Beds Are Burning was the next single off of Midnight Oil’s first album, Diesel and Dust. This tune put the Australian band on the charts and held them up there ever given that. In 2001, the Australian Accomplishing Proper Association named it the Finest Australian Track of all time. The video was taped in the course of a dwell efficiency at the Collectively At Property 70s Fantasy Concert. I imagine it would be harmless to say that it has been since remastered.
The song was prepared to attract consideration to and to criticize the way that the Aboriginal tribes in Australia had been staying handled, from the dismal living situations and wellness care to the point that the Aboriginals were staying forced off their lands (sound acquainted?).
