In an interview with British website and publication ''Songwriting Magazine'', Rob Hirst discussed how Midnight Oil were determined to be seen as an Australian band. In the same conversation he stated, "Land rights are something that appear in so many countries around the world, New Zealand, Canada, the United States, but we were determined that Midnight Oil wouldn't be seen as one of those international bands, writing songs that could have come from anywhere. We were determined to put place names and other specific bits and pieces in all our songs."<ref>{{cite web|url=https://www.songwritingmagazine.co.uk/how-i-wrote/beds-are-burning-midnight-oil|title=How I Wrote Beds Are Burning |website= Songwriting Magazine|last=Haskell|first=Duncan|date=5 May 2019 |access-date=May 15, 2023}}</ref> |
