I'm 13 and I'm still listening to this i wish i was born in this generation!
There was rampant crime, drug addiction, and rape, my friend. Be grateful for the time you have and make the most of it
@@whitehorse8558 Hang on mate. You get what you focus on. I'm very long term Aussie (pre 19th century) and I say hang on! Just be you. 'Beyond a wholesome discipline be gentle with yourself'. I hope @joshcross8728 gets this. We ask that you do your best. But we old people will catch you if you fall. We are still strong enough for that even though our bodies fail us.
@@Ruth-wu3vf I appreciate your advice, but telling a teenager to fake their emotions isn't necessarily the answer, I don't think. When you are blue, you are blue. You can still be optimistic and positive about the future, but you can still be sad-- two things can be true at once. Those are the sorts of things that confuse and frustrate teenagers; when they are told one thing yet they must also do another
Josh, it was an awesome time to be alive. Take care x
@@whitehorse8558 Nothing has changed bud it's still like that all over
US born and raised and this is one of the most chilling and powerful songs I’ve ever heard in my life. This song resonates through my soul even when I just think of the lyrics in my head. I wish more people knew it.
I grew up with this as a teenager in the 80s. Believe me, we had NO idea how good this music was. It was just normal at the time for us.... 😁
As a 15 yo this song and band blended in nicely with all the music we had to put up with. As a father I had to damage my children too and they have started damaging my grand children with this stuff

Oui la chanson française est pas mal non plus mais la qualité de ces hymnes de la musique rock....ça me donne la chair de poule
🌏
We love you too
G'day Elsa. As an Aussie and a music lover I say cheers and cheers again 🍻 I hope you are well mate!
So you like our music listen to the angles Marseille you'll love it
If an American wrote this it would be considered as one of the greatest songs of all time.
It already is
It surely is!!
Only an American from the USA would write this comment.
We Don’t need America to make great songs 😂😂
Is that really you Marty? Hehe. I’ve followed your guitar tutorials for ages! Much love, Rachel from New Zealand.
Grew up in Europe, lived the 80ies (still live them today), fell in love with Australia, not only because of the incredible amount of good bands like INXS, Midnight Oil, Split Enz, Icehouse, Mental as anything, Divinyls, ...... Ended up living in Oz. What can you say? Mission accomplished!
split enz are from new zealand
Great story , Australia is an easy place to be I agree😅
@@ashleyperry7923made it big in Australia, was their platform
Powerful Australian song that as a kid I really never listened to the lyrics. As time marches forward the true beauty of the song reveals.
Well said
As an adult, I still can't understand most of the lyrics.... 😜
@@jonnaughton I posted them in the comments somewhere.
@@jonnaughton Old git, I hear ya..... :)
I agree with you mate. Cheers from an Aussie now living across the ditch!!
I have heard this song numerous times in my life, but I never knew who was the singer and I never really focused on the lyrics. Today while driving to Brisbane, this song was playing again on the radio and I was suddenly overwhelmed by emotions. It is such a beautiful track and I am truly proud of Australia. I am not an Aussie myself, but I have lived here for over a year and a half. During that time, I have made Brisbane my home, wandered around the quiet Outback, travelled the east and the west as well as leaped from Circular Quay to Manly. My time here will be up soon, but I will never forget this place and this wonderful piece of music will be among the many things that created these indelible memories.
+Sander Veges I get that feeling when I listen to John Williamson Raining on the Rock
I love you man, this was my dads favorite song
+Sander Veges Welcome to Australia, man.
+MrBombastic it still is ...
+bradbbs oh my, what a gorgeous track. Thanks for the reminder.
One of the best Australian songs of all time.
Born in the Uk I came to Australia in 1968 when I was 7. I became a Australian citizen 20 years ago. It was the best decision of my life. I’m so proud. Especially now in the midst of Covid 19. Best country in the world and I’ve been to most of them.
