He was found drunk and slumped under a magnolia tree his father planted when he was a kid. Many of his songs from the first album reflect on this.)

[tab][Verse 1]
So I have this dream, it comes like twice in a week
It’s been so for years and years on repeat
and since then I’ve not had a full night of sleep
'cause it plays out the same way
I live with this girl and our kid
I’m as happy as a pig rolled in shit
It’s postcard, I’m settled, a pirate no more
a gypsy at most with no mortgage
It’s boring but in the most exquisite of ways
no carcinogenic and humdrum malaise
and it’s strange, all the things that I’ve run from
are the things that completeness could come from
[Verse 2]
So anyway, we’re happy and impossibly so
it’s earth and it’s heaven, all simpatico
floorboards laid out and the walls painted white –
my dream self and I like the same things
They’re all set to leave and I kiss them goodbye
They go and get groceries or something and I
am drinking alone in the basement
and pray I’m not hallucinating.
[Chorus]
Do not let this thing you got go to waste
Do not let your heart be dismayed
It’s here by some random disclosure of grace
from some vascular, great thing
Let your life grow strong and sweet to the taste
'cause the odds are completely insane
Do not let your spirit wane
Do not let your spirit wane
No, no, no, no, no, no
[Verse 3]
In love, I am careful to mostly reserved
and this dream is a life I don’t think I deserve
my girl and our kid are impossibly bright
and I am just drunk in my basement
see a car, see my girl and look at our kid
approaching a corner, with rain and a skid
then a phone call to me from the ICU ward
“Sir, I’m so sorry to say this”
I’m walking alone through the hospital door
ID their bodies, collapse to the floor
numb and relentlessly broken
then I wake up the very next moment
[Chorus]
Do not let this thing you got go to waste
Do not let your heart be dismayed
It’s here by some random disclosure of grace
from some vascular, great thing
Do not let this thing you got go to waste
the pain and the beauty, so strange
Do not let your spirit wane
Do not let your spirit wane
[Bridge]
Cut me out, take me home my
hands are tired, my legs are broke
and the ruptured chrome plus the deep unknown
turn my insides out and my head face down
Cut me out, take me home my
hands are tired, my legs are broke
and the ruptured chrome plus the deep unknown
turn my insides out and my head face down
[Chorus]
Do not let this thing you got go to waste
Do not let your heart be dismayed
It’s here by some random disclosure of grace
from some vascular, great thing
Get the fuck out of your head if it says
“Stay cold and be deathly afraid”
Do not let your spirit wane
Do not let your spirit wane

The track above with the 60’s movie clip (based on true story) – got me thinking about the guys below.
For those who don’t know, The Seekers were big… I mean really BIG… I mean YUGE BIGLY!!! Believe me. Their first 3 singles went to the top of the UK charts - as did their debut album - a first - and they pushed the Beatles out of hogging the top spots and prevented the Stones from getting to number one. When they were playing with some of the top bands at the time, John Lennon passed them backstage and said “You guys are good but just remember, they came to see us”
Their final concert was attended by 200,000 people which is still a record today so it’s difficult to imagine all that when you hear them today but that’s what the public was crying out for in a world that was turning upside down and inside out. The Seekers were a breath of fresh air – perhaps the last breath?

These are some earlier tracks from STIFI when they were more of a Reggae band. I’m not sure if we’ll ever see them together again after the lead singer crashed out. The band said they were finding him in police cells, hospital emergency beds and psychiatric wards so they called it quits until he can get himself together again. Some of his lyrics tell you what he was going through…
