"Powderfinger" and "Thrasher" hit the sweet spot of having lyrics that were evocative and compelling but not overly literal, leaving some space for enjoyable ambiguity and interpretation.
"Brings back the time when I was 8 or 9, I was watchin' my mama's tv, it was that great Grand Canyon rescue episode." I don't know exactly what you're going for there, Neil, but I'm 100% on board.
The musicianship on "Powderfinger" is just completely badass.

Yes, all great points! His lyrics are very evocative and a bit surreal at times. And that’s a wonderful line. I’m on board too.
Like most of his albums, a very mixed bag for me. I could have lived without Sedan and Welfare...
Such an influential record. I’m sure you know it, but Cowboy Junkies cover of Powderfinger is unbelievable.
Yes it sure is! Love it! My favourite female singer.
