'ONE MINUTE'S SILENCE'

BY THE STEEL SPRINGS FEATURING
TEX PERKINS & RON BARASSI

AVAILABLE NOW ON ITUNES
TO BE PERFORMED AT MCG ON ANZAC DAY

To commemorate the Centenary of ANZAC, ARIA award winning musician Tex Perkinshas recorded 'One Minute's Silence' featuring Australian Rules Football legend Ron Barassi.

The Beasts of Bourbon and Cruel Sea front man, Tex Perkins, is joined by The Steel Springs (taking their name from a pivotal scene in the movie Gallipoli), The Welsh Choir and Ron Barassi who provides the voice of an unknown soldier "I was once like you, young and free, your future is my history. Lest We Forget".

The song was written by author of the Random House best-seller Saturday Afternoon Fever, Matthew Hardy, with help from local muso Richard Gillard (Secret Life Of Us Soundtrack) with profits going to Legacy. Hardy says "Listen to it once the whole way through and tell us you didn't get goose bumps".

Matthew Hardy said "I recalled how Ron Barassi's father was a Rat Of Tobruk who died in action. I approached Ron with the song and he was on board at once. He does a lot for Legacy already and was happy to assist."

This unique and heart-warming song will be performed live for the very first time by The Steel Springs with Tex Perkins in a fan-packed MCG on Anzac Day.

The single is available via iTunes for $2.19 with proceeds to LEGACY.

'One Minute's Silence' Lyrics One minute's silence, lest we forget The Army Corp that went to war And still haven't come home yet One minute's silence Dawn service at the Shrine Keep April 25 alive Remember those who did not survive One minute's silence For we are young and free Went to fight to uphold our rights Landed at Gallipoli One minute's silence For we are young and free One minute's silence For we are young and free We love our island Safe in the South Seas Some call us lucky As lucky as we can be Some say it's beautiful Almost Heavenly Because the Anzacs Ensured that it would be One minute's silence Gunfire lights the sky It's not surprising They played two-up on the sly Have a beer if you're near an RSL Wear a medal proud on your lapel Spare a thought for those who endured Hell One minute's silence Preserve the legacy For diggers and their families Respect their memories One minute's silence For we are young and free Spare a moment's silence for me I was once like you Young and free Your future is my history Lest we forget One minute's silence, lest we forget The Army Corp that went to war And still haven't come home yet.
