These Days Lyrics:
It's coming round again
Slowly creeping hand
Of time and its command
Soon enough it comes
And settles in its place
Its shadow in my face
Puts pressure in my day
This life well it's slipping right through my hands
These days turned out nothing like I had planned
It's coming round again
The slowly creeping hand
Of time and its command
It settles in its place
Its shadow in my face
Puts pressure in my day
Soon enough it comes
Here it is again
Slowly creeping hand
Time and it's command
Soon enough it comes
Settles in it's place
It's shadow in my face
Undignified and lame
This life well it's slipping right through my hands
These days turned out nothing like I had planned
Control well it's slipping right through my hands
These days turned out nothing like I had planned
Soon enough it comes
Soon enough it comes
Too tie us down
It's coming round again
Slow, slowly creeping hand
This life well it's slipping right through my hand
These days turned out nothing like I had planned
Control well it's slipping right through my hand
These days turned out nothing like I had planned
Powderfinger performing 'These Days' for the final time live.
About Powderfinger.
One of Australia’s most loved and successful bands ever, Powderfinger’s domination of the music scene spanned two decades and included five #1 albums, countless hit singles, two #1 spots in triple j’s Hottest 100, 18 ARIA Awards, 3 APRA Awards and some of the biggest tours this country has ever seen. They left an indelible mark, with songs like ‘My Happiness’, ‘These Days’ and ‘Sunsets’ becoming part of the fabric of Australia’s cultural landscape.
How many Aussies come back to this over and over and over? never gets old.
just did lol!
Absolutely
yup
Yeah because who knew it'd turn out like this?
I'm Irish and I seen these guy play in Dublin...they were amazing. Very underrated globally
“These days” is Australian suburban life’s captured essence, melancholy and sun bleached, simply beautiful
You've hit the nail on the head there. Perfectly put
@@seandowney5249 great Aussie band, always will be 🇦🇺
Surely is. The sound of Australia humming in the background as you sit on the verandah with a tinnie listening to the cicadas and wait for Christmas
Beautifully said
Life was so much better
I have stage 4 cancer, this song touches the heart. Wish I could've done more for my wife and kids. God bless
힘 내세요! ❤❤❤
Hope you’re doing well ✝️🙏
Hi!
Be kind and positive to everyone
bless your soul brother if you're still with us - prayers to you and your family
It is 2020, and this band was never known here in the USA. I have just discovered them a few weeks ago because I listen to a podcast that has an Australian co host. He mentioned this band and I got hooked on my happiness. This jd the first time I heard this song, and apparently it was their last performance, I cried. Even though I just heard about them, i feel very connected to this band. They are still gaining new fans in 2020.
Roger Toledano right on, in New Zealand, same situation as myself, check out fat Freddys drop and six60, you’re in for a treat mate
Join there you tube channel they have a new/live concert on the 23/5 should be awesome
I cry every time I hear it for the same reason.
It's all killer, enjoy 😎
You should watch their live co-vid show tonight- one night only
Luck, timing , management, POWDERFINGER should have been a worldwide success
This song explained my life for many years. I was adrift and had fallen into a life that was not what I had imagined when I was young. I felt trapped and depressed. But rather than end it, I thought I should shoulder the blame for my poor decisions and choose the life I wanted. Now I have the life I want and have found my happiness. It can be done.
I am hearing you on your comment. I also need to & am owning it & so dearly want to change things...hope you are doing well!
I have terminal cancer.
These words touch me so deeply I have them tattooed on my arm for posterity.
Wish I’d had the chance to see them live
Haha
I sincerely hope you beat the odds x
Hope yr still here.. ❤
@@eeeeaaaa6457wtf?
Prayers ❤ .
I've avoided watching this for years, well today I finally did it. And yep, it's as emotional as I thought it would be, balling my eyes out. I first saw them as a 17 year old, they've always been part of my adult life. So many memories and good times listening to their songs . Thanks gents 👌
dont worry mate you're not alone, brought a tear to my eye too , fucking magical 🤗
Reminds me of when I watched crowded houses final performance truly sad but thanks for the awesome music boys use are legends
Who's here 2024?
