This song left an unforgettable mark on me, so much that it influenced some of my own tracks, like my song Assez Assez, where rock mixes with my emotions.

    Peter Garrett was the singer in Midnight Oil. He is no longer with the band. He served two terms as president of the Australian Conservation Foundation. In his first term, from 1989 to 1993, significant results were achieved for many threatened areas of the Australian environment including Coronation Hill in Kakadu, Shoalwater Bay in Queensland, the Queensland Wet Tropics rainforest and Jervis Bay in NSW. In his second term, the ACF grew strongly, developed partnerships with non-government organisations, progressive business groups and companies, and expanded it's campaigning into marine conservation and northern Australia.
    He received the Australian Humanitarian Foundation Award ( environment category) in 2000, and in 2003 received the Order of Australia (Member General Division) for his contribution to environment and the music industry. Dude lives what he believes.Vern Collins - Vancouver, Wa

Half of the Ngukurr mission people left town in 4WD's during the wet season to see them perform at Numbulwar (Rose River Mission). they made a big impact on Aboriginal communities right across Australia. Still a great band. cheers all!

      "Beds Are Burning" is a 1987 song by the Australian rock band Midnight Oil, the first track from their album Diesel and Dust. This song was released as the second single from the album. It reached No. 1 in New Zealand, South Africa and Canada, No. 3 in the Netherlands, No. 5 in France, No. 6 in the United Kingdom, Australia and Ireland, No. 17 in the United States and Sweden. It is one of The Rock and Roll Hall of Fame's 500 Songs that Shaped Rock and Roll and it was named number 95 on VH1's 100 Greatest One Hit Wonders of the 80s and number 97 by the Triple J Hottest 100 of All Time in 2009. In May 2001, Australasian Performing Right Association celebrated its 75th anniversary by naming the Best Australian Songs of all time, as decided by a 100 strong industry panel. "Beds Are Burning" was declared third behind the Easybeats' "Friday on My Mind" and Daddy Cool's "Eagle Rock"

    I don't think Midnight Oil will ever see this comment but I just want to say, I was front row in one of their last ever concerts in Cairns the other day and I can't express how much it meant to me that Midnight Oil came back to finish the concerts they couldn't get to because of covid. I'm 19, so unfortunately I wasn't born to experience their music in it's prime, but my mother would play Midnight Oil all the time and I grew up with them and other great Australian bands from that time, and it's one of the very few things that my mother and I bonded over. I took her to the concert with me and I'd never seen her so happy before. She was telling all the nice people beside us that the last time she was at a Midnight Oil concert was when she was 8 months pregnant with me. She was so proud that I have grown up to love these amazing bands she raised me with. Most of those band's members are getting on in years, so I was ecstatic to be able to see Midnight Oil for the first and last time. It's morbid, but I could honestly say if I died young, I'd know that seeing Midnight Oil with my mother was the most amazing time in my life, and that I'd be dying happy.
