We have a situation

This is another one from around 15 years ago. I was in a band called Halfway Park then and we were in our early 20s, most of us, writing songs about drinking and general mischief. In between those shenanigans, I was evidently worrying about the state of the world and writing songs that were not appropriate for the band I was in.

This one is just stuffed full of hopelessness and despair. We’re royally fucked and there’s no point in trying, apparently. Of course that’s not true, but some days it feels that way. I know this, being a vegan feminist snowflake type who is terrified about the state of the global climate and the general insular selfishness of people.

Despite Elon Musk’s best efforts, there really isn’t anywhere else to go. It’s like he’s already given up on saving our own planet. And by the way, until we can colonise the ocean floor, or even the Australian outback, let’s not worry ourselves about building a big city under a dome on Mars, yeah? Dome city in Australia first. It can be solar powered and everything.
