We are very happy to announce that the song "Surviving As One" has received massive support amongst local radio stations across Australia. We have been blessed with many comments and kind words regarding the song and we ask you all to keep requesting it to ensure that the song stays in everyone's mind lest we forget those who lost everything in the terrible bushfires. Here are some comments from radio stations across the country.
NSW – NORTH ALBURY – 2 REM 107.3 FM
It was not what I was expecting (folk/country style), but it is very good musically.
I will add it to the stations playlist today and I have asked various other presenters to play said song and either give me their feedback and or that of the listeners. So you may hear more from me in the near future regarding this.
NSW BATHURST - 2 MCE FM
Have listened to the track and thought it was great. Will be giving plenty of airplay from now on.
NSW – BLACKTOWN – SWR FM
Very touching !
NSW BRAIDWOOD – BRAIDWOOD COMMUNITY RADIO
You will be pleased to here that I have already played it and I love it, it is such a patriotic song and it really does give me goose bumps when listening to it, it also has one of those catchy tunes and lyrics that keeps playing over in my head even when the song has long finished.
NSW FORBES – VALLEY FM
I've just finished listening to it - it's beaut. I've taken it into the studio for this arvo's announcer, so it will get its first airplay on 2LVR today! It will also get plenty of airplay here as it will suit most of our presenters.
QUEENSLAND BOONAH – RIM FM
I downloaded a copy for me to listen to and I was so moved by the lyrics, it is without doubt the best I have heard for a long long time.
QUEENSLAND – BOWEN – GEM FM
The song is very special with tear jerking lyrics - also sung beautifully and the addition of the Choir was a great touch.
SOUTH AUSTRALIA – WOOMERA – RRR FM
I'm pleased to report that the programming committee have included Surviving as One" by Oztogether to the current station playlist.
VICTORIA CARLTON – SYN 90.7 Melbourne's premier Youth radio station.
Happy to say the song was played on our local music show the Hoist so you can add us to the list of community stations that have shown support.
The song was quite different to the usual music we play here on SYN but we made an exception for what is a great and important symbol of unity.
VICTORIA CROYDON – RADIO EASTERN 98.1
I have listened to "Surviving as One" and have scheduled it into my programs, and the response has been positive with the listeners.
VICTORIA FITZROY – 3 ZZZ
I must say that I was impressed, I didn’t expect it to be as good as it was. Most of the time when we get tributes from artists, their heart is in the right place but the music is just passable. In this case your production quality and melodic structure has a lot going for it and enough to put it in the realm of possibilities of being a hit with the right exposure.
WESTERN AUSTRALIA MEEKATHARRA – MEEKA FM
It was added to the playlist as a high priority track which means it would get a lot of airplay in comparison to ordinary tracks.
As you can see from the above comments, initial feedback from radio across Australia has been very good. We believe that this song can help the nation, emotionally, spiritually and all we ask is that you tell everyone about the song and of course come and download it for free from http://oztogether.org/node/5
