Many bands would make a great noise about passing a
momentous milestone like their 20th Anniversary. There'd be
TV specials, special video compilations, 3 CD boxed sets,
brass plaques, tickertape parades, free concerts in the
park, that kind of thing. But Midnight Oil -- the band that
has made a career out of making noise about so many
important things and has so much to show for 20 incredible
years -- chose to let the occasion pass without particular
fanfare.

So, if Midnight Oil are the reluctant birthday boys, let us
now be the insistent revelers who force them to at least
participate in the celebrations, acknowledge the speeches
and blow out a few candles. Here is a band, after all, who
have defied all musical fashions to create ten
extraordinary albums (an More...

    Review about Midnight Oil

    fire | Reviewer: Tony
        ------ About the song Beds are Burning performed by Midnight Oil

    the song is about returning stolen lands in Australia to the aboriginies. 45 dgrees is indeed in celcius and is the temp of the desert at its peak. The line above "Fire will scare the cockatoos" is wrong however. The real lyrics is "Four wheels scares the cockatoos"

    T


    forty five degrees | Reviewer: Joe
        ------ About the song Beds are Burning performed by Midnight Oil

    A note about the lyrics - where it mentions "forty five degrees", that's probably Celsius, which is the temperature scale used in Australia and most other countries outside the U.S. That works out to 113 degrees Fahrenheit.


    A Protest Song too! | Reviewer: Allie (fellow rock lover)
        ------ About the song Beds are Burning performed by Midnight Oil

    I love this song, and have always loved it from the time I first heard it, but I never knew it was a protest song until today and it really hits home now!g Giving native Australian lands back to the Pintupi Aborigines is totally a cause worth writing a song for!!!
    Katie, I shun rap as well. It is NOT music nor can it be called singing! It disgraces the music industry. Remember: Country + Rap = CRAP. But rap makes up 3/4 of that!


    ROCK ON!!! | Reviewer: Katie (rock N roll lover)
        ------ About the song Beds are Burning performed by Midnight Oil

    This is my FAVORITE song!!! I love Rock N Roll more than anything!!! and i shun rap!!! SHUN!!!!
    I have no idea if this song was about a child's death, or Australia or what ever, but keep playing rock and i'll be happy :)


    he's right | Reviewer: Anonymous
        ------ About the song Beds are Burning performed by Midnight Oil

    this song has nothing to do with a child's death...mauricio is right, it is about the Aboriginal people of Australia and how when the English settlers colonised Australia, they stole all the Aboriginals land and "native title". The song is protesting to try and get the government to return the land to the Native people of Australia.


    I miss this | Reviewer: jenny
        ------ About the song A Crocodile Cries performed by Midnight Oil

    why don't more bands put instrumentals on there albums any more they show us that the band is more than the singer and you all have heart and something to say.


    I love this one | Reviewer: jenny
        ------ About the song One Country performed by Midnight Oil

    AI have been a fan of yours from the fist time i heard you in the 1980's you carry a message in all your songs but this is the one well there are so many that speak they all do but for me this is us i knew in the 1980 when you and icehouse the next big thing's but for some reason they just miss you guys here were dense and dumb here i guess


    Very fantastic song | Reviewer: Anonymous
        ------ About the song Antartica performed by Midnight Oil

    this song has a vibrante and undimising staure of fellow words knowledge.


    Midnight Oil's Power and the Passion | Reviewer: Alex
        ------ About the song Power and the Passion performed by Midnight Oil

    Best band from this country ever... Wish the whole world could hear all the songs from these earlier albums: Head Injuries, Place without a Postcard, 10...9...8...., Diesels and Dust. But look them up on a site like Limewire and what do you find? Lots of "Beds are Burning"... which is almost a popsong and top 10 hit...Shame.... Almost everything else they did early in their career was and is much much better than that.


    i love it | Reviewer: alyce
        ------ About the song A Crocodile Cries performed by Midnight Oil

    i really like this song. the lyrics are fab. a credit to you for writing this i owe you big time mate. call mee


    Are you crazy? | Reviewer: Mauricio
        ------ About the song Beds are Burning performed by Midnight Oil

    This is a great political song about giving native Australian lands back, not about a child's death.


    emily wilson | Reviewer: Anonymous
        ------ About the song Beds are Burning performed by Midnight Oil

    did you know that in the 1980s some guy lit his child on fire and he died that is what this songs about they raised money for him by making this song awwwwww so sad .....


    co-written with Dakuta. | Reviewer: JJJ
        ------ About the song Gravelrash performed by Midnight Oil

    This classic seems to have been written with some of the past/present members all offering something special to the mix.
