Neil Murray’s life and work will remain relevant while ever Australians ask the question - what in truth does it mean to call Australia home? - Martin Flanagan, The Age
Maverick songman Neil Murray originally sprang from Victoria’s western district, but in the late 1970’s with guitar in hand he set course for the Northern Territory. He emerged at Papunya in 1980 as a founding member of the pioneering Warumpi Band, which over three albums (Big Name No Blankets, Go Bush and Too much Humbug) and twenty years of performing thrust contemporary indigenous music into mainstream Australia, yielding such classic songs as My Island Home, Blackfella Whitefella, Fitzroy Crossing, Jailanguru Pakarnu, Stompin Ground, From The Bush and Waru.
He has since become one of Australia’s finest singer/songwriters, enjoying a solo career since 1989. He has released a remarkable string of albums - the latest being THE TELLING.

Voodoo Chile with Matt Walker
Переглядів 3522 роки тому
This a live performance from 2016 at the Grandview Hotel, in Fairfield, Victoria, accompanied by guitar wizard Matt Walker on lap slide, I wanted to give Jimi Hendrix's cosmic "Voodoo Child" a different approach. It was shot on a phone and although the footage is ok, the audio could've done with a bit more vocal. Still, you get the drift.

Living from our soul :)
I have heard it said recently that the Aboriginal people are the "first" humans. With this in mind, all of their ancient wisdom and all of their vast spiritual knowledge for "real" life was not part of the agenda (the plan) that the low vibrational beings had for humanity- which is where we have landed-oppression, control, manipulation, greed, narcissism, lies, corruption and the list goes on. We are going to rise out of this (and are) and live the way we were all meant to with TRUTH, FREEDOM, HUMILITY, LOVE, CREATIVITY and SOVEREIGNTY. XXX
Kids just brought a house in Broome just got back from a months holiday there it’s 2024 ..and still GOOD LIGHT IN BROOME ☮️☀️🇦🇺🧜🏽♀️
Brilliant song!
What a great song about an amazing man.
Post Truth in this song. Emotions and feelings over riding facts.
There is no 's' in Hay Plain!
Annandale Hotel (1989 ?) ..great pub gig by Neil. Thanks!
😢
wow this is great
Beautiful, sad song, Neil.
Thanks Neil, Great Australian Singer, Songwriter!
Greetings from a old fart over in South Africa, love this song, when i worked i spent a lot of time traveling away from home, and this song resonates with me about my wife of 40 yrs, it's our song, i play and sing it to her regularly, Thanks Neil
As I'm listening to this song, I think of the Palestinian people
What a great songwriter. Heartbreaking honesty.
Truth telling song by Neil, thanks for your caring.
Post Truth.
Just a utter tragedy Truganini 😔 colonial flag flaps lazy in the breeze Beautifully crafted Neil
Sadly beautiful
We saw the amazing Truganini apparition at Madame Tussauds wax museum in Sydney many years ago.. 👣 she was incredible and lifelike
Love this song. ❤
Marrungbu Nyura Uncle & Aunty 🖤💛❤️🙏
One of the greatest songs ever written.
This is such a great song by one of Australia’s finest songwriters. Thanks Neil for sharing this, and for all the great songs you’ve given us over the years
Love this stripped down version 🙏
Sweet song.
Fabulous show words calm and crystal clear nice mix harmonium tops.. a therapeutic song…. No use being too angry…
Keep the Aussie "flag" waving, Neil. Love your work.
I'll always have a special fascination for Warumpi Band and Neil Murray
The audio is fantastic👣🙌 but seem to have a black screen, if you want to check out the visual at your end🧐🤔
El rock australiano marcó una epoca inolvidable en los 80s y 90s, llegando al continente americano y sonar sus lindas rolas en muchos lugares, esta cancion de neil murray la escuche por primera vez y quede sorprendido de como hace mas de 20 años habia una magnifica rola calm and crystal clear
Porfavor agradeceria mucho que escriban la letra de esta gran cancion, y poder traducirla automaticamente con la opcion de youtube y entender lo que canta, es una gran rola, son artistas infravalorados en este lado del mundo
Great songs Neil
Keep rolling
Great respect for Neil's work. And his respect for first peoples in this place. Enjoyed seeing Neil perform a few times at the Woodford Folk festival
Saw you play in Warberton a few yeras ago, have always love your music, this track and Big truck my fave. Now living in Thailand and playing your songs to the locals.
*_I have worked in the media for 37 years, including working with the biggest names in show-business and entertainment from across the globe, and THIS is the greatest Australian song ever written.... thank you, Neil Murray._*
It is indeed an absolute classic
The first squatters arrive here in 1837. In 1851 Victoria’s Chief Protector of Aboriginals, A G Robinson, passes by where the Whyte brothers had killed 17 First People and notes Chief Timber-room on Burrumpeep Hill shouting ‘This country belonga to me! My country!’ His people send smoke signals from the hill to communicate with others. Twenty-five years later only about 40 of his people remain. Some were shot, others poisoned and all the emu are gone, sheep and cattle have trampled native fruit and vegetables. The last of the tribe were seen in 1868, one old man, his wife, two girls and two young men described as ‘looking starved.’ They weren’t seen again.
Many injustices like this, there were. Education is the key. Pass on the message carefully. The stories be told, then things can be reconciled. It will happen, it may not happen quickly, but it will happen.
I don’t know this song but I bloody love it. That was awesome. And of everywhere that I’ve driven I think the Hay plains were the most boring of them all 😅.
Plain.
Have loved this song and the whole album since it first came out on cassette
I LOVE you BRUTHA!
*Thank you brother, love this song 👍🎵🎶