I'm here 😁
Fu 2024. What's next genius? 2025? Fuk off twat😂😂😂
Fuck stop asking that
I’m here
I’m here, un fucking real, let’s rock the hos 🤟👍
Got diagnosed with Parkinson’s two years ago , the words to this song have real meaning to me, This life well it’s slipping right through my hands, these days turned nothing like I planned - its slowing creeping in . It’s bringing a tear😢
Keep going chief.
Fk... hang in there mate
Hope you’re ok. We could have a cure tomorrow, you never know. Stay strong
cbd oil?
I hope your managing as well as can be. A few cold beers has never harmed a person with Parkinson's. Take as good care as possible. Cheers from Paul
The MOST underrated Aussie band ever! I grew up with other great Aussie bands - Cold Chisel, INXS, AC/DC ETC ETC and saw them all live in pubs but Powderfinger just resonates with world class musicians, songwriters and performers. If you saw their virtual live concert during COVID you will understand.
You guys have to re-form and share your magic once again - there are so many people who will love this! 😎🥰👍
We wish it could happen. They do a 10 reunion. It was 2019. I'm sorry, but I know personally. They won't re-form because of many reasons. The drummer left.
It's not too early to come out of retirement guys....pls pls plssss tour again...Australian music needs you...
110%!!
Yeah so true. Most of the other bands of the early 90s have had a revival. So we are due for a PF tour soon.
please!
oh come on, the Arias are coming up, with all that musical talent like um ... like umm... those um
Misapa Chilala wffwddd
Brilliant song, brilliant performance. Powderfinger, one of the most underrated bands ever.
Well written mate
Everybody saying Powderfinger weren't known in the US, not quite right. I've known and loved this band since I first heard them shortly after my brother died in September 2000, a few days after after the release of Odyssey Number Five. They were one of the things I can credit with helping me deal with my grief about his loss of life.
Its almost a crime Powderfinger didn't make it globally, they had huge success in Australia.
Powderfinger is for us.
I'm from New Zealand and a big fan. So many good hits, and their songs aren't just spewed out commercial shit like so many songs are these days. They are true talent, a real band. cheers Australia.
Disagree to a point. But respect the intent. PF rock the world. They are legend-dairy. Rock on dudes.
So many great musicians out there. I guess we must share it
..bit of an oasis feel about this one ..or visa versa
Not many songs that hit you like this one does, TRUTH!
wear a helmet
This is one of my favourite songs from these guys. Always brings a tear to my eye and a lump to my throat. Absolutely awesome.
Time to start crying after that banga of a live performance
th-cam.com/video/r_V5jNSYjAs/w-d-xo.html they just performed online for the first time since this performance for afew charities, I'm sure you are aware, but on the off chance you or anyone who notices thi sisn't- enjoy
@@kuikyroje haha yeah I should have specified but I had just finished watching that when I came to this video
I am 61 years old, my father died this week, thank you for making me cry with happiness. God, you have a gift Bernard Fanning!!!
Rip
I wish you love and light Gary, big huggs for you.
So sad. Love this song. May your father rest in peace
My son died for 1 year. These song war so god.
Hope his memory has remained strong.
With all the 80s and 90s bands coming back on the scene, and the enormous draw they have for crowds in festivals like Day of the Green and Red Hot Summer Tours, I'm really surprised that Powderfinger hasn't reformed and toured. They could headline everywhere! Hunters & Collectors are doing it now too. So come on Powderfinger! Get back on the road! Put out another album! We fucking love you!
Will forever be one of my favourite bands of all time. Got me through some of the toughest times life has thrown at me. ❤
Me too Matt, merry Xmas mate 👍🤘
Bought this album during my 'year out in Oz' back in 2000/2001. 14 years later back in the UK (and now happily married and in my 40s) I still love this track and the great memories I have. Good times!
Dan Potter exactly the same. Backpacking in 01/02
Me too. Same year. Happy and Incredible times
@@neilkent8328 And me as well. Year round the world in 2000/1. Spent about 5 months in Oz. Loved these guys ever since. They make an awesome noise. Just as good nearly 20 years later.
