I'm 72 years old from Michigan in the US. My once little prosperous town like hundreds of others all over the country are wastelands. Struggling to regain financial security that just disappeared. Gone, generations of people's lives destroyed.
One of those songs ya gotta put on repeat...too bloody good! R.I.P Holden ✊🏽
If you’ve ever been retrenched from a job where you have given it your all, you know exactly what this song means
I shed a year or two every time I hear this song.
This song represents a very sad day in Australian history where we lost full ownership of one of our best cars to ever be made which was the Holden.
My heart breaks tremendously every time I hear this song. As I was a Holden girl before they turned to shit.
Jimmy Barnes you have done wonders once again. Your a true Australian icon and forever will be just like the Holden ❤️
I'm 26 years old and grew up with your music as my family love you as I do as well. I will give credit where credit is due. Thank you so much for another extraordinary hit Jimmy ❤️
Green bay Wisconsin is last.
4C's 1999
its good to see our Australian music society is still going strong compared to how the country was great at one stage before governments had there say but still Jimmy Barnes is still going strong giving us great music
This song has a very powerful. Meaning how people felt . When so many people lost their jobs . Great concert Jimmy and Band .😢
The great Jimmy Barnes
This song could play out in any "former" mill town in the USA as well.
Best Australian singer you can listen to👍.
I grew up in Elizabeth n this song really hits home for me.
It's great thankyou ay ay 1858 love loyalty respect...😎
Living legend 🔥💯👌🏾❤️ my grandfather idol
I met him first in Australia in the mid of the 90´s , and then he played in my hometown in Vienna (Austria) and he gave me a signature on my concert-card. Jimmy your music lives on forever!
Such a great song such a sad time good bye Holden you’ve been a good mate your gone but never forgotten

Great song, with so much meaning... Nothing seems to be made at home anymore...
First time I listened to this song the other night and I was sort of speechless... Such a powerful voice
Onya Jimmy. done everyone proud! must of predicted the future with this song! Stay safe everyone!!
This song just hit me. Well done Troy and Jimmy. I’m from working class people and can totally relate. We just want to work with a sense of pride and have some reward at the end of the day.
Hello how are you doing it’s nice meeting you here
Barnes and nobles was my favorite bookstore literally
not one Single Grand Final without listening to Jimmy Barnes. Living Legend! He is singin for the poor fellows to the riches.
Absolutely brilliant Jimmy is a true icon of the Australian music scene Always has and will be a proud Elizabeth boy
Didn’t realise this released this year, thought it was a classic I never heard of before when I caught it on the radio. Well done JB! Brilliant.
Same
Sad but true, Jimmy. Rock on.
👍👍👍👍👍 I thank Joe Bonamassa for exposing me to Mahalia and Jimmy! I love both of them! Can't wait for this new album!!!💖💞💕

Hello how are you doing it’s nice meeting you here
Great song...too many governments and big businesses have screwed this once fine country and we are paying for it
Good song jimmy barne the songs are good
If I was a resident of Australia. I’d move to the UK or Canada.
That's an awesome song Jimmy sums it all up!!
@@matthunter4826 lmao why
@@myamdane6895 Because of more opportunities for auto plant employment.
An all time favorite , an Aussie Icon
Barnsey still singing for the ordinary working man, never forgotten his roots..we love you mate..
The other half at a different church on west side is finally getting their prayers (talk) answered literally.
I'm 11 and this made me cry
Jimmy gets a hats off from India for this beautiful song, cheers
Fantastic song! Getting some Tony Carey vibes from it. Man, Jimmy's voice just won't fade. Amazing.
Very Springsteenesque - These two are cut from the same cloth - Great Track !
This is an exact example of musicianship at its finest and what it means to be a musician at its core. Sing it load and proud Jimmy!!!!. Fuck political correctness. Jimmy your an inspiration mate. Adelaide born and proud.xxx
The legend himself thank you 🙏.
If any one has heard jimmy barnes in real life he sounds brilliant #JIMMYBARNES
One of the best songs I have heard,apart from all of Barney's other songs, hoping this song will really bring Barns'y in to a new dimension.

Your the man jimmy still making great songs!!
This song has many truths about our country but one thing that comes through it's distinctly Jimmy Barnes
Sounds as sweet as a 5 litre v8. Go Barnesey!
a Holden 308 that is
Great song written by Troy Cassar - Daly for Jimmy Barnes. Just Fabulous!
Hello how are you doing it’s nice meeting you here
Yes yhis is real music,a hit and vlassic Jimmy singing about our Aust
Hey there beautiful songs mate love your work Jimmy.😂😊😋😎😅
Barnesy never disappoints
Listening to this in my VY SS Commodore right now looking at all the rice cookers on our roads .... truly sad...Australia forever.
Love thus when I first heard I was playing at my camp on repeat with a big charcoal red Cedar warm Fire going it was fun when I had my hz Holden Statesman Front end.....
Brilliant Jimmy!! 👍😁😆
Amazing song Jimmy! One of your best yet
This has a bit of a Bon Jovi “story of the blue collar worker” vibe to it.
This sums it all up,
Awesome song Jimmy
My new best singer since Joe died. Happy to have found you on youtube last year.
👍👍
Look up "Lima Agreement" 1975 to see why we've been sold down the river by successive Govts. Once was a time when there was more work than people to fill those jobs. Seriously, you could go out in the morning and find a new job and start it the next day and if you didn't like it, next day go out and do exactly the same again.
The only qualification I have is a driver's license plus self taught skills from all the work I had. I paid off my first house at age 40 and my second 12yrs later.
Blue collar every day of my working life.
A song for the ages
GREAT!!!
Great song. Happy birthday Jimmy.
beautiful poetry
From Elizabeth and it’s so hard now Holden’s are gone
album pre ordered!!!can't hardly wait for it!!!!!

Magnifique

i couldn't afford it :(
tears, from an old soldier,,
Mate you're a king
Amazing! Wow, loved it as soon as I heard it on Triple M. Beautiful those keyboard notes too. The rest is just pure Jimmy style
I wanted to take a moment to thank you for all the support you’ve shown me throughout my career,
You’ve always been someone I could call my “biggest fan.” What means the most to me is that you do more than tell me I’m “great” at what I do, or that I’m a shoe-in for an opportunity. You take it a few steps beyond and share the reasons why you think so. Sometimes it seems like you remember my achievements even better than I do myself. I always appreciate your ability to see how my talents can make a difference and you’ve made me a believer too! After a chat with you, I always feel more confident and capable, and for that I will always be grateful.

Amazing !!! CLASSIC !
Hello how are you doing it’s nice meeting you here
It’s so sad 😪 but such a powerful song
People in Australia weren’t buying the cars anymore so they lost money
No it was when the mining boom crashed and people were loosing jobs left right and centre, and the government decided to raise all taxes so people couldn't afford to buy new cars

Fantastic song and video well done. Will have this blasting when cruising in the VB Commie wagon!
so, Barnesy was raised about 200 meters from ware i sit now. 0n heytesbury rd.
neither he or myself worked at holdens elizabeth, but if you live anywhere near, you know people who do...or did.
amazing song, glad to see he remembers his roots
and he's right elizabeth was never much to look at.
and his wikipedia entry is way rong
❤💯
Thank you
Fuckin awesome ..... Barnsey is back
Nothing last forever ! Many great companies are in troubles unfortunately...
so true. But there is also another side and these days it's the main problems. Businesses are being run to to keep the shareholders happy who like the big banks are not just happy to get a good return they want millions. I hope all the greedy mongrels go broke
Love it 😍
