I dunno if many of you would have seen this, a couple of the Aussies. Its probably a Melbourne cliche, but its a long time since I lived there, back when this song came out actually, its a happy memory now.
I know your names not Helen, but I hope you enjoy it. It captures a more innocent time.
I've hardly been around the last .. well really the last 18 months, so I've missed a lot of birthdays.
This video is taken at someone's b'day that I don't know, but probably went to plenty of gigs with, because that comment at the end of the song ... there's a chance it's referring to me (I wouldn't let Dan finish a gig without screaming for at least 3 or 4 encores.)
Since I'm talking Melbourne, and I've probably missed everyone's birthday over that time ... here's one of my favorite ever singer songwriters singing one his most well loved songs (and he has written some crackers) for you all, and a big Happy Birthday whenever it was.
Happy birthday Ms. Carnival! Wish I was close enough to buy you a drink.
There is no me. There is no you. There is all. There is no you. There is no me. And that is all. A profound acceptance of an enormous pageantry. A haunting certainty that the unifying principle of this universe is love. -- Propagandhi
