#PaulKelly #LeapsAndBounds
The song that called me home when I was stuck up in Townsville in a hopeless relationship on the verge of suicide this song came on the radio then it all clicked I had too come I love Melbourne and it'll forever be my home
Good on you mate hope you are better now. Bloody great track.
The most liveable city in the world MCBD
Yea mate, good on you , hope it worked out . & yes , Townsville can do that to you.
Great music hope u doing well
As a Melbournian this song sends shivers down my spine.
Same
I’m an expat Vic, playing this today and feeling so sad for Victoria and Melbourne in particular. Brings back so many amazing memories. Hot chips, cold day....Essendon scarf and the roar of the crowd. Stay safe everyone and let’s hope this craziness ends. Paul Kelly is a genius ❤️
The burning leaves. Melbourne in the 80’s. Shops closed at midday Saturday. Dad mowing the lawn then taking us kids for a drive for an ice- cream while he’d put a few bets on at the TAB. Then stop off at the drive through bottle shop for half a dozen Fosters.
Same and I'm from Sydney
I was just feeling the same way right now 🤙
for me this is the Melbourne Anthem
Is there a Moomba theme song/ soundtrack ? 😮😮
I was sitting in my car with a friend recently, high on that hill looking over the bridge to the MCG, with the silos on the right. This friend had moved to Melbourne from NSW, and I played her this song, in the car. It was a pretty cool moment
Paul Kelly is like Bob Dylan and Neil Young in that they put you in the picture. They make you reminisce for places you've never been too.
Not from Oz, but this man has been rockin’ my life for over 30 years - great songwriter, and he plays great with a band or solo; seen him in Canada 5 or 6 times, always a highlight
This song makes me wanna see Melbourne..I’m from Brisbane Brissys good..but Melbourne looks like an awsome city with a lot of character in it..cheers to my Victorian Brothers and sisters 💪🤜🇦🇺🇦🇺🍺🍻🍺
Paul Kelly is one of the most underrated artists of all time
saying someone is under rated is the most over rated comment
You spelt overrated incorrectly...
He's not underrated by those who really know music.
definitely not underrated
This song makes me so nostalgic for watching footy on a brisk Saturday afternoon with the Melbourne skyline in the background. Makes me incredibly proud to be a Melburnian
This is absolutely it.
When I listen to Paul Kelly, I'm proud to be Australian.
Word! :)
My oath !!
You Australians be having the best artists and bands.
One of the Top 10 All-time Australian cuts IMO, and I'm not a huge Kelly fan (Paul or Ned).
Can't have been a Worksafe - approved worksite on that video shoot.....safety rails? Unions ...... where were you?
@@wotzupdoc1 mate Ned Kelly is a bloody legend
How does this classic only have a couple of thousand likes?
I spent the best years of my single days on Melbourne.. 1997..2005. Prost from Germany guys
Melbournian living in Germany. Prost to you.
Melbourne looked so young back then that l don't even recognise her. However she will always be beautiful and my home. Love from a wog in the Northern suburbs.
Mate, she was spectacularly beautiful then. Like a long-lost lover, I miss her. Love from a pom in the eastern suburbs.
@@ianrandall482 quality comment bruv 🙏
My neighbour loved this song so much that she threw a brick through my window so she could hear it better……
@northseabrent r u for real lol
Ok mate easy
Was that after you played it 50 times in the same day?
@@craptacular8282 51 times bruv.
I sense a bit of irony there . I laughed when I read this comment .
This should have been the official song for the VFL back in the day.
Channel 9 used it in their cricket coverage.
Up there Cazaly
It was 1992. I was 14. Walking up Punt Rd looking across to the floodlit MCG on my way to see the Pies and Blues. I can't remember ever being that excited. I know what he means when he says "my feet don't even touch the ground".
Go Blues !!
Go Pies!!!
Go Tiges!
