Flashover was produced by one of Reconciliation SA’s own team.
The inspiration for the song “Flashover” arose from a deep understanding of the impact of the referendum on Aboriginal people and the struggle since colonisation.
In the spirit of reconciliation, a non-Aboriginal friend, Liam Waddill, suggested the title “flashover” after listening to the song, His rationale tied into the theme of fire in the song, symbolising the referendum as the pivotal stage where progress towards reconciliation could have been realised, likening it to the critical phase in a fire’s development.
We hope that everyone can listen to this single and find something in it that helps them understand the nature of pain, strength and resilience.
