The Triple M Acoustic Sessions - Songs

Songs

The songs featured on the EP were all originated from Internationalist. "Already Gone" was released as a single earlier in 1998 and is the first track. The second track is "Private Man" which is written about the pressures of celebrities, and draws indirect references to former INXS lead singer Michael Hutchence. The third song "Hindley Street" is a song of duality, with the verses complaining of being homesick and the troubles of fame, while the choruses then mock the verses pointing out the luxuries of celebrity. The song is named after a street in a red light district of Australian city Adelaide. The song also gives its name to a large fan network of Powderfinger fans "Hindley Site".

Famous quotes containing the word songs:

    On a cloud I saw a child,
    And he laughing said to me,

    “Pipe a song about a Lamb”;
    So I piped with merry chear.
    “Piper pipe that song again”—
    So I piped, he wept to hear.

    “Drop thy pipe thy happy pipe
    Sing thy songs of happy chear”;
    So I sung the same again
    While he wept with joy to hear.
    William Blake (1757–1827)

    How learned he bitter songs of lost Iambe,
    Or that a cup-shaped breast is nothing vile?
    Allen Tate (1899–1979)

    People fall out of windows, trees tumble down,
    Summer is changed to winter, the young grow old
    The air is full of children, statues, roofs
    And snow. The theatre is spinning round,
    Colliding with deaf-mute churches and optical trains.
    The most massive sopranos are singing songs of scales.
    Wallace Stevens (1879–1955)
