These guys were from Australia, not America, but I agree that the song is well done and subtly melancholy.



This was an awesome show 3-4 years ago in Hunter Valley, NSW in the vineyard. Band is still relevant today as when this first came out. They also did an awesome Triffids cover that blew me away on the day that is so worth hearing, or the triffids original for its a Wide Open Road. . Thanks Bill.

The bagpipes delineate this arrangement's Australian-ness. It's nothing to do with Scotland, all about dissonance. Fits right into the Australian psyche, a terror of doing anythng that could be construed as sounding "nice" or "gentle". You just have to look at Australian cinema, its what makes us the violence-porn centre of the Universe.
(ok, /long-bow-drawing off...)

That's an interesting take, Rashad. I love this song more every time I hear it...I just wish they had done something better than that yes, very dissonant bridge. Then I would have given it a 10. The rest of the piece is just magical though, so it goes from 8 to 9.

A little sackbutt, perhaps. Or maybe some krumhorn. Personally, I love the pipes. Stirs up something lurking in the blood. Something the sassenach wouldn't understand.

This song is used to great effect in Donnie Darko.

{#No} More sackbutt is never a good thing.

Funny, I turned RP on as the Porcupine Tree song "Trains" was ending, with the notes I heard my mind segued right into this song and Voila!
