rusty#IWasOnly19 This song always makes me cry. I don't hardly ever cry.
Kai AshThe Herd did a cover version of Redgum's I Was Only 19 the year after I was introduced to the original in English. It was for Triple J's Like a Version and is well worth a listen https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=0yfuR5b-hBo
The Herd covers Redgum 'I Was Only 19' for Like A Version
And the Anzac legends didn't mention mud and blood and tears
And the stories that my father told me never seemed quite real.
I caught some pieces in my back that I didn't even feel
God help me, I was only nineteen.

This one's a new one for me: The Herd covered Redgum's I Was Only 19. Wow. They say it's a cliche to say that a Hottest 100 gave you goosebumps, but this one did it for me. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=0yfuR5b-hBo
