about
Romy Vager with a great reading of a very desolate song.
lyrics
Make Believe We’re Not Here In Hell
It’s a long dim trail
And the stars are milky streaks
And we’ve drifted so far
Your secret signals getting weak
Maybe they’ll never burn again
Those damn stars dim
And I can’t believe its you
When your voice is so thin
Maybe its time to make believe
And to sing those songs
If it stops the pain
But I don’t mind
And I won’t tell
If we make believe we’re
Not here in hell
Now when I look at you
I can feel your age
You don’t recover
Once you’ve reached this stage
I look at you
I see I need to hold you tight
Coz you’re shaking so hard
You just might fall apart with fright
Maybe it’s time to make believe
And to say those words
If it covers the shame
Cause I don’t mind
I won’t break the spell
If we make believe that we’re somewhere
You don’t have to kiss and tell
Now there’s demons in soft focus
And a fragrance in the wind
Is just the sweetest taste of poison
That will kill us in the end
But we’ve been so fucking sober
For the longest time
Won’t you please give me permission
To take just a little wine…
And to jump right in to where the water’s calm
And fall right back into each others arms
For the feel of love and some kind of sleep
It would taste so fine to sink so sweet and deep
Maybe it’s time to make believe
And to sing those songs
If it stops the pain
But I don’t mind
And I won’t tell
If we make believe we’re
Not here in hell

While it's been a while since The Blackeyed Susans last official release, they've not 'been away'. They're not that kind of band. The Susans, to long term friends like me (not keen on the word 'fan' - yes, you can ask me why some time), seep into your soul and psyche, changing you irrevocably. This release maintains that potency, and possibly captures the Susans at their best.
Rob Snarski's voice remains the most beautiful in this land (probably the world, really), and he captures the mood and intent of Phil's lyrics in a way no other singer can. Phil Kakulas, Kiernan Box, Graeme Lee, Dan Luscombe Mark Dawson, JP Shilo and Matt Habben remain outstanding, and paint a soundscape that is lush, moody and electrifying.
'The Lover Or The Loved' is a beautiful musing on that confounding condition called love, one that recognises the different positions two people can take in a relationship, and how those positions impact people singularly and collectively.
'Yellow Brown and Green' juxtaposes elements of nature with the cycle of life, demonstrating the closeness of both.
'The Good Life Never Ends', a David McComb track featured in the Susans live shows, makes it on here, and it's absolutely perfect. I've always loved David's wry and humorous observations of life, and the Susans capture the mood of this song beautifully.
'Dirty Minds (for a Dirty Age)' is swampy, dirty rock at its best, and is quite revelation! Phil takes the lead, and its dirty, gutsy stuff. Love it.
Thanks for coming back, Susans, but hey, you never went away. Sarah Sparks
