I heard this song a couple of days ago.. a lovely, sad memorial song…
Here’s what the artist had to say about it –
“My Dad died at the beginning of 2011 which coincided with the biggest floods Brisbane has seen. This was something that loomed pretty large for me over the whole writing period of ‘Departures’ and I suppose a song like this was bound to come out. The lyric is talking about the place in Brisbane where I grew up. Toowong, a near city suburb that my Dad also spent his childhood in and ended up being buried in, along with my older brother, who I now happen to be older than. ” Bernard Fanning. Taken from the forthcoming new album ‘Departures’
Beautiful song… I loved the old childhood movie stuff as well. Have you ever watched someone else’s home movies, or looked through random old photos? I used to trawl through the junk shops, looking for treasures.. among then were often abandoned photos, of people that I’d never met.. I find them fascinating.
Aren’t we all so similar? It doesn’t matter what clothes we wear, what year we’re in, what we know, or say, or believe… we’re all the same, in so many ways. Living life.. squabbling with the siblings.. eating a picnic, or running along the beach. Smiling for the camera. Being human. We all live..love..laugh..or mourn.
Same..

Mmmm, yes. I love our sameness. The places where we are all the same – that’s where I live. ❤
Love this post. Nice video (he has a good voice) and love the way it lead to the sameness in all of us.
