I chose this song because I am a big country music fan, so I was very interested in seeing how country music in Australia compares to here in the states. I looked through and listened to a few different songs that initially came up when I did a simple google search of ‘Australian Country Songs’. I ended up picking this one because it was quite different from the country I am used to listening to and it was very interesting to examine a song that was not something I am familiar with. I would say the biggest difference in sound-wise to country music here vs. this song is that this song Land of Dreams, gives an almost folk-like sound. In the sense that there are different instruments such as the banjo and has a repetition of simple phrases through out the song. It reminds me of what country music sounded like in the past here in America. I really enjoyed this song, and also really liked how it was honoring their country and how proud they are to come from Australia.
