One of the first songs my wife and i heard on Aussie radio back in 2005 at the very beginning of our adventure. All the way round Perth to Perth in a year in a beat up 1982 Toyota Hiace camper. Best year of my life.

This might be over-sharing... but hey it's only social media right?: I was walking through the supermarket today (in 2022) and heard this song being played. I couldn't quite make out the lyrics but I remembered the melody from 17 years ago... but, unlike 17 years ago, it brought me to tears. I am now listening to the lyrics and am astounded at how relevant they are to the last 3 years of my life. It is moments like these that I feel so fortunate to be alive in such a beautiful world. Thank you Alex Lloyd.

Far out, you're kidding me! I literally have the same story! Just two days ago I was shopping in Woolies pushing the trolley around when heard this - it'd been so many years that it took me a while to recognise it at first. But when it hit me....yeah, a lump certainly came to my throat right there in the fruit and veg ailse. This was my song way back when my marriage broke down (we were never meant to fail...). Shit. Nearly twenty years ago. No mate, not over-sharing at all. Glad you did....thank you. And yes, beautiful to be alive in a beautiful world👍.

As it goes, by the story that's already told, comes a time when we all must let go What happened to the story discontented cuts inside It's not meant to, be this lonely we were never meant to fail. Something that's crawling in my skin emotions are falling as it begins I lost all my virtues long ago I didn't want to hurt you but now we know.
