Jim Morrison sounding voice, incredible.
I saw them play this live at JB's Dudley (England) around the mid 1980's. They asked for the lights to be dimmed.
Great live band and have most of their albums . Got to meet/speak to Jill Birt she was very sweet.
much loved song. thanks
Compare and contrast this with Wide Open Road. Both are songs about the roads (and life journeys) of Australia, yet are vastly different. Incredible to think they were on the one album. I can't understand why more people aren't talking about the Triffids today- legendary.
This is my all time favourite song from these guys. I was 18y old when I first heard it and I was hooked by its dark promise... Always wanted to make a film and somehow use this track in the soundtrack...
This is the *best road* album ever made - *Born Sandy Devotional* by *The Triffids*
_Anyone who has travelled the long wide roads of Australia will instantly understand the music and lyrics_.
_Get a copy and do the klicks and you will soon see_.

Hace You the álbum for download? I'm from colombia
This song and "Stolen Property" are my favorites from the album, with "TheSeabirds" a close 3rd. I was in high school when I bought this album,
and knew it was something different. It sounds even better today.
One of the best tracks by The Triffids
Triffids, Saints, Nick Cave. All part of the Aussie influence on music. Loved and still love them alll. And not to forget the Go-Betweens. Between them all, we have loved and lost too many musicians.
You have not mentioned maybe the best of the lot = The Church.
Also Hoodoo Gurus and Midnight Oil.
Add Ed Kuepper’s work to that list with his solo catalogue and Laughing Clowns
Then there was Tactics who were absolutely fantastic also
The six minutes of silence seems appropriate after that song. Dave McComb is much missed.
Aint that the truth... Must be time for a self indulgent McComb tribute record or something : /
Still find it hard to believe he's gone
@tahhana86 agreed, theres a 'did i just see something' vibe, and a 'this space is so wide and open- its scary. working in the outback/desert is like that sometimes..you know that there cant be anyone anywhere near you..but still, you know youre vulnerable even though not why!
Wake in fright on a road trip
Great track from a terrific band. Their tentacles spread even into South Africa in '87 which is about when i heard this from Calenture, right? or was it Born Sandy Devotional. Either way it reminds ME of NIck Cave's Murder Ballads for some reason.
NIck definitely copied (or tried to) McComb. He also used the Triffids bass player. None of Caves songs have the depth and drama of McComb's songs, though. He's a cheap copy.
@@MrWoodbrick oh how I've wondered about this.... I'm haven't listened to Nick Cave apart from a few tracks here and there... The Triffids add so much to David's voice don't they? . But I was worried that listeners judge him as a Cave copy man.
Take the train from Perth to Melbourne. Get this.
There. Is. Nothing. Out. There.
You'd think this Triffids track would be a good match for Film-maker, David Lynch. Makes me think of 'Lost Highway' and the like.
@Tahhana86 thanks so much for Thé upload!
“You could die out here from a broken heart…”
Australia
@goldminetrash absolutely true. i refound this lp (on vinyl of course) then bought the extended cd. mental! two of my alltime fave tracks anywhere.
Took a left on the nullabor.
@TheMimifur haha,which way were you going?
Reminds me of Nick Cave and the Bad Seeds.
I kind of suspect that it would be the other way around if David McComb had not died so young.
After The Triffids, Marty Casey became the bassist for the Bad Seeds
so much better
Me too. I came to the triffids after Cave and it took awhile to realise that Cave was really 'referencing' McComb, I think anyway. For me Cave almost veers into parody, whereas for me McComb is totally and completely authentic- it's the entire difference between talent and genius. Australia hasn't produced many geniuses, and I find it dismal that David isn't raised to the public recognition of genius because he was. But Blake waited hundreds of years so there is time still - the truth is eternal.
@@orangesurfboard2238 yeah. thats correct!
