Midnight Oil - Power and the Passion (Official Video)

This is one of the most iconic songs of Midnight Oil 🦘

This is what can happen when you teach yourself how to play drums? awesome originality!👌✊

Still waiting with you or with you!!! 😊😮I can live with or without you love to talk to you about this song 🎧 I can relate with it knowone understand s that. Love and Feelings

Peter Garrett looks like slenderman

It's great to see that with this critique of corporate greed and consumerism, after 40-odd years, things are so much worse.

Such a great drum solo

The drum solo reminds me of when Eric Cartman teaches the boys of South Park how play the drums in the episode The Red Badge of Gayness

Yes great time for Aussie music

Love how Peter Garrett dances like a tazered zombie. And i mean absolutely no offense with this comment.
Nothing but admiration for this band and in particular, this song.
I can't move as well as that dude even after dropping the toaster in the bath with me.

Can you imagine Twilight Sparkle from MLP doing a dance like Peter Garrett?

i love a plundered country, a land of corporate gains. what's the time mister
wolf?

Peter Garrett is amazing, Back in the 80s he danced like Raygun and we all let him get away with it cause he is awesome

Peter how's it going now.

the Oils might have whinged about the state of Australia back in 1982….but i’d rather live it again compared to where we are in 2024, Australia it isn’t!

In terms of social & political commentary, midnight oil is the clash of down under

👌👌👌

Still a completely ignored message. Go you dumb voters, get your negative gearing and capital gains.
Crush the poor who you profit off.

Next time there's an 80s night I'm going to dance like this

Wow it's 2024.12 here not from the algorithm remember them from REM times. My niece in Adelaide says Peter even tried politics.

God picked thissong for me

Seems like a more and more appropriate song for just about any holiday these days .

10, 9, 8 is one of the greatest Aussie albums

This song will always be an iconic Aussie anthem. I love Midnight Oil.

Reminds me of the Pure original

Forgot how good that was.

Good ex politician ❤

Awesome song and awesome music video.

"It's better to die on your feet than to live on your knees" .... easy to say when there's nothing on the line. Where were these guys 4 years ago when the tyrant's came knocking ? Complete silence.... and dare I say compliance.
Rich older guys who are comfortably part of the machine.

Still listening. Watching. Dancing. February 25 😊

I feel Loyd borrowed her dance moves from this lad.

Hmmmmmn

You know what' he means.
Don't go out back
And that's that 😊

U can see he feels the passion

Powerful in concert. I witnessed it twice.

Still one of my favorite videos and songs of all time.

Where he say I rather die on my feet than my knees 🔥

All is the best ❤❤❤❤❤

🙌

Ain't that the Truth Start to see ,getting others to believe so we can be free ,has stopped the boredom ,All in All it's been another good week in this War ,in the end the reign comes down ,UF forces CIA and then some ,secret service agents are fleeing the scene that lived behind me ❤

Never Lived on My Knees,or we will never find peace ,it is the hardest line learning to fly with our wings ,IL stand my ground even at the Gates of Hell ,that's exactly where I have been ,

It is a real good old fashioned way to get the msg across full marks on the dancing!!!

That was my VERY FIRST MTV video ever. My 2nd was “No More Lies” by Neal Schon and Jan Hammer.

Please everyone look up and pray for the drummer soilder in this icon 🇦🇺🇦🇺🇦🇺💪💪💪🍻🏆🫡🙏

I luv the fire extinguisher... since there was no safety in this song :)

This song used to be in my dad's playlist from when I was a kid lol

never gets old

Did Pete's suit get dusted off for the Gillard years?

Liked the original

We have to ask ourselves : Is Australia a better place in 2025 than it was in 1985?
