A big shout out to Australia and her people. I ligit grew up on this and loved it and the theme song. I’ve always wanted to go to down under. Hell I’d live there. Much love from Florida, US.
Ahhhhhhh!!! MEMORIES! MEMORIES! MEMORIES!! I know this song word for word. I would rush home from school and wait with bated breath just to sing along with the theme song. This era is the best era to have lived in......I thought life world always be like this.... world of love, romance, suspense, heartbreak, joy, sadness and then comes happiness. Sigh!!! I love it❤😊❤
Sadly they didn't. Newer versions of this theme song replaced the previous versions over the years and a number of verses were gradually cut back over the years due to time restrictions on Seven Network.
My wife watched this from the very first episode and has recently just stopped watching it she said it’s not as good as it once was but her fav was always Alf
I was born the same year this show started and started watching it after school when I was 15-19. Good memories! Australia clearly made the best soap opera!
I've lived in Australia my whole life and I could safely say I've never sat through a full episode of this OR Neighbour's, but this song is so good. Still happy to give them a shot.
Home and away vs Neighbours....and im not even Australian.. Long live the 80s...if you were not there you wouldn't understand, THE PRIVILEGE!!...wow ,time flies
All of my children will tell you that this song was their lullaby as babies. For some reason in the middle of the night it was the only song that I could remember all of the words too and it always gave them comfort when I sang it and they always went to sleep. Now my kids are 17, 15, 13 & 11 years old and obviously they watch "Home & Away" with me but still think in their heads that it's their lullaby as the lyrics are relevant to them. #TrueStory
Insanely good for an Aussie soap theme. I really liked H&A back in the 90s but the theme today definitely has that 80s/90s ballad duet feel about it. Thanks for uploading this.
I always picture myself on holiday at one of the holiday parks across the south of England whenever I listen to this song, it has such a great holiday feel to it in my opinion....
As a foreigner from the USA visiting Australia for the first time in 2008, I became addicted to this series. Have been a steady viewer for the past seven years and love my weekly visits with the characters of Summer Bay and the beautiful scenery.
I'm a 24-year-old male who doesn't watch the show but simply loves this song. Product of the '80s, I suppose. I remember downloading this off Kazaa about twelve years ago. Classic stuff.
I’m so glad we had neighbours and home and away growing up. Something light hearted (sometimes heavy) and just something consistent for my brother and I to watch after school ❤ wish there was still something like this these days. Now it’s all UA-cam and Netflix - which I’m sure will also get old one day too x
Everything was better back then. We had not tech, no social media. We had love, compassion and we had social skills. Life was innocent and people had morals principals. I miss the 80s and 90s. When ever I listen to this, i get really sad.
The male vocalist is Mark Williams… a star in his own right with ‘show no mercy’ and now also the frontman for iconic Australian band Dragon since 2005
used to watch this when i was at uni in UK 1988-1991. loved the song. heard it today in 2016 since that time and I could sing along perfectly! great theme
Home and Away... Bea Smith, Alf Stewart, Celia Stewart, Ailsa Stewart, Rita Connors, Myra Desmond, Morag Bellingham, Pippa Fletcher/Ross, Michael Ross, Tom Fletcher, Reb Kean... The list goes on...
I was never the biggest fan of Home And Away growing up, but since I'm currently recovering from COVID, the theme song has randomly popped in and out of my head at various points. I've given the song a few listens and I have to say, divorced from the fact that it's the theme for a soapie, this first rendition in particular is surprisingly beautiful.
I remember being stoned one night in the 90s and I heard this come on and I remember thinking man that’s actually a really beautiful song.... I was fully feeling it 💯
Used to be a good show in the 80s and 90s - enjoyable for all the family. Now it is aimed at teens mainly. Bit of a shame. Previously, we watched it as kids, my parents watched it and my grandparents watched it.
I remember after starting school, my Aunt who just finished school introduced this show while my Grandparents were looking after me while Mum was working and Dad was in the Army. I was too young to follow it but seeing through older eyes it shows how complex the story was.
Who else thinks this song is way too good for a soap opera??!
I do, it fits in well.
Agreed!
Dude, it's a classic from an era of classics! 😄👌👌🤘
Sexy sax too! 🤣🤘🤘
Me
This song gives my age away. Those were the good old days. Im glad that I am an 80's born kid😎
Such a beautiful classic song Home and away was better back then than today .
In Jamaica we use to watch this in the 80s as a child we watched this in the evening.
They should do a reggae cover version.....🎉
Who is feeling nostalgic during this quarantine period...I was only 12years....old is gold lots of love from Kenya
am from kenya too
The woman singing this song has such a beautiful pure voice
Karen Boddington
Why did this show pop back in my head? I miss my youth.
Me too!!!!
Yes Natalee
And me to I actually remember the first episode 😜
Fi real! Loved watching it growing up back home.
