    This is legitimately one of the greatest songs ever written. The lyrics invoke youth and the lusty loss of innocence. Eric's guitar tone and solo's are absolute perfection and Ross crafted this entire song brilliantly. His vocals perfectly fit the lusty, youthful excitement the song's lyrics and overall feel portray. The fact it was filmed at Maroubra Beach, a beach I am familiar with, makes it even cooler. I listen to this song on repeat for hours sometimes. It's a classic among classics. Like I said, one of the greatest songs ever written - certainly one of the best Aussie songs.

  • @leonstone4738
    @leonstone4738 Před 3 hodinami

    Simple fact is that this is one of the top 3 Aussie songs ever! It is as applicable today as it was 40 years ago. Every guys dream then as it is today. One big factor is that Australia is not the same today. Being a teenager in Frankston in the early 1960s was really different, as the town changed, people grew up and moved elsewhere within the Bayside area, Interstate and even over seas. Rolling into the 1970s through to the early 1980s as an adult was a whole different experience. Music like this allows everyone from that Timezone to drift back and reminisce about the old days good and yes no so good, which is life. just dwell on the good things as life is far too short and enjoy. Should be in your early 20s and reading this, it’s a guarantee you shall look back in time, just like us older guys and gals and say, if only and it’s ok if you don’t believe it right now. Just enjoy it while you can. The only advise I shall give you is always love your Mum and respect your Dad, and look after your own family as best you can.

Not being the sharpest tool in the shed, I was pondering all day why she wanted me to help her with her homework. Needless to say, I ended up helping her as regularly as I could once I discovered what was involved. I was a good student :D

    How come I know most all pop radio songs of the 1980's, all I did and lived was music. It's amazing in hindsight, all the amazing eighties music that perhaps was popular in one country and unknown in another, "the universal language" ain't it my .music mates ;-)
