about
Angie Hart handles this lyric with aplomb. This song doesn't exactly overflow with optimism.
lyrics
Second Nature
Did you dream of this loneliness
Or is this what we’ve travelled so far for
Close your eyes, open them again
Is the way things are the way things always were
The way things always were
Oh Jesus made a promise
He kept to it as best as he could
But as things turned out
We didn’t burn out the way
The good lord thought we would
It’s second nature to hurt someone
Simplest thing is to treat them like dirt
Comes in the blood it’s in the water supply
Second nature second nature to hurt
Sleep in a little too late
By the time you get to work
Your boss is in such a state
Turn on the radio there’s nothing going down
Your lover gets his kicks just kicking you around
Just kicking you around
The sun upon my knees
The rosary clutched in my fist
I’d give all my money search my bag
But it’s getting so hard to be a good woman

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
