There is more to this story than just a song. There is history hidden within the story about the interactions of distant indigenous groups living in Australia, that is, before it became known as Australia following the white invasion.

It is an illustration of a pre-technology folk process relating to music and lyrics and the longevity of a song even into the technological age.

One thing that struck me while listening to the podcast is the joy in the voices of the indigenous people listening to the song and then recalling memories from their lives relating to that song.

I'd have to listen again to the podcast to find the exact quote, but one of the people said that the song is more than just a song, it is an integral part of their culture.

It is an illustration of the indigenous phrase, Always Was, Always Will Be.
