Icehouse - Great Southern Land
 |
||
When "Great Southern Land" was released as the first single from the Primitive Man album in 1982, a video for it was filmed in a disused sandstone quarry in the Kuringai National Park near Sydney. Then, in 1989, when the song met its first release as a single in North America and Europe, a new clip had to be made to accompany the overseas single. This time, the background Australian landscapes were provided by the Myall Lakes National Park on the mid-north coast of New South Wales. As befits the song, both clips were, of course, typically Australian in content, but the earlier one did feature a few Australian native animals, including a large goanna crawling across barren sandy earth. This latter typical Australian had obviously won many fans, since, when the new clip appeared there were quite a few appeals for "the one with the goanna." The result was that both "Great Southern Land" clips had to be included in the commercial video released in 1989. (www.spellbound-icehouse.org)

Could someone help digitalarsesmokescreen out of his predicament here? He's still fighting yesterday's wars and struggling with the English language. Little does he realize that we've all moved on and he's left talking to himself ..LOL

Thats so true about this song making you home sick, but thats how great it is because regardless of the fact that it was written over 20 years ago It still has that timeless effect on people, and thats what makes it so perfect. Not many songs have that effect on people.

It's true. I've been living away from home for a couple of years, and this always makes me miss it.

Warning!!! Don't ever, ever listen to this song when you are away from Australia. It will make you terribly homesick. I've been to over a dozen countries, and there is no better place to live than Australia: Fact!!

Thanks for the clip. This one always reminds me of my deceased uncle. He was a real Icehouse fan and I loved listening with him.

The synth is timeless, I once heard a dj remix the keyboards into a techno track once at a live event and it blew me away! Great song.
