Morning of the Earth (Simple Ben by John J.Francis) (07:37)
A short clip of Albert Falzon's classic surf movie that is more than 30 years old now. If there was one surf movie worth watching it is this one.Here is a good link with information about the movie and the music.http://www.morningoftheearth.netSimple Ben...by John J.Francis(p)1972 wea Records pty ltd450990091-2recorded TCS MelbourneVinyl & CDThe song Simple Ben was produced by John J.Francis and was the only one on the album not produced by G.Wayne Thomas (from a poster)This exact same recording (with longer intro so the song runs just on 8 minutes) appears on John J Francis's Breaks, Works and Thoughts album, released in 1973. The cover of that album indicates that this song (and all the others on the album) were recorded at Copperfield Sound Studios in Sydney. (from another poster)Simple Ben by John J.FrancisWalkin' on a dusty road in the countryside of easeI heard a song driftin' on the gently blowin' breezeSunshine through the Autumn, sweet snow to the Spri-ingCorn by the water of an old mill stream, and you give me all, you give me allA barrow pushed by a little man came rollin' from the westHe sang a song as he stepped along until we drew abreastWell hello there my friend, I see you're on the road here just like meWhy don't we stop and rest a while and I'll boil a pot of teaJust give me sunshine through the Autumn, sweet snow to the Spri-ingCorn by the water of an old mill stream, and you give me all, you give me allHe said his name was Simple Ben but not what I'd believeChristened by the way he thought and not the way he livedI've seen the best and worst that we have here on our earthAnd finally decided on the things that I get worthJust give me sunshine through the Autumn, sweet snow to the Spri-ingCorn by the water of an old mill stream, and you give me all, you give me allI asked if he had seen the great jets fly across the skyHe said he'd seen the smallest bird learnin' how to flyHave you seen the bridges stretched across the baysI've seen the smallest fish alive dyin' in the hazeHave you seen the massive buildin's reached towards the sunI've seen the fields of barronness from the work that man has doneWhat about the dams and weirs that feed the countrysideI've seen the brownness of the grass when the dams and weirs run -Just give me sunshine through the Autumn, sweet snow to the Spri-ingCorn by the water of an old mill stream, and you give me all, you give me allWhat about the fertile lands where nothin' once would growI've seen the landshttp://www.gwaynethomas.com/Yup new website!!!
