Posted in ‘Protest Song’ was written because I’m a Midnight Oil fan.
Detractors always said they played too much ‘complaint rock’, but Rob Hirst always retorted that it was better than ‘compliant rock’. Sadly, Aussies prefer compliance to complaining.
The song began with a meandering chord progression. In my head I imagined the first word sounding like “Oh”. If you listen to the song you’ll notice that the song starts with the word “So”. And that’s how the song started…
One of my songwriting heroes released a song called “Wings to Work” and I was impressed by how the music was so simple and repetitive but built up with each verse adding something, the song slowly building to a rousing ending. And… I was sick of trying to find catchy choruses.
From these threads the rest of the song grew. I wrote the verses in order. The lyrics were born out of a frustration with politicians and shock jocks. I had a feeling that they were always talking about issues I either didn’t care about, or if I did, they weren’t asking the questions I wanted to here or talking about what I wanted… and sometimes I didn’t even know what I wanted to talk about any more. They’d stolen my words!
The song was played originally on acoustic guitar but as it was jammed and demo-ed I imagined more and more singers joining in with multiple harmonies.
Whilst practicing the song Niall came up with a cool descending bass line between the 2nd and 3rd verses and later on Anna sang the lovely high harmony both of which really pushed the song along.
Paying homage to another Midnight Oil song, “Hercules” and also to the Paul Kelly Classic “From Little Things Big Things Grow” we banged out a long instrumental powerhouse at the end. And that is why the song is 7 minutes long!
EXTRA: The line “pushed that sedan” was morphed from another Midnight Oil lyric. Brownie points to anyone who can get it. The song is off Head Injuries.
ACTION: Listen to the full length song with Rob’s amazing drum work and extra guitar solo (iTunes, CD Baby or Amazon) or stream/download the Radio-Edit for free below.

So what is good On-Page SEO?First your keyword must appear in the title.Then it must appear in the URL.You have to optimize your keyword and make sure that it has a nice keyword density of 3-5% in your article with relevant LSI (Latent Semantic Indexing). Then you should spread all H1,H2,H3 tags in your article.Your Keyword should appear in your first paragraph and in the last sentence of the page. You should have relevant usage of Bold and italics of your keyword.There should be one internal link to a page on your blog and you should have one image with an alt tag that has your keyword….wait there’s even more Now what if i told you there was a simple WordPress plugin that does all the On-Page SEO, and automatically for you?
