The track advances the story and pays homage to They Took The Children Away Archie Roach AM released the song 25 years ago from the seminal album Charcoal Lane and it’s with his blessings, this new sequel of a song is released to champion black excellence and remind us of the amazing things achieved since.
Jimmy Little, Adam Goodes, Lionel Rose, Patty Mills are just some of the greats referenced within this almighty shout-out by Briggs.
Archie Roach himself explains “I love Briggs’ song. It’s about our Indigenous heroes. Using a part of my song, where it says ‘the children came back’ is really what the song is about. I feel proud to be a part of what Briggs hopes to achieve and I really love that he used young children to play the heroes because they are our future heroes.”