**Used to be Australia, Australistan or Australindia more like it. But I'm sure there'll be someone in the hordes of tens of hundreds of million cultural aliens who'll appreciate true vintage Australiana when 85% of the populace was Irish, Scottish, Welsh or Anglo-Saxon.
Australasia and anyone’s welcome here!! And I’m half Koori and half convict
An amazing decision
@@Veldtian1 So what's the racial mix now in Australia. In the year 2021?
Australia is ok but I've been to better places ,nice to visit but to live , not for me.
Greatest song in Australian rock. Period. James did a great job.
Hard to say, Great Southern Land is equal for me.
Khe sanh too
Ny fav aus crawl song for sure.....
100% . Grew up in Oz but never really knew of James until he went solo. Gutted
I'm from the States, All Aussie Rock is extremely underrated!! Wish I lived in a country like Australia!
Death Quiverous well said
Come on over mate, we've got plenty of room in Aussie for ya :)
Death Quiveros: You'll be very safe ........ very few guns here and they are mostly used crim vs crim. We don't however have any of your Southern Rock ...... makes me envious of the States!
australia is fast becoming little america so perhaps not ...
Darth Quiverous I don't think AC/DC is underrated. :)
This song gets me every time. l dont know what it is... the chords.... James haunting voice. l get goosebumps every time. Just amazing.
Just before i read your comment about goose bumps - i got it - just as i was reading haha
very underrated Australian band aussie crawl are fucken classics
Fuckin oath, a personalized one-off voice that most thought was Blind Melon Chitlin with a speach impederment , some lyrics I still dont know but easiest songs to wing it. True muso's , happy to play,fuck,drink and being HAMMERHEADS, was always doomed to have more HITS than music but they didnt care , the dragon chasers. But love em none the less
i went to a concert many years ago jimmy barnes and james reyne where both playing, 2 people ive always wanted to see in concert, was a bonus both where there... jimmy barnes was the draw card... but for performance james reyne won the crowd over tenfold... since then jimmy barnes is a has been
Full Moon Lobster!
I fucken rate them!!
Don't be so Brexit
Mr James Reyne. One of Australia's greatest songwriters. Reckless is simply sublime. World class songwriting and production.
The haunting nature of the vocal and melody is just brilliant
And Simon Binks’ chords and solo are sublime
Wasn’t it Marky’s work of art?
Born in Sydney 1981, Croatian background. I got to experience 2 worlds., central eastern Europe & Australia , living in Croatia now. Im so proud to b born in Sydney and these Oz songs will follow me forever. Had some awesome times in Australia, definetely special , great beaches ,weather & festivals , good food and beer , great wine !! Cheers to all of you down under and thank you 🌼☘🙏
Hvala tomislav 👌🏻
Kako ti ide u domovini.
@@eddybulich3309 evo ide, zadovoljan jako u Zagrebu. Bilo bi ljepše da nema korone 🌞
Kako tebi u Australiji Eddy ???
Cheers mate!
Kako ti ide doma , I’m Cro born in Korcula we came to Aus in 63 I was 7 years old , grew up with all the great Australian bands and the pub scene in the 70 and 80 , Good to be here in Australia but will never forget my heritage blood and my domovinu , Pozdrav Tomo , Jure From Sydney
My nephew got James to play at his wedding reception- what a treat that was - he is a terrific performer.
bloody hell! thats brilliant!!
That would have been amazingly beautiful ❤️😍
Is your nephew a multi millionaire?
@@TimmyTickle yes
Not only is this one of the best Australian songs ever written, the instrumentals that come in the recording are unforgettable. The bashing drum reminds me of the ferry punching waves across the harbour, and the crying guitars carry so much emotion. Just a beautiful piece.
