about
Success In Failure (Remixed & Remastered)
The song is a nod and an ethos to the often-false ideas we carry regarding success and failure.
May appeal to fans of The Decemberists, Big Big Train, Benjamin Gibbard, Vance Joy, Passenger, and Alice Strange.

lyrics
A description I once heard her say
‘He’s like ‘The last few hours of the most difficult of days’
A curious thing, I’ve been getting wrong
How the shortest of outbursts have hung around for so long
Not yet redundant from my past live selves
Still elusive, awkward, queer
Self obsession works no more
What if I am no longer here
Who’s holding you now who’s holding you back?
Follow nobody’s footprints
Go make your own tracks
Scent of a new arrival
From such inquisitions you once digressed
I know that you will find success in failure and failure in success
There are no conclusions when you cannot find closure
Secrets will die within the light of exposure
The most natural thing I know I should do
Is put my arms around you
Scent of a new arrival
From such inquisitions you once digressed
I know that you will find success in failure and failure in success
Finding chaos within the order
And the ache to fake now at her bloody awful best
I know that you will find success in failure and failure in success
Oh the echoes of all that has not yet happened
Are you prepared to finally let it go?
The fuel and juice you’re getting out of judgements
The circus monkey no longer needs the show
‘He’s like ‘The last few hours of the most difficult of days’
A curious thing, I’ve been getting wrong
How the shortest of outbursts have hung around for so long
Not yet redundant from my past live selves
Still elusive, awkward, queer
Self obsession works no more
What if I am no longer here
Who’s holding you now who’s holding you back?
Follow nobody’s footprints
Go make your own tracks
Scent of a new arrival
From such inquisitions you once digressed
I know that you will find success in failure and failure in success
There are no conclusions when you cannot find closure
Secrets will die within the light of exposure
The most natural thing I know I should do
Is put my arms around you
Scent of a new arrival
From such inquisitions you once digressed
I know that you will find success in failure and failure in success
Finding chaos within the order
And the ache to fake now at her bloody awful best
I know that you will find success in failure and failure in success
Oh the echoes of all that has not yet happened
Are you prepared to finally let it go?
The fuel and juice you’re getting out of judgements
The circus monkey no longer needs the show
