Midnight Oil: Beds Are Burning

A massive hit for Midnight Oil, "Beds Are Burning" is a potent outcry for the aboriginal cause and territory in Austrlia with lead singer/composer Peter Garrett demanding reparations to their stolen lands. Extensively filmed in the outback, showing fantastic landscapes along with some effects during the group's performance inside a track interspersed with their visit to some poor communities as well, the song truly sells Australia to the world in a vast and spectacular manner. Desert, nature, roads, mountains alligned with the group's magnificent protest and solid rock soung. One of their finest efforts from their magnum opus album "Diesel and Dust", which had "Dreamworld" as one of the tracks and also had a great music video directed by Andrew de Groot - who directs this one as well. 9/10.