Go Roos
up the baggers
Somehow I heard this amazing song in America, round about when it was released. It must have been on college radio, but for the life of me I can't remember how. He was virtually unknown over here. I then had to figure out how to get the record. I finally found the single at an indy record store somewhere in Greenwich Village. I played the hell out of it. What a great tune!
superreverbking ive never heard of this in america
@@fargeeks It was played here, barely. Nonetheless, I heard it and then searched out the record.
Do you get the references? It's a really Melbourne song. I never understood until I saw Paul live on the Making Gravy tour in 19. I'm from Brisvegas BTW.
I was working in radio in the US when Paul's first two albums (CD'S) were released, and we played cuts off both. We loved him.
It's really shame he didn't get more airplay over here. I'm convinced he would have been huge here, too.
I'm a lifelong fan!
I was just standing at the bottom of the silos, if I can get in I’m climbing up there.
Iconic song, our beloved Melbourne.❤️
One of the greatest cities in the world.
So, so true Sinead! All Melbournians think alike. Melbourne, Australia......Forever within our hearts & souls. Peace to you & to all.
“The clock on the silo, says eleven degrees.”
In the early 1980s, I was fortunate to climb the malting silos at Cremorne right up up to the Nylex sign.
This was when Smith Mitchell were still steeping the barley for CUB in Abbotsford.
Such a spectacular view.
“I remember everything”.
Leaps & Bounds has always been a permanent reminder of that day for me.
Paul Kelly - “absolute legend”
I’m so lucky to be Australian and more so a proud Melburnian.
I know we have a number of unofficial Australian anthems, but I think this one is Melbourne's own. It captures a winter's day with the footy playing, and loving life. I moved here in 1995 and it's been home ever since
Paul Kelly is a pure Genius , Great sounds and stories . Makes you remember the way it was .
A great comment & so true! You deserve more upvotes here.
Ice House - Great Southern Land: Anthem of the Australian land
Men at Work - Down Under: Anthem of the Australian attitude
Paul Kelly - Leaps and Bounds: Anthem of Melbourne
Makes me remember spending the summer of 86-87 in Australia. Great times. Such a lovely song. Pure romanticism.
Takes me back to walking through Yarra Park as a kid pre-match. Such a good song.
I have to admit, I've been a music snob. Passing over Paul Kelly for the likes of Nick Cave. At 41 I'm only just coming around to Kelly now. There is something really magical about this song! It's been on repeat! I'm never going to look at those old silos the same way again.
I'll make a prediction. I predict you've been seduced by the teal so called independent's. Please be wrong me.
Classic Aussie song.Wonderful memories of Paul’s songs during the 1980’s 😎
Its the only song I can think of, certainly the best that captures that feeling of growing up in Melbourne, How important that Nylex sign was pre the clocks being installed at Richmond Station or just walking to the MCG. Its a song I don't think anyone else would quite get unless you're Melburnian.
yes I agree
No. I get it. This is one great song and I feel 40 years younger every time I play it. Maybe its because I've been to Melbourne many times and love the place, and I'm a Kiwi.
Yep. NOBODY ELSE would get "the clock on the silo says 11 degrees" BUT a Melburnian! No matter WHERE they live now (says this Melbourne boy living in Brissy!)
Under the clocks WPA is another one.
@xadorr me too. Lived in St kilda during the mid nineties. Early morning bus ride pass the silos, to work in Fitzroy. I'm from Malaysia and I love Melbourne and Paul Kelly.
I saw Paul do this song at Rod Laver last night at Michael Gundinskis funeral was so good x
Feel so proud to be an Adelaidian, go you fellow South Ozzie PK
When im drinking and feeling patriotic, paul kelly is on and on loud
I now live in the U.S.A. i still but this song on to remind me where i started. I still picture driving down punt road and seeing the brewery read 11 degrees
Saw him live last night! Absolutel legend!
Lucky you.
