The Triffids - "Save What You Can"

[@bartonim]

This song is so pretty, yet painful to listen to since David is no longer with us. What a gifted musician, and a great songwriter! I love this song. Missing you, David.

[@humblegrumble]

Calenture is one of the most beautiful albums I ever heard in my life!

RIP David McComb (February 17, 1962 - February 2, 1999), aged 36 You will be remembered as a legend.

OMG he was a few months younger than me! I think he was in the year after me at Melbourne University but I never met him. One of my housemates was in a class with him and found him intimidating but he was brilliant enough for that to be forgiven. So many great memories of seeing the Triffids throughout the 80s and one sad one from the mid 90s of seeing him with the Red Ponies and too drunk to perform. At the time I had the fleeting thought that he might be on the way out..... : (

On this New Years, and all that 2020 is, this song, and David, Triffids, and the past of their music, lights me. It resonates so much today. Why is there no passion like this left?

[@grayhalf1854]

Passion got auto-tuned out of music some years ago...

Great song , great band

[@gregluhrs9287]

One of the best aussie bands of all time, along with the go betweens, shame they never got the raps they so richly deserved.f.....g grouse.

[@nevillebowden4948]

Twice (two times) I saw the Go Betweens and the Triffids on the same night in a night club in Melbourne in the mid 80's. Even got to have a chat and beer with Robert Forster and Bob 'Bongo' Starkie (ex-Skyhooks, and owner of The Club). Heady days.

[@CsrGui]

A tear for you, David! Somehow a friend! R.I.P. I never forget.

[@joolsmools]

Wonderful

[@kasperkirkegaard8442]

The melody line in the verses reminds me of Leonard Cohen's Hallelujah. The chorus is spin-chilling and very emotional!
