Open Shut Them (and Other Opp

Broadcast 2025-07-28

This is a very clever song. 

It piggybacks on to the Dry July alcohol free campaign to raise money for supporting people affected by cancer.

It seeks to remind us that there are people for whom Dry July means something beyond giving up drinking for a month.

As you can guess from the instrumentals, this is about the issues in rural Australia, where a dry July means something completely different.

It’s about the bleak reality of facing first hand the impact of drought on rural Australians.

It’s a perspective that only seems to get more than a headline when you watch Landline on the ABC.

Songs about the effect of drought have been a staple of the Australian folk scene, for example, Eric Bogle’s “Now I’m Easy” which emphasises that split between the city and the country.

“there’s no drought or starving stock on a sewered suburban block”

Big Delicious takes that to the next level, 

“I hope I see you next Dry July.”

Because, there’s no guarantee, is there? When there’s no rain, there’s no crops, no pasture, no stock.

Every time you see those headlines, remember there are people who see no future, for their farm, their family or themselves.
