The single was released in September 1987 and reached No. 14 on the Australian singles charts.〔(【引用サイトリンク】title=Discography Paul Kelly )〕 "To Her Door" won an ARIA Music Award in 1988 for 'Best Video' directed by Claudia Castle.〔(【引用サイトリンク】title=ARIA Awards 2008: History: Winners by Artist search result )〕 In 2001, the Australasian Performing Right Association (APRA) listed the Top 30 Australian songs of all time, including "To Her Door" written by Kelly.〔(【引用サイトリンク】publisher=APRA ) Note: requires user to input song title e.g. TO HER DOOR〕 ==Music and lyrics== The song is a ballad about young love, the couple's marriage "hit the skids" and Kelly using a third-person narrator provides a fragment of this couple's struggle to survive. It has been described as a brutal and beautiful attempt at reconciliation. In the final verse, Kelly chooses to eschew a happy ending and reflect life's uncertainty: "Could he make a picture and get them all to fit?"〔 The song contains references to 'The Buttery', a drug and rehabilitation clinic on the north coast of New South Wales, 'Silver Top', a taxi company and 'Olympic', which is a local bus company. In an interview with Debbie Kruger, Kelly indicated that the song took seven years to write. Kelly uses the same protagonist in "Love Never Runs on Time" from 1994's ''Wanted Man'' and then in 1996's "How to Make Gravy" from the extended play ''How to Make Gravy''.〔 All three tracks appear on Kelly's live 8×CD boxed set, ''The A – Z Recordings'' (2010). The B-side, "Bicentennial", is about the plight of Australian Aborigines in the past and the present, highlighting aboriginal deaths in custody.〔 〕 In 1988, Australia celebrated its bicentenary, in the song Kelly writes from the point of view of those unimpressed with 200 years of white settlement.〔 抄文引用元・出典: フリー百科事典『 ウィキペディア（Wikipedia）』 ■ウィキペディアで「To Her Door」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
