I was awake all night in the SE USA to watch Steve Irwin’s Memorial LIVE as John sang this song & was immediately hooked. I played it for my preschool class almost daily after that & they loved it. In the US, I compare the sentiment to ‘Find Out Who Your Friends Are’ by Tracy Lawrence. John’s song has a smoother sound, but Tracy’s song hits the heart in a similar way:)🙏🇺🇸🙏🇦🇺

I used to laugh at this song as an America-worshiping, 90s Aussie teenager. I now greatly admire the man’s authenticity. In a sea of Aussies faking US accents, Williamson stands tall and proud, unashamedly showcasing our unique drawl. I love our American friends and the amazing musical canon they’ve gifted the world. But Aussies must be proud of our own cultural identity.

I love this song for what it was, I fear its not the Australia of today!

For non-Australians who don’t know much about slang here/ “Hey True Blue, don’t say you’re gone. Say you’ve knocked off for a smoko and you’ll be back later on…” You can call someone who has a genuine heart True Blue. But the lines make me cry because instead of them being gone you wished they’d just stepped outside for smoke break and they’re coming back after. This is a great song for the funeral of someone who was always authentic and real, a true person.

Wow. Life in the bush can be pretty good. Amazing photograhy. Dont forget the CWA. And as for the volunteer fire fighters. These bush fires have been horrendous. Love and prayers to everyone affected.