@@stevenpink641 good on yah mate some of the best crew we had on our grape harvesting crew were poms (and believe me that’s a term of endearment ) we would love to see you blokes again may we never change our flag proud of our history.
Grown man, shedding a tear here... How good are The Finger.!!! That track was perfectly captured by Berny Boy, so moving... Spend 24+ years honing your craft and sadly PF were never better than when they disbanded. What a talent Bernard is, they're all brilliant... Australia's best kept secret - LONG LIVE AUSSIE LIVE MUSIC
They picked me up hitchhiking once when I was a uni student, couldn't believe it.
Jungle John that's awesome bro
what a beautiful memory
Jammy bastard
bullshit. fake
👍
I'm 55 this year. I've seen everything from Midnight Oil in my teens to whatever it is they call music in 2024. Powderfinger are the greatest Aussie band Ive seen in my lifetime.
edit: That includes Cold Chisel. Just.
The Gurus gave it a fair crack
The Best Music , nothing like Great Music especially live. Little River Band ,Ian Moss .The Saints 😊😊
Don’t anyone get it?
Don’t let your life slip through your hands. Do what you dream of. Don’t get to the end regretting what you didn’t do.
Steve Brady too right my man
Too late
Too late .....
It just hit me today
Absolutely
This guy has more emotion in his voice than most people have in their body.
This song hits me hard !! Absolutely one of the greatest performances I've ever seen. I love this song !
my mates casket was carried to this 😢😢😢😢
RIP WILLOW💙💙💙💙
Im sorry for your loss
Man I am sorry bro
Michael Summersides 😣 play it again for him
I'm so sorry for your loss♥♥ my beautiful brother passed away nine months ago from dementia i wish that i heard of this song then as i would have played it for him as we carried him out with this song playing♥♡♥♡
Played this song at my dads funeral
Brilliant song, brilliant performance. Powderfinger, one of the most underrated bands ever.
🇰🇭
And I bet it was for a brilliant man. I know it's 3 years old this comment,but I just want you to know we are thinking of you and your dad 🤙
I am a Canadian boy, saw these guys once and they were awesome, my Aussie buddy turned me on to them and they turned out to be one of my fave bands of all time. Would have loved to see them this one last time!! Lets hope they get back together for a reunion tour!!
I hope you caught their Covid concert live streamed
@@kayelle8005 thanks Kerryn I got up at 5am to watch it in my Mancave and it was amazing!! I have it downloaded and love to listen to it!! Best regards
I'm not an Aussie but an Aussie colleague of mine introduced me to PowderFinger about 10 years ago - it was one of the best music tips ever! This is a poignant and powerful performance, how can you not love it?
Somehow even though it's been almost 6 years since their last performance I still feel really sad that such a great amazing band like Powderfinger has broken up. At least they ended their career with quite possibly the best way ever by finishing off on such a great song like this one. Hopefully, one day maybe in years time when they're all old they'll reunite for one final farewell tour before disembarking on their musical careers all together.
all good bands get back together... don't worry Powderfinger will..
+Mikel Shang I hope they do eventually but from what I've seen recently Bernard Flanning seems really happy with his solo stuff.
Mikel Shang they cant make money selling cds too much piratin goin on..only way bands these days to make money is live tours
SPLENDOUR!!
OK
What a tear jerker performance.... I would give away my right foot to see them perform again! Love you powderfinger!!
In an age of views this feels underrated unbelievable song deserves more
Luke Barton i reckon this is their best.
I am both amazed and sad I am JUST finding this incredibly talented band in 2019. Truly moving.
I love this song! Still playing it all these years. Long live the 80's 🎉
✌️💚🙏
this is 2000s... but yes lol
Man I must be chopping onions every time I watch this
I work in a servo and I promise, whenever a powderfinger song is playing, any customer aged between 18/50 knows the song... either sings, taps, hums... ice junkies dance.. ♥️ u guys xx
I work in a bottlo.. Same thing.. Same thing..