It’s sad that music will never be as good as this
2022 and I'm still here.. i remember the first time i heard this song and its still as good as it was back then, it will be so hard for any artist in todays world to replicate any thing like the Aussies masterpieces from this era
People may say that Australian Crawl was an underrated band but in NZ they were already successful with their Track "Down Hearted" off the The Boys Light Up Album echoing across the ditch . . . . . . Their follow up's didn't disappoint us either! They are in fact, quite an Iconic Band of the early 80's Movement to both Countries. 🍻🍻✌
They weren’t under rated. They won tons of popularity awards 40 years ago
James Reyne has written plenty of brilliant tracks - this is not only one of his best - but arguably the best Australian song of the early eighties !!
I did the whole backpacking in Australia thing back in the 90s (from Canada). Working at the Avon Factory and hearing this every day on the radio they played on the speakers.
I love it.
The gentle guitar in the background is so crystalline and soothing... such a timeless song.
The soundtrack to my childhood was the best I could have hoped for.
I'm 62 and have always loved this. So Aussie
Hey
I've just turned 60
I'm so kiwi
We are going to be retiring soon what do you think
Music will never be like it was before. Thankfully, there are those classic hits that allow us to travel back in time and make us feel happy again. This sound echoes and is timeless.
Being a teen and hearing these types songs, had to be a effen great era
The 70s and 80s was a great time to be a teenager, we lived in a golden age.
Indeed it was....
My deceased sister had this tape when I was young. I used To sneak into her room and play her tapes and dance. We are nine years apart.
She died on my bday three years ago
I'm 41
Nostalgia pura !! Deixa um like quem curte essa banda AINDA
Deep blue skies, eucalyptus trees, innocence. Pure innocence. This song always takes me back. An Australian classic. I could listen to this forever...
Algum br aqui escutando essa maravilha ?🙋♂️
One of the best songs ever written, timeless and an Aussie classic💗
É nois queroz
Vim pelo death note
Eu aqui querido 🙋♀️☺️💛
Ouvi no rádio e lembrei de procurar...
Ouço desde sempre e vou ouvir até o dia que a morte levar-me para seu repouso eterno
James Reyne, you are the man! you are the only man who managed to express the utter loneliness/helpless feelings in words "Like Scott in the Antartic base camp too far away, Russian Sub in the Artic, Burke and Wills and camels initial in the tree“ and that guitar solo, that just finish off with absolute perfection!!!
Love this song, so many memories especially of my brother who passed away in 1988.
+Ted Owen ... lost my brother in 1986, still feel it today.....
Ted and Disey im so very sorry for both of your losses, i know 100% how you both feel now and when they both left your lives, why do i know so so well ??? cause my beautiful brother david left me 8 years ago, and my god do i miss him, best wishes, jamie

Music is a time machine. It takes us back and memories flood in. This song especially.
Ted Owen n
Manooo, lembro-me da minha juventude,onde meus amigos e eu ouvimos esse som na esquina de casa,as 01:30 da manhã,mas por incrível que pareça, não incomodava os vizinhos, pois ficávamos curtindo o som e conversando sobre nosso trabalho, futebol, passeio final de semana etc..
Caramba, chegou a doer o peito de saudades agora 😢😢😢
One of the best songs ever written, timeless and an Aussie classic💗
Classic Aussie rock the world will never have this talent again
Classic Aussie rock the world will never have this talent again
No it won’t 🙁❤️
This is the best song to listen to after coming back from the Herb Shop in Nevada ! We went out in the desert and played this outside over and over again ! Thanks again Australia you rule ! Wish I could trade you places
no herb shops over here though mate.
It's turning in to an increasingly more heartless and selfish shithole. Don't let a little 80s nostalgia song fool you.
thanks mate
David Stubbs plenty of room in Oz a beautiful place to live. I saw them live in 83 and again in the mid 80’S another 3 times fantastic band
We'll take ya mate. Just don;t touch the Koalas!
Mr Inbetween bought me here,class tune from a class show.
Heard this for the first time yesterday in BBC Radio 6 music show. What a gem ,not sure how I've never come across this song before.
a total Oz classic - total Sydney
The first song I heard as a kid in the early 80s...and recognised he was actually singing about my city. Special memory.
