This has to be one of the greatest songs ever written, and it never even ended up on a triffids album!
I reckon the Arcade Fire would do a ripping cover of this
-
Not only did they make beautiful songs but I love these clips of theirs with images of everyday life.

@slimstersquad No worries.

@HeadlandRoad I didn't mean to use the adjective in any derogatory way. I mean it positively. Where I live, nobody knows who the Triffids are, especially anyone born after 1987.
-
@slimstersquad "little" bands? In what sense?
-
yeah this video played all the way through few months ago - its been clipped
-
is it just me or is someone fooling around with 'snippets'?!?! What's the use of uploading a song at all, if it don't last for 40 seconds... where's the sense in this...?
-
w.t.f?
i had this in my favourites for ages....and it was the full song.
who snipped it?
not happy jan ;(
-
If it can't be said in 41 seconds it's not worth saying. I especially like the way they build up to an unresolved climax but then leave us wanting more.
-
@elhornet i;m having the same problem
-
this is only showing as 41 seconds long. is it me or the clip?

That was (IMO) one of the best Australian Indie singles of all time (Hot Records, Cat. No. "HOT 707") by a truly great (& very) Australian band, The Triffids. This song defines the term "bittersweet" for me & is joyous, rightous experience for me every time I hear it. To nzoz1984, thanks for posting this & all the other great stuff as well.
