"Soldiers" is the second single from the album Hourly, Daily by Australian rock band You Am I. It was released in 1996 and reached number 80 in the 1996 Triple J Hottest 100 [1] and number 33 on the Australian charts. [2]
Tim Rogers said that the song was "very consciously" recorded with "boppy" horns, rather than distorted guitars, reflecting the music the band was listening to at the time. "You Am I were rock for four years, but we wanted to make something different." [3]
The video clip directed by Andrew Lancaster won the ARIA Award for Best Video at the ARIA Music Awards of 1996. [4]
All songs by Tim Rogers.
"Boulder Fair", "Six" and "Count to Four" are all You Am I originals.
