Performed by- Crash Vegas, Hothouse Flowers, Damiel Lanois and band, Midnight Oil and The Tragically Hip

Lyrics: -
They buried me up to my knees in the cold December ground
The cold came up to get me
Blinding me in my land

Land
In my land
Land

I was landed on this moment
Then was given every chance
To form a healing circle
To doin the living dance of my land

Land
My land
Land

Water's not just a purity
Water's not just the key
It's the melody of panic
Feeds the life of mine throughout our land

Land
Throughout our land
Land

But every action has an opposite reaction
But every lie and equal and opposite lie
And every day is an accident waiting to happen
For every life there's ten more waiting in line

But every action has an opposite reaction
For every life there's ten more waiting in line

Cutting all the tall trees down
And I hope you understand
By the time your children come of age
They're gonna scream out, they're gonna moan
They're gonna cry for their

Land
For their
Land

Land
Land

Quote:Water's not just a purity
Water's not just the key
It's the melody of panic
Feeds the life of mine throughout our land

... sends shivers down my spine, everytime...

That song is from Another Roadside Attraction is it not?

This single was produced, written and performed in a combined effort with many other bands. A fund to protect the rainforests of British Columbia.

Shivers... yeah. Tell us everything you think we should know, we'd rather know something about everything...

Cheers,

All those bands played ARA '93 with the Hip....it was an unbelievable time back then.....here's hoping for Another Roadside Attraction '07

yup, from ARA 1993. There was even a video on much music when it came out. Back when Gordie had a full head of hair and a beard.........

Video? wow, that I didn't know......

A "real" music video for the song, or live footage from ARA used as a video?

yeah, i love watching that video, and the heksenketel video, with gord's flowing locks, and sloppy beard. "pimply arse" and my favorite " john cougar mellonhead"

yes and no

If my memory serves me correctly, it was a montage video made of stage performances of different nights, different venues, backstage stuff, clips of the BC forest (Clayoquot), plus I think there were scenes on them on the tour bus working on the song?? Was a long, long time ago I last saw it............
