about
Rob Snarski sings a song that is, at least on the surface, as happy and uncomplicated as Dave's songs get.
lyrics
So Good To Be Home
My plane is descending
And the ground is rushing up
All the rows of cabin lights shaking
As the under-carriage makes touch
Thread of traffic lights on the highway
Leading back to my home
Green lawns are cut so neatly
You feel the skin tight against your bones
Well well you feel the skin
Tight against your bones
Cool breeze comes off the river
Blowing into my face
All the streets are just as clean as I left
When I left I didn’t leave a trace
No when I left I didn’t leave a trace
And they’re pouring out of the house to greet me
Greet me as their son
They’re all keen to know exactly
What is is I’ve done since I’ve been gone
What is is I’ve done since I’ve been gone
Where it is I’ve gone
Since I’ve been gone
All night long staring at the ceiling
All night long the same damn feeling
Such a fine, such a fine feeling
And the feeling, and the feeling goes like this
Well its so good to be home
Crawling up inside my old bed
Pulling up the sheets around my head
Crawling up inside
Take it easy now
Its so good to be home

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
