Streets of Your Town - The Go-Betweens
The Go-Betweens were a Brisbane, Queensland rock group who formed a band and started performing in the 1980's, this particular song was recorded in 1980 on an album called '16 Lovers Lane'. I have always enjoyed this and a few of their other songs; I like this video which was produced in April, 1996. The video shows archival footage of a typical country town in the 1980's mixed with footage from a later era. The song tells a story about the fate of many country towns in Australia where people die out, the younger people move on to find work in the cities and more and more stores and services stop and sadly the towns die too.
