I was at woolies buying a coffee for work and I heard the opening riff faintly playing in the background. I knew I had heard it before but couldn't remember who it was, then I heard Ben's voice and it came back to me. Can't believe it's been over 20 years since I heard this. Great Aussie track.
Haha. That's why I am here spinning this back up after so many years. When I heard it I remembered hearing that you know you're getting old when the supermarket starts playing bangers.
The service station this was filmed at is on the way out to Wisemans Ferry at Maroota. It's hardly changed also the Vintage Ice freezer is still there in 2024.
Ben Lee is One Of The best antidepressants... .. i was suicidal for years and I've still got my days but even in foetal position on the floor mkt moving for hours or even days and catch my disease starts on rage by the end of the song i was on The couch laughing because the film clip is fantastic... I thought life would get easier but rhe joke's on me...
Always loved this track. Having worked in radio for 20+ years, I can truly say Ben was one of my favorite, and one of the nicest, people I was ever lucky enough to interview. Hard to believe this was almost 20 years ago!!
Joel edgerton in the video - classic early 00's... and the price of fuel was still 63c a Litre (now $1.70 -- so depressing well be double that again in 15 years)
Perth concert hall .. several years ago ... Ben at his best sneaking up behind the WASO conductor and doing a blindsided lift on him... priceless... Ben Lee is 1 of the best artist I've sen interacting with audiences.
How timeless is this song in 2021? I dug up a couple of Ben's CDs and gave them a spin after he was outed as professor on Masked. I haven't had enough time to listen to some of my favourite jams from 20 years or so ago.
I still have the single and loved this tune from back in the day. I have not been able to find this clip for some time. After listening to born for this bullshit 3 times in a row i went looking for this again and bam.. Thanks Ben. Just remembered the petrol price spells a name.
Wow. I know the song. Didn’t realise it’s Mr Ben Lee. Where can I find is mashup to ‘time to pretend’? I just saw a tiktok of Ben in katoomba preforming it. Sounds like a great song 🎧

A Lonely Housewive A loving wife spends her life by rising with the sun each day. She starts with the thought of what am I going to do, oh that's right she says in her mind, I've got work to do. I'll check to see how much washing I have to do and put a load on, I'll go from there. As the children run around to play and the husband gathers his next hobby affair. Breakfast is ready! She cries, setting it down on the table she hears the washing machine beep and another load to go on she must skip breakfast for herself as there is so much more to do. The pets outside squeal and howl, we are hungry too! As she could not be there 2 places at once. There is not enough of her to go around oh how much she hopes. A little heartbreaks a little each day, oh if only they'd offer to help. must I ask them again? as she stands thier in poop. An angry outbursts she cries eww yuck where is that hose I must! After clening her feet, Raking the garden, She then tends to watering the plants but instead of her mind focused on which plant, she thinks of the next job she must do. Vaccum I must! Bed linen to be changed, showers and bathroom to clean and oh there goes the Magpie calling out, Feed me too! Quickly the hose is turned off, run to the fridge to fetch maggie his favourite as he waits patiently, he sings her a delightful tune and gives an almighty hoot! I'm here I'm here and grateful to you! Can you hear my beautiful sounds I sing them only to you. Thank you for feeding me, thank you for loving me, and yet her heart fills with joy of the love it shares, though music in Nature by our loving divine will. The sun has hit its peak, noon comes the day, Oh no I only a few hours left and already I haven't done enough. School uniforms to be ironed, Lunch to be made, dinner is on her mind as well as that toilet paper to be replaced. A lonely wife spends the day, thinking of everyone else and never herself but in a selfless way. One heartbeat a day, slowly takes it's toll, ungrateful children and husband, who never sing a tune, or a sound of love they just say hooroo! 2023 or 1852 This is the way a lonely housewife is attuned, for better or worse, she takes each day at a time. Waiting for that day to arrive, where she is asked, hey love what do you want to do? 💔💚 Written by a Loving House wife listening to this tune.
Unreal song. Ben is such a talent

As someone that works at woollies this is one of a handful of songs that's played that's actually good and never gets old or annoying.
How did you feel finding something that you were looking for for ages. And did you think it was Ben Lee?
Lol same
Haha. That's why I am here spinning this back up after so many years. When I heard it I remembered hearing that you know you're getting old when the supermarket starts playing bangers.
OMG! I heard this song at the woolies too! Immediately pulled out my phone to Shazam it.

Ben Lee! You were a big part of my adolescence and we listened to your albums on repeat here in the USA. Glad to have found your channel

Been looking for this for longer than I care to admit
Joel edgerton in the video - classic early 00's... and the price of fuel was still 63c a Litre (now $1.70 -- so depressing well be double that again in 15 years)
You think you will be allowed to pump fuel 15 years from now?
Happy feel good vibes in every song.

a standout song, this track has a little of everything. The clip is pure art.
I've been looking for this video. Thank you for uploading, it's one of my favourites.

How has this only a couple of hundred views? This is awesome.🔥
He had more views on album cover but have to look up on google to find video version to connect to this youtube version..thank you
Was this on UA-cam for a long time and then striker? And then re-added? Truly epic tune
Heard this song in a shop once and always wondered what it was, now I have found it! 😃

Where can I find is mashup to ‘time to pretend’?
I just saw a tiktok of Ben in katoomba preforming it.
Sounds like a great song 🎧
When i first heard this i thought it was Died Pretty. Of course, when i first heard Died Pretty i thought it was the Velvet Underground.
Was that Joel Edgerton?

Ummm. Where were you hiding this one mate????
