Midnight Oil - Warakurna Lyrics

From 1987 to 2020 . More relevant today than 33 years ago . you can't never get rid of oil ..👍

there was enough.

It's burning In 2020. Just like you said it would.

My God...

I'm 42. I first heard this album 30 years ago. On a whim I decided to listen to a few of my favorite tracks...

I....never would have made the connection...

...thank you. I think?

I'm...not gonna be "right" for at least a few hours 😶

Woooooot

Some people think Midnight Oil’s message is purely for Australia. No, they’re music speaks to all humanity. One of the only big Australian bands to tour even outback towns in the middle of woop woop. Saw them live in Broome and at Derby Boab week. One of my favourite bands.

Spot on😊

This is in my top ten favorite albums--it's genius and beautiful and sad and enraging and inspiring💗

It's PURE empathy expressed musically: It's angry but never self-righteous, it's mournful but never indulgent or morose.

Your description was perfect:

It's easy to question an all-white band writing and performing songs about the oppression of non-white people...

...easy to write them off as privileged social justice warriors assuaging their own guilt...

But that's a surface-level perception.

I was just now pondering how a white band could write and perform such profound music about a people they cannot EVER understand:

You *almost* WANT to write them off as deluded, self-important "lefty" nutjobs--OR clever marketers hoping to make money off deluded, self-important "lefty" nutjobs...

... because that's *easier* , it's less "uncomfortable".

Confronting the reality that this *is us* ...

ALL of us.

That's difficult and unsettling...that makes honest people think about themselves and the world they live in...

...the world we ALL live in, not just your little corner--filled with people who look and act and think just like you.

This isn't Australian music, or Tribal music, or Aboriginal music--or *even* political music:

It's human music.

Why’s this so underrated

Peter Garrett time to make him pm

D&D
is what we breath
...so true

This the album's best track.

'Difficult to choose a 'best' from this superb album.

Da best

🇧🇷🇧🇷

There is enough ...

...there is enough....for everyone. So true...

Les paroles représentent bien la réalité encore aujourd'hui

Trop reel la reflexion :-)

Like si lo escuchas en 2019, saludos desde FRESNILLO Zacatecas México al Mundo yeahhhhhh 🇲🇽🇲🇽🇲🇽🇲🇽🇲🇽 viva México, Midnight oil Grupazo 🙏✌👍🇲🇽.

I still listen to this song 3 or 4 times a year at the very least

these songs were from the days of my jaundice. blindly i hated them because they excluded me and foolishly i cut on them but these days i am nonbiased and wish to make peace with that part of my life.

1/3 of the bats died in a week. Land must burn.

This land must change or land must burn!!

This land don't change this land must lie

You can no go wrong with the Oils! One if not the best album from them, so much meaning
