about
Simon Breed sings this prescient song that becomes even more relevant as this world indeed begins to slide. How did he know?
lyrics
This Whole World’s About To Slide
I have to yodel, I have to moan
Loss of heart and hearth and home
Petrol stolen from my car
Money missing from my kitchen jar
Suspect my neighbour
I search his house
Follow his every movement about
Even spying on his kin
Taking note of every place he’s been
Photographing every place he’s been
Now my love can’t meet in your eye
Fearing that which you might hide
I can see through the soles of my feet
This whole world’s about to slide
Yeah, this whole world’s about to slide
The well you poisoned befalls another
First your friend, and, then your brother
Soon you cannot trust one face
Every drink you take might be laced
Prayed the sidewalk remained my friend
No matter break nor twist nor bend
And the voices following me
Stop talking so I may sleep
Stop chattering so I may sleep
I’m calling you all over this world
Dialing every ear that can be told
I can see through the soles of my feet
This whole world’s about to slide
Yeah, this whole world’s about to…
Alright now, but it’s alright now
Yes, it’s alright now
Tell me, how much lucky I got?
Tell me, how much lucky I got?
Tell me, how much lucky I got?
Tell me, how much lucky I got?
Need a truckload of sky to hold me down
Need a woman called a killer to shut me down
Need a truckload of sky to hold me down
Need a woman called a killer to shut me down
Growing something strange in the back of my eye
Have to hold me down with a truckload of sky
Pray your not planning shutting me down
This whole world’s about to slide
Yeah, this whole world’s about to slide
So tell me, just how lucky I got?
Tell me, just how lucky I got?

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
