Intrigued by the title and then taken captive by this plain-spoken ballad about one lost in misfortune.  Sterling performances.

Very good,  perfect musical and vocal production.

You guys remind me so much of one of my fav bands Died Pretty/ thank you

My inner secret stach

A scene plays out for me one hot evening as I was waiting for a bus. 

Kajati adds backing vocals, keyboards and effects.

a lonely smoker smokes on the subway steps
around him his clothes in a bundle of all that's left
he points to the sky and says to the cops
that's where i come from
but they just kicked his legs
and said hey mate we're calling time
move on

thinking about that time before you wrote me a letter
saying that if we split up our lives would be much better
but you had no option so we should just stay together
how many times have you walked out on me i can't remember

he makes his way half a block up the road
there's a coles open late
and redface shouts across the cars
do you want to have a crack at me mate?

he dumps his bags on a bench next to a girl with tired eyes
points down the street and said those bastards ate me alive

mate they're just pushing a broom around a dusty room
the room's still is a mess
but the dust gets moved

they're just pushing a broom around a dusty room
the room's still is a mess
but the dust gets moved

A remixed oldie. Warning: The lyrics of this song contain depictions of interpersonal violence and suicide. That said: Hello… Glad you dropped by. Since I have been busy gardening lately, I haven’t been on SoundCloud all that much. But today… June 17th, it has been cold and rainy, with some snow (yes, snow!) predicted for tonight. So I have tarps and covers ready to go, to cover the frost sensitive plants. Years ago, when I first posted songs here, my exuberance often blinded me to just how bad those songs were. So I ended up posting and deleting songs all the time. Once a dude asked if I was using a mic, as the ‘white noise’ machine hiss of the HD was unbearable. He said it in the kindest of ways. I did end up getting a mic and also did a song thanking him. Other times, I used to introduce my songs with a deep, drawling voice. That was hilariously comedic. Another dude laughed so hard when I was first learning to sing. I posted a song with me warbling from baritone to high falsetto…. OMG. Later, I laughed too. People here were graciously patient and kind as I struggled to learn music way back when. Unlike a friend’s parents who chased him in an effort to take away his banjo and he never played music again. So thanks for bearing with me, as I test out vocal harmonies that really don’t work, or just wing a song, with no rhyme of reason. Or when I rant and howl about this or that. Because that kindness has allowed me to explore music in a way I never would have before.  Mark

Let Go

DONT_LEAVE_ME

The Failed States is a creative project based in an aged care facility in the leafy suburb of Wantirna, Melbourne Australia. 

Initially a recreational outlet, allowing residents to express themselves through music, poetry and sitting still, The Failed States has since taken on a life of it own. 

Anguished songs about other residents' grandchildren being too loud at the table tennis table, or laments of lukewarm, semi-set pudding were gradually replaced by powerful pieces about climate change, urban decay, relationship breakdown and stolen dentures.

There are no permanent members of The Failed States, we live on, as age, petty rivalries, and forgetfulness takes us all.

The Failed States tries to perform in the common room on the second Tuesday of every month, after lunch.