Manly born too
I feel privileged to have grown up to a soundtrack of Australian pub rock
Timeless Aussie song... Thanks from across the ditch 👍🇳🇿
One of the best songs ever written, timeless and an Aussie classic💗
13 yrs later... shut your mouth
Hi jenn
This track is awesome opening with just vocals, bass and drums. How did I miss this in the 80s. I came across this song just watching the movie Death Note. Just hauntingly beautiful. Beautiful voice
1980s childhood soundtrack for aussie and kiwi kids, ❤️❤️❤️
I am in Australia at this moment on vacation from the U.S. Music doesn't get any better than this!!!!!!
holidays.
I owned a car radio shop at this time. I'd fitted 4 power amps and a huge array of Pioneer speakers in my Sandman. I remember doing 160kph with a crowd onboard as we motored to Willunga surfing. All the windows were down and I had a very loud dual exhaust on the V8 but all you could hear was music.. and no S Elaine it doesn't get better
+Edwin Henry Blachford you shouldn't have been so reckless
+Edwin Henry Blachford you shouldn't have been so reckless
Edwin Henry Blachford Omg i am so jealous. The sandman is my dream car.
Australian Crawl is fucking legendary!
A classic song which brings back a lot of memories
Grew up with this song in OZ - it made such an impact on me that as adult singer/songwriter I had to put my version of it on my second studio album.
IT IS STILL SO BLOODY POWERFUL IN 2021!!
James Reyne roxxxxx!! 😘😘🤘🤘
History repeats itself, this song is just as fitting today as I'm sure it was back then.
What's this song about?
my very favorite Australian song for its simplicity and execution
Don't be distracted by the fact this is an 80s tune. It reflects true beauty and is timeless.. but yet.. a reminder of an old Australia, a patriotic, proud one, unlike today.
too right mate
Still a few true patriots about I was only a kid in the 80's but I'm about as nationalist as ya get
Hang on, gave away what to who? Australia was stolen from the aborigines only 230 years ago. White Australia has such a short history, you guys are all morons.
patriotism - violent white supremacists
Too bloody true
Great song. Very haunting for me now as the one I love is no longer amongst us. Lord I miss her so much. I guess somethings never change.
chin up mate.
Sorry
My condoleances. I wish you the best.
I hope your doing well Dennis mate.
God loves you Dennis ✝️🙏
I'm English born and moved to Australia but now live in NZ but still have a heartfelt love of Australia
Lyrics
Meet me down by the jetty landing
Where the the pontoons bump and sway
I see the others reading, standing
As the Manly Ferry cuts its way to Circular Quay
Hear the Captain blow his whistle
So long she's been away
I miss our early morning wrestle
Not a very Happy way to start the day
She don't like
That kind of behaviour
She don't like
That kind of behaviour
So, throw down your guns
Don't be so reckless
Throw down your guns
Don't be so
Feel like Scott of the Antarctic
Base camp too far away
A Russian sun beneath the Arctic
Burke and Wills and camels
Initials in the tree
She don't like
That kind of behaviour
She don't like
That kind of behaviour
So, throw down your guns
Don't be so reckless
Throw down your guns
Don't be so

I imagine this song being played on a cassette player inside my road cruiser while sunset driving in the Outback... this thought alone brings tears to my eyes :')
Rafe Archer Perhaps a Monaro LS or LTD :)
777Jerry Statesman here...
I even wonder if that song inspired Prince while writing 'Purple Rain' :)
Still playing it on Bluetooth camped up in the Kimberly on my own at the dead of night I can feel the spirits dancing all around me lol
I have to admit, I never really rated Australian Crawl, but in the last few years I realise how wrong I was....an extraordinary band that changed Aus music forever...love them so much.
Love Aussie music back then❤❤
The solo is a true masterpiece, very difficult to get it just right.
