Beds are Burning
I just watched an incredible video/song on YouTube - a remake of Midnight Oil's classic tune, Beds are Burning.
Kind of reminds me of Do They Know It's Christmas, release two days after my 20th birthday, a few centuries ago.
Sadly, both songs essentially focus on the same thing, 25 years apart. Kind of makes you wonder why we aren't making much progress.
Beds are Burning features an internatioal all star cast, including Kofi Annan, Fergie, Midnight Oil, Serena Ryder and Lilly Allen. There is even one singer on Beds are Burning that was featured on Do The Know it's Christmas - go figure. None other than Simon Lebon from Duran Duran. Good on him!
This song also reminds me of another incredible Midnight Oil tune - Blue Sky Mining. Check out those lyrics - talk about why we are in trouble today!
