SnarskiCircusLindyBand, the new songwriting collaboration between Rob Snarski (Blackeyed Susans) and Lindy Morrison (Go-Betweens) have today dropped the new single & video "The Dying Conversation" from their forthcoming debut album "what's said and what's left unsaid". SnarskiCircusLindyBand is a fully-fledged band which sees Snarski and Morrison joined by friends Graham Lee (Triffids), Shane O'Mara (Silversound et al) and Dan Kelly (Alpha Males, Paul Kelly). The band marks the first time that Lindy Morrison has recorded her own compositions, and the new single "The Dying Conversation" hangs on particular powerful - yet surprisingly bright - musing on death, grief and loss. THE DYING CONVERSATION What do you think she said holding her drink On beats and songs in my head I said And what do you think after that she asked I think on people who have gone, gone with the dead And what do you think then when you die, What will be left? What will be left? I said, some will be sad and some will forget That I had a life of ridiculous fun Of ridiculous fun So, dying won't make them sad for too long What's happening then a tear down her face I'll just step out and not come back And what do I do her face with a frown Just take me up north to a flame tree town I'll go in the ground when you find the plot With the rest of us that time has forgot Some will be sad and some will forget That I had a life of ridiculous fun Much to recall, don't you forget That I had a life of ridiculous fun So, dying won't make them sad for too long No dying won't make them sad for too long LYRICS L.MORRISON | MUSIC R.SNARSKI
