In the spring of 1967 , "Who'll Be the One," the first single after "Friday on My Mind ," appeared. More would follow, but surpassing or even coming close to the heights achieved by their most famous song was almost impossible.
These Australians created many more splendid songs, full of youthful spirit and contagious vitality. But genius and near-perfection happen on rare occasions. And with "Friday on My Mind," they achieved what others are never granted: creating a landmark work, the most sublime composition, achieving total mastery in their genre.
It has been named the greatest Australian song of all time several times and is also considered a working-class anthem. It's the hope of the end of the work week and Friday arriving to enjoy the delights of the city. Told simply, without grandiloquence or exaggeration, but with all the passion that their voices and instruments were able to convey. It has been acting in our minds for decades like an antidepressant potion or a benevolent drug.