Takes me back to hot summer days, mullet haircuts and flannlette check shirts (sigh) those were the days.
Anja Paulley They still are :)
Same here 👍
we need to rediscover the mullet and Make Australia Great Again!
Yep that was me
Australia is still great, it's just changing. More inclusiveness, more equality...@@racketman2u
My mother left my farther and moved to a shitty flat in Toowoomba 1984...I was 5..she used to come to the house and try and steel us kids...Dad would take us and hide us in the house.... she had a untreated mental disorder...I`m haunted by her pain....when I used to stay at this flat alone this song would come on this little radio by a old dirty fridge....I can still smell the place....still to this day I can`t see or hear this song through any other vain....some times I think the feelings are bigger than me.....
Jesus Christ...A river of hate...what the hell happened to you?..were do you get off talking to someone like that?..oh one thing more..if you and I were face to face and you spoke to me like that...I would set you straight..no two ways about it....
never read something I hope Is so honest, mad respectz bro
even if it was a lie, that aint the right response.
what if he was the 1 in a million, and your fucked up comment sent him over the edge. fuck you.
sly in an out like u do you fucking sly fox
this song reminds me of my late father. rip Dad
+Cameron Benner Mine, too. R.I.P they all.
My Australian husband introduced this song for me and I love it!
You're bleeding out at night in an alleyway after a mugging gone wrong. You hear this song being blasted a block away. You look up in the sky, you think you can see stars. Thoughts of your family and friends pass through your mind. The faint outline of the stars are what you hold in your mind, waiting, waiting.
This song is sooooo Australian, brooding and moody.
One of Australia's best bands ever!
Eu vivi os melhores anos das nossas vidas. Com músicas de qualidade. Volta infância....
Will never get old this song
Aussie music def underrated. Growing up in New Zealand we were big into Ausi Crawl, Jimmy Barnes, Inxs, Men at Work and many more. It has been such a big part of life... you forget to stop and listen to the lyrics.. Reminds me of who I am :) Now with this Covid 19 and lockdown with the Anzac music on the telly, seeing all these band age.. Makes you realise you have too.
Remember sitting on the tailgate at the drive ins when this was played during breaks! Aussie GOLD.
Married to an aussie guy who was grew up in 80’s makes me so proud and happier. My hubby sent me This song along with other aussie bands his fav like acdc and many more and I’m all over the moon already 😍
This song was such a big hit in the 80s that it is etched in my brain; I amuse my better half by admonishing our cats "she don't like that kind of behaviour! don't be so reckless!" whenever their antics threaten to break something i.e. almost daily.
Being Born in the 80’s, I was born too late to appreciate 80’s music when it came out.
"Initials in the tree"
And I'm bawling.
:(
RIP Brad Robinson
It doesn't take much ... lines from a song, some unrelated memory, images from the past ... I've heard this hundreds of times and I'm still choked up every time.
A true Oz classic great music, from a kiwi fan
Sorry, I have not much of the band background, who was the Kiwi? Thanks :)
James Reyne was born in Nigeria and moved to Australia in the 60's. Not sure where the Kiwi comes into it.
Reimer Freitag
Hi what i should have said is from a kiwi fan,love this song..
Hi Phil what i should have said is,from a kiwi fan,love this song..
falconia1 You shouldn't have had to say that at all, that made perfect sense
Best thing about Aussie rock being underrated is when you are overseas, you can drop a tonne of amazing songs like this
Westie living in Colombia, I get free drinks at the local bar everytime I show them a new song like this
I remember this song driving to my Nan's funeral when I was 14. . My brother and I had a cassette deck in the back of dad's car playing all the greatest hits tape for that year. 1985
Brad Robinson was my uncle and it's already been 21 years since he pass away R.I.P Brad
Jed Hall really bro? R.i.p legend
rip a bong for old brad
Kieran Carr Yeah cheers bro it’s crazy how long it’s been
❤️2021 clássica
I feel like more attention needs to be paid to Australian music, and not just music, but Australian art in general. By art I don't just mean painting alone but also film, literature, music, performing arts, dancing... we produce some of the most idiosyncratic, original and unique perspectives of life. These perspectives are shaped by our unique country, our intrinsic connection to the land and our Indigenous population. International audiences should take notice, we can produce art as good as Europe and North America, we just need the funds to support our endeavours. Not to mention we need to start supporting our artists and filmmakers, instead of simply paying attention solely to the work that comes out of America. Buy a ticket to an Australian film as often as possible. If you feel creative, put your mind to it. This kind of eerie, spine-tingling music by Australian Crawl is just some of the meaningful brilliance we, as a country, can produce.
