It's not fair that artist like Thelma don't get more commercial success. Thelma you look amazing in blak
Thats why paul McCartneys collaborating with her? And local legends like paul kelly
Shes just capitalizing off a movement
Dont fuel ignorance
It dont matter if your black, or white

Properly bawling me eyes out to this. Deadly women, deadly song.
Alison Murphy-Oates deadly
Same ♥️🖤💛😭
mii cuzzin
Deadly ??? means dangereux ????
@@winwin33winpromzwiproch63 no it means something is really cool :)
This song as an Indigenous woman gives me strength...
Thelma Plum has a voice
That needs to be recognised
Powerful.
Thank you Thelma.
Go Jedda
Love this song. Australian music needs more of this kind of representation tbh 🙏🙏
yes
Hell yes!
i really like this one ... brilliant voice, just paid for 4 of her tracks... i normally just stream off youtube, but a brilliant artist like this deserves financial encouragement.. :D
Agreed with you
🙏🙏🙏🙏🎶🎶🎶😇😇😇☺☺
Money makes the world go round... 😂
First time I encountered Thelma was last week, opening for Troye Sivan in Sydney. Blown away! Amazing vocals and such profound lyrics in her music
I heard her at his show in Melbourne and I agree she has a wonderful voice especially live
Same here! She’s a thousand times more amazing live it was a pleasure😍😍
I saw her in Brissy and have been obsessed ever since!
I also saw Thelma Plum opening for Troye Sivan in Sydney. She was great.
@@one2teen - its such a cool surprise when you go to a show; and the support act absolutely kills it; taking everyone wo was clever enough to turn up early by surprise.
I just came here because the full album just dropped at midnight here in the U.S. Great job, Thelma! The entire thing is intricate and very well written. Excellent album that I’m going to be listening to over and over again!
From the bottom of my heart I thank you for these words
having my identity stolen from me as a baby
I feel this song very deeply ❤️❤️❤️
They took the colour from me but I look better in Black 🦎
Thelma’s voice.....like this song is something for the ages.
Entire album is solid. Her voice is so amazing. I’m so glad she took her time to put together such well structured album with so much raw emotion. THANKS THELMA!!!!!!!
This is amazing, I just did a school assignment on you in music and now im a fan of you. You’re so powerful I love you
I interviewed Thelma quite some years ago when I worked as full time
Broadcaster for Koori Radio & Thelma was a young teenager & I thought she was great then & wow has she grown into an amazing phenomenal vocalist/songwriter.
Lyrically I feel this song on such an emotional level, masterpiece. I can’t believe I can only hear this song on JJJ WTF!? Artists like this should be recognised and celebrated.
Thank you Thelma I absolutely love this song and I love the meaning too. Be who you are and be proud of who you are.
@Judas Iscariot I dont think hes being racist if he was he wouldn't be here loving the song
@Judas Iscariot you do realize I'm aboriginal and she is as well right if you read the lyric "if I had lighter skin maybe I would win" it's about what if I change or even be born different would my life be different, fair, easy or even be treated better. The point I'm trying to prove is read the lyrics carefully and look at it from her point of view and dont just listen to 30 seconds of it and make an assumption have a good few listens and read the lyrics it's not promoting racism she's just telling you what she sees.
@Judas Iscariot oh God you are not getting it 😂😂😂😂 shes basically saying what if we was white would people treat her better if not then she looks better in black 😂😂😂
Judas Iscariot Hello, firstly pointing out inequalities that exist today and showing that skin colour may be an influencing factor in determining success is not racist at all and does not fall under its definition. As a person who has learnt about Aboriginals, statistics tend to agree that they actually tend to suffer in areas such as income, mental health, education, physical health, housing conditions, etc, which indicates Aboriginals must overcome these barriers that plague their communities, unlike White Australians. There are clear barriers to success, perpetuated through Australia’s dark history and treatment of Aboriginals. I think it’s sad you think this song is racist at all and you should open your mind to the hardships these people face.
Wow I didn’t mean to sound like a racist, I was just saying I love this song. I didn’t read where I wrote the part about skin colour. If all you get out of this song is skin colour I do believe you have missed the point all together. This is clearly a very powerful song and it’s about herself too not just her skin.
Do you know what it feels like?
To get calls in the middle of the night?
Saying you're not worth it, you deserve it
Go on, have another drink
Do you know what it feels like?
To get stuck in the middle of a fight?
Screaming you're not worth it, you deserve it
Go on, have another drink
But if I just keep quiet
I'll be the one who's lying too
Why should I keep hiding, always crying?
Tell me what did I do?
You took the colour from me, darling, I'll get it back
You took the colour from me, but I look better in black
If I knew what I know now, maybe I would take it back
But fuck that, I look better in black
Do you know what it feels like?
To be told that you are never right?
If I had a lighter skin maybe I would win
Does it make you want to think?
Do you know what it feels like?
'Cause I know what it feels like!
If I had a lighter skin maybe I would win
Does it make you want to think?
But if I just keep quiet
I'll be the one whose lying too
Why should I keep hiding, always crying?
Tell me what did I do?
You took the colour from me, darling, I'll get it back
I'll get it back, I'll get it back, I'll get it back, I'll get it back
You took the colour from me, but I look better in black
If I knew what I know now, maybe I would take it back
But fuck that, I look better in black
Hey! I look better in black
Hey! I look better in black
If I knew what I know now, maybe I would take it back
But fuck that (fuck that!) I look better in black
This icon thelma plum has stolen my heart, don’t stop now gorgeous girl! 🖤💛❤️
i love this song, its so catchy. I like seeing my aunties! From your nephew Ngaarrgii!
