ReplyDeleteIt's just gorgeous hey? So Sydney.
ReplyDeleteHmmmmm. I like it but...... (at the risk of being a bit of a "grumpy old man?") - Neil Finn just doesn't get me where Cave gets me in those opening bars ....and (at further risk of......)those closing shots are a bit Sydney twee. Sorry Sarah it takes all types of grumpy people to make the world go round.
ReplyDeleteNow the kev Carmody double album "Cannot Buy My soul" - there's a tribute album that does do it for me - especially the Drones version of 'River of Tears'. I saw that album performed live. It was fantastic.
Not the sea - that's true but rivers of tears and emotion.
Can't win 'em all Mr Hat! Happy New Year.