Those were indeed the days. I fell in love with this band right from their early days, and was lucky enough to see them live a couple of times. Australia has produced some damn fine bands over the years, and these guys are up there with the best of them.
Too fucken right!!!!!!
_ Harvs bloody oath
Why did you break up when I was 12??? I was too young to appreciate this brilliance
Jimi Hendrix died before I was born, So did Mozart. You get to appreciate their genius now, though.
You are now 22 and can appreciate the brilliance because they are back
Hell, reminds me of travelling oz and nz in 2021/22 on the green fuck trucks. Watching Two Hands film then sitting supping beer on Bondi…..I need that again
Now 58. Mum dad 87. Time really does slip through your hands. Lyrics for everyone. Just love this song as it reminds me how precious life and TIME truly is. Thankyou and long happy life POWDERFINGER
I’m 62 and lost mum and dad over 20 years ago so enjoy lucky you
Played this song at my dads funeral
jimmy walkley, this song was played at my mums funeral. Holds great meaning to me now.
jimmy walkley 😂😂😂 so sad
Good selection mate!!!!
We played dire straits at my uncle's, whole new meaning now
Many lives are tragedies, that’s reality
I thought I understood what this song meant at 16 when it came no. 1 in the hottest 100. A few months later I learned what pain and regret and loss really feels like and how real the sentiment behind this song is. Now when I hear it I recall how innocent that 16 year old was and it’s a knife in the heart.
I'm sorry that happened to you at such a young age. Everybody deserves a few good years of innoncence. Yous was cut way too short. Eventually it happens to us all. I'm 70.
best Brisbane band ever
elser won best Australian band ever*
THE SAINTS?
Mornington Peninsula band
Long way from Brisbane
elser won best Australian band*
I love Powderfinger, but i give Brisbane's best band to Regurgitator, simply for their genre-bending. I don't think there are many other Aussie bands which are or were as versatile as Regurgitator is.
Who is here after One Night Lonely?
Me!
Before and after✌
Main song at my brother’s funeral in 2014. He was 33, heroin OD.
Control and plans are overrated. Let the chips fall where they may :)
I am sorry for your loss bro
Abbey Rose Lee R.I.P.
Yeah mate, like Mike Tyson said, everyone has a plan until they get punched in the face.
Not enough Aussies realise just how great Powderfinger were. Not even Powderfinger themselves!
Well said.
Absolutely brilliant Australian music!
Best performance of the best song by the best Aussie rock band ever!
I believe INXS are the greatest Aussie rock band ever
I believe Savage Garden are the greatest Aussie rock band ever.
Get out.
Your funny
You're
Heath Ledgers song RIP
being a Brisbane lad Powderfinger never denied or cringed from their origins! One of the greatest bands ever!
The still at 8.04 really did me in the feelz. The saddest and most beautiful moment in Aussie rock ever... What song writers, what a vocalist, what a band
+Charlie Aydin Agree!!!! Bernard sooo hot...
Couldn't have said it better Charlie, so sad yet so amazing! Give anything for one more live proformance.
Stop being an insensitive fuckhead
yeah they maybe, but they've still got more talent than any cunt that's come out in the past 10 years
Totally agree amazing band one I really miss.... I I was so lucky and got to meet them...☺️
These guys deserved so much more.
Odyssey Number Five was a extraordinary album for an equally extraordinary decade.
An idea....get the band back together again and do a concert with a bunch of other great Aussie bands who we don't hear of anymore to raise valuable money to support our eastern staters who have lost everything including our priceless wildlife that are also suffering.....please
great idea this would be amazing
Yes Yes yes.....
Lisa Warner ok great you organize it
Rona Live Aid
Hunters and Collectors.
This would have to be the best final song delivered by any band. Nailed the emotion, already in the song, to the moment, perfectly. Thank you. Obviously in tears years later.
Salute.
Yep. Gets me every time, and deeper than I'd like for some reason 😢 They hit on a truth with this song.
When I listen to this song I'm always reminded of the movie 'Two Hands'. Rest in peace Heath😚
The two hands version is the best version and suited that scene perfectly. One of the strongest scenes in any Aussie movie.