Thanks to 666 and radio Canberra for playing Thelma during Naidoc week in the last couple of days. You absolutely rock and no wonder everyone voted for you as the best. Because you simply are. Not just because your a great singer, but because you are a fantastic spokesperson for indigenous Australians and all people whom others think that they should behave or act differently just because of their heritage. Huge respect.
Gorgeous!!!! So down to earth 🌏 colour scheme is great.
This is perfect pop song and so much more! It should Australia's new anthem! I have it on repeat! Thanks Thelma!
Amazing song. Your voice is stunning!
I heard it yesterday on the radio here in germany and can't stop pressing the repeat button...
here from the triple j hottest 100! this song deserves so much more
Agreed!!!
Your voice is so sweet, yet powerful. Archie would be grooving on his cloud, little lady.♥️♥️
Beautiful, never change, u powerful Black Woman. Know that u have REAL STRENGTH in ur music and ur truth. Thank you
water init
Love her confident smile at the end of the clip
I'm very glad to see indigenous people having their voice heard in general and especially through means like this that can really help with pure exposure, if enough people are willing to engage with her message that is which sadly many Australians still are not, but it can only help.
Why do they call it RE-conciliation when relations were never good in the first place? (Not to disrespect movements that have done good for the indigenous people but the wording is not accurate to the history by the normal definition)
When will we offer an 'apology' that actually warrants some bonding and strengthening of ties and relations (aka, actual action, actual polices, an actual movement, the chance for indigenous people to forge their own path forwards with agency).
When will we acknowledge that the department of child services is the modernized rebranding of the stolen generations (less explicit sure, but we all know proportionally indigenous families suffer far more than other groups in these regards).
I’ve had this album pumping through the speakers to the backyard as I repatriate by garden. Perfect spring listening. Deadly!
How talented is this beautiful woman her music is phenomenal
You are amazing. Super proud of you contributing to the Australian music scene. An inspiration to my daughter. Thelma, keep doing what you do! xx
So amazing, so beautiful you are Thelma! So super super talented! What a voice, what a lyricists. God bless you Tidda, you are incredible and you are going to go far, aim for the moon!
❤🌈🌝🌟
Such a beautiful song, such a powerful statement, she will inspire others
This needs more love !!! Absolutely love her songs !!!❤
Tears and goose bumps! Bless you Thelma
I love that it's got this instantly nostalgic feel/sound to it. Makes me keen for the album! :D
The sound reminds me of Stereophonics for some reason.
nice voice, nice presence.
Thelma you are incredible ❤️
Agree with Ally. This is the perfect song. It’s my ear worm. Should have been number 1 in the hot 100. As a 63 yr old who has been with the Js since the beginning this is my No. 1
Magnificent songwriting xox
man, not shitting you in any way, shape or form, welling up, what powerful and emotional lyrics my god.
Her voice! 😍💕👌
Me too! I started listening to Thelma's songs after her side serving at Troye's in Auckland.
See you at the Coldplays concert 2023 ❤
This tune has been playing on the jukebox in my head for weeks, but seeing the clip for the first time took it to a totally different level. Just blown away.
LOVE this song!! x
Wow, blown away. Thanks to La Trioli for the heads up! 🌺✌️
This song just healed so many broken parts of me 💜 thank you Thelma
Great song. Great lyrics. Very inspiring, even as a middle aged white male. Good on you.
Big respect mate, love your work. Wish you good health and happiness.

We know what it feels like...thank you for singing it, giving the words life and understanding. Thelma, you're absolutely amazing!
I like this video Thelma! Simple, artistic and effective. Congratulations on winning the songwriter of the year award!! Good to hear you writing from the heart.
Shes a gorgeous woman with a beautiful voice, blessed.
Queen!! I hope this keeps getting lots of air play, you do deserve it, and are worth it, for sure!!!
I have listened to about 6 of your songs now. I have yet to be disappointed. Take my subscription, take my likes, well done. Correction: EXTREMELY well done. 🖤💛❤
Perfect song. Love Thelma.
Wow, loving your songs. I like the beat and definitely the message.
So close Thelma, this was my number 1
You are a legend Thelma, keep making wicked tunes!
emotional, accurate and loyal, bloody great song
I hope people are voting for this song for the Triple J Hottest 100!
absolutely amazing song. saw you live last year and you were absolutely vibing keep at it Thelma!!!!!
Man I love this song
I think EVERYONE looks better in their skin cause that's how YOU are. 😃 Empathy, character, and humanitarian values are what our species presently needs. Group work and cooperation got us here, so let us continue.
Thel just gets better with each new song and video!! Love it!!
Whats wrong with Australia...this chick is self made! She's just as good as some top Aboriginal singers!! This Woman needs recognition like ASAP!!
this is gorgeous!
Can I just add to that ? . . . And an expression of the ability, to transform an un-positive into a positive . . The transformation of lead into gold. The Power Of Alchemy, raising ones vibration rather than de-evolve. You rock Thelma ! : ))
Just discovered this today after listening to the album. Thank you. You are amazing!!! Definitely a new fan.
This just came on in my car (had it on repeat for a bit too hehe) and i was instantly transported back to when it was released. Such a gem of a song even if it's based on humans being shitty to each other. Thank you again
I love your voice..thank you for your talent to entertain us
