Nineties Revisited: Underwater


Original video located here. Accessed 1st July 2016

Song title: Underwater

Artist: Midnight Oil

Year: 1996

Why I like this song:

As established previously, 1996, was the year I came out of my cave and started exploring the music round me. Needless to say, I was surprised to learn that Midnight Oil were still together and still making music. 
It was also a surprise that this song came about: It was subdued compared to the fury that had come prior. And yet, it was not a surprise to hear a veteran act, with it's members in their forties, slowing down with age. 
Still, I have always viewed the Oils as making music that are well suited for a summer day and, even with it's slower pace, this is definitely fits. A moody piece indeed,
