Paul Kelly - To Her Door (Official Video)

Who's the Melbourne swans?

Listening to this in 2023 from the USA. This is a wonderful song! I also like seeing actress Kaarin Fairfax in this video.

Always listend to Paul Kelly during our Road Trip through that beautiful country. Oh I miss you. Australia I really miss you. Good old days.

This song by Paul Kelly takes me back to the time when I lived in Western Australia with my friends for six months in 1987/1988. They were a married couple, he Austrian, she Australian. We lived in Perth, Doubleview. He had experimented with various drugs in his youth, apparently damaging something in his brain. Since then he had struggled with severe depression and anxiety. "I'm afraid of getting this terrible anxiety again, it's a vicious circle and no drug has been able to help me so far. That's why I drink - it can alleviate it a bit." he said to me at the time. He went to treatment several times, unfortunately without lasting success. The marriage broke up and he returned to Austria. I visited him regularly and we played guitar together, as we did years ago in the Fremantle markets for a few dollars. Last year he died of a liver infarction. He battled alcohol addiction, was sober on and off for a few months, but always fell back into addiction. He was a real friend. May you be better now, wherever you are!

One only has to read the public statments of those who designed the Voice, to know how it will work! One man who stood next to the PM when he announced the referendum wording is Thomas Mayo who sits on the PM's Referendum Working Group which drafted the referendum question. Mayo published his book titled "The Voice to Parliament Handbook". His signature is on the Uluru Statement and he has spent 18 months travelling around Australia trying to talk Australians into changing the Constitution to include the Voice. He is a union official and self-described “militant” on record as saying the Voice will “punish politicians”, “abolish colonialist institutions” and “pay the rent, pay reparations and compensation”.

Rather than the Voice being the “inspiring and unifying Australian moment” and "modest request" described by the PM, Mr Mayo told a Communist conference “there is nothing that we can do that is more powerful than building a first nations’ Voice, a black institution, a black political force to be reckoned with”. At a 2021 "Invasion Day" protest he described “the powers that be” as “murderers”, and said he was “sick of governments not listening to our voice” so planned “to use the rulebook of the nation to force them”. At Black Lives Matter protests and other addresses he reveals the Voice’s radical origins in the Search Foundation which describes itself as the “successor organisation of the Communist Party of Australia”.

People are trying to shatter my dreams and told me one my favorite people are voting YES , please say it is NOT true .?

This song is about a rehab centre called buttery that opened in the 1970 and has saved thousands of lives over the years it was a tribute to the centre from paul kelly unfortunately there going to close it down which will destroy thousands of lives 😢 i do know this and its been in the news it sucks and yes im Australian

What a legend. Something about his songs that relate to real-life situations. Australia is so lucky to have a son like Paul Kelly.

The buttery helped people

a classic "trying to sort things out, will she give me another chance?" song.

Love your song.🇦🇺🌹

Well done Paul. Great song.🥰🇦🇺

Do you hate immigrants? If not, why would you support racist changes to our constitution that will give them less power than people who have always lived here. We are all Australian, it’s time to move forward together and not be divided even further by race.

PK pushing Labors 'Voice'? OK, so what about what the architects of the Voice themselves? Their own public statements tell us what it would be! Thomas Mayo stood next to the PM when he announced the referendum wording and he sits on the PM's Referendum Working Group which drafted the referendum question. Mayo published his book titled "The Voice to Parliament Handbook".

He is a poet that's why he so brilliant

Didn't know that thanks

LEGEND.

Story telling doesnt come better

Wake up.
Your legacy I let go
I will forever pay for that
It was only once
Wyyonda auntie that's up to me

why does this song sound like Khe Sanh

You know it always appeared to B that you were the Mother and Sabina The Child 🫠. This I Understand And Resonate With Dear

I’ll Come Strolling In Like Mr. James Dean In A Dream

Hadley Madley Martin… Don’t dare take a step DOVE… Use Your God Given Wings My Heart and Soul

This song is more important now than ever!

Divino!!!!

wonder if that was his upbringing.....or someone close to him....

You don't get laid off, start drinking then spend a year in rehab... To spend a year in rehab you have to be replacing life long / learned habits... It's not a quick fix.
You cannot fix a life of bad habits in a month of rehab and vice versa..

Rest in peace les ,love ya brother

Yeah, Australia on world stage Australian music is grossly underrated.....they are let down by people like Molly Meldrum.
And the Australian white people mostly British and Irish government really didn't support Australian movies too. Too bad, so sad, indeed.

What's the point of life? ppl who love this song might give me an answer❤

💃🏾💃🏾💃🏾💃🏾💃🏾💃🏾💃🏾💃🏾✨🤩♥️💃🏾💃🏾💃🏾💃🏾

I was just a kid travelling around the world in the late 80´s. When in Australia this Paul Kelly guy hit me lika a bomb. Great songs,... what a storyteller. Thank you Paul!

Yep!

Isn't it funny?
Wedding bells, wedding bells, will ring for me (Liz Hurley)
But marriage is good for men!!!!!
And either neutral or bad for women!
How ironic!!!

It's just occurred to me that the actress in the video was his then wife, the fab Kaarin Fairfax. I knew she looked familiar. I can't find anywhere confirming that it's definitely her but it must be? I thought it looked like her even before I knew she and Paul Kelly were connected in any way.

The Best Songwriter in Australia. The End

can't belive my teacher forced me to watch this
