4.17 min. | 4.96 user rating		 Muisc Video for quirky Aussie retro themed band, "Electric Hippies" formed by ex "Noiseworks" band members, Justin Stanley and Steve Balbi. The look and feel of this clip was 70's glam rock bands and their apprearence on shows like "Top Of The Pops". We shot this on video and generated the effects on an old analogue video mixer. We also hired an old analogue rock video editor who'd been cutting and post producing clips since the early 70's. The final video tape master was transferred onto film as a kinescope - just like they used to do in the old days when they wanted to send multiple copies around the globe. The wild girl dancing solo on the podium in the cut-off demnim shorts is funky diva, Nikka Costa. Electric Hippie, Justin Stanley , was both her partner and subsequent record producer

I love Australian rock, and this is probably one of the best Australian rock songs ever written. Lyrics: You never expect it to be in your wildest dreams So take a step backwards for a little while You'll find it there It's something that I can't explain So I remain trapped inside Still holding strong Still holding on to you, to you Take me back to you, it's been a long time Although woh every night I think of you It's such a lonely life I watched you wave goodbye as you drove away I didn't know that it would be your last time with me You said - life ain't worth living if nobody cared You said that all the time, oh I take a step back and see your staring eyes I see you on the day you died Take me back to you, it's been a long time Although woh every night I think of you It's such a lonely life Take me back to you, take me back to you Take me back to you, it's been a long time Although woh every night I think of you It's such a lonely life, oh oh Take me back to you, take me back to you
3.50 min. | 4.90 user rating		 I made this clip to the Champions, song Miles and Miles by Noiseworks and Jon Stevens The Singing Orga(ni)sm! *L* The song is to me, very inspirational. Some people go on to find inspiration in many things, go on journeys, deal with grief, inner outter, find religion and success any many ways shapes and forms. This is the Champions to me in the Begining and let the story unfold. For Alexandra Bastedo as Sharon Macready, Stuart Damon as Craig Stirling and of course, William Gaunt, my favourite, Richard Barrett. Anthony Nichols as Treymayne, may the begining be the start of whatever you are searching for in life. Noiseworks Lyrics "Noiseworks Miles And Miles lyrics" Some people sing treading high above the world But I say let us roll, 1, 2, 3, 4... Floating high above the world I see for miles and miles It's such a magic place I can see through sleeping eyes A message in the air I hope will change the world I look all around me Don't wanna change my view 'Cause I've been dreaming of love Baby, I tell you (chorus) If you need a little bit of lovin', come on I'll show you what to do If you need a little bit of lovin', come on I'll show you what to do, come on I can see for miles and miles I got it all worked out I wanna take you there We'll stand upon the mountain top Where we can scream and shout And no one else will care Well, I'm only dreamin' but it feels so good I wanna dream a little harder Make it all come true (chorus) Here we go, take a chance... We all need it, need <b>...</b>