I agree with your sentiment to a degree. Here in Canada we play second fiddle to the US in those same artistic endeavours. There is a brilliant wealth of music, art and film talent to be discovered in every country, not just the USA. Not sure why every measuring stick of success is gauged by American recognition...
@@robertplante8858 I think it's because they're so pushy, egotistical, loud mouthed, overbearing and in your face. They see that as the key to success ... apart from Bruce Springsteen, Johnny Cash, Bob Dylan and a handful of others from the earlier years I'm not a fan of American music. But I do love your Canadian singer-songwriters, like Gordon Lightfoot, Chantal Kreviazuk, Bryan Adams, Neil Young, Joni Mitchell ... they're up there with the best.
Love this song, so many memories especially of my brother who passed away in 1988.
Classic Aussie rock the world will never have this talent again
My fav aussie group..still listening in 2019
Thank God l grew up in the 70s and 80s with classics like this. Instead of whatever the rubbish that passes for music is these days.
Epic snare.
Yeah!
Mentor Ejupi
they dont make em like they used to
They certainly don't.
mate I agree...4 years later lol
The rock bands that came out of Australia were some of the worlds best well ahead of there time very awesome😎
I absolutely love this song
The year my daughter was born this song was on the radio regularly, it made me change my ways and think of how much I had to look forward too.
40 years on this song is still epic
Drinking Grant's Whiskey at 8yrs old....smoking a bowl at 1 in the morning..great older brothers I had 😁 The best!!! Love NZ and Oz🇳🇿🇭🇲
Reckless!!! The best of Australian Crawl !!!
This is the only style of music that makes me feel Australian.
1980s Aussie Rock only does it.
Its so good.
I saw the movie Death Note earlier tonight, this song was the introducing track; I was captivated by it. Looked for this song right after seeing the movie. I am socked that this is not a recent record. I have never listened to an Aussie songs before as I am Jamaican 🇯🇲 love this song.
A true Oz classic great music, from a kiwi fan
this song reminds me of my late father. rip Dad
I literally spent ages trying to find this song only just knowing the tune and my quest actually paid off:)
I love it when it pays off. Nice one!
Just heard radio and ' reckless throw down your gun ' google just that and found the song.
Eu sinto uma paz interior quando escuto essa música!!!!!
Amo essa musica pra sempre!!!
A perfect song arranged and recorded flawlessly.
Forever powerful...
Heartfelt & meaningful.
This track will always remind me of my upbringing in Manly.
Never gets old.
It's never to late , to try something new , that's old , love it my 27 year old son made me hear it , can't get enough .... Don't be afraid to go back , Middle Man .... DAD .. Thanks JR. I love you ...
I may only be 24 (nearly 25) but I have to say it's bands like Australian Crawl, Cold Chisel and AC/DC that make me proud to be an Aussie.
Funny shit, you just named 2 bunch of scots (till the 1 englishman relaced bon scott), acdc and barnes, and a nigerian james rayne. You got something against kiwis, or something
rahowhero No I just know great Aussie band when I hear them and Australian Crawl, Cold Chisel and AC/DC are three of the greatest Australian bands of all time.
Inxs??? Paul Kelly... eurogliders there is so many Icehouse ...
Nice name young fella
To right the mate Aussie pride
