This song is so pretty, yet painful to listen to since David is no longer with us. What a gifted musician, and a great songwriter! I love this song. Missing you, David.
OMG he was a few months younger than me! I think he was in the year after me at Melbourne University but I never met him. One of my housemates was in a class with him and found him intimidating but he was brilliant enough for that to be forgiven. So many great memories of seeing the Triffids throughout the 80s and one sad one from the mid 90s of seeing him with the Red Ponies and too drunk to perform. At the time I had the fleeting thought that he might be on the way out..... : (
On this New Years, and all that 2020 is, this song, and David, Triffids, and the past of their music, lights me. It resonates so much today. Why is there no passion like this left?
One of that rare songs you want to listen to from the very beginning to the very end. One of that rare videos that you want to watch from the very .....
Twice (two times) I saw the Go Betweens and the Triffids on the same night in a night club in Melbourne in the mid 80's. Even got to have a chat and beer with Robert Forster and Bob 'Bongo' Starkie (ex-Skyhooks, and owner of The Club). Heady days.
you guys do know ricky and i try and spread the word about these guys far and wide.its smart that ya have them up here. we need to post "do you want me near you" its a stand out track.. anton/bjm
Misto de echo; de dorrs de Joy division.....Leonard Cohen.....simplesmente maravilhoso o triffids.....pena....pena.....morreu o Mac.comb, mas a maravilha de suas obras ficaram pra sempre.....sonoridade; letras; vocais.....cantava com a alma; não existe mais isso nesses durissimos 2022

Great song , great band

Passion got auto-tuned out of music some years ago...
A tear for you, David! Somehow a friend! R.I.P. I never forget.
The melody line in the verses reminds me of Leonard Cohen's Hallelujah. The chorus is spin-chilling and very emotional!
1:35 "is that still you?" The whole song... Just genius.
Wonderful

So delicate!. A magic song!
One of the best aussie bands of all time, along with the go betweens, shame they never got the raps they so richly deserved.f.....g grouse.

So many stand out tracks.
sublime
With things being what they are
Never in song and literature have six words grappled the heart
Try some Died Pretty.
They rip your heart out n kick it around
Pezzo da brividi. Non hanno avuto il successo che avrebbero meritato
Great song, haven't heard it for years.
Goes brilliantly with "Fairytale of New York" of the same year...
favourite
