Electric Fields are the first duo to represent Australia at the Eurovision Song Contest.
Fans might well remember the pair from SBS’ 2019 national selection show, Eurovision – Australia Decides , where they came a close second to Kate Miller-Heidke with their unforgettable track 2000 And Whatever .
The extraordinary voice of Zaachariaha Fielding and brilliance of producer and keyboardist Michael Ross unite in a way that merges traditional living culture with music that ranges from soulful pop to epic-scale electronica.
Their song incorporates Yankunytjatjara; an Aboriginal language of the Anangu peoples, one of the oldest living cultures on earth.
Lyrics to One Milkali (One Blood)
I stand in the eye of the spiral
One of them billion-iIlions, billion-iIlions
My soul slips away from its title
One of them billion-iIlions
And I descend to the centre of the earth
I may be dreaming,
But the atoms are awake,
Spill the tea on reality,
And the 0.618
What ya gonna do in the real world Mickey?
What ya gonna do when you see?
Milkali, milkali kutju, Milkali
Escape with us to the planets
To the Fleetwood Macs and the Janets
Milkali la
While entertaining the Gods
One Milkali la, Milkali la
It’s raining love
One Milkali la, Milkali la
We’re on a gravitron
As it tangles
With them billion-iIlions
Of our souls and angels
We kiss and matter dismantles
To see we don’t own the universe
Feel the borders blur
We belong to her
I may be dreaming,
But the atoms are awake,
Spill the tea on reality,
And the 0.618
What ya gonna do in the real world Mickey?
What ya gonna do when you see?
Milkali, milkali kutju, Milkali
Escape with us to the planets
To the Fleetwood Macs and the Janets
Milkali la
While entertaining the Gods
One Milkali la, Milkali la
It’s raining love
One Milkali la, Milkali la
While entertaining the Gods
One Milkali la, Milkali la
It’s raining love
One Milkali la, Milkali la
Milkali, milkali kutju
Milkali, milkali kutju
Milkali la One Milkali la
It’s raining love
Milkali la, one Milkali la, Milkali la
One Milkali la
