Midnight Oil 'Song a Day' #26 "Luritja Way"



Back from holidays and trying to stay awake for a bit longer!!
The album that grows on you, inspired by the novel "Capricornia" by Xavier Herbert, contains this track that was a staple live track in those solid final Oils years first time around...

Described as a project with some songs the Oils had worked on for years, it felt to me like a final chance to finish them and get them out there... I really liked it but felt the end was close!!!

Anyhow, who ever truly thought they'd be back... not a band fit for the baby boomer 'Day on the Green' nostalgia tours, the Oils would always need something like an ambitious world tour or another huge national disaster or indigenous cause to fire them up!!! The Great Circle perhaps...
