Moving finally into the record’s last chapter, we cover the two closing songs on the album: ‘Our Time Is Short’ and ‘Say Yes To Life’. ‘Our Time Is Short’ relays the unstoppable finite passing of time in a way that doesn’t despair, but compels us to let this fact drive an embracing love for life and what it is to be human, and finally, ‘Say Yes To Life’ sees our protagonist look back on the odyssey he’s been on and extend a hand to all those that relate to the struggle he’s faced. With some help from Viktor Frankl and Friedrich Nietzsche, these songs draw the album’s odyssey to a close.No Tone Unturned is a docu-podcast series that takes Australian music seriously.Every season, we’ll take 1 significant Australian album, and work our way through it from start to finish, one song per episode.

The anthemic, ‘The Heart is a Muscle’, teaches us that we can get better at love the same way we can get better at anything else. Our protagonist defiantly refuses to live in the regret of being closed off to love in this celebration of intimacy, and in its 5 minute 23 second runtime, this song reveals what that looks like.No Tone Unturned is a docu-podcast series that takes Australian music seriously.Every season, we’ll take 1 significant Australian album, and work our way through it from start to finish, one song per episode.

Today, we delve into the band’s biggest radio hit: ‘Let Me Down Easy’, a song utterly enamoured with dancing, drinking and opening yourself up to love. We’ll learn why our frontman is so moved by the power of dance, the clever ways in which this song *tries* to get us dancing, and maybe even have a little dance ourselves by the time we’re done.No Tone Unturned is a docu-podcast series that takes Australian music seriously.Every season, we’ll take 1 significant Australian album, and work our way through it from start to finish, one song per episode.

It's the song you’ll all been waiting for, the climax, the dangling on the precipice of mortality: ‘Achilles Come Down’. In Part 1 of this epic, we analyse the build up to the big clash. We ask and answer why he’s up there in the first place, who the voices are that want him to get down, the significance of the ancient Greek Achilles, and the elusive French sample that sounds a little like Camus. Of course, we can’t leave out the song’s unlikely virality and the connection to the best-selling The Song of Achilles by Madeline Miller. The number for lifeline is 13 11 14 (Australia only).To view your country’s crisis hotline(s), visit https://blog.opencounseling.com/suicide-hotlines/.No Tone Unturned is a docu-podcast series that takes Australian music seriously.Every season, we’ll take 1 significant Australian album, and work our way through it from start to finish, one song per episode.

In the paradisal dreamscape of ‘Do Not Let Your Spirit Wane’, there is everything one could ever want: the perfect love, the perfect kid, the perfect house…yet something sinister lurks beneath the surface. We explore the psychological civil war and how Guns and Roses’ ‘Sweet Child O’ Mine’ fits into this routine nightmare. No Tone Unturned is a docu-podcast series that takes Australian music seriously.Every season, we’ll take 1 significant Australian album, and work our way through it from start to finish, one song per episode.

From anxiety into desperation we come to Track 2 - ‘What Can I Do If The Fire Goes Out?’. We explore what keeps our protagonist’s fire burning - is it the will to pleasure, meaning or power? Uncertain if the answer is to be found in Freud, Frankl or Nietzsche, this intensely yearning song also sees him ask God what he's to do to keep this fire burning. No Tone Unturned is a docu-podcast series that takes Australian music seriously.Every season, we’ll take 1 significant Australian album, and work our way through it from start to finish, one song per episode.