P A U L. MY LEGEND,YOU MAKE AUSTRALIA FEEL PROUD🕺🎸
Go you Tigers 🐅..
Thanks for so many memories...👍
Living in Thailand and loving being able to watch this iconic song. Love Melbourne, the MCG and the Nylex clock. Where I live not many people speak English but I am playing this and AC/DC It’s a long way to the top, loud and proud 😎
One of the Greatest Aussie Songs Ever
I'm high on the hill
Looking over the bridge
To the M.C.G.
And way up on high
The clock on the silo
Says eleven degrees
I remember
I remember
I'm breathing today
The month of May
All the burning leaves
I'm not hearing a sound
My feet don't even
Touch the ground
I remember
I remember
I go leaps and bounds
I go leaps and bounds
Down past the river
And across the playing fields
The fields all empty
Only for the burning leaves
I remember
I remember
I go leaps and bounds
I go leaps and bounds
I'm high on the hill
Looking over the bridge
To the M.C.G.
Stumbling around
My feet don't even
Touch the ground
I remember
I remember
I remember
I remember
I go leaps and bounds
I go leaps and bounds
I go leaps and bounds
I go leaps and bounds
I remember
I remember
I remember
I remember
I remember
I remember everything
PK is a national treasure x
I have an American and have visited Melbourne twice, and I would love to move there!
fiveandtwoball if you did move there you would have to get used to calling a pickup truck an Ute
because they don't consider them trucks
The poet of a generation
What a song 😍🤗🤗🤗🤗
Goosebumps So proud to be Australian 👍🏼
Love this song, love this city! Awesome!
Absolute legend , love paul kelly
Paul Kelly..............Awesome artist & living legend!
Love this tune. That guitar solo half way through is fkn brilliant too.
Proud to say that solo was played by my brother Steve Connolly. He would have turned 61 today (Jan 3, 2020). RIP big bro, love you.
Ahhhh whoooo hoooo, yeaaahhhhhh!!
Home
Love how Paul nailed it in the Grand Final
I remember buying a last minute grand final ticket outside the mcg ( ended buying a stolen ticket) managed to get inside the G and got to my seat with a beer and was looking around the whole stadium taking it all in then this song came on with a packed house of 100k. Talk about an electric atmosphere
Paul Kelly...You bloody legend!
This song always makes me think of my younger days in Melbourne fondly.
😎
Love this song also Melbourne city scape before all those ugly high rise buildings, look at all the industry then, many gone now
Goosebumps So proud to be Australian 👍🏼

He's so good that he sings and wins brownlow medals
Loved this whole album !
This song gave me goosebumps while watching Essendon make a terrific comeback in the last quarter deficit against Hawthorn in the 1984 VFL Grand Final…..at the M C G. It was Essendons first flag since 1965. Very powerful moving and memorable song
They should sing it again and maybe hopefully you win a final 😂
@@stopsallmelb gee your not wrong there. 👍
@@Ozziemick ahah mate, just still filthy after 2009 anazc day match 🤣
Back when Melbourne was at its best. So sad we aren’t ever going back to those days
I know, so true! For me, the memories stay within my mind, heart & soul forever. Peace :-)
Absolutely great Australian song and being a south Australian myself and norwood supporter i totally love anything Paul Kelly does
Your an amazing artist
Thanks for the songs
I'm a Croweater too. Born at the Bridge, barrack for Norwood too, I went to Norwood Demonstration Primary School..
I saw Kelly at the Kensy Pub, in 1977, singing Young and Dylan covers
Go redlegs!
What a song 😍🤗🤗🤗🤗
I'm from Sydney... but I love Melbourne as well it's awesome.
I’d give you all of Sydney Harbour
All that land and all that water
For that one sweet promenade.
As a Qlder I never got the connections behind this song until the Making Gravy tour last year and then it all came together.
Come on Melbourne, let's stick together, we can beat this Virus.
And we did it!!!!!!
