about

Recorded in Melbourne/Naarm

Oh Ruby is Dedicated to Ruby Hunter and Archie Roach who's love story inspired this song.
Archie Roaches incredible book "Tell Me Why" played a big part of understanding the depths of his and Ruby's bound.

We respectfully acknowledge the Wurundjeri people of the Kulin Nations who are the Traditional Owners of the land where “Oh Ruby” was written and filmed. We pay our respects to their elders, past, present and emerging and we acknowledge that sovereignty was never ceded and extend our respect to Ruby Hunter’s people, of the Ngarrindjeri nation, and to Archie Roach’s people, of the Gunditjmara and Bundjalung nations.

lyrics

Oh Ruby
How’d you do this to me
Oh Ruby, how'd you make me smile
Meet you in the darkest place
But you shone so clear
Flipped a coin and choose a path
It took me to you my dear

Oh Ruby
How’d you do this to me
Oh Ruby, you're the one for me
Never knew a love like you
And I’ve never again
Saw you standing in that blue dress
But it could have been red

Oh Ruby
How’d you do this to me
Oh Ruby, you always lead the way
We would travel down city streets
Meeting folk from Hopkins Creek
Getting dazed by those brown eyes
In them I saw my life

Your voice echos deep in my soul
Awakens spirits unknown
Depth from the deepest sea
Essence through the breeze

Oh Ruby
How’d you do this to me
