The song was released in September 1990 as his debut single. The song was included on Roach's debut studio album Charcoal Lane. At the ARIA Music Awards of 1991, the song was nominated for ARIA Award for Breakthrough Artist – Single.[1] In 1991, "Took the Children Away" won Roach the Human Rights Achievement Award, the first time that the award had been bestowed on a songwriter.[2] In 2013, the song was added to the Sounds of Australia registry in the National Film and Sound Archive.[3] Background and releaseRoach was a part of the stolen generation a policy that ran from 1909 until the 1970s where Indigenous Australian children were forcibly removed from their family by Australian government agencies, and placed in an orphanage. Roach wrote "Took the Children Away" about this experience in 1988. He performed the track on a community radio station in Melbourne and on an Indigenous current affairs program. Australian musician Paul Kelly invited Roach to open his concert early in 1989, where he performed "Took the Children Away". His performance was met with stunned silence, followed by shattering applause.[4] The song became significant as it was released at a time when there was increasing public focus on the Stolen Generations.[2] Track listing{{Track listing| headline = single | total_length = | title1 = Took the Children Away | length1 = 5:24 | title2 = No No No | note2 = | length2 = 3:49 }} Release history
