Troy Cassar-Daley with Ian Moss - South acoustic studio session "clean"

Filmed at Freight Train Studio in Sydney this acoustic version of South was recorded as part of the Together Alone tour set up and assets... South is from Troy's 11th solo studio album The World Today - released March 2021.
"To write a song with Ian about the real hardships of life was something I’d wanted to do for a long time. When things go south and you’re living hand to mouth it’s a struggle at the best of times, as a musician Ian has been my blue collar hero and I hope this song is a beacon of hope for everyone.” TCD..

Lyrics
South - Troy Cassar-Daley/Ian Moss
I’ve been working on an old bridge
We lost in the last big flood
Doing my time on a drill rig
Way down in that north coast mud
On the southern side a cable snapped and we watch a man fall in
I tell ya that’s one bell you can’t unring
Then I got some work at a saw mill
Slaving in the sun all day
No amount of pay cheque money’s
Gonna chase these blues away
I got two kids & a wife at home
Living hand to mouth
Breaking my back
Watching it all go south
Watching it all go south
Stare at an open door
I think about walking away
so many times before
I was raised to stay
My pride says stick it out
I sip on my last beer, year after year
Watching it all go south
Watching it all go south
So I roll with it deal with it
Fight and learn to live with a world that keeps messing with my mind
Saddled up, and rode with it
Even had a drink with it
These days you’ll find me sitting by
Watching it all go south
Stare at an open door
I think about walking away
so many times before
I was raised to stay
My pride says stick it out
I sip on my last beer, year after year
Watching it all go south
year after year
Watching it all go south
Watching it all go south
Watching it all go south
Watching it all go south