80s music is the best
Growing up in Kenya,this was one of the most popular foreign family TV shows. It gave us a glimpse of Australian life in general. Loved it!
plus neighbors too ... man those were the days!
Hell yes. I loved this show. I miss Nation TV
old theme is much better
And 7th heaven
This show man, it reminds me of them days with nostalgia..😅
I randomly stumbled upon this video and I remembered they used to play this soap in jamaica when I was a kid. Memory unlocked.
Clearly one of the best theme songs of all time!!
yes, it is!
@@kaptainkassanis yep
Feel so nostalgic ❤️ those great days
Shiiiiiit,never realised how beautiful this song is until now!
same here, haha...
Its not the best version imo, the female parts should be sung by the male vocalist
yeah i hated it because the show was shit but now i'm hearing it now it's really good i'm singing it when i'm drunk now
I thought this song was rubbish, till I sat down and listened to it , and it's a brill song have to say x
A big shout out to Australia and her people. I ligit grew up on this and loved it and the theme song. I’ve always wanted to go to down under. Hell I’d live there. Much love from Florida, US.
This brings back childhood memories!
Beautiful Song
One of the Best songs ever!!!
Yep
Haven’t heard this for 20 years and still know the words
I love home and away songs it my favourite song and TV shows as well
This song just came to mind and I decided to search for it, glad I did. Aww, how I miss those days😌
I really miss this show.
This original will never die. What a duet!!!
Ahhhhhhh!!! MEMORIES! MEMORIES! MEMORIES!! I know this song word for word. I would rush home from school and wait with bated breath just to sing along with the theme song. This era is the best era to have lived in......I thought life world always be like this.... world of love, romance, suspense, heartbreak, joy, sadness and then comes happiness. Sigh!!! I love it❤😊❤
Crazy that I still remember the words !!!
Awww Memories come flooding back miss these days
I love male and female duets... this is one of the best.
I never realised just how good a vocalist the female singer is .....💯
Wow soundtrack to my childhood, my sister and I never missed an episode ....90’s in Soshanguve, Pretoria ... South African 🇿🇦
Flash back to when I 8yrs old there 😂😂😂😂
I loved this version they should have kept it
Sadly they didn't. Newer versions of this theme song replaced the previous versions over the years and a number of verses were gradually cut back over the years due to time restrictions on Seven Network.
And now it hasn’t had a song for years.
@@forsakenoutcast it just says "closer each day, home and away" I miss this version 🥺
Yes
Growing up in Zimbabwe,I enjoyed this show so much.I loved the theme song.Its a beautiful song.
My wife watched this from the very first episode and has recently just stopped watching it she said it’s not as good as it once was but her fav was always Alf
even for those who aren't very much acquainted with the tv series, this song gives you nostalgic feelings of life itself.
Completely agree!
Growing up in jamaica this was one of my favorite british tv show but "chronicles of narnia" was my favorite...
British lol
I remember watching the first ever episode as a child ...this song is magic. Neighbours and home and away were massive in the UK.
A big fight over what to watch
Yes big in the UK
That's why they were always at different times here in Australia
one of the best TV theme songs ever - bring it back!
I was born the same year this show started and started watching it after school when I was 15-19. Good memories! Australia clearly made the best soap opera!
I hated the programme, but this was possibly the best TV theme tune ever. Used to hear it when parents watched. Loved it!
I love the way she sings "need you here" on the second verse, it sounds beautiful
This is actually a beautiful song!
Awesome theme
even though I wasn't around yet for this one, I still remember it as the one I heard on the tv when I was little
This is one of those songs that gets BUILT into your brain
Definitely singing this to my wife on our wedding day
Cringe.
love this song
This and 1995 theme are my two favourites! Karen Boddington such a good singer
I've lived in Australia my whole life and I could safely say I've never sat through a full episode of this OR Neighbour's, but this song is so good. Still happy to give them a shot.
@Gcello22 you Aussies have better soaps than us Pommies do. My favourites are Prisoner Cell Block H and Sons And Daughters
Home and away vs Neighbours....and im not even Australian.. Long live the 80s...if you were not there you wouldn't understand, THE PRIVILEGE!!...wow ,time flies
I loved watching Home and Away and Neighbours when I was in England.
All of my children will tell you that this song was their lullaby as babies. For some reason in the middle of the night it was the only song that I could remember all of the words too and it always gave them comfort when I sang it and they always went to sleep.

Nice. If I was trying to soothe a baby, I'd cop out and settle for Country Practice or Hill Street Blues themes!
love that x
My nan sang this to me as a kid. She still watches it!
So sweet
This has to be the aussiest thing I've ever read! Love it! ❤️
Happy 35th birthday to this amazing soap opera... 😎 🎂🎁🎉🎊
memories
I grew up to this theme ahhh memories.👍
I spent my youth from 2000 to 2009 in Brisvegas
Home and away was great
Thank you for being such a good friend to me
This show should have been shown in South Korea... It could be a hit and BTS could cover this song!
