Get Along (Guy Sebastian song)

"Get Along" is a song performed by Australian recording artist Guy Sebastian, released in November 2012 as the fourth single from his seventh album Armageddon.

[7] Sebastian said that in the lead up to the birth of his first child in early 2012 he began analysing the world his son would grow up in.

[8] He explained that while he had always taken notice of the state of world affairs, he had never written about it in song, as he had never felt it was his position or role "to put it to paper as a songwriter".

[11] He said it is his favourite song he has written, and that he is proud of its message that if people were more accepting of different religions, cultures and races the world could be a better place.

Jamie Horne, music journalist for the Border Mail called the song "inspiring" and said it was "a lyrical triumph.

'Get Along' is a song about hope, peace and understanding and a dream that perhaps one day we'll all be united, together as one people, one world, despite our differences in opinion, religion, creed and race.

"[21] David Lim, a music journalist and announcer on radio station Joy 94.9, wrote, ""The emotive political ballad 'Get Along' is possibly the best single Sebastian has ever released.

[22] Jessica Tisdell from music site Novastreamusic said, "The lyrics are definitely heart-warming and send a great message to humanity.

Filmmaker Phillip Graybill and director Hayden Topperwien travelled to 13 different countries to film footage of people going about their daily lives.

The video starts with a short interlude showing black and white images of war, and the assault of Rodney King by Los Angeles police officers in 1991.

The remainder of the video shows the footage filmed by Graybill and Topperwien, interspersed with Sebastian shown singing against a simple grey background.
