Показать описание

Produced and Directed by Andrew Doherty for AJD Films.

I’m going to the river with dad
In the kitchen the old kettle’s singing
I’m gonna get up soon and get out of bed
Outside the cockatoos are calling
I’m going to the river with dad
I’m half awake and half dreaming

Now we’re driving down that old, bumpy track
Between us the thermos of sweet tea steaming
Lines and spears and bait up the back
That old river appearing and disappearing
I’m going to the river with dad
All my brothers and sisters are still sleeping

We’re going for the good silver mullet
At the back of the boat I’m steering
Dad’s standing up front with his spear
Deep into the mangroves peering
I gotta keep my tiller hand steady
I don’t wanna see my daddy stumbling and falling
I’m going down the river with dad
With the song of the birds in the morning

He’s long gone, I’ve passed his span
But myself against him I’m still measuring
Aiming for the mark of a man
Sometimes hitting it, sometimes missing
Trying to fill the unforgiving minute
With the full sixty seconds of living
Yeah, I’m still on the river with dad
With the birdsong bringing the dawn in

This. This song is why I love Paul's music. Happy. Sad. Melancholy. Bewildered. Joyful. Wistful. I'm there with him. I'm experiencing it as he tells the tale. Every time he tells the story. His memories. Those moments. All that was, still with us. The universal feelings we all share - or wished we could. Thank you Paul. Another classic for the ages.

Ich lernte die Musik von Paul Kelly in den 80er Jahren kennen und lieben, als ich viel Zeit in Australien verbrachte. In Deutschland bis heute ziemlich unbekannt, sind Freunde immer wieder überrascht, was für eine wunderbare Musik aus meinen Lautsprechern kommt, wenn ich Paul Kelly abspiele. Ich freue mich, dass ihm und seiner tollen Band wieder so gutes Album gelungen ist!

My dad wasn't a fisher, but I've got the work bench he built with me standing proudly in my new shed. I think of him every time I walk up to it. I've got a new song to play in the shed now. Thanks Paul. (And if you do read this, Paul, his first shed in this country was in Appila. That town name should ring a bell!)

What's to be said? Awesome. Is that enough? Not nearly. But that was the first word that jumped in. Thank you Paul.

Peter's drumming is flawless as always.

Paul, this song is like a prayer. A loving father remains a close and large presence all through life. I can still feel the hand of mine, tousling my hair. Go raibh maith agat!