They wrote this song, specifically for the movie two hands
Great movie. I had not listened to the song much until I saw the movie.
I dunno how many times I've watched this over the years. Makes me cry every single time. Reminds me of my teenage years. Chills at the beach countless nights with powder finger in the background. They will always be gods. Far out. Nothing compares...
Terri Barrett and Australia days down at the beach playing cricket and boogie boarding with a hotdog while it's playing in the background
I grew up listening to powderfinger too and even now, years later and living on the other side of the world, as soon as I hear a powderfinger song I see the beach in my home town and I'm immediately home. They just sound like Australia. I can't describe it. The best band ever.
Love you guys, played this at my boyfriends funeral when he couldn't handle it anymore, but it gives me hope and beautiful memories.
Sorry to hear about your boyfriend.
It is a beautiful song. Hang in there. Sending you ❤
Was lucky enough to get tickets to this last ever concert. Such a poignant time in my life and this song reflects that. Such an amazing band. 🤘🏽
October 2021, locked down in Melbourne. Stay safe everyone, big hugs to the world in these days❤️
My song of 2020. This year was has been an absolute shocker, and this song kept me fighting. When they played this in the Live TH-cam performance this year I felt every emotion. Thankyou Powderfinger.
true blue ossie batler mate
Much love. ❤️
How a band like this ends up sitting round a table and says "I have a good idea, let's split up" ....I will never know!
i heard him say he had written all the things he had to say and ending where they did felt like the right thing to do. sad for us but beautiful for them 🤗
Song lyrics that are specific but unspecific...to bring you in, to make your mind fill in the blanks. To make the song specific to you...so easy and therefore so meaningful for you....equals a hit.
Thank you Powderfinger, have a break lads and make sure you come back, you are ausie legends, take your time, but come back please.
[Verse 1]
It's coming 'round again
The slowly creeping hand
Of time and its command
Soon enough it comes
And settles in its place
Its shadow in my face
Puts pressure in my day
[Chorus]
This life, well, it's slipping right through my hands
These days turned out nothing like I had planned
[Verse 2]
It's coming 'round again
The slowly creeping hand
Of time and its command
It settles in its place
It's shadow in my face
Puts pressure in my day
[Verse 3]
Soon enough it comes
Here it is again
The slowly creeping hand
Of time and its command
Soon enough it comes
And settles in its place
It's shadow in my face
Undignified and lame
[Chorus]
This life, well, it's slipping right through my hands
These days turned out nothing like I had planned
Control, well, it's slipping right through my hands
These days turned out nothing like I had planned
[Bridge]
Ooh, ooh
Ooh, ooh
Soon enough it comes (Ooh, ooh)
Soon enough it comes to tie us down (Ooh, ooh)
[Pre-Chorus]
Ooh
It's coming 'round again
Slow
Slowly creeping hand
[Chorus]
This life, well, it's slipping right through my hand
These days turned out nothing like I had planned
Control, well, it's slipping right through my hand
These days turned out nothing like I had planned
I come back to this very often, my glory days in Australia, which I spent more time living the moment when I was there. WOuld hop on plane to see them if they reunited.
Such a shame that I only discovered this band in 2013. Would've travelled from Germany to Australia for this show. Goosebump performance!
better late than never friend :)
hAnD90 also a shame they've said a reunion show in the future is highly unlikely but Bernard Fannings solo music is brilliant
First time I saw them live was when they played as an opening act for Silverchair. I was 17. Back in the late 90's. I knew they were going to be a big band one day. And they did. Chaos and fun in the moshpit. We used to be allowed to do stage diving back then, youth these days aren't allowed no more I was told, HAH!! WHAT A PITY!!
hAnD90 sorry to hear of your late discovery 😂👌grew up in brissy common fare on a Friday back in the day 😎👌
The only thing I’m sad about is that my kids won’t see these guys live. The 80s and 90s were incredible. I know every era has their life source, but Powderfinger were mine ....
Why did you break up when I was 12??? I was too young to appreciate this brilliance
Played this song at my dads funeral
Stolen comment fuck off
This is the most heart felt song i have ever know. My God.
