing Matilda was actually written by a Scot ,as was the Australian national anthem, maybe that's why I have such a affinity with Australia , I have visited six times and hope to visit one more time before I depart this life , long live Australia
@@Protaras63 Angus & Malcolm Young, Jimmy Barnes, Colin Hay from Men At Work.... all purveyors of Aussie goodness. And Scots. All of them. I'm proud to be a Scottish-born Aussie. Plus I get two football teams to support :)
When I was a kid mum used to have a john Williamson live cassette she played on the vcr. This was the late 80s. I will be eternally grateful to my mother for teaching me what it means to be an Australian at such an early age. For all my failures as a person I can always hold in my heart that I am me. An Aussie. And I have mum to thank for it.
I've grown up with John's music and really enjoy every single song he has ever written, always from the heart! You give our country soul, mate, and you make us all proud to be True Blue. My brother Bruce has your CD collection, as he lives OS and is always homesick for the scenes you describe. Many thanks John. Just keep on singing... We love you.
I used to laugh at this song as an America-worshiping, 90s Aussie teenager. I now greatly admire the man’s authenticity. In a sea of Aussies faking US accents, Williamson stands tall and proud, unashamedly showcasing our unique drawl. I love our American friends and the amazing musical canon they’ve gifted the world. But Aussies must be proud of our own cultural identity.

i know u wont see this but i just wanna say that this song holds a special place in my heart and forever will because anytime i listen to the song i will forever think of my nan because she loved this song and we decided to play this at her funeral so thank you
Omg!!! This song also holds a safe place and special place in *my* heart too becasue Nan loved this song too and we played this song at her funeral too. I'm an Aussie and I love Nan. She wasn't an original Aussie but most people called her "more Aussie than most Aussies"
This brings tears to my eyes it reminds me of my uncle we called uncle bluey who smoked and he was a firemen who was also very handy in his spare time I miss you uncle bluey
A big shout out to everyone in Oz; thinking of you with all of the devastation from the fires and extreme heat. Stay safe, stay strong, and stay True Blue!

Listening and watching John singing this makes me so happy to be part of Australia. Somehow I hope our nation returns to the heritage that it seems to have become ashamed of. An Australia where no matter where we came from we know we are lucky to be here and we stand by our country and our people no matter what. I wasn't born here but I'm am happy to have been accepted and be a part of this great land. I hope I always feel or at least remember that we were and can still be "the Lucky Country". Amazing how a song can inspire such deep feelings.
I played this song at my uncle’s funeral in Moruya a few days ago because he lives in the country. It hit Me RIGHT IN THE FEELS. Edit:- IVE NEVER GOTTEN 12 LIKES BEFORE OR ANY REPLIES TYSM SUTHERLAND AND KAY FOR REPLYING
For my friend in Australia,so happy to know you since 1990,you are an amazing person,this song is for you and your 👪 and for your French teaching,vive l'amitié FrancoAustralienne@
I heard this song today in a market in Brisbane, as I walked by in the crowd. Took me straight back to Steve Irwin and his funeral. I have to admit it brought on a few tears. Amazing, the power of music to take you back in time.
Wow. Life in the bush can be pretty good. Amazing photograhy. Dont forget the CWA. And as for the volunteer fire fighters. These bush fires have been horrendous. Love and prayers to everyone affected.
Late 2023 . Still loving the sound after Twelve years in Africa I can tell you Australia is heaven compared to the rest of the world. I'm so glad I made it back here ....
What a Australian man he's music is so beautiful to listen to he's songs make so proud to be an Australian bloody beautiful love your music John Williamson
i hear this and think of Steve Irwin, who embodied all the joy, enthusiasm and True Blue nature of Australians, some of the best people I've ever met! Lovely lovely song.
I get a little sad when I hear this as Australia as I knew it is disappearing. We are so busy trying to please everyone that we have forgotten ourselves

What is Aussie? Australians have no identity. How can we tell migrants to be Aussie and learn our culture when it died out years ago.

Was the favorite song of Steve Irwin. Rest in peace Steve 🙏🏻🙏🏻
Best song ever
''Are you really disappearing''. Yes, we are. Mateship and lending a hand seem to be slowly disappearing in this country and it's heartbreaking.
This is really sad in these days. all i learned from my Aussie fam is always help your surroundings. wish i could visit my Aussie Fam again miss them...
Nah its just you fuckwit
So true mate but some of us will try and keep the tradition of mateship
In US too. I've suffered here like Alexander Scholchenezen in the old Soviet Union. They continue, not knowing what America was.

i hear this and think of Steve Irwin, who embodied all the joy, enthusiasm and True Blue nature of Australians, some of the best people I've ever met! Lovely lovely song.
I get a little sad when I hear this as Australia as I knew it is disappearing. We are so busy trying to please everyone that we have forgotten ourselves
I’m from the states and honestly the first I heard this masterpiece it was Steve Irwin’s funeral I always get emotional
Love from Iraq you are really legend
