I've had early Hunters and Collectors on the brain tonight.

(If you know their later, more commercial stuff you may not go this...)

The prompt for is “Quest”, and that’s what Hunters & Collectors were singing about in the Holy Grail

Singer-songwriter and guitarist Mark Seymour says of the song “I wanted to write a song to serve up this idea that regardless of what happens, you’ve got to stay true to the quest”

It’s a tale of triumph amidst adversity. To signify the players quest to win the Aussie Rules footy cup, Holy Grail was sung at four Grand Finals in 1998, 2002, 2009 and 2013

Seymour's lyrics also reflect the band's own flagging attempts to "crack" the American market

Song: Holy Grail
Band: Hunters & Collectors
Album: Cut
Released: 1992
Video: youtu.be/iQI5fdVCvlU?si=D7W4ix

Lyrics
“Woke up this morning
From the strangest dream
I was in the biggest army
The world has ever seen
We were marching as one
On the road to the holy grail”