Really Heart Touching song.
3:38 - 4:55 is just... I have no words. The power, the emotion, the joy, the sadness, the moment - it's everything. I love it.
I think 5:29 is my favorite moment, with the drummer nodding and appreciating that this is indeed the way it should be, the way it should end
@@MarijnvanWingerdenJon Coghil
I was lucky enough to see Powderfinger during their last tour in SA but i was only 10-11 so i can't remember much, I remember singing to Sunsets, one IMHO of the best songs ever
I'm so jelly...
I was born too late and never got to see them live, so this performance is really saddening :(
same here man, feel you
+Andy Wright that's what she said
I heard about these guys from my cousin randomly back in 2001, after he heard "My Happiness" on a trans-Atlantic flight. I got home, found Internationalist in an HMV, bought it, then went back the next day to buy Odyssey Number Five, and was lucky enough to see them when they came to Toronto. It was amazing to see them in such a small venue (they were - and still are, tragically - unknown in Canada, really). I was lucky, and they were awesome.
a monumental aussie band...saw them 20+ times.... live on powderfinger
reminds me of heath ledger every time great band :)
This performance of this song makes me cry. Jon's (the drummer's) face at 1:32 gets me. Regret that I never got to see them or really appreciate them until it was almost too late.
Shit why do such great bands end???? Loved their final concert such a talented group..
Boiii do i have news for you...
The should’ve ended earlier. Vulture Street and the albums afterwards were not too good. Should’ve stopped after Odyssey #5.
I grew up with you mob. I'm just a kid from Brisbane. I feel lonely but not when I listen to you. You are home.
If there was ever a band that should reunite, it's this one! Pretty please!
I am 65 years old. They took their name from one of my two favourite Neil Young songs, the other one being Like A Hurricane. I've seen Young live four times, but unfortunately never got to see these guys once. One of the great Aussie bands ever.
I truly hope this is not your last performance xox I would be so honoured to see you live... your music got me through some of my hardest times xox we still need u and brilliance of creativity u all collectively have made and make time again xox thank you for being you's
They’re back. They’re back and you could say my happiness is slowly creeping back.
I love this. As I am sure a lot of you visiting here love this too.
It's now 2021 and this has never felt more poignant. 💕 xx
Love your work, guys xx
My first concert was a Powderfinger concert I was like 8 on my dads shoulders, and ever since than they've been one of my favourite bands. Super emotional concert this one 👊🏼
Legendary Aussie band!!!
Just makes you want to appreciate what you got beacause one day it may not turn out as you plan and your life can be changed for ever RIP Powderfinger Nothing will ever beat you guys :)
I was there, whoever didn't cry is not a true fan, I cried for hours after the concert too :(
Net Trending jokes on you I’m only a recent fan so that’s not true
Thank god for music. When I struggle to live in this crazy messed up world, music makes sense. We connect, share, love and adore this band. Well done boys. Awesomely wonderful and thank you for sharing and caring.
´This life well it's slipping right through my hands
These days turned out nothing like I had planned`
It´s such an emotional song!! In life there is magic everywhere, search for beauty. You owe it to yourself.
Yes, search for beauty, you owe it to yourself!
Watching these guys say good-bye to their hometown crowd is awesome. I had never seen them before, but this video says to me that every once in a great while the world is 100% the way it should be. If you're going to go out, this is the way to do it.
Thank you from Denmark, you are the favorite band of MARY
Jezper Jenzen Mazza from tazzaye😊

It's 3:18am & I have a lump in my throat getting emotional watching this brilliant brilliant band! One of Australias best! 😞😞😞
2.32am on a wednesday night and feeling the same😔
These days truly have not turned out like I thought. Covid 2020. So much lost time. Hugs, kisses and family to loved ones.
Such a cool band. Aussie icons 🇦🇺
Saw them live at Deakin Uni in Geelong ... Must have been 20 odd years ago now! #feelingold
Gold indeed
I never heard of Powderfinger before 2006, after spending 2 seasons snowboarding in the Canadian Rockies, I was a fan...I miss all the indie music these days...Time is a bugga 👍✌️
