I think this song is about hope and despair.
About friends, and friendships lost.
About the loneliness we feel sometimes, even though we might be surrounded by people.
It invokes thoughts of the times in life when we might be feeling really lost, as you would feel if the one you love or people you thought really cared for, abandoned you instead.
It might take you to the point of ending your life. To that dark place.
The song is so haunting in that way.
However, there is something paradoxically uplifting in the chorus in the manner in which it is sung. It seems to elude to an inner strength, or ‘force of life’ in us that recognizes our ability to adapt to the inevitable change life brings our way.
Originally performed by Died Pretty.
However, there is a cover of this song performed by Courtney Barnett & Dave Faulkner (Hoodoo Gurus) that is exceptionally good. Include the word ‘Rockwiz’ in your search.
