Tell Me Why (Archie Roach album)

Tell Me Why is a companion album to Australian singer songwriter Archie Roach's memoir of the same name.[2] It was nominated for Album of the Year at the 2020 National Indigenous Music Awards.Roach wrote "Open Your Eyes" in the late 1970s during a stint in rehab at Galiamble, a Men's Alcohol and Drug Recovery Centre in St Kilda.During whatever free time I had outside of our chores and the AA meetings, I would have with me a guitar, a pen and a notebook.One time, as I started writing what I thought was a poem, having always loved poetry, I looked down at the words: 'At fifteen I left my home, looking for the people I call my own, but all I found was pain and strife'.