They played BTS on a recent episode of Home and Away
One of the best theme tunes of all time
No not one of the best, The Best
Insanely good for an Aussie soap theme. I really liked H&A back in the 90s but the theme today definitely has that 80s/90s ballad duet feel about it. Thanks for uploading this.
Bravo Mark and Karen !
Never saw a full episode, but I know this song by heart. Absolute fire!
When i lived in London, i watch Home and Away as well as Neighbours
i also did watch both but Neighbours was not as good, home and Away was much better
I always picture myself on holiday at one of the holiday parks across the south of England whenever I listen to this song, it has such a great holiday feel to it in my opinion....
THIS IS GOING TO BE MY WEDDING SONG!!!
It does make a good wedding song.
good choice
have ya gotten married yet?
Are you now married and if yes did you use the song?
I imagine his wife bolted when she heard that suggestion.
Wow, pure nostalgia right here.
The 80s 90s and 00s was the best years for soaps even in UK and Australia too
As a foreigner from the USA visiting Australia for the first time in 2008, I became addicted to this series. Have been a steady viewer for the past seven years and love my weekly visits with the characters of Summer Bay and the beautiful scenery.
When are you coming back,Bro? I'll get Alf to put the kettle on for ya!
Don't forget a tour of that epic dungeon he's made since the guy was last here!
Imagine if Trump went to Summer Bay.
"I like Marilyn Chambers, her tits are yuge!"
Pokémon Trainer Elio lol
Palmer would probably smack him one lol
I remember this when I used to come home from school in the late 80s
I love Homeandaway
back to this classic hehe
I'm a 24-year-old male who doesn't watch the show but simply loves this song. Product of the '80s, I suppose. I remember downloading this off Kazaa about twelve years ago. Classic stuff.
I can still sing it woow sweet old days
I always preferred Neighbours when growing up but this has the best theme song 💛
I’m so glad we had neighbours and home and away growing up. Something light hearted (sometimes heavy) and just something consistent for my brother and I to watch after school ❤ wish there was still something like this these days.

Memories are made of this , growing up in the 90's
I love this song it my favorite TV show 😍 ❤
i like this vision of home and away theme song and i wish that the old home and away episode was on tv
This version is the best! Thanks so much for posting!
We love it 🥰
I watched this in syndication. Some of the greatest tv theme songs ever.
Nostalgia...Home and Away!! ❤
classic intro song and absolutely beautiful:) so full of heart and passion in the song
Sung by legendary New Zealand singer Mark Williams and Karen Boddington from Australia😊
RIP Dieter Brummer. X
The male vocalist is Mark Williams… a star in his own right with ‘show no mercy’ and now also the frontman for iconic Australian band Dragon since 2005
New Zealand band Dragon !
used to watch this when i was at uni in UK 1988-1991. loved the song. heard it today in 2016 since that time and I could sing along perfectly! great theme
Don't know how you make that out seeing that Home and Away didn't start in the UK until 1989
Home and Away... Bea Smith, Alf Stewart, Celia Stewart, Ailsa Stewart, Rita Connors, Myra Desmond, Morag Bellingham, Pippa Fletcher/Ross, Michael Ross, Tom Fletcher, Reb Kean... The list goes on...
I was never the biggest fan of Home And Away growing up, but since I'm currently recovering from COVID, the theme song has randomly popped in and out of my head at various points.

Quad jabbed?
@J - At the time, three.
@@ImpulseKidEntertainment Real shame how those didn't do anything. Fuck the government.
It watched all.the series when I was in jamaica those were the good days
Love this theme sad they don’t play the theme at start anymore :(
According to my mum I used to watch this all the time when I was little
Love this song and the words are so true in my heart xx
I am going to sing this to my sweetheart
I remember being stoned one night in the 90s and I heard this come on and I remember thinking man that’s actually a really beautiful song.... I was fully feeling it 💯

@Hey Dimmu Podcast well yeah maybe. It seems centred on the lives of teenagers and people in their twenties.
Love ahhhh the good ol' days
Lovely. Thank you for uploading this. It takes me back to when I was 12 and watching this on YTV Canada. :)
Me too!
Sounds good, they should use it for a tv series. Maybe on a beach.
I MISS HOME AND AWAY :)
I remember after starting school, my Aunt who just finished school introduced this show while my Grandparents were looking after me while Mum was working and Dad was in the Army. I was too young to follow it but seeing through older eyes it shows how complex the story was.
This reminds me of someone. Under the sunrise, we sang this song together.
my childhood memories
Hannah and Duncan belong together, Oooohhhh Tommy Tommy. 💯👌👍💙
I love this song. They definitely should have kept it
