Um, the people singing that aren't Neil Finn - I can't understand a word of it.....

I'm not sure how the Strawbs can remind anyone in a good way.

Man, I thought this was new Crowded House at first!  {#Good-vibes}  I'd recognize Neil's voice anywhere.

an amazing song.  One of the members of this band, Geoffrey Gurumul Yunupingu, came out with an amazing album a couple of years ago.  would love to see him and more Yothu Yindi on RP.

How cool to hear sth from/with Neil Finn on RP that I've not heard anywhere else before.

Great song. 8.

Wow, this was great! Never heard of them before - too bad it looks like it's hard to buy the track.

This is why I listen to RP, for the stuff I've never heard before. Thanks

Thanks for playing Yothu Yindi!  Loved one of their other CDs and played it all the time.

I really enjoy this song. Probably because I hear it so rarely. The groove and harmonics just get me.

Always brings to my mind Galarrwuy Yunupingu, one of Australias' Living National Treasures.
As such, a great song for all Australians.

Neil's and Yothu's voices seem to compete in this track rather than compliment each other. Kind of ruins it for me.

Yothu Yindi = Indigenous for child and mother. Radio Paradise goes Aboriginal!

Sweet, oh so sweet seque. That is one of Bill's greatest talents (other than getting us all here for this musical party)!

And on we go . . .

This song is actually better without Neil Finn, hard as that is to believe . . .


Actually the song popped out for me when I heard his voice. otherwise the song was nice... as a background.

I think I agree. He has too much presence/legacy.. kind of disturbs the song.
edit, I'll take this back. After repeated listening, it has really grown on me.

Fantastic to hear Yothu Yindi on RP !

They toured Europe 1993-99 and put on some great shows ! Unfortunately haven't seen much of them since their performance at the Olympic closing ceremony in Sydney.

Neil Finn is good of course and I understand the intention, but the song is bad...

All for giving something new a chance, but I'm on the singing-being-flat side of the fence.

Holy cow! I never expected to hear YY here... Wow.

Are they still around?

For those who are not familiar with Yothu Yindi, they are an aboriginal group out of Australia...