5 million Melbournians under threat by an attacking pandemic and we have defeated and eliminated the virus a month before Christmas! Does it get anymore Melbourne than that?!
@@bradgreen2225 No, no it can’t.
@@bradgreen2225 Ummm actually its a virus. It doesn't disappear locking a door or putting on a mask. But hey, Dan seems to be able to do what no one in medical history can do. You don't eliminate 'any' virus otherwise we don't need vaccines.....remember influenza. We have a vaccine for that every year yet it changes and comes back. People need to understand this ISN'T the bubonic plague. Geez didn't think education has got that low....
Hilarious....do you know something medical science doesn't know? Its a virus.......its not a matter of beating anything. Viruses are around for ever....
Seeing these cool older vids, takes me back to mid 80's, another Kiwi from a smaller town, living and working in Sydney, came back to NZ.
Loved those days, haven't been back for 30 odd years, wondered if its changed much?
This should have been the official song for the VFL back in the day.
What a song 😍🤗🤗🤗🤗
Love it!
Back in the VFL days when written........good stuff, makes me home sick, I'm stuck in Sydney :(
This makes me feel so nostalgic I almost want to spew.
And then a web crawling bot came along, stole my expressions of nostalgia, and reposted them under fictional identities...

The spirit and purity of the land of Australia is so apparent and radiant in 80' and 90's music. This spirit is now so dull, dim and near broken, that it seems that it will take collapse to reinvigorate it; or perhaps this is only reflected within myself.
Love me footy.up the tiges.Seriously.To all footy fans THE G IS SACRED.😊
Pretty sure I never saw this! Had no idea they actually went and filmed directly under the fabled "clock on the silo" "looking over the MCG." Much warmer than 11 degrees though!
Love this 💣
Best song about my home town Melbourne ever!
what a song
i'm listening to the top 3000 albums and this was tough to find so i just want to say thank you for posting #2614!
Love this.
Great song….brings back great memories
I've been living in Melbourne recently. I almost made it to the MCG but passed out. Drank mutch wine.
I don't remember!!!!!
I don't remember!!!
I don't remember!!!
La la la la la di la!!!
just love this song excellent.
ay ive been up there
27c @ 11.30am, it ain’t winter. Melbourne you’ve been good to me butt!!! From St Kilda to Kings Cross is 15 hrs on a bus,and then 20mins to Bondi or another 5 or 10 to Tamarama or Bronte. I know which I preferred.Now I gotta travel 17 hrs to the Central Coast.PARADISE!
Touch of House of love at the start
yes every one l will missing AFL Season with 2021 and l will go for the Adelaide Crows all the way We Fly As One too enjoy ❤️💛💙
Keeps you in touch with your past i like it.
Remember watching these videos late at night.
Shivers, means you're supposed to grow up
This one's for you Deano 😍 att
Change all he wanted but there will never be better songs written then there was with the Messengers. #runbutyoucannothide #beforetoolong
Cold Chisel song about Adelaide
00:43 compare that skyline to today. So different it's CRAZY!!! Nothing on Southbank, no Crown casino/towers, no eureka, no fed square, nothing over towards the docks. 40 years can really make a difference to a city! For better and/or worse!
I'm hearing the sounds, and my feet,don't even touch the ground.....
Remember the Star hotel
brother.........
Not taking away Paul Kelly is a musical genius, Australia version of Bruce Springsteen
wtf this was uploaded on my birthday
Camera from the helicopter is so dismal and back then we didn't care because this is such as Melbourne song.
Still love it despite the technical disadvantages.
Classic pk
best
I love you Melbourne
i just realised ONLY 341,624 views WTF !!???!! Come on Melburnians , esp Jamie Elliott Fans , ( or EVERY AFL Fan ),
Step Up ... This Should be a MCG Anthem !!
Should be the Anthem.
What they’ve done to Melbourne though, used to be the perfect mix…
