Well that's something different. Great rock feeling

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

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

Pushing A Broom (around a dusty room)

/// Lyrics:
Durante años he sido controlada por la mentalidad religiosa
He estado presa de mis pensamientos
Siento una energía dentro de mí, un gran poder invisible, la Telekinesis
Telekinesis, Telekinesis, poder sin límites que no lo puedo controlar.

Romperé las barreras de lo que me imponen
dejaré de ser una chica tímida y cabizbaja
me graduaré con honores en la fiesta de sangre
ya no seré mas objeto de tus burlas
seré tu peor pesadilla infernal.

Telekinesis, Telekinesis, poder sin límites que no lo puedo controlar.

Telekinesis, Telekinesis, poder sin límites que no lo puedo controlar.

Lyrics:
Broken hands
Calloused feet
Hardened heart
From defeat
In disguise
I will rise
From the brink
Of demise
Of demise
Of demise
Vacant eyes
Blatant lies
True to form
No surprise
In despair
Out of hope
Do you care?
Cause they don’t
Rise – Fall
Rise – Fall
Of Demise
Terrorized
Victimized
Awakened now
For reprise
In disguise
I will rise
From the brink
Of demise
Rise – Fall
Rise – Fall
Of demise

From The Brink Of Demise

Words and Music by Edvard Grieg
Vocals and Instrumentals by Layna Claunch

Der Winter mag scheiden, der Frühling vergehn,
der Sommer mag verwelken, das Jahr verwehn,
Du kehrst mir zurück, gewiß, du wirst mein,
ich hab es versprochen, ich harre treulich dein.

Gott helfe dir, wenn du die Sonne noch siehst.
Gott segne dich, wenn du zu Füßen ihm kniest.
Ich will deiner harren, bis du mir nah,
und harrest du dort oben, so treffen wir uns da!

The winter may wane and the springtime may fly and the springtime may fly
The summer may depart and the year may die and the year may die
To me thou wilt return, thou art mine soon or late art mine soon or late
I gave thee my promise and faithfully can wait, and faithfully can wait

God watch over thee at the dawn of each day at the dawn of each day
God bless thee every time that thou kneelest to pray that thou kneelest to pray
I will tarry here for thy coming my love thy coming my love
Or if thou wait'st in heaven I'll meet thee there above
I'll meet thee there above

Solveig's Sang

Day After

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 jeremiads of lukewarm, semi-set puddings were gradually replaced by powerful pieces about climate change, urban decay, relationship breakdown and missing 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.
