Mainstream is about Yunupingu’s vision for an Australia in which Yolngu and non-indigenous people can live together.
He was inspired by a river site by his homeland where saltwater and freshwater currents meet. This produce a yellow foam on the surface of the water, and that is what’s referenced in...
Mainstream Lyrics
Reflection in the water I see
Six pretty girls on my mind today
Yellow foam floating down the river
Voices I hear of Yolngu heroes
Go go go go living in the mainstream
Go go go go under one dream
Monsoon clouds
Rolling over the ocean
Thunder and rain
Raging here tonight
Hear the sound of speargrass crying
Cross rivers and valleys
On Yolngu land
Go go go go living in the mainstream
Go go go go under one dream
Go go go go living in the mainstream
Go go go go under one dream
Go go go go living in the mainstream
Go go go go under one dream
Reflections in the water we see
Black and white
Living together
Sharing dreams of the red, black and gold
Living dreamtime now
Is the Yolngu way
Go go go go living in the mainstream
Go go go go under one dream
Go go go go living in the mainstream
Go go go go under one dream
We're living together
We're living together
We're learning together
We're living together
Yolngu
Balanda
Yo (yo) yo (yo) yo (yo)
Yo (yo) yo (yo) yo (yo)
This is Australia
