Nineties Revisited: The Day You Come


Original video located here. Accessed 10th July 2018

Song title: The Day You Come

Artist: Powderfinger

Year: 1998

Why I like this song:

For a long time, i have viewed Powderfinger as being in the same boat as Nirvana: That band that people view as the 'be-all-end-all' so everyone else may as well give up now.

But I do maintain a soft spot for this song because I remember hearing ti for the first time back in 1998 and it hitting me like a bullet right between the eyes. It's a comment of racism and frustration that still applies to this day. And those vocals in the climax....
