The Cruel Sea - This is Not the Way Home | Live in Sydney | Moshcam

--------------------------

The Cruel Sea performing This is Not the Way Home live at Metro Theatre in Sydney on 13 February 2008

After toying with different band members, The Cruel Sea came into fruition in 1988 with the union of Ken Gormley on bass, Jim Elliot on drums, Dan rumour on Guitars and James Cruikshank on Keyboards and Guitars.

The Cruel Sea's latest effort, Where There's Smoke, is arguably one of their best yet. Its sense of broadness demonstrates the talent that The Cruel Sea have gained since growing from their roots. The members of The Cruel Sea agree that the recording of this album in the laid back bush environment of the North Coast was an enjoyable and relaxing experience for all. This satisfaction permeates its way through the songs on the album making it one of The Cruel Sea's most satisfying albums to date.

the Cruels created a new genre with this track

Ever seen, or heard a work of art (good or bad), a painting, poem, book, music, architecture, so on, that you hadn't previously heard about? Hadn't read a review, or been recommended to you, etc? That blew you away?
That's how I first heard this song, on fm radio, driving out bush with a couple mates.
Mostly, for me, a clip is just a distraction to the music.
This however, is a masterpiece,  a rare combination where the visuals not only complement, but magnify the effect of the song. Must add that it's played and recorded superbly. Pure Australiana.
By coincidence, this brought to life something I was recently reading about, the ancient Greek Gods. In particular, Dionysos. God of "wine women and song", sort of, among other things. Who travelled the world with his troop of maenads, nymphs, and other assorted women.
Thanks for the upload Moshcam, I just love it.

Thought he was too drunk to sing at first..
I'm sure he told the Girls to just dance don't touch at least 5 times..

[TimeTraveller]

I like listening to Greg Perkins singing with no volume on my speakers.
